Chapter 246 War Letter?

"I can't believe it...you have become a professor." After staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, Molina slowly said this sentence.

It had been a long time since that report meeting, but this was the first time she met him face to face, because he was really busy during this time.

Molina paused for a while, and asked, "...when are you going to move out?"

Lu Zhou thought for a while, and replied casually: "Maybe after a while, it is not expensive to rent a single-family house near here, but I don't like to move around, and there are too many things to move, or Wait until you go back to the country, and clean up together when you come back."

Probably next month, he will go back to Jinling.

Although Jin Da's call was still in the works, he estimated that it would only take a few days.

What's more, even if there is no call from his alma mater, he still has to go back to his hometown in Jiangling to visit Xiaotong who is preparing for the college entrance examination.

After all, the moment of fate is about to be decided.

Although he can't help with liberal arts, he can still help her.

...

The Princeton Institute for Advanced Study brought Lu Zhou not only a handsome salary, but also a spacious office.

Humming a ditty, Lu Zhou tidied up the office, but at this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Wait, aren't these things students do?

Now that I have become the boss, it is such a failure to clean the office by myself.

Realizing this, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered that he is still a polished commander.

Although Princeton University formally hired him as a full professor, the offer of a researcher from the Institute for Advanced Study also gave him the qualification to serve as a doctoral supervisor, but now it is May, which happens to be stuck in the time of spring admission and autumn admission. middle.

In short, he still has to wait two months to receive resumes from students before deciding who to interview.

Or, find old man Edward Witten and borrow Brother Luo for a while?

But this...is not so good.

Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly.

Then, he took out his mobile phone and called Edward Witten, and he quickly got an "OK" reply.

Not long after, Senior Brother Luo appeared at his door panting from upstairs.

When he heard that the "help" that Lu Zhou said was not helping with research but cleaning up the office, the guy who was originally elated was dumbfounded.

"Wait, you asked me to help... just to help you clean up the office?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "I'll treat you to dinner later... I really can't clean up."

Brother, understand, let me live the addiction of being a professor.

"One meal is not enough, this needs two meals!" Senior Brother Luo put down these words severely, and went to the side to pick up the broom.

Lu Zhou stacked the books on the table and said with a smile.

"No problem, three meals are fine."

When two people work together, the efficiency is more than doubled.

Although Lu Zhou didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Senior Brother Luo packed things much faster than him. It can even be said...well-versed? But considering that he often participates in club activities and has almost integrated into the society here, Lu Zhou is not too surprised.

I am ashamed to say that I used to play basketball with Brother Fei occasionally when I was at Jinda University, but now I am afraid that even the three-step layup is unfamiliar.

Just as he was on a short errand, Senior Brother Luo's voice suddenly came from the side.

"The Washington Times? Who put that thing here."

Picking up an obviously brand new newspaper from the table, Senior Brother Luo frowned.

But when he turned the first page, he was stunned.

Noticing Senior Brother Luo's expression, Lu Zhou couldn't help asking.

"what is that?"

"It's nothing, Korean media, don't worry about it, it's just to disgust you." Brother Luo said casually, and was about to throw it into the trash can, but Lu Zhou reached out and picked it up curiously.

Then, when he saw the title, he also froze for a moment.

"The Neglected Group, Voice of a Nigerian Mathematics Professor"

In the article, it tells the story of Professor Opiemi Enoch and the Riemann conjecture. At the end of 2015, he posted the paper on the Arxiv website, but waited for a long time to no avail.

In the end, waiting for nothing, he chose to write to the Clay Institute.

However, the Clay Institute did not respond to his expectations, and all he waited for was indifference from the elite.

According to Professor Enoch, he decided to solve this famous mathematical puzzle not because of the prize money, but because of his students. It was because the students believed in themselves that he began to try to solve this mathematical problem. And this bonus will eventually be used for education.

So far, there is nothing wrong with it, but looking further down, Lu Zhou is getting more and more absolutely wrong.

Article, excerpted from an interview with Professor Enoch by reporter Laerte.

[Professor Enoch: Any prime number is under the prime number distribution system established by the Riemann ζ function. You may not understand what I mean, but I can tell you that it is like the "flying man" Bolt Same, invincible on the field.

Laert: In other words, your method can easily solve the Goldbach conjecture.

Professor Enoch: Yes, that's right.

Laert: If the Clay Institute hadn't indifferently ignored your research results, how long would it take you to prove Goldbach's conjecture based on the prime number distribution system established by your Riemann zeta function?

Prof. Enoch: I've actually proven it, probably in the last year. If I remember correctly, it took me only three hours to prove the Goldbach conjecture, the twin prime conjecture, and the Polignac conjecture respectively... This is nothing to be proud of, even my students can do it .

Laert: I think you've been treated unfairly.

Professor Enoch: Yes, I am very angry.

...

Seeing this, Lu Zhou laughed out loud.

The posture level of Western journalists needs to be improved. It is not enough for the "Daily Mail" to be scammed once, and the "Washington Times" that came out of nowhere will jump into the big pit of Nigeria.

To be honest, this Nigerian professor may not understand the difference between the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet L function.

However, this has something to do with him.

Whoever loves popular science will go for popular science.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was a letter in the newspaper, and his eyebrows raised involuntarily.

[Dear Mr. Lu Zhou, I am Gene Laert, the editor-in-chief of The Washington Times. At 3:00 pm the day after tomorrow, there will be a report at the Princeton Hotel. The speaker is Opayemi from Ekiti Federal University Professor Enoch, and the content of the report is about the proof of Goldbach's conjecture based on Riemann's conjecture. Of course, I know that you, the winner of the Cole Prize, must disdain to listen to the voice of a scholar from a third world country, just as the American academic circles have long ignored his papers. 】

[But I can testify that the prime number distribution system established by Professor Opiemi Enoch based on Riemann's conjecture can solve Goldbach's conjecture in only three hours. If he does this, there is no doubt that this achievement belongs to him who proved Riemann's conjecture at the end of 2015, not you. 】

[Of course, in order to be fair, we still reserve one hour for you to speak in the report meeting, and you can defend your thesis. 】

[By the way, there will be a total of 21 group legal representatives including the Black Rights Protection Association and the Anti-Racial Discrimination League present for notarization, and local congressmen from New Jersey will also be present at the report. In addition, we invited reporters from The New York Times and The Philadelphia Daily to follow up on the news. 】

"..."

Lu Zhou threw the newspaper into the trash can, but the invitation letter remained.

Noticing Lu Zhou's actions, Senior Brother Luo reminded: "To be honest, you are wasting time. This person obviously can't even tell the difference between the Riemann ζ function and the Dirichlet L function. If you have this spare time, you might as well prepare to use your time." first class."

Garrett Reese, the king of civil science in the United States who used e8 to unify the four forces of interaction, has been entangled with Edward Witten for several years, but the old man did not take him seriously. It was Frank Wilczek, an old man who was addicted to gambling, and he couldn't control himself when he heard about betting.

"Why don't you go? The other side has already made a call of war." Lu Zhou smiled faintly, "And as a Chinese, I can't just sit idly by this unwarranted insult."

Senior Brother Luo was stunned for a moment: "Insult?"

"Yes, Hua Luogeng, Wang Yuan, Chen Jingrun and other seniors made outstanding contributions to the historical proposition of Goldbach's conjecture, which can be said to be one of the most brilliant chapters in the history of world mathematics by Hua Guo's analytic number theory school, but there are always Arguments such as 'Chen's theorem has deceived the world' and 'Hua Luogeng is a third-rate mathematician' emerge in endlessly."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou shrugged: "Actually, I don't care, anyway, I will go back to China next month. But look, what the Nigerian professor said, it only took three hours to jump through that system. After several generations of scholars have studied and accumulated results..."

"What's the difference between that and mocking respectable people as rubbish?"
