From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"Hey, why are you crying?"

Are all 12-year-olds this vulnerable?

The door was opened, and several elders heard the crying and walked in, but saw that the two brothers did not fight.

Mother Yang Rong thought that Lin Xiao was bullying others, but thinking of Lin Xiao's usual performance, she didn't seem to be able to bully others, so she asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands innocently and said, "How do I know, I just helped him write a question, okay?"

Alas, today's children are really hard to understand.

Chapter 59 National team roster released

As for why the little brother suddenly cried, Lin Xiao was puzzled by the monk of Zhang Er.

He probably wouldn't have thought that this was actually because the little brother's previous self-confidence was broken by his showmanship.

But no matter what, the relatives didn't blame him. Instead, they gave the little brother a scolding, roughly meaning "Why are you crying, you scared your brother Lin Xiao".

There is no way, when Lin Xiao is really promising, these relatives basically turn to him.

Of course, the most important thing was that the little brother didn't want to say why he was crying. He couldn't say that Lin Xiao was too inappropriate when he did the questions, and then hit himself hard.

This is too embarrassing.

After that, Lin Xiao found that the little brother didn't even dare to look at him anymore, and even avoided him when doing anything, which only made him more confused.

I... Didn't I just accidentally solve a junior high school problem with functional analysis? Why does he think of himself like that?

Is it that scary?

With this confusion, Lin Xiao finally left his relatives' house after having a meal here, and continued to spend the rest of the Spring Festival holiday.

……

Time passed quickly, and the ten-day holiday for the New Year finally passed. Of course, for Lin Xiao, there was no problem of passing or not, because he still enjoyed the treatment of not having to go to class.

Of course, for most of the students who have already been admitted to the university, they basically don't have to go to class at all. Many of these students at the top level have even started to enjoy the summer vacation in advance.

In this way, we came to the middle and late March.

The second phase of the selection competition for the mathematics national team began to report on March 3. Lin Xiao and Sun Yu formed a team again. Under the leadership of the Qin Provincial Mathematical Association, they came to the registration place, the Second Affiliated Middle School of East China Normal University.

Needless to say after that, the opening ceremony will be held on the 19th, the exams will be held on the 20th and 21st, and the lectures will continue after that.

Lin Xiao has lost interest in competition exams and such lectures, and still focuses on undergraduate mathematics books.

Another month has passed, and he has naturally read a lot more mathematics books, and now he has begun to study topology.

Topology is a very interesting mathematical subject. I believe that many people have seen a video, that is, the wire plug is wrapped around the leg of the table. Get the plug out, but for knot theory in topology, there's no need to lift the table at all.

Because this rope is actually still in a space, its two knots a and b are equivalent if and only if they can be transformed into each other through the composition of finite Reidemeister transformations.

Once the equivalence is proved, it can be transformed back into a one-dimensional straight line without kinks somehow.

Of course, topology is still difficult, and the requirements for talent are relatively high, especially the spatial imagination ability must be strong. For example, watching the video of taking out the wire plug from the table leg, some people watch it once or twice, and probably imagine I can figure out how it was twisted out, and some people may still look confused after watching it nine or ten times.

As for Lin Xiao's talent, needless to say, his talent is comprehensive, so he can learn topology very quickly.

Of course, learning these college mathematics is one aspect. For this selection competition, Lin Xiao still has to spend a little energy to deal with it. At least one or two hours a day will be spent, right?

Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful to the national team.

So Lin Xiao still reluctantly does a few questions every day to show his respect.

As for the exam or something, it is naturally dry and Dandan (simple).

So, at 3:28 am on March 10, the closing ceremony of the second stage selection began.

"The final grades are evaluated based on the final average grades of the four exams in the first and second phases. Next, I will announce the six students who will finally stand out from the sixty training team members."

On the rostrum, an honorary director from the Huaguo Mathematical Society spoke into the microphone.

At this time, the fifteen math geniuses who entered the second stage of selection, except for Lin Xiao and a few students who were completely sure, held their breath.

"No.1, student Lin Xiao, the four scores are all 126 points, and the average score is 126 points. Congratulations, you have become the first student in the history of our training team to get full marks in all four selection exams. I believe you can do it too." In the arena of the International Mathematical Olympiad, aim for a gold medal for our country!"

Dozens of participants in the conference room all applauded, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The difficulty of the second selection test was even higher than the first one. As a result, Lin Xiao was still able to secure full marks. Know what will happen to this student after he enters the university.

Maybe, these seniors in mathematics who were present could only call themselves seniors in front of Lin Xiao for a few years.

However, they all have the same idea in their hearts, that is, the geniuses like Hua Guo, I really hope that there will be more of them.

I only hope that the Lord of Heaven will revive and send down talents in an eclectic manner.

……

Afterwards, the honorary director continued to announce the other five contestants. No.2 was that Ouyang Sheng, with an average score of 121 points. In this round of selection exams, he also scored 126 points in one round. He is also very talented. You can get a gold medal.

Of course, even if you win the gold medal, the full score is not necessarily the case. Sometimes in the IMO competition, the questions are simple, and there are many people who get full marks, but sometimes the questions are difficult, and there are quite few people who can get full marks. For example, in the 2017 IMO competition, The Huaguo team won five gold medals and one silver medal, but the highest score was only 32 points.

However, most people still believe that Lin Xiao can get full marks. If there is only one person in the Hua Guo team who can get full marks, then this person must be Lin Xiao.

Afterwards, the names of the other four contestants were reported one by one. Among them, Sun Yu, who came from Qin Province with Lin Xiao, really entered the top six, ranking fifth.

That is to say, in this Huaguo Mathematics National Team, Qin Sheng really made an unprecedented breakthrough. Two players entered the national team together and will represent Huaguo in the [-]th IMO Competition!

Upon receiving the news, Lin Xiao also congratulated Sun Yu. Now, the Qin Provincial Mathematical Society is probably overjoyed, right?

Why don't you give them some rewards or something?

Chapter 60 Chinese Academy of Sciences Training

The closing ceremony is over and everything is settled.

The six players participating in the IMO are Lin Xiao, Ouyang Sheng, Sun Yu, Li Boyuan, Hu Zichao, and Zou Ziyi. These six players will go to Romania, Cluj-Napoca before July 7 to participate in the Ninth International Olympic Games Mathematical Competition.

As a national team, to represent the country in international competitions, the Huaguo Mathematics Association naturally needs to train them. The training time is divided into two stages, a total of 45 days, from April 4 to May 16, and June From the 5th to June 15th, and then fly to Romania on July 6st, the training location is in Beijing, the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Lin Xiao was really not interested in these trainings. It was tiring to go back and forth so many times, but he had no choice but to go if he was insisted on.

Finally, the training time did not take up his time for the college entrance examination, otherwise, the 100 million yuan from Beijing University would have been lost.

Time passed quickly, and Lin Xiao returned home for two weeks. During this period, the Qin Provincial Mathematical Society also rewarded him and Sun Yu with a scholarship of [-] yuan each, which directly expanded Lin Xiao's wallet a lot.

After that, on April 4, he took the train to Shangjing and reported to the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

……

Where to report.

"Are you that Lin Xiao?"

"Yes."

The teacher in charge of the reception glanced at Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "You are finally here. Many teachers want to see you."

"Ah, this..." Lin Xiao touched his face: "Am I so attractive?"

The reception teacher laughed and said: "Of course, you are so attractive, and your grades are so good, which teacher doesn't want to see you?"

"Ok."

Lin Xiao sighed, is it all because of his talent?

Is his appearance really not worth noting?

Seeing him sigh, the reception teacher couldn't help but feel puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and said: "You have been living in our dormitory building here for a month, and here is your key. The double room is for sharing with another contestant." , let me take a look, it's Sun Yu, you seem to be from the same province."

"Is it Sun Woo? Is he coming?"

"That's not here yet." The reception teacher said, "Okay, I'll take you to your dormitory now."

"Thank you teacher, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Lin Xiao thanked her, then took her luggage and went to the dormitory building with the teacher.

Although it is a dormitory building, it is not a tube building like a school dormitory, but a building similar to a residential building, with an elevator and a comfortable decoration.

After all, it is a dormitory building for the researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If the conditions are poor, it is really unreasonable.

As for Lin Xiao's dormitory, which is on the second floor, there are also two rooms and one living room inside. The two bedrooms with beds are relatively spacious, and there is also a desk for them to study.

After the reception teacher helped Lin Xiao put away his luggage, he moved out a ready-made three-piece bed set from the closet beside him. The bed was a 1.2-meter single bed, and the mattress was already there. asleep.

"Okay, the schedule has been sent to your group. Just look at the schedule. Don't forget to attend the meeting tomorrow morning." The reception teacher said, and then handed over a bunch of keys and a Put the card on the bed, "Here is your key, and your meal card. The meal card will be replenished to 300 yuan every day, which can be used to spend with us. If you are eating out, please ask for the receipt. Then, I will reimburse you later."

"Okay." Lin Xiao responded. All the expenses for their coming here are provided by the Huaguo Mathematical Society. They don't need to spend a penny for food, housing and transportation. Of course, as long as it's not a meal that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars kind.

Then the host teacher left here.

After seeing the teacher leave, Lin Xiao lay down on the bed directly. She was not used to sleeping on the cold new sheets.

After a while, he sat up again and looked out the window.

This is Guanzhong Village. Going to Beijing's Third Ring Road means that you have a suite in the Third Ring Road?

But soon he patted himself on the head, why did he have a suite, he just stayed for a month.

He got up and walked around the room again. The room is about [-] square meters. For the dormitory, it is obviously very big. There is also a private bathroom, a balcony and a washing machine. Life.

After reading it briefly, Lin Xiao went back to his room and took out the book on partial differential equations to read.

This book was the last undergraduate mathematics textbook he read.

After that, if you want to continue to study in depth, then you will enter the content that graduate students need to study. There are more subdivided content in this area, and it is also more difficult. Just a few, such as second-order elliptic equations, Lie groups and Lie algebras , Riemann surface theory and so on.

As for these textbooks, Shangjing did not prepare Lin Xiao for them. After all, they never thought that Lin Xiao would be able to learn all the undergraduate courses in mathematics by himself before entering university.

Probably no one would believe that Lin Xiao could learn so quickly.

Moreover, he not only learns quickly, but also has a solid memory of knowledge points. Basically, as long as he learns it seriously, he will hardly forget that knowledge, which is also thanks to the help of the system.

In this way, after Lin Xiao studied for a few more hours, he felt a little hungry, so he automatically left the state of immersion.

As long as he is not thinking about the problem, the hunger can still wake him up, and if he is thinking about the problem like last time, it is estimated that he will not withdraw from the state of immersion after starving for half a day.

He ate when he was hungry, so Lin Xiao left his room, but at this moment he was surprised to find that Sun Yu had arrived, leaning on the sofa in the living room, playing with his mobile phone.

"Hey, grandson, when did you come?"

Sun Yu also looked at him in a daze: "Why are you in the room?"

The two replied in unison: "I've been there a long time ago."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao touched his nose: "I arrived in the morning and have been studying in the room."

"Well, I got there an hour ago."

Sun Yu said helplessly that he was startled when he heard the sound of the door opening just now, and he almost didn't realize that there was a murderer hiding in the room and wanted to come out and kill him.

However, Lin Xiao actually arrived this morning and studied in the room for so long in the afternoon. Sun Yu still has to say admiration for this hardworking spirit.

"Shall we go to eat together? I don't know if the cafeteria of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is delicious or not."

"Okay, I happen to be hungry too."

With that said, the two left the dormitory together.

Chapter 61 The latest issue of "Annual of Mathematics" is released!

The next day, the training officially started.

Six team members came to their training place together. This is a small lecture hall. Although it is small, it is also a lecture hall, so it is quite large and can accommodate more than 100 people.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is not a school after all, so there are no classrooms for them to attend classes.

Before the teacher came, they started chatting.

"Lin Shen, how long do you plan to finish writing the IMO test paper?" Ouyang Sheng looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and began to blow.

Just like in the group of authors, when a high-quality big shot haunts, all the fans will pay their respects together, swiping the screen with exclusive emoticons, shouting that the big boss will always be god.

"I'll bet for three hours."

Sun Yu next to him made a point.

"It's only been three hours? Are you underestimating God Lin, why don't you finish it in two hours?" Li Boyuan retorted on the spot.

"Two hours, what are you kidding about? What trouble does Lin Shen need to do? Half an hour is too much." Hu Zichao continued to refute.
