Chapter 127 Level Breakthrough!

Lu Zhou did not expect that when he went to the United States by himself, not only did he not spend all the funds given by the school, but he also brought back 10,000 US dollars.

This made him a little unexpected.

Going against the crowd that was rushing out of the auditorium, Lu Zhou stepped onto the awarding platform and received a certificate and a check from the old Mr. Francis.

"Congratulations, Lu Zhou from Jinling University, your report is very impressive. I heard Deligne, Zellberg and many other professors spoke highly of your presentation. Although you The displayed content has been temporarily changed, but I think this does not hinder the wonderful content itself."

"If you are willing to study for a Ph.D. in Princeton, I believe many professors are willing to write recommendation letters for you, of course, including myself."

Studying for a Ph.D. in Princeton requires not only good paper grades, but also various proofs of academic activities, extracurricular activities, etc., and most importantly, three or more letters of recommendation from experts in the same research field.

"Then I won't waste your time anymore, go and enjoy the rest of the academic meeting." Patting Lu Zhou on the shoulder, Mr. Francis walked slowly behind the scenes with a black cane.

He looked at the back of Mr. Francis, and then at the certificate in his hand.

A thought suddenly popped up in Lu Zhou's mind.

Does this count as actively participating in this academic conference?

Although in a different way.

Forget it, let the system worry about these things.

What is the evaluation? After returning to the hotel at night, everything will be revealed.

Walking outside the auditorium, Lu Zhou saw a person.

It was an old man with a bald head and a windbreaker.

When Lu Zhou looked at him, he was also looking at him.

When Lu Zhou approached, he spoke.

"Excellent proof."

"Thank you... are you Professor Deligne?"

"Yes." Professor Deligne nodded.

The old professor didn't talk much, and he was a bit like Lu Zhou's Senior Brother Qian.

But the difference is that even if the old man doesn't say a word, he can still feel an obvious sense of oppression from his sight.

It is rumored that this meticulous old man has a habit of preparing about 3 to 4 possible counterexamples in his head before listening to any lecture. Come up with a counterexample...

This is probably the most embarrassing form of veto compared to moderate discussion.

Maybe this sense of oppression comes from this?

After a pause of about half a minute in silence, Professor Deligne spoke again.

"Do you want to consider publishing your paper in the Annals of Mathematics?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was stunned.

There are many annuals of mathematics, both abroad and domestically, and what Professor Deligne refers to is obviously not the one across the Pacific, but the "Annals-of-Mathematics" run by Princeton, the most authoritative four major journals in mathematics today. One of the "Comprehensive" mathematics journals.

Lu Zhou immediately asked: "Can I submit more than one manuscript?"

Professor Deligne shook his head: "It doesn't count as multiple submissions. The paper you submitted to the academic conference is a study of the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers, not a proof of the twin prime number conjecture. Although the conference affairs team will definitely accept your supplementary submissions , but I do not recommend you to publish your research results through this supplementary submission, not to mention that this kind of mathematics conference is not a top academic conference.”

After a pause, he continued, "If you are willing to submit a paper to the Annual Journal of Mathematics, please send me a copy of your paper as soon as possible. I may be busy in a while...but I still have time to review the paper in the near future."

Lu Zhou: "I'll prepare it when I get back to the hotel."

"Don't be so anxious, just enjoy the party and beer today, I'm not so unreasonable," Professor Deligne smiled rarely, but it was only for such a short moment.

After hesitating for a while, he took out a letter from the inner pocket of the windbreaker and slowly handed it to Lu Zhou.

"This is?"

Looking at the letter in his hand in confusion, Lu Zhou froze when he saw the sender.

【Alexander Grothendieck】

Fuck? !

Seeing the shocked expression on Lu Zhou's face, Professor Deligne coughed lightly and said slowly, "This letter was written in November last year."

"I thought that after so many years, he has been indifferent to outside affairs after he has been away from the mathematics field for many years, until he handed me a stack of unopened letters and asked me to follow the list and hand it over to him at the right time. Those young talents who are emerging in the field of mathematics...and this letter belongs to you."

Looking at the letter in his hand and feeling its weight, Lu Zhou took a deep breath: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, I should be the one thanking you."

Slightly nodded, Professor Deligne left such an unclear sentence, then turned and walked away.

...

Lu Zhou finally chose to miss the party at night.

With the enthusiasm of foreigners, he really didn't want to try again.

Moreover, he already had a premonition that he would probably be drunk a lot.

I managed to keep my integrity last time, but this time, if I add the stimulation of alcohol, it might not be as simple as losing my integrity...

After resolutely quitting the party and returning to the hotel, Lu Zhou lay flat on the bed, his consciousness entered a pure white system space, and came to the translucent holographic screen.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task! 】

[The task completion is as follows: Participation in each link of the Princeton Mathematics Academic Conference: (poster exchange + 2 points), (listening to lectures + 4 points), (academic dinner + 1 point), (report + 25 points)]

[Mission Final Evaluation: S+]

[Task reward: 42,000 points of mathematics experience. A lucky draw chance (80% garbage, 10% samples, 8% blueprints, 2% unlock branch technology)]

Seeing the experience value of the task reward, Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, wondering if he misread a zero.

When he counted again, he realized that he was right.

"Hold the grass?! 40,000 math experience?"

The ecstatic Lu Zhou ordered the system without hesitation.

"System, open the property panel!"

【

Main Science:

】

Looking at the property panel, Lu Zhou clenched his fists excitedly.

LV3!

However, the excitement didn't last for two seconds.

After seeing the string of zeros in the upper limit of experience, Lu Zhou's mood suddenly became less beautiful.

One hundred thousand experience.

When will this fucker get together!

It will be put on shelves in the early morning of tomorrow, and the code word will be cultivated tonight, and the six changes will be guaranteed tomorrow, and the ten changes will be striven for!
