From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 11

Not long after, a huge roulette appeared on Zhouyi's retina,

A very small pointer spins wildly on it.

Zhou Yi looked at the pointer across countless things, and it seemed that another spiritual energy was injected into his mind, which brought a different luck to Zhou Yi in the dark. At this moment, Zhou Yi shouted loudly in his heart:
"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the proof method for 23 of Hilbert's 18 questions, that is, using congruent polyhedra to construct a space (crystal group theory)."

Zhou Yi was stunned, full of disbelief.

whatfuck?

Once sent into the soul, directly into Europe?

Hey, if you prove this by yourself, you can directly become a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Yuda University, and maybe you will have to win some kind of international mathematician award.

Become a well-known scholar in one fell swoop, from now on you can eat meat every day, every meal. As for hot pot, it may be a bit extravagant, but it may be okay to eat once a month;

Calm down, calm down.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath and began to recall Hilbert's 23 questions.

Hilbert's 23 problems are well-known in the mathematics world,
Every student in the mathematics department basically knows it, and Zhou Yi is certainly no exception.

In August 1900, at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians held in Paris, Hilbert, who was only 8 years old, was invited to give a famous lecture called "Mathematical Problems".

In this historic speech, he put forward many important ideas: Just as every human enterprise pursues a definite goal, mathematical research also needs its own problems.

At this meeting, Hilbert proposed 19 unresolved mathematical problems based on the achievements and development trends of mathematical research in the 23th century, namely the famous "Hilbert's 23 mathematical problems".

This conference is an important milestone in the history of mathematics, and the 23 questions he raised are even more outstanding and far-reaching.

One of the most famous problems is Riemann's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, and the twin prime conjecture. (three conjectures in one question)
This problem has not been resolved so far.

Whoever can solve it will be able to win various awards in the mathematics world, and maybe even become the No. 1 in the world's mathematics world in one fell swoop.

In addition to these famous problems, in fact, some of the 23 problems have not been solved, or some of them have been solved.

Among them, the No.18 question was only partially solved.

Zhou Yi vaguely remembered that someone gave them popular science back then,
Question No.18, using the congruent polyhedron to construct the space is another way of saying, that is, whether the non-regular polyhedron can densely pave the space, and the closest arrangement of spheres is composed of three parts,

The first part of Euclidean space has only a limited number of different kinds of motion groups with basic regions;

The second part includes whether there are polyhedrons that are not basic regions of motion groups but can fill the whole space with proper adjoining;
The first part was answered in the affirmative by German mathematician Bieberbach in 1910; the second part was partially solved by German mathematician Reinhart in 1928 and Hesch in 1935;

The third part, the problem of the closest arrangement of an infinite number of equal polyhedrons of a given form has not been solved so far.

Now Zhou Yi has the proof process of the last part in his mind.

However, at the current level of Zhouyi, a certain amount of knowledge accumulation is still needed to thoroughly understand it.

It is useless to memorize it alone. If others ask a few derivative questions casually, it will be revealed.

So hastily announced and sent it out, and the explanation will not be clear at that time, it will lead to disasters instead of good things.

This is the reason why every man is innocent and conceives his crime.

A cooked duck can't fly, it's already rotten in the pot, it's just a matter of sooner or later.

Xia Xue, who was on the side, watched Zhou Yi's expression constantly changing, as if she was on a roller coaster, and wanted to ask, but because she was in the library and afraid of disturbing Zhou Yi, she didn't ask.

Zhou Yi thought for a while, how to publish this proof logically.

First of all, I must be a recognized academic master,

At least one must have a certain reputation in the Department of Mathematics of Yuzhou, and at least be recognized by the professors of the Department of Mathematics of Yuzhou University.

Secondly, as a super academic, the National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling and the National Undergraduate Mathematical Contest must be No.1, right?

The basic knowledge of the undergraduate mathematics department also needs a plenary session, right?
Only in this way can we pave the way for the process of publishing the proof.

It is best to publish a lot of SCI papers before that, that would be perfect.

Fortunately, the math competition is around November, and the time is near.

It's completely enough to play by yourself.

The only thing that makes Zhou Yi feel pity is that it is not Bill's conjecture, or the six unproven problems of Millennium,

Otherwise, 100 million US dollars will be beckoning to Zhou Yi.

100 million dollars! ! !
Zhou Yi sighed weakly again, how many years can he eat meat for every meal?

Wanting to eat meat, Zhou Yi couldn't sleep because of thinking about it every night.

However, regarding the third part of the 18-question proof, there have been some gossips.

Wanwan mathematician Xiang Mou announced the proof of Kepler's conjecture in 1993, but now he thinks it is wrong.

A certain well-known mathematician even belittled to nothing,
No one who has read the proof of this has the slightest doubt of its validity: it is nonsense.

The conjecture of Kepler (the one who discovered the three laws of planetary motion) is a conjecture based on the third question.

In academia and Vanity Fair, the fights there are no weaker than the fights in the battlefield, officialdom, and shopping malls. It is common to step on others to rise to the top.

Everyone can't wait to be famous, and can't wait for their own name to be printed on the textbooks, so that their real names will last forever and last forever.

值得一提的是，希尔伯特问题中的1-6是数学基础问题，7-12是数论问题，13-18属于代数和几何问题，19-23属于数学分析。

This No.18 question belongs to algebra and geometry.

Among them, the second and tenth questions have also promoted the growth of the current computer theory. It is no exaggeration to say that Hilbert is the piper of the mathematics kingdom.

Zhou Yi looked at his character attributes,
Mathematics: LV0, 250/1000; (Work hard to raise the math level to LV1, maybe you will discover a new world.)
Informatics: LV0, 100/1000; (Try to improve informatics to LV1, maybe you will find a new world of the Internet.)
Points: 170, Focus Capsule*6, (Points can be exchanged for some key knowledge and technologies, blueprints, and Focus Capsules, etc.)
Zhou Yi looked at the time, it was only 9:[-] in the evening, and the library would not close until half an hour of books could be read.

Xia Xue looked at Zhou Yi, who was a little crazy, and couldn't help but whispered:
"Senior?"

Only then did Zhou Yi regain consciousness, and then said excitedly:

"what?"

"The peonies in my hometown are blooming next year, do you want to go back and see them together?"
