Male dormitory, room 201.
Ever since Lu Zhou left, the four-person dormitory became a three-person dormitory. However, even without an excellent friend, the three of them didn't feel too lonely in their university life. Instead, it was a lot more colorful.
If the Cole Prize was the first step to ascension, then Lu Zhou, who won the Crafoord Prize, was already a god in the eyes of the mathematics department students. As for breaking through the void and stepping on the stars, it didn't seem like something too far away.
Especially the master's and doctoral students who quietly watched Lu Zhou go from a junior to a senior, then from a senior to a PhD supervisor. Whenever they thought of his deified name, they couldn't help but sigh at their fate as mortals.
Because of this, every semester, during the exam month, people would occasionally come here to worship … Oh, no, worship God Lu.
These people didn't do anything else. They just sat on Lu Zhou's chair and mumbled something that Lu Zhou couldn't understand. After a few minutes, they felt like they had enough of God Lu's luck. They picked up their backpacks and went to study in satisfaction.
Later on, this trend wasn't just limited to the mathematics department. Even the software department next door would occasionally have people come over. Everyone remembered that after God Lu published his first paper on the Fourier inversion, he also published nine other computer science papers in the general journal.
Even though it was still an unsolved mystery why God Lu published those nine computer science theses in the first place, at least he was lucky enough to be a computer lover.
Just like this, even though Lu Zhou's table and chairs hadn't been used for a long time, there wasn't much dust on them.
Most of the dust was wiped clean by the sleeves of the "visitors".
Due to the large number of people that came, Brother Fei and Huang Guangming even joked that they might as well become priests and start a sect to collect incense money.
Of course, it was just a joke. If they really did that, they wouldn't even be able to graduate.
Suddenly, the dormitory door was pushed open.
Before anyone could look over, a familiar voice came from the door.
"201, your emperor is back …"
The atmosphere inexplicably turned cold.
Many pairs of eyes stared at him, causing Lu Zhou to feel a little embarrassed.
"Uh … is there something on my face?"
He thought that by mimicking Scum's humorous tone, the brothers in 201 would feel closer to him, but they didn't.
Liu Rui: "Lu Zhou …"
Huang Guangming: "Zhou."
Brother Fei took a deep breath and stood up. His voice trembled with excitement. "You … you're back."
"Please don't be so emotional. I'm embarrassed to come in," Lu Zhou said with a dry cough.
The school had arranged a place for him to stay in a nearby five-star hotel. Although he personally opposed extravagance, the school had already booked a room for him, so he couldn't refuse.
However, before returning to the hotel, he wanted to meet up with his brothers.
After all, it had been a while since they last met.
…
At the small fish farm at the entrance.
The boss put the grilled fish on the table and looked at Lu Zhou.
Maybe it was because he thought Lu Zhou looked like the person on the news, or maybe he was wondering why this guy was back.
However, the boss didn't say much. Just like how Lu Zhou didn't know his name, he didn't know the names of Lu Zhou's students either. It was just because he had been here for the past three years that he was familiar with Lu Zhou's students.
Food and beer were placed on the table.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Even without beer, everyone had a lot to talk about.
Lu Zhou learned about what happened at the school after he left. He also listened to Brother Fei's request and briefly talked about his life in Princeton.
After all, it was the holy land of mathematics. When the three of them listened, they all had a yearning look on their faces.
Especially Liu Rui. He probably had plans to study abroad, but not for a master's, but for a PhD.
After drinking a glass of beer, Liu Rui had a melancholy look on his face.
"After I graduate, I plan on continuing my studies."
Lu Zhou: "Applied mathematics?"
"Sort of, but not exactly," said Liu Rui as he shook his head. He paused for a second and said, "I plan on studying functional analysis at Yan University."
"Functional analysis is a widely used discipline. Whether it's the industry or the laboratory, they all need talents in this area. I used to want to develop in this area, but I switched to number theory. Anyway, good luck! "
Lu Zhou and Liu Rui toasted and gave their blessings.
Liu Rui's growth was also very obvious.
Maybe Lu Zhou unknowingly influenced him, or maybe it was his own enlightenment that made the change. In short, Lu Zhou no longer felt like a pseudo genius student. Instead, he felt like a real genius student with ambitions.
When they talked about their dreams, of course, they talked about Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou loved to talk about his dreams.
"I also plan on continuing my studies, but I can't do mathematics anymore. I plan on changing my major."
Lu Zhou: "Change your major?"
"Yeah," said Huang Guangming as he scratched the back of his head. He then smiled and said, "I'm pretty good at calculations, but I can't do more difficult theories. I plan on doing a master's in accounting or something. My family suggested this as well. Apparently, this major is more popular. "
Shi Shang, who was sitting next to him, sighed and said, "You guys are all going to study. It looks like I'm going to graduate."
"You're not going to study anymore?" asked Lu Zhou.
Logically speaking, Shi Shang's family should be the best out of the four of them.
"I'm not going to study anymore," said Shi Shang as he shook his head. He then smiled and said, "I've studied enough. It's time for me to explore society. Also, as a man, I have to give Jing Ya a happy future. "
Ya Jing was Shi Shang's girlfriend. Lu Zhou had seen her a few times. She was a good girl.
Lu Zhou could tell that this relationship had matured him a lot.
Lu Zhou: "You guys are planning on getting married?"
"Yeah," said Shi Shang as he nodded his head. He then said in a relaxed tone, "We'll get married in three years. As for the next three years, I'll rely on my own hard work to buy a house. "
For new graduates, it was not easy to buy a house in three years without the help of their parents. Even if it was just a down payment, even if it was a graduate from a university.
However, since Shi Shang had the courage to say this, Lu Zhou felt that his courage and responsibility were worthy of admiration.
Lu Zhou raised his glass and said, "I wish you all the best in your career. Don't forget to send me an invitation."
The two clinked their glasses and Shi Shang smiled.
"Of course!"
…
Lu Zhou and his three roommates drank very late. After they took a taxi back to the hotel, Lu Zhou immediately fell asleep. He slept until noon the next day when he was woken up by Dean Qin's phone call.
He suddenly remembered that he still had a report to do in the afternoon.
He took a leisurely shower and went to the hotel lobby to eat a buffet. When Lu Zhou went back to his room and changed into a suit, the car that came to pick him up arrived.
A long time ago, the system had given him a drug that strengthened his metabolism. Therefore, the effects of the hangover did not leave any obvious traces on his body.
When he walked out of the hotel in his suit, he looked refreshed. It was impossible to tell that he drank until nine o 'clock yesterday.
Lu Zhou sat in the school's car and arrived at the old campus of Jin Ling University. He adjusted his tie and walked into the historic auditorium.
The content of the report was obviously about Goldbach's conjecture.
Just like in Sweden, this auditorium could also accommodate thousands of people. When the report began, the auditorium was full. Lu Zhou had already experienced this before, so he was very calm this time.
Not only were there professors from Jin Ling University, but there were also people from Yan University, Shuimu, Aurora University, Kai University, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Especially for Shuimu, almost all of the old people from Hua Luogeng's school of thought came.
Halfway through the lecture, many people had tears in their eyes.
From the Group Structure Method, they could see the shadow of the large sieve method. They could also see the painstaking efforts of their predecessors being reborn in the new theory.
The large sieve method never came to an end. People once thought that the sieve method created by Eratosthenes in ancient Greece was unchangeable.
