My Prime Minister is so cute

......

Although for the four people present, the so-called seven major problems are far away.

However, for a relaxing afternoon tea, such an interesting topic is obviously very suitable. Not only the district mayor, but Bird also listened with great interest, occasionally interrupting to ask a question or two.

At the same time, he also thought about the reward he had just received from the resignation system.

[Name: One-time Inspiration Card (Low Level)]

[Effect: Used on any person, can make them solve a difficult problem within the limit (if it exceeds the limit, only a partial answer will be given)]

Inspiration cards, not answer generation cards.

I have some understanding and mastery of the relevant fields, but I just don't have the means to combine them. It's impossible to use it on the district chief and suddenly become a genius and solve the seven magic conjectures. It's simply unrealistic.

Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.

That 1% of inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% of sweat.

This inspiration card is that 1% of inspiration. However, no matter how important inspiration is, it must be accompanied by 99% of sweat before it can take effect.

Besides, this is just a (low-level) inspiration card. Even if there really is an academician in front of him, Bird would not be able to solve the seven magic conjectures that sound outrageous - basic research has not kept up at all.

After afternoon tea.

Sarah went back to her room to finish her manuscript, the district chief went to the kitchen to discuss what to eat tonight, and Sophia also prepared to go back to her room to improve her paper and send it back to Professor Baird.

Bird stopped her in advance.

"Are you free now?" he asked.

"I'm free."

Sophia blinked and smiled softly, "Bird, if you want to see me, I'm always available."

Just as I said during that evening walk.

Since they are going to be each other's bootlickers, they should be available at any time and be able to make time for it no matter when.

"Ahem, stop it, be normal."

Bird interrupted, "It's not urgent. If you really have something to do, you can go ahead and do it first."

This kind of selfless devotion to each other sounds very touching, but it is a very unhealthy state of relationship. For two rational people, it is just a joke.

"I'm really not in a rush right now."

Sophia put away her expression and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Something about your thesis." Bird returned to the topic. "I want to ask, have you considered challenging a slightly more difficult magic conjecture recently?"

"You're not going to mention... the Seven Magical Conjectures, are you?"

Sophia joked, after all, they had just talked about that during afternoon tea.

"How is that possible? That's not something a magician today can solve." Bird smiled softly and shook his head. "I mean, it's a slightly more difficult magic conjecture."

The most difficult conjecture is naturally the seven magic conjectures.

But further down, there are also many mathematical conjectures that are not well-known, but can indeed solve many problems and promote further developments in the field of magic. They can also be sorted in order of difficulty.

For example, the weak first-level conjecture after the conditions of the seven difficult problems are reduced is in the second tier of conjecture difficulty.

Although the problems at this level were still unattainable, they at least provided a direction for research. Occasionally, a master would prove one or two, earning undisputed admission to the National Royal Academy of Magical Sciences and becoming a member.

The third tier below is a more popular field.

The main focus of magical research lies within this area. Every conjecture or problem is a challenge requiring painstaking effort and complex experimentation, requiring both perseverance and inspiration. This is the work that master mages devote their primary energy to, personally overseeing.

Every problem solved is a cause for celebration and discussion, and a testament to the honor of a Master Mage. The more problems you solve, the higher your status becomes, and the more funding you can apply for.

The fourth tier, the field with the largest number.

Generally, research is conducted by less famous magicians or graduate students of master magicians. In addition to focusing their main energy on the third-tier work, the masters will occasionally take the time to make a guess about the difficulty of the fourth-tier.

Just like a diligent worker, it is a little difficult to become rich and famous, but if you can produce some small results, there will be no problem in coping with the assessment of the Magic Association and continuing to receive funding.

The fifth tier, except for the academic garbage that cannot be passed, basically belongs to this field.

This includes some papers published for the sake of publication, as well as some real-world applications of magic. The paper that Sophia has already published and is currently perfecting belongs to this level of difficulty.

What Bird meant by a little harder.

This naturally refers to the speculation about the third and fourth echelons.

After all, Sophia is basically the only one working in the field of magic motors. It is too easy for her to write a few papers of fifth-tier difficulty. It is not a challenge at all. She can even use the papers to lure graduate magicians to work for her.

It's a bit watery, but at least I can graduate, right?

If one wants to increase Sophia's influence in the magic world, relying solely on such a watery paper is far from enough.

Chapter 170 I have a way to stimulate inspiration

"Doing research in more difficult areas?"

Sophia lowered her head and fell into thought.

Although she also has a lot of research interests related to pure theory.

However, considering the existence of the Nader Institute and its help to Bird's current career, Sophia has basically not conducted in-depth research.

She is currently more focused on improving the magic motor and deriving algorithms related to electrical magic arrays.

Although Bird did not require her to do research in any field, and the so-called assessments were just casual talk, she also received a large amount of dividends from the products sold.

But when two people are together, it is impossible for one party to give unconditionally.

It would definitely not be enough for Bird to unilaterally provide her with a favorable environment.

Sophia also planned to provide her help to the best of her ability, and only consider engaging in her own research after the magic motor was improved to the point where it could be used as widely as the magic wind machine.

After thinking this through, Sophia shook her head and said, "I don't have any plans in this regard for now."

When Bird heard this, he was a little troubled.

Inspiration card, how can it inspire you if there is no research at all?

Although it can also be used to simplify the magic motor, not to mention that it is a bit wasteful, the main problem restricting the magic motor now is the lack of a large number of practical electrical equipment. The magic motor is completely sufficient to be used as a large generator.

"Really not?"

Bird asked persistently, "Do you want to think about it again? Is there a conjecture that you've thoroughly researched, halfway through research, and repeatedly tried many solutions to, but then abandoned because your ideas got stuck?"

"Isn't that generally the case?"

"Even if you say so, I have indeed been researching magic electric machines recently..."

Sophia showed a distressed expression.

But then she froze for a moment, thought about it, and said uncertainly: "Wait a minute, it seems there really is one?"

During those few years when I was stuck as a high-level magician.

Although Sophia was very lazy and just wrote store exploration guides every day, she actually secretly studied one or two hypotheses.

However, no matter how talented one is, without sufficient knowledge and experience accumulation and funding for experiments, and if one does not even dare to ask for advice from his supervisor, he will naturally not be able to produce any results.

The conjecture she was mainly studying at the time was called the Hermann conjecture, which is the distribution law of multi-path magic prime numbers.

The difficulty level is between level 4 and level 3.

After all, Sophia was quite arrogant at the time and felt that the 4th-level conjecture was not worthy of her, but she did not have the funds and conditions to carry out the 3rd-level conjecture. In the end, she had to settle for the second best and chose the 3.5-level difficulty.

Level 3.5 refers to those conjectures that have a theoretical difficulty level of level 3 but do not require too much time and money to prove.

The general content of this Hermann conjecture is the study of prime numbers.

In order to improve the efficiency of magic power transmission in the magic circle, multiple magic channels are indispensable, but in order to prevent collusion between these channels, corresponding prime numbers need to be constructed.

Prime numbers are not divisible by 1 or any other number, so using prime numbers when building can prevent the connection between multiple magic channels.

The magic world has never lacked research on prime numbers. After all, as the size of magic circles increases, there are hundreds or even thousands of magic pathways, plus the connection between different magic circles, so the prime numbers needed are naturally carefully selected.

Besides magical pathways, prime numbers also have other uses, so research on prime numbers is very common.

After listening to Sophia's description.

Bird's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Ahem, Sophia, why don't we study the Hermann conjecture later?"

As he spoke, he had already activated the aura of a leader who lowered his intelligence.

After all, the inspiration card is really hard to explain, and Sophia is not as easy to fool as Avril, so it’s better to just lower her IQ.

"why?"

Sophia frowned, puzzled. "Is there something special about the Hermann conjecture? Why study it?"

Nothing special actually.

The main purpose of using this inspiration card is to use it. It would be a waste not to use it.

Bird thought about it and felt that he should lower his IQ before explaining, so he bent down, picked up Sophia's light body, and carried her to sit on the sofa.

"ah--"

Sophia was startled and huddled in Bird's arms, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Work required."

Bird reached out and took off her little leather shoes, grabbed the foot in black stockings, and then said seriously: "Sophina, I have never felt happy playing with (Mary's) feet, never."

Sophia: “???”

Why are we talking about this all of a sudden?

[Sophina IQ -1]

However, as a dedicated researcher, one of Bird's daily tasks is to massage feet, so Sophia was not too averse to this sudden act.

Just don't lick it with your tongue, that's unhygienic.

Followed by.

Bird reached out again and caressed the delicate skin between the black stockings and the hem of the skirt. He shook his head and sighed, "White and tender thighs like these are not good at all. (Pork thighs) are actually better when they are a little rougher."

Sophia glanced at his dirty hands and said helplessly, "Yeah, it's not nice to touch at all."

[Sophina IQ -1]

.......

Holding her in his arms, kissing and nibbling her, coupled with some lies, finally lowered Sophia's IQ.

"Ahem, Sophia, let's talk about the Hermann conjecture." Bird started talking about business. "How about spending some time on it later?"

"But I want to study the magic generator now."

Sophia asked in confusion, "The Hermann conjecture can't be figured out overnight. Even if everything goes well, it will take several years."

"It's okay. It won't take too long." Bird said confidently. "Based on what you just said, this Hercules conjecture is basically a purely theoretical conjecture, right? As long as inspiration comes, it can be solved quickly, right?"

"Besides, you're not content to be just a high-level magician, are you? Don't you want to conduct higher-level research, publish more papers, and prove your strength?"

"Don't you want to enter the Royal National Academy of Magic? Become a respected academician-level magician?"

"That's what I said."

Although Sophia was a little moved after hearing this, she still shook her head and said, "But inspiration needs to be tried one by one, it won't just appear out of thin air..."

Sorry, this really came out of nowhere.

Bird glanced at the inspiration card and repeated his old phrase: "Don't worry, I have a way to stimulate inspiration...

Chapter 171 Who still has the energy to do research?

"Bird, is this all right?"

"Well, that's fine."

"...But why do I feel like this is just a normal hug?"

In the study room.

Bird sat in the large office chair at the desk, with the petite Sophia in his arms. In front of him were some necessary information for the strategy and guesswork, as well as plenty of draft paper.

Although I was surrounded by Bird's aura, I did feel a sense of security.

But no matter how you think about it, this has nothing to do with inspiring inspiration. It's just a simple hug between two people.
