In a restaurant outside Oxford University.
"You...are neighbors?"
Yun Rongshang asked in surprise.
After meeting Li Mu just now, she learned that Li Mu and this British girl were going to have dinner together, so she followed them.
Along the way, she also learned about the connection between this British girl and Li Mu.
"yes."
Isa said with a smile.
Yun Rongshang was silent for a moment.
She glanced at Isa and had to admit that this British girl was very beautiful.
Blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and with a model-like figure that can't be concealed despite wearing rather conservative clothes.
Probably no matter where she goes, she can attract the attention of all kinds of boys.
In addition, this person seems to have a very wealthy family.
As a girl, Yun Rongshang also has a lot of knowledge about various fashion brands. Just saying that Isa's clothes and pants are all from Gucci, and the bag she is carrying is also from Hermès.
And it seems to be a limited edition... At least Yun Rongshang has not seen this bag retailing on Hermès' official website.
This is a girl who is full of competitiveness...
Of course, when Yun Rongshang was observing Isha, Isha was also looking at Yun Rongshang.
A Chinese girl who is very familiar with Li Mu?
Moreover, the relationship between the two of them seems to be quite good.
She is also very beautiful, at least she is the most beautiful Chinese girl Isa has ever seen in real life.
I just don’t know which side Li Mu’s aesthetics is more inclined to.
Isa knew very well that different people have different tastes.
Although she believes in her appearance, sometimes such subjective things cannot be described with absolutes.
Okay - at this point she has to admit that she has a great crush on Li Mu.
In other words, there is no girl who studies mathematics who does not like Li Mu.
Of course, this good impression is more of a kind of worship.
So ever since she learned that Li Mu was her neighbor, she had been looking for opportunities to get in touch with Li Mu.
But now...
It seems there is a competitor?
But while the two girls were sizing each other up, what was Li Mu doing?
In his mind, he was still thinking about the idea he just got from Richter.
"Combining the circle method and the sieve method..."
"Why do I always feel blocked..."
He squinted his eyes in thought.
With the ability to multi-task, he had been thinking about this problem even when he was walking on the road just now, but he always had an intuition that this problem seemed to be unable to be solved in the field of pure number theory.
He thought about it for a long time, until finally, he simply took out his draft book from the bag next to him, placed it directly on the dining table, and began to calculate on the spot.
Seeing this scene, the two girls didn't know what to say.
This is really...
Quite a genius.
No wonder he can become the most famous genius mathematician in the world today. Look at his attitude towards academics.
Yun Rongshang and Yisha looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in the other's eyes.
Of course, compared to Isa's helplessness, Yun Rongshang has another habit.
"It's still like this." Yun Rongshang sighed with emotion.
"What does it look like?" Isa asked doubtfully.
"It's like this now, as if possessed."
Yun Rongshang said: "Sometimes I even wonder if he is always thinking about mathematical problems no matter where he is."
"As soon as he has some inspiration or idea, he will immediately take out the scratch paper and write down the inspiration or idea."
Isa was silent for a moment, and then said: "To him... it seems understandable."
"Is that understandable?"
Yun Rongshang shook his head slightly and said nothing.
Isha glanced at Li Mu and whispered: "But he should be able to hear us talking like this, right?"
Yun Rongshang smiled, and then called "Li Mu".
As a result, Li Mu didn't even raise his head.
Isa: "..."
This was the first time she discovered that Li Mu had such an ability to focus on everything.
How focused is this?
Of course, she also took another look at Yun Rongshang. This Chinese girl was not familiar with Li Mu at all.
At this moment, the waiter came over with their order.
"Sir, please be careful."
Before putting the plate on, the waiter said something to Li Mu.
Li Mu also raised his head.
"Oh! Sorry."
He quickly put the draft away from the table.
"Please enjoy it slowly."
The waiter was not surprised by this. After all, it was right next to Oxford University, so there were often professors or students from Oxford University studying academic issues directly in their restaurant.
But when he put down the plate in his hand and glanced at Li Mu, he was stunned for a moment: "Wait, are you that Li Mu?"
Li Mu was stunned, "Uh, it's me."
The waiter recognized Li Mu and was immediately pleasantly surprised: "My dear, can I take a photo with you?"
"sure."
The waiter immediately took out his mobile phone and took a photo with Li Mu. Looking at the photo, he said excitedly: "It's really great!"
"I wish you and the two ladies a pleasant meal."
Then he left here happily, as if he had met his idol.
Of course, Li Mu was already used to this kind of thing. He turned to look at the two girls and said hello: "Eat first, I'll treat you to this meal."
Then he was not polite and started eating immediately.
He was already hungry anyway.
The two girls nodded silently and then started to move.
At the end of the meal, it was quite enjoyable, mainly because this restaurant is not a traditional British restaurant.
Yisha and Yun Rongshang kept chatting and became good friends as they chatted. After eating, they told Li Mu that they wanted to go shopping together.
When it comes to girls going shopping, Li Mu of course directly stated that he would not go.
First, to prevent his leg from breaking. Second, with this free time, he might as well go back and read more papers.
After thinking just now, he already had some ideas and needed to find a quiet place to verify them.
"Bye then."
"Bye-Bye."
After waving goodbye to the two girls and watching their walking away, Li Mu turned around and walked back to school.
But, could he really not hear what the two were discussing when they were eating just now?
In fact, with his ability to multi-task, he can hear what is contained in the sounds around him at any time, and the computer in his mind will save all the information for him.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a kind of hyperamnesia, but the existence of the brain computer can help him store this information in another form, avoiding the burden of hyperamnesia patients.
So he knew exactly what the two girls were talking about just now.
He is not really emotionally insensitive, he can clearly feel anyone's emotions towards him.
Including Yun Rongshang's feelings for him.
But even though I know it, some things are only suitable for collection.
What is collection?
It's those things that you think are good things, but you can't use them for the time being, so they are hidden.
Maybe you can use it when you suddenly remember it.
However, Li Mu will think of this collection at some point...
He didn't know, but at least not at this time.
…
Time passed quietly again.
The moon at night changed from a curved hook to a jade plate, and from a jade plate to a curved hook.
One month has passed, and the world has arrived in May.
"You mean... if you try it from the field of number theory alone, the sieve method and the circle method cannot be combined?"
In Li Hete's office, he said to Li Mu in great surprise.
"Roughly speaking, it can be explained this way."
Li Mu nodded.
"To some extent, number theory, as a field that only studies integers, has many problems, especially - it is not perfect."
Having said this, Li Mu smiled again: "Of course, there is no perfect subject in the world."
Li Hete frowned.
The news told by Li Mu made it difficult for him to accept it for a while, because he had been trying to unify the sieve method and the circle method in the field of number theory.
But now, Li Mu directly rejected this direction.
"So what do you mean?" Li Heter couldn't help but ask.
Li Mu didn't say much and just wrote on the blackboard.
After taking a few glances, Richter asked, "Is this...K-mode theory?"
"Yes." Li Mu nodded.
K-module theory is a new theory he developed to solve another version of the twin prime conjecture, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture.
After the birth of this theory, it has been sought after by the mathematics community. After about eight months, many achievements in the academic community have been born based on the K-module theory, whether it is from the four top journals or other Secondary journals have published many papers in this area during this period.
K-module theory has become a star tool in the mathematics world.
Richter was very surprised: "You plan to use K-module theory to solve Goldbach's conjecture?"
"Yes and no."
Amid Richter's doubts, Li Mu explained: "K-module theory is not suitable for solving prime number problems, especially its adaptability to Goldbach's conjecture is not as good as the circle method and the sieve method."
"However, for the circle method and the sieve method, I think they can use the help of K-module theory, and then achieve combination, and then help us solve Goldbach's conjecture."
Li Heter was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have to admit that your idea is very novel. Maybe you are right?"
"But I have to say that, unfortunately, I haven't done much research on algebraic geometry, so I'm not particularly familiar with K-module theory."
"I still choose to continue starting from the field of number theory."
Li Mu nodded, but had no intention of persuading Li Heter.
Different mathematicians have different ideas about mathematics. If you insist on persuading others to follow your own ideas, it will easily arouse others' resentment.
"Then... let's start independent research?"
Li Mu said.
Since the direction of thinking has changed, there is no need to maintain the cooperation method of communicating once a week like this.
Li Heter smiled and then extended his hand to Li Mu: "I think this is the only way to go. I didn't expect that our cooperation will end after only one month."
"However, this is not surprising. You are a truly all-round genius, whether in mathematics or in all sciences."
In mathematics, Li Mu not only shined in number theory, but also had in-depth research on algebraic geometry, and his Li expansion showed his amazing talent in differential calculus.
In all sciences, Li Mu made many amazing achievements in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Therefore, Richter did not think the end of cooperation was any surprise.
Perhaps, the original cooperation with Li Mu was wrong in itself.
"Then, I wish you success."
Richter said at the end.
Li Mu also nodded slightly: "I also wish you success."
Li Hete laughed.
From now on, their status has changed from collaborators to competitors.
However, Richter will not be distressed because he has such a strong competitor.
There is no other reason, simply because as a child of a hereditary noble, he is not short of money or status, and he studies mathematics just because of his hobby.
Although such a simple hobby made him become a professor at Merton College, Oxford University.
However, Richter had one thing wrong. Li Mu did not just make important achievements in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
At least, he was basically involved in anything that had something to do with science, such as biology.
…
"Hello, are you Mr. Li Mu?"
When Li Mu returned to his dormitory and received the call from the United States, he was a little confused.
"It's me, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Li!" The voice of the other party immediately became happy: "This is the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island, New York, USA. I am Adrian Kleiner... Well, of course, if I introduce you like this, you may not know To be very clear, in order to avoid you misunderstanding, I have to state in advance that I am not trying to show off. This year’s winner of the Wolf Prize in Medicine is me.”
"I now sincerely invite you to join our laboratory and work with me to overcome cancer, the biggest problem in biology."
"We really need your mathematical analysis skills, please agree!"
