The Science Fiction World of Xueba

In the next few days, Pang Xuelin continued to study the proof process of the BSD conjecture. He even asked the little nurse Olivia to find him paper and pens. Because the wound was close to the right shoulder, he could not use his right hand, so he had to use his left hand. Calculations with a pen.

Although it took a lot of effort, it did not reduce Pang Xuelin's research enthusiasm much.

Soon, there was another rumor about the nerd in the hospital.

During the period, both Shi Qiang and Kanter visited Pang Xuelin several times, and they were relieved to see Pang Xuelin enjoying himself alone.

A week later, Pang Xuelin was able to get out of bed and walk around.

So he stopped lying on the hospital bed during the day, but started to go downstairs to do research.

There are lawns and small gardens downstairs in the hospital, as well as tables and chairs for people to rest.

Pang Xuelin often stayed below for half a day.

On this day, he just went downstairs to sit down, spread out the manuscript paper, and prepared to do calculations, when a voice suddenly came from in front of him.

"Brother Pang, I'm convinced of you. I've seen many nerds. It's rare to see someone as desperate as you... No, there should be one. That guy is also a math genius, but he's different from you. The reason why he studies mathematics is because he feels that life is too boring, so mathematics can bring him some fun."

Pang Xuelin raised his head and saw Shi Qiang walking over with a smile.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Da Shi, you are here, sit down! Who is that person you are talking about?"

Shi Qiang said with a smile: "That guy used to work for your ETO, specializing in the study of the three-body problem in mathematics, but he was just doing research all at once, and he didn't know much about the Earth's three-body organization. After investigating for a while, we I let him go, and later I heard that he found a temple and was going to become a monk.”

Pang Xuelin said: "You mean Wei Cheng, right?"

Shi Qiang was slightly taken aback: "You know him?"

But he quickly reacted: "That's right, you are a member of the Adventist faction, and Wei becomes the work of the Salvation faction. The two of you are enemies, so it is natural to know his existence."

Pang Xuelin just smiled and didn't speak.

In the novel, Wei Cheng is the character who the Adventist school wants to get rid of quickly. He is afraid that he will successfully research the three-body problem, so that the three-body people can successfully reproduce in the centaur, and thus give up the idea of ​​​​invading the earth.

Pat——

Shi Qiang took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said, "Brother Pang, I came here today to say goodbye to you."

"Farewell?" Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, "Are you going back to China?"

Shi Qiang nodded and said: "The matter of the Adventist faction is almost over. I am a straightforward person, easy to offend people, and I can't get along with the CIA guys, so the old chief transferred me back. By the way, the plan you proposed I also told the old chief, who said that you are a man of great wisdom. Brother Pang, I don’t know if you are going to return to China after your injury, or continue to stay in the United States?”

Pang Xuelin said: "Should be returning to China, because I participated in ETO before, I don't know if the country welcomes me back."

Shi Qiang laughed and said, "Brother Pang, you think too much. How could we not welcome a talent like you, not to mention, you have made great contributions to mankind!"

Pang Xuelin said: "That's good, I guess I will return to China within a month or two after recovering from my injury."

Shi Qiang said: "Brother Pang, remember to come to me when the time comes, I'm a big bastard, you and I may not be able to talk, but I know a few friends who are scientists, and I should have a common language with you."

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being slightly taken aback. The scientist friends Shi Qiang knew should be Wang Miao and Ding Yi.

Wang Miao is the protagonist of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" and the chief scientist who studies flying blade materials. If you want to make flying blade materials in reality, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with Wang Miao.

Not to mention another Ding Yi, a physicist and the discoverer of macro atoms, whether in "Three-Body" or in another science fiction novel "Ball Lightning" by Liu,

He was impressive.

Ding Yi, who is made of iron, is the Madonna of flowing water.

It's not just casual talk.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help laughing: "No problem, when I return to China, I will inevitably disturb you!"

Shi Qiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll take you around Forty-Nine City and eat all the delicacies in the streets and alleys."

The two chatted for a while, and Da Shi took his leave.

Pang Xuelin shook his head and continued his research.

But not long after the research, someone came over again.

This time, it was a woman who spoke.

"Dr. Pang, hello!"

Pang Xuelin raised his head, and what appeared in front of him was an Asian woman in her forties with an exotic style.

She is petite, with a unique temperament, and a trace of crow's feet can be seen faintly at the corners of her eyebrows. It can be seen that she must have been a rare beauty when she was young.

Kantor followed her self-consciously.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback, and asked tentatively, "Ms. Say?"

Say smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Dr. Pang, I took the liberty to visit and chatter."

The person here is Ms. Say, the new Secretary-General of the United Nations. This is another beautiful politician from the Philippines who has contributed to the world after Arroyo.

In the early days of the Era of Crisis, Say made outstanding contributions in balancing the interests of various countries and reorganizing the power structure of the United Nations. The Star Project initiated by her also had a profound impact on the history of human civilization.

Pang Xuelin stood up, shook hands with Say, and said, "Ms. Say, please sit down."

The two sat down facing each other, Say looked at the manuscript paper on the table with some curiosity, and asked, "Dr. Pang, what kind of research are you doing?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "It's some research on the BSD conjecture."

Said: "Is the research going well?"

Pang Xuelin said: "There are already some clues, and I am sorting out the papers."

Say didn't know much about academics, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about Pang Xuelin's words, but Kanter, who was on the side, said in shock: "Dr. Pang, you have proved the BSD conjecture?"

Pang Xuelin blushed a little and said, "If there are no accidents, there will be results soon!"

Say asked Kanter curiously: "Is the BSD conjecture important?"

Kantor said: "This conjecture is well-known in the mathematics world, and it is known as one of the seven major problems of the millennium. If Dr. Pang can prove the BSD conjecture, he will at least receive a Fields Medal."

Sai couldn't help being taken aback. Although she didn't know the difficulty of the BSD conjecture, she knew the gold content of the Fields Medal.

The Fields Medal is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics. Those who can win the Fields Medal are almost all top mathematicians in the world.

Say looked Pang Xuelin up and down, and said with a smile: "Dr. Pang, I didn't expect your mathematical attainments to be so profound. Although sophons have blocked our exploration in fundamental physics, there is no way to stop our research in other disciplines. Thank you for your research, every ounce of your efforts is providing strength for human civilization to resist the invasion of Trisolaran civilization!"

Pang Xuelin smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Ms. Sai is over the award."

The proof process of the BSD conjecture was given by the system. Although there is no problem in counting it on his own head, Pang Xuelin is still a little embarrassed.

He quickly changed the subject and said, "Ms. Say, what can you do for me this time?"

Let the Secretary-General of the United Nations come to find him in person, Pang Xuelin doesn't think that the other party is just looking for him to chat.

Say said sternly: "Mr. Pang, the wall-facing plan you proposed before, after I discussed it with the representatives of the Security Council members, including the leaders of all countries, they all believed that this plan was a genius idea, and it caught the Trisolarans. The most fatal weakness is very feasible. But now the United Nations is undergoing reform, and the Security Council is preparing to reorganize into the Planetary Defense Council (PDC), so this plan will take at least one or two years before it can be implemented. I am here today, mainly to Pang The doctor asks two things."

"Tell me what it is!"

Say said: "The first question, do you have any suitable candidates for the wall-facers in the wall-facer project?"

Pang Xuelin shook his head and said: "Ms. Say, you have stumped me with this question. Wallfacers must have strong strategic thinking ability and execution ability, as well as indomitable will and uncompromising courage. It is so important I really don’t have a good candidate for the position. I think it should be recommended by the members of the Security Council. After all, the Wallfacers have too much authority, and the interests of all parties must be taken into account.”

Say smiled and said: "Mr. Pang, you can sum up the requirements of a qualified Wallfacer candidate so well, you are really qualified to recommend a Wallfacer candidate. But you are right, the Wallfacer candidates still need to take care of various aspects. It may be difficult to choose one in a short period of time. However, in my opinion, there is one who is more suitable right now, and I am sure that the permanent members of the Security Council will also agree."

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

Say smiled and said, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us!"

Pang Xuelin was taken aback, pointed at himself and said, "Ms. Say, you mean, let me run for Wallfacer? Isn't this a joke?"

Say said: "I'm not joking, Mr. Pang, you have been in ETO for so many years, you are familiar with ETO, and you are also familiar with the three-body civilization. And you, the creator of the Wall-Facing Project, the core needs of the Wall-Facing Project, You should be clearer than others, and being able to come up with such an exquisite counterattack plan shows that you have extremely strong strategic thinking and logical thinking ability, all of which meet the requirements of the Wallfacer!"

Pang Xuelin smiled bitterly: "Ms. Say, I was born in ETO, are you not afraid that I will betray mankind again?"

Sai smiled and said, "We believe in you!"

Pang Xuelin couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Ms. Say, stop joking with me. There are people who are more suitable for this position than me, such as the US Secretary of Defense Taylor who proposed a new type of war theory, and the Venezuelan who made the Americans eat up in the war." President Rey Diaz, who has suffered a lot, they all meet the qualifications of Wallfacer."

Say smiled and said: "Dr. Pang, look, you have given two qualified candidates? However, the candidate for the Wallfacer will not be decided for a while, and I am just asking you today." Thoughts, let’s talk about other things later! I won’t bother Dr. Pang anymore, Dr. Pang, goodbye.”

Pang Xuelin got up quickly, shook hands with Sai, and looked at the graceful back of the other party, a little terrified.

The Wallfacer is the most embarrassing position in history, with the greatest power in human history, but also the heaviest responsibility in history.

None of the Wallfacers in the novel had a good end.

Even Luo Ji, the so-called savior, ended up with his wife and children separated, and became a lonely family, and was scolded as the greatest dictator in human history.

But luckily today, Sai only asked for his opinion in private.

If he was directly granted the title of Wallfacer at the United Nations General Assembly, then Pang Xuelin might not be able to refuse it if he wanted to.

Because the primary job of the Wallfacers is to disguise themselves, the thoughts and behaviors of the Wallfacers to the outside world should be completely false, a carefully planned camouflage, the Wallfacers need to mislead and deceive, including the three-body civilization and human civilization. In the end, a huge and confusing maze of illusions is built, which makes the enemy lose his correct judgment and delays the time for the enemy to ascertain the real strategic intention of human beings.

Once you are awarded the title of Wallfacer at the Wallfacer Authorization Conference of the Special UN General Assembly, even if you refuse, the United Nations will agree, but who can be sure that this scene of yours is for Trisolarans?
