The day after Christmas, the entrance to San Francisco International Airport is not far away.

drove Lu Zhou to the airport, Tao Zhexuan got out of the car and helped him open the trunk, and said with a smile: "Have a good trip." ”

"Thank you," dragged the suitcase out, Lu Zhou said with a smile, "There is a chance to come to Huaguo to play." ”

"Definitely!"

In the past two days, Lu Zhou often communicated with this genius about math problems, although the age difference between the two was almost twenty years, but their personalities were unexpectedly compatible. When leaving, Tao Zhexuan offered to take him to the airport, and Lu Zhou readily agreed.

Before the plane took off, Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the waiting hall, took a newspaper in his hand, and it turned out to be the Daily Mail.

Just when he was about to change it, the moment he saw the news headline, he was fascinated.

[The millennial puzzle Riemann conjecture, which has plagued the mathematical community for a century and a half, has been proved by Professor Opayemiinoke of the University of Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria!] 】

Lu Zhou: ???

Hold the grass?!

Haven't heard of this at all?

Lu Zhou, who thought he had missed the big news, quickly logged on to the arxiv website and searched for the paper.

Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations, and he quickly found the paper on the arxiv website.

However, before Lu Zhou could click on the paper to check it, he lost interest the moment he saw that the article was classified in [general-mathematics].

The general-mathematics classification, also known as general mathematics, is a tolerant and caring term for civil science on the arxiv website. Articles that are thrown into this category are basically worthless to read.

Lu Zhou: "......"

He finally understood why the Daily Mail was once so popular. Kipedia is blacked.

I like to make big news so much, and the posture level of Western journalists needs to be improved......

Among other things, the Riemann conjecture proved to be not a million-dollar bounty, but would mean that thousands of inferences based on the Riemann conjecture would be elevated to theorems.

For example, a Swede named Koch proposed a more precise expression of the prime number theorem based on the Riemann conjecture, which is the so-called prime number theorem under strong conditions: π(x)=lix+o(√xlnx).

If the Riemann conjecture holds, then this formula holds.

If the Riemann conjecture were to be disproved, a thousand similar formulas would be buried with it.

The impact of this thing cannot be summed up by a few expressions.

Lu Zhou simply glanced at the paper and closed the webpage casually.

Hoping to prove the Riemann conjecture with a few symbols and knowledge of elementary mathematics made him think it was a waste of time to look at it more than once.

As for why the Clay Institute ignored this person and ignored the paper without making an evaluation, Lu Zhou could probably guess it.

It is nothing more than because of the "government. "Correctness" is a problem in any country.

Maybe one day he will try to challenge the Riemann conjecture, the crown of mathematics, but now it's important to solve the problem at hand. Whether it was Goldbach's conjecture or his collaborative project with Professor Frank, he had already stifled a lot of his energy......

……

After more than ten hours of flying and a transfer, Lu Zhou walked out of the airport with his suitcase.

Perhaps Director Lu noticed that the last pick-up had the opposite effect, but this time Jin Da did not come over to pull the banner again, but the battle at the airport gate was still not small.

A few Mercedes-Benz cars were parked at the door, and I didn't know that the school was so rich if I didn't do it.

The passers-by who walked by saw these black Mercedes Benzes parked neatly, and thought that some big star was coming, so they took out their mobile phones unconsciously and took a photo first.

After getting out of the car, Dean Qin warmly shook Lu Zhou's hand and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Lu Zhou!"

Lu Zhou held Dean Qin's hand and said politely, "Dean Qin, you are really too polite like this. ”

Dean Qin smiled and said, "How can you be, you are the first person in our domestic number theory community to eat crabs!" And it's a hairy crab! Pick up our heroes home, this treatment is still deserved! Don't stand at the airport gate and talk, get on the bus. ”

The car has driven here, of course Lu Zhou will not refuse, and gets into the car with Dean Qin.

Considering that Lu Zhou had already moved out of the student dormitory, it was definitely too late to arrange the dormitory temporarily, so for the sake of convenience, the school directly booked a hotel nearby for him.

As for the luggage, it was still the school staff who helped him deliver it.

And now, the reporter of CCTV's science column wants to do an interview program with him.

In fact, Lu Zhou's original intention was to refuse the interview, but when he thought of the check for one million yuan, he still "reluctantly" accepted it.

The academic reputation of Jinling University has always been good, but its reputation is slightly worse than that of Yanda, Shuimu, Zheda, and Aurora. As for the reason, part of it is because there have never been any particularly awesome characters.

After Lu Zhou became famous, the number of people who applied for the Department of Mathematics of Jinda in 15 years rose to a higher level, and even the popularity of applying for other majors also increased.

It is foreseeable that in the beginning of the 16th school year, many fresh students will pour into this beautiful campus and bravely jump into the big pit of mathematics.

In this regard, Lu Zhou was very pleased.

After all, he has lived here for three years, and as a nostalgic person, he naturally hopes that his alma mater will get better and better.

After the interview, Lu Zhou returned to the hotel and slept peacefully for the first time after returning to China.

He slept until noon the next day, yawned, washed up, went to the cafeteria for lunch, and then arrived at the school hall on time.

When he came to the auditorium, Dean Qin and Principal Xu were both here.

"Classmate Lu Zhou," holding Lu Zhou's hand, Academician Xu Jian said with a smile, "You have come back from the United States, you haven't had time to take a good rest, you have worked hard this time!" ”

Lu Zhou has not yet graduated from Jin University, and it is nothing to call a classmate.

Mainly in addition to this, Academician Xu couldn't think of what to call him.

Calling the name directly seems a bit different, the doctor hasn't started to read yet, and the professor hasn't even skimmed the eight characters...... After becoming an academician, in the entire academic community, Lu Zhou is really the first one among master's students who can take the initiative to shake hands.

"Where, it's not hard," shaking hands with Academician Xu, Lu Zhou said with a smile, "My alma mater needs me, of course I will be the first to appear!" ”

Dean Qin interjected with a smile next to him: "This time, our school's special scholarship and annual figure awards have the opportunity to be on CCTV!" Have you figured out the speech? ”

"Do you want to be on CCTV?" Lu Zhou was surprised.

He originally thought that at most, he would be on a local TV station.

After all, Jinling University is not Yanda Shuimu, although the annual person award is grand every year, but it is more than Jinda grand university.

"This is a long story, mainly thanks to your blessing," Academician Xu said with a smile, "Our country attaches more and more importance to the field of basic science, and the investment is also increasing, and we need a young researcher who has achieved outstanding results. How's it going, are you ready to speak later? Speaking of which, what about your speech? Why don't I help you take a look? ”

He really didn't prepare such a thing as a speech.

After all, there is no pressure to receive this kind of small award, he originally planned to improvise, and with the previous Cole Award acceptance speech as a reference, he is not worried about any accidents.

But if you say that, wouldn't it seem that you don't pay enough attention to it?

"I ...... Memorized it. Lu Zhou smiled subtly.

"Haha, that's okay," Academician Xu smiled, his expression was slightly adjusted, and he looked at Lu Zhou solemnly, "Behave well, I'll ask you for a while!" ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Lu Zhou also mentioned the spirit of twelve, and said immediately.
