Qingmu University, President's Office.

Principal Huang Ruide and Vice Principal Gu Bojun were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

The two are high school classmates and have worked together for many years. Huang Ruide is the stronger one, but Gu Bojun is very good at getting along with others, so the two have always worked well together and have a good personal relationship. Whenever Principal Huang goes on a business trip, he will temporarily entrust Gu Bojun to take charge of everything.

This shows his trust in Gu Bojun.

Principal Huang listened to the noise of students coming from the playground in the distance and asked with a smile: "Are Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun a little quiet recently?"

Gu Bojun carefully filled Principal Huang's glass of water, then smiled and said, "Do you think they are not used to it since they haven't caused any major incidents in the past three months since they returned to China in August?"

"Yes, it seems that apart from the papers they published in Acta Physica Sinica and Acta Xia Guo Biology at the end of July, they have nothing new. Are they still studying the hail conjecture?"

Gu Bojun suggested: "It should be. After the final exam in July, I happened to meet Qin Ke and asked about it. He said he didn't have a clue. It's been another three months, how about I ask them how they are progressing?

?”

Principal Huang waved his hand: "Forget it, don't ask them. The difficulty of the hail conjecture is too high. If I remember correctly, there is a famous foreign mathematician Urshit who should have said that the difficulty of the hail conjecture is almost as difficult as

Fermat's conjecture. If you think about it, it took more than three hundred years for Fermat's conjecture to be proposed and proven, while Hailibong's conjecture has only been around for sixty or seventy years. No matter how powerful Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are, they may not be able to solve it.

Prove it out. Moreover, they probably only started researching the hail conjecture in March and April this year, right? They had no idea in July, and it’s only been more than three months now, and I guess there’s not much progress. Asking them will only put pressure on them.”

Gu Bojun nodded slightly.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun chose the hail conjecture as a common topic for Qingba, Gu Bojun also checked a lot of information. The more he checked, the more difficult he found this problem. Even Professor Tao, known as the "genius among mathematical geniuses",

It failed in front of this hail conjecture. It is easy to imagine how difficult the hail conjecture is. It is really not comparable to Polignac conjecture.

It's just that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have won the Mathematics Breakthrough Prize and the Kohl's Number Theory Prize successively, and have already become world-famous mathematicians. Gu Bojun always subconsciously hopes that they will continue to create new miracles.

The two talked about the domestic EDA "Qiguang" released more than a month ago. After all, this is the result of a team led by their school's professor Xu Qingyan, and it deserves attention and publicity.

"I heard that 'Qiguang EDA' is still being tested by major chip manufacturers, and the response is very good. Academician Jiang's students have given our Qingmu University a hard time this time. I still think it is

Miracle, the birth of domestic EDA is as significant as the birth of domestic operations."

Principal Huang said with a smile. Qingmu University has always been half-beaten by Beiyan University in terms of computer science and informatics.

On the other hand, he felt proud.

He asked again: "Are the results of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition out?"

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to report to you. The results came out yesterday." Gu Bojun said softly: "The overall performance of our Xia country is not particularly outstanding. Our school's representative team only won the silver medal. The next door team did better.

Gold medal. Speaking of which, our Xia country has not touched the global championship trophy for more than ten years. The last time it was won was by Zhejiang University 13 years ago."

Principal Huang sighed slightly. He had already guessed that it would not be a good result, otherwise someone would have come to report the good news immediately.

ACM International College Student Programming Competition is the most influential college student programming competition in the world. It is also regarded as the benchmark for the country's future information science. As a school leader of a top domestic university, how could he not hope that his school can compete in such a world-class competition?

Winning the global championship?

It’s just that there is indeed a big gap between Qingmu University and world-class universities in terms of informatics, and this gap cannot be bridged overnight.

Principal Huang remembered something: "Speaking of which, did Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun stop contacting informatics after arriving at our school? They had developed the Lime operating system."

Gu Bojun paid close attention to the two students and read their course schedules and transcripts in detail. He recalled: "They both took elective topics in information science, such as artificial intelligence, graphics, and chips during their freshman and sophomore years.

Architecture, etc., but I have never seen them participate in informatics-related topics and experiments.”

Principal Huang pondered: "Do you think if they participate in ACM, can they win a global championship trophy?"

"Judging from their performance in high school, they should have a good chance, but it's hard to say because they haven't touched programming in two or three years."

"The next ACM competition is next May, and they happen to be still in their sophomore year. If they are interested, we can invite them to participate." Principal Huang made the decision.

"Okay, I remember this. Then I will ask them personally. Maybe they are really interested. These two children are busy with hammers and hammers. They have learned too much and participated in complicated topics.

Just focus on mathematics and physics, and also engage in computational materials science and plant research topics. Alas, sometimes I really don’t know what to say about them.”

Principal Huang smiled tolerantly and said: "It's not a bad thing for young people to have a wide range of interests. The key is that they have made achievements. Now our school doesn't plan to re-open courses in computational physics and computational materials science? If they are willing next year, I would like to

Hire them as instructors for these two courses.”

Gu Bojun couldn't help but laugh: "You are trying to compete with Lao Qiu. Lao Qiu has been eyeing them for a long time. When they graduate from their sophomore year next year, Lao Qiu will capture them and take them to his Qiuzhen Academy as math students.

Lecturer."

Principal Huang sighed: "Talents are rare, especially Qin Ke. They are all-round talents. Whether they are taking the education route to educate people or the scientific research route, they are all at the top level. And their character is even better."

I have to say. To be honest, I don’t know how to treat them well so that they can stay in Qingmu University for a long time. You must know how rich their Qing Ning Technology is."

Gu Bojun agreed. Others may not know that Qing Ning Technology is behind Qing Ning Technology. How could they, who have been following these two people for a long time and have great social influence, not be aware of it?

They even know that the Green Lemon Student Aid Fund has funded five primary schools in the poor areas over the prairie this year and renovated the teaching buildings, allowing hundreds of rural children to sit in bright and bright classrooms. These primary school students still study every month.

The subsidy lasts until you finish college.

It is said that these funds all come from the exclusive donation of Qing Ning Technology, which is donated from the proceeds of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's scientific research results.

That's several hundred million...

There are many billionaires in the Xia Kingdom, but how many people can donate half of their wealth to education like Qin Kening Qingyun? And they don't ask for anything in return, they don't do publicity, they are very low-key.

This is a true act of kindness.

The hearts of these two children are more precious and brighter than gold!

To be honest, after learning about this, both Principal Huang and Gu Bojun had the idea of ​​promoting their two children, but after discussion, they finally gave up the idea.

They respect the wishes of their two children and want to silently protect their wishes.

According to their understanding, the superiors were actually aware of the situation, but out of respect for the two children, they did not report it, and even blocked many media plans to publish it.

Gu Bojun smiled softly and said: "Two children love each other very much. In fact, we don't have to do anything deliberately. We can continue like this, silently shielding them from the ups and downs of the outside world, providing them with all the support they need, and letting them live in peace and contentment.

Just study, live, and do projects in school."

Principal Huang actually knew this, he was just feeling emotional for a moment.

He stood up and looked at the number of running students on the campus playground. He also recalled Qin Ke's unprecedented ultra-long-distance run during the military training last September. He couldn't help joking: "It will be the school sports meeting soon. Listen,

Say Qin Ke signed up for long-distance running, sprinting and long jump? I wonder if he will run again to preach and solve the hailstorm conjecture in one fell swoop?"

Gu Bojun said sternly: "There are enough students practicing long-distance running in our school now. If Qin Ke comes to preach long-distance running again, I estimate that all the students in colleges and universities in Beijing will practice long-distance running every day."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

…

Of course, Qin Ke was not running long-distance. He was sitting in the cinema with Ning Qingyun, watching a science fiction comedy movie to relax his tense spirit.

This is a movie that is said to have grossed over 3 billion at the box office. It tells the story of the protagonist who accidentally ends up on the moon and lives with a kangaroo.

It's quite an interesting story. When they saw the sentence "Humanity was eventually destroyed by mathematics", Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun both wanted to laugh. When they saw the sentence "I work hard to live, just to come back to you"

, the two of them felt a little hot in their eyes.

After watching the movie and having lunch, the sun was just right and even the autumn wind seemed to be less chilly, so the two of them went hand in hand to a nearby newly opened small amusement park.

Ning Qingyun likes to be quiet, so she doesn't like exciting events, so Qin Ke took her to ride the Ferris wheel.

The two sat side by side, looking down from a high position, and happened to see a "big pendulum"-like pirate ship project, and heard the screams of excitement or fear from tourists.

Ning Qingyun's palms were sweating just by looking at it: "Qin Xiaoke, don't you think it's strange? Why would someone like such a dangerous and exciting game?"

Qin Ke smiled and said: "Probably because of experiencing fear. Only by experiencing fear can we cherish our ordinary life and the life we ​​take for granted."

Ning Qingyun thought of the movie she just watched and nodded with deep approval: "It is true. Loneliness and death can indeed make people reflect on the meaning of life and the value of existence." She read a line from the movie sadly:

"I don't want to become a star. That would be too far away from the one I love."

Sure enough, his little cabbage was still a young girl. Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh again and said: "Vega by the river, Morning Cowherd by the river. We haven't crossed Qingqian yet, so we look at each other from a distance."

He held Ning Qingyun's little hand tightly and said: "The ancients thought that the stars were very close together and created many romantic myths and poems. But with the advancement of modern science, we know that the stars that appear to be very close are actually far apart.

How many light years have passed, and this beautiful fantasy is missing. Jun'er, you are better at liberal arts than me, so put aside those scientific and reasonable ideas and just imagine from the sky full of stars, what can you imagine?"

Ning Qingyun really held her chin up and thought: "It should be a picture. Every star is a dot. If you connect different stars at will, it will be a different picture. Whatever picture comes to mind, probably

It can all be outlined through the connections between the stars. After all, there are too many stars to count."

Qin Ke laughed, reached out and pinched her pink face: "It seems that you have learned a lot of mathematics from me recently, and you are still used to thinking about problems from a mathematical perspective, connecting the stars randomly..."

Halfway through, Qin Ke suddenly froze.

Feel free to connect...

Now he and Ning Qingyun have turned the hail conjecture into countless points. Those points are the coordinates of each natural number transformed by the hail conjecture. Through the "Liming Number Theory Hypergeometric Mapping Method", these coordinates can be connected into

The rising and falling curves one after another, based on the relationship between these curves, form some equations, and finally prove the distribution law of the hail conjecture by finding real number solutions, and then prove that the hail conjecture is true under any natural number.

Qin Ke's biggest problem at present is that he has listed the differential equations in most cases and found their solutions, but there are still some things that have slipped through the net and he cannot establish the corresponding equations.

Now Ning Qingyun's unintentional words freed up his thinking.

Yes, why do you keep drawing curves? Why can't you connect them into polygons? As long as you can establish and solve the equation, you can prove that the equation is true, and then prove that in these special cases, the distribution law of the hail conjecture still holds. See, that's not it

Can we draw the final conclusion?

Sparks of thinking kept flashing, and Qin Ke finally saw the direction of success.

Seeing that Qin Ke suddenly fell into deep thought without saying a word, Ning Qingyun blinked strangely, but she was very familiar with Qin Ke and guessed what he might have thought of, so she sat quietly beside him without saying anything.
To be continued...
