No language could describe or depict this process because the process was a miracle in itself .
However, Song Baicheng couldn’t see this miracle . He looked at Xia Lei, who didn’t move at all . The corners of his lips formed a sarcastic smile . “Mr Xia, you aren’t able to calculate it? It’s okay, you don’t have to force yourself . After all, this is a difficult math problem . ”
At that moment, Xia Lei raised his head and glanced at Song Baicheng . “Don’t use your IQ to measure me . Thank you . ”
“You…” Song Baicheng was annoyed .
Xia Lei suddenly picked up the pen to solve the problem . He was very quick .
Song Baicheng’s eyes widened in disbelief . He then unconsciously opened his mouth and was unable to close it .
This was not because of the speed Xia Lei was solving the problem, but rather the question itself .
This question was one of the seven hardest mathematical problems in the world, the Riemann hypothesis!
This mathematical problem was considered the peak of mathematics in the 20th century . It was also awarded by the Clay Institution of Mathematics as one of the seven hardest mathematical problems in the world . The mathematical problem was founded in 1869, but no one was able to solve it even after over a century had passed . The significance and difficulty of the problem were very obvious . But now, Xia Lei was solving an extremely difficult problem like he was solving what “1+1” was!
Before he came here, Song Baicheng stilled questioned the fact that Xia Lei’s IQ was 298 . But now that he was standing in front of Xia Lei, he felt like he was just a kid who had just learned how to count . If Xia Lei was a tall tree, then he would just be a weed under the tall tree .
After ten minutes, Xia Lei handed the A4 paper to Song Baicheng with both sides filled with content .
Song Baicheng was still in shock .
“Okay, this problem is indeed a bit difficult, but it wasn’t as difficult as I expected it to be . I solved it, but I don’t think you can understand . You should take it and go ask a mathematician and let him tell you if I have calculated it correctly or not,” said Xia Lei .
Song Baicheng finally returned to his senses . He looked at Xia Lei strangely . “That… Mr Xia, could it be that you don’t know the origin of this problem?”
Xia Lei rolled his eyes at Song Baicheng . “I’m not a mathematician who studies mathematics . I work in the military . I’m good at machine processing and electrical engineering . Do you think that I’m ball-breakingly idle enough that I would go solve mathematical problems for fun?”
Song Baicheng moved his lips . He wanted to say something but didn’t say it .
“Okay, I’m going to work . You can leave . ” Xia Lei turned around and entered the workshop .
The gate of the workshop automatically closed .
Song Baicheng stared blankly for quite a while before he turned to leave . He did not doubt that Xia Lei was the smartest person in the world now . The solution to the Riemann hypothesis in his hand was a piece of heavyweight evidence . With the evidence in his hand, he could now paint a perfect ending for his assignment .
After a short period of time, a Hongqi car drove out of the Thunder Horse Military Factory . It was headed in the direction of Jingdu district .
“Mr Z, he…”
“What happened?”
“He solved the Riemann hypothesis . ”
“What is the Riemann hypothesis?” Mr Z’s voice came from the phone .
“It’s like this . . . Because of the information from Fan Fan’s report about Xia Lei’s IQ, I asked a mathematician to find a difficult math problem for me . The mathematician found the Riemann hypothesis . For almost two centuries, no one was able to solve it . But he… He only used ten minutes to solve it . ” Song Baicheng’s voice sounded like he was sleepwalking .
The phone was silent for a while before Mr Z started speaking again . “Are you sure he had solved it correctly?”
“I’m 80% certain . When the mathematician handed me the problem, he had also given me some materials from other people who had attempted to solve the problem . I observed the process that Xia Lei had solved the problem, some of the content appeared to look identical . Of course, the final outcome will be judged by the mathematician . ”
“Let me have a look at the report that Fan Fan wrote, and the Riemann hypothesis that Xia Lei solved . ”
“I’m on my way there . Mr Z, I will see you later . ” Song Baicheng put down his phone and slammed his foot on the gas pedal . The Hongqi car galloped on the road .
Several hundred meters behind it, a motorcycle followed at a distance .
The rider on the motorcycle was the person who had solved the Riemann hypothesis, Xia Lei .
Where would Song Baicheng go after he left the Thunder Horse Military Factory? This was what Xia Lei wanted to know .
Although he had survived this crisis, he knew that this won’t be the end of it . As long as Bureau ZN exists, it will pose a threat to him . He must gather more information about Bureau ZN . He needed to know the location of Bureau Zn and what kind of people are in Bureau ZN . He can only beat his opponent if he knew more about them .
The motorcycle flew across the road .
Several hundred meters of distance was an absolute safe distance to follow . Even if Song Baicheng was even more cunning than a fox or if his anti-tracking ability was better than a special agent from Bureau 101, he would not be able to discover that someone was following him .
Not only did Xia Lei deliberately keep a few hundred meters of distance from Song Baicheng, but he also had a silicone mask on . His opponent wasn’t just Song Baicheng, but the entire Bureau ZN, so he had to be even more careful .
Ring ring ring…
Xia Lei’s phone suddenly rang while the motorcycle was speeding down the road .
Who would call him at this time?
Xia Lei took out his phone and looked at it, then answered the phone .
“Brother Lei, where did you go?” It was Fan Fan’s voice .
“I went out for a while because I have something to do . What’s the matter?” Xia Lei slowed down the speed of the motorcycle . He took control of the motorcycle with one hand and used his other hand to talk on the phone .
“I want to chat with you . I went to the workshop to find you, but you weren’t there . ”
“Let’s chat when I return . I’m driving right now,” Xia Lei said .
“Okay, I will wait for you . ” Fan Fan hung up the phone .
Xia Lei put away his phone . He thought, ‘What does she want to talk to me about at this time?’
Song Baicheng was indeed more cunning than a fox . Even though he didn’t discover anyone following him, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance and carried out a few anti-tracking methods . He drove around the area and circled the Jingdu district . He finally drove his car into a compound .
Xia Lei stopped his motorcycle three hundred meters away .
There was nothing out of the ordinary about the organisation’s compound . There were soldiers with firearms standing guard at the front gate . Behind the gate was a three-storey tall office building . The building looked like it was built in the ‘50s or the ‘60s and was very old . It looked like it had a green coat on, with Boston ivy covering the walls . The courtyard of the compound wasn’t very big, but it was full of plants . The plants were also very old . A lot of the trees were taller than the office building, just like a very big umbrella, shading the office building from above .
With the vines and the big trees, even a spy satellite would not be able to find this place .
Xia Lei’s gaze went to the sign above the big gate . “Jingdu City’s Meteorological Monitoring Center” .
With this kind of compound and the neglected-looking sign, even if residents passed through here every day, they wouldn’t give it a second look . They wouldn’t go in and ask what the weather would be like in the next few days .
If there was a warning flag about this place, then it would be the armed soldiers standing in front of the gate .
Was this the location of the mysterious Bureau ZN?
Xia Lei got out of his car and began slowly pushing the motorcycle as he walked forward . His line of sight was locked on the old office building . He was getting closer and closer to it and his left eye twitched when he got to the front gate . The walls of the office building were like snowflakes in the sun as it quickly ‘melted’ . The space behind the walls became visible to his eyes .
It was an office scene with staff members and office equipment . The scene appeared to look very quiet and efficient . The equipment looked very advanced and wasn’t something an ordinary company or office would possess .
Xia Lei started from the third floor, then the second floor, and then finally the first floor . It look him only three minutes to completely examine the entire building with his X-ray vision . When he looked at the first floor, his line of sight had suddenly stopped at an office . It was like his head was ruthlessly hit by a mallet in that moment .
Song Baicheng was in that office . He stood perfectly straight in front of a person .
Xia Lei wasn’t unfamiliar with that person . He had a very deep friendship with that person .
That person was — Ling Han!
When Ling Han’s face entered his line of sight, every bit of information regarding that person popped into Xia Lei’s mind .
Ling Han had first appeared with the identity as a special assistant from the First Office . During his fight against Mu Jianfeng and Ye Kun, Ling Han had been a great help to him . During that period, he had regarded Ling Han as both his friend and elder brother . But now, everything had collapsed .
‘When I started to come in contact the ancient alloy, my father warned me that some group already had their eyes on me . Now it seems like the person that my father was talking about was probably Ling Han . ’ Xia Lei’s heart was full of complicated feelings .
Who could he trust in this world?
Men didn’t care about loyalty because the weight of loyalty was too low . Women weren’t loyal and dependable because loyalty wasn’t attractive enough for them .
Majority of the people will be disgusted and disagree with this sentence, but this was the true portrayal of society .
However, compared to the pain that Liang Siyao and Shentu Tianyin had brought him, the pain he felt now was nothing .
Xia Lei’s eyes were locked on Ling Han and Song Baicheng’s lips . He read their lips to decipher what they were discussing while he slowly pushed his motorcycle forward .
“Mr Z, this is the research report, and the Riemann hypothesis Xia Lei solved . ” Song Baicheng handed the document envelope to Ling Han
Ling Han opened it up and took out everything inside . He first looked at the Riemann hypothesis that Xia Lei had solved .
“Mr Z, on the way here, I took a picture of the Riemann hypothesis that Xia Lei solved and sent it to the mathematician who had helped me . He saw it and said…”
“What did he say?”
“He said this is a miracle in the world of mathematics . Xia Lei used the simplest method to solve the mathematical problem that no one was able to solve for nearly two hundred years . He also said that we should announce this matter to the world . This would allow our country’s mathematics community to hold its head high and obtain the highest degree of honour . ”
“He is too short-sighted . Make him shut up . ”
“I have already warned him . He won’t tell anyone else without our permission,” Song Baicheng said .
“No wonder he was able to achieve those accomplishments . His IQ is 298 . But why do I feel like the answer isn’t this simple? Where is the problem?” Ling Han moved his gaze outside the window when he thought that aloud . He sighed .
At the same time, the soldier armed with rifles that are stationed outside the gate suddenly shouted at Xia Lei, who was slowly pushing his motorcycle forward . “What are you doing?”
Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and put a smile on his face . “Brothers, I’m sorry . My motorcycle suddenly died . It’s probably because of the ignition plug . ”
“Stop looking around and leave!” said the soldier coldly .
“Okay, okay, I will leave right away . ” Xia Lei sped up his footsteps .
He had been scolded by the soldiers, but he had gained a lot of information this time around .
