138. Chapter 137 This reporter is so bad


Chapter 137 This reporter is so bad...

Qiao Yu was busy on WeChat, and unknowingly, more and more people cared about him.

Senior Brother Yuan, Lao Xue, Senior Brother Chen, several professors from Yanbei and Huaqing University who have added WeChat, and his friend group...

Everyone has seen him in the news , and then congratulated him in their own ways.

For example, friend groups mainly rely on acid...

Xia Keke also sent him clips from the news, and Qiao Yu watched them from beginning to end. I have to say that when the central media praises people, they are actually very professional. He did not emphasize the professional aspects of what he said, but simply mentioned the names of the big guys in the audience who were listening to his report...

A bunch of big guys from the Philippine Awards were sitting below. The feeling came up immediately.

At least those who know what the Fields Medal represents should be able to find that feeling.

So Qiao Yu forwarded this video to his Weibo account as a matter of course.

Now Xu Shu no longer reminds him, but Qiao Yu doesn't mind publicizing himself for such a shameless thing.

This is how I gradually built up my character that I am awesome despite my shortcomings.

The main reason is that fewer and fewer people watch the seven o'clock news now, otherwise there would be no need to bother.

After posting, Qiao Yu waited on Weibo for a few minutes as usual.

This is an opportunity to observe whether there are more red fans or unfavorable fans following your account.

Qiao Yu likes anti-fans, especially those who are capable enough to do so. Because this kind of person's disapproval can really become the driving force for him to move forward.

Just like Yu Wei, who had always wanted to compete with him, when he was slacking off, just thinking that there was a rich second generation chasing after him would make Qiao Yu feel full of motivation. It's a pity that this second-generation rich man, like his name, didn't last long, and he threw himself into the army before he even had time to put on his bayonet...

It's not interesting.

I originally thought that Yu Wei could become his lifelong enemy... Actually speaking, Yu Wei is more suitable for studying mathematics than him. His family is well-off, he has no worries in life, and he has an older brother who can inherit the family. Industry means you can live your life for your interests.

It is simply the holy body of innate mathematical research. The only pity is that I am already sixteen years old and I still can't read some simple papers, which directly destroys my self-confidence.

Qiao Yu sighed in his heart.

He even seriously considered Gong Jiatao's last assumption in his friend group.

When they graduate, they should be able to become professors, but I don’t know if they are qualified to accept graduate students. Of course, Qiao Yu had no interest in taking in three big men, and even found it quite embarrassing.

But if Qiao Xi can really catch up with undergraduate courses in mathematics in the future...

Being a tutor for her mother, well... it seems possible.

In the future, if the two of them disagree at home, he can call Qiao Xi to the office and take out his homework or papers to criticize. Just thinking about it makes him feel that life has become fair and perfect.

Sure enough, after the screen recording of the Seven O'Clock News was uploaded on Weibo, a bunch of people who probably never watch the Seven O'Clock News suddenly exploded.

“Isn’t it fake? Let me tell you something, I haven’t heard of any competition big shot going directly to an academic conference before, right? What? Now the Olympiad questions are directly related to the Millennium Problem?”

“Holy crap! Geometric Langlands Conjecture? Sixteen What a big guy!”

“The big boss from the Philippines? Qiao Yu? Isn’t this really a genius?”

I’m very partial to subjects, so I need to take up my Chinese studies!”

"It's true, it's true. I just went to the official website of the Central Media to watch the replay. Brothers, it's not dark here anymore, the wind is blowing!"

......

Qiao Yu brushed it casually After a few comments, I closed Weibo.

Mainly because it’s not interesting.

There are not many constructive opinions.

Of course, this is mainly because this meeting was a bit high-end. People who don't know how to do it don't know how awesome it is to give an opening report at such a meeting, and people who know how to do it don't know from what angle.

Although Qiao Yu's teacher is Tian Yanzhen, and his relationship with Yuan Zhengxin is obviously unusual, both of them are big-shot figures among academicians who can really speak useful words. But neither Tian Yanzhen nor Yuan Zhengxin served on the organizing committee of this conference.

Not to mention that the influence of these two people is mainly in China.

On the front row of the 7 o'clock news alone, there were five Philippine Awards big shots.

There are also figures like Peter Schultz who are known as Western mathematical geniuses. Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin cannot attract so many people to support them just because of their reputation.

Not to mention that anyone who has understood the Langlands Program knows how abstract this thing is. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary mathematicians would not choose this direction rashly.

Robert Langlands himself goes without saying.

Pierre Delini studied part of the Langlands program, which proved part of the Weill conjecture and won the Fields Medal. He happened to be the one who sat in the audience and listened to Qiao Yu's report. One of the big guys.

Laurent Laforgue won the Fields Medal for his contribution to the Langlands correspondence, especially the Langlands high-dimensional correspondence.

Richard Thaler, whose research in the field of modular forms and Galois representation is well-known to all, is also one of the big names in mathematics. He once worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and then went to Stanford University.

There are some such mathematicians, such as Peter Schulz, Edward Frenkel, Michael Haas, Dennis... Most of the mathematicians who study this stuff are now the most cutting-edge leaders in mathematics.

This research direction is meant to challenge the pinnacle of human intelligence.

Many mathematicians are banking on breakthroughs in this area of ​​research to solve many unresolved mathematical problems, such as the famous Riemann Hypothesis.

Again, research that provides new ideas, frameworks and tools for basic mathematical research has always been the most difficult.

This means that creating tools is far more difficult than using them.

The theorems proved by these math masters can be directly used by latecomers. Instead of proving those cumbersome processes again.

So the first batch of fans who paid attention to Qiao Yu probably couldn't find anything to discredit Qiao Yu.

After all, mathematics is about a basic method. You can do it if you want to be hacky, but you must first understand it.

If you don’t understand shit, go ahead and criticize it...it will easily lead to ridicule.

This leads to the extremely high threshold for wanting to hack a certain mathematician in terms of professional knowledge. Unless it's an internal quarrel, it's really difficult.

Of course, this is also the reason why it is difficult for mathematics to resonate among the public.

However, after Qiao Yu closed Weibo, the news about his appearance on the 7 o'clock news quickly became a hot search topic.

Because this actually has nothing to do with mathematics, only the four words "young genius".

There have been cases in the past when young geniuses were certified by state media, but after all, most of them were through online platforms. This time is different. It is Seven O'clock News, the most serious news program in China.

Every piece of news broadcast by the host must be reviewed at all levels, and any error will be classified as a broadcast accident.

The sixteen-year-old young genius has always been very topical.

But Qiao Yu had no time to pay attention to this at this time, because Tian Yan really made a phone call.

“Are you still in the room?”

“Yes, Director Tian.”

“The reporter from China News Agency in Paris wants to interview you tonight. I’ll help you agree. About half an hour, how about starting at nine o’clock in the evening?”

"Oh, but I don't know what to say."

"It's okay, the reporters at the news agency are still professional, and I also told reporter Zhang that this is a pure text interview. I will Next to you, it doesn’t matter if you say something wrong.”

“That’s fine, but it couldn’t have been earlier.”

“You forgot. There is a dinner in the restaurant on the fifth floor tonight, which officially starts at six o'clock. This is the most important dinner for this conference, especially if you are the opening speaker. Many people will leave after tonight. Talking to more mathematicians and hearing their views on the development of cutting-edge mathematics will be helpful for your future.”

“I understand.”

"Also, don't be fooled. In mathematics, there are always some people who will come up with some very novel ideas, but you must also remember that ideas that have not been demonstrated are often of little value. Anyone invites you to do it For some research projects, you have to ask me first.

It’s not that you’re wasting your time, it’s that you’re afraid that someone will use your reputation to endorse those unrealistic ideas! Even if it’s not just project cooperation, don’t make a firm commitment to anyone who asks you to.”

"Here you go Don't worry, Director Tian. You have forgotten that Professor Frank wanted to invite me to his research group this morning, but I was very careful in this regard. Let's put it this way, before I have learned the basics of mathematics. , except for the topics you and Mr. Yuan assigned me, who am I? I don’t believe it either.”

“That’s right! If someone invites you to participate in any card game, remember to refuse it.”

”What about the card game at the banquet? Cards? Landlords?" Qiao Yu felt it was an eye-opener.

"Bridge. Some mathematicians are addicted to cards. They will use all occasions to develop and expand their card friends. Of course, including at such banquets."

"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​I am happy with any bet. I’m not interested, and I don’t know how to play bridge.”

“With your intelligence, you can learn the rules of bridge in one or two games. , the test is probability, combination and strategy. But it’s best not to play with them. And don’t drink alcohol. Strictly speaking, drinking here is illegal at your age.”
< br>“…”

“Also, you must not leave the hotel unless you are with me.”

"..."

Qiao Yu had a headache. Did Director Tian treat him as an underage child?

Wait, it seems that he is indeed underage... Then forget it, it's okay.

In just such a phone call, Tian Yanzhen told him various precautions for more than ten minutes. It also overturned Qiao Yu's understanding of this kind of gathering of mathematicians. In the American and British dramas he watched when he was learning English, dinner parties were just about everyone wearing formal clothes, holding a glass of wine and looking for someone to chat with.

I can’t imagine what it would be like for a group of old men to play a card game at a dinner party.

That seems to be something that the old men outside his community in Xingcheng like to do.

It seems that the old man and the mathematician have similar hobbies. It's nothing more than changing Landlords and Fast Runners into bridge.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yu gave up the idea of ​​going to the branch venue to listen to a report, and simply read a book in the room.

After communicating with Peter Schultz, Qiao Yu also realized his shortcomings.

When having an academic discussion with someone, it is really embarrassing for someone to suddenly say a theorem that they thought was well-known, but he didn't know it.

Fortunately, I had a private chat with Peter Schulz last night. If there were more people, he would be an embarrassment to his alma mater.

Qiao Xi just reminded him not to get carried away, especially not to disappoint those who have placed great hopes on him. Qiao Yu felt that this must be done.

Just reading quietly in the room, at five fifty, Qiao Yu walked out of the room and went down to the fifth floor.

Although I have heard many rumors on the Internet that foreign organized events are unreliable, it seems that the hotel actually did a good job this time.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, there is a special bilingual sign in French and English, pointing to the restaurant where the mathematician's banquet is held.

However, Qiao Yu felt that this kind of bilingual signage was somewhat redundant, and that it should be enough to use Chinese and English.

As soon as I took a few steps towards the restaurant, I heard a familiar voice behind me saying: "Oh, look, I bet one dollar that the young man in front of me must be the star of today's conference, Qiao Yu "

Qiao Yu turned around and saw that, as expected, many familiar people had just stepped out of another elevator in the hotel.

The speaker was Pierre Delini, followed by Lot Dugan, Peter Schulz, and several other Princeton professors.

In short, they are all acquaintances he met today.

"Hello, Professor Delini. And hello, everyone." Qiao Yu stood there and said hello to several people.

“We just discussed a few issues. By the way, Lott also said that he forgot to tell you in the afternoon. After writing a paper about what you talked about today, he asked you to submit the manuscript to Ann.Math. Right? Lott." Pierre Delini turned to look at the little old man following him.

"Of course, Qiao Yu, I think our relationship is not bad. I also promised to send you five sample copies this afternoon. I will also mail you five copies of your paper. ” said Lot Dugan.

"Ah? I should discuss this with Professor Dennis and Professor Pan, right? Shouldn't everyone publish their papers in one journal?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

Lot Dugan took a step forward, shook his head, and said: "Why should you listen to their opinions? This is your achievement metaphor. You must have this confidence. Your ideas, your achievements, It is your freedom and your right to submit your paper to any magazine, and you don’t need to care about anyone else’s ideas.”

Qiao Yu blinked subconsciously. He probably understood why Director Tian specifically told him not to give anyone a firm promise.

None of these math masters care about martial ethics.

Of course it would be okay if he developed it separately from Dennis and Pan Jingyuan's papers, but the entire proof process of the geometric Langlands conjecture seems to be broken.

So Qiao Yu immediately said: "Professor Dugan, I think you are right, but there is no way, I am not an adult yet. In China, people under the age of eighteen are incomplete civil actors. I You don’t have to discuss it with Professor Dennis and the others, but you must get the consent of my teacher.”

Lot Dugan spread his hands.

Well, although he has been to China more than once, he is not familiar enough with China to know whether there is such a provision in the law.

But then again, any country has restrictions on minors. It can only be said that Qiao Yu's age advantage is too incredible.

"Haha, okay, Lott, I think you can go talk to Professor Tian later. It's time for us to go in, Qiao Yu, let's go together."

......

For Qiao Yu, mathematicians’ banquets are interesting but also quite boring.

But he can't do anything interesting, so he's just bored.

For example, bridge...

There was actually a mathematician who stacked two tables together and started the game.

He understood the rules of the game after watching two games. Moreover, these mathematicians were really just playing for fun and had nothing to do with gambling. The jackpot was just some change. After all, no matter how bad your luck is, the win or loss will probably be less than a few euros.

The real fun actually lies in the ridicule and ridicule of the loser by the winner after a game of cards, as well as the mutual complaints among themselves...

These big guys bicker with each other quite harshly.

Although there are no swear words, if you think about it carefully, it is far more dirty than a simple national curse.

There were no attractive beauties at the banquet. Qiao Yu thought there would be those ladies wearing high-end backless dresses on TV, and planned to see with his own eyes what such clothes would look like in reality. .

It’s a pity that I didn’t see it.

On the other hand, Lucas Eisen took Frank to chat with him for a few more words. Frank invited him again, but Qiao Yu politely refused.

After this conversation, Qiao Yu felt that Frank might have recognized him, judging from his demeanor, tone, and words, and he felt that his premonitions were always accurate. But Qiao Yu played very steadily.

He is just a sixteen-year-old ignorant boy. The most important task now is to study. If he needs to make decisions, he can just leave it to Tian Yanzhen.

"You two may not know that I have lost my father since I was a child. My mother and grandpa worked hard to raise me up. So I don’t understand many things. My teacher, Tian Yanzhen The professor is like my father. He told me that it is still far away.

So I believe it. We will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, but that will have to wait until my teacher Tian Yanzhen, who is also my emotional father, feels that I have the ability to do this. "

In other words, when he said this, Qiao Yu could feel that Frank seemed unnatural and had some guesses.

It made him feel funny.

He originally wanted to say, "Hey, my dad died tragically back then..." But he thought that this sentence was too deliberate, so he held back.

Qiao Xi said she didn’t care about this anymore, but Qiao Yu actually cared a little, but he was not anxious at all.

After all, he is not strong enough now and has not grown up enough to control this man's academic resources. So take your time.

The only pity is that Professor Frank is leaving the next day.

But this is not a very special situation.

Because most of the important reports of the long mathematics conference here will be given on the first day.

Many people choose to leave early after attending a lecture or dinner that they are interested in. After all, mathematicians are also very busy.

Qiao Yu also heard that the organizing committee originally intended that the professor’s lecture on 3K surfaces that was originally scheduled to open today would be changed to a one-hour lecture at the main venue this afternoon.

But because the reason that the professor wanted the organizing committee to announce to the public was physical discomfort, they simply moved it from the first day to the last day.

Of course this is just a rumor Qiao Yu heard and cannot be true.

In short, Professor Frank was going to leave tomorrow, which still made Qiao Yu feel a little disappointed.

He wanted to communicate with the professor every day to see if he would not be able to resist doing something stupid...

The banquet lasted from six o'clock to eight o'clock. .

The professors who were playing cards were obviously still interested, so they made an appointment to continue in the entertainment room downstairs. Qiao Yu, who had drank a lot of juice, followed Tian Yanzhen back to the room obediently. Looking forward to the next interview.

Tian Yanzhen probably drank some wine and was in a high mood.

"How's it going? You're about to be interviewed, are you nervous?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm not nervous at all. The school gave me a gift when I won the Little Libaba gold medal. I arranged an exclusive interview, and there were people filming it, so I wasn’t nervous at all.”

Qiao Yu replied.

"Haha, yes, don't be nervous, just answer whatever he asks. Originally I wanted to do a video interview, but I refused. Your foundation is not strong enough now, so there is no need to be too high-profile. Those people don't care about your future. They can praise you very highly when you succeed, and they can also step on you when you fail."

Tian Yanzhen said it very bluntly.

No way, Qiao Yu is too young. As a mentor, he was afraid that what he said was not straightforward enough for Qiao Yu to understand.

The real world is not mathematics. If you have not experienced many things, you will not understand them.

But obviously Qiao Yu is an outlier. In fact, he understands and believes in this truth, and nodded in agreement: "I understand, Director Tian."

In fact, Qiao Yu, who is good at observation, has accumulated a lot of social experience, which is often counter-intuitive. He just never tells others.

For example, the same people who like to sing praises and step on others' toes are often the same people; for example, when someone is in trouble, those who have helped you will generally not help. On the contrary, those who have helped you in the past are more likely to lend a hand again. A helping hand...

What Qiao Yu observes is that the people and things around him are a little more market-oriented, but in fact, most of the time, human nature is the same.

Putting on a layer of reserve and nobility does not make human nature much nobler.

"As long as you understand. At your age, any achievement is achieved in stages. You must continue to work hard and don't waste your talent. If you are really interested in prime numbers , I think maybe this problem of Riemann Hypothesis can really be solved by you.”

Tian Yanzhen said something encouraging.

The term "ending conjecture" is actually very practical, because the reason why the conjecture is called a conjecture is because no one is sure whether it is correct so far. Although most mathematicians believe that the Riemann Hypothesis will one day become the Riemann Theorem.

But mathematics is often counter-intuitive.

It's like there is a bunk bed hypothesis in probability theory, which is that when graphs are stacked together like bunk beds, they can be navigated in different ways. Just looking at this proposition, more than 90% of mathematicians think this is obvious.

But last year, three mathematicians found counterexamples, proving that this seemingly correct conjecture was wrong.

In short, no one dares to say that a certain mathematical conjecture must be correct or wrong until a conjecture is proved or disproven completely through logic.

Tian Yanzhen said it so rigorously, obviously he really felt that Qiao Yu could make some achievements on this issue.

"Uh..." Qiao Yu was a little flattered.

“You should have also met Professor Mattis from the Clay Institute tonight, so you don’t need to be polite to them. The global reward for this issue has now been increased to 1.5 million US dollars, which is almost tens of millions at the current exchange rate. RMB.

No country levies taxes on the prize money offered by this kind of international natural science reward, so you must think of a way when you go back. I will chat with you more in the future and see if I can give you another flash of inspiration and put this The problem is completely solved.”

Tian Yanzhen joked.

No way, today many people discussed with Qiao Yu how he came up with this solution. Qiao Yu all used the same method he explained to Pan Jingyuan - because of what Director Tian once said, Then suddenly a flash of inspiration solved the problem.

Although I didn’t say it to Tian Yanzhen’s face, the mathematicians were chatting with people everywhere at the banquet, so it was inevitable that the news would reach Tian Yanzhen’s ears again and again.

I can only say that this little flatterer is extremely clever.

Although Tian Yanzhen would not really take the credit for himself, he was undoubtedly extremely happy in his heart.

After all, there are so many people talking about this kind of thing, and it might actually be recorded in textbooks a hundred years from now. When people talk about the geometric Langlands conjecture, when they mention Qiao Yu, they will probably mention something his mentor said: "Look for invariance in change, and seek simplicity in complexity."

When people reach a certain age and status, what they want is a name for themselves.

If a disciple is like this, what else can I ask for? Great comfort to the old man!

"Hehe." Qiao Yu laughed twice.

I have flattered you before, so there is no need to emphasize it now.

Of course, Qiao Yu didn't even think that he was flattering his mentor. Strictly speaking, he was just stating a fact. It's just a little bit of processing, and Brother Chen, who serves as a bridge in the middle, has been deleted from the story.

"Okay, you go back to your room and read a book first. I'll call you when Reporter Zhang comes."

......

Qiao Yu returned to herself obediently room, but within fifteen minutes I received a call from Tian Yanzhen.

When they arrived at Tian Yanzhen’s room, his tutor had already changed his clothes. The undetectable odor of alcohol on his body had dissipated.

There was also a young man in the room who looked to be in his thirties.

"Come, let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Nuoke, the resident reporter of China News Service in Paris. This child is Qiao Yu, and he is also the star of hope for our future mathematics community in China! "

"Hello, Reporter Zhang. Director Tian is so flattering," Qiao Yu greeted politely.

I felt a little jealous. Before the interview, I told him to keep a low profile. However, when he was introduced, he said that he would be the star of hope in the future mathematics community of China. Well, very lax about self-discipline.

"Hello, Qiao Yu. I'm very glad that you agreed to be interviewed today. I saw your report at the scene today. Although I didn't understand it, I could feel it was very impressive." Zhang Nuoxia said.

Qiao Yu smiled shyly.

The description of momentum is too mysterious. He does not believe that he can have any momentum.

After another round of pleasantries, the three people finally sat down.

Zhang Nuoke also asked: "How about we start now? Qiao Yu, do you need to warm up first?"

Qiao Yu shook his head and replied: "It's okay. In fact, I have been interviewed once and I am used to it."

After hearing this, Zhang Nuo was ridiculous and said: "I know. Before I came here, I watched the video of your previous interview with Star City Morning News, and your performance was very good. But your evaluation of MIT is very interesting."< br>
This was not easy to answer, so Qiao Yu could only smile again.

Ever since he learned that the man left MIT after graduating with a master's degree, he has forgiven MIT. After all, MIT's attitude was much stronger than that of Berkeley. Not only did they let the man study for a Ph.D., they even allowed him to stay at the school and become a professor.

After obtaining the consent of Qiao Yu and Tian Yanzhen, they took out a recording pen from their pockets and the interview officially began.

Before the interview officially started, Zhang Nuoke also gave a special reminder: "If you feel that the questions I ask are inappropriate or you don't want to answer them, you can choose not to answer them. It's as easy as chatting between friends. Just fine.”

"Okay, Reporter Zhang."

"Stop being so formal, just call me Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhang, ask me."

" Well, I saw you said in an interview before that you were in Star Teacher Lan Jie in City Railway No. 1 Middle School was your first tutor in mathematics, right? When you stand now, what do you think of your first teacher? "

Zhang Nuoke was the first one? The question made Qiao Yu feel full of kindness.

After all, this kind of question has a standard answer, which is easy to answer and can help him get into the state quickly.

"I have always been very grateful to Teacher Lan, just like what I said last time..."

After praising the good old man and his former alma mater in a fancy way, he chatted for a few more casually. After a mess of questions, Zhang Nuoke's questions gradually began to deepen.

“First of all, I want to congratulate you for having a paper that is about to be published in Ann.Math, the world’s top mathematics journal. In addition to the report you gave today on the Langlands conjecture, these topics require very profound mathematics. Knowledge.

As a recognized mathematical genius, how do you choose your research direction and what are the biggest challenges you encounter when solving these problems? ”

"Um..."

Qiao Yu subconsciously glanced at Tian Yanzhen, who was smiling next to him, and after a quick turn in his mind, he answered: "As for topic selection, it's actually about interest. This I would like to thank my teacher Tian Yanzhen and my master Yuan Zhengxin.

Since I came to Beijing, they have given me a high degree of freedom in my studies. They have not asked me to study anything, but they have provided me with information after they found out that I was interested. Those self-study materials.

For example, when he knew that I was interested in the geometric Langlands conjecture, Mr. Yuan specifically introduced me to Professor Pan, who studied the geometric Langlands conjecture. As I said at the report meeting, Professor Pan provided me with a lot of Help.

As for the challenges in research... I don’t seem to feel any challenges because the instructors don’t have any special requirements. I just do this research out of interest. I just find problems every day and think about them. Then the problem was solved.”

The answer to this question made Zhang Nuoke a little stuck...

Is it okay if I don’t feel challenged?

He subconsciously glanced at Tian Yanzhen next to him. Unfortunately, the academician didn't have any expression either.

“Is there any specific way of thinking or technique involved?”

Qiao Yu shook his head firmly and said, “There really isn’t any. If you can’t think of it, just think about it. ? Of course it's probably because I haven't encountered that particularly difficult problem yet, or maybe someone has already solved the most difficult part.

But mathematics, sometimes it really depends on inspiration. My inspiration to solve the geometric Langlands conjecture is also thanks to my teacher Tian Yanzhen..."

Qiao Yu said again his method of dealing with those mathematicians.

Zhang Nuo It's ridiculous.

He didn't know whether to evaluate "hard thinking" or "no problem" as modesty or ordinary. I'm so disappointed...

Although he is a liberal arts student, he has done homework in these aspects. Not to mention the geometric Langlands conjecture, the problem of the upper bound of the rational point of the curve is definitely not simple. In other words, the problems solved by articles that are valued by top mathematics journals probably cannot be described as simple.

But he still likes such a straightforward expression...

"So what are your expectations or ideas for future mathematical research?"

"Yesterday I talked with Professor Schultz After that, I found that my basic knowledge of mathematics was still very weak. In fact, Director Tian and Mr. Yuan also reminded me of this issue, so I plan to focus on studying first and then consider this issue. "

" Well, a child with weak basic knowledge has solved the geometric Langlands conjecture..."

Zhang Nuoke thought to himself, seeing Qiao Yu's cooperation, he suddenly became bolder, and glanced subconsciously at first Tian Yanzhen, who was next to him, then asked: "You just thanked Professor Tian and Mr. Yuan more than once. Do you know that there was some unhappiness between Professor Tian and Mr. Yuan? So what do you think of the hotly debated mathematics circles on the Internet? The Great Reconciliation of the Century?”

Well, this question is very risky, Zhang Nuoke is already ready to be kicked out by Tian Yanzhen.

As expected, he felt that Tian Yanzhen was about to speak. Fortunately, Qiao Yu asked with curiosity: "I don't know? What is the great reconciliation of the century? The relationship between Director Tian and Mr. Yuan Isn’t it always good? Where did you hear the news?”

“Well, there is always relevant news on the Internet.”

"That must be fake news!" Qiao Yu said firmly.

"But Mr. Yuan did criticize Professor Tian publicly." Zhang Nuoke couldn't help but said.

"Has Professor Na Tian publicly criticized Mr. Yuan?" Qiao Yu asked.

Zhang Nuoke was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

“So, it’s all fake news. Isn’t it normal for tutors to criticize students? Haven’t you been criticized by teachers when you were studying? Director Tian also criticized me. I can only listen, even after graduation.
After all, a teacher is always a teacher. So what you said just proves that Director Tian respects teachers and Mr. Yuan still cares about the students who have graduated. The relationship between teachers and students has always been good. "

Qiao Yu said with reason.

Well, in fact, when Zhang Nuoke mentioned the topic of the conflict between Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin and the reconciliation of the century, the material for this interview was almost enough.

After sensing that Academician Tian was no longer happy, Zhang Nuoke also stopped the interview at the right time, said goodbye and left in a sensible manner.

The reason he dares to take such a risk is because he is based in Paris anyway. This kind of world-class mathematician conference usually travels all over the world. I don’t know when the next one will be held in France, so I don’t know when it will be held in France. I'm not too afraid of offending this math guru.

But reporters still have self-awareness. Feeling like you've become unwelcome, it's better to end the interview normally than to be kicked out.

Sure enough, when he said it was over, Tian Yanzhen just said a few words in a neutral tone and asked Qiao Yu to send him out.

The only thing that made him depressed was probably the answer given by Qiao Yu.

If you just refuse to admit that there has been any conflict between the two, naturally there will be no great reconciliation of the century.

In this regard, Zhang Nuoke can only give a thumbs up.

As expected of a mathematical genius, his ability to tell lies with open eyes is also very impressive!

However, after Zhang Nuoke left, there were only two teachers and students left, and the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

"You really don't know what happened back then?" Tian Yanzhen asked.

"I don't know." Qiao Yu shook his head confidently. Anyway, he really didn't care too much. As for those statements on the Internet, who can tell whether they are true or false?

Looking at Qiao Yu's innocent look, Tian Yanzhen smiled to himself and said, "Actually, looking back now, there really isn't much to say. It's the same on any road. The higher you go, the harder it will be. The narrower it gets.

Everyone has their own idea, but when it reaches the higher position, it is already too narrow to accommodate so many people. People's thoughts. In the future, when you have a voice in the mathematics world, you will face the same problem. There is no clear distinction between right and wrong, it is just a matter of making a choice."

Qiao Yu thought. After thinking about it, he said: "Director Tian actually doesn't need to be so pessimistic. If the space is small, then we should find a way to expand it."

Tian Yanzhen glared at the young man, wanting to reprimand him a few words, but he couldn't bear to scold him, and finally just said: "Okay, rest early today. You still have to go and support Dennis and Professor Pan's report tomorrow morning. In the afternoon Yan Yan Professor Zhou and Professor Li from Peking University You also want to go to the professor's lecture."

"Okay, I'll go back first."

Look at Qiao Yu. After leaving, Tian Yanzhen sighed, and then laughed again.

At least the road ahead is smooth now, so what’s wrong?

...

Qiao Yu returned to the room and let out a sigh of relief.

The damn reporter just asked questions blindly, which really tests people’s adaptability... I really don’t pick up which pot I like. If he hadn't been busy making money since the fifth grade of elementary school and developed the skills to satisfy the donor, he really wouldn't know how to answer that question.

But this also made Qiao Yu wary of the journalist industry. Next time you must try not to accept an interview. Even if you accept an interview, you must ask the questions first...

You must not give these reporters a chance to ask blind questions!

Thanks to Chinese Baby for the reward and encouragement!

By the way, I was so concerned about what I was doing today that I went to use a certain short video software, but all the foreign ladies recommended me various exotic styles. What the hell is that? !

It’s so strange that I almost couldn’t finish the tasks today!
