On December 18.

The auditorium of the old campus of Jinling university welcomes a group of special guests. These people have different skin colors. They are in their twenties and in their seventies and eighties.

There are so many foreign friends gathering in the old campus, which is not likely to be visited several times by the school's people. It's really unusual, so it has attracted the attention of countless students.

In order to maintain order and ensure the safety of the speakers and participants, the authorities of Jinling City almost mobilized police forces in half of the city, even sent armed police officers and soldiers to escort the whole report.

For a scholar, it is quite rare to get such attention.

But if you think about it, it's not surprising.

More than two thousand international well-known scholars attended the conference, and even thousands did not get the admission qualification. They went to Jinling to attend the industry event at their own expense or with their tutors, just for the purpose of "this row, it can be called the Huashan sword of mathematics field!"

"Where is Huashan's sword, there are two protagonists in this conference, clearly fighting against the top of the Forbidden City..."

One is the youngest fields prize winner and the worthy king of young scholars. The other is one of the founders of modern algebraic geometry and the first person under the Pope of algebraic geometry.

In such a contrast, ye Gucheng and Ximen chuixue are really on their way.

Looking at the entrance of the crowded auditorium, the two young men, who had just half stepped into the mathematics field, were fascinated by the silence.

Thousands of words come into one sentence

The strong person of Fei prize is so horrible!

Just passing by the door, I heard two young Mengxin's conversation. Xu Chenyang, who came to this grand gathering from MIT, almost didn't laugh.

Fight the top of the Forbidden City?

This is an interesting statement.

At this time, he suddenly saw a familiar face not far away. When he was surprised, he said hello from afar and walked quickly.

"Brother Zhang! Ha ha, long time no see! "

Hearing the greeting, Zhang Shouwu, who was going to the auditorium, stopped. When he saw Xu Chenyang coming to him, his face suddenly showed surprise.

"Brother Xu? So coincidentally, you're here too? "

"It happened that two big men had to fight against the top of Jinling, so they had to come," Xu Chenyang joked, and continued, "what's more, Riemann conjecture has been standing on the building of analytic number theory for so many years, and even Mr. grotendick has hesitated before the difficulty. Now, it's said that academician Lu opened a gap in the fort of Riemann conjecture. I believe that Anyone who knows how terrible this problem is will not miss this grand meeting. "

As one of the best young scholars in China and even in the world, he naturally received the invitation from Jinling University. But then again, even if he didn't receive the invitation, he would mostly sign up for the conference at his own expense.

After all, the chance to witness history is only once in a lifetime.

It's a loss to miss any time.

Obviously, Zhang Shouwu was amused by the idea of fighting against the top of Jinling, and smiled: "ha ha, that's right. It's just that the situation seems a little grim. "

"Why, brother Zhang doesn't like academician Lu?" Xu Chenyang asked with a smile

"It's not a matter of looking down on it, it's just that falctins is not easy to deal with." With a sigh, Professor Zhang said slowly, "when I went to Princeton to study, the first thing I did was to ask him if he could give me a question. The old man said only one thing to me. "

Xu Chenyang: "what did he say?"

“…… I've done all the easy questions, and the rest are very difficult. For example, Riemann guessed, "squinting at the auditorium hall not far away, looking at the mathematicians from all over the world who have entered the auditorium one after another, and holding the thermos cup, Zhang Shouwu said with nostalgic voice," I haven't understood the German humor since I left Princeton for so many years. But one thing is certain. His understanding of Riemann's conjecture is probably the first in the world today... "

"If even he thought Professor Lu's proof was wrong, it would appear in the report meeting."

"Then I'm afraid he's ready for a lesson."

Professor Zhang's view is quite pessimistic.

In fact, before the report, not everyone in the domestic mathematics circle was optimistic about the success of the land boat. As he said, those who know Riemann's conjecture better than faltins may have brought the research results to the grave.

If faltins thinks that there is a problem in the proof of the land boat, and that there is a problem in the core part of the argument

So more than 80% of them can't be wrong.

However, after hearing Professor Zhang's words, Xu Chenyang just smiled gently and said in a chatty tone"I met Professor Lu at the Brazilian Congress of mathematicians and talked to him briefly. Although it's only about the NS equation and some problems in the field of partial differential equations, the impression he left to me is still fresh in my memory to this day. "

Zhang Shouwu frowned and asked curiously.

"What impression?"

"He's a miracle maker."

After a pause, Professor Xu Chenyang continued.

"No matter how ordinary the method is, he can dig out the clues that are ignored by everyone No matter how small the clue is. "

"I believe that he will do miracles again."

"And that's why I've traveled so far from the east coast of North America."

……

In the auditorium, people gathered.

If there are practitioners in the relevant fields standing here, they will be shocked.

Almost half of the big bulls in the field of mathematics sit here, and the research field covers almost all the research directions of each branch of mathematics.

As a joke, if someone drops a bomb, the whole mathematical world will have to go back at least half a century

Standing next to the platform, the boat in a suit took a deep breath, which gradually calmed down its heartbeat.

Although there has not been a report meeting for some time, this feeling of blood is not new to him.

It is as if there is an unknown power flowing in his blood vessels, which makes his spirit more concentrated and active than ever before.

He pinched his fist gently. Just as he was going to review what he had prepared before, an old man in a black high collar windbreaker came to him.

Dry fingers on crutches, as if a gust of wind can blow out the candle fire, the old man shuddered to stop beside the steps, motionless staring at the boat.

After a long time, the ravine face, suddenly split a rare smile without irony or ridicule, said.

"Are you ready?"

Knowing what he was waiting for, Lu Zhou nodded his head.

"Ready."

Professor fortings grinned.

However, the eagle like eyes are twinkling with sharp edge, there is no smile in them.

"I hope you're really ready. I won't be lenient when it comes to the future of mathematics."

"Please do this," Lu said calmly with a gesture of invitation. "It's up to you to defend the preciseness of the mathematical world."

"Oh."

He reached out and pressed the brim of his hat. The old man dropped a word and turned around.

"Even if you don't say it, I'll do it."
