Chapter 136 The Sweeping Monk
Outside of the forum, Su Hao would switch to berserk mode.
He devoured all sorts of obscure academic papers on the Riemann Hypothesis with such fervor that it was as if he were reading some mindless, light novel.
Meanwhile, the "Synapse" engine, which was silently burning through the lifespan of the graphics card while running in the computer system, was also continuously and frantically iterating and updating itself in the background.
The sandbox interface of today is no longer just a few geometric dots.
Instead, it has evolved to a terrifyingly realistic level of precision, vividly recreating the chaotic and hilarious ecosystem of a real school campus.
That black hole-like metric matrix continuously, 24 hours a day, frantically absorbs and accumulates massive amounts of new data that are increasing exponentially.
Even more outrageous is that the model for the distribution of queue lengths at the cafeteria's food serving windows, after several rounds of evolution, has become so closely approximated that it almost perfectly matches the trajectory of the massive crowds scrambling for food in real life.
During exam periods today, the occupancy rate of study rooms in the virtual world presents an exponential curve that is remarkably consistent with real-world logic.
Those tiny pixelated AI students actually get involved in trivial matters like "fighting for seats" and "fighting for food"...
Strictly based on their coded personalities, they erupt into extremely realistic friction and intense conflict!
The most amazing thing is that after countless bloody battles, these lifeless codes occasionally seem to possess a kind of social consciousness...
Miraculously, a "Nash equilibrium" of compromise, concession, and cooperation spontaneously evolved!
However, as a top-tier obsessive-compulsive disorder sufferer, Su Hao's vision has long since extended beyond this.
To forcibly label this crude aggregate, bearing obvious signs of artificial manipulation, as a "complete social form"...
It still seems far-fetched; at best, it's just a more advanced version of a virtual pet.
To completely shatter the dimensional barrier and drive higher-dimensional, more complex deep simulations, he must feed the system extremely large and precise high-precision reference data.
But this is the most critical bottleneck.
Su Hao was just a student after all, and he didn't have the authority or connections to legally obtain such a massive amount of data that was classified as core secret.
Left with no other choice, he had to settle for second best and painstakingly extract macroeconomic statistical values from those outdated document databases that had been passed around countless times.
Or they might simply arrive at an extremely subjective estimate based on their own observations while walking around campus.
Using this as a priori input, they tirelessly and day after day manually fine-tuned and aligned the parameters on the keyboard.
Even in this extremely harsh "millet plus rifle" development environment, with the passage of time and the terrifyingly rapid convergence of the algorithm...
The virtual digital sandbox built by the "Synapse" engine is still approaching the real campus ecosystem at a terrifying speed that would frighten even researchers at world-class supercomputing centers!
On the other hand, unexpected situations arose during the arduous work on the literature related to the Riemann Hypothesis.
"Huh? This is really weird... Why is it this person again?"
One night, Su Hao hand-wrote a document clustering analysis model tool that he created specifically to save time.
Furthermore, a secondary filtering process with the highest weighting was performed on the massive amount of literature and papers that had been scanned during this period.
As the progress bar reached its maximum, and the system weeded out countless low-quality papers, finally extracting the core, high-value literature database that he needed to focus on reading, Su Hao discovered an unusual phenomenon that made him exclaim, "How bizarre!"
In this high-value collection of literature that brings together the world's brightest minds, there is surprisingly a very obscure cited author...
It appears like a persistent ghost, frequently flashing in the reference lists of various sub-genres!
One or two times could be a coincidence, but this high frequency of occurrence is like a Trojan virus being forcibly implanted into a database!
Whether in hardcore number theory articles exploring the extremely abstract analytic continuation properties of the zeta function;
It's still in the process of trying to use big data to analyze the probability distribution model of prime number intervals;
Even in those imaginative, cutting-edge interdisciplinary conjectures that attempt to directly link the distribution of prime numbers to the chaotic energy levels of quantum systems…
Although these papers have different first authors, different nationalities, belong to different schools of thought around the world, and may even never have any contact with each other...
But when they encountered bottlenecks or needed to forcefully prove certain extremely tricky, marginal lemmas, these proud academic giants seemed to have conspired together...
They all remarkably consistently cited the early research findings of the same unknown scholar!
Su Hao followed the clues and quickly realized that something was wrong.
These papers share a single, and extremely glaring, commonality!
That is:
Without exception, they are all “non-consensus marginal theories” that are scorned by the current mainstream figures in the mathematics community who consider themselves superior, and may even be publicly denounced as madness.
In short, it's a bunch of lunatics quoting the same lunatic!
Who exactly is this deity?
Is he a hidden master monk in the starting village?!
The mouse hovers over and highlights the cited name.
Mikhail Olsen.
Su Hao squinted at the name. Judging from the spelling structure that smelled of vodka... this guy probably had some Slavic blood from the fighting nation.
Following the clues in the documents, Su Hao quickly found the academic address left by the other party back then:
[Department of Mathematics, Leslie University, Massachusetts, USA]
"Leslie University?"
Su Hao stared at the line of letters on the screen for a full three seconds, his lips twitching involuntarily.
What the hell is this some unknown, diploma mill?!
Forget about being ranked in the top 50; even at those prestigious global mathematics conferences, this name sounds like some low-tier, diploma mill...
It's a complete academic wasteland, a place where even a passing dog wouldn't give a second glance!
If you dare to mention this school's name at the summit, the security guards will definitely think you're a salesman and kick you out!
However, in a dramatic turn of events, the domain name of the old-fashioned academic email address left by the other party clearly pointed to the East Coast of the United States—
Massachusetts, a top academic center that boasts two behemoths, Harvard University and MIT, which almost monopolize the entire scientific research lifeline of the state.
If I had to describe it, it would be like a master of a demonic sect who, in order to escape the pursuit of the righteous sects, actually hid in a dilapidated temple between Shaolin Temple and Wudang Mountain!
