Seeing that his conversation with Griffith was interrupted, Smith subconsciously frowned, temporarily stopped his movements and sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to look at the door and responded in a deep voice.

"Come in."

A female assistant, who was about forty years old, pushed the door open and entered, with a clear look of eagerness on her face.

It's like there's something important to report.

But in the next second, after noticing Griffith next to him, his originally anxious pace suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

Before and after walking to the office desktop, I looked a little unnatural, and I didn't know if I should report immediately.

But she clearly ignored Smith's mood.

Because of Xu Yun and the mathematicians' conference, he was already unhappy.

Not to mention the quarrel with Griffith.

Seeing that his assistant didn't speak for a long time after coming in, his brows suddenly wrinkled a little.

Not very satisfied, he tapped his finger on the table and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Hearing Smith speak, the female assistant quickly came back to her senses and didn't dare to continue to delay and hurriedly tell the story.

"We just got the news that the secretary general, Xu Yun's mathematical society, has protested to the alliance, and they have banned members from participating in this mathematician conference."

"Shall we negotiate again?"

After hearing this, Smith immediately raised his hand and said, "No need." ”

"Since they don't want to attend, then let them do as they wish, and the math conference will not be affected by some people."

Smith's idea was simple, it was impossible to threaten the International Mathematical Union in this way.

If compromised today, the authority of the alliance will suffer.

Although all of them will not participate in this mathematician conference, there will definitely be media to ask about this matter, but it will not be impossible to solve it smoothly.

Anyway, the number of people attending the International Congress of Mathematicians is on the rise.

A small number of people will not affect the convening of the General Assembly.

It's a big deal to bring more people who participate online to offline.

On the contrary, after the end of this conference, the alliance can openly weaken the power of the mathematical society.

Griffith, who was sitting in a chair next to him, listened to all the conversation between the two and fell into deep thought.

In addition to being surprised that the mathematics society over there could do this for Xu Yun, he was also very disappointed in the International Mathematical Union.

Obviously, this approach has deviated from the original purpose of the alliance.

Mathematics has long ceased to be pure.

However, he could not go to the conference on behalf of himself to support Xu Yun, but he could not make decisions for the Clay Institute of Mathematics, so he had to remain silent for the time being in this situation.

But the female assistant had more to say.

Before Smith could finish arranging this, she continued: "And they held their own math exchange event, which opened at the same time as the mathematicians' conference, and the other party also announced that mathematicians from all over the world were invited to participate." As he spoke about this, there was a rather obvious worry between his eyebrows.

It can be seen that the other party is still more worried, afraid that this will affect the International Congress of Mathematicians in a few months.

After all, the International Mathematical Union is the organizer, and it would be a shame if no one participated.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words in one go, she was interrupted again by Smith raising his hand.

"Just because they also want to open an exchange meeting and compete with us, it's just a fool's dream."

Smith didn't take this matter to heart in the slightest, and what about holding an exchange meeting at the same time as the conference, the two together would be the best judgment for any mathematician.

He didn't believe anyone would be so stupid as to give up attending the conference and choose a meeting with a small organization.

Except for Xu Yun's strength, everything else has no value at all.

In any case, the International Congress of Mathematicians has held so many sessions, which has a profound background.

Griffith, who was next to him, also had a somewhat gloomy face at the moment, and he didn't expect Xu Yun to take this way to deal with it.

And he is not optimistic about it.

At that time, if the International Congress of Mathematicians is held normally, it will only further damage Xu Yun's reputation in the mathematical community.

The key is that this is equivalent to completely tearing the face with the alliance, and the alliance will definitely take measures to target it after the conference, after all, he still knows a little about Smith's character.

On the surface, it seems to be easy to get along with, and he has a relatively pure love for mathematics.

In fact, it is only the interests of the alliance that are most at stake.

But thinking of the relationship between himself and Xu Yun, if Xu Yun invited him, then he should not refuse.

Just as their minds were racing and thinking about this, the female assistant finally seized the opportunity to tell the last thing.

"The secretary general, in addition to the other party's public announcement to hold this mathematical exchange event, Xu Yun also said that he would solve the Riemann hypothesis problem on the spot."

Smith hadn't reacted yet, but when he heard the last sentence, he abruptly turned his gaze.

His face was cloudy and uncertain, and he asked.

"What did you say?"

"Repeat what you just said."

Since the female assistant came in from outside in a hurry, she naturally knew what this incident meant.

It was only the frequent interruptions by Smith that it was too late to speak.

Seeing Smith like this now, where do you dare to hesitate.

Immediately nodded in reply.

"Xu Yun publicly posted through his account that he wanted to completely solve the Riemann hypothesis problem at the exchange meeting."

"This news has already attracted the attention of the global mathematical community."

"Why didn't you just say it?" Smith was furious when he learned of this.

The emotions that had finally calmed down just now disappeared.

Thinking that this matter would be solved like this, Xu Yun going to open his own exchange activities had no effect on him, who would have thought that at the critical moment, he would actually take out the big killer weapon of the Li Man hypothesis.

As secretary general of the Mathematical Union, Smith is undoubtedly well aware of the value of Riemann's hypothesis.

If Xu Yunzhen announces the results of the proof at the meeting, it is indeed possible to attract a large number of mathematicians to participate.

Witness the birth of a new milestone in the history of mathematics.

But he couldn't be sure of the truth for a while.

First of all, Riemann's hypothesis is the problem of the century, and no mathematician can prove it thoroughly.

Xu Yun doesn't necessarily have this certainty.

However, Xu Yun proved the Hodge conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture.

With these two names, whether the Riemann hypothesis is proved or not, I believe that many mathematicians will come to witness it.

In this way, the International Congress of Mathematicians is really facing the embarrassing situation of no one attending for the first time.

The female assistant bore Smith's anger, and although she wanted to say that her words were interrupted, she swallowed back and remained silent.

As if he was afraid of setting himself on fire, Smith vented his anger on himself.

In front of Griffith, Smith must not be able to do anything ungentlemanly, so he had to wave his hand to let the other party leave temporarily.

It wasn't until he and Griffith were the only ones left in the office that Smith turned his gaze and asked.

"Do you really believe that he can solve the Riemann hypothesis?"

"Why not believe it." A rare smile finally appeared on Griffith's face at this time, and he asked the other party a rhetorical question before continuing: "Don't forget that he proved the Hodge conjecture and the Goldbach conjecture. ”

"The Riemann hypothesis is a well-established Everest century problem in mathematics, and it also involves quantum mechanics."

Smith immediately refuted Griffith's words, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't have any confidence.

Griffiths naturally saw this.

"Since you don't believe that Xu can prove the Riemann hypothesis, then why are you so nervous?"

He said this with a smile still on his lips, and then stood up and took his leave.

"I'm not going to be here for a short time today, so I'll leave first." With that, he walked towards the door.

Knowing that Xu Yun might have solved the bombshell news of Riemann's hypothesis, where was he still in the mood to stay here and waste time.

It must be necessary to find a way to determine this matter quickly.

If this is true, then there will be new advances in the field of mathematics.

At the same time, Xu Yun will also make indelible contributions to mathematics, which will be remembered by all mathematicians in the future.

However, it is worth mentioning that just as Griffith walked to the door of the office, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

Finally, I left a message for Smith.

"By the way, Mr. Secretary-General, I may not be invited to this year's International Congress of Mathematicians."

As the words fell, his figure quickly disappeared into the office.

"Falk Squid!"

Looking at Griffith's back, Smith could no longer control the anger in his heart and slapped the table hard.

As Griffith said, he did have concerns about it.

I am worried that Xu Yun has really solved the Riemann hypothesis problem.

As he just said, the Riemann hypothesis is a recognized problem of the Everest century in the mathematical community, and it is reasonable to say that no one can solve it.

After all, the quantum mechanics involved in this problem, and the field involved in human disciplines is still very shallow.

But despite this, he was not at ease at all.

There was a faint feeling in my heart that Xu Yun could really solve it.

The main Xu Yun's achievements at his age are a miracle, and no one can guarantee that the miracle will happen again.

If he were a mathematician, he would never take this kind of thing to heart.

Of course, he also understands that it is too late to say anything, and even if Xu Yun is re-invited to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians, it will not be possible to save the situation.

Fortunately, he is very clear about his responsibility, whether Xu Yun proves the Riemann hypothesis problem is not of much concern to him, and what he continues to do now is to make the International Congress of Mathematicians officially held.

At least not too many people must not be allowed to run to Xu Yun.

"If you want to prove the Riemann hypothesis, it depends on whether you have the mathematical talent or not."

I don't know what came to mind in my mind, Smith muttered softly, and immediately took out his phone to connect.

It is intended to use the security building to put pressure on those well-known mathematicians to prohibit them from traveling to the city of Beijing to participate in exchange activities.

It's kind of a two-handed preparation.

While ensuring the situation on his side, let's see how far Xu Yun can do things.

In any case, if the Riemann hypothesis is not solved in the end, it will be a deception to the entire mathematical community.

It's a pity that Smith has been the secretary general of the alliance for a long time, and he has lost the hot and pure heart of the pursuit of mathematical problems as a mathematician.

For true mathematicians, no matter how much resistance they face, they will certainly not give up the time to witness such a historical moment.

……

……

The heat brought by Riemann's hypothesis will not pass quickly, and when the Internet is still hotly discussed, Xu Yun and the mailbox of Beijing University have also received many emails from mathematics departments and mathematicians in overseas universities.

Most of the emails were about the Riemann hypothesis and whether it had been proven to be true.

For Xu Yun, he naturally did not say that the Riemann hypothesis was still being proven, but just asked them to participate in the exchange activities held by the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics of Beijing University on time, and the results would naturally be announced at that time.

At the same time, it will also be questioned and verified by all the mathematicians present.

Those universities and mathematicians saw that Xu Yun was so confident, and they had to believe in the authenticity of this matter.

In this case, where will I go to the International Congress of Mathematicians.

soon accepted Xu Yun's invitation.

You can imagine what kind of rare scenes will appear when this day comes.

At the same time, when Xu Yun was studying quantum mechanics, he also began to sort out the proof process in his mind.

"Mentor, when did you study the Riemann hypothesis, and you actually had a proof idea so quickly, which is really too strong."

In the office of the Institute for Advanced Study of Mathematics at Beijing University, Li Youzhi stood at his desk with little stars in his eyes, and he could be said to have achieved an unprecedented admiration for his mentor.

Originally, he and Zhang Yang successfully proved the whole point problem in the circle and published a paper through the efforts of the past few months.

The mood is not bad, and there is a sense of accomplishment.

Thinking about this, at least he didn't embarrass his mentor Xu Yun.

As a result, there was a hot search on the Internet about Xu Yun's solution to the Riemann hypothesis.

When he first saw it, he startled the two of them.

It is important to know that although the Riemann hypothesis is also a difficult problem in number theory, it is not known how much more complex it is than Goldbach's conjecture, and there is still a relatively high threshold.

In particular, quantum mechanics is included.

After learning the news, the two of them also made a special effort to find out, but found that they couldn't study it at all.

It's hard to even get started.

I found Xu Yun with excitement, and after confirming this incident, in addition to their excitement, the pressure also doubled.

Seeing that their tutor is about to solve a world math problem, if they don't hurry up to make some achievements, how can they be worthy of Xu Yun's glorious identity as a student.

Although Zhang Yang is more introverted, he has become a lot more cheerful with Li Youzhi this month.

At this time, he took Li Youzhi's words, and said with a sincere smile: "The tutor's understanding of mathematics is too high, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to catch up in this life." There is no falsehood in the words.

It is definitely from the bottom of my heart, and I have a deep admiration for Xu Yun's research in mathematics.

Xu Yun had already planned to officially start the proof of Riemann's hypothesis today, and when he heard the words of his two students in his ears, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear with a warm smile.

He is quite satisfied with his two graduate students, and he has a good talent in mathematics.

At present, the two of them are equivalent to completing all the content at the graduate level, and there is essentially no difference between a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Although their research on the Riemann hypothesis is relatively shallow, they can be somewhat helpful if they have a foundation in number theory, and are responsible for sorting out the formula steps and verifying some numerical values.

The key is that this is a good opportunity for both of them to learn and grow, and it will be of great help in the future.

The thought stayed here, and Xu Yun immediately spoke: "You should also know the situation, I will study the Riemann hypothesis in the next few months, as for your teaching questions, I have arranged all of them, Professor Zhang and the members of the Institute for Advanced Study can all go and ask for advice." ”

"Don't worry, tutor, we will definitely study hard and promise not to disgrace you." Li Youzhi was the first to answer when he heard this.

Zhang Yang followed up and said, "We are all waiting for your mentor to prove that the Riemann hypothesis will shake the mathematical community." ”

After listening to the words of the two, although Xu Yun wanted to say that the Riemann hypothesis proved that it was not only the mathematical community that was shocked, but also the physics community would usher in a breakthrough in the quantum field.

However, he didn't say this, but continued to speak to the two with a smile on his face.

"Don't think I'm okay here, I'll give you some tasks to help me calculate and prove Riemann's hypothesis."

"That's a lot of work."

Li Youzhi, who was very happy just now, Zhang Yang two thousand, his expression instantly stiffened on his face after hearing this.

Of course, it's not that they don't want to accept it, but they are completely beyond their expectations and a little stunned.

Proving the extent of the mathematical problem to which Riemann hypothesized this would be a very fortunate thing if they had access to it.

It's fair to say that the same opportunities don't exist anywhere in the world.

After coming back to their senses, the two looked at each other, and they were very excited in their hearts.

I never thought this kind of thing would happen.

From this alone, it can be seen how correct they were when they chose to apply for Xu Yun's graduate school.

Other graduate students who can participate in the proof of the Riemann hypothesis.

Even if they just run errands for Xu Yun and do the most basic things.

But despite this, the two of them soon inevitably felt worried.

I am afraid that this will affect Xu Yun's progress.

Thinking of this, it was Li Youzhi who finally opened his mouth and expressed the worries of the two of them.

"Mentor."

"Will this affect how quickly you can prove the Riemann hypothesis?"

The main thing is that they also know about the exchange meeting, and the words have been released, so they must complete the entire proof process of the Riemann hypothesis before they begin, and they must also make it impossible for mathematicians from all over the world to find fault and refute it.

If it is really caused by the two of them, I am afraid that my conscience will be disturbed for the rest of my life.

Xu Yun only glanced at the expressions of the two of them and guessed what they were thinking.

However, he did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"How?"

"Afraid of holding me back?"

Then he saw the two of them fall silent, and continued: "Since I asked you to help, it must be measured, or are you afraid that you will not be able to complete the task I have assigned?" ”

Speaking of which, in the face of such a rare opportunity in life, it would be really stupid to refuse.

What's more, for mathematicians, who doesn't want to witness the proof of the world's mathematical problems.

The thought stayed here, and the two hurriedly responded without any hesitation.

"We promise to get the job done."

——

Things were properly arranged, and Xu Yun also began to dive into the proof of Riemann's hypothesis.

In addition, Qin Xiangxin also specially announced a rule prohibiting others from going to Xu Yun to avoid disturbing Xu Yun's thoughts and inspirations.

In any case, make sure that you are able to complete the entire certification process before the exchange begins.

Soon it will be the Spring Festival at the end of the month, because Xu Yun is confident about proving Riemann's hypothesis, so he will naturally not miss the New Year with his family.

What's more, this is the first Spring Festival and New Year he has spent with his daughter for the first time as a father.

It is very monumental.

However, Li Youzhi and Zhang Yang, in order to cooperate with Xu Yun to complete the task on time in this mission, chose to stay at the Institute for Advanced Study during the Spring Festival to continue to verify the numerical formula in their hands.

Time flies like a white horse, relying on the complete Riemann hypothesis proof process in his mind, Xu Yun's research is naturally extremely smooth.

Towards July, the entire certification process was basically completed.

All that remains is to demonstrate the proof process to ensure that the step formula is not overturned.

Xu Yun is naturally confident in his proof process, but the process is essential.

After all, when the time comes, mathematicians around the world will definitely do everything possible to find loopholes in the proof process, and it is indeed better to go through it yourself first.

Fortunately, relying on computers and artificial intelligence to assist in simulation verification, the process will be much shorter.

And as the time officially enters July, with only a few days left before the International Congress of Mathematicians, the entire global mathematical community has become undercurrent.

Many mathematicians have begun to struggle with the question of which conference to attend.

At the same time, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Professors Nedrine and Witten sat in the office, and it was clear that they were not in a good mood from their expressions.

"Why should the security building restrict us from traveling, they don't have that right at all."

Witten, a Fils Award winner, was annoyed by the thought of what had happened recently, and his heart couldn't stop feeling angry.

They admired Xu Yun, the youngest genius in the field of mathematics, and believed that he represented the future direction of mathematics.

At the beginning, Xu Yun was even specially invited to Princeton University and awarded an honorary doctorate.

It turns out that Xu Yun did not disappoint, although he did not seem to focus all his energy on mathematics in recent years, but he still solved the Riemann hypothesis problem and shook the entire mathematical community.

With their understanding of Xu Yun, they will definitely not go to something that they are not sure of.

So it is highly likely that the Riemann hypothesis is true.

The significance of this is self-evident, so they decided to go to Jingzhou City to witness it with their own eyes.

As a result, when they went through the procedures, they were told that they were restricted from traveling and could not travel to Jingzhou City.

Thinking of the friction between Xu Yun and the International Mathematical Union, it is naturally not difficult to understand what happened in the middle.

This is definitely a very big insult to people who only want to study mathematics.

Professor Deligne fell silent after listening to Witten's complaints, and it was obviously impossible for him to give up like this.

What's more, he himself informed Xu Yun in an email that he would arrive in Jingzhou City on time to witness this mathematical milestone moment.

After about half a minute, Deligne raised his gaze and said, "Let's go to the International Congress of Mathematicians first, and then transfer to Jingzhou City." His eyes were unusually firm when he spoke.
