Pang Xuelin couldn't help but be stunned.

Kirton Walker smiled: "Professor Pang, I am a Polish-American, and I became an American citizen fifteen years ago. My wife divorced me five years ago, and our two children have their own careers, one in the UK and one in Germany. I'm still fed alone, and my whole family isn't hungry. Lithium-air batteries are what I have been looking for all my life, and as long as you can provide me with a relaxed environment and sufficient research funding, for me, there is no difference between China and the United States. I would even like to become a Chinese citizen. ”

Pang Xuelin glanced at Kirton Walker with a strange expression, and said, "Okay, Professor Walker, you see when the right time is right, go through the resignation procedures at Princeton, and then go to Jiang University to find me." ”

Kirton Walker said: "I'll leave in the afternoon. ”

“……”

Pang Xuelin was a little speechless, how could he have the feeling that Kirton Walker couldn't wait to escape from Princeton.

However, Pang Xuelin doesn't care, Kirton Walker can think of using large-scale single-layer graphene films to make lithium-air batteries, which already shows his level.

What he lacks now is just a stable research environment and a steady stream of financial support, both of which can satisfy him.

After confirming the intention of cooperation with Walker, Pang Xuelin politely rejected Walker's proposal to invite him to dinner and returned directly to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Qi Xin had already gotten up, just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wrapped in a nightgown, and wiped his wet hair with a bath towel.

It's just that the walking posture is a little strange, Pang Xuelin couldn't help laughing twice, and the girl pounced with her teeth and claws.

Pang Xuelin instantly hugged the girl.

The two fought all the way to the bed, and before they knew it, the day had passed again.

Pang Xuelin stayed with Qi Xin in Princeton for a week.

Originally, he still wanted to take Qi Xin around, but Qi Xin didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to be with Pang Xuelin all day long.

Girls in love, always.

So the two of them didn't go anywhere at all, and spent their days wandering around the town of Princeton, occasionally attending the party that Deligne and they had started.

It was not until November 10 that Pang Xuelin said goodbye to Qi Xin and returned to Jiangcheng from the United States.

At this time, the feedback on the Polygnac conjecture in the mathematical community reached a climax, and more and more mathematicians stood up and expressed their approval of Pang Xuelin's proof.

Zhang Yitang: "Professor Pang Xuelin's proof of the Polygnac conjecture is completely a masterpiece of genius. In fact, there is another detail that you may not know, as you know, in the past six months, Professor Pang has focused on the field of carbon nanomaterials, and there has been no movement in mathematical research. So a month ago, after the Cole's Algebra Prize Dinner, I approached Professor Pang and talked to him about the idea of proving the twin prime conjecture through Ponzi geometry, and proposed to have a scientific research competition with him to see who could prove the twin prime conjecture in two years. But what I didn't expect was that Professor Pang did it within a month, and what he proved was not the twin prime conjecture, but the generalized conjecture that proved the twin prime conjecture - the Polygnac conjecture. ”

"The day I got the news, I still couldn't believe it, and I didn't dare to be sure until I read Professor Pang's proof process. As a worker in the field of mathematics, I have met many geniuses in my life, but there has never been one who has given me such a strong shock as Professor Pang. ”

Another Fields Medal winner, the Russian-American mathematician Andrei Okunkov, who has made outstanding contributions in the fields of algebraic geometry, probability theory, and representation theory, said: "Pang Xuelin's proof work has once again verified the greatness of Ponzi geometry, and I have a faint feeling that several monuments in the field of number theory, such as Goldbach's conjecture and Riemann conjecture, are likely to need to apply the relevant theories of Ponzi geometry in the future to be proven." As the founders of this discipline, we have every reason to look forward to Professor Pang Xuelin......"

In an interview with The Times, Andrew Wiles said: "I am not surprised that Pang Xuelin can make such a result, there is no doubt that he is already one of those people who stand at the top of the contemporary mathematical community, and I think that at his current age, he is expected to hit the throne of the greatest mathematician in history!" ”

……

The mathematics community gave Pang Xuelin such a high evaluation, and the major media naturally added fuel to the fire.

There were even many media invitations to Pang Xuelin for interviews, but they were all politely rejected by Pang Xuelin.

But what Pang Xuelin didn't expect was that the day after he returned to Jiangcheng, he received a call from Liu Tingbo.

"What, CCTV wants to do an interview with me?"

Half an hour later, Pang Xuelin appeared in Liu Tingbo's office.

"Lao Liu, what's going on? CCTV suddenly thought of doing an interview with me. ”

Pang Xuelin walked into Liu Tingbo's office, expertly found some tea from the bookshelf behind his desk, and then made a cup of tea from a disposable cup.

Liu Tingbo smiled bitterly: "Professor Pang, have you forgotten another important thing?" ”

"Something important?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.

Liu Tingbo said: "In another month and a half, it will be the National Highest Science and Technology Award Ceremony, and you have been basically determined to be the winner of this year's National Highest Science and Technology Award, and you will go to Beijing to receive the award around New Year's Day." In addition, you have completed the proof of the Polygnac conjecture in the United States, and now is the time when the heat is high, and CCTV is now launching such an interview arrangement, which can be regarded as a warm-up for you to win the award in advance. Wait a minute, Principal Xu will bring someone over, and you will talk to the reporter sent by CCTV to discuss the next interview arrangements. ”

"That'...... All right! ”

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Xu Xincheng, the president of Jiang University, to walk in with a mature woman who looked a little familiar, with glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a bit of literary appearance.

Xu Xincheng said with a smile: "Professor Pang, let me introduce to you, this is Dong Qing, the host of CCTV's face-to-face column." ”

"Hello, Professor Pang!"

Dong Qing smiled and stretched out his hand to Pang Xuelin.

"Hello, Ms. Dong!"

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Dong Qing and said.

Xu Xincheng said with a smile: "Okay, Ms. Dong, you can talk to Professor Pang about the interview arrangement, if there is any need, our school will fully cooperate." ”

Dong Qian laughed and said: "That's right, in fact, this time we want to do a face-to-face interview with Professor Pang, and we are also going to do a special program to see how Professor Pang works on a daily basis, I don't know if Professor Pang is convenient?" ”

Xu Xincheng turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin, who nodded and said, "I have nothing to do today, and I will stay at home all day today." Tomorrow I will go to the School of Materials Engineering to see how those projects are progressing. Ms. Dong, how about that? From tomorrow onwards, you can follow me for a day, but I want to try not to interfere with my normal work. ”

Dong Qing laughed and said, "Professor Pang, please rest assured at this point, we will definitely not interfere with you in any way, as for follow-up, can you start today?" We want to take a look at your day-to-day life. ”

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Xu Xincheng smiled: "That's just right." Professor Pang, then you can cooperate with the CCTV team next, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

"Okay!"

After Xu Xincheng left, Pang Xuelin said hello to Liu Tingbo and took Dong Qing downstairs.

Downstairs, CCTV's news shooting team is already on standby.

Dong Qing smiled and said, "Professor Pang, let's start now." ”

"Yes!"

Pang Xuelin nodded.

The two walked side by side on the asphalt road of the school, and two photojournalists carried cameras to follow the two in real time.

Many passing students looked at each other curiously, but as soon as they saw Pang Xuelin's face, they knew that the big guy was being interviewed, and they didn't dare to get too close.

"Professor Pang, I heard President Xu say that when you returned to China, the school specially arranged a three-bedroom house for you in the nearby community, but you directly refused, and now you live in the single apartment arranged by the school for you?"

Pang Xuelin nodded and said with a smile: "There is such a thing, I am a relatively lazy person in life, if I am alone, I am too lazy to cook, and it just so happens that the single apartment arranged by the school is very close to the canteen, so I live in a single apartment." ”

Dong Qing pursed his lips and smiled: "Then do you have a girlfriend?" I've read the comments on the Internet, and netizens seem to be quite concerned about your love life. ”

After speaking, Dong Qing blinked and said, "If it's inconvenient to say, we can delete this paragraph." ”

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "It's nothing inconvenient, I do have a girlfriend, but she is still studying, so I won't disclose the specific details." ”

Pang Xuelin didn't say where his girlfriend studied, and he took care of the meaning of this.

Dong Qing smiled: "Then do you think that when you fall in love with your girlfriend, there is any difference between you and ordinary people?" How do you balance love and work? After all, you are now a world-famous mathematician, and not long ago you completed the proof of a heavyweight conjecture. ”

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment and said, "As far as my personal feelings are concerned, I don't think there is a difference. As for how to balance my relationship and work, I don't feel that falling in love has any impact on my work, but a phone call with my girlfriend after work is a good way for me to relax. ”

The two walked and talked.

Pang Xuelin chatted as an ordinary friend, and Dong Qing was also very relaxed.

Face-to-face This column is a high-end long-form character interview column, and the people who can be on this show are heavyweights.

Among them, there are the focus figures in the news, the authoritative figures in the news topics, the influential figures in the changes of the times, the public figures who have attracted much attention, and even the leaders of other countries.

Since the launch of Pang Xuelin's face-to-face column, he is definitely the most special one.

Pang Xuelin gave Dong Qing a very strange feeling.

On the one hand, the other party is a world-class scholar, and to a certain extent, the giant dignitaries who are now dominating the world are not sure whether human beings can remember them after hundreds of years or thousands of years.

But the name Pang Xuelin will inevitably write a strong stroke in the history books, as long as the history of human civilization continues, he is a figure that cannot be bypassed.

On the other hand, such a character who is enough to be written in the history books appears in front of him alive, and he is completely like a big boy.

This kind of confusion of identity and status makes Dong Qing feel very interesting.

The two walked for nearly ten minutes before they came downstairs to the apartment.

went upstairs, Pang Xuelin invited everyone into the house and took everyone to visit.

The living room, kitchen, bedroom, balcony, bathroom, although the sparrow is small, it is fully equipped.

Fortunately, Pang Xuelin is relatively good in terms of living habits, and he cleans more diligently on weekdays, and he doesn't make jokes such as stinky socks thrown around.

Pang Xuelin made Dong Qing a cup of coffee and was about to sit down to chat with her.

Dong Qing said: "Professor Pang, you are busy with yours, come according to the rhythm of your daily life, and we will just follow the shooting." ”

Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I have a few articles that I need to read, so I'll be busy with my own business first." ”

As he spoke, Pang Xuelin came directly to the desk, turned on the laptop, and turned on the power button.

The two photojournalists of CCTV hurriedly found a suitable position and wanted to shoot footage of Pang Xuelin's busy work.

But soon, everyone's minds on the scene were not focused on Pang Xuelin's work.

After the computer was turned on, a soft electronic voice came from the stereo: "Professor Pang, good morning, I am your work secretary MOSS, and you currently have ten documents to deal with." Six of the documents are the recent discussion reports of the Ponzi Geometry Seminar of the School of Mathematical Sciences, and the remaining four are the latest papers of the graphene materials research group, one from the mass production report of high-purity carbon nanotubes by Professor Li Changqing's research group, one from the flying edge materials group, and the last one from Professor Xu Xingguo, the main content is the confirmation of the relevant list of carbon-based chip development team personnel. ”

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly: "MOSS, according to priority, I'll deal with it later." ”

"MOSS understands!"

At this time, whether it was Dong Qing or several other CCTV staff, they were dumbfounded, looking at the slightly sci-fi scene in front of them.

Dong Qing said curiously: "Professor Pang, this is ......"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "MOSS, say hello to this sister!" ”

Soon, a bionic camera that was set up on the side of the desk by Pang Xuelin turned to look at Dong Qing, and a MOSS voice came from the speaker: "Hello Sister Dong Qing!" ”

Dong Qing swallowed his saliva and said dumbfounded: "Professor Pang, is this artificial intelligence?" ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and smiled: "This is the artificial intelligence MOSS I developed to assist work, the name comes from the sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" released during the Spring Festival last year, so I took it and borrowed it." ”
