From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 176 Two?Not 2?No, it’s 4!
Curtis Cooper flipped back, but at this time the post only reached the 499th floor, which was still 2 floors away.

It's like downloading to 99.99% and then stopping. It makes people want to stop, want to resist but welcome, dissatisfied with desire, stop talking, and feel depressed.

Curtis Cooper was scratching his head. He clicked the reply button, a dialog box popped up, and then...

He found that he couldn't type, because the keyboard was broken by him just now, and he had never regretted his reckless behavior so strongly before.

He could only keep refreshing the post, hoping that someone would quickly build the last two floors like him.

Fortunately, other water friends lived up to his expectations, and soon the post was replied to the 500th floor.

The next moment, 501 appears.

[Hello everyone, I’m back after dinner!I didn’t expect everyone’s enthusiasm to be so high! 】

Curtis Cooper looked at the time. It's three o'clock in the afternoon. What the hell are you eating at this time?

If you don’t reveal the answer, I’ll ask you to go to jail!Sue your brother for fraud!
[Well, it’s finally time to reveal the final answer! 】

[I have found this Xia State Dongshan University Mathematics Research Center through my friends in Xia State and confirmed one thing. 】

[That is the Mathematics Research Center of Dongshan University. There is only one person named Mo Lin! 】

[As for this person, if I were to name him, you would probably all know him. Even if you don’t know him, you should have heard his name! 】

Curtis Cooper is on the verge of being furious. What this man is talking about in the back and forth is all nonsense, and there is no useful word at all. I shouldn’t believe him, and I shouldn’t believe that he can reveal his true identity. !

Curtis-Cooper picked up his phone and pressed the 911 number.

[Don’t worry, I haven’t finished speaking yet! 】

[Okay, now I will reveal the true identity of this person to everyone. I have confirmed it. This mo lin is that mo lin! 】

[It’s the mo lin who solved the NS problem and published a paper in the latest special issue of Acta Mathematica! 】

It's him?

If it were him, then this wouldn't be outrageous, and it would make sense. After all, he can even solve NS equations, so he can easily grasp the Mersenne prime number algorithm.

Curtis Cooper didn't even bother calling 911 to sue the poster for fraud.

He just wanted to call Lin Mo right now.

But when he picked up the phone, he was a little confused. He didn't have Lin Mo's contact information!

fall!
Curtis Cooper hurriedly called acquaintances and asked them if they had Lin Mo’s phone number.

the other side.

"Hello? Moses Moses, hello..."

Zhang Qihua had just gotten off the plane. He had just returned from Donghai. He was currently in a taxi returning to Dongshan University from the airport, answering the phone blankly.

"Looking for Lin Mo? Lin Mo..."

Zhang Qihua looked at the time and then remembered that Lin Mo should be in class at this time. During class, in order to avoid being disturbed, Lin Mo did not bring his mobile phone. In fact, most of the time, Lin Mo left his mobile phone behind in the math class. The research center only picks up the phone after dinner every day to see if there are any important calls.

For this reason, Zhang Qihua and Tian Fangyi told him more than once to ask him to bring his mobile phone so that he would not be unable to find others at critical moments.

Although Lin Mo agreed verbally, in fact he still went his own way.

Shan Gang even teased him about this, saying he might as well install a landline phone for Lin Mo. A mobile phone was redundant for him.

"New Mersenne primes?"

Zhang Qihua was confused. Is Lin Mo doing new research?
Along the way, Zhang Qihua kept answering the phone without stopping. This reminded him of the two sleepless days when he was manipulated by the phone when the special issue of Acta Mathematica was just published.

Zhang Qihua roughly learned something about the situation on the phone, probably Lin Mo had made some amazing achievements in Mersenne prime numbers.Zhang Qihua simply turned off his cell phone first, preparing to wait until he returned to school to learn the whole story.

When he arrived at Dongshan University, Zhang Qihua rushed into the office of the Mathematics Research Center immediately.

Lin Mo was not there, so he had obviously gone to class, and Shan Gang was not here, so he had obviously gone to class. Of course, the class between two people was not the same class.

Zhang Qihua turned around and only saw Jiang Fanjun, who was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Zhang Qihua frowned. What time is this? Teacher Jiang is still sleeping.

"Mr. Jiang, wake up! Teacher Jiang, wake up!"

Zhang Qihua stepped forward and pushed Jiang Fanjun awake.

"Well……"

Jiang Fanjun opened his eyes in confusion and couldn't help but stretch when he saw it was Zhang Qihua.

"Teacher Zhang, you are back."

Looking at Jiang Fanjun, who was unshaven, sleepy-eyed, and with hair as messy as a chicken coop on his head, Zhang Qihua couldn't help but think of the time when he first met Jiang Fanjun at the World Congress of Mathematicians. Jiang Fanjun was not like this at that time. Sunny and cheerful, kind and talkative, there was no way he could relate to the man in front of him who looked like a homeless man.

"Teacher Jiang, you discovered a new Mersenne prime number? What exactly happened? My phone has been buzzing!"

"You said this."

Jiang Fanjun stretched, got up from the bed, explained to Zhang Qihua, and walked towards the computer.

"Teacher Jiang, it's like this. Lin Mo studied a new algorithm for calculating Mersenne prime numbers. Then we used this algorithm to calculate and verify Mersenne prime numbers. By luck, we discovered two new Mersenne prime numbers."

"two?"

Zhang Qihua was a little confused. He remembered that on the phone just now, those people didn't seem to be talking about this number. They seemed to be talking about four...

"what?"

Jiang Fanjun, who was sitting in front of the computer, let out a sigh.

"What's the matter, Teacher Jiang?"

"Haha, it's amazing, it's amazing, it's Lin Mo!"

Jiang Fanjun suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.

"What happened? Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Fanjun made Zhang Qihua laugh inexplicably and was confused.

"Look here, Teacher Zhang."

Jiang Fanjun pushed the screen toward Zhang Qihua and pointed at the numbers on it.

"Last night, Lin Mo optimized the algorithm again. I wrote the code overnight and then hung it on the server. Unexpectedly..."

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that!"

Jiang Fanjun laughed so hard.

"This efficiency is exactly what Lin Mo said. It has improved a lot all of a sudden. You see, I found 3 new Mersenne primes in just the time it took me to sleep!"

"Calculate 3 more? Does that mean you have found 5 new Mersenne primes?"

Zhang Qihua looked incredulous.

He naturally knew how difficult it was to find new Mersenne primes, but who would have thought that in just a few days, Lin Mo and Jiang Fanjun would have found 5 new Mersenne primes. No wonder his phone was being called all the time. !
