Chapter 312 The hanging heart finally died
On December 12, it was still the Christmas holiday, at 31 . local time, Professor Stewart was having afternoon tea with his friend Seker Holmes at the farm.
While enjoying the warm winter sun, Seker asked with a smile: "You actually have time to come here to drink tea with me, is there any news from Xia Country?"
Stuart shook his head.
"Xu Qingzhou, that's his name, right? He's a very capable guy. Gerrit Boyle from Princeton thinks highly of him and was full of praise for him when we met last time."
"I am looking forward too."
Professor Stewart shrugged and smiled faintly. Although he was a little panicked, his self-esteem did not allow him to show cowardice in front of outsiders.
The outcome is still unknown until the end.
From the time Xu Qingzhou announced the proof of Polignac's conjecture to the present, his team has been continuing to advance calculations in an orderly manner.
He took some time out from his busy schedule to give investors confidence and prove that the team had not given up.
Hey~
The cell phone rang. It was his student Dennis calling.
Looking at the incoming call number, Professor Stewart had a bad feeling for some reason. Perhaps, he was telling me that Xu Qingzhou's proof had failed.
He comforted himself in this way and answered the phone.
"Professor, I just saw some bad news"
Hearing this, Professor Stewart's heart sank.
"Yeah, I understand, yeah."
Secker found that after the call was connected, his old friend seemed to have aged by a dozen years in an instant.
He vaguely guessed what the news was.
Soon, Professor Stewart hung up the phone and sat in the chair in a daze.
Seker didn't bother him.
The two of them just sat there quietly. In the distance, a cold wind was blowing, blowing up the few dead leaves still remaining on the bare branches, and slowly dropping them to the ground.
"Secretary, I think I need to take a break." Professor Stewart stood up.
The most painful thing is to be frustrated when you are full of ambition.
Seeing his old friend lose his energy in an instant, Secker comforted him: "Hey, old friend, I still want to say that your research is not worthless."
"Everyone can remember the first person to climb Mount Everest, but who cares about the second one?" Professor Stewart forced a smile.
Secker moved his mouth, looked at his old friend's back as he left, and could only sigh helplessly. He wanted to say, "In 1956, a Swiss mountaineering team led by Albert Egger climbed Mount Everest for the second time in human history."
But as an old friend, he knew better that Stewart was a consequentialist.
In particular, this time they were defeated by the Xia Kingdom, which Stuart himself looked down upon.
Secker shook his head and sipped his coffee. Xu Qingzhou: Well, a very interesting young man.
On the 31st, at 12: am Kyoto time, the official website of Kyoto University released an announcement: Good news! Another major breakthrough in the field of mathematics, Xu Qingzhou successfully proved the Polignac conjecture!
For those who are interested in number theory, this can be said to be shocking news.
Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Imperial College of Science, India.
Eight people sat in the conference room, headed by Professor Yajil, the head of the research team.
Until they saw the news from Xia Country and the official website of "Mathematical Inventions" half an hour ago, they, like Professor Stewart, were finally worried.
The conference room was even more depressing than it had been a dozen days ago.
Previously, everyone still held a glimmer of hope, praying that this was just a mistake, and praying to hear the news that Xu Qingzhou had failed to prove his mistake. However.
If he was awaiting execution last time, this time he was directly executed.
Professor Yagier said: "I regret to inform you that our plan for the Polignac conjecture has been suspended."
Everyone looked a little depressed.
A complete defeat.
The Indian guy who had met Xu Qingzhou once was also depressed and even a little desperate.
It has only been eight months since Xu Qingzhou announced in April that he had proved the twin prime conjecture, and he has solved a problem that has troubled the mathematical community for more than a hundred years. Geniuses are indeed unreasonable.
It is hard to imagine how a 19-year-old who has devoted so much energy to physics has the time to solve the Polignac conjecture.
Could it be that this guy is an alien?
He didn't know that Xu Qingzhou didn't really spend much energy on physics. There was no way around it, because Xu Guabbi used to study physics.
Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Professor Yajier knocked on the table and said, "Okay, everyone, we don't have time to be sad. The most important thing next is to organize the unpublished papers and make sure they are published before other research groups."
In addition to their team, Xu Qingzhou and Professor Stewart are studying the Polignac conjecture. As far as he knows, there are people in Cambridge, Princeton, etc. who are trying to win this crown. These people may not be able to catch up with them, but they will definitely have results.
Now that the conjecture has been proven, there is no need for the major research groups to hide their knowledge any longer. The most important thing is to publish the papers and release the results before other research groups.
After all, there will always be overlapping studies.
Once the other party sends first, your message will become a piece of waste paper.
Yandong Garden.
When Xu Qingzhou received the news, he was curled up on the sofa playing games with school beauty Song. This year, they were the only two people spending New Year's Eve together, while Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui were dating alone.
Chu Jiangfeng said excitedly on the phone, "Xiao Xu, you succeeded!"
"That's good."
"You must have been anxious waiting for this period of time?" Chu Jiangfeng asked with a smile.
Xu Qingzhou was startled, thinking back to the time from the 21st until now, eating and drinking every day. Then he looked at the school beauty Song who was sitting cross-legged with a sullen face, and said against his will, "I am a little anxious."
We still have to cooperate with the old professors, who have worked hard for so many days to verify
"At present, the school plans to hold a report meeting between the 10th and the 20th. You can decide the specific time. After all, it takes time to prepare the report."
Chu Jiangfeng continued.
Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "No. 10."
I want to finish this as soon as possible. Next, I want to concentrate on harmonic analysis and other things. I have been studying number theory for more than a year. It's time to change my taste.
"During the next period of time, you should prepare your report well. You don't need to worry about the report meeting."
"Thank you, Professor."
"Okay, you have a good rest."
"Goodbye Professor."
When Xu Qingzhou finished the call and came out, the game was over without a big dad like him.
"Do you lose now?"
"It's all your fault!" Song Yao said hatefully.
The reason why she had a gloomy face was all because of Xu Qingzhou. She played a support role and originally chose Cai Wenji, but when she came back, she found that Xu Qingzhou had replaced her with the ugly Niu Mo.
For this, he gave the naughty guy a good beating.
Xu Qingzhou did not refute. He felt it was quite amazing to see the school beauty Song controlling the Bull Demon.
The two started the second game.
At 3 o'clock, Xu Qingzhou received another email from the editorial department of "Mathematical Inventions", which basically thanked Xu Qingzhou again for his trust in the journal and stated that it would be published in early January.
I originally planned to have a good rest, but dozens of emails appeared on my computer.
Maynard Professor and Fields Medal winner Gerrit Boyle.
They were all congratulatory emails, and at the end, Xu Qingzhou was invited to give a lecture.
There are more direct ones, such as Abby Baker, the leader of the American group in LHC contact, who directly said in an email that as long as Xu Qingzhou is willing to go out, "any request can be met."
Since they were all acquaintances, Xu Qingzhou had no choice but to stop playing badly and sit in front of the computer again. He emailed back to these big names in the mathematics world one by one to express his gratitude, while politely declining everyone's invitations to him.
