From small town academic to chief scientist

Not long after, a very huge roulette wheel appeared in Zhou Yi's retina.

A very small pointer rotates crazily on it.

Zhou Yi watched the pointer crossing countless things, and another spiritual energy seemed to be injected into his mind, which brought a different kind of luck to Zhou Yi. At this moment, Zhou Yi shouted loudly in his heart:

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the proof for question 18 of Hilbert's 23 problems, which is to use congruent polyhedra to construct space (crystalline group theory)."

Zhou Yi looked stunned and in disbelief.

whatfuck?

One shot into the soul, directly into Europe?

Darling, if this is proven by myself, I can directly become a professor in the Mathematics Department of Chongqing University, and maybe even win some international mathematician award.

He became a well-known scholar in one fell swoop, and from then on he could eat meat every day. As for hot pot, it might be a bit luxurious, but it might be okay to eat it once a month. Secondly, if he made money, he might be able to hire experts to treat grandma's illness.

Be calm, calm and composed.

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

Hilbert's 23 problems are famous in the mathematics community.

Every student in the Department of Mathematics basically knows this, and Zhouyi is certainly no exception.

In August 1900, at the Second International Congress of Mathematicians held in Paris, Hilbert, who was only 38 years old, was invited to give a famous lecture titled "Mathematical Problems".

In this historic speech, he proposed many important ideas: Just as every human endeavor pursues definite goals, so the study of mathematics requires its own problems.

At this meeting, Hilbert proposed 23 unsolved mathematical problems based on the results and development trends of mathematical research in the 19th century, which are known as "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 have far-reaching influence.

One of the most famous problems is the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach's Hypothesis, and the Twin Prime Conjecture. (Three conjectures put into one question)

This problem has not yet been resolved.

Whoever can solve the problem will be able to win various mathematical awards, and maybe even become the number one person in the world of mathematics in one fell swoop.

In addition to these famous problems, there are actually some 23 problems that have not been solved, or that have been partially solved.

Among them, question 18 has only been partially solved.

Zhou Yi vaguely remembered that someone had popularized science for them.

Question 18: Use congruent polyhedra to construct space. Another way of saying it is whether non-regular polyhedra can cover space densely. The most compact arrangement of spheres consists of three parts.

The first part of the Euclidean space has only a limited number of different types of motion groups with basic areas;

The second part includes whether there are polyhedrons that are not basic areas of the motion group but can fill the entire space with appropriate adjacency;

The first part was answered in the affirmative by the German mathematician Bieberbach in 1910; the second part was partially solved by the German mathematicians Reinhart in 1928 and Hesch in 1935;

The third part, the problem of the closest arrangement of infinite equal polyhedra of a given form has not yet been solved.

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

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

Just memorizing it is useless. If others ask a few derivative questions, the real facts will be exposed.

So announcing it hastily and not explaining it clearly will lead to disaster instead of good things.

This is the truth that a common man is not guilty of having a jade in his possession.

The cooked duck can't fly and has already rotted in the pot. It's just a matter of sooner or later.

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

Zhou Yi thought for a while, how to publish this proof in a logical way.

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

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

Secondly, as a super academic, why should I win first place in the National Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Contest and the National Undergraduate Mathematics Competition?

Do you also need to have comprehensive knowledge of the basics of undergraduate mathematics?

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 this, that will be perfect.

Fortunately, the math competition is around November, so it’s close.

Completely enough for your own use.

The only thing that makes Zhou Yi feel regretful is that it is not Bill's conjecture or the six major problems that have not been proven in the millennium.

Otherwise, one million US dollars would be waving towards Zhou Yi.

One million dollars! ! !

Zhou Yi sighed feebly in his heart again. How many years can he eat meat for every meal?

Zhou Yi couldn't sleep every night because he wanted to eat meat.

However, the third part of this 18-question testimonial proves that there have been some gossips.

The Bayan mathematician Xiang announced in 1993 that he had proved Kepler's conjecture, but now thinks it is wrong.

A famous mathematician was even reduced to worthless,

No one who has read the proof has the slightest doubt that it is true: it is nonsense.

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

The fighting in academia and Vanity Fair is no weaker than the fighting in battlefields, officialdom, and shopping malls. It is common to step on others to gain power.

Everyone wants to be famous, and they want their name to be on the textbooks, so that their true name will last forever.

It is worth mentioning that 1-6 of Hilbert's problems are basic mathematics problems, 7-12 are number theory problems, 13-18 are algebra and geometry problems, and 19-23 are mathematical analysis.

This question 18 is a question of algebra and geometry.

The second question and the tenth question also promoted the development of current computer theory. It is no exaggeration to say that Hilbert is the piper of the kingdom of mathematics.

Zhou Yi looked at his character attributes,

Mathematics: LV0, 250/1000; (Work hard to raise your math level to LV1, maybe you will discover a new world.)

Informatics: LV0, 100/1000; (Work hard to improve informatics to LV1, maybe you will discover a new world on the Internet.)

Points: 170, focus capsules*6, (points can be exchanged for some key knowledge and technology, drawings, focus capsules, etc.)

Zhou Yi looked at the time. It was only 9:30 in the evening. He could still read books for half an hour before the library would close.

Xia Xue on the side looked at Zhou Yi who was a little crazy, and couldn't help but said in a very low voice:

"Senior?"

Zhou Yi finally regained consciousness and said excitedly:

"ah?"

"The peonies in my hometown will bloom next year. Do you want to go back and see them together?"
