Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 286 He’s coming!
At the same time, it was less than four o'clock in the morning, Yanjing time.
It was less than four o'clock in the afternoon, Boston time.
Logan International Airport, South China Airlines flight from Yanjing to Boston, landed safely.
Chen Zhou couldn't help but sneeze twice before he even got off the plane.
So much so that the flight attendant even asked him in a friendly manner if he needed a tissue.
Walking up the plane's gangway, the first thing you see is the landmark building, the central control tower.
I have to say, this thing is really majestic.
But building landmarks at the airport is to tell people coming to the United States that this is the United States?
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Zhou retracted his gaze and walked down the gangway.
Not long after, the shuttle bus arrived.
Chen Zhou boarded the shuttle bus.
After completing the relevant formalities, Chen Zhou finally left the airport.
The difference between this time when Dean Sun and his team came was that this time Chen Zhou was picked up by someone.
Still two groups of people.
The first thing Chen Zhou saw were two foreign guys holding a "ZHOU CHEN" sign.
At first, Chen Zhou didn't dare to recognize it.
Who knows who this call is?
And I haven’t heard that MIT has arranged someone to pick me up?
What's more, a rookie like me wouldn't need MIT to arrange someone to pick me up, right?
So Chen Zhou searched again until he saw two unfamiliar Chinese faces.
Even though people don’t recognize him, the Chinese characters “Chen Zhou” on the sign are obviously much more familiar.
Chen Zhou walked towards the two people holding the signs and greeted them politely: "Hello, who are you?"
The two looked at Chen Zhou and instantly matched the person in front of them with the photos they had seen.
One of the boys, who was wearing glasses, adjusted his glasses and said, "Student Chen Zhou, we are here to pick you up."
Chen Zhou nodded and thought, "I know it even if you don't tell me. It's such a big brand..."
Another slightly fat boy said, "Dean Sun asked us to come. We are students from Yanda University and are currently studying abroad at Harvard."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou looked at the time. It was meeting time now. It was probably that President Sun and others were attending a lecture at MIT.
"Thank you for your help." Chen Zhou said sincerely.
"No trouble. Let's go?" said the boy with glasses.
"Okay." Chen Zhou followed the two and walked towards the airport parking lot.
During the chat, Chen Zhou also learned the names of these two people.
The one wearing glasses is Liu Maosheng, and the fatter one is Zeng Zigu .
The two were students of the Department of Mathematics at Yanjing University in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and are currently studying at the Department of Mathematics at Harvard.
He can be considered a top student.
But during the conversation, Chen Zhou clearly discovered that these two people seemed to be quite respectful to him?
After getting in the car, Zeng Zigu asked, "Chen Zhou, you've been on the plane for such a long time, do you want to go back to the hotel and rest first?"
Chen Zhou thought about it and nodded, not rejecting the kindness.
Moreover, the 13-hour flight did make him feel very tired.
The main thing is that along the way, he was actually immersed in the study of Cramer's conjecture without realizing it.
I am totally obsessed with this...
The car started, Liu Maosheng took charge of driving, and soon drove away from Logan International Airport.
Chen Zhou sat in the back row, looking out the window.
He was wondering why the system task had not yet indicated that it was completed?
Is it because the manuscript was not submitted to a formal journal?
Or do we need to wait until the report meeting is over?
Chen Zhou originally thought that after uploading the preprint to e-Print arXiv, the system would sound a message indicating that the task was completed.
Plus, this is a continuous task, so it won’t be long before he can completely solve the Kramer conjecture.
In this way, you will have two consecutive valuable experiences to gain.
But in the end, this system seemed to have lost its voice and has never reappeared until now.
Chen Zhou collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. What is coming will come, and what is his will not be less than a penny.
Instead of worrying about experience, it is better to strike while the iron is hot and solve Cramer's conjecture.
At this time, Chen Zhou noticed Zeng Zigu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, wanted to look back but was too embarrassed to do so.
He couldn't help but laugh, and asked, "Senior, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Zeng Zigu blushed, coughed lightly, and tried to hide his embarrassment before asking, "Well, we've always been curious about what you're researching?"
Liu Maosheng also said: "Yes, there are also many speculations at MIT, saying that you are studying a number theory conjecture. But when we asked Dean Sun and others, they didn't tell us."
Chen Zhou glanced at the two of them. He didn't expect that President Sun did such a good job of keeping the secret.
However, now that the paper has been submitted to this academic conference, there is no need to keep it secret any longer.
So Chen Zhou did not hide it from the two seniors and said directly: "It is true that I was delayed in coming here because of studying a number theory conjecture."
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were obviously stunned when they heard Chen Zhou's words. Then they asked in unison: "What is the guess? Is there any result?"
Chen Zhou shook his head: "It's Cramer's conjecture. It hasn't been fully proven yet. There's only a preliminary result."
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu looked at each other and couldn't help thinking, this is not right ?
If there was only a simple preliminary result, why did all the big guys at MIT disappear?
Could it be that the rumor is wrong?
They didn't think it through.
Chen Zhou, who had no idea what the two were thinking, continued, "But we are not far from the final proof. If this was not my first time attending an international academic conference, I would have stayed at Yanda and solved the problem first."
"Now we can only send the papers on our interim results to MIT first."
After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu instantly resolved their doubts, but their faces were filled with shock.
Sure enough, it was still because of this junior fellow student.
But just based on this interim result, a group of bigwigs disappeared. It's really awesome!
Zeng Zigu turned his head and looked at Chen Zhou, and asked, "Chen Zhou, what kind of interim achievement is this? You don't know that at this morning's report meeting, none of the big names in mathematics, such as Professor Faltings and Professor Deligne, showed up!"
Chen Zhou looked at Zeng Zigu in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Hey," Liu Maosheng rushed to explain, "According to the news that has spread, Professor Faltings and his colleagues have gone to review a paper, and the author of this paper is you!"
"Oh, I see." Chen Zhou responded indifferently.
Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu, who thought Chen Zhou should be at least a little surprised, were surprised to see Chen Zhou's indifferent look.
The two were even more surprised.
Zeng Zigu couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you surprised at all?"
Chen Zhou replied: "It's OK. I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect so many people would review it."
Zeng Zigu turned around and stared at Chen Zhou for a few seconds. You call this a little surprised?
Liu Maosheng was also speechless.
Well, this is the guy who can solve world-class math problems. He is indeed different from us...
But then, the two thought of more.
What do you mean you didn't expect so many people would review the manuscript?
In other words, Chen Zhou clearly knows the value of this paper?
this……
Chen Zhou did guess that MIT would invite a mathematics giant like Faltings to review his paper.
Because he believes that no one can resist the charm of distributed deconstruction!
After Chen Zhou arrived at the hotel room, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu drove away.
They also had to rush to MIT, where Dean Sun and others were waiting for them.
The two foreign guys who did not meet Chen Zhou also left Logan International Airport after confirming the flight information.
They guessed that Chen Zhou took a taxi and left first.
After the two returned to MIT, they had no time to report that they had not received any news from anyone.
I was assigned to do other things.
But their doubts were soon resolved.
The news that Chen Zhou was picked up by Yan University students has already reached MIT.
Dr. James was the first to inform Faltings and others who were following Chen Zhou's itinerary of the news.
He is here!
