Black technology, starting from daily check-in

"Jack, it's too early for you to congratulate. I have to tell you that I did not find the 51st Mersenne prime number. It was discovered by someone else."

After listening to Jack's words, Faljens also came back to his senses and corrected him with a serious expression.

After speaking, he looked at the eyes of everyone in the conference room looking at him in unison, coughed lightly, and said, "I'll tell you the details later, I still have a meeting, so I'll hang up first."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone quickly in the eyes of Deligne next to him who said "that's it".

Seeing this scene, Mr. Chen Shengshen who was not far away also looked at Lin Yu next to him thoughtfully, and immediately asked in a low voice: "You were late just because you ran into Falyans? Or, Falyans Did you find the 51st Mersenne prime number in your mouth?"

While speaking, Mr. Chen Shengshen also looked at Lin Yu dubiously, his tone full of uncertainty.

Hearing this, the old man Qiu Chengtong next to him also became energetic, staring at Lin Yu closely, wanting to know the answer impatiently.

"Uh……"

Under the eyes of the two old men, Lin Yu hesitated for a while, and then explained: "When I was wandering in the corridor, I happened to see him testing the 51st Mersenne prime number. The theorem is quite interesting, but , He stopped writing halfway through the writing, there is no way, after reading it for a while as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, I deduced it all the way, and finally calculated the result after pushing and pushing."

At the end of the speech, Lin Yu shrugged indifferently, as if he had done a very normal thing.

Seeing Lin Yu's innocent appearance, the two old men couldn't help but look at each other. While shocked in their hearts, they had nothing to say for a while.

Push and push even if the result comes out?

Is this still a human being?

You know, this is a Mersenne prime number!

Since Euler in the 2th century proved that 31^1-8 is the [-]th Mersenne prime by mental arithmetic, no one has ever calculated Mersenne primes by hand counting and recording!

Because its calculation volume is so amazing that it can only be calculated with a computer.

However, now, Lin Yu is calculating the record by hand, and directly released the 51st Mersenne prime number!

Moreover, the most important thing is that he actually succeeded in the calculation!

This is simply incredible!

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone due to our reasons. Please forgive me."

While Lin Yu and Chen Xingshen were whispering, Deligne, who was in the chair, stood up first after seeing Faljens hang up the phone, and sincerely bowed to everyone to express his apology.

And the other four people on the main seat followed closely behind.

Seeing this, everyone in the conference room responded with a smile, saying that it was nothing.

Soon, as all the people arrived, the meeting officially started.

There was only one thing in the whole meeting, that is, under the proposal of the five top figures such as Deligne and Faljens, the leaders of all countries began to come up with their own questions within the established range, and then select the topics .

In the end, after passing the review by Deligne and others and confirming that they are correct, they will select the six best topics from these selected topics as the topics of this IMO competition.

After selecting these six topics, the last finale topic was arranged by the five Deligne themselves.

Of course, in the process of topic selection, there should be no marks or creases on the white paper except for the topic.

It can be said that this operation basically eliminates the possibility of black-box operation, and everyone can only use their own mathematics level to come up with questions.

Moreover, the questions they proposed must not only meet the established requirements given by Deligne and others, but also make the students who do the questions feel a certain degree of difficulty.

All in all, it is not easy for students to find it easy, but it cannot be difficult for them.

Therefore, grasping the degree in the middle is the place where the tester's level is most tested.

Time passed slowly.

Two hours later, everyone's topic selection was completely over.

However, to everyone's surprise, among the six topics selected by Deligne and others, Lin Yu alone took up five!

What's more, even the last question was assigned by Mr. Chern Shiingshen.

This is outrageous!

"After signing the non-disclosure agreement, all the team leaders can leave except for the Huaxia team leader who needs to stay."

After sorting out the blank paper with the selected topic in his hand, Deligne looked at the crowd with a smile on his face and said.

It was said that after signing the non-disclosure agreement, everyone felt outrageous in their hearts, and at the same time left the meeting room helplessly.

They also did not expect that all the topics of this IMO competition were arranged by the Huaxia team, which is simply unscientific.

And as everyone left one after another, only Lin Yu and others were left in the entire conference room.

"Mr Lin, it turns out that you are the Chinese mathematician who used quantum mechanics to verify the Riemann conjecture."

When everyone left, before Deligne could speak, Faljens next to him looked at Lin Yu with a smile on his face, and said in a tone full of surprise and praise: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, you successfully found the 51st Mersenne prime number by mental arithmetic, and your verification theorem is the most perfect deduction I have ever seen, which is really great."

Just when everyone was choosing the topic, Faljens had already explained the ins and outs of the matter to the other four people in Deligne.

Therefore, they all know that not long ago, Lin Yu tested the 51st Mersenne prime number by mental arithmetic.

To be honest, if Faljens hadn't seen it with his own eyes, they probably wouldn't believe that someone could do something that only God can do.

"Although I haven't seen your verification theorem, since even an arrogant guy like Faljens is full of praise for you, it must be very exciting."

Just after Faljens finished speaking, another old Caucasian professor named John Nash, who looked very gentlemanly, looked at Lin Yu with a smile.

Regarding the unsparing praise of these two top mathematicians, Lin Yu also said with a smile with some embarrassment: "Thank you two professors for your praise, I am just lucky for a while."

"Luck doesn't do math."

Just as Lin Yu finished speaking, another old Caucasian professor named Andrew Wiles, who looked a little thin, said something slowly.

Watching the scene where everyone was singing in unison, before the last old professor named Felman could speak, Deligne, who had been ignored all the time, said with a black line on his face: "I said, guys, you seem to have forgotten We're still in a meeting now."

Hearing this, Faljens and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then closed their mouths tactfully.

Seeing this, Deligne snorted angrily, then looked at Lin Yu with a smile, and said, "Mr. Lin, you are the most talented mathematician I have ever seen. With your talent, if you stay in Princeton , then there will definitely be greater development.”

"In the future, whether it is the Fields Medal or the Abel Prize, you can easily earn it. Even, once you successfully verify the Riemann Hypothesis, you will become the greatest mathematician since the 21st century. one!"

In the end, Deligne's gaze also changed from initial calmness to fanaticism.

The Abel Prize is one of the top mathematics awards in the world. It has been awarded since 2003 and is awarded once a year to encourage individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the mathematics community.

At the same time, it is also to make up for the regret that the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics award.

The Abel Prize and the Fields Medal are both the most authoritative international mathematics awards, which are the dreams of countless mathematicians.

However, whether it is Fields or Abel, these are the top awards in the mathematics world, and it is difficult to reach the sky if one of them is awarded.

However, what puzzled Faljens and others was that after listening to Deligne's seductive words, Lin Yu didn't feel any excitement, but instead looked a little weird.

Even the two old men, Chen Shengshen and Qiu Chengtong beside him, looked at Deligne with strange expressions.

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor Deligne. I am different from you. I am not a pure mathematician. Rather than devoting my whole life to studying proud mathematics, I still prefer to spend the rest of my life with my wife."

After a while, Lin Yu smiled slightly, and apologetically rejected Deligne's proposal.

The greatest mathematician of the 21st century?

To be honest, since Lin Yu started the system's fire of civilization program, he has been thinking about building mechas and developing various future technologies.

As for things like studying math problems and winning various awards and honors, just kidding, there is no such thing as making mechas.

Moreover, Riemann guessed this kind of thing, he has already verified it...

"Well, what a pity."

After hearing Lin Yu's answer, Deligne also shook his head with regret, and continued: "If you want, we will help you report the 51st Mersenne prime number that has been tested. I think, by then you should There will be a lot of money and honors.”

"Then trouble Professor Deligne." Lin Yu nodded and said with a smile.

Although he doesn't care about the bonuses and honors from the American side, since Deligne and the others are willing to help him deal with it, it is naturally the best.

"You're welcome."

Deligne smiled and waved his hands, then seemed to think of something, and asked curiously: "By the way, the year-end report will be held at 31:[-] am on the [-]st. How is your preparation for the topic of this report?"

Hearing this question, whether it was Falyans and the others, or the two old men Chen Shengshen, they all looked at Lin Yu with great interest.

They also want to know what surprise report topic Lin Yu will prepare for this year-end report meeting.

Especially the two old men, Chen Shengshen, boldly predicted in their hearts, whether Lin Yu would prove the remaining worldwide problems by then.

Because proving a world-wide difficult problem at the most grand year-end report meeting in the mathematics field, such a historic scene, just thinking about it, is enough to make any mathematician excited!

However, compared to everyone's curiosity, Lin Yu is a little dumbfounded.

Because he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have prepared a topic for the year-end report.

This is awkward.

"Hehe, about the topic at the year-end report meeting... Please allow me to keep it secret for now. The professor will naturally know about it at the year-end report meeting." Lin Yu said with a "mysterious" smile.

"Secret? Hahaha, well, then you can continue to prepare. If you perform very well at the report meeting, maybe I will join forces with the professors of the Princeton Department of Mathematics to nominate you for the Crawford Award." Candidate." Seeing this, Deligne also said with a smile.

The Crawford Award is jointly awarded by the Raypoint Royal Academy of Sciences and the Crawford Foundation in Lund.

Every year, scientific progress in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, earth science and biological science is rewarded, with a bonus of 600 million kroner, equivalent to approximately 440 million yuan.

Although the Crawford Award is not the most prestigious award in the mathematics world, it is quite prestigious in the mathematics world. Almost any top mathematician has this trophy on his growth path.

"Then if I perform poorly, Professor Deligne, you have to be prepared mentally."

Hearing that Deligne was ready to nominate himself for an award in advance, Lin Yu also joked.

"I don't believe that a genius mathematician who can mentally calculate the 51st Mersenne prime will perform poorly. Anyway, I am full of expectations for you."

Before Deligne could reply, Faljens next to him looked at Lin Yu with scorching eyes, and couldn't help but interject.

"Correct me, I'm just an amateur mathematician." Feeling Faljens' fiery gaze, Lin Yu said seriously.

Faljens: "..."

Listening to the conversation between Lin Yu, Deligne and others, Chen Xingshen and Qiu Chengtong were speechless, but also secretly dumbfounded.

All the professors in the Princeton Department of Mathematics nominated Lin Yu for the Crawford Award?

Good guy, no one has ever received such exaggerated treatment in the entire history of mathematics.

Even Tao Terence, the most talented mathematician in China decades ago, was nominated by Deligne and his five top mathematicians from Princeton.

So, to put it bluntly, as long as Lin Yu performs very well at the year-end report meeting, then based on this, he can win the Crawford Award in advance!

.........

After a brief chat with Deligne and the others, Lin Yu returned to the Princeton Hotel with Chen Shiingshen.

However, not long after they returned to the hotel, the news that Lin Yu had tested the 51st Mersenne prime number by mental arithmetic spread throughout the mathematics world.

For a time, countless mathematicians were shocked.

Moreover, with the passage of time, even the official websites of the American Academy of Mathematics and Oak Forest National Laboratory have released the latest developments on the Internet.

"According to reports from Princeton University, just this morning, a Chinese mathematician named Lin Yu successfully discovered the 51st Mersenne prime number 2^82589933-1 (that is, 2 to the 82589933 power minus 1) by mental arithmetic. .”

"As verified by our supercomputing Summit, the prime number has 24862048 digits, which is the largest prime number discovered by humans so far. If it is printed in a normal font size, its length will exceed 100 kilometers!"
