Chapter 142 An uproar (May 200)

At the end of Lu Qiujian's speech, Xiaoyue clapped as if reflexively, but after clapping her hands several times, she realized that she seemed to be the only one applauding in the entire lecture hall. She listened to the applause uneasily and looked around. Xu Ye and Li Yincheng were both

His mouth opened in surprise, and he stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the stage. ∽↗

"What's wrong?" People who weren't from the mathematics department couldn't understand the significance of Lu Qiujian's speech at all. Xiao Yue turned to Xu Ye for help. Xiao Yue pulled his arm several times before he realized what he was saying.

Xu Ye looked confused, and Xiao Yue asked again, "What happened? Why didn't anyone applaud?"

"The content of this speech is so... so surprising!" Xu Ye found a suitable word with great difficulty.

"Isn't he right?"

"I don't know!" Xu Ye smiled bitterly. Now he can't even understand the speeches of his roommate, which makes him feel very shocked. "He is describing the future of mathematics development!"

"What's the problem with this?" Xiaoyue still didn't understand.

"He wants to be the leader of the martial arts league!" Xu Ye said with emotion, "A twenty-year-old young man is now telling these long-established scholars on the stage how the Mathematics Society will develop. What are you going to do next?

Which direction should we work towards!"

"Are you from the Department of Foreign Languages?" Seeing that her face was still confused, Xu Ye said after getting a positive answer, "This is equivalent to you giving a speech at the International Federation of Translators conference and telling those veteran translators,

The translation should be done according to your newly established standards, what happens?”

"How do I have that qualification?" Xiao Yue seemed to be frightened by Xu Ye's metaphor, twisting uneasily on her seat. Only now did she understand Lu Qiujian's current situation.

Lu Qiujian's current move is whimsical at best and overestimating his abilities at worst. Only Grothendieck is qualified to plan the future for the development of mathematics, and even Wiles is the only one present.

, people like Deligne are far behind, let alone him who has just emerged in the world of mathematics.

"Do you know what you are talking about! When will it be your turn to define the future development direction of mathematics!" After the shock, someone finally woke up.

"Shouldn't the development direction of the mathematics community be heading in the right direction?" Lu Qiujian answered directly in German without any translation.

"Is what you said necessarily correct?" Someone else stood up to refute.

"If you find my mistake, please point it out clearly!" Lu Qiujian was neither humble nor overbearing.

"The speech you just gave covered a total of twenty-three important branches of mathematics. How old are you now? Even if you started studying mathematics from birth, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to study these branches thoroughly! What you are doing now is no more than

It’s just sensationalism! It’s an insult to the entire mathematical community!” The tone of his speech became increasingly intense.

"Don't think that others can't do what you can't do!" Lu Qiujian responded tit-for-tat, refusing to give in at all. He emphasized again, "If you have objections to my speech itself, please tell me your reasons. If you only

If you would make a personal attack like this, it only shows that there is something wrong with your character!"

His refutation did not scare others at all. Mathematicians one after another stood up to refute; don't think that the world of mathematics is peaceful, the struggle here is also very cruel; as far back as ancient Greece, Hippasus discovered the isosceles right triangle

The ratio of the right-angled side to the hypotenuse is not a rational number. This

The discovery angered the Pythagoreans who believed that all relationships in the universe can be expressed by integers or ratios of integers! Even though he was a direct disciple of Pythagoras, he did not escape the persecution of the Pythagoreans.

, during a voyage to the sea, he was thrown into the sea and drowned by the Pythagoreans.

The cruel struggle of mathematicians can be seen. Although it is unlikely to be life-threatening now, it is still possible for so many people to gather their strength to ruin the reputation of a newcomer in the field of mathematics.

People who were familiar with Lu Qiujian, such as Thurston, Professor Nan and others also didn’t understand why Lu Qiujian did this. Although they did not stand up to refute, they did not dare to stand up and speak for him easily. Firstly, because

There are still doubts about Lu Qiujian's prospects. Secondly, even Princeton's power cannot resist the attack of the entire mathematical community.

Professor Zhang and the principal looked at each other. They had a premonition that Lu Qiujian's speech would not end peacefully. But they did not expect that the response from the mathematics community would be so great! They turned their attention to Academician Qiao for help.

Academician Qiao stood up slowly, walked to the stage, took out a USB flash drive from his arms, inserted it into the computer on the podium, and called up the results he had made using Lu Qiujian's speech. When the first page of information was displayed on the projection screen

When the screen was displayed, he took the microphone and said, "This is my performance based on Lu Qiujian's performance.

Some results from the lecture notes. Please check it. A few days ago, I used a supercomputer to check a certain formula in the first question mentioned in the lecture. The results proved that this method is correct.

Quantum algorithms have a huge improvement effect..."

The noise gradually subsided, and people temporarily buried their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Looking at the rows of numbers on the projection screen, some showed disdain, some were thoughtful, and some opened their mouths slightly as if they had thought of something.

Wonderful stuff…

The process and results of this calculation did not have many pages. It took Academician Qiao about ten minutes to display all the contents, and then he stood next to Lu Qiujian and watched them quietly.

"The success of a single example does not mean that all the content is correct!" After a moment of silence, someone else began to refute. Mathematically speaking, his statement was indeed correct.

"But it is wrong to directly refute other people's opinions without discovering loopholes. Is there no problem with this method?" Academician Qiao began to help Lu Qiujian.

"Who knows if you have prepared these data in advance?"

"The principles and processes have been clearly written on it! You can test it yourself!"

"A grand gathering turned into a farce in the end!" Someone shook his head and felt sorry for Lu Qiujian.

"Young man, you are too impatient!" Someone advised me kindly.

"Absurd speech! This is nothing more than an arrogant man's dream talk!" Some people still adhere to their previous views and attack Lu Qiujian.

Just when the whole audience was in an uproar, Grothendieck stood up tremblingly, walked to the stage with the support of Deligne, and looked down at the crowd with wide eyes. Shocked by his huge prestige, the venue slowly

It's quiet. (To be continued.)

ps: Thanks to Cang Qianqing, Wa Sharp, guojfff, Kite V, Wind and Fire Emblem and others for their monthly tickets. Starting from the point where you can’t see all the monthly ticket sources is very scummy. I apologize to the book friends who didn’t mention their names. Come to the group.
Chapter completed!
