The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Chapter 423 Ponzi's 15 Questions

In the next three hours, Pang Xuelin asked a total of fifteen questions.

Some of these problems have existed before, such as Riemann's conjecture, Iwasawa's conjecture, Hopf's conjecture and so on.

Some are new questions derived by Pang Xuelin through Ponzi geometry theory.

These problems are closely related to the essence of algebra and geometry.

As long as these fifteen problems can be completely solved, mathematicians can clearly state that they have found a grand unified theory between algebra and geometry.

Of course, for now, this kind of theoretical construction is still far away.

A single Riemann conjecture is like a magnificent Himalayas, lying in front of mathematicians all over the world.

To cross this mountain range, a suitable route, talent, strength, and luck are indispensable.

Not to mention, the remaining fourteen math puzzles.

It was not until the evening that Pang Xuelin listed the fifteen propositions one by one, ending this speech that had a profound impact on the entire mathematics community.

"Okay, this is about the end of today's speech. Thank you very much for listening. Later, I will upload the content of today's speech to the preprint website for you to download and read, thank you all."

Pang Xuelin looked around and said with a smile.

Soon, Marcelo Sivina, chairman of the organizing committee of the conference, and Carlos Kenny, president of the International Mathematical Union stood up and applauded one after another. Then, Faltings, Pierre Deligne, Andrew Wiles, Robert Langlands and others also stood up and applauded.

Soon, applause spread throughout the conference hall, and almost everyone stood up to pay respects to the young man on the stage who is almost at the pinnacle of today's mathematics world.

In the corner behind the conference hall, Ai Ai applauded enthusiastically, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Sister Zuo, I must graduate as soon as possible."

"Why?"

Zuo Yiqiu on the side asked doubtfully.

Ai Ai said with a smile: "After graduation, I can pursue my master openly."

"But,

He already has a girlfriend. "

Zuo Yiqiu frowned and said.

Ai Ai said with a smile: "My master already has two girlfriends, why can't he have a third?"

Zuo Yiqiu pursed her red lips tightly, complaining about Ai Ai's logic.

Although she knew that Ai Ai's thinking was wrong, for some reason, she was a little envious of Ai Ai's daring to love and hate, and she didn't even say a word of advice.

Naturally, Pang Xuelin didn't know what the two girls in the audience were thinking at this time. When he stepped off the stage, those bigwigs from the mathematics world surrounded him one after another. Surround him in the middle.

"Professor Pang, today's speech is good. I think it is more important than solving one or two conjectures. The mathematics community needs such a deafening voice."

"I used to be a little confused about the future development direction of mathematics. Although I had a similar concept in my heart, it was difficult to express it clearly. Today, Professor Pang's speech is what I have always wanted to say in my heart, but I can't express it. If so, explain it all.”

"Pang, if it weren't for the fact that I'm getting older and can't keep up with energy, I would have the urge to go to graduate school again under your name."

"Professor Pang, I'm Gustavo Andreev, President of St. Petersburg University. I wonder if you are free recently. Could you come to St. Petersburg University to give a speech?"

...

After finally dealing with many enthusiastic mathematicians, Pang Xuelin, accompanied by Carlos Kenny and Marcelo Sivina, went to the banquet hall.

Tonight, the Organizing Committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians and the St. Petersburg City Government will hold a grand dinner to entertain these guests from afar.

Pang Xuelin naturally became the focus of the banquet.

Anyone who knows him or doesn't know him will come to him and have a chat with him.

By the time everything was over, it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, Pang Xuelin saw Tao Zhexuan and Schultz walking over holding champagne hand in hand.

"Congratulations, Pang, today's report meeting is the best report meeting I have ever heard."

Peter Schultz said.

"Thanks."

Pang Xuelin clinked glasses with Terence Tao and Peter Schultz respectively.

At this moment, Peter Schultz said, "Pang, there is something I want to trouble you with."

"Whatever, just say it."

Schultz pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm going to Jiangda University to be a visiting scholar for a year and participate in the Ponzi geometry seminar."

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment, but the expression on his face didn't show much surprise.

At today's dinner, more than one mathematician has made similar requests to Pang Xuelin.

Among them, there are Fields Medal winners like Martin Haier and Aksayi Venkatesh, and it does not surprise him to have one more Peter Schultz.

Pang Xuelin turned his gaze to Tao Zhexuan beside Peter Schultz and said, "Teacher, what about you?"

Tao Zhexuan smiled and said: "I also have the same idea. Today's report meeting made me change my previous research plan. I need to have a more in-depth study of Ponzi geometry theory. Go to the Ponzi geometry seminar at Jiangda University Ban is undoubtedly the best choice."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said: "No problem, if you are willing to come, I am too happy to have time."

These are the backbone of the current mathematics community. After coming to Jiangda University, Pang Xuelin can just pull them to the Jiangcheng Institute for Advanced Study to do theoretical research.

With such a group of top mathematicians in charge, even if they do not take action themselves, they will provide strong support for the development of Qiantang Laboratory, even if they only lead students.

Schultz and Tao Zhexuan chatted with Pang Xuelin for a while, at this time, Ai Ai and Zuo Yiqiu also came over with champagne.

Tao Zhexuan patted Pang Xuelin's shoulder, and said with a chuckle, "Pang, I won't disturb you chatting with the girls."

Pang Xuelin smiled awkwardly and didn't say any more.

"Master, congratulations, come, let me respect Master."

Ai Ai obviously drank a lot of wine tonight, her face flushed a little, and she had some receipts when she walked.

Pang Xuelin clinked glasses with Ai Ai, and said with a smile: "Drink less, I think you are a little drunk. Besides, it will be your turn to give a report the day after tomorrow. How are you preparing?"

Ai Ai suffocated all the champagne in the glass, and said: "Don't worry, Master, I have already prepared it, and I promise not to let you lose face."

Pang Xuelin smiled, and said to Zuo Yiqiu who was beside him: "I think this girl is a little drunk, you can send her back to rest."

Zuo Yiqiu nodded, and was about to speak when Ai Ai said: "Master, I... I'm not drunk..."

As she spoke, she tilted her body and fell straight towards Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin hurriedly supported her, a little bit dumbfounded: "He said he was not drunk."

Zuo Yiqiu hurried to the other side, helping Pang Xuelin to support Ai Ai.

Even so, more than half of Ai Ai's body weight was leaning softly on Pang Xuelin.

Pang Xuelin felt a little helpless, so he had to help Ai Ai back to the hotel room with Zuo Yiqiu.

After finally putting Ai Ai on the bed, Pang Xuelin breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zuo Yiqiu: "Xiao Zuo, I'll take care of Ai Ai today."

Zuo Yiqiu nodded and said, "Professor Pang, go back and rest quickly."

"Um!"

Pang Xuelin was about to turn around and leave when he saw Ai Ai turn over and muttered: "Master, I like you..."

"..."

The air in the room suddenly became quiet.

Pang Xuelin looked weird, looked at Zuo Yiqiu and said, "How much wine has this girl drunk, why is she talking nonsense?"

Zuo Yiqiu laughed twice, gave Pang Xuelin a glance, and didn't answer.

Pang Xuelin blinked and said, "Thank you for your nesting doll."

After speaking, without waiting for Zuo Yiqiu to react, he left the room directly.

Zuo Yiqiu spat lightly, went up and closed the door of the room, then, when she turned around, she was startled, and saw that Ai Ai had sat up at some point, staring at herself in a daze.

"Ai Ai, you... are you not drunk?"

"Hee hee, master smells very good."

Ai Ai showed a sweet smile on her face, and then she narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Zuo Yiqiu and said, "Sister Zuo, just now Master said thank you for your doll, did you give him that doll?"

"You... what are you talking about? Why should I give him a matryoshka?"

"Because you like my master!"

"Ai Ai, what nonsense are you talking about? I...I..."

Ai Ai stepped forward and pulled Zuo Yiqiu to sit beside her, and said with a smile: "Sister Zuo, it's no big deal to like my master. With my master's ability, I've been with him for a long time. Isn't it normal to like him?" ?”

"But... I..."

"Okay, don't worry about it, sister Zuo, do you want to be with my master?"

The room quickly became quiet.

After a long time, the voices of two women whispering were heard.

...

In the next week, Pang Xuelin stayed in St. Petersburg and continued to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians.

His speech at the report meeting on the first day of the conference, after it got out, although the traditional media did not report it with much fanfare, it caused a violent shock in the mathematics world.

Almost all mathematicians gave Pang Xuelin's speech a very high evaluation, and even raised it to the same height as David Hilbert's Twenty-Three Questions in 1900.

These fifteen questions are also called Ponzi's fifteen questions.

Many people believe that these fifteen questions will guide the development of mathematics in this century. If Ponzi's fifteen questions can be solved smoothly, human beings will undoubtedly complete the complete unification of algebra and geometry.

Of course, in addition to Ponzi's fifteen questions, Perelman's report on Hodge's conjecture also attracted the attention of a large number of mathematicians.

The only regret is that the $1.5 million bonus from the Clay Institute still hasn't been sent out.

Perelman declined the request of the director of the Cray Institute to award him a bonus. In this regard, Pang Xuelin respected Perelman's opinion.

On the contrary, Ai Ai's 45-minute speech on the relationship between Ponzi geometry, algebraic topology, and geometric topology published at this conference of mathematicians has won a lot of attention.

Many people know that there is one more mathematician, a young and beautiful female mathematician with a very good level, and she is also a disciple of Pang Xuelin.

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed in a flash.

On August 18, 2022, Pang Xuelin finally finished his trip to the International Congress of Mathematicians in St. Petersburg and returned to Jiangcheng by special plane.

After coming out of the airport, Ai Ai looked a little gloomy.

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you staying in Russia and don't want to come back?"

Ai Ai pouted and said, "Master, it's hard for me to come out and play with you for ten days, and we will be separated again."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Isn't school going to start in half a month? It's not like I won't be able to see me then.\

,""It's just not happy anyway."

Ai Ai Dao.

Pang Xuelin was a little helpless towards this female disciple, couldn't help but give up, and said, "Don't ink, hurry home, your parents are waiting at home."

After finally sending Ai Ai away, Pang Xuelin and Zuo Yiqiu returned home together.

In the next ten days, the upsurge caused by the International Conference of Mathematicians gradually dissipated.

Pang Xuelin finally had free time.

He put his work aside and accompanied Yao Bingxia around the scenic spots around Jiangcheng.

Because Yao Bingxia was going back to Beijing to go to school in September, therefore, during this period of time, Qi Xin tacitly did not follow Pang Xuelin and gave Pang Xuelin to Yao Bingxia.

On this day, another fierce battle ended at night, Yao Bingxia fell asleep next to Pang Xuelin, and the long-lost voice of the system came to Pang Xuelin's mind.

"Attention the host, the Chinese Sun World will open in half an hour, please prepare the host."

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that this time he actually traveled to the Chinese Sun World.

This is not the best of Liu Cixin's series of sci-fi works, but it is the most plain but sincere work, which left a very deep impression on Pang Xuelin.

The protagonist in the book, a rural child with only primary school level - Shui Wa, has experienced a life journey full of dreams after coming out of the village.

In the novel, Shuiwa was born in a dry village and lived on the rainwater stored in the water cellar, but the water was bitter and astringent, and poisonous substances were also dissolved. In order to drink water that is not bitter, Shuiwa came to the coal mine to do absenteeism, and finally drank the water that was not bitter from the deep well.

After experiencing a mining accident, Shuiwa went to the provincial capital to work as a shoe shiner on the advice of her co-workers, and met a group of people who were desperate to sell their patents because they could not find a suitable nano-mirror film material for their research and development. Materials scientist Lu Hai.

Until one day, when Lu Hai saw the news of the launch of China's solar project, he was so excited that he encouraged Shui Wa to go to Beijing together.

This time, Shuiwa became a spiderman, that is, a high-altitude cleaner, who specializes in cleaning the glass of buildings. Although it is highly dangerous, the income is not low.

And Lu Hai also became the chief scientist of the "China Sun" project by virtue of his own nano-mirror film.

During this period, Shuiwa saved a lot of money by virtue of her hard work and hard work. She successfully bought a house in the capital and became a native of the capital.

And Lu Hai also realized his dream step by step.

The Chinese Sun is divided into two parts - the orbiting mirror and the super simulation system, which can change the thermal balance of the atmosphere and thus regulate the global climate.

However, the Chinese sun is also facing some threats, such as the jet of particles ejected by the sun, which will cover the mirror with a layer of fog and reduce the reflectivity of the mirror.

To this end, Lu Hai held a special meeting to discuss solutions. When the space agency insisted on letting scientific elites do the job, Zhuang Yu let them experience high-altitude cleaning work, but no one was competent.

Since cleaning orbital mirrors is similar to wiping glass at high altitudes, Shuiwa eventually became a "mirror farmer" under Lu Hai's strong recommendation, flying into space to wipe clean the silver mirror.

The mirror farmers represented by Shuiwa have also become the first generation of space industry workers.

Twenty years later, the Chinese sun has completed its mission and is about to leave the earth.

Shuiwa also became an excellent space engineer during this period. He proposed to release the Chinese sun out of the solar system and become an interstellar spacecraft to explore the remote and unknown depths of space.

This proposal was adopted by Lu Hai, but Shuiwa was not satisfied with this, he hoped to give him a highly reliable micro-ecological circulation system.

Because he will take the Chinese sun to sail into the deep space of the universe. When he wakes up from hibernation more than 40 years later, the spacecraft will pass by the constellation Centaurus. He will become the first interstellar explorer in human history.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a suicide with no return, but for Shuiwa, he will bring mankind's dreams and missions, and lead mankind's eyes back to the depths of the universe.

Shuiwa finally realized his dream and became the first group of explorers to step into deep space.

Somerset Maugham explained a truth in "The Moon and Sixpence": Someone who chooses to pick up sixpence on the ground must be someone who wants to reach the moon high above. The value of dreams cannot be measured by money.

The universe is so big that it contains the world, but it is not as big as the human heart.

Because the heart accommodates everything, more than the universe.

In an increasingly utilitarian society, people are paying more and more attention to interests and the ratio of input to output, instead of being enterprising.

Some people are satisfied with their wives and children, and never look outside the world that has nothing to do with them; some spend their lives just to see things that humans have never seen.

Modern people, with mortgages and car loans on their backs, are cautious and spend their entire lives just to cultivate one-third of an acre of land.

As for when humans will re-land on the moon, land on Mars, fly out of the solar system, and rush to the universe, it is completely irrelevant.

The idealistic enthusiasm for space exploration in the last century has become a ridiculous existence.

In this film, Shuiwa walks from the village to the coal mine, from the coal mine to the city, from the city to the capital, from the capital to space, and finally from the earth to the universe.

Every time I set off, it's like a child yearning for a brighter place, without hesitation, without worries, just pure yearning...

The shock brought by that kind of pure idealism shakes people's hearts.

"I don't know what kind of role I will play when I enter the Chinese Sun World this time."

Pang Xuelin thought to himself.

But in any case, compared to what Pang Xuelin had experienced before, the safety of those sci-fi adventure worlds and the Chinese Sun World basically did not have any problems.
