Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Media Gathers

"Yo! The cars of the Imperial Court Terrace are still two!", in the parking lot of Beijing Normal University, the sharp-eyed students immediately found the two vehicles printed with the logo of the Imperial Court, "What's wrong with our school?"

"It should be a good thing, one of the two cars you see is from the Science and Technology Channel, and the other is from the News Channel! It must be which department of our school has made great achievements!", the classmate next to him said firmly.

"And the People's Daily, the Youth Daily! Could it be that the winners of this year's highest science and technology awards have been announced?" another student joined the discussion.

"Wouldn't it? One of the favorites who won this year's award is Academician Liu and the other is Academician Wang, one of them is from Shuimu and the other is from Southwest Associated University, and they are not from our Beijing Normal University!"

"Hey, I was taken by the people of Mizuki University last year, and this year there is no school for us, so I'm depressed!", the competition between Mizuki University and Kyoshi University is everywhere.

"What's the matter, weren't the two winners of the year before last our people? Besides, Academician Liu is also an adjunct professor of our school!", someone said disapprovingly.

"Come on, don't you see the car of the Youth Daily over there? Think about it, aren't the people you are talking about old? If so, will the Youth Daily come?", the speaker said in an envious tone after greatly despying the observation and judgment ability of this group of people, "I guess it is the work of which doctor caused a sensation!"

Just when these young students were speculating, many reporters had already arrived in the school's conference room, and the person in charge of the school's propaganda department welcomed them in one by one.

The two were reading a magazine together, and Professor Zhang pointed to Lu Qiujian's paper and whispered to the principal to explain the place of the Poincaré conjecture in mathematics and the significance of Lu Qiujian's paper.

The principal listened to Professor Zhang's explanation while looking at this paper, which is worthy of "Science", you look at this paper, you look at this ink, how can these English words of Beijing Normal University be so eye-catching! It looks like people feel comfortable in their hearts! This kid is really good, even if he has made achievements abroad, he has not forgotten his alma mater! When he comes back, he must praise him well! The principal gave Lu Qiujian thirty-two praises in his heart.

"Principal, the reporters are all here, do you think we should start now?", Minister Zhang, the head of the propaganda department, asked with a smile, this is a good opportunity for his department to show its strength!

Looking at the familiar logos on the microphones in the hands of the reporters below, the principal nodded with satisfaction, reluctantly put down the magazine, straightened his clothes and said, "Then let's start!"

"Friends from the media, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to Beijing Normal University, and I am here to express my gratitude to you only on behalf of Beijing Normal University!", Minister Zhang bowed to express his gratitude, and under the golden signboard of Beijing Normal University, these uncrowned kings also put away their former arrogance, and guessed what happened to Beijing Normal University while applauding.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to wait, and after a string of official words, Minister Zhang announced the reason for calling them this time, "There is a great joy to announce to you this time, and our principal is invited to come to the stage to announce it!"

The reporters below smiled secretly, but a cadre worthy of the treatment of a deputy minister should personally announce it, and this news would probably not be small, so they immediately cheered up, and opened the recorder while opening the small notebook to prepare for the record.

"Under the leadership of XXX and under the guidance of XXXX thought, Beijing Normal University has made great achievements in the development of science and technology in recent years", which is still the beginning of a series of official languages, of course, it is an educational institution after all, and the president only said five minutes before entering the text, "Lu Qiujian, a junior in the Department of Mathematics of our university, recently completed the cracking of the Poincaré conjecture, one of the seven major mathematical problems of the 21st century, which shook the entire mathematical community and added honor to Beijing Normal University and even the entire Chinese scientific community"

While speaking, Minister Zhang had already sent the copied "Science" magazine one by one, because he was afraid that some of the reporters would not be able to speak English, so he deliberately turned to the page where Lu Qiujian's paper was.

The reporters who could be invited by Minister Zhang have some understanding of science and technology and understand the status of Science in the scientific community, but Poincaré's conjecture is a bit professional, and after the president's announcement, the reporters from the imperial court station couldn't wait to stand up, "May I ask the president, can you explain to us the significance of solving this problem?"

"Professional questions are best answered by professional people, and I would like to invite Professor Zhang, head of the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University, to explain to us!", the president smiled and gave up the podium to Professor Zhang.

"Everyone knows about Mr. Chen Jingrun and Goldbach's conjecture, right?", Professor Zhang did not directly tell the Poincaré conjecture, but told the story of another mathematician according to the manuscript given by Assistant Liu.

These words really played a very good role, relying on the propaganda of the year, Chen Jingrun was probably one of the most well-known mathematicians in China, and the Goldbach conjecture has also become the most widely known mathematical problem, until now the Department of Mathematics of Beijing Normal University will often receive letters from folk scientists claiming that they have solved the Goldbach conjecture.

The reporters in the audience immediately cheered up, they had vaguely understood the status and significance of this achievement, and the reporters from the imperial court station stood up again and asked, "Do you mean that the results made by Mr. Lu now are comparable to those of Mr. Chen Jingrun?"

"I'm afraid it's a little different!", Professor Zhang shook his head and said, "First of all, just a few months ago, the scientific advisory board of the Clay Institute of Mathematics selected seven 'Millennium Prize problems', including the NP complete problem, the Hodge conjecture, the Poincaré conjecture, the Riemann conjecture, the Jan Mills theory, the Nevell-Stoker equation, and the BSD conjecture! The reason is that on the one hand, the Riemann conjecture involves a wider range of mathematical knowledge than the Goldbach conjecture, and on the other hand, assuming that the generalized Riemann conjecture is true, the weak Goldbach conjecture is correct for sufficiently large odd numbers. ”

Professor Zhang paused for a moment for the reporters to digest his words and then said, "So in a sense, it can be said that the Riemann conjecture is more important than the Goldbach conjecture, and then it can also be said that the Poincaré conjecture on the same level as the Riemann conjecture is also more important than the Goldbach conjecture; ”

In the end, Professor Zhang looked at the reporters with a smile, took a deep breath and said, "So we can think that the achievements of Lu Qiujian have a greater impact than Mr. Chen's achievements back then!"

Kneeling and begging for a Sanjiang ticket, there is still a chapter at nine o'clock.
