Chapter 68 God of Mathematics
Chen Luo handed the medal of honor again to the young man in front of him.
The Mathematics Association is a huge institution. The four empires of the Divine Glory Continent and dozens of kingdoms have mathematical associations. Although these associations are not affiliated with each other, the medals of honor are recognized by all mathematical associations and are distributed in units of kingdoms every year.
The Yapo City Branch is just a small branch of the Mathematical Association of the Kingdom of Lorraine. There are very few honorary scholars here, but if the scope is expanded to the entire Kingdom of Lorraine, other kingdoms, and even the four empires, honorary scholars are nothing.
A Yapo City branch, let alone a small reception desk, would not be able to know all the honorary scholars on the Shenren Continent.
This is the reason why Chen Luo dared to take out the medal of honor and was not afraid of his identity being exposed.
Gal checked the medal of honor, and the expression on his face became even more confusing.
After the death of honorary scholars, the Mathematics Association will cast a new medal while retaining their honorary scholars to ensure that the number of honorary medals remains unchanged.
There is no problem with this medal, that is, if the mysterious man in front of him was not stolen from him, then he is indeed an honorary scholar.
To verify whether the other party was a thief or a liar, it was not something that he could do with a small receptionist. Gal looked at the thick stack of manuscript papers, looked at Chen Luo with complicated eyes, and said, "Please wait for a moment here, I'll invite Vice President Audrey..."
Chen Luo didn't wait long before he saw Vice President Audrey running down from the building in a hurry.
He quickly walked to Chen Luo and asked straight to the point: "Have you answered all the reward questions from the Mathematics Association?"
Chen Luo did not speak, but handed over the stack of manuscript paper.
After Audrey took it, his eyes couldn't wait to look over.
Although what Gal said was a bit incredible, he knew whether this honorary scholar was a liar after verifying it himself.
Mathematics never tolerate fraud, and the answer he wanted was on this thick stack of paper.
The first one he saw was the shortest path problem. Scholars from the Mathematics Association have been studying this question for a long time. However, many people have put forward the answers, but they cannot prove that the path found is the shortest.
This person..., this person turned out to be conventional and thought of using a symmetric point method to easily find the optimal path based on the axiom of the shortest line segment between two points...
In other words, this reward question worth 20 gold coins was solved by him so easily.
Audrey glanced at Chen Luo and turned a new page.
The second page is a more complex geometric proof question. This question is a conjecture proposed by a senior honorary scholar in the royal capital a year ago. Over the past year, countless scholars have tried to prove this conjecture, but they all ended in failure.
Many scholars have already reached conclusions that the conjecture of the honorary scholar is wrong and cannot be proven...
Now, Audrey finally understood why no one proved this conjecture, because before proving this conjecture, they still need to know a theorem.
"The sum of the distances from the outer center of a triangle to each side is equal to the sum of the radius of the circumferential circle and the radius of the circumferential circle." This is a new theorem that Audrey has never heard of.
The proof process of this theorem is attached to the bottom of this manuscript paper, with clear steps and perfection.
With this theorem, this conjecture is simple and proof.
And this question is worth 50 gold coins.
Audrey stood in front of the counter and could hardly wait to turn a new page. This time, it was the time for two gods to be grateful.
Of course, Chen Luo would not stand stupidly on the side. It took him a whole week to solve these twenty questions. Even if he followed his ideas and only looked at the problem-solving and proofing process, it would take quite a while.
Gal's suspicion about Chen Luo had long disappeared without a trace. When he saw Chen Luo walking towards the sofa in the rest area, he took the initiative to serve him tea and pastries, and then stood behind Chen Luo waiting for the order.
His eyes looked in the direction of Vice President Audrey from time to time, and only saw him slowly flipping the manuscript, sometimes he was pondering his head and sometimes he slapped the table, and his face suddenly appeared...
Obviously, if this Excellency Chen Luo was a liar, Vice President Audrey would have been rude to him. The only explanation is that he really solved the problems of those rewards!
This made Gal's heart storm. You know, even a great scholar can't do such an incredible thing...
Although great scholars do not know everything, the usual reward questions were solved by the vast majority of mathematicians, it has never happened. Someone once captured the association’s years of accumulation...
Is this something that only the God of Mathematics can do?
Gal's heart was turbulent, and on the other hand, Audrey finally finished the last page of the manuscripts.
He swallowed, then pursed his dry lips, still unable to come back to his senses from the huge shock.
How is this possible? How is this possible!
Several experts have tried to answer these questions, but even they did not give answers. It is rare to be able to answer one of these questions. If you can solve two of them, you must have extraordinary mathematical talent and can solve more than three. That is an absolute genius...
It is beyond Audrey's understanding that such a genius has never appeared since the founding of the Mathematics Association, even the greats cannot do it.
This is something that no great masters in the Kingdom of Lorraine, the Empire of Os, and the Continent of Gods could do.
Such people can be called gods and gods of mathematics.
Mathematics is different from the level of a magician. The stronger the level, the stronger the strength. Mathematics emphasizes talent and inspiration. Questions that cannot be solved by math rookies may be solved by math rookies. This is a very common thing in the mathematics community.
And great scholars are not omnipotent. They all have their own fields of research. They have extremely authoritative authority in their fields, but in other fields, their abilities are ultimately limited.
The topics offered by the Mathematics Association cover various fields.
It is a coincidence to solve a problem.
It can be said that it is accidental to solve two paths.
I solved three paths and could barely say that I was lucky...
...
The twenty-three paths were solved, which was absolute strength. Audrey could not find a second word to describe it except "god".
Moreover, he not only solved these twenty-three problems, but in this process, he also proposed and proved 11 theorems and 11 new mathematical theorems. After Audrey's verification, they were all correct...
Audrey looked at the direction of the rest area with infinite fear, took a difficult step, and suddenly fell to the ground.
He had been standing for too long, and his legs were already numb, but he, who had just been completely immersed in the world of mathematics, did not realize it.
Gal immediately ran over, helped Audrey up, and asked, "Sir Audrey, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Because of the numbness of my feet, the expression on Audrey's face was a little painful, and he could not stand alone.
With the help of Gal, he slowly moved towards Chen Luo.
When Audrey walked to Chen Luo, he had just finished the last piece of cake.
Chen Luo stood up, looked at Audrey, and asked, "Your Excellency Vice President, how is the verification?"
Audrey looked at him with great respect and said, "Dear Mr. Chen Luo, your exquisite answering process has impressed Audrey..."
At this moment, Audrey had no doubt about Chen Luo's identity.
Such a person is far less than a great scholar than him. How could he pretend to be a small junior honorary scholar? At this moment, in Audrey's heart, Chen Luo is no different from God.
Gal, who was standing beside him, had a dull face. Vice President Audrey is a senior honorary scholar. He has never been so respectful to a great scholar. Could it be that the mysterious man in front of him is even more noble than the identity of a great scholar?
Chen Luo looked at Audrey and asked, "Are the results correct?"
Audry nodded and said, "No flaws."
"Then give me money." Chen Luo looked at him and said, "The twenty-three reward questions are, the bounty is 535 gold coins in total. For the first time, I will erase a fraction of it for you and give me 530."
Audry showed a shocked expression on his face. These twenty-three difficult questions and eleven new theorems are precious wealth in the mathematics community. Can they be measured with gold coins?
Could it be that this great scholar answers these questions because of his bounty?
Seeing that he had just mentioned the bounty, Audrey fell silent. Chen Luo also realized that he seemed a little anxious and said, "Don't get me wrong. I just think these questions are interesting, not for gold coins..."
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You have made great contributions to mathematics. How can you measure it with just a few hundred gold coins?"
Chen Luo looked at him and asked, "You mean, there is still room for bounty for these issues?"
"-----" Audrey fell into silence again, and after a moment, he seemed to understand something.
