Chapter 75: The gap between people, the god-level boss, challenges Hilbert's mathematical problem?
"You two, I still need to work, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Wang Duoyu was too lazy to respond. He didn't even remember the other person's name. It wasn't because his memory was bad, but because he was too lazy to deal with the other person.

Because when Director Feng was introducing them just now, the expressions of the two of them were very strange.

As soon as Director Feng left, they revealed their true colors, which made Wang Duoyu even more unhappy.

So he picked up a pen and paper and started calculating.

The question given by Lao Feng is not simple, because it involves the theoretical knowledge of quantum mechanics in the field of high-energy physics.

Before the 1970s, through the efforts of physicists, quantum mechanics was able to well explain phenomena such as atomic structure, the regularity of atomic spectra, the properties of chemical elements, light absorption and radiation, etc.

"The Lorentz transformation is based on the existence of the ether. According to the principle of the constancy of the speed of light, the speed of light has the same value relative to any inertial reference frame. Therefore, x, y, z, and t are the coordinates and time in the inertial coordinate system S, respectively."

Wang Duoyu muttered something in a voice that only he could hear, but there was no movement after that.

The two people sitting opposite him looked at each other in surprise. They had never expected that Wang Duoyu knew so much.

As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move.

They saw Wang Duoyu skillfully use partial differential equations to derive and calculate the Lorentz transformation, and use Maxwell's equations to explain the changes in electric and magnetic fields, in order to verify the trajectory of particle motion in the question and deduce the final answer.

In fact, these are the simplest basic theories in high-energy physics, but it is 1978 now, and many people may not have been exposed to relevant theoretical knowledge, let alone using this knowledge to solve practical problems in high-energy physics.

You have to know that in the past decade or so, it has been difficult for many people to access a lot of advanced knowledge, and many foreign journals are almost impossible to enter China.

Even if they get in, only a small group of people can have secret access.

If the two researchers from the Computing Center had not been working at the forefront of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they would have had no chance to come into contact with this cutting-edge science.

But Wang Duoyu is an ordinary student from Northeast China. Although he is a mathematical genius, this is a mathematical physics problem related to high-energy physics. How did he know it?

No matter how he knew it, Wang Duoyu successfully solved the problem in less than half an hour.

Then he put down his pen and went to find Director Feng with the manuscript paper.

However, after searching the entire computing center, Director Feng was nowhere to be found.

After asking around, he found out that he had gone to the mathematics institute next door, so Wang Duoyu went back.

When I returned to the Institute of Mathematics, Tao Fangqi was debating with Feng Kang, and no one knew what they were arguing about.

"Director Feng, I figured it out."

In the office, Wang Duoyu pushed the door open and just finished speaking when he saw Tao Fangqi, Feng Kang, and Tian Shouzhong all staring at him without blinking for more than ten seconds. He couldn't help but wonder:
"Is there something on my face?"

"No, Xiao Wang, have you solved it? Come on, show it to me." Feng Kang was the first to react. He hurriedly stepped forward to take the manuscript papers and looked down at them.

Tao Fangqi asked excitedly, "Duoyu, how long did it take you to complete the calculation task just now?"

Tian Shouzhong subconsciously glanced at the wall clock, which showed exactly 11:45, meaning that exactly an hour and a half had passed since he entered. If nothing unexpected had happened, Wang Duoyu must have spent more than 40 minutes, but Tian Shouzhong couldn't be sure if it was an hour.

Since Wang Duoyu actually ran to the computing center next door to complete the task assigned by Director Feng, it must have taken at least half an hour, right?

Wang Duoyu glanced at Tian Shouzhong, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and said:

"Professor Tao, I didn't notice the time. Oh, right, was my calculation correct?"

"That's right. Not only is it correct, but the proof and calculation method are also perfect. It's totally unexpected, you know? I didn't expect you to have such a fantastic idea. You have mastered spatial geometry and topology, and you explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way."

Tao Fangqi did not hesitate to praise, and his lavish words made Tian Shouzhong, who was standing beside him, lower his head sadly.

The gap between ordinary people and geniuses is even greater than the gap between humans and pigs. Tian Shouzhong considered himself a mathematical genius, but after entering the Institute of Mathematics, he downgraded himself to an ordinary person.

Now that he had been dealt such a blow by Wang Duoyu, he felt that he had really lived like a pig in the past years.

Wang Duoyu was in a good mood after being praised by Professor Tao. He was humble for a moment and then changed the subject.

At this moment, Feng Kang suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, Xiao Wang, you're really amazing! You shouldn't be staying in the mathematics department. You should study high-energy physics."

As soon as Wang Duoyu said this, Tao Fangqi said angrily:

"Old Feng, get out of here! I was just wondering why you were so polite. It seems you were planning to take advantage of Xiao Wang. When Old Lu came to ask for money before, you were even more ruthless. You almost killed him without my permission."

"Humph, when I said Xiao Wang was a math genius before, you all told me to give up, and now you're trying to snatch him from me. You guys are so quick to change your attitude and so shameless!"

Feng Kang almost lost face after being confronted like this. He opened his mouth but said nothing.

Tian Shouzhong has become withdrawn. Looking at Wang Duoyu, who is being fought over by two professors but remains calm and composed, he now wishes he could dig a hole and bury himself.

Fortunately, he did not take the initiative to ridicule and mock Wang Duoyu just now, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed now.

After a while of arguing, Feng Kang was driven away, Tian Shouzhong was also sent away, and Tao Fangqi took Wang Duoyu out to eat.

After lunch, not long after Wang Duoyu and Tao Fangqi returned, Hua Luogeng returned to the office.

Finally, he met the legendary big boss among big bosses, a big boss-level figure who was rumored to be so powerful. After being slightly excited, Wang Duoyu quickly calmed down.

After losing the halo of being a myth, Hua Luogeng is now just a 68-year-old old man, but he is in good spirits.

To be honest, if Hua Luogeng had not suffered three myocardial infarctions, he would most likely have lived to be 90 years old. After all, Duan Xuefu, the head of the Department of Mathematics at Peking University, had rectal cancer and lived to be 91 years old.

After communicating with the god-level boss for most of the afternoon, Wang Duoyu gained a lot. Although the other party's thinking is far inferior to his due to his age, the fact that he can still maintain such thinking at this age is something that many people can't achieve.

"Xiao Wang, you've learned a lot, but it's even deeper than I thought. Do you have any thoughts on challenging Hilbert's prime number problem?"
