The heated debate about extraterrestrial civilizations continues.

In the next few days of sorting out the papers, Lu Zhou not only heard students gossiping about the clues of the extraterrestrial civilization found in the ruins of the Martian civilization when he was eating in the cafeteria, but even when his father talked to him on the phone, he asked him in a joking tone if there were any new discoveries.

It seems that even the old man of the state-owned enterprise unit in the eighteenth-tier small city has begun to talk about extraterrestrial civilization and gossip on Mars.

In fact, although Lu Zhou, who had just finished his retreat, felt very abrupt after learning all this, in fact, there was no abrupt problem for the people of the whole country and even the people of the world.

First of all, Hua Guo did not make all the details public at once, but slowly directed the public's attention to the underground of the Hell's Gate Mountains in the two-week foreshadowing, and then led to the cave where the ruins were found, and only in the last week did it characterize it as a "man-made structure", from which the conclusion of the remains of the Martian civilization was drawn.

This slow pace of announcing information satisfies the appetite of other countries on the one hand, and gives the international community a buffer time to digest this huge amount of information.

And these are all things that Lu Zhou learned later.

After learning about these things, Lu Zhou couldn't help but sigh that the speed of information dissemination in modern society is unimaginably fast. He just broke the net around him, and he had the feeling that he couldn't keep up with the times.

This would be if the scale of time was to be magnified to a century......

Suddenly, a trace of hidden worry that arose for some reason made him a little afraid to think deeply.

"The paper was finished, signed by L· S· P· I have hung the preprint on Arxiv and attached a temporary communication page that I made myself. The format of the discussion is similar to that of BBS, the name is LSPM, and the administrator's account and password have been sent to your email, if you are interested, you can also read the opinions of other scholars in this field. ”

"If no one identifies a particularly serious vulnerability, 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 put them forward and discuss them together. ”

Schultz smiled and said, "I don't have any opinion, just do as you say." ”

Shinichi Mochizuki: "Me too. ”

Perelman didn't speak, just nodded.

For the four people standing here, honor and fame are already secondary. What's more, compared to the problem itself, the trivial things of authorship and submission to the journal are not worth mentioning at all, and they don't need to rely on the influence of the journal itself to make the research results visible to more people.

It is no exaggeration to say that the moment the four letters of LSPM are written on the paper, it is destined to attract the attention of the world after its publication.

Even if they find a random school journal to publish their papers, the final result must be that the school journal is sold out, not that their results are unattended......

After the preprint of the paper was uploaded, Lu Zhou asked Xiao Ai, who was in charge of helping to operate and maintain the LSPM forum, to open the registration permission of the website, and the topic of ABC's conjecture was over.

In order to celebrate the successful conclusion of the LSPM research group, Lu Zhou set a table for four people at the Wanzhou Grilled Fish at the Golden Gate, and even people like Shinichi Mochizuki, who had never been interested in collective activities, rushed over on time.

It's also very nostalgic to say, although the decoration of the store has been renovated several times, but the boss is still the same boss, and the taste is still the same old taste. Lu Zhou still remembers that when he was an undergraduate, they took care of the business of this store in 201, and the owner of this store would give them a few bottles of beer from time to time.

Now that so many years have passed, the friends have gone their separate ways, and he is the only one who is still standing still, which is embarrassing to think about.

However, today is clearly not a nostalgic day for the past.

A large pot of grilled fish was served on the table, Lu Zhou raised the cup in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Let's toast to the conclusion of the LSPM research group!"

"Cheers!"

The toasts in unison, and the sound of clinking glasses, turned into laughter in the foam of beer, and a group of people ate grilled fish and drank beer at the same time, and ate happily.

"This has been the most enjoyable experience I've ever been involved in...... At the same time, it is also the biggest harvest. Originally, I was ready to stay here for half a year, but I didn't expect everything to go smoothly and it was unbelievable. ”

After having a drink with Lu Zhou and the others, Schultz smiled and continued.

“…… However, just like the old saying in Huaguo, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. Tomorrow I will go back to the University of Bonn, Professor Faltins has been urging me since a week ago. Now that the proof of the ABC conjecture is finally complete, it's time for me to go back and continue my course and research. ”

Hearing the name Professor Faltins, Shinichi Mochizuki's brows twitched fiercely, and he hurriedly reached out and picked up the cup, hiding the embarrassment on his face with drinking.

However, because his movements were too stiff, he was inadvertently glimpsed by Lu Zhou.

Before that, there had been rumors in the mathematics community that this guy had always been a very cheerful person before entering Princeton, and at least half of the reason why he was autistic on the spot after graduation was related to Faltins.

Although Professor Wiles, who once proved Fermat's theorem, spoke very highly of Mochizuki, as Professor Zhang Shouwu, another high-ranking disciple of Faltins, said, studying or working under that old Germanic man who thought highly of himself was quite a test of mental endurance.

Perhaps only Schultz, a genius who seems to him to be expected to surpass himself, can feel a little kindness or kindness in him.

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

"Thank you."

Schultz nodded slightly, expressing his gratitude.

After swallowing a sip of wine, Shinichi Mochizuki coughed dryly twice and continued with an expressionless face.

"I'm going to stay here for two months and then go back."

Schultz smiled and said, "Is it because of Kyoto University?" If you want to wait for the limelight to pass and go back, you can go with me to Germany, which is quite interesting, and many European mathematicians are interested in you and your research. ”

"Forget it, if they are interested, they can come to me in the Far East." Pushing his glasses, Shinichi Mochizuki continued, "I'm going to stay here for a while, not because I'm not in the limelight, but because of quantum encryption algorithms, and I still have a lot of things I want to study...... Purely out of personal interest. ”

Although he has never admitted his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, in Lu Zhou's opinion, it makes no difference whether he admits it or not. It seems that he is also aware of this, so Shinichi Mochizuki simply did not hide it and directly said his thoughts.

Perelman, who was sitting next to him, shrugged his shoulders and followed the trend to tell what he was going to do next.

"I'm not done yet, I'll stay here until it's over."

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

"Of course, Hodge guessed, it's not something to keep secret anyway," Professor Perelman continued, "and by contrast, it's what I really care about, and I feel like I'm close to the end, so if you have time, you might as well give me a hand." ”

Schultz said with interest: "It sounds very interesting. ”

Shinichi Mochizuki: "It's not my area of expertise, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help." ”

"I'm interested, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance to help...... Or wait until I come back from Mars," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "The second batch of scientific expeditions to Mars is about to depart, and I'm afraid I'll be a little busy during this time." ”

Noticing that Shinichi Mochizuki was staring at him intently, he was slightly stunned halfway through his words, and couldn't help but stop talking, and said with an embarrassed smile.

“…… Any questions? ”

"Nothing." After being silent for a while, Shinichi Mochizuki sighed, pushed down his glasses and said, "...... I'm going to stay for a while anyway, and I'll talk about it when you come back. ”

The four of them continued to drink.

In addition to the celebration of the finale, the second half was themed with another one more theme for their teammate Scholz.

Just as the four of them were drinking, they sat at the table at the moment and did not realize that a storm had begun to brew the prelude to the hustle and bustle because of their research.

The entire mathematical community was stunned by a single paper......
