The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 81 Melancholy of Other Geniuses

The Basic Science Park of HUST is home to some HUST institutes related to basic science, including the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Theoretical Physics, but the main one is the Institute of Mathematics.

At the north gate of the park is Beijing Fourth Ring Road West, and at this time, a group of young people were walking towards the west of the road.

These young people came from the nearby Shangjing University.

They are all students at Shangjing University, the top university in China.

Of course, to be more specific, they are all students of the 2020 Mathematics Talent Class of Shanghai University.

Everyone can be called the math genius of the year.

However, at this time, they came to attend a lecture by another genius of the same age as them.

"Oh my god, look, this is God Xiao's poster!"
When they arrived at the door, someone pointed at the poster at the door and exclaimed.

Chen Muhua walked up, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the poster, and then shared it in their joint entrance examination group.

[We have arrived at the entrance of the Basic Science Park of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Xiao Shen’s poster is so handsome! ]

Soon, the group became lively again.

However, after posting the photo, Chen Muhua stopped joining the group chat and instead looked at Xiao Yi's poster with a slightly absent-minded look in his eyes.

At this time, Lupin also walked up, took a look at the poster, and then patted Chen Muhua on the shoulder.

"Old Chen, let's not think too much about it."

Chen Muhua came back to his senses, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's always hard not to overthink."

In the past, he truly regarded Xiao Yi as a peer in the group, and even thought that they could become friends in the future.

However, it had only been a short time since then, and the other party had already become something he could not understand.

He published papers in top journals, was invited by top international mathematics institutes to attend academic conferences, and even did something big by disproving the theory of a top scholar.

And now, the other party is able to hold lectures in the country's highest mathematical academic institution, such as the Institute of Mathematics.

As a participant who came here because of the reputation of the conference, I will sit in the audience and watch others speak on the stage. They are not just facing me, but almost all the mathematical scholars and students in the Shangjing mathematics circle.

I heard that this symposium will have more than a dozen academicians, as well as a large number of Changjiang Scholars and Young Elite Scientists, not to mention professors.

Anyway, Chen Muhua imagined himself giving a report in front of this group of people——

I'm already starting to get nervous.

"Don't think too much, let's go in first."

Lupin spoke again at this time.

When Chen Muhua came to his senses, he saw that their people had already started walking into the park.

He sighed and shook his head, and finally hurried to follow.

Following the instructions on the map, they finally arrived in front of the South Building.

The building in front of us is where the report is about to begin.

Downstairs, you can see several large posters. In the posters, Xiao Yi is facing a blackboard full of mathematical formulas, and his eyes seem to be filled with wisdom.

"You guys are here too."

At this time, a voice sounded from the side of their group.

They all looked over and showed surprised expressions.

"Teacher Cao, you actually came to listen to Xiao Yi's report!"

The person in front of them was their head teacher, Professor Cao Ping. They had never expected that they would be able to meet their head teacher here.

Cao Ping laughed: "Look at what you said, it seems that I shouldn't come. There are several academicians from our school who are here."

Chen Muhua and the others immediately scratched their heads in embarrassment.

"I won't say much to you. Go in early and try to get a good seat. Listen carefully to how Xiao Yi gives his report. It may still be a bit far-fetched for you, but maybe you will experience it in the future. Learn from it well."

Professor Cao Ping gave some instructions and then left. Seeing this, Chen Muhua and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one said anything, but their thoughts became more and more complicated.

Soon, a group of people entered the large lecture hall with more than 600 seats. The small front half was for scholars, and the large back half was for students.

There were basically not many seats left, so after Chen Muhua and his friends arrived, they quickly went to the student seats and found an empty seat and sat down.

The report would not start for another ten minutes, so they were discussing while waiting for the last ten minutes to pass.

……

On the other side, it's seven o'clock in the morning in England.

In Maynard's office, he turned on his computer early, and with the help of his colleagues, he entered the Chinese website.

The colleague next to him is a Chinese named Yu Can, who is currently an associate professor of mathematics at Oxford University.

"Fortunately, this report was live-broadcasted, otherwise I would have to watch it offline."

Found the live broadcast room, Yu Can said.

"Thank you so much, Professor Yu." Maynard expressed his gratitude.

"Haha, Professor Maynard is too polite." Yu Can waved his hand and then asked curiously, "I'm just curious why Professor Maynard is suddenly interested in Xiao Yi's report."

“He sent me an email some time ago to discuss the possibility of combining far-Abelian geometry with automorphic forms, and I emailed him back and had a brief discussion,” Maynard said.

"But then he didn't reply to my email for a week, until yesterday when he told me he had sorted out all the problems."

“So I wanted to know what problem he was solving.”

Yu Can was stunned for a moment.

Solved all the problems?
all problems?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the theme of Xiao Yi's report.

"I remember that the topic of this report is called "ABC Conjecture, Far Abelian Geometry, and Automorphic Forms"?

Maynard was stunned for a moment, then he became excited.

"That must be it! He must have really done it!"

"This is definitely an extremely important thing for the entire number theory!"

"I must watch the entire report!"

Seeing Maynard's excitement, Yu Can, who was studying geometric topology, could probably imagine why he could achieve so many results in mathematics.

With such enthusiasm, they really deserve to achieve those results.

only……

Yu Can felt that he needed to remind him: "Um, Professor Maynard, don't you know that Xiao Yi's report is in Chinese?"

"what?"

Maynard was stunned.

For James Maynard, he really didn't realize that Xiao Yi's report was in Chinese.

After all, wherever he attended math conferences, he had mostly spoken English.

But if you think about it carefully, all the participants in this conference are Chinese, so of course they have to speak Chinese.

Finally, with the help of Yu Can, they temporarily found an AI subtitle that could translate in real time. Although its accuracy could not be guaranteed, it could be used reluctantly.

Time finally approached the time for the lecture to begin.
