It’s always coming.

The last day of July.

Even with tens of thousands of reluctances in his heart, Lu Zhou finally stopped the unfinished research and began packing his bags, ready to travel to St. Petersburg to attend the international mathematics home conference to be held at the beginning of 8.

As for the 60-minute minute report, after a period of inner struggle, Lu Zhou finally chose to be safe and made a simple job in the field of Riemann’s zetafunction in the past few years. The summary, then uploaded thesis to the website of the International mathematics home conference.

In fact, this is actually the correct posture for reporting at the International Mathematics Conference.

Whether it’s an 45 minute or a 60-minute report, it’s not intended to be a major research release, it’s just a platform for those who have made outstanding achievements in various fields, for the past few years. The research results are summarized in a summary report.

After all, for many significant topics, especially in the field of number theory, it is too difficult to make some achievements within a few years.

Even if you think that you have paid the time and energy, you will be rewarded. It is a naive thing.

“Xiao AI, do you want me to bring a jacket in the past?”

Nanjing in the month of 8 is still in the summer. Lu Zhou is too hot to wear a short sleeve, but I heard that the weather in St. Petersburg has started to cool down, and I don’t know if it will be cold after going there.

Drifting around Lu Zhou, a drone with a small TV flicked through a string of text at a uniform speed.

Xiao AI : [… St. Petersburg is located on the Baltic coast of northwestern Russia. 59~60 degrees north latitude is a temperate continental climate. The 8 monthly temperature range is between 13 and 20. Although the temperature is not high, it is recommended that the owner wear one. A windbreaker or leather jacket, pay attention to prevent colds. (??????)??]

“This way… then take this trench coat with you.”

Looking back from the small TV, watching the stuffed case, Lu Zhou thought for a moment, pulled a few short sleeves out of the wardrobe and threw it into a black windbreaker jacket.

He remembers this dress, the last time he went to Berlin to receive the prize.

It’s been so many years in a blink of an eye, I didn’t expect it to fit on my body.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou kept feeling in his heart.

It seems that the legend about “Who proves GFB Riemann’s Conjecture, who will be immortal” is really not based on it.

He also proved a weak form of GFB Riemann’s Conjecture – GFB Riemann’s Conjecture, which has already begun to bear fruit in the eternal youth.

Just as Lu Zhou was smug in his heart, the little TV that floated beside him, the screen suddenly flashed slightly.

Xiao AI : [Master, there is a video call request, see IP is from the North American side ~ (?????)]

Xiaotong?

Or is it Vera?

I didn’t ask who it was, Lu Zhou said directly: “Help me pick it up.”

Xiao AI : [Received! (??????)??]

The screen on the screen flashed and quickly cut to the interface of the video call.

Looking back at the person who appeared on the screen, Lu Zhou had a slight surprise in his eyes, but he did not expect that the call was made by him.

“Wei Wen?”

“…Professor.”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “Hey, I suddenly thought of calling me?”

“Because of some things…” The expression opened a bit awkwardly, but at this moment Wei Wen suddenly noticed that Lu Zhou was packing his bags, so he curiously asked, “Are you going to attend the IMU conference in St. Petersburg? ?”

“Well, there is a 60-minute report there that will wait for me to go… Say, how have you been doing recently? Listen to Qin Yue, you seem to have got the qualification of Calculating Material Science at MIT. Is the livelihood over there still used to it?”

Just when he said this, I don’t know why, Wei Wei’s expression on the video suddenly became bitter.

I saw him shaking his head and sighing.

“Not very good, don’t mention it, I am… I am getting lost.”

unemployment?

The hand that finished the suitcase stopped, and Lu Zhou, standing next to the suitcase, stood up and cast an unexpected look at Wei Wen in the small TV, asking for a frown.

“Unemployed? What is the situation? Are you in trouble?”

In the impression of Lu Zhou, Wei Wen’s academic ability is good, especially in the innate talent of mathematical modeling. Since he turned to the calculation of Material Science under his own opinion, it is the vividly and thoroughly that innate talent in this area. It is said that three articles have been published in the four top publications.

Lu Zhou really can’t think of it, and MIT has any reason to reject such a good Scholar.

Not to mention your own discipline…

Even if it is with this aura, it will not be so mixed with unemployment.

Seeing Lu Zhou, it seems that the situation is not clear at all. I guess Wei Wei, who is because of what, said with a bitter smile: “Are you recently closed?”

Lu Zhou frowned and asked: “Is it ok… does this have anything to do with it?”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s just that you didn’t even hear it… it’s a little unexpected,” Sighed, Wei Wen continued. “Not just the trouble I’ve encountered alone, now the entire Chinese science and technology class of the majority of MIT’s Chinese Scholar, recently Not so good…”

It took five minutes, and Wei Wen simply told Lu Zhou about the story.

It turned out that in early July, the White House suddenly issued a special decree signed by the president, requiring the embassy to tighten the issuance of visas for study abroad.

On the surface, this seems to have nothing to do with the mathematics home as a lecturer at MIT.

But in fact, almost after the signing of this decree, MIT, Stanford and other major universities of science and technology have suddenly turned their attention to the instructors and professors of Chinese nationality, not only tightening the issuance of research funds, but even normal. The teaching behavior has taken restrictions.

It’s not just the faculty and staff who have been working for a few years, and even some Scholars who have worked in the United States for more than a decade but have not obtained US citizenship have been seriously affected.

According to the gossip, the reason for this is because people from the FBI have talked about the boards of major universities. Although it has not affected the work for the time being, such news has made many bloggers, lecturers, and professors who work at MIT feel chilling…

“…In fact, as early as two years ago, I saw some signs, but I didn’t expect to develop this step now.”

Lu Zhou said for a moment, “How do you say?”

Sighed, Wei Wen continued: “The nominal MIT Global Admissions Standard is based on the ability to “study, personality, and global vision”, but in the past two years, there has been no student from the Chinese mainland. In fact, since then, such a strong school of science and technology has become unfriendly to us.”

Lu Zhou nodded said: “This is a bit unusual.”

Although there is no explicit provision, the list of admissions issued by MIT and Stanford in the past two years does not have a student from mainland China. The only Chinese nationals are from high schools in the United States.

Now, the situation encountered by MIT Chinese National Scholar is obviously further aggravated on this basis.

“…the academic environment is becoming less and less friendly now, and ten years ago it was completely underground. I talked to the Chinese Science and Technology University of Material Science Professor about this issue some time ago, China is in nuclear fusion. The achievements of a series of cutting-edge sciences, such as the Moon Palace, have stimulated the most sensitive nerves in the United States.”

“Especially when the Ares plan failed last year, you saw it. The whole of North America is a buzz. The pessimistic mood is causing the re-emergence of McCain/Sinism. You even noticed when you were in class. Some white students are more hostile to you than just racism.”

Having said that, Wei Wen’s tone is also a bit of a taste.

“Now the entire academic community is spreading, and Congress will soon introduce stricter restrictions on the bill, which is very heart-wrenching. I don’t know how long the job can last. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe one day suddenly I will be unemployed. ”

Lu Zhou: “You are studying mathematics, is there any influence in this area?”

“I didn’t study pure mathematics after all, and I also worked with MIT’s Material Science lab. Then someone suspected that I was a spy, and people from the FBI came to me,” Wei Wen said. Shaking his head with a funny smile, “The spy who helped them with the experimental data, the spy who helped them with the research… tsk tsk, if thesis hasn’t been sent yet, I want to apply for the withdrawal.”

Lu Zhou was silent for a while and said: “…you can come to Nanjing when you can’t get along. Now the academic atmosphere here is very good. What is your annual salary at MIT? I will give you the same according to the current exchange rate. of.”

Although Wei Wen was really ready to return to China before making this call.

But I don’t know why, after hearing Lu Zhou’s invitation, he began to seriously think about this problem, but he finally hesitated.

Silenced for about a minute, he bit the clearing one’s teeth said.

“Thank you……”

“But I still want to make some results first, at least a thousand people come back.”

Even if I know the current environment, I am staring at other people’s anti-thiefs. It is very difficult to make any achievements, but he still does not want to give up.

After all, I didn’t have a chance to escape…

He always felt a little unwilling.

Although he was a bit worried that his Student Union would not have any trouble, Lu Zhou expressed his understanding of his ideas, nodded said.

“That’s outside you have to be careful, across the Pacific Ocean, even if you are in trouble, I can hardly help you.”

Wei Wen nodded, thank you: “Well, thank you for your concern, I will pay attention!”
