"Professor, do you think we are really doing scientific research to achieve so-called honors?" After seeing that Professor Yau Chengtong put down the chopsticks in his hand and lost his appetite, Jun Xin, who understood what he was thinking, shook his head secretly and said.

"That's only part of it!" Professor Yau looked at the boy who was almost half his age.

"Actually, when I was still at Mizuki University, Hua Lao vaguely mentioned it to me in a conversation, so to be honest, I was mentally prepared, but what I didn't know was that the professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton were secretly helping me do so many things, which was indeed my negligence!" Junxin said with emotion, "According to the regulations of the International Congress of Mathematicians, Fields Medal winners need to be nominated by the Academy of Sciences or the School of Mathematics in their country before they can be elected. ”

"Isn't there a way to find someone who can win a Fields Medal through the presidium established by the General Assembly?" Professor Yau's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, I can be considered to meet the conditions, at least my Modell conjecture has been approved by the mathematical community, and there is no problem. The proof of the four-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture will need to be tested for some time, and I believe that I have proved it, but we still need to leave sufficient time for the academic community to prepare. But in the final analysis, it is just a question of what kind of capacity I am going to, IUM is now controlled by Taiwan's representatives, and I will not and cannot rashly participate in such a meeting in which Taiwan represents China for the sake of some of my own interests, which actually involves political issues. The so-called science has no borders, but scientists have their own homeland, that's what it means! ”

"You're not lost at all?" Professor Yau asked in surprise.

"It's a lie to say it's not lost!" A trace of loneliness flashed in Junxin's eyes, but he quickly cheered up and said with a smile: "I heard Professor Smale say that Mr. Grothendieck didn't go to receive the Fields Medal back then?" Finally, Mr. Grothendieck's achievements are not the first person after Hilbert recognized in academic circles? Although I don't dare to say that I have reached this level of my predecessors, the practices of my predecessors are not impossible to learn! Actually, Junxin wanted to use Perelman's example to illustrate, but Perelman doesn't know where he is now!

"Forget it, you think so, I don't bother to care!" Professor Yau shook his head and stopped talking. After that, the conversation turned to other things, and Professor Yau regained his appetite and ate a little more.

"Harvard University will invite you to give an academic presentation, you should be able to agree, right?" After eating, Professor Yau Chengtong drove Jun Xin to the hotel where he was, and suddenly said on the way.

"It's the four-dimensional Pang Jialai guess, right?" Jun asked in confidence. Professor Yau Chengtong actually takes great care of Chinese or Chinese mathematicians, and when Zhang Yitang proved the difference of 70 million between the twin prime conjecture, he first invited Zhang Yitang to give a report at Harvard University, and he spoke highly of him.

"Well, recently, the professors in the department are organizing relevant graduate students and doctoral students to study and research these three articles together, but the progress is a little slow, I was going to take the time to invite you to Harvard University to give a report, but it just so happens that you are here, I will invite you on behalf of Harvard University, there should be no problems in the department and the school, what about you?"

Junxin shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm here to consult Professor Alan Paley on some computer algorithm problems, and by the way, I will fulfill my duties as an assistant coach of the Princeton Tigers, and it will be Christmas in a few days, so I should have more time and no problems!" In fact, before coming to Massachusetts, Junxin was aware of this problem, after all, he had encountered this kind of thing when he went to the University of Pennsylvania, so the time left for himself was quite relaxed. It also leaves time for possible presentations at MIT.

"That's good, the time is tentatively set at two o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, and I will arrange other things!" Professor Yau Chengtong said with satisfaction.

"Sorry for you!" Junxin said with a smile.

"It's nothing to see that you've been able to get to this point step by step!" Professor Yau replied with a smile.

The car had already driven to the hotel where Junxin was located in less than a while, and after emphasizing the time with Junxin again, Professor Yau Chengtong drove the car and left under Junxin's eyes.

"Teacher, what kind of person do you think Junxin is?" Shi Wanxiong, who didn't speak much along the way, couldn't help but ask curiously after the car just turned onto the road.

After hearing his student's question, Professor Yau was silent for a long time before he said, "It's hard to say anything else, but in my opinion, he is a person who has made great achievements!" ”

"Tell us about him, we don't know anything about him, even though we know that he has a high level of achievement in mathematics!"

"Hehe, you want to compete with him, right?" Qiu Chengtong, who knew his apprentice's mind well, said with a smile.

Shi Wanxiong and the other three just smirked and didn't answer. Professor Yau did not continue to ask, but began to answer Shi Wanxiong's reply: "He is eighteen years old this year, and he is already a top young scientist with a reputation in the scientific community. Yes, you heard it right, it's a scientist and not a mathematician. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Yau Chengtong also sighed a little. After learning of the existence of Junxin, Professor Yau Chengtong was very interested in Junxin's resume, and once personally asked the senior management of Mizuki University for Junxin's archives to understand and consult, with his relationship with Mizuki University, he naturally got the most detailed information, and after reading the information, he also felt very incredible about Junxin's achievements.

He just entered Mizuki University last year, after entering the school, before the official start of the school, he proved the Modell conjecture, and then obtained the highest free study permission given to him by Mizuki University, in a chemical crystallography course, he proposed to the teacher that the concept of crystallography has mathematical problems, and then with the help of that teacher, he started from a mathematical point of view after more than a month and nearly two months, and finally found a new form of matter after three-dimensional generalization through the Penrose puzzleHe is now faintly known as the father of quasicrystals in the chemical community, and his status is very high. In an interview with Canadian television, Professor Max Peruz, a famous British chemist, even said that he would nominate him for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry next year. ”

Ignoring the three students who were almost stunned behind him, Professor Yau continued: "This year, he published two papers, one is about the proof of the necessary conditions for the twin prime conjecture, and the other is about the connection between Fermat's theorem and the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture that he left in the process of proving Model's conjecture. ”

"After that, Junxin has also made great achievements in physics, he is currently the world's top in physics, the study of the Young-Mills equation is currently the world's top, he will be the University of Southern California Professor Schwartz's superstring theory for a large degree of demonstration research, thus promoting the reform of superstring theory and Einstein's grand unification theory, is currently the most mainstream physics theory in the world physics community, the physics community is currently faintly called this theory the first superstring theory revolution."

"At this year's Princeton Mathematics Exchange Conference, Junxin put forward an ABC conjecture that was included in the top ten mathematical problems by the Clay Institute of Mathematics, although the proposer of this conjecture also wrote me, Mr. Chen and Professor Zheng Shaoyuan, but this conjecture was actually put forward by him when he was studying Fermat's theorem, and it was only for the sake of influence that the names of the three of us were added at the insistence of the Clay Institute."

"Not long ago, as you know, he published three papers in the Annals of Mathematics at one time, solving the four-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture, and I don't think there is anything wrong with the papers."

"Not long ago, Professor Mirno told me that Junxin has written a book that he will be a guide to mathematical research in the mathematical community for the next twenty years. Professor Mirno, who has never boasted easily, is so positive of this book, which at least shows that the content of this book is quite forward-looking and pioneering. I won't be able to comment until I've read it. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Yau Chengtong also said with emotion: "In fact, his status is very special now, there is no doubt that he is a student, he is still an undergraduate, but no one in all the university professors thinks that he is a student, and even treats him as a professor." ”

"As far as I know, the reason why the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is so active in campaigning for Junxin's award is that it wants to be recognized by Junxin and hope that he can stay in Princeton after the exchange ends. Even a letter of appointment has been written to hire him as a professor at the Faculty of Mathematics. Harvard University is ready for this. ”

"As far as I know, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Los Angeles, Stanford University, Yale University, Columbia University and other American universities that can be called have made such preparations, and they are quite optimistic about his future.

After Professor Yau Chengtong finished speaking, even Shi Wanxiong, who had always been conceited, was completely silent, and the carriage fell into absolute silence.
