"This guy is a demon......

Jinling University Library.

The door slammed open, and he snatched the door out of the activity room with a stack of drafts, and Mochizuki Shin's eyes were bloodshot with vague steps, and the whole person was babbling to himself like crazy.

“…… No, it should be said hell. ”

It's been a week since Schultz last said he wanted to "give it a try."

Except for Perelman, who was not involved, he and Schultz confidently followed Lu Zhou into the next room, which was closed for several days.

Before the retreat began, the three of them made an agreement that they would stick to it if they could, and they could quit at any time if they couldn't hold on. But as long as you haven't given up, everything has to be as Lu Zhou said.

At first, Shinichi Mochizuki didn't take it too seriously, and he didn't even think about the situation that he wouldn't be able to hold on. After all, in his opinion, what can be overcome with perseverance is not a big problem, let alone an example next to him that can persevere.

Soon, however, he realized how wrong he was......

It's good to say that he relies on takeout for three meals a day, and it is not a big problem for him to eat and drink Lazar in the library and not go out, but he never thought that even sleeping here has become a luxury.

According to Lu Zhou, if you are sleepy, it is enough to lie on the table for a while, and when the fatigue value breaks through a limit, you will enter an unprecedented realm.

This is no longer something that perseverance can face, is it pure masochism?!

At first, it was a little useful, and the feeling of inspiration made him feel more comfortable than ever, but after about five days of this state of life, he began to lose it.

First the mind began to wander, and then the body gave a warning.

Finally, on the seventh day, today, he felt that if he didn't come out again, he might have to die suddenly inside.

Looking at Shinichi Mochizuki who came out of the room, Schultz, who was sitting behind the desk, had such an expression on his face, and complained with deep agreement.

"You're finally out? I guess you can't hold on anymore...... How can a normal person go 24 hours without sleeping? I've never heard of such a mess. ”

Unlike Mochizuki, he only lasted three days before he was completely defeated. But he didn't think there was any shame in this, after all, even the best research methods may not be suitable for everyone, just as he didn't feel the kind of inspiration that Lu Zhou described, in contrast to he still liked to delve into these interesting mathematical problems in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Next to the desk not far away, Perelman turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and looked up at the two of them, a hint of surprise written on his expressionless face.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Schultz and Mochizuki glanced at each other, and a wry smile appeared on their faces.

"It's not just an exaggeration......"

"At his pace, no one can stick to it...... Except for himself. ”

At that moment, the door suddenly opened again.

The subject they were discussing happened to come out with a stack of A4 papers.

"When do I have 24 hours without sleep? I'm a normal person anyway, can I still sleep? ”

couldn't help but yawn, Lu Zhou, who heard the conversation between the three of them, replied casually, and threw the stack of A4 paper in his hand that was almost full of writing on the table closest to him.

"I've got this part done, what about you?"

Looking at the stack of drafts on the table, Schultz's eyes lit up.

However, it is clear that now is not the time for him to study these things. His own part wasn't finished yet, and he didn't want to end up with the guy dragging the whole group back.

Schultz: "I'm a little bit close. ”

Shinichi Mochizuki followed up and said, "Me too." ”

Perelman thought for a moment and said, "I'm pretty much ...... Probably in the afternoon. ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "Then it's good afternoon, let's summarize the results of the research, and then have a discussion meeting." If nothing else, this should be the last discussion meeting before we get this topic done. ”

"Wait a minute," Schultz said, raising his hand, a little embarrassed, "or tomorrow afternoon, I have a place here...... I'll have to think about it for a while. ”

Shinichi Mochizuki nodded as well.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was the same...... Probably tomorrow to get it done.

Lu Zhou's eyebrows were raised, and he looked at him with interest and asked.

"Hit a bottleneck?"

Schultz said with a light cough.

"Sort of."

"It's normal," Lu Zhou continued, "the part you're responsible for is relatively difficult. It just so happens that I've already done this part, if you don't have any good ideas, you can talk about your problem, and I'll help you think about it. ”

Hearing Lu Zhou say this, Schultz was not polite, picked up the marker and walked to the side of the whiteboard, and scribbled a line of calculations on it.

【d＜D(rad(abc))^（3/7 ε）}】

Retracting the marker pen in his hand, Schultz handed it to Lu Zhou and spoke.

"This is the result of my refinement based on Baker's theorem, and I tried to progressively move it to the ABC conjecture according to the solution you provided, but ...... It doesn't seem to be that easy to solve. ”

"It's kind of interesting...... I'll take a look. ”

With an expression of interest on his face, he took the marker from Schultz's hand, Lu Zhou stared at the calculation on the whiteboard and thought quietly, and unconsciously turned the marker in his hand in circles.

When he turned to the sixth lap, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and a sudden expression appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his hand, crossed out the line of equation on the whiteboard, and wrote the corrected result next to it.

【d＜D(rad(abc))^（1/4 ε） ε}】

Retracting the marker pen printed on the whiteboard, Lu Zhou took a half-step back.

"I tried to check it, and it should be proven...... And it's more accurate than the original conclusion, you can try to deduce, and the specific proof process shouldn't need my help. ”

Staring at the equation on the whiteboard, Schultz was stunned.

Just stared at the equation on the whiteboard with a confused face, and after about five minutes, he came back to his senses as if he had finally figured it out, and looked at Lu Zhou with a ghost-like expression.

“WTF？！ How did you do that?! Wait a minute...... Or do you already have the answer figured out?! ”

Because he was so surprised that he never burst into foul language, he couldn't help but burst into foul language this time.

"Hehe, how is it possible," looking at Schultz, who was so shocked that he had begun to talk nonsense, Lu Zhou returned the marker pen in his hand to him, smiled modestly and said, "It's just a coincidence that I thought of it, some things are like intuition, and I'm sure you sometimes feel similar." ”

Schultz: "...... No, I don't, it's the first time I've heard that intuition can be so precise. ”

Shinichi Mochizuki, who was standing next to him, nodded his head approvingly, and couldn't help but ask.

“…… What exactly is your head made of? ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then said jokingly.

"I don't know, but I'm sure the materials used are similar to yours."

Clearing his throat, Lu Zhou continued to look at Schultz.

"Now that the problem has been solved, are you sure that the rest will be taken care of by tomorrow evening?"

Nodding, Schultz smiled confidently.

"No problem, if it's fast, it'll be enough tonight!"

"Really? That's great," Lu Zhou smiled, nodded and said, "I'm waiting for your good news." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you down!" 8)
