Chapter 173 The top of academics, meeting at the top
No. 1 Academic Lecture Hall.
It was extremely quiet at this moment. If it was said that after Wang Donglai proved Zhou's guess before, everyone could still barely understand it.
After all, Wang Donglai has proven his mathematical talent.
However, right in front of their eyes, Wang Donglai took only forty-five minutes to prove that Zhou had guessed and found the distribution law and precise formula of Mersenne prime numbers.
Such speed and such terrifying mathematical talent still made them fall into silence.
Shocked!
Unbelievable!
Envy, jealousy and hate!
All kinds of thoughts emerged in everyone's mind. They wanted to say something, but they opened their mouths but didn't know what to say.
Are you praising Wang Donglai for his unparalleled talent in mathematics?
Or should I force a smile and congratulate Wang Donglai on his achievements against his will?
Or are you using your own shallow knowledge base to question Wang Donglai’s conclusion?
These ideas were rejected as soon as they appeared.
However, this atmosphere did not last long.
Deligne clapped again.
It's like Wang Donglai specially invited someone to set the pace at critical moments.
"Pa bang bang..."
The applause was like waves and lasted for a long time.
From the first row to the last row, like dominoes, everyone stood up and applauded Wang Donglai.
Looking up, everyone had smiles on their faces, as if they were sincerely happy for Wang Donglai.
Get excited about solving the world's puzzles.
It is an honor to witness history.
Excited to witness genius.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Wang Donglai smiled confidently, unable to hide the tiredness in his expression, and left Academic Lecture Hall No. 1.
Now he just wants to have a good meal and then take a good nap to replenish his energy.
As for the results of his proof on the whiteboard, he was not worried that anyone would have other ideas.
There were 317 people present. It was simply impossible for so many people to lie for one person.
What's more, sitting in the first row are prestigious top scholars like Deligne.
The winner of the three grand prizes, the Viscount of Belgium.
These two items alone can suppress everyone present. With him here, who would dare to cause trouble.
What's more, there are several review editors for "Yearbook of Mathematics".
The most important thing is that he did not give a proof process for the formula of Mersenne prime numbers, it is just a formula.
If someone is really stupid enough to be obsessed with his own achievements, then Wang Donglai can only make him understand what it means to be ruined.
Even if Wang Donglai has left, no one in the lecture hall wants to leave, and they are even more reluctant to leave.
The formula on the whiteboard has not yet appeared in the journal, and they are the first people to see it.
If you seize this opportunity, you might be able to get a few core articles in exchange.
With such benefits in front of them, they will naturally not miss it.
It's one thing to be jealous of Wang Donglai, but it's also true that you can't throw away the benefits you got.
Someone focused on the formula on the whiteboard, hoping to create a time difference and mix up the core of the two articles.
Some people set their sights on Wang Donglai.
Although formulas are important, people who can write them are even more important.
Han Hua and Yang Wanpeng, who were sitting in the middle of the academic lecture hall, were already stunned at this moment.
The two second-level professors are not ignorant people.
But what happened today was completely beyond what the two of them could bear.
Half an hour proved Zhou's guess!
Then, Zhou's guess was proved, and when everyone applauded, he coldly reprimanded everyone.
You know how many academic leaders are sitting in the audience. Wang Donglai's behavior is undoubtedly an act that offends people.
The two of them spent fifteen minutes with their hearts hanging high and extremely worried.
Another thunderous explosion.
He wrote the precise formula for the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers.
And he calculated three Mersenne prime numbers orally.
Looking at the three Mersenne prime numbers that have never appeared before on the whiteboard, as well as the extremely complicated mathematical formula.
All proved one thing, that is, Wang Donglai really found out the distribution law of Mersenne prime numbers and summarized the formula.
“We really witnessed history!”
"Is this the world of geniuses?"
Han Hua and Yang Wanpeng each sighed with emotion, with unconcealable loneliness in their voices.
To live in the same era as peerless geniuses is not only their luck, but also their sorrow.
Fortunately, they can appreciate the true ability and unique style of a peerless genius. Sadly, they can only look at the back of a peerless genius, becoming the goal of a lifelong pursuit but unable to see the direction.
At this moment, Hanhua and Yang Wanpeng felt very clearly that Wang Donglai was no longer in the same world as them.
The time came so quickly that they lost their sensitivity.
They should have figured this out a long time ago, but Wang Donglai's rise was too fast and too short-lived.
From a freshman to now, it has only been more than a year.
At this time, for others, being able to complete a project and complete a core journal is already a remarkable achievement.
However, this is not the case with Wang Donglai.
The two looked at each other and saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes.
……
Walking out of the academic lecture hall, Wang Donglai turned around and went to the cafeteria.
Holding a dinner plate, he unceremoniously put a variety of high-calorie foods on it.
It takes two or three bites, and there is no sign of eating at all.
There were not many diners in the cafeteria at this time, so he directly found a quiet place to enjoy his meal.
And just when he was eating just right.
An acquaintance sat down opposite him.
“Eat more of this, it is good for your brain and can greatly replenish the nutrients you consume!”
Pick up an abalone from the opposite plate and put it on Wang Donglai’s plate in.
The person who came was none other than Phoenix, looking at Wang Donglai with a smile on his face.
"Uh..."
Wang Donglai was a little uncomfortable with Phoenix's tap heat.
"I saw your performance today. In the words of you Chinese, you are simply stunningly handsome and cool."
"Half an hour proved Zhou's guess. , scolded many academic leaders in the audience, and backhandedly wrote an accurate formula for the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers. It is simply... I don’t know what words to use to describe it.”
"You know? At that moment, I even felt that you were carrying light and that you were an angel who came to save me."
"There is no doubt that your actions today made you angry!"
"When I came to find you, the whole of Princeton, even The entire Ivy League is spreading your story. "If they knew I was eating with you, they would tear my face apart with envy."
Phoenix sat. Wang Donglai said with sincere emotion on the other side.
The content of what she said made Wang Donglai smile bitterly.
After eating, Wang Donglai walked towards the hotel, wanting to go back and have a good rest.
However, Phoenix is still following him.
“I am very curious about your learning experience. I have never seen any Chinese with such special charm as you. If I hadn’t remained rational, I might have thought that you had cast magic on me. "
Phoenix glanced narrowly at Wang Donglai and said softly.
Wang Donglai shook his head. Now, if he still doesn't understand Phoenix's thoughts, then he is really stupid.
If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to refuse Phoenix.
I was in a foreign country, in an unfamiliar place, and when I was in high spirits, I met a beautiful young lady from a foreign friend and made secret glances at him.
It is estimated that not many people can control it.
Unfortunately, Wang Donglai was able to control it.
Now he just wants to rest and sleep with him in order to replenish his energy.
Not to mention the flirtatious glances from beauties, even the bikini convention couldn't cause him any commotion.
"No, magic is a backward thing from the West. We are all cultivating immortals, and we have more methods than you think!"
Wang Donglai refuted Phoenix's words righteously.
“Oh~”
After the long note, Phoenix's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of charm in the corners of his eyes.
"Really? I don't really believe it? Why don't you go to your room and show it to me?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it was really a lie. .
Wang Donglai did not expect that the level of openness here would be so open.
I was stunned for a moment, and after I came to my senses, I was ready to refuse out loud again.
However, before he could say anything, Phoenix twisted his body and his sexy figure was dazzling.
"Well, I see you are very tired. Now you are a little energetic. Have a good rest after you go back. I look forward to seeing a handsome and handsome you at the party tomorrow night, not slovenly. , you are a little sloppy.”
< br>"After all, you are the protagonist. The media and the old guys will definitely turn their attention to you, wanting to see what the young genius who can prove the world's mathematical problems looks like."
Phoenix dropped these words and turned around to leave.
Chicken and unrestrained!
Wang Donglai had this feeling in his heart.
He naturally knows about the party Phoenix said tomorrow night.
Tomorrow is the last day of this academic exchange conference. Deligne and a group of Princeton academic leaders will give academic lectures, which are extremely valuable.
As for the party at night, that is even more important.
This will be a huge stage. As long as you attend the party, you might be able to see people you have never seen before.
For example, a project that has not been promoted may turn around, or it may gain the favor of a certain laboratory and join it.
Possibilities such as this are not impossible.
And he is the star figure of this academic report conference.
You can imagine what kind of treatment you will get when the time comes.
In fact, Wang Donglai also knew that among the several mathematical problems he had proved, only Hodge's guesses had the greatest value.
This can be known from the reaction of mathematicians around the world after it was revealed that his graduation thesis proved Hodge's conjecture.
Scholars and professors from all over the world participated in a student's graduation thesis defense.
If it weren’t for a huge reason, this would not be possible at all.
There are tens of thousands of mathematical problems all over the world.
Among so many mathematical problems, there is naturally a sort of order.
Of course, there is no constant standard among academics to evaluate its value or its difficulty.
But after so many years, a tacit standard has been formed.
Aside from a series of external factors such as political significance and economic significance, the academic value of mathematical guessing is divided into several levels.
The first-level mathematical guesses, once proven, can not only promote the progress of mathematics, but also promote the progress of other disciplines, producing far-reaching and significant impacts.
Mathematical guesswork at this level is as important as the cornerstone of a building.
The stronger the foundation, the taller the building will naturally be.
Riemann Hypothesis, NP-complete problem, Poincaré Hypothesis, Yang Mills theory, Navier-Stokoe equation, BSD conjecture, etc., and these conjectures are relatively famous and have also been defeated At the time of the millennium, the Ray Institute listed the seven major problems of the millennium and offered a reward of one million US dollars.
As long as you can prove it, you will receive a $1 million reward from the Clay Institute.
There is no love without reason in the world, and naturally there are no benefits given without reason.
The Clay Institute is able to offer a reward of one million dollars, not just because they are generous and willing to sponsor academics.
The reason for doing this is not only to gain fame, but also because after these seven difficult problems are proved, the benefits they can obtain are greater than one million US dollars.
It would be really stupid to think that they are glorious, selfless international good people just because they are willing to offer a reward of one million US dollars.
The second level of mathematical puzzles is slightly weaker in influence.
It may have great achievements in promoting the progress of disciplines, but it is not as good as the first grade in promoting the progress of other disciplines.
Third gear, fourth gear, fifth gear...
There is no obvious division between these things, they just appear vaguely in everyone's mind.
Just a very simple value comparison.
He first proved the ABC guess and became famous both at home and abroad.
When Hodge's conjecture was proven, it shocked China and abroad, attracting thousands of scholars and professors to come to China to listen to a freshman thesis defense of his.
This is the gap.
It is also a reflection of the value gap between the two mathematical puzzles.
At the moment, the Zhou conjecture he proved is not of great value in the entire field of mathematical conjecture.
It’s almost the third gear.
Including Mersenne primes, this is actually the case.
The only difference is that it may take others several years or even ten years or decades to prove a mathematical problem.
It only took Wang Donglai less than an hour.
This dramatic time gap makes this event eye-catching and attracts attention.
At the same time, his talent is even more shocking.
Wang Donglai knows all this very well, and he also knows deeply that there is still a long way to go before he can truly win the crown of mathematics.
A strong person does not follow the path of others to achieve glory, but opens his own path and flowers bloom along the way.
Just like Grothendieck who is still alive today, and Master Yang of China.
There is no need to study others and prove other people's guesses.
On the contrary, others are going to study him and study his results. If he publishes an important paper, his achievements may not be much worse than proving mathematical guesses.
This is the real academic master, the person who truly stands at the top of academics.
Currently, Wang Donglai is still far away from such a top academic figure.
At the same time, this is also the motivation for his struggle.
I don’t have the face to ask for support. If updates cannot be resumed tomorrow, I will send out red envelopes to all the big guys who are chasing updates to apologize! ! !
