Genius Club Chapter 8 For Qiqi (1/2)
"That person's name is Lin Xian, right?"
Liu Feng swallowed the rice in his mouth, drank half the bowl of porridge in one gulp, and recalled Lin Xian's name:
"His accent doesn't sound like he's from our side. He should be from some southern province or city."
"Yes, like the ones in Suzhou and Hangzhou."
Li Qiqi nodded:
"I have a roommate in college who is from Suzhou and Hangzhou. His accent is somewhat similar to Lin Xian's. Hey, why do you think Lin Xian came all the way to Shanxi? Isn't he just looking for you?"
"Of course not."
Liu Feng lowered his head and smiled:
"I'm not a famous scientist, and all the research I've done over the years has finally been proven to be wrong... So I accepted Lin Xian's kindness, but I can't take something that has been proven to be wrong. Are you going to defraud other people’s funds for your research?”
"What's more, Teacher Qi Yan was right at the beginning. Even if the "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" is proven to be correct...then what's the point? This is a theory that has no way of being used in reality, even in There are no practical applications on a cosmic scale."
"At that time, Teacher Qi also joked that what I was studying was so advanced that it would not be too late to study the cosmological constant when humans can escape from the Milky Way."
"Actually, I still want you to continue studying the cosmological constant." Li Qiqi looked at Liu Feng who was devouring his food and whispered:
"I feel that such a beautiful derivation cannot be wrong. Maybe if I continue to study more, I can prove that it is correct."
Liu Feng sighed and shook his head:
"Mathematical research is not like running a marathon. There is no reason why persistence is correct..."
"Mathematics is so absolute. Right is right and wrong is wrong. As long as there is any method that can prove that this derivation is wrong, then it is undoubtedly wrong."
"Okay, let's not talk about this."
Liu Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks, turned around, took Li Qiqi's hand, and said with a smile:
"Today I saw the latest forecast from the observatory. It said that there will be a Geminid meteor shower on December 14 this year. There will be as many as 150 meteors per hour! The most important thing is that the moon illumination that night is very low and there will be no brightness. Moonlight interferes with observations."
"Although... this meteor shower is still very different from the meteor shower you imagined, it can be regarded as the largest and most spectacular meteor shower in recent years. Take good care of your body, and then we will go to a higher altitude to watch the meteors. !”
Li Qiqi smiled helplessly.
"It's December 14th...it's the end of the year, and the doctors said I won't survive..."
"Don't listen to the doctor." Liu Feng interrupted her and wiped the corners of her eyes that were instantly moist with his thumb:
"You can persevere. This meteor shower may be just for you. Don't give up, Qiqi."
"Um."
Li Qiqi responded softly and held Liu Feng's hand tightly.
…
The next day, morning.
Liu Feng put on a set of neat and clean uniforms, put on his schoolbag across his back, got on his motorcycle and went out, preparing to go to tutoring classes.
"Hi, good morning."
When he looked up, he found Lin Xian leaning on the low wall at the entrance of the courtyard, greeting him. …. .
"Lin Xian."
Liu Feng looked at the tall boy in front of him, stepped on the ground, and moved the motorcycle under his crotch:
"Do you live near here?"
"No."
Lin Xian shook his head:
"I came here specifically to find you."
"Are you planning to pay three visits to the thatched cottage?"
"Don't say that." Lin Xian was amused:
"What if it's done in one or two attempts?"
"Thank you very much for recognizing me so much, but... I'll tell you the truth." Liu Feng looked up at Lin Xian:
"The "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" is wrong. This is a fundamental error, just like 1+1 cannot equal 3. There is no situation that can prove it is correct... not a single situation. "
"I know you have good intentions in wanting to fund me. In fact, I also really hope to be able to engage in research in mathematics. But... the current situation, I'm sorry, I cannot accept your funding in good conscience."
"Although she is a little tired, Qiqi... actually can't spend much money anymore. The doctor has sent her home for treatment. You should understand what the situation is. We have experienced enough changes in these years. For me and both of us right now...any change is better than settling for the status quo.”
"You are wrong Liu Feng." Lin Xian looked at Liu Feng seriously:
"1+1 can equal 3 in many situations."
"Are you kidding?" Liu Feng had a complicated expression.
"Not only can it be equal to 3, but 1+1 can be equal to any number." Lin Xian said with a smile:
"1 kilogram of water plus one kilogram of water equals how many kilograms of water?"
"How many endpoints does a line segment plus a line segment have?"
"There are many, many similar situations. I am not telling you this to argue with you. I just want to say... The right or wrong of anything is not so absolute. Maybe it is wrong in itself. Looking at it from another angle, it is became correct."
"You don't understand mathematics, and I don't want to talk nonsense with you." Liu Feng turned his head and prepared to put on his helmet and leave.
Snapped.
Lin Xian placed his palm on Liu --\u003e\u003e
On Maple's shoulders:
"[What if the cosmological constant is not a mathematical problem?]"
"What else could it be?" Liu Feng looked at Lin Xian angrily:
"Could it still be a philosophical question?"
"It may not be impossible."
Lin Xian looked into Liu Feng's eyes:
"Have you figured out the answer to the cosmological constant?"
"No."
"What do you think the answer to the cosmological constant should be?"
Liu Feng thought for a moment and said softly:
"According to Einstein, it should be a very small number, so small that it almost does not exist. Even if it is placed on the scale of tens of billions of light-years in the entire universe, it is a decimal number with no fluctuations."
"Then what do you think?" Lin Xian continued to stare at Liu Feng:
"Einstein finally denied the existence of the cosmological constant, but that was all seventy or eighty years ago. You insist on studying the cosmological constant even though you know that Einstein has denied it... Isn't this right? It means that you actually do not agree with Einstein’s ideas and have your own understanding of the cosmological constant.”
Liu Feng also stared at Lin Xian, quite surprised.
The other party was obviously prepared. …. .
He felt incredible:
"Lin Xian, is the cosmological constant a very important thing to you? I would like to ask you... Everyone in the world thinks that the cosmological constant is wrong. Even you know that Einstein himself thinks it is wrong. Wrong...why are you so sure that the cosmological constant is correct?"
"Because I know the answer."
Lin Xian smiled:
"I know the answer to the cosmological constant."
"This is the funniest joke I've heard in years." Liu Feng turned his head away, not bothering to look at Lin Xian:
"If you really knew the answer, why did you come to me?"
Liu Feng was indeed very smart and discovered his blind spot immediately.
"For safety reasons, I can't tell you the detailed process and final answer yet. But please believe me, I can't go across half of the Dragon Kingdom to find you just to make you happy."
"I know you are thinking about Li Qiqi right now, but if you really think about Li Qiqi, you should think more about what Qiqi wants to see the most."
Lin Xian took two steps closer to Liu Feng and came to him:
"You two are now like O. Henry's novel "The Gift of the Magi", working in the wrong direction."
"What Qiqi wants to see the most is for you to cheer up and get back into research."
"You yourself know very well that constantly tutoring and delivering food will not change anything at all."
"You really can stand and talk without pain in your back." Liu Feng chuckled, turned on the accelerator, and let the motorcycle drive past Lin Xian:
"Then tell me, what else can I do? Can I cure Qiqi's disease, or can I send her a meteor shower? Do you know how long the doctor said Qiqi can live?"
"It's not Qiqi who hopes that I can continue to do research, but you. If continuing to do research can bring a meteor shower to Qiqi, you can let me do it for the rest of my life. But what can mathematics do for me right now? Apart from making sarcastic remarks, you can't What can you do for me?"
Lin Xian sighed and looked at Liu Feng:
"Qiqi, why does she want to watch a meteor shower?"
"Because she has loved it since she was a child. This is her biggest dream in life."
"Is that all?"
"Otherwise?" Liu Feng glared at Lin Xian.
Lin Xian didn't speak...
It seemed that Liu Feng didn't know that Li Qiqi wanted to wait for a meteor shower... she just wanted to make a small wish for Liu Feng before she died.
pity.
Judging from the handwriting written on that little card 600 years later...
Until Li Qiqi left this world, she could not wait for the meteor shower.
"Okay, isn't it just a meteor shower?"
Lin Xian opened the take-out box on the back seat of Liu Feng's motorcycle, and then threw the heavy document bag filled with ten bundles of money into the take-out box.
"What are you doing?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Feng was ready to take out the money.
However.
Lin Xian pressed his arm directly on the takeout box and looked up at Liu Feng:
"Stop tutoring and delivering food these days. I've bought your time."
"are you crazy?"
"Just stay at home and spend time with Qiqi these days, and then wait for my call."
"What are you waiting for?"
Lin Xian smiled slightly, stretched out his index finger and pointed at the warm sun in the sky:
"Wait for me to give Qiqi..."
"The next real meteor shower!"
