Chapter 16 Genius 3

” Now, on behalf of the Education Commission, I will send a check of 50,000 renminbi to us In the hands of a young genius.” Li Mo took the check and held it above his head, with flashing lights all around.

“Today is a commendation meeting. Next, Li Mo will give a speech.” Jiao Principal said and handed the microphone to Li Mo.

Li Mo, who has been in a daze all the time, wakes up and wants to give an acceptance speech? He was not ready.

“If you want to become a well-known scientist, you must keep your true heart and be yourself in the midst of worldly fame and fortune.” The gray fog echoed in his ears.

Li Mo took over the microphone, and the audience was silent.

“Hello everyone, I’m Li Mo, a high school student. I was fortunate enough to prove the Koalas conjecture during my studies. That’s all I want to say. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and the school. Leader, thank Teacher Wang, and most of all is myself. Thank you everyone.” Li Mo put down the microphone and took a deep breath.

There was warm applause and laughter from the rostrum.

“Wait a minute, please accept an interview with “Mathematics Monthly”. After the interview, there will be an interview with the city TV station newspaper.” Principal Jiao Xuefeng took the initiative to explain.

Li Mo looked at the check on the podium, nodded.

Li Mo stepped into the small Conference Hall and saw that the reporter in cycling clothes was drinking a cup of instant coffee, “I’m used to it, I’m used to it” The reporter was a little embarrassed.

“Hello, let me introduce you formally. I’m a reporter from “Mathematics Monthly”, Wei Xiaonian. This is my press card.” Li Mo waved his hand before he could take it out.

“Then we will officially start the interview now.” Wei Xiaonian is still very professional,

“Excuse me, you are only a high school student now, are you only 17 years old?”

“Yes, I am a student in the second and third classes of senior high school, and my age is 17 years, 3 months and 2 days to be exact.” Li Mo is very sensitive to numbers now.

“Is there anyone in your family who is engaged in mathematics? Or maybe you have been good at mathematics since you were a child.” Wei Xiaonian wrote in the notebook while asking questions.

“My father is a worker, and my mother is a laid-off female worker. To be precise, my math scores were not good before the first year of high school.” Li Mo took the initiative to continue without waiting for the reporter in front of him to speak.

“During the summer vacation of my freshman year of high school, I stumbled across a book of world math problems at home. I thought it was very interesting, so I tried to solve the above problems.”

“ So it’s solved?” Wei Xiaonian asked with wide eyes in surprise.

“Of course not. Because of my poor math foundation, I read through the previous math textbooks and then proved it with great difficulty.” Li Mo answered truthfully.

“The world of genius is difficult to understand” Wei Xiaonian was speechless, the high school student in front of him is really a genius, but mathematics is a subject that pays attention to inspiration.

Mathematics Master Euler finished reading “Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy” at the age of 9 and entered university at the age of 13. At the age of 19, he invented the symbol π of Pi, the symbol of function f(x), and trigonometry Symbols sin, cos, tg.

Another example is the Indian genius Ramanujan, who completely taught himself advanced mathematics and was accustomed to intuition to derive mathematical formulas. He entered Cambridge University in 1914 and studied mathematics together with mathematician Hardy. Fruitful results over the years. In 1918, he was elected as a member of the British Imperial Family Society for his outstanding contributions to stacking number theory, especially integer division. He died in 1920 at the age of 33.

There is also mathematics Prince – Gauss, who discovered the prime number distribution theorem and the least squares method at the age of 18.

Looking at the young math genius in front of him, Wei Xiaonian remembered that he graduated from the mathematics department, but now he can only read “fantasy novels” in the magazine.

Wei Xiaonian left after the interview, and he was in a hurry to return to the magazine social draft.

The Conference Hall was filled with local journalists interested in the “genius” who solved the world’s problems.

“Excuse me, do you have a girlfriend?” an acted coquettishly female reporter asked with interest.

“Sorry, I won’t answer questions about personal privacy.” Li Mo said with a stern face, although he has not been interviewed by reporters. But he knew that reporters were good at misleading readers.

If he answered that he had a girlfriend, the reporter would write: “Shocked, the middle school students are so mature now.”

If he answered that he had no girlfriend, the reporter might write: ” Shocked, the juvenile genius has an abnormal sexual orientation.”

At this time, Principal Jiao saw Li Mo’s embarrassment and came forward and said to the reporters who were talking at once: “Friends from the reporters, please follow the order. Ask questions, and the questions should not involve personal privacy.”

This rescued Li Mo, even so, he had to repeat his “problem-solving process” countless times. He even held the big cheque over his head again and again and accepted the photo.

One of the female reporters from the TV station asked Li Mo a question, “What do you want to do now.”

Li Mo’s answer without the slightest hesitation: “I want to go back to study.” , he pushed open the door of the Conference Hall and walked out.

“Maybe this is genius.” A female reporter with bright red lips and stylish clothes said, looking at Li Mo’s receding back.

“It’s not easy for all reporters to come to our Meng City High School once. As the host, I prepare a little meal. I hope all the reporters will appreciate it.” Principal Jiao said after seeing Li Mo go straight away.

“I’m so tired, so tired, I really want to study and take a break now.” Li Mo felt so tired, he had lifted the check board no less than five times.

“Do you have to face such a scene in the future? No, absolutely no.” He said secretly in the heart.

As soon as Li Mo arrived at the door of the classroom, he heard a burst of warm applause from the classroom.

“The Great God is back, all stand up and pay homage to the Great God.” The class leader who loved to boo, shouted, the whole class actually stood up, and the physics teacher on the podium also smiled, letting them make fun of it.

“pa pa pa welcomes the great god.”

“pa pa pa welcomes the great god.”

Li Mo felt embarrassed and could only walk up to the podium to face The applauding classmates said: “You don’t have to be so enthusiastic, in fact, I’m just an ordinary high school student.” After speaking, he quickly returned to his seat.

“Okay, okay. You’ve seen it, the real genius is so humble, and now the class starts.” The physical teacher next to the podium had to stand up to maintain order.

“You’re famous, Brother Mo! didn’t expect you to be so good, you have time to teach me. I usually don’t think your grades are so good, why did you suddenly release a big satellite. “Tong Xin said with a thumbs up.

“didn’t expect, I actually became the same table with the genius, sign me.” He handed the pen and paper.

“I can’t go back to the past.” Li Mo looked at the scene in front of him and thought, he had already recited what the teacher said on the podium, so he should continue with the textbook he borrowed.

PS: I recommend this new book, “I Carry Alien Civilizations With You”.
