The news of Lu Zhou winning the million-dollar Millennium Prize Problem Prize quickly spread around the world.
People were jealous of the million-dollar prize money, but what was even more amazing was that Lu Zhou had solved three of the seven Millennium Prize Problems.
That's right.
This was the third time he won this prize.
Many mathematicians were in disbelief. They didn't know how to express their feelings after hearing this news.
It was like this prize was created for him from the very beginning …
While the Internet was enthusiastically discussing the hundred-dollar prize money and what other problems would be solved by Lu Zhou, the visit team from China to France was coming to an end.
The ignition of the fusion power station in Cadarache was quite successful. With the experience of the ignition in St. Petersburg, East Asia Energy specially arranged for technicians to cooperate with the electrical engineers of the French side to install an additional insurance on the power grid before the ignition.
After this successful ignition, the Cadarache fusion core would account for 80% of the total power generation in the French power grid, completely replacing the outdated nuclear fission power generation technology.
As for how long it would take them to complete this task, that would be up to the French.
The French president sent off the group of people with a satisfactory result. They sat on a private plane back to Beijing.
The old man looked at Lu Zhou, who was still sitting on the plane and reading the notebook in his hand.
"Academician Lu really forgets to eat and sleep, he doesn't even forget to work on the plane."
Lu Zhou smiled and replied, "It's not really work, it's just a hobby."
"It's not really work, it's just a hobby."
The president asked curiously, "Is this Professor Grothendieck's notebook?"
"Yeah." Lu Zhou nodded and said, "There are some very interesting small problems inside. I've only solved four of them so far."
The president: "Even you only solved four, it must be quite difficult."
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "It's not that easy to solve."
The president nodded.
After a while, he suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, what kind of treasure is the good thing that you and Xiao Li talked about?"
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned and asked with a strange expression, "He told you everything?"
The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "I was just curious, so I asked. If it's really inconvenient, then I won't ask."
Lu Zhou: "… It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that I'm not confident."
Noticing the hesitant expression on Lu Zhou's face, the old man quickly said, "It's okay if you don't have the confidence. Who has the confidence from the beginning? Tell us and we can think of a solution together. If you need any support, just let me know. "
It would be a lie to say that Lu Zhou wasn't curious at all. After all, there were references to nuclear fusion and aerospace engineering. Everything that Lu Zhou said was good was proven to be amazing.
Now that Lu Zhou opened his mouth again and kept everyone in suspense, everyone wanted to know what kind of big news he was going to make.
Looking at the curiosity in the old man's eyes, Lu Zhou had a premonition that he probably wouldn't have the chance to study the thing in his hand along the way.
Therefore, he sighed and closed the notebook in his hand. He put on a serious expression and spoke in a serious manner.
"Let's put it this way, what do you think our country lacks the most right now?"
"Talent!"
"I'm talking about the specific technology aspect."
The old man thought for a bit and spoke.
"The specific technology aspect … It should be the information technology industry that lacks core competitiveness. Even though the Dragon series of chips has achieved some results, when I talked to the experts at the Institute of Semiconductors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they told me that we still have a long way to go. Especially in terms of high-end chip technology, we started too late. Objectively speaking, we still lack experience … "
When Lu Zhou heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
As expected, it was easiest to ask the "customer" for this kind of thing.
He already had a rough idea of what he should exchange general points for from the system.
Without any hesitation, Lu Zhou spoke.
"That's what I wanted to talk about! It just so happens to be related to the high-end chips you were talking about. "
When the old man heard Lu Zhou's words, he paused for a second.
He, he guessed it just like that?
This is too much of a coincidence.
…
Professor Grothendieck's notebook had been retrieved, but the mission completion notification didn't pop up. There must be something else that wasn't completed.
If Lu Zhou's guess was correct, the missing element should be the mathematics problem left in the notebook.
When Lu Zhou returned to his home in Jinling, he locked himself in his study room with the pile of materials sent from France. He began to study the problem in the notebook.
The difficulty was definitely there, but it wasn't to the extent that he would be deterred. Especially after chatting with Professor Helfgott, Lu Zhou suddenly felt enlightened.
This kind of inspiration did not come from an academic perspective.
It was his understanding of the notebook.
From the perspective of an extraterrestrial civilization, if they really wanted to establish contact with the Earth civilization, then the information contained in this notebook should be far more than a simple language. There must be some kind of message hidden in it that they wanted to convey.
Lu Zhou thought about the dream that Professor Abel mentioned in the diary.
Lu Zhou had a hunch that there was some kind of connection between the two.
Other than that, he also had a hunch that he was very close to the truth of everything.
Including where the system came from.
Including what the so-called Void was …
After spending half a month, Lu Zhou combined the drafts left by Professor Grothendieck and the information collected over the past decade to solve this problem. He finally solved all of the problems.
However, the final result was out of his expectations.
Unlike what he expected, the final result wasn't a series of lengthy equations. Instead, it was a simplified abstract number "n" derived from motive theory.
He looked at the long string of decimal expressions. The only thing he could prove was that it was an irrational number.
Lu Zhou looked at the lowercase "n" on the paper and frowned. He began to think.
"Do I really have to find a linguist to help?
"Wait a second …"
The pen in his hand suddenly paused.
A possibility suddenly emerged in Lu Zhou's mind.
"If they really want to talk to us and sent the message here, then they must know something about us …"
An idea suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's mind. He immediately took out his phone from his pocket, took a picture of the draft paper, and shouted.
"Xiao Ai!"
Almost at the same time, a row of bubbles appeared on the phone screen.
[What do you need, Master? (?????)??】
"Help me enter these equations into the computer and convert n to binary numbers. Keep calculating until I tell you to stop! "
With a look of excitement in his eyes, Lu Zhou continued eagerly.
"Then, read it with the decoder!"
