Including the Q&A time, this report lasted for five days.
Until the last day, no one was able to find a fatal error in the entire process of argument that could overthrow the entire theory.
So far, it seemed that Lu Zhou had answered all of the questions.
As for the result, there was naturally no suspense at all.
In a conference room borrowed from Jin Ling University, under the chairmanship of the International Mathematical Union, Professor Sen Chongwen, a twelve-member review committee would give their final review opinions.
Even though they couldn't represent the views of the entire mathematics community, they could at least represent the views of the International Mathematical Union.
Professor Sen Chongwen stood up and spoke in a solemn tone.
"Everyone, this is the first time since the millennium that we have faced such an important decision.
"I hope you can swear on your faith, your family name, and your honor that we will cast an honest vote.
"Then, let's vote."
The vote was secret.
If there was one vote against, the International Mathematical Union would carefully reconsider whether or not to accept this result.
Time slowly passed by. The clock on the wall had reached its peak of two minutes.
When everyone checked their answers on a piece of paper that looked like a letter and signed their names on it, the conference staff took back the answers in everyone's hands in turn.
The votes were tallied up, and Professor Holden, the secretary-general of the International Mathematical Union, was in charge of announcing the votes.
After the votes came out, Professor Sen Chongwen's mouth was wide open. He stood there motionlessly and was speechless.
After a long time, he raised his skinny fingers and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose as he spoke in a trembling voice.
"… This is definitely a moment that will go down in history."
At this moment, the international mathematics community didn't just gain the Grand Unified Theory.
They also gained the standard conjectures that were proved by the Grand Unified Theory!
Even if he flipped through the entire history of mathematics, he wouldn't be able to find another day where he had a bigger harvest than today …
At this point, the work of the review committee came to an end.
There were a total of twelve reviewers commissioned by the International Mathematical Union. Other than the two hesitant reviewers who abstained, the other ten reviewers unanimously voted in favor.
This was the highest recognition from the mathematics community.
There was not a single vote against it.
From this moment onward, the Grand Unified Theory would be officially accepted by the academic community as an advanced theory.
In the conference hall of Jin Ling University, Professor Holden, the secretary-general of the International Mathematical Union, solemnly announced the result in front of all the scholars who came to Jin Ling to participate in this report.
The entire world was in an uproar …
…
After nearly a week, this report on the Grand Unified Theory finally came to an end.
While the reporters from all over the world flocked to Jin Ling University, the scholars who came to participate in this report had already begun to leave.
At the entrance of Jin Ling University, Lu Zhou sent his supervisor, Professor Deligné.
In fact, he originally wanted to send them to the airport, but when he heard Professor Deligne say that they had already booked a car, he didn't insist.
Professor Deligne looked at his former student and had a rare look of approval on his face.
Before parting, he thought for a moment and said.
"I never thought that I would be able to see the proof of the standard conjecture in my lifetime. You have once again surprised me and brought everyone an unexpected surprise."
Lu Zhou smiled modestly.
"It's my pleasure to surprise you."
"I should say that it is my honor to be able to witness this moment." After a pause, Deligné reached out and patted Lu Zhou's arm twice, giving him an encouraging look. "Congratulations, I hope you can create even greater glory in the future."
"There is still a long way to go in the future."
Professor Deligné carried his suitcase and walked toward the black Mercedes-Benz waiting at the door.
Not far away, Professor Faltings looked over and stopped for a while as if he was thinking about something. Schulz, who was standing next to him, glanced at the old man and asked.
"Aren't we going to say goodbye?"
"You go, I'm not going, I have to catch a plane." Professor Faltings raised his arm and looked at the time on his watch. He then dragged his suitcase and walked to the side of the road.
Schulz had a helpless expression on his face. He waved at Lu Zhou as a farewell gesture.
Lu Zhou smiled and waved his hand. He mouthed a wish for a safe trip and watched his friends get into their cars. They disappeared at the end of the road before he turned around and walked toward the school gate.
However, when he was about to cross the school gate, he heard a shout from behind him.
"Professor Lu! Wait a second! "
Lu Zhou stopped walking and turned around. He was surprised to see the person who stopped him.
"Professor Carlson? What a coincidence, you're here too? "
Professor Carlson couldn't help but say, "How could I be absent from such an important meeting … Jesus Christ, you didn't even notice me, I'm so sad!"
Lu Zhou smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. He coughed and changed the topic.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is something the matter?"
"Yeah … There's something I need to trouble you with. But I promise, it's a good thing! "
Professor Carlson took a deep breath and cleared his throat. He spoke in a solemn tone.
"About two months ago, we consulted the International Mathematical Union on the proof of the Riemann conjecture. Their opinion was that you have undoubtedly proved this century's problem … You know, we set up a US $1 million prize for the Millennium Prize Problems speech, which was awarded by the Institut de France …"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Got it. I'll find some time to go."
"Of course, if you really don't want to come, you can donate it to …" Professor Carlson suddenly froze. He looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief and thought he heard wrong. "What? What did you just say? "
Lu Zhou looked at him strangely and spoke.
"I'll go, is there a problem?"
Professor Carlson looked at Lu Zhou and shook his head.
"No … I'm just surprised."
"What's so surprising about that?" Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head. He paused for a second and said, "But it depends on my schedule. After all, I'm not always free. I'll probably go at the beginning of next year, or at the end of the year. "
If everything went according to plan, the Cadarache fusion power station in France would ignite before the end of next year.
As the second nuclear core exported by China to the international market, he would most likely go with the diplomatic team.
Of course, this depended on whether he was busy or not.
If he was too busy, he might ask someone else to go for him.
But if everything went according to plan, he would go by himself.
After all, there was still a relic from the Pope of the last century waiting for him to excavate.
Professor Carlson didn't expect Lu Zhou to be so easy to talk to, so he was overjoyed.
"No problem! Just send me an email a month in advance! "
