They chatted until noon, and after lunch, the three of them dispersed; dinner was with Minister Zhang, and at the wine table, he communicated with Lu Qiujian in detail about the process and content of next year's press conference, but whenever Lu Qiujian felt that there was something inappropriate, he decisively removed it.

After the press conference, Lu Qiujian had a ticket to go home the day after tomorrow; his home was in a small city in the northeast and there was no airport, so he had to take a plane to the provincial capital first, and then transfer a train from the provincial capital to get home.

The next day, Lu Qiujian, accompanied by Minister Zhang, came to the press conference and glanced at it hastily, and there were almost 100 TV, newspapers, Internet and other media!

When Lu Qiujian took the stage, the flashing lights lit up; after Minister Zhang finished explaining the process of the press conference, he flashed aside, and Lu Qiujian briefly introduced his own process of cracking the Poincaré conjecture, and then it was time for reporters to ask questions.

At this time, it is natural to take care of acquaintances, Lu Qiujian gave Li Xiao the first opportunity, he stood up and asked, "We all know the significance of the Poincaré conjecture now, and at the same time, the media in the United States have listed you as a popular candidate for the next Fields Medal, are you confident of winning the award?"

Since the reopening of the country in the seventies and eighties, after seeing the huge gap between themselves and the West, some people from all walks of life in China have begun to lose confidence and try their best to go abroad; some people have been catching up and slowly catching up in many fields such as sports and economics, but there are few achievements that can be ahead of the West in the forefront of science; Li Xiao's words are also the most concerned issue for the reporters on the scene, and they extremely hope that an orthodox Chinese can stand on the highest podium in science.

Ordinary people may be humble at this time and give an ambiguous answer, but Lu Qiujian chose to answer positively, "The solution of Poincaré's conjecture will definitely leave a glorious page in the history of mathematics, and I believe that my achievements are enough to win the Fields Medal!"

The media reporters were also greatly surprised by Lu Qiujian's answer, they did not expect Lu Qiujian to be so confident; this is not to blame them; after all, there is indeed a huge gap between China's scientific circles and foreign countries, and we started so many years later than the West, and our middle age has been interrupted by various sports, and since the resumption of the college entrance examination, it will not take us 30 years to catch up with the West! They cannot believe that someone has achieved results that the West looks up to in such a short period of time.

"What if there is an accident?", someone stood up and asked regardless of the order of the scene.

"If a scientist is not confident in his own achievements, it will be his sorrow! My confidence comes not only from myself, but also from the teachings of the teachers at Beijing Normal University, and from the tireless pursuit of the scientific community for many years. Speaking of this, Lu Qiujian took a deep breath before continuing, "After decades of catching up, it is time to make achievements; I believe that after me, there will be Chinese scientists who will win scientific awards such as the Lacks Prize and the Nobel Prize, and I don't think it will be more than fifteen years!"

Fifteen years! Nobel Prize! These two words really dazzled the reporter again, and even Minister Zhang next to him was sweating with anxiety, how could he say such things casually? If there was no Lu Qiujian's reputation at that time, it would be ruined!

Compared with the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize is undoubtedly more famous, and the reporters quickly began to discuss it enthusiastically, and for a while they forgot to continue asking questions.

Seeing that no one raised his hand, Feng Hongqi hurriedly ignored the fact that this was a press conference about Poincaré's conjecture, quickly stood up, and asked after obtaining permission, "Now that the Olympic Games are less than a year away, will you participate in the Olympic Games?"

"Brother Yao also asked me this question before, but I didn't give a definite answer at that time! It's the same now, before the Olympics, I have to prepare my graduation thesis, and I have to apply for a doctoral school, so I don't necessarily have time. Lu Qiujian did not agree or directly deny it, "Well, this topic is over, and I will only answer questions related to Poincaré's conjecture in the next time!"

"According to the comments of the mathematical community, there are still some details of your paper that have not yet been completed, and it cannot be said that the Poincaré conjecture has been completely solved; will you complete these tasks in the near future?" a reporter from Science and Technology Daily asked.

"That's other people's opinion, for me the work is done!", I'm much more reliable than Professor Thurston, if there are seven steps to solve this problem, I have already written four, and the remaining three can be figured out with a little effort; if Professor Thurston comes, he can write two! If anyone can't read it, they will be despised by Professor Thurston, "Then I will turn the focus of my work in other directions!"

There are always picky guys at press conferences, and this time it was a polite man who stood up, and after obtaining permission, he took the microphone and asked, "Hello Mr. Lu, I am Li Yifeng, a first-class reporter of Xinhua North Daily; I got a message through some channels, it seems that Yale University submitted a proof paper on the Poincaré conjecture before your paper was published, and what is even more surprising is that the idea of your paper seems to be similar to the paper submitted by Yale University!" Can you do this, what the hell is going on?"

What do you mean that my thesis idea is similar to the thesis idea submitted by Yale? Lu Qiujian's eyes shrank slightly, this is looking for trouble!

Since he was here to smash the field, he didn't need to be so polite, he said coldly, "I have four points on this issue:

First, Yale did submit almost the same paper to Science as I did.

Second, the reason for this is that the Yale student saw my submission through his mentor Felig, who was a reviewer for Science, and persuaded his supervisor to reject my paper and plagiarize it and resubmit it to Science!

Third, the Yale plagiarism has been revealed, and the two plagiarists have been duly punished, and the ownership of this achievement should undoubtedly belong to me!

Fourth, Arsenal!"
