That afternoon, Wang Hao did not go to the lecture hall again.
He gave a report for more than three hours in a row and wrote proofs on the whiteboard. His wrists felt a little sore and his whole body was very tired.
Later, I had to deal with a lot of scholars who came. After the excitement of completing the proof passed, I returned to the big bed in the hotel. As soon as I closed my eyes, it was eight o'clock in the evening and I was woken up by Zhang Zhiqiang.
The two of them went to have dinner together, then returned to the room and continued to rest.
At this time, Wang Hao was in much better spirits, and Wang Hao also had time to take stock of his harvest.
[Complete S-level difficulty research and development and obtain 3,000 teaching coins. 】
A simple tip is the biggest gain. After completing S-level difficulty research and development, you can earn 3,000 points of teaching coins. The number of teaching coins jumped to '4501' points. Just seeing this number, he couldn't help but grin.
smile.
The previous accumulation speed of teaching coins was too slow. It was so slow that you would lose money if you didn't complete the tasks. I gained 3,000 points at once, and I felt like I had suddenly become a nouveau riche.
"It's still difficult tasks with high returns!" Wang Hao thought with some expectancy, "The study of prime number distribution is a general direction of number theory. It does not necessarily only complete one piece of research and development. It can also be continued and regarded as a long-term task.
, slowly accumulate inspiration points, and there will definitely be results!"
He started to look forward to it.
The next morning, Wang Hao regained his energy and continued to attend the report meeting at the venue.
There were still many people saying hello on the road, and some people came over to say hello. He was used to it. He just said a few words to people and then entered Hall 2.
This time, Wang Hao did not sit in the front row, but found a corner seat in the third row. Being a little more 'secret' would reduce a lot of trouble.
He hoped to accumulate some inspiration points by listening to the reports. He did not need to participate in the review work, and it would be more comfortable to sit in the back.
"Is there anyone here?" came an English question with a heavy nasal accent from the side.
Wang Hao turned his head and saw a strangely dressed man. He had a red scarf on his forehead and long curly hair that had a strange smell. He was wearing a denim jacket with a red cartoon-patterned vest exposed at the chest.
"rock singer?"
Wang Hao complained in his mind, but nodded and said, "No one."
"Thanks."
The weird man was very polite. After sitting down, he kept hunching his shoulders and pursed his lips vigorously, as if he was a little nervous to adapt to the environment.
After the report on the stage started, the weird man didn't seem to be listening seriously, but looked over at Wang Hao frequently. When Wang Hao turned his head, he immediately put his eyes on the stage, pretending not to
The way he turned his head.
"Are you okay?" Wang Hao couldn't hold back and asked directly.
The weird man seemed startled, then turned around and looked over. He was silent for a while and finally said, "Are you Wang Hao? Is this Wang Hao who gave the report at noon yesterday?"
"I am."
"oh."
The weird man seemed to have confirmed the message, then turned his head and continued to look at the stage.
The other party just asked and did not continue talking. Wang Hao simply listened to the report carefully.
After a while, the weird man seemed to have thought of something and spoke again, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Patrick Roche, you can call me Patrick." He also emphasized, "We are mutually exclusive.
After the introduction, you should be able to call me by my name."
"Hello, Patrick."
"Hello."
Patrick Roche seemed to be interested in talking, and suddenly asked a strange question, "Are you married?"
"……No."
"I think so. I've seen your profile and you're only twenty-five years old. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"...No?" Wang Hao hugged his chest and squeezed back, looking to the side to see if there was any room left, wondering if he should move to another seat?
Patrick Roche seemed to become happy when he heard Wang Hao say he didn't have a girlfriend. His words obviously increased, "I don't have a girlfriend either. I've always wanted to find a girlfriend, but you should understand, like
Very few women like our kind of nerds."
"A while ago, a cousin of mine introduced me to her colleague Emil, who is Hispanic and not bad looking, but very fat. She said she weighs two hundred pounds (180+ pounds)."
"Then what?" Wang Hao was curious about the ending of this story.
"She doesn't want to be my girlfriend."
"puff!"
Patrick Roche was indifferent to Wang Hao's gaffe, "I knew you would react this way, but it doesn't matter. Although she said she wouldn't be with me, she didn't refuse to go to my house, and once she even let me go to her house.
Home is really warm..."
He continued, "I tell you this story because I want to comfort you. It doesn't matter if you can't find a girlfriend. There will always be unexpected surprises for you."
"Why do you think I'm the same as you?"
Patrick Roche said matter-of-factly, "You are twenty-five years old and a mathematician, of course."
"Okay, I won't hit you anymore."
He changed the topic, "I listened to your report yesterday. I didn't understand the proof of Artin's constant, but I'm not interested either. However, your new algorithm is very interesting. Have you ever thought about its applications?
What’s the problem?”
"Rubik's cube? Or for data analysis?"
"That's certainly not the best application." Patrick Roche said, "You should have heard of my name, right? I'm still somewhat famous."
"Forehead……"
Wang Hao struggled for a moment on whether he had heard of it or not. In order not to offend the weirdo in front of him, he nodded and said, "I have heard of it."
"Of course, many people know me because I found the 51st Mersenne prime number. You have researched prime numbers, and you should have used GIMPS to find Mersenne prime numbers, right?"
Wang Hao suddenly knew who Patrick Roche was. His name could be seen in many news about Mersenne prime numbers.
Patrick Roche is the discoverer of the 51st Mersenne prime number.
This is amazing.
Mersenne prime numbers refer to prime numbers that conform to the expression ‘2 to the nth power minus one’, where n is a prime number, and the expression can be understood as ‘2 to the power of prime minus one’.
Obviously, the larger the Mersenne prime number, the harder it is to find it. If the number is too large, it will be difficult to calculate.
So far, the scientific community has only found 51 Mersenne primes, and the latest 51st Mersenne prime was found by Patrick Roche through the GIMPS shared network search activity for Mersenne primes.
This latest Mersenne prime number is 2 raised to the power of 82,589,933 minus one, and the specific number of digits is as high as 24,862,048 digits.
Patrick Roche didn't want to show off his achievements. He just mentioned it to show that he knew Mersenne prime numbers and the GIMPS mechanism very well. Then he said, "I think your algorithm can be used to verify prime numbers. It's just a method."
Feeling, I'm not sure either. As the creator of the algorithm, you will definitely know more about it. Maybe you can design a new method of finding prime numbers and simplify the existing calculation procedures."
"I have always thought that the efficiency of that program was very low. It was designed 20 years ago. There has been no progress in 20 years."
Patrick Roche said seriously, "If you can simplify the algorithm, you must tell me first. I want to be more familiar with it, so that I can find the next Mersenne prime first."
His tone was very serious.
Wang Hao asked with some confusion, "Why are you so obsessed with finding Mersenne prime numbers?"
"One hundred thousand dollars!" Patrick Roche answered matter-of-factly. "If you could take another one hundred thousand dollars, put some of it in your hand, and walk down the street, there would definitely be women who would throw themselves into your arms, right?
"
"Won't you get robbed?" Wang Hao's eyes were full of confusion.
Patrick Roche asked in surprise, "How did you know I had this experience?"
"Uh~~"
…
Wang Hao stayed in the lecture hall all morning. He only gained a little inspiration value, but he still fully participated in the entire meeting.
I went back to the hotel at noon to pack my luggage, and then I could leave directly in the afternoon.
The academic conference also has a closing ceremony, but the scholars who came are not required to attend. Most of the scholars left early. They did not want to go through any official procedures. Wang Hao and Zhang Zhiqiang had booked tickets for the afternoon, so they simply waited.
In the hotel, we went directly to the airport at about the same time. The closing ceremony and the like were really not important.
To be continued...
