The heated debate about extraterrestrial civilization continues.

In the next few days when finishing the dissertation, Lu Zhou not only heard a student gossip about the Martian civilization ’s relics, but even his father and When he talked on the phone, he used a joking tone to ask him if there were any new discoveries.

It seems that even the grandfathers who provide pensions to state-owned enterprises in eighteenth-tier small cities have begun talking about extraterrestrial civilizations and gossips on Mars.

In fact, although Lu Zhou, who had just closed the retreat, felt very abrupt after learning about all of this, in fact, there were no obtrusive problems for the people of the country and the world.

First of all, China did not release all the details to the public all at once, but it slowly guided the public's attention to the underground of the Hell's Gate Mountains in the two-week bedding, and then led to the cave where the remains were found , And only characterised it as "artificial structure" in the last week, which led to the conclusion that the Martian civilization remains.

The slow pace of news announcements is, on the one hand, satisfying the appetite of other countries, and on the other hand, it is a buffer time for the international community to digest this huge amount of information.

These things were later learned by Lu Zhou.

After learning about these things, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling that the speed of information dissemination in modern society was almost unimaginable. He just broke the net for about four weeks, and he felt like he couldn't keep up with the times.

If this scale of time is enlarged to a century ...

Suddenly, the slightest worry that had arisen for no reason made him afraid to think deep.

"The paper is finished. The signature is l · s · p · m. I have hung the preprint on arxiv and attached a temporary communication page I made. The discussion mode is similar to bbs, and the name is It ’s called lspm. I have already sent your email address and password to the administrator. If you are interested, you can also look at the opinions of other scholars in this direction. "

"If no one finds a particularly serious loophole, the final version of the paper will be published in the main issue of" Future "at the end of the year. Of course, if you have other opinions, you can also raise it and discuss it together."

Schultz smiled and said, "I don't have any opinions, just do what you say."

Mochizuki Shinichi: "Me too."

Perelman didn't speak, but just nodded.

For the four people standing here, honor and fame are second. Besides, compared with the problem they are studying, the minutiae of attribution and submission journals is not worth mentioning, and they do not need to rely on the influence of the journal itself to make this research result more visible. .

It is no exaggeration to say that the moment the four letters of lspm were written on the dissertation, it was destined that it would receive worldwide attention after its publication.

Even if they randomly find a school journal to publish a dissertation, the final result must be that this school journal is sold out of stock, not that their results are left unattended ...

After the preprint of the paper was uploaded, Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai, who was in charge of helping the operation and maintenance of the lspm forum, to open the registration authority of the website. So far, the subject of abc's conjecture has come to an end.

In order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the lspm research group, Lu Zhou set a table for four people at Wanzhou Grilled Fish in front of Jindamen. Even those who have never been interested in group activities like Wangyue Xinyi arrived on time. .

It's quite nostalgic to say that, although the decoration of the store has been renovated several times, the owner is still the owner and the taste is still the same. Lu Zhou still remembers that when he was studying for an undergraduate course, they did not take care of the business of this store at 201, and the owner of the store gave them a few bottles of beer from time to time.

Now that all these years have passed, the little friends have gone their separate ways, and he alone is still on his own.

However, today is clearly not a memory of the past.

A large bowl of grilled fish was brought to the table, and Lu Zhou raised the cup in his hand and said with a smile.

"Let's have a toast for the conclusion of the lspm team!"

"Cheers!"

The toasts in unison and the clinking clinking sounds turned into laughter in the foam of beer. A group of people ate the roasted fish while drinking beer.

"This is the most enjoyable experience of all the collaborations I have participated in. At the same time, it is also the most rewarding. I originally planned to stay here for half a year. I never expected that everything went smoothly and incredible."

Having a drink with Lu Zhou and others, Schultz continued with a smile.

"... But, like the old saying of Hua Guo, there is no endless feast in the world. Tomorrow I will go back to the University of Bonn. Professor Faltins has been urging me from a week ago. Now abc The proof of the conjecture is finally complete, and I should go back to continue my courses and research. "

Hearing Professor Faltings' name, Mochizuki's brow twitched fiercely, hurriedly reached out to pick up the cup, and covered her face with embarrassment by drinking.

However, because his movement was too stiff, he was caught inadvertently by Lu Zhou.

Prior to this, there have been rumors in the mathematics community that this guy was a very cheerful person before entering Princeton. At least half of the reasons for autism on the spot after graduation were related to Faltings.

Although Professor Wiles, who has proved Fermat's Last Theorem, has a very high opinion of Mochizuki, as Professor Zhang Shouwu, another elder of Faltings, said, he studied or worked under the old German man who had a high opinion of himself It is quite a test of psychological endurance.

Perhaps only Schultz, who seemed to him to be able to surpass himself, could feel a little bit of kindness or kindness in him.

Lu Zhou: "I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you."

Schultz nodded slightly, thanking him.

Taking a sip of wine, Mochizuki coughed twice, and continued expressionlessly.

"I plan to stay here for two months before going back."

Schultz smiled and said, "Is it because of Kyoto University? If you want to wait for the limelight to go back, you can go to Germany with me, it is still very interesting there, and many European mathematicians have Your research is interesting. "

"Never mind, if they are interested, you can come to the Far East to find me." Pushing and pushing the glasses, Mochizuki Shinichi continued, "I plan to stay here for some time not because of shelter, but just about quantum encryption algorithms. I have a lot more to study ... purely for personal interest. "

Although he never acknowledged his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, in fact Lu Zhou did not admit that there was no difference. It seems that this is also clear, so Mochizuki did not cover it up, and directly expressed his thoughts.

Perelman, who was sitting next to him, shrugged, and followed his own plans.

"My project is not over yet. I will stay here until the end."

Schultz asked curiously, "Can I ask what the subject is?"

"Of course you can, Hodge conjecture, it's not something to keep secret anyway," Professor Perelman continued. "In contrast, it's what I really care about, and I feel close to the end. If you have time, you might as well help me. "

"It sounds interesting," Schultz said with interest.

Mochizuki Shinichi: "This is not my area of ​​expertise, I'm afraid I can't help."

"Although I'm interested, I'm afraid I have no chance to help ... or wait for me to return from Mars," Lu Zhou said with a smile. "The second batch of scientific expeditions to Mars is about to leave. During this time I I'm afraid it will be busy. "

He noticed that Mochizuki was staring at himself intently, and he half-spoken for a moment, then stopped and said embarrassedly.

"……Any questions?"

"Nothing." Silent for a while, Mochizuki sighed, pushed her glasses down and said, "... I'm going to stay for a while anyway, and wait until you come back."

Four people continued to drink.

In addition to celebrating the conclusion, the theme of the second half has an extra line for their teammate Schultz.

Just when the four were drinking, they were sitting at the table at the moment and didn't realize that a storm had begun a hustle and bustle prelude because of their research.

The entire mathematical community was shocked by a dissertation ...
