The sixteen-year-old boy wanted to give an opening report, and it was an opening report that the organizing committee temporarily changed the agenda for him. Unless his research results really have content, otherwise this is an impossible task. Even if he is the chairman of the World Alliance, , if you make this request without reason, you will probably be scolded by a bunch of mathematicians until you become depressed.

Zhang Nuoke has never doubted the ability of mathematicians to insult people, because he has really experienced it.

At that time, he had just become a working reporter. After offending a mathematician, the other party used rigorous logic, language without profanity, and a slow tone to perfectly prove that he was an idiot and didn't understand shit.

kind.

Zhang Nuoke, who was a member of the school-level debate team during his studies, could not find any logical loopholes in the opponent's logic to refute. He was once rendered speechless. The opponent even gave him a look of disdain for free before leaving.

It was at that time that he began to supplement various professional knowledge and eventually became a resident foreign correspondent.

In short, after confirming the news, Zhang Nuoke acted quickly.

Fortunately, he had been in Paris for four years and had connections at all levels. He quickly got in touch with a member of the organizing committee through an intermediary, and then obtained an electronic pass through the emergency application mode. Loose.

With a sigh of relief, Zhang Nuoke immediately reported the news to the country.

For journalists stationed abroad, this is actually very good. They can completely ignore the time difference and contact colleagues in China anytime and anywhere.

It was at this point in time that the news that Qiao Yu, a sixteen-year-old Chinese boy, was going to give an opening report at the World Congress on Algebraic Geometry quickly circulated within the official media, and even began to attract great attention.

Geometric Langlands Conjecture is something that everyone doesn’t quite understand, but it is taken seriously by many Fields Medal bosses. Even if they try to adjust the conference agenda the day before the opening of the conference and let Qiao Yu give the opening speech, this

It is definitely a hard-earned honor.

What does it mean that if young people are strong, China will be strong?!

So this time many Chinese professors who were invited to attend the conference received calls, especially Qiao Yu's mentor Tian Yanzhen.

"Well, although Qiao Yu's achievement this time is not his achievement alone, as far as the geometric Langlands conjecture itself is concerned, it is extremely important to the world of mathematics because it involves a unified theory, which is also

Something that the world's mathematical community has been pursuing.

From this perspective, this result is indeed worthy of being broadcast in the central media news. Moreover, Qiao Yu made an extremely important contribution in it. He not only found an error in the original paper, but also

He corrected this error in his own way.

The most valuable thing, or the most reportable thing, is that his method of solving this problem has provided many new mathematical ideas and tools to the mathematics community. This is also a buffer for even one day, and the conference organizing committee has to temporarily adjust the agenda to let him

The reason for the sixty-minute opening report."

"My suggestion is not to disturb him at least before the meeting. After all, Qiao Yu is only sixteen years old, and this is his first time standing on the world stage to give an opening report to mathematicians around the world. He needs a quiet adaptation.

And preparation time."

"No, even after the meeting, I suggest not to have frequent interviews and reports. Academic research still requires a relatively quiet environment and a stable mentality... Oh, he also has Weibo? I really don't know

This matter... um, but my point of view remains unchanged. Of course, limited interviews can still be arranged."

Well, Qiao Yu didn't know that a simple adjustment to the meeting agenda had already made him a favorite in the eyes of countless media people and a recent source of traffic. After all, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Although he has never participated in a world-class mathematics conference, he has experienced various small lectures and reports several times. The most recent one even had two Fields Medalists participating, and they even asked various tricky questions.

.

Just so so…

Not to mention that he was still immersed in his own world at this time.

On the one hand, he was struggling with insufficient basic knowledge, which prevented him from even participating in an interesting project; on the other hand, he was still looking forward to it. After he finished his report tomorrow, he would be able to find a way to find out how a certain man would react.

I don’t know if the man smashed his phone when he learned the news. After all, it was five or six years of hard work. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Before falling asleep, the only thing Qiao Yu felt was that it was a pity that he had already determined

The man did not come to the meeting.

I got the news from Dennis.

Of course, Qiao Yu handled this issue with almost no leakage. He just said something in a joking tone at the seminar, hoping that Professor Sam and Professor Frank would not have trouble with him, the little Karami, because of this matter. Then he left Dennis smoothly.

He learned the news he wanted to know.

Professor Sam came, but the man couldn't come because he had other arrangements. But it doesn't matter.

No matter how he escapes, he will eventually know this matter, and he may even know it already. Thinking of Professor Frank's furious look, even in his sleep, he can feel full of happiness. Yes, people are often like this,

Once you feel immersed in happiness, good things will often happen. This is probably what the ancients said, good things always come in pairs, right?

It was already 4:10 in the morning when Frank came out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, and it was already 5:00 in the morning when he arrived at the Monet Hotel. To be honest, the journey was not very smooth.

For most people, it is difficult to have a good sleep whether they are extremely happy, excited and positive, or extremely frustrated or angry. But if it is the former, they often respond to everything around them.

Good intentions, but if it's the latter...

So Professor Frank got into a fight with someone on the plane... and even offended the flight attendant.

If he hadn't still had some sense, he might even have gotten into big trouble. Of course, such an encounter made him feel even worse.

However, he was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep when he arrived at the hotel, only to be woken up again by the ringtone of his cell phone at 7:30 in the morning.

As expected, it was a call from his dear Grandpa.

After he booked the tickets yesterday, he sent a message to Lucas Eisen. The Grandpa also arranged the hotel room in advance, so that he could check in directly after arriving last night. "Frank, did your trip go well last night?"

I assume you are already in the room?"

"Yes, Grandpa, everything is going well. I've been here since five o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, although the meeting doesn't start until half past nine, I think you should first meet Qiao Yu with the professors of the research group during breakfast. Delini, Schultz and I will also be there, just like As you said yesterday, many people are optimistic about Qiao Yu.

They even call Qiao Yu the magical Chinese math kid, so if you hope to achieve something as soon as possible, I think you should establish a good relationship with such a young man. Take advantage of the fact that you are both Chinese, Frank. "

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll get up right now, take a shower and then go to the restaurant." "Yes, I remember it's the restaurant on the third floor. Remember to arrive before eight o'clock."

.

After hanging up the phone, Frank closed his eyes to stabilize his mood, then quickly climbed out of bed and rushed into the bathroom. He deliberately raised the water temperature. When you are extremely sleepy, a hot bath can make you feel refreshed. He woke up from that deep exhaustion. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Frank took three deep breaths in the mirror before going out.

Until you completely overcome that tense and complicated mentality.

There is no way, this meeting is inevitable, even if he is not completely ready yet...

On the other side, Qiao Yu had just finished taking a shower. He washed his face with the soap specially brought from China as usual to show respect for this conference.

Well, as a five-star hotel, it is natural to provide such toiletries in the bathroom, and even thoughtfully prepare things like moisturizer for passengers. But there is no way, Qiao Yu is used to that kind of use Something that someone doesn't like to change easily.

Even though the products provided by the hotel may be more high-end than those used daily, Qiao Yu plans to change his choice before the products he uses make him feel uncomfortable. This has nothing to do with the price or quality of the goods, it is simply a habit. That's all.

Then he met Tian Yanzhen and several professors from Yanbei University and went to the restaurant together.

Tian Yanzhen and Yuan Zhengxin both told him that the conference did not start with the opening ceremony, but with their arrival in Paris. The correct way to participate in such a world-class conference is to take advantage of every opportunity to communicate with other interested parties. Mathematicians exchange valuable ideas. Many times mathematical inspiration comes from the collision of different mathematical ideas.

Qiao Yu summarized it, and concluded that socializing is also a part of participating in mathematician conferences, and it may be a very important part. As for the value of other mathematicians, it probably depends on their status, research content, etc...

This requires his own judgment.

What’s more interesting is that in this world-class mathematician conference, in addition to the mathematicians who are invited to participate, there are also many mathematics students and even mathematics enthusiasts who come to participate at their own expense. All you need to do is submit a copy to the organizing committee After applying and being approved, they will even place their own canvases in various branch venues and even in some public places.

It is a publicity board used to promote one's recent research results and discuss them with interested mathematicians. Of course, this type of publicity is often not recognized by the mainstream mathematics community, and it is very much like everyone holding together to keep warm.

But occasionally there will be some novel ideas, and if a professor takes a fancy to them, they might be able to change someone's life. In any case, meetings focus on communication.

Naturally, Qiao Yu would not refuse this kind of communication.

"Professor Delini just called me. He invited all the main collaborators on the geometric Langlands conjecture to meet with you before the report. In fact, you have met most of them, but Professor Sam and Professor Frank are also here. Well, when you can speak, you should be more thoughtful and not be too irritating.

Especially Professor Frank, he has an extraordinary relationship with Professor Lucas Eisen. Professor Eisen is the director of the Department of Mathematics at Stanford and a member of the AMU Executive Committee. Most importantly, he has a very high reputation in the international mathematics community. Prestige and many friends and students."

On the way to the restaurant, Tian Yanzhen listened to his instructions.

Although Tian Yanzhen doesn't care about some overt and secret struggles in the mathematics world, on the surface everyone is generally friendly and kind, especially when they are qualified to speak with strength, people tend to pay more attention to posture. Of course, Qiao Yu next to him did not Keep the person Tian Yanzhen introduced in mind, and let him pay attention to another person.

"Ah? Professor Sam and Professor Frank are here too?" Qiao Yu asked in surprise.

It was a habit that he would put Sam's and Frank's names together whenever he was in front of other people.

And he will put Professor Sam first, at least for now, he will insist on it. At least until his goal is achieved, Qiao Yu doesn't want anyone to know that he knows that he has some possible relationship with Professor Frank.

Okay, this sentence is a bit hard to pronounce, but that’s what it means.

This question is not surprising to Tian Yanzhen. He can understand Qiao Yu's worries.

So he comforted him casually: "It's nothing, don't be nervous. The fact that they will show up today means that the project team has communicated well within it. Don't worry, no one will argue with a kid like you in public." Obviously Tian Yan really took it seriously. Qiao Yu's excitement was mistaken for worry.

In fact, in the eyes of adults, for teenagers who happen to be sixteen years old and like to show off their strength, sometimes these two emotions are no different, and it is indeed difficult to distinguish them under normal circumstances.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm just curious about whether they will have any opinions on me. I'm sure not nervous. They can't beat me. Even if they want to beat me, they can't run as fast as me. Not to mention that there are You're blocking it!" Qiao Yu made a witty remark, which elicited a smile from Tian Yanzhen. In the end, when no one was paying attention, he just uttered two words: "Naughty!

Quite different from what Tian Yan really thought, Qiao Yu was even looking forward to this meeting.

The reality did not disappoint him. When he followed Tian Yanzhen and the professors from Yanbei University to the restaurant, he soon met several big professors unexpectedly.

Qiao Yu quickly identified Frank from those people. After all, of the four most important members of the entire geometric Langlands conjecture research team, he had only met Sam and Frank, and not only did they have an age difference, but they also had The skin colors are all different.

Qiao Yu had thought many times about how he would feel when he saw this man in person. Now that he actually saw it, he suddenly realized that there were not many emotions at all. It was probably the same as seeing a stranger. Of course. This seems good because it meets Qiao Xi's requirements for him.

There is no need to pay too much attention to that man, just kick him away openly, just like this time. Of course, there may be a next time. Life needs happiness, and every time you do such a thing, you can Make him happy.

"Look, who is here? Qiao Yu, you will be the most dazzling star at today's meeting." Pierre Delini took the lead to greet him and joked with a smile. For the old gentleman, he is When a child says something nice, it certainly cannot be described as a compliment.

"Thank you, Professor Delini."

"Okay, let me introduce to you next. This is Lucas Eisen. He is at Stanford University. If you want to study abroad at Stanford in the future, he can be your recommender."

"Hello, Professor Eisen."
