Princeton Advanced Institute.

In Professor Fefferman's office.

Looking at Professor Fefferman, who was sitting at the back of his desk, staring meticulously at the dissertation in his hand, Professor Sanak, who came to the door, asked curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

The paper in his hand turned one page, Professor Fefferman did not look up and replied casually.

"The phased results of lspm."

"The phased results of lspm?" Professor Sanak first gave a slight glance, and then the whole person suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, with a shocked expression on his face, "So fast ?! What step did they do?"

Already indulged in the astounding argument, where Fefferman had time to deal with him at this time, he said casually.

"The printer is right next to it. You don't know if you make a copy yourself."

He didn't stop for a moment. After hearing this, Professor Sanak immediately walked to the printer and wrote a dissertation by operating the printer himself.

Holding the paper with the warm fragrance of ink, Sanak stared at it with an eye on it, and spent about an hour scanning the paper quickly.

The moment he finally put down the paper in his hand, his face was already full of shocked expression.

"Inconceivable ..."

"It's almost equivalent"

"A new mathematical language," Professor Fefferman, who also finished the dissertation, took a sip of the cold tea and interjected, "Although it is a simple version, it is enough to describe the abc conjecture. Now ... the person who came up with the idea was simply a genius, and the person who realized it was even a devil. It is unimaginable that such an amazing result was actually made in two weeks. "

"It is even more difficult to imagine that they would choose to upload such important stage results." Looking at the content of the paper, Professor Sanak could not help but say.

The results of this paper are very close to the final proposition of the abc conjecture. They have refined the Baker theorem to conclude that [d 6 by using this weak form in a very concise way. Positive integer solution, which in turn leads to the establishment of Fermat's theorem!

In other words, if this weak form of the abc conjecture was born two or three decades ago, I'm afraid nothing will happen to Wiles.

It is for this reason that, in Sanac's view, this staged result is almost only a layer of window paper away from the final answer. As long as it is broken, the proof of abc's conjecture is in sight!

"It's nothing," Prof. Fefferman smiled indiscriminately about Professor Sanak's statement. "Even from this weak form to the proof of the introduction of the ABC conjecture, there is only one last step, you think someone can surpass them. Kick this ball in faster? "

Hearing this sentence, Professor Sanak gave a slight hesitation, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

"makes sense……"

Just a professor Lu can rule out this possibility, not to mention that besides him, this lspm group also has the best among young mathematicians like Schultz, as well as Perelman and Mochizuki One such cow.

If you want to get ahead of these four people and get the answer, the difficulty will not be easier than the proof of abc conjecture from scratch, or even worse.

From this point of view, my worry seems purely superfluous.

"I'm looking forward to it now," Professor Fefferman said with a smile. "My gut tells me that by the end of this month, we can give abc a conclusive answer."

"End of the month?" Professor Sanak frowned. "But there is only one week left until the end of the month. Although their strength is indeed strong, this stage of the results is close enough to the final proof, but ..."

"Do you want to gamble?"

Professor Sanak coughed dryly.

"This ... forget it."

...

Early morning on April 29th.

It is almost four weeks since the establishment of the ispm group.

Opening his eyes from the bedroom, Lu Zhou got up and got out of bed and went to the bathroom for a brief wash. Then, after eating the fried eggs and sandwiches prepared by Xiao Ai, he went out in a hurry.

The retreat ended on the 28th, or more specifically, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Since this time, he hasn't taken a good rest, so he started a little late today, and arrived at the library late at nine o'clock.

When Lu Zhou arrived here, his three teammates had been waiting here for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, we are still guessing, will you get up in the afternoon, I did not expect that you were only one hour late ..." Schultz smiled indifferently, jokingly said, "Seriously, do you want to Go back to sleep for a while? You haven't taken much rest these days. Anyway, we only have one final step in our work. It can be done one day at a time. "

"It's still not possible," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "Although this proposal is tempting, I prefer to finish everything and enjoy my leisure time slowly ... Let's end it quickly."

Three hours.

Each person reported his research progress in turn, and wrote the board he was responsible for on the whiteboard.

The fragmentary clues are like pieces of jigsaw puzzles. When they are regrouped together, all the clues are connected together.

Looking at the last line of the last white board, Mochizuki Shinichi's face was filled with incredible expressions.

"I originally thought that so many processes would take at least a few days to run in. I didn't expect ..."

Schultz: "I was surprised that everything went smoothly?"

Mochizuki nodded.

"Is such that."

"This is a good thing," Lu Zhou said with a sense of accomplishment, looking at the white board that almost covered the entire room wall. "It shows that we have touched something closer to the essence than the abc conjecture itself. "

Mochizuki frowned and fell into thought.

"Essence ... what is that?"

"Essence is nature, and what it is is difficult to describe, not to mention that it takes me a while to digest it before we can sort it into language," Lu said with a smile, and continued, "And I Sure, the four of us will definitely feel different. "

However, this should not take too long.

If he is optimistic, he intends to complete the work before going to Mars.

Perelman, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "I can understand what you said ... in fact, I feel the same way."

Schultz nodded.

"Vague ... but it does exist."

Mochizuki Shinichi didn't speak, but frowned, thinking. Although Lu Zhou's statement is very mysterious, in the subconscious, he seems to have a similar feeling.

Looking at the wall clock next to the wall, Lu Zhou suggested smiling.

"It's getting late, let's have a meal first."

When you come back after dinner, sort out these items on the whiteboard and publish them. You can almost put an end to this collaboration.

"Wait a minute," Schultz raised his hand and said with a smile, "This is abc's conjecture. To commemorate this great and glorious moment, I propose that we leave a signature on it!"

Mochizuki Shinichi hesitated, "Signature? But aren't all wiped out in the end?"

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "I'm sure our dean would be very happy to keep them intact."

Although Perelman was not very interested in such a meaningless thing, he had no other opinion.

In this way, at the suggestion of Schultz, four people left their respective signatures on the whiteboard, and then stood in front of the whiteboard to take a photo and take a photo as a memorial.

After doing these things, Lu Zhou left the library and went to the cafeteria.

It happened to catch up with the peak of the class. Students in the cafeteria were just around the corner. They could hardly find a place to stop.

His "special seat" in the corner of the cafeteria must not be found, but Lu Zhou was not that picky person. After lining up for a meal, he found an empty seat and sat down.

After working all morning, the stomach started to gurgle.

Can't wait to pick up the chopsticks, just as Lu Zhou was preparing to start eating, he suddenly heard a few students from the next seat, there was an excited discussion.

Student a: "Fuck! Did you watch today's news?"

Student b: "Look at it! It's so bad !!!"

Student c: "What news? What are you talking about?"

Student a: "That prehistoric relic on Mars! You don't know such a big thing, did you just go online?"

Student c: "I ... I just sent my phone for repair. What the hell? Prehistoric ruins? Mars?"

Lu Zhou: "... ????"

Lying down? !! -
