Chapter 188 When she beats me, it’s not easy to hurt herself
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On April 4, with the end of the last lecture on analytic geometry, the seven-day mathematical feast officially came to an end. In the evening, there was the long-awaited cocktail party.
Xu Qingzhou still didn't go. He has been in retreat since the report meeting and declined all invitations, whether it was seminars, coffee parties, or cooperation invitations.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingzhou finished typing the last word and clicked the "Submit" button.
Ding~
“Hu~”
Xu Qingzhou looked at the successful submission email that popped up, took a long breath, and grinned. After half a year of hard work, he finally got it done.
The journal I submitted to this time is still "Mathematical Invention", I am an old acquaintance, the review is quick, and there is no page fee.
Xu Qingzhou closed the computer, put the manuscript into his bag, and prepared to take a shower before going out. Although the paper was finished, there was still one more important thing to do - buy a gift for Song Yao.
Girls, even though they say they don’t want it, it’s definitely not wrong to bring something back.
"I am holding a meteor crescent knife in my hand and shouting loud slogans. Whoever is ahead of me will sign up. If you have the ability, don't run away."
In the hotel, Xu Qingzhou hummed a pleasant tune and got into the bathroom.
Across the ocean, the editorial department of "Mathematical Invention".
Elton took a sip of coffee and was getting ready to get off work. Over the past six months, he had been in a good mood and had produced many high-quality papers, especially the proof of Kramer's theorem.
In half a year, as long as half a year, the position of deputy editor will definitely be yours!
Thanks to that young man from Xia Kingdom.
Moreover, I heard two days ago that this young man announced at a report meeting in Cambridge that he was about to prove the twin prime number conjecture.
Many people around him scoffed at this, treating it as a joke, thinking that he was just a young man talking big words. , but he felt that it was very exciting, and planned to write an email to Xu Qingzhou in the evening. If the other party planned to submit a manuscript, he would be very willing to accept it.
4:30 p.m.
Elton looked at the time and planned to take a rest before getting off work.
After finishing the coffee, he immediately called his old friend's phone, "Hi, James, will you come out for a drink later?"
"God, you finally put down your damn job and choose a place." The other person said.
"Then...huh?"
Elton said, and just as he was about to turn off the computer, he suddenly saw the computer prompt that there was an additional submission, and the contributor was Xu Qingzhou!
The person on the other side asked: "Brother, where's the address?"
"James, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I have to work overtime. I'll drink next time."
"Thanks"
The person on the other end was just swearing, but Elton had already hung up the phone. At the same time, he clicked on the file very quickly.
Paper name: Research on the distribution of prime numbers and proof of the twin prime conjecture
Looking at the submitted paper on the screen, Elton swallowed. Proof of the twin prime conjecture? ! Did that young man from Xia Kingdom really prove it?
If it was sent by someone else, he might not even have the desire to read it, thinking that the paper would only delay him from going to the blues bar to drink beer.
What about the twin prime conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, Riemann's conjecture? The editorial department receives at least a dozen articles a year.
However, this person is Xu Qingzhou, the prover of Kramer’s theorem!
Elton took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, opened the paper, and quickly fell into it.
Dong Dong~
Ten minutes passed, and someone knocked on the table.
Elton looked up and saw editor-in-chief Avanisha Hajiyev standing next to him, and said somewhat helplessly: "Elton, at this time, you should really ask a friend out for a drink."
"Mr. Hajiyev, I received Xia Guo Xu Qingzhou's paper." Elton's face showed unparalleled excitement and excitement.
Awanisha was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Oh? What is it about?"
"Proof of the twin prime conjecture." "What?"
"Proof of the twin prime conjecture."
"."
Awanisha's face was slightly frozen, and he was not ready to leave. He turned back to the office and prepared to pull out the paper.
Elton reminded: "Mr. Hajiyev, you have to go to the mayor's cocktail party."
"Elton, if this paper is successful, we will all be witnesses. Go to hell with all this bullshit party!"
Louis Hotel, Cambridge.
Xu Qingzhou took a hot shower and finally felt that most of the fatigue on his body was reduced. From the 2nd to today, he has been doing complex work every day.
To his surprise, in only half an hour, the manuscript had already entered the "AwaitingReviewerAssignment" link.
It's so efficient.
Sighing, Xu Qingzhou put on his coat and walked out of the room for the first time in these days.
Compared with the bustle of the previous few days, there were very few people in the hotel. Most of them went to attend tonight's cocktail party, and some left early.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the night is already dark, and the street lamps emit orange light, making the shadows of tourists long.
Xu Qingzhou tightened his collar, and a cool breeze blew over. In April, it was early spring here. Even though there was a west wind coming from the west, blessed by the west wind of the North Atlantic warm current, there was still a hint of chill in the air.
He did not go to the Grafton Center in Cambridge, but turned a corner and entered King Street. Cambridge University's specialty gifts were not his first choice. Scenic spots around the world were the same, and the souvenirs were all similar, with no special features.
But there are many creative shops on this street selling handmade products.
Xu Qingzhou turned around and finally stopped in front of a store called "Faulkner Grocery Store".
Pushing the door open, a clear bell rang at the door. The store is not big, a bit like the place where you buy magic wands in Harry Potter.
"Good evening, sir." The old man greeted him in Chinese.
"Good evening." Xu Qingzhou greeted with a smile, looked at the items in the store, and then asked, "Can you understand Chinese?"
The old man nodded and smiled softly: "I can speak 5 languages, including Chinese."
"I want to buy a bracelet." Xu Qingzhou said directly, feeling that the masters are among the people. As for why the other party can tell at a glance that he is from Xia country, this requires experience, such as inferring through body movements, clothing style and other information.
The old man pointed to the left: "You can go over there and see. My wife made them all by herself."
Xu Qingzhou walked over and saw a dozen bracelets on the shelf. There were quite a lot of styles. Some were golden and noble, while others were restrained and small. Of course, they might not be as exquisite as the carvings of world-class masters, but they were more meaningful.
"I want this." Xu Qingzhou picked up the bracelet on the far right.
Silvery white, without complicated decoration, the design is simple and exquisite. The chain body is delicately woven with tiny geometric patterns, which is in line with Song Yao's cold temperament.
The old man looked at the bracelet in Xu Qingzhou's hand and sighed with emotion: "It's very discerning. This is also my wife's most proud work."
"In addition to good looks, there is another very important reason." Xu Qingzhou also became more and more suitable as he looked at it.
The old man showed an expression as if he had met a fellow-minded person: "I am willing to hear the reason."
"When she beats me, it's not easy to hurt her hands."
