It looked familiar!
The more he looked at it, the more familiar it looked!
Ignoring the rowdy crowd and their discussions, Zhang Ye retreated a distance away and found a place where no one was around to sit down. He quietly opened the game interface and bought a "Memory Search Capsule" from the Merchant Shop. Without any hesitation, he ate it on the spot. His eyes lost focus and he immediately sank into his memories.
......
Another world.
It was back in high school.
In the past, Friday afternoons were the school holidays, but due to a request from the Ministry of Education, Friday afternoons were turned into interest classes in the latter half of the year. Every student had to sign up for a class. Zhang Ye had wanted to sign up for an art class at that time as it was more leisurely, but everyone else had the same thought. As a result, the class was already full and he could only choose a math class. The classes were not about the exam, but about expanding one's knowledge.
"This is Fermat's Conjecture, one of the three major mathematical conjectures in the world. After more than 300 years of history, it was finally proven in 1995. Hence, it is no longer called a conjecture, but Fermat's Theorem."
"Teacher, can you explain it to us in detail?"
"Hur hur, I have some information here that explains it in detail. I will put it up on the projector so that everyone can have a look. Actually, even if I explain it to you, you won't understand it. Yes, I don't have the ability to explain it either. The derivation process of this theorem is extremely complicated and my knowledge is limited as well."
"Wow."
"It's even in English and Chinese?"
"How profound! That's amazing!"
"Eh? You understand it? "
"Uh, I don't understand it at all!"
......
He came back and opened his eyes.
Zhang Ye's previously confused eyes were now extremely clear. He was wondering why it felt so familiar. Dale's Conjecture, Asus' Conjecture, or IBM's Conjecture! Wasn't it just a different name!? Because the person who proposed this conjecture in this world was called Dale, the name of the conjecture was also called Dale's Conjecture. However, the content of the conjecture had nothing to do with the name. This Dale's Conjecture was exactly the same as his previous world's Fermat's Conjecture!
It was exactly the same thing!
The content of the conjecture was the same!
The only difference was that in this world, this conjecture had not been solved by the world's mathematicians and had only been proposed a few decades ago. But in Zhang Ye's previous world, this world's mathematical conjecture had already been solved. Fermat's Conjecture, Four Color Conjecture, and Goldbach's Conjecture were known as the three major mathematical conjectures!
Zhang Ye looked over at the American mathematicians.
A mathematician named Louis was resting with his eyes closed.
Another young mathematician named David ran to the French booth and chatted passionately with a female French mathematician, as if he was picking up a girl.
As for the young contestants from the United States who had won the championship, they were all proud and beaming with joy.
Zhang Ye sneered.
Dale's conjecture? Just so-so!
He picked up his cell phone and found Wu Zeqing's name. He sent her a message: "Old Wu."
Wu Zeqing, who was very far away, had her back facing him. She seemed to be looking at the jade thumb ring and did not respond. It was probably because there were too many people and it was too noisy, so she did not hear it.
Zhang Ye made a call and hung up after a few rings.
When he saw it, Wu Zeqing finally noticed the cell phone and picked it up.
After a while, the other side replied, "Okay."
Zhang Ye replied: You like that jade thumb ring?
Wu Zeqing: "Hur Hur, I guess so."
Zhang Ye: "That means you like it very much."
Wu Zeqing: "They won't sell it. Even if they did, Big Sis wouldn't be able to afford it. This should be an old item from the palace. It's worth a lot."
When Zhang Ye saw it, he replied: "Good!
Wu Zeqing:?
Old Wu clearly did not understand what he meant.
But Zhang Ye did not reply. He put away his cell phone and squeezed through the crowd.
...
At the venue.
As the leader, Wang Yiming had already walked up to the Americans' booth. Xin Ya and Han Henian were also behind him. They were giving the American mathematicians a stern protest in English.
Wang Yiming said, "Why did they have to use an item from our country as the prize?"
The American team leader, mathematician Louis, looked at him. Clearly, they knew each other and were not strangers to each other. "Woof, this belongs to us."
Wang Yiming said, "Can I take that as a provocation?"
“NONONO。” Louis said, "This item is the legacy of a teacher from our Mathematics Association. Before he passed away, he donated some of his belongings to the association for the promotion and research of mathematics. I do not know the origins of this item, but it does not belong to you now. The ownership belongs to us and we have the right to use it. We do not have any ulterior motives, so please do not misunderstand."
Xin Ya said, "But you've already caused us to misunderstand!"
David, who was flirting with a girl, came back. "What happened?"
Wang Yiming pointed to the question board. "Change to another question. Let's have a fair competition in the field of mathematics."
“NO。” Louis wagged his finger. "This is our question. Woof, we have been researching Dale's Conjecture all this while and also wanted to use this world's mathematical problem to communicate with the mathematicians of the other countries. Is there a problem with that? There's nothing unfair about it. Also, the competition has already ended and our team has obtained the final victory. That is the result of the competition and there is no other competition. "
David also threw up his hands and smiled. "It's a pity."
They had lost the competition and could not get back at the exchange event. They even had to let the Americans use an item that they had stolen from their country as a prize. This made the Chinese mathematicians very angry!
Many of the park visitors heard it, especially some of the younger people. Their English was quite good.
"His sister!"
"He's too cocky!"
"What's so cocky about it!"
"Pui!"
Many of the park visitors started cursing.
When the young David saw this, he actually did not understand what everyone was saying. He squeezed out a handsome smile and waved at the crowd. He even blew a kiss to a female park visitor who had high hip bones. He was very frivolous, but his entire being exuded a strong sense of confidence.
Everyone was even angrier when they saw this!
In a corner.
The young contestants of China were all gathered together.
"Sis, don't cry." Huang Leilei was also very upset when he saw his sister sad. He kept pulling his sister's arm from the side.
"Captain."
"Captain, it's really not your fault."
The other children were also comforting her. Huang Lingling had been taking care of them like a big sister for the past six months. Everyone liked her and did not want to see her sad.
However, Huang Lingling was clearly a stubborn girl. She was the captain of the Chinese team for this year's International Math Olympiad. She was chosen from thousands of high schools and millions of students to represent them. Not only did she represent herself, she represented her school, and she was also representing her country in the competition. As the captain, she had repeatedly made mistakes on several key questions. This made her extremely regretful. She even thought that it would have been better if she had not participated in the competition. If someone else had taken her place, their results might have been even better. It was all her fault. She had let down the trust of the teachers and professors. Looking at the professors who were ignoring them, Huang Lingling's heart twisted. She knew that the teachers were completely disappointed in them.
It's all my fault!
It's all my fault!
Huang Lingling bit her lip and did not say a word. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the American team's whiteboard. Her gaze became more and more determined. She immediately took a step forward.
Huang Leilei was stunned. "Sis, what are you doing?"
The other team members also ran over to follow her. "Captain?"
Very quickly, the others also noticed Huang Lingling's strange actions. They looked over in confusion, not knowing what she was trying to do.
Louis looked at the little girl strangely. "Huh?"
The next second, Huang Lingling picked up the pen she had used during the competition and stood in front of the American team's whiteboard with clenched teeth. She looked at the Math Olympiad question and stubbornly picked up the pen to answer the question on the blank whiteboard beside her. After writing down a formula, she clenched her teeth and clumsily wiped it off with her hand. Then she started writing again. She kept writing and stopping, but it was all a mess. With her level, of course she would not be able to solve a math problem like this. Not only her, even her teacher's teacher's teacher would not be able to solve this problem!
Only then did everyone understand that this little girl was trying to solve Dale's Conjecture to make up for her mistakes in the competition. For honor? Or... for pride?
At this moment, many of the park visitors were moved!
Even Zhang Ye stopped in his tracks as he walked up to the whiteboard. He took a deep look at the stubborn girl.
The mathematicians and contestants from the other countries all looked over. Some of them were stunned, some were speechless, and some had mocking looks on their faces.
The American mathematician, David, kept shaking his head as he mumbled something in English that no one could understand. In any case, it was definitely not something good.
An American contestant glanced at Huang Lingling. "What is she doing?"
"I don't know." Another American girl said sarcastically, "Who does she think she is to solve a problem that even the world's mathematicians have been researching for decades?"
"A clown!" an American teenager said.
Some of the kids on the U.S. team laughed.
A teenager from the British team kindly said to her in English, "Don't write anymore. You won't be able to solve it. Your mistake in the previous round was just an accident. You'll get better next time."
A French girl also said, "Yeah, you're great."
But Huang Lingling did not seem to hear them. She was still trying her best to solve the problem, scribbling and scribbling.
Wu Zeqing sighed.
The park visitors could not bear to watch any longer.
"Good child, don't write anymore!"
"You can't be blamed for losing the competition. It's not your fault!"
"Child, you're all the pride of our country. Don't blame yourself. It's fine, it's really fine!"
Hearing everyone's words, Huang Lingling's eyes turned red again. Her tears were dripping into her mouth, but she did not wipe them away. She was still trying her best to solve the problem on the whiteboard.
Huang Leilei clenched his fists and also went forward. "Big Sis, let me help you!"
"Me too!" A teenager from the Chinese team also picked up a pen.
"Captain, us too! Let's all do the math together! " The Chinese team members were all standing beside Huang Lingling. Some of them were only in their early teens, while others were not even 1.4 meters tall. Holding a pen, they had to stand on their tiptoes just to reach the whiteboard in front of them.
In front of this world-class Math problem, they seemed so tiny.
