Chapter 1 Appreciated by academicians, help Ye Fei
The work of the supercomputing center is over, and Ye Fei looks at the system.
[Mission: None.]
Stamina: 150
IQ: 129
Function: Integration: Lv0 (0/100)
Level: 0
Credits: 360】
"Other people's system points are hundreds of points in a few days, but in my case, a year and a half has passed, and I have only gained 360 points." Ye Fei smiled bitterly: "It's so difficult!" ”
The first task is to publish a CSCDA paper and get 5 points.
The second task is the singular cardinality, which earns 100 points.
The third mission is the Minimity Tower, which earns 100 points.
The fourth quest is Turing equivalence, which earns 100 points.
The fifth task is to teach the graph calculation method creation method and get 5 points.
The sixth task is to create a supercomputing math algorithm and get 50 points.
Ye Fei didn't think about upgrading, after all, 360 points can make the integration of functions get 36 points.
Even if you increase by 36 points, you can't level up, so wait until you accumulate 1,000 points to level up.
"What's next?"
After Ye Fei thought about it, he set up a task.
[Mission: Prove Continuum (0%)
Details: Continuum HypothesisThe last problem, finding the continuum potential, can prove the continuum hypothesis
Reward: 200 points]
"200 points?" Ye Fei was a little stunned, but thought about it: "Yes, after all, the continuum potential is the most important problem of the continuum hypothesis, and finding the continuum potential will solve the ultimate problem of the continuum hypothesis, and it will prove that all the barriers of the continuum hypothesis are through." ”
At noon, Ye Fei had a casual meal with the researchers of the 111 base.
They knew that Ye Fei was leaving, and they were a little reluctant to Ye Fei.
After getting along for so long, they admired Ye Fei's talent.
But there is no feast in the world, and after lunch, Ye Fei said goodbye to them one by one.
Standing at the door of the supercomputing center, looking at the supercomputing center, Ye Fei was very emotional.
It was the first time he had led a group of people in technical work, and it might have happened more often in the future, but the first time was always precious.
"What do you think?" At this moment, there was a light laugh.
Ye Fei turned his head to look at it and said with a smile: "Academician Liu, you haven't left yet?" ”
Academician Liu smiled: "This is not waiting for you. ”
"Wait for me?" Ye Fei was stunned.
Academician Liu nodded and said, "Come with me!" ”
"Good!"
The two followed the road and wandered around Zhonghu University.
It was around two o'clock in the afternoon in mid-July, the school had already closed, and there were not many students on campus.
Those who stayed were either undergraduates who worked in the summer to do summer jobs, or master's and doctoral students who did research and didn't have time to go home.
The sun was very strong, and the two of them were sweating after walking a few steps.
When passing by the commissary, Ye Fei bought two bottles of ice water, and the two of them were much more comfortable.
Academician Liu smiled bitterly: "I really shouldn't have proposed to visit the campus at this time.
He pointed to the gazebo not far away and said, "Let's go, go and sit there!" ”
"Good!" Ye Feidao.
After sitting down in the pavilion, Academician Liu asked, "Have you been working on any topics recently?" ”
Ye Fei said: "I'm going to study the continuum situation. ”
"Continuum?" Academician Liu asked, "Is it Hilbert's first problem, the problem of the continuum hypothesis?" ”
"Hmm!" Ye Fei nodded.
"How did you come up with the idea to study this?" Academician Liu was puzzled: "Although this problem is very famous, few scholars study it, and there are no more than 1,000 people in China who study set theory, and no more than 30 people who can study it well." ”
"Do you know why?"
Ye Fei nodded and said: "Of course I know, because it has little effect, it is not very useful, it is difficult to win some awards, unless several ultimate problems of this problem are solved, it is possible to win." ”
"Yes!" Professor Liu nodded: "People are practical, and now there are very few people who are not practical. ”
"It's the same with academics, and having them work on a problem that doesn't have much effect is a drain of time and energy."
Ye Fei smiled: "But there are always people who want to seek that far away!" ”
Academician Liu said: "Of course, it is a very good foundation problem, if you study it thoroughly, your foundation will be very good." ”
"But ......"
"Ye Fei, with your talent, you shouldn't put your energy on such a problem, proving the continuum hypothesis can make you famous, but you won't get much practical benefit."
"You should focus on the eight conjectures."
"Of course, it's not for you to prove the eight conjectures, but for many conjectures that extend from the eight conjectures."
"Pick out some conjectures that are useful for mathematics."
Ye Fei nodded: "I will, but people must always start and finish well, and when this problem is proven, I will study number theory." ”
Number theory?
Hearing Ye Fei's words, Academician Liu almost pinched the ice water in his hand.
Let you study something of practical significance, you are better to study number theory.
The biggest pit in the mathematical world, led by number theory.
Why?
Prime numbers in number theory are one of the biggest pitfalls.
Like what twin primes, Mersenne primes, Euseni primes, minimum interval of prime numbers and maximum interval of prime numbers.
All belong to the category of prime numbers, which is also a world problem.
In addition to prime numbers, there are also Goldbach conjectures and Riemann conjectures, especially Goldbach's conjecture, which is known as one of the three major conjectures in the world.
If prime numbers are the biggest pitfalls, then these two problems are the god pits.
Prime numbers make you go in and can't get out, and these two problems are that you want to die if you go in.
Do you want to get in and can't get out, or do you want to die if you go in?
It's all in your thoughts.
Of course, number theory is a pitfall because it's hard.
But number theory is also the easiest field to gain status, fame, and awards.
A random conjecture in it can make you famous all over the world.
If the Goldbach conjecture and the Riemann conjecture can be solved, either of these two problems can be solved.
The award is soft, and the Fields Medal chases you and gives you the award.
"Where are you going to start with primes?" Academician Liu asked.
"Let's talk about it then, maybe it's prime, maybe it's some conjecture, such as the Kakutani conjecture, the ABC conjecture, the Zhou conjecture, the Beal conjecture, and the list dyeing conjecture."
Academician Liu exhaled in his heart, fortunately, this kid still knows how to measure and didn't start with the Eight Great Conjectures.
If any young man dares to tell him that he is ready to attack the Eight Great Conjectures, Academician Liu wants to shoot this person who does not know the height of the sky.
The world of mathematics has the most geniuses in the world, and they all want to prove the eight conjectures.
But for hundreds of years, only one conjecture has proven successful.
From this, we can see the difficulty of the eight conjectures.
No one can guarantee that they can prove the eight conjectures, and they think in their hearts, but they are powerless.
Young people in the mathematics world should not think about proving the eight conjectures, it is simply a fool's dream.
Academician Liu said: "Since you want to prove the continuum hypothesis, then I will help you." ”
After such a long period of contact with Ye Fei, Academician Liu admired Ye Fei very much, and in him, he saw Ye Fei's talent and potential.
He didn't want Ye Fei to continue to study the continuum hypothesis, the famous and useless problem.
Instead, we should focus our efforts on what is more useful.
"Can you help me?" Ye Fei was puzzled: "How can you help me?" ”
"I'll find someone who also works on the continuum hypothesis problem for you."
"Research with me?" Ye Fei asked.
"It's not." Academician Liu shook his head and said: "This person is also studying the problem of continuous unification, but he has already achieved certain results, but when he encounters a problem, he stops." ”
"You can learn from his research, and you can save a lot of time, and maybe you can generate some ideas from his research and then prove the continuum."
Ye Fei's eyes lit up, this was a very good idea.
But then he said with some embarrassment: "This is not good, after all, it is someone else's research." ”
"What's this?" Academician Liu said with a smile: "Some of the information is public, and you can learn from it." ”
"Besides, that man doesn't mind his continuum hypothesis research being taken for study, and many of his students and colleagues have seen his research."
When Ye Fei heard this, he was relieved, since so many people had seen it, it was not much of a problem to have one more of him.
Ye Fei smiled: "Thank you, Professor Liu!" ”
"Nothing." Academician Liu smiled: "Let's leave a contact information, and I'll tell you after I get in touch." ”
"Hmm!"
After the two left each other's contact information, they chatted for another hour or so, and then separated.
