Chapter 69
What Ming Xia decides to try to prove is actually "1+1", which is listed as one of the world's three major mathematical conjectures, namely "Goldbach's Conjecture".
It was Wen Yarou's unintentional words that reminded her that "Goldbach's conjecture" is as famous as "Riemann Hypothesis".
Perhaps, in the eyes of today's people, "Goldbach's conjecture" is not as practical as the "Riemann Hypothesis". After being proved, many formulas and theories can be proved together, as if it is just a mathematician. A meaningless guess came out.
But just as Copernicus proposed the theory of the center of the sun, the Italian thinker Bruno agreed with his theory and opposed the theory of the center of the earth. He was sentenced as "heretic" and burned to death in Rome's Campo de' Fiori, and was not rehabilitated until four hundred years later.
Many truths, which may be doubted at the time, will be proved and applied later. Those who do not understand the true meaning of the "Goldbach Conjecture" will only use it as a prop for grandstanding, trying to prove it to bring themselves social fame and prestige.
But in fact, as an important subject of the distribution of prime numbers, the importance and significance of "Goldbach's conjecture" are actually great.
………
"Contestant No. 6, Ming Xia, get ready to go on stage and start waiting."
Ming Xia was still recalling her memories of the "Goldbach Conjecture" when she suddenly heard a reminder from a staff member and responded. Quickly withdraw his thoughts and focus on this elite competition.
As we all know, the National Top Ten Elite Competition of the "Light of Hope" English Talent Competition is actually a speech contest, or it can also be said to be a speech show, which is to satisfy the audience's desire to watch the official competition.
This year's competition mainly revolves around the word "history". The content of the speech and the audience it attracts are mainly people who like English or history. Excited to listen to popular science.
After all, this is a program hosted by China Central Television. People who can make it to today's arena are definitely not only good at English, but also have outstanding knowledge, insights, and opinions, which can be used as an example for the current nationals. The existence of benchmarking learning.
And Ming Xia, as the exceptionally clean HMO number one in the national competition, naturally attracted everyone's attention long ago.
Today, the topic of Ming Xia's speech is "Silk Road", which is a very famous and very proud historical experience in the history of China.
The "Silk Road" is divided into two parts: the "Land Silk Road" and the "Maritime Silk Road".
The "Silk Road on Land" originated in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, starting from the then capital Chang'an, which is now Xi'an, passing through Gansu, Xinjiang, Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting Mediterranean countries. land passage.
At the beginning, the "Silk Road on Land" was really just as the name suggests, it was used to transport the silk produced at that time. It was not until the 1870s that the German geological geographer Richthofen named this road the "Silk Road" in his book "China", which was quickly accepted by the academic circles and the public, officially use.
The "Maritime Silk Road" is a sea channel opened by China in ancient times in order not to "build a car behind closed doors" with foreign countries for transportation, trade and cultural exchanges. It mainly centers on the South China Sea, so it is also called the "South China Sea Silk Road". It was formed in the Qin and Han Dynasties, developed from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and transformed into the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the oldest sea route known today.
Five years ago, China, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan jointly applied for the eastern section of the overland Silk Road, that is, "Silk Road: Road Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor", successfully declared as a world cultural heritage, becoming the first transnational cooperation And the projects that have successfully applied for World Heritage are very constructive.
One year before the successful declaration, national leaders also put forward the strategic concept of building a "New Silk Road Economic Belt", which also has a very large impact on the current economy.
Until last year, Anna Paolini, the UNESCO official responsible for the Gulf region and Yemen affairs, said in Muscat that China's "Silk Road" is a model of interaction between different cultures and ethnic groups around the world.
...
Gong Zizhen, a litterateur in the Qing Dynasty, once said in "Ding'an Sequel", "If you want to destroy a country, you must first destroy its history, and if you want to destroy your family, you must first destroy its culture."
This sentence, in ancient times, is the burnt Old Summer Palace in Huaguo, and those precious cultural relics that were looted; in the future interstellar era, it is Huaguo that has never appeared in history; in today's world, it is other countries Constant attempts at cultural aggression.
Will the culture of other countries have our own culture? The thousands of years of history in Huaguo can't compare to their casual imitation?
Even if they have strengths, then we can also learn from others and improve ourselves, instead of blindly liking the culture of other countries, and in turn laughing at the fact that a certain development in our own country is really low.
This is absolutely impossible!
We are not afraid of other countries trying to invade culturally. What we are afraid of is that we have forgotten the history and culture of our motherland.
Ming Xia chose "Silk Road" as the theme of this speech because he wanted to tell everyone that our country itself is already excellent and is getting better and better. We must learn to be proud of this instead of thinking that "this is all out-of-date".
If, in the eyes of some people, these histories and these advances are "outdated" because they are not just out, then Ming Xia feels that it is great that she can be on the hot search and can make these "popular" ".
Even if it was just on a whim, she went to learn about it, and she believed that more people would fall in love with history, love the motherland and the culture of the motherland more.
Speech, in fact, not only needs to be meticulously crafted for the speech, but also for the speaker's demeanor, body language, including the entire aura it brings to people, which will affect the judges' scoring.
The quality and connotation of Ming Xia's speech are sufficient, and I love history and the motherland myself, and my emotions are naturally revealed. In addition, I don't care about the results of the competition, but just want to use the influence of the program to promote history. He also behaved very freely, with a typhoon atmosphere, which made several judges very satisfied.
Chinese people are more reserved and introverted, so the judges all nodded with a smile and showed appreciation, but the foreign judge was not like this, he liked Ming Xia's speech very much, so he applauded generously.
"Your speech really shocked me as usual. (Your speech really shocked me as usual.)" Picking up the microphone, he commented.
Ming Xia was taken aback for a moment, looked carefully at the foreign judges, and suddenly realized.
Seeing "I remember it" on her face, the foreign judges smiled, put down the microphone, and scored with several other judges.
Here, just after Ming Xia's speech was over, the people squatting on the live broadcast camera began to perform their own performances.
People who are fans of Mingxia, put this live broadcast cut on station b, and completed the most part of the collection;
some people who like English posted a circle of friends, with a picture of Mingxia, and praised Miss Sister for her good English, She is still so beautiful;
some people who love history posted on Weibo with tags, which shows that Xia’s science popularization this time is also very good. It not only tells about the "Silk Road", but also lets everyone understand that Huaguo not only has History is also developing rapidly today.
Weibo hot searches, QQ push and Baidu real-time hot search, etc., all mentioned Mingxia.
Because of the end of the "Light of Hope" English talent competition, Ming Xia entered the elite competition with a high-profile attitude all the way. Someone found out that she is now a member of the national team based on her experience on the hot search.
As a result, the three topics of #明夏国际#, #HMO, IMO, 望者之光#, #我就想知道她大学结果读哪个专业# began to soar.
Wei Wei doesn’t want Wei Wei: As a person who has lived in the UK for six years, Ma Ma asked me why I watched the English competition on my knees... Ma Ma hit me in the face, I wanted to compete in English with her, and I thought it might be about the same level Well, she turned out to be the national team's woo woo woo #HMO、IMO、望者之光#
Little cutie: Originally, I was just a fan of Miss Sister, but slowly, I became a fan of Miss Sister's history science, and now I am If you want to become a fan of Mathematics for Miss Sister... just ask Miss Sister what else do you want? I must study hard and try not to be a scumbag fan, which will embarrass you! #明夏国际#
Pig’s Trotter: Miss Mingxia, the first in the "Light of Hope" English talent contest, the whole history of popular science is estimated to be a historical leader, the first in the HMO national finals, and now she is still the national team... OKK! I'm really curious! #我就想知道她大学研究实际研究#
......
So far, this year's "Light of Hope" English Talent Contest has officially come to an end.
Ming Xia is undoubtedly the number one, Wen Yarou's results are also good, she took the third place, and the second Ming was the previous national finals, Ming Xia and him chatted about history on stage as if no one else was around, and was even rejected by the host. The Wei Qian who reminded me was a little thin, not tall, and wore a pair of glasses, but he was well educated, and his goal was Jinghua University.
Before, the two had added WeChat privately. Although they didn't chat much, they had a good impression of each other.
"See you next time. If you have time, we can exchange history." Wei Qian also had his family come to pick him up, and before leaving, he specially greeted Ming Xia.
Ming Xia agreed with a smile.
After the game was over and the flight was in the evening, Ming's father and Ming's mother took Ming Xia, Wang Fei, Wu Qiqi and Wen Yarou to a restaurant to have a meal together, thinking of something to order, something that was happy.
In the afternoon, they also said they wanted to watch a movie. Ming Xia originally planned to refuse, but in the end, when he heard that the big movie "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden Palace" will be available in the cinema today, she couldn't help but watch it.
Just like what she learned from Gu Huizhou, being a restorer of cultural relics in the Forbidden Palace is very hard. It depends on love and persistence. You must be able to sit still, and you must always be able to sit still, not to be fooled by the fame and fortune of the outside world. absorb.
But in the same way, people like Gu Huizhou who truly love restoring cultural relics will feel that being able to do this job is already very happy, and naturally they will not be seduced by the ups and downs of the outside world.
After staying in Shoujing for more than a month, at night, when I took the flight back, Ming Xia suddenly felt a sense of belonging that "I can finally go home".
Seeing that they were all together and that the other passengers were more talkative and kind, they agreed to change seats.
It was night, and it was pitch black outside the window, and all he could see were the lights on the plane. Ming Xia had no interest, so he took out the "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" that he hadn't finished reading before, and started to pass the time.
My daughter likes to study. After such a long period of time, Ming's father and Ming's mother have gotten used to it, so they don't ask what book she is reading and let her have fun. It can even be said that it doesn't matter if Ming Xia reads online novels in front of them. They believe in her self-control and are happy that she has such a relaxing hobby.
However, after boarding the plane, it wasn’t just Ming Xia. Wang Fei was doing English listening questions with earphones on. Analysis of College Entrance Examination Papers"...
Ming's father and Ming's mother were shocked.
Xia Xia loves to study, and they are used to it. It is said that Wu Qiqi and Wen Yarou's grades have always been very good, and they can understand it, but even Wang Fei is so addicted to studying? Didn't this kid keep saying that he hates studying?
