Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 287 Old Acquaintance
Chen Zhou arrived at the hotel, washed up simply, and lay down on the bed ready to sleep.
According to yesterday, he would have stayed up all night and fallen asleep by now.
But when he lay in bed, he found that he couldn't fall asleep.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhou stood up again and took out the collection of wrong questions from his backpack.
Since I can't sleep, I might as well continue studying Cramer's conjecture.
Just think of it as adjusting to jet lag.
The academic conference held at MIT this time is actually not of a very high level.
The main target is young mathematicians, giving them the opportunity to show themselves.
However, the development of this meeting was a little beyond people's imagination.
The number of big names in mathematics is increasing every day.
Especially today, many big names in mathematics have emerged.
The research areas of these bigwigs are mainly concentrated in the most difficult field of mathematics, namely number theory.
This surprised .
It's obvious that something big is about to happen!
Then I thought about the news that had spread and the disappearance of Faltings and others.
An answer is about to emerge.
However, they couldn’t figure out what kind of achievements this young mathematician had made to alarm so many bigwigs?
Some of them have only been heard of but never seen. They have stayed in the depths of universities for many years and devoted themselves to research, but now they have all come out.
In contrast, MIT seemed ecstatic.
After all, with the gathering of bigwigs from all sides, the level of this mathematics academic conference has also risen.
This is the most pleasant situation for .
If, what they are thinking is still just if.
Even though Chen Zhou's paper has been recognized by Faltings and others, it will still take time for the mathematical community to fully accept the distribution deconstruction method proposed by Chen Zhou.
But that doesn't prevent one thing.
That is, if Chen Zhou's report can create a sensational effect, if the distribution deconstruction method can really become the third number theory research method alongside the sieve method and the circle method.
Then this meeting will surely go down in history!
Dean Sun and others walked out of the lecture hall and walked on the MIT campus.
"Is Chen Zhou asleep?" Dean Sun asked Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu.
"That's what he said." Liu Maosheng replied, "Maybe he didn't get enough rest on the plane."
Dean Sun nodded, then chuckled and said, "He can stand loneliness. I thought he would come directly to MIT."
Hearing this, Xu Chenyang also said: "Indeed, there are rumors about him everywhere in MIT now."
Zheng Chengyu, who was standing next to Xu Chenyang, said with some emotion: "Yes, who would have thought that an undergraduate student from Yanda University could actually break through two world-class mathematical conjectures in succession?"
Dean Sun looked at the few people and took a special look at Zou Minwang who remained silent.
He felt a little regretful that perhaps Zou Minwang should be replaced.
At least , at such a moment, he was still thinking about things in the country.
Retracting his gaze, Dean Sun continued, "Maybe it's not as simple as breaking through a mathematical conjecture."
Hearing this, Xu Chenyang's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Dean, do you know the content of that paper?"
Dean Sun shook his head: "He sent it directly to the conference submission mailbox. I haven't read the paper. But judging from the performance of Faltings and others, it's probably not simple."
He didn't know which website Chen Zhou's preprint was posted on, so until now, several people at Yanda have not seen the paper.
At this time, Zou Minwang said, "Didn't he say that this was just a temporary achievement? Since the Cramer conjecture has not been proven yet, I think he might as well come earlier and prepare a report on the hail conjecture."
"Maybe." Dean Sun did not comment.
When Zou Minwang wanted to say something else, the other person who went to pick up Chen Zhou, the slightly fat Zeng Zigu, suddenly said, "The paper has been posted on MIT's official website!"
This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even passers-by turned their heads to look at this Chinese man with a round face.
"Let's go back to the hotel first!" Dean Sun waved his hand, and everyone quickened their pace and took the car back to the hotel.
Once they arrived at the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms.
At this point, what could be more important than downloading the paper from the official website and studying it carefully?
After the paper was released, not only President Sun and his colleagues were studying it carefully.
Almost everyone attending the conference was downloading the paper.
There are also those who have already seen the preprints on the e-Print arXiv and are keeping a close eye on the MIT website.
For a time, the large number of visits almost caused MIT's official website to crash.
Fortunately, the world's top computer experts gathered here, and they stabilized the situation with a few operations.
At first, they thought they had been hacked.
Just when they were wondering why these hackers had nothing better to do than to hack into the university website, they found out why the website almost collapsed.
Looking at the IP addresses around the world, they were a little amused.
Unexpectedly, one day, MIT's official website would face collapse due to too many visitors...
Because of this incident, MIT upgraded its server.
Chen Zhou, who had no idea that his paper had produced a huge impact, finally fell into a deep sleep.
His activity time has exceeded 24 hours.
This sleep was also exceptionally sweet.
The next morning, Chen Zhou stretched lazily with contentment.
He thought it might be a good way to adjust to jet lag.
He is in excellent mental state now.
Having already missed two days of the academic conference, Chen Zhou obviously could not miss the third day.
Generally speaking, the reports held in the first two days are the most valuable.
But he didn't make it in time, there was nothing that could be done about it.
After having breakfast in the hotel, Chen Zhou went to find Dean Sun and others.
But to Chen Zhou's surprise, Senior Brother Xu Chenyang did not show up.
After asking, I found out that Xu Chenyang was not planning to attend the lecture today. He wanted to study Chen Zhou's paper.
Um... okay...
Chen Zhou was a little amused. The author of the paper was right in front of him, so why was he still studying the paper?
But everyone has their own research habits. Xu Chenyang’s habit may be to understand the paper first.
After going out, it didn't take long to arrive at the venue of the meeting.
MIT auditorium.
Outside the auditorium, there were quite a few people setting up stalls.
However, this street stall displays posters and sells knowledge.
This is the stage to show yourself.
Although I cannot give my report in the auditorium, as long as I have a stage in my heart, the street stall is my world.
Of course, being able to apply for a booth to post your academic poster also requires strict review.
Compared with domestic and international academic conferences, the requirements for posting posters are more stringent.
After entering with Dean Sun and others, Dean Sun and others left.
Only Chen Zhou was left wandering around.
After all, for President Sun and others, the main purpose of attending this academic conference is to make friends with experts in various fields, which is more important.
Chen Zhou didn't care about these. Everything in front of him was new to him.
Even some of the results on the posters may not be that interesting.
But his purpose is to see more and understand more.
However, not long after walking, Chen Zhou saw a familiar figure.
