218 Returning To China And Back To School (1/3)

Chapter 218 Returning to China and Back to School (13)

The day after Christmas, the entrance to San Francisco International Airport was not far away.

After driving Lu Zhou to the airport, Tao Zhexuan got out of the car and helped him open the trunk, and said with a smile, "Bon voyage."

"Thank you," Lu Zhou said with a smile after dragging the suitcase out, "I have the opportunity to come to China to play."

"must!"

In the past two days, Lu Zhou often exchanged math problems with this genius. Although the age difference between the two was almost 20 years, their personalities were unexpectedly compatible. When leaving, Tao Zhexuan offered to take him to the airport, and Lu Zhou readily agreed.

Before the plane took off, Lu Zhou who was sitting in the terminal took a newspaper and found it was the Daily Mail.

Just when he was about to change his job, the moment he saw the news headline, he was attracted.

[The Riemann Hypothesis, a millennium problem that has plagued the mathematics world for a century and a half, was proved by Professor Opiemi Enoch of Addo-Ekiti University in Nigeria! 】

Lu Zhou:? ? ?

Hold the grass? !

Haven't heard of this at all?

Thinking that he missed the big news, Lu Zhou quickly logged on to the Arxiv website and searched for this paper.

Sure enough, he did not live up to his expectations, and he quickly found the paper on the Arxiv website.

However, before Lu Zhou clicked on the paper to check it out, he lost interest the moment he saw that the paper was classified under [General-Mathematics].

The General-Mathematics classification, also known as general mathematics, is a tolerant and caring name for civil science on the Arxiv website. Articles thrown into this category are basically worthless to read.

Lu Zhou: "..."

He finally understood why the "Daily Mail" was once blocked by Wikipedia.

They like making big news so much, but the posture level of Western journalists needs to be improved...

Among other things, the Riemann Hypothesis has been proved, and the relationship is not a matter of offering a reward of one million dollars, but it will mean that thousands of inferences based on the Riemann Hypothesis will be promoted to theorem.

Just to give an example, a Swede named Koch proposed a more precise prime number theorem expression based on the Riemann conjecture, which is the so-called prime number theorem under strong conditions: π(x)=Lix+O(√ x·lnx).

If Riemann's conjecture is true, then this formula is true.

If the Riemann Hypothesis is overthrown, thousands of similar formulas will be buried with it.

The influence of this thing cannot be summed up in a few expressions.

Lu Zhou glanced at the paper briefly, then closed the web page.

Expecting to use a few symbols and knowledge of elementary mathematics to prove Riemann's conjecture, this paper made him think it was a waste of time to read it more.

As for why the Cray Research Institute ignored this person and ignored this paper without commenting, Lu Zhou can probably guess.

It is nothing more than the problem of "political correctness" that exists in any country.

Maybe one day he will try to challenge the Riemann conjecture, the crown of mathematics, but the important thing now is to solve the problem at hand. Whether it is Goldbach's conjecture or the cooperation project with Professor Frank, it has already tied up a lot of his energy...

...

After more than ten hours of flying and a connecting flight, Lu Zhou dragged his suitcase out of the airport.

Perhaps Director Lu noticed that the last pick-up had had the opposite effect. Jin Da did not come to hold the banner this time, but the battle at the gate of the airport was still not small.

A few Mercedes-Benz cars were parked at the door. Lu Zhou would not have known that the school was so rich if he hadn't done such a thing.

Passers-by saw these black Mercedes-Benz parked neatly, and thought it was a big star, they took out their mobile phones without knowing it, and took a photo first.

After getting off the car, Dean Qin enthusiastically held Lu Zhou's hand and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Lu Zhou!"

Lu Zhou held Dean Qin's hand and said politely, "Dean Qin, you are being too polite."

Dean Qin said with a smile: "How come, you are the first person in the number theory field in our country to eat crabs! And you are also a hairy crab! Take our hero home, this is the treatment you deserve! Don't stand at the gate of the airport talking Come on, get in the car."

The car has arrived here, of course Lu Zhou will not refuse, and got into the car with Dean Qin.

Considering that Lu Zhou has already moved out of the student dormitory, it must be too late to arrange a temporary dormitory. For convenience, the school directly helped him book a hotel nearby.

As for the luggage, the staff of the school still did it for him and sent it there for him.

And now, a reporter from CCTV's science program is going to do an interview with him.

In fact, Lu Zhou's original intention was to refuse the interview, but when he thought of the one million yuan check, he still "reluctantly" accepted it.

The academic reputation of Jinling University has always been good, but its reputation is not as good as that of Yanda University, Shuimu University, Zheda University, and Aurora University. As for the reason, part of it is because there have been no particularly awesome characters.

After Lu Zhou became famous, the number of applicants for the Department of Mathematics of Jinda University has risen to a higher level in 2015, and the enthusiasm for applying for other majors has also increased. Jinda University can be regarded as enjoying the same treatment as when it was opened.

It is foreseeable that in the first season of 2016, many fresh students will flood into this beautiful campus and bravely jump into the pit of mathematics.

Lu Zhou was very pleased about this.

After all, he has lived here for three years. As a nostalgic person, he naturally hopes that his alma mater will be better and better.

After the interview, Lu Zhou went back to the hotel and had his first peaceful sleep after returning to China.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day. After washing and yawning, he went to the cafeteria to have lunch, and then arrived at the school auditorium on time.

When he came to the auditorium, Dean Qin and Principal Xu were both here.

"Student Lu Zhou," Academician Xu Jian said with a smile while holding Lu Zhou's hand, "You haven't had time to take a good rest since you came back from the United States. Thank you for your hard work this time!"

Lu Zhou hasn't graduated from Jin University yet, so it doesn't matter to call him a classmate.

The main reason is that apart from this, Academician Xu couldn't think of what to call him.

Calling him by his name seems a bit too much, he hasn't started his doctorate, and he hasn't written a word for a professor... After becoming an academician, in the entire academic world, Lu Zhou is the one who can take the initiative to shake hands with him among the master's students. It's really the first one.

"Where, it's not hard." Shaking hands with Academician Xu, Lu Zhou said with a smile, "My alma mater needs me, of course I will show up as soon as possible!"

Dean Qin interjected from the side with a smile: "This time our school's special scholarship and person of the year award, there is a chance to be on CCTV! Have you thought about the speech yet?"

"Going to CCTV?" Lu Zhou was surprised.

He originally thought that at most, he would be on a local TV station.

After all, Jinling University is not Yanda Shuimu. Although the Person of the Year awards are held grandly every year, there are more grand universities than Jinling University.

"It's a long story, and it's mainly thanks to you," Academician Xu said with a smile, "Our country is paying more and more attention to the field of basic science, and the investment is also increasing. Young researchers with achievements, as role models and representatives of young researchers, still need to do relevant publicity work. How about it, are you ready to speak later? Speaking of which, what about your speech? Shall I help you take a look?"

He really didn't prepare for speech scripts.

After all, there is no pressure to receive such a small award. He originally planned to improvise. With the acceptance speech of the previous Cole Award as a reference, he is not worried about any accidents.

But if you say that, doesn't it seem that you don't pay enough attention to it?

"I...recited it." Lu Zhou smiled subtly.

"Haha, that's okay," Academician Xu smiled, his expression adjusted slightly, and he looked at Lu Zhou solemnly, "Behave well, I'll be counting on you in a while!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" Lu Zhou also raised his spirit and stood at attention.
