Compared with the academic atmosphere and level, there is no comparison between the current Tokyo Imperial University and European universities. It should be said that there is a huge gap.
Not all of the people present were science and engineering students, there were many from other majors, and of course many people came to join in the fun.
Therefore, Li Yu cannot talk about anything too profound, and is only going to briefly talk about chat literature and the recently popular topics.
"Fractals and Chaos." Hantaro Nagaoka made the opening remarks. Although Li Yu is very famous now, when the people below heard that he was from China, there was only sparse applause, and most of them came from Chinese.
The Japanese's discrimination against the Chinese began long ago and will continue until a hundred years later.
It stands to reason that China, Japan and South Korea should unite like the European Union. Unfortunately, due to historical reasons and the obstruction of the United States, there is basically no hope in the short term.
——The key point is that the West does not want to see a united East. Li Yu didn't pay much attention to the following reaction, and directly started talking about the observation and calculation methods of Pluto, as well as the beginning of fractal theory.
But soon, someone started to move below.
"A pig-tailed Chinese actually gave a speech at the highest university in the Japanese Empire. How can he deserve such an achievement?"
"China Pig, stop acting and come down!"
"There is nothing more ridiculous than your theory!"
"Don't insult our sacred podium!" Hantaro Nagaoka angrily yelled: "Baga! What nonsense! Mr. Li Yu is my guest. He is the most shining star in the scientific world now. What qualifications do you have to speak against him? What achievements have you made?" But some students below were still dissatisfied: "I simply don't believe that inferior Chinese people can achieve this level. They should all be ugly smokers." Hantaro Nagaoka retorted: " So, the British Royal Society will be wrong? The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awarded the Nobel Prize, will be wrong?" One student said: "Westerners are nothing special, they are a second-class nation, and the Chinese are the worst. Inferior." Hantaro Nagaoka was furious: "Which major are you from?" The student said: "I am from the Department of Mathematics. Why, Professor Nagaoka wants to use his authority to expel me? I am not afraid. When the time comes, I will Just tell the media that a professor at Tokyo Imperial University has used his power to expel students at will." Li Yu had already guessed that such a person would come out, and was not surprised at all. He grabbed Hantaro Nagaoka and said to the students: "The level is high or low. You will know after trying it. Since you are in the mathematics department, use your poor mathematics knowledge to compare." The student dismissed it: "Chinese people are not worthy of comparing with me." Li Yu smiled and said: "Are you so afraid? No need. I'm worried, if you finish your studies well, your math level should be as good as carrying my shoes." The student's name was Kuda Takadai, and he asked excitedly: "How do you want to compare?" Li Yu thought for a while and said: "Of course you have to use high-level questions. Have you heard of the 23 mathematical problems raised by Hilbert?" Hisada Takahiro said: "Of course I have. I will solve them all in the future." This person said in a still tone. It's really big. Li Yu has seen bragging, but never such bragging.
But now Japan is indeed very swollen. Li Yu said: "There is a question about the Riemann Hypothesis, do you understand?" Hisada Takada thought for a while: "Of course I know, why, you want to test me on this?" Li Yu shook his head: "Since it is Bibi, of course We need to solve it jointly, and there is no need to prove it, because it is too difficult. Even I can’t prove it, and you can’t lift my shoes, of course not. So we only need to extremely simplify the problem and only need to find a few solutions. That's it." The Riemann Hypothesis has not been proven a hundred years later, and the difficulty is simply not something that the mathematical community can solve at this time.
Because of the results of Professor Zhang Yitang, the Riemann Hypothesis has now become an Internet celebrity problem. There is also a very interesting but absurd question that has attracted many people's attention to the Riemann Hypothesis, which is that the sum of all natural numbers is -1\/12.
In fact, if you study it, you will know that it has left the definition domain of the Riemann Hypothesis. Saying that the sum of natural numbers is -1\/12 is like saying that the result of 1\/0 is infinity.
——It seems reasonable, but in fact it makes no sense at all. What the Riemann Hypothesis says is that Riemann constructed a function, and then Riemann guessed that all non-trivial zero points of this function are on the straight line 0.5i in the complex plane.
In other words, the real parts of non-trivial zero points are all 1\/2. One more thing, the Riemann function contains a sine function. As we all know, the sine function is periodic.
So as long as the sine function takes a periodic result, it can be zero, and then we can get countless solutions, which is the so-called
"Ordinary Zero Point". This is not difficult at all, so it is emphasized in the Riemann Hypothesis
"Non-trivial" zero point. However, although Riemann gave a conjecture at the beginning, he himself did not find any solution at all... Maybe the great god is different, he has seen through everything, and can discover the rules of all solutions without asking for a solution.
In fact, it is quite troublesome to solve the non-trivial zero points of the Riemann function. The Riemann Hypothesis was proposed around 1859. Until early 1903, no one had solved it.
You must know that the Riemann function has infinitely many non-trivial zeros! One can imagine the difficulty of this problem.
Otherwise Hilbert would not have said: If I were resurrected 150 years later, I would first ask others whether the Riemann Hypothesis has been proven.
Kuda Takada thought for a while: "Just find the solution of the function?" Li Yu nodded: "This is much simpler than proving the conjecture. Besides, you spoke so loudly just now that it seems that you don't even care about the entire Western European scientific community. Here, you are not afraid of this problem, are you?" Hisada Takahiro said: "Okay, I will compete with you." Li Yu said: "I will give you three days, if you can solve one, you will win; for Fair enough, if you solve one, I have to solve 10 to be considered the winner, how about it? After all, I think you are indeed much worse than me in mathematics." Hisada Takahiro sneered: "You ungrateful Chinese, I will use IQ is here to crush you! Let you know whether you deserve to be ruled or not!" Li Yu seemed to be looking at an angry young man with militarism. He was not angry at all. He sneered: "If you lose, you must apologize to all Chinese people in front of the whole school. "
"Apologise? Why should I apologize to the Chinese people? I'm kidding!" Takahiro Kuda was still quite arrogant. Li Yu spread his hands to see how arrogant you will be.
Hantaro Nagaoka felt very guilty: "I didn't expect to invite you here, but it turned out like this. It just brings shame to Tokyo Imperial University." Li Yu said, "It's not the professor's fault." Masataka Ogawa also sighed: "There is such a thing in the school. There are also this kind of dangerous ideas, which should be paid attention to. Sir, you can go to Northeastern University and see, it should not be so extreme." The admission requirements of universities are not as strict as they will be in the future. The situation of Japanese universities is not bad, and Tokyo can only It is said to be the area with the most intense collisions.
After the show, Zhang Taiyan went to Li Yu and cursed: "These stinking red deer! They only care about people serving dishes all day long, and don't care about people's true talents and learning. Brother Li Yu, I have read your report, you are like this ." Li Yu looked at Zhang Taiyan's thumbs up and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Taiyan." Zhang Taiyan was surprised: "Do you know me?" Li Yu said: "Of course, Mr. Taiyan's name is very famous. .”
"My reputation is nothing. It's just using my ancestors' knowledge to make a name for myself in front of my own people. It's actually useless! I finally understand. I really want to defeat these red deer and foreigners. , only democracy and science." Well, as expected of Zhang Taiyan, he always sees problems decades ahead of others, and even shouted the slogans of the May Fourth Movement in advance.
Li Yu smiled and said: "Isn't that just right? Mr. Taiyan is not just a scholar. I think we are walking on these two roads." Zhang Taiyan laughed loudly: "You don't shy away from it." Li Yu said: "Did anyone else hear it?" Zhang Taiyan said: "It's interesting! Come on, just prepare some wine and have a drink with your little brother. You are the first Chinese person I have ever seen who understands Western science. You must get to know someone. Fan! You can't help but give me face!" Zhang Taiyan is famous for his great knowledge and bad temper. He dares to scold anyone. Li Yu said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful." Zhang Taiyan said with a smile: "That's not bad, you If you are disrespectful, I will have to take you there." The two of them entered a tavern, and Zhang Taiyan sat at the table very skillfully, kneeling down.
Li Yu had never received this kind of training, so he sat awkwardly opposite. Zhang Taiyan said: "I don't want to be like this, but I found that the Japanese are so obsessed with our ancient culture that they have to sit upright to eat and drink. And tea, my God, their tea ceremony turned out to be from the Song Dynasty He only drinks matcha and doesn’t drink Gaiwan tea at all.” Li Yu generally knew this: “When the tiger learns his skills, he will betray his master.”
"Otherwise," Zhang Taiyan is, after all, a master among masters of Chinese studies.
"I have studied Japanese Confucianism, and I can only say that they have only learned the superficial knowledge and have not learned the essence at all. Our Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, but their Confucianism only focuses on loyalty." Li Yu nodded: "What Mr. Taiyan said is absolutely true. If things continue to develop like this, it will be very dangerous in many years."
"I also have this worry, but it's a pity that the court doesn't understand it at all," Zhang Taiyan picked up the wine pot and poured some wine for Li Yu.
"Try Japanese sake. I don't have much energy, but there is no other good wine." Li Yu took a sip of sake and asked, "Why did Mr. Taiyan come to Tokyo Imperial University today?" Zhang Taiyan spat first: "Back at the 'Imperial' University, the Japanese are really whimsical." Then he said, "I heard about it from others, but I don't know anything about science, but they all said that the lecture was by the famous Western scientific scholar Li Yu, I came over as soon as I heard your name. It is said that Mr. Kang, who claimed to have "insight into the truth of the universe," also said to his disciples in Japan such as Liang Qichao and Mai Menghua, "Li Yu has achieved a little success, and he can Just listen." Li Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect you guys to pay so much attention to me."
"That's not true," Zhang Taiyan said,
"Mr. Kang seems to want to accept you as his disciple." Li Yu almost spit out his sake and coughed hard several times.
Zhang Taiyan pursed his lips and said, "Why, can't you bear it?"
"I can't bear it, I can't bear it!" Li Yu wiped his mouth and said
"I still have my own leisure."
"You don't have to be so polite. If you want me to just scold Kang Youwei, what qualifications do you have to be Li Yu's teacher?" Zhang Taiyan was famous for his ability to curse, and he had already broken up with Kang Youwei.
Then he said: "But you can enjoy the blessings by following him. He is really rich now." Li Yu said: "Overseas Chinese abroad have a harder time, and it's all hard-earned money. If you give me this money, I won't feel at ease." Take it for flowers.”
"Oh?" Zhang Taiyan asked along the way,
"Speaking of Mr. Kang, I would like to ask, which side do you think is right, the revolutionary faction that I belong to, or the royalist faction of Kang and Liang?" Liang Qichao has not yet completely broken with Kang Youwei.
However, Kang Youwei had already traveled around the world to make money, leaving only Liang Qichao, the most powerful man, to run the "Xinmin Congbao" in Japan.
However, after Liang Qichao came to Japan, he read a lot of original works of Western learning and found that it was not quite the same as what Master Kang Youwei told him before... But after all, he has not yet completely become independent.
So now the reformists are entirely supported by Liang Qichao, who is facing off with Mr. Zhongshan, Zhang Taiyan, Chen Tianhua, Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming and other revolutionary groups.
Li Yumian took a sip of wine and said directly: "The world remains unchanged, and things in the world are difficult." Zhang Taiyan laughed loudly,
"Well said! For these words, I also want to toast Mr. Xiao a glass of wine." The two of them drank it all in one gulp, and Zhang Taiyan said: "Kang Youwei bucked the trend, but he didn't know that the Qing court had long been hopeless and didn't want to think about it. How could those Eight Banners disciples be allowed to reform?" Li Yu said: "What Mr. Taiyan said is absolutely true. The biggest problem is that the minority rules the majority and does not recognize the majority as one with itself. This way of ruling is too Danger. The only way is for the Han people to regain power, otherwise the Qing government will still be more defensive against the Han than against foreigners. In this way, it can only tie its hands and achieve nothing." Zhang Taiyan's eyes widened: "I didn't expect Mr. to see the problem so clearly, which makes me even more impressed!" Li Yu thought to himself , this will be the most common theory in history books a hundred years later, of course I know it.
Moreover, Li Yu has seen too many similar tragedies in which a minority rules the majority, either completely destroyed or deformed.
The most devastating thing is of course the brutal internal fighting between the Hutu and Tutsi people in Rwanda; and the most typical deformity is of course India, which has been ruled by a handful of people for thousands of years. In order to maintain its dominance, it has continued to use the caste system for thousands of years. , which could not be eradicated until the 21st century, deeply restricting social development.
Of course, the current Qing court was very deformed in Li Yu's eyes. It was an incomprehensible miracle that the Qing court could rule for so long.
The correct approach can only be political consultation and peaceful coexistence, which was what Li Yu was like in his era.
If a minority group is allowed to take complete power, it will definitely get worse. Zhang Taiyan said again: "Why don't you, Mr. Ruo, join our revolutionary faction?" Li Yu shook his head: "What I want to do is to pursue scientific research, and I don't have any extra energy. Besides, haven't we already divided the work? Democracy and science, one person can do it alone." Road."
"What it means is that we can't walk on one leg." Zhang Taiyan is a sensible person and immediately understood, and then said,
"Why don't you cut off those troublesome threads? Look at me, how refreshing it is. It's like raising your head again." Zhang Taiyan cut off his braids in 1900, which caused a sensation.
In fact, in one year at most, that is, starting in 1904, many overseas students cut off their braids. After Zai Zhen and other senior royal family members went abroad for inspections, they also found that leaving braids was very indecent, so they basically acquiesced in the matter.
By 1905, when the Qing government sent five ministers abroad again, half of the more than 40 people accompanying them had already cut off their braids.
So Li Yucai was not in a hurry.
"It won't take long for me to cut it off, but there is still a long way to go before all Chinese people can cut off their braids." Zhang Taiyan held the wine glass again: "Sir, you have such a broad vision. What we have to do Just get rid of all Chinese people's braids!" Li Yu also picked up the wine glass: "Then I will work hard to get rid of the braids in Chinese people's hearts." Zhang Taiyan immediately heard what Li Yu was referring to and said, "What you have to do is better than what I have to do. It’s much harder.” Yes, it’s really hard.
