From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"This...isn't it incredible?"

"It's unbelievable, but that's the truth." Wiles smiled: "Let's hope he can succeed. In that way, a difficult problem that made us all fail will finally be solved."

The other professors also nodded.

Goldbach's conjecture has baffled the mathematics community for hundreds of years. Solving it has become the dream of many mathematicians. If it can be solved, it will be a regrettable solution for each of them.

"If he succeeds, I will have to invite him to be a professor in the Department of Mathematics of our Ecole Normale Supérieure." At this time, a professor next to him said.

"Let's go to our Oxford University." Wiles said.

"Such a genius, I think, might as well go to MIT with me." Another mathematics professor who flew over from the United States also said.

Suddenly, several professors started arguing. If the prover of Goldbach's conjecture can come to their school as a professor, it will obviously attract many young students to join.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao, who was being watched by everyone, suddenly stopped writing.

Chapter 135 Can he succeed?

Lin Xiao stopped writing, because the previous state of thinking like a fountain stopped, and now he finally encountered a difficulty.

But it is obviously not convenient to use a notepad to carry out the next work in this place.

So he recovered from his immersion, and then raised his head.

The next moment, he froze.

what's going on?

Why are so many people looking at me?

"What happened?"

He couldn't help asking Xu Ji beside him in a low voice.

"Everyone is looking forward to your research."

Xu Ji next to him replied with a smile.

"Expecting my research?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback, wondering what to expect from his research.

"Aren't you studying Goldbach's conjecture? Should you have found a breakthrough now? How is the result?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "I have encountered a problem now, and I need a quieter place and more time to study."

"Then go back to the hotel."

"Is the lecture... over?"

"It's been over for more than ten minutes." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Lin Xiao couldn't help being stunned. It's been over ten minutes?

At this time, Andrew Wiles came over and asked with a smile: "It seems that you have found your inspiration?"

Hearing Wiles' question, Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, I have caught it temporarily, but I haven't brewed it into a fruit yet."

"But at least it's better than nothing." Wiles said with a smile: "In addition, you can be regarded as making history, so many of us can stay and wait for you."

"so many people?"

Lin Xiao froze for a moment, then stood up.

And as he stood up, he was really shocked this time, and everyone in the audience focused their eyes on him, looking like they were searching.

"Ah this..."

He couldn't help touching his face. He was just researching a problem. As for getting so many people to pay attention?

Seeing this appearance, Wiles smiled, and then said loudly to the surroundings: "Okay, everyone should not gather around here for the time being, Lin still needs some time, cheer him up, so that he will be better Put your energy into research."

Hearing what Wiles said, everyone applauded and shouted at the same time: "Come on! Lin!"

"Come on! Lin!"

……

Hearing that so many people, especially so many strangers, were cheering for him, Lin Xiao felt the enthusiasm for mathematics for the first time.

Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to everyone around, and said loudly: "Thank you everyone, I will bring you good news."

"it is good!"

Both young people and professors gave applause.

Everyone is very sincere, and everyone sincerely hopes that Lin Xiao can succeed.

Although not everyone knew that what Lin Xiao wanted to overcome was Goldbach's conjecture, but it did not prevent their emotions from being aroused. At this moment, they were all pure, as pure as mathematics.

……

Amidst the sound of cheering, the discussion was truly over. People began to leave, and Lin Xiao quickly returned to the hotel.

No one asked him out, because no one would come up and disturb what was probably the most important period of time for him.

Until he sat at the table in the hotel, he let out a long breath.

Having received encouragement from so many people, he felt a kind of enthusiasm in academic research, which is different from the kind of excitement when scoring goals in the World Cup, because the latter comes from the body, while the former belongs to the brain, but the two The latter are of the same origin, because they are all for the achievement of a certain goal.

However, no matter what, this also brought a certain amount of pressure to Lin Xiao. If he didn't finish it, maybe those people who cheered him up would not say anything, but he would also feel that he had let so many people down.

Of course, for him, pressure is also motivation.

What's more, he always succeeds.

Focusing on his notepad, he found a larger draft paper from the side, and then——

"Turn on the sage state."

Then the sound of the system sounded: "[Sage Status] is activated, the current remaining time: 15 hours, and can be paused every five hours."

Lin Xiao was taken aback, can I pause every five hours?

I remember that it was not possible to pause last time, but the duration of the sage state last time was only five hours.

Of course, this is also a good thing, if he only used 10 hours, then he can avoid wasting an extra five hours.

Before Lin Xiao could think about it, he suddenly felt his brain become particularly clear.

All the truths in the world seem to be within reach.

He seemed to be able to see the stress concentration point of the table in front of him, looked up to the hotel window, and even seemed to be able to see the length and width geometry of the billboard opposite.

"This state..."

Lin Xiao felt a little unbelievable for a while, the ability to get precise proportions with his eyes was beyond imagination.

"System, how much has my brain development improved now?"

"According to what the host's current body can accept, this [Sage State] will increase the degree of brain development by 75%, and the current rate is 6.7375%."

Lin Xiao suddenly showed surprise on his face, it was able to increase by 75%?

If the body can accept it, it means that the health capsules he took before made his body's ability to accept it bigger?

He couldn't help but feel happy.

No way, I need to strengthen my physical exercise in the future?

Then he stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze back to the draft paper in front of him.

"I am in this state, can I still be stumped by you?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he confidently picked up the pen and began to write.

Scratch paper has become his battlefield, and symbols representing various mathematical meanings have become his weapons.

Now his goal is to conquer the 'Goldbach Conjecture'.

……

Time passed quickly.

Lin Xiao's quiet research is in contrast to the discussions from the outside world.

For the hundreds of mathematics students who participated in Professor Laurent Laforgue, what happened in the rotunda of the Poincaré Institute today is enough for them to share with their friends and classmates.

Those who knew that what Lin Xiao wanted to solve was Goldbach's conjecture also spread the news.

So in less than five hours, everyone who studied mathematics in Paris knew about it.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the mathematics atmosphere in Paris. Gauss once mentioned it in his autobiography, and Parisians would proudly say: "Our best people study mathematics."

Lagrange, Fermat, Fourier, Cauchy and other great mathematicians are all from France, so people here will feel admiration and admiration for those who can overcome mathematical problems, especially the Goldbach conjecture. A well-known mathematical puzzle.

Ever since, these people began to wait for news from Lin Xiao.

Although, they can't guarantee that Lin Xiao will succeed immediately, maybe he will return to China after the Bourbaki seminar to solve this problem, or he can't solve this problem, but all in all, everyone is looking forward to .

And of course, the news didn't just stay in the circle of Paris. The European and American mathematics circles all knew the news, and although the Huaguo mathematics circle was separated from foreign news by a wall, they couldn't get the news in time. However, the dissemination of the news on large websites such as Twitter and Youtube was finally known to the country, and Xu Ji, Xiao Shi, and Xiao Zhou, who were in Paris and saw the whole process with their own eyes, also confirmed the news to the country.

Suddenly, all kinds of international attention made Lin Xiao the focus of everyone's eyes.

At the same time, a question mark rose in everyone's heart.

"Can he succeed?"

Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, in the institute's cafeteria, Enrique Pompieri asked Pierre Deligne next to him.

They are enjoying afternoon tea, which is probably a part of their daily life for them.

Come here to make a cup of fragrant coffee, and then have an academic exchange with a Fields Medal winner, or a Nobel Prize winner, or some interesting anecdotes. Outside of research, my favorite pastime project.

"His understanding is very powerful, maybe he can succeed?" Deligne shook his head, and then said with emotion: "Goldbach's conjecture, if he really solves it, it will really be among the younger generations in the mathematics world." Dominated.”

"Yes." Pompieri nodded, "If he can solve it, the Fields Medal will be fine."

"Fields Award? The structure is small, small!" Deligne shook his head with a smile: "Abel Prize, Wolf Prize, Craford Prize can all be prepared and lined up to be awarded to him. Various mathematical organizations They will all rush to send invitations to him and let him become their member. In addition, every few decades, such as 50 years, may hold a special meeting to commemorate the proof of Goldbach’s theorem.”

"In addition, all the universities in the world will also send invitations to him, hoping that he can become a professor-by the way, he seems to be in his first year of freshman now? I'm afraid he can't even become a professor. Oh my god, this It's even more incredible."

Speaking of this, Deligne didn't know what to say.

This age is really too shocking.

Pompieri also showed emotion on his face: "Yeah, he is only 18 years old now? Oh, he should be 19 years old. He was 18 years old last year. The next Fields Medal will be awarded in 2022. He was only 22 years old at the time, and that was the youngest winner!"

"Also, even if the next session has to wait until the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2026 to take care of other mathematicians, he will still be the youngest winner." At this time, Deligne emphasized again.

"Yes." Pompieri nodded.

The youngest Fields Medal winner.

But probably only the Fields Medal can be worthy of the honor of Goldbach's conjecture proof.

Deligne picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with emotion: "Then wish him success."

Chapter 136 Proof of Completion!Math 4th grade!

Huaguo, the headquarters building of CCTV, is also the famous building with big underpants.

The director of the main station is holding a meeting and sending his order to the CCTV reporter station in Paris.

"Try to interview Lin Xiao, if Lin Xiao is not free, first interview Professor Xu Ji of Peking University, if possible, also interview foreign mathematicians, but no matter what, Lin Xiao cannot be interviewed by other media first , the achievements of our Huaguo people, our Huaguo wants to be the first to interview, remember?"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, the director couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

Goldbach guessed that the popularity in China was too high, and he also knew about this thing.

And Goldbach's conjecture has such a great reputation, and it has a lot to do with the 1+2 proved by Chen Jingrun.

In Chen Jingrun's time, Xinhua had just started, and it was obvious that everyone was excited that a domestic mathematician could make such a worldwide achievement.

So in this way, people knew about Goldbach's conjecture, like the director, and later learned about it.

Previously, Chen Jingrun proved the 1+2 form of Goldbach's conjecture, and now another Lin Xiao will have the opportunity to thoroughly prove Goldbach's conjecture, which will of course attract domestic attention.

Doesn't this mean that scientists in Huaguo are getting more and more prosperous?

The director remembered Mr. Yang's evaluation of Lin Xiao some time ago. Of course he knew about it. The young man who was still in Paris at this time sent his blessings, and then sighed in his heart: "Amazing young man."
