Deep Space Planet Leader

Faced with the energetic and well-known old professor in front of him, Zhang Yuan felt a little nervous.

Don't talk about other miscellaneous titles. Just a title of "Academy Scholar" is enough to scare the ordinary person to death.

Academician!

Professor Wang’s main research direction is professional, that is, motivation theory, one of the most difficult subjects. Motive is a high-dimensional extension of Galois group theory, and was later accidentally discovered to have a mysterious connection with quantum field theory.

The research on the Langlands program and motive theory is the current two major mathematical mainstreams. The Langlands Program attempts to unify number theory, algebraic geometry, and groups, while the motive theory tries to unify discreteness and continuity.

They are called the front and back of a coin.

Mathematicians once predicted: "When human beings truly complete these two frameworks, the mathematics world will usher in a real unification. All mathematical problems can be solved by these two major theories."

It sounds bluff, but humans may never complete this step. The progress of the Langlands Program is still so-so. After hundreds of years of research, mankind has developed geometric Langlands, p-adic Langlands and so on. But regarding motive theory, because of its super high degree of abstraction, it has become the self-talk of some mathematicians, and it has become very difficult to comment on it, so the speed of development is also extremely slow.

There is no doubt that Wang Zhong is one of the top mathematicians. The structure of the hybrid motive was proposed by Professor Wang, which caused a huge sensation at the time.

I used to hear father mention his mentor, and his tone was full of respect, so Zhang Yuan stopped by to visit his elders, but he had no other thoughts.

He even brought a small gift, which is Donghua Ham, a local specialty of Donghua City. Although it looks a little weird now.

"Which university did you graduate from?"

"Z University." Zhang Yuan replied obediently and honestly.

"Z is big..." Wang Zhong frowns, slightly dissatisfied in his heart. Although Z University is ranked 3rd in Xia Country, it is still slightly worse than the top two. In the eyes of seniors like him, good students have to go to the first two schools...

"Are you also an aerospace volunteer?"

"Yes."

"Very good, inherited your father's ambition." Wang Zhong nodded, this is quite satisfactory.

If it were not for him to be older and unable to live for a few years, he must also be one of the 500,000 people to experience the life of interstellar travel.

"What are your plans in the future?" Professor Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"There are still 19 days of vacation. I am going to read books in the library for a while. After going to spaceship, I hope to find a tutor to complete my master's and academician studies..."

"Learning more knowledge is good. Which direction do you want to pursue?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan sorry laughed: "I like learning mathematics, but I want to restart a civilization A large number of practical talents are needed, so I still intend to engage in engineering research, such as informatics...well, mainly mathematics and space engineering."

Wang Zhong is a professor of science, and science despise engineering. Engineering despise liberal arts, this has always been the academic despise chain.

This is determined by the simplicity of the water thesis. It is relatively difficult to teach water thesis in science. No matter how innovative it is, isn’t it? As for the liberal arts, it’s not too easy to dissertate water. What film and television majors, acting majors, specialize in producing parallel academician......

When his father turned from mathematics to space mechanics, Wang Zhong also sent it I got a temper, thinking that the act of transferring to an engineering department was "too utilitarian."

Sure enough, Wang Zhong frowned again, and was silent for a while. But because it was the first conversation, the two were not familiar with each other, and he didn't make much remarks.

"Has the tutor been found?"

"Not yet, I will have to take a test after I joined the spaceship, I hope I can get a high score..." Zhang Yuan is very humble To say.

"..."

In Wang Zhong's eyes, he naturally wanted to get crooked.

"Earth Era" is just a big spaceship. Even with sufficient preparations, the resources and output in the spaceship are still limited. The crew's overwhelming majority time will be spent in hibernation.

To restart civilization in an unfamiliar planet, knowledge reserves and technical standards are the most important. Therefore, the various experts in spaceship, as it should be by rights, control more resources and have greater authority.

These well-known expert scholars have limited enrollment of students. Being their students, of course, has more benefits than ordinary skilled workers. Equivalent to is a kind of "backstage."

Now, it's as if Zhang Yuan knows that he can't get a high score and is begging him to open the back door, trying to find a good mentor through Wang Zhong.

His frowns asked: "What kind of mentor do you want?"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback, and said casually: "Of course the better, the best like my father. But that's it!"

Wang Zhong felt even more unhappy, and looked at the "Donghua Ham" on the table.

With his years of teaching experience, a person who wants to rely on his father to get through the back door, don’t think about it, he must be a scumbag!

If not, Wang Zhong will eat this ham alive!

Don’t look in the mirror to see what you are...

If you want the most powerful tutor, you must first think about whether you are worthy of it!

The way he looked at Zhang Yuan's eyes became a little uncomfortable.

……

Wang Zhong is not the kind of person who is not at all familiar with the world. He is proud of dísciple's son. Take a little care of him. In fact, he can't say what a major event is.

But when it comes to "Earth Era", it seems to touch his sensitive points, making him very anxious.

Because "Earth Era" is an independent society, once it is launched, Earth civilization can no longer interfere with it. Throw away those messy things, such as Dyson balls, supernovas and other external factors. There is actually another internal cause for this huge project.

It is the carnival of idealists on Earth!

A great social experiment!

When Professor Qi Yuanshan, the "father of nuclear fusion", established the "Deep Space Foundation", he also established a new school called the "New Civilization School."

The New Civilization School believes that the development of civilization is like biological evolution, which can only be repaired on the original basis, and there is no way to completely overthrow it and start over. As a result, the history, culture, and ideology that have occurred will have a profound impact on future development.

This kind of influence has good and bad, and it cannot be changed drastically by simple repair. Just like the growth of human beings, once the world outlook is finalized, it will be completely fixed.

Therefore, some old historical baggage will become a burden in development.

The New Civilization School once asked a question: Earth civilization has not been integrated to form a unified country, why?

The answer is simple.

First, human beings cannot give up their vested rights and interests. If several countries are unified with each other, the leaders of certain small countries will have to step down, and a large number of class interests will have to be redistributed. Those with vested interests are unwilling.

Take a simple example: At present, the track spacing of the whole world is not uniform.

Unifying the track spacing involves not only political factors, but also various economic issues. Replacement of old railroad tracks requires money. Who will pay for this part of the money?

Since no one wants to come out, so I can only drag it.

Just a "railway pitch", such a simple issue, I don't know how long it will be delayed, even more how other complicated interests.

Secondly, in history, the gap between countries is difficult to repair, ethnic hatred, and ethnic conflicts still exist today. After the third and fourth wars, except for the slightly better area of ​​East Asia, there are still new and old hatreds and small-scale frictions in other places. The poorer the place, the greater the conflict. .

In the foreseeable future, they are unlikely to disappear.

And thirdly, many countries are even simply not worth supporting and saving.

In some countries, dictatorship + bureaucratic capitalism; in some countries, the whole people take drugs and export to the whole world, even the government has been held hostage by black hands; in some countries, the whole people are lazy, they would rather let the fruit If you fall on the ground, you won’t pick it up; in other countries, the whole people believe in religion...The chaos of global ideology is not something a trifling great man, a big country can save.

In short, the "New Civilization School" believes that since the current Earth civilization cannot be unified, it will not be unified in the future. Even if unification is forced, there will be more chaotic contradictions, which are determined by comprehensive factors such as history and culture.

Therefore, "Earth Era" is a great attempt by the New Civilization School.

It is trying to use the physical distance to abandon all the dross in human history, trying to build a stronger, unified, united new civilization with the same ideology of the whole people!

It is like when the old man finds that he has no hope in the future, he puts everything on his baby.

This more powerful new civilization, once it succeeds, will have a certain probability to affect the original Earth civilization in turn.

This is the plan made by Mr. Qi Yuanshan.

A great... Ten Thousand Years Plan!

(About motive theory , Grothendieck’s dream, he wanted to establish a "universal" cohomology theory (universalcohomology theory), called motivetheory. Anyway, the words motive and motivation in mathematics are known as very difficult to deal with and very abstract. )

(In the future, there will be some mathematics and science fiction content, you don’t need to know a lot, just know that there is such a thing.)
