Just when Lu Zhou was rushing to get his paper, he didn't know that the video of his proof process on the podium became popular in the Twitter circle of the students of the Ivy League eight leagues.

However, it is not the "math people" of the Ivy League schools that really push the popularity to the peak, but the colored students in major high schools and even junior high schools, as well as the teenagers who are labeled as "nurd".

In the "cultural tree" of the United States, the concept of "knowledge worship" is clearly not lit up. In addition to the fact that the elite is deeply aware of the importance of reading, most people are indifferent to knowledge, and even the elite themselves are deliberately downplaying this concept for reasons of political correctness.

Just say something like "I'm not going to a party, I'm going to do my homework" and it's often called "nurd" here.

These people are not only at the bottom of the food chain of the school community, but also the target of school bullying. Unless you're a top student, you're a basketball team's point guard or a football team's quarterback or something, so you can take off your NURD hat. A student who doesn't participate in any extracurricular activities won't even be liked by the teacher who teaches the class.

It is precisely because of this that they feel resonance from Lu Zhou's body.

Even if it's just a pen.

Even if there is no flashy show.

Even if it's not a hearty scoring goal on the green field.

In this world, there is still their honor, and there are still their battlefields.

The closing stroke, the monotonous and affirmative statement......

And.

The audience burst into applause like waves.

Only the same kind will appreciate the same kind, and only the same kind can feel the resonance from the same kind, especially when this kind of people are not recognized by the society in which they live, this kind of identity generated by the sense of honor is particularly strong.

Oily turtle, video comment area.

【jesus-cry！ I'm like...... After watching a ball game? 】

[Yes, for me, it's more exciting than this year's Super Bowl......]

[I am a high school student, and because of my skin color, gender, and study, I was excluded from almost all circles in our high school. I've thought about getting tattoos, I've tried hemp and alcohol, I've tried to fit them in, but it never worked. Thank you, you gave me the courage to pick up a book again, and I was about to give up. 】

[I actually watched people doing math problems in the turtle? I must be crazy! 】

[The moment the applause rang out, I couldn't help but hum a song.] 】

[Strongly ask the broadcaster to add BGM to the video.] 】

Of course, in addition to positive reviews, there is naturally a voice of ridicule or sarcasm.

[Don't talk to an Asian about math, especially if he's from a country where Google can fail.] 】

[As soon as I saw his complexion, I knew that there was no suspense about the result. Why are they applauding? Are they all fools? Isn't it normal for a monkey to count its own bananas? 】

In this country, it's okay to talk about "Asian" and "good at math" alone, but if you put two concepts in one sentence, it's kind of. Suspicion of racial discrimination.

Naturally, where there is discrimination, there is a counterattack.

[You can't even count, it's a shame for primates!] 】

[Someone who is proud of ignorance? Specially climbed over the wall to watch, are the people here so anti-intellectual? 】

[Hou's alkali method, learn about it. 】

【saonima！ 】

【#@%……！ 】

There was a lot of noise in the video comment area, which also pushed the popularity of the video to a new height, and was even moved back to the wall by many good people, but due to the lack of subtitles and the low video bitrate, it was not clear what was written on the whiteboard, etc., and it was not popular to the extent of a phenomenon.

Neither the author of the video nor the protagonist of the video expected this.

Especially the protagonist in the video, who is locking himself in the hotel at this moment to explode his liver to catch up with the paper, is not aware of the fact that he has inadvertently become popular.

The day after the closing ceremony of the academic conference, Lu Zhou called Hatche, who had not been out for almost two days and one night, stretched his waist, converted the format of the finished paper, and then packaged it with the copyright agreement of the electronic version, and sent it to the email address left by Professor Deligne.

Because Professor Deligne is also the editor of the Annals of Mathematics, he is responsible for reviewing the submission of papers in the field of number theory, so the review process will be much faster through this submission method than the official website submission.

Confirming the sending, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that there were four unread emails lying in the mailbox.

When I opened it, it was sent by Molina.

[I guess you didn't go to the party...... Want to come out for a drink? 】

[Okay, it looks like you're rushing for a paper, it's me who is boring to myself.] Remember to reply to me when you open your mailbox. 】

[#视频连接; Hey, haven't woken up yet? Did you know that your report will be passed on to the turtle, you are on fire! Hurry up and sign up for a Twitter account. 】

【…… OK, OK, I got off WeChat, and when I saw this email, remember to sweat > you!

Lu Zhou really doesn't have the habit of checking his email at any time, unless he has a submission that hasn't been done yet.

Replying to the email in honest terms, he covered his computer and stood up, ready to go to the nearby Palmer Square for a bite to eat.

In the past few days, Lu Zhou has been living on sandwiches brought by the hotel waiter, the kind of eating bread slices with bacon and butter, once or twice is quite interesting, but if you eat this thing all the time, it is simply a torture.

Because the academic conference was over, the staff of the Federal Mathematical Society was no longer visible in the hotel, and it began to accept reservations from tourists, and many people from all over the world who came to Princeton to admire mathematics could be seen in the hall, dragging suitcases and taking pictures with mobile phones.

At the door of the hotel, Lu Zhou happened to meet Senior Brother Luo, who was walking towards the hotel.

Seeing Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over quickly, stretching out his right hand from afar.

"Congratulations!" Without saying anything, he grabbed Lu Zhou's hand and shook it vigorously, Senior Brother Luo's tone was excited, "I now know why Lao Tang values you so much, you are not a genius, you are a demon." ”

Lu Zhou coughed lightly: "It's not that exaggerated, I proved a conjecture ......"

Senior Brother Luo said with emotion: "It proves a conjecture, yes, how can you embarrass me as a senior brother who has achieved nothing." ”

It's an absolute exaggeration to achieve nothing, Princeton can't recruit a few people in Greater China in a year, and those who can go to Princeton to study for a doctorate, especially a doctorate in science and engineering, are all great gods, not to mention mathematics and physics, which are at the top of the discipline contempt chain.

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, what are you doing?" I haven't seen you since the closing ceremony. ”

Senior Brother Luo sighed: "The research has entered a bottleneck, and my supervisor happened to go to the University of California, Berkeley for a conference, so I went to New York to watch the game, and by the way, I was distracted. ”

Lu Zhou doesn't know much about quantum mechanics, and compared to the mathematics he is good at, he only knows a little bit about physics.

If you want to help, you really can't help.

But......

Suddenly, something came to mind, and Lu Zhou spoke: "That's right." ”

Senior Brother Luo: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Zhou: "I remember you said that the six-sided dice dropped by God appeared in the seventh possibility in Hilbert space, although I don't know what the specific problem you encountered, why not consider the possibility of landing on both sides?" ”

"Two-sided? What do you mean......"

In the middle of his words, Senior Brother Luo suddenly stopped talking, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Lu Zhou did not interrupt his train of thought, and quietly walked around him.

Inspiration is such a thing as hard to describe in detail.

Whether or not you can catch the white dove that flashes away depends on personal creation.

Whether it was useful or not, this was the last gift Lu Zhou could give to this senior brother.

Because, in two days, he will return to China.
