Jin Ling University.
Two mathematics students who came to the library to study on their own were sitting quietly in a corner of the library.
One of them, who was wearing a pair of glasses, gestured in the air on the holographic screen while the other was lying on the table, thinking hard about the formulas on the holographic screen.
Pushing the glasses up the bridge of his nose, Zhang Tao took a moment to glance at the holographic screen on his roommate’s desk. He suddenly showed an expression as if he had discovered a new world.
“Yo, Old Xu, why are you still researching physics?”
As if he didn’t want to be found out about what he was doing, Xu Teli gave his roommate a side glance and said with a dry cough, “No, it’s just interesting to see this equation. It doesn’t seem to be difficult, so I’m trying to solve it.”
“And then? Have you solved it yet?”
Seeing his roommate leaning in eagerly, Xu Teli had to admit his failure angrily.
“F*ck, something that even Academician Lu can’t solve… Of course I can’t solve it!”
He admitted that he did have unrealistic ideas at first. For example, he thought that, since Academician Lu came from a century ago, the difficult problem that he faced could actually be easily solved by those who were living in this era.
And if he could solve this problem that even his ancestors were troubled by, not only would the professors look at him with admiration, but he might also receive the Lu Zhou Mathematics Prize, which was the holy grail of mathematics.
After all, Lu Zhou said it himself.
If anyone could solve this problem, he would personally award the Lu Zhou Mathematics Prize to that person.
Of course, he had completely abandoned this plan now.
No matter how he looked at it, the gravitational wave equation of this Z particle was already in its simplest form; there was no room for simplification. As for whether there was room for further improvement in the physics sense, it was beyond the scope of his professional knowledge.
Upon hearing these words, Sun Tao, who was wearing square-rim glasses, was shocked. He said in a humiliating voice, “Nutty, kiddo, you are all starting to challenge the public proposition issued by Academician Lu.”
He reached out his right hand and touched his buddy’s forehead, but he was slapped away by a hand.
“F*ck off, stop f*cking teasing me, and don’t talk to me for 5 minutes!”
Looking at his depressed roommate, Sun Tao made a helpless expression on his face. His index finger flicked twice in the air.
“Actually, you shouldn’t be so depressed. This is not just Academician Lu, almost the whole mathematics circle is trying to solve this thing, including Professor Sun Jingwen… I don’t know if you follow the discussion on the LSPM forum, but several big names have already made the conclusion that this equation cannot be further simplified. There are also several physicists who believe that unless a large number of high-energy experiments provide new data, the gravitational wave equation is basically the most accurate expression.”
After hearing this sentence, Xu Teli finally felt a little comfort in his heart, but he quickly felt embarrassed by his previous unrealistic idea.
“What a waste of time…”
Originally, he thought that this atypical high-dimensional topology problem was somewhat similar in structure to Poincaré’s theorem, but it seemed that he was too naive.
He dragged the entire draft paper into the recycle bin and clicked the delete button.
In midst of his friend’s jokes, he completely abandoned this unsuccessful attempt…
…
Like Sun Tao said, there were plenty of people discussing the Z particle gravitational wave equation on the LSPM forum.
And those who just came to join in the fun of mathematics had also rushed into the discussion.
What interested them was not those complicated academic issues, but the gossip behind this academic issue.
For example…
As the chief consultant of the space elevator project, why did Lu Zhou become interested in the Z particle’s gravitational wave equation at this special time?
Compared to the perfunctory explanation of temporary intentions, most people were more willing to believe that Academician Lu must have discovered something extraordinary while studying problems in the space field.
And in Lu Zhou’s opinion, the importance of this thing even surpassed the space elevator!
If this was the case, it would be somewhat interesting.
The greatest physical property of Z particles was that they could interfere with gravity when they oscillated, thereby affecting the curvature of spacetime.
And precisely because of this special physical property, as early as a century ago, the particle that seemed to float from the Void was linked to the concept of faster than light speed by physicists.
Compared with the neutrinos that disappointed him again and again, the Z particles clearly had this potential.
If Lu Zhou really discovered something in the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle and found a way to stabilize the hyperspace channel, the impact on human civilization would be even stronger than the second-generation controllable nuclear fusion…
After all, mastering the key to faster than light speed meant mastering the key to a more distant world.
Even if it was temporarily impossible to travel to more distant worlds, even if things like warp travel were still a bit far away, just sending a few photons or pieces of information into the hyperspace channel would have a huge impact on human civilization.
It was precisely because of this that not only Jin Ling University, but almost all universities and research institutions involved in theoretical physics research were paying attention to this proposition.
As a large-scale scientific research institution second only to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the Pan-Asian Academy of Sciences was naturally involved.
After learning that this public proposition was elevated to such a high position by Lu Zhou, Professor Hao Zeyu and Professor Lu Wenmao immediately put aside their work and devoted themselves to the research of this proposition.
Unlike the students who were playing around, they were not only serious professors of theoretical physics and mathematical physics but also elite scholars in their field of study.
Not only had these two won multiple physics awards in the international field, but because of their outstanding contributions in the field of hyperspace, they were regarded as two of the most competitive candidates for the Lu Zhou Physics Award.
Holding a cup of hot tea, Hao Zeyu walked to the side of Professor Lu Wenmao and pulled out the chair. He sat down and said in a chatty tone, “I just went to the LSPM forum to look around.”
Professor Lu Wenmao paused the holographic screen as he cast a questioning gaze at him.
“Any new discoveries?”
Professor Hao Zeyu smiled and said, “If you are asking about academic findings, they are not available yet, but looking at the gossip discussed by those netizens, I think it’s quite interesting.”
“When did you become interested in those boring things?”
“Is it boring? I don’t think so.” Professor Hao Zeyu moistened his throat with a sip of the hot tea before continuing, “The stable and oscillating Z particles can make space bend steadily. As early as a century ago, Lu Zhou proved this through mathematical methods, and in 2043, under the guidance of Professor Luo Wenxuan, the ILHCRC successfully proved this through experiments…
“It is now 2126, and three and a half weeks have passed since the launch of the space elevator project. At this special point in time, Academician Lu, who is the chief consultant of the space elevator project, suddenly turned his attention from the geosynchronous orbit to the Z particle. Don’t you think there might be something strange in this?”
After listening to the analysis of his colleague, Professor Lu Wenmao couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
Now that he puts it like this…
It does sound interesting.
“Tell me your opinion?”
“It’s just a hypothesis,” said Professor Hao Zeyu. He continued, “Based on my understanding of the Z particle, he probably didn’t research space elevator-related things during this period. Instead, he was researching warp drive or similar things, and he is almost successful.”
With a gleam in his eyes, Professor Lu Wenmao blurted out, “However, he still lacks the most critical key?”
“Yes!” Professor Hao Zeyu smiled and nodded, “This key is the gravitational wave equation of the Z particle!”
He put his right hand on Professor Lu Wenmao’s shoulder and continued with a bright smile on his face, “So you understand, my friend, we are engaged in a great undertaking, even greater than the space elevator, and this is something that only us theorists can do!”
“If our Z particle wave equation promotes the birth of the warp drive, we will become the founders of the future era!
“As well as the greatest physicists of this century!”
