From failed candidate to chief scientist

Chapter 108

"Sorry, Zhang, your lecture hall has been temporarily adjusted, please follow me."

As soon as Lin Mo and his party arrived at the Royal Theater, Madsen, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, greeted them.

"Adjustment?"

Zhang Qihua was a little strange.

He was originally scheduled to be in the fifth lecture hall for today's first session. This had been decided long ago. If there were no accidents, there would generally be no changes. So at this time, I heard Madsen say that his lecture hall had been adjusted. , Zhang Qihua frowned.

But he didn't say anything and followed Madsen.

Madsen started talking all the way.

"There is no other way. You know, because of what happened yesterday, there were too many scholars who came here to listen to your report. As a last resort, we had to open a new lecture hall."

Know?what do you know?
Zhang Qihua was filled with doubts.

As Madsen spoke, he had already led the three of them to the main theater where the opening ceremony of the conference was held the day before yesterday.

"Madsen, are you in the wrong place?"

Zhang Qihua finally questioned.

"That's right, there's no way, this is the only lecture hall we can find that can accommodate that many people."

"Don't tell me, this is the first time we have used the main theater as a lecture hall. You can also be considered a pioneer in our history."

Madsen's tone was filled with excitement and excitement.

"Come on, Zhang, it's time for you to perform! I look forward to your speech today!"

As he spoke, he opened the door to the side of the main theater facing the stage.

Zhang Qihua was still full of doubts, and a strong uneasiness crept into his heart.

As the door opened, the sound from the main theater immediately came out. The huge noise instantly hit Zhang Qihua's ears. As soon as he took a step forward and walked in, he turned his head and took a look inside the venue.

Just this one glance made his legs go limp, and he almost staggered and fell to the ground.

If Lin Mo, who was behind him, had not had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to support Zhang Qihua, Zhang Qihua would have been the first reporter to fall in front of the reporting platform.

I saw that the main theater was packed with people at this time, and the momentum was no worse than the opening ceremony the day before yesterday. This is the main theater of the Royal Grand Theater that can accommodate more than 3000 people!
At this time, the seats were already packed and packed!

What's happening here?
Are you making a report in front of so many people?
I just gave a small report, how could so many people listen to it?

And look at who are all here?

The chairman of the conference, Shigefumi Mori, the winner of the Chen Shengshen Award, Barry Mazur, as well as the fresh winners of the Fields Medal, Nevin Linner Medal, and Gauss Medal, all sat in the front row without exception.

This is Zhang Qihua’s acquaintance, and the rest are unknown academic giants and bosses. Are they all here to listen to my report?

How can I, Zhang Qihua, be able to make these people come and listen to my report?
Zhang Qihua felt that at this moment, his heart could no longer beat.

Zhang Qihua couldn't help but look back at Madsen.

"Is this...is this a mistake...?"

"That's right, Zhang, originally we didn't expect so many people, but after Lin helped you promote it yesterday, everyone was very interested in your report, so we had to adjust the lecture hall overnight and notify the guests. , because of this, I stayed up all night."

"Zhang, you have to treat me to a nice meal and thank me properly, hahaha!"

Madsen’s words were filled with pride.I still thank you?May I treat you to a nice meal?I……

Zhang Qihua stared at Madsen and clenched his fists.

Seeing that Zhang Qihua didn't look right, Madsen was a little confused.

"What? Zhang, don't you know? Didn't Lin tell you?"

Lin Mo was speechless.

Why did you sell me back?
Can you please speak at this time?

Zhang Qihua turned around and glared at Lin Mo fiercely.

Good job your boy did!
Although Zhang Qihua understood Lin Mo's intentions, this battle was really too big. He wanted to say, "Teacher, I can't stand it!"
"It's okay, Teacher Zhang. Just treat these people as your students and just follow your usual teaching style."

"You said it lightly!"

Zhang Qihua glared at Lin Mo again.

Then the following are three thousand top scholars in the academic world.

Not to mention giving a report in front of 3000 top scholars, he has never tried giving a lecture in front of [-] students!
"It's okay, teacher, where is I?"

Zhang Qihua knew that the arrow was on the line now, and with so many big figures in the academic world watching, it was impossible to turn back and run away. He could only rush the duck to the shelves, and use the dead horse as a live doctor.

Zhang Qihua took a deep breath and walked towards the stage.

Lin Mo also hurriedly followed, took the microphone handed by the staff, and stood on the side under the stage. He would act as the translator for Zhang Qihua's report.

Standing on the stage, looking at the crowd of heads below, Zhang Qihua couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

He had to take deep breaths several times, trying to suppress his nervousness and panic.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhang Qihua from Dongshan University in Xia State. I am very happy that you can come and listen to my report..."

There was a bit of vibrato in Zhang Qihua's voice.

Zhang Qihua lowered his head and glanced at the speech he had prepared. He lowered his head slightly, not looking at the eyes of everyone in the audience, and focused on his speech.

"The title of my report today is a report on the whole process of Kakeya's conjecture proof..."

As Zhang Qihua focused his attention on his speech, his voice gradually became calmer, his narration gradually relaxed, and the content of his speech gradually unfolded.

"Here, we built a unique topology..."

"From this structure, we can see..."

"Yes, the biggest problem here is the problem of non-connectivity. We use it here..."

Zhang Qihua gradually mastered the rhythm and started explaining at a leisurely pace.

Although the entire proof process was not done by Zhang Qihua, he watched and studied the whole process when Lin Mo proved it. When he was later organizing the paper, Zhang Qihua understood the proof process bit by bit. Therefore, Zhang Qihua can be said to be the best person except Lin Mohe. Apart from the two actual provers, Bill Carr is the person who knows and understands the proof process of Kakeya's conjecture best.

And for many details, Zhang Qihua worked very hard to understand them. For example, Zhang Qihua improved some of the places that Lin Mo and Birkar had mentioned in one stroke, making the proof more complete. Therefore, In this regard, Zhang Qihua can even explain it more clearly than Lin Mo and Bill Carr.

At this time, Zhang Qihua's many years of teaching experience was fully utilized at this moment, as if he was really facing a group of students, he explained the report in a simple way, and explained every step clearly, making the mathematicians in the audience mesmerized , fully understood.
