From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 76 Arrival in Romania
"You are mathematical geniuses who stand out from tens of thousands of people across the country. You don't need to use too many words to describe your excellence."

"Relax, you will definitely become the best team in the world."

"The motherland is looking forward to your outstanding performance. We are here and wish you a triumphant return!"

On July 7, at the Beijing International Airport.

In front of the security checkpoint for international departures, Gong Zhou, secretary-general of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, sent his last blessings to the six teenagers before the expedition.

For the Huaguo Mathematical Society, as long as Lin Xiao and the others can get the team No. 1 in the IMO, it is of course a good performance. They can get the rewards from above, so they pay more attention to this matter every year.

Of course, they are relatively relieved about the IMO national team this time.

The six players this time, probably due to the existence of Lin Xiao among them, formed a kind of catfish effect among geniuses, so that the other five players have worked hard for so many days.

Although Sun Yu, Ouyang Sheng and the others called Lin Xiao "Lin Shen" all day long, they were also studying hard. They slept for seven or eight hours a day, and the rest of the time was for studying besides eating.

Even if you can't get full marks casually like Lin Xiao, and it's even more impossible to directly study world-class problems, everyone is fighting for the goal of winning glory for the motherland.

No one will say that they saw someone so awesome that they exploded, and then they quit.

Therefore, judging from the past situation, the probability of winning the group No.1 this time is very high.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Lin Xiao and the six of them responded together.

Anyway, they are all students, so it's right to call everyone a teacher when they see them.

"Hehe, all right, let's go, then Professor Chen, I will leave the children to you."

Gong Zhou smiled and nodded, then looked at the deputy team leader Chen Qiusheng, and an accompanying observer.

As for Professor Li Huaimin, since he is the team leader and has other responsibilities, he has already left for Romania several days in advance.

Professor Chen Qiusheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've been there twice, and I'm familiar with them. I just happened to meet those old friends."

"Ah."

Without further ado, Lin Xiao and the others passed the security check and arrived at the boarding gate. Soon it was time to check in for the plane, and they boarded the plane together.

"It's my first time going abroad, and I don't know what's going on in Romania."

Sun Yu and Lin Xiao sat in a row, and he said with emotion.

Lin Xiao smiled, "Anyway, the moon in the sky is as round as in China."

Sun Yu rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, I'm talking about people outside."

"It's not just one nose and two eyes."

"That's probably it." Sun Yu nodded: "God said that if there is light, the world will have light. God said that everyone must have one nose and two eyes, then everyone will have one nose and two eyes. .”

Ouyang Sheng next to him cupped his fists towards Sun Yu: "I'm still not as good as you in terms of dog legs."

Sun Woo: "My pleasure."

Lin Xiao shook his head speechlessly, and in a few words he had to turn to this.

He simply put on the earphones and listened to Rachmaninoff, then took out the group representation theory from his school bag and looked at it. It was not convenient to study Mersenne prime numbers on the plane, so he had to read books.

Group representation theory is the direction he is currently studying, and his research on Lie groups has reached a very deep level. In the process, group representation theory, a powerful tool for research groups, makes him think that he must continue Part of the multi-research study.

And this book is also compiled by a foreign master mathematician, the content is very difficult, and it is all in English.

Of course, since Lin Xiao had studied group theory and Lie groups before, Lin Xiao has a solid foundation in group representation theory, so it is relatively easy to learn now. As for the book, although it is all in English, he can fully understand it.

When the few people next to Lin Xiao saw Lin Xiao, they immediately read the book, and when they looked at it again, the book was actually in the full English version. After reading their respective sets of wrong questions or something that can be seen, they started their own learning.

The other passengers around looked at the six teenagers with a look of surprise. Didn't the plane start to fly, and they started reading books?
Someone with good intentions took the initiative to inquire, and learned that these six teenagers were going to represent the country to participate in the international mathematics competition. They were all in awe, and then sent their blessings one after another.

Youngsters are those who go out for the country and deserve their blessings. Although this "going out" is not a battle on the battlefield, as long as they go abroad to win honor for the motherland, it is worthy of encouragement.

Of course, besides Chinese nationals, there were also some Romanian nationals who took this flight. After they knew about it, they also gave the six teenagers a thumbs up. Great", "returned in triumph" and the like.

All in all, everyone was very enthusiastic. After feeling the encouragement from these strangers, Lin Xiao and the others felt even more fighting spirit in their hearts.

IMO, must win!

…………

……

The plane flew across the sky and arrived over the Black Sea from the ancient east.

Romania is located in southeastern Europe, near the Black Sea.

In Romania, the atmosphere of mathematics is relatively strong. Although no Romanian mathematician has won the Fields Medal, there are still many people who are interested in mathematics.

Moreover, even the International Mathematical Olympiad is closely related to Romania.

In 1956, the Romanian mathematician Professor Roman proposed the initiative, and held the first International Mathematical Olympiad in Romania in July 1959, when only six countries participated.

Today is the 59th session. The first IMO was held in Romania in 1959, so returning to Romania to hold it now is also a kind of commemorative significance.

It’s just different from the first time it was held. Today’s IMO has become a grand event for the international mathematics community. Countries all over the world send their best young people here to show their mathematical prowess. Among these young people, say There may be a future Fields Medal winner.

In addition, in addition to IMO, there is also a mathematics competition called Romanian Mathematics Masters. It is also a competition for high school students. It is more difficult than IMO. Every year, only interested countries are invited to participate. Weak country.

Needless to say about this competition, after all, Lin Xiao and the others are here to participate in the IMO.

In this way, after flying in the sky for eleven and a half hours, Lin Xiao and his plane finally arrived at the city where the IMO was held and the second largest city in Romania, Cluj-Napoca.
