When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 174: Academic exchange ends, reputation regains

When Wang Donglai returned to the hotel room to sleep.

The entire Princeton and even the entire academic lecture conference became extremely lively.

The proof of Zhou's conjecture and the announcement of the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers were undoubtedly caused by a huge stone falling into the water.

The calm water surface was broken, with splashes and ripples.

As more and more academic details leaked out, those who knew the news were even more shocked.

Changing the content of the academic report on the spot without authorization.

Half an hour proved Zhou's guess.

In fifteen minutes, I wrote the formula for the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers, and also wrote three Mersenne prime numbers to support it.

After the stories spread one after another, they added a legendary color to Wang Donglai.

"A nineteen-year-old genius from a mysterious country in the East proved a difficult problem that has troubled mathematicians around the world for decades in less than an hour!"

"God! The darling of mathematics was born in China!"

"Princeton, the ideal kingdom of mathematicians, met a legendary genius today."

"What can you do in forty-five minutes? Someone can win the crown jewel of mathematics in these forty-five minutes."

“The genius from the East gave the entire West a huge surprise when he first came to Princeton.”

On the Western Internet, there are media outlets that are not too concerned about the excitement and use all kinds of exaggerated words to describe Wang Donglai's achievements.

The academic circles of the Ivy League are filled with discussions about Wang Donglai.

Some people like it, and of course some people don't.

There are many reasons for not liking it, either because of my own narrow-mindedness, or because my research results were burned because of Wang Donglai.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, there are countless scholars around the world studying the Mersenne prime numbers.

Through computer calculation, we want to find new Mersenne prime numbers.

Or make new attempts based on current concepts and write them into a paper.

However, these all became meaningless as Wang Dong came to prove Zhou's guess.

As a result, the paper on Zhou's speculation naturally became a piece of waste paper.

And they consume the precious computing power of the computer, which becomes a useless effort and a waste of time and resources.

Just when these people were discussing Wang Donglai.

Little did they know that Wang Donglai was not what they thought at this moment, but fell asleep as soon as he returned to the hotel room.

The intensive research in the past few days greatly squeezed his sleep time and affected his sleep quality.

It’s just that I’m holding my breath because it’s not finished.

He still understands the principle of making great efforts, then failing again, and finally exhausting himself.

Therefore, after completing the proof in the academic lecture hall, a strong feeling of exhaustion swept over him. If it weren't for his enhanced physique and wisdom, he might have fallen asleep on the spot.

After eating and replenishing his energy, he returned to his room and turned off his phone before going to bed.

……

He sat up from the bed and stretched out a lot.

After taking a hot bath and changing into clean clothes, he felt that his whole body was full of energy.

This sleep swept away all the fatigue he had accumulated before.

After cleaning up, he turned on his phone.

When I looked at the time, I realized that I actually slept until noon the next day.

There are dozens of missed calls on the phone, from different contacts.

There are domestic and foreign ones.

After thinking for a moment, he first called Wang Yanxing to report his safety. After a brief chat, he hung up the phone.

Then, he called Xu Songyao.

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Songyao's delighted voice came from the other side.

"Good boy, how many skills do you still have that you haven't shown yet? You just proved one of Zhou's guesses right after you left the country. Are you going to prove several other guesses in a few days?"

Wang Donglai could hear the excitement in Xu Songyao's tone.

He was not surprised that the news spread so quickly.

When he was giving a speech on the podium, he also noticed that there were many scholars with Chinese faces sitting below.

After all, China's economy is booming, and studying abroad is a trend.

What's more, Hanhua and Yang Pengfei were also present and heard their own testimony.

As the vice-president of Tangdu Jiaotong University and close to him, it is not surprising to know this news.

"In this accident of proficiency, I actually didn't have any ideas. I just happened to have the inspiration, so I just had to prove it."

Naturally, Wang Donglai could not say that it was because he had received a system task.

So, I just beautified it a little bit.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.

"If your words get out, I'm afraid it will make many people jealous to death."

After a long time, Xu Songyao said such a sentence quietly.

"Principal, I'm just saying this to you. I definitely can't say it to anyone else."

Wang Donglai smiled and said to Xu Songyao on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, okay, you are a clever kid. Just remember to return to China when the time comes. Don't be blinded by the colorful flowers abroad." Xu Songyao warned.

"Don't worry, principal, I will definitely be back on time."

After chatting with Xu Songyao for a few more words, he hung up the phone. Wang Donglai did not call the rest of the calls one by one, but sent a good-faith text message to several of them.

soon.

Han Hua and Yang Wanpeng came to Wang Donglai's room.

As soon as they met, Yang Wanpeng looked at Wang Donglai with a rather strange look.

"Now, many people are saying that an academic dragon has appeared in the East and will sweep away all the major problems in mathematics. Do you know who this person is?"

Han Hua, on the other hand, asked with interest.

"The person Teacher Han is talking about could not be me!"

Wang Donglai's expression did not change because of the exaggerated content Han Hua said.

"It is indeed you. Nowadays, stories about you are being circulated outside. Some of them are getting more and more outrageous, and some are based on conspiracy theories. You should not read those comments online."

"Tonight's academic closing ceremony is over. Are you planning to visit other schools next?"

Han Hua asked with a hint of concern.

"Well, I have to go to the Clay Research Institute. One million U.S. dollars is worth it. Professor Qiu also made an appointment with me. I want to go there and have a look. The next steps will be roughly as follows."

Originally, Wang Donglai was not very interested in these trips, but a temporary mission was triggered by Deligne, which made Wang Donglai murmur in his heart.

Could it be that the way I opened it was wrong?
  Deligne can trigger tasks, so will Qiu Chengtong or other academic leaders have such tasks?
  He can be said to be extremely greedy for the rewards from the mission.

"Since you have a plan, I can rest assured. When the time comes, Lao Yang and I will stay here to exchange and study, and you should pay more attention to yourself. This place is no better than our country in China, where guns are not allowed, there are many silent people, and the quality is low. Be careful not to go out too late, don't go to places with few people, and don't go out with people you don't know very well. Even if you are a fellow Chinese, you should be more cautious."

"When a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, it may not necessarily bring tears to his eyes, and it is not impossible to shoot him in the back."

"One last note, ahem... the concept of human nature here is more open than ours. You are still young and can't control it. You must pay more attention to this and don't let yourself fall into this."

Han Hua coughed dryly and finished his words quickly.

Hearing Han Hua's words, Wang Donglai couldn't help but smile.

"I will keep Teacher Han's instructions in mind. Don't worry, Teacher Han!"

Wang Donglai did not feel that Han Hua was improper or verbose, but instead felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

"Well, your academic talent is very good, very good. If you continue to work hard, there will definitely be a mathematics award named after you in the mathematics world in the future, and your achievements will be unlimited. If your future is delayed for some other reasons, then It’s really such a pity.”

Hanhua did not hide his true thoughts and spoke out.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher Han. You will see it one day!"

Wang Donglai acted very seriously and his tone was firm.

……

in the afternoon.

The closing ceremony of the academic report started on time.

If it had been according to Princeton's previous arrangements, there would have been no closing ceremony at all.

But when Deligne used his fame to extend invitations to others, the situation naturally changed.

The level of the academic exchange report conference has reached a higher level, and the closing ceremony has become more grand.

Especially the academic report given by Wang Donglai yesterday, instantly made people who didn't want to attend the closing ceremony and party change their minds.

After all, Wang Donglai returned to the hotel room after proving Zhou's guess, without giving them a chance to say hello or talk, so they could only place their hopes on the closing ceremony and party.

After all, Wang Donglai is a scholar invited by Princeton, and he has just made such achievements, so it is impossible not to come to the closing ceremony.

Their guess was not wrong.

At the beginning of the closing ceremony, the first person to speak was the academic leader invited by Deligne.

James, vice president of the Bald Eagle Mathematical Society.

"Every year, many academic exchange conferences are held here, but I think this will be my most valuable conference experience this year, because I witnessed a legend and a genius!"

When James said this, the people below all smiled knowingly, and the atmosphere in the lecture hall became more enthusiastic.

Obviously, everyone knows that the genius James refers to is Wang Donglai.

Many people looked around, trying to find traces of Wang Donglai.

"Mathematics is a subject that seems boring to outsiders, but for us old guys who are immersed in it, it is not like that. It is full of charm and attraction."

"This profession, or all professions, require geniuses to promote its development, but ordinary people are the majority in this world. Compared with those geniuses, they are like two species, very different. "

"Since I have been involved in mathematics research, I have seen many geniuses and many ordinary people without talent. On the surface, there is a big gap between them, but in fact, their final results are the opposite. .”

"This is a great cause, and what is needed is the continuous efforts of all of us. Only in this way can we climb higher and higher on the peak of mathematics."

"..."

James on the podium spoke with a passionate emotion.

However, the people below slowly became indifferent.

bureaucracy!

Although what he said was indeed very reasonable, everyone knew and understood these words, which showed that James did not have much sincerity.

But soon, James came to the end.

"Okay, it seems that everyone is a little impatient, but this is my job, please understand."

"A total of more than 5,400 participants participated in this academic conference, including scholars and professors from various countries, and the results were remarkable..."

James made a final summary and walked down from the podium.

This concludes the closing ceremony.

And then it’s party time.

As for Wang Donglai, whom many people were looking forward to, he was chatting with Professor Deligne.

　There will be more in the evening...
