Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 2 Life is a must-answer question

The scene before my eyes was extremely strange.

The suffocating feeling of the scene made Lu Shan break out in a cold sweat.

A solemn and sacred voice rang in my ears:
【Lu Shan, male, 17 years old. 】

[Academic and technology points: 0]

【Academic works and technological products: 0】

[Newbie Gift: Select a Heroic Spirit once. ]

Then, the rotating tombstone in the sky slowly fell down and surrounded Lu Shan.

Some of the tombstones have clear inscriptions - Zu Chongzhi, Alan Mathison Turing, Robert Noyce, John von Neumann, Christian Goldbach, Bernhard Riemann, etc.

Lu Shan also seemed to see the names of Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and others.

Lu Shan held his breath and directly chose Albert Einstein.

[Newbies cannot choose scientist spirits as gifts, they can only be drawn randomly]

Just when Lu Shan hadn't reacted yet.

All the tombstones stopped rotating, and all of them disappeared except the one in front of Lu Shan.

只见墓碑上用法文写着亨利·庞加莱（1854年4月29日—1912年7月17日)（印有照片）。

A famous French mathematician, astromechanicist, mathematical physicist, philosopher of science...he is known as the world's last universal mathematical genius.

Lu Shan couldn't help swallowing.

He was extremely obsessed with mathematics. Although he could not understand the French introduction to him, he knew Poincare's French name and the most classic photo of him wearing glasses and a beard!

This great man is recognized as the founder of combinatorial topology. Before the discovery of higher-order homotopy groups, the development of topology was entirely based on Poincare's ideas and methods.

This big shot also proposed the famous Poincare conjecture.

In 2000, the Poincare conjecture was selected by the Clay Mathematics Institute in the United States as one of the seven thousand-year-old world mathematical problems. Anyone who can solve any one of them will be awarded a million dollars.

What a pity! What a pity!
Last year, in 2006, Perelman's proof solved the Poincaré conjecture. Otherwise, if Lu Shan had asked Poincaré more questions and asked Poincaré to think more about it and solve the problem he raised, would he have got the one million meter knife?

Poincare's tombstone shattered after it hit the ground, and a middle-aged man with glasses and a big beard slowly stood up from the ground.

[Consume 1 times of selections to obtain the scientist Heroic Spirit: Henri Poincare]

[Heroic Spirit Stay Duration: Three months (real world time), academic and technological points can be used to extend the stay]

[The next time you draw a heroic spirit, you will need 1000 points]

The surrounding black space gradually faded away and turned into a simple laboratory of 10 square meters.

[Laboratory: LV0, simple laboratory]

The laboratory only had a simple table and chairs, and a single bed.

When Poincare saw Lu Shan, he bowed politely and said in slow French: "You have given me new life. I am very happy to come to the laboratory to do some research."

“Life is short, but the universe is amazing.”

Poincare looked at Lu Shan, and it was obvious that Lu Shan didn't understand a word he said because the other party was speaking French.

Lu Shan had no choice but to speak to Poincare in English with a strong Jiangcheng County accent: "Mr. Henry, I have just entered this space as well."

"We're still figuring out some things. You... you take a rest first."

Most French people can speak English fluently.

Lu Shan guessed correctly that Poincare understood English.

Poincare began to say something to Lu Shan with some excitement, but apart from some simple words, Lu Shan could not understand a word.

However, the system introduced the situation of the laboratory to Lu Shan. The name of the laboratory is Singularity Laboratory, and its purpose is to recruit the greatest scientists in human history who have passed away to explore the truth of the universe.

There are three operating theorems of the laboratory.

【Theorem 1: The location of the Singularity Lab is another universe that humans cannot understand. After the master enters the Singularity Lab, real time will stagnate. After the master leaves the Singularity Lab, the speed of time in the Singularity Lab is the same as that in the real world.】

[Theorem 2: Academic and technological points are the basis for the operation of the laboratory. In addition to being able to summon scientist spirits, they can also be used to redeem the number of times you can enter the laboratory, extend the length of time a scientist stays in the laboratory, bring real-world items into the laboratory, expand or renovate the laboratory, etc.]

As for how to obtain academic and technological points, Lu Shan needs to explore it himself.

【Theorem 3: When you understand the truth of the universe, the laboratory will become a singularity. 】

The laboratory is magical, so magical that Lu Shan can summon the spirits of deceased scientists.

But the laboratory was very ordinary, so Lu Shan and Poincare could not understand each other's language and could not translate instantly.

Just when Lu Shan was about to ask Poincare some mathematical questions.

[The experience time is up, exit the lab, and redeem points for the next time you enter the lab. ]

Lu Shan woke up and was still in the classroom office. Lin Yan cried and begged Director Liao and Teacher Wang to give her son another chance.

Director Liao impatiently tried to break free from Lin Yan's hand.

Lu Shan smiled.

We have been reborn and we have the Singularity Laboratory, so what is there to be afraid of?
The initiative must be in your own hands.

After Lu Shan persuaded his mother, he said, "Director Liao, you said in the meeting that the school will reward 1,000 yuan to the provincial first prize winner of the mathematics league, and the Jiangyang Provincial and Jiangzhou Municipal Education Bureaus will each reward 1,000 yuan, for a total of 3,000 yuan."

"Director Liao, give me three thousand yuan and I'll quit and sign up for an English tutoring class."

Lu Shan's words stunned everyone.

Teacher Wang thought Lu Shan would argue for his point, but he didn't expect him to compromise so easily.

Wang Yongxiang also felt very sorry. He had fought for Lu Shan and mentioned that Lu Shan had used a more advanced solution to one of the competition questions, and the result was different from the standard answer, so he was deducted points and ended up in fifth place in the competition.

But this explanation pales in comparison to the real scores.

Director Liao looked unhappy.

He just mentioned it casually at the time and didn't expect Lu Shan to remember it so clearly.

There is indeed such an award at the provincial and municipal levels, but the school decided not to give it to students but to share it among teachers instead. After all, teachers also work hard.

Seeing that Director Liao wanted to explain something, Lu Shan said, "If you don't give me the money, I won't withdraw. I will go to the Education Bureau and the competition organizing committee this afternoon to ask whether the CMO Winter Camp will focus on math competition results or English results."

Wang Yongxiang was confused.

In his impression, Lu Shan is an introverted child with low self-esteem. He is usually taciturn and immersed in his own world. This is not the case.

Wang Yongxiang didn't know that Lu Shan had experienced a lifetime of loneliness and failure, and already knew the rules of survival in this world.

If you suffer a loss, you will suffer for the rest of your life.

If you can endure the most hardship, your life will be more painful.

Lu Shan wanted money because he knew that his family’s current financial situation was too bad!

The prerequisite for engaging in academic and scientific research is to have enough food to eat and eat well, so that your family can live a better life.

Lu Shan chose to ask for money, not because he would not attend the CMO Winter Camp, but because he had a better way - to find an after-school tutoring class to get a place in the winter camp.

This year's winter camp will be held in Jiangzhou City. According to the rules, the organizing committee will consider giving Jiangzhou City more places to participate. A small number of these places will go to the schools, and most of them will go to the competition training classes.

After-school tutoring classes may have more places available than schools.

There are no multiple-choice questions in life, all are compulsory questions.
