Just when Lu Zhou thought that he would soon return to his normal campus life, the twin prime conjecture thesis finally appeared in the latest issue of Annual Mathematics.
The person who made outstanding achievements in this field was a Chinese scholar, and the person who pushed this conjecture to the end was a Chinese scholar. The publication of this thesis finally put an end to all of his efforts.
After a few days of silence, he once again understood what it meant to "the tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop".
This matter was reported by China Youth Daily.
There was only one title, but it was full of information.
[Young scholar Lu Zhou won the Best Young Speaker Award at the Princeton Academic Conference. The world-class twin prime conjecture is solved.]
The editor who wrote the article probably had a headache for a while. He did not know how to combine such a large amount of information into one sentence title.
While reporting the research results, Huaguo Youth Daily also quoted the reviewer's evaluation of his research results.
[This is an outstanding result, whether it is the author's final conclusion or the groundbreaking method used to prove this conjecture. Now we can say with certainty that the twin prime numbers are infinite — Pierre Deligné]
At the same time, the news that Lu Zhou was selected for the Ten Thousand People Initiative and became the youngest "plucked" scholar was also mentioned in the report.
Combined with the previous copyright controversy, this news immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.
[F * ck me, a twenty-year-old "plucked scholar"! Isn't the minimum threshold for the Ten Thousand People Initiative a PhD?]
[How many PhDs can be this nutty? Even PhD supervisors can't be this nutty.]
[Mathematics is really the domain of geniuses. I don't need to say anything else, I'm going to quietly switch to coding next semester …]
[I've been selected for four years, and I've been cannon fodder for four years. Every year, when I see the sea of people during the selection, I feel hopeless. Now, I feel relieved. It's not that there are too many porridge but too few monks, it's just that I'm not strong enough …]
[A prodigy powerhouse is terrifying!]
[Sacrificing the "strongest genius", Brother Lu is crowned!]
[Please don't be a celebrity …]
Not only on Weibo, but the major university forums were also discussing this matter.
Peking University, unnamed BBS.
[Just now in the number theory class, Old Wang told us about this guy. He said that he could tell at a glance that this kid was not simple. He did not expect to solve a mathematical conjecture. Sigh, it's such a pity that I wasn't there. I could have clapped for the Almighty.]
[Any PhD student with this kind of qualifications would be able to graduate right away.]
[Yes, two core SCI theses, not to mention this kind of research results. Any university in the country would be able to graduate with this. Unfortunately, he is still too young, and a doctorate is not something that can be given out easily.]
[F * ck, there's actually someone who can teach such a genius?]
"It's precisely because you're a genius that you need to learn even more. However, his learning style is definitely different from yours. I heard that Jin Ling University created a special talent training program for him. They directly grant him a bachelor's degree and enroll him as a master's student. He can get a double doctorate in four or three years. He can come up with some results during this period, and after he comes back, he'll be a full professor … That is, if he's still willing to come back.]
[I'm so jealous.]
[A popular candidate for the 2018 Fields Prize. This kind of genius is treated like a treasure. You can't be jealous. Just focus on applied mathematics and finance. Again, pure mathematics is a dead end.]
[…]
…
In addition to the official reports, the media reports were still the same. Lu Zhou did not even need to look at his phone to guess what was going on.
[Shocking! He is the one who proved the twin prime conjecture!]
[He was supposed to go on stage to give a report, but he was suddenly inspired and proved a major conjecture. The world is shocked!]
The reports on the Internet were overwhelming. After Lu Zhou was secretly happy, he "cooperated" with China Youth Daily. He did not go to the library for three days. He stayed in his dorm to finish his graduation thesis.
This was because he had a hunch that if he went to the library, the people next to him would not be able to study.
It was better to think for the sake of those seniors who were taking the postgraduate entrance exam.
After all, it was not easy for them. It was not too late to go to the library after the hype died down. Anyway, he was busy with his thesis and did not have time to deal with the system mission.
However, he did not completely stay in his dorm for the past three days. For example, on Sunday, he went to Mrs. Yang's house and tutored Han Mengqi with mathematics problems.
In fact, he was not doing this part-time job for the money. He wanted to think about ordinary problems from an ordinary person's point of view. This was a special way for him to relax.
Of course, when Mrs. Yang offered to raise his salary, he would not refuse.
Other than relaxing his brain, another reason was probably a sense of accomplishment.
Watching a little disciple turn from a trash in elementary school into a top student, it had to be said that it was quite a sense of accomplishment. It was like the little sapling that he watered finally bloomed.
Of course, the main reason was that Han Mengqi worked hard. She was surprisingly talented in science. She could understand a lot of things easily. If Lu Zhou was a blockhead, he would have been so angry that he did not want to come.
Lu Zhou always thought that girls were at a natural disadvantage in science, which emphasized logical thinking. However, it seemed that this was not entirely true.
At least, in just one semester, she had to make up for all the missed courses and follow the teacher's footsteps. She had to push her mathematics scores from below the passing mark to 135. This was quite difficult.
If it wasn't for the fact that the system had improved his ability to think about a certain subject, his talent in science might not be comparable to this young lady's.
No matter what the media said about Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou always thought of himself as a hardworking person, not a completely talented person.
The reason why he was able to get into a university was not because he was a genius. It was because of his solid foundation and the accumulation of questions …
After the routine tutoring, Lu Zhou put on his apron and cooked two dishes. One was stir-fried pork with green peppers, and the other was the little girl's favorite mapo tofu. It was a reward for her high monthly test scores.
Mrs. Yang had not come back yet, so it was just the two of them eating.
At the dining table, Lu Zhou chatted with her about her studies.
"I've already gone through the contents of the mathematics, physics, and chemistry textbook for you. I've also pointed out the areas that you need to focus on. I don't have anything new to teach you. You just have to practice. You can graduate from me in June. "
After that, she had to do a lot of exercises to consolidate her knowledge. If she could persevere, then she would be able to achieve the right result. If she could not persist, she would at most get a normal textbook. It all depended on her luck.
Han Mengqi asked quietly, "Are you going to study abroad like my sister?"
Lu Zhou nodded his head and said, "Probably next year. The school plans on sending me to Princeton for a PhD so I can learn from a higher platform."
He would be able to get his master's degree by this time next year. After he got his master's degree, Jin Ling University might not have anything to teach him.
By that time, it would be inevitable for him to go to a higher platform for further study.
"I see," said Han Mengqi. She looked a little disappointed as she asked, "Then, will you come back?"
"Of course," said Lu Zhou jokingly. He then added, "I might be a professor when I come back."
Han Mengqi raised her head and said happily, "Really? Then can I apply for your master's degree after I graduate? "
"Apply for my master's degree?" said Lu Zhou. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to do pure mathematics?"
Pure mathematics was not a good choice, especially for girls.
However …
For a rich kid like her, it did not matter what she studied, right?
"Yeah!" said Han Mengqi excitedly as she nodded her head. She then said, "I love mathematics!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
"Okay then, but I have to tell you," said Lu Zhou as he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He then said, "It's not that easy to be my student. At least get me a 985 first."
