Chapter 67 The Cheering Crowd

"genius!"

"Genius!"

"bravo!"

……

The applause in the conference hall lasted for a long time.

All the participants applauded and stood up, looking at the young man in front of the blackboard with admiration.

Different kinds of praise were also mixed in with the applause.

They not only applauded Xiao Yi for ending the eight-year dispute, but also cheered for the mathematical talent and keen mathematical sense shown by this young man.

Being able to discover the most critical problems first when so many heavyweight mathematicians are present.

Even if the main reason is that the key problem lies in far Abelian geometry, a mathematical field that not many people even understand, it can also be proved that this young man has mathematical inspiration far beyond most people.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a talented young man. The last time I saw him was probably..."

Sitting in the first row, Pierre Deligne clapped his hands and spoke to Enrico Bombieri beside him.

Before, his evaluation was "kind of interesting", but now, it has become "so talented".

Enrico Bombieri smiled and said, "The talented young man I saw last time is now standing on the stage."

Deligne was stunned for a moment, then looked at Schultz who was also applauding on the stage, and nodded with a smile: "That's true."

……

“This kid…”

In a row slightly closer to the front, Hu Guangde looked at the young man on the stage with a slightly absent-minded look in his eyes.

He never expected the plot to develop in this direction.

Originally, I thought that since Xiao Yi had received an invitation from Schultz, I might as well bring him here to see the world and see what an international mathematics conference is like.

After arriving here, he found that this kid could actually sit in the front seat, which made him feel that this young man was very lucky.

Then, the plot began to develop normally.

Schultz and Mochizuki Shinichi started arguing.

only……

Who could have guessed that when these two were arguing and had nothing more to say, this guy suddenly appeared...

He also came up with some mathematical inferences that even he could not understand, completing the work that Schultz had failed to do.

This kid...

Could it be that the paper I've been reading recently is Shinichi Mochizuki's IUTT paper?
He remembered the paper that Xiao Yi had been reading with great interest when he was waiting for his visa in Beijing and on the plane. At that time, he just glanced at it and didn't read it much. Now that he thought about it, it could only be this paper, right?
How could this kid actually watch this?

Looking back on the time when he was reading this paper, it was like torture. In the end, he only read about 300 pages. Then, when he saw that those who had already finished reading it said they couldn't understand it, he gave up directly.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. No matter what, after today, this kid would definitely become famous again.

But isn’t this a good thing?
Perhaps, a great mathematician who can bring unprecedented influence to the mathematical world will truly emerge in their China.

Thinking of this, a relieved smile appeared on his face. …

On the stage, Xiao Yi, the protagonist of this moment, faced with such a scene, scratched his head, smiled shyly, and finally bowed politely.
Schultz walked towards him while clapping and exclaimed: "You did it! It's amazing! I believe you will become a better mathematician than me in the future!"

"Luck, it's just luck."

Xiao Yi said modestly: "If you hadn't asked those questions, and Professor Wangyue exposed a point that had never been revealed before when answering, I would definitely not have discovered this problem."

“Isn’t this what makes you outstanding?”

Schultz smiled.

There is no doubt that this is a very advanced error, but before, because the theoretical derivation process in Shinichi Mochizuki's paper was too simple, this error seemed to be infinitely reduced.

But as time passed, details gradually emerged, and today, the true nature of the problem has finally been revealed.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly. Perhaps it was true. He was often able to show extraordinary sensitivity to these details.

Schultz didn't say anything more and turned to look at Mochizuki Shinichi on the other side.

Xiao Yi also looked over.

After admitting that IUTT was wrong, Mochizuki Shinichi lowered his head slightly, looking a little depressed - of course, it is normal for anyone to be depressed at this time.

He left the area of ​​the blackboard and returned to his seat.

There was endless applause in my ears.

However, although it was expected that applause would be given to him, at this moment, the applause was not given to him.

Although no one knows exactly what his mood is, we can probably guess it.

Sitting next to him were three Japanese mathematicians who supported him, and of course, they had a good relationship with each other in private.

When the Japanese mathematicians saw Mochizuki Shinichi's expression, they all tried to comfort him.

"Mochizuki-kun, cheer up. Now that we know where the mistake is, maybe we can complete the proof next time."

"I shouldn't come this time, Mochizuki-kun."

"Qikexiu, Wangyue-kun, it's all the fault of that Chinese kid. If it weren't for him..."

"That's enough." Mochizuki Shinichi stopped them from continuing. "I came here on my own this time. That Chinese kid is very good, maybe even smarter than me... At least he was able to find my problem from the perspective of far Abelian geometry before me."

"I'm not depressed by my failure, it's just..."

Mochizuki Shinichi closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

In fact, he was a homebody mathematician who spent all his time on things that interested him.

In 2012, after completing the IUTT paper, he only posted it on his personal website and their school's preprint server, and did not publicize it to the outside world. It was only after his colleagues discovered it that they spread the news.

However, over the years, the attention paid by the mathematics community to this matter made him, a person who originally liked to immerse himself in his own world, feel bored. Then, Xiao Yi's paper some time ago once again inspired him and gave him the confidence to deal with all problems. So this time, he wanted to end this matter completely and let people stop bothering him.

But I didn't expect...

"So, what I said to you at the beginning came true, right?"
