After being busy for half a year, Lu Zhou finally returned to his hometown and lived a comfortable life.
The mathematical modeling competition came as scheduled, but this time, he did not participate. First of all, he did not plan on forming a team. Second of all, with his current achievements, he did not need this level of medal to prove his strength in the field of mathematics.
Even the Federal Mathematics Society's Title Award, which was only awarded two times a year, was only on the same level as the Higher Education Society Cup. He did not need this kind of competition to prove his strength in the field of applied mathematics.
Not to mention, he won the "Best Young Speaker Award" at the conference organized by the Federal Mathematics Society less than two weeks ago. Also, it was personally given to him by Mr. Francis. No matter what, it was more prestigious than the US competition.
This kind of opportunity to prove himself should be left to the lower level contestants to challenge.
Even if he wanted to participate in a competition, it should at least be an "all scientific" competition like the International Genetic Engineering Machine Competition (iGEM). Or an interesting and practical competition like the ICRA International University Student Robotics Technology Challenge.
Of course, it also depended on whether or not he had the time. After all, he planned on making physics his minor in the second half of the year. He could foresee that his time would be much more fulfilling than last semester.
However, staying at home for a long time was quite boring.
After returning to Summoner's Canyon, Lu Zhou couldn't find the fun he had in the past. Every day, he would chat with his parents, help Xiao Tong with her math homework, tease Xiao Ai, who was unwilling to level up, occasionally watch live streams online, or play with his phone …
Since he was really bored, Lu Zhou logged onto the official website of the US competition and downloaded the questions.
Yeah, not bad. This year's questions are very down to earth.
Question A, eradicating the Ebola virus. Question B, searching for Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Both were unsolved mysteries of the world. There was also a C question, which was about human resources. The question itself was more than five pages long. The last D question was about solving the conflict between population growth and the limited resources of the earth. It looked like a social science question.
Lu Zhou: "…"
F * ck sake, good thing I didn't participate!
Did the person who came up with this question have some misunderstanding about mathematical modeling?
In short, no matter how the other strong mathematicians of Jin Ling University fought in the school computer room, this war had nothing to do with Lu Zhou.
Soon, it was the end of the year. Every household in the neighborhood had put up couplets, and the atmosphere was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Visiting relatives, paying a visit to the elderly, everyone was happy and harmonious. This year's New Year was no different from previous years.
The only difference was that no one asked him "How are your results?" Instead, they asked him "Have you found a girlfriend?" and "What? You're already so old and you don't even have a partner? Do you want me to introduce you to someone? "
Lu Zhou was very touched that the elders were so concerned about his marriage, so he hid the "MMP" in his heart and replaced it with New Year's blessings.
The day after the New Year, Lu Zhou's phone basically didn't stop ringing. He was either calling people to wish him a happy new year, or he was being called by others.
Surprisingly, Lu Zhou received a WeChat call from Luo Wenxuan from Princeton.
"Happy New Year! Also, I have to say thank you! "
"Thank you?"
Luo Wenxuan said excitedly, "That's right, God threw down the seventh possibility of the six-sided die in the Hilbert space! The boson at exit N1 is also the boson at exit N2. If both sides of the die hit the ground, then everything makes sense! You gave me inspiration, I'll buy you a drink next time we meet. "
"I'll remember that. Also, congratulations," said Lu Zhou with a smile. He then said, "Speaking of which, aren't you coming back for New Year's?"
"I already came back once before Christmas. Now that the experiment is at a critical stage, my supervisor won't let me go. Just like last year, I'll have to spend New Year's in Princeton again." Even though Luo Wenxuan was a bit disappointed, he had been studying abroad for a long time, so he was used to this lifestyle.
Luo Wenxuan chatted with Lu Zhou for a bit and talked about the mathematics and physics problems in the Hilbert space. After that, Luo Wenxuan hung up the phone and went to work on his experiment.
After Lu Zhou hung up the phone, he was about to call the next person in his contact list. Suddenly, Lu Xiaotong, who was lying on the sofa playing with her phone, tilted her head and asked, "Brother, when do you plan on finding me a sister-in-law?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Good question, how about I tell you after I find one?"
Lu Xiaotong, who was barefooted on the sofa and enjoying the air conditioner, sighed mischievously and said bitterly, "As your cutest little sister, it hurts my heart to hear such a negative answer from you. Do you want me to introduce you to a few? Thanks to Old Ma bragging about you in class every day, several students in our class admire you very much. "
It would be weird if Old Ma was bragging about Lu Zhou. With Old Ma's teaching style, Lu Zhou would probably be written into a joke.
"Introduce my a * s, what do you know? You're trying to introduce me to a girlfriend, "said Lu Zhou as he picked up a pillow from the sofa and threw it at Lu Xiaotong. He then said," No matter how much of an animal I am, I won't find someone younger than you. "
He didn't respond to the soft pillow and didn't even bother to fight back. Lu Xiaotong asked in confusion, "Eh? Why not? What does it have to do with my age? "
Lu Zhou coughed and said, "Let me give you an example. If I found a girlfriend younger than you, would you call her sister or sister?"
Lu Xiaotong: "Just call her sister-in-law?"
Lu Zhou: "…"
Huh?
That makes sense … Sh * t!
That was close, I was almost convinced.
In the end, Lu Zhou forcibly ended the topic by saying, "Don't talk about love at a young age" and "Don't get involved in adult matters" …
A few more days passed by. Happy times were always short.
Before the Lantern Festival was over, the little princess at home carried her schoolbag and returned to her daily life as a high school student.
As for Lu Zhou, because of the Ten Thousand People Initiative, he had to say goodbye to his parents the day after the Lantern Festival and set foot on his way back to school.
Old Lu took a day off from work and sent Lu Zhou to the high-speed rail station. He didn't say anything. He just patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself". He then walked away.
The high-speed rail transfer to the subway took a long time.
After leaving the subway station, Lu Zhou took his suitcase back to his dorm.
The graduate entrance exam students had just been released. Most people hadn't returned to school yet, so the entire campus was empty.
Other than the monks who were forced to stay by the unscrupulous teachers, there was almost no one else.
After returning to his dorm, Lu Zhou stuffed the clothes in his suitcase into his closet and lay on his bed.
He had rested long enough, and it was time to see what kind of "reward mission" the system had prepared for him.
