From all-round academic master to chief scientist

"Mr. Lin, if you come to China to run a business, this... may be a bit difficult."

Thomas Clay had a troubled expression on his face.

As a businessman, his various purposes naturally have to pay attention to businessmen.

Although the Clay Institute is a non-profit, the Clay family not only has such a research institution, they also have their own family business, and the founder of the Clay Institute, Langton Clay, himself He was the chairman of the famous financial company Eaton Vance.

Money earned from their family business also helps fund the Clay Institute's upkeep.

Therefore, this Millennium Awards Ceremony will also be an opportunity for them to invite celebrities from all walks of life. After all, this kind of grand event in the mathematics world will inevitably bring together many famous mathematicians in the mathematics world, and with so many mathematical talents, Naturally, it will also attract many people in the business world.

And their family business is similar to a wealth management business, which may attract many wealthy people to entrust their funds to their family business for safekeeping.

Thomas Clay had already planned for this.

However, now Lin Xiao suddenly said that he would hold this award ceremony in China, which disrupted many of his positions.

If it is really held in China, who else can he invite?

Most of those rich people are definitely not willing to come.

Is it possible to invite rich people from China?

This business is not easy to do.

When Lin Xiao saw Thomas Clay looking so embarrassed, he then spread his hands and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Clay, due to some personal reasons, it is not convenient for me to go to the United States, so this award ceremony , I probably won’t be able to go.”

Thomas Clay suddenly showed his disbelief.

Is Lin Xiao really not going?

That's a million dollars.

Although one million dollars today is less valuable than when the Millennium Prize problem was first proposed, it is still one million dollars after all, and no one can deny that the value of one million dollars is still very high.

Everyone else present also showed surprised expressions. Probably the mathematics professors at Peking University didn't say anything. Instead, they thought it was normal. Lin Xiao had had accidents at home, let alone abroad. God knows. How long after going abroad will they be able to hear the obituary about Lin Xiao.

At this time, Lin Xiao also showed an expression that he didn't want to talk any more, and said: "Okay, everyone, we don't need to talk about other things. We have been talking for more than two hours. Everyone who has come from abroad, I will also do my best. Zhiyi, please treat everyone to a meal, whatever you want to eat."

When it came to food, Deligne immediately said: "Take me to eat your Mojia Rou. I want it to be authentic. I have been in Shangjing for a few days and I haven't tried it yet."

"Yes, yes, 'Touch Jiarou', I want to eat it too." Pompieri nodded again and again.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Mo Jiarou? Uh...please say it again, I didn't hear it clearly."

"It's 'Don't...touch Jiarou'!" Deligne said it again. The more he said it, the more he felt why it was so difficult to speak with a Chinese accent.

Lin Xiao scratched his head.

He still doesn't understand what this 'touch plus soft' thing is?

The other mathematicians from Beijing University present also looked at a loss, and they still didn't understand what they were talking about.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao had no choice but to activate his brain with a development rate of 11.45% to search for what it was.

But thanks to him being from Qin Province, he finally realized that what they wanted to say was steamed buns with meat, but what they actually meant was the most delicious snack in Qin Province, steamed buns with meat.

Suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "You are talking about Roujiamo, right? This is not a steamed bun with meat. In China, we call it 'Roujiamo'." "

Deligne and Pompieri immediately showed expressions of disbelief.

"excuse-me? Roujiamo?"

"This is unscientific. It's obviously steamed buns filled with meat, right?"

Several other foreign mathematicians nearby also expressed doubts.

"How can meat be sandwiched between steamed buns? Is it like KFC's Taco, a large piece of fried chicken steak wrapped in steamed buns? How is this eaten?"

Seeing these top mathematicians in the world looking like curious babies, Lin Xiao felt even more dumbfounded.

So he gave them a good science education. Strictly speaking, the reason why it is called Roujiamo is because it means meat-stuffed buns. Jiamo is a noun, and roujiamo is not a verb.

After his explanation, these people finally showed expressions of realization. Even the mathematics professors at Beijing University also showed such expressions, because they did not know what was going on.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Okay, everyone, let's go and eat now."

"good!"

Everyone nodded and then left.

As for Thomas Clay, although he still wanted to say something, he had to give up in the end. He also guessed what Lin Xiao's so-called personal reasons were. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, he did not have a surname. Morgan, Rockefeller or Rothschild could only watch Lin Xiao leave with sighing expressions.

In this way, Lin Xiao's academic report on one of the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium, proving the existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation, came to a successful conclusion.

The seven most valuable world-class mathematical problems selected by humans on earth in 2000, just like this, only the last four are left.

However, although there was one less problem, there was one more after the report.

That is the question of the feasibility of the generalized absolute linear coordinate system.

In a narrow sense, it refers to the coordinate system that Lin Xiao proposed on the spot. Because the conditions it contains only apply to the problem he solved, it is basically useless and can only be used to solve other similar problems.

The generalized absolute linear coordinate system means that it can be applied to all fields.

Since the end of the report meeting, this issue has spread directly to all major fields in the world. Its hot topic is relatively lower than the original multi-dimensional field theory. After all, it involves linear and nonlinear. Relatively speaking, the more professional terms are less attractive than the science fiction term multi-dimensional space.

Of course, when it comes to science fiction, the world described by linear and nonlinear is still quite interesting, so this is one of the reasons that has attracted the attention of many netizens.

"Good guy, Academician Lin can do anything?" Unifying linearity and nonlinearity is scary when you think about it. What is the P=NP problem? 』

"If you don't understand, just ask, what does the P=NP problem mean?" 』

"Everyone who understands understands. If you don't understand, it's inconvenient to explain to you. I can only say that everyone who understands understands."

"I don't believe that linearity and nonlinearity can be unified. Our world becomes so colorful because it is nonlinear. If it were linear, it would be too monotonous. 』

"You seem to have made a mistake. It doesn't mean that after proving this problem, the world will change from non-linear to linear. The world is still non-linear, but all non-linear problems we encounter can be directly transformed. Analyzed for the linear case. 』

"What you said above is right. In fact, in previous scientific research, nonlinear problems encountered were basically studied by trying to approximate them as linear models. However, how to convert is a problem. The most important thing is that it is difficult to convert. , even if it is converted, it is only an approximation, but what Lin Shen proposed is equivalent to giving us a format converter that can perfectly convert all nonlinear problems into linear problems. If there is no approximation, then for our scientific research It is very helpful in all aspects of life.』

"I feel like what you said is that linear problems are all easy... I always have trouble learning linear algebra."

"It's like you're a mathematician"

"The explosion belongs to yes"

"Wisdom Teeth Extraction in Henan"

"The things Lin Shen has come up with are getting more and more outrageous. It is a multi-dimensional field theory, and it unifies linearity and nonlinearity. It feels like he has traveled back in time from the future."

"Brothers, I came out again and told you that Lin Xiao is an alien. If you still don't believe it, I will say it again now. Lin Xiao is Xi."

"What's wrong, brother?" 』

"Brother, have you been arrested again?" 』

"It's over, Barbie Q is gone, this brother is gone again"

…

The topic of the unification of linearity and nonlinearity has been discussed for a long time. Professionals discuss professional topics, while non-professionals discuss science fiction topics. Some people even expressed that they would create a novel based on the final formula of unifying linearity and nonlinearity. When it comes out, it is said that the earth has been captured by aliens, and then the protagonist accidentally learns the formula that unifies linearity and nonlinearity from the aliens, then escapes from the alien's spaceship, and finally uses this formula to secretly carry out Development, and then became a big figure in the alien civilization, and finally mastered the supreme power of this alien civilization and a series of stories.

Of course, these are beside the point.

And Lin Xiao didn't pay too much attention.

After the report, he returned to his normal life.

He also tried to study the absolute linear coordinate system. Of course, the academic community now also calls it the Lin coordinate system, just like the Cartesian plane rectangular coordinate system.

But obviously, the system was absolutely right when it said that this shortcut was very difficult to take, because after he got it, he felt like he couldn't start.

So in the end, he could only give up temporarily and turn his attention to the problem he had studied before.

That is, mechanical prosthetics.

A mechanical right arm and a mechanical left leg for the monkey are almost ready, and the monkey Lin Xiao used to experiment with artificial nerves is also ready.

Lin Xiao is already looking forward to what the cyberpunk monkey wielding mechanical prosthetics will look like.
