After eating, Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan left the school and went to the house of the village chief Hu Liangcai.

As soon as they entered Hu Liangcai's house, the three of them saw Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin walking out of the room, with a faint look of excitement on their faces.

Since last night, Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin have been at Hu Liangcai's house, studying Pang Xuelin's thesis, and they have not gone out all morning.

Seeing Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin, Xu Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in speaking: "Lao Li, have you finished reading Mr. Pang's paper?" The result? Is it proven? ”

Li Zhiguo said with a smile: "It's more perfect than I imagined, the logic of the paper is very solid and smooth, Lao Xie and I originally wanted to find out if there were any loopholes in the paper, but we didn't find any of them." And ......"

"And what?"

Xu Jingyuan said curiously.

Li Zhiguo said: "And the mathematical framework presented in this paper is even more important than proving Fermat's conjecture itself. When Fermat proposed this conjecture, he said that he had completed the proof of the proposition, but it was only because the remaining blank space on the manuscript paper was too small to write. Later mathematicians have been trying to find a concise way to prove Fermat's conjecture, but they have not made progress. At present, the international mathematical community mainly studies the Fermat conjecture by transforming it into an elliptic curve equation, and proves the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture to prove the Fermat conjecture, which is very complicated and whether it can be solved is also a problem. Mr. Pang proposed a completely new mathematical theory, somewhat similar to Grothendieck's far-abelian geometry, and the whole proof logic is very concise and powerful......"

Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan glanced at each other, and their faces were all happy.

Although they couldn't understand the professional mathematical terms, they also understood that Pang Xuelin's proof had been recognized by two top mathematicians in China.

Xu Jingyuan said: "Since we have confirmed that there is no problem, then let's quickly discuss it with Teacher Pang and return to the capital tomorrow." Those Western reporters are going crazy, and they go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day to ask Pang Xuelin where he is sacred! We need to get Mr. Pang to hold a press conference as soon as possible......"

……

That night, Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng and Xu Jingyuan found Pang Xuelin and proposed the idea of letting Pang Xuelin follow them to the capital and hold a press conference.

Pang Xuelin agreed, and said that he could not rest assured that Ah Qing could not be relieved, and hoped to bring Ah Qing with him.

Liu Changzheng: Naturally, they don't have any opinions.

As for the other children in Lingziding Village Primary School, Lin Jianzhang has made a commitment to immediately transfer two teachers from the best primary school in the county to continue the normal teaching work of Lingziding Village Primary School.

Pang Xuelin relieved his heart.

Early the next morning, the crowd set out.

All the way over the mountains and mountains, after arriving at Dayu Township, everyone transferred to a minibus and went straight to Lincheng.

After resting in Lincheng for a night, Pang Xuelin took a plane to the capital the next day, accompanied by Liu Changzheng and Xu Jingyuan.

Along the way, Ah Qing, who walked out of the mountains for the first time, was a little overwhelmed in the face of the high-rise buildings and busy traffic that Pang Xuelin once said.

Most of the time, Ah Qing basically hid beside Pang Xuelin, looking at the flower world outside with timid eyes.

It wasn't until she got on the plane that she became a little excited.

Sitting by the porthole, I kept watching the ground as it faded away.

A matchbox-like house, an ant-like car on the road, have become the object of her novelty.

Especially when the plane broke through the clouds and the sunlight poured in through the portholes, Ah Qing couldn't help but let out a wow-wow exclamation.

Liu Changzheng liked this sensible little girl very much, and even had the idea of recognizing her relatives.

As for Pang Xuelin, until he arrived in the capital, he always looked calm.

This made Liu Changzheng and them a little surprised.

After all, a young man who has only been to the provincial capital Lincheng since he was a child can have this kind of performance on a plane for the first time, which is enough to make everyone look sideways.

Fortunately, during this time, Pang Xuelin has given them too many surprises, and they have slowly adapted to Pang Xuelin's various unexpected performances.

After arriving in the capital, Pang Xuelin and Ah Qing were arranged to stay in the executive suite of the Capital Hotel.

Although in Pang Xuelin's eyes, the decoration of the Capital Hotel seems a bit old-fashioned and old-fashioned, but in Aqing's eyes, compared with the small mountain village in the depths of Anhe County, today's environment is equivalent to heaven.

That night, Liu Changzheng, Xu Jingyuan, Li Zhiguo, Xie Yongxin and their entourage hosted a banquet for Pang Xuelin at the Capital Hotel.

Also present at the dinner was an official from the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, named Geng Huan.

After eating, Geng Huan called Pang Xuelin aside and talked to Pang Xuelin about the next press conference.

"Teacher Pang, tomorrow's press conference, it is estimated that at least more than half of the attendees are foreign journalists, I heard Liu Bu and they said that your English level is very good, but we will arrange simultaneous interpretation this time, you only need to answer in Chinese."

Pang Xuelin nodded and smiled: "Director Geng, then I will trouble you." ”

Geng Huan said: "In addition, Mr. Pang, you should also know the current attitude of Western countries towards our country, especially your age here, the questions raised by those reporters may not be very friendly, if you don't know how to answer at that time, just keep silent, I will help you answer at the press conference......"

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned and said, "Director Geng, what if they ask an insulting question?" ”

Geng Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Pang, don't worry about this, foreign journalists who are not friendly enough will not be able to continue to extend their visas in China, so under normal circumstances, they will not ask too many questions." ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

……

Layton Scott is a China correspondent for The Washington Post.

Early in the morning, Scott and his colleagues hurried to the Capital Hotel to attend a press conference jointly organized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During this time, Xuelin Pang's name resounded throughout the Western world.

The news that has plagued the mathematical community for more than 300 years was solved by an obscure mathematician from China has quickly caused a sensation in the Western world since it was broken by the New York Times.

Associated Press, Reuters, AFP, Washington Post, The Times, Bild, Australian Morning Herald, Asahi Shimbun...... The media of various countries have followed up with reports.

However, as for the solution of Fermat's conjecture, the media reports of various countries are still blank.

No one knows who this man is or where he came from.

Scott even found a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University through his own private channels, wanting to know Pang Xuelin's identity from him.

Unexpectedly, the old professor, who has a deep understanding of the Chinese mathematics community, also didn't know anything.

It wasn't until two days ago that rumors began to emerge in Chinese academic circles that the solution to Fermat's conjecture was a rural primary school teacher who had just turned 20.

This made Scott a little scoffed.

How is this possible?

A twenty-year-old young man who has solved a mathematical problem that mankind has not been able to solve for 300 years?

What an international joke!

Today, Scott just wants to come over and see where this mysterious Pang Xuelin is sacred!
