Reborn Technology Scholar

The two-day negotiation was intense and arduous.

Although the Russian Space Agency delegation has clearly realized during the past few days that the strength of China's aerospace industry is beyond their efforts to catch up, cooperation is the only way out, but as the world's number one company after China,

The two largest aerospace industries are powerful, and they have their own glory days. They have their own pride. Even if they want to sell, they must sell it at a good price.

As for China, although it was said before that as long as we can cooperate, we can negotiate any conditions and everything is easy to discuss, it does not mean that you can open your mouth and ask for prices. Naturally, you also need to lower the price. Otherwise, what else do you need to cooperate with?

Just wait a few years.

The first day of cooperation negotiations ended unhappily.

Qin Yuanqing did not participate in the cooperation negotiations. He felt that this kind of cooperation negotiation should be left to professionals. He accompanied Perelman to visit Chang'an City, experiencing the prosperity of this city that never sleeps and the radiance of it.

With the ancient heritage, we visited Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum and the terracotta warriors and horses in Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum.

"Time is really the greatest force in the world. Nothing can stop the erosion of time. Now only these things can be seen of the once glorious civilization, and the rest can no longer be seen."

Perelman said with emotion: "Man seems great and has created a brilliant civilization, but he is also insignificant in the face of time. It is said that knowledge and wisdom are eternal, but in fact it is just that time is not long enough. When time

As the scale becomes longer, all knowledge and wisdom will completely become historical dust, and no one will know it."

Qin Yuanqing understood what Perelman meant.

Human beings have never stopped thinking about time, or the pursuit of life span has never stopped. Some sages put forward a view that knowledge and wisdom are eternal, which means that the knowledge you create and the wisdom records you contribute

As long as the record is immortal, and as long as someone is still learning your knowledge and wisdom, then you will be immortal.

There is another view that is very similar to this, that is, as long as your name can go down in history and be remembered by future generations, you will be immortal. It is also this view, so since ancient times, people have either pursued profit or fame, no matter how indifferent they are to fame and fortune.

People all long to do great things and go down in history forever, and being able to go down in history in a sense means immortality. It also evolved from this that many people do good deeds, and then hope to be enshrined as gods after death, and become

A god is immortal as long as the temple remains and people worship it.

This evolved into a saying that people have three kinds of death, one is physiological death, one is sociological death, and the other is historical death. The first level of death is in the conventional sense.

The second level of death means that other people know that you are dead and the society considers you dead; and the third level is that no one in this world remembers you anymore!

These three kinds of death can also be understood as, as long as you have not experienced one kind of death, then you are still alive.

Of course, in the face of the power of time, no matter how great you are, no matter how famous you are, no matter how great your contribution to mankind is, when the time comes and mankind is destroyed, you will naturally be completely destroyed.

"We have an old Chinese saying that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature! The value of life is that there is only so much time, and the maximum scale is there. At this maximum scale, how wonderful can you get." Qin Yuanqing's eyes Somewhat profound, aging is a sad topic, and it is a topic that no one can avoid. No matter who you are, no matter how much power you have, no matter how much wealth you have, or you are just the lowest level person. , when the time comes, you have to face aging, or birth, old age, illness and death.

Life, aging, sickness and death are issues that a person must face from birth, and you can’t escape them!

"Qin, don't you plan to leave a legacy to the mathematics world so that mathematics can continue to develop forward?" Perelman mentioned the mathematics that he is most interested in.

For Perelman, he is also about to start his retirement life. He is no longer interested in other things that are disturbing him, because there is nothing he can do. The only thing that still makes him interested is mathematics.

Even in mathematics, some papers took Perelman a long time to understand. This has made Perelman deeply aware that his thinking has become very slow under the erosion of time.

But there is one thing that bothers him about mathematics that he can never let go of. That is that all the famous conjectures in mathematics have been solved, even the seven major mathematical conjectures in the world have been solved.

Although many mathematicians have tried to propose some mathematical conjectures in recent years, none of these mathematical conjectures has sufficient weight and has great research value.

From the current point of view, mathematics has experienced a golden age of nearly thirty years. This thirty-year golden age of mathematical development has surpassed any previous era, whether it is the number of mathematicians, the number of published mathematical papers, or the quality of papers. It is definitely better than any other period. A group of young mathematicians have grown into world-class mathematicians, and some even won the Fields Medal at the age of 30.

However, there are no mathematical conjectures with enough weight to guide mathematical research and exploration, which means that the future of mathematics is dark, tortuous and bumpy.

Some mathematical conjectures with research value do not lie in proving that the mathematical conjecture is true or proving that the mathematical conjecture is not true. Their value lies in the birth of new mathematical thinking and new mathematical tools in the process. This is its greatest value. value!

Although mathematical conjecture is only a part of mathematics, not all of it, it is undoubtedly an extremely important part of the development of mathematics. The lack of this part now means that the development of mathematics in the future will be very tortuous and bumpy.

If mathematics stops developing, it will be disastrous for other subjects, and it will inevitably stagnate very quickly. Because mathematics is the foundation of all natural subjects, without the support of mathematics, other natural subjects cannot even think about development.

Perelman also thought about it in his spare time. He came up with an interesting mathematical conjecture, which could be regarded as his last fortune in the world of mathematics. Unfortunately, he tried several times, and his thinking was no longer enough to support him in proposing such a valuable idea. mathematical conjecture.

Many of the great mathematical conjectures in history were created by mathematicians who had a sudden inspiration. They captured this inspiration and wrote beautiful formulas or discussions. However, they were unable to answer their own conjectures and passed them down.

, attracting mathematicians to study hard with the intention of solving the puzzle. In such exploration, mathematics can continuously add fresh blood and thus continue to develop.

"Qin, as a friend and a mathematician, I suggest you leave a rich wealth to the mathematics community for future generations to explore, so that you can continue to promote the development of society." Perelman said seriously and seriously.

He gave his own suggestions seriously.

It's almost the same. When Perelman left Shuimu University, he once told Qin Yuanqing that unfortunately after so many years, Qin Yuanqing has been silent. Perelman felt that Qin Yuanqing was too busy, so he had to send out well-intentioned suggestions again.

.

"Perelman, we are friends. I think I have to tell you that mathematics has almost reached an end in its current situation. Now there is actually only the unification of mathematics." Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment and organized his language.

: "Unless humans can truly break through the constraints of the solar system, enter the vast universe, and experience more of the wonders of the universe, it will be possible for mathematics to have a higher ceiling."

"This is like the magical world of mathematics. We humans see it through a tube. Now what we humans can see is the maximum field of view that this tube can see. If we want to see more faces, we have to

Expand the diameter of the tube." Qin Yuanqing said using a relatively simple and clear metaphor.

In his view, now that we observe and think from the perspective of the earth, mathematics has almost reached its ceiling. Without insight, sufficient vision and accumulation, it is very difficult to break this ceiling.

At least for now, Qin Yuanqing has no way to break this ceiling, because essentially he is also a two-dimensional and a half creature, also a life on earth, rather than completing a life transition and thinking about mathematics in a higher dimension.

"Has it reached this level?" Perelman was stunned, a little unbelievable.

In his impression and understanding, Qin Yuanqing's attainments in mathematics were unparalleled, and he was undoubtedly the first person in history. He opened up a new world of mathematics, brought thirty years of golden development time to the mathematics world, and made mathematics gain great progress.

Development, this contribution cannot be overstated.

At the same time, Qin Yuanqing also has the most say in mathematics and can put forward truly meaningful mathematical conjectures. If other mathematicians can't do anything, then only Qin Yuanqing can do it. If Qin Yuanqing can't do anything, other mathematicians must be at a loss as well.

And Qin Yuanqing said that mathematics has reached its end, so it is really possible that mathematics has reached its end.

Qin Yuanqing was silent and didn't say anything. He couldn't think of any major development in human mathematics in the next three hundred or five hundred years. What can be discovered is basically within the existing framework.

This is the luck of mathematics, because the framework has been established and there is a direction for development, so it can save a lot of work. But it is also the tragedy of mathematics. When mathematicians go on to study mathematics one after another and work hard all their lives,

As a result, they find that they are still unable to break out of the frame that has been drawn, and they cannot break the ceiling that spans their heads. What is even sadder is that they may work hard all their lives and not be able to see the ceiling that has been erected above them, and then still

Feeling smug.
