Lu Zhou, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific, did not know about the trivial events surrounding the Holf Medal.

But even if you knew, you probably wouldn't care much.

At this moment, he is next to Lake Carnegie, where he usually trains, staying with the young men from the drone club who have returned from competition, and sharing the joy of victory with them......

"Coach, we won! It's unbelievable that we beat MIT! ”

With excitement and excitement written on his face, Jimmy stuffed the trophy in his hand into Lu Zhou's hand and said in an exaggerated tone, "You should really be on the scene to see it, I can't describe that wonderful moment in words." ”

The gold-plated trophy is almost the size of a watermelon, and it is quite heavy in your hand.

Weighing the trophy in his hand, Lu Zhou said to the boys with a smile.

"Well done, your trophies are much heavier than mine."

Lu Zhou's original intention, of course, was to encourage these young men.

However, I don't know why, after he said this, the group of young men who were originally cheering stopped talking.

Slightly stunned, Lu Zhou asked, "...... you guys What's wrong? ”

Glancing at each other with his companions, Jimmy shook his head and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's just that we have a hunch that you will definitely pretend to be forced next, so we don't know what to say." ”

Lu Zhou: ???

Heaven and earth conscience, he can once again swear to the Bible that he has absolutely no intention of pretending. He simply wanted to send his blessings to these young men and encourage them to continue on the path of science.

The air was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, a phone call suddenly came to his mobile phone and relieved him.

"I'm going to answer the phone."

Pointing to his phone, Lu Zhou left the lawn, pressed the connect button, and walked to the bench by Lake Carnegie and sat down.

"Hello?"

"Lu Zhou, it's me!"

"Principal Xu?" Hearing that hearty voice, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Nothing special," Principal Xu smiled, changed his serious tone, and continued, "The main reason for my call this time is to say thank you on behalf of all the teachers and students of the Institute!" ”

Hearing this thank you, Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you can't be talked about, I just wrote a letter and expressed my own opinion." ”

"How so? Your letter didn't just help, it helped! Your opinion is very important, the relevant funds have been put in place, the project bidding is also underway, and the new supercomputing center is located near Jinling University Town. Not only do I want to say thank you to you, but I don't know if it is Master Jin who wants to say thank you to you, many people want to say thank you to you! ”

The implementation of the policy of hundreds of millions of investment will not only benefit Jinling University, but also other universities, research institutes, and local municipalities in Jinling University Town. Prefecture.

Speaking of this, Principal Xu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

If it weren't for the letter reaching the House of Elders layer by layer, just because of the fact that their university was arguing with the people in charge of the funds, this project would not have been so easy.

After a pause, Principal Xu continued.

"By the way, have you followed the latest edition of Renren Daily?"

"Everybody's Daily?" Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, "Not really, what's wrong?" ”

Principal Xu smiled: "Haven't you paid attention?" The latest version has content about you, so you can keep an eye out for it. ”

As for what the specific content was, no matter how Lu Zhou asked, Principal Xu refused to say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou leaned on the bench and edited a text message with curiosity and sent it to Yang Xu in Jinling, asking him to subscribe to a Renren Daily in China and send it to him.

After the text message was sent, Lu Zhou put away his mobile phone.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure came into view.

The man who was jogging along the path by the lake seemed to notice him as well, and gradually slowed down and walked towards him.

"Thinking about life?" Wearing a blue tight-fitting sportswear, Mo Lina, who came over, gently shook the beads of sweat on the end of her hair and said hello to Lu Zhou.

"No, I just happened to sit here for a while."

The beautiful curves outlined by the sportswear were a little dazzling, and Lu Zhou didn't know where to put his eyes politely, so he looked at the lake not far away, and casually found a topic and said, "Speaking of which, it's been more than a year, have you and your mentor's project made progress?" ”

Hearing this difficult question, Molina bit her lip with a complicated expression and did not speak.

I remember that when Lu Zhou first came to Princeton to study for a doctorate, and before he had chosen a mentor, she once sent him an invitation, suggesting that he choose his mentor Sophie Morel to solve the problem of the century of the Riemann conjecture together.

However, now a year later, Lu Zhou has become famous because of the final proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and his influence has even spread to the fields of chemistry, materials science, and condensed matter physics outside the mathematical world.

And he and Ms. Morel are still standing on the desperate threshold......

Not so long ago, this guy was invited to a 60-minute report from the IMU. This, combined with the previous indications, has almost hinted at the choice of the Fields Medal jury.

It is foreseeable that he will break the record set by Charles Fepferman, chair of Princeton's mathematics department, and it is likely that no one will break it in a century.

Counting Peter Schulz, the "German god of learning" who also booked the Philippine Prize, next year's Philippine Prize is equivalent to missing two places out of thin air, and for the remaining young scholars whose research work is outstanding but not top-notch, the competition for the Philippine Prize will be particularly fierce.

And her mentor, because he bet all on the Riemann hypothesis, did not make any beautiful research results this year.

There is no doubt that all this Fields Medal has been lost to her mentor.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was about the same age as herself, Mo Lina no longer knew whether her expression was envy, envy, or envy......

Although he didn't get a reply, just looking at her expression, Lu Zhou guessed a rough idea.

Smiling and not continuing to ask, Lu Zhou diverted the topic and said.

"Looks like I made a question I shouldn't have asked, so I'll just assume that I didn't say anything."

Looking at Lu Zhou, Molina asked with a complicated expression, "How did you do it?" ”

"Before challenging a difficult goal, I prefer to choose a small goal that is relatively easy to complete," looking at the lake sparkling in the sunset, looking at the drone hovering low above the lake, Lu Zhou continued in a relaxed tone, "If I choose the Goldbach conjecture as the target of the challenge as soon as I come up, even I can't do it easily." ”

He is not false, the theory of the group construction method was perfected on the Polygnac conjecture, and it eventually stemmed from his new interpretation of the sieve method when he proved the twin prime conjecture.

Goldbach guessed that the edifice was not completed in a day, and that he did not get to where he is in a single step.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Molina's face, and after a while, she asked seriously, "So, the small target you chose?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled: "Twin prime conjecture." ”

Molina: "......"

This Nima is called a small target?!

The moment she heard this, she instantly felt the urge to throw this guy into the lake.

It's so infuriating!
