From top stream to scholar

"Cheat you?" Yu Wanzhou pretended to be angry and said, "What's the use of lying to you?"

"Uh, why didn't you notify me of such a good thing?" Lin Wei thought for a while and said, "No way."

"Look." Yu Wanzhou took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Wei and said, "I also just got it from Nassau Building."

"Really?" Lin Weizai read it carefully, and he was really going to be a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University.Tsk tsk, it's a good thing.He put down the paper with a smile and said, "Okay, junior brother, you are quite well-informed about this kind of thing."

"I can't help it." Yu Wanzhou spread her hands and said, "I can only do so much, and my brother has been an associate professor for many years, so I really should mention it."

"I didn't come to you for this." Lin Wei didn't forget why he came to Yu Wanzhou.

"Although you didn't come to me for this matter, but knowing the news, shouldn't you treat me to dinner tonight?"

"You are a big professor or director, do you need me to treat you?" Lin Wei laughed angrily at Yu Wanzhou, "Okay, for the sake of telling me this, I will treat you to noodles tonight. "

"..." Really stingy.Yu Wanzhou complained about Lin Wei silently in her heart.

"About group theory." Lin Wei directly got to the point, "I think so."

The two began to discuss group theory, and Barnard next to him asked in a low voice, "Yang, what were the two discussing just now?"

"I heard that Associate Professor Lin is going to be promoted to professor."

"My God." Barnard gasped, "This is incredible news."

"What?" Yang Zhengqi looked at Barnard curiously, "Do you think Professor Lin is not enough to be promoted to a professor?"

"No, no, Yang, that's not what I meant." Barnard shook his head hastily and said, "What I mean is—I didn't expect that I would study with Professor Lin under Professor Jaffe, who is now a professor. I'm just a PhD student."

Yang Zhengqi smiled, "We are similar, I am about the same age as Professor Yu. Now Professor Yu is already a professor, and I am just an undergraduate."

"Oh, the world of bastards!" Barnard swore viciously.

Yang Zhengqi didn't speak, he just smiled.

This world is of course a bastard. The higher you stand, the more you can know that the gap between people cannot be bridged by hard work.Just like Professor Yu, who is smarter than you, better than you, and even harder than you.

Who can stand this, whoever meets this great immortal must kneel down and say directly, "I am really convinced!"

"Relax." Yang Zhengqi was in a good state of mind, and it was definitely impossible to catch up with Professor Yu.But to be able to learn even one-tenth of Professor Yu's thought, that is already a very remarkable thing.

His curiosity about mathematics is no less than anyone else.

In particular, Professor Yu and Professor Xu Kong Grothendieck had a very happy conversation, and the gossip said that God Yu knew almost all the academic essence of Pope Kong Kong.

What's this?This is the so-called inheritance.

There is a high probability that Professor Yu's thoughts are not in the same dimension as theirs.So he can easily and happily accept Professor Yu's monstrous setting. Anyway, God Yu is not as monstrous as he was on the first day. His legend is basically enough to write a novel.

It's good to get used to this kind of thing.

Ronald smiled and didn't speak. Just as Yang Zhengqi said, it's better to take it easy on this kind of thing.At Princeton University, he should have known that geniuses and madmen are everywhere.For example, Director Yu, who came to Princeton several years later than him, is now the director of the Department of Mathematics.When he first arrived at Princeton University, Ronald had been a doctoral student of Professor Jaffe for several years.However, he is still a doctoral student of Professor Jaffe, and Yu Wanzhou has become the director of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. This change is really too big.

Genius cannot be measured by common sense.Probably this is the most important thing Ronald learned at Princeton University, not one of them.After the discussion between the two of them was completed, the sky had gradually dimmed.Yu Wanzhou stood up and stretched, and said to the two people who were still working on the table, "Are you still working?"

Yu Wanzhou frowned slightly, but couldn't tell what it was like.

Today, Yu Wanzhou managed to take a break early, so that the two in his office could go back early.

"Zhengqi, Ronald, aren't you hungry?"

Ronald touched his stomach, nodded and said seriously, "I'm really hungry, I'll eat at the restaurant first."

Yang Zhengqi also packed his things, "Shen Yu, I'm going to eat first too."

"Remember, after solving the problem I gave you, read more about the Langlands Program." Yu Wanzhou paused, "By the way, do you know Qi Yuan?"

"Qi Yuan?" Yang Zhengqi thought for a while, "Yes, you are a master of mathematics."

Yu Wanzhou smiled and said nothing.

Yang Zhengqi said again, "I remember that Qi Yuan seems to be in the same class as Yu Shen."

"Yes." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "He is studying in the capital, but he will come to Princeton University in September. If you have any questions that you don't understand, you can ask him."

"Understood." Yang Zhengqi said, "In other words, Qi Yuan is a senior brother."

Yu Wanzhou smiled without saying a word.

After Yang Zhengqi packed his things and left the office, he also said to Yu Wanzhou, "Goodbye God Yu!"

"Goodbye!" Yu Wanzhou nodded slightly, left the office, and closed the door.The weather in June is a bit unreasonable. Even wearing short sleeves, Yu Wanzhou still feels a little hot.This weather, if it is back to Yucheng, I am afraid it will be even more unreasonable.Yu Wanzhou thought for a while and shook her head, "However, he doesn't know if he can return to China for the Chinese New Year this year."

This time, it seems that Princeton has made up his mind that it is impossible to leave the United States without making results.In September, he received the AM Turing Award, and then there was nothing to do. He could conduct research at Princeton University with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Yu Wanzhou's steps became brisk.

It is the current research, but there is no result yet, which makes him not very satisfied.But there is no way, and the research can only proceed slowly in this way.He took a look, and Lin Wei's speed was much slower than his.

But Yu Wanzhou still felt a little bit heartbroken about the current speed. Originally, he could have been faster.Unfortunately, this speed is a bit too slow, shaking his head, Yu Wanzhou put some thoughts behind him.Forget it, let's take a step forward and look at it first. The topic is different from the previous ones, because the algorithm problem makes it very difficult for him.

This is also very challenging, and Yu Wanzhou likes this kind of challenging things very much.At least, in his own opinion, this is the first time he has encountered such a challenging subject.

"Yo." Lin Wei patted Yu Wanzhou's shoulder, "What are you thinking, Junior Brother?"

"Hmm..." Yu Wanzhou nodded at Lin Wei, and said thoughtfully, "I'm thinking, how can we speed up our time."

"You can be content." Lin Wei shook his head, "Thinking that others can win the Fields Medal just by checking the basic lemma of an automorphic function, your subject is the entire Langlands program. To be honest, I think I’m afraid it won’t be completed in less than ten or twenty years.”

"That's not necessarily true." Yu Wanzhou said, "If there is inspiration, the progress will be very fast."

"But inspiration is a very mysterious thing. It doesn't come when you say it." Lin Wei spread his hands, "Isn't it?"

"That's right." Yu Wanzhou agreed with Lin Wei's words, "So, we all have to work harder."

"To be honest, I've worked very hard." Lin Wei took a deep breath, his eyebrows were a little dignified, "This subject is really too big, even if Qi Yuan comes to help me, I'm afraid the progress will not be much faster."

"Well, I will try my best to solve the problems of number theory, algebra and geometry first, and then I will also help you with the problems of group theory."

"Junior brother, I still want to say something. Although the Langlands program can be regarded as a unified theory in the mathematics world, it is not complete. If you want to make a truly unified theory, I am afraid that what needs to be filled is not in the Langlands program. down, and possibly even more.”

"I know very well." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "When I chose this topic, I knew very well what kind of problems we would face."

"Since you know it well, I won't say anything." Lin Wei patted Yu Wanzhou on the back without any force, "Let's go, I've already made a reservation for the restaurant. Tonight, I have to invite you, the director, to have a drink." Just a glass."

"Sorry, Professor Lin, you know that I never drink alcohol."

"Tsk tsk, so, you are actually quite boring." Lin Wei began to comment on Yu Wanzhou, "I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I hardly do anything other than research every day."

"Are you sure you can find a girlfriend?"

"Maybe, you can try to find a boyfriend?" Yu Wanzhou raised her eyebrows, Lin Wei thought for a while, "I find it difficult, no one can tolerate your character."

"Think about it, waiting for you to go home every day, but you are not in the library but in your own research room. You are not a person who doesn't know how to stay at home. Whether it is a man or a woman, I think it is difficult to accept a person who is obsessed with research. , Let’s kill people who have no interest in life. Even if they are monsters standing at the top of the food chain.”

"Listen, it seems like you are cursing that I am destined to be a single dog, brother."

"What?" Yu Wanzhou asked back, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend? You're already in your 30s, and your family has already started urging you? Don't worry, don't you panic?"

"It's okay, I'm in Princeton, jet lag, I'm not too worried about this matter." Lin Wei said with a straight face.

"Oh?" Yu Wanzhou smiled, "It's no wonder that senior brother hasn't come home during the Chinese New Year for so many years. I'm afraid that because of returning home, his relatives will take turns complaining about him."
