That afternoon, Wang Hao did not go to the lecture hall again.

He made a report for more than three hours in a row, and after writing the proof on the whiteboard, his wrists felt a little sore, and his whole body was very tired.

Later, he dealt with a large number of scholars who came, and when the excitement of completing the proof had passed, he returned to the big bed in the hotel, and as soon as he closed his eyes, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and he was still woken up by Zhang Zhiqiang.

The two went to dinner together, then returned to the room and continued to rest.

At this time, his spirit was much better, and Wang Hao also had time to take stock of the harvest.

[Complete the research and development of S-level difficulty and obtain 3,000 teaching coins.] 】

A simple hint is the biggest gain, after completing the S-level difficulty research and development, you can earn 3,000 teaching coins, and the number of teaching coins has jumped to '4501' points, just seeing this number, he can't help but grin.

The previous accumulation speed of teaching coins was too slow, so slow that there would be a loss if there was no task settlement, and I gained three thousand points at once, and I had a feeling of suddenly becoming an upstart.

"It's still a difficult task with high returns!" Wang Hao thought with some expectation, "The study of prime number distribution is a general direction of number theory, not necessarily only to complete a research and development, but also to continue, as a long-term task, slowly accumulate inspiration value, there will definitely be results!" ”

He's starting to look forward to it.

The next morning, Wang Hao regained his spirit and continued to go to the venue to attend the report meeting.

There were still a lot of people on the road to say hello, and some people came to say hello, but he was used to it, just said a few words to people, and then entered the second hall.

This time, Wang Hao did not sit in the front row, but found a corner position in the third row, and a little 'secret' will reduce a lot of trouble.

He hopes to accumulate a few points of inspiration by listening to the report, and he does not need to participate in the review work, and he can sit in the back more comfortably.

"Is there anyone here?" There was a question in English with a somewhat nasal accent next to him.

Wang Hao turned his head and saw a strangely dressed man, with a red scarf on his forehead wrapped in long curly hair with a peculiar smell, and a denim jacket on his upper body, revealing a vest with red cartoon patterns on his chest.

"Rock singer?"

Wang Hao complained in his heart, but still nodded and said, "No one." ”

"Thank you."

The weird man is very polite, and after sitting down, he has been shrinking his shoulders and constantly pursing his lips, as if he is a little nervous not to adapt to the environment.

After the report on the stage began, the weird man didn't seem to be listening carefully, but looked at Wang Hao frequently, and when Wang Hao turned his head, he immediately put his eyes on the stage and pretended not to turn his head.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" Wang Hao couldn't hold back and asked directly.

The weird man seemed to be startled, turned his head to look at it again, was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Are you Wang Hao?" Is that Wang Hao, who made a report at noon yesterday? ”

"I am."

"Oh."

The weird man seemed to confirm the information, and turned his head straight to continue to look at the stage.

The other party just inquired and didn't continue to speak, and Wang Hao simply listened to the report carefully.

After a while, the weird man seemed to think of something and spoke again, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Patrick Roche, you can call me Patrick." He also emphasized, "We introduced each other, and you should be able to call me by my name." ”

"Hello, Patrick."

"Hello."

Patrick Roche seemed to be interested in talking, and suddenly asked a strange question, "Are you married?" ”

“…… No. ”

"I think so, I've seen your profile, you're only twenty-five years old. Do you have a girlfriend? ”

“…… No? Wang Hao hugged his chest and squeezed back, looking to the side to see if there were still vacant seats, thinking if he should move another position?

Patrick Roche seemed to be happier when he heard Wang Hao say that he didn't have a girlfriend, and his words obviously increased, "I don't have a girlfriend either." I've always wanted to find a girlfriend, but, you know, very few women like us would like an otaku. ”

"A while ago, I had a cousin who introduced me to her colleague Emile, who was Hispanic, and she was okay looking, but very fat, and she said that she had two hundred pounds (180 pounds+)."

"And then?" Wang Hao was curious about the end of this story.

"She doesn't want to be my girlfriend."

"Poof!"

Patrick Roche didn't care about Wang Hao's gaffe, "I knew you would react like this, but it doesn't matter, although she said she wouldn't be with me, she didn't refuse to go to my house, and once let me go to her house, it's really warm......"

He continued, "I tell you this story to comfort you that it doesn't matter if you can't find a girlfriend, there will always be unexpected surprises that belong to you. ”

"Why do you think I'm just like you?"

Patrick Roche rightly said, "You're twenty-five and you're a mathematician, of course." ”

"Okay, I won't hit you."

He opened his mouth to change the subject, "Yesterday I listened to your report, the proof of the Atin's constant, I didn't figure it out, but I wasn't interested, but, your new algorithm is very interesting, have you ever thought about its application?" ”

"Rubik's Cube? Or for data analysis? ”

"That's certainly not the best app." Patrick Roche said, "You've heard my name, right?" I'm still a little famous. ”

"Forehead ......"

Wang Hao struggled with 'whether he had heard or not', and in order not to hit the strange person in front of him, he nodded and said, "I've heard it." ”

"Of course, a lot of people know me because I found the fifty-first Mersenne prime. If you have research on prime numbers, you should also use GIMPS

Looked for the Mersenne prime, right? ”

Wang Hao suddenly knew who Patrick Rosh was, and Patrick Rosh's name could be seen in many news related to Mason primes.

Patrick Roche, is the discoverer of the 51st Mersenne prime.

It's remarkable.

The Mersenne prime number refers to the prime number that conforms to the expression '2 to the nth power minus one', where n is the prime number, and the expression can be understood as '2 prime to the power minus one'.

Obviously, the larger the Mersenne prime, the harder it is to find, and the larger the number is, the harder it is to calculate.

So far, the scientific community has only found 51 Mersenne primes, and the latest 51st Mersenne prime, which Patrick Roche found through GIMPS, a shared web search activity for finding Mersenne primes.

This latest Mersenne prime is 2 to the power of 82,589,933 minus one, and the exact number of digits is as high as 24,862,048 digits.

Patrick Roche didn't mean to show off his results, he just mentioned it to show that he knew a lot about Mersenne primes and the GIMPS mechanism, and then said, "I think your algorithm can be used to verify prime numbers, it's just a feeling, and I'm not sure." You are the creator of the algorithm and will definitely know more about it, maybe you can devise a new way to find prime numbers, simplifying the existing calculation program. ”

"I always thought that the program was inefficient, and it was designed 20 years ago. No progress has been made in twenty years. ”

Patrick Roche said seriously, "If you can simplify the algorithm, be sure to tell me first, and I'll be more familiar with it, so that I can find the next Mersenne prime first." ”

His tone was very serious.

Wang Hao asked with some confusion, "Why are you so obsessed with finding Mersen primes?" ”

"100,000 dollars!" Patrick Roche replied as a matter of course, "If you can take another hundred thousand dollars, take out some of it and put it in your hand, and walk down the street, there will definitely be women who will take the initiative to give it to you, right?" ”

"Won't you be robbed?" Wang Hao's eyes were full of confusion.

Patrick Roche was surprised and asked, "How did you know I had this experience?" ”

"Uh~~"

……

Wang Hao stayed in the lecture hall for a morning, and only gained a little inspiration, but he also participated in the whole meeting completely.

At noon, I went back to the hotel to pack my luggage, and I could wait for the afternoon and leave directly.

The academic conference also has a closing ceremony, but the scholars who come do not have to attend, most of the scholars have left early, they don't want to go through any official process, Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang booked the afternoon air tickets, they simply waited in the hotel, and went directly to the airport at about the same time, the closing ceremony and the like are really not important.

In fact, the closing ceremony still has some significance, for example, the specific time of several paper awards will be announced, but Wang Hao is a special guest reviewer, and the 'work report' will not participate in the award selection, even if it is replaced by an achievement report, unless it is submitted to the conference in advance, the paper is eligible to participate in the award selection.

Of course, that doesn't matter.

Even if he didn't participate in the award selection and wouldn't be judged as the 'best' or anything like that, anyone knows that his "Valid and Irrelevant Carry Algorithm" is the best of the conference, which has received the most attention and influence, and has a wide range of applications in the future.

"The Boundedness of the Existence of Artin's Constant" is a work of number theory and has no direct application value, but in the academic field, it will be more valued than "Efficient and Irrelevant Carry Algorithm", and will be regarded as a greater achievement.

This time Wang Hao can be said to be full of harvest, and after getting on the plane, he was thinking about the weird man Patrick Rosh.

He chatted with Padraic for a few words, and he felt that something was wrong.

That guy's personality is very strange, probably like he himself said he is an 'otaku', but if you think about it carefully, you can understand that normal people who would use the GIMPS distributed computing network for a long time to calculate and find Mason primes?

When some people are interested, they will also study GIMPS and use the computing power in the system to find it, but the guy who can really find the Merson prime number is by no means lucky in a short period of time, and it must have taken a long time and energy to do so, because the chance of luck is too small, so small that it is much smaller than five million.

This doesn't sound like a normal person!

Wang Hao thought about Padrak's weirdness, and also thought about the other party's suggestion, but he felt that Padrak's idea was very good, and using the valid and irrelevant carry algorithm to verify prime numbers might indeed improve efficiency.

This needs to be carefully examined, especially when it comes to finding Mersenne primes, there are many calculations that can be simplified.

Otherwise, create a task?

Do what you think!

[Task 2]

[Research Project Title: Novel Mersenne Prime Test Algorithm (Difficulty: A.)] 】

[Inspiration value: 0.] 】

[Complete A-level difficulty research, and get an additional teaching coin: 1000.] 】

[Task settlement, get the reward of teaching coins.] 】

……

While Wang Hao was on the plane to Xihai City, many people were busy with his mathematical achievements.

The day before, when he completed the testimony in the lecture hall, it did not cause much discussion, because only a few small media released the news, and even the TV media that did live interviews covered the news and did not release it.

The reason is simple, the proof process is not verified by an authority.

Of course, the big media will worry about making a 'oolong', Wang Hao's proof is very smooth, but only Pete Schulz alone is sure that the proof is perfect, and the others can't keep up with the train of thought on the spot, and they can't be sure whether the proof is correct.

The results of a mathematical proof must be certified by a sufficiently authoritative organization before it can be recognized as valid, and the big media also wait for authoritative institutions to speak.

The first to speak was the Applied Mathematics Society of Capital University.

They were one of the organizers of the Zhucheng Computer Conference, and on the same day, they organized experts to do research on Wang Hao's proof, and they also invited a member of mathematics from the Academy of Sciences.

After completing all the research, the proof process was very complete, and the Applied Mathematics Society of Capital University announced, "We are very sure that Wang Hao's proof of the existence and boundedness of the Atin constant is correct." ”

The next one is the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences, and they also quickly got all the proofs, and released the news that the proofs were perfect, only half an hour later than the Applied Mathematics Society of Capital University.

The third institution that released the news was a little surprised, it was the internationally renowned Clay Institute of Mathematics, probably influenced by the participation of Pete Schultz, who attached great importance to Wang Hao's proof, and immediately verified it after getting the proof process.

Later, the news was released, saying, "The Clay Institute of Mathematics recognizes Wang Hao's proof of the existence and boundedness of the Atin constant. ”

The message also included a brief assessment, "This is a groundbreaking study. The progress in the field of prime number distribution may represent a higher significance in the study of prime number distribution, or it may be higher than the study of characteristic category primes. ”

Prime number distributions and characteristic category prime numbers are two different things.

The most representative of the former is the Riemann conjecture, while the latter includes the twin prime conjecture, the Zhou conjecture and so on.

Two domestic institutions and one foreign agency have all released news confirming Wang Hao's proof.

For a while, the media released relevant reports.

Other media noticed the news and began to rack their brains to write reports.

The job is very difficult for the average journalist.

The difficulty of understanding the Artin conjecture is far less than that of the Riemann conjecture, but it is not as easy to understand as the Goldbach conjecture, the Kakutani conjecture and the Fermat conjecture, mainly because it involves the concept of a 'primordial root'.

If you want to understand the concept of the original roots, it is nothing for those who come from a professional mathematics department, and for most journalists from a journalism department, you can only scratch the scalp.

However, if they can't write it, they have to write it, because they know that this news will definitely be very popular.

In the past few decades, the achievements in the field of analytic number theory have all belonged to foreign countries, and even the research done by Chinese people is 'Chinese mathematicians', not 'domestic mathematicians'.

Wang Hao, an authentic domestic mathematician, was born in Donggang University and worked at Xihai University, he didn't even have a resume of studying abroad, and he was only twenty-five years old.

At the age of twenty-five, he can complete important achievements in the field of analytic number theory with world influence, and can undoubtedly be classified as a 'super mathematical genius'.

Many people seem to have seen a mathematical genius rising, and he will definitely be eligible to challenge Fields in the future, and maybe he will win this pinnacle award in mathematics in a few years.

This is enough to make the domestic media boil!
