370 Set A Small Goal First (2/3)

Chapter 370 Set a small goal first (23)

Lu Zhou, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, was unaware of the trivia surrounding the Holff Medal.

But even if you knew it, you probably wouldn't care much.

At this moment, he is staying beside Carnegie Lake, where he usually trains, with the boys from the Drone Club who have returned from the competition, sharing the joy of victory with them...

"Coach, we won! Unbelievable, we beat MIT!"

With excitement and excitement written on his face, Jimmy stuffed the trophy into Lu Zhou's hand, and said in an exaggerated tone, "You should really watch it on the spot, I can't describe it in words .”

The gold-plated trophy was about the size of a watermelon, and it was quite heavy in the hand.

Weighing the trophy in his hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said to the boys.

"Well done, your trophy is much heavier than mine."

Lu Zhou's original intention, of course, was to encourage these lads.

However, for some reason, after he said this, the group of cheering boys stopped talking.

Slightly stunned, Lu Zhou asked, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Glancing at each other with his companions, Jimmy shook his head and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's just that we have a hunch that you will definitely act aggressive, coach, so I don't know what to say."

Lu Zhou:? ? ?

Conscience in heaven and earth, he can swear to the Bible again that he has absolutely no intention of pretending. He just simply wanted to send blessings to these boys and encourage them to continue on the road of science.

The air was a little awkward for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, a call suddenly hit his mobile phone, which relieved him.

"I'm going to answer the phone."

Pointing to his mobile phone, Lu Zhou left the lawn, pressed the connect button, and walked to the bench by Carnegie Lake to sit down.

"Hey?"

"Lu Zhou, it's me!"

"Principal Xu?" Hearing that hearty voice, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing special," Principal Xu smiled, changed into a serious tone, and continued, "I'm calling this time mainly to say thank you on behalf of all the teachers and students of the School of Chemistry!"

Hearing this thank you, Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but said, "Thank you, I can't talk about it, I just wrote a letter to express my own opinion."

"How come? Your letter not only helped, but also helped a lot! The higher-ups value your opinion very much. The relevant funds have been put in place, and the project bidding is also in progress. The new supercomputing center is located in Jinling University Town Not only I want to say thank you to you, but also Master Jin and students want to say thank you, many people want to say thank you to you!"

The implementation of the policy of hundreds of millions of investment will not only benefit Jinling University, but also other universities, research institutes, and local municipal governments in Jinling University City.

Speaking of this, Principal Xu couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

If the letter hadn't been passed on to the Elder's House layer by layer, and it was just their high school arguing with the people in charge of the funds, this project would not have been so easy to get off.

After a pause, Principal Xu continued.

"By the way, have you followed the latest edition of Renren Daily?"

"Everyone's Daily?" Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, "No, what's wrong?"

Principal Xu smiled: "Haven't you paid attention to it? The latest version has content about you. You can pay attention to it."

As for the specific content, no matter how Lu Zhou asked, Principal Xu refused to say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou leaned on the bench, edited a text message out of curiosity, and sent it to Yang Xu in Jinling, asking him to order a Renren Daily in China and send it to him.

After sending the text message, Lu Zhou put away his phone.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure came into view.

The man who was jogging along the path by the lake seemed to have noticed him too, so he gradually slowed down and walked towards him.

"Thinking about life?" Molina, who was wearing a blue tights and came over, gently shook the sweat from her hair and greeted Lu Zhou.

"No, it just happened to be sitting here for a while."

The beautiful curve outlined by the sportswear is a bit dazzling, and Lu Zhou didn't know where to put his eyes is more polite, so he looked at the lake not far away, and casually found a topic and said, "Speaking of it, it's all a It's been more than a year, have you and your tutor made any progress?"

Hearing this unanswerable question, Molina bit her lips with a complicated expression, but did not speak.

I remember that when Lu Zhou first came to Princeton to study for a Ph. D., and she had not yet chosen a mentor, she once sent him an invitation, suggesting that he choose his own mentor, Sophie Morel, to overcome the century-old problem of the Riemann conjecture together.

However, a year later, Lu Zhou has become famous because of the final proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and his influence has even spread to the fields of chemistry, materials science, and condensed matter physics outside the mathematics world.

And myself and Ms. Morel are still standing still on the desperate critical line...

Just a while ago, this guy was invited by IMU to report on 60 Minutes. Coupled with all the previous signs, it has almost hinted at the choice of the Fields Medal Awards Committee.

It is foreseeable that he will break the record set by Charles Fefferman, the dean of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, and this record is likely to be broken within a century.

Including Peter Schulz, the "German academic god" who also booked the Philippine Award, next year's Philippine Award will be equivalent to two fewer places out of thin air. For the remaining young scholars whose research work is outstanding but not top-notch He said that the competition for the Philippine Awards will be extremely fierce.

And her mentor, because he put all his bets on the Riemann conjecture, did not make any beautiful research results this year.

There is no doubt that this year's Fields Medal has no chance with her mentor.

Looking at Lu Zhou, who was about the same age as her, Molina no longer knew whether her expression was envy, envy, or envy...

Although he didn't get an answer, Lu Zhou guessed it just by looking at her expression.

Smiling, without further questioning, Lu Zhou changed the subject.

"It seems that I did a question that shouldn't be asked, so just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Looking at Lu Zhou, Molina asked with a complicated expression: "How did you do it?"

"Before challenging a difficult goal, I prefer to choose a small goal that is relatively easy to accomplish," said Lu Zhou, looking at the sparkling lake water in the setting sun and the drone circling low above the lake. He continued in a relaxed tone, "If you choose Goldbach's conjecture as the goal of the challenge, even I can't do it easily."

He did not lie in this sentence. The theory of the group construction method was perfected on the Polignac conjecture, and it finally came from his new interpretation of the big sieve method when he proved the twin prime number conjecture.

Goldbach guessed the building wasn't built in a day, and he didn't get where he is now, either.

A pensive expression appeared on Molina's face, and after a while, she asked earnestly, "So, what is the small goal you chose?"

Lu Zhou smiled: "Twin prime conjecture."

Molina: "..."

This shit is called a small target? !

The moment she heard these words, she instantly had the urge to throw this guy into the lake.

It's so exasperating!
