Chapter 101 Big Brother Qiu Gang treats you! The World Mathematical Center will definitely belong to China!
Lu Tao originally wanted to chase him out, but was stopped by Gao Mingzhou.
"Call Tang Feng and ask if those formulas have been derived. Besides, he is still a student after all. Accompany him and exchange the one million US dollars awarded by the International Association of Mathematicians into Chinese currency."
Gao Mingzhou ordered the other party.
"Okay." Lu Tao nodded and called Tang Feng.
"Tang Feng, this is Lu Tao. Academician Gao asked me to ask, have those formulas been derived?" Lu Tao asked.
"It has been deduced. However, the manuscripts are in the dormitory. I will send them to you in a while." Tang Feng replied.
"Okay! Let's go to the editorial office and wait for you." Lu Tao agreed.
"See you later!"
Immediately, the phone hung up.
"Mr. Gao, Tang Feng went back to the dormitory to get the manuscript, and we went to the editorial office to wait for him." Lu Tao said.
"Okay!" Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, "I really like this guy more and more."
"I didn't expect that he would reject Lawrence's invitation without hesitation. After all, the conditions promised by Lawrence must be very generous. If he goes to the beautiful country, he will be able to mobilize more resources." Lu Tao said.
"You are right! That's why I admire him even more. Under his leadership, I believe that Huaguo will be greatly improved in mathematics." Gao Mingzhou's eyes were full of expectation.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that he is not yet twenty years old and has already become a leading figure in the Chinese mathematics community!" Lu Tao couldn't help but sigh.
"This is talent! I think it won't take long for him to solve all the remaining mathematical problems. By then, he will be the well-deserved number one person in mathematics!" Gao Mingzhou said.
"We have to learn from him. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he will not have time to solve all mathematical problems. If our mathematics level improves, we can solve some mathematics with a lower difficulty coefficient.
Problem." Lu Tao said.
"Yeah." Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, "Our mathematics department can hold a brainstorming session every week. At that time, no matter what problems everyone encounters, they can raise them and then work out solutions together. If we all
If there is no way to solve it, go to Tang Feng for help. Otherwise, for him, many problems are just a waste of time."
While they were chatting, Tang Feng walked in from outside.
He was holding a bag in his hand.
He put the bag on the table and took out all the manuscripts inside!
Almost three hundred pages.
The draft Tang Feng used to solve the np-complete problem was only about fifty pages.
The remaining two hundred and fifty pages are used to derive the formulas involved.
It is conceivable that if Tang Feng had not derived these formulas, Gao Mingzhou and others would not have been able to understand how Tang Feng solved the np-complete problem.
Gao Mingzhou took a brief look.
He felt a little headache.
Perhaps it was because of his old age that he was already a little unable to cope with so many symbols.
"Mr. Gao, are you okay?" Lu Tao asked quickly.
"It's okay." Gao Mingzhou shook his head and said, "You call to organize manpower and start verification tomorrow."
"I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower now. Can you ask the Chinese Mathematicians Association to help coordinate mathematicians from some universities and scientific research institutes to do this together." Lu Tao discussed with the other party.
"The current president of the Chinese Mathematicians Association is Qiu Gang. Tang Feng just rejected him, so he may not be willing to help." Gao Mingzhou was a little worried.
"Although Academician Qiu Gang is very domineering, his character is still okay. Why don't you give him a call and see if he is willing to help?" Lu Tao suggested.
"Okay!" Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, "I'll call him right away."
Unexpectedly, just when he was about to make a call, his cell phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and looked very surprised.
"It seems that he didn't mention other people's names casually. We were discussing Academician Qiu Gang here, and he called."
After he said this, he pressed the answer button.
"Old Gao! You didn't expect me to call you!" Qiu Gang said with a smile.
"You may not believe it! I was about to call you, but your call came over." Gao Mingzhou said.
"Really? You called me, what's the matter?" Qiu Gang asked.
"You speak first. When you finish speaking, it won't be too late for me to speak again." Gao Mingzhou replied.
"I called Lawrence just now and wanted to invite him to dinner tonight. Who knew he said he was not in the mood and would fly back to the beautiful country soon. I asked why and found out that it was Tang Feng from your school who rejected his invitation. I
I'm calling you just to verify with you whether this is true?" Qiu Gang explained his purpose.
"Of course it's true! Lawrence came to Tang Feng this time. The bonus is secondary. The most important thing is to persuade him to study in a beautiful country." Gao Mingzhou said with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that this guy has quite a bit of backbone! An ordinary person would have agreed to Lawrence's conditions long ago!" Qiu Gang couldn't help but admire.
"Who says otherwise! Originally, I was worried that he would accept Lawrence's invitation, but I didn't expect that he would reject it so simply! Lawrence was so angry that he just walked away!" Gao Mingzhou smiled happily.
"I have to say, your school is really lucky to have picked up a treasure like Tang Feng! Originally, I was angry that he rejected my invitation, but I didn't expect that he even rejected Lawrence. My anger immediately disappeared.
Most of it!" Qiu Gang couldn't help laughing when he said this.
"Tang Feng also told Lawrence that the center of world mathematics would return to China! I also believe that under his leadership, the level of our Chinese mathematics community will definitely improve a lot," Gao Mingzhou said.
"That's for sure! His current mathematical level is higher than that of us bad old men! After I came back, I read his papers carefully several times! His proof process is very concise, with almost no
There are extra steps. If it were me, I would probably have to write hundreds of pages more. Of course, I have not proved the strength of the Riemann Hypothesis." Qiu Gang's words were full of admiration for Tang Feng.
"Mr. Qiu, Tang Feng's mathematics level is really high. As the older generation of mathematicians, we are far behind him. But in terms of life experience, we are definitely much richer than him. We can
Let’s learn from each other’s strengths, learn from each other, and make progress together. What do you think?” Gao Mingzhou asked with a smile.
"That's right!" Qiu Gang nodded and said, "I should really learn more from him. I acted a little impulsively before, always thinking about making the mathematics department of Shuimu University surpass that of Jingcheng University. Now look at it.
Come on, my layout is still a bit small."
"To be honest, the main reason is that our mathematics level is not high enough. No matter whether it is Beijing University or Shuimu University, no matter how well it develops, it will be difficult to become a mathematics center in the world. Therefore, we should join forces and strive to become a mathematics center in the Tang Dynasty.
Under the leadership of Feng Feng, the center of world mathematics will return to China." Gao Mingzhou said.
"Yes. We should cooperate sincerely. Please help me contact Tang Feng. I would like to find a time to invite him to a meal and let us sit down and have a good chat." Qiu Gang took the initiative.
"He is with me now. When do you want to treat me? Let me tell him." Gao Mingzhou asked with a smile.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it. How about today at noon?" Qiu Gang discussed with the other party.
"Let me ask him if he has time first." Gao Mingzhou turned around, looked at Tang Feng, and asked, "Do you have time at noon? Academician Qiu Gang would like to treat you to dinner."
"Can you bring my girlfriend? I made an appointment with her to have dinner together at noon." Tang Feng suggested.
"No problem!" Gao Mingzhou agreed.
Then, he said to Qiu Gang: "Classmate Tang Feng promised to have dinner together at noon. Where will it be?"
"How about the reception center in our school? If we go out to eat, I'm afraid of heavy traffic jams and a waste of time." Qiu Gang discussed with the other party.
"Okay! Let's meet at the entrance of the reception center later!" Gao Mingzhou agreed.
"By the way, didn't you just say you were going to call me? What's the matter?" Qiu Gang suddenly remembered.
"We'll talk about it later," Gao Mingzhou replied.
"Okay! See you later!"
call ended.
"Tang Feng, should you call your girlfriend now and ask her to come out of the library?" Gao Mingzhou discussed with Tang Feng.
"I'd better pick her up. The library is not far away, and I'm afraid she won't be able to hear me when I call." Tang Feng responded.
"Okay! We'll wait for you at the south gate of the school. We'll go together then." Gao Mingzhou said with a smile.
Then, Tang Feng left here in a hurry.
"Mr. Lin, do you see that? This is love! No matter where you go, you want to take the other person with you." Gao Mingzhou couldn't help but sigh.
"The main thing is that Tang Feng has a good relationship with his girlfriend. However, a boy as outstanding as Tang Feng will probably have many suitors. As his girlfriend, there must be a lot of pressure." Lin Zhiyuan said.
"That's for sure! Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you are too good, there will definitely be many suitors. We all came here when we were young, and we have experienced a lot of temptations." Gao Ming
Zhou laughed.
"It is really not easy to resist these temptations. But I still hope that Tang Feng can focus more on his career instead of spending all day long on his children." Lin Zhiyuan said.
"This is not something we bad old men can take care of. Let's go to the south gate of the school and wait for them." Gao Mingzhou said.
Then, the group left the editorial office.
Tang Feng has also arrived at the south gate with Su Xiaoli from the library.
When Su Xiaoli saw Gao Mingzhou and others, she quickly stepped forward and said hello.
"You two are really a golden couple! You are so perfect together! It's so enviable!" Gao Mingzhou did not hesitate to express his praises.
"Just now I saw the eyes of the students passing by, and their eyes were full of envy." Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile.
Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli looked at each other and smiled sheepishly.
Then, under the leadership of Gao Mingzhou, the group went to the reception center of Shuimu University.
When they arrived, Qiu Gang was already waiting at the door.
In addition to Qiu Gang, there were two old people about the same age as him.
After Qiu Gang's introduction, Tang Feng learned that the two old men were also senior professors in the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University.
After some pleasantries, everyone arrived at the arranged private room.
Qiu Gang asked everyone to sit down.
"Mr. Gao, Mr. Lin, do you want something to drink at noon?" Qiu Gang offered.
"No." Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan shook their heads in unison.
"Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?" Qiu Gang was a little confused.
"We are going to study Tang Feng's manuscript carefully in the afternoon." Gao Mingzhou replied.
"Are you talking about the manuscript of the Riemann Hypothesis? Can you let me take a look?" Qiu Gang suddenly became interested.
"It's not the Riemann Hypothesis, it's an NP-complete problem. I was planning to call you earlier because I also wanted to say this." Gao Mingzhou replied.
"What did you say?" Qiu Gang's expression suddenly changed, and his tone rose an octave.
"Mr. Lin, have you seen that? Mr. Qiu's reaction now is exactly the same as ours at that time." Gao Mingzhou said with a smile.
"Mr. Gao, do you mean that Tang Feng has solved the NPC problem?" Qiu Gang asked impatiently.
He seemed very excited.
"Yes." Gao Mingzhou nodded and said, "Now the manuscript is in our hands. We are ready to organize manpower to verify the paper completed by Tang Feng."
"Oh my God! Classmate Tang Feng, you are so awesome! If I remember correctly, it has been less than a month since you completed the proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, right?" Qiu Gang couldn't believe his ears.
!
After all, whether it is the Riemann Hypothesis or the NP-complete problem, no one has been able to conquer it in hundreds of years since its inception!
Fortunately for Tang Feng, at such a young age, he managed to conquer two world-class mathematical problems in such a short period of time!
Horrible! It’s really terrible!
"It's a month at most. The main reason is that our verification time is relatively long, otherwise it shouldn't take so long." Before Tang Feng could speak, Gao Mingzhou had already answered first.
"Mr. Qiu, when Lawrence invited me to the beautiful country, I once told him that the center of world mathematics will return to China! My words are definitely not empty words! In the next period of time, I will continue to
Overcome new mathematical problems! Of course, you can also conduct research and demonstration around the mathematical problems I have overcome. I believe it will also be of great benefit to improving your mathematical level." Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
"Mr. Gao, have you brought the manuscript? Can you let me have a look?" Qiu Gang was impatient.
Gao Mingzhou took out the manuscript Tang Feng gave him.
A thick pile!
Qiu Gang's hands couldn't help but tremble!
He took it carefully!
In such a short time, he would definitely not be able to finish it.
And many formulas require a pen to be calculated.
It is almost impossible to do calculations simply by relying on your brain.
What's more, he is already old, and his memory and calculation skills are not as good as before.
However, he persisted in watching for a while.
"Tang Feng, I would like to ask, how long did it take you to solve the np-complete problem?" Qiu Gang asked with interest.
"It only takes more than three hours to solve the np-complete problem. In addition, I used a lot of formulas in the proof process. It took me almost another day to derive all these formulas." Tang Feng replied.
"What did you say? More than three hours?" Qiu Gang suddenly stood up!
He really couldn't believe it!
Three hours, if it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to write even one page.
Tang Feng's mathematical ability was far beyond his imagination.
"Yes." Tang Feng nodded and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Professor Lu. At that time, I fell into a coma due to excessive brain use, and he was the one who sent me back to the dormitory."
Qiu Gang's eyes fell on Lu Tao.
"I can testify that what Tang Feng said is true. He did solve the np-complete problem at that time. But in order to save time, he directly used some formulas. Because I couldn't understand these formulas at all, I had to let him
All deduced. Otherwise, we may need to spend longer time during verification," Lu Tao said.
"Perhaps there is no way to verify it at all. Not only does it take a lot of time to derive those formulas, but it is also very likely that the final result cannot be derived. This was the case when the Riemann Hypothesis was verified last time. If it weren't for Tang Feng who would be involved in it
If the formula is deduced, we will definitely not be able to complete the verification until now." Gao Mingzhou added a few words.
"Classmate Tang Feng, I'm really curious, how did you come up with these formulas?" Qiu Gang's face was full of doubts.
At this moment, in front of Tang Feng, he was like a child full of curiosity.
Desire to get the answers you want.
"Maybe it's because I often have random thoughts, so it accumulated slowly." Tang Feng made up a random reason.
"What a random thought! Classmate Tang Feng, your talent in mathematics is unparalleled in the whole world. I used to think that I could be your teacher and work with you to conquer world-class mathematics."
Difficult question! Now it seems that it is really funny. Your mathematics level is enough to be my teacher." Qiu Gang said sincerely.
"Mr. Qiu, you are flattering me. As the saying goes, if we are a threesome, I must be my teacher. Although my talent in mathematics is pretty good, I still need to learn more from you in other aspects." Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Not only are you outstandingly talented, but you are also so humble. You are truly a role model for contemporary young people! Come here, classmate Tang Feng, let me offer you a drink with tea instead of wine!"
Qiu Gang said as he raised the tea cup in front of him.
When Tang Feng saw this, he quickly stood up.
Their glasses clinked.
Then everyone drinks it.
"Mr. Qiu, let's talk about business first. Now that Tang Feng has solved the np complete problem, the next step is to verify it. As you know, schools have started and teachers are teaching students. If you want to rely on us
I am afraid that the teaching staff of the school's mathematics department may not be able to complete the verification in a short period of time. So I would like to ask for your help to see if we can gather manpower and seize the time to verify these manuscripts of Tang Feng." Gao Mingzhou expressed his thoughts.
Said it out.
"No problem! This is a very important thing for our entire mathematics community! Once the verification is successful, it means that the level of the Chinese mathematics community has improved a lot! I will start making phone calls soon, trying to get
Call in more people." Qiu Gang agreed happily.
"The verification work will start tomorrow, is it too late?" Gao Mingzhou discussed with the other party.
"Tomorrow? How can we wait until tomorrow! We will finish the meal soon and start verification! Although there are few people now, we can't relax. As long as these mathematicians in the capital are here, they can definitely participate this afternoon. Mathematicians from other places can definitely participate.
, they will arrive one after another tomorrow." Qiu Gang made a decision quickly.
He knows very well in his heart! Time waits for no one!
Although the np completeness problem has not been solved since its inception.
But there are many mathematical research institutions around the world who are trying to find ways to overcome this mathematical problem!
No one knows when it will be conquered!
Therefore, we must seize the time, complete the verification as quickly as possible, and then publish it!
Only in this way can we ensure nothing goes wrong!
"In this case, we will go back and make arrangements later. Such a large number of manuscripts will definitely require everyone's concerted efforts to complete them." Gao Mingzhou agreed.
"Try to complete the verification within three days. Student Tang Feng, if there are any questions that we don't understand during this period, we have to ask you for help." Qiu Gang said humbly.
"Mr. Qiu, you are serious. In the next three days, I will complete the verification work with you." Tang Feng took the initiative.
"Can your girlfriend agree?" Qiu Gang's eyes fell on Su Xiaoli.
"I will definitely go all out to support his work! It's a pity that my mathematical ability is limited, otherwise I would also like to help." Su Xiaoli replied quickly.
"Can you help organize the information? Tang Feng's work efficiency will definitely be higher with you by his side." Qiu Gang gave suggestions.
"Is it okay?" Su Xiaoli was suddenly overjoyed.
"Of course! As long as you are willing." Qiu Gang replied.
After finishing the meal, Gao Mingzhou and others took a step back and went back to make preparations.
