This was beyond Lu Zhou's expectations.
As the most academic group in all disciplines, he originally thought that his teammates would more or less feel a little upset or show similar emotions. However, after he confessed all this, he was unexpectedly easily forgiven.
"Actually … You don't have to apologize at all." Schulz opened his mouth and said, "In solving this conjecture, you played at least 50% … or 60% of the role. I think it's not just me, Perelman and Professor Mochizuki should also agree with this. "
Although his face was still full of a confused expression, at least compared to a minute ago, he finally recovered from the sluggishness.
And at this moment, after hearing Schulz's monologue, even though he was still a little short of digesting this huge amount of information, Shinichi Mochizuki still nodded cooperatively.
"… On this point alone, I agree with Professor Schulz. Using the refinement of Baker's theorem as a starting point is a genius idea, and the mathematical language you constructed. "
Standing next to the two, Perelman, whose face was not very expressive, also nodded and spoke concisely.
"I don't care, but it would be better to explain it in advance."
Lu Zhou made a helpless expression.
"I also want to, but before this, the confidentiality level of this matter has always been top secret. Even now, only a part of the inside story has been disclosed. During this time, I have been studying the problems of the ABC conjecture, so I haven't paid attention to these things. "
"Speaking of which, I'm still a little confused." With an expression on his face, Schulz's tone was full of incredible complexity. "Extraterrestrial civilization … God, I have only seen this thing in Hollywood movies. Speaking of which, does this kind of thing really exist? Are you sure this is not an April Fool's joke? "
Lu Zhou said with an awkward expression.
"April Fool's Day has passed for a month … No matter what is going on on Mars now, I can at least be sure that this is definitely not an April Fool's joke."
Perelman was still expressionless. He didn't care about aliens. Shinichi Mochizuki, who was standing next to him, after completely recovering, his eyes began to bloom with excitement.
His shoulders trembled as he reached out to take off his glasses.
"Simply …"
Lu Zhou: "… Really?"
Professor Mochizuki nodded and continued with excitement.
"… That's so cool!"
…
Lu Zhou wasn't sure if it was cool or not.
But one thing he was sure of was that the whole world was shocked by the news that China had released through press conferences.
Human civilization is not the only one in the universe!
Although this had been the conjecture of many astronomers and science fiction writers, and it was accepted by many in the general public, it was not until the day of first contact that the conjecture changed from baseless delusion to something with a basis in fact.
Not only that, but when China released the recording of the first contact between the five categories, it set off an uproar around the world.
ABC conjecture!
Aliens actually used the ABC conjecture as a threshold for dialogue?!
What did that mean …
If we can't even solve a problem at the level of the ABC conjecture, are we not even worthy of being called intelligent creatures?
Whether it was Weibo or Twitter, the popular searches were unsurprisingly occupied by terms related to the Martian civilization. Any news related to this was brushed with at least three digits of comments.
This was the first contact of human civilization with a civilization other than Earth, and it was the only contact that had received effective feedback so far. The imagination about aliens that had been suppressed for nearly half a century seemed to have found a vent at this moment. It erupted like a flash flood.
"Don't answer, this must be a trap! Am I the only one who knows the Dark Forest axiom? If it's solved, it will give the enemy a motive to destroy us. If it's not solved, being weak is an original sin! Sigh, it's over, it's almost a dead end. The binary foil is probably on the way. "
"Shocking … No wonder some people said that China's Ministry of Science and Technology offered a reward of 100 million yuan for the ABC conjecture. It turns out that it's because of this."
"And it's 100 million yuan a year! But the mathematics department can't even spend so much money, right? Unless they set up their own mathematics research institute, I think a million yuan a year is the limit. "
"Does anyone in the mathematics department understand the situation? Has this ABC conjecture been solved? The encyclopedia seems to say that it has been solved. "
"Thank you for the invitation. Let's talk about the conclusion first, no! Although many people have claimed that they have solved the ABC conjecture, no proof has been recognized by the academic community so far. At present, the cutting-edge work in this field is mainly an inference obtained by Professor Yory about the S-unit equation on the number field. This inference is very close to the ABC conjecture. Other than that, there is the research of the LSPM research group … It is said that they have achieved a very amazing result, and Professor Fefferman spoke highly of this result, but not everyone is optimistic. Anyway, let's continue to watch. "
"If you don't understand, just ask, what is the LSPM research group?"
"Lu Zhou, Schulz, Perelman, Shinichi Mochizuki … It's the initials of four people."
"F * ck?! Ruthless! "
In addition to the normal discussion, there were also various conspiracy theories accompanying it.
For example, some people suspected that this was a clue deliberately forged by the China Mars landing office. After all, no one could go to Mars to confirm it anyway. As for the purpose, it was to control the emperor. There were also people who speculated that the Martian civilization had not perished at all, but had reached a level unimaginable by humans. The so-called ruins and clues of extraterrestrial civilization were just released to deceive people.
If it wasn't a joke, all these ideas could be written into a book by themselves.
On the other side, it wasn't just the heated discussion on the Internet.
The academic community's views on this fifth contact were also full of controversy.
Professor Yuval Herali, a professor of history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was interviewed by the BBC at the invitation of the BBC.
As a high-profile emerging historian, his works included the "A Brief History of Mankind" trilogy. Because of its unique narrative method and perspective on problems, it had almost become a textbook of science fiction literature.
As for why he was invited instead of experts who studied extraterrestrial civilization or astrophysics, it was probably because the producers of the BBC documentary felt that based on historical experience, for this kind of discovery that was completely contrary to common sense, perhaps the imagination of science fiction writers would be more convincing.
Facing the camera and microphone of the interview, Professor Yuval spoke in an intriguing tone.
"Fortunately, we found our neighbors living next to us, but this is also unfortunate. Although we finally realized their existence, it is likely that they have been observing us on Mars for a long time."
The reporter smelled a controversy and immediately threw out the question he had prepared.
"In your opinion, are you not optimistic about the first contact between Chinese astronauts and extraterrestrial civilization on Mars?"
"First contact? What is first contact? Was the first contact between humans and bacteria two million years ago in a serious disease, or after the discovery of microscopy? " Professor Yuval smiled noncommittally and continued, "In fact, it's like we don't know anything about their language, but they can even communicate with us in any language on Earth. The difference between us and them may be greater than the difference between us and bacteria.
"And what's even more frightening is, do you think bacteria are a civilization?
"I'm afraid this is a problem that all of us have to face."
