"All three are Mersenne primes?" Zhu Jianrong was stunned, obviously in a state of confusion.

Chen Qinghua asked more standardly, "You mean, the Mason numbers corresponding to these three black prime numbers are all Mersen primes?" ”

The two of them each asked, and then looked at each other, both feeling a little confused in their thinking.

It takes an average of several years for a Mersenne prime to be verified, and the first time a Chinese scholar discovers a Mersenne prime, it is already big news for China.

The Chinese scholar quickly found the second Mersenne prime, which can be said to be very incredible, and it is a great achievement that has been focused on by the international community.

They discussed for more than an hour, just biting the words on the announcement issued by the school, because they all knew that the announcement would definitely be followed by many people, and many media reporters had come to the door, just to know the news about the Mason prime.

The result?

You're telling us how many more Mersenne primes are 'in line' for validation?

Is this looking for Mersenne primes?

This is......

"Then hurry up and verify!" Chen Qinghua immediately reacted, remembered the research content that Wang Hao told him, and immediately rushed out of the laboratory to find Zhang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Zhiqiang was sleeping soundly on the single bed, and was dragged up by Chen Qinghua, and he was dragged to the central laboratory without knowing what was going on.

"Hurry, set, verify!"

Chen Qinghua said six words simply, which also made Zhang Zhiqiang understand, and he immediately cheered up, opened the software customization function, and verified a few numbers.

Meanwhile.

Zhu Jianrong pulled Wang Hao aside and asked carefully, "Wang Hao, are you sure?" Are those really Mersenne primes? This is no joke. ”

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "I'm not 100% sure, that's why I have to verify it." ”

"How sure are you?"

"More than ninety percent." Wang Hao pursed his lips vigorously, and he didn't say anything to death.

Zhu Jianrong swallowed his saliva when he heard the number, and he nodded his head vigorously, "Nine achievements are enough!" ”

"I believe in you!"

He left a sentence and quickly walked out of the laboratory building.

Zhu Jianrong returned to the school's science and technology department, he held the handwritten announcement in his hand, and as soon as he sat back in his seat, he heard Li Ming ask, "Do you want to make an announcement?" I've written it and I'm just waiting to submit it. ”

"What an announcement! Delete it now! ”

Zhu Jianrong said anxiously, and then crumpled the handwritten announcement into a ball, "Don't send it, rewrite it." ”

"Huh?"

Li Ming was very puzzled.

Zhu Jianrong ignored Li Ming, but typed on the computer--

[Congratulations to Professor Hao Wang for making a major breakthrough in the research of Mersenne primes, and with the help of the Mason Number Science Laboratory of the School of Computer Science of our university, he has discovered two Mersenne primes in a row.] 】

Li Ming watched from the side and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "This passage is written very horizontally. ”

"But ......"

"Mason Math Science Lab, is it from our school?"

Zhu Jianrong glanced at him, shook his head and smiled, "You don't understand this." It wasn't before, but it will be there later. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Jianrong didn't explain much, and continued to write the next sentence--

[At the same time, the Mason Number Science Laboratory continues to verify other numbers, among which new Mersen primes are expected.] 】

[Thank you for your attention from all walks of life!] 】

[If there is a new discovery, the Mason Digital Science Laboratory will announce the relevant results as soon as possible.] 】

Li Ming still felt a little confused from the beginning to the end, and he asked repeatedly, "What is this Mason Mathematics Science Laboratory?" ”

Zhu Jianrong shook his head and said, "You don't care about this." Now we will prepare a report on the major achievements related to Mersenne prime, and then apply for a grant from the superior! ”

"Hasn't the school always intended to develop a computer school? It is also intended to develop a computer laboratory. ”

"Now is your chance!"

"Last year, I allocated money to buy two servers, both of which are the most basic configuration of the key laboratory, with this result, not to mention building a supercomputing center and expanding the computer laboratory, there is no problem at all, and the province will be happy to allocate funds at that time."

"But ......"

"I still have to talk to Wang Hao and let him be the chief researcher of the Mason Digital Science Laboratory!"

Li Ming listened and nodded constantly, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Jianrong a few times.

He is already the deputy director of the science and technology department, but it seems that there is still a lot to learn in terms of finding opportunities to fight for the interests of the school's development.

……

After the announcement of Xihai University was released, it immediately caused a huge response.

The discovery of two Mersenne primes in a row within a week is definitely a shocking news in the academic circles, and the discoverer of Mersenne primes is the same Chinese scholar, which is enough to make the news cross-border cause huge public opinion.

The heat of public opinion in China has lasted for a whole morning, and many people are waiting for the confirmation of Xihai University.

As a result, Seohai University issued an announcement, and it was indeed the same as they thought, that they had found the second Mersenne prime in a week.

At the same time, there is another piece of news with a note that is even more alarming.

"There are still numbers verifying, most likely also Masonne primes? That's what the announcement of Seohai University means, right? ”

"Really? It's terrible, isn't it, could it be that Professor Wang Hao has cracked the mystery of the Mersenne prime? ”

"Impossible, there was a professor of mathematics at the Center for Mathematical Sciences at Mizuki University in the morning, and he said that it is impossible for the Mason prime number to have a regularity, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago."

"If the law of Mersenne primes can be cracked, you mean that prime numbers are also regular, and it is not a matter of simply finding Mersenne primes."

"But what does Seohai mean? They can't be fools, right? ”

"Didn't the announcement say that Professor Wang Hao has made significant achievements in the research of Mersenne primes? What exactly is the result of this? I'm really looking forward to it. ”

A lot of people are looking forward to it.

When the first Mersen prime was found, many people thought that Wang Hao's luck was good, and when the second Merson prime was found, some people already had doubts that people's luck could not be so good.

Now Xihai University has publicly said that Wang Hao has made a major breakthrough in the study of Mersenne prime, and there are other numbers in the verification, which immediately aroused heated public opinion.

What are the results of Mersenne primes? What exactly is the result? How many numbers are still being verified in the university bulletin?

Public opinion, boiling.

The announcement of Xihai University has attracted a lot of attention and discussion in a short period of time, and the hot search rankings on several online platforms have also rushed to the top three in one go.

At the same time, a large number of media reporters flocked to the so-called Mason Digital Science Laboratory.

They searched and asked, but they didn't find out where the so-called 'Mason Number Science Laboratory' was, and finally came to the computer laboratory building.

Because of the large number of people, the reporters were stopped by the security guards and were not allowed to enter, so they could only wait together at the entrance of the building.

After waiting for about half an hour, a professor from the laboratory building came out and led them to the sixth floor, where dozens of reporters and equipment blocked the corridor.

Then they met the so-called Mason Mathematics Science Laboratory.

It was a larger room, and looking through the glass windows, you could see that it was a little cluttered and there was the hum of a computer console.

In front of the door of the house was a blank piece of paper with a few large handwritten letters on it--

Mason Mathematics Science Laboratory.

"This lab is too miserable, isn't it? Don't even have a brand? Just a room, a few computers? It doesn't look like a computer room for students to take classes. ”

A reporter who reacted quickly immediately recorded, "It was in such a difficult environment that Professor Wang Hao completed the study of Mersenne primes, and used a dilapidated computer to do detection and analysis, and found Mersenne primes." ”

Mason Mathematics Science Lab is not allowed to enter, citing the fact that major research is underway.

The reporters could only take a look outside, take a few photos by the way, and then they were arranged to the small conference room downstairs, crowded inside to interview and ask questions.

Chen Qinghua, Zhang Zhiqiang, Qi Xiao, Zhu Jianrong and several other people were interviewed, and two doctoral students were called and introduced as participants in the project.

They talked together that Wang Hao completed the study of Mersenne primes in a difficult environment, and used the laboratory computer to detect Mersenne primes.

After hearing this, the reporters hurriedly made a record, and then offered to interview Wang Hao.

It's a pity......

It's not that the school doesn't let Wang Hao be interviewed, but Wang Hao has already left, because he waited for a long time for verification, so he went back to rest directly.

A group of reporters could only wait for the experimental downstairs, and then someone simply went outside to find a hotel, and squatted to interview Wang Hao.

In the school, there are reporters squatting.

There are more people on the Internet waiting for news, they saw the timely interview news released by the reporter, and knew that the Mason Number Science Laboratory of Xihai University was based on Wang Hao's research to find the Mersen prime.

At the same time, it was determined that there were other Mason numbers being tested.

The reporter also interviewed the specific testing news.

"The first number is about 13 hours." Thirteen hours is an astonishing amount of time for the detection of a number, but after some people have done popular science, they feel that the time is already very short.

How can it be so easy to do primeness detection with tens of millions or hundreds of millions of digits?

At this time, public opinion has not only appeared at home, but also abroad has already known the news.

The information interviewed by the reporter is that Xihai University normally uses PRIME software as a detection tool, and PRIME software has the function of timely reporting and updating on the GIMPS website.

As a result, many people began to squat on the GIMPS website, hoping to get first-hand information.

That's not one person, it's a whole bunch of people.

The good news is that more people know about GIMPS, and the number of new users who have registered to participate in GIMPS has increased significantly, and the number of new CUPS has increased several times.

This is perhaps the biggest wave of publicity since the founding of GIMPS.

A lot of people are waiting.

At the thirteenth hour mark, will there be an update on the new discovery of the Merson prime?

Ten hours, 2.5 million people online.

Twelve hours, 3.2 million online.

In 13 hours, the number of online users exceeded 5 million......

Suddenly.

The homepage of the website refreshed a red font message, "The new Mersenne prime number has been verified, and the user from China, WangHao, has a number of M8XXXXXXX." ”

The next moment, the website crashed again......
