Chapter 622 Alec's Fear(1/2)
Chapter 622
When it comes to joining Gu Lu's research group and working with Gu Lu, many mathematicians are interested.
but……
When everyone thought that what Gu Lu wanted to study was a unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, many people cringed.
It is true that everyone admires Gu Lu.
But I don't admire him to the extent of being a crazy fan.
Gu Lu's new project is an attempt to construct a unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology.
As long as one has normal thinking and logic, it is impossible not to know that the unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology is a big pitfall.
It's easy to fall into this pit.
But I want to come out.
That is extremely difficult.
What's more important is.
You don't know whether the geometry-algebra-topology grand unified theory really exists.
If it doesn't exist.
That's even more blood loss.
All the time and energy are invested, but the final gain is zero.
This bleak result seems unacceptable to any mathematician.
So.
Once you join Lu Gu's research group, you will have to bear a considerable risk factor.
Although, there is Gu Lu in the research team who always creates miracles.
but……
No one can be sure that Gu Lu will still create a miracle this time.
No matter how strong Gu's law is, when the unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology itself does not exist, why can't it be created out of nothing?
Gu Lu dared to bet because Gu Lu was still young.
But they are not willing to gamble with Gu Lu!
One or two years are wasted.
This is a consequence that no mathematician can bear.
This is true even for Gu Lu.
Because once Gu Lu has no more results before the next Fields Medal award ceremony, Gu Lu will most likely lose the opportunity to win the Philippine Prize.
Everyone is not sure why Gu Lu started such a project with an extremely high risk factor.
But for everyone who saw the convening order issued by Yan Da Shu Yuan.
After the initial excitement, everyone analyzed the pros and cons and began to hesitate.
after all……
Do you want to join Gu Lu's research group?
Everyone was very confused.
The advantages and disadvantages of joining a research group are obvious.
The advantage is naturally that I can work with Gu Lu, a legendary figure in the world of mathematics, and build a close relationship with Gu Lu, hugging Gu Lu's lap tightly.
Once Gu Lu successfully constructs the unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology, while Gu Lu is eating meat, everyone can drink some soup and add a gorgeous touch to their resumes.
And the shortcomings...
The disadvantage is naturally that the risk factor is high. Once it fails, you will lose all your money.
The advantages and disadvantages are now in front of everyone, and whether to join or not can only depend on everyone's individual wishes.
This is a gamble.
Some people choose to seek stability.
And some people.
Choose to go all-or-nothing.
…………
Hua Guo, Tsinghua University.
Xu Chenyang looked at the news on the Internet, with a flash of joy on his face, "What, Professor Gu is going to start a new topic, and it is a unified theory of geometry-algebra-topology. Sure enough, Professor Gu will not let me down!"
"Hey, is there still a summoning order? I just finished the last topic and wanted to take a break. But since Professor Gu chose to start a new topic, of course I joined without hesitation. I just didn't know that in such fierce competition,
Professor Gu, can you choose me?"
Xu Chenyang's eyes were excited, then he opened his mailbox and sent a self-recommendation letter to Gu Lu.
Gu Lu started a new project, and if given the chance, Xu Chenyang would certainly choose to join.
after all.
Xu Chenyang is one of Gu Lu's little fans.
Xu Chenyang still vividly remembers Gu Lu's grace at the Mathematicians Conference back then.
Xu Chenyang did not expect to catch up with Gu Lu.
but……
Xu Chenyang is walking step by step on the path that Gu Lu has walked.
…………
Denmark.
Professor Alec, known as one of the top three geniuses in the world, is sitting comfortably in his apartment, browsing the forum.
Since being completely defeated by Gu Lu a year and a half ago, Alec has become a lot more Buddhist.
Alec, who used to want to get involved in everything, has now become indifferent.
but……
Since the competition in the topology world is not very fierce, Alec still maintains the title of one of the three geniuses in the topology world.
And now, Alec is sitting in his room with a computer in front of him, acting as a qualified melon-eater.
Gu Lu's return is a big deal.
Alec was almost full.
Alec himself did not expect that as soon as Gu Lu returned, he would challenge the super difficult problem of a unified theory of geometry, algebra and topology.
Who gave him the courage?
Could it be that Gu Lu thought that he was invincible after defeating him?
Say it again.
No matter how strong Gu Lu is on his own, he cannot support such a huge project.
A capable assistant is indispensable.
And those great men in mathematics all cherish their feathers very much, and it is basically impossible for them to go to the distant country of China to work as an assistant to Gu Lu.
In addition, this subject itself is extremely risky, and even fewer people are willing to go.
Therefore, Alec estimated that in the end, Gu Lu could only summon a group of mathematicians from the middle and lower levels of the mathematics community to help.
As for the top mathematicians, probably none of them would want to go.
"Hey, Gu Lu, this time I will just watch you finish playing quietly!" Alec rubbed his chin and smiled.
There is no top math expert in the research team, so Gu Lu alone cannot support it.
Alec sat back and waited for Gu Lu to fail.
"Comfortable, comfortable!"
Alec felt happy inside.
Just when Alec was humming a tune and preparing to have fun with the netizens on the forum, suddenly, Alec's cell phone on the table rang.
I looked at the caller.
Alec was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair.
"Gu...Gu Lu!"
That's right.
To be continued...
