  Chapter 380 The second gust of wind!

   In 2022.

   Although Weibo and Tieba have long been criticized as 'women's restroom' and 'men's restroom', they despise and diss each other.

  But no one can deny that

  These two platforms have quite a few users.

  For live people on online platforms, monthly active MAU and daily active DAU are generally used to describe the statistics.

  How to calculate each platform will have its own algorithm, such as the number of times the app is opened, the total usage time, etc., which are generally relatively objective.

  Basically, a platform with more than 100 million daily active users can be said to be a national platform.

  For example, the DAU of WeChat is close to 900 million, and the DAU of King of Glory is basically 80 million.

  The MAU of the China Literature platform is 220 million, but this is the entire platform of the group, and the starting point of the main website is 119.8 million.

  However, the payment rate is less than 8%, only 8.1 million, what a miserable word.

  As for the DAU of Weibo is

  2 billion.

   This value is basically reasonable, after all, China's population base is really too big.

Of course.

  The DAU here refers to the users who are scattered on various topics on Weibo. Some celebrities have tens of millions or hundreds of millions of fans just look at it.

on the other hand.

  This kind of user base can also explain one thing:

   That is, there are still many normal people on Weibo.

  Naturally, this part of normal people also includes many relevant people in professional fields.

  For example, screenwriters and authors in the field of art.

   Such as doctors and nurses in the medical field.

   Another example.

   Enthusiasts and practitioners in the field of mathematics.

  Although there are not many people in the field of mathematics or engineering.

  But when it comes to professional content, they can often explode a lot of influence.

  For example, you can often see some forwarded chat records in QQ groups, and start with a report or paper screenshot full of terminology.

  Following the analysis of the two or three "Brother Dang" below with seemingly high-quality words, a Nobel Prize-level achievement appeared, and the speed and wide spread were astonishing.

  This shows that although there are many people, they still have a strong mentality of eating melons for cutting-edge academics.

   So fast.

  The remarks of Wang Tong and others began to spread quickly after they were released, and then something happened:

  They were labeled as washing the grounds of HKUST.

   "Crazy!"

  Looking at the random comments posted on his Weibo, the veins on Wang Tong's forehead were about to explode:

   "Wife, where do you think I washed the ground for Xu Yun? The deduction process of the Mersenne prime number conjecture is indeed all right?"

   "Oh, there is another person who said that the University of Science and Technology is protecting him. Do you really think that the University of Science and Technology will endorse such a student? Wouldn't it be easier to directly block comments and ban words if you really want to keep it?"

  Looking at the angry Wang Tong, Zhang Ying came behind her boyfriend lightly with a smile, and rubbed his shoulder happily:

   "A Tong, I told you to stay out of the game long ago. When you encounter this kind of thing, at most, just don't follow suit. Otherwise, if you disagree with the mainstream opinion, you will be hated."

   "In the end, you still don't believe it. What you say can be reasonable, now? You have a long memory?"

   As a little girl who often hangs out on Weibo and occasionally chases stars, Zhang Ying has a much deeper understanding of Internet explosions than Wang Tong.

  When Wang Tong told her that there might be something hidden about this matter, while she trusted her boyfriend's judgment, she also immediately guessed that the water of this matter might be much deeper than what she had seen so far.

  So she persuaded Wang Tong not to end at that time, so as not to get into trouble.

   It turned out that Wang Tong's top and bottom were as hard, and he insisted that he only mentioned the Mersenne prime number, not to whitewash Xu Yun.

Then

  The mob gave Wang Tong a hard blow.

  Looking at the comments that have been added to the 121st floor, Wang Tong's expression is still a bit puzzled or even aggrieved:

   "Honey, aren't these people unreasonable?"

   "Obviously talking about the facts, but saying that I'm beating around the bush to wash things up for Xu Yun, what's the basis for that?"

   "To put it bluntly, couldn't it be a scumbag who deduced this result? Character and ability are not positively correlated."

  Zhang Ying shook her head lightly, comfortingly said:

   "Give up, Atong, don't think about reasoning online these days."

   "Nowadays, once someone does something wrong, he must be painted black, and you won't even be given a chance to stand up."

   "As long as the content of the publicity does not meet their wishes, there must be inside information. I would rather believe gossip than believe in rumors, just get used to it."

   "Why not, let's do something interesting now, follow me into the house with Elbow."

  Clinker Wang Tong shook his head, moved away his girlfriend's hand, and said seriously:

   "Forget it, wife, you go to rest first, this matter is not straightened out, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

   Then he thought for a while, opened a QQ of a friend who graduated from the University of Science and Technology, and typed to ask:

   "Dog, why don't you ask me about someone."

  Seeing this, Zhang Ying curled her lips, and had nothing to do with her boyfriend:

   "Then I'll put on a mask."

  Actually, neither Zhang Ying nor Wang Tong knew about it.

  Wang Tong's seemingly angry approach is not an isolated case on the Internet.

  Under the onslaught of bulldozer-like rhetoric.

  Some people chose to delete the comment.

   Some people were not reconciled, and either started to learn about Xu Yun through their own channels, or directly sprayed back.

  People who choose the latter option don’t even realize that their behavior is approaching the image of Xu Yunyoujun step by step.

at the same time.

  HKUST campus.

   Department of Cyber ​​Security.

   "Dean Tian."

  Looking at the complex data curves in front of him, Wang Qingchen raised his head excitedly:

  "According to our analysis, in the last four hours, in the entry #中国科大列证证未纽约故素的结果#, there have obviously been a large number of comments from mathematics practitioners or enthusiasts!"

   "And we have captured portraits and found that the number of people who meet the definition of 'friendly army' is increasing significantly!"

  Tian Liangwei's face remained unchanged when he heard the words, but his fists were quietly clenched together.

   Although in theory.

  Only Weibo officials can grasp the behavioral portraits of Weibo users, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to obtain relevant data.

   But this is only for the "average person".

  USTC currently has Wang Qingchen in charge, and Huadun Biological Sciences has Xiaorong, the top three hacker guards in China. It is too easy for them to obtain some data.

  For example, #中科大公司报询证明Mersenne prime number's infinity# this entry.

   Not so long ago.

  They intercepted the Weibo database and designed two logics for this entry.

  One logic is to capture the historical speeches of commentators, and accounts that mention mathematics and equations are unified by default as relevant practitioners or enthusiasts.

  Although there may be errors in this approach, what HKUST needs is not precise measurement, but to analyze a trend.

   So it really doesn't matter if some people are misidentified or missed.

  Another logic is to screen whether they have posted secondary Weibo, and also set up some keywords, and those who match the keywords will be labeled as "friends".

Of course.

  This kind of friendly army is not necessarily a righteous person who really thinks that Xu Yun is innocent. They are defined as [users who were innocently angered by the Internet bomber and then posted a second blog to try to refute it].

   Among them, there may be a true friend like Wang Tong who thinks Xu Yun is innocent after he understands Xu Yun's personality, or it may be a truer party who fights against others.

   anyway.

   They all played the role of friendly forces in behavior, and that is enough.

  Wang Qingchen and others analyzed these data, and judged whether the relevant trend was increasing or slowing down by increment.

   As for the computing power of analyzing these data

   Naturally, it is provided by the supercomputer of HKUST.

   This is also a part of the so-called "power of the University of Science and Technology". For this reason, the University of Science and Technology even suspended two key projects to free up supercomputing time.

  After thinking about it, Tian Liangwei asked Wang Qingchen:

   "Xiao Wang, compared to the first four hours, how much has the specific ratio of "friendly troops" increased?"

  Wang Qingchen clicked on the keyboard a few times, and quickly replied:

   "Dean Tian, ​​according to the data, the current popularity of the entire topic is 1832145, which means more than 1.8 million comments or a single Weibo."

   "Among them, there are 22,344 Weibo posts that match the portraits of mathematics practitioners or enthusiasts, an increase of six times compared to four hours ago."

   "As for the proportion of 'friendly troops' who posted the second blog, it has increased by about 15 times."

   "In addition, if the influence of some popular science bloggers is taken into account, this ratio will actually be higher."

  Tian Liangwei nodded slightly.

  According to the fourth round of subject evaluation announced by the Ministry of Education and the Graduate Education Development Center, a total of 129 universities across the country have established mathematics departments.

  A grade is calculated as 100 students, and there are more than 12,000 mathematics students graduating every year.

  According to 40 years of accumulation, including various enthusiasts, students who have taken mathematics in college, returnees, etc.

  At present, the number of people in the country who can initially understand the derivation process of Mersenne prime numbers is probably close to one million.

  Deducting users who have not registered on Weibo, the number 22344 theoretically still has room for growth.

  Currently

  The first gust of wind has blown.

   But in terms of magnitude, this wind is not enough, far from enough.

  Think here.

  Tian Liangwei couldn't help but took a deep breath, looked at a middle-aged man beside him, and said:

   "Mr. Huang, let's start the next step."

  The middle-aged man surnamed Huang nodded:

"no problem."

   After speaking, he turned around, went outside and made a call.

ten minutes later.

Extranet.

  An account named GregoryMargulis suddenly sent out a post in English:

  【unbelievable! I received anemail from the University of Science and Technology of China. Ayoung Chinese named Xu Yunseems to have made achievements in the infinity of Mason primes. Myteam has passed the preliminary verification】

  In just ten minutes.

   This news was ranked among the top 30 overseas hot searches.

at the same time.

  Tuantuan in China also posted a Weibo, the content of which was a screenshot of this person:

  【Heavy news! The current top mathematician Gregory Margulis tweeted, announcing that he has received a verification email from the University of Science and Technology of China about the infinity of Mersenne prime numbers. Are we really going to witness history? 】

   This Weibo post was sent out.

  #Gregory·Margulis#This entry quickly boarded the trend list.

  This hot-searched airborne is certainly contributed by the University of Science and Technology, but it is also related to its content.

   After all, the person who tweeted

   Gregory Margulis! (In fact, I wanted to choose Tate at first, but unfortunately this one has passed away)

   For every math lover.

  Who is the greatest mathematician in history? Everyone may have different candidates in their hearts.

  Some may think it is Gauss, some think it is Riemann, and some think it is the person who calculated Hideichi Akai to be five meters tall

   But if you add the qualification "alive" to the word, then the answer is not much.

  Generally speaking.

  The easiest way to judge a person's achievement is to judge his honor, especially the honor of some top awards.

   Well known.

  There are three major awards in the mathematics world, namely the Fields Medal, the Wolf Medal and the Abel Prize.

   Abbreviated as F, W, and A.

   Some mathematicians have obtained any of the FWAs.

  Some have had both.

   There are still some who have won it all. These people are often called Grand Slams.

  There are only six living "Grand Slam" players in mathematics:

  Jean-Pierre Serre.

  Andrew Wiles.

  Pierre René Deligne.

  John Milnor.

  John Thompson.

as well as

   Send out that dynamic Gregory Margulis.
