From all-round academic master to chief scientist

[The most outstanding talents recognized by my country’s Nobel Prize in Physics]

[Lin Xiao: The light of education in China! 】

[Yang Zhenning: Lin Xiao can fill the talent gap for China]

…

As Mr. Yang's speech at Beijing University ended, all major media in China reported on the content of his speech, and the fact that he believed Lin Xiao was the most outstanding young man at the moment spread throughout China. country.

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at Mr. Yang's optimism for Lin Xiao.

He actually made such a high evaluation of Lin Xiao, which really surprised everyone.

But that is Mr. Yang after all, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics. Among all physicists, his status can be ranked in the second row in history, second only to the first row of physicists such as Newton and Einstein. .

There must be a reason why he can make such a high evaluation.

At this moment, the Internet has once again sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"I was wondering why Lin Shen disappeared in September. It turned out that he planned to make a big wave in October."

"I unconditionally agree with Mr. Yang's words. Lin Shen is indeed too strong, and now he has started to study the field of applied mathematics again."

""Applied Mathematics Letters" is amazing. If I can publish a paper on it, I will go directly to 985 to become a professor."

"Is Lin Shen's name originally Lin Xiao?" I thought his name was Lin Shen.」

"You fake fan, you don't even know God Lin's name"

"Mr. Yang's evaluation is very accurate. Judging from Lin Xiao's achievements at this age, I guess there is no one in the world who can compare. I hope he can continue to work hard (struggle) (struggle)"

…

Most netizens have expressed a positive attitude. After all, no matter what, Lin Xiao's performance is enough to conquer most people, and most people believe that Lin Xiao is worthy of Mr. Yang's affirmation.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will express disdain for this.

"How can an eighteen-year-old have such a high opinion?" Be careful of getting slapped in the face in a few years.』

"I think everything else is fine, but Mr. Yang thinks Lin Xiao can make achievements in high-energy physics in the future?" Don’t be kidding, it’s enough for a person to develop in one major, and it spans so many disciplines.』

"To receive so many compliments at such a young age, who knows if it will grow in the future..."

…

Although these replies can be seen occasionally, compared with the approval of most people, they seem to be too quiet.

These topics on the Internet were obviously a bit unexpected for Lin Xiao. He did not expect that he could get so much attention after just attending a speech. He could not help but sigh at Mr. Yang's influence.

Naturally, some media wanted to interview him afterwards, but he rejected them all. No matter what, he did not want these things to disturb his life.

So every day for the next day, he still carried out his own research. Of course, he also spent a lot of time learning French every day.

As for the research on the subject, since he solved the problem, the subject has entered a rapid progress process. Basically, there is nothing for him to do, and he is happy and relaxed.

In addition, after the lecture that day, Professor Xu Ji asked him if he wanted to exempt those courses that could not be exempted, because the principal directly approved it, allowing him to make an exception and leave more time for him. time to research your own topic.

Of course, Lin Xiao was happy to accept this, so that he could spend more time on research.

However, in this situation, it seems that he has entered the postgraduate state in advance. Graduate students are not like him, who do nothing but research every day.

In this way, time passed slowly.

"Hmm...Does the academic community generally believe that the screening method has lost its prominence?"

In the bedroom in Yanbeiyuan, Lin Xiao was leaning on the bed, holding a tablet in his hand and looking at an internationally renowned mathematics forum, mathoverflow. This is considered the most professional website in mathematics. You may see Princeton University’s website on it. Mathematics professors share their knowledge on it, and you may also see a Fields Medal winner become a frequent visitor. If what you publish is insightful, you may even be able to have a cordial exchange with the Fields Medal winner.

At this time, Lin Xiao was watching the discussion about Goldbach's conjecture.

The sieve method is a method used in the study of prime numbers. For example, Chen Jingrun used the sieve method when he proved "1+2".

However, many discussants said that using the sieve method alone to solve Goldbach's conjecture is no longer enough. Chen Jingrun has used the sieve method to its limit. If he wants to make a breakthrough in Goldbach's conjecture, he must find another way. .

For example, the proof of the weak Goldbach conjecture is the comprehensive use of methods such as the circle method, the sieve method, and the exponential method.

However, at this time, he saw a person's online name called Terence-Tao.

Lin Xiao was stunned when he saw this name.

"Terence-Tao?"

This name... seems to be Terence Tao?

Many people in the mathematics community know about Terence Tao. As a genius in mathematics, he participated in IMO for three years from the age of 10 to 12, and won three bronze, silver and gold medals respectively, so much so that he seemed to be setting records. He became the youngest winner of all three medals.

And after he gradually grew up, he did not lose sight of others at all, but continued to achieve his own breakthroughs, and then won the Fields Medal at the age of thirty-one, which can be said to be a very strong record.

Similarly, Terence Tao has also made contributions to Goldbach's conjecture. In 2012, he proved the conjecture that odd numbers can be written as the sum of five prime numbers, so it is not surprising to see his comments here.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but become interested. The comments of this mathematician must have some value.

After looking at the release time, he saw that it was posted a month ago, not very early, so he looked at Terence Tao's comments.

"I think the sieving method can still be used. Here is a simple idea:

{{1 ≤m ≤i : p |m s}: s ∈{0, r}}……』

"Huh? It's really interesting..."

After a brief look, Lin Xiao became interested. He walked from the bed to the table, took out a pen and paper and started doing calculations.

But just before he entered the immersive state, he suddenly heard the doorbell ringing from outside.

"who?"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel confused.

He didn't know many people in Shangjing, so how could someone come looking for him?

So he put down his pen temporarily and went to the door and opened it.

There was a little girl and an old man standing outside.

The girl who discovered Mimi with him downstairs was the one who lived upstairs.

When she saw Lin Xiao open the door, she said happily: "Brother! I'm here to see the cat! This is my grandpa."

Then she looked into the room, obviously looking for Mimi.

Seeing the little girl like this, Lin Xiao naturally did not refuse, opened the door and said, "Then come in."

However, the little girl's grandfather suddenly said: "Are you Lin Xiao?"

Lin Xiao was stunned, "Who are you?"

"Professor from the School of Physics at Peking University, Zheng Ren, teaches high energy physics." The old man was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that we actually live in the same building. I saw you in Mr. Yang's speech yesterday. You are young and have a lot of potential.”

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "It turns out to be Professor Zheng. Thank you for your compliment. Please come in first."

"Okay, I'll excuse you then." Zheng Ren smiled and nodded.

Please give me a monthly pass.
