Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Go to Beijing.

Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In a not-so-large conference room, the crowd was crowded.

Most of them are the leaders of the major public mathematical research institutions in China, and the most prestigious scholars of all sizes.

As for why they are sitting here ...

In fact, they didn't know it themselves.

"There isn't even a conference agenda."

Looking at the mineral water bottle standing there alone on the conference table, Wang Shicheng frowned.

When he was about to ask a staff member for a question, a familiar voice suddenly passed from the side.

"Wang Shicheng? Haha, you old guy was also invited?"

Hearing this voice, Wang Shicheng looked sideways with displeased expression, and saw Xiang Academician came over with a smile on his face, and sat down beside him.

"Our Institute of Mathematics at Yanda University is also the top mathematical research institution in China. Why can't I come?"

"Hey, look at what you said, I didn't mean that, I was just a bit surprised," he looked around, lowered his voice to the academician, and said softly, "I looked at it, it seems that it is not just the major research institutions The number one player in the field of domestic number theory has been invited ... I don't know what the conference is going to discuss. "

"No."

"No?" He froze slightly, looking at him with a little incomprehension.

Without looking at the academician, Wang Shicheng just raised his eyelid and glanced at the conference room, and said lightly.

"Speaking of experts in the field of number theory, there is one other person who has not come."

"You mean Academician Lu?"

"Yes," Nodded his head, Wang Shicheng said frankly, "Number theory, if he calls second, no one dares to call first. Since he is a scholar who summoned number theory, and he is not so smart here, I can Guess that this will probably be related to him. "

Although he didn't particularly like the young man, he still admired that person's mathematical achievements.

While talking, a middle-aged man in formal attire came to the podium in front of the conference room.

As the man coughed gently, the voice in the conference room quieted.

Although he is not academia, as the second leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the vast majority of scholars sitting here will be familiar with him.

"It seems this meeting is not easy."

Hearing a whisper to Xiang Huanan, Wang Shicheng didn't speak, but just nodded in silence.

The "Industry Conference" hosted by the Second Leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology ...

Can this be simpler?

"To make a long story short." After a slight cough, the man standing in front of the podium quickly entered the subject with a serious expression, "You are about to come into contact with the highest state secrets, and the level of confidentiality is tentatively confidential. If there are no other changes, The period of confidentiality is thirty years. After the meeting, it is forbidden to discuss the issues related to the meeting in private and to disclose or disclose any relevant information about the meeting. "

"Of course, the specific top-secret content has nothing to do with you or me. In order to facilitate the work, I will try to pick the main points here."

After a pause, the man nodded to the staff member next to him, signaled him to turn on the projector.

Soon, as the projector turned on, a ppt of black text on a white background was presented on the curtain.

The moment he saw this question, a whispered voice was heard in the conference room.

Almost everyone's face was filled with unexpected expressions.

"Abc guess !?"

"What the **** is this going to do? I don't understand why."

"It looks like it's going to call everyone to solve mathematical problems."

"It's just nonsense. Is this something that can be done by focusing?"

Listening to the voice in the ear, he opened his mouth to Academician South China, and it took a while to look at Academician Wang Shicheng sitting next to him, with a strange expression.

"Pharaoh, what do you think."

There were also two words on the face, Wang Shicheng squeezed a word from his mouth after a long time.

"... I don't know, don't ask me."

abc conjecture ...

Although I don't know what the inevitable connection between this gadget and the state secret is, he reasonably told him that this gadget is not a solution to the problem by convening a top domestic expert to hold a meeting.

"This is a mathematical problem. I believe that at your level, I don't need to explain more. I will only focus on the points here." Looking at the conference room, the expression on the man's face did not change, and he continued to say, "The Ministry of Science and Technology has set up a special research fund with an annual budget of 100 million yuan."

"Whoever can solve this problem will have this funding."

Who can solve it? !!

When we heard this sentence, everyone who was still talking about the previous second, took a breath of indifference.

Even Wang Shicheng, who has retired for many years, couldn't help but screamed.

100 million research funding? !!

And it's still 100 million a year ...

Is this crazy?

For some academicians of engineering sciences, a hundred million yuan may not be worth much, and it will cost two equipment. Especially for those scientists who make rockets and grow the sun, let alone 100 million, doubling them may not be enough.

However, for a poor subject like mathematics, 100 million is already an astronomical figure.

If there is so much money, I'm afraid I have to worry about spending every year.

"What happened is worth the price of the Ministry of Science and Technology ..." Frowning, Academician Xiang Hua, sitting beside him, muttered in an incredible tone.

"I don't know ..." Academician Wang Shicheng shook his head gravely, "But I'm sure the relationship behind this is not small."

...

In fact, many academics at the conference room, including Academician Wang Shicheng, had the correct hunch.

A report from Mars not only transformed the entire 128 project into a Class A secret, but also made the entire high-rise office of the manned fire as close to the enemy.

Extraterrestrial civilization ...

A day ago, this sounded like a distant concept.

However, this has become a problem that everyone has to face.

Just when the leaders of almost all public mathematics institutes across the country were called to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a meeting, a ministerial closed-door meeting was also going on at Chang'an Street, not far away.

"... It's simply open to the international community, and regardless of the benefits that are not known, the risks are too great! If all goes well, it's fine, if it's not handled well, it might even let us count Ten years of hard work and achievements have been lost, and they have to bear the stigma of all human sinners. "

"I agree with Minister Wang, just like global climate action, this is no longer a problem facing our country, but a problem faced by all mankind. Even if it is top secret, it will be kept secret for up to thirty years. The world is so embarrassed that it is better to take risks to ourselves than to make them public to a limited extent. "

"I object, at least until we confirm security, we should ensure that all options are in our hands!"

"Secondary! If it's useful, what if it's useless, even if it's public? Who else can you expect to help besides arguing? Those Americans?"

"I do n’t agree with disclosure, but I do n’t agree with this either. We can completely disclose some information with reservations, and on the premise of relatively controlling the channels of dialogue, set up an international organization to discuss countermeasures. This not only helps us Increasing international influence can even avoid the risk of a crisis of trust. Otherwise, once a little bit of wind is leaked, or if other countries have the evidence of our own contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, it is likely that our relationship with the international community will fall into a very Awkward situation. "

"Indeed ... it's too difficult to keep it completely secret for ten or twenty years without leaking a little bit of wind!"

At any time, contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is a matter of risk.

This risk is not just from distant light years, but also from Earth's neighbors within easy reach.

If a country makes contact with extraterrestrial civilizations alone, it means that he has all the power to diplomacy with extraterrestrial civilizations, including declaring war and peace talks, while other countries can only become passive recipients of all dialogue results.

The benefits are all taken up by others, but they have to take risks with them, and they are even caught in the drum, and no one will be willing to change them. It would be nice if you could keep it secret, but obviously it's impossible.

Looking at the controversial conference room, the elder sitting at the conference table was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Zhou and asked.

"That abc guess, can't you solve it?"

Although this question may seem irrelevant to the conference agenda, in fact, the most important point was asked.

To be able to solve this mathematical problem seems to be the prerequisite for dialogue with that extraterrestrial civilization.

Gradually began to realize this, the voice of the discussion gradually subsided, and everyone in the conference room was quiet, waiting for his answer quietly.

"I don't know," Lu Zhou shook his head in the face of a pair of eyes that looked at himself, and said sternly, "This kind of thing is only known after trying it ... and intuitively, even if it can be solved, I am afraid it will take a lot of time. "

The old man thought for a while and nodded.

"Ignore the situation where there is no answer for the time being. Now suppose you have solved this problem. Who do you think is better?"

"From a sincere point of view, it is naturally better for the person who solves the problem." After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "If in the end it is me ... and not someone else solves the problem, I am willing to go Mars."

The elder frowned.

"Can't talk remotely?"

"It's difficult," Lu Zhou said, shaking his head. "Don't say it's Mars. Even the earth can't transmit radio signals so deep underground. Unless a communication base station is built on the ground and the optical cable is laid down. The current conditions of the base make it almost impossible to achieve this. "

After a pause, looking at the others in the conference room, Lu Zhou continued.

"Moreover, I would like to go over and see what the so-called alien looks like."

"I think it's still too risky." Although moved by the spirit of Lu Zhou's selfless dedication, Director Li still couldn't help but say, "That's Mars tens of millions of kilometers away ... what's the point of this link The problem is not a joke. "

"Science itself is adventure. When did I say that I was playing around?" Lu Zhou said calmly, looking at his old friend with concern on his face. "If everything goes well, this meeting will bring us The impact may be greater than controlled fusion. "

"Whether thinking from the standpoint of the country or humanity."

"I need to go there in person!"
