Chapter 474

"Have you really figured out that the next step is to focus on overcoming the BSD conjecture?" asked Professor Fang.

Cheng Nuo nodded, "I think about it, I'm a little unwilling not to prove the full version of the BSD conjecture." What's more, I'm still young, so if I really can't do anything, it's okay to waste some time. ”

Cheng Nuo has always pursued perfection.

A few years ago, when he and Professor Fang jointly tackled the weak BSD conjecture, Cheng Nuo had the idea of directly proving the complete version of the BSD conjecture in one go.

But unfortunately, the strength at that time was not enough, so I had to give up.

But now it's different, in terms of mathematics alone, Cheng Nuo has become the top handful of people in the world.

In other people's populations, it is also a "big bull" level existence.

When the time came, Cheng Nuo felt that he could give it a try.

Although the BSD conjecture is difficult, it is not to the extent that Cheng Nuo is afraid.

Give it a go, and turn your bike into a motorcycle.

Moreover, Cheng Nuo, who has solved the two major problems of the Jacobi conjecture, the Cheng's complex ring conjecture, the Taniyama Shimura conjecture, and the minimalist program, is at a time when the momentum is strong, which makes him have an indomitable faith.

This is Cheng Nuo's best chance!

Knowing that Cheng Nuo's mind was difficult to change, Professor Fang no longer dissuaded him, and he asked, "Are you going to do it alone?"

"If you can, I'd like you to come and help me. Cheng Nuo's eyes were filled with hope.

Professor Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Teacher, I'm already old, and I feel that my thinking ability has deteriorated a lot in the past few years. Take me with you, not only will it not help you, it will drag you back. ”

"But don't worry, I can't help you, but someone can help you. ”

"Who is it?"

Last year, we hired him as a professor at our college. I'll make an appointment for you to meet. I believe that there will be many common languages between you. Professor Fang smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Wei, Cheng Nuo knows this.

Like Cheng Nuo, Zhang Wei graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree and studied abroad at Columbia University during his graduate studies, specializing in number theory.

Of course, now Cheng Nuo has been hailed by the outside world as the leader of the golden generation.

After finishing the conversation with Professor Fang, Cheng Nuo received a call from the current dean of the School of Mathematics of Tsinghua University before he left the apartment building, asking him to come to the mathematics office building.

"Appointment ceremony?" After listening to the dean's story, Cheng Nuo grew his mouth and waved his hand again and again, "Dean, there is no need, I don't like such a high profile." ”

Academician Ding Chunrong, the current dean of the School of Mathematics, said in an irrefutable tone, "This is not a question of whether you want to be responsible or not, whether you agree with it or not, this appointment ceremony must be held! And it must be done with great fanfare!"

He looked at Cheng Nuo, "Cheng Nuo, what you need to do." Just cooperate well. ”

What kind of important role Cheng Nuozhi has in the Chinese mathematical community, Academician Ding is very clear.

Cheng Nuo agreed to Tsinghua University and teach at Tsinghua University without any hesitation, and I don't know how many universities and scientific research institutions will be blushing.

Therefore, regarding the appointment ceremony, Tsinghua must express sufficient attention.

At the same time, it shatters the illusion that other institutions want to take advantage of the situation.

"Uh, okay. It's all up to the dean's arrangement. Cheng Nuo replied helplessly.

He really wanted to keep a low profile this time and couldn't think of the limelight, but Dean Dante didn't agree.

This time, I can't do it if I don't want to be in the limelight!

Hey, melancholy, really melancholy!

"By the way, Dean, I'll talk to you about something. Cheng Nuo rubbed his hands and said.

Academician Ding took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You don't need to go around the bend with me, you can talk about something directly." ”

"Recently, I am going to start a new project, and in terms of project funding, I ......"

"You don't have to worry about that. Dean Ding waved his hand, "You are a talent introduced by the Thousand Talents Program, and in terms of welfare, there is a research fund of one million per year, and if the money is not enough, it can be increased as appropriate." ”

"You know, we study mathematics, and one million research funds are definitely enough, so you don't have to worry about this. ”

Cheng Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'll submit the application form to you in a few days." ”

"Don't be so troublesome, you just go directly to the Institute of Mathematics to approve the research funds, and I will have to go around in a big circle. Academician Ding picked up the teacup, "By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the research content of your new project?"

"Proof of the BSD conjecture. Cheng Nuo replied truthfully.

Poof——!

Academician Ding squirted out a sip of tea.

Like Professor Fang's reaction, Academician Ding also stood up directly with a "Teng".

"Do you say it again?" Academician Ding stared at Cheng Nuo.

"Uh, proof of BSD's conjecture, what's the problem?"

"There's a problem, there's a big problem!" Academician Ding walked up to Cheng Nuo and said in a fierce tone, "Why don't you study your geometry problem well, why do you run over and mix BSD conjectures?"

"I felt that I was about to reach the extreme in the field of geometry, and it would be difficult for me to improve for a while, so I wanted to change directions. Cheng Nuo looked innocent.

"So you picked the BSD conjecture?"

Academician Ding had an urge to scold.

The BSD conjecture is a pit, a big pit! This is a fact that has been proven by the bloody experience of dozens of generations of mathematics over the past few hundred years.

How many well-known mathematicians have fallen into this pit and never climbed out again.

Cheng Nuo is now the rising sun and the red sun, rising, and the future is immeasurable.

Academician Ding is worried that once Cheng Nuo enters the big pit of BSD conjecture, if he can't climb out, it will be too much loss.

Cheng Nuo smiled helplessly, "Dean, you have to have confidence in me, although I am not ten percent sure, but fifty percent of the certainty is still there." ”

Academician Ding paced back and forth in the office.

After thinking for a long time, he said to Cheng Nuo, "I know that you are stubborn, and I have no right to stop your behavior." But in the future, the Chinese mathematics community still needs your guidance, and I can't watch you waste your energy on this. ”

"Well, give you a year, and after a year, if you don't make a breakthrough in the BSD conjecture, stop the project for me right away, clear?"

One year, that's enough.

Cheng Nuo thought for a moment, and then smiled and agreed, "Dean, no problem." ”

Dean Ding was also relieved.

One year, for a mathematician like Cheng Nuo, who is only 22 years old this year, is completely profligate.

"I will arrange the appointment ceremony immediately, about a week, you can just wait for my news. Academician Ding said, "As for your BSD conjecture project, you need to do it yourself. There is an office over there, and it's not too far from here, so you can just work there. ”
