After returning to the dormitory, Xu Chuan took a shower and took out the original copy of Gauss's "Research on Arithmetic" borrowed from the library from his school bag.
He had read this book many times before, but this was his first time, so he was still quite interested.
The only troublesome point is that it is originally written in Latin, which seems a bit difficult. He is not as familiar with Latin as Chinese and English, and occasionally has to look up the dictionary.
However, what he didn't know was that while he was reading, his name was expanding from the world of mathematics to the world of journalism, and then gradually to the Internet.
Less than three days after the latest issue of "New Advances in Mathematics" came out, it has caused quite a stir in the domestic mathematics community.
A seventeen-year-old boy, a world-class mathematical conjecture, no one would associate these two words together.
But the reality is more sci-fi. It was such a young boy who was not yet a minor, but he proved the latter and caused a sensation.
Countless media recorded this incident and compiled it into news and posted it online.
The first to speak out on the Internet were naturally the major official media.
The "Youth Daily" news quoted the praise of Sir William Timothy Gowers in "New Advances in Mathematics" - "This is a quite outstanding proof! But what makes me even more incredible is that this
The author is only seventeen years old!"
Of course, they are not losing their hair because of those weak Weyl-Berry conjecture proof formulas that are completely incomprehensible, but they are losing their hair over what kind of name can attract the attention of netizens to the greatest extent.
If it were simply a proof of a world-class conjecture, as long as it was not a very famous one like the Seven Millennium Problems or Goldbach's Conjecture, most ordinary media would not be so nervous and worried that they would not be able to grab the attention.
Xu Chuan took out his cell phone and saw a call from his mentor Chen Zhengping.
Countless media editors, self-media and marketing account editors are losing their hair for the new issue of news and headlines.
[@山川**, this is this big guy, but this big guy never seems to give out scarves. He has only two messages since registering, and they are both birthday wishes from the system.]
However, the identity of the certifier itself carries a very high degree of popularity.
At this time, the temperature in Jinling can drop to about four or five degrees at night. At this temperature, if the cold wind blows for an hour without warning, who will catch a cold if he doesn't?
He lay on the bed until 10:30 in the morning. After finally regaining some energy, Xu Chuan got up, got dressed and prepared to go to the infirmary to prescribe medicine.
"The United States was shocked after watching this, and Ah San shed tears after watching it. A world-class mathematical problem was solved by a seventeen-year-old Chinese boy."
No matter which one of these three, they all have their own heat, and when they are gathered on the same person, the heat explodes.
"Renren Daily" did not hesitate to express its praise, not only praising the results of this scientific research work, but also praising Xu Chuan's courage to challenge the peak at the age of seventeen.
He seemed to have a cold, and it was a bit serious.
[The top scorer in the college entrance examination + IMO + IPHO gold medal winner, it’s not surprising, I would be surprised if he didn’t achieve results. 】
[By the way, does this big guy have a scarf account? I will follow you first to respect him. 】
Xu Chuan did not know anything about what happened on the Internet.
"Hey, teacher, what's the matter?" Xu Chuan answered the phone weakly.
[Trivia: The average IQ of pigs is between 70-85, while the average IQ of Chinese people is between 100-110, which means the difference is only about 30 points, but such geniuses, such as Terence Tao, have an IQ of 230, so, you
got it.】
As for the cause of the cold, it was probably due to the food he ordered last night when he was having dinner. Maybe the chef's hands were shaking and he added too much chili pepper or something. Anyway, it was a bit too spicy. He sweated a little and took off his coat.
Then by chance, I hit some inspiration and fell into thinking, and an hour passed like this.
[Nima, when I was seventeen years old and still in the first year of high school, I couldn’t even calculate the Pythagorean theorem or the sine function, yet people had already solved the world’s problems.]
【Strong young people make the country strong! Come on!】
At this moment, he was lying on the bed shivering. The thick quilt covering him had no effect. His whole body was exhausted and he only felt cold.
[By the way, I remember that this great master went to Nanjing University for physics, right? Why did he suddenly get good results in mathematics? This is a bit outrageous.]
【So, I might be worse than a pig.】
Just then, a call came on the phone.
On the Internet, many netizens were also shocked.
"The follow-up to the top scorer in the college entrance examination! A world-class mathematical conjecture was solved in less than a year!"
2015 college entrance examination perfect scorer + IMO + IPHO double gold medal winner + only 17 years old.
Soon, in less than two hours, this piece of news fell into the hands of the editors of major media websites and was processed into news and information.
[The gap between people is sometimes even wider than the gap between people and pigs.]
[Damn it, you solved a world-class conjecture at the age of seventeen. Are these aliens? 】
[I am from Nanjing University, and I heard from teachers at the school that this great master is a double major in mathematics and physics.]
[Double major? What does it mean? Can anyone explain it to me? 】
"The top scorer in the college entrance examination + IMO, IPHO double gold medal winner made huge achievements in less than a year after rejecting Mizuki P University!"
"Shocked! A problem that cannot be solved by mathematicians all over the world has been solved by a seventeen-year-old boy!"
The proof of a weak Weyl-Berry conjecture is far from enough, even though it is a world-class conjecture.
The news releases of these heavyweight media did not attract much attention at first, but the bosses above expressed their opinions, and the juniors below naturally could not lag behind.
[In less than a year, a world-class conjecture can be solved. 】
Compared with the reserve and careful wording of traditional official media, the news headlines of local media and marketing accounts are much more exaggerated.
These days, UC shock department is still very popular and eye-catching. Various self-media and marketing accounts on the Internet boasted about it, which directly put Xu Chuan on the hot search, and directly climbed to the top of the hot search on major platforms.
Although he has been exercising for more than a year in the past year and his physical fitness is much stronger than before, it is already late November of the lunar calendar.
So after letting the bullets fly for a while, the entire network was quickly detonated.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping immediately noticed something was wrong in his voice and asked.
"Um, I seem to have a cold." Xu Chuan blocked his nose and made a dull sound.
Chen Zhengping was a little speechless. He glanced around the office at the leaders who had come from the city. He just told this kid last night not to go out for a run. There would be an award ceremony in the next two days, and there would also be leaders from the city coming.
.
The result was good, he caught a cold the next day just after giving the explanation, which sounded quite serious.
