From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 169 Proving the direction of the twin prime number conjecture?
"Professor Kayman, what do you think of Lin Xiao's response to you will still be limited to 36 steps?"

In front of the camera, Kayman sat on a single sofa, crossed his legs, looked like a successful person, and said: "I have already expected what Lin Xiao said, and I have realized it before. My method has limits, so lately I've been trying to perfect my method."

"Oh? So you already knew about it."

"Yes." Kayman nodded slightly, and said, "Lin Xiao is indeed very talented in mathematics, but of course no one knows better than me about my own methods."

The reporter nodded with a smile, and said, "It should be so. After all, you are the mathematician who has achieved another breakthrough in the twin prime number conjecture. So, are you sure about your own method?"

Kayman was modest this time: "I'm not sure yet. In mathematics, no one can say that he will succeed, especially the twin prime number conjecture, a pearl in mathematical conjecture. It is not difficult. lower than the Goldbach conjecture."

"But..." Suddenly he changed the subject again: "I believe I am the person closest to the answer to the twin prime conjecture."

Hearing Kayman's words, the reporter nodded with a smile and asked again: "So, what do you want to say to Lin Xiao?"

Facing the camera, Kayman said: "The mathematics world cannot be successful all the time if you are talented, and you need patience."

The reporter smiled and said: "Okay, I believe this is also your life experience as a senior in the mathematics field, and I hope it can guide young geniuses."

Then he nodded to the photographer, signaling that it was over, then he stood up, extended his hand to Kayman, and said, "Thank you, Professor, for your cooperation."

"Hmm." Kayman nodded, stood up and shook hands with the reporter, and asked, "Is the interview over?"

"Yes, it's over, and then we'll put you directly on the front page. Our citizens are all in admiration of your achievements."

"Hahaha, after all, it is the twin prime number conjecture, and it is reasonable for the citizens to be interested."

Kayman laughed, of course he also saw the praise of those American citizens on the Internet.

This also gave him great psychological satisfaction.

The reporter nodded and said, "At that time, Americans will know that you, on behalf of us, have educated that Chinese math genius."

"I've said it all, don't say he is a mathematical genius." Kayman waved his hand: "I don't like this kind of so-called genius. It disturbs the order of the mathematics world and affects other people's results. It is really annoying. "

He will never forget that his more than ten years of hard work on Goldbach's conjecture, so many papers and so many draft papers he produced, were all completely useless because of Lin Xiao's proof that afternoon.

Hearing what Kayman said, the smile on the reporter's face became brighter, "Okay, I won't call him that in front of you anymore."

Then, he and the photographer next to him said goodbye to Kaymanian and left.

Back in their car, the reporter took out a recording pen from his pocket and pressed the button to stop recording.

The photographer next to him saw this and couldn't help but say, "Has it all been recorded?"

"of course."

"It's really you, Myron." The photographer couldn't help but said, "No wonder you always make big news."

"Hehe, this is the basic operation of our journalistic circle." Myron waved his hand and said with a smile: "Also, there is a saying in our journalistic circle that you must always be vigilant about any microphone, because you cannot guarantee whether it is really turned off or not. .”

The photographer clicked his tongue and said, "If Professor Kayman's last words are released, he will definitely be miserable."

"No, no, this is just to ensure that we can make money in the end. If he can win against Lin Xiao from Huaguo, then of course we have to work harder to praise him. If he fails in the end, this recording can also let us Make a lot of money."

Myron laughed.

As long as they ensure that they can make a steady profit, it will be fine. Helping Caymanian now is for their sense of pride in the United States. How can a Chinese person take the lead in such a matter in the scientific world?With this, it will definitely attract the attention of many readers.

Afterwards, if Caymanian fails, they will send out the recording to attract readers' attention again and squeeze out the last use value of Caymanian.

It seems that this time can earn a lot of bonuses.

Myron has already begun to think about who to find next.

……

Library of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris.

Lin Xiao sat in his seat, quietly watching the papers related to twin prime numbers.

There are also many other students who are reading books around, and they will be surprised when they recognize Lin Xiao. Among the less than [-] students at Paris Normal University, most of them know this world-class mathematician.

Of course, after being surprised, they will all start to do their own things again.

The students here are all the best students in the world. Unless they have a very good relationship with Lin Xiao, like Alex, otherwise they will not spend too much time worshiping Lin Xiao.

And such an environment also made Lin Xiao feel comfortable.

After he posted the article on his Facebook, he stopped paying attention to the news from the outside world, but concentrated on studying his own problems.

"Sieve circle... sieve circle, and prime number pairs..."

After writing down a few simple formulas on the draft paper, Lin Xiao touched his chin and fell into a tangle.

The sieve circle method combines the sieve and the circle, and puts each prime number into the geometric meaning of the unit circle, and then sieves through the sieve method.

"Geometric meaning..."

Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that he used graph theory and topology to study the bonding mechanism of titanium.

Topology...knot theory...

"If I represent prime numbers here as kinks, and consider the distance between them..."

No matter, try it first.

Then, he tried it on draft paper.

Go when you have an idea, and start over if you don’t find the final foothold.

This is true for any research.

As for Lin Xiao, his nearly 5% brain development rate makes it difficult for him to flash an idea, but once an idea flashes through, it may be like a scalpel pass in football, straight to the point.

Because he can easily pass an idea that doesn't work, and won't study it in depth at all, and if he can't pass an idea, then it is very likely that this is the one he wants.

In the past few days, he has passed a few ideas, but can this idea succeed now?
As two hours passed, Lin Xiao's eyes gradually brightened.

It seems that there is a play?

In this way, he put the useful draft paper on the left, and he threw the useless draft paper on the ground.

His mathematics research often only needs a laptop computer for checking information, enough scratch paper, and a pen.

Therefore, in his schoolbag, the thickest and heaviest thing in his schoolbag is often the draft paper, which is basically a few hundred pages as a base, and it will be replenished when it is used up.

As a result, the people around saw that the stack of draft paper on his right was getting higher and higher, and by visual inspection, there were at least thirty or forty sheets of draft paper.

Occasionally, when a student was about to leave, when he passed behind Lin Xiao, he would glance at the things on Lin Xiao's draft paper curiously, and then he would quickly look away as if he was being mentally attacked.

Only a few students from the Department of Mathematics can barely withstand this kind of mental attack, take a few more glances, and then shake their heads with a wry smile and leave.

Without him, what Lin Xiao wrote was beyond their comprehension.

After all, it is to write the problems of number theory into the field of topology. Without enough knowledge, it is of course impossible to understand those mathematical formulas.

In this way, from ten o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xiao put a piece of draft paper in the upper left corner again, and then took out the draft paper from his schoolbag, but at this time, he couldn't take it out.

"Huh? Are you done?"

After recovering from the state of immersion, there is no paper, so I can only stop.

However, since there was still something to write down, he took out his tablet computer and wrote down the remaining few lines of calculations on it.

"Well, I happen to be hungry too, so I'm going to eat."

Thinking of this in his heart, he suddenly saw that Professor Searle had sent himself a message.

Professor Searle asked him to go to the office.

"It was posted half an hour ago, so it should be in time."

So after he returned a message to Professor Searle, he quickly left the library and went to Professor Searle's office.

Professor Searle was indeed still there. Seeing Lin Xiao walking in, Searle smiled and said, "Here we are."

"Well, I'm sorry, Professor, I was in the library before and didn't see your message."

"I guessed you should be in the library."

Searle smiled. He had also heard about Lin Xiao's state of immersion when he entered the learning state.

"The recent incidents didn't affect you, did they?"

"Recent incident?" Lin Xiao asked, "Is it about the twin prime number conjecture?"

"Yes."

"That's not true." Lin Xiao shook his head: "Although it sounds a bit infuriating, but after thinking about it carefully, there is nothing to care about."

"Very good." Searle nodded in satisfaction. Being able to have this mentality shows that he doesn't need to teach Lin Xiao some things.

This also made him shake his head helplessly. What else can he, an old man, teach Lin Xiao?
Without thinking too much, he asked, "So what have you been researching recently?"

"The twin prime conjecture."

Purcell was taken aback, Lin Xiao said just now that there is nothing to care about, and now he wants to study this issue again?

He couldn't help smiling: "It seems that you still care a little bit."

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It's just a coincidence. After I heard that Professor Kayman made a breakthrough on the twin prime number conjecture, I planned to prove this conjecture, but I didn't expect him to say those words later."

"So that's the case." Searle nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then I wish you can complete this work and give that guy a hard blow."

"That's exactly what I thought."

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Well, of course, encountering this kind of thing can also bring a little storm to your life, so that it will not be too peaceful." Searle said: "However, in addition to learning, we also need to experience more Take a look at different life, such as club activities or something."

"It is inevitable to put pebbles, gravel and fine sand in your life jar, because only in that way can your life be more fulfilling."

"I see, Professor."

"Okay, it's time for me to get off work."

Searle smiled kindly, then got up, and left here side by side with Lin Xiao.
