Chapter 177 Interview, cost recovery(1/2)

This report is over.

Just like Goldbach's conjecture, no one present raised any questions.

For such an important academic report, if you want to raise questions, it is often the most fatal flaw in this theory.

And the only ones qualified to ask questions are the top mathematicians sitting in the front row.

If they have no doubts about the proof process, then this academic report is considered complete.

As for other people who still do not understand the process because of their limited knowledge, their problems are not problems with this theory. They are their own problems, not Lin Xiao's problems.

After all, an academic report is not a classroom.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Lin Xiao left the stage and walked towards the mathematicians he was familiar with.

The first is Professor Laurent Laforgue, the 2002 Fields Medal winner.

"Professor Laforgue, we meet again."

"Haha, yes, you can bring me a surprise every time I meet you."

"It's my honor." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "By the way, how is your job at Warwick Company?"

Laforgue smiled and said: "It's very good, the salary is very good, and I can continue to engage in the research I like."

"That would be best."

Laforgue smiled and said: "It would be better if you could bring another surprise next time we meet again."

At this time, another professor came next to him and said to Lin Xiao with a smile: "Lin, you did a good job."

"Professor Werner."

Lin Xiao nodded towards Professor Wendelin Werner, the 2006 Fields Medal winner.

"Haha, if I weren't just a part-time professor at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, otherwise, I would have to compete with Professor Serre for your mentor." Professor Werner said with a smile.

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Although you are not my mentor, if I encounter problems in the future, I will not refuse when I ask for your advice."

"Haha, of course I won't refuse!" Werner laughed.

Next, another professor came over, this one was Cedric Villani, winner of the 10-year Fields Medal.

And it wasn't just him, there were also several French mathematicians who came over. They were all mathematicians sitting in a row. Many of them were Fields Medal winners. They also had one thing in common:

They all came from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, and they were all considered Lin Xiao's seniors.

At this moment, Lin Xiao finally felt what it meant to be a top university in the world of pure mathematics.

After all, there are 12 Fields Medal winners trained by the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, 4 more than the second-placed University of Cambridge.

"Lin Xiao!"

At this time, Lin Xiao heard someone calling him again. He turned around and saw Pompieri and a few people walking over.

His eyes lit up and he walked up with a smile: "Professor Pompieri, Professor Sarnac, Professor Deligne, you are here too."

Pompieri smiled and nodded: "Of course, for such an important feast, we must come over to join in the fun."

"I heard that you will go to Sweden to receive the Crafford Prize in May this year. Congratulations."

When Lin Xiao mentioned this, the smile on Pompieri's face became even brighter: "Haha, this is indeed a surprise for me."

The Crafford Prize winners are announced in mid-January each year, and the awards are awarded in April or May.

This award has a high status among various awards. Like the Nobel Prize, it is managed and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its purpose is to reward scientific fields that are omitted by the Nobel Prize.

Those who can win the Crafford Prize are generally those who have a very high reputation in related academic fields. The winners are all relatively old people, such as Pompieri, which also means great recognition of his past achievements.

As for the youngest winner, Tao Zhexuan, he received this award at the age of 38, which is quite unexpected among the people who are over 50 years old.

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "When the award ceremony is held, if I have the chance, I will definitely go and watch it."

"Okay, I will also go back to my hometown in Italy for a while recently, and then go to receive the award during the awards ceremony." Pompieri patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said, "I'm just looking forward to seeing you then.

it's your turn."

"OK."

Lin Xiao nodded.

At this time, Sanak next to him said: "By the way, Lin Xiao, why didn't you come to our Princeton University to study? We were all looking forward to it at the beginning."

When this question was raised, Pompieri and Deligne both looked at Lin Xiao.

"Uh... about this..." Lin Xiao scratched his head and said, "Because I have been to Paris before, so I have a good impression of this place, so I came here."

After hearing this answer, several professors from Princeton University expressed helplessness, "If I had known, I would have asked you to come to our Princeton University to have a look."

"Hey, you old guys, are you here to poach someone?"

At this moment, another old man came over, pointed at these top mathematicians from the United States, and said angrily.

This old man is none other than Jean-Pierre Serre.

When meeting this old man in mathematics, even Deligne has to respect him.

After all, Searle and his teacher Grothendieck were good friends, and some of Searle's results even played an important role in laying the foundation for modern algebraic geometry. It can be said that without Searle's original efforts, Grothendieck would have been

Whether Dick could lay the foundation for modern algebraic geometry remains unknown.

In addition, the Weil conjecture proved by Deligne was also the result of Professor Searle, and the two had collaborated on this.

"Professor Searle."

All three of them shouted.

Serge walked up to Lin Xiao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lin is my student now, so don't think too much about your little thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Deligne and the others couldn't help but look at each other, showing helplessness.

Although foreign countries don't pay much attention to seniority, Lin Xiao became a student of Professor Serre, and to a certain extent, he and Deligne were considered peers.

Next, after Lin Xiao chatted with these mathematicians for a while, the three CCTV reporters based in Paris suddenly came over.

"Lin Xiao!"

When she heard someone calling her name in her native language, Lin Xiao immediately turned around and saw three reporters, a smile appeared on her face: "Reporter Chen, Reporter Sun, and Reporter Zhang."

"Lin Xiao, I heard your report just now. What you said was really amazing!" Zhang Ning gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up. Lin Xiao is seven years younger than her and can give such a report.

Being an international reporter for CCTV is already a pretty good career in Paris, but compared with Lin Xiao, she has to be envious of it.

Lin Xiao looked surprised: "Huh? Do you understand?"

"Ah this..." Zhang Ning was stunned, she understood a hammer.

Chen Ming and Sun Xiang both laughed. Chen Ming said with a smile: "Zhang Ning probably didn't understand. She was playing with her phone in the back just now."

"Boss!" Zhang Ning patted Chen Ming angrily.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao smiled, and then asked: "By the way, do you have something wrong?"

Chen Ming smiled and said: "Just like last time, we need to interview you. Do you have the time?"

"Of course there is no problem."

Lin Xiao nodded. Of course he would not refuse the request of his compatriots. Moreover, it just so happened that friends at home could hear his voice again.

Having said that, it’s been a long time since it was a hot search topic in China.

After Lin Xiao agreed, Chen Ming thanked you and said, "Thank you then. What time do you think is suitable?"

"Now you can."

Anyway, there is nothing going on, and being interviewed is not a big problem.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, "It's no trouble."

At this time, Professor Serge saw that he seemed to have something to do, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Remember to come back early. Tonight, the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris has prepared a Lin Xiao Night for you. As the protagonist, you must come early."

Come on."

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I know."



Later, Lin Xiao and the three reporters found a suitable interview location and started the interview.

"Excuse me, how do you feel about the success of your proof?"

The first conventional question was asked first. Lin Xiao smiled slightly and replied: "Success is sometimes accidental, but sometimes it is inevitable. So if you ask me about my feelings, then I can only confidently say that this is just me.

This is just the fourth mathematical problem solved, and there will be more in the future.”

Such a confident answer made the three reporters' eyes light up.

Probably Lin Xiao is the only one in the world who can say such a thing, right?

Chen Ming nodded with a smile and asked his second question: "We noticed that you mentioned the Mona Lisa at the beginning and end of your report. Does it have any meaning?"

Lin Xiao smiled: "You must have seen the hot search some time ago, right? I am called the Kung Fu Master."
