Sun Demin was born on July 19, 1948, the eve of the birth of the Republic of China, in Sun Banqiao, Nanwangzhuang, Zhuandian Town, into a peasant family that had been digging in the soil for generations. Sun Demin, the eldest of seven siblings, seemed to be very interested in mathematics when he was in elementary school. He loves to think and is willing to study. Whenever the teacher asks a question, he is always the first to raise his hand to speak. One day, Nanwangzhuang Primary School organized teachers to attend classes. The fourth-grade arithmetic teacher asked an arithmetic problem on the blackboard: There is a square piece of land with trees planted on all four sides, and four trees planted on one side. How many trees were planted in total? The teacher taught the students that a total of 16 trees were planted. At this time, Sun Demin immediately raised his hand, stood up and said: "Teacher, you are wrong, it should be 12 trees." The teachers in the class talked a lot, and the arithmetic teacher blushed. From then on, rumors spread throughout Zhuandian commune that there was a student from Nanwangzhuang Primary School who could teach. In the second grade of junior high school, Zhuandian Junior High School held a mathematics competition, and Sun Demin once again won the first prize. When Sun Demin, who was dressed in shabby clothes, came to the stage to receive the award, the principal Huang Jinsheng looked at him and said to him in surprise: "How can such a young person win the first prize? This kid really hit the mark!"

After experiencing the "Post-Xinyang Incident", Japan and the country were in a period of national economic adjustment. In 1964, Sun Demin was happily admitted to the county senior high school, but his parents became worried. Father Sun Fengxuan had to suspend his two daughters from school in order to ensure that his son attended high school. The sensible Sun Demin had a premonition and made preparations for high school in advance. When his parents were worried about paying tuition for his son, he took out the 17.5 yuan he had saved by selling melons during the holidays and finally solved the urgent need. Zhuandian Commune is 45 miles away from the county seat, and there is only one bus every day. However, Sun Demin could not afford the fare, which was only 45 cents. Only 1.4 meters tall and weighing 68 kilograms, he had to carry six days' worth of rations - sweet potatoes weighing dozens of kilograms - on foot to the county seat every week. Once, Sun Demin was struggling to carry sweet potatoes on his way to the county town. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in, strong winds blew, and it rained heavily. 16-year-old Sun Demin braved the heavy rain and walked more than 40 miles to the county senior high school with three slippery steps. Sun Panzhong, a mathematics teacher from Kaifeng (later transferred to teach at Henan Normal University), saw that he was like a drowned rat in the heavy rain, so he quickly took out his own clothes and let him change into it. During the interview, Sun Demin seemed very excited when he talked about this, with tears flashing in his eyes.

However, the most unforgettable thing for Sun Demin was listening to Teacher Sun’s mathematics class, which was like listening to an aesthetics class. Beautiful things are always what people are willing to pursue enthusiastically. When it comes to beauty, what people most easily think of is the natural beauty of "so many beautiful mountains and rivers", or the artistic beauty of pleasing pictures, beautiful music, exquisite poems... these. People who don't understand mathematics know that mathematics, the queen of natural sciences, contains a realm more beautiful than poetry and painting. As the ancient Greek mathematician Proclus said in a very touching saying: "Wherever there is number, there is beauty." These seemingly ordinary natural numbers actually contain countless rare treasures. .

Endless numbers are just like the vast ocean, and the depths of the ocean contain a colorful world. When you swim in it, you will be intoxicated by the beauty of countless rare treasures in this boundless ocean. You may even be lucky enough to step into the Dragon Palace and see even more magnificent and colorful scenes, and enter the depth of the ocean of mathematics. Hall, a glimpse into the beauty of mathematics.

Teacher Sun Panzhong also told the students about the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. The mathematician believed that number itself was the order of the world. His famous saying is: Everything is numbered. At a gathering, a scholar raised his question: "When I make friends, does the number also play a role?"

"Friends are the shadow of your soul, just like 220 and 284." Just as close." Looking at the confused people, Pythagoras explained: God hints to us that all the true factors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110 The sum is 284; and the sum of all the true factors 1, 2, 4, 71, and 142 of 284 is exactly 220. This is the intimate affinity number. True friends are like them.

......

It was these mathematical enlightenment education that made Sun Demin like mathematics even more. Sun Demin lived up to his teacher's love. He actually won four first places in a row in the mathematics competition held by the county senior high school.

Two years later, the vigorous Cultural Revolution began. The abolition of the college entrance examination system has abolished the dreams of many students. In March 1968, Sun Demin, who had no hope of taking the college entrance examination and was tired of "closing classes to start a revolution," successfully passed the physical examination and joined the army. He served successively as a soldier, deputy squad leader, squad leader, and acting platoon leader in the 120th Artillery Company of the 580th Regiment, 194th Division, 65th Army, Xiheying, Yu County, Hebei Province.

In the mid-1960s, the former Soviet Union massively increased its troops on the Sino-Soviet border, worsening the border situation and causing a series of bloody incidents. On March 15, 1969, the Zhenbao Island self-defense counterattack that shocked the world finally broke out. Sun Demin's troops were stationed in Daqingshan, Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia. They built fortifications and practiced cannon firing every day in preparation for war. A tense and exciting atmosphere suddenly enveloped the troops preparing to join the battle.

When he returns to the barracks to rest from the drill every day, Sun Demin always lies on the bed and writes non-stop.

One day, a soldier in the clinic said: "Squad leader Sun, you have been tired all day and you don't take a rest. What are you thinking?"

"There is something wrong with the range table we use..."

p>

"What are you talking about? There's something wrong with the range table? You're not talking in your sleep, are you? That's stipulated in the military tutorial!"

"I can't explain it to you now. I'll tell you later. Got it, you go to bed first."

It turns out that during the live artillery drill, Sun Demin discovered that the artillery range table specified in the military tutorial was complicated and too slow, which would delay the fighter plane and affect the battle. efficiency. He lies on the bed every day and uses the tangent function to calculate how to reduce the calculation program in the artillery range table. The hard work paid off, and he finally came up with a plan to add one algorithm to the artillery range table. In live-fire shooting, it has been proven to be feasible, shortening the calculation time and improving combat efficiency. The company commander patted Sun Demin on the shoulder and said: "Squad leader Sun, I didn't expect you to be our company's mathematician! I want to take credit for you!" The news spread like wildfire, and the use of "Sun-style range shooting" was promoted throughout the company. surface". For this reason, Sun Demin was rated as a "military technical pacesetter", joined the party, and was promoted to acting platoon leader.

Four years of military career were quickly over. In March 1971, Sun Demin was transferred from the army and assigned to work in the Public Security Bureau of Huade County, Inner Mongolia. In June of this year, someone introduced Sun Demin and fellow countryman Liu Yunying to become friends of the Qin and Jin Dynasties. At this time, Sun Demin, the political assistant of the Public Security Bureau, seemed to have forgotten his beloved mathematics, immersed himself in public security work, and lived a peaceful and warm life.

In the blink of an eye, in 1976, ten years of turmoil finally came to an end in the great struggle between justice and evil, the great battle between nobleness and conspiracy; leaving behind a series of majestic, tragic, evocative and long historical scrolls. Artistically reproducing this historical scene has become an unshirkable responsibility for writers.

In 1978, when the publication of Xu Chi's reportage "Goldbach's Conjecture" shocked the nascent literary world at that time, literary critic Zeng Zhennan once exclaimed: "A man who has just come from It is really rare for an old writer who has stood up despite ten years of imprisonment and destruction to write articles without any trace of lamentation for old age. His bloodline is so strong, his emotions are so full, his tone is so high, and his literary talent is so beautiful! What's even more rare is that "Goldbach's Conjecture" appeared "neither early nor late, just at the right time." Therefore, Luoyang paper was so expensive that it spread like wildfire."

One day, Sun Demin suddenly discovered Xu Chi's work. The reportage "Goldbach's Conjecture" was like a treasure. He was stunned by Chen Jingrun's bumpy life experience in the book. He was shocked by Chen Jingrun's academic achievements, and his respect and praise arose spontaneously. Sun Demin, who has a strong nature and loves to make strange questions, drew endless power from this popular reportage and inspired his enthusiasm for studying Goldbach's conjecture. From then on, he dived into the numbers without hesitation. When he came home from work every day and left the housework to his wife, he took out the arithmetic paper and lay on the table, using his native methods to study prime numbers, screen them, and record these little elves one by one, trying to find out the origin of the prime numbers. law. Although the calculation paper is increasing to several feet high day by day, and although there is no breakthrough progress yet, Sun Demin is still very interested in this mysterious (1+1) and can't stop calculating.

"Demin, Lixia is crying in bed, and you don't comfort her. You keep calculating all day long. Will there be any results?!" Liu Yunying, his wife who graduated from junior high school, heard a scolding voice in the kitchen. .

"Lili, Shuxia, go and coax your little sister, dad is busy." At this time, Sun Demin was already the father of three daughters, and Lixia was less than one year old.

While eating, my wife said: "Demin, I have read Xu Chi's reportage, and I also know some things. I am not pouring cold water on you. You have not graduated from high school, and you have never studied higher education. Mathematics, you just want to solve the world's problems and pick the crown jewel of mathematics. Isn't that a joke? "

"Look what you said, radish and cabbage each have their own preferences, this is not me. It's my hobby. I know how many buns I eat. I don't need advanced mathematics to study it. I don't dare to think about picking pearls. Solving strange problems is my pleasure. I want to try..."

"Try? Chen Jingrun is a researcher at the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences! It took decades of research to come to the conclusion of (1+2). If you try to get the old one (1+1), let's If people know this, they will laugh out loud and say that you are overestimating your abilities. "My wife is also a somewhat educated person. If she doesn't tell the truth, who will tell me?

The couple each have their own reasons. Doesn’t Sun Demin understand what his wife said? He knows it very well, but he loves mathematics too much. He knows that the beauty in mathematics is not expressed in the image language used by artists such as colors, lines, melodies, etc., but in abstracting the laws of nature into some concepts, theorems or formulas, and through deduction to form a picture of the real world and the ideal space. Perfect image. Only the beauty of the inner structure of mathematics is more fascinating and intoxicating. Its profoundness, conciseness and thoroughness give viewers a huge sense of beauty. He was determined to find another way to find "Sun's Theorem" and "Sun's Formula" in mathematics to solve this strange problem in the world.

While solving Goldbach's conjecture, Sun Demin was successively transferred to the Huade County Party Committee and the County Government's Letters and Calls Office as an officer, a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee's Discipline Inspection Commission, and the chief of the Case Inspection and Trial Section. During the 16 years of working in Inner Mongolia, he insisted on studying Goldbach's conjecture in his spare time for 10 years.

However, "the road is long and arduous", and the "theorem" and "formula" to crack Goldbach's conjecture have always been hidden in Sun Demin's furrowed brows, and it has been a long time coming.

3.

In December 1987, Sun Demin and his family of five were transferred back to his hometown of Xincai County, Henan Province after 20 years of absence, and served as secretary of the township party committee in Hewu Township. It can be said to be "an iron camp and an official with flowing water". Six years later, Sun Demin was transferred to Zhuandian Town and served as deputy leader of the CPPCC Counselor Group. Some town leaders heard that Sun Demin was studying the Gothic conjecture and said that he was not doing his job properly and was just playing tricks! Later, Secretary Zhao was very open-minded and believed that it was understandable for him to use his spare time to engage in academic research. It was better than those who played poker and mahjong whenever they had free time. Maybe he would succeed, not to mention how much he would contribute to the country, but For our Zhuandian Town, its significance is also extraordinary. Therefore, Secretary Zhao tried every means to provide convenience for Sun Demin, which made him feel extremely warm from the bottom of his heart. With the support of his leaders and the understanding of his colleagues, Sun Demin eliminated his worries, removed his burdens, cheered up, and devoted himself to his hobbies. At this time, he was very concerned about the news media's reports on the discussion of Goldbach's conjecture. One day, he saw a lot of articles about the Coriolis conjecture in newspapers and magazines, which probably meant:

Since the late 1970s, mathematicians have discovered that using existing theories and methods, cannot solve Goldbach's conjecture. There is no theory in mathematics that can solve Goldbach's conjecture. Mathematicians Wang Yuan, Pan Chengdong, and Pan Chengbiao are looking forward to a new idea and meaningful discussion.

——The majority of amateurs have strong creative abilities, and if given the appropriate opportunities, some of them may become geniuses. Because amateurs are not limited by existing theories, they are more likely to come up with new methods and new ideas. For example, Fermat, the founder of number theory, was a lawyer. His fascination with science led him to devote all his spare time to mathematics and physics, and achieved brilliant achievements. Another example is the Indian young man Srinivasa Ramanujan, who was only 23 years old at the time. He studied very complex formulas and told the results to the leading figures at the time. Because he had only a rudimentary education, hundreds of his formulas were thrown into the wastebasket. In January 1913, Hardy, a famous professor at Cambridge University in England, saw the young man's work. Eight weeks later the author arrived at Cambridge University. Although some of his formulas were outright wrong, two-thirds were completely new theorems. He collaborated with Hardy to become a member of the Royal Society, the most prestigious institution in the world.

——If you are studying a subject that is no longer developing and the problems in this field have been solved, then a new revolutionary method is needed, and this method is more likely to be proposed by a layman.

Seeing this, Sun Demin was very excited, and he became more confident and determined to crack Goldbach's conjecture.

Late at night, everything is silent. Orange lights still shine through the windows of two small houses of less than 40 square meters located in the nursing home in Zhuandian Town.

Every night, Sun Demin stayed in these two small houses, swimming in the ocean of mathematics like a demon. He found that the beauty that mathematics brings to people is far more than the intuitive formal beauty that people say, just as the beauty of people is not only in appearance, but also in the heart. The profound essence of mathematics, the more alluring weirdness and boundless beauty, lie in the perfect harmony and unity of its inner wonderful structure.

He still insists on screening prime numbers. At first, he used the "inverted scaling method" to screen prime numbers, but it was not efficient. He then used the "3-7 sum chart" to screen prime numbers. He worked for half a year, but the efficiency was still not high. He also found out "2-7". 3-5-7-11-13 "Digital Table of Pairs of Prime Numbers" to screen prime numbers. More than 400 days and nights passed, and he transformed the "Digital Table of Pairs of Prime Numbers" into a "Star Chart" to screen prime numbers. In order to narrow the scope of screening, he found another way to find "pair prime numbers", that is, a number that cannot be divided by itself is called a "pair prime number".

Readers may feel confused after writing this. As the author of this article, I feel the same way. You can skip this "heavenly book". The author will also take the trouble to briefly describe this cracking process, which is the core part of this article. It is for the heads of relevant departments and interested mathematical authorities to see, in order to attract their attention and the recommendation of number theory professors, so that mathematics can be used as soon as possible. Verified by authoritative departments; if this result is the real "jewel in the crown of mathematics", would you still think it is a "book from heaven"? You can ignore it for now.

Back to the main story. In the process of finding "pair prime numbers", Sun Demin first searched within the range of odd number sequences, found prime numbers from the "pair prime numbers" of 2, and then removed the odd numbers whose single digits were 5, leaving the *** of 2 and 5. Same as "pair of prime numbers", and then list them into "sequences". At this time, Sun Demin was surprised to find that all the single digits 1-3-7-9 are the same "pair prime numbers" of 2 and 5. Every ten consecutive natural numbers form an infinite cycle; Then he listed three digits of 2 and 5 with the same "prime number" period, then removed the sum of 3 from it, and listed every 30 consecutive natural numbers, forming the digit of "2-3-5". * Same as the "pair of prime numbers" period, until the "2-3-5-11-13-17" is listed *** Same as the "pair of prime numbers" period, Sun Demin finally discovered the S formula and made a "digital table". Therefore, a large number of calculation procedures are saved to crack Goldbach's conjecture. Using this formula, one can go from finite to infinite, from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom, without being limited by the size of natural numbers.

It's like drawing a right triangle. Even if the right triangle is drawn as large as space, its right angle is still 90 degrees.

What exactly is the concept of S formula? Simply put, it is the discovery of the proportion law of "prime numbers" in the natural number sequence. It can be used to judge the proportion of prime numbers in natural numbers. From this, the conclusion of "the law of prime numbers" stated in "II" of this article and The final conclusion of Goldbach's conjecture of (1+1).

To verify whether the S formula is correct? Sun Demin also listed a list of consecutive prime numbers within 1.05 million, which he called the "six-digit prime number table". Through calculation, the correctness of S formula is proved. At this time, Sun Demin was not yet convinced of its accuracy, so he used the "jump screening method" again, starting from 96996900, extracting 30030 natural numbers and screening out 1658 prime numbers... As of July 1, 2006, when the author went to interview him, he had screened out more than 90,000 prime numbers for mathematical experts to further verify the correctness of the S formula. Furthermore, he revised the manuscript several times and completed what he considered to be a breakthrough academic paper, "An Attempt to Describe the Law of Prime Numbers and the Conclusion of Goldbach's Conjecture."

4.

September 16, 2003 is a day that Sun Demin will never forget. Because that morning, it took him 25 years to discover this belated discovery - the "S formula". He was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

"Yunying, Yunying, I, I..."

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" The wife was startled.

"I couldn't be more happy. What's wrong with me? I've got results!"

"Will people believe your results?" The wife knew it as soon as she heard it. The strange question about the world has come to an end.

"If I win or not, I will report it to the higher authorities." With that, Sun Demin called the mobile phone of his second daughter, Sun Shuxia, who was working in Zhengzhou.

"Hello - Shuxia?"

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Your dad has succeeded in a major scientific research achievement. I plan to Report it to the higher authorities!" Sun Demin, 55, who has always been calm and introverted, couldn't hold his breath today.

"Great, great, come to Zhengzhou to find someone to declare."

"Okay, I will go to Zhengzhou tomorrow."

No. The next morning, the weather was not kind and it rained heavily. Sun Demin took the handwritten "Conclusion of Goldbach's Conjecture" and his wife on the long-distance bus to Zhengzhou and hit the road. Along the way, Sun Demin thought a lot and made various assumptions about where the results of his research would go. As he thought about it, his high-quality snoring gradually became louder. The wife looked at her husband, who was sleeping soundly with his head on her shoulder, and thought to herself, Demin is really too tired. He has been married to this "enemy" for more than 30 years. He has no other hobbies. He comes back from get off work every day and stays up late almost every day "making trouble" His favorite is mathematics. Sleep, sleep, have a good dream...

After 5 hours of long and bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the famous "Green City" in the country - Zhengzhou City, the capital of Henan Province, and then transferred to a taxi. Chenzhai Oil Pump and Nozzle Factory on Beihuan Road. The second daughter, Shuxia, had been waiting anxiously at the factory gate for a long time. When she saw her father and mother getting out of the taxi, she jumped up and down happily to greet them.

"Dad, Mom——, you are here, I am really anxious!"

"This child is just impatient. How are you here?" Shuxia's mother explain.

"It's not bad. Mom, you are much thinner. You should pay attention to your health."

"It's better to lose weight and avoid the disease of wealth."

" "Shu Xia, don't bother your mother. How is the relationship going?" Shu Xia's father was concerned about his results report and asked eagerly.

"Yesterday you called me, and I went out to find out the reporting units and phone numbers. These are the phone numbers of these units." As she said that, the daughter handed the phone number book to her father.

The father said: "First call the Provincial Science and Technology Commission, the number is."

The daughter dialed the number and handed the phone to her father.

"Is this the Provincial Science and Technology Commission?"

"Yes. Who do you want?"

"I want to declare academic achievements, who should I contact? ?"

"Go to the Results Office."

"Thank you, thank you."

The comrades from the Results Office asked Sun Demin to contact the Chinese Academy of Sciences and informed him. telephone number:. After finally getting in touch, the other party gave me permission or contacted me. It was another difficult call. After getting through, the other party said: "You can publish it publicly." At this time, Sun Demin seemed dumbfounded. Where can he publish it? Helpless, Sun Demin stayed in Zhengzhou for two days and then returned home.

Half a year later, on February 18, 2004, Sun Demin, who was restless and unwilling to eat, called the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"The Goldbach conjecture I studied has come to a conclusion. Where can I verify it?"

"You can publish it publicly." A man said with a Beijing accent.

"Where should I publish?"

"Wherever you are close to the city, go and publish."

"I am from a rural area and cannot find mathematics. Magazines.”

“You can go to Xinhua Bookstore to buy mathematics magazines.

”

“Okay, thank you! ”

Sun Demin came to Zhengzhou alone, and went to the largest bookstore in Zhengzhou on Erqi Road with his second daughter Shuxia. They wandered around for two days without finding a mathematics magazine. A kind-hearted clerk asked They went to the bookstall to look for it, but the two men ran for two more days to fetch water with bamboo baskets - in vain.

In the evening, Sun Demin and his daughter went to check the public telephone directory again. The two men were overjoyed. When they got through to Henan Science and Technology Publishing House, they were told to go to the editorial office to find an editor named Han tomorrow. It was really a blessing. Sun Demin had met a good person and things had turned around.

Early the next morning, Sun Demin and his third son-in-law, Que Shuguang, took a bus to Henan Science and Technology Publishing House and found Editor Han. Editor Han read the "Conclusions of the G?rdlich Conjecture" that Sun Demin gave him and said: "This article is too short. , we were unable to publish. You can go to the Henan Education Magazine on Shunhe Road and ask them to publish it. Sun Demin, who had no choice but to follow Editor Han's instructions, came to Shunhe Road. An editor said: "I'm sorry, we don't care about you; our journal only publishes articles on teaching, and you must have this aspect." We can post articles. " Sun Demin thought to himself, everything they said makes sense, but I have no sense in making "conjectures". I'm looking for people everywhere to care about your bullshit "Georgi's conjecture conclusion". Is it possible that I have spent more than 20 years of hard work and ended up like this?

Sun Demin and his son-in-law returned to their third daughter Lixia’s house dejectedly. Without any time to rest, they immediately called the Provincial Science and Technology Commission and recounted what had happened over the past few days.

The other party said: "You have to find a national magazine to publish your paper. "

"Where can I find it? ”

“There are always more solutions than difficulties, and you will find them. "A baritone with a Zhongzhou accent said impatiently.

Sun Demin, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed and picked up the "Zhengzhou City Public Security Bureau Telephone Directory" on the coffee table. , and went to look at it again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found the phone number and address of the China Association for Science and Technology's reporter station in Henan. >"Shu Xia, then please accompany me. "

"Dad, take a rest, don't be exhausted. "

"I can't sit still, let's go! ”

The two men found the China Association for Science and Technology’s reporter station in Henan on Weier Road. Sun Demin handed over the conclusion of the Gordian conjecture - "Two Question Marks and a Pair of Answers" (original title) to a The personable male reporter looked at it casually and handed the manuscript to another more mature male leader wearing a pair of deep myopia glasses. The leader adjusted his glasses frame and said seriously. After reading the manuscript carefully, I repeatedly shouted: "It's so professional, so professional!" ”

Sun Demin, who stood aside cautiously, said to the leader: “I want to declare the results, but I can’t contact the unit. Please help me.” ”

“There is a mathematics society in Henan, please contact them. "As he said this, the leader went to make a call, but couldn't get through. The leader sat in front of the computer again and searched for the Chinese Mathematical Society on the Internet. As a result, he quickly found the Chinese Mathematical Society, which is affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The address is No. 1, South 4th Street, Zhongguancun, Beijing, Postal Code: 100080, Chairman: Ma, Secretary-General: Peng, Contact number:

Farewell to the well-wishers of the China Association for Science and Technology’s reporter station in Henan. After that, Sun Demin immediately called his eldest daughter Sun Lili who was working in Beijing.

“Lili? Tell me your specific address. I will go to Beijing tomorrow. "

"I'm in Nanzizhuang, East Fourth Ring Road. When you arrive in Beijing, please contact me and I'll pick you up. Is there any progress on the declaration? ”

“I went to Beijing just for this matter. Okay, let’s talk about it in person. The mobile phone bill is too expensive, so I hung up.” ”

On the ninth day of Sun Demin’s second visit to Zhengzhou, he boarded the No. 78 train from Wuchang to Beijing West alone and headed north to the capital. As soon as he was seated, he told his eldest daughter the train number and time. After speeding up The train was fast. Eight hours later, Sun Demin showed up at Beijing West Railway Station. When he was waiting for his daughter, he thought that the speed of the train was due to technology. Comrade Xiaoping's conclusion that "technology is productivity" was indeed a wise saying from a high position. However, in real life, how much do people understand Comrade Xiaoping’s famous saying? Why is it so difficult to apply for a scientific research project? The familiar voice pulled Sun Demin out of his thoughts and into the reality of Beijing West Railway Station. Lili, whom he hadn't seen for two years, seemed to have matured a lot, and he seemed to be a Beijing native. He got up and chatted and laughed with his daughter and rushed to Nanzizhuang on the East Fourth Ring Road.

Early the next morning, Sun Demin had a hurried breakfast and took a bus with the young man from his daughter's workplace. The old guard at Zhongguancun’s Hengxing Building saw the young and old walking through the gate and asked, “Who are you looking for? "

"I'm looking for Chairman Ma. ”

“Do you have an appointment?” "

"No. "

"I don't dare call him without an appointment. He is in a meeting. "

At this time, a middle-aged man next to him said: "Chairman Ma is on the 12th floor. "

Sun Demin and the others thought they were looking for someone, so they walked into the lobby on the first floor of the building.

I met a young man in his 20s and after explaining his purpose, the young man said: "Teacher Ma just left. Where are you from?"

"I am from Henan. It is not easy to come to Beijing from so far away. "

"How far away are you? There is a person from the Northeast who has been here for three years and still hasn't solved the problem."

"Teacher Ma is gone, I'm looking for Secretary-General Peng. What?”

“Teacher Ma has no secretary!”

An unidentified person said: “Teacher Ma has gone abroad!”

This is obviously Prevaricating people. At this time, Sun Deming could no longer hold his temper and shouted loudly: "The Chinese Mathematical Society belongs to China, not to Ma. If it belonged to him personally, I would not come to apply!"

< p>The unidentified person said: "Don't be angry, don't be angry! You can find two local mathematics professors to recommend you, that will do."

An angry Sun Demin said: "As long as there are The method of declaration is successful!" He turned around and took the young man who came with him and left. Back at Nanzizhuang, my daughter had prepared a large table of dishes and prepared two kilograms of Beijing Erguotou. Sun Demin, who had a limited capacity for drinking, fell unconscious after just three ounces of wine. When he sobered up the next day, Lili wanted to take him to see the places of interest in Beijing, but he said he had no intention of going there. The daughter was afraid that her father would get sick from suppressing the pain, so she asked for leave to chat with her father at home. Sun Demin was extremely bored and got on the train home gloomily.

As soon as Sun Demin got home, he fell seriously ill. This frightened his wife Liu Yunying, who hurriedly went to the town health center to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. It turned out that my husband had a severe viral cold and a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. The nurse comes every day to give her husband infusions, and the wife stays by her husband's side to take good care of him. Ten days passed like this, and Sun Demin's illness gradually improved.

Sun Demin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, still had "the desire to report" and dialed the number of the Chinese Mathematical Society again. No matter who the other party was, he yelled: "Excuse me - it's easy for me, the common people, to research something." I traveled more than a thousand kilometers to find you, but you didn’t receive me. The country is feeding you for nothing!”

“Don’t lose your temper, I don’t know much about you!” came the message on the phone! A girl's silvery voice came. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women; besides, a girl who just started working doesn't have the ability to handle this matter, so Sun Demin had to stop. It’s okay if you don’t accept me. I'll send you the "Conclusions of the Coriolis Conjecture" and a letter requesting verification. Please take a look at it. Thinking of this, Sun Demin sent a copy of "Two Question Marks and a Pair of Answers" (original title) and a request for verification letter to the office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ma and Peng of the Mathematical Society of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on March 13, 2004. On March 19, the same material was sent to the "Journal of Mathematics" sponsored by the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Mathematical Society at the same time.

Three months have passed, and the materials sent have disappeared, and there is no news. In order to verify whether they had received the materials, Sun Demin took the mailing receipt to the post office to check, and it turned out that they had received all the materials. It’s good to receive it, it’s good to receive it, and there is hope when you receive it. Sun Demin thought repeatedly in his heart.

On February 28, 2005, Sun Demin called the Mathematical Society of the Chinese Academy of Sciences again: "Excuse me - you have also received the "Conclusion of Goldbach's Conjecture" and other materials I sent to Chairman Ma. , why didn’t you reply?”

It was still a girl’s voice: “I am not responsible for the reply, I have to find the organization!”

“I also gave it to the Institute of Mathematics and the Journal of Mathematics. I've sent you the materials."

"Then you call the Mathematics Society and ask them to reply." As a result, the Mathematics Institute asked them to give a preliminary reply, and the Mathematics Institute asked them to call the Institute of Practical Mathematics. Give pre-reply. Sun Demin had no choice but to make the call. The other party asked stiffly: "What's the matter?" Sun Demin truthfully told the whole story. The other party also said: "If the manuscript you sent is useful, keep it. If you don't use it, return it."

"The materials I sent are more than a year old. They are neither useful nor returned." "

"Where are you from? "

"I am Sun Demin, a retired cadre from Zhuandian Town, Xincai County, Henan Province."

" You can find two number theory experts to recommend you."

"I am from a rural area, what should I do if I can't find a number theory expert?"

"Then I can't help you."

"..." Sun Demin was dumbfounded, and his fiery heart that eagerly declared the "conclusion of the Gothic conjecture" suddenly cooled down.

In the early summer of 2005, Sun Demin brought the application materials to the Xincai County Science and Technology Bureau. A deputy director in charge of business looked at the materials and said: "If you apply through the municipal bureau, you will have to spend a lot of money; It is better to go directly to the Provincial Intellectual Property Office and the Achievements Patent Office to apply in one step, which is safer, less troublesome and less expensive."

Sun Demin came to Zhengzhou again, but the Provincial Intellectual Property Office and the Achievements Patent Office were not there. Looking for it, I found Zhongyuan Intellectual Property Law Firm. The lawyer didn't solve any problems, but he asked for a copy of "Two Question Marks and a Pair of Conclusions" (that is, the law of prime numbers and the conclusion of Goldbach's conjecture). So far, he has not contacted me.

One day, Sun Demin went to the county public hospital to see a doctor and met an old friend named Han. Talking about his experiences over the years, Lao Han kindly said: "You might as well sell your results to a math expert and get tens of thousands of dollars, which will save you the trouble of begging your grandfather and grandma to run around.

"

Although these words were well-intentioned, they sounded awkward. Isn't this a blasphemy of the fruits of more than 20 years of hard work? Sun Demin felt an unknown fire rising in his chest, and gritted his teeth and said: “That’s so boring! I don’t care whether I publish it or not while I’m alive. But I must pass on the results of my careful research from generation to generation. It doesn't matter to me whether others treat me as a human being or not; but I will never allow others to treat my achievements as achievements! "

...

The story of Sun Demin and Goldbach's conjecture, so far, has not yet had a happy ending in traditional Chinese opera. This ending is not based on personal will. Traditional In the play, when the plot has developed to this point, it is time for the savior to appear.
