Chapter 116: Equations
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only 10 years left before the 80-year deadline.
In the past 70 years, Chen Yue has completed the construction of unparalleled and unprecedented giant scientific research tools and facilities, and under his leadership, more than 100,000 scientists of the Three-Eyed Clan have worked without sleep and food, promoting one breakthrough after another in the science and technology of human civilization.
Under various industrial categories and scientific disciplines, Chen Yue's knowledge has made great progress compared with the past. Now Chen Yue has even been able to build a combat spacecraft with a comprehensive performance that exceeds 40% of that of 70 years ago.
There are probably tens of thousands of industrial and scientific categories involved in a combat spaceship. If the overall performance exceeds 40%, it means that the entire civilization has made great progress.
Chen Yue already had a faint feeling that the human civilization at this moment was already standing in front of the gate of the third-level civilization. As long as this door is pushed open, the entire civilization will truly enter a new world.
Pushing open the door is as simple as it is – it may take a whimsy from a scientist to open the door with a single touch, as if it were a slide rail.
However, it is difficult to say that it is difficult. If you don't find that inspiration, if you don't have that whimsy, the door might even be like a decorative gate, just looking like a door, but behind it is a hard wall that can't be pushed open.
It is even possible for an entire civilization to stumble for hundreds, thousands of years before this door.
The most important problem is that inspiration is not under anyone's control. If you think of it, you think of it, and if you can't think of it, you can't think of killing it.
It also doesn't have any regularity, which doesn't mean that following a fixed method will increase the probability of finding it.
There is no pattern to follow.
At this moment, Chen Yue's mind presented a long equation with various numbers and symbols intertwined, extremely complicated, so complicated that ordinary people might get dizzy at a glance.
Faced with such a complex equation, even Chen Yue could only sigh.
This is an equation that Chen Yue has led the entire human civilization to struggle for dozens or hundreds of years.
It is used to describe the motion and change of certain microscopic particles in four-dimensional space-time.
Only by solving this equation can we be considered to have mastered the ability to describe the laws of particle motion. And this ability is directly related to whether a civilization is in the second or third stage.
Because Chen Yue already knew at this moment that several iconic and key technologies of the third-level civilization were directly related to this equation. For example, over-distance communication technology, energy shield technology, energy weapon technology, more advanced ion thruster technology, fusion technology, and so on.
At this moment, Chen Yue is enough to list this equation, which truly proves that human civilization has really reached the peak of second-level civilization at this moment.
It's not at the pinnacle, and you can't even list this equation.
Chen Yue is trapped at the moment and cannot solve this equation, but he clearly knows where the difficulties are and where the problems are. And if you can't even list this equation, it means that you don't even know where the difficulties are, where the problems are.
Up to this point, Chen Yue has tried millions of methods, and has gone through all the mathematical tools invented up to this moment in the development of human civilization, but he still has no clue.
Even if he mastered such an astonishing computing power, it would not be of any use. Because it's not a question of how much computing power there is at all.
It's like the Gregorian number in the concept of large numbers. Even if the entire universe is divided into microscopic particle sizes, so that each microscopic particle represents a 9, and then all the nines are arranged, it is still insignificant in front of the Gregorian constant number, close to zero.
But if he mastered the method of constructing large numbers, Chen Yue could use a "G(64)" to directly refer to the Gregorian number.
Relying on writing "9s" to try to reach the level of Gregorian constant number is a complete dream. You have to master the method, and the method is the most important thing.
At this moment, Chen Yue was looking for a way to solve this equation. But unfortunately, until this moment he has found nothing.
"The existing math tools are completely inadequate...... Faced with this equation, it's like trying to write 9 all the way and then writing it until it's bigger than the Gregorian constant number, and it's impossible to write until the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and the heat death of the universe is impossible. I need new mathematical tools, new mathematical tools to solve this equation. ”
After countless attempts to no avail, Chen Yue finally came to this conclusion.
This problem, although Odo and the other dwarves come from a real third-level civilization, they are obviously powerless. Because they are not scientists.
Even if they're scientists, they're not of much use. Because such a complex problem cannot be grasped by a single person, or by a thousand scientists. At best, they have mastered only one of the myriad branches of this scientific problem, and they know nothing about the rest.
Only by relying on yourself, can you finally find a way to solve this equation.
Chen Yue sighed and made a decision.
In human civilization, the top scientific journal "Science" published an article signed by Chen Yue on this day.
In this article, Chen Yue announced to the Three-Eyed and the Dwarves the scientific and technological breakthroughs made by human civilization during this period of time, as well as the next goals.
In particular, he focused on the equation that had plagued him for a long time, how it was listed, its significance, and what he tried to solve the equation and why it failed.
Chen Yue hopes to gather the power of all civilizations and find inspiration to solve this equation.
Every Three-Eyed Man or Dwarf knew that Chen Yue was the name of the leader of human civilization.
This article, written by Chen Yue himself, immediately attracted the attention of almost every member of human civilization. However, more than 99.99% of people immediately lost interest after a cursory scan of this article.
This article is too professional and the threshold for reading is too high. The vast majority of people simply don't understand it, and they don't even know what it's saying.
However, there are also a few professionals who are extremely interested in it. They read the whole article carefully - this is not easy, because the article is more than 100,000 words, including more than 80,000 words of description of this equation, and after trying to digest and understand, they began to try to find a way to solve this equation in their own way.
At this moment, Zhao Wei, who works at the Armor and Ballistics Research Center of the No. 7 spacecraft research base, also noticed Chen Yue's article.
