Chapter 14 Genius

“I’m here to interview, I want to interview Li Mo teacher from your school.” Wei Xiaonian asked directly, and he was eager to meet the teacher who proved Koraz’s conjecture.

“Li Mo teacher?” Jiao Xuefeng is very unfamiliar with this name, he doesn’t remember this teacher in the school. But it’s normal. Every year, many new teachers are admitted to the school, and not every teacher he knows.

“Wait a minute, I’ll let the Dean of Students get in touch with you,” he picked up the phone, paused, and said. “Why do you want to interview Li Mo teacher, can I know?”

“Do you know the Koraz conjecture?” A strange word popped out of the young reporter’s mouth.

“Koraz conjecture? I don’t know. I’m from the liberal arts.”

“Is teacher Li Mo related to this conjecture?” Jiao Xuefeng frowned. asked.

“The Kollaz conjecture is a mathematical problem. It was proposed in 1927. In 1930, Kollaz of the University of Hamburg, Germany, studied this conjecture, hence the name.” Wei Xiaonian is very Surprised that the high school Principal in front of him didn’t know the Colaz conjecture.

“Li Mo teacher proved him,” he added.

“Teacher Li Mo has solved a problem, so why did you come to interview him?” Jiao Xuefeng did not understand the young reporter’s thinking.

“It’s not really a simple problem.” Wei Xiaonian was very dissatisfied with Jiao’s style of study to define the Koalas conjecture.

“It is a difficult problem that countless mathematicians at home and abroad have not solved in the past 100 years.”

“Goldbach conjecture, you know, they are all unsolved in the world. The mathematical problem.”

Although the Koalas conjecture cannot be on the same level as Goldbach’s conjecture, it is indeed an unsolved problem in the world, and Wei Xiaonian is not wrong to say this in order to elevate its status,

“Goldbach conjecture?” Jiao Xuefeng was shocked and sat up from the sofa. Although he studied liberal arts, he still knew the story of Chen Jingrun and Goldbach’s conjecture.

“Our Meng City First High School has a teacher who solved the “Goldbach Conjecture”.” Jiao Xuefeng couldn’t sit still, this was the major event of Meng City First High School, as the Principal he I don’t even know, it’s so rude. He thought that he must find this Li Mo teacher right away.

He led Wei Xiaonian to the Dean’s Office. Before the Dean could speak, Jiao Xuefeng asked eagerly, “Let teacher Li Mo come.”

“Li Mo teacher?” The Dean’s chubby face looked a little dull.

“Yes, teacher Li Mo, call him and ask him to come right now.” Jiao Xuefeng aggravated his tone, he was not satisfied with the performance of the dean.

“We don’t have a teacher named Li Mo in our school,” the dean of education, seeing Jiao School’s longevity aura, also came back to his senses. explained right away.

“Are you sure?” Jiao Xuefeng’s heart was more than half cold, how could there be no teacher of this “Goldbach” in the school?

“Yes, all the names of teachers in the school are imprinted in my mind” said the Dean of Education and pointed to his fat brain with a fat finger, as if his head was a computer.

Jiao Xuefeng turned his suspicions to reporter Wei Xiaonian.

“Impossible!” Wei Xiaonian took out the copy of the thesis he carried with him, pointed to the cover and said, “Look, it clearly says Li Mo, Class One and Three.”

” But it didn’t say that it was teacher Li Mo, couldn’t it be Li Mo, a student in Class One and Three?” Jiao Xuefeng seemed to see a life-saving straw, Meng City No. 1 High School couldn’t live without Li Mo

“The student wrote This paper is impossible!” Wei Xiaonian glanced at the unprofessional Principal. This paper is logically clear, deconstructed rigorously and concisely, without a single extra sentence. If it is not immersed in mathematics for more than ten years, it is impossible to write it. Such a high level paper.

“You can find out if you ask the head teacher of Class One and Three of Senior High School? Last semester’s Class One and Three of Senior High School should be Class Two and Three of Senior High School.” came up with an idea. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, “School just started today, although school is over now. The school teachers should still be in the office, we will go now.”

Li Mo lowered his head in the head teacher’s office His head stood in front of Teacher Wang, and on his desk was his empty workbook. He has a lot of experience with training now. When the teacher trains you, you just treat it as a song, the teacher is singing, you show an intoxicated expression, and then nod again and again, and soon the teachers will lose Train your desires.

Teacher Wang didn’t know if he was tired or was conquered by Li Mo’s “performance”. Just sitting at the desk drinking tea one by one, ignoring him.

“tsk tsk, that is, the talents from the second and third classes of high school. He didn’t do any homework in the summer vacation, and he is indeed a student of the second and third classes of high school.” A middle-aged woman at the next table despised said.

“Gu teacher, I am educating my students, please don’t intervene, thank you.” Teacher Wang said angrily, it seems that he is still very protective of his students, and only he can criticize his students .

“It is impolite to interject when someone is talking,” he added.

“This is the teacher’s office, Principal, comrade reporter, please come in.” The Dean of Education let the two of them into the office.

“Director Biao Gu. Principal, why are you here?” The sharp-eyed teacher hurriedly greeted him.

The Dean ignored her and went straight to Teacher Wang’s desk. Asked: “Teacher Wang, is there a student named Li Mo in your class?”

“Li Mo. Yes, there is a student named Li Mo in our class, what happened?” Teacher Wang answered over and over again, and glanced at Li Mo with his head down.

“Very good, you invite Li Mo, I have something to ask him.” Principal Jiao suddenly became excited.

“Oh, this is Li Mo.” Teacher Wang pointed at Li Mo next to him. He saw Principal’s happy look, and it wasn’t a bad thing to think about.

“You are Li Mo? Li Mo from the second and third class of senior high school?”

“Did you submit a manuscript to the “Mathematics Monthly” called “On” For each positive integer, if it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1, if it is even, divide it by 2, and so on, and finally get 1. “The conclusion is established.”. Principal cross-examined, Wei Xiaonian rushed forward and asked.

Wei Xiaonian’s firecracker-like speech speed and uncommon mathematical terms confuse the people next to him.

“Yes, I submitted a manuscript to “Mathematics Monthly” a few days ago, but I haven’t received the sample manuscript.” Li Mo came back to his senses, thinking that the paper was published.

“Really you?” Wei Xiaonian showed an unbelievable expression.

“It should be. It’s really me.” Is this still pretending? Li Mo didn’t understand the exaggerated expression of the riding suit in front of him.

“In the paper, n+(n+1)/2 is an odd number, ×2+×1+1 2n+n+1+n+(n+1)/2+1 is an even number, divided by 2 What is behind 2n+1+(n+1)/4” Wei Xiaonian has studied the paper in depth, and he thinks this is the essence of the paper.

“Continue two cases, even number, odd number, cycle ①, ② for even number, (the number is decreasing when even number anyway), until 2n+1+(n+1)/4 is an odd number. Transform to n+(n+1)+(n+1)/4, because: n is an odd number, n+1 is an even number, and there is only one (n+1)/4 that is an even number, and n+n+ Only 1+(n+1)/4 can be an odd number.” Li Mo replied without thinking, “Do you want to continue, there are many more to come.”

“It’s really you!” Wei Xiaonian Excited speechless, “No, I have to call the editor-in-chief first, I found Li Mo.” Then he took out his mobile phone and walked out, leaving behind a few people who looked at each other in blank dismay.

“You solved the Colaz conjecture?” Teacher Wang could put a duck’s egg in his mouth, and he understood what the reporter said.

“It should be, I proved that topic, then wrote a paper and sent it to “Mathematics Monthly”.” Li Mo said calmly, he now knows who these people are. Came for that paper.
