"Don't worry, Mr. Hofer, I will definitely not submit the proof paper of Goldbach's conjecture to other mathematics journals."
"In terms of time, I will do it as soon as possible."
…
In the waiting room, Xu Yun hung up the phone with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He raised his gaze to meet the gazes of Tang Yanshan and the others beside him, and without hiding anything, he directly told the content of the conversation with the caller.
"It's Mr. Hofer, the editor-in-chief of the Annual Journal of Mathematics."
"He was afraid that I would submit my paper to other mathematics journals, so he called me specifically to request a manuscript."
Xu Yun and Mathematics Annals have cooperated several times, and the process has been very harmonious and satisfactory to both parties.
Naturally no other journal would be chosen in this case.
What's more, when I went to Princeton University before, I had already mentioned this paper to Hofer.
Tang Yanshan smiled when he heard this.
He was not surprised at all by what Hofer did.
On the contrary, if the other party is really so calm, I am afraid that he is not suitable to continue to be the editor-in-chief of the annual magazine.
"Now the entire mathematics community is waiting for your paper. Which journal can publish it almost represents your status in mathematics journals. If I am not wrong, several other journals will also contact you."
"Old Tang is right. You are now the target of those core mathematics journals."
Yuan Chengming took over Tang Yanshan's words and added, without concealing the envy in his tone.
As a mathematician, I would laugh even in my dreams to receive such an honor. It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.
For most mathematics professors, publishing a paper in a top mathematics journal is already a great honor.
Represents the level of knowledge and qualifications.
But Xu Yun was begged by the editor-in-chief of the journal's editorial board to publish it.
The difference is clearly visible.
"It seems that I need to complete the paper as soon as possible. I don't want to be constantly harassed by the editors of other journals."
Xu Yun listened to the words of the two people and muttered to himself quite seriously.
"It's time for us to get on the plane."
It wasn't until I heard Yutani Satoshi's reminder that I came back to my senses, thinking secretly that I would start writing my thesis as soon as I got back.
The entire proof process of Goldbach's conjecture is in my mind, so it is not too troublesome to write it down.
And just as they were boarding the plane back home, Hofer, who was far away at the headquarters of the Annals of Mathematics in Princeton, looked at the cell phone in his hand with the screen off, with a bright smile on his face.
"So this is a surprise!"
"very good."
"With this paper, Annals of Mathematics will definitely become the most authoritative mathematics journal in the field of mathematics."
He felt a little regretful when he learned from Xu Yun that the next paper was not on topological group theory.
So much so that he didn't take the surprise Xu Yun said to heart.
It wasn't until the news came out that Xu Yun had completely proved Goldbach's conjecture at the Mathematicians Conference that he finally knew what a big surprise Xu Yun had given them in the Mathematics Annual.
Originally, he was really worried that several other journals would contact Xu Yun.
But after receiving Xu Yun's affirmative answer just now, this worry disappeared instantly.
All you need to do is wait patiently.
"It seems that I should be able to have a good sleep today." Hofer sighed with emotion as his thoughts stayed here and he got up and walked outside.
The whole person seemed very relaxed.
…
…
Jingzhou University has long received news of the return of Xu Yun and others. For this reason, the school not only held a grand welcome event, but President Wu Zhongping and city leaders personally went to the airport to greet them. After all, just because Xu Yun has made the domestic mathematics community so embarrassed in the world, he is enough to get this treatment.
On the other hand, because Yu Gucong did not return to the imperial capital directly, he was able to enjoy Xu Yun's favor.
During this period, students from various colleges came to join in the fun, even if they were no longer on the same campus, they had to take the subway to get there.
It can be said that the scene is not inferior to the stars at all.
What's more, it's summer vacation right now, otherwise the school roads would have to be blocked with water.
Waves of voices calling Xu Shen came one after another, and in the end Xu Yun was so stunned that he felt a little embarrassed.
Of course, Xu Yun basically fulfilled everyone's wishes.
They also specially put the Fields Medal on display, not to mention the students’ eyesore, and many teachers and professors couldn’t help but take a second look.
After finally holding on until the welcoming ceremony was over, Xu Yun was pulled into the office by Wu Zhongping, Qin Xiangxin and others.
"This time you have brought glory to the school again. I don't even know what to reward you."
Wu Zhongping took out the fine tea leaves from his collection and made Xu Yun a cup of tea, then walked over and spoke matter-of-factly.
Xu Yun quickly stood up and reached out to take the cup, still maintaining his usual humble demeanor.
"What did the instructor say?"
"As a student of Peking University, it is your duty to bring glory to the school."
After sitting down again, I moved the cup to my mouth and took a sip. I felt that it was not much different from ordinary tea.
Or maybe he couldn't taste it.
On the other hand, Qin Xiangxin, who was opposite him, looked very intoxicated.
"Today I am in Xu Yun's favor. Normally the principal would not be willing to use such good tea."
Wu Zhongping did not answer Qin Xiangxin's words. His eyes fell on Xu Yun and he brought the topic back to business.
"Now that you are a doctoral student, what are your next plans?"
Xu Yun suddenly fell into deep thought when he heard this sentence.
He knew that the school had issued him a master's degree certificate and was directly promoted to a doctoral degree.
In fact, the school's original plan was to directly issue him a doctorate degree and officially graduate him, and then directly hire him as a professor at Jingzhou University, which would be equivalent to retaining talents for Jingzhou University.
However, thinking that life as a PhD student is about to end before I have even experienced it, makes me feel a bit too anxious.
Anyway, he already received an honorary doctorate from Princeton University.
So in the end he decided to study for another year of Ph.D., so that he could graduate with Chen Shihe next year.
Four years from undergraduate to doctoral degree is not too slow, not to mention he is only twenty-three years old.
In addition, he also made a rough plan for his subsequent studies. After organizing his language a little, he immediately responded.
"I plan to study materials science and chemistry. Theoretical mathematics is important but it still needs to be applied in practice."
He focused on materials science and chemistry. In addition to the application of mathematics as mentioned, the more important thing is naturally the drawing of the automated intelligent module robot.
Now he basically has a solid foundation in the fields of artificial intelligence and embedded technology.
It is completely possible to produce the modular robot in the drawing.
The key existing materials and battery levels cannot meet the requirements. If these two components are not upgraded, there is really no need to create a castrated version.
The development of human civilization will inevitably be inseparable from artificial intelligence and intelligent robots in the future.
As a mathematician and scientist, he is no longer interested in the pursuit of money. He is more interested in the spiritual sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of acquiring and mastering new knowledge.
Pursue truth.
Watch civilization change in your own hands.
This kind of pleasure is the most valuable.
"Materials and chemistry?"
Wu Zhongping was a little startled when he heard this subject, but he returned to normal in just a moment.
After all, this is not the first time this has happened. Xu Yun also transferred from the Department of Mathematics to the School of Computer Science when he was a graduate student.
Facts have proved that not only did this not affect Xu Yun's research on mathematics, but it was because divergent thinking made it easier to generate inspiration.
In addition, to be honest, he quite hoped that Xu Yun would choose applied subjects.
With Xu Yun's talent, he can produce outstanding results in any field.
Compared with the honors brought by studying theoretical mathematics, improving science and technology to solve backward technology for the country is something that can truly promote social development and improve people's living standards.
The thought stayed here, and Wu Zhongping immediately expressed his stance: "I support you, just do whatever you want."
"The principal is right, Beijing University will always have your backing." Qin Xiangxin put down his tea cup and added hurriedly.
"I know what to do. In addition to the necessary studies and experiments, I will continue to stay at the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics for the rest of the time. After all, I still need to write a paper on the proof process of Goldbach's conjecture."
Xu Yun smiled at the two of them and did not forget to add this sentence.
This undoubtedly made Qin Xiangxin very happy, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
A banquet was originally arranged for the evening, but Xu Yun didn't like this kind of occasion with city leaders, so he asked the company driver to take him back directly on the pretext of going home to be with his family.
Wu Zhongping naturally agreed happily to this. After all, in a certain respect, Xu Yun is the most important person in Beijing University now.
If something bad happens and other universities take the opportunity to poach Xu Yun, not only will Jingzhou University suffer huge losses, but the school image it has maintained for many years will also disappear.
After all, with Xu Yun's influence in academia and online, he must not be allowed to suffer any injustice.
…
night.
Mengjiang Hotel.
In the most luxurious private room, Chen Jianfang's family, Xu Yun and his mother were sitting here.
The atmosphere seemed very harmonious.
Chen Jianfang had already proposed to celebrate Xu Yun's return with such a great honor, and Wang Chunfang also agreed that Xu Yun would not refuse it.
It seems that the two families are looking for an opportunity to get together.
Besides, I haven't seen Chen Shihe for such a long time, and now it's an opportunity for the two of them to talk together.
"Come on Xiaoyun."
"Uncle, congratulations on winning that Fields Medal and bringing glory to the country."
"Thank you, Uncle Chen."
At the dinner table, Xu Yun quickly stood up and drank a sip of red wine with Chen Jianfang, completely treating himself as a junior.
Perhaps because he was happy that his classmate had such an outstanding son, Chen Jianfang drank all the red wine in the cup, and then said something that stunned Xu Yun.
"Xiao Yun, do you like my Shihe? If you like it today, I will make the decision to let her be your wife."
"Our two families will be one family from now on."
Although Xu Yun understood that the matter between him and Chen Shihe was not a secret, it was unavoidable to be surprised when he suddenly said it so directly.
But as a man, you must be responsible at this time. Since everything has been said, there is nothing to hide.
Immediately holding Chen Shihe's hand came out from under the table and answered decisively.
"I have liked Sister Shihe for a long time."
"I also like this kid Shihe very much. If they don't have any objections, then let's make a decision." Wang Chunfang's face was filled with joy when she heard her son's words, and she immediately made a decision.
As a mother, it is undoubtedly the happiest thing in this life to see her son get married and start a family.
