"This question, if there is no hurry, I can do it. But it will take at least about three months. But you only gave me a month, and I really couldn't do it. Anhui Province, Professor Wang Yuan helped the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to the visitor in a serious tone.

The person who came was wearing a military uniform, carrying two bars and two stars on his shoulders, as if he was a lieutenant colonel-level officer, but looking at his bookish air and a trace of iron and blood, he knew that he was a technical officer at a glance. He is a military expert with considerable qualifications and knowledge in the General Armament Department of the People's Liberation Army, surnamed Hu, who is only 30 years old this year, and is already a middle-level officer, and in the entire military industrial system, he can be regarded as a person with a bright future.

"Professor Wang, you may not know the critical situation on the front line, we are very likely to fight with the Vietnamese anytime and anywhere, and the superiors ask us to solve the problem of equipment as soon as possible, but the new weapons have been researched so far, but they are stuck in this problem, and now there is less than a month to solve this problem, I really can't joke with the soldiers about the war that may appear at any time, so I must ask for your help."

Professor Wang frowned and said: "Xiaohu, it's really not that I don't want to help, but this problem is not my field of expertise, this problem involves some advanced transformations in physical mathematics, some elliptic line problems in algebraic geometry and the optimal selection of three-dimensional space structure, which does not belong to my research scope of analytic number theory." And as far as I know, there are very few people in China who have full access to this knowledge. ”

"So, am I really going to give up on this design?" Lieutenant Colonel Hu's eyebrows were frustrated, and his tone was also full of unwillingness.

Professor Wang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "It is not completely impossible to do it, there are two ways to do it, the first is to gather experts in several aspects to conduct research together, and strive to get results as soon as possible; The second way is to find a mathematician who is highly skilled in all of these areas. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Wang, where do you say I am going to find so many mathematicians to solve this problem now?" Even if you find it, it's too late. And didn't you just say that there are no mathematicians in China who are highly accomplished in these three areas? Where do I go to find such a person? ”

"There really is one such person!" Professor Wang said unhurriedly.

"Oh? Who is it? Lieutenant Colonel Hu was pleasantly surprised and couldn't wait to ask. He knew Professor Wang's personality and naturally didn't think that Professor Wang would joke with him.

Professor Wang shook his head and said, "Actually, your father is a more suitable candidate. At that time, he studied in France, where he studied algebraic geometry, and after returning to China, he began to engage in analytic number theory with his teacher. It stands to reason that he is better suited than me. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Hu was silent, but he didn't speak, speaking of which, the reason why he put on this military uniform was not unrelated to Professor Hu's pressure on him, and finally because of too much pressure, he chose to run away from home, and finally joined the army, but in the end, because of his high level of education, he embarked on the direction of military research, which was no different from the route planned for him by his father, so after a few years, he was afraid of seeing his father, and he was unwilling to go home until he had to.

"He's just good at algebraic geometry, and his level of analytic number theory is not enough, and he doesn't have a foundation in mathematical physics, right?" Lieutenant Colonel Hu's words were a bit blunt.

Professor Wang shook his head, ignoring his thoughts, and said, "If you don't use the first method, then you must try the second method." After a pause, Professor Wang continued, "But this time the situation is a bit beyond your imagination, I am not asking you to find your father, but to find one of your father's students. I recommend his students, not him. ”

Although Lieutenant Colonel Hu's face remained unchanged, his tone softened, and he said no longer stiffly: "Oh, who is it? ”

"His name is Junxin, and he is a first-year student at Mizuki University, and he is just 18 years old this year. He has a deep knowledge of algebraic geometry, and his achievements in analytic number theory are not low, and in addition, the problem he has been working on recently is the content of physics, and I think he meets the requirements you said. ”

"Junxin? Freshmen? Lieutenant Colonel Hu's brain was a little confused and repeated it a few times, and then asked in confusion, "Who is he?" ”

Military experts work in places where secrecy is relatively strict every time they conduct research, so they are often unaware of the progress of the academic community, which can also explain that Lieutenant Colonel Hu does not know the most promising new star in the Chinese scientific community today.

"Hehe, don't look at him as a freshman math student now, yet he has done many things that a mathematician can't even do in a lifetime. Last year, he used the thinking method of algebraic geometry to prove the Modell conjecture and the Tate conjecture and the Shavarovich conjecture. ”

"Not long ago, during the winter vacation, he came to our school to teach Hua Luogeng's class, and I found that he also has a high attainment in analytic number theory, and deduced the sufficient conditions for a twin prime conjecture with Hardy's δ method."

"Recently, I heard that he is now studying high-energy particle physics under Professor Zhou, so I think he fits the bill very well."

At this time, Professor Wang stopped the topic, because he found that Lieutenant Colonel Hu on the other side was dumbfounded and did not listen to what Professor Wang said later.

Professor Wang shook his head, he naturally knew what was going on. Genius, there are many in this world, but there are almost no achievements like Junxin, who made such great achievements in his teens. I'm afraid that any genius has come to Junxin, but it also seems that the starlight has dimmed.

It is said that the son of Professor Hu in front of him is also a genius, so he can become a lieutenant colonel at the age of thirty. However, this is not enough in front of Junxin. Historically, there are only a few that can be compared with Gauss when he made the regular seventeen-sided ruler and gauge drawing method and Galois created the group theory. However, such a genius is rare in a century.

"Elder Wang, are you sure?" Although he knew that Wang Lao would definitely not lie in this matter, he still had a trace of luck in his heart after all.

"Hehe, you can go out and inquire and find out."

“…… Mr. Wang, I want to go to Beijing! ”

"Okay, but remember to go to see your father, Junxin is very important to your father, without his approval, unless Junxin is willing, it is impossible to get Junxin's help."

"Don't worry, I know what is important."
