Chapter 106: The Ozark Plateau
"Professor Gowers, did you say yes?", after waiting for several days and still not receiving the news, the person in charge of the school's external propaganda department couldn't sit still, and hurriedly pushed open the door of Professor Gowers's office.
"Promise what?", a gray head popped out from behind the computer, blinking innocent eyes.
"About holding a special report on the Poincaré conjecture!", said the lady, who had always been known for her good temper, with great difficulty in suppressing her anger, word by word.
"Oh, yes, the symposium!", Professor Gowers patted his forehead, and then looked at her sincerely, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about it, Lu showed me a new paper that day, which gave me new inspiration, and I've been thinking about this for the past two days!"
Well, since Princeton can tolerate scholars like Nash and Wiles, it's normal for someone like Goles to forget something because of inspiration! The lady took two steps forward, propped herself on Professor Goles's desk with her hands, and asked softly, "Do you think you can find time to settle this matter now?"
"You see, my research is at a critical time now!", Professor Gowers waved his arm to express that his research was disturbed, not thinking that the reason why people came to disturb him was because he forgot what the other party had told, he got up and took the lady's arm and walked out without any gentlemanly demeanor, "You can change someone to convince him that Professor Wiles, Professor Nan, and Professor Thurston have a good relationship with him." ”
"But!", she is now covered with black lines, and the scientists who have entered the research state are the most annoying!
"Alright, good luck with your work, goodbye!", Professor Gowers slammed the door to his office!
She stood in a daze, her face changing three times in an instant, and finally she could only stomp her foot angrily and walk towards the professor's lounge in the mathematics department, she didn't dare to knock on the door again, and the ghost knew how angry the professor would be when his inspiration was interrupted.
"Hey, ma'am, let's play a game!", as soon as he walked into the professor's lounge of the Department of Mathematics, a man with a disheveled head, a full beard, and walking around barefoot walked over, shaking the pen and paper in his hand, on which were drawn a number of neatly arranged circles, "Come play the game of life with me!".
"I'm sorry, Professor Conway, I have something else to do, have you met Professor Thurston or Professor Wiles?", this somewhat unusually looking man is also a professor in the mathematics department at Princeton, John Hutton Conway is one of the pioneers of combinatorial game theory, and founded the new number system superreal numbers, and is better known for inventing many interesting mathematical games, such as the game of life, the philosopher's football, and so on.
"John, I'll play with you later!", Professor Thurston came out to help her out, pulled Conway aside to calm him down, and then walked over, "Girl, what are you looking for me!"
"That's the case", she finally found someone who could communicate normally, she almost cried with joy, and hurriedly said her intentions, "So, can you help urge Lu Qiujian?"
"Uh!", Thurston scratched his head embarrassedly, "Lu hasn't been at school lately, I probably can't help you convince him, although I may be looking forward to this report meeting more than you!"
"Where did he go? Don't you have his phone?", the stick made her dizzy.
"You know, the exam is coming soon, and we didn't continue to lecture, but left them free time to complete their papers and prepare for revision! Lu said that he hadn't gone out to play since he came to the United States, so he told us and went hiking! Before leaving, he said that he didn't want to be disturbed, so he didn't even bring a phone!", Professor Thurston said, as for the exam and the paper, in his opinion, it would not cause any trouble to Lu Qiujian at all.
"Where did he go?"
"The Ozark Plateau!", hearing the name of this place, this lady was completely desperate, and there was no way to find someone in that kind of deserted place!
With the snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, and a shallow stream flowing slowly at the foot of the mountain, Lu Qiujian sat on the boulder by the stream and leisurely watched the fish frolic in the clear bottomless stream, completely immersed in this beautiful natural scenery.
"Nat, it's time to get up!", after a while, he turned back to the back and shouted, the smell coming from the pot above the portable fireproof stove beside him, "Breakfast is ready!"
With a hiss, a dark blue tent was pulled open in a gap on the flat ground behind her, a white arm stretched out, and Natalie said in a lazy voice, "Let me sleep a little longer, I slept too late last night!"
"Who hasn't wanted to sleep all along?", Lu Qiujian smiled, don't look at her figure looking petite, she didn't expect her energy to be so energetic, and she didn't rest until midnight.
There was no sound in the tent, it seemed that she had fallen asleep again, Lu Qiujian shook his head and stopped calling, it seemed that today's journey probably couldn't be completed as planned.
Ever since he had dealt with Professor Gowers's urging, he knew that the school would continue to advance, so he hurried away while he was relaxing before the exam, not believing that they would still find an inaccessible place like the Ozark Plateau!
Of course, he didn't forget to call Natalie when he came, although she also had to prepare for the exam, but she still couldn't refuse Lu Qiujian's temptation, and the two of them rarely put aside their studies for a while and came to the Orzark Plateau, a hiking mecca in Arkansas.
After a while, just as the fire was about to go out, the sparse sound of dressing sounded in the tent, and Natalie finally woke up from her sleep.
"Eh, this T-shirt seems to be mine?", the hem of the dress was almost up to Natalie's knees, and the wide neckline revealed a piece of tender white, which made Lu Qiujian quite regretful, but it was a pity that it was poor breasts, otherwise there would be a good scenery.
"I'll put it on first!", Natalie walked to the stream, picked up the stream water and washed up, climbed to the top of the boulder under the pull of Lu Qiujian, took the hot breakfast from him, and ate a few bites beautifully, "Your craftsmanship is simply amazing!"
If you weren't a vegetarian, you would have been able to make something even more delicious!" Lu Qiujian put his arm around her shoulder, "If you're not happy, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the scheduled destination!"
"Why rush when it's a relaxing trip!", Natalie stretched, "Isn't it good to just walk around and stop without a plan and without a destination that you have to reach?"
Well, that sounds good!
