Chapter 310: The most talented person in history(1/2)
Anti-gravity technology was proposed by Tesla many years ago, and even the Utron engine was proposed for this reason.
As the saying goes, if you are half a step ahead, you are a genius; if you are one step ahead, you are a madman.
Tesla, however, was several generations ahead of his time and was definitely the lunatic among lunatics.
But now, Zhou Jimin wants to follow in the footsteps of this madman and wants to turn the legendary anti-gravity technology into a reality.
Antia and others thought he was crazy, but when they saw the equation, they were speechless for a long time.
I have to admit that Zhou Jimin’s talent in this area is indeed incredible.
However, no matter how contrary to heaven, he is still a mortal, not a god.
Can anti-gravity technology really be realized in our lifetime?
"Alban, do you know how much this will cost? And do you have so much time?"
Suddenly, Brig asked a question.
This gentleman is a Moscow mathematician from the Luji Kingdom. He is very talented in mathematics and physics. Although he is only thirty-three years old, his achievements in mathematics and physics are enough to defeat many people.
At a young age, Bregg was already a professor of mathematics at the Sorbonne University. He also received a doctorate in number theory from the University of Oxford, so he had very strong qualifications.
Zhou Jimin smiled and said:
"I don't know if you have heard of Philip? You have, right? That's great, but I guess you haven't heard of Iris Laboratory?"
Antia and several older people were shocked and even moved their bodies back a little.
"You work for Iris Labs?"
Boleg and others, who didn't quite understand what was going on, became confused.
They don't quite understand why Antia and the others reacted so violently when they heard about the people in Iris Laboratory. They were simply frightened.
Zhou Jimin has a lot of say in this regard.
"Of course I won't work for that kind of rubbish laboratory, but I heard Philip and the others talking about this laboratory..."
Then, Zhou Jimin briefly talked about the countless things that this laboratory has done in the past.
Then, the conversation changed and they mentioned the utopian June Fourth town where Philip and the others currently work.
He just briefly described the general situation of the June 4th town and talked about a few basic projects currently underway, but did not go into detail.
However, as for the scenery of the June Fourth town, he directly took out pictures of scenery with four distinct seasons.
There are about dozens of photos, all of them showing Philip and his Alban vest.
When everyone looked at those photos, their hearts suddenly became excited.
For no other reason than this environment, they fell in love with it.
Moreover, Antia had heard about Philip before and knew that the latter had gone to the Iris Laboratory.
However, Antia doesn’t know what happens next.
After all, in this era, information transmission is very slow. If we rely on letters, it will take several months at the earliest. Sometimes, it takes half a year or even several years to receive letters from overseas.
Not to mention, Philip and others lost contact after entering the Iris laboratory.
Unexpectedly, I went to a utopian place.
"Alban, you've been there, what do you think of that place?"
"Freedom does not exist. I can only say that that place is definitely the ultimate pursuit of scholars."
Facing Brig's question, Zhou Jimin paused and then said:
"I've been there for a while, and the academic atmosphere there is the only one I've ever seen in my life. If it weren't for participating in this conference, I wouldn't have left there..."
"Then if I want to join, how do I apply?"
Bregg couldn't help but ask. He was very excited. If he could participate in scientific research projects such as anti-gravity technology, it would not only be a matter of qualifications, but also use what he had learned in his life to implement the legendary technology, just like a mortal.
You can also become a god, and the temptation is not ordinary.
"It's not that simple. This place is not something you can just go to if you want to."
Hearing this, Zhou Jimin shook his head and said:
"The person who manages Philip and the others is called Boss Panda. This person is very powerful. He helped solve all external problems such as water and electricity in that place, but he is also willing to listen to Philip and the others' opinions..."
"No one in that place wants the strong academic atmosphere and peaceful life to be broken..."
"Therefore, they will strictly screen outsiders. First of all, they must be able to endure loneliness..."
There are many screening conditions, but they basically meet the expectations of Antia, Bregg and others.
The so-called ability to endure loneliness means that you can do scientific research with peace of mind and don’t think about it.
For scholars like them, this is the sound of nature.
After all, even as the youngest professor at the Sorbonne, Bregg was always disturbed by various things when he was at school. It was impossible to concentrate on scientific research.
Therefore, Antia and the others do not regard this request as a requirement, but more like a benefit.
The second requirement is to cut off contact with the outside world. This is a detailed explanation of the first requirement. Everyone has no opinion on this.
Anyway, many people who engage in mathematics research are otakus and have little contact with the outside world.
Besides, when you enter that place, with seniors like Philip and people like Zhou Jimin, even if you encounter problems, there will be a lot of powerful people to ask for advice.
Then there are the ability requirements, which most of the people here meet.
There are also requirements in terms of character, and peace-loving.
In short, it seems very simple, but in fact, not many people want to meet the above requirements.
"Maybe you think that in such a wonderful utopia-like place where everyone can join, you are thinking too much. As I just said, most of the people who came to participate in this conference have been kicked out.
It’s…”
Picking up the cup and taking a sip of water, Zhou Jimin continued:
"Besides, I just invited you. Whether Boss Panda will let you join is beyond my control."
"Okay, it's still early to say this now. It's already very late. I have to make a report tomorrow."
After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses, got up and left one after another.
However, this night, some people are destined to be unable to sleep.
Should I say it or not, the scene described by Zhou Jimin just now has been deeply imprinted in the minds of Brig and others.
Not to mention the environment of the small town on June 4th, just the anti-gravity and other technologies mentioned by Zhou Jimin, as well as the mathematical problems, were very attractive.
Especially the older professors such as Antia, they are looking forward to it.
Although mathematics is the foundation of all subjects, there is another way of saying that mathematics is just a tool to explain other subjects.
In other words, it is actually difficult to make good use of mathematics to help the real world.
Especially for theoretical researchers, it is even more difficult for them.
However, Zhou Jimin gave them a chance.
In addition, the many mathematics topics mentioned by Zhou Jimin, as well as the papers he wrote in the past year, have been widely recognized.
If you study it in depth, you might actually be able to succeed.
Once successful, it will be an earth-shattering event.
Not to mention other things, anti-gravity technology alone is enough to cause shock in the scientific community.
Turning around, it was Zhou Jimin’s report. The latest theoretical research on the Hodge conjecture did not prove the Hodge conjecture, but put forward a hypothesis, or a tool, to solve the conjecture.
The Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem in algebraic geometry.
It is a conjecture about the connection between the algebraic topology of non-singular complex algebraic varieties and their geometry expressed by the polynomial equations that define sub-varieties.
Before proposing this tool, Zhou Jimin published two papers respectively in algebra and geometry, both of which were of very high quality and solved several subdivision problems raised by predecessors in the Hodge conjecture.
Before the report meeting even started, there were many senior executives in the front row.
Yinwan Petrovsky, the chairman of this conference, is sitting at the front, chatting with several other friends.
Who knows, at this time, a staff member hurried over and whispered something in Petrovsky's ear, which made her stand up in surprise.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, I just received a call. The other party came by plane this morning..."
"Let's go, I'm going to greet you."
"Old friend, what's wrong?"
Noslav looked at Petrovsky in surprise, not quite understanding why she was so excited?
"William Hodge is here. He just got off the plane and is probably almost here."
Hiss!
Hearing Petrovsky's words, Noslav also took a breath of cold air, then stood up, preparing to go outside to greet William Hodge.
