Reborn mosquito, wreaking havoc on your life!

Chapter 45: American mathematicians are going crazy!

"What does that mosquito have to do with mathematicians?"

The American mathematicians and psychoanalysts present were all stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Tao, why do you say that?"

Marcia, president of the U.S. Academy of Sciences, asked immediately.

Tao pointed to the huge map of Asia hanging on the wall and said:
"This is a two-dimensional universe!

"The earth is a sphere. If you cut the sphere in half, you can get a number of petal-shaped planes, and the map of China is on one of the petal-shaped planes.

“There are four points on the flat map: Shanghai, Harbin, Kunshan, and Sun Island.

"Modu is the starting point, and Kunshan is the closest point to Modu. These two points can be connected to form a straight line. With this 73-kilometer straight line as the diameter, draw a circle on the plane. Use this circle to represent the earth.

"Similarly, the point closest to Harbin is Sun Island. The two points are connected, and with this 20-kilometer straight line as the diameter, a circle can be drawn on the plane. Use this circle to represent the moon.

"Using a ruler, we can measure the shortest distance between the two circles, which is 2211 kilometers. This distance represents the distance between the earth and the moon.

"In reality, the diameter of the Earth is 12742 kilometers, the diameter of the Moon is 3476 kilometers, and the distance between the Earth and the Moon measured by the weather station in January this year was 370241 kilometers.

"In a two-dimensional plane, Earth's diameter: Moon's diameter: Earth-Moon distance = 3.66:1:110.58
"In reality, let's take January as an example. Earth diameter: Moon diameter: Earth-Moon distance = 3.66:1:106.5
"You will find that the ratio does not match, that is because the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not fixed. As the Earth and the Moon move, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is constantly changing.

“The diameter of the Earth in reality is 174.5 times the diameter of the Earth represented on the plane.

"So we can calculate that the distance between the Earth and the Moon of 2211 kilometers on a plane represents the distance between the Earth and the Moon of 2211×174.5=385819 kilometers in reality.

“This year the distance between the Earth and the Moon is increasing. 385819 kilometers has not appeared before, and it represents a certain point in the future.

"At that time, the distance between the Earth and the Moon was exactly 385819 kilometers.

"And this specific time is extremely difficult to calculate. Because the earth is moving, the moon is also moving, and the distance between the two changes, and the magnitude of the universal gravitation between them will also change accordingly.

“This is an extremely large amount of calculation!”

After Terence Tao finished speaking, there was a commotion.

The mathematicians suddenly had an epiphany!
So that’s it!
A two-dimensional universe!
That mosquito actually compressed the three-dimensional universe onto a plane. How amazing is that?

No wonder they couldn't find any clues after three hours of busy calculations.

If it wasn’t for Terence Tao, who could have thought of this?

All the mathematicians present were full of admiration.

Even Marcia, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, wants to kowtow to Terence Tao:
"Tao! You are so smart! You solved the problem that had us stumped for hours in just ten minutes!"

"Do not."

Tao Zhexuan shook his head, took off his heavy framed glasses, and said seriously:
“I just understand the idea of ​​solving the problem, but I haven’t calculated the final result yet.

“This question is absolutely insane!
"We have the moon and the earth on the plane, but what is the most important thing missing?
"sun!
"The prerequisite for the distance between the Earth and the Moon to reach exactly 385819 kilometers is the existence of the Sun!
"Without the sun's gravitational field, everything in the solar system would fall apart.

"Then the question is, the distance between the earth and the sun is incredibly long.

"Take January as an example. In reality, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is more than 174.5 million kilometers. This value divided by 85 is the distance between the Earth and the Sun on a plane, which is calculated to be more than kilometers.

"But the circumference of the Earth is only 4 kilometers! You will find that it cannot fit in the plane of the Earth!

"It's only 4 kilometers around the Earth, but the distance between the Earth and the Sun is more than 85 kilometers.

"So, you have to go around in circles! Just like wrapping a string around a soccer ball, you go around and around, and when you reach the end of the string, it will stop at a certain point on the ball."

After Tao finished speaking, the scene was silent, and the mathematicians looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one expected that this question would be so difficult.

The calculation is divided into three steps.

1. First, based on the distance between the Earth and the Moon of 385819 kilometers, calculate which day in the future it is, even to the precise time and second.

2. Calculate the distance of the sun from the earth and the moon at that time to determine the position of the sun on the plane.

3. Fold the two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional sphere. The straight line between the earth and the sun, which is more than 85 kilometers away, circles around a sphere with a circumference of more than 4 kilometers and finally falls on a point on the sphere.

There are three steps of calculation, and the amount of calculation in each step is huge!

If there is a mistake in calculating a number in the front, all the subsequent calculation steps must be started over again.

"Wardfa! Is this something that a capable person can calculate?"

One mathematician felt like he was going crazy:
“How can a mosquito calculate the movement of celestial bodies?”

Tao took a deep breath and said sadly:
"So, I see the shadow of Newton! Throughout the history of world mathematics, I can only think of three people who can independently calculate this result."

"Which three?"

"Newton, Gauss, Euler."

The scene was completely silent!
Dean Marcia's mouth twitched.

Newton, Gauss, and Euler!
These three are all god-like figures in the world of mathematics. How can a tiny mosquito be compared with them?
Someone asked:
“Is the final calculated point the location where the red-eyed mosquito will appear next time?”

Tao shook his head and said:
"Not necessarily! It just tells everyone the answer is yes, but it doesn't say what's at that location. No one knows what will happen specifically."

Dean Marcia was silent for a few seconds, then said loudly:

"Everyone, now that we have an idea, let's hurry up and calculate and get the answer as soon as possible. The agents of the Intelligence Bureau are still waiting for us!"

Everyone nodded, and the U.S. Academy of Sciences assembled a large number of physicists to work intensively together with mathematicians.

And this calculation will be done five hours later.

It took more than a thousand physicists and mathematicians five hours of work and the use of supercomputers to complete the astronomical mathematical workload.

“地月距离385819公里时候，是2020年10月5号凌晨1点。太阳的那个点，位置在……华夏江右省的龙虎山？”

Terence Tao narrowed his eyes.

One o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, Longhu Mountain.

This is the final answer that the mosquito tells the world!
As for what's there, no one knows!
Just when everyone was happy about solving the problem.

Marcia, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, remained silent, feeling a chill.

The U.S. Academy of Sciences worked together and used supercomputers to calculate the answer.

But the mosquito figured it out on its own. What a terrifying computing power!
Could it be that after a genetic mutation, its intelligence has surpassed that of humans?

But it's just a mosquito!

Its body size is only one ten-thousandth of that of a human.

Marcia looked serious and said coldly:
"Everyone, we have to raise the danger level of this red-eyed mosquito! It seems to have wisdom that is not inferior to Newton and Gauss, the top mathematicians in the human race!"
