Chapter 45 Purchase of a Cargo Ship

In the Department of Mathematics of Huaxia University of Technology, Director Liu looked at the topology certificate in his hand.

He looked at the manuscript five times, and almost every time he read it, he was amazed at its ingenuity.

But even so, he did not dare to assert that the proof was correct. This manuscript is not proof of rigor, and several steps are obviously omitted, making it quite difficult to read.

Director Liu has gathered several PhD students in mathematics and asked them to fill in the omitted parts, and he himself has been looking up the information on his laptop from time to time to work on one of the key points.

Qian Haili stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the office building on crutches, looking at the scenery outside in a daze. He was a master of mathematics in China, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, and taught at Jinghua University, with disciples and grandchildren all over the country, and later transferred to the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences. He passed by here this time, so he came to see his protΓ©gΓ©, Director Liu.

Director Liu put down the pen in his hand, stood up, and walked quickly to Qian Haili's side. "Old Qian, the deduction of the manuscript is correct, if the omitted steps are no problem, this proof is correct."

"Talent is rare!" Qian Haili returned to the sofa and sat down, sighing, "In recent years, our country has been engaged in some short-term and fast scientific and technological projects, just staring at money, the gap between basic science such as mathematics and foreign countries has not been narrowed at all. After the death of the older generation such as Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun, there is no successor. This seedling must be cultivated well. ”

Director Liu was about to speak, but saw Principal Zhang walking in with a foreigner, he knew that it must be Kevin, and hurriedly stood up to say hello.

After greeting each other, Principal Zhang asked straight to the point: "Is the conclusion out?" ”

"Not yet," Director Liu pointed to the group of doctoral students who were busy, "and they are still adding the omitted parts." ”

"I didn't expect that our school would produce such a physics genius, and when Li Hao comes back, I will persuade him to transfer to the physics department."

Qian Haili disagreed, "Li Hao is a mathematical genius, of course, he should transfer to the Department of Mathematics." ”

Principal Zhang said: "Old Qian, Li Hao's foundation in microphysics is very good, and he can't waste his talent in this area." ”

Qian Haili said suddenly: "Have you read that proof draft, the whole article is shining with mathematical thinking." What is Mathematical Thinking? 1+2+3+......+100, no matter how fast and accurate it can be calculated, it is just a mathematical craftsman, and it is useless. Being able to add 1+100, 2+99, 3+98, so that it is divided into 50 pairs of numbers, and directly multiply 101 by 50 to get the result, which is the thinking of mathematicians.

Qian Haili continued to gush: "How many people have calculated adding from 1 to 100? But how many people like Gauss have come up with such an ingenious method? This is mathematical thinking, and if you have this kind of thinking, you will be a genius mathematician. If you look at the proofs of topology, there are clever things everywhere, and this is the flash of mathematical thinking. This kind of genius, this way of thinking, learning nothing else without learning math is the greatest waste. ”

Principal Zhang did not back down and said: "Old Qian, you can't say that, you need a genius to do mathematics, and you don't need a genius to do physics?" Li Hao's few pages of manuscript rejected a hypothetical model of fundamental particles that had been popular in physics for more than a decade. How significant is that? If you have to wait for the experiment to be rejected, maybe it will take ten or twenty years.

"For more than ten or twenty years, the cost of microscopic physics experiments has been very expensive. To prove that hypothetical model correct, how many large particle accelerators are in operation around the world? How many experimental physicists are fighting all night for it? Li Hao's only a few pages of manuscript are enough to save tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in scientific research expenses for the world. Can this kind of person not study physics? ”

Director Liu saw that the two were fighting each other, and each did not back down, so he hurriedly said, "This ...... In fact, we can only make suggestions, as for how Li Hao chooses, we should respect his own opinions. He is interested in it, so he can produce results. Let's ask him if he wishes. ”

This is reasonable, it is useless to argue about this now, it is better to persuade Li Hao himself to argue for no reason here.

At this time, Director Liu's mobile phone rang suddenly, he took it out and saw that it was the principal of Huaxia University of Technology calling, he pressed the answer, and immediately heard the voice of President Wang: "Lao Liu, is there a professor or lecturer named Li Hao in your department?" I checked the personnel file and didn't find it, do you have a temporary external substitute or something? ”

"Nope. Principals, all faculty and staff, including temporary employees, must be entered into the school's personnel management system, otherwise they will not be able to pay salaries. But ......"

Principal Wang said regretfully: "Yes, I was confused for a while. It seems that the editorial office of Mathematical Research made a mistake. What a pity! ”

Mathematical studies? This is the top academic journal in mathematics. Director Liu guessed a few points, and hurriedly said, "Principal, there is a student named Li Hao in our school. ”

Principal Wang's heart moved and asked, "Is he good at math?" ”

"This ...... Very good two words are probably not enough to describe his level, the future is terrifying, I just read a few pages of his proof of topology with Qian Lao, I think it is more appropriate to use the word genius to open up him. ”

Principal Wang said happily: "How many people can there be in the country with this level?" That should be that he can't be wrong. ”

"What can't be wrong?"

President Wang smiled and said, "The journal "Mathematical Research" sent a fax saying that a mathematical certificate written by Professor Li Hao of our school has passed the review. The magazine invited 16 honorary advisors to participate in the review, and all the consultants unanimously agreed that the proof was correct and complete"

Director Liu was surprised: "What? Sixteen Honorary Advisors? Honorary advisors of the journal "Mathematical Research", all of whom are internationally renowned mathematicians. Why do you have to invite so many consultants to review it? This proof must be no small thing. ”

Principal Wang said: "I also know that this is not trivial, so I hurriedly searched for Li Hao, but there was no such person in the personnel management system, and I didn't know how disappointed I was just now." I called you with the hope of just in case. ”

Principal Wang knew that the paper could enhance the school's honor, and for him, as long as the author was from the school, it didn't matter if the teachers and students were there. Of course, it is the students who are better, doesn't this show more that the level of education in the school is high?

Li Hao left Huaxia University of Science and Technology, returned to his rented place, and continued to purchase materials brought to the Northern Song Dynasty online.

Browsing around the web, a message for a purchase piqued his interest. The seller was in dire need of cash to pay off his debts and decided to sell a cargo ship.

The ship has a double deck and cargo hatches lined with lifting poles, which can easily lift cargo under 10 tons. The ship was 80 meters long, 500 tons in load, and 15 knots in speed. With a draft of more than two meters when fully loaded, such boats can be used in inland rivers and offshore waters.

Due to the seller's rush to sell, the price is much lower than normal.

Do you want to buy it? Li Hao had long wanted to buy a boat, and it was difficult for some large things to be transported to the Northern Song Dynasty by himself, so it was much more convenient to have a boat. Then load everything on the boat, open a huge wormhole, and drive the boat over.

Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland in Qinglin Bay that you can buy, stretching all the way to the sea, and you can build a small wharf. The boat has a draft of more than two meters and is easy to dock.

Li Hao became interested, immediately contacted the seller, and the next day he rushed to the seller's city by car, saw the boat, and asked the driver to drive the boat to take him to the sea to try it.

Li Hao was quite satisfied with the ship, and bought it after some bargaining. The ship is still in operation, the license is complete, and you only need to go through the transfer procedures, which can be done immediately.

Li Hao hired a temporary driver, studied with him for a few days, and learned basic driving. During this period, Li Hao bought a large number of materials and loaded them onto the ship, including dozens of tons of cement, more than 20 sets of large-scale wind power generation equipment, a large amount of diesel, and various other materials.

During this period, the principal of the school called Zhang, and Li Hao explained that he had something to do and needed to take a leave of absence for a while. Principal Zhang also agreed.

Everything was ready on board, and in the evening, Li Hao found the temporary pilot and asked him to drive the boat out to sea. After leaving the port, he anchored and stopped in a remote place not far from the sea, Li Hao sent him ashore in a small boat, and called a taxi to pick him up.

The driver saw that Li Hao was so mysterious and thought that he was trying to smuggle. But the driver didn't meddle too much, he only worked for a few days, Li Hao gave him the equivalent of three months' salary, what else is not satisfied?

Li Hao returned to the ship by himself, and when it was late at night, Li Hao woke up the intelligent system of the super wormhole: "I want to open a wormhole with a diameter of twenty meters and go straight to the world of the Northern Song Dynasty." ”

"I told you last time, it costs 8 energy."

It's twice as much as usual, but it's completely acceptable, Li Hao said, "Make sure there are no people or surveillance around the boat." ”

"The ship is out of sight and is not being monitored."

"Okay, open a wormhole with a diameter of twenty meters and connect it to the sea outside Qingqi Bay in the Northern Song Dynasty."

"The wormhole is activated, the exact coordinates have been found, and the sea level of the two worlds is level, and the ship can be driven through."

Li Hao started the cargo ship and drove forward, and the huge circle of aperture of the wormhole was half exposed on the surface of the sea, and half was submerged in the sea.

The cargo ship sailed smoothly through the wormhole, Li Hao immediately closed the wormhole, and at the same time stopped the ship, after all, it was night, and his driving skills ...... It's not even a half-heart, it's too dangerous to run around at night, so let's wait until dawn.

The electric winch turned, sinking the huge anchor to the bottom of the sea, and the cargo ship came to a steady stop. It's not far from the shore, the wind and waves are not too big, and the boat doesn't feel bumpy.

Li Hao walked to the deck, the sea breeze blew his clothes to hunt and dance, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the stars in the clear night sky of the Northern Song Dynasty.
