From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 56 solemnly introduces a 17-year-old math genius!
"Finally found a proof that there are infinitely many prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence."

After seeing the 'Fibonacci Sequence', David's eyes lit up, and then he turned it out and downloaded the PDF file in the mailbox.

"Huh? This author's name is... Lin Xiao? From Huaguo?"

After seeing the name, David froze for a moment.

"Maybe an ABC."

I thought about it for a while. After all, it was Professor Sanak who entrusted me. The person he introduced should also be from the United States, right?

ABC is the abbreviation of American Chinese.

For David, the Chinese-looking people he usually sees basically have green cards in their hands, and they speak more authentic English than him, because he is an Irishman.

The Irish speak English and are often ridiculed for wearing a muzzle.

Of course, the key to David's disbelief is that this is a thesis written by Huaguo people, or because the results of this thesis are not like the achievements of Huaguo people.

The achievements of the Chinese in mathematics are outstanding in the world, but the Chinese are not outstanding at all. Although the middle school students in the Chinese country often get the team No.1 in the IMO competition, even the IMO players in the United States are basically Chinese. So much so that every year when IMO games are played, they are dubbed "civil war" by Chinese people.

But all in all, David subconsciously believed that this must have been made by a certain Chinese American, and even if it wasn't, it should be Chinese from other countries.

Afterwards, he continued to look at other information about this person named Lin Xiao.

"Age...17...I'm Defa?"

17 years old?
Are you kidding me?
17...isn't that the age to be in some high school and join the baseball club?

As a result, this difficult problem that has troubled the world's mathematics community for an unknown number of years has been solved?

Unbelievable, really unbelievable, even made David wonder if this person named Lin Xiao made a mistake.

But then, he saw the person's address and organization.

The address is Unit 2, Sunshine Community, Huaguo, Qin Province, Jincheng City.

The affiliated institutions are Huaguo, Qin Province, Jincheng City, Jincheng High School, senior high school students.

"Excuse-me?"

David had a black question mark on his face, and he almost didn't show the question mark above his head.

This is really a Huaguo person, or even just a Huaguo high school student?
When will such a super young genius appear in Huaguo?
He couldn't believe it, and even wondered if he had found the wrong paper, or, in other words, this guy is also the kind of paper published indiscriminately, betting that the editor of the Annual Mathematics Journal will pass the manuscript in a daze.

But no matter what, he searched through countless submissions, and found no other paper related to the Fibonacci sequence, and the title of this paper also matched exactly.

He took a deep breath, and finally he could only say in his heart: "Let's take a look first."

Then, he opened the PDF file and read the paper from the beginning.

As for the result, it was the same as the people who had read Lin Xiao's paper before. After watching it, they sank into it, and at the same time took out the draft paper and followed it up.

Until finally, he raised his head with a dazed expression on his face.

No problem, no problem at all, or he couldn't find the problem himself.

But, have all the high school students in Huaguo been able to do this?
And soon, he stood up from his seat, thinking in his heart: "I have to go to Professor Sanak and tell him the news."

As the editor of the Annual Journal of Mathematics, he does not have the ability to decide whether the paper can be published, because whether the paper can be accepted or not still needs to be reviewed by experts, that is, to be reviewed by a big cow with a certain reputation in the mathematics field.

As the winner of the 2014 Wolf Prize in Mathematics, Professor Peter Sarnak is also the editor-in-chief of their annual mathematics journal, so he can come to review this manuscript.

Soon, David found Professor Peter Sarnak. Although Professor Sarnak still has his own affairs, he learned that David asked him to review the manuscript, so he temporarily put down his work.

"You said, you have read the paper that proves that the Fibonacci sequence has infinite prime numbers, and there are no problems?"

Hearing this news, Professor Peter Sarnak was a little surprised.

"Yes." David said suspiciously: "Why are you so surprised? You gave me this paper."

Professor Sanak said speechlessly: "You should read the author of this paper, right?"

"A 17-year-old high school student in Huaguo."

"That's right! I'm just a 17-year-old high school student. I didn't believe that this thesis could really prove success at first. If Professor Xu Ji from Huaguo didn't ask me to help, I wouldn't have helped."

David: "..."

So you thought it was impossible before, so why let me read it again.

"But no matter what, you will know after reading it that this paper is really amazing."

David said so, and Sanak naturally no longer refused, opened the paper, read it, and until the final result, naturally there is no need to say more.

"Unbelievable!"

Sanak was amazed, he is mainly engaged in the research of number theory, and his understanding of the methods used in this paper is naturally not comparable to that of David, he can almost see Lin Xiao's performance in every step at a glance way of thinking and mathematical methods.

"This method of building functions is really too subtle."

"It's a whole new way of thinking!"

"David, I think I have found the direction of the next topic!"

David was stunned by Professor Sanak's words one after another. Professor Sanak actually saw a new topic direction from this paper?
It also……

A bit outrageous, right?
Why can't I see so many things?
It seems that this paper needs more research.

"So, according to your meaning, it means that this paper can be published, right?"

"No, no, the review process still has to go."

Sanak shook his head: "For such an important achievement, the rigor that should be there is still necessary."

Not to mention their Mathematics Annual, any paper that has been drafted needs to go through a preliminary review and review by several experts before it can be officially published.

This is respect for mathematics and respect for all mathematics people.

"I see, I'll contact other reviewers right away." David responded.

"Well, of course, from my point of view, this paper has been perfected. I believe that other people will not have too many problems. If there is no problem with the review, then arrange to publish it as soon as possible. At least before I finish the project, I can Please cite this paper."

Sanak joked, and they both laughed.

David: "Then I will contact you as soon as possible, but the paper for the March issue has been confirmed, so we can only wait for the May issue."

"Well, go ahead, oh, by the way, I have to add a comment to this paper."

David was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Please tell me."

Professor Sarnak said with a smile: "This paper uses a breakthrough innovative method to open the door to the prime number problem... Then, let us introduce to the world a 17-year-old mathematical genius !"

　Secretly publish another chapter without letting the editor know.

　　Lie.
