"Do you have any requirements?"

Zhao Xiancai didn't know why the school suddenly came up with such a joint training plan, and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, there is indeed one requirement, and that is that you need to sign an agreement first."

With that said, Dean Yang took out a printed agreement and handed it to Zhao Xiancai.

"The content of this joint training program agreement is basically to allow you to return to China within a certain period of time after completing your doctoral studies there. If you do not return to China, you will need to make certain financial compensation as stipulated in the agreement.

Whether you sign this agreement or not is entirely up to you, and the school will not impose any requirements."

After handing the agreement to Zhao Xiancai, Dean Yang explained the contents of the agreement to Zhao Xiancai.

There was not much content in this agreement, and Zhao Xiancai read it quickly. It was exactly as Dean Yang said. In fact, Zhao Xiancai felt that this was another form of government-sponsored study abroad.

The so-called government-sponsored study abroad is a major measure in the domestic strategy of strengthening the country through talent. It is an important way to select outstanding talents to study abroad according to the needs of modernization construction and development. They are generally sent to well-known universities in countries and regions with developed science and technology and education.

The scope of funding for government-sponsored study abroad usually includes accommodation, meals, transportation expenses... almost everything that can be covered by normal expenses outside. The period of study abroad for jointly trained doctoral students under this project is 6-24 months.

However, government-sponsored international students must return to their country to serve for two years after completing their studies. If they fail to comply, they will need to repay all financial aid fees and pay a 30% penalty.

The agreement that Zhao Xiancai is holding now is obviously much looser than the agreement for government-sponsored study abroad.

"It seems that this is not a sudden whim of the school. It should be done by the school from above. I didn't plan to go out and not come back. After signing this, not only will there be no harm, but it will also save my family a lot of money."

money.

Hehe, if you don’t sign, you won’t sign.”

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiancai decisively told Dean Yang his choice.

After that, he added Academician Wang’s contact information and was dragged into a WeChat group by him.

"This is your new junior, Zhao Xiancai. From now on, you can ask each other if there is anything you don't understand."

After dragging Zhao Xiancai into the group, Academician Wang posted this sentence in the group, and he stopped talking after that.

"Zhao Xiancai? Teacher, is he Zhao Xiancai who proved Erdez's arithmetic sequence conjecture some time ago and was even featured on the news broadcast?"

"I worship God, if I can have this strength, I won't have to worry about graduating."

"The only person who can be pulled into the group at this time is such an old man. I heard that he will graduate this year."

"Graduating this year? Isn't he just a sophomore this year? Even in the second half of the year, it's only the first semester of his junior year? Graduating so soon?"

"I wonder what the boss's graduation topic is?"

…

As soon as Academician Wang finished mentioning Zhao Xiancai's name in the group, all the senior brothers and sisters in the group came out and started talking.

"Zhao Xiancai, have you made arrangements to go to Princeton? When will you leave?"

When Zhao Xiancai was preparing to reply to various inquiries from the brothers and sisters in the group, Dean Yang asked Zhao Xiancai again.

"Not yet, the departure time has not been decided yet." Zhao Xiancai said. After hearing Dean Yang's question, he put his phone away again, before he had time to speak in the group he had just joined.

"You are really not in a hurry. There are only ten days left. Let me recommend a route for you to save you the trouble of searching online later.

Princeton University is located in Princeton, New Jersey, which is quite close to New York City. You can first take a flight from the capital to New York, and then take a train to Princeton. Amtrak and Amtrak are both available, and you can get to Princeton in about an hour and a half.

.

After arriving at Priion, switch to a small train called a dinky to go to Princeton University. It only takes about five minutes. This dinky was specially built for Princeton University."

After saying this, Dean Yang paused for a moment, and then continued to say to Zhao Xiancai, "You should tell me in advance when you are going. This is your first time to go abroad alone, or to the United States. I'm really a little bit worried about it."

worry about you.

If we are unlucky and encounter something, it will be an irreparable and heavy loss to our country of China, no, to the mathematical community in the entire world.

I will make arrangements for you to have someone pick you up at the New York airport or train station. Then you can just wait for you to get off the plane in New York and follow him to Princeton..."

Dean Yang began to recommend the route from the capital to Princeton University to Zhao Xiancai. After the recommendation, he was still not at ease and directly prepared to have someone pick up Zhao Xiancai.

He was not worried about what the US officials would do. Zhao Xiancai studied mathematics and was still an undergraduate. People might not even take a second look at him.

But the United States is not a peaceful place everywhere. Zhao Xian has just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place. If he accidentally meets some people or goes to some places he shouldn't go, the chances of problems are still there.

not small.

"Okay, thank you, Dean Yang. I will buy a ticket and book a route after I go back. I will inform you as soon as possible after the time is determined."

After Dean Yang finished speaking, Zhao Xiancai also said.

Soon after, Zhao Xiancai walked out of Dean Yang's office, took out his mobile phone, and sent a message to the group he had just joined before.

"I am the Zhao Xiancai you are talking about, but I don't dare to be considered a great person. My graduation project is about the Stark conjecture."

"Stark's conjecture? Are you going to study Abelian expansion? Have you started writing about this stuff since you were an undergraduate? You are indeed a master."

"His undergraduate degree also proved Erdez's arithmetic sequence conjecture. His undergraduate degree is not the same as our undergraduate degree."

…

As soon as the news about Zhao Xiancai was posted to the group, the brothers and sisters in the group started to bubble up.

In Dean Yang's office, Academician Wang has not left yet.

"Listening to what you just said, do you really think he can change the world?" Academician Wang asked Dean Yang.

"It's very possible that you have never been in contact with him and don't know how powerful he is. Today's young people are becoming more and more powerful.

You also know the paper that young man from Germany published in the "Annals of Mathematics" last year, right?

Not only did he obtain a bachelor's and master's degree from Germany's five-year academic system in five semesters, he also dropped a blockbuster in the field of arithmetic geometry, and even developed "perfeetry" in his doctoral thesis.

, fully applied geometric methods in the field of algebra, and solved several difficult problems in the field of algebraic geometry through this method.

The youngest mathematical genius before him was Terence Tao.

In my opinion, Zhao Xiancai's strength is no worse than that German guy and Tao Zhexuan, and may even surpass them in the future.

Do you know how long it took Erdös to conjecture the arithmetic sequence?”

"for how long?"

Facing Academician Wang's curiosity, Dean Yang stretched out three fingers.

"Three years? How old is he now? Could it be that he has been studying this problem since high school?"

"It's not three years, it's three months. In total, it's not even three months."

"Three months?"

After hearing what Dean Yang said, Academician Wang truly believed what Dean Yang said.

"It is said that the German Peter Schulze is the most promising person to win the Fields Medal in 2018. From this point of view, if Zhao Xiancai can really solve the structural problem of Abelian expansion in the whole real domain before 2018

.

Coupled with the previous proof of Erdez's arithmetic sequence conjecture, he also has a place in the 2018 Fields Medal.

By the way, how old is he now?"

As Academician Wang spoke, his expression suddenly changed and he asked Dean Yang about Zhao Xiancai's age.
