Chapter 68
When leaving Jinghua University, Gu Huizhou was driving, and Ming Xia couldn't help sharing his feelings about listening to the lecture with him.
Gu Huizhou listened carefully, answered carefully, and added many details that were not mentioned due to the limited lecture time, which made Ming Xia very happy.
This is the advantage of getting to know the teacher who gave the lecture. You can continue to learn more knowledge you are interested in anytime, anywhere, just by chatting casually.
While chatting, Ming Xia suddenly realized that the road seemed to be wrong, so she hurriedly reminded Gu Huizhou.
"That's right." Gu Huizhou slowed down a little when he noticed a car in the front left turned on his turn signal, "Today is the Shangsi Festival, aren't you very interested? If you don't want to disturb the activities of the Hanfu Club, a park in Shoujing also has activities today , It's a bit out of the way, but you can go and have a look."
Instantly, Ming Xia's eyes lit up.
As the car drove all the way, the high-rise buildings on the side of the road gradually decreased, replaced by green trees.
After getting out of the car, we walked on the quiet gravel path, next to a round pond, the breeze blew, and the water surface rippled layer by layer, and the weeping willows by the pond also swayed gently, and the sprouting buds were full of vitality. The air to breathe is also very fresh.
Walking across the single-plank bridge, the tranquility is gradually broken, and people's voices can be heard faintly. If you walk a few steps over there, you can see people directly. It is like the Peach Blossom Spring mentioned by Mr. Jingjie. Many people are wearing Hanfu. There are also some who wear regular clothes like Ming Xia and the others, young and old, chatting and laughing happily.
"Little Gu is here?" Seeing Gu Huizhou, one of the old men in Quju stood up and greeted him, "This girl is..."
"Teacher Qu is very suitable for Quju, and she has a very good temperament." Gu Huizhou
Smiled , "This is my friend named Ming Xia. I knew that today is the Shangsi Festival. I was very interested, so I brought her along." I have always been interested in ancient culture. The Shangsi Festival event in the park today was also told by the old man to Gu Huizhou, so he thought that he could bring Mingxia here.
"Xiao Gu's friend?" Teacher Qu was a little surprised.
Gu Huizhou has been repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden Palace for several years. Although the two are not in the same group, they are familiar with each other. Teacher Qu naturally knows his love for cultural relics and his personality that likes to be alone.
Although there are many friends, they are basically casual acquaintances. It seems that only the boy surnamed Lei whom he knew as a child is the one he would take the initiative to admit as friends. The spare time of Gong Gong's restoration of cultural relics is used to accompany her to participate in activities of interest.
Professor Gu was so worried about his marriage, and the cultural relics restoration team in the Forbidden Palace also knew that, Teacher Qu couldn't help but look at Ming Xia twice.
The little girl is really good-looking, delicate and delicate, and very temperamental.
Teacher Qu asked, and learned that Ming Xia was 18 years old this year, and his heart moved slightly.
The age difference is not too big, it's more in ancient times, and boys are older and know how to take care of others, not to mention that Xiao Gu is so good and good-looking, he is self-disciplined, and his family background is also very good.
It just feels like the little girl really only regards Xiao Gu as a friend, but Xiao Gu thinks that he only regards the little girl as a friend.
But the boy from Lei's family occasionally takes vacations, and when he goes to the Forbidden Palace to find him, he still has to wait for him to get rid of the work at hand. He didn't say that he took the initiative to accompany him out, and he thoughtfully brought him to this place he wanted to come to...
oh yo.
With a "cha" sound in Teacher Qu's heart, a small lamp was lit, and she couldn't help secretly looking forward to it.
The activities in the park are all offline gatherings organized by ancient culture lovers themselves, but they also fit well with the Shangsi Festival, such as outings to enjoy flowers, and exchanging vanilla gifts, because the ancients believed that this would be of great benefit to the body.
There are many activities, but one of Ming Xia's favorites is "drinking banquets by the water". There are mat barriers, tea sets and flowers by the water for banquets, reciting poems and composing poems. The elegant spirit of literati prevailed in ancient times.
Nowadays, there are not many people who can compose poems. It is possible to compose couplets or recite ancient poems.
Because Mr. Qu gave vague guidance and hints, and everyone present was familiar with him, they deliberately teased the two newcomers, Gu Huizhou and Ming Xia.
It's a pity that both of them like history very much, so it's easy for them to say a few lines of poetry, and neither of them was punished.
This is not interesting.
Mr. Qu had an idea, asked about it, and learned that everyone knew something about couplets, so he proposed not to recite poems, but couplets, according to the order along the water, in groups of two, the former for the upper couplet, and the latter for the second couplet , Those who think they are wrong will be punished with a cup.
After all, they just came out to play and have fun. The alcohol they prepared was very low, and they wouldn't let the same person drink too much, so they didn't have to worry about embarrassment caused by drunkenness.
Knowing the rules of the game, Ming Xia was stunned.
It is true that she also knows some knowledge about couplets, such as plain and narrow, but the ancient culture is extensive and profound, which does not mean that she can make good couplets.
"Answer whatever you want, it's just a game." Noticing her struggle, Gu Huizhou comforted softly.
Their position is in the middle, and it will be their turn soon. Gu Huizhou hardly thought about it, and gave the first couplet: "Plum branch magpies call for spring and green."
Ming Xia frowned and thought for a while, just in time to see a peach blossom on the opposite side drop a petal, fluttering a little in the wind, falling into the In the water, he continued the next couplet with this: "Peach face is dyed red by wind and water." As soon as the second couplet was
said, Ming Xia felt very embarrassed. In terms of couplets, she is indeed a newcomer, and her level is not enough.
"It's because I didn't get out well."
Suddenly, Gu Huizhou who was at the side said so, picked up the wine glass in front of him, rolled his throat slightly, and drank it down in one gulp.
Ming Xia looked at him in surprise.
"When girls are outside, no matter how high or low the alcohol content is, or whether they are acquaintances or not, as long as the opposite sex is around, it is not advisable to drink." Putting down his glass, he smiled at the others, and Gu Huizhou explained softly.
Teacher Qu sitting next to him: [Mysterious Smile.jpg]
Gu Huizhou refused to let Ming Xia drink, but in the end, he forgot that he came by car and had a drink.
You can't drive after drinking, even if it's just a little bit, and I just received a call from Professor Gu, asking where they had fun and whether they would go home for dinner at night.
Knowing that Gu Huizhou had actually drank, even though it was only a glass, Professor Gu was shocked: "You don't drink well, and you don't like the astringent taste of wine. Didn't you never drink? Why did you suddenly drink too much? No?"
Gu Huizhou gave a low "hmm"; "Unfortunately, I had a lot of fun, I only drank one drink, and my prescription was very low,
so I'm fine." Hearing what he said, Professor Gu didn't ask any more questions, just said Get them home early for dinner.
The two found a substitute driver, sat in the back row together, and drove home.
The car window is slightly open, and the peach blossoms are blooming on both sides of the roadside.
Seeing that Ming Xia came back, the snow ball in the yard barked like an electric fan, and the tail behind it was flicking wildly, fully expressing its deep love for Ming Xia.
Ming Xia also likes to stroke it. Seeing this, she walked over, squatted down, and let it put its little paws on her hand, while the other hand was free to stroke the fur on its head. It was soft and warm. And.
"Xuetuan likes you very much." Gu Huizhou came over, stood aside and watched the interaction between a person and a dog, and concluded.
Ming Xia rubbed Xue Tuan's head, seeing it lying on the ground, showing her belly unsuspectingly, she couldn't help laughing: "I like it too, it's very cute." The
spring breeze is warm , the girl squatted on the path in the yard, her fair skin was as smooth as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body.
Gu Huizhou was inexplicably dazed.
For the first time, he realized that Ming Xia was really good-looking.
"Xia Xia, Hui Zhou, why don't you go in when you come back, dinner is already ready." Aunt Tang came out with a bowl of dog food, and seeing them all standing in the yard, she said casually.
Ming Xia turned her head, answered "OK" in a low voice, and went in with Gu Huizhou.
After a day of relaxation with Gu Huizhou, Ming Xia felt that the exhaustion of giving lectures and studying all day in the national training team was almost relieved.
No way, studying is something she likes, and she doesn't find it hard, but needs to change her mood occasionally.
So, from the second day of living in Gu's house, Ming Xia continued to study.
Now that it is determined, the next thing to write a paper to prove is the "Riemann Hypothesis". Naturally, we must start research and work hard to calculate and verify step by step.
Ming Xia just traveled back, and the theories she understands are all from the interstellar era. These theories are too ancient for her, so she can only learn the existing theories by herself and try to prove them.
There are too many books to read, and the range of choices is very wide.
Ming Xia used "Tuanzi" to do some screening, but there are still many choices. It just so happens that Professor Gu, a mathematics professor at Shoujing University, is at home, who can help her give her some reading suggestions, which saves a book and reads slowly. For the trouble, I screened out some books that I don't need to read.
The "Zhou's Conjecture" that Ming Xia had proved before was a conjecture about Mersenne prime numbers put forward by Chinese mathematicians. A well-known theory.
And this "Riemann hypothesis" is much more famous than "Zhou's guess".
People who understand "Zhou's guess" are still limited to a circle, such as those who pay attention to these guesses and theories in the mathematics world, or those who are interested in Mersenne prime numbers, but "Riemann Hypothesis" is understood by people outside the circle , a well-known hypothesis that has been recognized, is listed as one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world by the Clay Institute of Mathematics, also known as the seven "Millennium Problems".
These seven mathematical problems are NP-complete problems, Hodge conjecture, Poincaré conjecture, Riemann hypothesis, Yang-Mills existence and quality gap, Navel-Stoke equation, BSD conjecture.
According to the Clay Mathematics Institute, the first person to solve any of the seven problems will receive a million dollars.
And the reason why it can be listed in such a high position is because it does have such a meaning.
It has a relationship with many mathematical propositions "cutting constantly, making things messy". As early as seven years ago, more than a thousand mathematical propositions were established based on the "Riemann Hypothesis" or its extension proposed as a premise.
This also shows that once the "Riemann Hypothesis" and its extended form are proved, all the more than one thousand mathematical propositions can be promoted to theorems, and on the contrary, the more than one thousand mathematical propositions will inevitably become theorems. A large part became "funeral".
And this is only the data of seven years ago, let alone seven years later, the mathematics world has already developed further.
A mathematical conjecture is closely related to so many mathematical propositions, which can be said to be unique in the field of mathematics. Once it is proved, it will be like a giant stomping its feet, causing an absolute sensation in the world.
Of course, it is difficult enough to prove it.
Because of proving the success of "Zhou's Conjecture", although Ming Xia knew the difficulty and importance of "Riemann Hypothesis", she dared to go upstream to explore it.
But looking at it, Ming Xia realized that she overestimated herself and underestimated the difficulty of this theory.
If the theories of the interstellar era can be used, it is easy to prove the "Riemann Hypothesis", but the problem is that it cannot, and it is difficult to say a theory that is tenable enough for the theories she has read in those academic journals of mathematics. Foot proof.
Ming Xia fell into a tangle.
Because, she suddenly realized that the current subjects seem to be separated, and the majors in the university seem to have little influence on each other, and it seems that mathematics is the key to determining the results of other science majors.
But in fact, mathematics also needs other disciplines to support it. Among other things, it is basically impossible for her to prove the "Riemann Hypothesis" only with mathematical knowledge.
Due to personal interests, although Ming Xia usually mainly reads mathematics journals, he occasionally reads two articles in physics, geography, etc., so he probably has an idea, thinking that the "Riemann Hypothesis" should almost use affiliation The knowledge of quantum mechanics, which is classified into physics, is blank and lacking in this area of study.
Although it is said that mathematics majors in the interstellar era include materials and structures, spacecraft design, etc., all kinds of knowledge content, but in the 21st century, these are separate subjects that need to be studied specially, and she cannot take the future theory to prove what is present.
But the problem is that she only focused on the field of mathematics before, and sometimes it was difficult to understand more fields, and she was limited when she studied something she wanted to study.
There was never a time when Ming Xia was so clearly aware of this matter.
It's like, if she likes history, she can't ignore language and politics. For another example, since Gu Huizhou has a doctorate in archaeology, it's impossible for him to be bad at geography.
Sitting in the courtyard of the Gu family, hugging the snow ball, smoothing its fur, basking in the sun, squinting slightly, Ming Xia thought.
But since she probably won't be able to write the "Riemann Hypothesis" in the near future, then she needs to change the theory she plans to use to write a thesis, preferably a problem that can be solved directly with mathematics, or can be solved with shallower physics, etc. Theories from other disciplines are assisted by the side, the kind that does not require in-depth understanding.
But if it was a boring, superficial theory that anyone could understand, she wouldn't be interested in reading or writing about it...
Ming Xia couldn't help but frown, feeling deeply distressed.
"It's sunny and the wind is fragrant in the daytime. Why do you look so distressed in such a comfortable weather? Are you still worrying about Liman's hypothesis?" Gu Huizhou asked when he saw Ming Xia frown when he came out of his home.
Today, Gu Huizhou was not on duty, so he didn't go out to the Forbidden Palace. During the two days that Ming Xia lived in Gu's house, he would usually stay at home when he was not on duty, drinking tea and reading a book, or having a leisurely chat with her.
Hearing this, Ming Xia nodded, with mixed thoughts in his heart: "Basically, I just feel that I still know too little. I need to continue learning, and I feel that there are too many things to learn."
"If you want to understand the knowledge and use it for yourself, It can't be easy, after all, there is no limit to learning, and you can only work hard. But I think it's good to try your best, but don't put too much pressure on yourself." Gu Huizhou said.
But he also knew that Ming Xia might not be in a good mood now because he couldn't solve the problem he wanted to solve, just like he would sometimes feel depressed because the restoration of cultural relics was not going well.
At this time, you need to change the environment.
After thinking about it, he asked her: "Since the weather is so good, why don't you take the snowballs out for a walk and change your mood?"
Ming Xia agreed.
It is now mid-April, the temperature is gradually rising, and today the sun is very good, making people feel warm.
Without Ming's mother watching, Ming Xia's dressing style became more and more according to her own wishes. Anyway, it was only for daily wear, so she focused on simplicity and convenience. She just went out with cropped pants and a white T-shirt.
Gu Huizhou is not the kind of person who sticks to his image. When the weather is hot, when there is no lecture, he simply goes out in a white T-shirt and casual trousers.
The two walked along the side of the road, sometimes taking advantage of the coolness of the shade of the trees, and sometimes feeling the warmth of the sun. From the very beginning, the snow group screamed excitedly, and after running and jumping for a while, they began to "puff and puff".
It has to be said that exercise is indeed an effective tool to relieve one's mood. Even if she just took Xue Tuan for a walk, and even Gu Huizhou didn't talk to her, Ming Xia's mood improved spontaneously.
If the "Riemann Hypothesis" can be successfully proved, the impact on the mathematics world will definitely be century-like, even explosive. It will not only make Huaguo shine in the mathematics world, but also make the science of the entire 21st century a reality. Greatly irritated.
Isn't it just to learn another physics? study! Learning makes her happy! She can!
As for the paper that Cao Lulu casually talked about, there should be no rush for the time being, so Ming Xia decided to put it aside for the time being and think about it while reading physics.
"Why did you suddenly think of studying physics?" Professor Gu was surprised when he found that the book in Ming Xia's hand was "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffith.
The "Riemann Hypothesis" is nothing in the interstellar era, but it is still a world-class problem today, and there are many big names in mathematics working hard for it.
Ming Xia just thinks that she can do it, but she can't boast that she can definitely do it. After all, she wrote it by herself, instead of remembering other people's proof process, and she might not be able to prove it in the end, so she just replied, "I just suddenly found this interesting, and I want to know more about it."
Professor Gu suddenly felt emotional complex.
This girl, after wandering around in mathematics and English, is still not good enough, and she wants to go for a stroll in physics?
I really don't know what it will be like when the results of the college entrance examination come out...
No, this girl won the first place in the HMO national finals, entered the national team, and has to go to the IMO during the summer vacation. Did she agree? Which school do you want to send to?
Staying at Gu's house for four days is very short and fleeting. Ming Xia packed her luggage and was going to participate in the last national top ten elite competition of the "Light of Hope" English talent competition.
"I'll send you to report over there." Taking the car keys, Gu Huizhou said.
Ming Xia shook her head: "No, Xiaorou is already waiting for me at the door. We are all going to the competition, and we happen to be together. Aren't you going to work in the Forbidden Palace today? Go quickly.
" I went to say goodbye and thank them for their care these days.
"Xia Xia, I still have to come to Beijing to play during the summer vacation. Auntie will miss you very much." Aunt Tang hugged Ming Xia and said reluctantly.
During the few days that Ming Xia lived at home, she was obedient and clever. When she was not studying, she would come down to chat with her, Lao Gu and Hui Zhou. It really felt like raising another daughter, which was great.
Professor Gu was also very reluctant.
He hasn't discussed enough mathematics.
Rejected Gu Huizhou's suggestion to help carry the suitcase, and after saying goodbye, Ming Xia went out with the suitcase, asked Wen Yarou's driver to put it in the trunk, got in the car, and went to this last scene together The venue for the game.
Watching the car gradually drive away, Gu Huizhou closed his eyes.
Inexplicably, he felt a little depressed, which he attributed to his inability to continue daily conversations with his friends.
"I'm going to work." After talking to his parents, Gu Huizhou also went out. As usual, he went to the Forbidden Palace to restore cultural relics.
Aunt Tang was a little surprised: "Didn't you say you asked for leave today? Why are you going again?"
Professor Gu understood Gu Huizhou's thoughts better than her: "Hui Zhou asked for leave to send Xia Xia to the competition. But now, Xia Xia Went with Xiaorou, of course he went to work."
Aunt Tang: ...
What should I do if my son loves work so much, please ask for advice online, urgent!
On the 16th, it was the National Top Ten Finals of the "Light of Hope" English Talent Contest. The live broadcast was still on. Countless audiences had been waiting in front of the screen, and those present were even more anxious and curious about today's speech.
As for which contestant's speech is the one who is curious about, it goes without saying.
Today was Saturday, and because it was the last match, Wang Fei, Wu Qiqi, as well as Ming's father and Ming's mother, specially flew to the scene to cheer Ming Xia and the others.
"Sister Ming, I'm a little nervous." Knowing that Wang Fei and the others had come, Wen Yarou couldn't help becoming nervous for the first time when they were preparing backstage.
"Don't be nervous, you've prepared well, just perform normally." Holding her hand, Ming Xia encouraged, "Besides, you've put in so much hard work, and you will gain something, come on!"
Listen to Ming Xia Having said that, Wen Yarou suddenly felt that her nervous mood was much better.
"1+1 is still equal to 2. I started to learn English at a very young age. Even if I am stupid, I will get twice the result with half the effort. It will not be too miserable." She said.
1+1?
Hearing what Wen Yarou said, Ming Xia's eyes suddenly brightened.
1+1! Yep, she can try to prove the theory works!
Of course, this "1+1" is not the same as the "1+1" that primary school students learn.
