The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 79 I'm going to talk about something new
Xiao Yi's report attracted the attention of a large number of mathematics students from universities in Beijing.

Not only the 2020 students in the joint examination group, but students from other grades also received the news.

These students had heard of Xiao Yi's name before, so they all wanted to see Xiao Yi in person and wanted to know how big the gap was between themselves and this mathematical genius, so they all wanted to sign up.

Faced with such a hot situation, the School of Mathematics of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was somewhat caught off guard.
When will a math report attract so many students?
This report is not a meeting, so there are no tea breaks or other benefits for them to eat and drink. In addition, what Xiao Yi is going to talk about will definitely involve far Abelian geometry, and only a few people can understand it. It would be good if there are dozens of students. The rest of the seats are for other domestic mathematicians. Theoretically, a conference hall that can accommodate more than 300 people is just right.

As a result, given the current situation, this already large conference hall may not be enough.

There was no other choice but for the School of Mathematics to move the venue of the lecture to the largest lecture hall in their school, which could accommodate about 600 people. At the same time, they opened the online reservation mode, reserving 300 seats for scholars, and the remaining seats were all given to students from universities.

Even so, in just one day, all the seats were reserved by college students in Beijing, including undergraduates and postgraduates.

The leaders of the mathematics schools and research institutes of major universities could not help but sigh that young people are young, they are still too young and have not experienced the pain of not being able to understand a lecture at all.

Looking at the ratio of students who have registered, undergraduates are the largest, while graduate students are quite few. There are still more than 50 master's students, and as for doctoral students, there are less than 10. Basically, doctoral students who are willing to participate are indeed researching in this direction, except for a few one or two who are just here to join in the fun.

After all, most graduate students have attended mathematics conferences.

Of course, these leaders are actually quite happy to see so many students participating. They hope that after watching this lecture, they will take Xiao Yi as their role model, study mathematics seriously in the future, and add luster to Chinese mathematics.

And so, the day came to September 9th.

There is still one day left before the report officially begins.

……

Outside room 818 of Xingheng Hotel in front of the Institute of Mathematics.

"He has locked himself in his room for nine days?"

Xi Lan, the dean of the Institute of Mathematics, frowned and asked, "Didn't you notice it a few days ago?"

"It's not like he's been locked up for nine days. In the first few days, when we called him to eat, he would come out to eat. But three days ago, he wouldn't come out anymore. He would just order takeout for meals. And today... he wouldn't come out at all," said Hu Guangde.

Today, Xi Lan came over to talk to Xiao Yi about tomorrow's report meeting. But who would have thought that when they came and knocked on the door, Xiao Yi did not come out to open the door. They called, and the call went through, but no one answered.

Thinking of this, worried expressions appeared on their faces.

"It's my fault too." Hu Guangde sighed, "I thought he was preparing for the report these days, so I didn't think much about it."

Xi Lan shook her head: "Forget it, let's not scare ourselves, maybe they just didn't hear it."

Hu Guangde nodded, this should be the most likely option.

At this time, the hotel waiter also arrived with a spare room card.

As soon as the door opened, the two academicians rushed into the room and looked for Xiao Yi.

Soon, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and then they did not know whether to laugh or cry.

I saw Xiao Yi sleeping on the table at this time.

He was sleeping so soundly that no wonder there was no response even though they knocked on the door hard.

"This kid...it seems like he has put a lot of effort into preparing this report." Xi Lan turned her gaze to the desk where Xiao Yi was lying.

I saw the desk was filled with various draft papers, all of which were filled with mathematical derivation processes.

The laptop in front of me was not closed, but the screen was black and it went into sleep mode.

The two academicians seemed to be able to imagine such a scene in their minds: at three or four o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yi was still earnestly preparing for the upcoming lecture, until one moment, he could not bear it anymore, so he fell down on the table and slept until nine o'clock now.

This also made them involuntarily think of their own youth, when sometimes they would stay up until the middle of the night because of academic research. When they woke up the next day, they found that they had fallen asleep on the table.

For a moment, the two old men looked at Xiao Yi in a more amiable manner.

Hu Guangde stepped forward and patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder: "Xiao Yi, wake up, if you want to sleep, go to bed."

Finally, Xiao Yi woke up.

He opened his sleepy eyes and was a little dazed when he saw the two academicians in front of him.

This is...

Just fell asleep on the table?
However, he soon recovered his spirit. After all, he was a young man, and for him, because his sleep quality was good enough, even if he only slept for 4 hours, he could fully cope with the whole day. However, since he needed to keep thinking during the day, he would ensure that he slept for 7 hours every day.

"Academician Hu, and Academician Xi, why are you here?" he asked.

The two academicians burst out laughing.

After explaining, Xiao Yi looked embarrassed and apologized: "I'm sorry to have worried you. I was doing research last night and forgot the time. I finally dozed off and slept on the table."

"It's okay, as long as you're fine." Xi Lan patted Xiao Yi's shoulder with a smile: "There are not many young people like you. It's very rare to do research until late at night. Of course, no matter what, health is the most important."

"You're right." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Also, I came to you to ask if you have prepared the report for tomorrow."

"Well... I'm ready." Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "But I want to ask, how long can I speak tomorrow?"

"At most?" Xi Lan was stunned when she heard this question: "The lecture will start at 2:30 pm. You can speak until 5:30 pm."

"Even if you can't finish your talk, you can continue the next day. It's not a problem."

"But what are you going to say? Will it be long?"

Academician Xi was somewhat puzzled, and of course, Hu Guangde next to him also felt a little puzzled.

Didn’t I say before that half an hour to forty-five minutes would be enough?

Xiao Yi turned around, glanced at the draft papers on the desk, and replied: "Well, in addition to what happened at the discussion meeting that day, I also plan to talk about some new things."
