Scholar's Advanced Technological System Chapter 1117 – I Will Prove It Here

Chapter 1117 I Will Prove It Here

The entrance of Jin Ling University.

An old man looked at the young faces in the crowded streets. He suddenly sighed.

“This place has changed a lot.”

This man was none other than… Qiu Chengtong, a tenured professor at Harvard, the founder of the Shuimu University mathematics center.

The person standing next to him was Xiang Huanan from the Academy of Science.

Even though he didn’t come here often, because he resided in China, he often heard about Jin Ling University.

When he heard Old Qiu’s voice, he smiled and spoke.

“It has changed a lot. Five years ago, they were still competing with Aurora University for the top five. Now, they are almost at the top of the country. Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Academician Lu. Whenever I talk with my friends from Aurora University, they’re all jealous that they don’t have a scholar like Academician Lu from their university.

“Especially since Jin Ling University has been carrying out educational reforms over the past few years. It has been largely successful, thanks to Academician Lu’s support. When he first returned from Princeton, he created a talent training program for undergraduate students, and it has been adopted by universities around the country. Apparently, it’s going to be nationwide in the future.”

When Old Qiu heard Academician Xiang’s words, he smiled and said, “If you want education to advance, what we need is a top-down transformation. It’s not enough to rely on just a few great men or universities.”

Old Qiu paused for a second, smiled and said, “But I think we should look forward to the future.”

There were so many people devoting themselves to the great cause of education.

It wouldn’t take long for the Chinese education system to flourish.

Academician Xiang smiled and said, “Let’s stop waiting outside, I’m sure Old Xu is in a hurry.”

“You’re right.” Old Qiu nodded and looked at Academician Xiang as he said, “You’ll have to introduce me to him, I don’t know him very well.”

Academician Xiang smiled and spoke.

“Don’t worry.

“He’s been looking forward to meeting you!”

…

Ever since Lu Zhou uploaded his paper to arXiv, the atmosphere of Jin Ling University had changed.

The entire world had their attention focused on Jin Ling University.

Suddenly, Jin University had become the mathematics center of the world. The mathematics and academic community had their eyes and ears turned to this report.

Principal Xu was extremely happy.

On one hand, he was busy preparing for the report conference; on the other hand, he was ecstatic at the reputation and influence this report would bring for Jin University.

Even though they had held similar reports before, but the sum of all of the previous reports still wouldn’t be as significant as this one.

As for the reason…

This was because this report wasn’t on solving mysteries left behind by historical figures, but rather, it was on redefining the future of mathematics, influencing the entire world.

The days quickly passed by, and soon, it was the report conference day.

Scholars from all over the world gathered at the Jin Ling University new campus auditorium.

Originally, this kind of report should be held in the old campus auditorium, which was more historic and memorable. However, the number of participants exceeded the capacity of the old auditorium, and thus, the venue was set to be at the new campus gymnasium.

Once all of the preparations were done, Lu Zhou walked on the stage wearing a suit.

He looked at the crowded venue and felt emotional.

Everyone from Jin Ling University professors to his old Princeton friends, they were all gathered here at this venue, waiting for him to speak.

Honestly, he couldn’t remember how many reports he had done before.

But this was undoubtedly the most important one.

This might be his final mathematics report ever…

He reached out and held the microphone.

The second he touched the microphone, the entire venue went silent.

No one was enforcing this.

No one told them to be quiet.

It was almost like they had reached a common understanding; all of them were waiting for Lu Zhou to speak.

Lu Zhou waited for a few seconds and cleared his throat before he made his opening remarks.

“Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to travel here from all over the world.

“I’d also like to thank Jin Ling University for arranging and preparing this report.

“Alright then, let’s dive right into it.”

Lu Zhou turned around and pressed his presentation laser pointer.

The PowerPoint changed to a slide containing the thesis abstract.

Lu Zhou looked at the empty whiteboard and picked up a marker. He began writing as he explained his Grand Unified Theory.

Everyone listened intently.

The people sitting near the back even took out their phones to zoom in on the whiteboard.

Time quickly passed by.

An hour had already gone by.

However, Lu Zhou was so immersed in the world of mathematics that he didn’t notice the clock was ticking.

Just like this, three hours went by. Lu Zhou’s arm and shoulder began to feel sore as he finally stopped writing.

Eight whiteboards were completely filled with writing.

Each whiteboard contained neatly written words and symbols…

“That’s the Grand Unified Theory theorem.”

When he heard a commotion in the crowd, he turned around and spoke in a calm voice.

“I’m sure that some of you have questions and doubts in your mind.

“This is just a summary of the paper. I will spend one hour at the end of the report to answer your questions.

“But now, I will demonstrate an application of the Grand Unified Theory.

“We say that the value of the theorem is its ability to solve problems and conjectures.

“Due to time constraints, I will only give one example.

“I hope you all watch closely.”

Lu Zhou turned around and picked up the marker again.

This time…

He wrote on the ninth whiteboard.

Qiu Chengtong was sitting in the crowd, and he was confused as to what Lu Zhou planned on doing.

Professor Faltings was the same. He watched Lu Zhou’s movements with a muddled look on his face.

However, their confusion didn’t last for long.

When Lu Zhou wrote down the first three words, their pupils suddenly shrank.

“Grothendieck’s standard conjectures?!”

Professor Deligne’s eyes were wide open, and he nearly stood up from his chair.

Grothendieck’s standard conjectures!

This is one of the most important propositions in algebraic geometry!

Even though it wasn’t a Millennium Prize Problem, nor was it in Hilbert’s 23 problems, it was actually more significant than them!

The reason why this wasn’t included in those great lists of problems was that most people thought this proposition couldn’t be solved in this century.

Professor Deligne and Faltings weren’t the only ones that were baffled. Almost all of the scholars were stunned by Lu Zhou.

What does he mean by applying the Grand Unified Theory?

Why did he write down Grothendieck’s standard conjectures?

What is he planning to do?

Maybe…

Everyone could guess what Lu Zhou was planning on doing.

However, almost everyone didn’t believe Lu Zhou could solve the problem.

Lu Zhou ignored the commotion in the venue. He casually wrote down the proposition that troubled the mathematics world for decades on the whiteboard.

[Every Motive should have a direct sum decomposition, the cohomology of all orders in the given space can be represented through a direct sum of this decomposition.]

His marker stopped.

As Lu Zhou turned to face the venue, he was as cool as a cucumber, as if this was nothing out of the ordinary.

“I’m sure anyone in this field of research will be able to recognize this proposition.

“I will prove it.

“Right now.”

It was almost like Lu Zhou just dropped an atomic bomb on the mathematics community!
