From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 46 Say something. .

"correct."

Lin Xiao nodded again, looked at Xu Hongbing's puzzled face, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you leave that question for me?"

Xu Hongbing waved his hands again and again: "Are you kidding? It's an unsolved problem in mathematics. How could I leave it to you...wait?"

After saying this, Xu Hongbing was startled. That's right, this is an unsolved problem in mathematics. What did Lin Xiao say before?

He solved it?
He stared at Lin Xiao directly, and said in disbelief, "You said you... wrote it out?"

When Lin Xiao heard Xu Hongbing's words, he also stood there in a daze.

clam?
I accidentally wrote out the unsolved problems in mathematics?
Are you kidding me?
He looked at Xu Hongbing's staring eyes, and asked cautiously, "Didn't you leave me this question? But I saw it on the desk."

Xu Hongbing said angrily: "What is left for you, I left it for myself. I usually think about this problem when I have nothing to do. It has been several years."

"So I only left you two pieces of paper with eight questions, and no ninth question."

Lin Xiao touched his nose and scratched his head again. This is really... a bit unexpected.

"No wonder, I just said why this question is so difficult, it took me nine hours to write it."

Xu Hongbing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, you spent nine hours, do you know how much I spent?

Three years!
Do you know how much time I wasted these three years?
At least ninety hours.

You only spent nine hours, you say Jill.

Of course, Xu Hongbing didn't directly believe that Lin Xiao had really completed the proof. I don't know how many minkes said that they had proved Goldbach's conjecture every year, and some even wanted to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find other professors to verify it. The Chinese Academy of Sciences asked the gatekeeper to hold a few math problems in his hand, and asked these civil subjects to be put in correctly.

Of course, this does not mean that Xu Hongbing thinks that Lin Xiao is a civil subject. The previous eight questions have proved Lin Xiao's strength, and he wrote the four competition questions in seven to ten minutes. Among them, no one can do it, and how many people can do it?If Minke can do it right, it probably won't become a Minke.

He just felt that there might be some loopholes in Lin Xiao's proof process, but Lin Xiao didn't find it. After all, looking at the thickness of the stack of draft paper in Lin Xiao's hand, there were at least a dozen or twenty sheets, and there were some in the middle that were ignored. Errors are highly probable.

So he stretched out his hand and said to Lin Xiao, "Let me see how you prove it."

Lin Xiao handed the draft paper to Xu Hongbing.

Xu Hongbing was not in a hurry to see it, he raised his head to look at Lin Xiao, and reminded: "However, before that, are you sure you want to hand it over to me directly?"

Lin Xiao wondered: "Ah? Teacher, can't you do this?"

Xu Hongbing said: "If you really complete the proof, then your proof method is equivalent to being seen by me. If I publish the paper first according to your method, then I will have the honor of proving that the Fibonacci sequence has infinitely many prime numbers." , it belongs to me, even if you say later that you did it, probably no one will believe it, after all, you are a student and I am a professor of mathematics, and I have many friends who can prove that I have been researching this problem."

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands and said, "Teacher, you have already said that, so I believe you will not do this."

Xu Hongbing shook his head with a smile: "That's true, okay, then I thank you for your trust, but I still have to say, no matter whether you prove it successful or not, I will definitely not do that kind of thing. In addition, you Also know that if you really prove successful, then the honor you get, even IMONo.1 can't compare with it."

Lin Xiao nodded: "I know, thank you teacher."

Of course he is not stupid, he knows what it means to solve an unsolved problem in mathematics. After all, these unsolved problems that have been handed down have been studied by many mathematicians in the mathematics world, but they are still strong, which is enough to show the popularity of this kind of problem. difficulty.

Perhaps the problem he solved is not ranked among all the unsolved problems in the mathematics world, and it is not even well-known and difficult, but obviously it does not mean that it is not worth mentioning.

Solving any unsolved problem is enough to attract the attention of many people, and it is bound to receive countless honors.

As for IMO gold medals, there are dozens of people all over the world every year, which may be a huge honor for individuals, but compared to the "annual output" of dozens, it is not worth mentioning.

Xu Hongbing nodded slightly, said no more, and then turned his gaze to the stack of draft papers. First, he briefly flipped through it, and briefly glanced at Lin Xiao's proof process.

Many, and complex.

As for what kind of knowledge is used in it, Xu Hongbing has not yet determined, but he also has to admire in his heart, Lin Xiao can achieve this level only by self-study, which civil science can achieve this level?

Two days ago, he also saw an old classmate share a ghost from Minke Bar, saying that because people only fall to death from high places and fall to low places, this means that the lower the place, the greater the gravity, so the closer to the gravity of the earth The bigger it was, the more it made him laugh.

No longer thinking about Minke, Xu Hongbing turned to the last page, saw Lin Xiao's word 'Zhengbi', then turned back to the first page, and asked at the same time: "What did you think at the time, nine Hour, how do you prove it?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his nose and said, "I thought this was the task you left, so I tried it. I almost came up with an idea when I was in the middle, so I succeeded by accident. I am also worried that you will criticize me for the advanced algebra problem you asked, but I use other knowledge."

Xu Hongbing: "...you can criticize me, I was wrong."

Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Then how dare you?"

Xu Hongbing didn't bother to talk much, and looked at it seriously.

At the beginning, seeing Lin Xiao connect the prime number theorem with the characteristic polynomial of the Fibonacci sequence, he nodded in approval. This idea is very good, but how to figure out the relationship between them is a more complicated process.

Sure enough, the next 20 or so pages were all about studying how to connect these two formulas.

Xu Hongbing read more deeply, and at the same time put the draft paper on the table, found a new draft paper, and followed Lin Xiao's process to calculate.

Just like that, he flipped through the pages one by one, and his eyes became more and more shocked at the same time.

He couldn't find a single calculation or logic error!

……

until half an hour later.

Xu Hongbing gently put down the pen in his hand, as if remembering that he could breathe, took a deep breath, and then said to Lin Xiao: "You..."
