Chapter 513 Players

The dean's words brought back memories of Jiang Chanji.

When he was still living an ordinary life in an ordinary high school as an ordinary person, such things as examinations were commonplace. What some students find difficult is definitely the math test. Regardless of whether they plan to study literature or science in the future, they must be severely beaten by the math test before finishing high school.

In terms of the average academic ability of most middle school students, assuming that the full score is 100 points, the math test basically hovers between the passing line and 80 points, and those who can score around 90 points are considered top students in the class, and the full score is basically impossible imagine.

The last big question in the mathematics test is the final question, which is often the touchstone of mathematics level.The purpose of the exam is to classify the students into grades and grades to create a degree of differentiation. The difficulty design of the finale must be such that most students stare blankly after writing the word "solution" or "proof", and even some do not do it. The students who are slow to answer the questions have not written the final question, and the test time is over.

Jiang Chanji is not much better than the average students. It is not bad to get half of the final questions, but the two or three top math students in the class who are eligible to participate in the Olympiad only rarely get full marks for the final questions. Compared with his cumbersome problem-solving process, these Olympiad contestants can often find another way to solve problems with a fairly simple and clean thinking, sometimes even more concise than the standard answers provided by the teacher.

For a while, he was at the same table with a Math Olympiad competitor, and the two of them were doing exercises together. When he saw a particularly complicated problem, his head was in a mess, full of various mathematical symbols, and the tablemate was scratching on the draft paper. After a few strokes, he quickly found his train of thought and started to write, which made him secretly feel frustrated.

Therefore, the same question is probably different in the eyes of ordinary students and Olympiad athletes, right?
Moreover, this is a Mathematical Olympiad player in the class. At best, he can win a gold medal in the provincial Mathematical Olympiad competition. Is it just like how ordinary students feel when confronted with them?
Does the same question look the same in the eyes of provincial and national Mathematical Olympians?

However, this is not the end. Even the students who won the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad are basically at the peak of the mathematics level of middle school students, but the gold medalists trained over the years are only problem-solving geniuses. How many mathematicians have grown into pioneers and left their names in history?

The gap between an ordinary middle school student and a mathematician can be described as "one in a million". Therefore, the question of the dean of the school can also be extended to - the same math problem, in the eyes of ordinary students, is the same as that of a mathematician. Does it look the same to a gifted student who has the potential to become a mathematician in the future?
Does the same music feel the same to ordinary people as it does to Mozart?
Absolutely different.

It may be because there are students like Fu Su who have never experienced beatings in ordinary schools. The dean gave them a period of time to think, and then took the initiative to answer this question.

"In the process of selecting teachers for our school, I sent representatives to visit many math geniuses—real math geniuses, not just problem-solving geniuses. In order to understand their thinking, the representatives I sent listened carefully to their lectures , After carefully studying their papers, it means that they have certain mathematical attainments, but after listening and reading, I found that their thinking process is not at all understandable." The dean laughed, "Can you understand this feeling? The representative came back and told me that she could understand what they were saying and what they were writing, but she just couldn't figure out how they came up with these things."

In fact, Jiang Chanji wanted to say that there is really no need to spend a lot of money to hire a math genius to be a teacher for the math class taught by the wealthy ladies in this school... This is of course a joke, those teachers must also be responsible for basic scientific research and teach students Just for fun and refreshment.

"I don't know if you have heard of the mathematician Hilbert?" asked the dean.

They shake their heads.

"Hilbert is a very powerful person, known as the 'Guide of Mathematics', he proposed the concept of Hilbert space, but today I am not going to introduce his mathematical achievements to you, but to tell you something A little anecdote about him—it is said that he has a special ability." The dean said mysteriously.

"Huh? Is he a transcendent?"

None of the people here knew that the mathematician had passed away long ago.

"No, but it's not an exaggeration to say that his ability is extraordinary—he can 'see' shapes in high-dimensional space." The dean explained, "Attention! He didn't imagine high-dimensional space look, but 'see' with the eyes!"

As three-dimensional creatures, the vast majority of human beings can't even imagine high-dimensional space, but this person can "see" it... It's frightening to think about it carefully, no wonder he will become a generation of mathematics masters.

If even high-dimensional space can be directly "seeed", then if it is a mathematical problem drawn on paper such as solid geometry, no matter how complicated and cumbersome, people will be able to find the solution to the problem immediately after a glance?

The example given by the dean made them clearly understand that the same math problem is absolutely different in the eyes of ordinary people and the eyes of very few math geniuses.

In fact, it is not necessary to go to Hilbert's level. Jiang Chanji seems to have heard a mathematician's self-report before, saying that he saw mathematical formulas as if he saw a string of dancing notes, which were concise and beautiful, but ordinary People may have a headache immediately when they see mathematical formulas.

"I use Hilbert as an example to let you better understand the chief's ability." The dean returned to the topic, "Similar to Hilbert, the world in the eyes of the chief is different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people Yes, and ordinary people can hardly imagine what the world looks like in the eyes of the chief.”

After a pause, the dean's expression became serious, "I want to declare first that what I'm going to say next are all my speculations, not necessarily facts. The truth of the facts may only be known by the chief himself... No, maybe even her I don't even know."

Everyone was a little confused, how could even the chief himself not know?
Jiang Chanji suddenly thought, could it be that the chief, like the dean of the dean, has some kind of...abnormal mental or psychological aspects?

"So anyone who has dealt with the chief will feel that the chief's behavior is a bit... strange, but that was a few years ago, and I don't know if the chief has changed now." The head of the academy continued, "Most people They all think that her "strangeness" comes from the influence of the primitive culture she has received, she is talkative and stupid in many ways, a person of her status can't speak English, so many people think that she is a witch The Art tribe is the weakest of the several superhuman organizations."

Jiang Chanji also felt the same way. The chief seems to be the only leader among the major organizations who is not good at force. Even Luisa, who is the high priest, is not good at force. Against the backdrop of other organizations, she looks... weak. Only respect the hard power that can be seen.

"As said on the 15th, every decision made by the chief is extremely wise in hindsight, as if he could predict the future." The head of the academy looked at him, "But I don't believe that anyone can predict the future, so I consulted many experts and scholars, and vaguely guessed the true ability of the chief."

"Have you heard of the word Apophenia? It's not that I said it in English on purpose, but that there is no official Chinese translation for this word. This is a rare vocabulary that exists in psychology and programming. If you want to translate it, it can be translated into 'Excessively delusional illusions'?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this word, whether it was in English or Chinese, it was very obscure, and it was impossible to guess what it meant.

"Simply put, this can be attributed to a kind of...spiritual paranoia." The dean tapped his temples, "People with this tendency will persistently seek laws from irregularities—you heard Here, you may find it funny, since there are obviously no rules, if you insist on finding rules from it, wouldn’t that be a fool doing useless work?”

The dean's words touched everyone's heart.

"However, this 'irregularity' is the definition of ordinary people, and it is what ordinary people think is irregular." The head of the academy emphasized, "Then the definition of 'irregularity' by ordinary people is really irregular?"

Such a simple sentence made Jiang Chanji's scalp tingle and his hairs stand on end.

Hundreds of years ago, ordinary people still thought that the sun revolved around the earth, and the cutting-edge truth was never in the hands of ordinary people.

"Attention, people with excessive delusion, they will persistently find the law from the irregular, but I did not say that they will be able to find the law, in fact, most of them are just pure delusion, delusional It's all an illusion, but very few of them will have an 'epiphany' under certain circumstances and really find the law, and these people who have an epiphany, no matter what kind of work they are engaged in, will become peerless in this field Genius, absolutely no one in the field can match, because others have not grasped the law - in a country full of blind people, the one-eyed man is the king."

The more Jiang Chanji and the others listened, the more they broke out in cold sweat. He tentatively asked, "Dean, what do you mean..."

"If I'm not wrong, the chief suffered from excessive delusional delusions when she was a child, but she grew up in an environment where no one would take her to see a doctor. According to her childhood neighbors and playmates, she was often in a daze because of the air. And she is considered to be dull by nature, she is a stupid child, no one can imagine how weird and magnificent the world she sees is, when she awakens her ability, she may see the model of the 'world'." Chang said with emotion, "In her eyes, we are just pawns on the chessboard, and she is one of the two players. Her opponent is named 'Goddess of Fate'."

The same math problem is different in the eyes of ordinary people from the eyes of a mathematician like Hilbert, and the same world is also different in the eyes of ordinary people and in the eyes of the chief, and ordinary people cannot imagine the hope Albert saw what a math problem looked like, and he couldn't imagine what the world the chief saw.

"People divide extraordinary people into Lv.1 to Lv.9, but in my opinion, there are only two classes of extraordinary people, one is ordinary level, the other is god level, and there are only one and a half god level extraordinary people. The shepherd counts as half."

The implication of the dean's words is obvious, the only god-level transcendent is the chief.

Other extraordinary beings, whether strong or weak, are just rooks, horses, bishops, and pawns on the chessboard, and no matter how great they are, they are at most kings and queens, and the chief is one of the two players sitting behind the chessboard.

The head of the college said quietly: "This is a chess game with years as the unit. Both sides of the game must make a decision before making a move. They will not regret it. They may not be able to move a single piece for a year or a few years... The chief is in this game. The disadvantage in the game is not because she is weaker than the goddess of fate, but because she cannot treat each chess piece as a pure chess piece like the goddess of fate. She knows that each chess piece is a flesh and blood person, and is eaten by the opponent. To lose is to die forever, and there is no chance of a replay."

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog. This is probably what it means.

If the sky is sentimental, the sky is old too. A sentimental chess player must be in a weak position when facing a ruthless chess player. She cannot give up her feelings for each chess piece, and the chess layout will be tied, but in the eyes of a ruthless chess player , except that "King" cannot be checkmate, in order to win, all other chess pieces can be used as discards and shields.

"Back to Fu Su's original question, is the chief predicting the future? I prefer to think that she is trying to fight and rewrite the future, so that the future becomes what she wants... But no one knows, she What the hopeful future looks like, no one knows if she can succeed, because her opponent is unimaginably powerful!"

Not only Jiang Chanji and the others were terrified and moved, but even the squid whiskers seemed fascinated by it, because the squid whiskers had fought against fate before and failed... No, it can't be considered a failure, because although all their chess pieces They were all eaten, but the "king" hadn't been checkmate, maybe even by cheating, when the goddess of fate thought that the victory was certain and didn't pay attention, she took out Jiang Chanji from her pocket and quietly made it to the corner of the chessboard. In the corner, theoretically, there is still the possibility of a comeback or a draw.

Although it is just a small pawn, it can only move forward slowly step by step like a turtle, but if there is a day when it breaks into the bottom line of the opponent's position, the pawn can transform into almost any chess piece on the chessboard, even vertical and horizontal. Unimpeded "post", its name is "soldier promotion".

"Oh, by the way, this year the chief moved a pawn." The head of the college smiled, "She sent Luisa, a 'vaulting horse' that can't fight head-on, but can save the country with curves."
