The end of technology.

In this way, while countless people were either looking forward to it, or waiting to see a joke, the results of the most trusted laboratory selection vote on the official website of "Nature" finally came out.

With 3562 votes, the Fermi National Laboratory of the United States has a slight advantage of 2 votes ahead of the No.3 CERN.

Of course, the voting rate was actually well controlled in the end. Even the German Federal Institute of Technical Physics and the French Institute of Advanced Science, which received the lowest votes, received more than [-] votes. At least everyone's face was taken into account.

Moreover, the official of the "Nature" magazine has just confirmed that it will send an email to Ning Yu, confirming that the laboratory that reproduces this experiment is Fermi National Laboratory.

Fermilab directly contacted Ning Ruo. According to the required arrangements and taking into account the weather conditions, the two parties agreed that the experiment would be completed three days later by Fermilab before [-]:[-] a.m. local time. Prepare, and officially start the connection. If the cloud conditions permit, Ning Wei will directly start the command test. If not, wait for the conditions to permit.

After confirming the time, Fermilab immediately invited world-class physicists to observe the experiment on its official website.

At the same time, if physicists who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, the International Center for Theoretical Physics Award, and the Wolf Prize in Physics are willing to come and observe, Fermilab will reimburse all expenses in full.

As for other scientists who come to observe, they will also arrange meals and accommodation on the day of the experiment.

In short, under the control of many people with intentions, a simple academic moral issue has become a carnival in the entire world physics community.

So much so that the international gaming giants have heard the news and directly opened the betting channel to see whether this test can reproduce the success.Because the recurrence test only has two options: success and failure, the gameplay is also very simple.

Directly set up two prize pools, and players can directly invest SciCoins into the prize pools.The price of a scientific currency platform is ten dollars, and it is worth $9.5 after being invested in the prize pool, which is equivalent to 5% of the gaming company.The betting amounts in the two prize pools are displayed in real time on the official website. After the results are announced, the winners will share all the prize money in the loser's prize pools in proportion to their investment.

Of course, this is not the first time Western gaming companies have made fun of science.Before the Nobel Prize is about to be announced every year, these magical gaming companies can even directly get the list of final candidates and announce them on the official website, and directly offer real-time odds.

For now, though, the vast majority of bettors still believe in science.

$1.3 million has been saved in the trial's impossible-to-reproduce pot, while only $3381 million has been found in the trial's reproducible prize pool.

Obviously, there are many speculators who choose a reproducible high probability.

After all, the world will never be short of those who love to be small and big, and they will never consider the risks hidden in them that may make people lose their money.

Of course, for Ning Yu, he didn't take these external disturbances to his heart.

No matter how fierce the riots are on the Internet, as long as he doesn't watch or pay attention, it can't affect him.

There is not much to say about this recurrence test. Since Mr. March likes to be lively, let's be lively.Anyway, he just stayed in the room, showed his face, and said a few words, which had no effect.You can even get an extra hour of free time each day for the next week.

This is the embodiment of the humanity of March.

If it can satisfy its little wishes, it will also satisfy Ning Yu's little wishes and achieve a good mood for each other.

Of course, this is just a tacit understanding between one person and one cat.

However, it is impossible to say that it has no influence on Ning Ruo at all, after all, countless people in the outside world have been heartbroken for Ning Ruo.

There's no way, this thing was so lively that it was so lively that a bunch of big guys thought it was a big deal.

Since Fermilab's announcement on the official website, Fan Zhenhua has called Ning Ruo almost every day because he can think about new issues every day.For example, on the first day, I just asked Ning Yu if he was sure, and the next day I called and asked what if the other party didn't cooperate and deliberately caused mischief...

Chen Yonggang was not idle either, and came to find Ning Yu himself.

But fortunately, the principal didn't put any pressure on Ning Zhi, just comforted him. No matter whether the recurrence experiment was successful or not, the school would always be his safe haven, and in turn, let Ning Zhi not be under psychological pressure.

Ning Xiao and Ding Yulin also called and expressed their determination to support him.

As for the neighbor who wanted to be Ning Ruo's brother-in-law, the meals he brought to Ning Ruo these days had obviously increased.In the words of this guy, if you're full, fuck him...

But what made Ning Ruo feel outrageous the most was that his uncle in Luoyu County also called specifically, and the news was not told to him by Ning Xiao, but his uncle opened his new smartphone and saw the system. push...

This probably also confirms how popular this incident is from one side. The media has become so mad that even the elderly who never care about science are not spared...

However, the news was soon announced, and Penguin Video obtained the exclusive live broadcast rights of Huaxia for the global live broadcast of the lightning control reproduction test.

This is probably the reason why Ningbo's mobile phone system will be pushed wildly. After all, the various propaganda methods of the Penguin Group have always been extremely powerful, allowing all kinds of push messages to penetrate into every ordinary person's smart device. , from computer to mobile phone, without exception.

No matter what the outside world thinks, the time has finally come to the time agreed between Fermilab and Ning Ruo.

……

Huaxia, Yanbei Sports University Administration Building, President's Office.

Although Ning Zi felt that the guidance could be completed in his small room in the doctoral building, it was clear that the school attached great importance to this matter.At 07:30 in the evening, Chen Yonggang personally brought Ning Zi here, and then quietly guarded outside.

In the words of President Chen, the doctor building has many eyes, and this matter is getting a lot of attention now. It would be bad if there were any problems during the live broadcast.The principal's office is at least a little better. Most people can't come to this level at all, and this is not only his decision, but also what Academician Lu asked.

Most importantly, the network here is better.

In order to ensure the quality of this long-distance connection, Chen Yonggang found the school's logistics, and selected one with the best configuration from the batch of brand-new laptops he just ordered and used it here.

In short, everyone's attention has exceeded Ning Yu's imagination.

This also made him a little worried for the first time, in case the game was screwed up in March...

But before he could think about it, Ning Yu put the thought aside.Play it and play it, anyway, his situation can't be worse than a few months ago. After experiencing the darkest moment, Ning Yu found that he no longer had too much fear about the future. What kind of adversity probably can maintain a relatively calm attitude.There are more kittens around who can only keep making optimal choices. No matter how miserable it is, can it be worse than returning to the small town from Huaqing to repeat it?

Putting aside his complicated thoughts, Ning Yu began to install the software for remote communication on the new computer provided by the school.

The video software used for this remote assistance was sent directly to his mailbox by Fermilab, with special setup instructions and account numbers.Ning Ruo glanced at the software introduction. HangoutsMeet is a special edition developed by Google and specially provided to Fermilab.

Installed on a new computer, then logged in and everything worked fine.

But before Ning Yu could study the software functions, a pop-up window asking for a connection popped up.

Ning Yu glanced at the time on the computer. It was only [-]:[-], more than an hour and ten from the agreed time. This was indeed anxious enough.Presumably waiting on the line for him to appear?

Trying to figure out what the other party was thinking, Ning Ruo clicked on the connection.

Principal Chen's statement about the fast internet speed in the office is not guaranteed, but Ning Yu suspected that it might be a temporary change of the line, and the international video line was connected directly in less than two seconds.

In fact, Ning Zhi guessed correctly.

Chen Yonggang directly contacted Huaxia Telecom three days ago to replace the dedicated line for the entire building, and conducted a test to ensure that the delay in connecting to the Americas was within 200ms.Of course, this money is not actually paid by the school, but sponsored by a company for the effect of live broadcast, and has paid for three years.

At the same time, there is a special team to protect the network security during the video conference.Make sure that this video will not be interrupted by any attack or other annoying situations.

Coincidentally, both Huaxia and Fermilab have arranged for a professional team to do this.

"Hi, I'm Ernest Durant researcher at Fermilab, are you Ning?"

There was a slight delay, but the voice still entered his ears faster than Ning Yu expected, so Ning Yu nodded and said, "I am, hello."

"Haha, hello, do you know? I was excluded from the preparations for this experiment. Because I listened to the advice of a friend, Professor Duncan, at the internal meeting, it was strongly recommended to purchase two laser equipment from Huaxia. To repeat the experiment, the result is still unsuccessful, and then they start to exclude me. Look, the job that was handed to me today turned out to be staring at you on the software and not online... Ning, believe me, the whole group, probably only me Hope you can win!"

Ning Ruo smiled, the guy on the other side was very interesting.

But to say that he was pushed out, or that he really hoped that he would succeed, Ning Yu would definitely not believe it.

He has heard the name of Fermilab, but it is only two lasers, and this laboratory will not take it seriously at all.

The reason is also very simple. In a financially tight laboratory, researchers have to be careful when buying a similar device that they already have at a meeting. Even if they buy two, they can still get approval, which only shows that they have deep pockets.

"Well, obviously Professor Duncan gave you the right advice, you should thank him, otherwise there will be no chance to reproduce this experiment."

Ning Ruo answered very bluntly.

"Haha, Professor Duncan really appreciates your achievements in mathematics, I can imagine he must be watching the live stream and giggling at this time!"

"The live broadcast has already started?" Ning Ruo was a little surprised.

"Of course, it actually started half an hour ago when we were doing the prep work. Well, I admit, I actually applied for the connection with you, because I haven't been on the big screen yet, and Everyone says I look like a big star, Jimmy Flagg, so I want more people to see me and give me a review, by the way, you know Jimmy?"

Ning Ruo obviously didn't know Jimmy, but seeing the face on the opposite side and the slightly messy hair from the wind, he answered seriously, "I don't know, but I guess he must be a powerful star."

"Haha, yes, you guessed right. Well, my supervisor is urging me, and now I'll point the camera to the sky so you can actually see if the cloud conditions support today's test."

Soon, the picture on the computer screen was aimed at the sky, the weather forecast was accurate, the opposite was cloudy weather, and the naked eye could see that the clouds above were thick.

So Ning Yu glanced at it and replied, "Perfect weather conditions."

"That's great! Let's look forward to the official start of this replication experiment. Look, my colleagues are laying out the equipment according to the scene in your paper. Do you have any suggestions now?"

The screen shifted to the ground again, and Ning Yu could see that the test location was an open grassland.The scenery in the line of sight is unobstructed, at least in the direction the camera is pointing, without any obstructions.There are only a few busy figures...

Well, there is also the host who is leading the camera brother, and the group of people who are laying the equipment is explaining passionately.

"Just follow the arrangement exactly as I wrote in the paper, including the parameter settings of the equipment." Ning Wei replied.

"Great, I can't wait."

"There's still an hour, you guys should prepare first. I still have some work to do here." When she learned that she was already in the live broadcast state, Ning Ruo didn't really want to continue chatting awkwardly with the Durant researcher opposite.

"Of course! Ning, but can the connection be interrupted? You know that at this moment, the whole world wants to see you online all the time."

Ning Yu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded.

He could understand the hope—fear that he would run away at a critical moment.

Even if you are online, you can disconnect and escape, but at least looking at the screen is reassuring.Of course, for the media who got the right to live broadcast, I hope that Ning Ruo can stay online all the time.

Ning Yu probably only cares about whether Lord March has taken those excess materials and hid somewhere in the reproduction test site.

Of course I don't care much...

Although it may feel strange to do the problem in front of the camera, it is not insurmountable.

He felt more comfortable than having an awkward chat with a foreign researcher all the time.

……

At the same time, the carnival has started again on Huaxia Network.

Under the push of information from the Penguin Group's small means, about half of the people in China knew about this grand experiment that has attracted worldwide attention.Half of them turned on the live broadcast on time.

The preparatory picture of Fermilab in the early days was actually very boring.

Even though the Penguin Group asked experts to explain all kinds of knowledge about lightning and introduce Ning Ruo's paper, it was still boring.

After all, who is really interested in these things?

Finally, when Ning Yu went online, everyone's curiosity was finally satisfied.

Sure enough, he was still so handsome, especially when he left the country with the uncle on the opposite side.

The most important thing is that this guy doesn't seem to be as speechless as the Internet rumors, especially the evaluation of a powerful star. Foreign netizens probably don't understand its connotation, but countless people in China are knowing and even laughing. Laughing, the comment area of ​​Penguin Live also began to become lively with the naked eye...

"So, today is the showdown between the idol faction and the powerful faction? Haha!"

"I didn't expect mathematicians to say that physicists are ugly in such a vague way."

"I'm 36D, do you like Ning Yu?"

Special edition used.

Chapter 092 The thunder rolls, sweeping away the turbid world

It's a pity that Ning Ruo didn't pay attention to the live broadcast, but he didn't really care about his image on the video.In other words, Ning Zhi has never paid much attention to her own image since she was a child.

Otherwise, he wouldn't come before the capital. Ning Xiao couldn't stand his outfit, so he must take him to change his image.

Although an hour is not long, it can make him think about some problems.

Although March was not by his side, the topics left to him were always with him.

Especially after it was announced that Ning Yu had graduated from the basic mathematics course, the given goals and the difficulty of specific questions had once again reached a new level.

For example, Ning Zhi's current goal is to try to prove a certain type of NP problem = or ≠ P type of problem.

The simplest description is some kind of NP=P?

Speaking of such mathematical problems, including the NS equation problem solved by Ning Yu, we have to start with the legendary German mathematician David Hilbert in the first year of the last century.

The legendary all-around great mathematician decided to believe in the wisdom of future generations, so he raised 1900 questions at one go at the Mathematics Conference in Paris in 23.And these 23 problems have directly become the mainstream research direction of the global mathematics community for a whole century.

Even research on these issues is of great help to the development of computer science.

In this way, a hundred years have passed. Although the 23 problems have not been completely solved, the mathematicians in the new century sat together and discussed it. The wisdom of the family, so we should raise a few more questions on the basis of our predecessors.It's just that with the rapid development of mathematics in this century, various classifications have become more and more detailed. In the new era, there is no almost omnipotent mathematician like Hilbert back then who has the qualifications to ask questions to the global mathematics community.

But it doesn't matter. Under the call of the world's superpowers, the Clay Institute of Mathematics invited Andrew Wiles, who had proved Fermat's Last Theorem, and Atiyah, who won the Fields and Abel Double Mathematics Prize, and American mathematician. John Tait, and even the founder of string theory, physicist Witten, and other scientists sat together to discuss the problems of the new century.

In this way, the legendary seven problems of the millennium were born. NP=P?It has become the number one problem in the millennium, and the NS equation problem that has been proved by Ning Zi is also a super problem that has troubled mathematicians for many years.

Of course about NP=P?There is also a long history.

As early as 1971, Stephen Cook, a scientist of computational complexity theory, mentioned a very special kind of problem-NP-C problem in his paper "Complexity of Theorem Proving Process".This type of problem has two characteristics. First, it must be an NP problem, and second, any other NP-type problem can be reduced to this problem.

Obviously, this kind of problem is very complicated. In fact, the academic circles at that time have always doubted whether such a problem really exists.

But a great man is a great man after all. After asking this kind of problem, Stephen Cook really found a problem, and through the Turing machine, he proved that the problem he raised was an NPC problem, that is, an NP-complete problem.

Its definition is "given a logical expression containing n logical variables, determine whether the expression may be true, that is, determine whether the logical expression is satisfiable." Because of this definition, the class The problem is also known as the "satisfiability problem".

There is no need to worry about how big a brain hole Stephen Cook has opened here. Anyway, after he proved that the problem he raised was an NPC problem in this way, the famous Cook's theorem in mathematics was born. "The satisfiability problem is an NPC". question.

When Stephen Cook completed this seminal work, the mathematicians inspired the following year came up with 21 NPC-like problems in a row.For example, the famous "Hamiltonian cycle", "Knapsack problem", "Three matching problem" and so on.

Of course, the most important thing is not that these problems are discovered, but according to the academic definition of NPC problem [-]: any other NP problem can be reduced to this problem, then it is only necessary to find the polynomial time complexity of any NPC problem. Algorithms also mean being able to prove NP=P.
