While Lin Xiao had a question mark on his face, a middle-aged French uncle suddenly said to him next to him: "Hey brother, have you become as powerful as Bruce Lee now?"
"Bruce Lee?"
Hearing this, he was stunned again. Isn't this Bruce Lee?
What the hell is he as good as Bruce Lee?
He asked: "What are you talking about? Why do I have to be as good as Bruce Lee?"
The French uncle said: "Didn't you have an 'enlightenment' just now? That's what your friends all said."
“‘Epiphany’?”
Lin Xiao finally reacted. Didn't Henry Bernard just say that he had an 'epiphany' or something?
Oh my god, what did that guy say to others?
At this time, more people shouted to him: "Hey, friends from China, show me your Kung Fu!"
"If you had a fight with Bruce Lee, could you win?"
There was even a cute little girl with blond hair and blue eyes who raised her head and asked him curiously: "Brother, are your kung fu very powerful? You can definitely help Dora catch the troublemaker, right?"
Lin Xiao: "...probably, should, maybe..."
Then he slipped out of the crowd.
He really doesn’t know kung fu!
When they saw him running out, Alex and the others quickly followed him.
"Lin! Where are you going?"
"Forest!"
…
In this way, they ran all the way out of the Louvre. Finally, the tourists outside didn't know anything, and they didn't come around again after seeing Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Alex and the others finally followed.
"Lin, what are you doing?"
Alex asked.
Henry Bernard stretched out his hand and said to Lin Xiao first: "I guess Lin needs to go back now."
Hearing Henry's words, Lin Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, "Yes, you were right again this time."
Henry Bernard hummed and said: "I knew it! After the protagonist has an epiphany, he must have a breakthrough, so when Lin goes back, he must completely solve that problem, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Lin Xiao was numb.
A smile appeared on Henry's face: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go back now, don't delay Lin's breakthrough."
"right!"
Several other people immediately nodded. This is a big deal and cannot be delayed!
So, they entered the Louvre Metro Station, took the subway, returned to the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and sent Lin Xiao back to the downstairs of the dormitory.
"Lin, come on, we look forward to you solving this problem!"
Alex patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, after I finish, I will definitely treat you to dinner."
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, then went upstairs.
Alex and the others just watched Lin Xiao disappear at the top of the stairs, then turned around and left.
For them, there is still a lot of time to play today.
However, thinking that Lin Xiao would probably solve a world-level problem, they couldn't help but marvel at his talent.
Alex sighed with emotion: "The twin prime conjecture! I really can't believe that Lin can actually solve such a difficult problem again."
"Yes." Henry nodded, with admiration on his face: "It's just like the protagonist in Chinese novels, who can always easily do things that others can't do."
Several people nodded.
The girls from the art department asked curiously: "How difficult is this question?"
The girl from the mathematics department replied: "You only need to know that it is a difficult problem in the world. I believe you must know Cauchy, Fourier, Laplace and others, right?"
"certainly!"
The French are proud of their mathematics, and of course they know their top mathematicians. Even this girl who is engaged in art knows it very well.
Then the goddess from the mathematics department said: "None of them have solved this problem. Do you think this problem is difficult?"
"Wow! That sure is hard!"
Thinking of this, the girl from the art department was amazed. It must be quite difficult to solve a problem that has not been solved by mathematics masters.
Alex smiled, although the comparison is a bit bad. After all, those mathematicians were figures from hundreds of years ago, and the mathematical tools they could use were limited. But no matter what, in modern times,
The same is true. There are many great mathematicians in modern times, but only Lin Xiao can solve such world-class problems.
However, at this time, he turned to look at Henry again and said, "By the way, Henry, share your Chinese novel website with me, I want to read it too."
Several other girls also immediately became interested.
The pinnacle of mathematics that Lin Xiao was involved in was beyond their reach, but just now Henry was able to guess everything Lin Xiao wanted to do after reading a few Chinese fantasy novels, which made them excited.
Curious.
Are Chinese novels so magical?
Seeing that all five of his friends were interested in his own hobbies, Henry's passion for sharing immediately aroused Henry's enthusiasm, "Do you guys want to see it too? Come and I'll send you a website!"
Alex and the others immediately took out their mobile phones and entered the overseas website of Hua Guo Novel.
Since then, there have been several more loyal overseas users of Chinese novels.
…
At the same time, Lin Xiao, who returned to the dormitory, certainly didn't know that Alex and the others had also read online novels. Of course, he had no time to care about it now.
Instead of stroking his breasts as usual, he sat directly at the table and took out his scratch paper and pen, preparing to reproduce all the ideas that flashed in his mind when he had an 'epiphany'.
Recalling what happened in front of the "Mona Lisa" just now, he shook his head in a funny way, but he also wanted to thank Leonardo da Vinci in his heart.
Thanks to him for that painting.
The handwriting on that painting finally reminded him of the plane geometric space, and together with the glass pyramid outside, he finally connected it with number theory.
Now, it's time to build his mathematical pyramid and outline his "Mona Lisa" with numerical symbols.
The tip of the pen touches the paper, and lines of handwriting are produced.
Solving number theory problems does not necessarily have to be solved only by number theory methods. Using geometry to deal with problems can sometimes achieve your own goals.
Even though Lin Xiao's current problem doesn't seem to have anything to do with geometry.
But this is where the wisdom of mathematicians lies. They can connect two seemingly unrelated mathematical methods and then solve more mathematical problems.
Just as Grothendieck laid the foundation for modern algebraic geometry and allowed mathematics to be unified, Faltings also used algebraic geometry to solve the Model's conjecture in the field of number theory, allowing him to directly obtain Fields's conjecture.
prize.
And what Lin Xiao has to do now is just this. Of course, all of this is inseparable from his sifting method.
Because his current goal is to expand the sieve circle method so that it can be used not only to solve Goldbach's conjecture, but also to solve the twin prime conjecture.
Just like that, time passed by.
…
Lin Xiao has not paid attention to the Internet since he left the Louvre. However, on Facebook, the story about his "epiphany" in front of the "Mona Lisa" is still spread on the Internet, and even not only
It was only limited to the French area, but it also broke through, aroused popularity in the European area, and finally directly entered the hot search list on Facebook.
[Chinese Kung Fu Master Surprised at the Louvre], [Bruce Lee's Successor Surprised at the Louvre], [What is the Epiphany in Chinese Kung Fu?], [Shocked!...] and other titles, just like this.
It has caused various discussions abroad.
So a bunch of gringos started various discussions.
"Can you achieve enlightenment without learning Kung Fu?"
"What is the state of enlightenment?"
"Can I become a superman after enlightenment?"
"I am a Chinese, and let me tell you, generally one cannot become a superman. 'Sudden enlightenment' is actually a term derived from Buddhism. Translated, it means suddenly comprehending the truth, which is the operating rules of the world. If one has sudden enlightenment,
After that, we can..."
"I'm from China. What they say is true. After enlightenment, this person will be invincible. Have you seen One Punch Man?..."
…
Terence Tao from the University of California, Los Angeles, who loves surfing the Internet, also happened to see this hot search.
"Bruce Lee?"
Although he was born in 1975, two years after Bruce Lee's death, he also watched Bruce Lee's movies when he was a child, and he was also very interested in such things as kung fu.
So he clicked on this hot search to see what it was about.
However, when he entered the video and saw the Chinese man in it, he was stunned.
"Why does this person... look so much like Lin Xiao?"
However, he could only see a side face and not the front face, so he was not completely sure.
Of course, when he thought about it, it was impossible for Lin Xiao to become a Kung Fu master, right?
So he continued to read, wanting to see why others said that this person who looked like Lin Xiao was a kung fu master.
However, the man inside was motionless and kept staring at the Mona Lisa, which made him wonder, what kind of airplane was this?
At this moment, the man in the video finally moved, turned around, and finally revealed his face.
"Wang Defa? Isn't this Lin Xiao!?"
Seeing this face, Tao Zhexuan was stunned.
He wasn't sure when he saw Lin Xiao's profile, but now that Lin Xiao's face was revealed, he was basically sure.
Why did Lin Xiao suddenly become a Kung Fu master?
etc……
He suddenly thought of something. He heard that before Lin Xiao proved Goldbach's conjecture, he fell into such a selfless state in the Bourbaki seminar. Then not long after he returned, he solved Goldbach's conjecture.
Got it done.
Could it be...that it's the same this time?
So what is Lin Xiao thinking about now?!
Could it be the twin prime number conjecture that happened some time ago?
Terence Tao didn't know what to say for a moment.
If his guess is true, it would be really serious.
Of course he also knew about the twin prime conjecture some time ago, and he also sent Lin Xiao a comforting email, asking him not to be angry for that guy.
Then Lin Xiao replied that he would not be angry, but would just fight back in his own way.
Later, Lin Xiao posted a message on Facebook, indicating that Professor Cayman's method could not truly prove the twin prime conjecture.
At that time, Tao Zhexuan thought this was Lin Xiao's counterattack.
But now it seems that it was just a tentative counterattack, and now is it time to directly use the ultimate move?
He felt a little incredible, but it seemed that this was indeed what Lin Xiao could do.
After all, his talent in number theory must be admired by mathematicians all over the world.
Tao Zhexuan thought for a while and finally sent a private message to Lin Xiao. Generally, if Lin Xiao was fine, he would reply to the private message within a short time. If a day passed and Lin Xiao did not reply, it meant that he had entered into an important research project.
middle.
Tao Zhexuan smiled slightly, expecting that Lin Xiao would not reply to his message today, and then would reply to him a few days later.
I believe that at that time, there will be another earthquake in the mathematics world.
And he also wanted to know what Professor Cayman's expression would be like then.
