Chapter 76

It was already dark, and the laboratory building was still brightly lit.

In Professor Tang's office, Lu Zhou knocked on the door and walked in.

In fact, before he came here, he already knew what Lao Tang was looking for.

Just now, he flipped through the mailbox to the over-draft letter from the editorial department of "Mathematics Chronicle". Judging from the date, the letter was sent two days ago, but he missed it.

However, what Lu Zhou couldn't believe was that his paper was published so quickly, as if the "Mathematics Chronicle" was more anxious than him.

For a while, he couldn't help being a little flattered that his paper could have such a big face.

As soon as he entered the door, Professor Tang put down the pen in his hand and looked at the graduate student who was working on the computer next to him.

"Little Wang, go and pour a glass of water for your junior brother."

The graduate student named Xiao Wang pushed his glasses and stood up without saying anything.

Lu Zhou quickly said: "No, I'll do it myself."

"No, no, please let me come," the graduate student named Xiao Wang couldn't help but put a teacup on the coffee table, picked up the electric teapot and poured water, and said respectfully, "Give tea to the boss."

"thanks……"

Looking at the full teacup, Lu Zhou had no choice but to accept his good intentions.

Sitting down on the sofa, Lu Zhou saw that the magazine next to the teacup was the latest issue of the original English edition of "Mathematics Chronicle". And on the thirtieth page that was spread out, Lu Zhou recognized it at a glance. This was the paper he wrote—

"Discussion on the distribution law of Mersenne prime numbers and the proof of Zhou's guess"

"Did you write this paper in the Annals of Mathematics?" Sitting behind the desk, Professor Tang asked with a serious look.

"Yeah." Lu Zhou nodded and glanced at Old Tang strangely.

Who else can I be?

Is there anyone else in Jin Da called Lu Zhou?

The two graduate students in the office took a deep breath, looked at Lu Zhou, and were convinced.

As expected of a person who is highly regarded by Lao Tang!

It proves that the world-class mathematical problems are so calm and calm.

If they were themselves, let alone proving a world-class mathematical problem, they had to celebrate with joy when they published a manuscript in a core journal. With the bonus from the school, they called a few friends out for a meal.

"..."

Lu Zhou's calmness left Professor Tang not knowing what to say.

To be honest, when he saw this paper, he was stunned.

Confused is not aimed at the paper itself, but at the person who published the paper.

He never thought that this kid could really research something in the field of Mason primes, and even had the plan to let him touch his nose and then retreat...

result……

Who would have thought that this kid not only made achievements in this field.

And dropped a depth charge on the entire field of number theory research...

"...Your accomplishments in the field of number theory are beyond my imagination. I thought your talent was in the field of functionals, but now it seems that I have misunderstood." Professor Tang shook his head, "I have brought so much in my life. students, you are the highest in terms of talent."

Not just looking away.

He couldn't understand a little.

It stands to reason that a person's energy should be limited. A hammer in the east and a stick in the west have always been taboos in learning, but this taboo doesn't seem to apply to this kid.

It seems that there are indeed geniuses in this world who can ignore common sense.

Lu Zhou was a little embarrassed to be praised, he laughed dryly, and said modestly: "Professor Tang, you are over the top. I just got an inspiration when I was an amateur. It's not as exaggerated as you said."

"Ha ha."

Old Tang's voice was without cadence, and suddenly Lu Zhou didn't know what to say next.

This hehe, obviously scoffed at the hypocrisy of him being cheap and selling well.

Old Tang is still old Tang, the eyes are too poisonous!

At this time, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

The two walked in one after the other.

Walking behind was Director Lu of the Department of Mathematics. The old man who was walking next to him, Lu Zhou, didn't know him, but seeing him staring straight at him, it was obvious that he was coming for him.

As soon as he entered the door, Director Lu was about to call Lao Tang, but when he saw Lu Zhou sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to ask.

"You proved Zhou's conjecture?!"

Lu Zhou looked at Director Lu who was excited and nodded: "Yes... Is there any problem?"

Director Lu hadn't spoken yet. The old man next to him smiled and spoke first.

"There is no problem. I have read your paper. The proof process is quite excellent. It is indeed worthy of Professor Deligne's praise for you."

Commendation?

Deligne?

who?

Lu Zhou was stunned.

On the contrary, the two graduate students in the office had a shocked expression on their faces.

Deligne!

Viscount conferred by the Belgian king himself! The prover of Weil's conjecture!

Professor Tang coughed, "Little Wang, pour a glass of water for the two professors."

Xiao Wang stood up silently and walked towards the cupboard where the tea set was kept.

The unfamiliar old man said with a smile, "Old Tang, don't be so polite, I just came here for a walk, and I'll be gone in a while."

"This is Dean Qin of our hospital." Looking at Lu Zhou, who was bewildered, Director Lu introduced with a smile.

Lu Zhou came back to his senses and stood up immediately: "Hello, Dean."

"Hello, hello, don't be polite, sit down." Dean Qin looked at Lu Zhou and nodded approvingly, "Speaking of which, you are Lu Zhou. I wanted to see you some time ago, but I was caught by Norwegian mathematicians. The academic conference was delayed, and I just came back from Norway last week."

"When I was in a meeting in Norway, I talked to Mr. Newman about your paper on linear functionals that you published a few months ago, and he spoke highly of you, and told me that in five years at the latest, you will be able to Groundbreaking results in this field. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so suddenly, I just came back from Norway, and you have done such an earth-shattering thing, and it's a field of number theory that is completely different from functionals ."

At the end, Dean Qin sighed softly with emotion and said with a smile, "Sure enough, we old men are becoming more and more useless. To prove these mathematical conjectures, we still have to rely on you young generation."

"President Qin, your words are serious." Lu Zhou coughed dryly, and was a little embarrassed to be praised, "I'm just taking advantage of it, it's earth-shattering, and I can't talk about it..."

Dean Qin looked at Lu Zhou, smiled and said, "Hehe, you'll know why I said that by tomorrow."

What does this huh, huh, mean?

Lu Zhou was a little confused.

Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't speak, Dean Qin smiled and continued: "It's not too early, we and Professor Tang still have some things to discuss, you go back first."

It just so happened that Lu Zhou also planned to slip away, and the task completion rate, not surprisingly, his reward was still hanging in the system space and did not receive it.

So he smiled and said, "Then I'll go first... By the way, Dean Qin, does the school have any incentives for solving this world-class math problem?"

Professor Tang laughed and scolded: "You kid, staring at that petty profit all day long. Can a world-class mathematical problem be measured by money?"

Lu Zhou wanted to nod and tell him yes, but in the end he restrained himself.

President Qin and Director Lu also laughed.

"There are definitely rewards. For this kind of outstanding scientific research achievements, both our school and our country are strongly supported!" Dean Qin said with a smile, "However, there will be a meeting in the school to discuss the specific rewards. Next, I can't guarantee when the results will be discussed, but the material rewards will never treat you badly!"

Lu Zhou was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Dean!"

Dean Qin smiled and waved: "You're welcome."

Without staying in the office much, Lu Zhou quickly retreated, and when he left, he took the office door with him.

Looking at the back of this kid leaving, Dean Qin smiled and said, "It's a talent."

Professor Tang sighed: "Yes, it's just too utilitarian."

"The utilitarian point is good."

"Okay? I think it's better to calm down if you want to do research," Professor Tang shook his head. "His talent in the field of mathematics is the highest I've seen in so many years. The future is limitless.”

"Oh? I think there is no conflict between utilitarianism and concentrating on learning." Dean Qin said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the kind of talent who can't enter the market will become a talent, and we can't keep it."

Professor Tang shook his head, but did not answer.

He has seen so many geniuses that he has disappeared in the Vanity Fair.

Learning is not about singing and dancing. If you want to achieve results, you must endure loneliness, and you must learn to actively shield from outside interference. This may be unfair to those who have truly contributed to the progress of human science, but since they have chosen this thorny road to seek truth, they must endure all this.

Maybe it's a matter of position.

Dean Qin hopes that Lu Zhou can make achievements in Jinling University, and hopes that the proof of Zhou's conjecture will be labeled as Jinling University, so that Jinling University's School of Mathematics will be famous in the academic circle of China and even the world.

As for Tang Zhiwei, he only hopes that this kid can go further on the road to the Mathematical Building.

Whether it's at King's University, or at Princeton, or anywhere else...
