The word "let" in French names is generally used by the older generation. Young people no longer add this word to their names, and they even madly ridicule those who are also young and have "let" in their names.
Of course, they certainly wouldn't ridicule the older generation with "Rang" in their name, maybe they are some great people?
For example, this Jean-James Searle is himself a lecturer in the Department of Mathematics of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris. After all, it is not surprising that his grandson followed the path of his grandfather because of the grandfather of such a mathematician.
And he has also inherited his grandfather's talent very well, and has achieved quite a lot in mathematics, but he has not completely replicated his grandfather's talent. After all, before Lin Xiao, the youngest Fields Medal winner, That is his grandfather Jean-Pierre Serre.
Of course, after seeing Lin Xiao, Jean-James Searle also showed great enthusiasm.
In any case, Lin Xiao is the greatest genius in mathematics in this era.
Soon, after a simple chat, Lin Xiao expressed his intention to come.
"Are you planning to visit my grandpa?"
Lin Xiao nodded.
He needed to explain the misunderstanding to Professor Searle, which was also one of the purposes of his visit to France this time.
"I don't know if grandpa can see you now. Grandpa is too old. Although he doesn't suffer from any serious illness, he basically doesn't have much energy on weekdays." Jean James Searle stood up and said: " Let's go and have a look first, just come with me."
Lin Xiao nodded, and then went upstairs with him.
Soon, he entered one of the bedrooms.
I saw an old man with a skinny face and a tired face leaning on the bed, wearing a pair of reading glasses, and holding a magnifying glass in his hand, looking at a book in his hand.
Looks like a thesis.
If Lin Xiao goes up to take a look, he will find that this paper is his proof of Riemann's conjecture.
"Grandpa, are you awake?"
Seeing this scene, Jean-James Searle quickly stepped forward and asked.
"Well, just woke up, that girl Lucia called someone, is there a guest?" Professor Searle put down the paper in his hand and turned his head to look.
Jean-James Searle gave way to Lin Xiao with a smile, and said, "Look, who is here."
Professor Searle was taken aback for a moment, looked at Lin Xiao who was standing behind, and then showed excitement on his face.
"Lin...is it Lin? Are you here?"
Lin Xiao stepped forward, "Teacher, it's me."
At the door, Jean-James Searle sighed slightly when he saw this scene. How long has it been since he saw his grandfather so excited?
I wanted to remind Grandpa to calm down so as not to affect his body, but after seeing the scene in front of him, he finally forgot, left the bedroom, and closed the door.
On the bed, when Professor Searle saw Lin Xiao approaching, he opened his eyes wide and saw his face clearly. After confirming that it was Lin Xiao, he finally showed a gratified smile.
"You, you still know to come to see me."
Lin Xiao smiled, "Now that it is safe to go abroad, I will naturally come out."
Searle sighed, "You should have had a hard time these years, right?"
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's not that hard, not to mention it's worth it."
Searle smiled, "It's really worth it. You alone made your country achieve such a huge rise. I thought that this kind of thing would happen in the ancient times at most, but I didn't think that you alone It did."
"Maybe it's also...God's blessing." Lin Xiao said, is his system counted as God's blessing?
If the one who gave him the system came from a civilization with an unprecedented level of technology, then is it a kind of favor that he was chosen to get this system?
Or somewhere else, what determines all of this?
This question was quickly thrown away by him, then he looked at Professor Searle again, and said, "Teacher, I actually came here to ask you a question."
"Oh? What's the problem? Of course, it's the same sentence back then. If it's a math problem, I can't teach you. At most, I can only provide you with a little reference in life."
Lin Xiao smiled: "It's not that far-reaching, I just want to ask, do you still blame me for not replying to you back then?"
Searle was taken aback when he heard this question, and then he couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that you were talking about my [-]th birthday party?"
"Yes."
Searle shook his head, "I've already forgotten about that incident. It's been so many years, can I still be angry?"
Hearing such an answer, Lin Xiao also showed a smile on his face, "That's fine... Anyway, it's my fault for making the teacher angry with the students. In fact, I didn't reply back then because... ..."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those things back then. Did you come here just to ask me if I was angry? If you are like this, then I will be really angry. "
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't talk about it."
Searle shook his head, then propped himself up, "Come on, help me, go to the window."
Lin Xiao nodded, then helped Serre up, left the bed, and went to the window.
While walking, he could also see Professor Searle's extremely thin body that seemed to be just skin and bones through the outline of the clothes swinging.
That's life passing by.
Lin Xiao couldn't help thinking again in the morning, is human life limited after all?
When I came to the window and looked at the scenery outside, Paris in July was also full of vitality.
Searle pointed to a rowan tree in the courtyard outside the window, and said, "I planted this tree by myself the year Josian left, and it is still so luxuriant now."
"Oh, Josian is my wife, a chemist. Unfortunately, she has been away for 26 years. If she is still here and knows you, she will be very happy."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly: "It will definitely."
Both of them looked out of the window quietly, and after a while, Searle spoke again.
"Lin, what do you think true freedom is?"
"True freedom?" Lin Xiao looked at the sky: "Until our technology can send us to every corner of the universe, every thought and will of ours can be realized due to the development of science and technology, this is I think freedom."
"Well, it's very idealistic, and it fits you very well." Searle nodded slightly, "But we need to pursue the freedom of the moment, the freedom you mentioned is too far away, at least, our generation can't see it, right? ?”
"It's like that bird." Searle pointed to the bird on the branch of the lush rowan tree, and said: "A few decades ago, there was no such tree here, so the birds had to settle elsewhere. Do you think they are freer now than before?"
"It doesn't count." Lin Xiao shook his head: "Because this tree also blocked them."
"Yes, so no matter how fast science and technology develop, it will actually make us lose another part of our freedom to some extent."
Searle nodded slightly: "So, your definition of freedom can go further."
"Most importantly, set your own heart free."
"Whatever comes to your mind, just try to do it. I will probably go to heaven soon to see my Josian, and you still have a lot of time to let you be more free."
Lin Xiao pondered, then nodded: "I see."
"Yeah." Serge nodded.
Lin Xiao said again: "However, teacher, you have to maintain a good mood. Although heaven is good, the world is worth staying in."
Searle smiled: "I know my physical condition, and I am more satisfied than most people if I can live to the end of my life."
"Of course, as a mathematician, what makes me more satisfied is that I can also witness the solution of the Riemann conjecture."
He turned to look at Lin Xiao, smiled and said, "So, I'm already looking forward to that day in two weeks."
Lin Xiao also smiled slightly, "I promise I won't disappoint you."
"Ah."
……
Two weeks passed quickly.
The International Congress of Mathematicians also ushered in the last day.
It is also the most important day.
The academic report on the proof of the Riemann conjecture officially arrived today.
The Paris government also attached great importance to this academic report, and specially arranged a conference room large enough to allow more people to participate in this century's academic report.
And the major media from all over the world also flocked here.
This report will be broadcast live globally.
And the number of people who followed has reached millions, which is unprecedented for a mathematics major report meeting.
This is also the Riemann conjecture, the most important problem in today's mathematics world, and the treatment it deserves!
Chapter 537 A Hard Battle
"Hi everyone, this is the Paris Convention Center, France."
"What will be held here today is the last day of the 2030 International Congress of Mathematicians, and it can also be regarded as the most important meeting before the closing meeting."
"That is, an academic report on the proof of the Riemann conjecture."
"The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the most famous problems in mathematics, and it is also one of the most important and urgent problems in mathematics."
"It was proposed by the famous mathematician Bernhard Riemann in 1859. Its purpose is to analyze the most fundamental problem in mathematics, that is, the distribution law of prime numbers. If we provide more directions for scientists, it will play an extremely important role in the development of mathematics."
"Until today, there are thousands of propositions that can be established based on the correct assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis, and once the Riemann Hypothesis can be confirmed in an absolutely rigorous proof, then these thousands of propositions will become mathematics. theorem."
"Therefore, whether the Riemann Hypothesis can be proven will attract the attention of all mathematicians, practitioners and enthusiasts in the world."
"Three months ago, my country's chief scientist and famous mathematician, Mr. Lin Xiao, publicly published a paper on the proof of Riemann's conjecture. After several months of research and analysis by the mathematical community, today, Lin Xiao Mister will explain it in today's report and accept the test of the mathematics community."
"This will also be a historic report."
"..."
At the back of the conference hall, reporters from Huaguo were explaining to the camera in front of them.
And the reporter's face was also full of pride. After all, the protagonist of this report meeting was a compatriot with him.
When other media around saw this scene, they couldn't help showing envious expressions on their faces.
Why can people have such powerful scientists?
Of course, what happened after that didn't get everyone's attention. Most of the people present were mathematicians.
As for mathematicians, of course they all pay more attention to the report itself.
In the end, can Lin Xiao make this report perfect?
A corner of the auditorium.
An old mathematician came through the door and made his way to his seat.
Seeing the old mathematician, the people present quickly recognized him.
"Oh! It's Gould Faltings!"
The ordinary mathematicians or ordinary mathematics enthusiasts who came here couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It turned out to be this big guy.
Of course, being surprised means being surprised that I was able to see this boss in person at the scene, but it was completely expected that this boss would appear here.
After all, Faltins is not the only big boss at the scene.
After Faltins came to his seat, an acquaintance next to him smiled and said to him: "You are finally here, why didn't you see you coming a few days ago?"
Faltings glanced at the person beside him, it was Andrew Wiles.
After a glance, he withdrew his gaze, then sat down, re-read Lin Xiao's paper and read it, and said at the same time: "I don't have so much energy to read those papers that are not interesting and breakthrough enough." It is better to focus all your energy on this most important one."
"Okay." Andrew Wiles shook his head, "You are still you, but according to what you said, could it be that you have already approved Lin's paper? Come to think of it, you have read it all over the past few months Bar?"
"I agree with his method, but I haven't approved his conclusion yet." Faltings said: "I can say that I have studied the Riemann conjecture for half my life, and Lin passed the large prime number gap problem and Lindelof The combination of conjectures, and then build the most critical bridge in the middle, I agree."
"This idea is obviously more subtle than those previously used by the mathematics community, and it doesn't even look like it was thought up by the human brain."
"Although the method is subtle enough, the middle part is a bit rough, like a precision instrument, the teeth of two gears cannot be perfectly meshed, which eventually leads to the instrument not working properly. .”
Hearing Faltings' words, Wiles just smiled, "Perhaps when you ask Lin Xiao this question later, he will become the most powerful mechanical master, and then tell you that you are the one who used this machine. The mechanical method went wrong."
Faltings shook his head expressionlessly, "Maybe, but sometimes, I believe that I am right."
Wiles smiled, then leaned back on the back of the seat, and then told Faltings, "Then you just wait, I still support Lin Xiao."
"I have no problem with his proof."
Faltins smiled, "Maybe if I tell you the problems I found, you will know what I mean in your heart."
"Forget it. I don't want to go through this report meeting with a doubting attitude. Now I just want to enjoy this report, and then I will take a look at how Lin Xiao made the final report. You guys are all convinced."
