Chapter 264: The First Intimate Contact with Simon

Chapter 264

September 7, 2018, the day before the International Congress of Mathematicians.

According to the plan of the International Mathematical Union, this International Congress of Mathematicians will last for half a month.

The period is from September 8th to September 23rd!

Up to now, most of the mathematicians who participated in the conference have lived in the five-star of the Yenching International Convention Center.

Of course, there is another batch, which is still on its way.

Among them was the Delegation of Germany.

Yenching International Airport.

Bao Songquan took several teachers, including Gu Lu, and waited at the exit of the airport to pick up the plane.

After waiting for about half an hour, a German delegation of dozens of people appeared in everyone's sight.

At the head of the German delegation was an old man in his sixties who was still in good spirits.

Gu Lu recognized the old man.

Professor Lucas, Dean of the School of Mathematics at the University of Bonn, Germany, is a world-class superstar in the field of algebraic geometry, and a winner of the Wolf Prize.

Of course, this old professor has another identity, that is, Simon's mentor.

Looking away from Professor Lucas, Gu Lu's gaze fell on a mathematician with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and curly blond hair, who was about thirty-four or five years old after Professor Lucas.

Simon Dicks!

Simon's looks, placed among the Germans, belong to the kind of ordinary looks that are popular.

But Gu Lu still recognized Simon at a glance.

It's not Simon's strong momentum that can be felt from afar.

But......

Gu Lu had seen Simon's photos before.

Simon's side.

In the huge group of pick-up personnel in the Yan University Academy, Simon's eyes quickly locked on Gu Lu.

There is no other reason.

It's really Gu Lu's appearance is too outstanding!

Even Simon, who is a man, has to admit that Gu Lu is a handsome guy of all standards.

It's the kind that is hard to forget when you glance at it in the crowd.

Whether Gu Lu has the highest academic level among the younger generation in the mathematics community, Simon does not know.

But one thing is for sure, Simon is definitely the most handsome of the younger generation in mathematics!

Even Simon can't deny this.

Gu Lu and Simon quickly locked on to each other.

The two looked at each other.

No one spoke, but the hostility was felt even by others.

Bao Songquan looked at Gu Lu with a smile, then at Simon from the German delegation, and at Professor Lucas shaking hands with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, Bao Songquan turned the topic to Simon.

Bao Songquan politely stretched out his hand, "Mr. Simon, hello, I am the vice president of the Yan University School of Mathematics, Bao Songquan." ”

Simon smiled faintly and shook hands with Bao Songquan, "Dean Bao, hello." ”

Bao Songquan turned his head to Professor Lucas and smiled, "Professor Lucas, I have heard of the reputation of your disciple for a long time. I have never heard of it, but when I see it today, Mr. Simon really deserves to be called the golden generation in the field of algebraic geometry! The name of genius is indeed worthy of the name. ”

Professor Lucas shook his head and smiled, "Dean Bao is really false. Speaking of genius, your junior brother can really take on these two words. ”

"No, no, no, it's Lucas who teaches your disciple to be better!"

"NoNoNo, I think Dean Bao, your junior brother is more qualified to be called a genius!"

…………

Bao Songquan and Professor Lucas began to compliment each other endlessly.

In the end, Mr. Shi reminded that the two realized that it was not too early, so they ended the mutual praise session, got in the car and carried the German delegation to the Yanjing International Conference Center.

It should be the deliberate work of Bao Songquan and Professor Lucas, Gu Lu and Simon were assigned to the same car.

Moreover, Gu Lu was also told by Bao Songquan that during the meeting, Simon's reception work fell on him!

It's really a pain!

After getting into the car, Gu Lu and Simon sat on the back side of the car alone.

Gu Lu leaned against the left window, leaning his head against the window and pretending to look at the scenery.

And so did Simon.

Neither of them cared about anyone.

Obviously, neither of them had the intention of speaking first.

As a result, the atmosphere in the car fell into a rather eerie silence.

…………

The car was moving slowly.

The Yenching International Conference Center, where the International Congress of Mathematicians is located, is located in the bustling Asian Games Village area of the North Fourth Ring Road.

It's not that far from Yanjing International Airport.

So in less than half an hour, dozens of people, including the Yan University School of Mathematics and the German delegation, drove into the outdoor parking lot of the International Conference Center one after another.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, a foreigner in his thirties with meticulous hair combed happened to push the car door and get out of the car.

And Simon, who was sitting in the car, his pupils shrank sharply when his eyes inadvertently fell on the middle-aged man.

"Konstantin Langton!"

Simon gently spat out the man's name.

It can be seen that Simon looked at the foreign middle-aged man with a hint of jealousy.

"Is that really Konstantin Langton?"

Just as Simon's eyes were locked on Konstantin, an unfamiliar voice was suddenly heard.

Simon turned his head and looked at Gu Lu, who was smiling slightly.

Simon has a lot of things to say to Gu Lu, and even, if possible, Simon wants to have a real PK with Gu Lu.

But in the end, Simon just nodded lightly and said, "That's right, it's Konstantin, I won't admit it." ”

The first historic conversation between Gu Lu and Simon ended like this.

However, the two have no energy to care about each other's grievances for the time being.

Because the person named Konstantin Langton that the two of them saw through the car window was an even more feared existence.

Konstantin Langton, 36, a Swiss national, is currently a professor at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and is the most popular mathematician on the Fields Medal shortlist.

Unlike most mathematicians, Konstantin had a main focus, and his research results spread across all branches of mathematics.

In the field of partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations, he has published three papers and proposed differential calculation methods for microlocal analysis, which have been used by countless colleagues.

In terms of geometry, on the basis of Euler geometry, a set of toric surface theory with a small scope of application is established.

In the field of number theory, where the competition is more brutal on the battlefield, the quadratic inverse law proposed by him has also caused a lot of storm in the simplicity of solving the Diophantine equation.

Even in the field of algebraic geometry, where geniuses gather, Konstantin still occupies a place.

Some call him an all-round mathematician, and some theists claim that he is the reincarnation of Euler.

Because Euler at that time was also as omnipotent as Constantine, his research fields covered number theory, algebra, functions, geometry, infinite series, differentiation, variation, ......
