Of course, Li Mu was not the only one who felt abrupt, but everyone else in the car also felt such abruptness.

It's just that when Li Mu was recognized, a person sitting in the first row immediately stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to him.

"You are Li Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zeng Mingqiong from Huaguo University of Science and Technology, I really didn't expect to be on the same train as our math genius."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stretched out his hand: "Teacher Zeng, you are so good." ”

And their conversation also attracted the attention of the entire carriage.

Li Mu's name has long been a household name in the mathematical community, and for a while, these domestic mathematicians have greeted him.

Li Mu also met more than a dozen mathematicians from all over the world in a short period of time.

Most people have good intentions towards Li Mu, after all, the current Li Mu is equivalent to the façade of their Chinese mathematics community, with both glory and loss.

And Li Mu has indeed won a lot of face for their Chinese mathematical community in the world.

Now when they communicate mathematics with foreign friends, most of them will mention Li Mu's name and praise them a few times, which makes them all feel honored.

So in the end, these domestic scholars in the car even gave Li Mu a round of applause, which made Li Mu embarrassed for a while.

After all, it's really embarrassing to come to a car full of strangers, and then all these people applaud themselves.

Finally, after thanking these enthusiastic domestic mathematicians, Li Mu and Lin Yao found a place to sit down.

"How does it feel?" Lin Yao asked with a smile.

Li Mu said helplessly: "It's weird." ”

Lin Yao smiled, "This is all brought about by your achievements, after all, you have won us glory in the world, as it should be." ”

Li Mu nodded.

In this way, it doesn't feel as cruel as Professor Wu said at the beginning.

People are still very good.

At this time, a question suddenly came from the side: "Li Mu, I read the abstract you submitted to the conference, is it about the twin prime conjecture?" ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to see that it was the participating scholars sitting in the seat next to them.

It seems to be an associate professor of mathematics from Zengling University, a mathematics school of a second university, called Fan Pairen.

Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The report of this mathematics academic summit does not need to be submitted directly, but only needs to submit an abstract to explain what they want to talk about.

Therefore, he submitted the abstract a long time ago.

Fan Pairen continued to ask, "Are you sure you can solve this problem?" ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand and said, "That's not true." ”

"After all, this is a world-class mathematical conjecture, and who can say that they are sure? My report is basically just a brief sharing. ”

Probably an illusion, Li Mu felt as if he heard this person vaguely relieved?

At this time, Fan Pairen continued: "Actually, I have been studying the twin prime conjecture for almost 20 years, and I have published a lot of related papers. ”

Li Mu was stunned again.

Quite a few related papers?

One step away from proof?

He recalled in his mind all the articles he had read related to the twin prime conjecture, among which were important papers written by domestic authors, and there seemed to be no one named Fan Pairen?

Could this be the kind of hidden boss who doesn't come out of the world?

And if he is really only one step away from proof, he is still willing to share it with himself?

Li Mu was suddenly in awe.

Such a cow man, people are still weird.

"You say, I'm listening."

He nodded.

"Well, the way I came up with it was to use finite fields and the circle method, and my intuition judged that the two methods had some similarity."

Hearing the thoughts that Fan Pairen had said at the beginning, Li Mu was immediately shocked.

Good guy, this must be a hidden big guy, and he can actually use his intuition to judge that there can be a connection between the finite field and the circle method.

In addition, everyone has said that it has been studied for decades, and I am afraid that it is the big guy among the big guys.

想到这里，范湃仁在李牧眼中的形象都变得高大起来。

"Speak, please."

Li Mu's tone of voice became more respectful.

And probably his respectful attitude also gave Fan Pairen confidence.

Then he took a pen and paper from the side, put it on the back of the seat in front of him, and began to write.

And Li Mu also leaned his head up to look at it.

However, when Fan Pairen's first few formulas were written, Li Mu was stunned.

What is this?

Is this how circular and finite fields are combined?

How did he not know?

And this formula, is Fan Pairen sure that what he wrote is right?

That's not true at all, is it?

Can you draw an equal sign on both sides?

Li Mu was a little dazed, what Fan Pairen wrote was completely beyond the scope of his understanding of mathematics.

He couldn't hold back, and he asked, "Professor Fan, the formulas on your two sides shouldn't be equal, right?" The definition field on the right and the definition field on the left are different. ”

However, Fan Pairen said at this time: "I know, I know, but you first look at the results I wrote, and I will explain here later." ”

Hearing Fan Pairen say this, Li Mu was a little puzzled, how to make up for the contradictions that arose here?

It's a matter of defining the domain.

However, thinking that the other party could connect the finite domain with the circle method, Li Mu still believed his words for the time being, and was ready to continue reading patiently.

And the other professors and teachers around him also stuck their heads up in interest.

After all, this is a twin prime conjecture, and there is no one in the whole mathematical community who does not care about this problem.

This Professor Fan can claim to have studied for more than 20 years, and he is only one step away from proof, is there really any statement?

然而，随着范湃仁继续写下去，周围的不少学者们都皱起了眉头，然后都微微摇摇头，不再关注。

And Li Mu was also pulled by Professor Lin Yao next to him at this time.

"Don't look at this person, he ......" Professor Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It may be regarded as a civil science." ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment: "Minke? Can you still be an associate professor in civil science? ”

Professor Lin Yao spread his hands: "This situation is too common, it is possible that they were not civil sciences at first, but then they ...... Enchanted, that's pretty much what it means, didn't there be a Professor Li at Yanfeng University some time ago who claimed to have overturned Einstein's theory of relativity? ”

Li Mu: "......"

Is there such a thing?

The two of them spoke in a low voice, while Fan Pairen next to him was still writing to himself, and finally greeted Li Mu again: "Look at me here, you can explain the problem you just said earlier." ”

Li Mu still turned his head and looked over, after all, Fan Pairen was the first person Li Mu knew who thought that he could combine the circle method with the finite domain.

He still couldn't help but believe it in his heart.

But after looking at it this time, he still gave up the luck mentality.

This is really a civil science!

He couldn't help but ask, "Professor Fan, how exactly did you associate the circle method with the finite domain?" What intuition? ”

"It's just intuition." Fan said: "The finite field element is like a circle, which carries out infinite circulation, and the circle method is also composed of unit circles, and then it is connected in this way. ”

"Just because they can all have something to do with the circle?"

"That's right." Fan Pairen said as a matter of course.

Li Mu: ......

I'm super, round!

He didn't want to say anything more, and with respect for the truth of mathematics, he directly pointed out several errors in Fan's calculations.

"Professor Fan, first of all, your later inference cannot explain the previous problem of defining domain contradictions, which is the first mistake, and in addition, your application of Goldstone's theorem here is also inappropriate, and Goldstone's application needs to comply with several basic conditions...... And then there's ......"

However, Li Mu's explanation did not work.

Fan Pairen shook his head and said, "No, no, this is because you haven't been able to understand the meaning of my method. ”

Li Mu wanted to say something more, but Professor Lin Yao next to him pulled him: "Let's change positions." ”

Then he gave him a gesture with his eyes.

Li Mu was helpless, and he also knew Professor Lin Yao's intentions, so he nodded, got up and changed seats with Professor Lin.

Lin Yao and Fan Pairen smiled: "Professor Fan, you continue to think about it, I wish you early success." ”

Then he turned his head and said to Li Mu: "Now I have to teach you one thing that must be known in the mathematical world, that is, never argue with Minke." ”

Li Mu nodded in agreement.

Truly.
