Chapter 346: Flying to Earth (Part II)
Mathematics is universal to the universe, even if the real matter is different, but Wang Qing believes that intelligent beings who can develop civilization should have the same mathematical thinking, because mathematics is originally abstract and does not involve a kind of thinking about actual matter.
That is to say, no matter what race the other party is, what culture it is, the other party should be able to understand the mathematical language, and the reason why he didn't believe that the other party was an alien before was because there was no language barrier in communication between the two sides.
But in the game, he found that the qiē in it should be no different from the real spaceship, but it is bigger and more advanced.
He wants to use a mathematical problem to prove whether the other party is an alien or not, the mathematical problem is not a random flicker, and there is no big mathematician in the ravine, a hidden master, this is a discipline that requires a high degree of communication, and everything that is closed is backward without exception.
“………… The above is a mathematical problem I proposed, which on Earth is called the Goldbach conjecture, and it has stumped countless people."
Wang Qing naturally threw out this famous mathematical problem, and many people claimed that he had proved this mathematical conjecture, but none of the answers were recognized, and in today's rapid progress of computers, it has still not been perfectly solved.
"It's interesting, but I'm not good at it, but I know a bunch of guys like to play around with numbers, you wait for me, I'll wake them up," the guard began. Then turn around and leave.
Wang Qing waited anxiously. What is it. It won't take long to get it verified.
………………
"This, that's the answer to Goldbach's conjecture?" Wang Qing looked at the article that appeared in front of him that seemed complicated to laymen, but as long as people with a certain degree of mathematical attainment could understand it, he couldn't help but shake, although he didn't study mathematics, but he still mastered the high-level knowledge related to mathematics, after all, mathematics is a tool for scientific research.
He quickly called a few students to see if the text on the screen was correct or not.
Several people rushed in. It took more than two hours to finally understand the whole reasoning process.
"Exactly, it's amazing, how can there be such a mathematical method?!"
After Wang Qing confirmed that it was correct, he suddenly thought that he hadn't replied for a long time, whether the other party in the game was impatient, but when he replied, he found that the other party didn't care at all, and his patience was very good.
"You guys are so amazing, such a clever idea. We spent hundreds of years and didn't find it, how did they come up with it? ”
"Nothing. This kind of problem, their guys who like to play numbers games, have studied it thoroughly, and they have tens of thousands of years to spend on it."
Wang Qing couldn't help but shake, in this way, it is not that the earthlings are not smart, but the development time is too short, fortunately, the other party has no threat to the earth in terms of tone and content, and in turn, the earth can learn a lot.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately turned around and said to the students and assistants around him, "Everyone must keep this matter secret"
Now there are five people in this research room, three students, and two are external assistants, and as a research-oriented person, they don't have much scheming.
Soon, someone's face changed, and he also thought of Wang Qing's purpose.
"If this article is published, it will immediately be fame and fortune," someone began to whisper.
They remembered the proof of this mathematical conjecture in their own country in the last century, and that someone had made great progress and in those days had received great attention from the state, not to mention the current situation.
Network communication is so developed, once it is announced, it will immediately become a sensation in the world, and there is no need to worry that someone will steal the results, after all, the first publisher is too easy to query.
"But this is not our achievement, how can we, as scientific researchers, steal for ourselves?" Wang Qing still has a bit of a conscience, and now there are still a group of adherents in the industry where copying papers has become a trend, and he is one of them.
"However, this is also what we can talk about," one of his assistants, unable to bear it, has worked hard for many years as a researcher, and has not made much profit, but he has a good reputation outside, and he can't get a car ticket. In this kind of industry, the top people take the project and the fund get the softness, and he can only do coolies as a low-level laborer, and the money he earns is not as much as that of some capable white-collar workers.
"Yes, it's a pity not to publish it here" One of his students also muttered, usually he didn't have the courage to do this to the teacher, but now in front of fame and fortune, he can't bear it. Even if it is signed at the end, it is a world reputation, and it is to be circulated in the history books.
"But after all, it's not our research, besides, we are not in the field of mathematics, we can understand this article, but if you want to tell others, how did you think of all kinds of mathematical methods and tools, it's impossible" Wang Qing shook his head, he can also use calculus to prove many things, but to tell others, how he invented calculus from scratch, it's impossible.
"Then ask the other party, can you sign a code name, let us publish on behalf of us" An assistant retreats to the second, at least there is a lot of gain, at least in exchange for fame, once the fame comes, all kinds of lectures, university invitations can be less?
"Okay" Wang Qing naturally didn't want to bury such a precious mathematical proof like this, and he quickly replied to the guard in the game.
"Thank you for giving me this mathematical answer, I don't know, if you allow us to publish on Earth, of course the authorship is still yours" Unconsciously, he has a lot of respect for the other party, this is the authority that knowledge brings, unlike violence, it can make a person obey from the heart.
"Of course, they have a lot of this stuff there, so please publish it, and as for the name, you can sign it with the code name 'Counting Stones'" The guard didn't care.
"Thank you," Wang Qing was overjoyed, as the person who got this answer after the exchange, he and these assistants can achieve fame and fortune just like those who found it.
He took the opportunity to throw out many more mathematical problems, and asked his assistant to hurry up and collect the mathematical journals of the past years to collect the problems on them.
…………
"There are a total of 158 problems, all of which are mathematical problems with the weight of the world, and if you prove one, you can win the Fields Medal, but how do we publish it now? When people ask about the source, how do we explain it? "Although we have permission from the other party to publish the answer, how to publish it is difficult for the other party.
"That's good, anyway, there are so many anonymous people on the Internet, why don't we just say that it was discussed with an anonymous person, and as for the identity, we can't find it" (to be continued......)
