Lu Zhou, who was on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, didn't know about the Hoffman Medal.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
Right now, he was next to Lake Carnegie, where he usually trained. He was with the kids from the drone club, sharing the joy of victory with them …
"Coach, we won! I can't believe it, we beat the Massachusetts Institute of Technology! "
Jimmy's face was full of excitement. He stuffed the trophy in his hand into Lu Zhou's hand and said in an exaggerated tone, "You should have been there to see it. I can't even describe that moment."
The gold-plated trophy was the size of a watermelon, and it was quite heavy.
Lu Zhou weighed the trophy in his hand and spoke to the kids with a smile.
"Well done, your trophy is much heavier than mine."
Lu Zhou's intention was obviously to encourage these kids.
However, for some reason, after he said that, the group of young men who were cheering excitedly stopped talking.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and asked, "You guys … What's wrong?"
Jimmy looked at his friends and shook his head. He said, "Nothing, we just have a feeling that you're going to show off, so we don't know what to say."
Lu Zhou:???
In all honesty, he could swear to the Bible once again that he had absolutely no intention of being pretentious. He just wanted to send his blessings to these kids and encourage them to continue on the road of science.
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Fortunately, at this time, a phone call suddenly came to his phone and helped him out of the predicament.
"I'm going to take this."
Lu Zhou pointed at his phone and left the lawn. He picked up the call and sat down on a bench by Lake Carnegie.
"Hello?"
"Lu Zhou, it's me!"
"Principal Xu?" Lu Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the hearty voice. He smiled and said, "What's up?"
"Nothing special." Principal Xu smiled and said in a serious tone, "I'm calling to say thank you on behalf of all the teachers and students in the chemistry department!"
Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Not really, I just wrote a letter to express my opinion."
"Of course not! Not only did your letter help us, it helped us a lot! The higher-ups value your opinion. The relevant funds have been in place, and the project bidding is underway. The new supercomputer center will be located near Jin Ling University. I'm not the only one who wants to say thank you. I don't know if it's Master Jin who wants to say thank you, but many people want to say thank you! "
Not only did Jin Ling University benefit from the hundreds of millions of investment, but it also benefited other universities, research institutes, and the local municipal government.
At this point, Principal Xu could not help but feel a little emotional.
If it weren't for the fact that the letter had been sent to the Elders' Courtyard, it wouldn't have been so easy for the university to negotiate with the people in charge of the funding.
Principal Xu paused for a second and spoke.
"Oh yeah, have you read the latest edition of Everyone Daily?"
"Everyone Daily?" Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "Not really, why?"
Principal Xu smiled and said, "You haven't? The latest edition has content about you, you should pay attention to it. "
As for the specific content, no matter how many times Lu Zhou asked, Principal Xu wouldn't say a word.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou leaned against the bench and curiously sent a text message to Yang Xu, who was in Jin Ling. He asked Yang Xu to order a copy of Everyone Daily and send it to him.
After the text message was sent, Lu Zhou put away his phone.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
The person who was jogging along the lakeside path seemed to have noticed him as well. He gradually slowed down his pace and walked towards him.
"Thinking about life?" Molina was wearing a tight blue sportswear. She gently shook the sweat on her hair and greeted Lu Zhou.
"No, I just happened to be sitting here for a while."
The sportswear outlined her beautiful curves. Lu Zhou didn't know where to look, so he looked at the lake and casually said, "Speaking of which, it's been more than a year, have you and your supervisor made any progress?"
Molina bit her lips and didn't say anything.
She remembered when Lu Zhou first came to Princeton, she invited him to choose her supervisor, Sophie Morel, to solve the Riemann's conjecture together.
But now, a year had passed, and Lu Zhou had become famous because of the Goldbach's conjecture. His influence had even spread to the fields of chemistry, materials science, and condensed matter physics outside of mathematics.
On the other hand, he and Lady Morrel were still walking on the same spot on the borderline of despair …
Not long ago, this guy was invited by the IMU for a 60-minute report. Coupled with all the previous signs, the Fields Fields Prize Committee's choice had been hinted at.
It was foreseeable that he would break the record set by Princeton University's head of mathematics, Charles Fefferman, and no one would be able to break this record for the next century.
Including the "German God" Peter Schultz, who was also scheduled to win the Fields Medal, next year's Fields Medal would be reduced by two. For the remaining young scholars whose research was outstanding but not top-notch, the competition for the Fields Medal would be particularly fierce.
Her supervisor, on the other hand, had placed all his bets on the Riemann's conjecture, did not produce any beautiful research results this year.
There was no doubt that her supervisor had no chance of winning the Fields Prize.
Molina looked at Lu Zhou, who was about the same age as her. She didn't know if she was envious, envious, or envious …
Even though she did not reply, Lu Zhou could guess what was going on just by looking at her expression.
Lu Zhou smiled and did not continue to ask. He changed the topic.
"Looks like I shouldn't have asked a question, pretend I didn't say anything."
Molina looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "How did you do it?"
"Before challenging a difficult goal, I prefer to choose a relatively easy goal." Lu Zhou looked at the sparkling lake under the setting sun and looked at the drone hovering over the lake. He said in a relaxed tone, "If I chose Goldbach's conjecture as the goal, even I wouldn't be able to do it easily."
He was not lying. The Group Structure Method was perfected on the Polignac's conjecture, and it came from his new explanation of the large sieve method when he proved the twin prime conjecture.
The Goldbach's conjecture was not completed in a day, and he did not get to where he was now.
Molina had a thoughtful look on her face. After a while, she asked seriously, "So, what did you choose as the small goal?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "The twin prime conjecture."
Molina: "…"
You call this a small goal?!
The moment she heard this, she had the urge to throw this guy into the lake.
