"You are going to quit the project team now. It will be some time before the opening of the International Congress of Mathematicians, right?" Pan Wenjun in the office frowned slightly after reading the application form Xu Yun handed over. After a while, he couldn't help but add: "It won't take long. Our project will be completed tomorrow, and there will be a celebration party to be held by then."

The solid-state lidar project has achieved such great success, and Xu Yun’s design proposal is indispensable.

He is the biggest contributor to the project.

Seeing that the project was about to be completed, when it was time to celebrate, Xu Yun always felt that something was missing when he left.

Outsiders who don’t know the situation might think they are being suppressed.

Although he knew that Xu Yun would leave sooner or later, he still hoped to attend the celebration party.

Since Xu Yun gave a positive reply to Princeton University, he must go there on time.

Besides, there is also the International Congress of Mathematicians next month, so there really cannot be too much delay.

At present, the lidar project is basically completed. Although there are still a few days until the mission rewards are released, it will not have any impact even if he does not stay in the joint laboratory.

His thoughts stayed here, and he answered Pan Wenjun truthfully.

"Academician Pan, Princeton University invited me to come over for academic exchanges."

"Also talk to Professor Deligne and Professor Witten."

"So we need to leave early and wait until the end of the month to transfer from Princeton to de Janeiro to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians."

"Invite you to participate in academic exchanges?"

Pan Wenjun was startled when he learned about this situation. He had forgotten Xu Yun's status in the world of mathematics.

Just by proving Hodge's conjecture, let alone being specially invited by Princeton University for academic exchanges, even giving lectures to professors at the school would be normal.

As for Deligne and Witten, he is no stranger to them. They are both professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and both have won the Fields Medal. It will also be helpful for Xu Yun to communicate with them.

Faced with such a hard-core reason, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

He immediately took out a pen and signed his name on the application form, agreeing for Xu Yun to leave the laboratory.

"Are you taking a flight directly from the Imperial Capital or returning to Jingzhou first? Have you completed the passport and procedures?"

Pan Wenjun handed the application form to Xu Yun, not forgetting to care about the situation and will definitely provide help as soon as possible if there is any problem.

"I have been in the imperial capital for a few months. I must go home first. Beijing University has already completed the procedures for me." Xu Yun took the application and answered truthfully.

After all, Princeton University invited him this time, so there was nothing to stop him from helping with the connection.

"That's good."

Confirming that there was no problem on Xu Yun's side, Pan Wenjun nodded and said assuredly.

In the end, I did not forget to remind you: "Say goodbye to everyone."

"I know Academician Pan."

Having said that, Xu Yun didn't intend to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.

But just after taking two steps, Academician Pan's voice came from behind again.

"correct."

"I will ask for the results of the project to be kept secret for a period of time, and I will announce them to the outside world after you come back from attending the conference."

"And you kid must get the Fields Medal back."

Xu Yun turned around again when he heard this, and finally uttered a short answer.

"I will try my best."

Although he has a high probability of winning the Fields Medal, his previous failure to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize made him dare not make a 100% guarantee.

But what we do know is that the whole country is paying close attention to this matter.

The Fields Medal has been established for such a long time and has been awarded many times, but no real Chinese has ever won it.

Especially those who have received traditional education since childhood.

Now he relies on his talent to prove the world's mathematical problems, and everyone finally sees the hope of winning the Fields Medal. Naturally, they all want to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.

Besides, at his current age, if he wins the Fields Medal, he will be the youngest winner in history.

The international status of the domestic mathematics community will skyrocket.

Xu Yun is well aware of the significance of this matter, so he is more proactive in the Fields Medal.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Fields Medal is not awarded to him at this mathematician conference, then it will only be the International Mathematical Union that loses face and is questioned about its gold content.

Because he is going to announce a news at the conference that will shock mathematicians around the world again.

Goldbach's conjecture was completely proven.

In addition, it doesn’t matter that Pan Wenjun plans to keep the project secret for the time being. Anyway, it will only be half a month before it is made public.

It won't affect anything.

On the contrary, this proved that he valued Xu Yun.

Acknowledging the progress of the solid-state lidar project is Xu Yun's greatest contribution.



Xu Yun came out of Academician Pan's office, raised his eyes and noticed other people in the project team.

Apparently everyone already knew that he was leaving.

Everyone thought that Xu Yun was preparing for the Mathematicians Conference next month, so there was no sadness about parting.

On the contrary, I was sincerely happy for Xu Yun.

"Have you packed everything? Brother Fei and I will take you to the station."

Tang Kang was still as familiar as ever. He stretched out his hand and put his arm around Xu Yun's shoulders naturally. Although his face was filled with a bright smile, it was still not as eye-catching as the bald head.

"Then thank you two senior brothers." Xu Yun reluctantly moved his eyes away from Tang Kang's head, but did not reject their kindness.

Xu Yun then said goodbye to everyone in turn and said that he would come back then.

Finally, he took a bunch of small gifts and took the bus to the station accompanied by Tang Kang and Qin Hangfei.

"I heard that the Fields Medal medal is made of gold. Junior brother, you have to bring it over to me when the time comes."

"It's no problem if you can get the guarantee." Xu Yun answered Tang Kang with a smile in the car.

Originally, he and Tang Kang were chatting in the car to pass the time, but after talking about the Mathematicians Conference next month, they naturally brought up the Fields Medal.

It can be seen that everyone has high hopes.

Xu Yun would definitely not badmouth his friends when faced with their kindness, so he made a promise.

But just as he finished speaking, Tang Kang replied decisively: "Don't worry, you will definitely get the Fields Medal back this time, don't you think so, Brother Fei?" After saying that, he didn't forget to pull Qin Hangfei away from the car. Enter the topic.

"I believe too."

Qin Hangfei nodded in agreement.

Soon the vehicle drove into the station, and Tang Kang and Qin Hangfei watched Xu Yun enter the waiting hall before leaving.

Xu Yun was relatively familiar with this high-speed train that traveled between the imperial capital and Jingzhou.

After finding his seat, he closed his eyes and rested.

at dusk.

The high-speed train stopped at the Jingzhou High-speed Railway Station smoothly. As soon as Xu Yun walked out with his bag on his back, he saw Chen Shihe waving to him.

Compared with the season before leaving, July is now a relatively hot time in Jingzhou.

Today, Chen Shihe wore a plain waisted floral dress, revealing half of her flawless white legs. The transparent sandals on her feet could not block her cute toes that wanted to breathe air. Although she did not comb her hair specifically, she could still see it on her face. Sophisticated light makeup.

Even wore lipstick.

Xu Yun, who hadn't seen him for several months, immediately walked over quickly, put his backpack on the ground and gave him a hug.

"Xu Yun."

"There are many people watching."

Chen Shihe obviously didn't expect Xu Yun to be bold this time. Feeling the sense of security surrounded by his body, he shouted in a low voice but did not struggle.

Of course, Xu Yun didn't hug him so tightly, and soon let go.

"How are you lately?"

"It's just some group tasks, definitely not as busy as you." Chen Shihe replied softly in the face of Xu Yun's concern.

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "Did your trip to the Imperial Capital go well this time?"

"It went very smoothly. The project is progressing rapidly and is basically completed." Xu Yun answered with a smile without hiding anything about this matter.

"That's good."

"Auntie is still waiting for you at home. Let's go back quickly."

Chen Shihe nodded, and then without further wasting time, he pulled Xu Yun towards the parking place.

Because he was afraid of affecting Xu Yun's work, Chen Shihe usually would not take the initiative to contact Xu Yun. This made the number of video calls very few. Now that they finally met, they naturally had a lot to talk about.

Through conversation, Xu Yun also learned that Chen Shihe has been thinking about work issues recently.

She will graduate from graduate school next year, and since she has no intention of becoming a female doctor, she plans to work officially.

She had no idea of ​​inheriting the Mengjiang Hotel at home, and she didn't want to be too far away from Xu Yun.

It’s really troublesome to find the right one.

Xu Yun had some thoughts about this, but he didn't say it directly in the car.

Anyway, there is still one year until Chen Shihe graduates, so there is no need to rush for this moment.

When I got home, my mother had already prepared the meal. Wang Chunfang didn't let Chen Shihe leave and the three of them had dinner together.

The next day.

After Xu Yun finished breakfast, he spoke to his mother and then set off for school.

Prepare to get the passport paperwork as soon as possible so you can travel to Princeton.

——

"You are worthy of being a student of our Beijing University. This time you have made a lot of money for our Beijing University."

Wu Zhongping in the principal's office praised Xu Yun when he saw him opening his mouth, while Tang Yanshan and dean Qin Xiangxin next to him were all smiles.

"News has come from the joint laboratory. Lao Pan thinks very highly of you." Xu Chongxing, who was also staying in the office at this time, explained.

"The successful completion of the project was mainly due to everyone's efforts. I just happened to discover a better technology."

Xu Yun faced several acquaintances from school, smiled and answered.

Since this was not what we wanted to discuss today, Wu Zhongping laughed and cursed and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Okay, you don't have to be modest."

"In short, the credit and bonus are all yours. Lao Pan will take care of it."

"The school has taken care of your passport and procedures. I only have one request for you. This time when you go to Princeton University for an exchange, you have to show your performance. You must let them know the level of our Peking University students."

"Don't worry, principal." Xu Yun nodded and assured.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xiangxin walked over and gave instructions with expectation on his face.

"Lao Tang will also be coming to this mathematician conference. Academician Yuan and Lao Tang are both here at the Mathematical Society, so you don't have anything to worry about."

"We've already said hello to Princeton University. You can go there with them when the time comes."

"We will meet at the hotel prepared for the conference in Janeiro."

Xu Yun had already known about the school's arrangements, and nodded again to show his understanding.
