Hu Yiting opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings were white, and there seemed to be a layer of fog in front of him gradually dissipating.

A figure gradually became clear, it was Cao Yunuan, and she also held one hand in her hand, warm and warm, and her palms were a little slippery.

Seeing Hu Yiting wake up, Cao Yunuan cried with joy: "Hu Yiting, Hu Yiting, are you awake?"

Hu Yiting smiled forgively, saw that Cao Yunuan's eyes were red, and then looked fixedly, but he was in the hospital.

Wang Lili's voice came from the other side of the hospital bed: "Hu Yiting, you can sleep too well, for 24 hours, I was worried to death, how can I explain to your parents if you want to have a good one." ”

Hu Yiting turned his face and saw Wang Lili sitting on his left hand side with a haggard face, watching him take a drip.

"Did I faint?" asked Hu Yiting, looking at the label of the glucose solution attached to the hanging bottle.

"The doctor said you're not sick, but you're too tired and need a good rest. ”

Hu Yiting was worried about business, and sat up straight: "Where's my manuscript?"

Cao Yunuan snatched the pillow behind him: "I have taken it to the Institute of Data Research for verification, I heard Academician Wu Wenjun say that this time I can't run to put a big satellite!"

Wang Lili smiled and pulled out a thick stack of newspapers from the bedside table next to the hospital bed, pointed to the headline: "Look, it's all news about you." ”

Hu Yiting followed her finger and saw that the "People's Daily" was impressively written on the science and technology news page "The genius boy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences challenged Poincaré's conjecture and was affirmed by the academician".

Another "Xinhua Daily Telegraph" even opened up an index title at the bottom of the front page that followed the fifth edition "The Centennial Mystery of World Mathematics is Expected to Be Solved by Chinese Prodigies", and when I turned to the fifth edition, I saw a photo of Hu Yiting lying on the coffee table in Liu's office.

The third newspaper was "Reference News", with a longer headline, "Prodigy is expected to win the Poincaré conjecture after winning the 16-year vacant grand prize in the National Science and Technology Competition for Middle School Students".

The title of the fourth "Beidu Daily" is "The genius boy successfully broke the Poincaré conjecture, which is more difficult than the Goldbach conjecture"

The fifth "China Youth Daily" headline is "Young Heroes Attack with Swords, the World's Highest Problem in Mathematics, the Poincaré Conjecture".

Seeing Hu Yiting looking at these news headlines with a smile, Wang Lili and Cao Yunuan were also overjoyed, and their eyes were filled with admiration and even admiration that did not match his age.

Hu Yiting looked at these headlines and sighed: "I'm going to go to the computing institute to find Director Liu and ask what to do about the contract." ”

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Tu Xiaobo, who had received Wang Lili's report before, rushed in and said with a hearty smile: "What kind of contract is not contracted, Hu Yiting, you lie down quickly, there is a leader who wants to come to see you in the afternoon." ”

"What's wrong?" asked Hu Yiting.

Tu Xiaobo couldn't hide his excitement: "In the afternoon, President Zhou Guangzhao of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will come to see you, and Vice Minister Xiong of the Ministry of Education will also come, as well as comrades from the Beijing Metropolitan Association for Science and Technology, as well as leaders and trade union representatives of the Institute of Mathematics. ”

Hu Yiting couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this: "The trade union is also coming, big brother, can you be serious?"

Tu Xiaobo smiled and pressed Hu Yiting on the pillow: "Don't get up! I'll tell you not to get up! When the leader's condolences are over, you can go wherever you want." ”

After speaking, he added: "Liu Suo asked me to sue you, if you don't agree to the intentional agreement he signed, forget it, and he will talk to you in detail later, you can just rest assured now." ”

Hu Yiting breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay." ”

Tu Xiaobo smiled: "You kid is quite calm, you don't want to ask if the proof you wrote is verified?"

Hu Yiting laughed: "I have confidence in myself. Besides, I'm done writing it, and even if I don't understand guò, I won't be able to write a second version, and this time I'll be tired enough, and I won't want to see the equation for a while. ”

Tu Xiaobo laughed: "I really worked hard for you this time, I tell you that the Institute of Mathematics has gathered a number of experts this time, and has completed a preliminary demonstration of your proof process, and intends to send it to the Journal of the Chinese Mathematical Society for publication.

Next, the Chinese Mathematical Society will hold an expert meeting in Beidu, and ask the authorities of universities and mathematical research units across the country to conduct expert review of your proof. ”

Cao Yunuan said excitedly: "Chern's Mathematics Prize!?Fields Medal!God! These two awards will be awarded in '98, right?"

Wang Lili's face was unclear.

Hu Yiting asked, "How much is the bonus?"

Tu Xiaobo said with a smile: "The Chern's Mathematics Award can have a prize of 100,000 yuan, and the Fields Medal has 1,500 US dollars, but the main thing is honor, and the influence of these two awards at home and abroad is much more important than any bonus!"

Hu Yiting sighed in his heart: "If only we could wait until after 2000 to publish it, then the million-dollar prize offered by the Clay Institute of Mathematics in the United States in the millennium will not be lost." With such a toss in advance, the "Seven Millennium Problems" offered by the Clay Institute of Mathematics are estimated to become the Big Six. ”

At this time, Hu Yiting felt that his stomach was empty, and his hunger came up, so Wang Lili hurriedly went to the hospital canteen to make him a white porridge with an enamel cup.

After the hot porridge was in his stomach, Hu Yiting sweated profusely, so he took a shower in the single ward.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Academician Zhou Guangzhao, president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, came to the ward and made a special trip to visit Hu Yiting.

Hu Yiting heard the constant greetings outside, and then saw a spirited old man walk in, his figure was as straight as a javelin, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt that was a little stuffy compared to summer, dark blue single cloth trousers, a pair of calm eyes under the white eyebrows seemed to be able to see through time and space, and his upright demeanor made him exude wisdom and a sense of justice.

"Hello Hu Yiting, I am Zhou Guangzhao, President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and today I am visiting you on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you have worked hard. ”

Hu Yiting shook hands with Academician Zhou with a smile, and his heart was very excited, this was the first time he faced the heroes of the two bombs and one star, but he did not feel nervous.

After some chatting, Dean Zhou said: "Today I had a one-day meeting in the State Council, and the prime minister told me that I heard that the Chinese Academy of Sciences had released a satellite, and asked me to tell him what the Poincaré conjecture was. ”

Hu Yiting said with a smile: "There's nothing to say, I was just impulsive, and now I think back a little scared, if I can't prove it, then I'll become a liar." ”

Dean Zhou laughed: "When I listened to the report of the Institute of Mathematics, I thought you were a liar, but after reading your proof, I didn't understand half of it, I thought, well, this young man has two brushes, he is definitely not a liar, I have to go and see this young genius with my own eyes." ”

Hu Yiting smiled: "Then you saw a real person today, how about it, one nose and two eyes, not a monster, right?"

Academician Zhou was amused by Hu Yiting: "Okay, good, the young man also has a great sense of humor, very rare, and is a talent! You don't feel nervous when you see me, that's the best, let me ask you, I looked at your file and family situation, it seems that your parents, including relatives, have nothing to do with mathematics, so how do you usually learn by yourself?"

Hu Yiting took out the answer that he had thought of a long time ago: "I have a better memory than others since I was a child, and when I look at things, I always think of relevant principles and knowledge inexplicably, and then I will ponder the manufacturing process of these things, technical and technological difficulties, and knowledge points that need to be solved in mathematics and physics. ”

Dean Zhou said movingly: "Your talent is very remarkable! I know that some geniuses are like you, and they can often see the subtleties, and talents like you have made important contributions to promoting scientific and technological progress." I have always believed that the academic performance of primary and secondary schools should not be taken too seriously, especially for a smart child like you, as long as you want to do well, you will naturally do well. I looked at your file, and my grades were mediocre before, but when I was about to take the high school entrance exam in the third year of junior high school, I suddenly got the first good score in the whole grade, what does this mean? This is a genius!"

Hu Yiting intended to lead Academician Zhou's thinking in this direction, and said with a smile: "Before that, I didn't read much books and do homework, but I was in a hurry, for fear that I wouldn't be able to get into a key high school, so I reviewed it and memorized everything I should memorize. ”

In the 90s, there were several big national swindlers in China, including religious, commercial, scientific research, and qigong, in short, there were all kinds of people, and many of the deceived were high-level leaders, including a large number of scientific and technological workers.

It seems that after experiencing a cultural revolution and the turbulent trend of thought of reform and opening up, people have produced contradictions and wavering ideological crises, and Chinese culture has seen a turbulent breakthrough in this special era, and the trend of thinking of worshipping foreigners and superstitions and mysteries is very popular.

Although Dean Zhou is not an admirer of mysticism, he has been more or less influenced by this era, and feels that a young genius like Hu Yiting cannot be measured and explained by common sense, and this is precisely what attracts him the most.

Dean Zhou nodded heavily: "This shows that your IQ is very high! Normal people need to spend time thinking to deduce the logical process of the result, you can subconsciously and quickly complete the entire derivation process according to the known principles and theorems, and directly get the answer, so you can get the first amazing result in the whole grade just by studying by surprise." ”

Hu Yiting's face suddenly realized: "So that's the case? No wonder some questions are said to be difficult, because I haven't done it before, so I don't know the solution idea, but I can subconsciously know what to do as long as I look at it, and I haven't done similar questions before." ”

Dean Zhou looked proud and said kindly: "Yes, I knew it was like this! I sue you, this is a genius! Ordinary people can't learn it! You know Mr. Yu Min, the father of our country's **? He is three years older than me, but he has this kind of genius, the calculation team spent a week to calculate the results, he can roughly judge whether it is correct or not at a glance, and even before the calculation, he can judge what range the result should be, beyond this range must be impossible, this is called mathematical intuition, ordinary people do not have this concept at all, in fact, this is talent!"

After speaking, Dean Zhou touched Hu Yiting's head with a smile, and couldn't help but say happily: "I believe that there are geniuses, boy, do you want to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for graduate school?"

Hu Yiting hurriedly said: "I don't want to! I haven't been in high school yet." ”
