As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 103 Progress
After the meeting with the envoy from the capital, Perelman was on his way back to his apartment.

He wrapped his down jacket tightly around himself and adjusted the hat on his head.

St. Petersburg is unimaginably cold in January, so it's no wonder that Russians need vodka to warm their bodies.

Perelman could feel a deep romance in the system consisting of magic coin, Haber algorithm and Haber constant.

Connect the starry sky and magic together, and you will only be rewarded if you discover planets that may have intelligent life.

During the weekly meetings of the mathematics department, Perelman heard his colleagues discussing:
"Merlin asked us to find a planet that meets the requirements. Do you think Merlin has the ability to teleport? Although it sounds incredible, magic exists, so why is it impossible?"

"Wow! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Finally someone has written a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy based on his own personal experience. If Merlin's Travels is published, I will definitely buy it."

"If Merlin really publishes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, should Adams be sad or happy?"

"Be happy! As a science fiction writer, it is such a joyful thing to truly know the forms of alien life and alien society!"

"It might not just be A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, it might be A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe."

"Does that mean Merlin's journey depends on our mining speed? Hahaha!"

"No wonder Merlin would rather teach magic to the Blue Star people just to know the coordinates of the planet."

"I see the tone of the paper does sound like that of an English scholar. Could he really be Merlin?"

"Perhaps the ancient legends are true, and Merlin from King Arthur's time is alive today and has reappeared in society?"

"Not necessarily alive until now, but returning from interstellar travel all these years."

"Are there any famous magicians in our history?"

"Ours is called a wizard. Does Corell count?"

"Corell is so unknown compared to Merlin."

It is no exaggeration to describe the relationship between Russia and Europe as a love-hate relationship. In history, there were many intermarriages between the royal families of Tsarist Russia and the royal families of various European countries.

Therefore, the mathematicians present here are familiar with English legends.

We all heard of King Arthur, Merlin and so on when we were young.

"Who is Heber? I always thought Heber was a person's name."

"Maybe it's a companion Merlin met in the stars."

Countries that did not obtain the magic brain have been speculating about why Merlin wanted to teach magic to everyone.

Huaguo and America, who obtained the magic brain, knew the existence of the magic forum and had a better understanding of Merlin's intentions.

There has always been speculation about interstellar travel, and even America commissioned George R.R. Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, to write a science fiction novel about interstellar travel with Merlin as the protagonist.

Hoping to get some clues about Merlin.

As for how to get clues.

For this novel, titled "Magic and the Universe," America intends to strictly control the online copyright circulation.

The sale of electronic copyrights online is directly prohibited, so if you want to read it, you can only buy the physical book.

Then a positioning chip is installed in the spine of each physical book so that the whereabouts of each book can be known.

When sensitive people, such as astronomers and mathematicians, buy this book, they will be put on the watch list. Then we will analyze the people on the watch list one by one, identify the key watch list, and conduct investigations through various means.

The cost of this project is insignificant compared to the over-issuance of currency by America in the past two years.

It’s best if it works, but it’s okay if it doesn’t.

Perelman looked up at the sky and thought, "In fact, there is only one step left. Where is the opportunity to take this step?"

“I always feel that introducing directed manifolds and boundary operators is the right approach. Why can’t I glue all the previous results together?”

Perelman pondered until late at night, "It seems that the definition of the Goeritz group mentioned by Ivan in the previous meeting can be introduced."

After reading some of the latest papers from the Goeritz group, Perelman smiled and said confidently:
"I know what the missing part is. It will only take a week at most to solve this problem."

Perelman had previously lacked a mathematical tool that could connect his ideas well.

Three days later, Perelman handed the method to the special commissioner: "This is the optimized method of the Heber algorithm. Give it to the right person."

The commissioner looked at the other man's bearded face that still showed signs of fatigue, and subconsciously saluted:
"Yes, Professor! Thank you for your contribution!"

"I have no problem here, it's a beautiful approach, and introducing the Goeritz group into the problem is a brilliant step."

"Perelman is worthy of being Perelman. I have been engaged in the research of geometric topology for many years, but I have never thought of the cutting-edge methods in the field of geometric topology."

"It involves adding the center points of the galaxies to the Goeritz group. Then the problem is focused on the two-dimensional Heegaard splitting of the Seifert manifold. Every step is beautiful!"

"I think there's no problem. We can pass the message back."

Russia is a first-class power in mathematics. Although the country was in turmoil, the school of thought was still passed down.

In the past, Arnold wrote "Mathematics Problems for Children Aged 5 to 15", which included questions requiring the proof of Euler's formula for the Riemann zeta function and the Poincare regression theorem.

They are also very strong in applied mathematics. The crude oil market report they made in 12 analyzed the crude oil prices for the next three years without any error.

Of course, they had never anticipated the unpredictable changes in the commodity market in the past two years.

In 20, crude oil fell below 0 yuan, and in 21, commodities skyrocketed. One year is hell and the next is heaven.

However, the surge in crude oil and other commodities in the past two years has given Russia a good respite.

So when China cooperated with Russia to build a particle accelerator, China said, "Give me crude oil and natural gas, and we will use this to settle our cooperation." Russia said, "No need, I have money."

By checking the background data of the biological cloud, Zheng Li found that the cosmic coordinate system submitted by a fixed location in America showed a certain pattern, and the cosmic coordinate system was getting closer and closer to the mine.

Zheng Li realized that the American side had found the right route.

Because currently, it is not only governments but also major Internet giants that are mining. They also mine by submitting cosmic coordinate systems through supercomputers according to certain rules.

But their rules are meaningless, which is equivalent to looking for gold in the desert, which is completely based on luck.

The regular submission of fixed locations in America to the cosmic coordinate system is like panning for gold in rivers where gold exists.

Which method is effective is clearly shown in the data uploaded in the background. Zheng Li sighed inwardly: It's been almost a year, and you can finally mine more magic coins through your own efforts.

"What about China? How is their progress?" After seeing America's progress, Zheng Li was still somewhat curious about the progress of his own country.

I will add one chapter before Wednesday, and then another chapter on the weekend. I have been in a weak state this weekend and I am not able to add more chapters. Sorry.
