From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 85 Why is it more painful if this is proven than if it is not proven?
Seeing Lin Mo agree, Tian Fang breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Mo didn't agree, he would have to find other ways to get the reward of 100 million US dollars. He might have to use legal means, but transnational litigation would not work. Knowing how long it would take, thinking about Tian Fangyi felt troublesome.

But the good thing is that Lin Mo agreed. As for the price issue, we can discuss it slowly. Anyway, the algorithm cannot be developed in a day or two.

Tian Fangyi was in a good mood.

"Old Tian, ​​we also have bigger good news to tell you."

Seeing that Tian Fangyi was in a good mood, Zhang Qihua also spoke.

"Oh? Bigger good news? What good news is bigger than mine?"

"You know what Lin Mo is studying recently, right?"

"I know, isn't it Kakeya's conjecture? What's wrong? Are you telling me that Lin Mo has completed the proof of Kakeya's conjecture? How is that possible? How long has he been studying it for?"

Zhang Qihua looked at Tian Fangyi expressionlessly and rolled his eyes slightly.

Tian Fangyi looked at Zhang Qihua's expression, the smile on his face faltered, and his mouth slowly opened wide.

How long has it been, haven't we just completed the proof of Kratz's conjecture?I haven't even received the reward yet, so how come...

Also, that is Kakeya’s conjecture, a conjecture that has remained unsolved for a century!
Kratz's conjecture was proved before, and in just a few days, Kakeya's conjecture was proved again. This speed...

Tian Fang was a little confused.

You must know that whether it is Kratz's conjecture or Kaketani's conjecture, they are both famous conjectures and major problems in the world of mathematics. They are not some three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation, nor are they some Mathematical Olympiad problem sets. But now, Tian Fangyi Why does it feel like there is no difference between the three in front of Lin Mo?
"me……"

"Just as you guessed."

Tian Fangyi's face was full of shock. This news was really hard for him to believe and he couldn't accept it. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the others.

Shan Gang saw Tian Fang looking over and shrugged.

Birkar had a smile on his face and looked like he still had something to say.

Seeing Tian Fang looking over, Lin Mo nodded.

"Director Tian, ​​we have completed the proof of Kakeya's conjecture. However, this is not important. In fact, this is somewhat different from the project we applied for on Fourier transform restriction issues."

"I had a discussion with Bill Carr just now. Solving the problem of Kaguya's conjecture cannot completely solve the restrictive problem of Fourier transform, so..."

"This is my mistake, which caused the project direction to go astray and delayed the progress of the project. This...I will catch up with the progress as soon as possible...to make up for the time wasted due to my reasons."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, the shock on Tian Fangyi's face gradually turned into ecstasy, but as he listened... Tian Fangyi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Listen, is this human?

Prove that Kakeya’s conjecture is due to research errors?
Can you give me a few more mistakes like this?I really want to make such a mistake.

Do you call proving Kakeya's conjecture a waste of time?
How did your 37-degree mouth say such heart-wrenching words?

Tian Fang's mouth opened wide, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, Lin Mo, since there is a mistake in the Fourier transform, let's just put it aside for now. Let's study the NS equation first."

After a long silence, Shan Gang finally broke the silence and brought the topic back to the issue she was most concerned about.

But Lin Mo just shook his head.

"Gangzi, there's no rush."

"Why isn't this urgent..." Shan Gang suddenly became anxious. She joined the Mathematics Research Center because of the NS equation. Now that she finally saw hope, how could she not be anxious.

If someone had told her before that someone could solve the NS equation problem, she might still have doubts. But after seeing Lin Mo solve the Kakeya conjecture problem in such a short time, Shan Gang suddenly saw hope. She is now I really feel that Lin Mo may really be able to solve the NS equation problem.

So hope is right in front of her. How can she not be in a hurry?She couldn't wait to start studying NS equations immediately.

So when he heard Lin Mo say there was no rush, Shan Gang suddenly became anxious.

"The NS equation is not easy to solve, so you need to make some preparations before doing it again, such as the Fourier transform restriction problem."

Lin Mo saw Shan Gang's thoughts and started to explain.

"Solving NS equations is a systematic work, and Fourier transform is an important part of this systematic work. Therefore, I think that before studying NS equations, we should solve the Fourier transform problem and sharpen it properly. A woodcutter."

"This is also the reason why two long-term and short-term projects were established respectively for NS equations and Fourier transform when the project was first established."

Afraid that Shan Gang wouldn't understand, Lin Mo added another sentence.

Shan Gang opened his mouth, his mind buzzing.

So I understood it wrong?Emotional people are not just trying to sell people off, but they actually have plans and plans?
me……

Shan Gang was so ashamed that she could carve out a three-bedroom apartment. Fortunately, she didn't tell anyone her previous thoughts, otherwise...

Shan Gang shuddered, feeling Lin Mo's concerned and inquiring gaze, and nodded his head like a pounding garlic.

"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay."

"No, why aren't you happy and excited about such a big thing as proving Kakeya's conjecture?"

Tian Fangyi had already recovered from the shock.

Lin Mo glanced at the system panel again. The progress of Challenge Mission 2 was still 1/100.

Lin Mo couldn't help but shook his head. What's so exciting about a research mistake?
"Kaucher, let's continue, you said Fourier transform..."

Lin Mo directly pulled Bill Carr to continue discussing the issue of Fourier transform.

Tian Fang turned around and looked at Zhang Qihua and Shan Gang.

Shan Gang lowered his head, still feeling ashamed of his ignorance and unable to extricate himself.

Zhang Qihua twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at Lin Mo.

The meaning is very clear, even the person involved did not express it, so why are we so excited?

Tian Fang was speechless, he felt a little ridiculous.

This is Kakeya’s conjecture. You have proven Kakeya’s conjecture!
Although Kakeya’s conjecture is not something that has attracted much attention, and it has been labeled as one of the top ten unsolved conjectures in mathematics, it is still a conjecture, a conjecture that has lasted for hundreds of years. In terms of time, it is Bikra’s conjecture. I guess it will be a longer guess?

Think about it, we just completed the proof of Kratz's conjecture. This

But now in this office, why is no one happy and excited about it?
Can you guys be normal?Give me an expression that a normal person should have?
Tian Fangyi had a feeling that everyone was drunk and the only one was sober. He wanted to laugh out loud, but even the person involved didn't laugh. Isn't it inappropriate to laugh by himself?
Tian Fang felt as if he had been punched on cotton. The feeling was suffocating and uncomfortable.

This was the first time he felt like this because of results.

Why does it feel worse if this is proven than if it is not proven?
