Chapter 205: Domestic Attention

[Wang Defa? What do I see? Gerd Faltings and Peter Schultz actually posted together?! Wait a minute! Goldbach's conjecture? Generous gift crab special! 】

【终于有大佬评价李牧的证明了,前马普学会数学研究所所长和现任马普学会数学研究所所长的认可…… Oh my God, Li Mu is probably going to succeed again! 】

[I can't read it, I can't understand it at all, an ordinary MIT mathematics doctoral student like me can only wait for the bigwigs to draw conclusions. 】

【Are you a Ph.D. student?】 Li Mu is only a doctoral student now! 】

[Don't mention it, I just want to know when Li Mu will graduate now? ] I feel that the PhD student he is working on now is telling us all the time that these PhD students are like rubbish. 】

[It's hard not to recognize.] 】

[It's hard not to support.] 】

[So, please Li Mu graduate quickly! ] 】

……

Of course, among the comments on eating melons, there are also many bigwigs.

For example, Tao Zhexuan, who is very keen on surfing the Internet, replied: [I didn't expect the two of you to send it first, I also wanted to evaluate it on my personal website, I also read Li Mu's paper in the past few days, and I didn't find any problems for the time being, his proof process is as rigorous and detailed as ever, very exciting. 】

In addition, Deligne, who rarely makes remarks on the Internet, also appeared in this post: [I have also read the paper, it is indeed very good, I can't find any problems, maybe Goldbach's conjecture is really going to become a theorem, just like the Koracz-Lee theorem, and the twin prime number theorem...... Hmm, Goldbach-Lee theorem? Li Muke is really a mathematical conjecture crusher. 】

而德利涅的评论下面,安德鲁·怀尔斯还回复了一个:【哈哈哈哈哈,我证明了费马大定理,我的学生证明了考拉茨猜猜,孪生素数猜想,现在哥德巴赫猜想也快了,数论的问题要被我们打通关了。 】

Deligne immediately said: [Let your old guy pick up the cheap! 】

Wiles: [Can this be called a bargain?] This is called fate. 】

The two words fate are typed out in Chinese.

Deligne: [Oh my God, don't send me Chinese, I studied Chinese some time ago, but it tortured me!] 】

……

Bigwigs from all walks of life have appeared in this post, and there are more than a dozen Fields Medal winners alone, which is called a gathering of heroes.

Even Qiu Chengtong replied in the comments before: [I'm watching Li Mu receive the Ramanujan Award here at ICTP now, I'll ask him later, picture (Li Mu receives the award .jpg)]

So, under his comment, he also received replies from various netizens.

【oh! 邱教授! Be sure to ask Lee what he thinks of his proof! Does he think his proof is a success? 】

[Lee will definitely be very confident that he has proved successful, and he has never failed!] 】

[It's actually on the spot!] Lee actually won the Ramanujan Award? Oh well, it's no surprise that he won any awards. 】

……

The number of replies to this post continued to rise, and finally exceeded 1,000.

You know, the number of replies to posts in mathoverflow is generally not too much, after all, this forum is too professional, and it's good to have a hundred.

But this is also normal, after all, the attraction of Goldbach's conjecture is unparalleled.

Of course, the relevant news also quickly spread back to China.

Whether it is Li Mu winning the Dirac Medal and the Ramanujan Award, or the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, it has set off a heated discussion in China.

On Weibo, several related topics have rushed to the top ten of the hot search list, [Li Mu won two internationally renowned awards in a row], [Li Mu proves Goldbach's conjecture].

In addition, even Li Mu's speech when receiving the Ramanujan Award was also on the hot search, [Li Mu talks about the greatness of compulsory education].

After all, this is also a matter related to politics, no matter how much Weibo is clipped, this kind of thing has to be sent to the hot search.

Then, domestic netizens suddenly boiled.

【it!】 Dirac Medal! The highest honor in the field of physical physics, awesome, my god! How can a person hang like this?! 】

[Li Mu: Small meaning, small meaning, low-key and low-key, sprinkle water]

[What is the Dirac Medal?] The Nobel Prize in Physics is what the Faun deserves! The Dirac medals all belong to little Karami. 】

[I'm laughing to death, I heard that the Dirac Medal is not awarded to Nobel Prize, Wolf Medal, and Fields Medal winners, I think in the current situation, good guy, maybe the Faun will give you all in a few years! 】

[It's not me saying, don't pay attention to the Dirac Prize, pay attention to the Goldbach conjecture, okay?] I'll you, Goldbach guesses! Do you understand? 】

[Huh? Did the Faun also prove Goldbach's conjecture? I thought there were only Dirac and Ramanujan Awards! 】

For a while, those netizens who didn't look at the hot search list and only saw Li Mu winning two awards immediately returned to the hot search list, and sure enough, they found another hot search about Li Mu's proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

As a result, these netizens poured into this hot search again and discussed excitedly.

To a certain extent, before Li Mu proved the twin prime conjecture and the hail conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture can be said to be the most well-known in China, much higher than the first two.

Even now, there are still many old people who still don't know what the twin prime conjecture and hail conjecture are, but they do understand what the Goldbach conjecture is.

Because in that era of scarcity, the Chinese people were in a confused era, the famous mathematician Chen Jingrun stood up and greatly improved the progress of Goldbach's conjecture on behalf of the Chinese people, proving the establishment of the 1+2 form.

At that time, this incident appeared in various newspapers, and Xu Chi, a well-known poet, essayist, and critic, wrote a reportage "Goldbach Conjecture" for this purpose, which was published in the "People's Literature" at that time.

Therefore, many of the old people who came from that era understood what Goldbach's conjecture was, after all, this incident also brought pride to many Chinese people.

And now, their young people have inherited the glory of the original and completed the baton, solving this problem?

All of a sudden, many elderly people were excited about it.

Shangjing, in a certain courtyard.

An old man who looked to be in his 90s looked at the newspaper in his hand.

"Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect to see this problem solved in my lifetime! It's so well done! ”

A young man sitting next to him looked at him curiously: "Grandpa, what did you say?" ”

"Come and see the news." The old man laughed and handed the newspaper to the young man.

The young man looked at it, and then laughed: "Oh! That's it! Now it's everywhere on the Internet, this Li Mu is really worthy of a shepherd. ”

"Huh? 你也知道这个叫李牧的年轻人? ”

The old man couldn't help asking.

He had heard of Li Mu's name before, but because he didn't have much access to the Internet, he didn't know much.

He had also seen the news that Li Mu had proved several other conjectures, but compared to the Goldbach conjecture, he didn't know anything about the other conjectures, so he didn't particularly care about it.

He is so excited now, mainly because he is deeply impressed by Xu Chi's reportage more than 40 years ago, which makes him have a deep understanding of Goldbach's conjecture.

He knew how difficult it was to prove this conjecture, and he felt great admiration for Chen Jingrun at that time.

Even in the end, he became good friends with Chen Jingrun.

He was of course excited to see that a problem that his good friend had been unable to solve all his life's work had been solved in the hands of a young man in their country.

The young man saw that his grandfather was very interested in this matter, and then he told it in detail.

"This Li Mu, to be honest, he is also the idol of many people in our country......"

听着自己曾孙的讲述,老人逐渐认识到了这个叫李牧的年轻人,有多么的出色,对他们华国有多大的意义,尤其是他的曾孙子还专门给他说了李牧在领取拉马努金奖时候所发表的感言。

"Well said!"

The old man couldn't help but praise again, "This Li Mu is very good, very good." ”

The young man smiled on his face.

His idol is recognized by his elders, and of course he will be happy as a junior.

But soon he couldn't be happy, the old man's expression was serious, and then he admonished: "You kid should learn more from others, don't be idle all day long, just like living in a dream, now give me homework." ”

The young man's expression suddenly fell, and he reluctantly said, "I know, I know." ”

Then he had to go back to his room and start studying.

The old man thought for a moment, then took out a mobile phone and started calling.

……

In the office of the big guy who once awarded Li Mu the first prize of the National Natural Science Award.

The big guy heard his personal phone ringing, and after glancing at the caller number, he was stunned, and then he connected the phone and said respectfully: "Elder Fang, do you have any instructions?" ”

"Haha, I can't talk about instructions, but I just saw that the young man named Li Mu on the news did a very, very good job, I think a young man like this should be strongly supported."

The big guy was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said: "This kind of thing, Old Fang, you can rest assured, such a young man is a pillar, and the country will never give up its support for this kind of talent." ”

"Okay, okay, that's good, I'm relieved, this Goldbach conjecture has been proven, if Lao Chen knows about it, he will probably be happy."

"Of course, Old Chen will definitely be happy."

“好,看来这个电话,倒是也没必要打啊,那我就不打扰你的工作了。 ”

Without further ado, the phone hung up.

这位大佬无奈地笑了笑,“没想到方老居然也关心起了这种事情。 ”

The assistant next to him smiled and said, "After all, Elder Fang was also in charge of education at the beginning, and it is normal to care. ”

The big guy nodded, then thought about it, and said: "No matter what, Li Mu did a really good job this time, find a time, I'll talk to him on the phone." ”

The assistant's face showed surprise, but he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." ”

……

Trieste, Italy.

In the hotel room where Li Mu stayed.

In the past few days, he can be regarded as a busy man.

All kinds of focus events are focused on him, and he has also attracted thousands of attention.

Of course, the ICTP conference is also completely over.

The main purpose of this conference is to present awards, but there are not many academic reports, at most they are some exchange meetings, so it only lasted for two days and ended.

"The ticket has been booked, the flight at four o'clock this afternoon, have you packed your luggage? We're ready to go in three hours. ”

Wiles appeared at the door at this time, knocked on the door, and said to Li Mu.

"Cleaning up."

Li Mu pointed to the suitcase in his hand and said with a smile.

"That'll do." Wiles smiled and nodded.

"When you go back in the evening, our academy has also arranged a special party for you to celebrate your two awards."

"Ah......h

Li Mu was stunned, but he didn't expect that there was still a party waiting for him.

"Hahaha, just enjoy it then, you're the protagonist."

Wiles smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then said no more and left.

Li Mu shook his head, okay.

A party is a party, just like the locals.

After all, there are so many parties here.

He then proceeded to pack his suitcase, but after a while, his phone rang.

He picked up his mobile phone and took a look, and the caller number was actually from China.

Could it be that what media brought it?

He thought to himself, and then answered the phone as well.

"Hello? Who is it? ”

"Li Mu, it's me."

Li Mu was stunned, if it was this voice......

He was amazed.

"You...... Why did you call me? ”

"Haha, it's not that I heard about what you have done, I am very happy, so I feel very necessary to talk to you on the phone."

"Your speech on our compulsory education is very good, and I am glad that you can introduce our policies to foreign countries and show our demeanor."

"There are a lot of old-timers in our country who are also very concerned about you."

Listening to the kind words on the other end of the phone, Li Mu said with a smile: "This is what I should do." ”

"Haha, and the Goldbach conjecture you recently proved, it is also very meaningful to our country, the old comrade Chen Jingrun, because of this conjecture, won a lot of glory for our country, but unfortunately, Chen Lao did not complete the proof back then, and now you can complete the final relay, which is a great thing."

Li Mu said modestly: "I only solved this problem out of interest in studying mathematical problems - in addition, the final proof still needs to be recognized by the entire mathematical community, so for now, my thesis is still not a real completed proof." ”

"Oh? 你和外人说的时候,可是自信满满地说你相信这个问题已经在你的手中得到了解决,怎么和咱自己人说,就谦虚起来了? ”

There was a joke on the other end of the phone.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Okay, I admit it, I believe I have proven it." ”

"That's right!" The laughter reined in, "No matter what, you have done a good job in this matter, and you have won a lot of glory for us, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the country and the people." ”

Li Mu: "It's my honor. ”

"Well, well, everything that needs to be said has been said, then I wish the scientific community recognition of your achievements in advance."

"Finally, I would like to tell you that the country misses you very much, remember to go home often."

"I know."

As the phone ended, Li Mu looked at the mobile phone in his hand and exhaled with emotion.

Shaking his head, he continued to pack his bags.
