As time passed, Professor Hu kept his head down and calculated something, occasionally raising his head to scan some of the formulas listed on the blackboard, and then continued to lower his head. didn't care at all that Junxin and the two were not far behind him. Junxin also took advantage of this rare leisure time to rest on the side to reply to his experience, and sometimes chatted with Hao Peng, who was also idle and bored. In this way, I don't know how much time has passed.

"You two come here!" Just after Junxin recovered some energy, Professor Hu, who had already finished his calculations, seemed to have finally found two people, and beckoned the two people to come forward with a wave of his hand. At this time, in Junxin's eyes, Professor Hu's tone was gentle and low, completely different from the one who had rudely interrupted the two just now.

In that special era, Professor Hu, like many intellectuals, squatted in the cowshed, was posted with big-character posters, and was criticized. However, compared with many other mathematicians, Professor Hu found that he was very indifferent, and there was no frustration or violent backlash, which is why he was able to persevere from that era.

Speaking of Professor Hu, he is also from a famous family. In the field of mathematics, the two world wars led to the relocation of the center of mathematical research from Göttingen in Europe to the United States. One of the most famous mathematicians in China, Professor Chen Xingsheng, who moved the center of the world's geometric research to the United States. After the Second World War, the mathematical community in Europe recovered, and a new world mathematical center was gradually formed, led by France. The world's mathematical community has formed a mathematical center headed by Princeton in the United States, and a mathematical center headed by the French École Normale Supérieure and the University of Paris-Sud. In his early years as a student at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, Professor Hu was a student at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Professor Hu and a number of other scholars in Europe and the United States returned to their motherland one after another, and began to build the scientific system of New China bit by bit on the basis of poverty and whiteness, making significant contributions to China's modernization.

Professor Hu has deep attainments in panfunction analysis, number theory and partial differentiation, especially in number theory, and is ahead of domestic scholars, who has studied number theory under Professor Hua Luogeng, the most famous mathematician in China.

"Your name is Junxin?" Professor Hu also looked at Jun Xin at the same time, in his eyes, Jun Xin's face was slightly pale, the kind of sickly pale who had been overused for a long time, a slightly handsome face, and a slender figure could be regarded as an elegant teenager.

"yes, I don't know what the professor is asking me for?"

"My daughter came back today and told me about you." Professor Hu seemed to be organizing the words, "She said you were trying to solve the relevant content of the Modell conjecture, right?" ”

"It's Senior Sister Hu Xin, right?" Jun Xin suddenly knew that in this world, the only one who knew that he had just proved Modell's conjecture was Hu Xin, and Senior Sister Wen Jing, who had a half-cake of kindness to him, "I just have some ideas for that conjecture." ”

"Tell me about it!" Professor Hu didn't care what Junxin thought, grabbed Junxin's hand and pulled him to a blackboard by the wall. And Hao Peng also followed Professor Hu and Junxin to the wall, Junxin accidentally glanced at it, and found that there was no surprise on his face, thinking that he had already known the news.

"What kind of thoughts do you have on this conjecture, write it down and read it? About...... How did you solve this problem? Professor Hu asked impatiently.

Junxin was not pretentious, picked up a piece of chalk, and began to write a mathematical expression of the Modell conjecture, and then explained: "Regarding the question you just raised, I think so, we know that the Modell conjecture is actually not only a problem in number theory, with the development of abstract geometry, we can use the description method of algebraic curves to look at this problem, we can get ...... and then ......"

In this way, you are really just proving that an algebraic curve with a deficit greater than or equal to 2 is at most a finite number of K points arbitrarily defined in the number field K. That's the problem, right? ”

"The preceding instructions and derivations illustrate ......"

…………

In this way, the two of them kept writing and erasing on the blackboard, and then the formulas on the blackboard changed one after another, and the problems discussed also changed one after another. And Hao Peng, who was standing behind him, could understand a little in front of him, but with the escalation of the discussion between Professor Hu and Junxin, a large number of formulas and mathematical paradigms appeared, and he, the mathematics honor student who was accepted as a disciple by Professor Hu in his sophomore year, actually couldn't understand the conversation between the two at all.

"None of this is the domain of number theory, is it? How do you look more and more like geometry? Hao Peng suddenly felt that his thinking could not be turned around.

In fact, Hao Peng's ideas have inadvertently exposed some characteristics of number theory, and there is a famous saying in the mathematical community: "Mathematics is the queen of natural science, and number theory is the most dazzling pearl in the crown." Problems in number theory often involve the knowledge of various other sub-disciplines, so mathematicians who have made achievements in the study of number theory generally have some understanding and mastery of the preface knowledge of other sub-disciplines.

The two sometimes argued fiercely, sometimes perfected the proof equation for a certain point, and sometimes proposed some improvements to the proof process. In this way, in the intermittent communication, two hours have passed imperceptibly.

"In other words, the core of your proof is actually the problem of high-dimensional algebraic clusters of Abelian clusters?"

"That's true, yes!" Junxin also stopped the seventh piece of chalk in his hand, and the blackboard didn't know how many times it had written a series of mathematical formulas such as algebra and geometry.

"I think it's going to be a huge project!" Although after a long time of arguing and colliding ideas, Professor Hu was not affected at all, and his experience was still so abundant, he waved his hand vigorously and said loudly, "This idea is really wonderful." Not only is it a matter of the Modell conjecture, but you also have a lot of knowledge of algebraic geometry such as the Shavarevich conjecture, Jacobian clusters, high, homology, and the Tate conjecture. At this point, the problem of number theory can be completely solved with algebraic geometry. It's beautiful. ”

After a pause, Professor Hu said excitedly to Junxin: "Okay, if you want to organize your conjecture into a paper, you still need to carefully verify it, so let's do it, you will carefully complete the proof process of your conjecture and all the calculations in the next few days, and if you need my help, you can come to me at any time." ”

"But Professor, I'm only a freshman, and I'm still ......."

"What happened to freshman year, what about freshman year?" Professor Hu interrupted Junxin's words disapprovingly, and said loudly, "My teacher dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, and finally published a paper in the same way? Academic qualifications may be very important in other subjects, but this never includes mathematics. The most important thing in mathematics is talent and ability, talent is there, ability is there, nothing is impossible! ”

Professor Hu said that this example is the legendary experience of Professor Hua Luogeng, the most famous mathematician in China, Professor Hua Luogeng's highest education is only at the junior high school level, but his own ability can be a lifelong professor of the mathematics department of a famous American university, and it has created a large number of schools in China, so that the world firmly remembers China's theoretical science community.

"No, Professor, that's not what I'm talking about!" Seeing that Professor Hu had misunderstood what he meant, Jun Xin said with some tears and laughter, "I've just been a freshman and I'm still in military training!" ”

"Military training?" Professor Hu glanced at it, and then said very arrogantly, "You don't need to participate in any military training." I went back there and talked to the school leaders. Okay, you go back and organize your ideas and papers, and try to send them out sooner! ”

"Yes, I see, Professor."
