Chapter 59 Where is the troublemaker?

Professor Zhuge of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University determined to become a mathematician when he was young. His idol was Hua Luogeng, so when he was in college, he changed his name to Zhuge Xuegeng.

At this time, Professor Zhuge had just finished teaching a class and was surrounded by several students discussing issues.

"Professor, I have a question about the initial values ​​of compound fractional differential equations..."

Professor Zhuge glanced at it: "Do you still need to ask me this question? It's so simple! I have written such a paper, you will understand after reading it."

Professor Zhuge said and wrote the title of the paper.

"Professor, what you just talked about is the positive solution of the general nonlinear one-dimensional average curvature equation. Here is an accurate number, but..."

"Your solution here has fallen into a misunderstanding. It should be like this..." Professor Zhuge wrote a few strokes on several key points.

"Professor, regarding the sharp non-existence result of the four singular source curvature equations on this rectangular torus, the result of my calculation is this. Please take a look."

Professor Zhuge took a look: "It's great to be able to do this. Regarding the curvature equations of the four singular sources on the rectangular torus, someone in the department happens to be working on this topic. I will sign it for you, and you can go to them to discuss it. Let’s talk. Maybe we can get some new inspiration.”

"Professor, I have listed several key points on the simple zero-point properties of some holomorphic functions on the modulus space of the torus. Please help me check them."

Professor Zhuge looked at it carefully, frowned and said: "When we discuss holomorphic functions on the modulus space of the torus, we are actually studying how these functions change in various shapes and sizes of the torus. Modulus Space itself is a complex mathematical object that describes all possible torus structures..."

The next classmate came over and handed a small piece of paper with M24 written on it.

"Professor, look, I discovered a new Mersenne prime!"

"Where is the troublemaker!" Professor Zhuge slammed the table.

New Mersenne primes discovered? This is lower than the probability of winning the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket!

Why don't you go to heaven!

Professor Zhuge raised his head, wanting to see who was coming to cause trouble.

At first glance, I saw that it was not the graduate students I brought with me.

A closer look revealed that it was Zhang Wei!

"Zhang Wei, why are you here? Are you interested in our mathematics department? Our mathematics department welcomes you!"

"I'm also interested in your 170-year-old girl with long legs!" Zhang Wei thought to himself.

Then Zhang Wei pointed to the note: "Professor Zhuge, I just discovered a new Mersenne prime number."

"Zhang Wei, don't say this nonsense. Do you know that so far, humans have only found a total of 40 Mersenne primes!"

"I should be the 41st!" Zhang Wei said confidently.

Professor Zhuge frowned and looked at the numbers on the note carefully. 24 seemed to be a prime number.

"Where did you get that number?"

"GIMPS!"

"Is that the Internet system developed by the United States? The recent six Merson prime numbers seem to have been found by this thing. Have you verified it?" Professor Zhuge asked next.

"Not yet. My broken computer definitely can't verify it. If it's uploaded to the CIMPS server, I don't know how long it will take for the verification results to come out."

"So you came to me just to verify whether this number is a Mersenne prime?"

Zhang Wei nodded: "The computers in the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University are definitely much faster than mine!"

"The Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University has some computers that are faster than ordinary computers, but you have to queue up to use them." Professor Zhuge continued.

"How long will the queue be?"

"The fastest one, if you apply now, you will have to wait for a week!"

"So long!" Zhang Wei said a little disappointed.

Professor Zhuge went on to explain, "Our mathematical research is different from other disciplines. For example, if you make graphene, you can test it with a microscope and a spectrometer and you will know whether it is successful or not.

However, testing the results of mathematical research requires a lot of calculations, which can only be verified using computers. Many projects have to verify every step they take. Otherwise, if the previous step is wrong, the subsequent research will definitely be wrong. "

"Professor Zhuge, can you show me the back door?"

"I'll give you a back door. How about coming to our mathematics department next semester?" Zhuge asked immediately.

"I'm actually not very good at math. I almost failed the advanced math test last semester!"

"It doesn't matter if you fail. I'll find a teaching assistant to give you one-on-one tutoring, as long as you're here!" Professor Zhuge said with a smile.

"Professor, the graphene I made has nothing to do with your mathematics department! If I really came to the mathematics department, I wouldn't be able to use my expertise!"

Zhang Wei looked careless, and then said: "Otherwise, if this number is really a Mersenne prime number, even if it is a research result of the Department of Mathematics, I can just name it when it is published!"

When publishing a paper, there is a distinction between the first author and the second author. The same can be done when publishing new scientific discoveries. For example, you can say this: Zhang Wei from the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University discovered the 41st Mersenne prime number. With such a saying, the mathematics department has been tainted by the fact that it has done nothing but made discoveries in vain.

If it had been anyone else, Professor Zhuge wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him, but Zhang Wei was a future Nobel Prize scholar. With this deal, he would have been embarrassed to refuse even if he was approached for help.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the academic world itself is a big mess. We are all highly educated intellectuals, and we must be worldly.

Thinking of this, Professor Zhuge said: "The computers in the Mathematics Department do not have extra time for you, but I can help you think of a solution from other places.

Our Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University has always been in contact with many scientific research institutes. I can help you ask whether their supercomputers have long hours.

Your number is 2 raised to the power of more than 2400 million. Let me think about it. It must be within ten million digits. If a supercomputer squeezes some time, it should be able to calculate it for you. "

"Can I use a supercomputer? Is it the Galaxy?" Zhang Wei asked immediately.

"Galaxy National Defense Technology is doing a lot of work. It is a military product and we cannot use it. Let me ask Sugon for you first. Sugon 4000 is currently the fastest supercomputer in the country and can perform 4.2 trillion operations per second!"

Professor Zhuge said, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and after asking some questions, he said:
"Not only the Dawning 4000, but also the Dawning 3000 and the two Dawning 2000s are all fully booked. Don't worry, I'll ask the National Computer Engineering Center again. Although the calculation speed of the Sunway supercomputer over there is far less than that of Dawning, it is still fully booked. There is also a calculation speed of 3840 billion times per second.”

"It turns out that the divine power at this time is not as good as the dawn!" Zhang Wei showed a surprised expression.

As a reborn person, Zhang Wei still remembers that the Sunway TaihuLight supercomputer defeated American supercomputers many times and became the world's number one supercomputer.

Twelve years later, Sunway TaihuLight can reach a peak computing speed of 12.54 trillion times per second. The current Sunway generation computer has only a calculation speed of 3840 billion times per second, a difference of 33 times. Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, China's technological progress is so fast!
After a while, Professor Zhuge put down his phone and said: "After ten o'clock tonight, there will be free time at Shenwei. I will send this number to you later and let them verify it for you. Let's hear the results tomorrow!"

"Thank you very much, Professor Zhuge!" Zhang Wei quickly thanked him.

……

Zhang Wei returned to the dormitory, where the autistic man was lying on the bed, admiring the empty ceiling. Ye Haotian was sitting at the desk, holding a piece of seaweed in his mouth and writing furiously in his hand.

"Hey, we're eating seafood!" Zhang Wei came over with a smile.

"Don't tell me, the more you eat this seaweed, the more addictive it becomes. Once you eat it, you can't stop eating it! Buy me a few more packs when I go home during the summer vacation."

Ye Haotian has already accepted the setting that seaweed is seafood.

"It's still in use during the summer vacation. I'll go to the supermarket to check it out later."

"The taste is different!" Ye Haotian continued: "I have bought other brands, but they are not the same as the one you bought. The key is that the brand you brought is not available in our supermarkets here."

"This is indeed a brand unique to our place. Give me your address and I will send you a box when you go back during the summer vacation." Zhang Wei said.

"I can also give you the address." The autistic man's weak voice came from the bed.

"Beer is liquid and cannot be sent!" Zhang Wei spread his hands.

The autistic person is very disappointed and turns away and continues to be autistic.

Zhang Wei continued to ask Ye Haotian: "What are you writing?"

"Study experience, I just attended a lecture on mental health of college students, please share your experience!"

"Attending a mental health lecture? Are you mentally ill?" Zhang Wei asked jokingly.

"You are a psychopath!"

"You're not a psychopath. Why are you participating in this thing?"

"It's not that Ma Jiajue who caused the trouble. Now all the universities in the capital are promoting mental health education for college students, requiring everyone to attend the lectures."

Zhang Wei quietly pointed at the autistic person: "Why doesn't Chen Ming write?"

"He doesn't need to receive mental health education. It won't be cured if he does!"

"I think Chen Ming should listen to this mental health education. I heard that Ma Jiajue, like Chen Ming, is very good at physics. He even won the second prize in the National Physics Competition!"

"I'm the first prize!" the autistic man's voice came again, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

The first prize looks down on the second prize, a perfect chain of contempt.

Zhang Wei continued: "I also heard that this Ma Jiajue won the title of Three Excellent Students in the Province!"

"I'm not." The autistic man's voice sounded again.

"Me neither! I haven't even received half a certificate since I entered high school!" Zhang Wei said and looked at Ye Haotian.

A high-quality human male who won the title of Three Excellent Students in the Province for three consecutive years in high school.

Ye Haotian's face suddenly dropped: "I heard it, you are nodding at me again!"

 This chapter has 00 words. Although the previous Q&A sessions with the professor were all real advanced mathematics questions, considering that you couldn’t understand them, they must have been regarded as a low word count, so I wrote some more to make up for it. Is he a conscientious author? Is it worthy of your recommendation, voting and reward three times in a row? In addition, regarding Ma Jiajue, those born after have probably never heard of him. Commentators can give them some popular science.
