Chapter 56 [Results of Calculation] (Please follow up)
  "Although I don't want to use the word genius casually, this word should be the most suitable for him. I heard that the professor also pointed out that Shi Hong is a talent that is rare in fifty years or even a hundred years. Although he chose different departments, his Even our physics department has heard of his excellence. He always stays in the research room in the middle of the night, solving difficult problems with just pen and paper. That back view is so impressive that he even earned the title of Bodhidharma unknowingly, but of course this is A title that expresses respect.”

……

Is Shi Hong a once-in-a-century mathematical genius?

Mr. Lu was still shocked when he read this passage in the novel.

Yes, it was shocking!
  It was hard for him to imagine that he would see a world-wide mathematical problem here, and the formula for Euler's conjecture was given a counterexample.

When he first noticed the string of numbers, he just looked at the sum of the fourth power of the single digits of the long number. Unexpectedly, it was equal to the fourth power of the single digits on the other side of the formula.

This got him interested.

If the numbers were written casually, would the single digits just coincidentally appear to be the same?

If even single digits are wrong, then there is no need for him to verify this counterexample.

But the results that appeared now surprised and surprised him.

Is this really possible?

Mr. Lu looked at the manuscript paper on which he calculated. He had verified it several times, and the results obtained every time were correct.

2682440^4+ 15365639^4+ 187960^4，是真的等于20615673^4！

Although this is just Euler's conjecture. When n≥4, the equation: X^n+ Y^n+ Z^n= W^n has no solution.

However, now Shi Hong has indeed given a counterexample to this equation.

This is incredible.

It’s really beyond imagination!

You must know that until now, no one in the world has given the answer, but now this mathematician named Shi Hong has actually solved it.

No, this is not what Bodhidharma Shihong explained.

What is the name of the author of this novel?

Mr. Lu looked forward again and noticed the author's name, which had three words written clearly -

Lin Youcheng!
  The person who solved Euler's conjecture when n≥4, the equation: X^n+ Y^n+ Z^n= W^n, was Lin Youcheng.

Mr. Lu was very surprised and looked at the author's name blankly.

Because Mr. Lu was calculating at first, Teacher Lin on the side did not disturb him. Now seeing the surprised expression on Mr. Lu’s face, he didn’t know what there was that should surprise Mr. Lu.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

Mr. Lu looked at Teacher Lin who asked this question and asked, "Is this Comrade Lin Youcheng a mathematician?"

Teacher Lin was stunned. He did not expect Mr. Lu to ask this question. He was very surprised. When he looked at the "Novel Monthly" placed in front of Mr. Lu, he happened to turn to the page of "The Devotion of Suspect X", and he was even more surprised. Accident.

"Mr. Lu, have you also read the article "The Devotion of Suspect X"? How about it? Isn't it ridiculous? It's too much to write about mathematicians killing people!"

Mr. Lu shook his head, dissatisfied with Teacher Lin's answer, and asked again, "Is that Comrade Lin Youcheng a mathematician?"

"what?"

Teacher Lin was confused by Mr. Lu's question, shook his head and said, "No, he is a writer."

"What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"

Teacher Lin realized that there seemed to be something wrong with Mr. Lu's expression, and he didn't know what was wrong. Obviously, he didn't think about the counterexample to Euler's conjecture at all.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Lu looked at Teacher Lin and said, "He wrote Euler's conjecture in his novel."

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Teacher Lin hasn't realized the question yet, or rather the answer.

Mr. Lu's expression became serious and he said seriously: "That counterexample is correct." Which counterexample is correct?

Teacher Lin was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Mr. Lu meant. He opened his eyes wide instantly, looked at Mr. Lu in shock, and asked: "Mr. Lu, you mean, he wrote casually in the novel Is that math answer correct?!”

Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "That was not written casually."

"That answer is correct."

Hearing what Mr. Lu said, Teacher Lin was even more confused. It was like a bolt of lightning split his whole body apart, and he blurted out: "How is that possible!"

"How can he possibly figure it out!"

"There is absolutely no way he can solve Euler's conjecture!"

Teacher Lin was completely shocked. He didn't believe what Mr. Lu said at all. The counterexample to Euler's conjecture that appeared in the mystery novel was actually correct?
  How is this possible!
  Euler said that equation has no solution. It has not been proven for so many years. I have always believed it. How could it be solved by an ordinary writer.

This is absolutely impossible!

Teacher Lin felt that he had been shocked and also hurt to a certain extent. He took the "Novel Monthly" on the table and quickly turned to the answer that he had ignored. He had not looked at this string of numbers before. I think it's just a random number written by the author for the plot of the novel.

Naturally, he wouldn't go out of his way to calculate and verify it like Mr. Lu. It could be said that he didn't look at the numbers carefully at all.

Because in his heart it is not worth looking at at all, it must be wrong, there is no need to check it at all, it must be the wrong answer.

now--

Teacher Lin took the manuscript paper on the table and began to calculate frantically.

In just the first moment, Teacher Lin realized the same idea as Mr. Lu, that the fourth power of single digits was equal.

This does not seem to be a random string of numbers.

Teacher Lin also realized that something was wrong. He didn't notice that the single digits were equal at first.

If the single digits are equal because the author deliberately made up the numbers, then——

Teacher Lin had to admit that the author had indeed written this novel carefully.

However, now things seem to be more than just intentions.

When Mr. Lu saw Teacher Lin checking the counterexample in his novel, he didn't want to disturb it. He knew that such an answer would have to be calculated by himself to see whether it was correct or not.

Mr. Lu took the "Novel Monthly" again and flipped through Lin Youcheng's "The Devotion of Suspect X", and couldn't help but smile.

He now feels that the story he wrote is quite interesting.

Of course, in Mr. Lu's opinion, the most interesting thing is the mathematical answer.

In his eyes, the mathematical answer was so harmonious, so full of beauty, so touching.

As for Teacher Lin on the side, he lowered his head and was still checking and calculating.

Then, after repeatedly checking and calculating——

Teacher Lin suddenly raised his head and looked at Mr. Lu in shock. His eyes were full of disbelief and horror, and he said nothing.

Because he was speechless.

His hands were even shaking, and the hairs all over his body stood up uncontrollably.

The final calculation results are clearly written on the manuscript paper——

2682440^4+ 15365639^4+ 187960^4
  =20615673
  Completely correct!
