Chapter 241 The Live Broadcast Room with the Highest Average Education Level

For netizens, it doesn’t matter whether they can understand it or not. The key is that they must join in the fun of such an important occasion.

Witness Xu Yuan prove the Hodge conjecture and finally enter the highest realm of mathematics.

As the news spread, more and more users flocked to Xu Yuan's live broadcast room.

Many of them are newly registered small accounts.

The number of barrage comments skyrocketed, and many people interacted with Xu Yuan.

……

Tan Jingdong is an ordinary office worker. After work, when he returns to his rented house in a big city, his biggest hobby is to turn on his computer and watch live broadcasts.

Use this to kill boring time.

Today, as usual, he came upstairs after dinner and ran to the computer as soon as he opened the door.

"My dog ​​supervisor made me work overtime for half an hour, so I can only watch the live broadcast now."

He was mumbling to himself, his fingers had already pressed the buttons on the console, and his expression quickly turned into one of joy.

soon.

A familiar desktop appears on the computer startup screen.

He first opened the live streaming platform he often used.

Just when I was about to look for a live broadcast room I liked, I was suddenly attracted by the live broadcast room that ranked first in popularity.

The user name is garbled.

The title doesn't fit either.

"Live broadcast to prove the world's mathematical problem, the Hodge conjecture?"

"So much fun."

He read it out loud subconsciously, and seemed a little confused.

He had been watching live broadcasts for so long, but this was the first time he had seen someone prove a difficult mathematical problem live.

Although he didn't know much about mathematics, he had heard about the difficulty of the Hodge conjecture because he often surfed the Internet.

It is world-class.

So he didn't believe that anyone was really proving it, and it should be a deliberate gimmick.

Out of curiosity, he hesitated a little but still clicked into the live broadcast room.

As the images from the live broadcast room appeared on the screen, his first reaction was how could he have forgotten to turn on the sound.

Then I looked carefully again and found that the live broadcast room was too quiet.

All you can see is a figure writing on a whiteboard filled with complicated mathematical formulas.

It doesn't look like a hoax at all.

"It looks familiar."

Especially when he realized that he seemed to have seen this figure before, he muttered something to himself and then focused his attention on the barrage.

"I don't understand it at all. I suddenly feel that my IQ is so low."

“Is this still mathematics?”

"Even if I don't understand, I will continue the live broadcast. I must complete the proof of the Hodge conjecture with Professor Xu."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Even if you find a math PhD, they may not be able to understand much of these mathematical formulas."

“It is truly a world-class mathematical problem that brings together the most abstract concepts.”

"My son has been busy for me for a long time, and finally he can come in to see Professor Xu."

"No wonder Professor Xu is called a genius. His concentration alone is unmatched by ordinary people."

“Is there a math professor in the live studio right now?”

"Say what you think. The live broadcast platform should really give Professor Xu an award. They made a lot of money this time."

……

Tan Jingdong browsed the constantly refreshing barrage, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, he finally understood why he was familiar with the back figure in the live broadcast room.

After all, who doesn’t know the youngest Fields Medal winner?

This is the pride of the Chinese people.

At this point, he was also convinced that the content of the live broadcast was true, and Xu Yuanzhen proved Hodge's conjecture on the spot.

Although he was not good at mathematics, all he wanted to do now was to keep reading.

I wonder if Xu Yuan can accomplish this feat.

But at this moment, he was suddenly surprised to find that there was a lag in the live broadcast room.

-

As the leading interactive live broadcast platform in China, Huya can provide high-definition online viewing for two million people at the same time.

But because of the popularity brought by Xu Yuanjia Hodge's conjecture, their servers seem to be struggling at the moment, and even the entire platform is at risk of crashing.

In fact, after Xu Yuan started the live broadcast and posted on Weibo, the technical staff of the live broadcast platform had already detected data anomalies.

Faced with this emergency, it is obviously impossible to get off work normally.

Even the platform president came over to take charge personally.

"What is the current situation? We must ensure the normal operation of the platform."

Yangcheng.

On the floor where the live broadcast platform was located, Dong Rongjie, the president, stood behind the technical staff and asked about the situation with an anxious look on his face.

The technician was typing quickly on the keyboard with both hands. When faced with his boss's questions, he did not show any intention of stopping and explained the situation without turning his head.

"The number of people in Professor Xu's live broadcast room is still increasing. We are currently urgently adding servers."

"If it really doesn't work, we should stop supporting other live broadcast rooms first. We must ensure that Professor Xu's live broadcast can continue. We must seize this opportunity to promote the platform."

Dong Rongjie already knew the whole story.

The Internet is well aware of Xu Yuan's influence on the Internet. It can be said that he has more fans than big-name stars. It is no different from pie in the sky to allow Xu Yuan to live broadcast on their platform.

What's more, the content of the live broadcast is to prove the Hodge conjecture, which is something that the global mathematical community is paying attention to.

If the proof can be completed, one can imagine the amount of popularity it will eventually bring.

Maybe their platform will become popular overseas.

So now, let alone stopping other live broadcasts on the platform, anyone who dares to disrupt it will be his lifelong enemy.

Fortunately, the technical staff also knew this truth, and they immediately guaranteed it when they heard the boss's words.

"Don't worry, boss."

"Everyone, please work overtime with Professor Xu all night today, and you will get a bonus at the end of the month." Dong Rongjie said with a smile, breathing a sigh of relief.

While they were fully prepared, the popularity of Xu Yuan's live broadcast to prove Hodge's conjecture was still rising.

If those who knew about it at the beginning were just ordinary fans, then as things gradually developed, the news quickly spread among the domestic mathematician circle.

Originally, everyone was waiting for Xu Yuan to prove the Hodge conjecture so that they could study the proof process as soon as possible.

But now, as long as you enter the live broadcast room, you can fulfill your wish.

Naturally, everyone acted quickly, even if some people didn't know much about live streaming.

Just ask students from the School of Accounting for help.

Under such circumstances, the average educational level of users in the live broadcast room is rising rapidly.

"Good boy."

"The proof was completed so quickly. I was too conservative a few days ago."

In a study room in a residential area of ​​Yanjing, Tang Shihong was sitting in front of a computer. On the screen was a picture of Xu Yuan writing the proof of Hodge's conjecture.

After learning the news from the school, he asked his son to help register an account on the platform.

Then he locked himself in the study and watched carefully the process of Xu Yuan proving the Hodge conjecture.

However, based on his understanding of Xu Yuan, the fact that he chose to publicly prove the Hodge conjecture through live broadcast only meant that Xu Yuan should have proved it long ago, and now he was just rewriting the proof steps.

But you have to know that a few days ago Xu Yuan made it clear that the Hodge conjecture has not been completely proven yet.

It seems to be a relatively conservative answer for everyone.

Then he quickly took out a few sheets of draft paper from the drawer, picked up the pen on the table and prepared to start calculating.

I want to demonstrate Xu Yuan's proof process and improve my own related thinking at the same time.

However, I only wrote less than three formulas in the end and finally stopped.

"Ah~"

"The gap between me and Xu Yuan has become so big!"

He shook his head and let out a sigh.

He really wanted to prove Xu Yuan's proof process, but unfortunately the gap in strength between the two was too big.

It's completely not on the same level anymore.

I still remember the scene when he was guiding Xu Yuan's thesis. Now, several years have passed and this situation can only exist in memory.

But in his heart, he was always proud and gratified towards Xu Yuan, and there was no such thing as envy, jealousy or hatred.

After all, Xu Yuan is his student, and the stronger the student's ability, the more prestigious it is for him as a teacher.

at the same time.

Qiu Chengtong, who was also in Yanjing, also paid attention to Xu Yuan's proof process after receiving the news.

And after seeing the clever steps, they will send barrages.

"It is really a very ingenious process to combine so many branches of mathematics and apply the Abelian category theory in physics."

"I feel more and more that the Hodge conjecture is about to be completely solved."

“I tried to verify Professor Xu’s proof process, but I found that I couldn’t even do it at my current level.”

"This writing speed is too fast, could it be that Professor Xu has already completed the final proof?"

"I'm really looking forward to it."

"Based on the content of the comments, it is obvious that the education level of the users in the live broadcast room has improved."

"If I drop a bomb in a live broadcast room right now, it will probably bring out a bunch of math professors and scholars."

Because Xu Yuan wrote the proof steps on the writing board very quickly, with almost no pauses in between, everyone began to wonder whether Professor Xu had already proved the Hodge conjecture.

If that's the case, then we can start popping the champagne now.

As for the higher educational level of users in the live broadcast room, it can be clearly seen, after all, the style of the barrage is completely different.

Xu Yuan was unaware of the current situation in the live broadcast room. He was completely immersed in deep learning at the moment.

First, integrate the completed parts of the proof of the Hodge conjecture and write them down on the writing board.

So there was no pause in between.

When the proof reached the last 1%, his movements finally slowed down.

After being noticed by the audience in the live broadcast room, they all started to express their concern.

I thought Xu Yuan had hit a bottleneck and couldn't continue proving his point.

Even Tang Shihong began to doubt his own guess after seeing this scene, wondering whether Xu Yuan had actually proved the Hodge conjecture.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan's pause did not last too long.

About two minutes later, the hand holding the pen finally moved again.

It is worth mentioning that netizens thought of the previous doubts about Xu Yuan by overseas mathematicians, so they uploaded the live video in segments and posted it on overseas platforms.

I plan to give overseas mathematicians and scholars a surprise first to stimulate them.

But what is somewhat embarrassing is that those who were sent from China to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians were also stimulated.
