Chapter 139 Get ready for the test of the world of mathematics
Huaguo, Shanghai Beijing International Airport.

A huge plane passed through the sky and finally landed on the airport runway. The huge wheels made a loud noise as they rolled, and the speed of the plane also dropped rapidly, and finally slowed down.

"Let's go, lads." Xu Ji greeted the three young men, then they got off the plane together and came to the arrival hall.

It's just that when they came to the arrival hall, they saw a few people standing at the exit holding a sign, and on the sign was "Lin Xiao".

Several people were taken aback.

"Lin Xiao, is that looking for you?"

"I...don't know." Lin Xiao shook his head, no one informed him beforehand, of course he didn't know, "Maybe they have the same name and surname?"

Xu Ji suddenly remembered something at this moment, and said, "I guess, it's you."

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw that the people holding the signs seemed to have seen them too, and then they walked up and came to Lin Xiao.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Xiao?"

one of them asked.

"it's me."

Lin Xiao said, Ganqing and the gang really came to him.

A smile appeared on that person's face, and he said, "I am the secretary of the Secretariat of the State Council. Our leader hopes to meet and chat with you."

Lin Xiao was shocked immediately.

What?
The leaders of the National Council want to see him?

And Xiao Zhou and Xiao Shi next to him were also shocked.

Is this the treatment that proves Goldbach's conjecture?

In the eyes they looked at Lin Xiao, besides envy, there was only envy left.

This is what you learn!

And Xu Ji, who was at the side, couldn't help showing surprise in his eyes.

When he saw these people, he had a feeling that these people belonged to the State Council. After all, he had frequent contact with these people.

Then he thought of the fact that the CCTV reporter came directly to interview Lin Xiao, and he felt that he had guessed it.

After all, the influence of Goldbach's conjecture is still very large in China. After Chen Jingrun proved 1+2 back then, it became a kind of publicity event because of his contribution in a special period. Then a writer named Xu Chi dedicated It was made into a reportage and published in "People's Literature".

At that time, "People's Literature" had a great influence, and at that time there were no mobile phones and computers, no modern Internet, and people could use these articles for entertainment.

So, people knew about Goldbach's conjecture. Although people couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent people from thinking it was awesome, especially when a world-class problem was added in front of it, and it was solved by Chinese people.

At that time, people would have a sense of pride in such things, so they also sent the reputation of Goldbach's conjecture to a higher status.

This is also why the most popular "prove" problem among Chinese folk scientists is Goldbach's conjecture.

But now, a young mathematics genius who is not a civilian scientist and is well-known in the international mathematics community has proved this conjecture. Of course, the country will pay attention.

Especially its meaning.

Perhaps, Lin Xiao will be able to conduct an exclusive interview with CCTV again?

And once Lin Xiao's achievements pass the peer review and gain the unanimous approval of the mathematics community, then the country will inevitably pay the greatest attention to this young man.

Huaguo Mathematics needs a sufficiently representative figure. I missed Qiu Chengtong, Zhang Yitang and others before, and now there is a more outstanding young man. If this is lost again, I really don’t know what to do said.

This is only domestic. In the international arena, I am afraid there will be more attention. "Time Magazine" may take the initiative to interview him, and top journals such as "Science" and "Nature" will also be willing to accept his paper submissions , various institutions or organizations related to mathematics will send invitations to him, and at the same time there are various fame and fortune...

Xu Ji suddenly didn't know how Lin Xiao would choose.

Can he bear such a temptation?
Moreover, when he was in France, he also felt that kind of academic purity, and I believe Lin Xiao felt it too.

It is also true that mathematicians all over the world are willing to go there.

But in Huaguo, where can there be such an atmosphere?
As the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences at Peking University, Xu Ji didn't know.

Just like at the end of December last year, Xu Chen, who had chatted with Lin Xiao many times, also left Huaguo and went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to be a professor.

Xu Chen voluntarily came back from the United States at the beginning, but now he has gone to the United States again. Thinking about it this way, it is also a pity.

But thinking about it better, Xu Chen's going to MIT is also a good thing for Huaguo students who go to MIT to study for a doctorate in mathematics. At least they can recruit a few Huaguo students every year.

In the end, Xu Ji could only wish Lin Xiao to live the life he wanted.

……

Of course, Lin Xiao would not refuse this kind of thing. After saying goodbye to Professor Xu Ji, Xiao Zhou, and Xiao Shi, he took a special car and went to the National Academy of Sciences.

After waiting for a while in a spacious reception room, the door opened, and a modest-looking old man wearing glasses walked in.

Seeing this old man who was often seen on TV and news, Lin Xiao quickly stood up, walked up, and shouted respectfully: "Hello!"

With a kind smile on his face, the old man said, "Student Lin Xiao, I'm sorry for asking you to come here so suddenly."

Hearing that this man offered to say sorry, Lin Xiao was flattered for a moment, stretched out his hands and shook hands with the old man, and said, "It's nothing, it's my honor to meet you."

"It's no honor." The old man shook his head: "Threesomes, there must be my teacher. I admire your achievements in mathematics."

Then he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit first, you don't need to stand and talk."

Lin Xiao nodded and sat down.

The secretary next to him stepped up and poured tea.

"Before, when the TV station interviewed you, you said that you had proved the Goldbach conjecture, didn't you?"

"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I can't guarantee it 90.00%, but there are [-]% nines."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "That seems to be very sure."

Then he sighed with emotion: "Goldbach's conjecture, in the 70s, I read the report on "People's Literature" and learned what '1+2' was proved by Mr. Chen. At that time, I I also studied at Beijing University, and I feel that you people who study mathematics are really amazing, and the whole thing is incomprehensible to ordinary people. Later, I paid attention to it for a while, and the chief designer also specifically mentioned it.”

The old man gave Lin Xiao a thumbs-up, "Now, you've finally put an end to it."

"Thank you for completing this regret for me."

The old man patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, and his tone was full of nostalgia.

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "You are welcome. For me, I have completed a difficult problem of interest. I am already satisfied with this alone."

"That's true." The old man smiled slightly, and suddenly asked again: "Now that you have completed this proof, what do you plan to do next?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback, and said, "Although the proof has been completed, an academic report and peer review are still needed to be recognized by the mathematics community, so I plan to give a report at school first."

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, the old man quickly realized what kind of benefits this would bring to Huaguo, "Mathematicians from home and abroad will come to your report, right?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes, probably many famous mathematicians will come."

It's not that he thinks he can attract people, but that Goldbach's guess is there.

As a jewel in the crown of mathematics, it is finally taken off, and it is obviously an infinitely attractive thing for every mathematician.

Whether they understand it or not, just to join in the fun and participate in this kind of historic event in the mathematics world is worth their time, and no one would want to miss it.

Even in Huaguo, a place where the mathematicians were unfamiliar with and had a language barrier, they would be happy to go there.

The old man nodded, "I see."

At this time, the secretary next to him stepped forward and whispered a few words to the old man.

After listening to the old man, he nodded slightly, then turned to look at Lin Xiao, and said with a smile: "Student Lin Xiao, proving Goldbach's conjecture is your own achievement, and it is also a kind of contribution to the country. A kind of brilliance, as long as you can continue to win glory for the country in the future, the country will definitely live up to your hopes."

Hearing what the old man said, Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will."

The old man nodded with a smile, then stood up, grabbed Lin Xiao's hand and patted it, and said like a kind elder, "That's it, even though we only chatted a few words, I still hope If you can talk a little more with a young man like you, next time we have a chance, let's have a good talk, and then don't refuse."

Lin Xiao also stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "I definitely won't refuse."

"It's a deal." The old man added, smiling at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded heavily: "It's a deal."

……

Lin Xiao was sent off by another secretary and left here.

There is deep meaning in every sentence of the old man, and his 4.35% brain development can certainly hear it.

And every word he answered came from the heart.

He got into an Audi car with a more powerful license plate, and this car will be responsible for taking him to Beijing University.

However, when he got in the car, his cell phone rang suddenly. After checking the phone number, it was from the United States.

He answered the phone suspiciously, and the voice over there rang: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lin Xiao?"

"it's me."

"Hello, I am Tremwell, Secretary-General of the American Mathematical Society. Regarding your process of proving Goldbach's conjecture, we now sincerely invite you to come to our joint mathematics conference on January 1 to give a report. We are willing to bear all your expenses, and after the meeting, we will award you the honorary fellowship of the American Mathematical Society, would you like it?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, American Mathematical Society Joint Mathematical Conference?
He has heard of this, and it can be regarded as a mathematics conference with some status in the mathematics world.

And the treatment given by the other party is also quite good, and the status of honorary member of the American Mathematical Society is still very good.

However, Lin Xiao just said: "Sorry, I have decided to give a report at my school, Peking University. If possible, I hope you can help me spread the news, thank you."

"... Then I wish your report meeting a success."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao thought for a while. He rejected the invitation and asked him to help publicize that he was going to hold a report in Huaguo. It seemed...a bit bad?
Then he shook his head, forget it, or ignore it, but the fact that he is going to hold this academic report at Shangjing University should also be spread.

He is ready to meet the test of the world mathematics community.
