Chapter 142 Worldwide Attention

"Unbelievable!"

"Bravo!"

The mathematicians sitting in the front row applauded and marveled.

Originally, they wanted to see some overlooked issues from Lin Xiao's narration, but after such a report, Lin Xiao's narration was smooth and concise, without any unclear points. Probably other listeners

As long as the basics are more solid, you might be able to understand how Lin Xiao derived his theory.

And with such a performance, they can only be described as wonderful.

Wiles applauded in the audience, with emotion in his eyes.

This scene is so similar to him back then.

He whispered: "Lin is doing better than me."

"Oh why."

Edward Witten, sitting next to Wiles, asked.

Edward Witten, the proposer of M theory, is also the only physicist to win the Fields Medal as a physicist.

After Wiles left the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the two became colleagues, so their relationship was naturally relatively close.

Wiles said: "I thought I could complete my final proof in front of everyone, but unfortunately, my first proof failed."

"Then do you think he has proved successful? Maybe, like you, at the end of this season, someone asked a fatal question."

"No, look at how rigorous this young man's proof process is, and you will know that this is impossible." Wiles shook his head and looked at the face of the young man on the stage. In their mathematical world,

, what a vibrant face is that?

"If you ask other people what they think of Lin Xiao's entire report, you will know that his report is even more outstanding than the last report at the Mathematicians Conference."

At that time, there was a problem in Lin Xiao's proof. In the end, Professor Wiles asked Lin Xiao the most critical question, and Lin Xiao answered it.

But now Lin Xiao has made up for this shortcoming.

"That's right." Witten nodded.

Wiles smiled and looked at Lin Xiao with eyes full of the high hopes that seniors place on their juniors.

Not just Wiles and Witten, other mathematics professors were extremely emotional. Whether it was Sarnak and Deligne from abroad, or Xu Ji, Yuan Ya, etc. from China, they felt very grateful for Lin Xiao's success here.

For his performance in the field report, they could only give him their own applause.

It has been more than two hundred years since the birth of Goldbach's conjecture, which has attracted countless great mathematicians to conduct successive studies. It has caused countless regrets and become a thorn in the hearts of countless people.

That simple letter was originally sent by Goldbach to ask Euler for advice, but it has gone through countless years.

Until this day, more than two hundred and seventy years later, it finally stopped on the road of the history of mathematics. It was engraved on this day in 2019 and left the column representing unsolved problems in the palace of mathematics.

We came to the column representing mathematical theorems.

Everyone seems to be relieved, because the mathematical world has once again climbed a big mountain.

At the same time, Lin Xiao on the stage listened to the applause of the audience and smiled on his face.

At this point, his report is completely completed.

To be honest, when he started to talk about his theory, the nervousness he felt at the beginning disappeared without a trace. He forgot about the audience he was facing, and what was left was only academic rigor and

serious.

It was only at this moment that he realized that he was facing the eyes of tens of thousands of people.

All in all, it feels pretty good.

In this way, he enjoyed the wave of applause from the audience until the wave gradually ended.

Then, he said: "Well, friends who have questions now can ask."

He looked around for a moment, but didn't see anyone raising their hands.

This surprised him. No one had any problems?

He had some doubts that he had not made it clear, so he repeated it again: "Those who have doubts about the process can ask questions now."

But after a while, no one raised their hands.

The people below also looked around and found that no one had any problems.

Of course, the 'people with questions' referred to here are limited to the mathematicians sitting in the front row, and those sitting in the back row have questions everywhere, but obviously they cannot stand up to ask questions.

The mathematicians in the front row were also a little surprised. It turned out that no one found the problem.

However, this is to be expected. After all, everyone has read Lin Xiao's paper. Since no problems were found when reading the paper, it is not surprising that there are still no problems now.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao smiled. Obviously, this meant that his report was perfect.

He smiled slightly, then took a deep breath and announced: "Since everyone has no questions, I think this is the end of my report. Thank you all for coming. Thank you."

He bowed deeply, and the audience once again burst into huge applause.

Huge applause accompanied Lin Xiao's turning figure until he left the podium, and even after returning to the backstage, the warm applause could still be heard clearly.

…

Obviously, the end of the report does not mean the end of the whole thing.

The attention that Lin Xiao received later went far beyond that.

The simultaneous live broadcast of this report on the Internet has attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers. The moment these viewers saw Lin Xiao completing the proof, they had already expressed all their enthusiasm in the explosive bomb.

The curtain went up, and then these netizens rushed to major online platforms to discuss, such as the issue of scarves.

The scarf Lin Xiaofa originally said that his results still need to pass peer review, but now that the report is over, no well-known mathematician has raised any questions. Doesn't this mean that it has been recognized by the mathematics community?

Immediately, these netizens rushed under the scarf to comment.

"Lin Shen is still humble, don't go to the auditorium of Beijing University, just go to the Great Hall of the People"

"On why Lin Shen is a god, the first is Goldbach's conjecture"

"Lin Shen, I traveled back from January 19th and secretly told you a secret. You gave the report at the Great Hall of the People. After your report, no one asked any questions. You proved to be successful!"

"You traveled back from the 19th, why did you also speak on the 19th?"

"Because the time can only be kept on the 19th doge"

"Now that God Lin has proven Goldbach's conjecture, is it going to be the Millennium Problem next?"

"Lin Shen, charge!"

…

The enthusiasm of netizens is unimaginable.

Originally, this scarf only had more than 10,000 replies. However, after the live broadcast, the number of replies seemed to take off again, directly exceeding 30,000 and approaching 40,000. This led to Lin Xiao's scarf being listed directly.

It is in the top ten of the hot search list.

In the top ten hot searches, in addition to the fact that his scarf is listed as [Lin Xiao proves Goldbach's conjecture], there are two related hot searches on it, namely [Prove Brother.

How difficult is Debach’s conjecture], [Lin Shen].

Among them, "How difficult is it to prove Goldbach's conjecture" ranks directly at the top of the list, with a popularity value of more than 10 million.

After all, most people don't have a specific concept of Goldbach's conjecture, they only know that it is a world-class problem, and through this hot search, they finally understand the status of this problem in the world of mathematics.

This made them feel a sincere admiration for Lin Xiao. He was indeed a super academic, and he could easily do things that others could not do.

Of course, for Lin Xiao, he does not have time to pay attention to things on the Internet.

After finishing his report and returning to the backstage, Lin Xiao received countless phone calls.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Xiao, I am a reporter from Shangjing Daily. Can I spare a little of your time to interview you?"

"Sorry, I don't have time now."

"Hello, Mr. Lin Xiao, I am a reporter from Observation Network. May I ask..."

"Sorry, it's inconvenient."

"Hello……"

Lin Xiao was helpless, why were they all reporters?

"Mr. Lin Xiao..."

"Mr. Lin Xiao..."

"Son, have you proved successful?"

"Sorry, I don't have time..."

Lin Xiao, who had just subconsciously spoken, suddenly came to his senses. This voice seemed to be that of his father?

He looked at the phone number and saw that it was really his father.

"Hey, Dad, it's you. I thought it was some reporter."
