Chapter 182 This is not a proper job
When Xu Qingzhou wrote the last step, the report was officially over, because Professor Maynard and others had no new ideas at this time.
The mathematicians walked out of the lecture hall discussing. For quite a few of them, although they were interested in prime numbers, this was not their research field.
After the lecture, some scholars who were attending a mathematics conference for the first time had visible excitement on their faces. The first day was so exciting, and there are still 1 more days to come!
The Indian guy's already dark face became even darker. He packed up his things silently and walked out of the lecture hall. One can only say that jealousy can make a person unrecognizable.
Academician Xu Shihui, Zhao Zhenglai and two professors from Xiaguo came over and greeted Professor Maynard. Xu Qingzhou was not surprised that the two knew each other. Academic circles such as mathematics and physics are the same. They seem to be very large, but in fact, the top group is only those people.
"Academician Xu." Xu Qingzhou greeted.
After Professor Maynard greeted Academician Xu Shihui and others, he turned to look at Xu Qingzhou and said, "Xu, I sincerely invite you to join my research project."
"Sorry, I have other projects to work on." Xu Qingzhou refused with a smile.
"Other topics? Maybe we can collaborate."
Xu Qingzhou said: "A physics experiment in quantum mechanics."
As for the twin prime conjecture, he planned to play it safe first, and it was not advisable to open champagne after a while.
"Physics experiment?"
Professor Maynard was stunned. In his opinion, Xu Qingzhou should belong to mathematics.
Academician Xu Shihui explained with a smile: "Xu Qingzhou studied both mathematics and physics at Peking University."
"I see."
Professor Maynard understood, but how could such a talented person touch the damn physics? This is not doing his job properly!
He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Xu, please consider it carefully. We can offer you the salary of an associate professor."
"Professor Maynard, the bounds of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function are not my research area. I believe you can find someone more suitable."
Xu Qingzhou still shook his head.
"That's a pity." Seeing Xu Qingzhou's firm attitude, Professor Maynard sighed helplessly, "Xu, can I have your contact information?"
Xu Qingzhou nodded: "Of course."
Professor Maynard asked for Xu Qingzhou's contact information and left in a hurry, preparing to go back and organize today's results.
On this side, Academician Xu Shihui introduced two mathematicians from Xiaguo to Xu Qingzhou: "Xiao Xu, this is Professor Han Chongqian from Fudan University, and this is Professor Qian Xicheng from Jinling University."
Xu Qingzhou greeted them politely: "Hello, Professor Han, Hello, Professor Qian."
In addition to exchanging results, the most important thing about this kind of mathematics conference is to get to know the big guys.
Professor Han Chongqian looked at Xu Qingzhou and praised him: "You are a young man, you are so young, but your achievements have already surpassed those of us old guys."
"You put a lot of pressure on me when you say that." Xu Qingzhou said helplessly.
"Old Han is telling the truth." Professor Qian Xicheng also said with a smile: "When we were your age, we were still having headaches over mathematical analysis."
After exchanging greetings for two minutes, everyone dispersed to look for experts in the same field as themselves. Such communication opportunities were rare and no one wanted to waste time.
When Xu Qingzhou went out, he found that Catherine had not left yet and was waiting for him outside.
"Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?" Catherine asked with a smile.
"Okay."
Xu Qingzhou nodded, just wanting to find a place to think about what he had gained from the lecture.
Instead of staying in the reporting building, the two went directly to a cafe next to Cambridge University.
At the outdoor cafe, the bright sunshine shines through the branches, leaving mottled shadows on the lawn. In the distance, two young people are sitting on the lawn reading a book, and some residents are camping with their children.
Xu Qingzhou stroked his fingers on the coffee cup, thinking about what he had just heard at the report meeting. Professor Maynard's results showed that if he continued to improve Zhang Yitang's mathematical methods, he might be able to achieve better results.
Yes, even though he felt that he was about to catch the tail of inspiration, but when doing research, sometimes you may feel that you are close, but in fact you are still a long way away.
Now, even he himself is beginning to doubt whether this is right.
"You were distracted while drinking coffee with a beautiful woman." A resentful voice quickly brought Xu Qing back to reality.
Xu Qingzhou smiled apologetically, took a sip of coffee, and exhaled, "I encountered a difficult problem."
"If it's about prime numbers, I probably can't help you. You're the expert in this area." Catherine paused and said, "If you're thinking about which bar to buy me a drink tonight, I can give you some suggestions."
Xu Qingzhou shrugged: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's really a problem with prime numbers."
"Have I ever told you that you are sometimes very ungentlemanly?" Catherine complained.
Hey~
At this moment, Xu Qingzhou's cell phone vibrated.
"Sorry, pick up the phone."
He stood up with his cell phone in hand and walked towards the path next to him while answering the call.
"Are you busy?" A pleasant voice came from the receiver.
"No, I just need to rest." Xu Qingzhou said with a smile, glanced at the time, and asked again: "Are you ready to go to bed?"
It's a little after 4pm here, so it should be almost midnight in Kyoto.
Song Yao said, "It's almost time. I'll read a book on the sofa and then go to bed."
Xu Qingzhou: "Are you back to the community?"
Song Yao: "Come here to clean up today. Hmm~"
The person on the other side seemed to be stretching, yawning, and leaving a suggestive ending.
Xu Qingzhou: “.”
Does this girl know how seductive her voice is?
Song Yao said, "When you come back, let's go to the furniture store together and buy two desks."
Xu Qingzhou suppressed his restlessness and nodded with a smile: "Okay, nearby"
He was just about to say that there was a furniture store near Kyoto University when he suddenly heard the faint "meow" of a cat.
Huh?
Xu Qingzhou looked around and saw no cat. There was an old couple with gray hair next to him. They supported each other and walked slowly in the warm sunshine.
Song Yao asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Xu Qingzhou shook his head, smiled and said, "I've been overworking my brain these days and I'm hallucinating. I actually seemed to hear a cat meowing."
Song Yao: "I remember you like cats too?"
Xu Qingzhou nodded: "Yeah, it's cute. If you want, we can raise one when we move out."
Have a beautiful girlfriend and a cat.
perfect!
Xu Qingzhou began to fantasize about his beautiful life in the future, but his dream was soon awakened by the cool breeze. It seemed that he didn't even have a girlfriend or a cat.
"Well, wait until you come back and see."
Across from the other side, the girl was silent for a moment, and then there was a rustling sound. Xu Qingzhou thought she was putting away a book or something, and then he heard her continue, "I'm going to sleep."
Xu Qingzhou: "Okay, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingzhou had a strange look on his face. He thought to himself that she was so cold today as she hung up without saying a few words.
Is it true that love can change?
He smiled and shook his head, then turned back to the cafe door.
Seeing Xu Qingzhou sitting down, Catherine asked, "Girlfriend?"
"Is it obvious?" Xu Qingzhou asked back.
Kathryn smiled and said, "When you're on the phone, you're completely different from when you're on stage or thinking about math problems. Let me think about how to describe it. Tenderness, the kind of tenderness you have for someone you love."
"She's the one I like."
Kyoto, Yandongyuan Community.
"Whoo~"
Song Yao sat cross-legged on the sofa and patted the cat's head in her arms. "Second cat, do you know that you were almost exposed? Don't scream next time. We want to give him a surprise, understand?"
"Meow~"
