Chapter 1376: Top secret file

Go to Beijing.
Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
There was a crowd of people in a not-so-large conference room.
Most of them are the leaders of the major public mathematical research institutions in China, and the most prestigious scholars of all sizes.
As for why they are sitting here ...
In fact, they didn't know it themselves.
"There isn't even a meeting agenda."
Looking at the mineral water bottle standing there alone on the conference table, Wang Shicheng frowned.
When he was about to ask a staff member for a question, a familiar voice suddenly passed from the side.
"Wang Shicheng? Haha, you old guy was also invited?"
Hearing this voice, Wang Shicheng looked sideways with displeased expression, and saw that Academician Xiang came with a smile on his face and sat down beside him.
"Our Institute of Mathematics at Yanda University is also the top mathematical research institution in China. Why can't I come?"
"Hey, look at what you said, I didn't mean that, I was just a bit surprised," I looked around, lowered my voice to the academician, and said softly, "I observed it, it seems that it is not just the major research institutions The number one player in the field of number theory in China has been invited ... I don't know what is going to be discussed at this conference. "
"No."
"No?" He froze slightly, and looked at him with a little incomprehension.
Without looking to the academician, Wang Shicheng just raised his eyelid and glanced at the conference room, and said lightly.
"Speaking of experts in the field of number theory, there is one other person who has not come."
"You mean Academician Lu?"
"Yes," Nodded his head, Wang Shicheng said frankly, "Number theory, if he calls second, no one dares to call first. Since he is a scholar who summoned the direction of number theory, and he is not so smart here, I can Guess that this will probably be related to him. "
Although he didn't particularly like the young man, he still admired that person's mathematical achievements.
While talking, a middle-aged man in formal attire came to the podium in front of the conference room.
As the man coughed gently, the voice in the conference room quieted.
Although he is not academia, as the second head of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the vast majority of scholars sitting here will be familiar with him.
"It seems this meeting is not easy."
Hearing a whisper to Xiang Huanan, Wang Shicheng didn't speak, but nodded in silence.
The "Industry Conference" hosted by the Second Leader of the Ministry of Science and Technology ...
Can this be simpler?
"To make a long story short." After a slight cough, the man standing in front of the podium quickly entered the subject with a serious expression, "You are about to come into contact with the state's highest secret, and the level of confidentiality is tentatively confidential. The period of confidentiality is thirty years. After the meeting, it is forbidden to discuss the meeting in private and to disclose or disclose any relevant information about the meeting. "
"Of course, the specific top-secret content has nothing to do with you and me. In order to facilitate the work, I will try to pick the main points here."
After a pause, the man nodded to the staff member next to him, motioned him to turn on the projector.
Soon, as the projector turned on, a ppt of black text on a white background was presented on the curtain.
The moment he saw this question, a whispered rumor was heard in the conference room.
Almost everyone's face was filled with unexpected expressions.
"Ab guess !?"
"What the is this going to do? I don't understand why."
"It looks like it's going to call everyone to solve mathematical problems."
"It's just nonsense. Is this something that can be done by focusing?"
Listening to the voice in the ear, he opened his mouth to Academician South China, and it took a while to look at Academician Wang Shicheng sitting next to him, with a strange expression.
"Pharaoh, what do you think."
There were also two words on the face, Wang Shicheng squeezed a word from his mouth after a long time.
"... I don't know, don't ask me."
ab guess ...
Although I don't know what the inevitable connection between this gadget and state secrets is, he reasonably told him that this gadget could not solve the problem by convening top domestic experts to hold a meeting.
"This is a math problem. I believe that at your level, I don't need to explain more. Here I will only focus on the points." Looking at the discussion room, the expression on the man's face remained unchanged, and he continued to say, "The Ministry of Science and Technology has set up a special research fund with an annual budget of 100 million yuan."
"Whoever can solve this problem will have this funding."
Who can solve it? !!
When we heard this sentence, everyone who was still talking about the previous second, took a breath of indifference.
Even Wang Shicheng, who has retired for many years, couldn't help but screamed.
100 million research funding? !!
And it's still 100 million a year ...
Is this crazy?
For some professional engineering academicians, a hundred million yuan may not be worth much, and that is the cost of adding two pieces of equipment. Especially for those scientists who make rockets and grow the sun, let alone 100 million, doubling them may not be enough.
However, for a poor subject like mathematics, 100 million is already an astronomical figure.
If there is so much money, I'm afraid I have to worry about spending every year.
"What's happening is worth the price of the Ministry of Science and Technology ..." Frowning, Academician Xiang Hua, sitting beside him, muttered in an incredible tone.
"I don't know ..." Academician Wang Shicheng shook his head gravely, "But I'm sure the relationship behind this is not small."
...
In fact, many academics at the conference room, including Academician Wang Shicheng, had the correct hunch.
A report from Mars not only transformed the entire 128 project into a Class A secret, but also made the entire high-level office of the manned fire as close to the enemy.
Extraterrestrial civilization ...
A day ago, this sounded like a distant concept.
However, this has become a problem that everyone has to face.
Even when the leaders of almost all public mathematics institutes across the country were called to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a meeting, a ministerial closed-door meeting was also taking place in Chang'an Street, not far away.
"... It's simply open to the international community, and regardless of the benefits that are not known, the risks are too great! If all goes well, it's fine, if it's not handled well, it might even let us count The efforts and achievements of the past ten years are lost, and they must bear the stigma of all human sinners. "
"I agree with Minister Wang. Just like global climate action, this is no longer a problem facing our country, but a problem faced by all humankind. Even if it is kept top secret, it will be kept secret for up to 30 years. The world is so embarrassed that it is better to take risks to ourselves than to make them public to a limited extent. "
"I object, at least until we confirm security, we should ensure that all options are in our hands!"
"Secondary! If it's useful, what if it's useless even if it's public? Who can you expect to help besides arguing? Those Yankees?"
"I do n’t agree with disclosure, but I do n’t agree with this either. We can completely disclose some information with reservations, and on the premise of relatively controlling the channels of dialogue, set up an international organization to discuss countermeasures. This will not only help us Increasing international influence can even avoid the risk of a crisis of trust. Otherwise, if a little bit of wind is leaked, or if other countries have the evidence of our own contacts with civilizations outside the country, it is likely that our relationship with the international community will fall into a very Awkward situation. "
"Indeed ... it's too difficult to keep it completely secret for ten or twenty years without leaking a little bit of wind!"
At any time, contact with extraterrestrial civilizations is full of risks.
This risk is not just from distant light years, but also from Earth's neighbors within easy reach.
If a country makes contact with extraterrestrial civilizations on its own, it means that he has all the power to diplomacy with extraterrestrial civilizations, including declaring war and peace talks, while other countries can only become passive recipients of all dialogue results.
The benefits are all taken up by others, but they have to take risks with them, and they are even caught in the dark, and no one will be willing to change them. It would be nice if you could keep it secret, but obviously it's impossible.
Looking at the controversial conference room, the elder sitting at the conference table was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Zhou and asked.
"That ab guess, can't you solve it?"
Although this question may seem irrelevant to the conference agenda, in fact, the most important point was asked.
To be able to solve this mathematical problem seems to be the prerequisite for dialogue with that extraterrestrial civilization.
Gradually began to realize this, the voice of the discussion gradually subsided, everyone in the conference room was quiet, waiting for his answer quietly.
"I don't know," Lu Zhou shook his head in the face of a pair of eyes looking at himself, and said sternly, "This kind of thing is only known after trying it ... and intuition tells me that even if it can be solved, I am afraid it will take a lot of time. "
The old man thought for a while and nodded.
"Ignore the situation where there is no answer for the time being. Now suppose you have solved this problem. Who do you think is better?"
"From a sincere point of view, naturally it is better for the person who solves the problem to go." After a pause, Lu Zhou continued, "If it is me ... and not someone else solves the problem, I am willing to go Mars."
The elder frowned.
"Can't talk remotely?"
"It's difficult," Lu Zhou said, shaking his head. "Don't say it's Mars. Even the earth can't transmit radio signals so deep underground. Unless a communication base station is built on the ground and the optical cable is laid down. With the current conditions of the base, it is almost impossible for UU to read www.uukanshu.com to do this. "
After a pause, looking at the others in the conference room, Lu Zhou continued.
"Not to mention, I want to go over and see what the so-called alien looks like."
"I think it's still too risky," although moved by the spirit of Lu Zhou's selfless dedication, Director Li couldn't help but said, "It's Mars tens of millions of kilometers away ... If this link is out of order The problem is not a joke. "
"Science itself is adventure. When did I say that I was playing around?" Lu Zhou said calmly, looking at his old friend with concern on his face. "If everything goes well, this meeting will bring us The impact may be greater than controlled fusion. "
"Whether considering from the standpoint of the country or human beings."
"I need to go there in person!"
