Chapter 840 - What a Rush
840 What a Rush
For a high-end gated community like this, every entry and exit had to be registered.
After Lu Zhou moved in, the gated community increased its security levels. There were more security guards roaming around the area.
Even though this was Lu Zhou’s car, he still had to follow security procedures.
After Wang Peng parked the car, he got off and muttered, “What a rush this car is.”
Due to his profession, he had driven many cars. Ranging from premium foreign cars to customized domestic cars. However, this was one of the best cars he had ever driven.
Considering the fact that electric cars had only been around for a few years, this was even more amazing.
Lu Zhou stretched his shoulders and smiled. “Of course.”
Wang Peng: “It’s not cheap, right?”
Lu Zhou: “I don’t know, but there’s only one in the world...”
Wang Peng spoke emotionally.
“So that’s how rich people live.”
Lu Zhou said, “Stop pretending, you’ve driven military tanks before, this is just a sports car.”
Wang Peng rubbed his nose and said, “I haven’t driven a tank, I’ve only ridden in one...”
Lu Zhou: “...”
Wow...
I was just kidding, I didn’t expect this guy to actually have sat in a tank before.
Lu Zhou was suddenly curious about what kind of life his bodyguard used to live.
Wang Peng looked at the car key in his hand and said, “I’m going to register the vehicle, it might take a few minutes. Do you want to wait or come with me?”
The gated community was quite safe.
This community was the safest place in Jinling; even intelligence personnel from other countries would have trouble entering.
“I’ll just stay here. Remember to pick me up tomorrow. I don’t have any plans tonight, so I won’t need the car.”
Wang Peng nodded and said, “Okay then, I’ll head off then.”
“Sure... Remember to not modify the car too much, just a little,” said Lu Zhou with a worried look on his face.
Wang Peng looked at how nervous Lu Zhou was, and he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll bring it back the exact same way.”
“I’ll hold you to that!”
Lu Zhou gave a reluctant look at his brand new sports car. He then turned around and walked back to his mansion.
After returning home, he threw his trench coat on the couch and saw Xiao Ai flying over. He told Xiao Ai to make him a cup of coffee. He then went upstairs to his study room.
It had been a while since he uploaded his thesis, so the entire world probably knew about his mathematics thesis at this point.
However, the only opinion he cared about was from Annual Mathematics.
Normally, a thesis review would take a long time, but he directly submitted it to the editorial department’s email, therefore he skipped the general procedure.
He went on his computer and saw an unopened email in his mailbox.
Unsurprisingly, it was from the editorial department of Annual Mathematics.
[Dear Professor Lu, we have received your thesis manuscript. I would like to thank you for choosing us as your publisher. The thesis is in peer review, but as you know, there are very few scholars in your field of research. We are currently contacting an appropriate reviewer. We will notify you of any updates.]
There hadn’t been any progress regarding the critical zone research for more than a century. Even though there were a few people researching Riemann’s hypothesis, very few people chose this as their research direction.
However, this hypothesis was still quite important in the field of analytic number theory. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been named the Quasi Riemann hypothesis.
Basically, if a scholar could solve this problem, they would undoubtedly receive a Fields Medal.
For more than a century, no one had been able to increase the right boundary limit of the critical zone, even by a little. A lot of people thought that this proof idea was not feasible, but now, someone suddenly proved Re (s) = 1-ε (ε→ 0), which proved that the critical boundary band could be moved!
What did this mean?
For ordinary people, this might not mean much.
But this was huge for the mathematics community!
Therefore, it wasn’t easy to find a reviewer.
Because of Lu Zhou’s connections in the academic community, it was difficult to find an appropriate reviewer who didn’t have any conflicts of interest...
Therefore, it seemed like the ill-tempered Professor Faltings was the best choice. Also, Faltings happened to be in the field of algebraic geometry and analytic number theory...
However, this still depended on whether or not Faltings had the time to review.
After all, reviewing a thesis like this was no piece of cake...
“Hope that Faltings has the time to review my thesis.”
The door gently opened, and a drone holding a steaming cup of coffee steadily flew inside.
[Master, your coffee. (๑•̀ᄇ•́)]
“Put it on the table.”
[Okay, Master. (•̀∀•́)]
The drone landed steadily on the corner of the desk. Its retractable arm then placed down the coffee.
The bottom right corner of Lu Zhou’s screen read: [Please enjoy (* / ω\\ *)]. Lu Zhou smiled and picked up his coffee, taking a sip.
“Thanks, it’s delicious.”
Lu Zhou placed the coffee on the table. He then dragged the email to his recycling bin.
He was able to close his email and continue his unfinished research, which was to extend the value of ε towards 1/2. However, an email suddenly appeared in his mailbox.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and clicked on the email.
He noticed the familiar email address and held his breath.
[Professor, are you researching Riemann’s hypothesis?]
