Chapter 447

"First place, Cambridge University, proposed eleven proofs, all of which were correctly !!"

When Mr. Edward's high-pitched voice echoed across the open grass, the scene was eerily silent for dozens of seconds.

It wasn't until they were woken up by a sudden gust of cold wind that everyone came back to their senses.

"Oh my God, eleven, I heard you right!"

"Oh, I can't believe it's true, it's so unexpected!"

"Eleven, our school has only come up with four, I admit that there is a gap between our school and Cambridge University, but it is not so bad!"

"This gap is no longer a chasm, but a moat!"

Everyone sighed in unison.

As gifted students, they have been proud for more than a decade, but this time, their self-confidence has been shattered by the hammer of the number "eleven" at Cambridge University.

It's too big, the gap is just too big.

The University of Bonn, which came in second place, has only come up with six proofs, and although the difference of five may not sound like much, it is enough to despair for those who know the difficulty of the problem.

What's more, after Mr. Edward saw that everyone came back to their senses, he announced a news that shocked everyone even more:

Of the eleven proofs submitted by the University of Cambridge, only two are variants of Eurigit's proof, and the remaining nine are all proofs of new directions!

Nine New Directions of Proof Method!

They know deep down what that number means.

For the sake of quantity, their schools have basically worked on the variant of Oriji's proof method for half an hour.

Even so, they could only figure out four or five.

Even if they are given a month to prove the new direction, it is difficult to say that they can come up with nine!

One by one, they turned their heads to look in the direction of the three Cambridge men, as if they were looking at monsters.

How did those three guys do it?

This is a question that is not only on the minds of others, but also by Malego of Oxford.

After the brain was temporarily short-circuited for dozens of seconds, his face was distorted as if he had just eaten Xiang, his expression changed several times, and he took a deep breath, as if asking himself, and it seemed to be asking the three people from Cambridge University, "How is it possible?!"

Cheng Nuo rolled his eyes, too lazy to take care of this guy who came over to mock failure.

Seeing Mr. Edward coming, he quickly stood up.

Denton took the lead in greeting him, rubbing his hands, and said to Edward with a smile, "Mr. Edward, when will we be able to take our tent." ”

"Don't worry about this, you're indispensable. Mr. Edward said with a straight face, "I have come here to discuss important matters with you. ”

"Speak, please. Denton said.

Edward returned the answer sheet submitted by Cheng Nuo and them to Denton again, "The quality of the eleven proofs you put forward is very high, and after going back and sorting it out, it will be made into a paper, which can be directly submitted to SCI." ”

"As for SCI journals, I suggest you apply for the publication of "Mathematical Language" published by the Royal Institute of Mathematics, I work as a review editor in this journal, and you can skip the review process directly, so that your paper can be published in two months. ”

"When the time comes, sign the names of the three of you directly, and I will arrange it when I see it. Edward finally explained.

Denton nodded, but quickly shook his head, "Mr. Edward, this paper only needs to be signed with Cheng Nuo's name, and the two of us will forget it." ”

"Why?" Mr. Edward was very curious, "Didn't the three of you come up with these eleven proof methods together, if you want to sign them, you should all three of you sign them together, Cheng Nuo's contribution is great, then let him be the first author, how can there be a reason to sign his name alone!"

Mr. Edward was a little angry in his heart, thinking that Denton and the two had agreed to some unequal treaty.

Denton hurriedly waved his hand and explained with a wry smile, "Mr. Edward, it's not what you think. I'm not afraid of your jokes, the eleven proof methods we handed in were all thought up by Cheng Nuo alone. Our job is to keep records. ”

"Although I was well aware of the high quality of the paper, the two of us were not thick enough to take someone else's work for ourselves. ”

After listening to Denton's explanation, Mr. Edward was greatly surprised.

He frowned tightly and confirmed, "You mean, these eleven proof methods were all thought up by Cheng Nuo alone?"

Denton nodded with a wry smile, "Although this matter is a bit embarrassing, it is indeed like this. ”

Mr. Edward held his forehead and remained silent for a long time.

If these eleven proof methods were to be conceived by the three of Cambridge University together, although it was somewhat unexpected, it was still within his bearing.

At most, these three students are much more talented than the students in other schools!

But this matter is all on Cheng Nuo alone.

Truth be told, this was no longer within Edward's knowledge.

He stared at Cheng Nuo, "Are you really a student?"

Cheng Nuo took out his student ID, "Cheng Nuo, a graduate student of the Department of Mathematics of St. Edmond College, is like a fake. ”

"Alas!" Edward sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Where did Cambridge University recruit a demon!"

After speaking, he ignored the three of them and left leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Denton took a tent from Mr. Edward, ignored the resentful eyes around him, and set up the tent and beckoned Cheng Nuo and another teammate to come in to keep warm.

The rest of the people also set up their tents, and the reluctant six people fell asleep together.

............

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, after the white sky of the eastern fish belly suddenly appeared with a glimmer of morning light, the packed group walked back to school from Grey Lake on foot.

As a matter of course, there are about four to five competitions for each exchange event.

Currently, the game goes through two rounds, and the biggest winner is undoubtedly the University of Cambridge.

Especially in the second round, the University of Cambridge was even more out of the limelight.

The name Cheng Nuo has become a nightmare for everyone.

In front of him, their little self-confidence was ruthlessly torn and shattered.

So much so that on the way back, everyone walked around the three of Cambridge University.

The third round of the competition will be held in the afternoon of the second day of the exchange event.

The discussion is based on the butterfly effect in various research directions of mathematics.

Because it was a completely open question, Cheng Nuo's Cambridge University once again came out on top with chaos theory as the subject of discussion.

After a day of rest, on the evening of the third day of the exchange, everyone had a final round of competition in a small hall of the school.

Unlike the previous ones, this time it was not only Edward, the representative of the Ministry of Education, but also more than 50 people from 15 schools and many important figures in the field of mathematics in two countries who attended the scene in person.
