Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 205: Let Me Look Through the Wrong Questions

During lunch time, Chen Zhou took the opportunity to go out of the library and get some fresh air.

Since returning to Yanda, he has been working in the library for nearly eight hours straight.

Except for lunch at noon, I stopped writing for a while.

The rest of the time, it can be said that there is no stopping.

But fortunately, the thinking during military training gave him the guarantee of calculation efficiency.

As long as his train of thought does not fail, he can continue to move forward towards the heart of the hail conjecture.

It can be said that Chen Zhou’s proof goes wherever his thoughts lead.

He is indeed a little tired now and needs a short rest.

Also make some adjustments and sort out your thoughts.

The two of them each ordered a bowl of beef noodles and a sausage in the cafeteria.

After carrying the noodles to the seat, Yang Yiyi asked curiously, "How is it?"

Chen Zhou bit off the noodles, raised his head and glanced at Yang Yiyi: "It's okay, the current progress is going smoothly. According to this idea, there will be results in the next two days."

"Wow, really?" Yang Yiyi asked in surprise and joy.

This was the first time she heard a positive answer from Chen Zhou after he began his research on the hail hypothesis.

Before, Chen Zhou either said that his thinking might not be right, or that this thing couldn't be calculated at all ...

Then, she just watched Chen Zhou immersed in the research of the hail conjecture, but could never find a solution.

But now, Chen Zhou seems to be very close to his goal.

How could this not surprise her?

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, then chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that a military training would provide me with an idea to solve the hail conjecture."

Yang Yiyi asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Ideas provided by military training?"

Chen Zhou said, "During military training, didn't our 7th Company practice changing the formation in the middle of the playground?"

Yang Yiyi nodded: "Yes, you were standing in the front at that time, and I saw you at a glance."

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "It's that triangular formation. What do you think that formation looks like?"

"What does it look like?" Yang Yiyi thought about it. Isn't it just a triangle formation? Triangles look like so many things.

For example, she really likes ice cream cones, which are also triangle-shaped.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiyi blurted out: "Like an ice cream cone..."

Hearing this answer, Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, and then he laughed out loud. This girl is really a foodie.

Looking at Chen Zhou who was laughing, Yang Yiyi wrinkled her delicate nose: "Isn't it?"

Chen Zhou stopped laughing and said, "Yes, yes, it does look like an ice cream cone."

Hearing this, Yang Yiyi stuck out her tongue and said, "Can I have one later?"

Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let me buy you an ice cream cone, you foodie."

The agreement between Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi is that although the ice cream is delicious, they can only eat one at most per day and not be greedy.

But today is the day we return to school after military training, so we can make an exception.

After having their fill of ice cream and a full meal, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi returned to the library again.

What’s rare is that their old positions are still there.

No need to go to the study room to find a seat anymore.

After sitting down, Chen Zhou took out the draft paper from the afternoon and quickly immersed himself in it.

After analyzing the table obtained before leaving in the afternoon, Chen Zhou found that as the number of hail conjecture operations increased, the proportion of odd numbers in level n that met the condition a＞a(m) accounted for the total number.

This proportion is getting bigger and bigger.

But will it eventually equal 1?

With this doubt, Chen Zhou thought about it for a while and then started writing:

[If the symbol Sm is used to represent the sum of the odd proportions of the first m terms, then when m→∞, limm→∞Sm=1]

After writing, Chen Zhou marked it again.

Because the symbol ∞ does not mean that m really tends to infinity, but rather that this number will tend to a positive integer to be determined.

The proof of this inference relies on a table.

Chen Zhou looked at the table while holding a pen and writing down the relevant conclusions.

In the table, the proportion of each row can be recorded as a series.

Chen Zhou was trying to find the general form of this number series.

[…r is the row index, n is the element index of the sequence, and the general formula is ar,n=(kr,n-1+kr-1,n+1)/2^(2r+n-2). Here kk,c represents the numerator in ak,c…]

The pen in my hand kept moving across the draft paper as my thoughts progressed.

But it’s not as smooth as before.

Wherever your thoughts go, your pen will follow.

As Chen Zhou's research on the hail hypothesis became more in-depth, his thoughts gradually failed to keep up with the speed of his writing.

The time he spent thinking also became longer and longer.

After staying in the library until closing time, Chen Zhou gave up the idea of continuing the effort.

Some content needs to be clarified.

At this step, verification is also needed.

After returning to the dormitory, Chen Zhou put his backpack on the chair and did not touch it. Instead, he took the basin and towel and went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Chen Zhou fumbled to take something out of his backpack, then climbed onto the bed.

Zhao Qiqi, Li Li and others were still reading.

After the three of them returned to school, they lay on their beds for a long time.

Compared to the hard beds in the military training base, they prefer the comfortable beds .

So, the three of them are in high spirits now.

However, they were also very conscious not to disturb Chen Zhou.

It can be seen from Chen Zhou's performance that apart from saying hello, he ran to the library as soon as he got off the car.

Then, even after coming back from the library, he was still absent-minded and didn't even say a word to them.

Obviously, it's something important.

Chen Zhou, who had no idea what these three people were thinking, was lying on the bed, frowning and thinking about the hail conjecture.

He is currently sorting out his subsequent ideas.

Along the way, including since he came back until now, his mind has been full of hail conjectures and research ideas.

This is also the reason why he did not speak to Li Li and the other two after he came back.

After a while, Chen Zhou's frown slowly relaxed, as if he had figured out the mystery.

He took a look at the items he took out of the backpack, thought about it, and slowly opened it.

Originally, Chen Zhou planned to either follow this line of thought to the end, or, if this line of thought didn't work, he would continue to follow it until death.

Only then will he open the collection of wrong questions to verify whether the idea he has taken to the end is really correct, or where exactly the problem lies in the idea that does not work.

But now, after Chen Zhou sorted out his thoughts, he has seen the final result of this idea.

At least from his point of view, there should be no problem.

Therefore, it is necessary to examine the results of nearly 12 hours of work today.

If the first part is wrong, there is no need to continue to straighten out the ideas later.

But if there is no problem with the previous ideas, calculations, proofs, discussions, etc.

The solution to the hail hypothesis is at hand.

Chen Zhou's hands trembled slightly.

Well, this collection of wrong questions has gained weight recently and is a bit heavy.

That's why my hands shake.

Finally, Chen Zhou turned to the latest page of the collection of wrong questions.

Chen Zhou could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which was very loud and fast.

He was nervous and excited.
