Because the first academic lecture in the morning started at 9:00, it was only about 8:20 at this time, and the Princeton auditorium was quite lively, with scholars and college students of different nationalities "hanging out" inside.

Yes, there are countless "booths" in the hall. Basically, each booth is about one or two square meters per person. Often a table, a chair, and a poster is a "booth".

These "booths" always remind Qin Ke of the time when he took Qin Xiaoke, who was still in elementary school, to Yuanzhou City to attend her favorite comic exhibition in junior high school.

The difference is that booths at comic expos are for selling goods to make money, while stall owners here set up booths mainly for academic exchanges, peer competition, building reputation, and sponsoring projects.

Qin Ke listened to the introduction of teacher Sun Liwen next to him and realized that these booths must be applied for in advance. Mathematics scholars who have not been able to enter the lecture hall to give academic reports often upload their academic results to arXiv and then conduct "

"Sell" to get colleagues to accept some of their new ideas, and it is best to provide sponsorship so that they can continue to carry out the project.

Mathematics can be said to be the most cost-effective scientific research project, but mathematicians also have to eat and support their families. They also have to buy a house and a car to support their wives, children and parents. Those mathematicians who are famous and have high status can be associate professors and professors in universities.

Fortunately, the income is quite good, but many mathematics enthusiasts can only work as teachers in middle schools or even elementary schools after graduation. There are also many who are unemployed after graduation, and some even refuse to work and just want to indulge in mathematical research.

At this time, it is necessary to solicit sponsorship, so that the elders who participate in the academic seminar feel that their topic is promising and can produce results, and then sponsor it. The final academic results will be shared by scholars and sponsors.

——Of course, it would be even better if there were wealthy people who could provide free funding.

So at this time, the stall owners of each stall showed off their talents, and the topic titles they typed out were more exaggerated and eye-catching.

Anyway, as far as Qin Ke could see, he dared to type out "Proving Method of Riemann Hypothesis", "Research on the Existence of Smooth Solutions of N-S Equation", "Successfully Breaking Hodge's Conjecture", "Proof of Goldbach's Hypothesis", etc.

But when you get closer, you will see that there is a small supplementary word under the big words of the title.

For example, in the front of "Proof of Goldbach's conjecture", there are three very small characters that read "My opinion" at the end.

Another example is the big title "Successfully cracked the Hodge conjecture" followed by a small "exploration of possible directions".

Qin Ke was very happy to see it.

Of course, there are only a few people who are shameless like this. Many stall owners who want to be famous and discuss and prove their opinions still write down the names of their projects very pragmatically, such as "Solving Linear Design Application Problems with the Geometric Meaning of the Objective Function", "Soliton"

Research on algebraic geometric solution methods of equations" etc.

Qin Ke asked Sun Liwen curiously: "Teacher Sun, how did these stall owners get in? It seems like they are all well prepared."

"You need to apply in advance. Basically, the subject you apply for must meet the standards and have certain academic achievements before you can enter and set up a stall here."

Qin Ke nodded and walked around the hall twice. He heard many stall owners telling the approaching scholars about their results. However, after Qin Ke listened for a while, he found that there was either no new ideas or mistakes and omissions that had real academic value.

You have to search carefully to find the stalls.

Looking at his watch, it was almost 9:00. Qin Ke looked up at the arrangements for the report meeting.

There is a fairly large electronic screen above the hall, which displays the number of academic lectures that day, the academic topics, and which conference room it is in.

Academic reports are divided into three levels: one-hour plenary report, 45-minute group report, and 30-minute ordinary report.

The one-hour plenary lecture is the most top-notch. Only one lecture will be arranged within this hour. It is the highlight of the academic lectures at Pudong University. Academic lectures are often given by famous mathematicians or young mathematicians who have attracted world attention.

, just like today's: 00 "Algebraic Geometry Methods and Riemann-Schottky Type Problems in the Theory of Integrable Systems" by Ingel, the famous master of algebraic geometry at Columbia University.

The forty-five-minute group report is a little behind, and two sessions will be held at the same time, allowing the audience to choose one. Qin Ke's report meeting is of this level.

Although the significance of proving the twin prime conjecture is not trivial, Qin Ke's reputation and status in the international mathematics community cannot be compared with those who have been famous for decades and have won many awards. It is quite remarkable to have an academic report of this level.

It is even more recognized by the mathematics community than publishing papers in top journals such as Annals of Mathematics.

The third level is a 30-minute ordinary report, held five times at the same time. This type is mainly for young scholars who have achieved excellent academic results. However, because there are too many times held at the same time, the audience will be greatly divided, and the influence will be natural.

Downgraded several levels.

What surprised Qin Ke was that when his eyes fell on the meeting schedule on the large electronic screen, the numbers of academic points in mathematics actually appeared on it!

In the first one-hour report meeting, the academic points value of mathematics reached 8 points!

For the remaining 45-minute lectures, the academic point value fluctuates between 5 and 7 points, while for the 30-minute lecture, the value fluctuates between 3 and 5 points.

In other words, Qin Ke can earn academic points as long as he listens carefully to the lecture.

Qin Ke looked at his system interface.

"Mathematics level: professional level, next level: master level, upgrade progress: 530.5/1000".

For more than a month, he has been studying the Polignac Hypothesis and the second and third processing methods in the "Full Analysis of the Riemann Hypothesis", which has added about 50 academic points, and he is here to listen to a one-day lecture.

, if you listen to the one with the highest academic point value every time, you can get 45 academic points!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If he spent all seven days listening to the report, he would have gained at least nearly 300 academic points!

Qin Ke was waiting to be promoted to the "master level" to conquer the Polignac conjecture. He immediately decided on his schedule for the next seven days without hesitation - from morning to afternoon, he would spend all time listening to academic lectures!

The system's evaluation of the points value given to the report sessions was quite accurate. After listening to a total of eight report sessions on the first day, Qin Ke felt that it was an eye-opener and he had learned a lot.

Especially the one-hour lecture, Professor Yingol, who has won the Fields Medal and is a master-level professor, had many views on algebraic geometry that were so inspiring and academically valuable that Qin Ke almost burst into laughter.

He took notes for everyone and planned to send a copy to Ning Qingyun in the evening. I believe Ning Qingyun, who is studying algebraic geometry, would also like to see these notes.

The report meeting on the first day came to an end at 4:30 in the afternoon, and then it was time for rest and dinner.

This is an excellent opportunity to make friends with big names in the international mathematics community. Although Chen Ming and the others were unable to enter the dinner, the itinerary for Qin Ke clearly stated that Qin Ke should attend the dinner with peace of mind.

Moreover, Vice President Gu Bojun of Qingmu University said that Academician Wang Xiaoyun, the only academician of the Academy of Sciences in mathematics at Qingmu University who is currently on a one-year academic exchange at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will also attend this society report and dinner.

, Qingmu University has already contacted us in advance, and Qin Ke must attend and get close to Academician Wang.

Since the arrangements were made above, Qin Ke naturally would not refuse. He returned to the hotel first and put on the birthday gift Ning Qingyun gave him - this was specially bought for Qin Ke by Ning Qingyun when he went shopping with his roommates last week.

There are two sets of dresses, one of which is a black casual dress, which is most suitable for such an academic dinner; the other is a relatively formal dress including a tie, which is worn when giving an academic report on the sixth day.

I have to say that Ning Qingyun is really a very careful and considerate girlfriend, and the clothes she chose are also very suitable for Qin Ke's figure and temperament.

Qin Ke took photos of today's notes and sent them to Ning Qingyun via WeChat. It was just after 5 o'clock in the evening, and it was still early morning in Xia Kingdom. Ning Qingyun would often get up around 6 o'clock in the morning to practice the Eastern Secret Code.

.

These days, she is the only one left to practice the Eastern Mysteries alone. Will she think of me while practicing?

Qin Ke looked at the avatar of "Little Green Bamboo Grows Tall", then clicked on the photo album in his mobile phone, found Ning Qingyun's photo and looked at it with nostalgia for a while, then closed his mobile phone and set off to attend the dinner.

The dinner starts on time at six o'clock in the evening.

Qin Ke walked slowly to the hall where the dinner was held. When he checked the admission ticket and walked in, melodious music was already playing inside. There were also many people dancing ballroom on the dance floor. Waiters holding champagne were shuttled among the crowd.

Rows of delicious food are displayed in a buffet style and can be taken freely.

Qin Ke began to look for Academician Wang in the banquet hall. He had seen the photo beforehand and knew that he was a master in cryptography theory. The "Cryptozoology" textbook currently used by undergraduate mathematics majors in China is Wang.

Written by an old academician.

At this time, a round-faced and slightly chubby man from Xia State approached him and said with a smile: "You must be Qin Ke's junior, right? My name is Jiang Yimin, I am a student of Academician Wang, and I am doing academic exchange research at MIT with him.

, please come this way, Academician Wang is waiting for you."

Qin Ke exchanged greetings with him and followed him to see the old academician Wang Xiaoyun.

Academician Wang Xiaoyun is nearly seventy years old, but he is in good spirits. I heard that he practiced Bajiquan when he was young, and his attainments are quite good. At this time, he has a straight waist and a wind-like walk. If his hair and eyebrows were not gray, he would not look like that.

He looks like an old man who is almost seventy years old.

Wang Xiaoyun was obviously very interested in Qin Ke, a talented student from Qingmu. After chatting with him for a long time, he said with a smile: "Qin Ke, you have made a great contribution to the field of prime numbers. For me to study like this

For an old man who has spent his whole life in cryptography, prime numbers are of great importance. If cryptography wants to develop, it is inseparable from the study of prime numbers. If you have time, you can also prove Zhou's conjecture. Mersenne prime numbers have a significant role in improving the algebraic theory of RSA.

A very important role.”

Qin Ke was a little dumbfounded. This old man thinks too highly of me. He thinks that these conjectures are just cabbage on the market and I can handle them as long as I want?

Zhou's conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers. It is also a world-class problem in number theory, especially in the subfield of prime numbers. It has been 20 years since its introduction. Even though Mr. Zhou, the proposer of this conjecture, has not yet had a mathematical

Experts can prove it, and even if it is slightly less difficult than the twin prime conjecture, there will never be a big gap.

Academician Wang said to his student Jiang Yimin: "Yimin, don't act like a senior. In the future, you should get closer to Qin Ke and help each other."

Jiang Yimin quickly said yes.

Academician Wang was also a heavyweight at the dinner. People came over to talk from time to time. Academician Wang introduced a few people to Qin Ke, and then he had a great chat with a French mathematician. He turned to Jiang Yimin and said:

"Yimin, take Qin Ke to have something to eat, and introduce him to anyone you know."

Jiang Yimin responded, warmly greeted Qin Ke to eat everywhere, and explained to him various banquet techniques. Suddenly someone came over and asked: "Are you Qin Ke from Xia Kingdom?"

Qin Ke turned around unexpectedly. He was a strange old foreign man in his fifties, with thin eyes and thick eyebrows, and he looked a bit majestic.

"I am Qin Ke from Xia Kingdom. Sir, you are..."

The old man suddenly smiled and reached out his hand and said: "Miracle boy, I finally meet you. I am Hank Andrew. I am currently teaching at Princeton, mainly responsible for courses in algebraic geometry."

"It turns out to be Professor Andrew..." Qin Ke was still a little surprised. How could a professor from Pudong University know him and come to get to know him?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Yimin said "ah" and whispered: "This Professor Andrew is the editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics"!"

Andrew smiled and said: "Yes, I am currently working in the Annals of Mathematics. Qin, I have personally reviewed both of your papers. I have long wanted to meet you."

The appearance of Editor-in-Chief Andrew seemed to be a signal, and many people officially began to pay attention to this young man from Xia who had a good chat with Andrew. Rofshan Oliver, the editor-in-chief of "Journal of Mathematics", "New Advances in Mathematics" and "American Journal of Mathematics"

The editor-in-chief of "Journal of the Mathematical Society" and the chairman of IMO, Jeff Rowland, and other celebrities in the mathematics community came to talk to Qin Ke one after another and congratulated him on his academic achievements.

There were also several mathematics professors who had met Qin Ke at the IMO awards ceremony, such as Giancarlo Luce of the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University and Professor Potoba Willer of the University of Cambridge, who also heard about it.

Suddenly, Qin Ke was surrounded by everyone and became the focus of the dinner.

Soon, word spread at the dinner that the miracle boy from Xia who proved the twin prime number conjecture was here!

Jiang Yimin smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose. Academician Wang also asked me to help introduce Qin Ke to the acquaintances at the dinner. Now it seems that this is not necessary at all. This guy knows several times more big names than I do. Introduction

What a hair!

…

It was after nine o'clock in the evening when Qin Ke returned to the hotel after the dinner. He took a shower, lay down on the bed, and took out his mobile phone. He found that Ning Qingyun had replied to his message, saying that he would read it carefully, and then asked Qin Ke for the next sentence.

Suddenly he jumped out of bed.

"Qin Xiaoke, I...I seem to have found an idea to prove Zhou's conjecture."
Chapter completed!
