He closed the characteristic panel and it was time for the exciting lucky draw.
This time, Lu Zhou did not want to say anything.
This was because he realized that regardless of whether he was healing or not, this stupid system would never do as he wished.
Calm down.
Forget about the blueprint, it's impossible to get the 2% technology branch.
I haven't even drunk Sprite yet, should I get a bottle of Fanta?
Lu Zhou thought about this and chose the lucky draw.
The roulette spun so fast that it was hard to see its trajectory.
"Stop!"
The roulette spun a few dozen times before it finally stopped.
[Congratulations, User, sample won!]
Lu Zhou:?!
The f * ck?
What the f * ck!
It's not garbage anymore?
Wait a minute, don't be in such a rush!
Lu Zhou quickly stopped his delusional thoughts. He stared at the semi-transparent screen and nervously waited for the second dialog box to pop up.
[Sample received: Focus capsules (* 30)]
When Lu Zhou saw this line of words, he sighed in relief. It felt like a stone had been lifted from his heart.
Focus capsules were good, much better than Sprite and Coke.
Coincidentally, he planned on majoring in physics for his second degree.
But this way, he would have to work hard again …
Lu Zhou turned off the lucky draw interface and looked at the mission panel. However, he hesitated when he was about to click on it.
Wait a minute, I'm about to go back to China. What if I open a reward mission here and the mission conditions are related to Princeton?
Normally speaking, missions issued by the system would take a long time.
Lu Zhou hesitated for a bit before he decided to wait until after Chinese New Year to receive this reward mission.
No matter what, I still have to celebrate Chinese New Year.
He exited the system space.
There was still some time before he went to bed. Lu Zhou took out his laptop from his suitcase, turned on the lamp on the table, and began to edit his thesis.
Number theory was like a piece of paper that was covered with a layer of paper. It looked blurry, but it was within reach. If he could not see through it, it would be like there was a mountain between them. It might seem close, but it was so far away.
The proof idea was deeply imprinted in his mind.
The restoration at this moment was just a matter of time.
His hands trembled slightly as he typed. He looked at the mathematical symbols that popped up on the screen like burning musical notes. Everything seemed to have returned to that lecture, that silent and impassioned report.
He would never forget that moment of glory for the rest of his life.
Lu Zhou took a deep breath, stopped typing on the keyboard, and got up to make himself a cup of coffee. He walked to the window and stood there, quietly looking outside.
Palmer Square was still brightly lit at night, forming a sharp contrast with Princeton University in the distance.
The cool night breeze blew against his face, blowing away some of the heat in his heart.
This feeling was very comfortable.
Although he couldn't tell why it was comfortable.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Lu Zhou took out his phone and glanced at the screen. It was Old Tang.
He pressed the answer button and pressed the phone to his ear. Before he could say anything, the person on the other side of the phone spoke in a hurry.
"You proved the twin prime number conjecture?!"
Lu Zhou quickly moved his phone half an inch away and said, "Yeah."
It's only been a day and the news has already spread back to China?
He thought he would have to wait until the thesis was officially published.
Professor Tang, "Where are you right now?"
"Where else? Of course, I'm at the hotel arranged by the conference … Why?"
Professor Tang immediately asked, "Are you coming back?"
Lu Zhou was confused. "Of course, why didn't I come back?"
Professor Tang coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, I mean, when are you coming back?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "In a couple of days, I'm currently organizing the proof process. Professor Deligné asked me to organize the thesis and send it to him. He said that I can submit it to Annual Mathematics. "
The other end of the phone went silent for a while.
After a while, Professor Tang said, "Not bad, I still remember the first time I submitted to Annual Mathematics as a first author. I was in my mid-thirties."
Lu Zhou smiled and said humbly, "Thank you, teacher!"
Being able to submit to Annual Mathematics at the age of thirty-five or thirty-six was already very impressive, and this was in the era of communication.
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't teach you anything."
"No, no, no, you're the one who opened the door to mathematics. Your mathematical analysis class and your guidance on functional analysis made me feel the ocean of mathematics —"
Professor Tang interrupted Lu Zhou and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking. Tell me your plan."
Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "Plan?"
"Yeah," said Professor Tang. He paused for a second and said, "My old friend just called me. He's going to recommend you to participate in the Ten Thousand People Initiative."
Lu Zhou's first reaction was to ask what the Ten Thousand People Initiative was.
His second reaction was …
Lu Zhou could not help but blurt out, "Is there money?"
Professor Tang paused for a second and burst out laughing.
"All you think about is money, money, money. Can't you be more promising?"
Professor Tang scolded Lu Zhou before he began to explain what the Ten Thousand People Initiative was.
In short, in order to implement a series of strategies, the Chinese Organization took the lead and followed by eleven other departments. A series of talent introduction and training programs were launched two to three years ago. The Ten Thousand People Initiative was one of these programs.
The system was mainly composed of three levels: outstanding talents, leading talents, and top young talents. The goal was to use 10 years to select about 10,000 outstanding talents in the fields of natural science, engineering, and philosophy.
The first echelon of outstanding talents had a total of 100 people. They were probably Nobel Prize-level, or in other words, they had the potential to challenge for the Nobel Prize. The second echelon of leading talents had a total of 8,000 people. The third echelon of top young talents had a total of 2,000 people, mainly for young people under the age of 35.
There was also the "Hundred People Initiative" from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as the "Thousand People Initiative" launched by the Chinese Organization. However, these two were mainly talent introduction programs for overseas Chinese. They were not for the Chinese themselves.
In addition, for different industries and different types of talents, the "Ten Thousand People Initiative" would give different levels of support. The main support was in terms of scientific research positions, research funding, and material rewards.
This was not only a title, but it was also a kind of recognition from the national level.
Professor Tang paused for a second before he continued, "There hasn't been a lot of funding for mathematics. I can't guarantee how much you'll get, but one thing is for sure. If you get into this program, it will definitely be a great help for your future research activities in China. At least you'll get support from the national level."
When Lu Zhou heard that there was funding, he smiled and said, "How can I … How do I participate in this program? What materials do I need to write? "
Professor Tang laughed and said, "Materials are actually secondary. I'll tell you how to do it when the time comes. Although being too young might be a problem, with the recommendation letters from us old guys, it shouldn't be a problem. "
Lu Zhou said happily, "Thank you, teacher!"
"No need to thank me. Speaking of which, it's that old … Professor Wang Yuping who led the way. Just thank him properly. All I can do is sign my name." Professor Tang smiled and said, "I've been a scholar for half my life, but I've also been on the bench for half my life. Other than academic matters, I can't help you much. Now, there's not much I can teach you. Take advantage of this opportunity. "
Lu Zhou said solemnly, "You'll be my teacher for life."
