From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 105 The Challenge to the Peak of Wisdom
"I see, then thank you."

As soon as Lin Xiao heard it, he expressed his appreciation for their arrangement in his heart. When he learned from Chen Wei that the details of his report had not been posted on the official website before the conference, although he didn't say anything, he complained in his heart What about it.

"It's what we should do."

The staff said with a smile.

Lin Xiao nodded, then stopped talking, turned his head, and left here. Looking at his back, the staff member couldn't help thinking of the situation when he stopped Lin Xiao just now. He stopped a person who was equivalent to an hour. The boss of the reporter.

Fortunately, there were no surprises.

……

The next time is to wait for the official start of the conference with peace of mind.

On August [-], the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians officially began.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, all the participants were seated. The chairman of the organizing committee, Professor Marcelo Viana, first gave a speech and welcomed all the participants, followed by the chairman of the International Mathematical Union and the winner of the Fields Medal Mori Shigefumi. speech.

After the speech, the meeting reached its climax, which is the five awards of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

The first three awards are Gauss Award, Chern Award and Leelavati Award.

And the fourth award is the Fields Medal, which is also the award that attracts the most attention from everyone.

As each name appeared, the audience also gave warm applause, and the winner who attracted everyone's attention the most was Peter Schulz. He was only 30 years old, and most of them were over 36 years old. Among the winners of the Philippine Award, it is very prominent.

And he was also the most popular mathematician who won the Fields Medal before this conference, so he can also be regarded as a genius in the mathematics world.

After the Fields Medal was over, the conference continued with other projects until after eleven o'clock, when it finally came to an end.

However, at this time, something happened that made everyone dumbfounded, because the medal of a Fields Medal winner was stolen, and he put it in a briefcase, but the briefcase was not lost. The medal was lost.

This incident made everyone feel funny, and at the same time felt sympathy for the unlucky winner. The medal hadn't been warmed for half an hour, and it was gone in a blink of an eye.

The conference party also attached great importance to this, and immediately contacted the police, but they couldn't find it after a while.

As for that Professor Wiana, who learned about this matter, he dealt with it in a hurry. He doesn't like this kind of accident the most. Why do accidents always happen?

However, this can be regarded as a small episode. If you can't find it, the conference will issue a new medal to the winner later.

With the end of the opening ceremony, this International Congress of Mathematicians also entered the topic.

Reports and lectures came together. On August 8 alone, there were more than 2 reports and lectures, of which 40 were 45-minute reports. According to the original plan, Lin Xiao’s report was among these 34 , the degree of attention is obviously not as high as the one-hour report.

On August 8rd, there were also many reports, and not all the participants would read every report, including the plenary report. If the topic is not the field of interest or research, then basically It won't attract many people to see it.

However, after the Amy Noether lecture at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, whether it was resting in the hotel or the mathematicians who had listened to the lecture, almost all of them started to leave for the Rio Centro Convention and Exhibition Center Hall [-].

Because, there is a special report about to start, and the topic of the report is the precise prediction of the distribution law of Mersenne prime numbers.

A few days ago, when they all received emails from the organizing committee of this conference, they were all a little surprised, because it is rare for the conference to temporarily arrange a one-hour report, or even in previous conferences. It happened, especially when the email also introduced that what was supposed to be a 45-minute report turned into a one-hour report, which is even more rare.

However, when they saw the theme of this report, they all understood why the organizing committee made such arrangements.

For such an important achievement, it is true that only by temporarily arranging a one-hour report can it set off its status as a monument in the mathematics world.

The research on Mersenne prime numbers is too extensive in the mathematics field, and the prime number, something that mathematicians love and hate, really makes each of them want to explore the mystery.

What is the use of studying prime numbers?

There may be many people who have this kind of problem. Studying these numbers can neither feed people nor affect their lives, and Euclid also proved in his "Elements of Geometry" that there are infinitely many prime numbers, then What's the point of studying an infinite thing?

Probably at most, there can only be one thing related to the RSA cipher. The RSA cipher is realized by using the principle that it is difficult to decompose a large number of prime factors, such as multiplying a six-digit prime number by an eight-digit number. The prime numbers with the highest number of digits, get their product, and this product is obviously a large number.

Then use this large number as your own password. Only by entering these two prime factors can you pass the verification. If it is someone else, it is obviously difficult to decompose this large number into these two prime numbers.

But for mathematicians, their study of prime numbers is obviously not to develop RSA ciphers, but to challenge the peak of human intelligence.

The prime numbers are just there, they are like girls deliberately teasing the mathematicians, playing with their enchanting figures, telling the mathematicians "Come on, be happy", but when the mathematicians want to touch them , they will take another step back, and then put out a piece of paper with "Goldbach's conjecture", "Polygnac's conjecture", "Riemann's conjecture" and so on, so that mathematicians have to give up, In the end, you can only watch from a distance and not play with it.

And as long as these problems are successfully challenged, you can enjoy the fruits of victory. At the same time, this is also proving to mathematics, the universe, and even the illusory creator that human wisdom will continue to achieve breakthroughs, and Lieutenant General Touch the truth.

But now, that young man named Lin Xiao started announcing to all of them that he had solved one of the 'girls' problems called "The Distribution Law of Mersenne Prime Numbers", but if he wanted to enjoy this 'girl', he still had to It needs to be recognized by everyone, so they are here, and they want to witness with their own eyes whether human wisdom has really broken through such a level in the pyramid of prime numbers.
