Chapter 170

After rejecting Su Xi's invitation, Gu Lu put his phone on the table.

As soon as I turned on the computer, I received a video call invitation from Senior Brother Gao.

Gu Lu, who didn't know why Senior Brother Gao was calling him, hesitated for a few seconds and then chose to answer the call.

On the other side of the screen, Senior Brother Gao looked tired.

But his expression was extremely excited.

Seeing Gu Lu get through, Senior Brother Gao immediately blushed and announced to Gu Lu excitedly, "Junior Brother Gu, we succeeded!"

What?!

After realizing what had happened, Gu Lu immediately sat up straight and asked eagerly, "Senior Brother Gao, are you serious?"

Gu Lu meant that it would take some time for the day to arrive, but he did not expect that Senior Brother Gao would move so quickly.

"Yes!" Senior Brother Gao nodded heavily, "Just now, I completed the derivation of the last theorem."

"I can announce very responsibly that the second issue of the Minimal Model Program has been successfully solved by us!" Senior Brother Gao's voice gradually became louder.

Gu Lu's heart is filled with joy now.

Even after Gu Lu proposed the new proof plan almost a month ago, this result was already doomed.

But the joy of personally witnessing the solution of the second problem of the minimal model program is indescribable.

The road to solving the second problem of the minimal model program has been full of ups and downs.

All in all, the results are good.

The second issue of the minimal model program was a tough nut to crack, and it took three months for senior brothers Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao to chew it down.

bite--!

There was a crisp sound in Gu Lu's mind, which was a reminder that the task was completed.

Today is December 4th, and the task deadline is December 9th. Gu Lu completed the task five days ahead of schedule.

One more thing.

This was something Gu Lu had noticed a long time ago.

Now that the system has determined that the task has been completed, it can be explained from another perspective that the derivation process given by Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao regarding the second issue of the minimal model program is correct.

With this mechanism, to a certain extent, the system can provide Gu Lu with an error correction function.

Because once Gu Lu's derivation process is wrong, the system will not show that the task is completed.

Although the system cannot point out the specific mistakes made by Gu Lu, at least it can prevent Gu Lu from directly writing the wrong derivation steps into a paper and submitting it for publication.

Opening the system panel, Gu Lu's eyes fell directly on the side task at the bottom.

[Side mission: Solve the second problem of the minimal model program (completed)

Mission duration: six months

Mission reward: computing power 20, insight 20 (can be claimed)]

After clicking to receive it, Gu Lu felt a warm current penetrate into his brain, and his thinking instantly became much clearer.

The last time he completed the main quest, the attribute points of Gu Lu's insight attribute were 271.

However, due to the completion of this mission and the accumulation of training during this period, Gu Lu's insight now reaches 300 points.

Officially entering the lv3 mark!

At this point, except for memory, Gu Lu's other five attributes have all reached level 3.

After reaching level three, to be honest, apart from being more fluent when using various attributes, Gu Lu did not feel a qualitative improvement compared to when he was at level 2.

At present, it seems that it is similar to what I guessed when I entered lv2.

The levels of the six attributes are just to more simply measure changes in attribute values.

It's not like in fantasy immortality novels, where there is a huge chasm-like gap in strength between each realm level.

For example, a person who has just entered the foundation building stage can reach the peak of ten Qi training stages.

For Gu Lu, although there is a big difference between 299 points and 300 points in reasoning ability, the difference is almost negligible.

In the same way, the difficulty of improvement corresponding to different levels is the same.

Previously, through a certain period of training at lv1, a certain attribute value could be improved a little.

Now after reaching level 3, the same amount of training can still improve the attribute value by a little.

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Gu!"

Gu Lu was brought back from his thoughts by Senior Brother Gao's shout.

"Oh, senior brother, tell me." Gu Lu came back to his senses and said to senior brother Gao.

"What should we do next?" Senior Brother Gao asked.

Gu Lu answered without thinking, "Of course we will compile our derivation process into a paper and submit it!"

Solving the second problem of the minimal model program is a research result of extremely high weight.

Especially in the direction of minimal models of birational geometry, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a landmark achievement.

The emergence of such research results is an opportunity for Gu Lu to enter the international stage.

It is even uncertain that he can occupy a marginal position in the international mathematics community.

After receiving Gu Lu's answer, Senior Brother Gao nodded, "Well, according to our speed, we can successfully compile our research results into a paper of about 20 pages in about a week."

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Gu, don't you need to check my final derivation steps? If I make a mistake..."

"No need." Gu Lu smiled and shook his head, looking at Senior Brother Gao calmly, "Senior Brother, I believe you!"

Senior Brother Gao's face turned red, and he felt proud of being trusted. He laughed boldly and said, "Junior Brother Gu, I will not betray your trust. Don't worry, I have carefully checked the derivation formula more than a dozen times.

100% no problem!”

Senior Brother Gao patted his chest in assurance, then changed his words and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, do you think which journal is suitable for our paper to be submitted to?"

Gu Lu pondered for a few seconds, and after thinking carefully, he slowly spit out four words, "Four major journals."

The so-called four major journals refer to the four top comprehensive mathematics journals in the world, namely "Annals of Mathematics", "New Advances in Mathematics", "Journal of Mathematics", and "Journal of the American Mathematical Society".

It is one of the four most influential mathematics journals in the world and has a very high status in the field of mathematics.

Among all mathematics area journals, these are the four journals with the highest impact factors.

It can be said that being able to publish a paper in the four major journals is one of the dreams of countless mathematicians.

But the reason why the four major journals are called the four major journals means that they will only include some top articles in the field of mathematics.

Every paper published in the four major journals must undergo strict screening.

The paper written by Gu Lu and Senior Brother Gao that solved the first program of minimal models did not meet the standards for inclusion in the four major journals, so they chose to publish it in the next-level Mathematics Monthly.

However, the second question of the Minimal Model Program is fully qualified to be included in the four major journals.

It can be said that, with the exception of the top-tier "Annals of Mathematics", the other three of the four major journals have no reason to reject Gu Lu's paper, which is of epoch-making significance in the field of minimal models.

"Then which one should we submit the manuscript to?" Senior Brother Gao asked Gu Lu for his opinion.
