From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

There is no shortage of directors and deputy directors in Beijing University. If you take a tile from the teaching building and throw it casually, the person who hits it may be a super expert.

Xu Ji smiled, and pointed to another graduate student, "That one is also called Xiao Zhou, so we won't be able to tell the difference."

Zhou Wu touched his nose, "Then just call me by my name."

"Okay, let's get down to business, what do you want to see me for?"

Zhou Wu also stopped gossiping, took out the USB flash drive, and said to Zhou Wu: "Here is a paper, I hope you can take a look."

Xu Ji took the USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, and asked with a smile, "Oh? Did you write it recently?"

"No, it was written by a student. I'm a little uncertain, and I want to ask you to take a look."

Zhou Wu decided not to say that it was written by a high school student, because he wanted to see what kind of surprised expression Xu Ji would show when he knew about it later.

"Written by a student? Are you even sure?"

Xu Ji couldn't help being interested. Although Zhou Wu is still an associate professor, he still has academic ability to be elected as the deputy director. Of course, Zhou Wu is not a postgraduate tutor, so there is a high probability that this thesis is not a postgraduate thesis. Possibly an undergraduate thesis.

Zhou Wu: "In terms of number theory, I am not in this direction, and this student wrote it... Anyway, you can just read it."

"That's fine, I'll take a look."

Xu Ji smiled and nodded, then opened Zhou Wu's USB flash drive, quickly found Lin Xiao's thesis, and opened it.

As soon as he saw the title, Xu Ji knew that this paper was not easy.

Prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence?

Now they can prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the natural number series and some other simple regular series, and prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers in other complex regular series, which are basically still unsolvable.

The Fibonacci sequence is certainly one of them.

It proves that although this problem is meaningless to reality, for pure mathematicians, most of them don't care whether this thing is meaningful, and some mathematicians are even proud of the fact that the mathematics they have researched has no practical use at all. And despise the kind of mathematicians who study applied mathematics.

Of course, Xu Ji is not so extreme, he still has some research on mathematics and physics.

He glanced at the number of pages in this thesis, more than 20 pages, it seemed that it was done seriously, but there was only the name 'Lin Xiao' on it, and it didn't indicate which class it was from.

He flipped through the draft paper and pen from the side, and asked at the same time: "Have you read it? Didn't find any flaws?"

"Let's not talk about flaws, I haven't even found a soft spot." Zhou Wu shook his head and said, "I even have to look through the book for some things in it. This student's foundation is so solid that I feel ashamed, so this Come to see you."

Xu Ji nodded, didn't say any more, concentrated on reading, and at the same time calculated along the lines of thought on the draft paper.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Zhou Wu could still see Xu Ji nodding his head or frowning from time to time, and then wrote down a few more formulas on the draft paper to make the final calculation, then his brows stretched out again, and he continued to walk. look down.

All in all, Xu Ji didn't say a word.

If you don't say it, it means there is no problem.

In this way, around the penultimate page of the third page, Zhou Wu saw that Xu Ji worked out the brand new function constructed by Lin Xiao based on the ideas in the thesis.

Then he heard Xu Ji say with emotion: "Beautiful."

Obviously, Professor Xu Ji is also amazed by this brand new function.

Needless to say, Xu Ji quickly read the last few steps, and when he saw the last word "Zhengbi", he put down his pen, turned his head and said to Zhou Wu: "Which class is this Lin Xiao from? You ask him if he wants to be my student."

Chapter 54 Professor Xu Ji's Shock

"Ask him if he wants to be my student."

When Zhou Wu heard Xu Ji's question, he felt emotional in his heart. Judging from the situation, this paper is really all right.

Otherwise, Xu Ji wouldn't directly say that he wanted to accept him as his student. This is obviously very optimistic about him.

And considering Xu Ji's qualifications, and how soon he will be selected as an academician and become his student, the benefits are of course even more.

But, I guess Xu Ji will be disappointed now. The student who wrote this thesis has not yet become a student of their school. By then, he will have to go through four years of undergraduate studies before reaching the postgraduate stage...Of course it is not ruled out Lin Xiao skipped a grade directly, but no matter what, even if he becomes Xu Ji's student, it will take several years, unless Xu Ji directly accepts this undergraduate as his student.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wu couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Ji laughed instead, and couldn't help asking: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Wudao: "Professor Xu, this Lin Xiao, first guess what grade he is in?"

When Xu Ji saw that Zhou Wu was still playing tricks, he couldn't help but leaned back in his chair and said, "Senior? Junior? Or sophomore?"

Zhou Wu shook his head.

Now Xu Ji was really surprised, "Not even a sophomore? A freshman? Didn't the freshman only last a semester? There is such a powerful person in this class?"

Hearing what Xu Ji said, Zhou Wu laughed again. Of course, he didn't continue to play tricks, and said directly: "This student is a prospective freshman, that is to say, he is about to become our freshman. I haven't enrolled yet, and I'm still in my third year of high school."

"what?"

This time Xu Ji was not surprised, but unbelievable.

"A high school student? Solved this kind of problem? Are you kidding me?!"

"Professor Xu, how could I lie to you? I just saw this paper this morning, and I had the same reaction as you at the time. I couldn't believe it at all."

Receiving the expected reaction, Zhou Wu said with a smile: "This Lin Xiao was No.1 in the High School Mathematical Olympiad last year. It is estimated that he will participate in the IMO competition this year. He is indeed very talented. Now he can write such a From the paper, it also shows that he is far more than what he showed in that kind of competition. I guess, we should have another great mathematician with a long history in the School of Mathematics of Peking University, and in Huaguo."

Xu Ji didn't refute what Zhou Wu said, and he made such an astonishing achievement when he was still in the third year of high school, which completely shows that the talent of this student has surpassed those ordinary geniuses.

And only with such talent, he has the opportunity to become a great mathematician.

However, it still depends on its future development. If this student can concentrate on mathematics research and become a great mathematician, it may be impossible.

"The younger generation is awesome." Xu Ji sighed again, and then said: "Then he is still a senior in high school, how do you know he is coming to our school?"

"Oh, because he is the number one CMO, he was recommended."

"That's it, I see." Xu Ji nodded: "When he comes to school in the second half of this year, remember to let me know."

Zhou Wu nodded, then remembered what Lin Xiao said, and said, "Oh, by the way, Professor Xu, this Lin Xiao wants to publish the paper in the "Annals of Mathematics" AMS, and wants to have a quick review, so as not to wait a long time. The team of the month, do you have any relationship in this regard?"

"Quick review." Xu Ji thought for a while, and then said, "Yes, I have a friend from Princeton University who is familiar with AMS. I'll just contact you when the time comes."

"Then thank you very much, I will reply to Lin Xiao now."

Zhou Wudao thanked, and also felt that these big shots have a wide network of contacts, and they can find a friend to help them.

"Well, let's go." Xu Ji nodded. Although he really wanted to accept Lin as his student, he was still a high school student, so he could only wait for him to come to college first.

Zhou Wu went out quickly, Xu Ji took out his phone and was about to call his friends in Princeton University, but at this moment he noticed that his graduate students were all looking at him with curiosity and surprise.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you looking at? Are you done with the task you have given?"

The classmate Xiao Zhou couldn't help but said: "Professor, is that person really still in his third year of high school?"

"Didn't you, Director Zhou, tell you all about it, how can there be fakes?"

These graduate students in mathematics at Beijing University couldn't help but gasped in their hearts.

In the third year of high school, the mathematics annual is published. Do you want them to live?

Thank God if they can publish in the first district. If they graduate, they can publish two domestic core journals or important international journals, probably in the second district. They published a TOP journal in the third year of high school, which is still a top four.

This shit, I can't even envy you.

That Xiaoliang asked again at this time: "Then how difficult is the problem he... solved?"

"Difficulty? Do you think Goldbach's conjecture is difficult?"

Xiao Liang swallowed, nodded and said, "It's difficult."

"That's it. Although this is not as troublesome as Goldbach's conjecture, it is at least an unsolved problem in number theory. Just think about what it was like when you were studying number theory."

Several graduate students suddenly thought about their performance when they were learning number theory, and felt that they were hit harder.

They used to think that number theory was very simple, after all, they all studied integers, but after the professor gave them a few number theory questions, they gave up continuing to study number theory.

The deeper this thing is, the less it's for people to play.

Seeing the appearance of several students, Xu Ji shook his head with a broken smile. He didn't want to talk much, so he dialed the phone and got in touch with that friend.

……

On the other hand, after Zhou Wu returned to his office, he checked Lin Xiao's English version of the thesis first, and compared it with the submission requirements on the official website of "Annals of Mathematics". After confirming that there was no problem, he called Lin Xiao directly. up.

"Student Lin Xiao, your paper is sure to be fine, and now you can directly publish it to the Annual Journal of Mathematics. Do you know how to post it?"

"Thank you, Professor Zhou!" Lin Xiao thanked, and then said: "I know, the electronic version is sent directly to their mailbox, right?"

"Well, it's like this, then there's no problem." Zhou Wu said with a smile, "As for the review issue, you can also rest assured that Professor Xu Ji from our side will contact that side, and you The results of this paper are excellent, and the Annual Mathematics Journal will definitely be eager to publish your paper."

"Thank you Professor Zhou!"

"Hehe, you're welcome, by the way, do you know what Professor Xu Ji said just now?" Probably because of Lin Xiao's talent, Zhou Wu was even interested in chatting with Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao froze for a moment: "What did you say?"

"He thought you were an undergraduate student of our major, and said he wanted to accept you as a student."

Chapter 55 Send Journal

"Ah...Professor Xu Ji?"

Hearing Zhou Wu's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help being stunned.

Zhou Wu laughed and said: "Professor Xu Ji is the face of our mathematics department. If he is willing to take you with him, it will be very good for you. Of course, you don't have to think about it so much now. Take care of your high school. After the stage is over, you can think about it when you come to university.”

"Well, I see." Lin Xiao responded.

Afterwards, he chatted with Zhou Wu for a few words, and then hung up the phone. Lin Xiao became curious about the professor named Xu Ji, so he searched the Internet, and then saw his long list of honors and social positions .

I won’t talk about the outstanding youth of the Changjiang Scholars. Du Niang has to use several tables to list them.

"Boss."

I sighed in my heart, such a powerful boss said that he would accept me as a student, can I expand a little?

"Well, then reward me with a delicious meal today."

Thinking this way in his heart, Lin Xiao couldn't help but look forward to what to eat later.

Of course, before that, he had to send the paper over.

I logged into my QQ mailbox, and then directly sent both the Chinese and English versions of the paper to [email protected].

This is the mailbox for receiving manuscripts of the Annual Journal of Mathematics. Friends who are interested can give it a try.

Since the content of the article is only reviewed first, there is not much requirement for the text, and the PDF file is sent instead of the source file.

After the journal editorial department accepts the submission, the next work will be carried out.

These are all Lin Xiao read after going to the official website.

After sending the paper, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

After my thesis is published, will I have to give myself more scholarships when I go to Peking University?

To say the least, there must be a million. Didn't that classmate Liu get a reward of one million?

However, this is a bit suspenseful, after all, I haven't entered Shangjing University yet.

Of course, considering that I will join Shangjing University as a person who has completely independently published papers in the four major mathematics journals, I heard that I can generally be a professor at any school in the country with my level. Then maybe the reward is not just 100 million?

Lin Xiao couldn't help having beautiful fantasies about the future.

It's not shabby to earn money.

Although he has ideals and beliefs in his heart, but on the premise of not violating his ideals and beliefs, human beings are economic animals. Of course, he cannot let go of the opportunity to make money.

After fantasizing for a while, he did not forget to send Xu Hongbing the good news.

In any case, they were worried that Beijing University's teachers would steal the papers if they were not upright.

Of course, after all, there is another saying that it is necessary to guard against others, and what should be guarded against must be guarded against, especially his paper is so valuable that it can casually make a person gain great honor.

Now it seems that the result is finally good.

Soon, Xu Hongbing also sent him good news, and then he waited to pass the review and publish it.

"Well, let's go eat now."

Lin Xiao looked at the time. It was twelve o'clock at noon, and his parents were still at work, so he could only go out to eat.

As for cooking by himself, it’s not that he can’t do it. It’s okay to make fried rice or noodles, but the key is that there are no leftovers at home. Not full.

In the past few days, Lin Xiao found that his appetite was much larger than before, and he ate more meals. He estimated that this was because of the body strengthening function brought about by the health capsule.
