"Hello, Xun Wen." Bai Yu chuckled.
"Hello," Xun Wen said.
"Can I ask you a few questions on behalf of the audience?”Bai Yu said.
"Of course." Xun Wen smiled.
"When the news came from abroad that you proved Jebov's conjecture, were the teachers and students in your department shocked?”Bai Yu said.
" A little," Xun Wen said with a smile." Because no one would have thought that a freshman could solve such a major mathematical problem.”
" I think many of you know the significance of Jebov's conjecture," Bai Yu said." But I think everyone wants to know how you proved it?”
" Success is not a coincidence," Xun Wen said." I actually learned a lot of mathematics knowledge in high school. Later, I happened to see Jebov's conjecture by coincidence. At that time, I started studying and researching it.”
"Hard work pays off. After a long period of research, I finally proved it when I was in university.”
“……”
As time gradually passed, Bai Yu continued,"
"May I ask why you study mathematics? Do you think mathematics is important?”
"The reason why I study mathematics is very simple. It's because I like it. I enjoy the excitement of solving a difficult problem after thinking about it for a long time.”
"As for whether mathematics is important or not, there is no doubt about it.”
" Mathematics plays an irreplaceable role in the miracles of modern science and technology, from cell phones to televisions, from train schedules to medical scans, from the construction of skyscrapers to the design of wide-body jet airliners, from satellite navigation systems to the development of nuclear weapons.”
"It is no exaggeration to say that without mathematics, today's highly developed society would not be able to function at all.”
"Then can you tell the students who are interested in mathematics in front of the TV how to learn mathematics?”
"I personally have four suggestions."
"First, we should take things step by step. Whether it's mathematics learning or research, we should be realistic.”
" Second, think independently. Only through independent and serious thinking can one truly learn something.”
"Third, show off your skills in front of an expert. As the saying goes, if you show off your skills in front of an expert, you will find an expert in chess. We must dare to find an expert to compete with.”
" The fourth and most important point is perseverance. In learning mathematics and doing research, failure is common, and success is rare.”
"The things that scientists throw into the wastepaper basket are far more than what they officially publish. Therefore, in learning, one must be unafraid of difficulties and persevere.”
" Thank you for your suggestion," Bai Yu said with a smile." One last question. Do you have any new directions after this research?"”
" I plan to travel around the country to see the scenery and adjust my mindset," Xun Wen said with a smile." Then, I'll start my new research direction: Riemann's hypothesis.”
"Is it one of the seven major mathematical problems in that world?”Bai Yu's eyes widened.
" Yes," Xun Wen said." I noticed it when I was studying number theory. If I can prove or disprove it, it will be a huge breakthrough for number theory research.”
"Then are you confident?" Bai Yu said," Many famous mathematicians have studied Riemann's hypothesis, but they all failed.”
"How would we know if we don't try?" Xun Wen shrugged." Besides, I've already made some breakthroughs in my research.”
" I hope to hear your good news," Bai Yu said with a smile." If you really succeed, I think the whole world will know about a genius mathematician named Xun Wen.”
" Actually, I'm already a world-famous genius mathematician," Xun Wen said with a smile." But I don't mind using Riemann's hypothesis to crown myself.”
"I like your confidence." Bai Yu smiled.
“……”
After the interview, Bai Yu added Xun Wen's message and chatted with him for a while before leaving.
Xun Wen continued to work on the proof of Riemann's hypothesis.
Three days later, Xun Wen walked out of the library exhausted, but his face was full of excitement. After a few days of research, he had finally completed the proof of Riemann's hypothesis.
Buzz ~ The phone vibrated.
Xun Wen picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from the Dean of the Mathematics Department, Yang Jing. He quickly picked it up.
"Hello, is this Xun Wen?"
" Professor Yang, it's me," Xun Wen said." What's up?"”
"Come to my office. I have something to tell you.”
"Okay, I just came out of the library. I'll be there soon.”
Xun Wen hung up the phone and rode his bicycle straight to Professor Yang's office.
He knocked on the door and heard a voice saying," Please come in." Xun Wen gently pushed the door open and entered.
"Come, Xun Wen, sit." Professor Yang Jing stood up and said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Professor Yang." Xun Wen smiled and sat on the sofa.
"I called you here this time to talk about an interview with a certain channel.”Yang Jing hesitated for a moment and then said.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?”Xun Wen frowned in confusion.
" Some minor problems," Professor Yang Jing said." After your interview video was broadcast, some old professors thought that you were too frivolous and reported it to the higher-ups. That caused some obstacles for you to be evaluated as an 'outstanding scholar'.”
" But don't worry, the selection will definitely be successful. After all, we can't let the outstanding students of Shuimu suffer losses," Professor Yang Jing said." Besides, Professor Qiu is standing up for you. It's useless for anyone to be jealous."”
"But are you sure you want to study Riemann's hypothesis?”Professor Yang Jing was also worried." Why don't we change the direction of our research and take it step by step?”
Xun Wen knew that Professor Yang Jing also felt that he was taking too big a step forward. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he failed, which would affect his future research work.
In fact, even Professor Qiu and the others felt that they were too arrogant. If Xun Wen heard that a 20-year-old young man wanted to prove Riemann's hypothesis, he would also start to criticize him without hesitation.
However, compared to others, I have the system!
Xun Wen's biggest trump card was naturally not something he could tell outsiders. Therefore, he could only vaguely say," Professor Yang, don't worry. I've really made a lot of progress now. Of course, if I really can't prove it in the end, I'll give up in time and choose to cut my losses. I won't keep fighting."”
" Alright then," Professor Yang Jing said and took out a document from the drawer.
"Our school's committee has decided to give you one million yuan as a reward for proving Jebov's conjecture. Half of it will be used for living expenses, and the other half will be your next phase of research funding.”
"Thank you, school." Xun Wen chuckled. He didn't expect to receive such a pleasant surprise. Although one million wasn't much, it was still an honor.
Then, Xun Wen picked up the document and read it carefully.
"Sign at the end. After you sign, someone will transfer the money to your card in a week at most.”Yang Jing smiled.
After reading it, Xun Wen picked up the pen on the table and signed his name. Then, he chatted with Professor Yang Jing for a while and left happily.
(And a collection, thank you!)
