Pang Xuelin shook his head helplessly.

Until now, he has been watching Tomoko's every move, trying to find a trace of artificial intelligence from her.

But I never found out that she is different from ordinary people.

Even from her body, Pang Xuelin faintly felt the existence of personality and personality.

Is the technology of the three-body civilization really strong enough to create such a powerful and powerful artificial intelligence?

Or is it that Tomoko is simply a strong artificial intelligence created by the system, or even a self-conscious life?

Pang Xuelin didn't know.

But he faintly felt that after the future Tomoko returned to himself, he might bring some different colors to his life.

Uh ...

Twenty days later, accompanied by Tao Zhexuan, Pang Xuelin went to San Antonio, Texas to participate in the award ceremony of the American Mathematical Society's Col Algebra Award.

At this awards ceremony, many top scholars from the mathematics community came.

Such as Pierre Deligne, Peter Sanak, Manuel Barwaga, Vietnamese mathematician Wu Baozhu, Chinese mathematician Zhang Yitang and so on.

The bonus is not much, only 20,000 US dollars, but it can also be regarded as Pang Xuelin's another heavyweight award after the Millennium Awards and Double Awards.

上 At the dinner after the award ceremony, Pang Xuelin became the focus of the dinner.

After coping with the congratulations of many scholars, when Pang Xuelin turned around, he saw a slightly fat Chinese scholar who was looking at himself with a glass of champagne.

Zhang Lai was Zhang Yitang.

In the Chinese mathematics world, Zhang Yitang should be regarded as a latecomer and legendary mathematician.

Zhang Yitang was born in 1955. He studied at Peking University in Mathematics 78 in his early years. He was one of the best students at the time.

In 1985, Zhang Yitang graduated from the Mathematics Department of Peking University and went to Purdue University to study for a doctorate.

It's a pity that Zhang Yitang fell into the blood mold for eight lives and met Mo Zongjian, a doctoral supervisor who almost ruined his life.

Zhang Yitang's doctoral dissertation that year announced the proof of Jacobi's conjecture.

Ji Jacobi's conjecture was also a time-consuming problem in the mathematical world, and Zhang Yitang was able to handle it at a young age, which caused a great sensation at the time.

Many media have already reported that the mathematical skills in the dissertation are very high.

It is a pity that the part of Zhang Yitang's own proof is impeccable. The lemma he quoted from his tutor was pointed out by many mathematicians as wrong.

But his mentor just didn't admit it.

This is already amazing in the mathematical world.

What's more terrible is that as a mentor, Mo Zongjian also slandered Zhang Yitang's personality because of this matter, and did not even want Zhang Yitang to graduate.

A Ph.D. from Purdue University can graduate in three years and cannot graduate in more than seven years.

Zhang Yitang was dragged to the seventh year. Seeing that he couldn't finish his career, Zhang Yitang was going to be ruined.

In the end, Purdue University Fang really couldn't stand it anymore, and organized other mathematics professors to read Zhang Yitang's thesis. Everyone agreed that although the paper was wrong (in fact, it was Mo's pot, and Zhang Yitang couldn't be blamed at all), the level was very high enough. Only after graduation did Zhang Yitang graduate from the forced intervention.

Even so, Mo Zongjian didn't miss Zhang Yitang. Not only did he not give a recommendation letter (there is no recommendation letter from his own tutor abroad, which often means that the student's conduct is bad or there are major academic problems). This guy even used him Zhang Yitang's influence in the academic world made Zhang Yitang unable to find an academic job.

At the most disappointing time, Zhang Yitang could only go to a restaurant to do odd jobs to survive, so that more than fifty had not yet started a family and had been alone, without a house, car or stable income.

Until then, one of his Peking University brothers who worked at Intel had a very rare mathematical problem in computer algorithms and found him. He spent three weeks in his spare time to easily get it, so he obtained a high-level patent. Update fastest computer :: /

I therefore recommended him to the University of New Hampshire as the lowest-level lecturer, so as to avoid the embarrassment of continuing to make a living.

核心 The core of the American academic community is the tenure system, which is divided into three levels of assistant professor, associate professor and professor. These professorships are scholars in the traditional sense, performing both teaching activities and scientific research.

Once acquired tenure, these professors can do any research they want, even if there is no funding, no progress in research, or even no more research, and the school cannot fire them without justification.

The lecturer is only a temporary faculty position, with heavy teaching tasks and no scientific research support.

In this case, Zhang Yitang spent fourteen years as a lecturer at the University of New Hampshire.

到 Until 2013, Zhang Yitang finally became a blockbuster. He published a proof of a weakened version of the twin prime conjecture in the Annual of Mathematics, proving that there are infinite pairs of primes, the difference is less than 70 million.

Although 70 million is a large number, if the result is true, it is the first time that someone has formally proven that there are infinitely many sets of prime pairs with a spacing smaller than a fixed value.

This year, Zhang Yitang was 58 years old.

In the world of mathematics, being able to make such a world-renowned mathematical achievement at this age, I dare not say that it is a no-comer, but it is also a feat that no ancient people have before.

If it wasn't for Mo Zongjian, with Zhang Yitang's talent, it is entirely possible to become a top generation math master.

"Hello Professor Zhang!"

Xun Pang Xuelin took the initiative to raise a glass and walked towards Zhang Yitang.

Zhang Yitang also toasted and said, "Congratulations, Professor Pang!"

"Thank you!"

Pang Xuelin laughed.

Zhang Yitang said: "Professor Pang, are you free after dinner? I have a few questions about Ponzi geometry. I want to ask you!"

Xi Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "Of course, no problem. After we return to the hotel ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I'll go to the room to find you." ::

Zhang Yitang nodded and told Pang Xuelin his room number.

Then, the two talked for a while, and Zhang Yitang chose to leave.

At this point, Deligne came over again with the glass.

教授 "Professor Pang, you can't shirk this time. It's hard to come to the United States and come to Princeton for a lecture."

Deline smiled.

Xi Pang Xuelin could not help but have a headache.

He has invited him to Princeton for lectures many times. Pang Xuelin has been evaded several times on the grounds of too much domestic affairs.

来 This time he came to the United States, he has promised several universities to make reports, and it would be inappropriate for him to miss Princeton.

Only now, Qi Xin is studying in Princeton, Pang Xuelin went to Princeton, it was too deliberate not to go to her.

I hesitated for a moment, Pang Xuelin nodded and agreed.

Even if you meet Qi Xin then, it ’s no big deal to meet up with an old friend.

Pang Xuelin smiled: "Professor Deligne, let's do it, but I have already agreed to the invitations of several other universities. If I go to Princeton, I will wait at least until the end of October.

Ladlinier laughed: "It's okay, we welcome you at any time."
