Chapter 717: More Shocking News Than the Riemann Conjecture

The applause behind him was like a tidal wave.

Leaving the stage, Xu Chuan walked towards the lounge behind the scenes, ready to change into his formal clothes, and after a while, he went to the dinner party that started at half past seven.

This kind of large-scale international academic conference, NTU, or Huaguo, has never been stingy.

Demonstrating the country's economic strength, cultural level, and scientific and technological development to scholars from other countries is also an important part of the report.

After all, the more scientific researchers in a country, the better, but how to attract scientific researchers from other countries still depends on the underlying economic foundation, scientific research equipment, and culture.

At this moment, in the lounge, a familiar voice chased from behind.

"Brother."

Xu Chuan looked back and saw Liu Jiaxin, who was holding a few small cakes in one hand and a bottle of water in the other, trotting towards him.

"Night.... There will be a while at the dinner, so let's eat something to fill my stomach first~"

It seems that the pace of chasing over is a little hurried, and the senior sister is still a little wheezing when she speaks, and her fair cheeks are a little red.

She quickly handed the small cake in her hand to Xu Chuan: "The report meeting has been held for so long, you must be hungry."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the small cake and water in her hand with some surprise, this kind of trivial in daily life was probably something he had never thought of.

Accepting the small cake with a smile, Xu Chuan tore open one and sent it to his mouth, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Liu Jiaxin smiled shallowly, and gently unscrewed the water in her hand and handed it over: "Slow down, be careful of choking."

Xu Chuan took the water and poured it violently, and for the four-and-a-half-hour report meeting, although there was drinking water prepared on the stage, it was obvious that he had been busy answering questions and did not have much time to drink.

Obviously it made him a little thirstier than his stomach.

After pouring a sip of water to moisten his throat, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "By the way, there is something I need to tell you first, after this report is over, the network company needs to send some people out to help me reconstruct the architecture of the calculation model of chemical materials."

"Including you, I'm afraid I need to put down some of the work in my hands first, I need your help."

Establishing an accurate, effective, and universally applicable computational model for chemistry was the direction he decided to develop.

This is not a sudden idea, but a judgment made after careful consideration.

This road is very difficult, not only the underlying mathematical logic and theoretical foundation re-established is a very difficult work. Translating these mathematical logic and theoretical foundations into mathematical algorithms and computer code is also a difficult task.

But fortunately, he also has another partner with whom he is extremely capable in the field of computer mathematics.

Of course, the strength of the two of them alone is still far from enough, even if he also pulls in his two students, Ding Rui and Gu Bing, it is far from enough.

Therefore, it is certain that the personnel will be transferred from the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute and Chuanhai Network Technology Co., Ltd.

If this is not enough, he will draw some more people from the Xinghai Research Institute in the future.

"Hmm."

On the other side, Liu Jiaxin nodded and agreed softly. Regarding Xu Chuan's arrangement, she is probably the one who has no opinion.

Glancing at the senior sister, Xu Chuan sighed lightly and said, "I'm going to work hard for you again this time."

Writing the underlying mathematical algorithms and computer code for a new chemical material model is largely incapable of doing so with his computing power.

Although I have learned some modeling and computer science in my previous life, it is only a superficial taste.

When he was at NTU, writing the mathematical model of tungsten diselenide with her for her mentor Chen Zhengping was almost his limit.

The underlying algorithms and computer code of the chemical material model are a thousand times more complex than that.

In the entire Chuanhai Network Technology Co., Ltd., there is the ability to process core algorithms, even if

With the guidance of this senior sister, there are only a handful.

The heaviest and most tedious work probably has to fall on her head.

Liu Jiaxin smiled gracefully: "It's nothing, this is the direction I'm interested in."

Xu Chuan nodded, and didn't continue on this, but said, "It's just right, take advantage of this time to deal with the calculation model of chemical materials, and also take Jiaying over."

"Last year, I said that she would first follow Academician Zhang Weiping to lay the foundation, but now more than a year has passed, and I don't know what the situation is on her side."

"No matter what aspect of math she takes in the future, with the two of us here, she can basically teach some of it."

Speaking of Liu Jiaying, the senior sister also had a gentle smile on her face: "I hope she can also go out of her own direction on the road of academics."

.......

In the evening, in the spacious banquet hall of Xianlin University Hall, many mathematicians and computer scientists from all over the world walked through the hall with champagne, looking for their own goals to talk or communicate.

Xu Chuan and Liu Jiaxin, who are giving presentations in the auditorium today, are undoubtedly the focus of the audience, and almost all scholars in their respective fields are focused on the two of them.

Even to some extent, Liu Jiaxin's popularity is even higher than that of Xu Chuan.

Not only scholars in the field of computer science have focused on her, but many scholars from all over the world have also handed the young female mathematician their business cards, trying to pull the young mathematician into their own countries and universities.

A twenty-six-year-old female mathematician who has solved the core conjecture of the millennial puzzle, there is no doubt that she will have a place in the next Fields Medal.

In addition, there were many relatively young scholars who secretly cast stares at her at the banquet.

In the banquet hall, Édouard Witten and Pierre de Ligné walked together, and the two looked around the banquet hall with a glass of champagne, and walked through the crowd to find Xu Chuan.

"Congratulations, in Riemann guess, this majestic peak is a big step closer to the summit!"

The two raised the champagne in their hands, smiled and gently touched the wall of the glass with Xu Chuan, and took a sip of congratulations.

The student in front of them is the best of all the students they have taken in their lives.

Although the two are still active in academia, they will go to Princeton to attend classes, and it is likely that they will continue to recruit students.

But both Witten and Deligne knew very well that in the days to come, it would be impossible to find another student who was as good as this student.

"Thank you."

Xu Chuan smiled, accepted the congratulations calmly, raised his glass and touched the two mentors.

After saying hello, Edward Witten asked with some curiosity, "Speaking of which, I have a question, why do you study the continuity of the Riemannian function and the correspondence between the eigenvalues of random Ermi matrices in physics. Even if Professor Montgomery had speculated in this regard, I don't think it would be enough to continue with the Riemann hypothesis, right?"

At the report meeting, Tao Zhexuan's questions were also the points he didn't pay much attention to.

It wasn't until the question session that Witten noticed that in the proof paper of the weak Riemann conjecture, if you chase it carefully, there is still a faint connection with physics.

At this moment, Tao Zhexuan, who was being watched by Witten, also walked over, and after saying hello to the three of them with a smile, he participated.

Among the four, Xu Chuan smiled, looked at Tao Zhexuan, and said, "Speaking of which, it still has something to do with Professor Tao."

"Me?"

Beside him, Tao Zhexuan looked over curiously.

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile, "Do you remember last year's National Congress of Mathematicians?"

"Of course."

Tao Zhexuan nodded a little uncertainly, how could he forget last year's International Congress of Mathematicians.

Xu Chuan glanced at the crowd not far away, and said with a sigh of relief, "Do you remember Professor Perelman?"

Hearing this, Tao Zhexuan seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly condensed, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Before last year's International Congress of Mathematicians, he, Xu Chuan, and Schultz had gone together to find Perelman, who lived in seclusion on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.

Of course, to be precise, he and Schultz followed Xu Chuan's visit.

But that's not the point, the point is that in that dilapidated little villa, a few people used to talk about a mathematical topic!

Einstein Rosen Bridge!

Looking up at Xu Chuan in disbelief, Tao Zhexuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then asked in an excited and trembling voice.

"Don't tell me you have research on that issue? Or some progress?"

If someone else had talked about it, he wouldn't have been so excited.

Einstein Rosen Bridge, the legend has it that you can travel through time and space to distant universes, and even a tunnel that may connect parallel universes.

This kind of 'fantasy theory', which can almost only be seen in science fiction and science fiction movies, if someone says that it can be done in the 21st century, Tao Zhexuan will probably turn around and go directly.

Fooling fools is not like that.

But what if it's the one in front of you?

I have to say that there are too many miracles he has created alone.

It was outrageous to the fantasy theory of Einstein-Rosen's Bridge, and he didn't think it was entirely impossible.

Xu Chuan shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately, no."

After a slight pause, he continued, "But to some extent, the research idea of the weak Riemann conjecture was obtained from the study of that problem."

"Wait.....

At this moment, Witten couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two and asked curiously, "What is the problem you are talking about?"

Tao Zhexuan came back to his senses and explained with a long sigh of relief.

"Before the start of last year's International Congress of Mathematicians, Professor Xu and I visited Professor Perelman, along with Schultz."

"And at that time, Xu went with a question, and that question is the one I am talking about now, and I remember that Professor Witten also participated in the discussion later."

"Einstein Rosen Bridge?"

Hearing Tao Zhexuan say this, Witten reacted quickly, and opened his mouth in disbelief to add the name of the question.

He naturally participated in last year's International Congress of Mathematicians, and he had also communicated with Xu Chuan about this problem, and after Tao Zhexuan reminded him, he immediately reacted.

Deligne, who had never participated in the exchange, was stunned for a moment after hearing the name from his friend Witten.

After reacting to what he said, his breath couldn't help but shortened for two minutes. Even if he was a pure mathematician, he knew about such a famous thing.

Einstein Rosen Bridge!

Space-time wormholes in physics! A narrow tunnel that connects two different space-times that may exist in the universe, a space-time bridge that is said to allow for faster-than-light travel.

He never imagined that someone would already be working on this in the 21st century. And he was the student he knew best!

On the side, Witten took a deep breath, suppressed the heartbeat that had begun to jump wildly, and couldn't wait to look at Xu Chuan and ask, "Are you still studying it?" Has there been progress?"

When the words fell, Tao Zhexuan and Deligne's eyes also fell on Xu Chuan, their eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "If you want to talk about the progress of real-time, it will disappoint you. I can't find any substantive progress on this issue at the moment."

Hearing this, Witten and Deligne both had a trace of regret and sigh in their eyes.

If there is any progress on this issue, it will definitely be a discovery that will shock the whole world! No less than a magnitude 12 earthquake in academia.

In front of it, the Riemann conjecture was nothing

, and even the entire Seven Millennium Problems add up to nothing in front of it.

On the side, looking at Xu Chuan, who had a calm face, Tao Zhexuan frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Suddenly, he looked up at Xu Chuan and asked tentatively with a little excitement, "But you must have made progress in your research, right?!" The advance of the weak Riemann conjecture, I guess it is not all you have studied on this subject!"

"At least theoretically, I think you should have a certain direction and ideas?!"

Hearing this, the eyes of Witten and Deligne on the side instantly brightened, and they looked at Xu Chuan expectantly.

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "If it's pure theories and speculations, I do have some, but I can't guarantee whether he's right or not."

After a slight pause, he looked at Edward Witten and continued, "From my research and speculation, it may have some relationship with prime numbers."

"Prime numbers?" Hearing this, Witten was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly and looked at Xu Chuan in surprise: "Will it have a relationship with physical space-time?"

A prime number, also known as a prime number, is an integer that is greater than it and cannot be divisible by any positive integer other than itself.

The study of the distribution law of prime numbers is one of the important topics in number theory.

The Riemann conjecture has a significant relationship with prime numbers, and it involves the distribution of prime numbers.

In addition, Goldbach's conjecture, twin prime conjecture, Mersenne prime distribution, prime theorem, etc., are also very related to prime numbers, or directly study its problems and theorems.

But for mathematics, the study of prime numbers can be said to be the purest field of mathematics.

If other fields of mathematics, such as calculus, differential equations, and analytic geometry, are linked to other disciplines, then the only field in which prime numbers have a relatively wide range of applications is cryptography in computer science.

At present, prime numbers play a central role in both RSA encryption algorithms and hash functions, and are also an important core foundation for the development of contemporary computer cryptography.

But in any case, prime numbers are the classification that is the furthest from the application of mathematical classification.

And now, someone told him that prime numbers may involve the distribution of time and space in the universe and Einstein Rosen's bridge?

This sounds strange, surprising, and unbelievable.

At the same time, on the side, the crowd of onlookers who didn't know when they came over had already discussed it at the moment.

No one thought that at the report meeting of the weak Riemann conjecture, a more astonishing news than the Riemann conjecture would be exposed!

"Could primes have anything to do with space-time holes? How is this possible?"

"Why can't it? The only truth in mathematics is that it conforms to some form of logical derivation, and any characteristic thing or natural law that can be described in words must be explained by mathematics. If the space-time hole really exists, it must be able to be described by mathematical formulas!"

"It's unbelievable that prime numbers can be connected to the Einstein Rosen Bridge, it's unbelievable!"

"It's just speculation, isn't it? How is it possible for prime numbers to be connected to time and space?"

"But this is what Professor Xu said himself!"

"But he also said that it was just speculation, and Professor Xu also said that he could not guarantee whether this speculation was correct or not."

"I'm more willing to believe him, even if it's just a speculation, as he is at the top of the mathematical world, he must have discovered something to make such a judgment!"

"And this kind of speculation is not unavoidable as a research direction, isn't it? If it were true, it would be absolutely significant for the development of science!"
