<h4>839 Don“t Piss Him Off</h4>
Three days ago, Chen Yushan had been texting Lu Zhou. She told him that the Electric Purple car from BYD had arrived, telling him to pick it up from the dealership.
However, Lu Zhou’s phone was turned off at the time, so he didn’t see the messages. It wasn’t until a few minutes ago, after he uploaded the thesis onto arXiv, did he have time to check his text messages.
Then...
Within half an hour, Lu Zhou was in the dealership, standing next to the cool ck sedan.
The salesdy was nervous about Lu Zhou’s security guard, and she tried to maintain a professional smile as she talked about the basic functions of Electric Purple.
After hearing her exnation, Lu Zhou immediately asked, “What’s the max speed?”
The salesdy politely said, “Max speed is 260 kilometers an hour, but you’ll never reach that on normal roads.”
Lu Zhou nodded expressionlessly.
F*cking nuts!
It’s crazy an electric car can go that fast.
This is even faster than Tes... Of course, this isn’t a production car, but still, this is pretty awesome.
Lu Zhou asked another important question, “What about its safety features?”
The salesdy smiled politely.
“The ss is bulletproof...”
“I’ll take care of that,” Wang Peng said confidently. “If it doesn’t pass our tests, we will modify it.”
Lu Zhou suddenly became nervous.
“Don’t turn this thing into a tank.”
Wang Peng said, “Of course not... We have experts in the department for this kind of modification. It will look exactly the same after it is done.”
Bullsh*t!
Lu Zhou hesitated for a second and said, “I have one request.”
Wang Peng: “What request?”
Lu Zhou awkwardly smiled and said, “Before you modify it, drive me around first.”
Wang Peng: “... Okay.”
...
Even though Lu Zhou wasn’t particrly interested in cars, every guy was more or less into cars.
Driving around a limited edition car was quite exciting.
Especially since Lu Zhou had just finished tackling a problem, it was time for him to rx.
Wang Peng drove around the Purple Mountain and the city center. Lu Zhou opened the windows on both sides of the car and let the breeze hit his face.
However, after ten minutes or so, he started to feel bored.
As expected, he wasn’t fond of luxury cars.
Mathematics was more interesting to him.
After Lu Zhou closed the windows, he took out his phone and logged into his Mathoverflow ount. He then looked at the trending posts.
Just like he had expected, within an hour of him uploading his “Quasi Riemann hypothesis” thesis, the discussion boards on Mathoverflow exploded!
[Jesus... I can’t believe it!]
[A few days ago, Professor Lu was still researching the π(x) function, right? Howe he suddenly changed his research path???]
[How many schrs have imed to have made a major breakthrough on the Riemann conjecture? Re (s) = 1-c / ln [| Im (s) | +2] is infinitely close to Re (s) = 1 when Im (s) →∞, so we can’t extend the right boundary toward the critical line at all! Can’t these millennials be more rigorous!]
[This is Professor Lu you’re talking about! Have you even read his thesis? He didn’t even reference Re(s)=1-c/ln[|Im(s)|+2!]
[I know this is Professor Lu, but Sir Atiyah has won much more mathematics awards! Mathematics research should be looked at objectively, the author’s background doesn’t matter! If he made this submission anonymously, no one would care!]
Lu Zhou smiled when he looked at thements.
No sh*t!
If some no-name mathematician imed to have made progress on Riemann’s hypothesis, no one would believe him.
You don’t believe me?
Just wait!
Interestingly enough, he saw a familiar name-tag on the forum—Terry Tao.
This was obviously non other than Professor Tao Zhexuan from Los Angeles.
Professor Tao’sment was interesting.
[I’m still reading through the thesis, give me a second, this might take a while.]
Professor Tao rarely gave ambiguousments on whether a thesis was correct.
If the thesis topic was in an area he was familiar with, he could often immediately find a disproving argument.
But now, this seemed to be different.
Hisment further heated the discussions on Mathoverflow.
Lu Zhou continued to scroll and saw some interestingments. He slowly smirked.
Wang Peng looked at him. He was curious about what Lu Zhou was reading on his phone. He knew he shouldn’t be asking, so he decided to concentrate on driving.
After driving around Purple Mountain, this beast-looking Electric Purple car stopped at the gate of Zhongshan International. A neighbor walking their dog looked at the car curiously.
They had never seen the car logo before.
Nor had they seen the car model before.
This wasn’t unusual forymen, but for car enthusiasts, it was like they had discovered a new continent. They took out their phones and began taking photos.
However...
When they saw the person getting off the car, the neighbors quietly put their phone away.
Oh Jesus, it’s that guy...
Taking photos of normal celebrities was fine.
Even B-list celebrities weren’t a big deal in this gatedmunity.
But when it came to Lu Zhou...
They didn’t dare to mess with him...
