"Isn't it a miraculous proof? Doesn't it mean that the editor-in-chief of Acta Mathematica Sinica never praises people, especially Chinese people?" Looking at this editor-in-chief's comment, Chen Zhou thought in his mind, "It seems that this Acta Mathematica Sinica is not absolute......

At this time, Wu Xiping said again: "Turn another page." ”

Chen Zhou turned the page according to Wu Xiping's words, and on the back, there were still four paragraphs.

The first paragraph is a statement of the editor-in-chief's comment that it is "miraculous proof".

Chen Zhou took a brief look and skipped it.

The next three paragraphs are the comments of the three reviewers on the paper.

[Chen Zhou used a wonderful proof method to tell us that there is nothing that cannot be proved by current technology. If there is, it's just that you haven't found the right way yet. ——Tao Zhexuan】

The first evaluation, Chen Zhou found it interesting as soon as he read it, and it was even more interesting when he looked at the name of the reviewer again.

Chen Zhou didn't expect Professor Tao Zhexuan to ridicule himself with the words he had posted on his blog before, and instead praise him.

It can only be said that Professor Tao probably only cares about the results of mathematics, and does not care about the so-called surface.

Chen Zhou thought that if he had the opportunity to communicate with this kind of mathematician, he should collide with a lot of sparks.

Moving on, there's the second evaluation.

[Perfect proof method, Chen Zhou successfully turned this conjecture with many names into a new theorem. – Andrew Wiles]

He was the first reviewer to reply to the editor of Acta Mathematica Sinica, Harfield, a prover of Fermat's theorem, a Wolf Prize winner, and a silver medalist of the Fields Medal, a special prize of the International Mathematical Union.

Chen Zhou was really surprised when he saw this person's name.

This is the man who killed the mathematical conjecture that has existed for more than 300 years.

Moreover, the evaluation of "perfect proof method" also means that Wiles completely agrees with Chen Zhou's proof method and cannot find any fault.

Chen Zhou was slightly complacent, he felt that Wiles's vision was good!

There is one last reviewer's evaluation left.

Chen Zhou first glanced at the name of the reviewer.

Gerd Faltings.

This name was even more surprising than Chen Zhou when he saw the names of the first two bigwigs.

It's not that Faltins is both a proof of Modell's conjecture and a Fields Medal-winning bigwig.

It's because it's a math ...... Professor!

This German mathematician, in addition to being a big man himself, has also taught a lot of top students.

Among them is Shinichi Mochizuki, who claims to prove the ABC conjecture and is suspected to be the founder of Bitcoin.

Chen Zhou didn't expect that the cold boss in this impression would be his reviewer.

Also, what is more interesting is that Professor Zhang Shouwu, who helped a friend invite Chen Zhou to join the research group, is also a student of Faltins.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Zhou glanced at Professor Faltins' assessment.

It can be seen that he has thought about each step of the pen before he starts to prove it, and after he puts the pen down, he has built a rigorous calculation formula. Every step of the way, flawless——Gerd Faltings]

Faltins's evaluation is quite high.

Three bigwigs, two Fields Medal winners, one Fields Medal silver medalist, and two have proven world-class mathematical conjectures.

Now, all of them have been highly praised by Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Chen Zhou didn't speak, Wu Xiping thought he was too excited, so he said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you speechless with excitement? Let me tell you, it's normal to be excited, after all, it is a solution to a world-class problem, and there is high praise from so many world-famous mathematicians and world-class mathematics journals." If it were me, I would have to be so excited that I couldn't speak for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Xiping, his face was a little strange.

He was indeed a little excited, but not as excited as Wu Xiping said, so excited that he couldn't speak.

And to speak from the heart, when he saw these evaluations, his heart was more of a feeling of being recognized.

Chen Zhou thought about it for a while, hesitated and said, "It's a little excited, but it's okay......"

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Wu Xiping was stunned at first, and then stared at Chen Zhou.

What do you mean to be a little excited?

Are you kid pretending?

But this doesn't look like pretending to be calm, right?

Could this kid really have ...... A little excited?

To be honest, whether it was him, Zhang Zhongyuan, or everyone in the Yan University Mathematics Academy, or the people who knew that Chen Zhou was studying the hail conjecture because of that Qiu race.

None of them thought that Chen Zhou could achieve results in the hail conjecture.

Not to mention, the hail conjecture was completely proven.

It's completely unthinkable, okay?!

But as a result, who would have thought that if this was released, it would really be done.

A world-class problem that has stumped countless mathematicians was solved by him as an undergraduate!

Then, the undergraduate was saying in front of himself that he was just a little excited......

Wu Xiping stopped talking, he regretted a little, he just said such a lot.

The graduate student who moved the stool for Chen Zhou before naturally heard Chen Zhou's words, and sighed in his heart, the big guy who can solve world-class problems is really stable enough.

If this were him, he would probably have gone to heaven by now......

"Ahem......" Wu Xiping coughed lightly twice, took a sip of tea from his cup, skipped the topic directly, and said instead, "I thought your growth rate was already fast, but I still underestimated you." Of all the students I've had, if nothing else, there's no one else who has achieved anything at your current age!"

In fact, Wu Xiping's real thoughts are that not only the achievements of Chen Zhou at his current age, but also among all the students, no one can come up with a single result to solve a world-class problem.

Some things, just talent, have nothing to do with age.

This compliment, Chen Zhou is still quite useful.

After all, the hail conjecture was solved by him independently, and no matter how much praise he received, he could accept it calmly.

But Professor Wu praised him so much, and he couldn't help but respond.

Chen Zhou said: "Professor Wu, you have won the award, which is mainly related to your topic, and you have accumulated a lot of experience. Then this time I happened to have an inspiration, and I solved the hail conjecture. ”

Wu Xiping glanced at Chen Zhou angrily, his words were really not mellow at all.

Gained experience with his subject?

His subject has nothing to do with hail conjectures.

If he could accumulate experience, then why couldn't he solve the hail conjecture himself?

Seeing that Wu Xiping didn't speak, Chen Zhou laughed dryly to ease the slightly embarrassing atmosphere.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhou asked, "Professor Wu, how do you know that I published this paper?"

Wu Xiping stretched out his hand and took the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica, turned to the first page of the paper, and pointed to it: "Yenching University, Chen Zhou." Apart from you, which other Chen Zhou is there in Yanda?"

"Uh...... That's what I said......" Chen Zhou scratched his head, Yan Da seemed to have no one else calling him by this name.

At least, he hadn't heard it.

His name, to put it more profoundly, is the ambition to break the kettle, and to say the sand sculpture point, that is, don't think about taking a boat in the future, afraid of sinking......

"Let's go, come with me to the dean's office. Wu Xiping put the "Acta Mathematica Sinica" away before getting up and saying.

"The dean's office, was that Dean Zhou last time?" Chen Zhou still remembers the picture of taking the 100,000 scholarship from Dean Zhou, which is very beautiful.

"It's not Dean Zhou, it's Dean Sun, the leader of the Academy. However, Dean Zhou is estimated to be there. Wu Xiping glanced at Chen Zhou and added, "I should give you a bonus again!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhou kept up with Wu Xiping's pace.

2nd floor of the administration building.

Wu Xiping took Chen Zhou to Dean Sun's office.

Push the door in.

Chen Zhou found several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Before Wu Xiping and Chen Zhou could say hello, they saw Dean Zhou, who was estimated to be by Wu Xiping, walking quickly in front of Chen Zhou: "Xiao Chen, did you send the paper on the proof of the hail conjecture in Acta Mathematica Sinica?"

Chen Zhou looked at Dean Zhou, who was excited, and the people with burning eyes, and nodded: "I sent it." ”

"Okay!" Before Dean Zhou could speak again, Chen Zhou heard a hello.

And the person who said this good voice was an old man with gray hair.

The old man walked up to Chen Zhou and said with a smile: "Good job! I have read your paper, the thinking is clear, the logic is self-consistent, the calculation is rigorous, and the proof process is very good!"

Chen Zhou looked at the old man in front of him and quickly matched the name of the person.

This old man is Dean Sun, the number one person in the Academy.

Chen Zhou has met twice, once at the opening ceremony of the Academy.

Not long ago, at the military training mobilization meeting of the Academy.

In the face of Dean Sun's praise, Chen Zhou smiled modestly.

Dean Sun looked at Chen Zhou and was quite satisfied, the young man was not arrogant or impatient, not bad.

Dean Sun said with some emotion: "Originally, in the last semester, when you won all the gold medals in Qiu Sai, I was going to talk to you, but I really couldn't get away, so I delayed. However, fortunately, it was delayed that you did not delay making such a big result. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou was a little confused, Dean Sun's expression ability was completely inferior to that of the mobilization meeting.

Looking at Chen Zhou's puzzled expression, Dean Sun explained with a smile: "I will look for you, mainly to talk to you about the research direction, and I want to persuade you to temporarily give up the research on the hail conjecture." At that time, you were studying the hail conjecture, and almost everyone knew about it. But almost, no one thinks you can do anything. Naturally, I was the same. ”

Speaking of this, Dean Sun restrained his laughter and said with a rather serious expression: "But obviously, we are all wrong! Only you are right! You have done what you say but everyone else thinks is impossible! Based on this alone, your future is limitless! To do great things, you still need young people like you!"

"Dean, you've got a good reputation. Chen Zhou was really embarrassed to be praised this time, and coughed lightly and said, "I also stood on the shoulders of giants, so I happened to grasp that trace of inspiration." ”

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Wu Xiping, who was standing on the side, immediately looked at Chen Zhou, how could this kid be so mellow?

How can I say that Dean Sun is the shoulders of giants, and I am accumulating experience?

As Wu Xiping thought, Dean Sun's face immediately showed an appreciative smile.

"Professor Wu, Chen Zhou, you all sit down. Dean Sun also began to beckon Chen Zhou and Wu Xiping to sit down.

After sitting down and pouring the tea, Chen Zhou followed Wu Xiping to the main purpose of coming here before he said it from Dean Sun's mouth.

"Chen Zhou, for your outstanding achievements, our school and college have corresponding reward policies. On the basis of the results of our meetings and discussions, a preliminary plan was drawn up. I came to you today to ask for your personal opinion again. ”

After speaking, Dean Xu looked at Dean Zhou and said, "Old Zhou, tell Chen Zhou about the plan we discussed." ”

Dean Zhou understood, so he explained the reward plan of Yan University.

When he heard the 1 million bonus, Chen Zhou felt a sense of happiness for a while.

This is 1 million, Chen Zhou is so big, I have never seen so much money......

Sure enough, knowledge is money!

So much so that what Dean Zhou said later about joint training, what was the termination of the double degree in the Department of Physics, etc., he only listened to a rough idea, and he didn't have the heart to listen to it at all!

Moreover, Chen Zhou felt that these previous compliments were all floating clouds, or was the bonus more exciting......

After Dean Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Chen Zhou and asked with a smile, "Chen Zhou, what do you think of this plan?"

Chen Zhou nodded, but then shook his head again.

Dean Zhou looked at Chen Zhou puzzled, what does this mean?

Chen Zhou thought for a while and said, "Dean Zhou, I don't really understand the meaning of the joint training program, and why should the double degree in the Department of Physics be terminated?"

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Dean Zhou was slightly stunned, he didn't know if Chen Zhou really didn't understand, or if he didn't understand.

As soon as he wanted to explain aloud, Dean Sun had already spoken first: "Chen Zhou, the joint training plan is that our Yan University will work with foreign universities to train you, and after you complete your undergraduate studies, you can go abroad to the planned university for further study." ”

"As for terminating the double degree in physics, it is also for your consideration. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to juggle so many disciplines at the same time. Throughout the ages, the whole person is very rare. Therefore, we hope that in the joint training program, you can concentrate on the study of mathematics. ”

After hearing this, Chen Zhou understood.

It means that you are concentrating on mathematics, and you are showing such a good talent now, don't waste it on physics.

When you graduate, we will arrange for you to go to the university with the best mathematics majors.

I'm sure I'll nurture you well.

If this plan fell on any ordinary student of the Academy, they would surely jump up with joy.

But Chen Zhou can't.

It's not that the plan is bad, it's actually quite good.

Everything is arranged, and he will definitely get the best training.

It's just that Chen Zhou still has a system, which is not only mathematics, but also physics, biology, chemistry, linguistics, and applied science.

People should not only have what is in front of them, but also poetry and distance!

Therefore, Chen Zhou politely refused: "Dean Sun, Dean Zhou, I can understand what you mean, but I'm afraid I can't accept this joint training plan." ”

Dean Zhou was surprised: "Why? Is there anything wrong with this plan?"

"No, the plan is good. It's just that it's not for me. Chen Zhou pondered for a moment and explained, "For example, in the eyes of outsiders, mathematics may be fish, while physics is a bear's paw, and fish and bear's paw cannot be both. But it seems to me that mathematics may be water, while physics is fish, and the two complement each other. ”

Although Chen Zhou's explanation is not very appropriate, it can be regarded as expressing his own meaning.

At this time, Dean Xu suddenly asked, "What if mathematics is a fish, and physics is a bear's paw?"

Chen Zhou raised his head, met Dean Xu's sharp gaze, sat up straight, and said without humility or arrogance: "I don't care what others do, I will have both fish and bear's paws!"

For a moment, there was a silence in the dean's office.

Immediately, Dean Xu laughed loudly: "Good boy! Sure enough, he has an indomitable momentum! Originally, I was going to ask your personal opinion today, but since you think it is not suitable, then we will discuss this plan again." Otherwise, the reward will become meaningless. ”

"Thank you, Dean. Chen Zhou said sincerely.

Chen Zhou's original intention was not to refuse the rewards of schools and colleges, he also hoped to obtain a training plan that suited him.

Dean Xu nodded, and then said, "If the one million bonus, ......"

Hearing the one million bonus, Chen Zhou's ears instantly turned up, and his eyes were even more focused on Dean Xu.

Dean Xu noticed Chen Zhou's expression and smiled softly: "Tomorrow we will arrange a ceremony and send you the bonus." When the time comes, you just need to cooperate. ”

Chen Zhou said happily: "No problem!"

Dean Xu said: "In addition, the state also strongly supports such major scientific research achievements. National-level rewards will also be in place in the future. ”

Chen Zhou nodded again and again: "Okay! Okay!"

Dean Xu pointed his finger at Chen Zhou: "You kid, this will be good, okay?"

Chen Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

Wu Xiping and Dean Zhou next to him also glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Dean Zhou was even more thinking, it would be better to give Chen Zhou more bonuses, what kind of training plan is this, just put it off.

In fact, if this is the case, Chen Zhou is still very acceptable.

To be reasonable, now he still thinks the bonus is more exciting.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Chen Zhou remembered Dean Yang's arrangement, and prepared to leave: "That's ...... Dean Sun, Dean Zhou, Professor Wu, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first?"

Dean Sun nodded: "Okay, you can go back first." ”

"Okay, Dean Sun. After Chen Zhou finished speaking, he left the dean's office.

And Wu Xiping is still here.

Dean Sun asked aloud: "Xiping, you are one of the few teachers who have taken Chen Zhou with you, and you are the tutor of his undergraduate thesis, what do you think?"

Wu Xiping thought for a while and said, "Dean, Chen Zhou, this student, I said that I understand and understand, and if I don't understand, I actually don't understand. ”

Dean Sun: "Let's talk about it carefully. ”

Wu Xiping said: "I said that I understood because Chen Zhou took the most class, which was my mathematical analysis, and the first project he participated in was also done with me. I see how fast he grows. At least, I've never seen anything like this in all my years of teaching. ”

"When he first came to Yan University, his mathematical ability could only be regarded as average. The three students in the same dormitory as him, Li Li, Zhao Qiqi, and Zhu Mingli, are all stronger than him. This can be seen from the answers in class. ”

"However, less than a month later. Chen Zhou's mathematical ability and reserve of mathematical knowledge have improved by leaps and bounds. Not only surpassed the three people in the same dormitory one by one, but also completely surpassed the students of the same class in the entire math college. This kind of learning ability, or this kind of mathematical talent, is rare!"

"As for the others, such as the perfect score across the grades, the full gold in the Qiu Sai, and the full score across the double system of the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics, you know it, Dean. ”

Dean Sun nodded: "What about those who don't understand?"

Wu Xiping said with some emotion: "What I don't understand is that in the case that he has achieved such achievements and has been able to solve world-class mathematical conjectures, how far will his future mathematical edifice go." ”

After a pause, Wu Xiping said sincerely: "Dean, I think we can help, let's help." It is not easy to produce a good seedling. We in the Chinese mathematics community have not spoken out internationally for a long time. ”

After Wu Xiping finished speaking, he looked at Dean Sun like this.

And Dean Sun also raised his head and looked at Wu Xiping like this.

Neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Dean Sun nodded slowly.

After Chen Zhou left the dean's office, he saw that the time was not early, so he went directly to the cafeteria.

After a simple lunch, I went back to the dormitory.

Wait for him to get back to his dorm.

Suddenly, Zhao Qiqi, Li Li, and Zhu Mingli surrounded them.

"Brother Chen, you're awesome!"

"Brother Chen, your proof of the hail conjecture is correct!

"Brother Chen, take a look at the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica......! The three big guys have given you high praise!"

Hearing the unified name of the three of them, and then looking at the appearance of the three of them who were much more excited than himself, Chen Zhou asked with a soft smile, "Where did you see it?"

Zhao Qiqi immediately pulled Chen Zhou to the computer, pointed to the campus post on it and said: "Here, this post called 'Yenching University!Chen Zhou!Prove the Hail Conjecture!', the author has pasted the paper about you in the latest issue of Acta Mathematica Sinica!"

Chen Zhou glanced at it, and sure enough, it was a published paper.

The comments below have exploded.

"Damn! this ...... This...... This is not a peerless double pride, this is a peerless god!"

"19-year-old proves world-class mathematical conjectures, and asks who else?"

I am also glad that Mr. Chen Zhou finally stretched out his hand to Yan University, and he is no longer just abusing our Yan University. Now, math students all over the world, tremble!

......

"I want to know, which of you has the contact information of Big Guy Chen Zhou, I want it!"

"What do you think, the big guy has a girlfriend!

"No, no, no, I can be the same-sex girlfriend of Big Guy Chen Zhou!

“......”

Chen Zhou was really taken aback by this person who was going to be his boyfriend, are people so unrestrained now?

Quickly withdraw your gaze and purify the filth you have just seen with a pure heart.

"Brother Chen, why don't I send your contact information?" Zhao Qiqi looked at Chen Zhou and couldn't help but quip.

"You dare!" Chen Zhou hurriedly said.

Chen Zhou can foresee that once his contact information is lost, I am afraid that he will not want to stop.

It was at this time.

The publication of a blog.

It instantly attracted the attention of people all over the world.
