Chapter 131: IMO

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I'm coming back today to tell you that I'm going to go to the United States in December to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad, so after this vacation, I'm afraid it will be a long time before I come back."

As if remembering something important, Su Muxin took a picture of it while playing with the dragon seal in her hand, and said to Lin Yu casually.

"International Mathematical Olympiad?"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said very puzzled: "Shouldn't this thing be held in July every year?" ”

International Mathematical Olympiad, abbreviated as IMO.

It is the longest event in the history of the International Science Olympiad, and it is an international mathematics competition for middle school students, which has a great influence in the world and is known as the "Mathematics World Cup".

In other words, it is an international competition for secondary school students from all countries of the world, with the aim of discovering and encouraging young people from all over the world who are talented in mathematics, similar in nature to the Olympic Games.

"That's right, basically every year it's July, but this year I don't know what's wrong, and when it's the turn of the United States as the host, it's inexplicably delayed to December."

Hearing this, Su Muxin's original action of taking pictures suddenly paused, and after thinking for a while, she said.

Hearing this, Lin Yu thought about it, and was about to continue to ask, but there was a crisp doorbell outside the door.

Well? How could anyone come at this point in time, could it be someone from the School of Mathematics?

Lin Yu frowned, thought in his heart, slowly came to the door, glanced through the cat's eyes, and found that they were two old men wearing Mao suits, full of energy and spirit.

It's just that when Lin Yu's gaze swept over their old faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar, he suddenly showed surprise.

Because these two old men are not only mathematicians in the School of Mathematics, but also the current dean of the School of Mathematics, and proper math leaders.

Obviously, they should have come this time to award themselves the award of a first-class mathematician.

However, what Lin Yu didn't expect was that the School of Mathematics would be attended by these two old men in person.

You must know that the Huaxia Academy of Sciences and the College of Liberal Arts have only sent one representative, but the Academy of Sciences has made it so grand.

Such a strange scene really made Lin Yu feel that something was not right.

Therefore, although there were some doubts in his heart, Lin Yu did not have idle hands, but opened the door and looked at the two old men outside the door with a smile.

As the door opened, the old man Chern's old man looked at Lin Yu with a smile on his face, and said apologetically: "Hello, Lin Yu Xiaoyou, we are from the School of Mathematics, I'm sorry, because of some special reasons, we are late, I hope you can understand." ”

"Of course, as compensation, we will not only award you the Order of Mathematics today, but also tell you good news."

At the end of the words, the smile on the old man Chern's face became brighter and brighter, as if he had thought of something happy.

"That's right, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised when you hear the news."

After the old man's voice fell, Qiu Chengtong on the side also echoed with a smile.

"Uh......"

Looking at the appearance of these two old men singing and harmonizing, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Hehe, two old men, please come in, let's sit and talk about something." ”

Saying that, Lin Yu also asked the two of them to come in and sit in the living room, and he went to pour a cup of hot tea for the two old men.

And while Lin Yu was busy, Su Muxin, who was taking pictures of medals and trophies not far away, also walked over curiously.

It's just that when she saw the two math bigwigs on the sofa who often appeared in various newspapers and news, her heart suddenly became a little excited.

The two old men naturally noticed Su Muxin, and they all greeted her with a smile, and then chatted with her.

The amiable appearance is like his uncle seeing his granddaughter.

During the chatting between the three of them, Lin Yu also brought two cups of hot tea over and handed them to the two old men, while he sat on the sofa.

"Lin Yu Xiaoyou, this is a first-class mathematician award awarded to you by the Academy of Mathematics."

Sit in Lin Yu

After getting down, the old man Chern, with a smile, took out a wooden box containing medals and certificates from his briefcase, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "In addition, another good news is that your report on the proof of the Riemann conjecture in the field of plural numbers has been successfully entered into the International Journal of Mathematics!" ”

Almost as soon as Old Man Chern's voice fell, Qiu Chengtong, who was next to him, also quickly took out the rearranged envelope and the "Annals of Mathematics" from his briefcase.

"International Annals of Mathematics?"

Looking at the pile of things on the table, Lin Yu was very surprised and took the "Annals of Mathematics" and looked through it.

Lin Yu naturally understands what the Annals of Mathematics is, especially for a mathematician, it means a supreme honor.

However, for Lin Yu, a mathematician who is not even an amateur, he just felt a little surprised.

Because he can use the Annals of Mathematics as a copy at any time as long as he wants.

Even more exaggerated, Lin Yu can make the entire "Annals of Mathematics" publish papers on various mathematical problems published by himself.

After all, this is not a difficult thing for Lin Yu, who has a super brain.

It's just that it doesn't do any good other than to be as high-profile and troublesome as an idiot.

At least, that's true for Lin Yu.

Therefore, he was only a little surprised that his proof report appeared in the Annals of Mathematics, and he was not surprised.

Looking at Lin Yu, who was looking at the "Annals of Mathematics" with a flat expression, the old man who was originally a little excited was also slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at each other with Qiu Cheng and the old man.

Feeling that something seemed to be wrong with the situation, Qiu Chengtong coughed lightly, then looked at Lin Yu with a smile, and said: "Lin Yu, that's the case, because as long as any mathematician's proof report is published in the Annals of Mathematics, then Princeton will specially invite the winners to go there to attend their annual year-end report meeting." ”

"Not long ago, the staff of our School of Mathematics called you, and after obtaining your consent, we carefully revised your work and submitted it to the International Mathematical Yearal, what we didn't expect was that your work was successfully published."

After listening to Qiu Chengtong's words, Lin Yu's original action of flipping through the "Annals of Mathematics" suddenly paused, and then frowned and took the envelope on the table and opened it to read.

And when he read the letter written by Deligne in the envelope and the invitation sent to him, his frowning brow couldn't help but deepen.

To be honest, Lin Yu is not interested in attending the Princeton year-end report meeting.

Because unlike those pure mathematicians, his title of first-class mathematician was only obtained by randomly solving the Riemann conjecture in order to verify the skill of superbrain.

It can be said that he became a first-class mathematician just casually, not to mention interest, let alone love.

Therefore, for a provincial event like the Princeton year-end report meeting, which can deal with all kinds of mathematicians, Lin Yu does not want to go at all, and he is not willing to go.

Besides, instead of going to the United States to participate in this boring year-end report meeting, isn't it fragrant for him to accompany Su Muyun at home?

You know, when he went to Princeton, it was already the eleventh lunar month, and it would be the New Year in a while.

It's just that the current situation is that if he doesn't go to Princeton's year-end report meeting, I'm afraid he can't say anything.

Because who had personally agreed to the staff's request to submit their certification report to the International Annals of Mathematics?

Looking at Lin Yu, who was extremely reluctant, and Su Muxin, who was curiously staring at the wooden box and certificate on the table, the old man Chern seemed to think of something important, and said with a smile: "I just heard Mu Xin say that she is in high school, and she still needs to go to the United States to participate in the IMO competition in December. ”

"It just so happens that you are also going to attend the year-end report meeting in Princeton at the end of December, so you two can go together."

"Because the IMO competitions in the past have required our mathematics school to send three mathematicians to lead the team, as long as you go, you can just occupy a place to lead the team."

After speaking, the old man Chern's eyes were also tightly fixed

looked at Lin Yu, his eyes were full of expectation.

And after listening to the words of the old man Chern, Su Muxin, who was originally watching the play next to her, was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lin Yu with a surprised face.

She didn't expect that the uncle would also go to the United States, and he would go with them as their team leader, which is simply great!

Under the gaze of the three people with different expressions, Lin Yu's originally frowning brows slowly relaxed, nodded and said, "Okay, give me a place to lead the team, and then I will go to Princeton's year-end report meeting." ”

"No problem, as long as you go to the year-end report meeting, then we will send you a message in advance before the start of the IMO competition."

After getting Lin Yu's answer, the old man Chern breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also in a good mood and reminded with a smile: "By the way, there are still two months before the year-end report of Princeton University, you remember to prepare a proof report of the math problem in advance, and you will need to give a speech on stage at that time." ”

"Hmm."

Lin Yu responded lightly, immediately looked at the two old men with a smile, and said very politely: "Then the next thing will trouble the two old men." ”

"Where, this is what we should do."

Hearing this, before the old man Chern's smile opened his mouth to reply, Qiu Chengtong next to him waved his hand and finished what he wanted to say in advance.

Seeing this scene, the old man Chern glanced at him angrily, and then exchanged many details of Princeton's year-end report with Lin Yu again, while Qiu Chengtong added two sentences from time to time on the side.

In the conversation between the three of them, time also passed slowly.

Two hours later, Lin Yu also basically understood the basic process of the year-end report meeting and many things about the IMO leading teachers.

During this period, Su Muyun, who was originally broadcasting live in the bedroom, also heard the movement outside.

Then, she greeted the two old men with a smile as a hostess, and enthusiastically added tea to them and prepared various pastries.

And her beautiful appearance also made the two old men laugh and praise her for her gentleness and virtue.

In the end, the two old men who got the answer from Lin Yu also politely refused Lin Yu's request to let them finish lunch before leaving, and left Su Muyun's house satisfied.

After seeing them leave, Lin Yu also went home to cook and cook.

As for Su Muxin, after knowing that Lin Yu was going to be their IMO leading teacher, she had already excitedly run back to her bedroom to share the good news with her best friend.

At lunch, at the dinner table, Lin Yu also talked to Su Muyun in detail about himself and Su Muxin going to the United States in December.

Moreover, Lin Yu also asked Su Muyun to go with him, and when the time comes, they can go to various scenic spots in the United States together, just like a couple dating.

In this regard, although Su Muyun was very moved, after hesitating for a moment, he finally refused.

Because she is not good at math things, she is embarrassed to follow Lin Yu and his entire team.

Although Lin Yu gave her all kinds of reasons, Su Muyun still didn't convince her heart.

In desperation, Lin Yu could only follow her wishes and let her stay at home alone.

After lunch, Su Muyun went to the live broadcast as usual, and Lin Yu suddenly remembered that he promised netizens to post news on Weibo.

Lin Yu didn't send it because he lacked the rewards of the academy before, but now he has collected them all, so he can finally meet the wishes of netizens and fans at one time.

Soon, Lin Yu came to the glass cabinet that Su Muyun bought for him, took out all the certificates, medals and the most faceted dragon seal trophies inside, and then took pictures and videos of them one by one, and finally uploaded them to his Weibo account.

And with the release of Lin Yu's latest news, the entire Weibo instantly became lively.

"Front row! Front row!! ”

"Mom, I've been waiting for a week, and the Emperor is finally willing to update the news!"

"Obediently, this dynamic, I just want to say, this is the first row of the Yuhuang Three Courts and the top ten outstanding young people in China, these

It's too handsome, isn't it? ”

"Good fellow, as a staff member who has been in the jewelry industry for ten years, I just want to say that these medals of the Emperor are all made of pure gold!"

"! These medals are all pure gold!? ”

"Hold a grass! Not to mention pure gold, look at the medal of a first-class writer, fuck, there is a circle of diamonds on the outside, this Nima is too extravagant! ”

"Hahaha, as we all know, the Faculty of Arts is the richest dog among the three major colleges in China. (Doghead Protector)"

"I feel that the best thing in this should be the Dragon Seal Trophy and the "Cross Star" medal, which are low-key and lose connotation, and they are really worthy of being the reward of the top ten outstanding young people in China, which is simply handsome! ”

"Brothers, I have seen a lot of knowledge today, and I can see so many medals and certificates, it's blood-earning."

"Well, I have a strong sense of substitution, I am already the first of the top ten outstanding young people in China, and I am a genius who takes into account the title of three academies in one."

"Ahem, seeing so many good things, occupational diseases came up all of a sudden, and I suddenly had the urge to go to the royal palace."

"Hahaha, brother upstairs, I want to ask you about your occupational disease, is it serious?"

"Hey, hey, I don't know if it's serious or not, I just know that this kind of behavior upstairs I think is very tortured and very punishing."
