"Money?" The principal looked at Junxin, who seemed to be shy, in front of him, and was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"Yes!" Jun Xin said affirmatively.

Professor Hu frowned and asked, "What do you want money for, and how much do you want?" ”

Junxin smiled and said, "Recently, I was doing a study on the extrapolation of the Penrose model to three-dimensional space, but I found that this is directly related to the crystal structure of chemistry, so I want to apply for some funds to study this problem!" ”

"Crystals?" The headmaster also came to his senses.

"Yes, I have been doing research with Professor Chen Haochen in the School of Chemistry recently, and the derivation of the theoretical part has been solved, and the optical transformation experiment on the structure has also been successful, and the following experiments require a certain amount of funding to be carried out."

Professor Hu on the side nodded and said, "What Xiaojun said is right, he handed me an article some time ago, and successfully solved the mathematical model of three-dimensional space extrapolation of Penrose's two-dimensional model!" It should be true! ”

"How much more money will it cost?" The principal groaned for a while and asked, other things are fine, but when it comes to funding, even he has to be cautious, after all, there are more monks and less porridge, and I don't know how many people are staring at the already small funds!

"Well, I'll do the math! The Annals of Mathematics just sent me a few hundred dollars for the manuscript, which adds up to about 2,000 dollars. But Professor Faltings at Princeton University wanted me to have time to go there and talk to him, so at least I had to keep a thousand or so, and I had a thousand or so left to take out myself. The general direction of the experiments I did has been completed, so there are still a few more rounds of groping, which should be about the same, and the rest can be done with a few more verification experiments. It adds up to about three thousand. ”

"Three thousand?" Professor Hu asked with certainty.

"Yes, three thousand!" Junxin said with certainty.

In the 80s, 3,000 yuan was equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan in later generations, and Mizuki University had never given so much funding to a student, so it is estimated that this matter will have some twists and turns, but Junxin is not worried at all, with Professor Hu's help to fight for it, plus Professor Chen's side has made some efforts, 3,000 can't be obtained, 2,000 is still available, and he doesn't really need 3,000 yuan, as long as he gets 2,000 yuan, he can continue the rest of the experiment.

"I need to have a meeting to discuss this, but given your results, I don't think it's a big problem!" The headmaster thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of problem, the principal will not take the initiative to express his tendency, and since he said so, it is enough to show that he agrees with Junxin's request.

"Thank you, Principal!" Junxin hurriedly thanked him, his senses for the principal were still very good, and he was full of good feelings for the principal at this time.

"Let's put down the verbal thanks first, there is something here that you need to cooperate with." The principal waved his hand and said, "You have to cooperate well, so I can give you extra points or something." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

"Since your paper is the first paper with international impact after the reconstruction of the Department of Mathematics of our school, the school will do a key publicity." Professor Hu said on the side.

"What do you need me to do?"

"The school's propaganda department has made a plan, and let the minister of the propaganda department tell you about the specific situation, and you try to cooperate with them."

As soon as the principal finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a short stature and a slightly dignified face came out of the large group of people standing behind the principal, and said to Junxin: "I am the minister of the Propaganda Department, just call me Teacher Bao." Let me now explain to you what we are going to do. ”

Junxin nodded, and after Minister Bao's explanation, he quickly figured out the arrangement.

First of all, there is some publicity within the school, which does not require Junxin's appearance, but after that, the school will organize a lecture on mathematics, and Junxin must be present at that time. In addition, the school will hold a press conference to introduce Junxin's achievements to the public. Finally, Junxin is also required to accept the reporter invited by the school to do a special interview on the Modle conjecture.

Junxin nodded in understanding, and then agreed on a time with Minister Bao, and everyone dispersed. Only then did Junxin have time to write back to Professor Faltings.

"Dear Professor Faltings,

I am very pleased that I have received your letter and have been praised and affirmed by the professor for some of the results I have achieved.

The world of mathematics is so magical and full of unknowns and mysteries, which brings great challenges to the research of modern mathematicians. However, the unknown world is there, and there will always be people who creatively propose some results in the face of the unknown and mystery. What I have achieved is only one of the insignificant.

The world of mathematics has developed to this day and has experienced three major crises. The first was the Pythagorean irrational number, the second was the invention of calculus, and the third Russell's paradox produced a series of problems on the basis of mathematics.

In a sense, I think the construction of the Akizuki Foundation brought about by the Third Mathematical Crisis is the most mathematically significant. Because this means that our mathematical foundation is not deep enough to support the construction of any mathematical edifice.

In 1900, Mr. Hilbert proposed 23 problems, which played a huge role in the development of mathematics. There are some issues that have been resolved, some issues that are close to being resolved, and still others that have not yet been resolved. Fermat's theorem was the object of my study after I became interested in Hilbert's problem, and the Modell conjecture was also a result of solving Fermat's theorem. In 1979 Liepenbohm said: "There is every reason to think that the verification of the moder conjecture seems a distant thing. ”

Regarding the "conjecture", Mr. Weir criticized this year: "Mathematicians often say to themselves: if so-and-so were true, 'this is great' (or 'this is too smooth.'" Sometimes it doesn't take much to confirm his hypothesis, and sometimes it quickly disproves it. If, however, after some effort it is not possible to confirm his prediction, then he will speak of the word 'conjecture', even if it is of no importance to him. The vast majority of cases are not well thought out. Therefore, in response to the Modell conjecture, he pointed out: Let's take a look at the "Modell conjecture". It deals with a question that an arithmeticist would hardly fail to ask; Thus one does not get any serious revelation as to whether the question should be staked right or wrong. ”

Obviously, what Mr. Will said was not true, and I came to the conclusion that the conjecture had in some way advanced mathematics. In recent research, I have come up with a conjecture based on Fermat's theorem and the Modler conjecture: if a,b,c exists such that a^n+b^n=c^n, that is, if Fermat's theorem is wrong, then the elliptic curve y^2=x(x-a^n)(x+b^n) would be a counterexample to the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. I already have an idea for this and will send the paper to the Annals of Mathematics later for your suggestions.

Wishing you well,

Your Junxin"

After receiving this letter from Junxin, Faltins thought it to be of great importance, so he revised the letter and sent it to the Annals of Mathematics and landed at the end of the next issue. Mathematicians who have studied Fermat's theorem are eagerly awaiting.
