From top stream to scholar

When I came to the hotel, I happened to meet the old man who was the last to enter the academic lecture hall.Behind him was a young foreigner, judging by his appearance, Yu Wanzhou didn't know which country he was from.Anyway, compared to the looks of Asia, the looks of Europe and the United States seem to be similar.

"Yu." The old man stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and Yu Wanzhou didn't dare not return the greeting. After shaking hands with the old man, he asked, "Excuse me?"

"Faltings."

Well, Yu Wanzhou knows why he always puts a bad face on his face.He is the director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics. Several years of research in their institute was wasted because of himself, and he was not killed on the spot because his mathematical talent was not bad.

"Hello, Mr. Faltings." Yu Wanzhou was very polite. The other party was a world-class mathematician, so he naturally had to respect him.

"You are very powerful." When Faltings said this, his face did not change. "You are one of the most powerful people I have ever seen. I am surprised that you chose Hilbert Twelve Questions."

"Perhaps, you can also try the eighth question." Faltings paused, then continued, "There are still twenty questions."

"..." Yu Wanzhou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The eighth question is about the distribution of prime numbers, especially the Riemann conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture and the twin prime number conjecture."

"As for the No.20 question, the problem of single-valuing the analytic function with an automorphic function requires the use of the Riemann surface theory, and there is no solution yet."

Faltings said provocatively, "Why, there are problems that Huaguo's mathematical geniuses dare not do?"

Yu Wanzhou really suspected that this boss was here to find fault. What's the problem?If he can solve the Riemann conjecture, what's the matter with you?Yu Wanzhou probably has the final say in this world of mathematics.

As for the No.20 question, to be honest, even if he wants to solve it now, he still has more than enough energy.

The topic he wants to study now has nothing to do with these.His number theory is good, but he doesn't want to do the problem of prime numbers now.

"Since you don't want to study, then we are welcome." This is... asking what he wants to study?Yu Wanzhou froze for a moment, feeling confused for a moment.

"The Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics will study the problem of twin prime numbers." Faltings paused, and then continued, "Yu, this is what you said yourself, and you will not study the problem of prime number distribution."

"I won't study it for the time being." Yu Wanzhou smiled, "Faltins, you..."

"Then is your next subject still Hilbert's problem?"

"Of course." Yu Wanzhou nodded, "I already have some ideas, but I won't say what the problem is for now." Yu Wanzhou didn't speak.

Faltings stared at Yu Wanzhou for a moment, "Although I am looking forward to you going to the University of Bonn to study mathematics, because the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics is in Bonn, but I believe you will definitely not go to Germany."

Yu Wanzhou smiled and remained silent.

Faltins continued, "I guess you want to go to MIT or Stanford or Princeton."

"This is the place you Huaguo people want to go the most." After Faltings finished speaking, he pointed to the person behind him and said, "His name is Rich, and he was a researcher who studied the promotion of Abelian domains before."

Uh, is this ready to line up with him?Yu Wanzhou took a step back gently, and said with a professional smirk, "Hello, my name is Yu Wanzhou."

Rich looked at Yu Wanzhou, and Faltings said with a cold face as always, "You guys tell me, I'll go out for a stroll first." After that, he left without paying attention to Yu Wanzhou and Rich.

Song Hui, who was ignored, didn't say anything, anyway, he was a transparent person in front of these big guys.It doesn't really matter whether you see him or not.

"I've known you before, Yu. I think you should come to the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics. Our institute welcomes people like you. It's like the lack of mathematicians like you in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."

"Honestly, I'm surprised. You're really only 16 years old. You know, when I was 16... I just happened to be studying at the University of Bonn."

The corner of Song Hui's mouth twitched, it turned out that this group of foreigners really knew Versailles.Although he is not as powerful as his younger brother, the guy who can go to the University of Bonn at the age of 16 is probably not a fool.

Yu Wanzhou smiled calmly and said, "Really? I've heard of the University of Bonn because it is adjacent to the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics."

"Yu, I have a question. I heard that you are planning to go to university in Huaguo?"

"That's right." Yu Wanzhou nodded. If this person wasn't Faltings' assistant, Yu Wanzhou wouldn't have stood here and chatted with him for so long.

"Why don't you go to Europe to go to school in America, where you can get a better education and enjoy a better life." Rich was puzzled, "Why do you want to go to school in China."

Yu Wanzhou thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Rich, I also have a question to ask you."

"Tell me." Rich looked at Yu Wanzhou curiously, not knowing what question he would ask.

"You can go to the University of Bonn at the age of 16. I believe you can also go to the United States to go to NYU Berkeley, or Princeton, Stanford University, etc. So why would you study at the University of Bonn instead of going to the United States?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, they both knew in their hearts that the answer was actually very simple.

"I have to admit that there is a big gap between me and you." Rich stretched out his hand and said, "The Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics welcomes you at any time."

"Thank you, Mr. Rich." Yu Wanzhou sat on the elevator after chatting with Rich.There is only an elevator for two people, Yu Wanzhou asked softly, "I still don't understand."

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

"You say it's okay to be a university, why are these research institutes looking for me?" Yu Wanzhou was puzzled. He is a high school student, so it's not enough for the research institutes to start looking for people frantically, right?

Song Hui chuckled, "A mathematical genius is extremely rare. Especially for a mathematical genius like you, you can no longer see where your upper limit will be. Although you still need to go to university, master's and doctorate step by step, but —It’s not surprising that they booked you in advance.”

"That's it." Yu Wanzhou sighed with emotion and didn't continue talking.Song Hui raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, is there anything you want to say?"

"I don't have anything to say." Yu Wanzhou shook her head, "I'm just curious."

"Satisfy you kid." Song Hui gently pushed Yu Wanzhou's head and said, "Which of the research institutions that invited you is not the top, they didn't even take a look at me."

"You don't even start college and you have a job. I don't even know what my job is going to be."

Yu Wanzhou scratched his head and didn't speak. When he returned to the room, he asked Song Hui specifically, "Senior Brother Song, is there anything else I can do for this academic seminar?"

"There is nothing wrong at the moment, but I can't guarantee if there will be anything in the future. You just stay in the capital honestly. If there is anything, I can find you."

"Thank you." Yu Wanzhou closed the door and took a deep breath.It really scared him just now. With so many eyes, almost all of them are seniors, even top scholars. If he said something wrong, he might be pointed out.

Come to think of it, it's pretty scary.Fortunately, nothing happened in the end. After washing up, Yu Wanzhou lay on the bed to rest.

Anyway, he didn't have anything to do, so he should take a rest first, and then get up and think about the subject to be studied next.

He is going to choose Hilbert's No.11 problem, that is, quadratic form theory in the general algebraic number field, or No.16 problem, using congruent polyhedrons to construct spaces.In fact, according to his current ability, when solving the eighth prime number distribution problem, he should be able to conjecture twin prime numbers.

But he refused to do it. He was going to do one of the two problems he had chosen first, and then try the prime number distribution problem.Besides, isn't the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics wanting to study the distribution of twin prime numbers?Let them do the research first.He didn't join in the fun, or the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics still failed to research one of the two problems after he completed his research. He was thinking about whether he should do research.

This time, Yu Wanzhou slept peacefully.It's been a long time since I slept so peacefully. After Yu Wanzhou woke up, it was almost dark.He hurriedly washed his face and went out for dinner.

After dinner, Yu Wanzhou thought that she had nothing to do, so she wandered around Beijing University and came to the library.

When she came to the library, Yu Wanzhou suddenly remembered that she hadn't consulted documents and materials for a long time, so she went into the library to look at documents and materials.

…………

"Knock knock knock" Someone was knocking on the door. Langlands opened the door and saw Faltings standing outside.

"Faltings, is there anything you want to say?" Langlands walked away while speaking, allowing Faltings to enter the room.

After entering the room, Faltings sighed slightly, "It's hard for me to imagine that this is a problem that a high school student can solve."

"Although I did not participate in the research, some of the most elite professors and Ph.D.s of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics were gathered, and the speed was not as fast as that of a high school student. You believe that it took him more than half a year to completely solve this problem. Is it open?"

"Faltings, this is not a matter of belief or not." Langlands said while checking the calculation, "This is what we have seen with our own eyes, so there is no room for us not to believe it."

"Maybe he is another Gauss or Hilbert?" Langlands said jokingly, "I heard that you went to test whether he is interested in the distribution of prime numbers?"

"It seems that he will not study the problem of twin prime numbers for the time being." Faltins said with a coffee, "Perhaps, some of the research is safe for the time being."

"My God, I really didn't expect that one day I would be afraid of a Chinese person studying a certain field of mathematics." Faltins said jokingly, "This is too exaggerated."
