As early as three days ago, Chen Yushan kept sending him text messages, telling him that the Electric Purple sent to him by BYD had arrived. She told him to pick up the car in the city.
However, Lu Zhou's phone was turned off at the time, so he didn't see the text messages. It wasn't until a few minutes ago that Lu Zhou uploaded the thesis to arXiv did he have time to look through the text messages.
Then …
In less than half an hour, Lu Zhou was already standing in the shop. He was standing next to the cool black sports car, looking at it with interest.
The saleswoman standing next to Lu Zhou felt a huge amount of pressure from the bodyguard behind Lu Zhou. She had a stiff but professional smile on her face. She quickly introduced the basic performance of the legendary Electric Purple to Lu Zhou, which was the only one in the world.
After patiently listening to her explanation, Lu Zhou immediately asked, "What's the fastest speed?"
The saleswoman said politely, "It can reach a maximum speed of 260 kilometers per hour, but it shouldn't be used on ordinary roads."
Lu Zhou nodded. He was expressionless, but he was secretly shocked.
Nutty!
An electric car can go this fast, it's really nutty.
This wasn't just catching up with the United States and the United Kingdom, it was f * cking leaving Tesla on the moon … Of course, it was a bit unkind to compare a custom-made car with a mass-produced car regardless of the cost, but it was already amazing that a domestic car could achieve this.
Then, Lu Zhou asked another question that he was concerned about.
"What about the safety features?"
The saleswoman smiled politely.
"The glass is bulletproof —"
"I'll be responsible for inspecting this area." Wang Peng, who was standing next to him, said to Lu Zhou in a positive tone, "If it doesn't pass, we'll be responsible for modifying it to a passable level."
Lu Zhou suddenly became nervous.
"Don't turn this thing into a tank."
Wang Peng was stunned. "How could it be … Our department has experts in this field. I promise that after the modification, it will be exactly the same as the car you see now."
As if I'd believe you!
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and said, "I have a request."
Wang Peng: "What request?"
Lu Zhou smiled shyly and said, "Before you send me for modification, take me for a walk first. Let me have some fun first."
Wang Peng said nervously, "… No problem."
…
Although Lu Zhou wasn't a car enthusiast, he believed that as long as he was a man, he would be interested in cool luxury cars.
It was a great feeling to drive a limited-edition coupe around the world.
Especially since Lu Zhou had just solved a difficult problem, he needed to relax.
Lu Zhou told Wang Peng to drive around the Purple Mountain ring road. He then drove around the edge of the city before going back. Lu Zhou opened the windows on both sides and let the cold wind blow past him for a while.
However, this excitement only lasted for around ten minutes. Soon, Lu Zhou felt a little bored.
As expected, luxury cars weren't for him.
Mathematics was more interesting.
After Lu Zhou closed the window, he took out his phone from his pocket and logged into his MathOverflow account. He then looked at the trending topics.
Just like he expected, less than an hour after he uploaded the "quasi Riemann conjecture" thesis onto arXiv, the MathOverflow discussion exploded!
[Jesus! Unbelievable!]
[Wasn't Professor Lu looking for a solution from the π (x) function a few days ago? Why did he suddenly change his research direction???]
[There's an old saying in China, make a feint in the east and attack in the west? (laugh)]
[How many scholars on arXiv have claimed to have made a major breakthrough on the Riemann conjecture? Re (s) = 1-c/ln [| Im (s) | + 2] is infinitely close to Re (s) = 1 when Im (s) → ∞. Therefore, we can't move the right boundary of the critical zone even a little bit to the left! Although the critical zone method hasn't been researched recently is commendable, can't young people be more rigorous? (headache)]
[But this is Professor Lu we're talking about! Have you even read his thesis? His method doesn't use the property that Re (s) = 1-c/ln [| Im (s) | + 2] is infinitely close to Re (s) = 1 when Im (s) → ∞!]
[I know this is Professor Lu, but Sir Atiyah's achievements in mathematics are no less than Professor Lu's! Mathematics research should be based on facts, not on the reputation of the researcher! I dare say that if he submitted anonymously, it wouldn't even attract attention!]
When Lu Zhou saw this comment, he smiled embarrassedly.
No sh * t!
Do you even need to tell me that?
If an unknown scholar claimed to have proved the Riemann conjecture, who would believe they could? Not to mention, fame itself was part of academic capital.
Not convinced?
Then hold it in!
Interestingly, he saw a familiar ID in the group chat — Terry Tao.
This ID was none other than Professor Tao Zhexuan, who taught at the University of Los Angeles.
Professor Tao's comment was also very interesting. It was only a short sentence.
[I'm checking the calculations, wait a second, it might take some time.]
Under normal circumstances, Professor Tao rarely gave such an ambiguous comment on whether a conjecture was correct or not.
If there was a problem, and the problem happened to be one that he had studied or dabbled in, it would not take him much effort to find a counterexample that disproved it.
However, this situation seemed a bit special?
It seemed like because of this short sentence, the entire Mathoverflow forum became even more heated.
Lu Zhou continued to browse for a bit. He saw a lot of interesting comments and smirked.
Wang Peng looked at him. Even though he was curious about why Lu Zhou was smiling at his phone, he knew that this topic might make Lu Zhou uncomfortable. Therefore, he wisely chose to focus on driving.
This cool looking Electric Purple car drove around the Purple Mountain road and parked in front of the Zhongshan International residential area. Passersby who were walking their dogs cast curious glances at the car.
They had never seen the car logo before.
They had never seen the model either.
For those who didn't know about cars, it was nothing. They just thought it was a luxury car that they had never seen before. But for those who knew about cars, it was a bit amazing. They took out their mobile phones as if they had discovered a new continent, ready to take photos and post them on their WeChat Moments.
However …
After seeing the person getting out of the car, these people who had taken out their phones silently put away their phones.
Can't mess with this …
It's fine to take photos of other people.
Even if he was a famous celebrity, he was not a big deal to the people who lived in this area. Perhaps he had even had a deep conversation with him.
But for this big shot …
The moment they took a photo, they would be asked to talk about life and ideals …
