"… Recently, the Mars landing office encountered a sudden sandstorm during a scientific expedition to Mars, causing a researcher to lose contact during the mission.
"After learning of the situation, the ground command center immediately organized rescue work, using a variety of equipment, including low-Earth orbit optical observation systems and unmanned reconnaissance vehicles, to carry out emergency rescue work for the missing personnel.
"The entire rescue work took five hours and twenty-seven minutes, and the missing personnel was successfully rescued.
"According to the person in charge of the Mars scientific research base, the researcher entered a nearby mountain area to avoid the sandstorm. Due to the special landform and geographical environment of Mars, the electromagnetic wave signal attenuation coefficient is relatively large, causing a great impact on the normal use of communication, positioning, and other equipment, thus causing a serious safety accident …
"More details are still under investigation."
"CCTV reporter reporting for you."
Lunar scientific research station.
Sun Lieyang was sitting in the public cafeteria and watching the news on the LCD screen. He frowned.
"I don't know if it's an illusion."
"What illusion?"
"I feel like this news is missing the beginning and the end."
Missing the beginning and the end?
Tao Muye raised his eyebrows with interest. He put down the chopsticks in his hand.
"You mean, there are more secrets that haven't been disclosed?"
"Yes." Sun Lieyang nodded and said, "You've received training, right?"
"Everyone here has received training."
"I remember the third rule in the safety manual very clearly. Once an aerospace accident caused by an uncontrollable factor occurs, you should wait for rescue in place unless it is necessary."
"Maybe it's necessary."
"Does the sandstorm on Mars count?"
Tao Muye hesitated and shook his head.
"I don't know … After all, I haven't been to the scene."
"I feel like it's a bit far-fetched."
With the ultra-low pressure on Mars, the sandstorm was not a big threat at all.
In order to avoid the sandstorm, they hid in a nearby mountain area, and then because of the hematite vein in the mountain range, they almost lost contact. This was like a person jumping into the river next to them to avoid the rain, and this person was a planetary geologist.
This was no longer taking his own life as a joke. This was simply courting death.
Although Sun Lieyang also understood that life was full of accidents, his intuition told him that there must be something hidden.
"Who cares? Even if there's more to it than meets the eye, it's not something we should know. Let's eat the melon peacefully. "Tao Muye picked up his chopsticks again and said with a smile," I think the people in the ground command center are sweating. Fortunately, they are back. Otherwise, the plan would have failed. "
Although he was still a little concerned, Sun Lieyang agreed with Dr. Tao's point of view. Even if there was more to this, it had nothing to do with the researchers on the Moon.
Tao Muye looked at Dr. Sun who picked up his chopsticks and changed the topic.
"Speaking of which, how is your second-generation controllable fusion research going? Have you made any progress? "
Sun Lieyang replied casually.
"Yes, everything is there in the dream."
"…"
…
In Lu Zhou's original plan, the unified theory of algebra and geometry was his final work in the field of pure mathematics.
At least until he reached level 10 in all subjects, unless he encountered a particularly interesting problem, he probably wouldn't put his focus back on mathematics.
Firstly, it was to leave some opportunities for the latecomers.
Secondly, he was really too busy.
In addition to mathematical physics, which he had already maxed out, there were still as many as five subjects that needed to be solved. Moreover, these subjects all had a long research and development cycle, and were more random and focused on application fields.
Especially when the research involved specific application scenarios, it wasn't something that could be solved by finding a pen to sit in the study room and casually calculating.
However, life was always full of surprises.
Just like how he never thought that he would be related to the Void Foundation again in this form …
"Why did you suddenly think of coming to me?"
Jin Ling University, mathematics department building.
Professor Perelman, who was sitting at his desk and writing something, looked at Lu Zhou, who walked into his office. He stopped writing and cast a questioning look at him.
"I have a problem that I can't figure out. I heard you were still here, so I came over …" Lu Zhou walked in from the door and glanced around the slightly messy office. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, aren't you going back to St. Petersburg?"
"Before the Hodge conjecture is solved, I will probably stay here for a while." Perelman answered the question concisely. He turned the pen in his hand and said, "Compared to these insignificant things, I'm more curious about what problem is troubling you. Can I ask first, is it mathematics? "
"It's mathematics."
Lu Zhou walked to the sofa and sat down. He smiled and nodded to the assistant who brought the tea. He then looked at the mist rising from the cup and continued in a soft voice, "To be precise, it's the ABC conjecture."
The pen in his hand fell on the table.
Perelman furrowed his brows.
"ABC conjecture … Why are you interested in that thing?"
"Because of curiosity." Lu Zhou thought for a while and said vaguely, "And some practical reasons."
"Is it related to the work meeting at Jin Ling University some time ago?"
"Work meeting?"
"Yeah, I heard it from other mathematics professors here." Perelman frowned and continued, "Recently, you seem to be planning to concentrate on solving the ABC conjecture. It seems that you have offered a scientific research fund of 100 million yuan as a reward? In fact, with all due respect, this kind of problem can't be solved by more people and more money. "
Is there such a thing?
Lu Zhou was taken aback. He then laughed.
"I'm not sure about this, maybe someone did something extra … However, this conjecture is really important to us. Do you have any good ideas?"
Perelman: "I've read Shinichi Mochizuki's paper."
"I've read it too … So?"
"Then you should know what I want to say." After Perelman muttered, he continued, "If the Riemann conjecture is the Mount Everest of mathematics, then the ABC conjecture is the cloud floating next to the Mount Everest. It is undoubtedly a mathematical problem. It can be described in very concise mathematical language, but it doesn't seem like a problem that can be solved by mathematics."
"Professor Mochizuki's work is equivalent to creating a special mathematical language parallel to mathematics itself … Anyway, his Anabelian geometry seems to me to be like this."
"To put it bluntly, the biggest difficulty in solving this problem is that no one in mathematics today has really made a 'useful' level of research on this problem. If you really want to study this problem, you have to redefine mathematics like redefining addition and subtraction. "
"Will it be easier to solve this kind of problem with alien mathematics …" Perelman muttered, "Of course, this is just my guess."
This sentence made Lu Zhou tense up subconsciously.
But he soon realized that Perelman just said it casually, and it didn't seem like he knew the inside story.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhou's expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.
This is a bit difficult.
Now the higher-ups are still discussing whether to disclose the issue of "fifth contact". If it is finally disclosed, will today's conversation make this old friend feel like I'm trying to trick him?
But after thinking about it, Lu Zhou quickly left this matter behind.
For a scholar who was obsessed with mathematics, even if he knew the inside story behind this, he probably wouldn't be interested.
"Redefine the language of mathematics like redefining addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?" With a thoughtful expression on his face, Lu Zhou stood up from the sofa. "I'll go back and think about it."
Perelman didn't try to persuade him to stay. He nodded and said.
"If I have any new ideas, I will communicate with you again."
"In fact, compared to my opinion, I still recommend you to discuss this issue with Shinichi Mochizuki or Schulz. They seem to have done more research on this issue."
Lu Zhou nodded.
"I will think about it."
