Compared with the academic atmosphere and level, there is no comparison between the current Tokyo Imperial University and European universities. It should be said that there is a huge gap.
There were so many people present, and not all of them were science and engineering students, there were many from other majors, and of course many people came to join in the fun.
Therefore, Li Yu cannot talk about anything too profound, and is only going to briefly talk about chat literature and the recently popular "fractals and chaos".
Hantaro Nagaoka made the opening remarks. Although Li Yu is now very famous, when the people below heard that he was from China, there was only sparse applause, and most of them came from Chinese.
The Japanese's discrimination against the Chinese began long ago and will continue until a hundred years later.
It stands to reason that China, Japan and South Korea should be united like the European Union. Unfortunately, due to historical reasons and the obstruction of the United States, there is basically no hope in the short term. The key point is that the West does not want to see a united East.
Li Yu didn't pay much attention to the following reaction, and directly started talking about the observation and calculation methods of Pluto, as well as the beginning of the fractal theory.
But soon, someone below began to throb.
"A pig-tailed Chinese actually gave a speech at the highest university in the Japanese Empire. How can he deserve such an achievement?"
"Chinese pigs, stop acting and come down!"
"There is nothing more ridiculous than your theory!"
"Don't insult our sacred podium!"
Hantaro Nagaoka angrily yelled: "Baga! What nonsense! Mr. Li Yu is my guest. He is the most shining star in the scientific world now. What qualifications do you have to speak against him? What achievements have you made?"
But some students below were still dissatisfied: "I simply don't believe that inferior Chinese people can achieve this level. They should all be ugly smokers."
Hantaro Nagaoka retorted: "Then the British Royal Society will also get it wrong? The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded the Nobel Prize, will get it wrong?"
One student said: "Westerners are nothing special. They are a second-class nation, and the Chinese are the worst."
Nagaoka Handaro was furious: "What major are you in?"
The student said: "I am from the Department of Mathematics. Why, Professor Nagaoka wants to use his authority to expel me? I am not afraid. I will tell the media when the time comes that the professor at Tokyo Imperial University has used his authority to expel students at will."
Li Yu had long guessed that such a person would come out. It was not surprising at all. He grabbed Hantaro Nagaoka and said to the student: "You will know by trying it out. Since you are in the mathematics department, use your poor mathematics skills."
Let’s compare our knowledge.”
The student dismissed it: "Chinese people are not worthy to compare with me."
Li Yu smiled and said: "Are you so scared? Don't worry, if you finish your studies well, your math level should be enough to carry my shoes."
The student's name was Takadai Kuda, and he asked excitedly: "How do you want to compare?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Of course we must use high-level questions. Have you heard of the 23 mathematical problems proposed by Hilbert?"
Hisada Takahiro said: "Of course I have heard it, and I will solve it all in the future."
This guy is really loud. Li Yu has seen braggarts before, but he has never seen anyone bragging like this.
But now Japan is really expanding.
Li Yu said: "There is a question about the Riemann Hypothesis, do you understand?"
Takada Kuda thought for a while: "Of course I know, why, you want to test me for this?"
Li Yu shook his head: "Since it's Bibi, of course we have to work together to solve it, and there is no need to prove it, because it is too difficult. Even I can't prove it, and you can't even lift my shoes, of course it won't work either. So we only need to use extreme
Streamline the problem and only need a few solutions."
The Riemann Hypothesis has not been proven a hundred years later, and the difficulty is simply not something that the mathematical community can solve at this time.
Because of the results of Professor Zhang Yitang, the Riemann Hypothesis has now become an Internet celebrity problem.
There is also a very interesting but absurd question that has attracted many people's attention to the Riemann Hypothesis, which is that the sum of all natural numbers is -1/12. In fact, if you study it, you will know that it has left the definition domain of the Riemann Hypothesis.
.
Saying that the sum of natural numbers is -1/12 is like saying that the result of 1/0 is infinity.
——It seems reasonable, but in fact it makes no sense at all.
What the Riemann Hypothesis says is that Riemann constructed a function, and then Riemann guessed that all non-trivial zero points of this function are on the straight line 0.5i in the complex plane.
In other words, the real part of non-trivial zero points is 1/2.
One more thing, the Riemann function contains a sine function. As we all know, the sine function is periodic. So as long as the sine function takes the periodic result, it can be zero, and then we can get countless solutions, which are the so-called "trivial zero points"
”.
This is not difficult at all, so the "non-trivial" zero point is emphasized in the Riemann Hypothesis.
However, although Riemann gave a conjecture at the beginning, he did not find any solution at all...
Maybe the master is different, he has seen through everything, and can discover the laws of all solutions without asking for one solution.
In fact, it is quite troublesome to solve the non-trivial zero points of the Riemann function.
The Riemann Hypothesis was proposed around 1859. Until the beginning of 1903, no one had solved it.
You must know that the Riemann function has infinitely many non-trivial zeros!
One can imagine the difficulty of this problem.
Otherwise Hilbert would not have said: If I were resurrected in 150 years, I would first ask others whether the Riemann Hypothesis has been proven.
Kuda Takada thought for a while: "Just find the solution of the function?"
Li Yu nodded: "This is much simpler than proving a conjecture. Besides, you were so loud just now. It seems that you don't even take the entire Western European scientific community in your eyes. Are you not afraid of this problem?"
Hisada Takahiro said: "Okay, I will compete with you."
Li Yu said: "I will give you three days. If you can solve one, you will win. To be fair, if you solve one, I will have to solve 10 to win. How about that? After all, I think you are really good at mathematics."
Much worse than me."
Kuda Takahiro sneered: "You ungrateful China people, I will crush you with my IQ! Let you know whether you should be ruled or not!"
Li Yu seemed to be looking at an angry young man with militarism. He was not angry at all. He sneered, "If you lose, you must apologize to all Chinese people in front of the whole school."
"Apologise? Why should I apologize to the Chinese people? I'm kidding!" Takahiro Kuda was still very arrogant.
Li Yu spread his hands to see how arrogant you will be.
Hantaro Nagaoka felt very guilty: "I didn't expect to invite you here, but it turned out like this. It just brings shame to Tokyo Imperial University."
Li Yu said: "It's not the professor's fault."
Masataka Ogawa also sighed: "This kind of dangerous thinking exists in schools, and it should be taken seriously. Sir, you can go to Northeastern University and have a look. It shouldn't be so extreme."
Nowadays, the admission requirements for universities are not as stringent as they were later. The situation of universities in Japan is quite different. Tokyo can only be said to be the area with the most intense collision.
After the show, Zhang Taiyan went to Li Yu and cursed: "These stinky red deer! They only care about people's dishes all day long, and don't care about people's true talents and learning. Brother Li Yu, I have read your report, you are like this
.”
Li Yu looked at Zhang Taiyan's thumbs up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Taiyan."
Zhang Taiyan was surprised: "Do you know me?"
Li Yu said: "Of course, Mr. Taiyan's name is very famous."
"My reputation is nothing. It's just using my ancestors' knowledge to make a name for myself in front of my own people. It's actually useless! I finally understand. I really want to defeat these red deer and foreigners.
, only democracy and science.”
Well, as expected of Zhang Taiyan, he always sees problems decades ahead of others, and even shouted the slogans of the May Fourth Movement in advance.
Li Yu said with a smile: "Isn't that just right? Mr. Taiyan is not just a scholar. I think we are walking on these two roads."
Zhang Taiyan laughed loudly: "You don't even shy away from it."
Li Yu said: "Did anyone else hear it?"
Zhang Taiyan said: "It's interesting! Come on, I just have some wine to have a drink with my little brother. You are the first Chinese person I have ever seen who understands Western science. We must get to know each other! You can't help but give me face!"
Zhang Taiyan was famous for his great knowledge and temper. He dared to scold anyone. Li Yu said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Zhang Taiyan smiled and said: "That's more or less the same. If you are disrespectful, I will have to take you there."
The two of them entered a tavern, and Zhang Taiyan sat down at the table very skillfully, kneeling down.
Li Yu had never received this kind of training, so he sat awkwardly opposite.
Zhang Taiyan said: "I don't want to be like this, but I found that the Japanese are so obsessed with our ancient culture that they have to sit upright to eat and drink. And tea, my God, their tea ceremony is actually from the Song Dynasty
I don’t drink matcha tea at all.”
Li Yu generally knew this: "When the tiger learns his skills, he will betray his master."
"Otherwise," Zhang Taiyan is after all a master of Chinese studies, "I have studied the Japanese Confucianism, and I can only say that they have learned the superficial and not the essence at all. Our Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, while theirs
Confucianism and Taoism only use loyalty."
Li Yu nodded: "What Mr. Taiyan said is absolutely true. If things continue to develop like this, it will be very dangerous in many years."
"I also have this worry, but it's a pity that the court doesn't understand it at all," Zhang Taiyan picked up the sake pot and poured some wine for Li Yu, "I tried Japanese sake. I don't have much strength, but there is no other good wine."
Li Yu took a sip of sake and asked, "Why did Mr. Taiyan come to Tokyo Imperial University today?"
Zhang Taiyan first spat: "Back at the Imperial University, the Japanese are really whimsical." Then he said: "I heard about it from others, but I don't know anything about science, but they all said that the speaker was famous in the West.
Li Yu, a great scholar in science, I came over as soon as I heard your name. It is said that Mr. Kang, who claimed to have "insight into the truth of the universe," also said to his disciples in Japan such as Liang Qichao and Mai Menghua, "Li Yu has already
If you have achieved something small, you can listen to it."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you guys to pay so much attention to me."
"That's not true," Zhang Taiyan said, "Mr. Kang seems to want to accept you as his disciple."
Li Yu almost spit out the sake and coughed hard several times.
Zhang Taiyan pursed his lips and said, "Why, can't you bear it?"
"I can't bear it, I can't bear it!" Li Yu wiped his mouth, "I still have my own leisure."
"You don't have to be so polite. If you want, I'll just scold him. What qualifications does Kang Youwei have to be Li Yu's teacher?"
Zhang Taiyan was famous for his ability to curse, and he had already broken up with Kang Youwei. He then said, "But you can enjoy happiness by following him. He is really rich now."
Li Yu said: "Overseas Chinese are working even harder. It's all hard-earned money. If this money is given to me, I won't be able to spend it with peace of mind."
"Oh?" Zhang Taiyan asked along the way, "Speaking of Mr. Kang, I would like to ask, which side do you think is correct, the revolutionary faction that I belong to or the royalist faction of Kang and Liang?"
Now Liang Qichao has not completely broken with Kang Youwei. However, Kang Youwei has long since traveled around the world to make money, leaving only Liang Qichao, the most powerful person, to run the "Xinmin Congbao" in Japan.
However, after Liang Qichao arrived in Japan, he read a lot of original Western works and found that what Master Kang Youwei told him was not quite the same...
But at the end of the day, he is not completely independent yet.
So now the reformists are solely supported by Liang Qichao, who is facing off with Mr. Zhongshan, Zhang Taiyan, Chen Tianhua, Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming and other revolutionary groups.
Li Yu took a sip of wine and said directly: "The world remains unchanged and everything in the world is difficult."
Zhang Taiyan laughed loudly, "Well said! For these words, I also want to toast the young gentleman a glass of wine."
The two drank it all in one gulp, and Zhang Taiyan said: "Kang Youwei bucked the trend, but he didn't know that the Qing court had long been hopeless, and he didn't think about it, how could those Eight Banners disciples be allowed to reform?"
Li Yu said: "What Mr. Taiyan said is absolutely true. The biggest problem is that the minority rules the majority, but does not recognize the majority as one with itself. This way of ruling is too dangerous. The only way to do this is for the Han people to regain power, otherwise the Qing government will remain the same
It is better to defend against Han than against foreigners, so we can only tie our hands and feet and accomplish nothing."
Zhang Taiyan's eyes widened: "I didn't expect Mr. to see the problem so clearly, which makes me even more impressed!"
Li Yu thought to himself that this would be the most common theory in history books a hundred years later. Of course he knew it.
Moreover, Li Yu has seen too many similar tragedies in which a minority rules the majority. It is either completely destroyed or deformed.
The most devastating thing is of course the brutal internal fighting between the Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda; and the most typical deformity is of course India, which has been ruled by a few people for thousands of years. In order to maintain its dominance, it has continued to use the caste system for thousands of years.
, it has not been eradicated until the 21st century, and it has profoundly restricted social development.
Of course, the current Qing court was very deformed in Li Yu's eyes. It was an incomprehensible miracle that the Qing court could rule for so long.
The correct approach can only be political consultation and peaceful coexistence, which was what Li Yu was like in his era.
If a minority group is allowed to take complete power, things will definitely get worse.
Li Yu shook his head: "What I want to do is to pursue scientific research, and I don't have any extra energy. Besides, haven't we already divided the work? Democracy and science, each person can follow his own path."
"What it means is that we can't walk on one leg." Zhang Taiyan was a sensible person, and he understood immediately, and then said, "Why don't you cut off those troubles? Look at me, how refreshing it is, it's like I can raise my head again."
Zhang Taiyan cut off his braids in 1900, causing a sensation.
In fact, at most one year later, that is, starting in 1904, many overseas students cut off their braids. After Zai Zhen and other senior royal family members went abroad for inspections, they also found that leaving braids was very indecent, so they basically acquiesced in the matter.
By 1905, when the Qing government sent five ministers abroad again, half of the more than 40 people accompanying them had already cut off their braids.
So Li Yucai was not in a hurry, "It won't take long for me to cut off my braids, but there is still a long way to go before all Chinese people can cut off their braids."
Zhang Taiyan held the wine glass again: "Sir, your vision is so broad. What we have to do is to get rid of all Chinese people's braids!"
Li Yu also picked up the wine glass: "Then I will try to get rid of the braids in the hearts of Chinese people."
Zhang Taiyan immediately heard what Li Yu was referring to and said, "What you have to do is much more difficult than what I have to do."
