From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 93 The problem is not me, but the world
"Are you done again?"

After receiving Zhang Qihua's call, Tian Fang rushed to the Mathematics Research Center in a hurry and looked at Lin Mo in disbelief.

Lin Mo nodded.

"Yes, Director, but this time it is thanks to Professor Lu Xiaoyan Lu. If it weren't for her help, we would not have been able to complete the research on the Fourier transform restriction problem so smoothly."

"No, no, no, this is all your credit. I didn't actually help. I just put forward a few ideas..."

Lu Xiaoyan's voice weakened as he spoke, and she still hasn't regained her composure.

She has invested a lot of experience and made many attempts in the study of the Fourier transform restriction problem, but there has been no progress. However, she thought that in less than a week since she came to the Mathematics Research Center, she has been troubling herself. Was the problem solved so easily?
Lu Xiaoyan felt like he was in a dream.

But the research she had discussed with Lin Mo in the past few days was real. The research on Fourier transform was indeed completed during her discussions with Lin Mo, and the Lin-Lu equation was indeed constructed by the two of them. from.

Lu Xiaoyan was confused by this contradictory feeling that everything was happening for real, but yet it made people feel unreal.

She suddenly remembered her meeting with Bill Carr before she came to Dongshan.

"Kaucher, I heard that you went to Dongshan University to find Lin Mo? How was it? What did you gain?"

"Harvest? The harvest is huge. You may not believe it when I tell you. In the past few days at Dongshan University, Lin Mo and I actually solved a major problem. No, no, no. To be precise, I think Lin Mo's contribution is greater. I It’s just a privilege to be a part of it.”

"Furthermore, I feel that my thinking has become much more active at Dongshan University. I feel like I am bursting with inspiration... I have never done such smooth research..."

When he said this, Birkar couldn't hide the excitement and joy on his face.

"what reason?"

"Environment? Atmosphere? The office environment of their mathematics research center is really good. It makes people very relaxed. It allows people to devote themselves to research without any worries without thinking about anything else."

"If our Shuimu University had such a research environment, well, I would have to find Qiu, and the office conditions of our mathematics center would also have to be improved. But..."

"However, I think the most important factor is the person, Lin Mo. When doing research with him, I feel that I don't have to worry about getting stuck in the research. With him, it seems that all the difficult problems can be solved. This feeling of being solved easily..."

"You may not understand. Okay, let's not talk anymore. I have to find Qiu. I have to lure Lin Mo to Shuimu University!"

After speaking, Birkar left in a hurry with excitement and excitement on his face.

At that time, Lu Xiaoyan expressed doubts and incomprehension about Birkar's words.

Through the last dinner, Lin Mo gave Lu Xiaoyan the feeling that a young man who is very talented in mathematics and has an online EQ has indeed made achievements beyond ordinary people through his talent.

But that was all. She had seen a lot of geniuses. At Shuimu University, the most indispensable thing was geniuses, including herself, a 29-year-old full professor, who had published several papers in top journals, and was considered a genius in the eyes of others.

So although Lu Xiaoyan thought that Lin Mo was indeed good, when he heard what Bill Carr said, he just thought that Lin Mo had a high emotional intelligence and didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into Bill Carr to make Bill Carr praise him so much.

Lu Xiaoyan only thought that Bill Carr was exaggerating.

But now...

Lu Xiaoyan found that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.After discussing with Lin Mo, Lu Xiaoyan felt that Birkar's words were not exaggerated, but rather conservative.

This is not doing research. It is just like doing exercises in class. If it has to be difficult, it is at most the same as solving the Mathematical Olympiad problem in school. It is difficult, but not much. As long as you use your brain, you can solve it. .

When did mathematical research become so simple?

Lu Xiaoyan felt that his academic outlook was about to be subverted.

Especially seeing the state of other people in the Mathematics Research Center, Lu Xiaoyan felt that he was the exception.

Needless to say, Lin Mo's expression and emotions did not change much during the rest of the research period, except when he completed the research, which showed a hint of excitement and joy on his face.

Zhang Qihua, the deputy director of the center, did not do any research every day. Most of the time, he was either immersed in the office writing reports, organizing records of Lin Mo's research, and preparing meals for everyone.

Zhang Qihua, the deputy director, feels more like the center's butler. He takes care of everything except research and takes good care of everyone.

Lu Xiaoyan basically only needs to devote his energy to research, and Zhang Qihua has taken care of the rest.

For example, three meals are set and arranged according to her preferences. When she is hungry, there are a variety of rich snacks. Tea, drinks, and coffee will be delivered to her just by shouting. When she is tired, Zhang Qihua will thoughtfully push her for a massage. chair.

It was a completely personal five-star service. Lu Xiaoyan felt that after being here for a week, he felt a little unhappy.I even think that this is how research should be done.

It is no wonder that Birkar said that Dongshan University has a good office environment.

only……

Lu Xiaoyan pinched a trace of fat on her waist. She felt that the only disadvantage of working in such an environment was to stay in shape.

This really corresponds to what Mr. Lu said: Life is too good, and work (body) and talent (material) will be burdened by life.

Lu Xun: Don’t change my words blindly. I never said this.

There are also her classmates, alumni, best friends, and the only other researcher at the Mathematics Research Center of Dongshan University. It took them less than a week to solve the Fourier transform restriction problem without any Expressing the slightest bit of surprise and surprise, it seemed natural. Lu Xiaoyan asked, was he really the one making the fuss?

But considering Shan Gang's carefree personality and his big heart that always lacks follow-up, it's normal to have such a reaction.

Because Shan Gang cannot be treated as a normal person.

If Shan Gang had known Lu Xiaoyan's thoughts, he would have said loudly, "That's not the case. I was just like you at the beginning, but..."

It's numb now...

Until Lu Xiaoyan saw the expression of Tian Fangyi, director of the Mathematics Research Center, Lu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally something is certain.

Lu Xiaoyan: It seems that it is not my problem. The problem is not me, but the world!
