Chapter Twenty-Six: I'll Prove It to You
The atmosphere was so awkward.
Obviously, this mathematician named John is probably a very honest, a little arrogant, well, a little unsophisticated.
Tang Pudding felt that it was not easy for this guy in front of him to live so big.
On other people's land, talking nonsense about this kind of big truth that loses the face of the master's family, is this product really not afraid of being put in a sack when walking at night?
"I don't agree with you. Don Pudding's words broke the embarrassment in the venue.
The two simultaneous translators in the conference room also reacted and began to translate Tang Puding's words simultaneously.
There is no way, many foreign bigwigs have already brought on the headphones for synchronous transliteration, and the switch has been turned on, so they can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Okay, so let's give you an example, what mathematicians in China after 2000 have and what amazing achievements have they? Not to mention the Fields Medal, you can also talk about the Wolf Medal. Of course, Chinese don't count!" John said, pouting.
If it's a slap in the face, many people in the conference room can't sit still.
Well, John is right, it's true that Chinese mathematicians have won nothing in these prestigious mathematical awards over the years, but is it really good to say so?
Don Pudding glanced at John, he really had some suspicions that this thing was trying to cut itself off.
Well, who gave him the courage to say such a thing in front of a math man?
"Isn't there just one standing in front of you?" said Tang Pudding confidently.
If he remembers correctly, he should have won the Fields Medal at least seventy or eighty times in his long life, and the Wolf Medal is even more than that. Even the best Wolf Lifetime Achievement Award was won.
But what does he need to say?
"In front of me?" John was not well.
Who is in front of him?
Didn't you just stand this little brat?
Could it be that this little kid is talking about himself?
Well, who gave him confidence!
The faces of the leaders of Tsinghua University began to darken.
Especially the leader who answered Xu Mengchang's phone call yesterday, he finally understood what this kid meant by being a little axial.
This is a true shaft!
Even if you mean that you can win this kind of international mathematics prize in the future, you can't say it on such an occasion!
It's already embarrassing enough, and now it's even more impossible to end.
How old are you? Can you win the Fields and Wolf Awards? What an international joke!
No wonder the leader thinks so, the whole venue has already begun to burst into laughter.
Mostly the foreign mathematicians, though Don Pudding didn't know what was funny about it.
As for Qi Chen and Qin Yao beside Tang Puding, they were already about to hang their heads under their seats.
This product is so humiliating!
It's just a person from the eighth middle school in Lost Star City!
Didn't you see that this meeting was of a very high standard, and there were reporters from TV stations present?
Even if I didn't hear this, Mr. Xu had repeatedly explained it when he came in the morning!
As for this kind of limelight?
Qin Yao began to wonder if it was a reliable decision for him to rely on this guy for three years of college.
If she is so embarrassed every day, she feels that her psychological endurance is still a little worse.
......
Facing the laughter in the venue, and the camera intentionally or unintentionally aimed at his lens, Tang Pudding seemed very calm.
He's seen a lot of this kind of scene!
It's not a matter at all, not to mention the Fields Medal, how many times has he made a speech at the Nobel Prize award ceremony?
What's a laugh?
Once, at the Nobel Prize ceremony, he scared a scientist so much that he wanted to rush to the stage to come with him, and who would dare to believe it?
Not to mention that he is also determined to be a-stirring stick in the new era.
"Okay, I know you don't believe it, so can you give me a chance to prove it to you, all world-famous mathematicians?" said Tang Pudding helplessly.
This time, Tang Pudding spoke directly in English, which immediately made countless foreign mathematicians in the entire venue even more happy.
Haha, this kid, even want to prove it to them?
John, in particular, couldn't stop laughing: "Prove? How do you want to prove it? Oh, by the way, I just heard that you are the top student in this year's college entrance examination?
How to prove it?
Do you demonstrate your ability to do questions on the spot?
As for the leaders of Tsinghua University......
I've already started to think about whether I should call a security guard!
Although this is just a child's paper, and it is the top student in the college entrance examination in Shonan Province this year.
But today it's a high-profile math seminar!
There are so many foreign guests.
I can't let this kid continue to make trouble so unscrupulously!
Otherwise, the man will be thrown abroad.
Didn't you see that a foreign friend has already taken out his mobile phone and started recording?
Before coming to this conference, many mathematicians had already applied for a temporary use of Twitter and Facebook.
Don't think about it, it won't be long before these videos become popular in the math world.
This is still a trivial matter, in case it is noticed by those foreign media who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, won't it damage the image of China's great power?
However, Tang Pudding didn't give everyone this kind of opportunity at all, and even walked directly to the rostrum.
Behind the podium is a large multimedia screen connected to a computer.
"Well, the gentleman just asked me how to prove that I can win the Fields Medal in mathematics, can I use this computer to prove that I can?"
After asking this sentence, without giving the leaders on the stage a chance to react, Tang Pudding was already sitting in front of the computer and opened a document casually.
"Well, you all know about the Poincaré conjecture, right? The study of the Poincaré conjecture has led to at least five mathematicians winning Fields Medals, but most of them are high-dimensional proofs. The closest thing to proving it was that of a reclusive Russian mathematician, who also won the prize, but did not receive it. ”
"Today I decided to show you how to prove the Poincaré conjecture with pure topography, and I think if I can do this, if the next Fields Prize in Mathematics is not given to me, it must be a problem with the judges' heads. ”
"Of course, if you don't think it's enough, I can prove this conjecture with the pure set principle, and I'm a true Chinese, I haven't immigrated, and I've never considered immigration. So I'll start now!"
After saying these words quickly, Tang Pudding's hands began to fly quickly on the keyboard.
From start to finish, there was no quiet in the conference room.
All kinds of chatter and laughter even drowned out the sound of him tapping on the keyboard.
And the leaders on the rostrum still haven't reacted to this change.
Don't blame the leader for being too slow to respond, it's really this kind of thing, and it's not easy for anyone to deal with it!
You can't really drag out a provincial college entrance examination champion in front of so many reporters, right?
