From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 66 Interview with China Youth Daily
Shangjing University.

Formerly known as the Imperial University, this century-old prestigious school has experienced many vicissitudes, but what has never changed is the place where it was founded, which is still beautiful.

At this moment, nearly a dozen people surrounded a lawn near the International Institute of Mathematics of Peking University.

And among these ten or so people, several are mathematics professors from the School of Mathematical Sciences, Xu Ji and Zhou Wu are among them. In addition, there are several big bosses, including the dean, so that the side from time to time When some students passed by, when they saw these big guys, they all wanted to go up and say hello.

However, when they wanted to say hello, Zhou Wu waved his hand at them to stop them.

Although he is the deputy director of the Department of Mathematics, as the lowest seniority among these bosses, he is responsible for keeping these students from shouting.

As for why the shouting was not allowed, it was because an interview was going on in the middle.

A photographer from "Huaqing Daily" set up a camera, and the camera was facing a young student.

It was Lin Xiao.

And standing opposite him was a reporter from "Huaqing Daily", a beautiful young female reporter named Zou Xiaoling.

"Student Lin Xiao, hello."

"Hello, Reporter Zou." Lin Xiao smiled sincerely.

There is no way, when faced with the 150 million oceans spread by Shangjing University, he can't help but be sincere.

So even though he is not from Shangjing University yet, he also went to Shangjing University to be interviewed. Look at the Boya Tower that happened to be exposed behind him, and the Weiming Lake with a few ducks swimming on it.

This soft advertisement is absolutely perfect.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect Lin Xiao, who can solve world-class problems, to be so young. Are you really 17 years old this year?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Actually, what I want to correct is that I am 18 years old, born in 2000, and my birthday is in February."

"Of course, if it is calculated based on the time when I sent the paper to the "Annual Journal of Mathematics", in January, I was indeed 17 years old and under 18 years old."

"It turns out that's the case, but it's not bad. It doesn't matter if you are 17 or 18 years old, it's amazing to be able to make such an achievement." Reporter Zou smiled and continued: "Then, I don't know how to make such an achievement." With such an achievement, how do you feel?"

"In terms of impressions, it's pretty good, at least it proves that what I've learned is meaningful." Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "As for being able to get so many recognitions, it's also an additional meaning. .”

"Hehe, it seems that Lin Xiao is a person who loves to learn. I heard that you are still in the third year of high school. Have you started to teach yourself mathematics in college?" The female reporter nodded and then asked.

"Well, I have basically read all the mathematics books for undergraduates, and now I have started to study the contents for graduate students." Lin Xiao nodded.

"Wow, that's really amazing." The female reporter couldn't help admiring. Every time she interviewed such a young but powerful person, she had to feel sincerely ashamed of the gap between people.

It is really incomparable.

"So you used the university knowledge you learned to solve such a world-class problem. How do you feel about the difficulty in the process of solving it? Is it difficult? After all, it is a world-class problem."

"The difficulty must be difficult." Lin Xiao nodded, deeply convinced, and at the same time recalled the nine hours he spent solving this problem, "That was really nine hours of suffering..."

The female reporter was taken aback: "Nine hours?"

"That's right." Lin Xiao said, "It took me nine hours to do it. It was the first time I encountered such a difficult problem. When I did other competition problems before, it took me an hour at most. .”

In fact, being able to write it in nine hours has a lot to do with the time of the original sage, otherwise, God knows how long it would have taken him to finish writing.

However, when he said this, the people around were silent.

What they were thinking at this time was the same as Xu Hongbing back then.

Nine hours, what a Jill!
If you can produce this kind of paper that can be published in the top four top journals within [-] hours, it is considered awesome, but you can finish it in [-] hours, are you still human?
How dare you compare it with the competition questions you did, is this of the same level?
Even a female reporter who doesn't know much about mathematics felt that this was a bit outrageous. In the end, she could only laugh dryly and say, "You really deserve to be a math genius. Besides, I'm also curious, why did you want to solve the problem in the first place?" What about this question?"

Lin Xiao touched his nose, now it was his turn to be embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Xiao's appearance, the female reporter asked.

"Well, it's actually like this..."

Lin Xiao finally told the truth about the situation.

But hearing what Lin Xiao said, everyone present had a sense of déjà vu.

Why is it so like the case of Gauss, the prince of mathematics?
Classic re-enactment?
Then Gauss spent one night solving the problem of how to make a regular heptagon with a ruler. Lin Xiao spent nine hours proving a prime number problem?
Is this a coincidence between geniuses?
Everyone present realized that no matter what, when this story got out, as long as Lin Xiao could achieve certain achievements in mathematics in the future, even if it was inferior to Gauss, the position in future textbooks that would be used to promote Gauss's deeds was very likely. It will become a publicity of Lin Xiao's deeds.

The subsequent interviews continued, but the few professors of mathematics at Peking University who were standing next to them could only sigh in their hearts.

Every question in the interview, Lin Xiao's answer made them feel incredible.

Let’s just say that Lin Xiao has already read all the books in the undergraduate course of mathematics. Such an eagerness to learn is definitely the kind of student teachers like them could only dream of.

Xu Ji also remembered that when he found Lin Xiao, the student was listening to Li Qun's report on expressing the theory, and he even understood it. Later Zhou Wu said that when he found Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao was giving a speech to a person next to him. It should be a question in the postdoctoral girl's report.

The postdoctoral fellow didn't understand it, but he actually understood it and was able to explain it to others.

In this regard, Xu Ji can only say that this student is going to be settled in the future, and even Jesus can't stop him, he said.

Of course, one of the admission requirements provided by Shangjing University to Lin Xiao is that after he enters the school, he can choose three professors to be his tutors.

Looking at it now, let alone three, even if you choose ten, it is estimated that no professor in the whole college is willing to refuse.

And among this group of professors, there was actually a professor from Qinghua Department of Mathematics who came to spy on the military situation.

Looking at Lin Xiao's interview, he couldn't help but said sourly: "He is not from your school, and you still let him come here for interviews, are you sorry?"

"You can control it?" Xu Ji said.

Qinghua's professors are even more sour, why can't they get such students?
