Chapter 439 This is not something in three-dimensional space at all

"I can't believe that prime numbers can be observed through this form similar to matter. What I need to do next is how to describe this special form."

Being able to feel its existence and being able to describe it are two completely different concepts, but Ning Chen must try to complete this matter in the shortest possible time.

Ning Chen knew clearly that this special state of being able to directly observe the existence of prime numbers would probably not last for a long time. However, if he wanted to wait until this state was over and then go back to describe the prime numbers, it would be very difficult. Probability no longer describes it accurately.

It's like having another dream, waking up and recording all the details of the dream. It's difficult to remember all the details of the dream.

Ning Chen exhausted all his abilities and tried to describe the prime numbers in his mind, but he was still unable to record such an existence in a very vivid way.

Until time passed quietly and unknowingly, Ning Chen finally could no longer see the existence of such prime numbers, and had to end this special state.

At this moment, Ning Chen felt very regretful in his heart, because this state was elusive. Although Ning Chen successfully entered it this time, he wanted to enter the same state again. He didn't know how many times he tried. Only then can we succeed.

It is even possible that he will never be able to enter the same situation again. Until now, Ning Chen has not figured out how he did this.

"Hey... what a pity. Just now I still couldn't record the existence of such prime numbers."

Ning Chen just tried to record this existence through mathematical language, formulas, or other descriptive methods, but in the end these attempts ended in failure.

But just when Ning Chen felt melancholy about this, Ning Chen suddenly had a new turning point about this matter.

When Ning Chen was trying to describe the existence of this kind of prime number before, Ning Chen had already memorized all the details of this special existence, and now when Ning Chen recalls these, he still remembers them very clearly.

Ning Chen even felt that the special existence of this prime number still remained in his mind at this time, just like the things that had appeared in Ning Chen's dreams also appeared in the real world.

"This... what kind of existence is this? Why can I feel it but can't describe it overall?"

Ning Chen knew that as long as it is a substance in a three-dimensional space, whether it is in a microscopic or macroscopic state, no matter how bizarre it is, it can always be described through a simulation model.

"Unless... this is not a substance at all!" Ning Chen sighed in his heart.

Before this, Ning Chen had never associated prime numbers with matter, because in Ning Chen's philosophy, there was no relationship between the two.

But since Ning Chen can feel the existence of this prime number, Ning Chen cannot deny that it is a kind of substance.

"Wait a minute... Could it be that the problem is not in the 'matter', but in... the 'three-dimensional space'?"

After thinking of this, Ning Chen couldn't help but think deeply again.

In human habitual cognition, three-dimensional space has always been the space we use by default, because apart from three-dimensional space, we do not directly observe other dimensions of space.

If it is a low-dimensional space, it is very easy to describe, but this is only a simplification of the three-dimensional space and will not be of much help in studying more complex problems.

As for higher-dimensional space, people can only try their best to describe it through imagination, but no one can be sure whether these descriptions are really correct.

"Could it be that...these so-called prime numbers are not matter in three-dimensional space, but matter in four-dimensional space or even higher-dimensional space?"

During the period just now, Ning Chen's state was actually a bit chaotic, and he was not sure whether what he saw was matter in a normal three-dimensional space.

Thinking of this possibility, Ning Chen felt a little disappointed, knowing that this was still a key clue that could solve Goldbach's conjecture.

The next day, Ning Chen came to his office as usual and continued their previous work with Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun.

Last night, after the three of them finished their work, they went back and thought about the problems they encountered yesterday. Although they did not get a complete solution to these problems, at least they did not give up hope of solving the problems.

"Academician Ning, have you thought of any good method?" Tao Zhexuan asked Ning Chen.

Faced with Tao Zhexuan's question, Ning Chen did not immediately give a positive or negative answer. After being silent for a few seconds, he slowly said:

"I can't say I found any good method, but I had a dream yesterday. In this dream, I felt the real existence of prime numbers..."

Ning Chen did not tell them directly that he entered a very magical state last night, but this state was indeed very similar to a dream, and there was no problem describing it as a "dream".

Listening to Ning Chen's description, both Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun showed very unbelievable expressions, and some couldn't believe what Ning Chen meant.

"Academician Ning, are you saying...that you directly felt the objective existence of prime numbers in your dream?"

"Yes, you can indeed say that. Until now, I can remember every detail of its existence, but I still can't describe it to you. This state is really difficult to describe, hey, I can't either I know what to say.”

Although Ning Chen is not a talkative person, his language skills are still very strong. Even in many large places, Ning Chen can speak freely, and there is no problem with his language expression ability.

But there is such a thing that Ning Chen doesn't know how to describe. This is enough to show how strange such a thing is.

"Ning Chen, can you describe some of its details? It only needs a partial description." Song Xiyun said. After hearing Song Xiyun's question, Ning Chen felt the "prime number" that still existed in his mind and tried to describe it in some details.

After hearing these descriptive words from Ning Chen, both Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun felt a little familiar, as if they had both dreamed of similar things.

"Hey, Ning Chen, do you think this so-called 'prime number substance' is a substance that exists in high-dimensional space?"

Ning Chen didn't expect that Song Xiyun could think of him together. He nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, Song Xiyun, I have thought of such a possibility before. It's just that we don't have any knowledge about this high-dimensional concept. Even if we think of such a possibility, there is no way to prove whether it is correct."

"Academician Ning, I just recalled that I seemed to have had a similar dream before. In the dream, I dreamed of some chaotic state that was similar to mathematics but not mathematics. It was similar to your dream last night. I I think we can really try in this direction, and maybe we can really find some new breakthroughs. ”

Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun studied together and felt that they could try this idea, so they immediately started their new day's work.

This time, the three of them are still connected in the state of the brain's biological computer, but the problem of thinking has become how to objectively describe the existence of prime numbers in space.

Ning Chen is still the core of this brain biological computer architecture, communicating with Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun in real time through biological programs.

"Professor Tao, Song Xiyun, we are now trying to add a dimension to describe prime numbers on the original basis. This description method is to verify whether this kind of existence is really an existence in a four-dimensional space... "

After listening to Ning Chen's order, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun immediately followed suit.

In fact, this method of trying is still very uncertain. No one has ever conducted similar research before, and Ning Chen and the others don't know whether this direction of thinking is really correct, and even if it is correct, I don’t know whether this exists in a four-dimensional space or a higher-dimensional space.

But no matter what the final real result is, they will continue to conduct research until they get a result that satisfies them.

At the beginning, the research by Ning Chen and the others went very unsmoothly, because this description was too abstract, and it was difficult for Ning Chen and the others to find the starting point for the description.

However, they did not give up because of these difficulties. Instead, they continued to communicate, summarize, and try to study some more appropriate methods.

Because such a substance has always existed in Ning Chen's mind, this allows them to compare the model with it anytime and anywhere to verify the accuracy of the model.

Finally, after hundreds of attempts, Ning Chen, Tao Zhexuan, and Song Xiyun have successfully found their footing, and the description of prime numbers in high-dimensional space has gradually become clearer.

"Now it seems that we are probably going in the right direction. The simulation degree of the model we have made has gradually come close to what the prime numbers look like in my mind..."

Although Ning Chen is still not sure whether this so-called "prime number" exists in a four-dimensional space or a higher-dimensional space, as long as they can make even a little progress, this is a thing worth letting them Go for things that make you happy.

After working like this for a week, Ning Chen was very satisfied with the model in the "four-dimensional" space they constructed.

"According to my estimation, the similarity between this model and the prime numbers that exist in my mind is almost 80%. As long as we continue to work in this direction, we may be able to complete a major breakthrough soon!"

Ning Chen's assessment is relatively objective, because the similarity between the two is indeed very high, both in terms of the whole and the details. If you don't distinguish carefully, it will be difficult to find the difference between the two. difference between.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun were also very excited, knowing that they were close to breaking through this bottleneck and really saw hope.

However, Ning Chen would not continue to conduct research unchanged. Instead, he carefully evaluated the current situation and made some fine-tuning of the subsequent research content so that their research could proceed more smoothly.

The reason why Ning Chen was confident in their research was that in addition to his own research progress, Xiaozhi also gave very positive feedback.

Since they shifted their research direction to describing the existence of prime numbers in four-dimensional space, Xiaozhi's assessment of the progress of the entire research has been moving forward. This means that even if they are not directly conducting research on Gothic, The work of proving Bach's conjecture, but the accurate description of prime numbers is still extremely important in helping this work.

The subsequent research was not as smooth as expected, but after ten days of continuous work, Ning Chen and the others finally completed the construction of the entire prime number four-dimensional space model.

After seeing that the two were completely consistent, Ning Chen was extremely excited. Ning Chen had never thought before that he could successfully describe what existed in the four-dimensional space in the three-dimensional space.

Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun were as excited as Ning Chen. The breakthrough achieved in this work meant that they could continue to attack Goldbach's conjecture.

"Professor Tao, Song Xiyun, our work has been very hard during this period. I plan to give us a short rest before continuing to start new work. What do you two think?"

After hearing Ning Chen's words, Tao Zhexuan and Song Xiyun looked at each other, but both laughed.

Ning Chen was a little overwhelmed by such a scene, and quickly said in confusion:
"What... do you mean?"

"Ning Chen, do you think you need to rest now?" Song Xiyun asked.

"I'm okay, it mainly depends on your physical condition." Ning Chen replied.

The current Ning Chen is naturally far from reaching the physical limit. Ning Chen has experienced research experiences much more intense than this before. The current intensity is naturally nothing to Ning Chen.

It's just that Ning Chen can't ask others for his own requirements, especially Tao Zhexuan. Tao Zhexuan's physical fitness is not that outstanding. Ning Chen doesn't want to let Tao Zhexuan suffer because of the heavy workload these days. There is a problem with your body.
