I really just want to be a scholar

Qin Ke, who was in Qingmu University in Xiaguo, didn't know that he had won the latest Ramanujan Prize. His mind was all on the new mathematical method named "Nonlinear Structure Method of Lime Number Theory". Approach.

It was late at night, and Qin Ke, who returned from the study room to the boys' dormitory, took a hasty shower and then plunged into the ocean of mathematics. The tip of his pen flicked quickly in the warm yellow sprinkled by the desk lamp, and he filled out complex calculations line by line. The draft paper was full, and the draft paper was immediately put aside, and a new draft paper appeared under the pen.

And the draft paper next to it was piled up in a thick pile.

Li Xiangxue, Hua Manting, and Jiang Zhenjie in the same dormitory didn't dare to disturb him, and they even walked around lightly when they got up.Dormitory 501, which is usually bustling and bustling with people constantly coming to visit, has rarely become quiet during this time.

Everyone knows that Qin Ke is in the battle to overcome Goldbach's conjecture, and it seems to have entered a critical stage, so no one wants to disturb him, and even the voices of the usual conversations and activities in the nearby dormitories have consciously decreased. .

It’s just that the voices of quiet discussions kept coming out, not just the basic science class, but also the entire physics department, and even the boys from the mechanical automation major, computer major, life science and technology and other majors in the entire male dormitory building were all in the classroom. discuss.

"Hey, do you think the monitor and the school committee can succeed? That's Goldbach's conjecture. Even old Mr. Chen Jinglan couldn't prove it completely. In the end, he only proved '1+2'..."

"It's hard to say. I think Brother Ke and the school committee can no longer use common sense to speculate. I heard from the girls in the girls' dormitory that recently the school committee has been working hard to write and calculate. They often stay up until two or three o'clock in the morning."

"I think it's possible. You think that the predecessors have advanced the research results to '1 2'. I heard that the weak Goldbach's conjecture has also been proved. Only the last step '1 1' is left. It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Not difficult? If it is not difficult, why has no one been able to complete this finishing touch for decades? Have you ever heard a saying, called the road of scientific research, half to ninety? 90.00%, in fact, there is still half the distance to success! Didn’t Brother Ke also say at dinner last time that if you want to fully prove Goldbach’s conjecture, the current path, whether it is the big sieve method or the new method, will not work, and you can only open up a brand new path.”

"Create a new path...it sounds amazing."

"It's really powerful. I heard that Brother Ke and the academic committee are working together to study a brand-new mathematical processing method. They plan to use this new method to overcome Goldbach's conjecture. Once this new mathematical method is perfected and published, it will be faster than the proof Goldbach's conjecture is even more meaningful in itself."

"I don't know what to hear, how can this make me feel embarrassed when I am still struggling in the pit of the real variable function?"

"Comparing yourself with a student god, isn't it just for fun?"

"By the way, if they can really prove Goldbach's conjecture, are we witnessing the birth of history?"

"Hey, we haven't witnessed much history. The twin prime number conjecture and the hailstone conjecture were also proved under our noses?"

"No, this is Goldbach's conjecture. I have heard the story of Mr. Chen studying Goldbach's conjecture without sleep and food since I was in elementary school. Now I know what is Riemann conjecture, what is BSD conjecture, and what is millennium Before the Seven Great Mathematical Problems in [-], I always thought that Goldbach's conjecture was the most difficult mathematical problem in the world."

"Not to mention, for the vast majority of Chinese people, Goldbach's conjecture is still the most difficult math problem in the world."

"I really envy Brother Ke and the academic committee. I really don't know what their brains are made of. When I came to Qingmu University, I thought I was a genius. Later, when I compared them, I realized that I was far from being a real genius. huge chasm!"

"Isn't this nonsense? I've read the draft written by Brother Ke. My god, I can't understand most of it."

"You can see a small part of it is already very good. I felt dizzy last time I looked at it. Hey, my future IT dog should read the software code."

……

Not only the students are paying attention to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's research progress on Goldbach's conjecture, but also the school leaders, faculty members, especially the head of the Department of Mathematics Wei Yuanfu and even Academician Tian Jianlan and other professors are all concerned. Great attention has been paid to it.

Wei Yuanfu was in the office of the vice principal, Gu Bojun, reporting what he knew.

"Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are still attending classes normally, but they study late at the Lime Number Theory Laboratory every night, and after they return to their dormitories, they continue to study by lamplight. I heard that they are all studying Goldbach's conjecture , they intend to create an entirely new mathematical treatment to solve this century-old problem."

"A brand-new mathematical processing method?" Gu Bojun turned his attention to Academician Tian Jianlan who was invited as a consultant.

Academician Tian Jianlan pondered: "It should be the mathematical method based on stochastic differential equations that Qin Ke used to derive the fourth set of expressions of Riemann's conjecture in his Crawford Award academic report."

Gu Bojun also watched the high-definition video that was very popular on the Internet. Unfortunately, he could no longer understand the content on it. Is there a new method for Goldbach's conjecture?"

Academician Tian Jianlan pondered for a while, put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "Ning Qingjun's talent in mathematics is very good, close to the genius level, and the mathematical knowledge system has been scientifically optimized, and the foundation is extremely solid. Inherited my Chen school theory and the Wang school theory of the old academician Wang Heng. It is difficult to say in other sub-fields of mathematics, but in the three fields of differential equations, functional analysis, and number theory, she should be among the young mathematicians in the country Second only to Qin Ke's."

"Not to mention Qin Ke, he is the most talented mathematician I have ever seen. His thinking is novel and eclectic, and he completely jumps out of the thinking system of one school of thought. Any mathematical knowledge and mathematical tools can be used for his own use. He is very proficient in using it. Sometimes I feel that he was born for mathematics, and his genius is even higher than that of my mentor, Mr. Chen. I also heard a rumor that the old man Faltins had a very good evaluation of Qin Ke. Gao believes that Zink's future achievements may surpass Grothendieck, the father of modern algebraic geometry."

As Tian Jianlan said, she raised her head and said, "If the two children can't prove Goldbach's conjecture together, then there is only one possibility."

Wei Yuanfu couldn't help asking: "What's possible?"

"They haven't studied it long enough."

I didn't expect Academician Tian Jianlan to have such a high evaluation of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. You must know that Academician Tian Jianlan is not easy to boast about others, and he is extremely strict with his disciples. Now that she says such things, it can be seen that she has great respect for these two children. What a recognition.

Gu Bojun murmured to himself: "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun proved the hail conjecture in early November last year, and then they started to study Goldbach's conjecture, and it is now the middle of May, and they spent almost half a year before and after. Time... If I remember correctly, it took them about half a year to overcome the hail conjecture."

Wei Yuanfu smiled wryly and said, "Principal Gu, you can't just look at the time of study. Goldbach's conjecture is much more difficult than the hailstone conjecture."

Gu Bojun sighed: "Yes, there are many difficulties. It would be great if they can overcome it before August, so that they can strive to publish their papers in October and increase the probability of winning the Fields Medal."

The Fields Medal was selected and announced during the International Congress of Mathematicians held in November at the end of the year, and the publication of papers in October was considered to be the last train.

Generally, it takes half a year or even longer to demonstrate the correctness of such a world-renowned mathematical conjecture proof paper. However, considering the excellent relationship between Qin Ke and the "Annals of Mathematics", the editor-in-chief Faltins will definitely give priority to expert demonstrations Complete the manuscript review as soon as possible, and two months should be barely enough time. If you can overcome Goldbach's conjecture and write a paper for submission before the end of June, you will definitely have more time.

"There are still two or three months left..." Gu Bojun said, then turned his head and asked Wei Yuanfu: "I also heard that Ning Qingjun will write two more papers for the master's degree and doctor's degree. reply?"

Wei Yuanfu spread his hands helplessly and said: "Yes, I also hinted at her, these two defenses are just a formality, but she..."

Professor Tian Jianlan suddenly said: "Ning Qingjun did the right thing. Academics are a serious matter, and formalities cannot be tolerated. She also mentioned to me that she hoped that I would be the judge of the defense. Originally, according to the principle of avoidance, I would not I should be the judge, but I hope the department will agree to me being the judge this time. I want to see what kind of paper my student will hand in."

Gu Bojun and Wei Yuanfu looked at each other, and they both sighed secretly. As expected of being a master and apprentice, this seriousness is really a headache and admiration.

Gu Bojun waved his hand and said, "Then do what Academician Yitian and Ning Qingyun say. It is obvious that they are working hard against the clock, and they still insist on attending classes. I have to admire these two children in my heart."

"That's why they are the unique Qin Ke and the unique Ning Qingyun in the world." Wei Yuanfu also said with emotion: "Enjoying the joy of knowledge while studying... They really did it."

After a while, Gu Bojun said softly: "In short, we should give them full freedom, and then...wait for their good news."

……

Qin Ke didn't care about the "noise" in the unexpected world, and he focused all his attention on the perfection of "Lime Number Theory Nonlinear Structure Method" and using it to prove Goldbach's conjecture.

Before that, he had read most of the existing documents on Goldbach's conjecture, and he still read many English and German documents in the original version.

Although these predecessors' efforts failed to finally conquer Goldbach's conjecture, a mathematical peak that has been in the mathematics world for nearly 300 years, every step has turned into Qin Ke's mathematical nutrients, guiding him to create new mathematical methods The correct direction of his work——just because he knows which roads will not work and which pits to avoid, he perfected the "Nonlinear Structure Method of Lime Number Theory" at this time to be more targeted.

In particular, Ning Qingyun put a lot of effort into this new mathematical method and Goldbach's conjecture, which made the progress of research continue to accelerate.

Sometimes Qin Ke also feels sorry for his little cabbage. While delving into Göhbach's conjecture, he also has to prepare two dissertations. It can be seen that this girl must stay up all night, but he also knows that Ning Qingyun is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so he made up his mind. She will definitely grit her teeth and persevere, no matter how hard or tiring she is, she will never slack back, so there is no way to persuade her.

What's more, isn't he himself immersed in the pain and joy of studying mathematics and unable to extricate himself?What qualifications do you have to persuade Ning Qingyun?

It wasn't until the hands of the clock pointed to three o'clock in the morning that Qin Ke went back to bed and took a nap for two or three hours.

The road of mathematics is often difficult but steadily moving forward in such days and nights, white and black, sweat and numbers.

Qin Ke already felt that he was very close to the finish line.

When the "Nonlinear Structure Method of Lime Number Theory" was finally perfected, it was the day when he and Ning Qingyun proved Goldbach's conjecture.

He has such confidence!
