"This guy is a devil …"
Jin Ling University library.
The door was pushed open, and Shinichi Mochizuki rushed out of the activity room with a stack of drafts in his arms. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was talking to himself like a madman.
"No, it should be hell."
It had been a week since Schulz said he wanted to "give it a try".
Except for Perelman, who did not participate, he and Schulz confidently followed Lu Zhou into the room next to them. The door was closed for several days.
Before the retreat began, the three made an agreement that they could persist if they could. If they couldn't, they could quit at any time. But as long as they hadn't given up, everything had to be done according to Lu Zhou.
At first, Shinichi Mochizuki didn't take it too seriously. He didn't even consider that he wouldn't be able to persist. After all, in his opinion, things that could be overcome with perseverance were not a big problem, not to mention that there was an example of someone who could persist next to him.
But very quickly, he realized how wrong he was …
It was okay to eat three meals a day. It was not a big problem for a homebody like him to eat and drink in the library. However, he didn't expect that even sleeping here had become a luxury.
According to Lu Zhou, if he was sleepy, it was enough to lie on the table for a while. When the fatigue value broke through a limit, he would enter an unprecedented state.
This was not something that perseverance could face; it was pure self-abuse!
At first, it was a little useful. The feeling of inspiration made him experience unprecedented comfort. However, this state of life lasted for about five days, and he began to be unable to bear it.
First, his mind began to wander, then his body issued a warning.
Finally, on the seventh day, which was today, he felt that if he didn't come out, he might suddenly die inside.
Schultz, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at Shinichi Mochizuki who walked out of the room. He had a knowing look on his face as he agreed with Shinichi.
"You finally came out? I guess you can't hold on anymore … How can a normal person not sleep for 24 hours? I've never heard of such a reckless thing. "
Unlike the Moongazer Serpent, he only lasted for three days before being completely defeated. However, he didn't think it was embarrassing. After all, even the best research method wasn't suitable for everyone. Just like how he didn't feel the feeling of inspiration that Lu Zhou described, he preferred to study these interesting mathematical problems in a more relaxed atmosphere.
At the desk not far away, Perelman spun the ballpoint pen in his hand and raised his head to look at the two of them. A hint of surprise was written on his expressionless face.
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Schulz and Mochizuki looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
"It's not just exaggerated …"
"If he continues to do research at this pace, no one will be able to persist … except for himself."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened again.
The person they were talking about happened to walk out with a stack of A4 papers.
"When have I ever stayed awake for 24 hours? I'm a normal person, I can still sleep, okay? "
Lu Zhou couldn't help but yawn. He casually replied and threw the stack of A4 papers in his hand on the table closest to him.
"My part is done, what about you guys?"
Looking at the stack of drafts on the table, Schulz's eyes lit up.
However, for him, now was obviously not the time to study these things. He hadn't finished his own part yet. He didn't want to become the person who dragged the whole team down.
Schulz: "I'm almost there."
Shinichi Moongazer said, "Me too."
Perelman thought for a while and said, "I'm almost there … Probably in the afternoon."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Then let's do it this afternoon. Let's summarize the results of the research and then have a discussion meeting. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the last discussion meeting before we finish this research project. "
"Wait a minute." Schulz raised his hand and said embarrassedly, "How about tomorrow afternoon, I have a place here … I have to think about it for a while."
Shinichi Moongazer also nodded.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he was the same … It would probably be done tomorrow.
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at him with interest.
"You hit a bottleneck?"
Schulz coughed and spoke.
"Sort of."
"It's normal." Lu Zhou continued, "The part you are responsible for is relatively difficult. It just so happens that I've already done this part. If you still don't have any good ideas, you can tell me your problem, and I'll help you think about it. "
After hearing Lu Zhou say this, Schulz picked up the marker and walked to the side of the whiteboard. He scribbled a line of calculations on it.
[d < D (rad (abc)) ^ (3/7
Ε)}]
After taking back the marker in his hand, Schulz handed it to Lu Zhou and spoke.
"This is the result I got based on Baker's theorem. According to the solution ideas you provided, I tried to progress it towards the ABC conjecture, but … it doesn't seem so easy to solve."
"Interesting … Let me take a look."
With an expression of interest on his face, Lu Zhou took the marker from Schulz's hand. He stared at the calculations on the whiteboard and thought quietly. He played with the marker in his hand and unconsciously turned it in circles.
When he turned the sixth circle, he suddenly seemed to think of something. An expression of realization appeared on his face. He then reached out his hand, crossed out the line of calculations on the whiteboard, and wrote the corrected result next to it.
[d < D (rad (abc)) ^ (1/4
Ε)
Ε}]
After taking back the marker on the whiteboard, Lu Zhou took half a step back.
"I tried to check the calculations, it should be provable … And it is more accurate than the original conclusion. You can try to derive it. You don't need my help for the specific proof process."
As Schultz stared at the calculations on the whiteboard, he was stunned.
He stared at the calculations on the whiteboard with a dumbfounded face. After about five minutes, he seemed to have finally figured it out. He looked at Lu Zhou with an expression like he had seen a ghost.
“WTF？！ How did you do it?! Wait … Or did you already think of the answer?! "
Because he was too surprised, he couldn't help but swear this time even though he never swore.
"Oh, of course not." Lu Zhou looked at Schultz, who was so shocked that he began to talk nonsense. He returned the marker in his hand and said with a modest smile, "I just happened to think of it. Some things are like intuition. I believe you have similar feelings sometimes."
Schulz said, "No, I didn't. This is the first time I've heard that intuition can be accurate to this extent."
Shinichi Mochizuki, who was standing next to him, nodded and couldn't help but ask.
"… What the hell is your head made of?"
After hearing these words, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned. He then made a joke.
"I don't know, but the materials used are definitely similar to yours."
Clearing his throat, Lu Zhou continued to look at Schulz.
"Now that the problem has been solved, are you confident that the rest can be done by tomorrow evening?"
Schulz nodded and smiled confidently.
"No problem, it will be done tonight!"
"Really? That's great. "Lu Zhou smiled, nodded, and said," I'll wait for your good news. "
