Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't speak, Dean Zhou thought that Chen Zhou had accepted his suggestion.

Therefore, Dean Zhou continued: "Moreover, this is your first time attending an international academic conference, and your academic report is also on the first day. If you change your booking, you won't be able to catch up. Faced with a mathematical conjecture that may not be solved, I think this is a bit more than worth the cost. ”

Dean Zhou's words are actually not wrong.

There are very few direct flights from Yanjing to Boston, and only one airline, Nanhai Airlines, flies this route.

The rest, all of which need to be transferred.

Although it is possible to change the flight on the 13th, which is Friday, to the 14th.

But in case, Chen Zhou's flight on the 14th did not take either.

That's trouble.

Next, there are only the 16th and 18th.

Because Nanhai Airlines' flights from Yanjing to Boston are on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday every week.

The flight duration is at least 13 hours.

I also have to take into account the other things, such as jet lag.

Therefore, in the uncertain situation, Dean Zhou still felt that Chen Zhou could wait over there, and it was not too late to study.

Moreover, this academic conference will be attended by many bigwigs in the field of mathematics.

If there are any questions, Chen Zhou can also communicate with them.

As far as he knew, except for a few reviewers of Chen Zhou's paper.

There is also Professor Deligne of Belgian mathematics who proved Wey's conjecture.

This is a "grand slam" mathematician who combines the Fields Medal, the Cafford Prize in Mathematics, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and the Abel Prize.

Chen Zhou naturally understood what Dean Zhou meant, but let him cut off his research and go to the United States for more than ten hours to make a report.

He said he didn't want anything.

He won't go anywhere until the results are in.

He's already tasted the feeling of missing inspiration.

He didn't want to taste it again.

Who knows, these more than ten hours of plane, will his train of thought be turned upside down?

"Dean Zhou, I still want to change my ticket. After a pause, Chen Zhou continued, "I will immediately write an email to communicate with the organizers of the conference. ”

"But if you miss it, it's a big loss for you. Dean Zhou also wanted to persuade Chen Zhou again.

Chen Zhou said decisively: "Dean Zhou, you are wrong. In my opinion, the report will not matter. Missed it, and there will be another time. There may be a chance to solve Clamell's conjecture, but there may not be a next time!"

These words made Dean Zhou speechless for a while.

After a long time, he sighed lightly, maybe this is the reason why Chen Zhou can solve mathematical conjectures, right?

Dean Zhou, who was thinking like this, said slowly: "Then I will report to Dean Sun immediately." ”

Chen Zhou chuckled softly, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Dean Zhou." If it's not convenient for you to change the book, I can do it myself, and I can pay the change fee myself. ”

"You kid, don't worry, the school still has this little money, and you don't need to pay for it yourself!" Dean Zhou said angrily.

Chen Zhou suddenly laughed twice.

After a pause, Dean Zhou asked in a slightly cautious tone, "How sure are you?"

Chen Zhou was silent for a while before he said slowly: "Fifty percent!"

"So high?!" Dean Zhou blurted out in surprise.

That's right, fifty percent is already a very high certainty.

In the study of mathematical conjectures, how many people dare to say that they are 50% sure?

"Then ......" Dean Zhou hesitated slightly, "Then what number do you change to?"

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "Let's change it to the 16th." ”

"Okay!" Dean Zhou didn't ask any more questions, and after hanging up the phone, he went to report the matter to Dean Sun.

To Dean Zhou's surprise, Dean Sun just said plainly that he knew.

And instructed Dean Zhou that once Chen Zhou needed anything, he must assist him as soon as possible.

Also, at MIT, he will coordinate and try to help Chen Zhou adjust the time of the 30-minute report to the last day of the academic conference.

When Chen Zhou learned the news, he was still a little grateful in his heart.

Although he has communicated with MIT, the other party has also said that it can be adjusted.

But with Dean Sun's help, then he doesn't have to worry about extra things.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

Dean Sun took his senior brother Xu Chenyang and two other young professors to the airport to wait for the flight.

Xu Chenyang looked left and right, and was very strange in his heart, what about Chen Zhou, one of the legendary "peerless double pride" of the new generation of Yanda?

Seeing Xu Chenyang's movements, Dean Sun said loudly: "Don't look at it, he won't go with us today." ”

"Ah, why?" Xu Chenyang asked suspiciously, "Isn't this an arranged itinerary?" and his report will still be on the first day, if he doesn't go today, won't he do the thirty-minute report?"

The other two people who went with them this time also looked at Dean Sun with a confused expression.

At least, before they came, they had not received any news that Chen Zhou would not attend this academic conference.

Dean Sun explained: "He has changed the book, and the plane No. 16 will come before the end of this meeting. ”

Speaking of this, Dean Sun glanced at Xu Chenyang and the three beside him, and then said slowly: "Chen Zhou's Kramel conjecture that he studied has a clue. ”

One sentence made Xu Chenyang and the three of them stand in place instantly.

Got a clue?

What do you mean?

After two months, he is about to solve a world-class math problem?

In the middle of the night, the airport radio announced that the plane was about to be boarded, and Dean Sun called the three of them back to their senses.

Xu Chenyang asked in disbelief: "Dean, what you said is true or false?" Chen Zhou, how sure are you?"

Dean Sun said: "Fifty percent of it, he said it himself." ”

Xu Chenyang was silent and did not speak, his brows furrowed on his slightly chubby face.

After boarding the plane, Xu Chenyang said again: "This junior brother is really amazing, I am already expecting him to come over soon." ”

Hearing this, Dean Sun smiled: "What? Do you think he can solve the Kramel conjecture?"

Xu Chenyang replied: "It should be." From what I know, as long as he says things in advance, he does it. Then this time, he should be more than fifty percent sure. ”

Dean Sun was stunned, he really didn't expect this layer.

"It seems that this academic conference will be a little different because of him. ”

Xu Chenyang nodded: "I'm looking forward to him coming over soon." ”

At this time, Chen Zhou, who was staying in the library, happened to pick up a cup and take a sip of water.

When his eyes touched the watch on his wrist, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After the change, he still has three days left.

These three days are enough!

On the scratch paper in front of Chen Zhou was a correction of the Kramer conjecture that he had written.

Underneath this question is a large paragraph of his dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

【...... Using the mathematical idea of Gaussian distribution, combined with the method and idea of circle method and sieve method, the problem of the distribution law of prime numbers and the problem of prime interval can be studied......]

Although Chen Zhou has not yet solved the Kramer conjecture, he has not even solved the problem of revising this conjecture.

But he put the ideas in his mind into practice.

He cleverly combined those strange, seemingly unrelated mathematical tools.

As planned, he constructed a mathematical method and mathematical ideas for solving problems.

Although this new tool is not perfect enough.

But Chen Zhou believes it is strong enough.

He also believes that this tool will be improved step by step in future research.

Looking at the lines of writing on the scratch paper, Chen Zhou thought:

"I use the ideas of probability and statistics, and I have research tools in the field of number theory......"

"And what should it be called?"
