Bulgan looked at Zhuang Weiran with a smile, but did not speak.Waiting for Zhuang Weiran to finish speaking, at this time Zhuang Weiran looked nervous, "I, I really, can, can, join, join, Princeton, advanced, research institute?"

"Of course." Burgan said with a smile, "otherwise I wouldn't invite you, wouldn't I? I saw Zhang talking to you just now, so he should have mentioned this matter. Zhang also worked in the Institute for Advanced Study , our institute only recruits the best mathematicians."

"Obviously, Zhuang, you are one of the best mathematicians." Bulgan continued, "The distance between Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study is not far, I still hope you can consider it. The Institute for Advanced Study You know the history, Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, Sir Michael Atiyah, Chen, Yang, etc., all stayed at the Institute for Advanced Study.”

Zhuang Weiran knew all about the person Bulgan was talking about.The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is arguably the most famous academic sanctuary in the world.Countless people went to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton with a pilgrimage mentality, just to take a look at it.

And he was fortunate enough to receive an invitation from a professor of the School of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton to work as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

"Senior Researcher." Bulgan continued, "If you are a professor at Princeton University, then you can also be a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study."

"We will submit the invitation letter and recommendation letter, and I, Viscount Deligne and Philip Griffith will jointly write a recommendation letter for you." Bulgan said with a smile, "I believe that the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton will let you It is more pure on the academic path."

"Thank you, Professor Burgan." Zhuang Weiran said solemnly, "I am willing to accept the invitation of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study."

"I knew you would." Burgan shook hands with Zhuang Weiran, "I'm very optimistic about you, Zhuang. Perhaps, you can try to make some achievements in the field of functional analysis. You are in the field of number theory and partial differential equations. It has been done very well. Perhaps, we can try to make a breakthrough.”

"I will work hard." Zhuang Weiran took a deep breath, "But maybe not now, you know, I need to do the weak Goldbach conjecture now."

"I've heard about it. A new associate professor is ambitious to solve the weak Goldbach conjecture. There are many people in Princeton waiting to see the joke of this new associate professor." Bulgan was helpless, "When I heard about it before, I kept thinking about this question, whether the newcomer is a fool or a genius."

"Zhuang, do you know?" Bulgan continued, "In my opinion, there are only two kinds of people who can do such a thing. One is the real genius, and they have irrefutable research ability in the field of mathematics. The first The second type is a fool who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

"The first one, I haven't seen it before Princeton. Of course, Princeton University is indeed an irrefutable place of genius, but even if it is a place of genius, there are not many people who can truly be called geniuses."

"In my opinion, there have been no real talents in Princeton University for many years." Bulgan continued, "However, it seems that if Zhuang can come to Princeton University earlier, I believe he can regain his original glory, no ?"

"This..." Zhuang Weiran froze for a moment, looked at Bulgan and didn't know what to say.

"Zhuang, relax." Burgan said with a smile, "You are indeed a genius, I believe you can solve the weak Goldbach's conjecture. Your Zhou's conjecture today is enough to prove that you are really capable Solve the weak Goldbach conjecture."

"Thank you, Mr Bulgan."

"Zhuang, you can wait, maybe in a few days, the invitation letter will be sent to you." Burgan smiled and patted, "Zhuang, like everyone else, I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Mr. Bulgan." Zhuang Weiran let out a long sigh of relief. He knew that he might really be able to enter the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study this time.

After Bulgan left, Zhuang Weiran walked back directly.

When Li Fei went out, Zhuang Weiran had already disappeared.He looked at the empty corridor and sighed. Originally, he wanted to talk to Zhuang Weiran about the weak Goldbach's conjecture.Although he knew that the hope was very slim, but if he could say something, he still wanted to say it.It is too dangerous to do so.

Unfortunately, after he went out, he never saw Zhuang Weiran again.Well, I guess I can't mention this matter to Zhuang Weiran in the future, he has solved Zhou's conjecture now.If he stimulates it again, maybe next time, Zhuang Weiran will not know what proof of conjecture he will make on the spot.Forget it, don't mention this matter again.

Otherwise, he will definitely be hunted down by Professor Zhang.

Back in the office, Zhuang Weiran began to look up the information.On the contrary, when Li Fei entered the office, he said to Zhuang Weiran, "Xiao Zhuang, what are you doing?"

"Get ready to look at the information and literature."

"You don't upload the paper on Zhou's conjecture to arXiv?"

"Don't worry, Princeton University has videos, doesn't it?" Zhuang Weiran said, he is not in a hurry at all, anyway, Princeton University has videos, even if he doesn't upload them to arXiv.Princeton University will definitely upload the video to the Internet for publicity. At that time, the Annals of Mathematics, the Annals of Mathematics, will come directly to him and ask for proof of his thesis.

Annals of Mathematics itself is an academic journal founded by Princeton, and it is one of the four core journals of mathematics.

"Eh..." Zhuang Weiran said this to Li Fei, patted his head, and cursed himself secretly, it seems that he was really dizzy and forgot about this matter.This is a conjecture proof completed under the watchful eyes of teachers, students, and professors at Princeton University. Who is so blind that they would plagiarize this paper proof and submit it to an academic journal.

Are you kidding me?It's purely embarrassing himself, and in the future, the entire mathematics community will probably reject his papers.Academic reputation is also impossible to have.

"That's right, I guess the school will release the video in a few days. Aren't you going to upload the paper to arXiv?"

"Let's talk about it, even if I don't upload it, I guess someone will upload it for me." Zhuang Weiran smiled, "Now I guess, there is a discussion of this paper on arXiv."

Indeed, as soon as Zhuang Weiran unraveled Zhou's conjecture, relevant discussions have already appeared on arXiv.

He consulted information related to number theory, so he naturally saw these discussions.But he didn't go in to look specifically, it wasn't necessary.Whether to solve Zhou's conjecture or discuss with others are other people's business, he just needs to do his own thing well.

For example, weak Goldbach's conjecture is what he needs to do now.

"Come on, you are also a god." Li Fei sat on the chair, shook his head and said, "You don't care how they discuss your solution to Zhou's conjecture?"

"Besides, if this matter is reported back to China, I guess it will be another explosive news."

"Zhuang Weiran, a scholar in the Lighthouse Country, solved Zhou's conjecture at Princeton University. Tsk tsk, this title is sensational and shocking."

"Associate Professor Li." Zhuang Weiran didn't raise his head, "Do you think I will pay attention to these things?"

"That's true." Li Fei said helplessly, "I guess even if some magazine such as Time magazine interviews you, you may not pay attention to them."

"I'd better do things!" Li Fei began to get busy doing things.

Zhuang Weiran continued to consult literature and information. For others, the proof of Zhou's conjecture is a very important piece of news, even related to the progress of many researches and even the subject of many professors themselves.But for Zhuang Weiran, it is a past tense. What's more, he should have solved Zhou's conjecture a long time ago, and it took so long to solve it now.

It was very late.

Originally, it took several hours to solve Zhou's conjecture, but now it's dusk, and there are still students talking and laughing outside.

Li Fei raised his head and looked at the sky outside, "Xiao Zhuang, didn't Professor Zhang invite you to his house for a light meal tonight?"

"That's right." Zhuang Weiran, who was frowning and studying, stood up abruptly. He had forgotten about it, and he couldn't forget it.How could he forget that Professor Zhang Shouwu invited him to dinner.

He hurriedly packed his things, "Associate Professor Li, I'm leaving first."

"Go quickly." Li Fei shook his head, this little Zhuang, once he studied it, he even forgot such an important thing.

As soon as Zhuang Weiran left, Li Fei received an email from Tao Hanhai——

[Old Li, when will you return to China?Where are you going?Science Island?Beijing University, or Jinghua? 】

Li Fei was also very melancholy. He didn't think about where he should go. To be honest, there are quite a lot of places he can go.Like him, he has stayed at Princeton University for more than ten years, step by step from Ph.D., assistant professor to associate professor.Seeing that he is about to become a professor, after returning to China, he is still very popular.

But he didn't know where he should go, Beijing University or Jinghua?Or China University of Science and Technology?They are all pretty good, but he is a student from Peking University.Logically speaking, he should return to his alma mater to teach, just like Tao Hanhai.After returning to China from the University of California, Berkeley, I went straight back to Beijing University without even thinking about it.

But there is still some gap between him and Tao Hanhai.

Tao Hanhai was able to return to his alma mater, and the treatment was very good, but it did not mean that he was treated as well as Tao Hanhai when he returned to his alma mater.

So, he was quite troubled by this matter.Where should I go?He also has contact with Jinghua and Huake University, and the conditions are good.In fact, he is more inclined to the University of Science and Technology of China, far away from the disputes between the two mountains of Peking University and Jinghua, and is basically a big brother-level school in Anhui Province.With the support of the Science Island, it is very convenient even for research.

However, there are also quite a lot of professors who have returned from studying abroad at the University of Science and Technology of China.

Li Fei is uncertain, but he really wants to go back to China.There is no point in staying abroad.He should learn, he has already attended the plenary meeting.If you can’t learn it, if you stay, you still can’t learn it.

"Headache." Li Fei rubbed his eyebrows.
