The lights were on.
Lu Zhou, who was wearing a formal suit, walked steadily to the front of the auditorium stage.
From the moment he stood in front of the microphone, the noise receded like the tide, and the originally noisy venue instantly quieted down.
Lu Zhou stood on the stage and looked down at the audience. His state of mind was exceptionally calm.
This wasn't the first time he stood in this kind of situation.
This wasn't the first time he challenged a world-class problem.
Lu Zhou reached out and adjusted the microphone. He tested the microphone and spoke in a clear voice.
"Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedules to come here. In order not to waste your precious time, let's get straight to the point."
After the opening remarks, Lu Zhou paused for a second and spoke.
"Before coming here, I believe you have all read my thesis. I will give a simple explanation of the proof process in the thesis, and I will explain in detail the ideas I used to prove this problem.
"I believe that after my explanation, I will be able to answer all of your questions.
"If you still have any questions, please wait until the final Q&A session."
The powerpoint projected on the screen behind Lu Zhou flipped to a new page, and lines of calculations were presented in front of everyone.
[F ^ i (μv) ≡ δμ · Av ^ i- δv · Aμ ^ i + g (f ^ ijk) · (Aμ ^ j) · (Av ^ k)]

"When we give a Schwartz divergence free vector field μ0 to the equation, and set the time interval I = [0, + ∞), we can then continue to define a generalized solution N9 of the Yang-Mills equation as a continuous mapping obeying the integral equation μ (t), that is, μ → H10df (R3) …
"It is difficult to solve this nonlinear partial differential equation through a general method, and it is difficult to discuss the existence of its solution. Here, we have to introduce a three-dimensional manifold to build a bridge between the formless equations and the geometric principles, and introduce the idea of topology to it … "
Lu Zhou picked up a long piece of chalk from the podium and walked to the big blackboard next to the screen. He picked up the chalk and began to write on the blackboard.
In the audience.
The first row of the auditorium.
Professor Lu Zhou looked at the content written on the blackboard by Lu Zhou and suddenly spoke emotionally.
"It's hard to imagine."
Professor Tang, who was sitting next to Professor Lu Zhou, smiled and said, "What's hard to imagine?"
Professor Lu Zhou didn't answer the question. He seemed to be reminiscing as he spoke.
"Five years ago, at the European Nuclear Research Conference at CERN, he and I had a disagreement on the characteristic peak of the 750 GeV energy zone. My opinion was that the signal there might be a two-photon signal produced by gluons during polymerization, while he insisted that there might be a possibility outside the standard model. "
"And the final result?" Professor Tang smiled and said, "Are you right or is he right?"
"There's no conclusion." Professor Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "CERN was busy with his discovery for an entire year, and the theoretical physics community also paved the way for this new particle theory for an entire year. But in the end … It seems like the universe is playing a joke on us. Some say it's quantum fluctuations, some say it's a two-photon signal produced by gluon polymerization … But these are not the main points. "
Professor Lu Zhou paused for a second and smiled. He then continued, "It's a rare quality to be able to stick to one's own point of view when questioned by the authorities. Especially for students trained in our education system, it's even more valuable to have this quality. From then on, I thought that this kid's future was definitely not simple. I didn't expect that I still underestimated him. In just five years, he has grown to this point. "
The last sentence was an answer to Tang Zhiwei's previous question.
In the past, he just thought that with Lu Zhou's talent and hard work, he would definitely have a place in the physics or mathematics world in the future. However, he did not expect that in these five years, not only did Lu Zhou achieve his own future, but he also achieved the future of Jin Ling University and even China's academic community.
Professor Tang smiled and echoed in his heart.
"Yeah …"
"He's probably the fastest growing student I've ever seen."
The report continued.
After the part on the L Manifold ended, Lu Zhou gradually accelerated the pace of the report.
A thesis had 40 pages, and the key proof process was at least 20 pages.
If he didn't want to leave the Q&A session until the afternoon, he had to finish it within two hours.
As Lu Zhou's pace gradually accelerated, the scholars in the venue also stared intently at every line of calculations that he wrote, even every letter. They were afraid of missing any details.
For them, it was not a problem of not understanding. At most, they did not have the spare time to listen to the report while exchanging opinions with their peers sitting next to them.
The slides on the PowerPoint began to scroll.
There were more and more calculations on the blackboard.
Lu Zhou completely forgot about the auditorium he was in, and he completely forgot about the audience behind him. He was completely focused on the inch-long chalk and the unfilled blackboard.
While writing and explaining on the blackboard, Lu Zhou was also sorting out the ideas he used to prove the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations in his mind.
While he was sorting out his ideas, new inspirations and ideas were brewing in his mind.
The thesis flipped to page 36.
The report was coming to an end.
Professor Klitzing could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had grasped the entire proof process. He closed the notebook in his hand and looked at Professor Faltings, who was sitting next to him.
"Excellent proof … What do you think?"
Professor Faltings's eyes were locked on the lines of calculations on the blackboard. He seemed to be analyzing something in his mind, and he didn't speak for a while.
Before coming to China, he had been researching the L Manifold and the proof of the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations. He had also discussed with several PhD students in this field at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics. However, he still had some questions about the flaws in the proof.
However, most of these questions had already been answered.
After a few minutes, he looked at the PowerPoint and looked at the blackboard. He spoke with a blank expression.
"He answered some of my questions … Although not all of them."
Professor Klitzing smiled.
Even Mr. Faltings said this, so there shouldn't be any problems.
However, just as he was about to stand up and applaud Lu Zhou …
The piece of chalk hanging on the blackboard suddenly stopped.
