I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 996: The existence beyond the God of Mathematics!

As the secretary said, Ning Qingjun's email was very detailed and clear, saying that she, Qin Ke, and Tao Zhexuan had worked together to greatly optimize the earthquake prediction mathematical model provided by the European Meteorological Center, and based on The results were re-deduce based on the data sent last time.

"The latest prediction result still has three coordinates?" Professor Goldberg was a little surprised and a little lucky. It was okay. At least it proved that his European earthquake research team had not made any big mistakes. But looking further, his face Suddenly he became extremely solemn.

Ning Qingyun attached the specific three coordinate locations and detailed predictions.

The first coordinate is almost 100 kilometers offset from the coordinate predicted by the original old model. It is still 50 kilometers southeast of a large city with a population of one million in the European Mediterranean. The time is around 3:13 noon three days later (the error is about 1 hour), but the magnitude of the earthquake was only 5.5 and the focal depth was 18 kilometers. It would not cause disasters such as house collapse or casualties. At most, there would be slight property damage, which was not serious. Prediction accuracy: 97.8%.

The second coordinate is similar to the coordinate predicted by the original old model, but it is offset by 150 kilometers. The epicenter is exactly in the mountainous area. The magnitude can reach 6.0. The focal depth is 25 kilometers. It is expected to have little impact on the surrounding cities. As long as Just evacuate the people in the mountainous area, and the forecast time has changed to 5 days, which is enough time. Prediction accuracy: 95.9%.

The third coordinate was shifted by nearly 350 kilometers. The epicenter was changed to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. It is only 80.4 kilometers away from the nearest coastal city in Eagle Country. The focal depth is 70 kilometers. It is expected to occur around 4:23 four days later (before and after error). About 1 hour), a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 8.2 occurred. This strong earthquake will bring a huge tsunami, and most countries along the Atlantic coast will be threatened by huge waves! Prediction accuracy: 98.1%.

The main reason is that the severity of the last third earthquake warning message far exceeded expectations. A major earthquake occurred around 23: in the evening after most people fell asleep, and a large tsunami affected many countries. If no early warning was issued, the consequences would be disastrous.

Director Figueiredo saw Professor Goldberg's expression extremely ugly, and his heart started to beat wildly. He took a few steps over to take the printed email and read it.

After seeing this, he turned pale and asked in a trembling voice: "Professor Goldberg, do you think this prediction is credible?"

Even though Director Figueiredo now had great trust in the level of Qin Ke's team, the prediction was so shocking that he subconsciously confirmed it with Professor Goldberg again.

They were more shocked and curious.

Compared with Director Figueiredo and Professor Goldberg who were worried and anxious, most members of the earthquake research team were much calmer. For them, what they have studied all their lives is disasters, and they have no direct or indirect consequences of earthquakes. If we have studied it very clearly, we will naturally not be frightened, pitiful and panicked when we hear that a major earthquake is going to happen.

Director Figueiredo immediately ordered: "Okay! Professor Goldberg, now we have three steps. The first step is to have someone immediately send today's latest monitoring data to Xia Guo for a second deduction. The second step The first step is to immediately notify all relevant countries to prepare early warning and response. I think the prediction results of Academician Qin Ke’s team are unlikely to be wrong. Even the second deduction will only make minor adjustments. Now we must race against time! The third step is to send the detailed explanation of the latest model in the attachment to the earthquake research team so that they can study it seriously and improve their abilities!"

The earthquake research team is able to be 70-80% sure, and the time accuracy of earthquake prediction has been improved to the "day" level, which is considered a historic leap.

The views of Professor Jars Lawson of the University of Munich represent the attitudes of most team members:

……

In addition to being shocked, they were more curious about how their model was optimized and whether the prediction results this time were really accurate.

When he thought of this, Director Figueiredo quickly woke up from the shock and disbelief.

Yes, this is a blessing in misfortune. Fortunately, they sent this model to Academician Qin's team for inspection and optimization. If the warning was issued based on the original prediction results, the consequences would be even more serious.

"The occurrence of natural disasters is unavoidable, at least with the current technology. We are in awe of disasters and feel compassion for the affected people, so we hope to reduce losses through prediction. If Academician Qin's team can This time we have really succeeded in predicting earthquakes, and the time accuracy has been improved to the 'hour' level. It will be of epoch-making significance for human seismological research. Humanity can finally declare that it has defeated another 'impossible' . In view of the miracles that Academician Qin’s team has created in the past, we are more inclined to believe that they have done it, and we very much hope to master this great prediction technology.”

"Yes!" Director Figueiredo's words made Professor Goldberg regain his composure and immediately began to carry out Director Figueiredo's orders.

It is precisely based on this attitude that although it will take three or four days to know whether the prediction results are correct or not, the earthquake research team was still impatient after receiving the detailed optimization principles and processes as well as the optimized mathematical model from Ning Qingyun. Everyone in the waiting area is devoted to the research.

The current monitoring technology cannot directly observe the interior of the planet, and naturally cannot provide effective observation data on the gestation process of earthquakes and the various factors that affect this process. Moreover, various phenomena that may be related to earthquakes observed by relevant methods have shown It is extremely complex. No theory has yet been formed on which factors are direct and which factors are indirect. At most, it can only be judged indirectly through dozens of monitoring data such as the displacement of geotectonic activities and changes in rock tectonic stress waves. , so in the best case only a very rough estimate can be made.

You know, earthquake prediction has always been a scientific problem recognized by the world, and accurate earthquake prediction is considered "impossible".

Now Academician Xia Guoqin's team actually said that they have optimized their earthquake prediction mathematical model, revised their original prediction results, and improved the accuracy of the prediction. They have even predicted the epicenter, focal depth, and specific time nodes?

Professor Goldberg looked bitter and shook his head: "If even the predictions of Academician Qin's team can't be trusted, then probably no team's predictions can be trusted. Academician Qin's team can't even predict the emergence of a 'super giant sun' in the next few years." Storms can be predicted, and there is no doubt that this earthquake was predicted a few days later. Mr. Figueiredo, we must act immediately."

In terms of scientific research level, Director Figueiredo is far inferior to Professor Goldberg, but in terms of political sensitivity and psychological endurance, he is much better than Professor Goldberg.

Yes, the urgent need now is to take action now!

……

In fact, not only the European Meteorological Center, but meteorological centers in various countries have received the "Mathematical Model for Earthquake Prediction" and the "Application Program for the Large Earthquake Prediction Model" issued by Ning Qingyun. The former is a detailed mathematical model, and the latter is an attached The computer program with the source code is transformed according to the mathematical model. The meteorological centers of various countries can run it directly on the computer, or they can modify the source code according to the country's supercomputing system and repackage it into a computer program so that it can be used in their own supercomputing system. run on.

No matter which of the above methods is used, as long as you follow the specific operating guidelines and requirements and import the earthquake monitoring data of your country and region into this computer program every day, you can more accurately predict the probability and specific occurrence of earthquakes in your country within 10 days. time and location. Almost the whole world was shocked.

This is the first large model in human history that claims to be able to accurately predict earthquakes!

Meteorological centers from various countries have made inquiries to Qin Ke's office in Xia State. These calls are usually answered by assistant Chen Ya, and then transferred to Ning Qingyun or Tao Zhexuan to answer, because Qin Ke is still resting - excessive After exerting a huge amount of energy, Qin Ke fell asleep for a full 48 hours this time.

In response to the inquiry calls from various meteorological centers, Ning Qingyun and Lao Tao just said calmly that this large earthquake prediction model was a secondary optimization made by their team based on the research results of the European Meteorological Center's earthquake research team. , is relatively mature. Considering that earthquakes have occurred all over the world in recent years, in order to provide early warning of disasters and reduce losses to the greatest extent, after collective deliberations by the "decision-making team", this large prediction model was specially sent to various meteorological centers with in-depth cooperation to facilitate Everyone shares scientific research results and jointly promotes the progress of human civilization.

After listening to Ning Qingyun and Tao Zhexuan's explanations, the meteorological centers of most countries secretly called them lucky.

This is a super benefit! Sure enough, the decision to conduct in-depth scientific research cooperation and share results with Academician Qin’s team was the most correct and wise decision!

They all solemnly expressed their gratitude and carefully made a request, that is, I hope you can explain this mathematical model to everyone, because it is too difficult, even if the specific mathematical model is attached to the email, it will not work. Few mathematicians can fully understand it.

Later, even the European Meteorological Center's earthquake research team sent a similar request because they found that after two or three days of in-depth research, they could not fully grasp this prediction model... The use of NS equations in it was too advanced. They They only know it but don't know why. They all eagerly hope to get direct guidance from Academician Qin's team.

Such fervent calls reached their peak three days later when a 3-magnitude earthquake occurred as scheduled at a predicted coordinate in the Mediterranean Sea.

The first prediction came true!

And it is very accurate. The actual measured magnitude, epicenter, and focal depth are almost consistent with the predicted results, with only an error of about 0.01%!

European countries were greatly shocked, and they paid great attention to the next two warning messages. The originally slow evacuation work, reinforcement of seawalls and other disaster prevention and response work were accelerated dozens of times, which made 23 The damage caused by an 8.2-magnitude earthquake in the Atlantic Ocean was minimized.

Five days later, all three earthquake warnings were confirmed to be highly accurate!

Such nearly perfect prediction results instantly detonated the media around the world.

"The large-scale earthquake disaster prediction model established by the team of Academician Qin Ke of Xia State successfully predicted earthquakes in advance with amazing accuracy! 》

"Earthquakes are no longer unpredictable!" The history of human disaster prevention has entered a new era! 》

"Pay tribute to the great scientists and thank them for their indelible contributions to protecting the safety of human life and property!" 》

Meteorological centers in various countries did not bother to ask Qin Ke's team to explain this mathematical model, and quickly put it into practical application to predict whether earthquakes will occur in their own regions and respond in advance.

For the scientific research community, what is even more amazing than this large earthquake prediction model is that the core mathematical formula of this optimization work was actually derived by Academician Qin Ke who spent most of the day.

In other words, Academician Qin Ke solved a major problem that humans have not been able to solve for many years in half a day!

For a time, Qin Ke's already highly publicized reputation as the "God of Contemporary Mathematics" once again caused a sensation in the entire scientific research and academic circles. The famous professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, Kenenisa Johnson, even made no secret of it in an interview with the media. Praise: "I think Academician Qin's talent and achievements in mathematics have surpassed all the mathematicians we have known in the past, including Gauss, Euler, Riemann, Poincaré, Pythagoras and other so-called mathematicians. The great mathematicians who are the ‘gods of mathematics’.”

It is said that because of this prediction model, many people called for this year's Nobel Peace Prize to continue to be awarded to Qin Ke.

Because of this prediction model, Qin Ke's prestige in the "World Conference of Ten Thousand Scientists" is at its peak, and no one dares to question it easily.

Although this is not a good phenomenon in normal times, blind personality worship is not conducive to academic progress, but in the critical period when the scientific research community is concentrating on promoting the "Planet Shield" plan, such a lofty prestige can make Qin Ke even more Conveniently flex his muscles to ensure that the entire plan progresses steadily according to his vision.

……

"Then let's give a lecture." Qin Ke had a good sleep, and when he woke up he was full of energy. He readily agreed to the sincere request from the meteorological centers of various countries.

There are still many natural disasters that require the scientific research teams of meteorological centers in various countries to build prediction models. Qin Ke does not mind improving their mathematical modeling capabilities as much as possible, especially the understanding and application of NS equations and their derived changes. , to improve the prediction success rate of natural disasters such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, mudslides, and floods, and to further enhance human beings' ability to withstand natural disasters.

In the end, the lecture lasted for a week. Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, and Tao Zhexuan took turns giving lectures for two hours every day, trying to explain the mathematical model as deeply and thoroughly as possible.

For Ning Qingyun and Lao Tao, this is also a process of learning and improvement, which gives them a deeper understanding of the NS equation.

……

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ke's work life has been busy for nearly a month.

Shimmer finally sent a new report:

"Master Qin Ke, my new body has been created!"
