Just when Liu Meng was always looking for a solution to Goldbach's conjecture, Jobs was indeed looking for him everywhere.

Jobs made a desperate gamble and used Apple's remaining large amount of funds to develop the smartphone iPhone 1. The reason was that his daughter felt it was not fun to hold his phone. After the basic development was completed, she began to look for the patents. Fortunately, she avoided these patented technologies when designing products. As a result, a Chinese named Liumeng applied for more than 1,000 patented technologies, mainly targeting the appearance of the mobile phone, home button, multi-touch technology, the definition of the entire system and even the description of the online app store. This simply blocked the research and development direction of the iPhone 1, and it was more comprehensive than Jobs's setting, which insisted on cross-age innovation.

When Cooper, an assistant in charge of investigating the current existing smartphone technology, reported to Jobs, no wonder Jobs was so annoyed that he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak out. Jobs, who had always been very passionate and did not fear any difficulties, also got angry and cursed: "**, this is a stolen attack, this is a technical gangster."

After scolding, Jobs, who calmed down, immediately asked: "Let Bob, the manager of the technical department, come to see me together. We must find a way to avoid these hidden dangers. If we are entangled in disputes over these patented technologies, our Apple will really lose the opportunity to become bigger and stronger in the end."

Cooper said helplessly: "I have consulted Bob. If we avoid these patents, our smartphones will not be competitive and cannot be called epoch-making products. Moreover, this guy named Liu Meng is still applying for division of cases. In other words, even if we improve, he can continue to division of cases and directly say that we have infringed rights. No matter how we can't avoid these mines."

Cooper's work has always been satisfying Jobs, because he would predict Jobs' reaction before reporting on his work and do his homework in advance, which would save Jobs a lot of time. As expected, Jobs is indeed Jobs. From a poor boy who has experienced the rapid rise of his career, he rarely succeeds after a second entrepreneurship. After returning to Apple, he seemed to have found his dream and passion for entrepreneurship at that time, and he must once again attract the attention of the world. In order to achieve this goal, he invested in Apple's last capital to develop smartphones. This battle could not be defeated. Jobs quickly calmed down and asked: "I need all the detailed information of Liu Meng. The more detailed the better."

Cooper was obviously prepared. After a lot of effort, he took out a thick stack of materials and began to introduce: "Liu Meng, a Chinese native, was born in a poor countryside. He only showed excellent academic performance in middle school. After entering university, he began to be unique. He embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, which is not the most special. Obviously, he has unique abilities in science and technology. In the first semester of his freshman year, he solved the problem in number theory. He was hired as a professor-level researcher at the Ice City University of Technology. This person seemed to have long judged the future development direction of smartphones and made a large number of patent applications. He also seemed to know that our company is fully developing smartphone products. He has been to the United States and visited our company, Mr. Jobs. You have even seen him more than once."

"Ah? I've seen it?" Jobs immediately searched for information about this person in his mind, but found nothing. After all, he was long and he was busy with business.

Cooper continued: "Yes, that was in 2005. You met him once after we held a developer conference. Later, you met him again at our company's headquarters. This person was extraordinary. After leaving our company, he participated in the Guinness Intelligence Challenge program that year. He had a particularly impressive performance. He suddenly withdrew and returned to China after participating in three episodes. And what's very strange is that he disappeared from then on, and no one knows where he is."

"It's gone? No more school? Isn't there any startup company?" Jobs' interest increased greatly after hearing the introduction, but he still couldn't remember to meet such a young man. After all, he could see many talented young people in a year.

"Yes, I can't find anyone at all, but I just can't find someone. After my investigation, I found that he should have been hiding in the past two years and focused on solving mathematical problems. It is very likely that it is the Goldbach conjecture of the century-old problem." Cooper said slowly.

Jobs was very surprised and puzzled: "You can't find him, since you still know what he is doing? Cooper, can you forget it? You are not a gypsy." Jobs completely relaxed and couldn't help but talk about his black humor.

Cooper was embarrassed to smile and handed over a magazine called Nature and said: "Mr. Jobs was joking, so I naturally didn't know how to divine. When I was looking for the news, I found that just two months ago, Liu Meng published an article "Proof of the First Infinite Group of Prime Numbers in Pairs" in Nature, which caused a sensation among world mathematicians and scholars."

Jobs opened the Nature magazine to read the article published by Liu Meng, and asked in confusion: "What do you say that he is studying the Goldbach conjecture? Isn't it infinite set of prime numbers?" Of course, Jobs did not know much about such profound mathematics, although he also knew what the Goldbach conjecture was.

Cooper obviously expected that Jobs would ask this and replied: "The publication of this article has basically established Liu Meng's status as a world-renowned mathematician, and has successfully attracted the attention of the mathematics community. However, Mr. Liu Meng has never appeared. This shows that his ultimate goal is not this research at all, but just the intermediate results achieved in the research process. I asked a mathematician friend and roughly figured out the key points. Many numbers

Learning conjectures is a major problem in the century. Like the Riemann conjecture that has not yet been solved, the Goldbach conjecture, the twin prime conjecture is also a famous mathematical conjecture. Many mathematicians hope to solve the twin prime problem and then overcome the Goldbach conjecture. Liu Meng has achieved such a great result and has not yet appeared. I guess his goal is the Goldbach conjecture. If it can be solved, he will be the most famous mathematician in the world, and he is even greater than Wiles, who solved the Fermat's theorem."

This was obviously beyond Jobs' expectations. No matter which field, he could be the best in the world, he would not be an ordinary person. Liu Meng is indeed a powerful character. Jobs frowned as he looked through the paper, and said without raising his head, "Aren't you asking for advice from a mathematician friend? Explain to me what the twin prime guess is going on, and I'll understand it too."

"Price numbers are natural numbers that contain only two factors. Twin prime numbers refer to two prime numbers with a difference of 2, such as 3 and 5, 17 and 19. The twin prime conjecture means that there are infinite pairs of twin prime numbers. The twin prime problem has a history of about 200 years. At the International Conference of Mathematicians in 1900, Hilbert included the twin prime conjecture in his famous 23 mathematical problems. To understand the wonders of this problem, you need to roughly understand the distribution rules of prime numbers."

"More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid first proved that there are infinite numbers in natural numbers. This proof is familiar to all mathematicians. British mathematician Hardy also talked about this proof in his "A Mathematician's Difference". As mathematics slowly develops, people gradually realize that the distribution of prime numbers in natural numbers has certain rules. As the order of magnitude increases, the density of prime numbers becomes smaller and smaller. For example, there are 25 prime numbers within 100, accounting for 25%. Although the distribution of prime numbers becomes increasingly sparse, its sparseness is measurable."

"The distribution law of prime numbers shows that prime numbers are becoming more and more sparse in natural numbers, and the distance between prime numbers - on average - will become farther and farther. Therefore, the twin prime number conjecture seems to be more and more wonderful. If the distance between prime numbers is really getting farther and farther, it is not so obvious that there is an infinite prime number with a distance of 2. This seems to indicate that the distribution of prime numbers is quite random, rather than approximately uniform diffusion. This conclusion is averagely the position of one-dimensional standard Brownian motion in probability theory, on average, from point 0. However, it is similar to the fact that the distribution law of prime numbers is very similar to the random process. However, what is even more amazing is that the position of prime numbers is completely certain and has no randomness in nature."

Jobs listened carefully and asked: "The position of prime numbers is completely certain and there is no randomness. So why did you say that the distribution of prime numbers is quite instant?" Jobs was originally an extreme paranoid. He became interested when he listened to Cooper's introduction. After a little thought, he immediately became suspicious.

This is also a problem encountered in the Goldbach conjecture, which is why Kong Jidao understood the certainty of the discrete suspense theory proposed by Liu Meng in the number theory and determined that this was the key to solving the problem.

Cooper was embarrassed to shake his head, "I don't know this. I just wrote down what I knew and didn't fully understand. Sorry, Mr. Jobs."

Jobs didn't blame him, "Oh, it's okay, keep talking."

"And this magical Mr. Liu Meng proved that there are infinite pairs of prime numbers, and the difference is less than 70 million. Although 70 million is a large number, if the result is true, it is the first time that someone has officially proved that there are infinite sets of prime pairs with spacing smaller than fixed values. Since the average distance between prime numbers is getting farther and farther, there are infinite sets of prime pairs with spacing smaller than fixed values, which is the same magical conclusion as there are infinite sets of prime pairs with spacing smaller than fixed values ​​(twin prime number conjecture). It is worth mentioning that if there are infinite sets of prime numbers with spacing smaller than fixed values, then by taking sub-sequences, you can know that there is at least one number c (less than 70 million), so that the spacing between infinite sets of prime numbers happens to be c. The distance from 70 million to 2 is insignificant compared to the distance from infinite to 70 million."

"My mathematician friend said that if Liu Meng's result is correct, it is undoubtedly a major progress in the world's mathematics community, and the impact of the result may even exceed the work Chen Jingrun did in the Goldbach conjecture. It also means that it is very likely that Liu Meng will solve the Goldbach conjecture."

"Since it has been published, it's proven to be correct. What a headache." Jobs said with a smile.

"The verification of new results in modern mathematics often takes a long time. Because the new skills used and the professional knowledge involved are often too profound, so that only one or two experts in the world can understand it. The proof may be very long, sometimes as long as thousands of pages. Many mathematicians have to slowly squeeze out time to read other people's proofs. Even if the results published in top mathematics magazines are found to be wrong at some point. Therefore, many people, including my mathematician friend, are also doubting whether Liu Meng's result is correct." Cooper explained.

After hearing this, Jobs kept knocking on the table and thinking. Cooper knew that this was Mr. Jobs' habit of thinking. Standing on the side and waiting. A quarter of an hour later, Jobs couldn't help asking: "Since we can't avoid the patent barriers set by Liu Meng, we can only get his authorization. This is not unfavorable to us. Using these patents, we can block other manufacturers entering the field of smartphones. Haha, many times, unfavorable conditions can be converted into favorable conditions. As the Chinese saying goes, it is a blessing to have a loss."

Cooper knew that no matter what difficulties it was, the great Mr. Jobs would not be able to overcome. He smiled and nodded. In fact, he had already thought that Mr. Jobs would have a solution, and he just needed to investigate all kinds of information clearly.

However, he immediately thought of another unfavorable condition and couldn't help reminding him: "However, Mr. Jobs, now Liu Meng is isolated from the world. No one knows where he is. How can we get his authorization? We can't wait forever, so we will lose the opportunity."

This problem also gave Jobs a headache. Suddenly he jumped up from the table and turned around and looked for something. Cooper looked at it with a puzzled look. Jobs searched for a while but couldn't find it. He rushed around in a hurry and searched in the cabinet behind him. While searching, he muttered: "I know who Liu Meng is. I remembered it. He did find me and left me with contact information. This young man was very confident. He told me that he would definitely use it in the future. I just thought he was sensational. I didn't expect it to be like this. Damn, where did I put it?"

When Cooper heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

Jobs suddenly searched for a small box with miscellaneous items on the table, and finally found a note, and shouted happily: "Damn, I finally found it. Fortunately, I didn't throw it away at that time and threw it here." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
