From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Chapter 138 He is close to the truth!

The day passed quickly.

Lin Xiao slept for a full twelve hours. The next day, he felt the world coming from a brain development level of 4.35%.

He seemed to be able to feel 'nature' caressing him at all times.

This state made him feel that he could easily solve a lot of problems he had encountered.

Of course, this is just his subjective feeling, and it cannot really affect objective reality. Situations like the one in "Super Body" basically do not exist. Consciousness directly affects reality, but there is nothing related to it. Science can prove this.

At this time, his stomach rang. He only ate a little bit yesterday, which was obviously not enough. He was already very hungry at this time.

So without further ado, I immediately went downstairs and had a meal in the restaurant downstairs. Fortunately, French food, as one of the three major cuisines in the world, is quite good, at least it is not a food desert like the UK.

After eating, he accepted an interview with the reporters. The main questions of the interview were whether he had proved Goldbach's conjecture and related issues.

After the interview, Lin Xiao reminded: "By the way, don't rush to say that I have completed the proof. The final success still needs to go through peer review."

Although it has been approved by the system, the Goldbach's conjecture he proved is obviously no longer problematic, but as a young man, it is better to take some things slowly.

"Don't worry about that." The three CCTV reporters all smiled and nodded.

They just ensured that they were the first media to interview Lin Xiao. Once it was confirmed that Lin Xiao had completed the proof, they would be the first to publish it.

"That's good."

Lin Xiao nodded and thought no more.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang.

I looked at the phone number and saw it was Professor Wiles'.

After answering the phone, he smiled and said, "Professor Wiles, why are you in the mood to call me?"

"Of course it's about Goldbach's conjecture." Wiles said: "I learned from several reporters from China that you completed the proof yesterday, but I think you may need to take a good rest. , so I called you now, and I want to ask, is this true?"

"It's true." Lin Xiao said, "I will post the paper on arxiv tonight, and you should be able to see it tomorrow."

"I'm already looking forward to it. I wish you success." Wiles said, "By the way, where are you going to report?"

"Report?" Lin Xiao was stunned. He had not considered this matter before.

However, for such an important result as proving Goldbach's conjecture, a report for all mathematicians is inevitable.

Then, Lin Xiao said with a smile: "I will return to China tomorrow, so I choose to study in my motherland and my school."

"Okay, I should have guessed your choice." Wiles sighed, "I would prefer you to be at Oxford University, even in Paris, but thinking about it, it is obvious that you can achieve such important results in It’s more appropriate to report from where you live.”

"Yes."

"Then, I'm looking forward to the day when you give the report."

"Thanks."

Lin Xiao said.

Although he had stayed in France for the past few days, he felt the pure academic atmosphere here and felt very comfortable staying here. That day in the rotunda of the Poincaré Institute, so many people came together for him to overcome this problem. Qi cheered for him.

But this is a foreign land after all.

Although there are many bad places in my own country, there are also many good places, not to mention that it is my hometown after all.

He stopped thinking about it and hung up the phone.

Next, he began to organize all his theories and published the paper on arxiv.

The next day, it was time to go home.

I got on the flight back to my motherland with Xu Ji, Xiao Zhou, and Xiao Shi. The flight took about eleven hours.

When he landed, the mathematics community was probably already in a state of excitement.

…

Time passed in a blink of an eye and came to the next day.

UCLA, California, USA.

At this time, Tao Zhexuan was sitting in his office, drinking coffee and surfing the Internet.

In the office, his graduate students were discussing.

"Wow, this photo is so handsome."

"Yes, the angle of this capture is great!"

Hearing what the students discussed, Terence Tao couldn't help but become curious.

Although all his interests are in mathematics, he is also interested in the things that young people are interested in. When he was still studying for a master's degree, he failed the exam because of taking "Civilization".

"What are you talking about?" he asked with a smile.

When several students heard the professor's question, they all smiled and said, "Professor, it was about Lin two days ago. Someone shared a photo on Facebook. It's very nice!"

"Oh? Lin?"

This time, Terence Tao became even more interested.

Of course, he also knew about Lin Xiao's deeds in the past few days. He learned that Lin Xiao seemed to have caught an inspiration on the way to conquer Goldbach's conjecture, so he has been paying attention to related news these days, such as arxiv, as long as After Lin Xiao sent the paper, he would be notified immediately.

"Professor, look."

Seeing that the professor was interested, several graduate students naturally stepped forward and showed the photo to Terence Tao.

Tao Zhexuan took a look and couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite design of this photo.

In the picture, in a venue with a somewhat historical atmosphere, hundreds of other people are talking about it. Everyone has their eyes on the row in the front left of the venue. The place where everyone's eyes intersect is the only person in the audience who has his head lowered. There is a young man writing something on his head. This young man seems to be in sharp contrast to the noise present.

The name of this photo is "He is Approaching the Truth".

"Wonderful!"

Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but admire it.

This is indeed a great photo, and the number of likes on this photo has reached tens of thousands, and there are thousands of comments. Looking at the release time, it has only been an hour.

Probably, many people hope that they can be the protagonist in this photo, right?

At this time, a graduate student next to him asked: "Professor, do you think he can prove Goldbach's conjecture?"

"Wait, maybe there will be news in a few days?"

After Tao Zhexuan finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at his computer. Suddenly, he saw a notification received on his arxiv.

Followed users posted articles.

He raised his eyebrows and quickly opened the notification. Sure enough, it was posted by "XiaoLin"!

The paper published by Lin Xiao is titled "Any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers."

This is exactly the modern statement of Goldbach's conjecture!

Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. Did the young Chinese man who communicated with him about this problem two months ago actually prove this problem now?

"Professor, what's wrong?"

His graduate students couldn't help but ask when they saw Terence Teru suddenly fixating his eyes on the computer.

"Lin, it may have been proven."

Tao Zhexuan's answer stunned several graduate students.

Tao Zhexuan didn't say anything to his students, but downloaded the paper.

After he refreshed it, he found that the number of downloads of this paper exceeded ten.

Apparently, a lot of people are paying attention, too.

However, Tao Zhexuan did not pay attention to these things, but read the paper.

His graduate students saw that the professor had become serious, so of course they did not bother him.

In this way, time passed slowly.

Tao Zhexuan read the paper for a full four hours before basically finishing it.

But at this time he had to express shock in his heart.
