From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 132 Going to Paris
Time passes quickly.

Academician Tang Qing's project is almost at the final finishing touch, and it is quite close to the final goal.

Needless to say, Lin Xiao's role in it, Academician Tang Qing has already planned to give Lin Xiao a second author position, and Professor Cao Chengqing also agreed with this decision. I am also embarrassed to ask for the position of this second work.

Although Lin Xiao shied away from this at the beginning, he had no choice but to accept the insistence of the two professors in the end.

However, compared with the research on this topic, his research on Goldbach's conjecture is still stuck halfway.

He had to admit that the difficulty of this conjecture was a bit beyond imagination.

Of course, this is also true in fact. In 1921, British mathematician Hardy once said: "The difficulty of Goldbach's conjecture can be compared with any known mathematical problem."

And Hardy is one of the proponents of the round method. Even he thinks that Goldbach's conjecture is so difficult, which is enough to show the difficulty of this problem.

Comparing Goldbach's conjecture with Riemann's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture is not as important as Riemann's conjecture in terms of status, but it can still be called the jewel in the crown of mathematics, and if you compare Goldbach's conjecture with Regarding the relationship between the twin prime number conjectures, Terence Tao, as a mathematician who is interested in everything, once said that the former is more difficult than the latter.

Therefore, Lin Xiao, who plunged headlong into this pit, could only use his brain with less than 4% development to try to meet the requirements of this peerless beauty named 'Goldbach's conjecture'.

Only when the requirements are met, can he enjoy the joy of harvest - in front of mathematicians, the temptation to solve these mathematical conjectures is no less than that of a peerless beauty.

He also knows that he still has 15 hours of sage status to use, but he can't guarantee that he will be able to complete the final breakthrough if he uses it now, so he prefers to keep these 15 hours in the place where he found an inspiration. time in use.

But unfortunately, two months later, he still did not succeed.

Of course, it’s not enough to give up. It took him nearly a month to study Mersenne primes. Goldbach’s conjecture was more difficult, and it took a little more time. Goldbach's conjecture time is only about half of it, and the rest of the time is spent learning French and dealing with other things.

As for French, he has almost learned it now. With his current brain development speed, his memory and comprehension skills are much stronger. Learning a language is even easier. Now he has mastered French. He also memorized all the daily expressions in Chinese and professional terms in mathematics, and he had no problem communicating with Professor Xu Ji in French.

Therefore, at this time, he was ready to go to Paris, France, to participate in the Bourbaki seminar, and after they learned that he was going to participate, they had already sent him an invitation letter. With the invitation letter, he also The visa was easily obtained at the French embassy.

It just so happens that since I can't overcome Goldbach's conjecture for the time being, I should go to the place where mathematicians gather and discuss it with other mathematicians.

……

Entering December, it means that the exam time in January is not long.

Lin Xiao was exempted from the exam, and had to take the exam. However, this led to an awkward situation. He was going to France in January, and obviously he couldn't take it.

The college naturally took special measures and arranged an exam for him alone.

Then, on the day of December 12th, after he finished the thought-research exam in a very embarrassing manner, he finally completed all his exams.

"Damn, I almost forgot to take this ghost test."

After leaving the examination room, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sweat. After the school arranged the exam, he realized that he still had a subject to study, so he frantically studied before the exam. I almost memorized the entire book in three days, and I finally passed the test today.

However, the result is not bad, and Sixiu should have a chance to score more than 90 points.

As for other mathematics subjects, if he can't get full marks, he will feel ashamed when others call him Lin Shen.

Leaving the exam room, the exam prepared for him alone was conducted in the office building of the Department of Mathematics, so after he came out, he went directly to Xu Ji's place.

"Is the exam over? How's the situation?"

"Well, the test is over, and the grade point is guaranteed to be above 3.9." Lin Xiao was not polite, and sat directly on the chair next to him, saying 'OK'.

He has been here for a long time, and he has long been familiar with it.

Xu Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Only 3.9? Can't it be adjusted to 4.0?"

Lin Xiao said with helplessness on his face: "This thinking and cultivation is not easy to fix. I almost forgot that there is still this subject."

Xu Ji laughed: "That's true."

Which one of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Peking University is not a super student, but most people will have a headache when facing these courses. After all, this thing can only rely on the back, and of course people who study science hate it.

"That's how it is. We flew to Paris on the 31st, and Xiao Zhou and Xiao Shi also went."

Xu Ji said with a smile.

Lin Xiao nodded. Xiao Zhou and Xiao Shi are Xu Ji's graduate students, one with a master's degree and one with a doctor's degree. Presumably, these two can also speak French.

After all, if you want to go there, in addition to having money, you have to be able to speak the language there.

The two graduate students also nodded to him, and Xiao Zhou even ran to the side and poured a cup of tea for Lin Xiao, and handed it to Lin Xiao: "God Lin, it's time to take us with you."

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, no, just ask me if you have any questions."

"You drink, you drink." Xiao Zhou still handed the tea to Lin Xiao.

After Lin Xiao drank the tea, he left here without stopping any longer, and returned to Yanbei Garden.

He was going to Paris, so Mimi couldn't bring him with him. After thinking about it, he asked Professor Zheng who lived upstairs.

In the past two months, Professor Zheng has often accompanied his granddaughter to talk to him, coming and going, the old man who didn't like cats at first, now——

"Mimi for a while? That's of course no problem!"

Zheng Ren seemed quite surprised.

When Lin Xiao heard that Zheng Ren agreed so easily, he couldn't help being surprised for a moment, "I was worried that you wouldn't agree. Now you also like cats?"

"That's not true, it's just that you can't let the cat stay at home alone, and my daughter likes it too, and raising her for a few days will make her happy."

Zheng Ren did not admit the fact that he likes cats.

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing at this, but of course he didn't expose it.

In any case, the most worrying thing before can be regarded as resolved.

After that, it was time to wait with peace of mind for December 31, the day to go to Paris.

He really wanted to know if he could find the final key to prove his brother's guess there.

And he hoped so.
