Huaxia, Huaqing University, Qiuzhai.

Yuan Zhengxin is in the office reviewing and approving the plan for the elite class. The old man reads very slowly and checks all the details carefully. He also considers whether the curriculum needs to be adjusted and whether the teaching staff needs to be maximized.

The old man is the same age as the Republic. You can imagine how difficult it was to come out of that poverty-stricken era, not to mention that Yuan's family was poor when he was young.

You can imagine how difficult it is for students from poor families to get ahead.

It can be said that it is only through extraordinary talent and hard work that far exceeds that of ordinary people that we have achieved our status today.

His childhood experience also created the old man Lu Wei's stubborn temper. He can't get rid of the sand in his eyes. His ideas are often incompatible with the young people in the new era who are more willing to show their individuality, and even make people feel old-fashioned. Therefore, there are often some rumors that make people feel uncomfortable. Criticized measures and regulations.

In fact, what the old man wants to do is to tell all the young people that building a country is not just about cynicism. Now the post-90s and post-00s are the hope of the Chinese mathematics community! Letting Chinese mathematics catch up with the world has been pinned on two generations. .

Young people cannot just watch as the country's mathematics is still lagging behind in the world. China is on the road to rising national power. If mathematics wants to follow the pace of the country's development, it must study hard like its predecessors. , only through hard work can the Chinese mathematics community have a say in the world!

In fact, if you consider that the old man is 76 years old, he still insists on being on the front line of mathematics education, which is enough to be admired. There are only a few people throughout the ages who can do this. After all, this really requires extraordinary enthusiasm and perseverance.

The old man was thinking about whether he needed feedback from last year to make some fine adjustments to the curriculum of this year's elite class. Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, and then a knock on the door. The old man took off his glasses and said loudly: "Please come in."

The office door was pushed open and Li Lixing walked into the old man's office.

After hanging up Ronald's video, Li Lixing originally wanted to call Mr. Yuan directly to inform him. But after thinking about it, he decided to come in person. For some things, expressing gratitude in person can show more sincerity.

"Professor Li is here, sit down and have some tea?" Yuan Zhengxin stood up when he saw it was Li Lixing, with a smile on his face.

Li Lixing hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Mr. Yuan, please sit down and don't worry about me. To be honest, I just came here to thank you. After thanking you, I have to go back and make plans for the next stage. I’ll discuss this with everyone during the group meeting tonight.”

"Thank me?" The old man was a little confused.

theorem!

Li Lixing immediately explained: "Of course I have to thank you. If you hadn't recommended Qiao Yu to join our large research group, we might still be troubled by that problem. In fact, today Qiao Yu successfully proved a problem that troubled our research group leader up to half a year

of."

Moreover, I just deduced Qiao Yu’s proof with Professor Ronald, and we agreed that Qiao Yu’s proof idea is completely correct. Professor Ronald also asked me to apologize to you. He thought that you recommended Qiao Yu. Joining our research group is selfish

Yuan Zhengxin looked at Li Lixing, thought for a moment, smiled, and said: "Actually, Ronald is right. I introduced Qiao Yu to your research group out of selfish motives. I wanted him to see the world with you. , Understand the methods of international collaborative research.

Although I expected him to make great achievements when he joined the research group, I never thought that he could achieve this level. Professor Li, you are not helping Qiao Yu to make some achievements to make me happy, right?"

Li Lixing twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yuan, you have really thought too much this time. To be honest, if I wanted to do this, I would not choose this time. In such a short time, I doubt he would even give me I haven’t read all the information yet.

And during this period, he had almost no communication with us on this issue. He did put forward some opinions during the group meeting, but most of them were methods we had tried before. Today is the first time I received an email from him in my mailbox. The email is the proof process of this proposition."

Yuan Zhengxin's expression became serious and he said, "Is it true that he independently solved the problems you encountered recently? If you have the original manuscript, let me take a look." Li Lixing had long expected that the old man would definitely make this request, and had been prepared for it.

He directly put the bag he was carrying on the old man's desk, took out a stack of manuscript paper with a piece of printing paper on it, and handed it to Yuan Zhengxin: "The printed copy is Qiao Yu's certification process. He only It provides an idea, very simple. These manuscripts were just completed by me and Professor Ronald."

"How about you sit down for a while first?"

"No, no, please watch first, I really have to go to work. In the afternoon, I also plan to let those incompetent students come to see Qiao Yu's proof. Hey, they are all students, so the gap is too big. "

Yuan Zhengxin, who has always advocated strict requirements for students, heard this sentence and said unusually from the student's perspective: "Haha, we can't be too harsh on the students. Children like Qiao Yu are in the minority after all. "Hey...I understand, but there is no way! After a genius appears in every era, how can other mathematicians keep up with the genius if they don't push themselves?" Li Lixing sighed.

The mathematician Peter Schulz became a W3 professor at the University of Bonn at the age of 24, and won the Fields Medal at the age of 30. How many Western mathematicians were envious of him? Now there is a person with such potential around him. Students, I kind of understand that feeling.

Li Lixing even suspected that Qiao Yu didn't need to be 24 years old. Maybe he could be directly given the title of full professor by Yanbei when he reached adulthood. No one could say anything strange.

An independently completed paper has been confirmed to be published in Ann.Math, and another paper has been submitted to Invent.Math. With the influence of the geometric Langlands conjecture and Qiao Yu's unconstrained imagination, Li Lixing feels that the paper has a high probability. It can definitely be published.

This paper of their research group will definitely be published in one of the top four journals within two years. Now it seems that Qiao Yu can be at least a third author. Next, he will give a thirty-minute report at the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry.

Not to mention other things, even if Qiao Yu does nothing in the next two years, no one can really say anything in Huaqing based on these achievements this year. The only thing that affects Qiao Yu now is his lack of age.

A sixteen-year-old university professor is so outrageous that he may even trigger controversy in the legal community.

For example, does this value talent or employ child labor? It seems difficult to define.

"Hey, so... what a genius!" Yuan Zhengxin also sighed with emotion.

However, what the old man was thinking about at this time was not Qiao Yu's talent, but Qiao Yu's hard work.

How many children in the elite class can sit there quietly and read books all afternoon like Qiao Yu? Can a handwritten manuscript fill several pages? As long as Qiao Yu comes to this office, he will never

That's true, without exception.

The noise outside didn't affect him at all.

Therefore, these professors are still a little short-sighted. They only think that Qiao Yu is a genius, but they do not delve into the sweat and hard work behind the genius!

In this world, except for the capital obtained through blood relationships, is there any glory that can be easily obtained?

When a group of students were complaining because they had to miss a day's rest, did they ever think that people with more abilities than them were still struggling silently? Li Lixing saw that the old man was feeling some feelings, so he left at the right time: "Mr. Yuan, I'll go first.

Busy."

"Okay, go ahead." The old man nodded slightly.

After watching Li Lixing turn around and leave, the old man put on his glasses again and began to review Qiao Yu's proof process and the process of complementing it with the two professors Li Lixing and Ronald. The process was exciting!

But the most eye-catching thing is Qiao Yu's six-line concise and exquisite argument.

It directly constructs an exquisite and rigorous logical framework, showing the profound relationship between the global function and the transformation group.

By defining the invariance of the Whitaker layer, the properties of the feature layer are clearly introduced, and its invariance is revealed through mapping. The principle of categorization shrinkage is used to prove the automorphic property of the mapping, and finally the global function and the benefit are

The automorphisms of Turk layers are connected, showing the harmony and unity between mathematical structures.

No wonder Li Lixing would emphatically praise Qiao Yu's talent, because the most valuable thing among them is the mathematical thought embodied in it, which is abstract and concise, like a sword, directly inserted into the core of the problem. The old man couldn't help but marvel. Look.

After finishing, the old man picked up the phone and took a look.

The little guy who likes to report everything, has made such good achievements, but he didn't ask him for credit? Ha... is this because he is afraid that he will be proud of himself by praising him again?

I deliberately asked a question on WeChat, but suddenly a thought came to my mind. Then I stood up from my seat and walked out of the office. "Arrange a car to take me to the International Mathematical Research Center opposite."

"Ah? Mr. Yuan, Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center?" "Are there others across the street?"

"Well... do you want to inform the other side first?" "No, I'll just go over and take a look."

The old man waved his hand and refused.

Tian Yanzhen can come to Huaqing, why can't he go to Yanbei?

Half an hour later, Mr. Yuan appeared at the door of Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center.

Walking into the door of the Numerical Research Center, Yuan Zhengxin hesitated for a moment.

Qiao Yu did say that he lived in a corner of a certain research center, but he didn't say the specific location.

Just when I was thinking about calling this guy to pick him up, he happened to be recognized. "Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Zhengxin glanced sideways and saw that he was dressed as a young professor. "Well, it's me. Who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Yuan, I am Xue Song, an associate professor at the Mathematics Research Center." Yes, the professor who recognized Yuan Zhengxin was Xue Song.

He was about to go out to do some errands, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Yuan Zhengxin standing at the door.

"Oh, hello, Professor Xue. I heard Qiao Yu mention you. Were you at Yujiang University before?" Yuan Zhengxin nodded and asked. "Yes, I was transferred here this year." Xue Song was a little uneasy. replied.

He didn't know how Qiao Yu introduced him to the old man in front of him.

If Qiao Yu happened to tell him the reason why he worshiped Tian Yanzhen as his disciple, Xue Song felt that the old man probably wouldn't take kindly to him. Of course, Xue Song felt that he couldn't be entirely blamed for this.

At that time, he only had Tian Yanzhen's contact information on his mobile phone, but not Yuan Zhengxin's. If he had both, he might have made the same choice as Qiao Yu, and sent two copies of the paper, and then see which boss Fortunately, the old man didn't look strange. He just smiled and said, "Yes, I heard from Qiao Yu that you gave him a lot of advice. Thank you for taking the trouble."

Xue Song quickly replied: "Actually, Qiao Yu doesn't need any advice. I just helped him plan his future. By the way, are you here to see Academician Tian this time? Shall I take you there?"

Yuan Zhengxin shook his head and replied: "No, I just came to see Qiao Yu. I heard the child said that he lives here, and I came to see how his environment is like. If Professor Xue is not busy, take me Just go and see Qiao Yu." "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, just come with me."

After saying that, Xue Song led the old man towards the building in the corner of the research center where Qiao Yu was.

"By the way, didn't you inform him before you came?" Xue Song asked the old man on the way there.

If he had been notified in advance and this guy didn't come out to greet him, that would be too much. He would have to severely criticize this guy later.

"No, I suddenly became interested. I haven't seen it since it was built." The old man replied while looking at the scenery around him. "Oh, I really don't know if he is here. Qiao Yu will choose to attend some courses recently."

"It's okay, let's go take a look first and talk about it later if you're not here."

"OK."

The yard was only that big. Although Xue Song deliberately slowed down his pace, he reached the building where Qiao Yu lived in just a few minutes. Through the window, he saw the young man in the house reading seriously, and Xue Song was relaxed. Take a breath.

It's better that this kid didn't go out.

Although the old man certainly said he didn't care, he would still be somewhat disappointed after finally coming here once and getting nothing. "It's right here." Xue Song paused and pointed to the hut.

Yuan Zhengxin nodded. In fact, he had just seen it. Although he was not in his office, he could see through the window that Qiao Yu was still so serious when he was reading. He did not go to class and chose to study without supervision. I can still be so self-disciplined when I read a book by myself.

Especially when you have just made achievements, you can still maintain this state of mind, not taking credit, not being proud, being calm and natural. You still maintain your thirst for knowledge and your ambition.

Even some professors at Huaqing cannot match this ambition.

He was complacent with just a few achievements, held a grand celebration party, and even invited him... How could the gap between people be so big?

..

Qiao Yu, who was reading with gusto in the room, probably never imagined that Master Shi outside the room would praise him a thousand times in his heart. He even disliked some people even more.

Really, he originally planned to go out today to celebrate having solved another problem, but Yu Wei suddenly popped up and showed off a wave of strength that a rich second generation should have, which made him stop thinking about relaxing. After all, people, It's better to have some relaxation.

But most of the time it's just such a coincidence.
