Although there was a brief communication during the interview, because he was busy with the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials at the time, Lu Zhou did not spend too much time on each interviewee. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

Moreover, seeing it in the footage, and seeing it in reality, are completely different feelings.

I don't know if it's an illusion, looking at this freshman, Lu Zhou always feels a little familiar.

It's just that I can't remember where I've seen it.

Wei Wen's expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed lightly.

"I've seen it during the interview...... Also, the Digital Simulation Competition. ”

The first sentence is nonsense.

As for the second sentence...... That's really embarrassing.

At that time, in the final expert interview session of the national competition, he also deliberately walked over and pretended to be forced in front of Lu Zhou, saying, "You can't write your paper, but the championship will be mine", but in the end, the Higher Education Society Cup was won back by Lu Zhou.

It is also since then that he has been chasing Lu Zhou as his goal.

However, what is desperate is that the gap between the two has not narrowed, but has become wider and wider, and even the tail lights of the land god are no longer visible.

Especially when he followed his teacher to Beijing Normal University to participate in the Huaguo Mathematicians Conference as a student, and saw Lu Zhou win the Chern's Mathematics Award, he was basically dead, and he just subconsciously worked in that direction.

However, I have to say that striving towards a higher goal, even if you can't reach the same height, you can gain a lot in the process of struggle.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, Wei Wen has graduated from his sophomore year to now, and has successfully obtained Professor Lu's FFER from Princeton, becoming a god in the eyes of his classmates and a "child of someone else's family" in the eyes of his parents and fellow villagers.

However, if you want to say what he feels like in his heart, I am afraid only he knows.

However, choosing Lu Zhou as a mentor was also a decision he made.

As for the simple reason, that is, I want to be stronger.

had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of the two freshmen, Lu Zhou did not assign them a job for the time being, but just gave the two of them a book each, let them go back and read it first, and hand in the notes after reading it.

Basic learning still has to start from books, only with a comprehensive understanding of knowledge, can you discover your own interests and further choose your own research direction.

After that, it's more advanced learning.

At this stage, it is necessary to use literature to understand the parts of the book that are not described in detail because there are controversies or have not yet been resolved.

If you can make a certain innovation on this basis, even if it is just to advance the work that has not been perfected by predecessors by one millimeter, it can be regarded as a qualified graduation thesis in the true sense.

At the current level of the two, there is still a long way to go to do that.

As for the most important thing at this stage, it is to lay a good foundation.

Other than that, there are no other shortcuts.

With the return of Lu Zhou, the daily life in the laboratory is back on track.

Even the energetic Hardy sat honestly in his seat and delved into his own subject.

In a state of concentration, time always flies quickly.

By six o'clock in the afternoon, the students in the office had left their seats and gone downstairs to eat.

Gradually, there were only two people left in the office.

At this time, Vera raised her head, obviously not doing anything wrong, but she still couldn't help but peek left and right.

After confirming that there was no one else in the office, she took out the first draft of the paper from the drawer and walked lightly to Lu Zhou's desk.

Looking up at Vera, remembering the previous exchange in the email, Lu Zhou probably guessed her intention, so he put down the pen in his hand and said with a pleasant face: "Are you going to reveal the mystery to me?" ”

Vera's expression was a little embarrassed, and she squeezed her hands and handed it out.

“…… Please take a look at it for me. ”

After taking the first draft of the paper, Lu Zhou started from the abstract part and flipped back, and after flipping a few pages, he nodded approvingly.

Not bad.

Of his three students, Vera was probably the only one who had made his group construction method a true understanding and was able to understand it.

Not only that, but in her line of proof, he could see her own thoughts.

Strictly speaking, the Kakutani conjecture, although a classic problem in additive number theory, is more like a complex analysis problem. The group construction method that solves Goldbach's conjecture is not perfectly compatible.

Vera's completed part, presumably the lubricant, allows the theory of group construction to permeate from a series of additive number theory problems about prime numbers to propositions that are set as whole natural numbers.

Of course, this work is not so simple to complete, she is only doing a specific analysis for a specific problem, and the flaws in the process are obvious.

After quickly reading the paper, Lu Zhou made two marks with a ballpoint pen, and then said, "Let me ask a few questions." ”

Vera humbly asked, "Professor, please speak." ”

Lu Zhou: "On page 4, line 3, I noticed that you set the pure mapping K:→△ so that πg=f, can you tell me the meaning of this part?" ”

Vera leaned closer, looked at the paper and explained: "K() is a bounded holopure function on the complex plane, and according to Liuville's theorem, we can find that Q() in line 5 on page 3 is a constant function, and then we can prove that Eq. (7) holds." ”

"There is no problem with this step," Lu Zhou nodded approvingly at Vera's logical rigor and continued, "But I noticed that your line on page 7 directly uses the conclusions of equations (7) and (8) to prove that every branch D of Φ(g) containing a positive integer has 0∈D, but this step is problematic. ”

Vera hurriedly leaned over and stared at the paper for a long time.

Gradually, her expression was a little embarrassed, and finally she lowered her head.

"You're right...... I'll go back and think about it. ”

"Don't be discouraged, you've done a great job." Lu Zhou encouraged, "As long as the flaws in the paper are addressed, there is no doubt that this is an excellent result." ”

Biting her lip, Vera shook her head a little stubbornly, the ends of her blonde hair swaying slightly.

"But I still miscalculated."

Looking at the students who were in deep thought, Lu Zhou thought for a moment and spoke.

"Wednesday is my first number theory class, and if you have time, I'd like you to come and sit in for it."

After a pause, he continued, "Although the undergraduate courses don't mean much to you anymore, you are my teaching assistant, and occasionally I need you to help me with the class when I can't get busy. ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to give a lecture on stage, the little girl, who was still listening carefully, suddenly became a little nervous: "Am I also going to give a lecture on stage?" ”

"Of course, substitute teaching is part of the teaching assistant's job, and I should have told you before."

Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "Moreover, it will be very helpful for your research to think about some obvious questions once in a while. Maybe a number theory class will be the starting point for your inspiration. Just like when I solved the Goldbach conjecture, I was inspired by Feverman's number theory class, although the content of his class at that time had nothing to do with the Goldbach conjecture. ”

Vera opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Lu Zhou didn't leave her any way out, patted her on the shoulder, and gave him an encouraging look.

"Take it easy, you even got through the UC Berkeley presentation, and you still have to worry about Princeton's math class?"

Vera blushed and lowered her head.

"I see."

……

Because of the food he ate on the plane and the jet lag, Lu Zhou is not very hungry now.

After asking Vera downstairs to bring him a bacon sandwich, he stopped what he was doing and began to sort through the mountains of mail in his drawers.

I haven't been back for a month, and the mail stuffed in the drawer has piled up.

Most of them were copies of contracts sent by White Sheldan, and some were stuffed in in various ways.

From the bottom of the folded document, Lu Zhou suddenly turned out a letter with a very delicate package.

When he saw the envelope signed, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"American Chemical Society?"

With a somewhat puzzled expression, Lu Zhou opened the envelope.

[Dear Professor Lu Zhou, I am the president of the American Chemical Society......]

Skipping the middle part, Lu Zhou looked directly at the last line.

In his experience, the focus of such formal written letters is often in the last few lines.

Then he was stunned.

【…… To thank you for your contribution to the field of organic synthesis and the impact that modified PDS films have made to our world's energy and the environment, we have decided to award you, Roger? Honors for the Adams Award. 】
