Actually, when Perelman asked why he didn't participate, Lu Zhou didn't finish his sentence.
Other than the fact that he didn't have the time, the other reason was that he wanted to leave this opportunity to other people.
In fact, when Chen Yang was halfway through writing, a complete blueprint had basically appeared in his mind. When Chen Yang completely displayed his ideas on the whiteboard, he had a basic idea of how to solve this problem.
Not that he was bragging, but ever since he reached level 10 in mathematics, his intuition for mathematics had reached an extraordinary level.
The most intuitive change brought to him by leveling up to level 10 was that no matter how abstract or complicated mathematical logic was, it was as clear as black letters on a piece of white paper in front of him. Problems that could make a few tons of hair on the heads of noob researchers were as easy as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in front of him.
However, one person's achievements alone couldn't make mathematics flourish.
Solving problems wasn't the ultimate goal of mathematics. New methods and new theories were constantly born on the problem-solving path, and it constantly delved into the essence of the universe — a law that could reveal the world in front of one's eyes.
If he solved every problem, many people would thank him or even worship him, but this might not be a good thing for the entire civilization.
Everything had its own objective law of development. Explosive growth could bring about leaps and bounds in a short period of time, but if this leap created a gap between generations, it could lead to a bottleneck in the development of mathematics.
This was why Lu Zhou spent five pages of his 40-page thesis to give a series of generalizations that he thought were likely correct, but he didn't give detailed proof steps.
Proving them should be something for future generations to figure out.
Hair that needed to be cut still needed to be cut.
Now, Lu Zhou suddenly believed that maybe when he wrote down Fermat's last theorem, Fermat really thought of a clever proof method.
As for why he didn't write it down on the spot and instead left it for Wiles three and a half centuries later …
Maybe it was because of the same feelings.
Regardless of what the reason was, Lu Zhou believed that it definitely wasn't because he didn't have enough space.
…
Ever since December, the weather in Jinling was getting colder and colder.
Lu Zhou drank a cup of hot coffee brought by his assistant. He sat at his desk and browsed through the latest developments in the international physics community. He couldn't help but feel emotional.
Over the past few years, the status of the Chinese mathematics and physics communities in the international academic community had changed with each passing day.
He thought that he should at least get half of the credit, right?
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, interrupting his thoughts.
A familiar voice floated over from there.
"Awesome! Junior Brother Lu. "
When Lu Zhou heard Luo Wenxuan calling him Junior Brother, he looked up and saw Luo Wenxuan walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"I heard that you've made some big news recently?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's alright, it's not that big of a news."
"Don't be so humble. Before I came back from Shanghai, I heard a few physicists discussing how to promote your theory to the field of particle physics. Especially string theory. When I was reading literature recently, I saw a lot of viewpoints that the unification of numbers and shapes may provide a new mathematical explanation for string theory. Apparently, someone at Stanford University is already doing it. I did some research, and it's a little interesting … Sigh, what a shame. "
Lu Zhou: "… What's a shame?"
"If it weren't for the fact that the ILHCRC took up too much of my time, I would have researched this topic." With that, a touch of sadness appeared on Luo Wenxuan's face, and he looked at Lu Zhou with resentment.
Lu Zhou had goosebumps after being stared at like that.
Fortunately, he wasn't drinking his coffee. Otherwise, he would have spat it out on his computer.
But honestly, Luo Wenxuan's complaints weren't unreasonable.
Ever since the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the ILHCRC headquarters in Shanghai, where Lu Zhou gave him the position of ILHCRC secretary-general, Luo Wenxuan had basically been stuck in Shanghai.
Even though this year was a lot quieter, thinking about it carefully, it was quite lonely without Luo Wenxuan.
Lu Zhou stared at the keyboard for a while before he suddenly spoke.
"I plan on building a physics research institute in Africa."
Luo Wenxuan stopped walking.
"… Africa?"
Lu Zhou: "Yeah."
Luo Wenxuan frowned and said, "Is there a suitable place for physics to grow there?"
"I don't know." Lu Zhou sighed and said with a melancholy expression, "But because there is no soil for physics to grow, it needs to be watered. We scientific researchers are also part of society. Isn't this responding to the strategic call of the Silk Road?"
He paused for a second and looked at Luo Wenxuan's shoulder.
"In order to make the flowers of physics bloom all over the world, in order to let the seeds of physics germinate in third-world countries, I plan on making you the dean of the third-world Academy of Physics."
In an instant, Luo Wenxuan's smile disappeared as if someone had stuffed a bitter gourd into his mouth.
"Don't, bro, if you have any complaints, just say it, I don't want to go to Africa."
Han Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh. She slammed her forehead on the table, and her shoulders kept shaking. He Changwen tried his best not to laugh, but he still accidentally knocked the pen cap on the ground. He bent over and couldn't get up.
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan and smiled. He coughed and spoke.
"I was just joking … Speaking of which, why did you come back from Shanghai?"
"The conference for the Lunar Hadron Collider is about to begin, I'm back to report on my work. The first thing I wanted to do was to see you, but you sent me to Africa, that hurts! "
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan, who was shaking his head and sighing. He smiled awkwardly.
You can't blame me.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for acting innocent after getting a bargain. You're asking for a beating.
Seeing how Lu Zhou didn't speak, Luo Wenxuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He whispered, "Opening a physics research institute in Africa, that's not true, right?"
Lu Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
Luo Wenxuan coughed and said, "Then I'll think you're joking …"
I'm just joking.
Instead of opening a physics research institute in Africa, I might as well arrange for him to be the director of a zoo.
Lu Zhou shook his head and felt sorry for Luo Wenxuan's poor sense of humor.
Even though Luo Wenxuan was a bit of a nerd, when it came to work, he was very professional.
At least so far, Lu Zhou was quite confident in Luo Wenxuan's efficiency.
The construction of the Lunar Hadron Collider was mainly handled by the Lunar Orbit Committee. As long as the ILHCRC didn't drag them down, everything would be fine.
So far, Luo Wenxuan hadn't caused him any trouble. Lu Zhou was quite satisfied with Luo Wenxuan's arrangements.
"I came back to Jinling to deal with some school matters, and I also came to report to you. There are some documents here that I need you to look at. If there are no problems, please sign them." Luo Wenxuan threw the documents on the desk and looked around. He said, "Speaking of which, where's Assistant Kong?"
"Took the day off."
"Took the day off?" Luo Wenxuan had a look of surprise on his face. He then said, "Oh, never mind then, what a shame."
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan's face and couldn't help but shake his head.
This guy still hasn't given up …
Maybe it really is true love.
Lu Zhou looked at Luo Wenxuan, and he couldn't help but want to matchmake them.
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
With Luo Wenxuan's integrity, if Lu Zhou really matchmade them, what would happen if they broke up?
Wouldn't that make me an accomplice to that scumbag?
As expected, when it comes to relationships, let nature take its course.
