Find the smallest positive real number $k$ such that the following inequality holds $$\left|z_{1}+\ldots+z_{n}\right| \geqslant \frac{1}{k}\big(\left|z_{1}\right|+\ldots+\left|z_{n}\right|\big) .$$ for every positive integer $n \geqslant 2$ and every choice $z_{1}, \ldots, z_{n}$ of complex numbers with non-negative real and imaginary parts. [Hint: First find $k$ that works for $n=2$. Then show that the same $k$ works for any $n \geqslant 2$.]

Scientist have succeeded to find new numbers between real numbers with strong microscopes. Now real numbers are extended in a new larger system we have an order on it (which if induces normal order on $ \mathbb R$), and also 4 operations addition, multiplication,... and these operation have all properties the same as $ \mathbb R$.
