Scholar's Advanced Technological System

864 Mining Gold Lu Zhou and his student were happily eating their meals together. They didn’t know that the auditorium was in chaos.

Scholars who were normally quiet and reserved turned into blood-hunting sharks as they all rushed to the front of the auditorium.

Even though only half of the scholars were going crazy, that was still a very large number of people.

Dean Qin saw that the situation was getting out of hand. In order to prevent anyone from getting injured, he asked the safety staff members for help.

These people weren’t employees of the school; they were from the state security department.

They quickly handled the situation.

Right after that, Dean Qin walked through the crowd with a security team and “snatched” the whiteboard from a group of scholars.

Dean Qin was relieved to see that the whiteboard wasn’t damaged.

He wasn’t worried about the mathematicians stomping on each other, after all, he only knew a few big names in the mathematics academic community.

However, this whiteboard was a cultural relic, and it would be a huge loss if it was damaged in any way…

…

Ten minutes after the report.

The forum discussions regarding this report on Mathoverflow went crazy.

The most popular post was one from Terry Tao.

[This is the most exciting report I have been to in the past three years… The last time I felt this way was at the International Congress of Mathematicians. I am honored to have been able to witness the proof of the Quasi Riemann hypothesis. We are one step closer to capturing this crown of mathematics. :)]

The last time Professor Tao posted on Mathoverflow was two weeks ago, when the thesis was first released.

Back then, he had some doubts about the thesis and needed some time to think. People waited a long time for Professor Tao to comment on Lu Zhou’s thesis.

The post instantly went on the Mathoverflow trending page.

[So Professor Tao is saying that… Professor Lu’s proof is correct?]

[Wait a second, Professor Tao should be at the Jin Ling University report, so does that mean… Professor Faltings also thinks it’s correct?]

[Impossible! We all know how arrogant and stubborn that German guy is.]

[It’s not impossible, his stubbornness and arrogance come from his academic achievement and his respect toward academia. Do you really think he will put his attitude over academic integrity?]

[We all read Professor Lu’s thesis, it’s clearly debatable!]

[Is anyone there? What is it like? I just want to know the result?!]

People on the forum were in disarray.

For the people who weren’t researching the Riemann hypothesis, they weren’t interested in the intricate details. They only wanted to know if the Quasi Riemann hypothesis was solved and who won the “boss battle” between Professor Lu and Faltings?

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait for long.

Five minutes after Tao Zhexuan’s post, many scholars who were at the scene posted photos to their blogs, Facebook, and other forums.

Thirty minutes after the report, someone uploaded a footage to YouTube, which was instantly shared to the mathematicians on Mathoverflow.

Immediately after the video was uploaded, the discussions regarding the Quasi Riemann hypothesis exploded!

When people heard Faltings say, “You are correct”, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

[Professor Faltings is… admitting defeat?]

[What do you mean defeat? Academic debates aren’t a competition… But this is still quite amazing. Professor Lu’s argument is so strong that Faltings can’t find a single mistake?]

[There is one possibility… Which is that Professor Lu’s mathematical tool, which he introduced at the end, was perfect. My research area is not algebraic geometry, can anyone tell me what hyperelliptic curve analysis is?]

[Regardless, a new era has just begun.]

[God Lu is insane!]

While the discussions were rising in popularity, a big name in the area of algebraic geometry suddenly submitted a post.

[I don’t know if you guys noticed, but the hyperelliptic curve analysis tool that Professor Lu invented while studying the Quasi Riemann hypothesis is quite interesting. Not only did he prove the existence of epsilon, but it also shows that epsilon can be further enlarged!]

Surprisingly, after this post was released, the amount of discussion on Mathoverflow significantly decreased.

But then again, this did make sense.

The YouTube videos clearly showed the mathematical side of the hyperelliptic curve analysis tool. Scholars gradually absorbed this new knowledge and finally realized why Faltings was so easily convinced. They also found out that there was a gold mine in front of them.

They could be the ones to further enlarge the value of epsilon!

There was still room for further exploration in regard to the critical line proof!

The hyperelliptic curve analysis was like a pickaxe.

Not only did Professor Lu make this pickaxe, but he delivered a pickaxe to each and every one of them.

It would be a shame if they didn’t seize this opportunity…

…

[Congratulations, the report was so good!]

Lu Zhou was sitting in the lounge and drinking tea. He looked at Chen Yushan’s text message and smiled. He typed a reply on his phone.

[Thank you.]

Han Mengqi noticed Lu Zhou’s smile and asked curiously, “Who are you talking to?”

Lu Zhou replied, “Your sister.”

“Oh…” Han Mengqi put her and Lu Zhou’s food packaging into a plastic bag and said, “I’ll grab that for you.”

Lu Zhou answered, “Thank you!”

Han Mengqi pouted and walked away. She didn’t know why she was feeling a little blue.

Coincidentally, when she opened the door, Dean Qin was walking in.

Han Mengqi looked at the dean and politely greeted him.

“Hello, Dean Qin!”

“Hello hello…” Dean Qin nodded and looked at Lu Zhou, who was behind her.

He walked up and smiled.

“Why are you here? I’ve been looking for you.”

Lu Zhou: “It’s raining outside, so I ate here… Why?”

Dean Qin: “The school committee booked a buffet at noon at a five-star hotel. There was a problem with the reservation, and they just informed me about the buffet. I immediately came to look for you, but it seems like you already ate.”

Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.

“Perfect, I don’t like banquets anyway, so you can just go instead.”

“I knew you were going to say that.” Dean Qin sighed and said, “There’s still a banquet at night, and you should go for that. After all, half of these scholars came here to see you. You should be a good host.”

Lu Zhou: “Fine, I’ll go at night… Oh yeah, what about that whiteboard?”

“I put it away, what, do you want to take it home?”

Lu Zhou looked at how nervous Dean Qin was and looked at him with a strange expression.

“Not taking it home, but I need it for something. Most of the calculations were done on the spot, and I haven’t sorted them out yet. I plan on copying the things on it, then write a separate thesis and submit it to Annual Mathematics.”

“Okay, good…” Dean Qin sighed in relief and said, “I’ll ask them to bring the whiteboard over.”

He turned around and quickly left the lounge.

As Lu Zhou looked at him walking away, he tilted his head and muttered to himself, “Why is he acting so weird?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and took out his laptop from his backpack.

The Quasi Riemann hypothesis proof was finally finished.

And the hyperelliptic curve analysis tool was completed thirty minutes ago.

He only had three things to do.

First, he had to convert the “hyperelliptic curve geometric analysis” tool into a thesis.

Then, he had to tell his co-author, Vera, about this good news.

As for the third thing…

It was to continue where he left off…

He had to extend the value of ε to 1/2 and find a proof for this century-old proposition…
