Chen Yushan bit his thumb and frowned. He looked at the chessboard and started to think hard.


The defeat is certain ...


There is no room for recovery.


He spent a long time thinking and finally accepted the defeat. He suggested with a tentative tone.


"… Let's play again."


Lu Zhou sighed and looked at the sky.


"Can I give up?"


"No!"


Chen Yushan was so angry that he wanted to start stomping his feet.


He is always ridiculed for math questions, "it's too easy", "free sign questions", "will be late for your graduate entrance exam". He wanted to earn the respect of playing chess, but Lu Zhou gave him nothing and even won 10 games in a row. He even let it start first.


Maybe my IQ is too low?


Chen Yushan had been summoned as a genius student for the past three years, but now he suddenly had doubts about his life.


Chen Yushan stubbornly pushed the chessboard and still wanted to play. Lu Zhou could not help but ask.


"Can I ask you a question?"


Chen Yushan replied in annoyance, "Ask."


Lu Zhou asked seriously, "Why do you think you're good at chess?"


Chen Yushan heard it and blushed as he said awkwardly, "When I was young, I never lost my parents ..."


"How young?"


Chen Yushan muttered softly, "I think it was in elementary school."


Good Lord!


You still remember things from elementary school ?!


Your parents obviously let you win. Are you not playing against others?


Lu Zhou did not know why, but he suddenly felt sorry for her.


They have the best seafood pizza for lunch. The truth is, the pizza at the coffee shop was delicious.


Although it was a bit expensive, Lu Zhou did not have to pay for it. She even left an empty space in her stomach and ordered ice cream for dessert afterwards.


Chen Yushan was eating a sandwich. As he watched Lu Zhou eat happily, he couldn't help but complain, “You really ate a lot. You will become fat if you are not careful. ”


Lu Zhou replied, "I wish I could be fat." He ate ice cream and a high-calorie chocolate mousse as he said nonchalantly, "I don't know why, but no matter how much I eat, I still can't be fat." "


It was suddenly quiet because Chen Yushan did not speak.


Emm ...


Is there any hatred buried in that joke?


There is a feeling of grief ...


Lu Zhou could not help but shudder.


...


It's been two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time, when they're back at school,


Lu Zhou noticed that it was still early in the morning so he returned to his dorm. He picked up the laptop and textbooks he borrowed before heading to the math building. He found an empty chair in the classroom.


It was four hours until the effects of drug resistance ran out. He would take the pill at six and study until eleven, maybe even twelve. The library would be closed at that time, so he could not study there.


He planned on using pills every day, but since he was busy tomorrow, he did not want to waste today. He decided to go out full day.


He opened his laptop and when he checked his email, he saw that Wang Xiaodong sent him a finished program.


He looked into the program and downloaded the code as a backup. He then began to write a thesis according to the format of the mathematical model.


He spent the afternoon finishing his thesis. He then attaches the program and thesis to an email and sends it to Professor Liu.


"I will work after I finish eating in the cafeteria," Lu Zhou thought. He stretched his back and stood up, then walked out of the classroom.


It was a summer vacation so the cafeteria was deserted.


The advantage is that he doesn't have to line up. The downside is that cafeteria workers are also on vacation, so there are fewer food options available.


However, this would not affect Lu Zhou as he always ate noodles for dinner.


Lu Zhou looked at Professor Tang and went to greet him. He placed his bowl on Professor Tang's desk.


Professor Tang looked at Lu Zhou and laughed before asking, "How is the preparation of mathematical modeling?"


Lu Zhou laughed as well and replied, “It's okay. I just sent homework to Professor Liu. "


"What have you been researching lately?"


Lu Zhou knew that Professor Tang did not ask about mathematical modeling, so he replied, "I read a recent thesis, it's about the progress of this GIMPS research ..."


Professor Tang was surprised. He smiled and asked, "Which one is from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"


Lu Zhou nodded and replied, “Yes, I read the 1992 thesis [the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers] and found the content very interesting. Unfortunately, this thesis process is too short and has only one conclusion, so I researched this topic further. ”


"Oh, I know that thesis," Professor Tang said. He felt nostalgic when he said, "Theses by Mr. That Zhou made a significant contribution to the Chinese math community."


Unfortunately, this thesis is too short because it is only two pages long. Although he proposed the exact formula for the Mersenne prime number, it did not provide any proof. In the end, it could only be published as a conjecture.


Professor Tang paused for a moment, looked at Lu Zhou, and smiled: "By the way, what happened to studying linear functions? Why do you study Mersenne primes? "


"Oh ... Just because of interest?"


Lu Zhou did not even believe this to be an uncertain tone in his voice.


Professor Tang did not believe it. He shook his head and said seriously, “Your talent in math is very high, but you are a bit too hasty. You can't achieve anything if you keep changing topics. You are too utilitarian. Do you think that Mersenne prime numbers are easy to solve? The GIMPS project you mentioned took a full eight years, and did not even know if the 44th Mersenne prime number was actually the 44th. You think the prize money is easy to get? "


Although they found the 44th Mersenne prime number in 2006, they still don't know if there are any other numbers among the 43rd and 44th prime numbers.


This was because the number was too large and the number of calculations was beyond imagination.


According to the reward criteria of the GIMPS project, if one wants to earn a prize, one must complete the first 100 million Mersenne primes. The reward was not worth the work done. After all, the prize for 100 million figures was only 150,000 US dollars. The cost is not worth the money spent.


It would be more profitable to mine bitcoin than to do mathematical research.


Professor Tang knew that Lu Zhou was after money.


Lu Zhou smiled apologetically and did not refute him.


It would be too difficult to explain to Professor Tang.


I think he could have misunderstood if he wanted to.


Professor Tang saw that Lu Zhou did not respond. Sighing, he said seriously, Your “Thesis is great. I spoke with some physics professors, and they agreed with me that if you just continue your research into this field, you will definitely become successful in two years. Even if you are a Utilitarian, you should still look for long-term profits. ”


Lu Zhou asked softly, "Professor, does this mean that you do not recommend me to continue researching in this field?"


Professor Tang shook his head and said, “That's not what I meant. It's just that I don't like this field. First of all, it is too esoteric, and secondly, it is difficult to produce results. Lastly, I haven't done much research in this area myself, so I can't help you. If you're really interested in research, then I'm not going to bother you. You will only delay yourself if you chase money. I've talked a lot, think for yourself! ”
