Faltings interrupted Professor Wiles rudely: "Say, old man, aren't you going too far by openly poaching people in our Princeton University territory?"

He looked at Qin Ke, and a smile appeared on his face that had always maintained a Germanic coldness and seriousness: "Young man, if you are willing to come to Princeton University to study for a doctorate, I will be happy to write you a letter of recommendation. Pierre Deligne

I mentioned you just now and am very interested in you. He is an authority in algebraic geometry and has done extensive research in number theory. If you want to continue developing in the direction of number theory in the future, he will be a very suitable mentor."

Pierre Deligne, the prover of Weil's conjecture, the "Emperor of Algebraic Geometry" Grothendieck's student, the Grand Slam of Fields Medal, Crafford Medal, Wolf Medal, and Abel Prize

The winner is a mathematician who is not inferior to Faltings in terms of qualifications and level in the international mathematics community. It is the dream of many people to become Deligne's student.

For Qin Ke, with the system in hand, all theoretical knowledge is not a problem. There is no need to study abroad and work under such a big boss. However, Qin Ke felt the kindness of the two people and said sincerely: "Thank you both very much."

The professor appreciates me, but I have never thought about studying abroad. I am still a freshman, and I want to continue to study for two years as an undergraduate at Qingmu University."

"Undergraduate degree? My God, your current mathematics level is more than enough to study for a Ph.D., why should you study for an undergraduate degree?" Professor Wiles frowned: "I really can't understand your decision. In my opinion, this is a complete waste of time.

."

The old gentleman was highly respected, and Westerners were not used to talking in roundabout ways like the Xia people, so he spoke very directly.

Qin Ke felt that he meant well, and smiled and said: "My undergraduate major is physics. Although I may go further into mathematics now, I will eventually return to the direction of physics."

"Physics? Are you going to study physics with such an excellent mathematical talent? Well, physics is inseparable from mathematics. Mathematicians can often achieve excellent results in physics, but physicists may not be able to make achievements in mathematics. Oh,

Edward Witten is an exception."

Wiles shrugged and said: "That guy has been working on string theory in physics for decades and failed to win the Nobel Prize, but he won the Fields Medal... I suggest you not to follow his detours and develop in the direction of mathematics.

, you will be closer to the Fields Medal..."

Wiles will soon be seventy years old, and his thinking is still very clear, but like most old people, he likes to chatter.

"Thank you, Professor Wiles, but studying physics is also my interest and ambition. Rather than polishing tools, I prefer to use tools to create new things."

"Hey, KK, now that you have decided, I won't nag you, but my invitation is still valid. When do you want to study for a PhD at Cambridge University, just send me an email. My email is..."

Qin Ke quickly took out his mobile phone and asked Shimmer to record Professor Wiles' email address.

"Young man, do you really plan to study for two more years as an undergraduate?" Professor Linden Strauss next to him asked. He walked closer for a while and naturally heard the conversation between the three of them.

"Yes, my tutor said that I should be exposed to as many subjects as possible during my two years as an undergraduate and expand the breadth of knowledge. This will be beneficial to my future development in physics. After this semester of practice, I

I think this is indeed the case. After I come into contact with knowledge in literature, art, biology, chemistry and other subjects, I always come up with some creative ideas from time to time."

Faltings, who was next to him, cast a complimentary look: "You are right. It is necessary to expand your knowledge when you are young. I am very curious who your mentor is. Can you come up with such a theory?

Instead of guiding you in a professional direction from the beginning, I believe you will be a very knowledgeable and capable professor."

"My tutor is Academician Jiang Weixian from Xia Guo Qingmu University, majoring in physics."

"Jiang Weixian? Is he one of the most representative physicists in the Xia Kingdom today? He has profound knowledge in physical materials science and fluid mechanics." Another unfamiliar voice joined the conversation.

Qin Ke turned to look at the old professor with a big face and glasses who came to him. Before he could ask, Academician Wang Xiaoyun next to him introduced him: "This is the Edward Witten you just mentioned.

."

Qin Ke was moved.

Another big man who won the Philippine Prize! And he is also a big man who is very good in physics and mathematics!

Qin Ke has heard of his name a long time ago. He is the top authority on string theory. Unfortunately, the current detection technology is limited. The string theory in one-dimensional space cannot be confirmed or determined whether it really exists. As a result, Edward Witten has not been able to meet him.

Nobel Prize in Physics, but despite this, when it comes to the best physicists in the world today, no one can ignore this big man who is currently teaching at Princeton.

It is not surprising that such a big shot has heard of Academician Jiang Weixian, who is also a big shot in the physics world.

"It turns out to be Professor Witten, whose name I have admired for a long time." Qin Ke stretched out his hand and shook the hand extended by Professor Witten.

Professor Witten was a kind man. He smiled warmly and said: "Miracle boy of Xia Kingdom, I have also admired your name for a long time. In the past two days, you have been talked about everywhere in the school. Today's report is very exciting. In addition,

, I have also met your mentor, Academician Jiang, and he is indeed a very good physicist. It seems that I can’t persuade you to study string theory with me."

For a time, Qin Ke was surrounded by big guys, and other lower-ranking professors and scholars did not dare to approach easily, let alone those foreign ladies.

Qin Ke had a great time chatting with a few big guys. The big guys mentioned the top academic trends in the world from time to time, which opened Qin Ke's eyes.

However, the bosses were all very busy. After chatting with Qin Ke for more than ten minutes, they dispersed.

Before leaving, Faltings turned back and said: "By the way, young man, when will your report today be compiled into a paper and submitted to our "Annals of Mathematics"? I believe many people are looking forward to your fourth-order lime number theory.

Transformation method'."

"I will as soon as possible."

"Okay, the review time may be longer this time. After all, the content of your report today is too important. It requires at least five experts to review it before it can be passed. I will also read it carefully again."

Faltings said without giving up and asked: "You really don't think about coming to Princeton to study for a Ph.D.? After finishing your Ph.D., you can teach at Princeton. The working environment and salary here will be far better than what you will get in Xia Guo."

room for development.”

Princeton University is one of the richest universities in the United States and pays very generous salaries to professors. This is why it uses its money-making ability to continuously poach well-known professors and scholars from prestigious universities around the world.

The arrival of these well-known professors and scholars has further consolidated and enhanced the status of Princeton University in the world's academic world, and cultivated more outstanding alumni to give back to the school, thus forming a virtuous cycle. It can be said that this is also the reason for Princeton University's enduring popularity.

.

Qin Ke shook his head, looked out the window, and said softly but firmly: "My roots are in the motherland, and the person I love most is also in the motherland. I will not leave that land."

Faltings nodded with regret and approval: "Next time I have a chance, let me meet your girlfriend. If I can create the 'Lime Number Theory Fourth-Order Transformation Method' with you, she will definitely be a very good one."

Girl, her name is 'Ning Qingyun', did I remember the name correctly? Well, go and enjoy your dinner, I believe the students at Pudong University tonight will be happy to make friends with you."

…

After the banquet, Academician Wang Xiaoyun said with a smile when he said goodbye: "Qin Ke, I will fly to Columbia University early tomorrow morning to participate in academic exchanges. Are you going back to China the day after tomorrow? Make good preparations when you return to China. You will probably be on stage soon.

Give your acceptance speech."

Qin Ke said unexpectedly: "Award-winning speech?"

"The Xia Guochen Mathematics Award is selected every two years. Usually in February or March after the Spring Festival, the two young people who have made the best achievements in mathematics will be selected and awarded medals and certificates, as well as a bonus of 100,000 yuan.

.Qingmu University should have put your name, and possibly your girlfriend’s name, as a candidate.”

Wang Xiaoyun patted his shoulder lightly: "Work hard, young people, this world will soon be yours."

…

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Qin Ke returned to the Peacock Hotel, and he was still a little tipsy after drinking a lot of wine.

Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize...

If I remember correctly, this was selected and awarded by the Xia Guo Mathematics Society?

The Xia Guo Mathematics Society also has another signboard, the "Xia Guo Mathematics Olympiad Competition Organizing Committee", which is a team of two brands. It can be said that they are old acquaintances of Qin Ke, and the president Hao Jianchang is even close to Qin Ke.

Ke has always kept in touch.

This is not the first time Qin Ke has won an award. He has won various competition awards and special prizes in the Youth Science and Technology Award.

But those are for students.

Xia Guo's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is aimed at mathematics scholars under the age of fifty. The level and meaning of the two are completely different. Qin Ke was quite excited when he thought about this.

And at this dinner, many people mentioned the Kohl Prize in June, saying that he had a very high voice for winning the award. The Kohl Prize is also a very influential international mathematics award, especially in the field of number theory, which is among the top in the world.

award.

Thinking of the upcoming harvest season, Qin Ke couldn't help humming a children's song happily.

Seeing that he was about to return to the room, Qin Ke said goodbye to Chen Ming who was following him. Just as he was about to open the door and enter the room, a system prompt suddenly came to his ears:

"Ding! Congratulations, you performed well at Princeton University's annual mathematics academic report meeting. You won the best speaker award from the organizing committee with your original new mathematical method. The system assessed your 'score' as 'S'

, the 'Grades Make Me Improve' function is in effect, your academic points (mathematics) are 100!""

It seems that the system evaluated his performance very highly, and actually gave him a full 100 math points! It was almost equivalent to him attending two or three academic lectures.

Looking at the system interface again, there are less than 50 points left before the upgrade.

Because he slept on January 5th and did not attend the report meeting, he missed the opportunity to get points, otherwise he would have been upgraded in mathematics by now.

But thinking that it was only less than 50 o'clock, he could get the meeting minutes and ppt of the two days' report meeting to study on his own, and maybe he could get it, Qin Ke's mood improved again.

I went back to my room, lay down, and turned on my phone. It was already filled with WeChat messages. Good friends from high school such as Li Xiong, Xiang Qi, Ge Zhixing, etc. all sent congratulations and compliments. Principal Wen of Yingyuan High School also left a message, half joking and half serious.

I asked him when he would return to Yuanzhou and come to the school to give an opening speech, which would also enhance the prestige of his alma mater.

Qin Xiaoke has the most news.

"Brother, what are Zhou's conjectures and conjectures? Tell me about them. Now I don't even know how to brag. I can only say over and over again, 'It's really cool stuff anyway.

Even if I tell you, you don’t understand, and I feel very unhappy about it!”

"Brother, did you secretly hook up with other young ladies behind Sister Ning's back in the United States? Tell me, I will never tell Sister Ning."

"Also, brother, I'm about to take the final exam, and I'm a little hung up on several subjects except math. When will you and Sister Ning go home... Mom and Dad miss you very much."

Of course, the most common ones are from college classmates, with various messages such as "Monitor, you are so handsome", "Monitor, you are our pride", "Monitor, have you reached the realm of ascension now and overlook all living beings?"

There were not many messages from Ning Qingyun, only a few. The last one was: "Qin Xiaoke, you gave me such a 'scare', how do you think I should punish you? (laughing)"
