Almost on the day that the International Union of Mathematicians recognized the Grand Unified Theory, the flight of the scholars who withdrew from Jinling University had not yet taken off, and the news had already taken wings, and it had crossed the north and south of the river along the network cable, and flew all over the seven continents and four oceans.

The entire mathematical community was stirred up by this astonishing news.

Professor Tao Zhexuan, who had not yet taken off before the flight, sat at the airport and couldn't wait to update his blog, sorting out all the inspirations and feelings he had generated when he re-examined the paper in the past two days.

This blog post can be understood even by beginner master's students, which is considered to be a scientific research dog for the vast majority of scientific research dogs who can't understand the original text of the paper and can only eat melons in the air, popularizing what earth-shattering events have happened in the mathematical world in the past few days, and providing an opportunity to eat melons at close range.

Within half an hour of the post, the screenshots and reprinted links had spread almost all over the mathematical community, so you can imagine how crazy the people who are following this matter are!

At the same time, on the Mathoverflow forum, the topics discussed have almost been slaughtered.

And in almost every post, you can see names such as "Lu Zhou", "Great Unification Theory", or "Lu Zhou Theory" and so on.

Because Lu Zhou himself has not given an official name to the theory so far, everyone can only call it that.

[Blockbuster news! Just now! The International Union of Mathematicians announced in the auditorium of Jinling University that it recognizes the completeness of the Great Unified Theory! 】

[Haha! When I saw the name of my alma mater, I missed it very much! 】

[I guessed a week ago that with Professor Lu's character, he would not openly declare what he was doing. As early as the middle of the year, when he announced that he would make the unification of algebra and geometry his next topic, I guess he had already figured it out. 】

[I heard that Professors Schultz and Faltings were also involved in this project?] 】

[They did participate in the research of the fold method, but I heard from my classmates at the University of Bonn that in the last two months of the study, everyone thought that there was no need to cooperate in the last step, so they tacitly planned to have an honest competition, so they ......]

[I'm curious who came up with the idea.] 】

[It is said to be Professor Faltins......]

[It's so miserable, less than two months after parting ways, the partners came up with results...... So did they help? 】

[Well, according to Lu Zhou's acknowledgments in the briefing, they obviously helped. But I agree with you, it's really ...... It's miserable. 】

The anecdotes surrounding the Grand Unification Theory have also been talked about by this group of gossip-loving mathematicians along with the sensation caused by the Grand Unification Theory.

In addition to the "dignified game", there is also Perelman, a hermit who has come back to the world.

On the one hand, people wonder what impressed him to participate in this project on the grand unification theory, and on the other hand, it is curious whether he intends to use this as an opportunity to return to the field of mathematics, or to return to the suburbs of St. Petersburg to continue his life in seclusion.

So far, he doesn't seem to have left. According to a doctoral student who witnessed him at Jinling University, the big guy seemed to be attracted by something, and still went to the office of the School of Mathematics of Jinling University every day to check in.

Aside from the tidbits behind those hanging crowns.

The influence of the Grand Unified Theory has spread from the mathematical community to the mathematical community.

Not only has the International Union of Mathematicians updated the electronic version of the paper on the grand unified theory on its official website, but even CERN, a scientific research organization focusing on research in the field of high-energy physics, also answered some reporters' questions and expressed optimistic views on this event at a recent press conference.

In fact, mathematics and physics have never been separated.

Especially from a historical perspective, every major breakthrough in the field of mathematics has ultimately played a crucial role in promoting the development of physics.

At the same time, it's not just the physics community.

In the same week after the statement of the International Union of Mathematicians, Lu Zhou's portrait appeared on the cover of Time Magazine here, accompanied by an extraordinary headline -

"The Great Man of the Century" - The Most Influential People in the Early 21st Century

Honors such as these are usually given to politicians, and rarely to business people or celebrities. As a scholar, it is extremely rare to receive such a title.

Not only that, but in the main part, the article gives a highly positive evaluation of his work......

【…… For the vast majority of people, mathematics is an extremely complex subject, and only a very small number of people are able to grasp the essence of it and develop it into an art. 】

[But for him, mathematics is like a language.] 】

Through this language, he was able to communicate with God and make deals with Satan, and the truth of all things in the world seemed to be no longer a secret. Bringing Helios's divine fire to the earth, freezing the scythe of death with the treasures of the goddess of ice and snow, even if he didn't directly invent any strange gadgets, even if his knowledge is too far away from our daily lives, his teachings have already changed our civilization and changed my society. 】

[It is precisely because of his wisdom that the imagination of the mortal world has been given wings, and the dream of the future has become a reality. 】

Where our civilization will fly is a question that only the future can answer. 】

But on this day, we crossed a mountain again. 】

[It is the pinnacle of the human mind. 】

At the same time, there was a rather rare scene in the media in North America.

Even CNN, which has a clear political stance and was happy to smear Lu Zhou for its virtual reality experiments two months ago, has rarely given a neutral report this time.

No praise, no discredit...... After all, there's really nothing to hack.

However, it is not easy to make people who are used to lying reluctantly tell the truth once.

Boston, a laboratory on cryobiology.

Sitting in the café, Musk looked at Time magazine in his hand, smashed his tongue, and suddenly spoke.

"You think it would be nice if he had been studying math."

Lawrence, who was sitting across from him and drinking coffee, smiled and said in a joking tone, "Then I'm afraid there are not enough problems in this world." ”

"What does it matter? As long as he can stay away from our business. ”

Lawrence smiled and said, "Oh? I'd like to expect him to come up with something interesting. Actually, our interests are not conflicting, at least so far, the new gadgets he invented have been quite helpful to my plan. ”

Musk pouted and said, "Really? I'm the opposite, and if this guy can stop for a while, I'll be thankful. ”

Lawrence said nonchalantly.

"Maybe you should consider a different way of dealing with him."

Musk shook his head and didn't speak.

A different way of getting along?

If only it were that simple.

Now the whole Silicon Valley is a mess, and I don't know how many technology companies have closed down.

What people talk about the most now is not the general trend of the future, but what Lu Zhou may be studying, what he is going to study, what he will most likely not study, and how to avoid colliding with Star Technology.

It may sound ludicrous, but it's just the way it is.

Those entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley now not only regard "what Professor Lu might study" as an indicator of project risk control evaluation, but even add the results of the analysis to the PPT used to promote their projects.

The most annoying thing is that those investors just eat this set?!

This is ridiculous!

Just when the whole world was discussing the name, Professor Lu, who made Musk hate so much, was in the deepest part of the three-story laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study at the moment, and he didn't know anything about his appearance in Time Magazine again.

Facing a repurposed virtual reality access device, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said in a calm voice.

"Xiao Ai, are you ready?"

A line of text, projected directly onto his AR glasses.

【Ready Master!】 (????????????)???? 】

Nodding, Lu Zhou didn't say anything, walked to the virtual reality device, and lay down on the soft bed.

Taking off his glasses and placing them on the table beside him, Lu Zhou reached out and picked up the helmet resting on the side and put it on his head.

Time in the space of the system is synchronized with the flow rate of time in the outside world, which he has verified a long time ago.

And depending on how fast the virtual reality device starts, he has about one to two seconds of tolerance.

If his guess was correct......

Lu Zhou, who closed his eyes and took another deep breath, stopped praying, and after silently reciting the system in his heart, his consciousness had appeared in that pure white space in the next second.

Without the slightest pause, Lu Zhou, who was silently counting the seconds in his heart, walked to the side of the holographic panel, stretched out his index finger and selected the inventory.

A purple-black sphere, wrapped in ethereal tentacles like smoke, floated quietly.

Without any explanation, it's like you don't belong here.

Aside from the name "Void Memory B", everything about it is a mystery.

Looking at this ominous sphere quietly, when the count reached twenty, Lu Zhou reached out and shook it without hesitation.

Almost as soon as he grasped the purple-black orb floating in his inventory, the tentacles wrapped around the purple-colored orb suddenly swelled violently, releasing a black mist as viscous as a gel and as deep as a black hole.

“…… Let me see what secret you are hiding behind it. ”

It wasn't the first time he had come into contact with this thing, and Lu Zhou watched lightly as it wrapped around itself, and obediently let it pull itself into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
