Chapter 312 The hanging heart finally died
On December 31st, it was still Christmas vacation. At 4 pm local time, Professor Stewart was having afternoon tea with his friend Sekel Holmes at the farm. .
While enjoying the warm winter sun, Sekel asked with a smile: "You actually have time to come to my place for tea. Is there any news from Xia Kingdom?"
Stewart shook his head.
"Xu Qingzhou, that's the name, he's a very powerful young man. Gerrit Boyle from Princeton is very optimistic about him and he was full of praises when we met last time."
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Professor Stewart shrugged and smiled lightly. Although he was a little panicked, his pride did not allow him to show his timidity in front of outsiders.
Until the end, the outcome is still uncertain.
From the time Xu Qingzhou announced the proof of Polignac’s conjecture to now, his team is still advancing calculations in an orderly manner.
He was taking time off from his busy schedule just to give the management confidence and prove that the team had not given up.
Ding~
The phone rang, it was his student Dennis.
Looking at the caller number, Professor Stewart had an inexplicable bad feeling. Maybe he was here to tell me that Xu Qingzhou failed to prove it.
He comforted himself like this and answered the phone.
"Professor, I just saw some bad news"
Upon hearing these words, Professor Stewart's heart sank.
“Well, I understand, um.”
Secel found that after answering the phone, his old friend seemed to have aged more than ten years instantly.
He vaguely guessed what the news was.
Soon, Professor Stewart hung up the phone and sat blankly in his chair.
Sekel didn't bother him.
The two of them sat quietly like this. In the distance, a cold wind blew, rolling up the few dead leaves that were still hanging on the bare branches and slowly falling to the ground.
"Seckel, I think I need to take a rest." Professor Stewart stood up.
The most painful thing is for someone to be ambitious and get a slap on the head.
Seeing that his old friend suddenly lost his energy, Sekel comforted: "Hey, old man, I still want to say that your research is not worthless."
"Everyone can remember the first person to climb Mount Everest. As for the second one, who cares." Professor Stewart forced a forced smile on his face.
Secel moved his mouth, looking at the back of his old friend leaving, he could only sigh helplessly. He wanted to say: "In 1956, the Swiss mountaineering team headed by Albert Eggler The team climbed Mount Everest for the second time in human history.”
But as an old friend, he knew better that Stewart was a consequentialist.
Especially, this time they were defeated by the Xia Kingdom, which Stewart himself despised.
Sekel shook his head and sipped his coffee. Xu Qingzhou, yes, he is a very interesting young man.
On the 31st, at 12 o’clock in the morning Kyoto time, the official website of Kyoto University released an announcement: Good news! Another major breakthrough in the field of mathematics, Xu Qingzhou successfully proved the Polignac conjecture!
For those who pay attention to number theory, this can be said to be shocking news.
Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Imperial College, India.
Eight people sat around the conference room, led by Professor Yagir, the leader of the research team.
Until they saw the news from Xia Kingdom and the official website of "Mathematical Invention" half an hour ago, they, like Professor Stewart, had finally died of mental arithmetic.
The conference room was duller than a dozen days ago.
Previously, everyone still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, praying that this was just an error, and praying that they could hear the news that Xu Qingzhou had failed to prove it. However.
If he was to be executed last time, then this time he was directly executed.
Professor Yagier said: "I regret to tell you that our Polignac conjecture plan has been suspended."
Everyone's expressions were a little depressed.
A complete defeat.
The Indian guy who had a relationship with Xu Qingzhou was also melancholy, even a little desperate.
Xu Qingzhou announced the proof of the twin prime conjecture in April. It has only been 8 months since he solved a problem that has troubled the mathematics community for more than a hundred years. Geniuses are indeed unreasonable.
It is hard to imagine how a 19-year-old who invested so much energy in physics would have time to solve the Polignac conjecture.
Could this guy be an alien?
What he didn't know was that Xu Qingzhou really didn't expend much energy on physics. There was no way, Xu Guabi used to do physics.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Professor Yagir knocked on the table and said: "Okay, everyone, we don't have time to be sad. The most important thing next is to sort out the unpublished papers, which must be better than others. The research team released it first.”
In addition to his team, Xu Qingzhou and Professor Stewart are studying the Polignac conjecture, as far as he knows, there are people in Cambridge, Princeton, etc. trying to win this crown. People may not be able to keep up with their progress, but they will definitely achieve results.
Now that the conjecture has been proven, there is no need for major research groups to hide it. The most important thing is to rush to publish papers and release results before other research groups.
After all, there will always be overlapping studies.
Once the other party takes the lead, yours will really be a piece of waste paper.
Yandong Garden.
When Xu Qingzhou received the news, he was sitting on the sofa playing games with the school beauty Song. This year's New Year's Eve, there were only two of them, Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui were dating alone.
On the phone, Chu Jiangfeng’s voice was a little excited and said: “Xiao Xu, you succeeded!”
"That's good."
"Are you tired of waiting during this time?" Chu Jiangfeng asked with a smile.
Xu Qingzhou was startled, recalling how he had eaten and drank every day from the 21st to now. Then he looked at the cross-legged school beauty Song next to him with a stinky face, and said against his will: "I'm a little anxious."
We still have to cooperate with the old professor Everyone, they have worked hard to verify it for so many days
"At present, the school plans to hold a report meeting between the 10th and the 20th. You can determine the specific time. After all, preparing the report also takes time."< br>
Chu Jiangfeng continued.
Xu Qingzhou thought for a while, "Let's go to No. 10."
I'll finish this matter as soon as possible, and then I want to concentrate on harmonic analysis and other content. I have been studying number theory for more than a year. It's time for a change of taste.
“You will prepare your report carefully during the next period of time. You don’t have to worry about the report meeting.”
“Thank you, Professor.”
"Okay, have a good rest."
"Goodbye, Professor."
When Xu Qingzhou came out after making the call, the game was over without a big dad like him.
"You lose now?"
"It's all your fault!" Song Yao said bitterly.
The reason why she was so sullen was entirely because of Xu Qingzhou, her support player. She originally chose Cai Wenji, but when she came back, she found that Xu Qingzhou had replaced her with the ugly Bull Demon.
For this reason, he gave the man with a weak hand a good beating.
Xu Qingzhou didn't refute, it was quite amazing to watch a Song school beauty controlling the bull demon.
Two people started the second game.
At 3 o'clock, Xu Qingzhou received another email from the editorial office of "Mathematical Invention", which basically thanked Xu Qingzhou again for his trust in the journal and stated that it would be published in early January.
I originally planned to take a good rest, but dozens of emails appeared on my computer.
Professor Maynard, Fields Medal winner Gerrit Boyle.
They were all congratulatory emails, and at the end they also invited Xu Qingzhou to give a report.
There are also more direct ones. For example, Abby Baker, the leader of the American group who contacted at the LHC, said directly in the email that as long as Xu Qingzhou is willing to go out, "any request can be met."
They were all acquaintances, so Xu Qingzhou could only stop messing around, sit down in front of the computer again, and reply to emails one by one to express his gratitude to these big guys in the mathematics world, while politely declining everyone's invitation to him.
