Chapter 161: Fame in the World (14)

"Dear journalists, it is my pleasure to invite you to Princeton University to attend the press conference of this prestigious event in the field of mathematics. First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming. Principal William said with a calm expression.

The reporters in the audience slandered one by one, where is this inviting us to come to Princeton University, is it clear that we took the initiative to come? You were still stopped by people at the door, and you were embarrassed to say that you were very happy? There is a wood in the ground.

However, the belly slander is the belly slander, and the face that should be given still has to be given, so I still applauded vigorously.

"First of all, we have Professor Chern, the president of the American Mathematical Society, to speak."

Professor Chen did not shirk his words, stood up and walked to the podium, and then said slowly: "It is a pleasure to stand here, and thank President William and all my colleagues at Princeton, you are a very good group. ”

After a round of applause, Professor Chen began to get to the point. Professor Chen first introduced Junxin's identity in a short text. Then, in a burst of exclamation, he spent more than ten minutes explaining the ins and outs of Model's conjecture and the meaning and application of the problem, and then ended his speech.

"Okay, thank you Professor Chen for your speech, now I would like to invite Jun Xin from the Department of Mathematics of Shuimu University in China, now he is a sophomore in the Department of Mathematics of Princeton University, we are very happy to have him to speak on stage, rest assured, he will not be a very shy young man, you can ask him boldly if you have any questions later, I think you will be able to get the answers you want."

Junxin really doesn't feel much about the media, the so-called indifference can be fearless, Junxin is this idea. He has never paid much attention to the media, even in the era of extremely developed online multimedia in his previous life, he paid little attention to the media.

Therefore, Junxin still followed his usual style, casually put on a dress and walked to the podium, and began his own speech: "It is an honor to stand here, thank you to Princeton, thank you to the predecessors of the academic community. The Modell conjecture is a conjecture in number theory proposed by Mr. Louis-Modell sixty years ago, and it is a pity that Mr. Modell died ten years ago and could not see the day when his conjecture was proven. ”

"For me, the Modell conjecture is a product of my research on Fermat's theorem, and it is also a milestone achievement. Professor Chen has already explained it very completely, so I will not repeat it here. ”

"I don't think I have much to say, you know, I've said so much about the Moder conjecture in these two days of meetings that I feel like I'm running out of words. So just skip it, you guys can ask directly if you have any questions. ”

Junxin's practice of not following the process of the press conference did not cause the media to be surprised. In fact, there are many such people in the scientific community, and these people who have been dealing with the media for many years have more or less seen such scholars who do not play according to the rules. Principal William on the side also expected it, so as soon as Junxin's words fell, he began to assist.

"I would like to ask this reporter from the HSD Post a question."

The reporter of the HSD Post was a middle-aged man who looked capable, and as the mouthpiece of the US state, he naturally paid great attention to his words, but he stood up very elegantly and asked, "May I ask Mr. Junxin, how did you discover such a major mathematical breakthrough at such an old age?" Please forgive me for being rude, because your age is truly astonishing. ”

Jun Xin shook his head and said, "The answer to this question is actually very simple. In the world of mathematics, the younger the mathematician, the more great the results can be, even if mine is not great. But luckily I found a different way of thinking, so I was able to solve the problem. It doesn't have anything to do with my age. ”

"As far as I know, one of the mathematicians in history who has achieved significant and outstanding results under the age of twenty is Mr. Galois, who founded group theory. Galois founded group theory at the age of eighteen, and as far as I know, the Modell conjecture was the work you did last year, so can you say that you are the Galois of this era? ”

Junxin frowned, and replied calmly, "I'm sorry I want to say no to you." It is indeed a great achievement that Mr. Galois founded group theory at the age of eighteen, and now I am only proving a Modell conjecture, although the result is not small, but it cannot be compared with Mr. Galois's creation of a system. What's more..."Jun Xin paused and said word by word, "I am who I am, and I don't need to compare myself with anyone." So I'm not Galois of the twentieth century, I'm just the gentleman of the twentieth century, that's all. ”

Junxin's words instantly triggered a storm below. Junxin's meaning is very clear, he is himself, and he doesn't need to be compared with others. However, when Junxin's words reached the minds of these uncrowned kings, it immediately became that Galois was already a person of the past, and the mathematical world at the end of the twentieth century was the world of his Junxin.

The second person to be named was a reporter from The Sun. This is a newspaper full of distrust of China. After the reporter stood up, he asked in a tone of deep suspicion: "We all know that China's education is very backward, so how can you complete such a difficult research in that backward country?" Is there anything we don't know about? ”

The words of the reporter of "The Sun" were very sharp, and Jun Xin frowned after listening to it, and he knew that this was the most typical discrimination. However, Junxin is not easy to bully, although he always looks modest academically, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have fire. It's just that it doesn't usually show up. But once this happened, his anger was ignited all at once.

But even if his heart is full of anger, Junxin also seems unusually calm. However, the formatted smile was gone, and he asked calmly and abnormally: "Do you mean that my research is the result of plagiarism?" ”

"I didn't say that, I just doubted that with China's backward level, could it really make such world-class results?" The reporters of The Sun are not stupid and slyly avoid this issue.

"So have you been educated in China?"

"How could I go to that backward place to get an education? You know, I received an authentic American elite education. Why do you ask? ”

Jun Xin smiled coldly, looked at the complacent reporter, and coldly began to ask questions.
