From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 143 The news learned at the party
The effect brought by the proof of Goldbach's conjecture is obviously not completely over yet.

The news spread all over the country and abroad, and the media who wanted to interview Lin Xiao could almost line up around Weiming Lake for a week, based on the size of a person.

And Lin Xiao naturally appeared on the news broadcast that day.

The video I shot when interviewing Lin Xiao in Paris can finally come in handy now.

In fact, after Lin Xiao's report ended today, a reporter from CCTV interviewed him again, and it was a female reporter surnamed Wang who interviewed him back then.

Ever since, these two interview videos, together with the video in today's academic report, constitute the material for Lin Xiao's news broadcast today.

……

"Student Lin Xiao, do you think Goldbach's conjecture is difficult?"

"Of course it is difficult. After all, a mathematician once said that Goldbach's conjecture can be compared with any mathematical problem in the world."

"Then may I ask if you proved it successful?"

"If my thinking is correct, it should prove successful."

"..."

At seven o'clock every night, such an interview was broadcast in the news broadcast that started on time.

When everyone present saw this, they couldn't help laughing.

It was said earlier that this is a world-class problem, but in the next sentence, it is said that you have proved your success?
Good guy, you put this aside before suppressing it.

So the people around looked at the protagonist next to him, and laughed and joked.

"Lin Xiao, you're pretty good at paving the way."

"Is this the sense of anticipation?"

……

"You slander me! You slander me!"

Lin Xiao next to him didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This interview was part of the original interview in Paris. He didn't think too much about it when he answered it. He answered whatever he asked, but now it seems that the order of the questions was obviously intentional.

Seeing Lin Xiao's reaction, the others also laughed.

As for what they are doing here, it is actually a celebration banquet organized by Shangjing University and the Shangjing Municipal Government. After all, it is the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, so of course a party must be held.

However, this gathering is actually prepared for government officials, domestic universities, related companies, and mathematicians to communicate. Look over there, representatives of many large domestic companies and schools have gone to talk to those mathematicians.

This is the benefit of Lin Xiao arranging this academic report in Huaguo. If he can really keep a few well-known mathematicians, even if they just reach a cooperation or something, it will also bring benefits. Enterprises and schools can be regarded as accepting Lin Xiao's love.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't care about these things.

And at this moment, Professor Wiles came over.

Wiles was also invited by many Huaguo companies just now, but he rejected them all. He still has a lot of affection for his hometown, which is why he is willing to give up the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and choose to return to his alma mater in the UK to teach. , naturally not interested in these.

"Lin Xiao!"

Wiles came to Lin Xiao and waved to him.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Professor Wiles, how do you feel in China?"

"It's not bad. Huaguo is also worthy of being known as a country of etiquette. I feel very comfortable here."

Wiles replied with a smile.

It's just that although he looked normal, Lin Xiao noticed that his mood didn't seem very high.

Lin Xiao couldn't help asking: "Professor Wiles, what happened?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's question, Wiles' smile gradually became forced.

"Do you know Michael Atiyah?"

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "I know."

Although I can know this person, it is because he claimed to have proved the Riemann conjecture last year.

And this professor Atiya did not prove success, even the proof process was very simple, but no one laughed at him, and no one publicly commented, because this professor is considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of the [-]th century .

His contribution to the mathematical community is an undeniable fact, although he did not show the same level in his later years.

Wiles asked, "Is it because of Riemann's conjecture?"

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Wiles sighed, and then said: "Sir Atiyah and I are also old friends. When he was a professor at Oxford University, I still listened to his lectures. Later, I often chatted with him. But probably because of what Riemann conjectured, his health has been a little bad since October last year."

"Until a month ago, he had been hospitalized for treatment."

Lin Xiao couldn't help being taken aback: "Is it hospitalized?"

A few months ago, he was able to give academic reports and attend various academic conferences, but now he is hospitalized?
Wiles nodded, then looked around, and whispered to him again: "Well, even the doctor said that because the functions of various parts of his body are gradually failing, he may not last until January 1th. The doctor judged that it was him. I gave up in my heart."

Lin Xiao was suddenly surprised: "This..."

But suddenly he came to his senses, "January 1? Sir Atia shouldn't have...?"

Speaking of this, Wiles smiled and said: "Yes, and this also needs to thank you, because after he heard that you were likely to prove Goldbach's conjecture, he wanted to know the final result, the body function It miraculously recovered to a certain extent.”

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, which meant that he had proved Goldbach's conjecture, which made this mathematician regain his hope of life?

"What about now?" he asked.

"He was very happy when he knew the result, but..." Wiles sighed again: "Because his body had failed a few days ago, he entered the intensive care unit again because he lost consciousness three hours ago. He Asked me for your phone number four hours ago and wanted to chat with you, but you didn’t answer the phone, so in the end he could only record a video, send it to me, and ask me to forward it to you.”

"This……"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but took out his mobile phone to look, and sure enough, he found a call from England.

It's just that because there were too many calls today, he muted them, and because he was busy with other things, he basically didn't look at his phone.

As a result, such a call was missed.

He was silent for a moment, and could only say, "Sorry."

"It's okay, after all, I also know that you are very busy today, and I have experienced it before." Wiles smiled, "I have already sent the video to your mailbox, if you have time when you go back, you can watch it Look."

"Ah."

"Okay, it's time for me to go back to the hotel. I'm going to fly back to England tomorrow morning. I hope I can see him for the last time."

"Okay, goodbye." Lin Xiao nodded.

Wiles patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, "Well, goodbye, future Professor Lin, I look forward to hearing about your amazing achievement again next time."

Then, the tall and thin scholar left here.

Lin Xiao watched Wiles leave, and thought of the life-sustaining relationship that had nothing to do with him originally, but was established because of Goldbach's conjecture, which made him feel a little strange.

Proved a conjecture, can arouse others' desire for life?
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that this miraculous but seemingly logical relationship also reflected the wonder of life.

"Life, surely it also occupies a very important part in the truth?"

He sighed.

The existence of life and consciousness is really full of magic.

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

"For this question, maybe you have to ask the group of people in the School of Life Sciences, but if you want to know why materials that are obviously composed of the same element can show such a big difference, I think I can give you some advice. A little explanation, I believe, this is also a kind of truth you want to pursue, right?"
