More and more people were alerted.
There was already a sea of people at the scene. A large number of mathematicians, tourists, and media reporters had rushed over upon hearing the news. Wave after wave of people swarmed over like they were going to a market.
"Where is he?"
"What's the progress?"
"Which of our country's mathematicians is it?"
"What the heck! Why is it him? "
"Yeah, oh my god, why is it him!"
Every batch of people who did not know about the news had the same reaction when they saw the young figure surrounded by mathematicians. Other than disbelief, there was still disbelief. Some mathematicians who did not care about worldly affairs might not be too familiar with Zhang Ye, but for those reporters who dealt with the news every day, how could they not know about Zhang Ye's notoriety? But at this moment, they could not care about anything else, nor did they care about how Zhang Ye understood mathematics. At this moment, Dale's Conjecture was the most important problem!
It had already taken a big step forward!
Could there be another major breakthrough today?
At this moment, the last key person arrived. It was Fellow Wan from the Chinese Academy of Sciences!
"Elder Wan."
"Fellow Wan."
"Teacher, you're here!"
The Chinese mathematicians immediately gathered together.
Academician Wan did not care who was solving the problem. Instead, he went straight to the point. He discussed with Professor Qu, Professor Rong, and the others. They pointed at the whiteboard, talked, and drew. Mathematicians from different fields offered their own opinions and analyses.
"Are you sure?" Elder Rong asked.
Fellow Wan was very excited, "I'm very sure!"
Professor Qu turned and asked, "Professor Yan, what about yours?"
That professor was also very excited and said, "I've analyzed it for a long time. In theory, it's definitely possible. The direction of this person's proof is not wrong!"
Elder Rong said loudly, "Good!"
After so many experts had held a meeting to discuss the matter, they were finally convinced that Zhang Ye had not only advanced Dale's Conjecture by a huge step, but also that the direction of his research was actually feasible. Although it might not be proven, at least it was possible in theory. That was to say, this ridiculously young mathematician was on his way to solving Dale's Conjecture, and with every step he took, he was rewriting the history of Dale's Conjecture and pushing forward the progress of the conjecture. This was something that made everyone rejoice!
Elder Rong said with a sigh, "To be able to live to see Dale's Conjecture proven to this stage, this old man has no regrets left."
Wang Yiming quickly said, "Elder Rong, you're still young."
Professor Qu smiled and said, "If this young man can solve the conjecture and turn Dale's Conjecture into a theorem, that would be even better. There would be no regrets then."
"It's easier said than done," a professor said.
When Fellow Wan heard this, he said, "If it's really completely solved, it will be a feast for the international mathematics community. Our country will become famous in the field of mathematics." At this moment, Academician Wan finally remembered to pay attention to this person. He said inexplicably, "Where did you find such a young mathematician? Whose student? Why does he look so unfamiliar to me? I've never seen him before. "
Elder Rong laughed. "You're a stranger, because that kid isn't even a mathematician. Old Wan, I can guarantee that you won't be able to guess what this person does for a living! Hahaha! When our group of people came over just now, we were also stunned! "
…
Time passed quickly.
Yes, but it also passed very slowly.
Some of the mathematicians who could understand what Zhang Ye was writing were already engrossed in it. They were mumbling to themselves as they stared at the whiteboards. Time seemed to pass by in a flash, and it was hard to tell what time it was. In fact, from the time Zhang Ye started his proof till now, a full five hours had passed.
The 28th whiteboard …
The 29th whiteboard …
In the blink of an eye, the 30th whiteboard was filled with a huge number and formula!
Zhang Ye's proof method was also getting clearer and clearer. It was presented to all the mathematicians and the media cameras without missing a single detail.
He continued to attack the simplified conjecture from before and came up with a proposition: Assuming that Dale's Conjecture is not true, that is, there exists a set of non-zero integers A, B, and C such that A to the nth power + B to the nth power = C to the nth power (n2). Then using this set of numbers to construct an elliptic curve in the form of y squared = x (x + A to the nth power) times (xB to the nth power) cannot be a modular curve. If he could prove these two propositions at the same time, then he could prove that Dale's Conjecture was not true by using the method of reductio ad absurdum. This hypothesis was wrong, which would then prove Dale's Conjecture.
The progress was very fast!
The direction was becoming more and more certain!
Some of the Chinese mathematicians could not help but applaud!
"Well done!"
"This step was solved in a really wonderful way!"
"Another hurdle has been cleared! Another hurdle has been cleared! "
"This person is really capable!"
At this time, even the foreign mathematicians were starting to believe that this young Chinese man might really have a chance of solving Dale's Conjecture. Just thinking about it made them shudder with fear. In such an occasion and with such a person, it was really too unbelievable!
Fellow Wan could not sit still any longer, "Let's go. Let's not just sit around and do some verification."
"There's not enough time, there's such a large amount of calculations....." A professor said.
Elder Rong said, "There's no need for a complete verification. Let's just do a simple verification. Let's go through it briefly and confirm that there are no major flaws. We can discuss the rest of the detailed verification later!"
The manpower and equipment were all here. Many of the Chinese mathematicians immediately got to work and started verifying Zhang Ye's question boards from scratch. With the computer equipment and so many authoritative experts in the field of mathematics, the amount of work required for a simple verification was much smaller.
When a few of the foreign mathematicians saw this, some of them volunteered to join the Chinese verification team to witness this great moment in the mathematics world!
The progress was very fast!
Elder Rong said, "Formula (1), passed!"
A young mathematician said, "C function equation, correct!"
A disciple of Fellow Wan was also scribbling on his notebook at lightning speed. Soon after, he looked up and said, "Logical calculation, reverse inference, established!"
Xin Ya also joined in. "Passed!"
Han Henian was operating the computer. "That's right!"
"Established!"
"Established!"
One by one, the voices rang out.
Every time it rang out, everyone got excited. This was because in the field of mathematics, there were a lot of formulas that could be easily verified, but they might not necessarily be correct. This was also the reason why many conjectures required a long period of time to be proven after they were solved. This was because there were some hidden errors and loopholes that could cause a formula to fail. Once there was a problem, then all the remaining proofs of the conjecture would not be valid. No matter how beautiful the proofs were, it would be useless. Mathematics needed to be rigorous and rigorous, so many people were afraid that Zhang Ye would have a loophole in his solution. If that happened, then the results would not be valid anymore.
The Chinese people were naturally worried about this. They were afraid that Zhang Ye would fail on the verge of success!
Some of the foreign mathematicians, like Louis and David from the United States, would rather see this happen. They were actually hoping that this person would make a mistake.
But what shocked everyone was that this person's brain was like the most sophisticated computer in the world. It was rigorous, precise, and without any mistakes!
Everyone's verification was very fast and they were almost catching up to Zhang Ye's progress.
Suddenly, another blackboard was filled up by Zhang Ye. He stopped writing and looked at the remaining 11 blank whiteboards, but did not move.
"Eh?"
"You're not writing anymore?"
"What's the matter?"
"Have you run out of ideas?"
"That's it?"
Elder Rong, Fellow Wan, Professor Qu, and the others all had a slight change in expression. They all felt a little regretful, but they knew that this kind of thing could not be forced. What kind of conjecture was that? This was Dale's Conjecture they were talking about. For this young man to be able to solve it to this point, it was already enough to shake the entire mathematics world. They couldn't ask for too much.
Xin Ya was a little anxious and asked, "Teacher Zhang?"
A female English mathematician looked at Zhang Ye with a look of admiration and surprise. She got the translator to help her say, "You've already done something that no one else has been able to do!"
Some of the mathematicians sighed. Indeed, they still could not solve it.
Some of the reporters also hurriedly took the final shots, knowing that this might be the end.
But at this moment, Zhang Ye said something that stunned everyone. He patted his little fan, Huang Lingling, on the shoulder and said, "Out of the remaining whiteboards, which one do you like?"
Huang Lingling blinked in a daze, "Ah?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Help me choose one."
"Uh, then … then this one." Huang Lingling did not know what he meant and just pointed to the second whiteboard.
Zhang Ye nodded and walked over to pull the whiteboard over.
Her younger brother, Huang Leilei, subconsciously asked, "Then what about the others?"
Zhang Ye had already started writing on the whiteboard and said, "The others? You can all leave now! "
Han Henian exclaimed, "Leave now?"
Wang Yiming was startled, "What do you mean?"
Xin Ya also hurriedly asked, "Teacher Zhang, you mean …"
Everyone understood the underlying meaning of these words. Then, it set off an uproar. The regretful atmosphere from before was ignited once again!
Professor Qu said in surprise, "It's not that he can't solve it! He … he's already done with it!? "
At this critical moment, Fellow Wan could no longer hold back his trembling hands. "There's only one whiteboard left?"
Elder Rong gasped, "He's really proven it?"
After the uproar, everyone became quiet again. It was as if time had stopped. The only sound that could be heard was the scratching sound of the pens rubbing against the blackboard!
One minute!
Five minutes!
Ten minutes!
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhang Ye's hand danced on the whiteboard. Suddenly, with a twist of his wrist, he paused for a moment and then wrote down the last few strokes.
As such, Dale's Conjecture was established!
The proof was complete.
— Zhang Ye.
In this second, everyone at the venue was in an uproar!
