The group of bigwigs looked at each other again, and then asked in unison: "Who proved it? Is it Professor Zhang Wei from Huaguo?"

  However, the assistant shook his head, "Michael Attia!"

  "Michael Attia?"

  All the mathematicians at the scene couldn't help exclaiming at the same time. .

Chapter 267, Confrontation

  Michael Attia, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Britain, is a double winner of the Phil Medal and the Abel Prize, two of the top prizes for mathematicians.He was also knighted by the Royal British.

  When he was young, he made a lot of achievements in the field of mathematics. However, as he grew older, his achievements in the academic field began to gradually decrease, and the quality of papers in recent years has plummeted.

  But the math community still respects the former hero.

  So when he announced that he had proved the Riemann conjecture, the assistants of the Mathematicians Association would be extremely excited to acquiesce to the fact that he succeeded.

 "Two-five-three" However, all of the people present were top mathematicians, among which Edward Witten had been under the tutelage of Michael Attia.

  They know very well that mathematics is an extremely cruel subject, and in this field, age has never been a capital.

  On the contrary, with the growth of age, countless once wise and keen mathematicians will lose to the years.

  Even Einstein, who once glorified the entire scientist, was no exception, and Michael Attia was not spared either.

  So when I heard that he proved the Riemann conjecture, everyone present gave up hope.

  It's just that they couldn't say it for a while.

  This is respect for this former hero, and it is also because they know very well that everyone will grow old one day. At this age, they can still struggle in the front line of mathematical research, which is already precious.

  However, they understand that it does not mean that the outside world also understands this truth.

  For example, the media who want to make a big news, they still fantasize about the legend of the immortal hero.

  Moreover, in the context of the sudden emergence of a large number of Chinese mathematicians among mathematicians, they also urgently need a stable result to re-prove the authority of Western academia.

  So, Michael Attia is naturally portrayed as a hero.

  He is not only a hero who conquers the peak of mathematics, but also a hero who defends Western academic authority.

  In such an atmosphere, when Zhang Wei's plane landed at the Boston airport in the United States, countless reporters carrying long guns and short cannons surrounded the terminal building.

  Zhang Wei, who was waiting for Harvard University to come to pick him up, was directly surrounded by a group.

  Countless flashes at a time are almost blinding people's eyes.

  "Professor Zhang, do you know that Sir Michael Attia has just announced that he has proved the Riemann conjecture?"

  Zhang Wei, who just got off the plane, naturally shook his head.

  Immediately, the reporters asked: "So which do you think is more significant, the Riemann conjecture or the NS equation?"

  Zhang Wei...If I say that the NS equation is more important, will I be instantly scolded as shameless?No numbers?

  After hesitating for a while, Zhang Wei decided to wait and see what happened. After all, arguing is very tiring.

  "The Riemann conjecture is the most important conjecture in mathematics today, there is no doubt about it."

  Hearing Zhang Wei's answer, the reporters at the scene were all excited, "So do you think you are good enough compared to Michael Attia who proved Riemann's conjecture?"

  Zhang Wei..."Emmm, whether I'm good or not has nothing to do with Michael Attia?"

  This answer can't help but let the reporters on the scene stagnate. Indeed, whether Zhang Weiyou is excellent has nothing to do with Michael Attia.  …

  Seeing that these reporters stopped talking, Zhang Wei continued: "And the Riemann conjecture is indeed very great, but it will take a long time to verify whether the proof of a conjecture is valid."

  Hearing this question, the reporter at the scene suddenly exploded, "You mean, don't you believe that Sir Michael Attia has proved the Riemann conjecture?"

  For this question, Zhang Wei spread his hands, "Did the Michael Attia you mentioned really prove the Riemann conjecture? I can't draw a conclusion without reading the paper, but what I want to say is that no matter who it is, If you want to prove whether your paper is correct or not, you must pass the review.”

  "So, do you think Sir Michael Attia would make fun of his academic reputation from 3.9?"

  Zhang Wei waved his hand again: "That's not true. I'm just telling you the criteria for the establishment of the paper in a realistic manner."

  However, the reporter ignored his answer at all and wrote it according to his own thoughts.

  At this time, the staff just cleared the road for him, and Zhang Wei left with Zhang Yingxue.

  As for what these reporters will write, he is too lazy to care.

  After all, he has already lowered his posture like this, and if he writes nonsense again, then don't blame him for scolding people. .

Chapter 268 This is also called proof?

  Just after Zhang Wei and others broke out of the siege and got into the special car that came to pick up the plane, Qiu Chengtong's phone just rang.

  Qiu Chengtong glanced at the number and immediately picked it up.

  "Qiu, you can count on it."

  On the other end of the phone, Deligne shouted impatiently.

  Qiu Chengtong blinked and asked, "Deligne, do you have something to do with me?"

  Deligne replied immediately: "Yes, we want to ask you something, that is, what topic is Professor Zhang going to talk about in his speech?"

  Hearing this question, Qiu Chengtong couldn't help looking at Zhang Wei, "Professor Zhang, the members of the Mathematicians Association want to ask you about the topic you are going to lecture at Harvard, can I tell them?"

  Zhang Wei nodded indifferently when he heard the words, "Just talk about it, it's not a big deal."

  When Qiu Chengtong heard the words, he immediately said: "Professor Zhang is currently preparing two topics, one is the proof of gravitational waves, and the other is the Riemann conjecture!"

  "Riemann conjecture?"

  At this moment, in the Mathematician Association, all the bigwigs couldn't help exclaiming in unison.

  For them, the proof of gravitational waves is equally significant, but compared with the Riemann conjecture, it has no sense of existence.

  And they just heard another person publicize that they had proved the Riemann conjecture not long ago, and they couldn't help but be more excited at this time.

  "It is indeed the Riemann conjecture, but Professor Zhang has decided to talk about the proof of gravitational waves before."

  Hearing this, Deligne and the others immediately panicked.

  "Don't, why do you want gravitational waves? Compared with gravitational waves, the Riemann conjecture is undoubtedly more meaningful!"

  However, even Qiu Chengtong, a mathematician, disagrees with this statement.

  Are you kidding me?Will gravitational waves be the last piece of the puzzle in Einstein's general theory of relativity?

  It can be said that as long as Zhang Wei really proves his theory, there is no doubt that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics belongs to him.

  From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that the significance of the gravitational wave proof is not inferior to the Riemann conjecture, and even better in terms of popularity.

  But Qiu Chengtong is not stupid enough to argue with a group of mathematicians which is more important, the Riemann conjecture or gravitational waves.

  So he immediately changed the subject and said, "I just heard that Michael Attia claimed to have proved the Riemann conjecture?"

  Hearing this question, the other end of the phone fell silent.

  After a long time, Michael Attia's disciple Edward Witten said: "At his age, he still has the courage to challenge this kind of problem, which is already precious. As for whether it can really prove Riemann Guess, this actually doesn't need too much discussion, as long as the old man is happy."

  Although this sentence is not explicitly stated, it actually clearly shows the attitude.

  Qiu Chengtong couldn't help laughing bitterly for a while. In fact, his first reaction when he heard the news was too much disbelief.However, out of respect for the senior, he did not question it on the spot.

  But seeing those reporters chattering and questioning Zhang Wei with his own eyes, he always felt that the follow-up of the matter might be very discordant.

  It's just that he is sitting opposite Zhang Wei at this time, and he can't tell Deligne and others about this.

  However, some things are doomed to be avoided. At this moment, Deligne said speechlessly: "Guys, just now, Sir Michael Attia's proof paper has been handed over to the International Association of Mathematicians, Sir He hopes to hold a conference of mathematicians and present his proof in public."

  Hearing this, the Mathematicians' Association immediately froze. This is something that offends people. To be honest, none of them is willing to be this villain.

  However, Zhang Wei spoke up at this time, "Lao Qiu, please ask them to send me the other party's paper. I suddenly want to see it."

  In fact, Zhang Wei has a hunch that this time he will be asked this question on his trip to the United States.

  So instead of being constantly questioned, it is better to solve it directly once and for all.

  When Qiu Chengtong heard this, he could only convey his meaning to Deligne.

  Deligne and the others couldn't help looking at each other, and then they sent the paper to Zhang Wei.

  Soon, Zhang Yingxue's cell phone dinged.

  Zhang Yingxue immediately opened the mailbox at 843 and opened the latest email to Zhang Wei.

  Taking over the phone, Zhang Wei swiped the screen a few times, and then couldn't help rolling his eyes.

  "What is Michael Attia sick?"

  Hearing this evaluation, Qiu Chengtong couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

  Immediately he asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the paper?"

  Zhang Wei threw his mobile phone to him, "Can this be called a paper? The Riemann conjecture can still be proved by counter-evidence? Did he want to laugh at me? And the theory of constant prime numbers he quoted was not valid at all, and that quantum physics There are also problems with the theory of Riemann, and he dares to say that he has proved the Riemann conjecture? Where did he get the courage?"

  Qiu Chengtong smiled bitterly, the ghost knows where the other party's courage came from!

  The Riemann conjecture can be called the most important conjecture in this century, but how can it be proved casually?

  But then he thought of Zhang Wei again, probably the one in front of him, who can really easily prove this conjecture. .

Chapter 269, I'm going to fight

  Soon, the special car of Zhang Wei and his party came to Harvard University, but the school gate was once again captured by reporters.

  At a glance, there are reporters carrying long guns and short cannons everywhere.

  Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Are these people finished?

  Qiu Chengtong can only smile bitterly. In the United States, reporters are quite difficult to deal with. These people can even stab the Watergate incident. What else are they afraid to do?

  Immediately he could only say to Zhang Wei: "Professor Zhang bear with me for a while, they won't be able to follow after entering the school."

  Looking at the situation outside the window, Zhang Wei was very skeptical of his statement. Judging from the current situation, these reporters did not seem to dare to break into the school.

  After thinking for a while, he simply opened the car door and strode down.

  In an instant, countless reporters discovered him, and they rushed in like a tide.
