From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 66 Report Meeting

The next day.

Nine in the morning.

Lecture Hall of the Central Main Building of Shuimu University.

At this time, the lecture hall, which can accommodate a thousand people, was already full of people, and there were even some people standing in the back row.

And the first three rows of the conference room were full of academic leaders, including two Fields Medal winners, five academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and well-known scholars, professors, and doctoral supervisors from other schools.

If you didn’t know better, you would have thought this was some kind of grand academic conference.

Of course, the only regret is that there are still relatively few internationally renowned scholars, only two or three here and there.

There is no way, time is really short, and many internationally renowned scholars are not able to attend the lecture due to their schedules.

Most of the people sitting in the back were students from Shuimu University and other surrounding schools.

The practicality of Kratz's conjecture may not be high, but it is very well-known in the academic world. Basically, students majoring in mathematics have heard of it and know that it is an unsolved problem that has been around for nearly a century. Therefore, nowadays He said that someone had proved him, and out of curiosity, they rushed to hear the report.

The presentation will start on time.

Lin Mo walked up to the podium and glanced at the crowd of heads in the audience, as well as the highly respected experts and scholars in the front row, and his heart beat a few beats faster.

For such a big battle, it is impossible not to be nervous.

Although Lin Mo was chatting and laughing with a certain kind of boss last night, it was a dinner party and the atmosphere was completely different from now.

Although he was reborn, he had never experienced such a big scene before or after his rebirth.

Thousands of people were watching me, waiting to hear my report. Only those who were at the scene could understand this kind of pressure.

While Lin Mo was doing some psychological construction with himself, everyone in the audience was also looking at Lin Mo, and there were also some comments.

【So young? 】

[Isn’t this a student who is still studying? 】

[Young people are awesome, such a young age proves Kratz's conjecture, the future is boundless. 】

[Who’s to say? What if it’s another lie? 】

[No way, Shuimu University won’t do this kind of thing to ruin its own brand, right? 】

[Then who knows, is it true or false? Wouldn’t it be clear after listening to it? 】

Lin Mo took a deep breath and told himself that the people in the audience were all carrots, and he was just telling a bunch of carrots about his report.

Under this hint, Lin Mo began his report.

"Good morning to all scholars, experts, teachers and classmates."

"I'm glad that everyone can come and listen to my report. My name is Lin Mo, and I am a first-year graduate student at Dongshan University."

[Not from Shuimu University?How can I give a report at Shuimu University? 】

【Dongshan University?Where is that? 】

[He is really a student. 】

"First of all, I would like to introduce to you the overall idea of ​​​​my proof. My idea is this..."

"This is a new mathematical research method that I conceived. I want to use a method to combine number theory problems with topology..."

Lin Mo was demonstrating while talking.

"Using this line of thought, I constructed a topology between two-dimensional and three-dimensional to describe..."

As he spoke, Lin Mo showed the topological structure he constructed.

"Through this structure, with the number sets I established, through functions, connecting relationships, and then..."

As Lin Mo talked, he was completely immersed in it, and all the tension and pressure were forgotten.

Lin Mo talked eloquently on the stage, explaining his proof process step by step in detail.

The audience in the audience also slowly listened.

In order to ensure that everyone can understand and understand, Lin Mo talks in great detail. When encountering difficult questions, he will slow down and try his best to make everyone understand.Under this situation, the originally scheduled two-hour report meeting has exceeded three hours and is not yet over.

No one in the audience raised any objections and listened very seriously.

It wasn't until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Lin Mo finally explained his entire proof process.

"To sum up, we can conclude: take any positive integer, if it is an even number, divide it by 2. If it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, and then repeat this process, the final result will be 1 .”

"At this point, Kratz's conjecture has been proven."

"If there is any inappropriateness, please criticize and correct it."

Lin Mo bowed to the audience and waited for questions and doubts from the audience.

The audience was silent for a while, as if they were digesting Lin Mo's words. After a while, scattered palms rang out in the lecture hall, and then the applause became more and more enthusiastic, until the applause resounded throughout the lecture hall.

[This is really proven, it’s really unbelievable! 】

【Who said no?I originally thought it was only a partial proof, but who knows, they actually proved it completely. 】

[Awesome, awesome, there is another genius in the world of mathematics. 】

Lin Mo waited for a long time, but no one came up to question or ask questions. Just when he didn't know what to do, Qiu Chengtong walked up.

"Very good, Xiaolin. You explained it in great detail. You explained every step of the process thoroughly. I don't have any questions. What about you?"

Qiu Chengtong looked at the experts and scholars in the first three rows.

"No, Mr. Qiu, if you have no problem, then we will have no problem."

Someone said with a smile.

"Hey, what you said is wrong. Being a scholar is not about superstitious authority. Just because I don't have any problems, I can't say that there are no problems. This is not the attitude of doing science and is not seeking truth from facts!"

Qiu Chengtong grimaced.

"Then I wonder if the students behind you have any questions?"

"I have a question!"

someone shouted from behind.

"You said."

"I would like to ask Lin Mo, how old are you this year?"

Uh……

Lin Mo was caught off guard. What's the problem?
"I'm 24 years old."

Lin Mo answered honestly.

"Then I want to ask, how did you come up with such a proof of Kratz's conjecture at such a young age? How did you come up with such an innovative idea?"

"This one……"

Lin Mo scratched his head. What kind of problems were these? He was not prepared at all.

"How to prove it, I can't say. I usually go to the library to read, and I read a lot of books. Maybe I read too many books, and this inspiration sometimes comes out."

"Haha, does that mean that if we, like you, read more books, we can achieve such achievements?"

"This...maybe..."

Lin Mo replied somewhat uncertainly.

"Haha, don't listen to Lin Mo's modesty. You probably don't know that Lin Mo spends more than sixteen or seventeen hours in the library every day, even on rest days. Unless the library is closed, you can always stay in the library. When you see him in the library, in the words of you young people today, he is 996, no, 007. If any of you can do what he does, it is probably only a matter of time before you succeed."

Qiu Chengtong helped Lin Mo get out of the siege.

This is what I heard from Zhang Qihua during the dinner yesterday.

The students below took a deep breath.

Is this too curly?

People who are more talented than you are more difficult than you. God, please leave a way for us mortals to survive!
