From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 54 Lectures
"Lin Mo, the department has recently invited Fang Boliang, a well-known domestic expert in topology, professor from Shuimu University. Professor Fang will give a lecture on topology tomorrow. Come and listen. If you have any questions, you can After the lecture, discuss with Professor Fang.”

Lin Mo was a little surprised when he received a call from Tian Fangyi.

Director Tian's work efficiency is really too high.

Although Tian Fangyi didn't say it clearly, Lin Mo understood that this so-called lecture was obviously held by Tian Fangyi for himself.

While sighing at Tian Fangyi's efficiency, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh at Tian Fangyi's personal connections.

Tian Fangyi's position as department chair was really not for nothing.

Lin Mo had heard of Fang Boliang's name, because when Lin Mo was reading in the library, he had read several of Fang Boliang's works, one of which was even a textbook on topology. It can be seen that Fang Boliang was very important in topology. Academic attainments.

Lin Mo couldn't help but look forward to it.

……

The next day, Lin Mo met Fang Boliang in a staircase lecture hall in the school's small auditorium.

Lin Mo came to this lecture alone. Zhang Qihua felt that he had caused Lin Mo trouble last time. In order to avoid similar things happening again, he did not come.

Most of the people present were students from the Department of Mathematics, and there were also a few teachers who came here because of their reputation. Among them was Liu Qin.

Liu Qin was sitting in the front row. He glanced proudly at the crowd behind him, but happened to see Lin Mo, and a trace of ridicule appeared on his face.

However, Fang Boliang arrived at the scene soon and failed to give Liu Qin a chance to perform.

Fang Boliang, accompanied by Tian Fangyi, walked into the lecture hall and stepped onto the podium.

Tian Fang glanced towards the audience and saw Lin Mo. Tian Fang nodded towards Lin Mo in an unobtrusive manner.

Then Tian Fangyi began to host the lecture, first introducing Fang Boliang to everyone, and then handed the podium to him.

Fang Boliang is now over 60 years old, but he still looks energetic. On the podium, his words are sonorous and powerful, and his lectures have clear logic and clear regulations.

In this report, Fang Boliang talked about his latest research theory. Although the theory was boring, Fang Boliang's vivid explanation and simple explanation made everyone listen attentively, enjoy it with relish, and benefit a lot.

Lin Mo was also happy, especially when he saw the two bubbles falling from Professor Fang's feet, he was even more delighted.

The two-hour lecture ended quickly. Lin Mo walked towards Fang Boliang, pocketed the bubbles, and wanted to ask Fang Boliang for advice again.

"Professor Fang, excuse me, I have some questions to ask you."

"Hey, isn't that who it is? Professor Fang, don't listen to him. There's something wrong with him. He just wants to gain your reputation and get you to endorse him."

As soon as Lin Mo approached Fang Boliang, a figure jumped out and stood between Lin Mo and Fang Boliang. Who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Qin?

Fang Boliang had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Professor Fang, it's like this. He is a graduate student in our school. To be precise, he is a prospective graduate student. He has not officially entered the school. He said that he wants to combine number theory and topology to create a new mathematical method. You said this is not Are you kidding?"

"Professor Fang, please ignore him. You mentioned the method of topology construction in your lecture just now. I think it's okay... You go this way..."

Tian Fang looked livid when he saw Liu Qin leading Fang Boliang out. He didn't expect that Liu Qin would dare to do this in front of him.

As soon as Tian Fang wanted to speak out, he heard Lin Mo's voice. "Professor Fang, regarding topology, I have a bold idea, which is to build a new topology between two and three dimensions. It has the characteristics of two-dimensional topology and the advantages of three-dimensional topology, and can be more My idea is to combine good things with functions to create a new form..."

Lin Mo directly expressed his thoughts loudly.

Fang Boliang, who had followed Liu Qin for a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Mo, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

"Classmate, your idea is very creative. I think we can discuss it in depth."

Fang Boliang walked towards Lin Mo and extended an invitation to Lin Mo with a smile.

Lin Mo smiled when he heard this.

"As long as you want, I dare not ask for your ears."

"Hahaha, you young man is very interesting!"

"Professor Fang, please come this way."

Liu Qin froze in place, looking at Fang Boliang's leaving back in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.

Tian Fangyi nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Liu Qin, snorted coldly, and followed the pace of Lin Mo and Fang Boliang.

Lin Mo directly introduced Fang Boliang to the Mathematics Research Center, and the two talked all the way. Of course, this process was mainly Lin Mo explaining his theory.

It wasn't until he entered the office and asked Fang Boliang to sit down that Lin Mo finished speaking his thoughts.

"Your idea is very innovative. If you really make it happen, it will be a big achievement. I don't know if you can win Fields, but there is definitely no problem with Zhong Jiaqing."

The Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award is one of the three major awards in the domestic mathematics community. It was established to commemorate the outstanding Chinese mathematician Zhong Jiaqing who died young. It rewards China's most outstanding master's and doctoral students in mathematics.

The other two major awards are the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize.

The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award was established to recognize Chen Shengshen’s achievements and encourage young and middle-aged Chinese mathematicians to make contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics. It rewards Chinese young and middle-aged mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award is to commemorate the great achievements of Mr. Hua Luogeng, encourage Chinese mathematicians to make outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics, promote the development of Chinese mathematics, and reward Chinese mathematicians who have made outstanding academic achievements in the field of mathematics.

The three awards target different groups of people. Zhong Jiaqing targets graduate students, Chen Shengshen targets young mathematicians, and Hua Luogeng targets famous mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions.

Lin Mo smiled and said nothing. His target was not Zhong Jiaqing at all. If he really wanted to talk about the target, Lin Mo felt that Fields was a good little target.

"Professor Fang, I still have some doubts about a few things. I haven't made a breakthrough yet. You are an expert in topology, so I would like to ask you for advice."

"It's not about asking for advice, little friend, you might as well come over and let's discuss it together."

Fang Boliang was impressed by Lin Mo before he knew it, and he was called a classmate and a friend.

Lin Mo was not polite and directly talked about his problems.

"In the process of building this topology, how can I improve the shape of this topology? How can I make a topology that meets my needs..."
