From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 183 Have you thought of it again?
Lin Mo listened to Marina's explanation, and his mind was running wildly, absorbing this knowledge and experience.

"The above is my understanding of high-dimensional spaces and the spheres inside them. How about it? Can it be helpful to you?"

Lin Mo did not answer immediately, but began to think seriously. After thinking for a long time, he did not get any inspiration.

Lin Mo frowned unconsciously.

"Lin, don't worry. Problems in string theory cannot be solved so quickly. If it doesn't work..."

Hearing Marina trying to persuade him again, Lin Mo waved his hand.

"Marina, I really don't have any good ideas at the moment. I may need some time to digest the knowledge you just taught me. Maybe after I digest them, I may be able to grab a glimmer of inspiration and find a direction."

"Okay, Lin, don't be too entangled. Research cannot be completed in one day. You must pay attention to the balance between work and rest. I heard Gangzi say that you have recently..."

Although Marina is far away in Zurich, she still has a lot of communication with Shan Gang on a daily basis. She got a lot of news about Lin Mo from Shan Gang, as well as some developments at the Mathematics Research Center.

After all, she is considered a member of the Mathematics Research Center of Dongshan University.

Lin Mo expressed his gratitude to Marina for her concern, but he couldn't get any inspiration from Marina. Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He exchanged greetings with Marina for a few more words, and then he was about to say goodbye to Marina and hang up the phone.

"By the way, Lin, have you ever considered the Poincaré conjecture?"

Just when Lin Mo was about to hang up the phone, Marina suddenly seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

"The Poincaré conjecture?"

"Yes, Poincaré's conjecture. Although Poincaré's conjecture is about a three-dimensional ball, if this theory is extended to four or even five dimensions, if it is also true..."

Lin Mo immediately thought of Poincaré. He said that every simply connected, closed 3-dimensional manifold is homeomorphic to a 3-dimensional sphere.

In other words, no matter how the shape of the three-dimensional popular shape changes, as long as it is single-connected and closed, it is homeomorphic with the three-dimensional ball, and can be said to be a part of the three-dimensional ball.

This made Lin Mo's eyes light up. The next moment, countless inspirations came to Lin Mo's mind. His keen talent was activated and his science points dropped sharply.

"Lin? Lin?"

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"What's going on? The network is stuck?"

"Damn operator!"

As Marina was talking, she saw that Lin Mo on the opposite side had no movement or sound. She thought it was because the network was stuck.

Just when Marina was about to hang up the video, Lin Mo suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, Marina, thank you. What you just said really enlightened me!"

"You're welcome, eh? Lin, what did you think of? Could you have already..."

Marina had an expression of disbelief on her face.

"No, no, it's just your words that suddenly gave me a lot of inspiration, allowing me to find a new breakthrough and direction. It will take a while before I can prove it."

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
Need a little more time?
In other words, you have found the idea of ​​​​proof?

Marina was shocked, what did I just say?
Is the Poincaré Conjecture really useful?
Have you thought about it again?
But if Poincaré’s conjecture is useful, wouldn’t AdS/CFT have been proven long ago?
"Marina, you have really helped me a lot. If this problem can be proven, you must be credited!" "Uh..."

Marina opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Marina, I won't disturb you anymore. I need to seize the time to research this issue."

After saying that, before Marina could reply, Lin Mo had already hung up the phone.

Lin Mo moved his hands and quickly wrote down the thoughts in his mind with a pen.

After recording all the inspiration in his mind, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that more than 1000 science points were missing on his system panel, Lin Mo was not at all depressed, but instead very excited.

The reason why he was so excited was that he gained research inspiration. Another very important aspect was that this inspiration allowed him to verify one thing.

That is, even without face to face, he can still get inspiration through his keen talent.

In the past, every time he got inspiration, the other party was by his side, discussing problems with him. For example, he and Bill Carr studied the Kratz conjecture, and he and Marina studied the NS equation together, and at the mathematicians conference, he obtained There are countless inspirations, all of which are very close to him and the object of inspiration.

This made Lin Mo once think that if he wanted to activate his keen talent and obtain inspiration, he had to get in close contact with the other party.

But now, this inspiration has proven that his idea was wrong.

To turn on the keen talent and obtain inspiration, he does not need close contact. He only needs to communicate with the other party. However, he does not know whether this kind of communication requires seeing the other party. He does not know whether it can be achieved through the phone. This has yet to be verified.

But no matter what, this is good news for Lin Mo.

This allows him to get inspiration in the future. Without space restrictions, he can communicate with more experts and scholars to get inspiration.

For example, the top mathematicians he met at the World Congress of Mathematicians, such as Masur, Morishigefumi, etc., whenever he needs, he can call them via video chat, discuss academic issues with them, and then get inspiration.

This allowed Lin Mo to see his unlimited future.

This is what really excites Lin Mo.

However, there are worries as well as joys.

What Lin Mo has to worry about is that his science points are not enough.

Seeing that he had less than [-] science points left, Lin Mo felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

It cost more than 1000 points to get inspiration this time. If he has to spend so many science points every time he gets inspiration in the future, his current science points will not be able to support him a few times.

Moreover, the system canceled daily tasks and turned them into long-term tasks. As a result, the 100 science points that Lin Mo could earn every day were gone. Instead, they were replaced by 20000 science points that could be obtained at one time after completing the long-term tasks. This seems to be , the science points obtained seem to have increased, but it also delayed Lin Mo's time to obtain science points.

If Lin Mo fails to complete the long-term task before spending all his existing science points, he will be in a situation where he has no science points to use and cannot obtain inspiration, which will greatly delay his research progress.

This gave Lin Mo a sense of crisis.

At the same time, it also strengthened Lin Mo's determination to complete the long-term task no matter how hard or tiring it was.
