The applause sounded like a tide, enduring, as if wave after wave, and also pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Mathematicians have all kinds of romance in their hearts, and solving the mathematical conjectures left by the past is one of them.

It's like a spirit of inheritance.

The problems that were once solved by the famous people in history are now solved in their hands, so just thinking about it makes their generation of mathematicians proud.

After all, if it can't be solved, give them the feeling that a hundred or even hundreds of years ago, the person who asked the question seemed to be laughing at them.

Therefore, at this moment, they are all happy for Li Mu.

Andrew Wiles was the first to stand up and give Li Mu a round of applause.

And Faltins and Deligne also got up and gave applause to Li Mu on the stage, and even Faltins, who had always been very serious, smiled.

Drigne stood beside Wiles, and after applauding for a while, he felt that something was wrong, so he said to Wiles next to him, "Huh? Why don't you keep showing off? ”

Wiles shook his head, his face light: "There's no need, my students don't need to show off." ”

Deligne's expression suddenly showed that I believe you are strange.

Of course, in Wiles's mind, there is more of a sense of immediacy about this scene, just like his report back then.

This report, which lasted more than two hours, was not too long behind his report, although it was a failure.

However, what made him feel more was that, similar to Goldbach's conjecture, or even a little older, the proof of Fermat's theorem was officially solved more than 300 years later.

Fermat was the last problem of Fermat that was raised around 1637 and was not officially resolved by him until 1995, after nearly 360 years.

The Goldbach conjecture, on the other hand, was put forward in 1742 and lasted until this year, for a total of 280 years.

The two of them, teachers and students, have solved two problems with the longest span in the mathematical world.

Look, how fate does Li Mu have with him?

That's fate!

Looking at Li Mu, who was enjoying the applause on the stage, it also reminded him of himself back then.

The only difference is that Li Mu's proof is complete and detailed enough, and it is also explained very clearly in this report.

Compared with his testimony back then, there are very few doubts, and it can even be said that there are none.

So, this problem has probably been solved once and for all.

……

After four climaxes, the applause finally died down, and the people who stood up to applaud sat back down.

Li Mu pressed his hand, suppressed the last scattered applause, and then smiled: "Of course, although I think I have completed the proof, this problem is not completely over until all the doubts in the mathematical community are over, so if you have any questions now, you can also ask questions." ”

As his question was asked, there was silence.

No one raised their hand to ask questions.

"Doesn't anyone have a problem?"

Li Mu asked again, until a moment later, in a position in the back row, a hand was finally raised.

Everyone couldn't help but look at it, and then they were all stunned.

It was a girl, who looked young, maybe in her undergraduate class.

The bigwigs have no problem, such a young girl actually sees the problem?

Li Mu didn't care, and asked with a smile, "Please ask questions." ”

The staff at the scene quickly handed the microphone over, and after the girl took the microphone, she stood up cautiously, and then opened the paper in her hand and said: "Hello Li, I am an undergraduate student from Trinity College, Cambridge, and I would like to ask why it is said that CoP C(n) has a different real axis in "Self-consistent Properties of Elliptic Curves under K-Mode", page 23, part 2.2? ”

Hearing this question, the audience was stunned, and then bursts of chuckles rang out.

It seems that the young student did not know the point of asking questions at this time.

Normally, at this time, the questions raised are directed at the contradictions or errors in the speaker's proof.

And the question asked by this young girl is just something she doesn't understand.

It almost made people misunderstand just now, and I thought she had discovered the error in Li Mu's proof.

Of course, no one blamed the girl, and even to some extent, her question made this somewhat tense moment easier.

李牧也露出了笑意。

When the girl was a little overwhelmed by the laughter around her, he spoke: "Your question is very good, at least in what I just testified, you listened carefully. ”

Subsequently, he did not turn the paper in his hand to page 23, looked at the specific content of the question, and gave a direct answer: "Here, you need to note that a typical CoP does not need a center, and in the absence of a center, we say that the circle has a center that is removed. ”

"Whereas CoP C(n) contains points with positive integers with weights from 1 to n-1, including ......"

Li Mu turned around and began to write on the blackboard: [C(n)={[x]| x∈ N, x < n}......].

After a while, he turned back to the girl and said, "So we say that CoP C(n) has a different real axis, so do I understand that?" ”

The girl forgot what she was at a loss just now, and after thinking for a moment, she showed a happy expression and said gratefully: "Thank you!" I understand. ”

"Okay."

Li Mu nodded with a smile, then he looked at the time and said, "Then you can ask any questions in the next 10 minutes, no matter what the problem is." ”

The implication of this is that as long as you don't understand the process of his proof, you can now ask questions.

Suddenly, a pair of hands were raised below.

There were too many people who didn't understand the paper, or didn't understand the report, accounting for more than 95 percent of the audience.

So, of course, they have a lot of problems.

And now that they can ask these questions directly to the prover, they are naturally reluctant to give up.

In this way, Li Mu randomly called people to answer their questions, and the people who asked questions were not only students, but even professors from famous schools, like a mathematics professor from Cambridge, who also raised his hand and was pointed up by Li Mu.

当然，作为一名教授，仍然能够做到不懂就问也是一件好事情，所以没有谁会笑话这位教授。

And as one question after another passed, the people below also discovered that Li Mu seemed to never look at the original text of the paper when answering these simple questions, as long as he heard the question, he could give an answer.

Deligne couldn't help but exclaim: "A total of more than 150 pages of papers, he actually remembered it so clearly." ”

"Maybe that's genius." Wiles smiled, "So he's able to master so many squares." ”

Deligne smiled wryly and shook his head.

Talented?

Who isn't.

It's just that there is a gap in genius......

In this way, until the last minute passed, Li Mu finally announced: "Okay, 10 minutes have arrived, let's end the questioning." ”

"If you have any other questions, you can email me when you get back."

"So, today's report ......"

Before Li Mu finished speaking, he saw Dean Martin Taylor actually raise his hand.

He couldn't help but be stunned.

What's wrong with Dean Taylor?

But he still said, "Dean Taylor, what's your problem?" ”

Martin Taylor smiled and pointed to the champagne next to the podium and said, "Have you forgotten this?" ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and glanced down.

The bottle of champagne sat there quietly the whole time, from the beginning to the end of the report.

And as Martin Taylor's voice came out, the audience immediately became agitated.

I didn't expect to watch a report, and I could still see the champagne opening session, and for a while, these audiences began to coax.

In the first row of seats, these most basic mathematicians, who were winners of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, also had smiles on their faces.

Strictly speaking, if you open it now, it can be regarded as a kind of half-time champagne opening.

After all, it will take some time to thoroughly verify Goldbach's conjecture.

It's just that......

"Open it!"

Faltins was the first to speak.

"Open it!"

Deligne shouted as well.

Subsequently, Wiles and the others also said to Li Mu: "Open it!" ”

The words of these mathematicians all expressed their affirmation of Li Mu's proof.

To some extent, this row of people represents half of the mathematical community.

In the face of such a situation, what else can Li Mu say?

Smiled and picked up the bottle of champagne, then unwrapped the tin foil and wine ring, and shook the bottle up and down.

Until the end -

"Poof!"

“ohhhhh……”

The entire venue was filled with cheers.

And this report meeting is completely over!

The Opening of Champagne, the End of the Century Conjecture

……

Many world-renowned news media have been overwhelmingly promoting this news, not only in the mathematical community, but also in the general public.

一时之间，整个欧洲地区的社交平台热搜榜上都被这个新闻所覆盖，而哪怕是美国那边，从来都被各种超级碗、NBA或者是明星之类的新闻占据的推特趋势榜前列，也被这个新闻给挤出了一个位置。

Of course, not to mention the domestic country, which can almost be called crazy.

各种热搜榜都被这件事情所霸榜！

Even many academic journals have taken advantage of the heat and are publishing critical articles on this matter, such as Science and Nature, which almost never publish articles related to pure mathematics, and have also cited this matter under their research highlights columns.

In the past few days, this matter has been the well-deserved focus.

And Li Mu is a well-deserved top streamer!
