It was already dark, but the laboratory building was still brightly lit.

Professor Tang's office, Lu Zhou knocked on the door and walked in.

In fact, before coming here, he already had a number in his heart about what Lao Tang was looking for him.

Just now, he flipped through his mailbox to the Mathematical Chronicle editorial office for a written letter. Judging by the date, the letter had arrived two days earlier, but he had missed it.

It's just that Lu Zhou couldn't believe that his paper was published so quickly, as if the "Mathematical Chronicle" was in a hurry than him.

For his paper to have such a big face, he couldn't help but be a little flattered for a while.

As soon as he entered the door, Professor Tang put down the pen in his hand and looked at the graduate student working on the computer next to him.

"Xiao Wang, go pour a glass of water for your junior brother."

The graduate student named Xiao Wang pushed his glasses, didn't say anything, and stood up.

Lu Zhou hurriedly said: "No, I'll just come by myself." ”

"No, no, no, please let me come," the graduate student named Xiao Wang put a teacup on the coffee table without saying anything, picked up the electric teapot and poured water, and said respectfully, "Give the big guy tea." ”

"Thank you......"

Looking at the full teacup with a smile and a smile, Lu Zhou had no choice but to grant his kindness.

Sitting down on the sofa, Lu Zhou saw the magazine next to the teacup, which was the latest issue of the original English edition of the "Mathematical Chronicle". And on the thirtieth page that was spread out, Lu Zhou recognized it at a glance, this was the paper he wrote-

Discussion on the Distribution Law of Mersenne Prime Numbers and the Proof of Zhou's Guess

"Did you write this paper in the Mathematical Chronicle?" Sitting behind his desk, Professor Tang asked with a serious face.

"yes." Lu Zhou nodded and glanced at Old Tang strangely.

Who else could it be if it wasn't me?

Is there anyone else named Lu Zhou in Jindae?

The two graduate students in the office gasped and looked at Lu Zhou, convinced in capital letters.

is worthy of being valued by the old Tang Dynasty!

It proves that world-class mathematical problems are so calm.

In other words, if it is themselves, let alone proving a world-class math problem, or even a manuscript in a core journal, they have to celebrate happily, take the prize money from the school, and call a few friends out to rub it off.

“……”

Lu Zhou's calmness made Professor Tang not know what to say.

To be honest, when he saw this paper, he was confused.

The confusion is not directed at the paper itself, but at the person who published it.

He never thought that this kid could really study anything in the field of Mason prime, and even had the intention of letting him touch the ashes and then retreat......

Outcome......

Who would have thought that this kid would not only have made achievements in this field.

And dropped a depth charge on the entire field of number theory research......

“…… Your attainments in the field of number theory are beyond my imagination, and I originally thought that your talent was in the field of functions, but now it seems that I am still blind. Professor Tang shook his head, "I have brought so many students in my life, and in terms of talent, you are the highest. ”

It's not just a blind look.

He couldn't understand it.

It stands to reason that a person's energy should be limited, and a hammer in the east and a stick in the west has always been a taboo for learning, but this taboo does not seem to apply to this kid.

It seems that there is indeed a genius in this world who can ignore common sense.

Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed to be praised, laughed dryly, and said modestly: "Professor Tang, you have won the award, I just suddenly came to inspiration when I was an amateur, and it is not as exaggerated as you said." ”

"Huh."

Old Tang's voice was uninhibited, and Lu Zhou didn't know what to say next.

This hehe, obviously sneering at his hypocrisy of getting cheap and selling well.

Old Tang is still Old Tang, his eyes are too poisonous!

At this time, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Two men walked in one after the other.

Walking behind was Director Lu of the Department of Mathematics, and the old man Lu Zhou who walked next to him didn't know him, but seeing him staring straight at him, he was obviously coming for him.

As soon as he entered the door, Director Lu was just about to call Old Tang, but when he saw Lu Zhou sitting on the sofa, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Did you prove Zhou's conjecture?!"

Lu Zhou looked at Director Lu with an excited face and nodded: "Yes...... Any questions? ”

Before Director Lu could speak, the old man next to him smiled and spoke first,

"There is no problem, I have read your paper, and the process is quite good, and it is indeed worthy of Professor Deligne's praise for you."

Praise?

Deligne?

Who?

Lu Zhou looked confused.

It was the two graduate students in the office who had shocked expressions on their faces.

Deligne!

A viscount canonized by the King of Belgium himself! Proof of the Wey conjecture!

Professor Tang coughed, "Xiao Wang, pour a glass of water for the two professors." ”

Xiao Wang stood up silently and walked towards the cabinet where the tea set was placed.

The strange old man smiled and said, "Old Tang, don't be so polite, I'm just here for a walk, and I'll leave after a while." ”

"This is Dean Qin of our hospital." Looking at Lu Zhou, who was confused, Director Lu introduced with a smile next to him.

Lu Zhou came back to his senses and immediately stood up: "Hello Dean." ”

"Hello hello, you're welcome, sit down." Dean Qin looked at Lu Zhou and nodded approvingly, "Speaking of which, you are Lu Zhou." I wanted to meet you some time ago, but I was delayed by the Mathematics Conference in Norway and only came back from Norway last week. ”

"When I was in Norway at a conference, I talked to Mr. Newman about the paper you had published a few months ago, and he spoke highly of you and told me that you would be able to achieve groundbreaking results in this field in five years at the latest. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so suddenly, that I had just returned from Norway and that you had done such an earth-shattering thing, and that it was in the field of number theory, which was completely different from the functional one. ”

In the end, Dean Qin sighed softly with emotion, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, we old men are becoming more and more useless, and we still have to count on you young generations to prove these mathematical conjectures." ”

"Dean Qin, you're serious." Lu Zhou coughed dryly, a little embarrassed to be praised, "I'm just playing tricks, I can't talk about the earth-shattering, right......?"

Dean Qin looked at Lu Zhou, smiled and said, "Hehe, you'll know why I said that tomorrow." ”

What does this hehe mean?

Lu Zhou was a little confused.

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Dean Qin smiled and continued: "It's not too early, we still have some things to discuss with Professor Tang, you can go back first." ”

It just so happened that Lu Zhou was also going to slip away, and the task completion rate, it was no surprise that his reward was still hanging in the system space and had not been claimed.

So he smiled and said, "Then I'll go first...... By the way, Dean Qin, does the school have any incentive policies for solving such world-class math problems? ”

Professor Tang scolded with a smile: "You kid, you keep an eye on that little profit all day long. Can world-class math puzzles be measured in terms of money? ”

Lu Zhou wanted to nod and tell him yes, but in the end he restrained himself.

Dean Qin and Director Lu also laughed.

"There must be awards, and for this kind of outstanding scientific research achievements, whether it is our school or our country, it is strongly supported!" Dean Qin said with a smile, "However, as for the specific reward, the school will hold a meeting to discuss, and I dare not guarantee when the result of the discussion will be made, but the material reward will definitely not be disadvantaged to you!" ”

Lu Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Dean Xie! ”

Dean Qin smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome." ”

didn't stay in the office for long, Lu Zhou quickly retreated, and when he left, he took the office door with him.

Looking at the back of this kid leaving, Dean Qin smiled and said, "It's a talent." ”

Professor Tang sighed: "Yes, it's just too utilitarian." ”

"It's better to be utilitarian."

"Okay? I think it's better to calm down to do research," Professor Tang shook his head, "His talent in the field of mathematics is the highest I've seen in so many years, and if he is willing to calm down and do his studies, the future is limitless." ”

"Oh? I do think that there is no conflict between utilitarianism and concentrating on learning. Dean Qin said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the kind of talent that doesn't enter the oil and salt will be successful, and we won't be able to keep it." ”

Professor Tang shook his head, but did not answer.

He's seen too many geniuses and he's been obsessed with everyone in Vanity Fair.

Learning is not singing and dancing, if you want to make achievements, you must endure loneliness, and you must learn to actively block the interference of the outside world. This may be unfair to those who have truly contributed to the progress of human science, but since we have chosen this thorny path of truth, we must endure all this.

Perhaps, this is a matter of position.

Dean Qin hopes that Lu Zhou can make achievements at Jinling University, and hopes to label the proof of Zhou's conjecture with the label of Jinling University, so that the School of Mathematics of Jinling University will be famous in the academic circle of China and even the world.

And Tang Zhiwei, he only hopes that this kid can go further on the road to the math building.

Whether it's in Kimda, or in Princeton, or somewhere else......
