"Only the last bit left..."

He rested his chin on the table with one hand, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

[Flash of Inspiration] has not been used yet because he has not yet grasped the last and most critical idea.

"Convert a shape into small pieces in integral form, and then subject them to topological transformation. Then how to describe its homeomorphism in a polynomial way?"

Lin Xiao scratched his head, and the thick feeling told him that his hair was still there, and still thick, but a little longer.

He took a deep breath, then stood up and twisted his body to relax his somewhat stiff body.

Then look at the time.

"It's already June 15th."

There is still half a month left before the report on June 30. Similarly, there is only less than a month left before the speech at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Shaking his head, it can't go on like this.

Now it seems that this car called Hodge's conjecture cannot be built by working behind closed doors.

"Let's go to school for a walk. It's been a long time since we've been there."

With this thought in his mind, he no longer hesitated. After staying in the room for so long, he was about to get moldy, so it was time to go out for a walk.

Afterwards, he left the house and called Shi Hao from the opposite door. Then Shi Hao drove him to Beijing University.

"Just find a parking lot and walk around the school."

Entering the Beijing University campus, Lin Xiao opened his mouth and said.

"Okay, Professor Lin." Shi Hao responded.

Soon they found a parking lot, Shi Hao parked the car, and the two of them got out of the car and started walking around the school.

Because it happened to rain in the afternoon, and it was already evening, the temperature was no longer so hot, and it was a good time to go out for a walk.

Lin Xiao, who looked like a slovenly uncle, was walking around the campus. Fortunately, he did not go to the first floor before being shouted at by the students, allowing him to relax a little.

In this way, they walked all the way to the Weiming Lake. Looking at the slightly wavy water, Lin Xiao was not thinking about any mathematical problems at this time, but just sighed at the beauty of the natural scenery.

Then, he curiously asked Shi Hao: "If you become my bodyguard, how long will you be there?"

Shi Hao replied: "Until I can no longer protect you."

"What happens when you can't protect me?"

"When my physical fitness declines, or I become disabled and lose my normal ability to move." Shi Hao's tone seemed to always be so confident.

Lin Xiao was helpless and said: "There is no deadline? Three or four years?"

"It depends on organizational decisions."

Lin Xiao shook his head and was about to speak when suddenly there was a burst of exclamation from behind.

"Holy shit! Awesome!"

"6666!"

Lin Xiao was stunned, and turned around to look, only to see a bunch of students watching a boy playing with a toy that everyone was familiar with. It looked like a colorful plastic spring, and its official name was Slinky.

And this boy played this thing very well, like an acrobat, which made many students around him look at him in surprise.

But compared to the surprised looks of these students, a bunch of mathematical formulas appeared in Lin Xiao's eyes.

Isn't this thing just a classic one-dimensional manifold topological body?

Seeing the colorful spring beating like a clever ghost in the student's hand, Lin Xiao's eyes gradually lit up, because he grasped the solution to Hodge's conjecture from this one-dimensional manifold.

The essential.

Hodge conjectured to study the algebraic representation of topological bodies in three dimensions, and now, he has found a similar answer in this one-dimensional manifold.

This is probably the magic of mathematics.

Looking at the boy, Lin Xiao wanted to thank him for the inspiration he brought to him, but at this time, he discovered that the boy was still a student he had taught before.

He couldn't help but walked up and shouted: "Wenmin, have you finished writing your thesis?"

The boy was startled. He thought he had met his mentor, but when he turned around, he saw a slovenly man walking towards him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not his mentor.

However, he stared at Lin Xiao for a while, and finally recognized this former teacher, and then was extremely surprised: "Damn, Professor Lin, what's wrong with you?"

At this time, the people around him also stared at Lin Xiao for a long time before they recognized him as Lin Xiao, and they were all surprised.

How did Professor Lin become like this?

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Where did you buy this toy? Is it sold near the school?"

When Wen Min saw Lin Xiao talking about the toy in her hand, she said, "Oh, this, I bought it online. I don't know about it near the school."

Then he quickly handed the thing to Lin Xiao and said with a smile: "If you want it, I will give this to you. If I get drawn to you during the defense, you have to let me go."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh, took the Slinky, played with it a few times, and then said: "You are bribing the teacher in public, this is not okay, I will keep this stolen goods first, you can write the paper well for me, no

If you know how, you can ask me. As for letting you go, don't even think about it."

The surrounding students all laughed, and Wenmin said in a longer voice: "Ah~"

Lin Xiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Goodbye, I told you if you don't understand, you can ask me. Do you understand the value of Professor Lin's personal guidance?"

Wen Min was taken aback, then suddenly smiled: "Yes! This is what you said! I remember it."

The students around him suddenly showed envious expressions.

If you give a toy, you can get personal guidance from Professor Lin. They also want such a good thing!

Lin Xiao smiled and then said: "Okay, that's it. Thank you for the toy. You can play with it slowly."

Then, he left the crowd of students and said to Shi Hao: "Let's go back!"

"yes!"

Although Lin Xiao didn't understand that Lin Xiao had only been out for less than an hour, and then took a toy from a young student's hand and planned to go back, Shi Hao always obeyed orders.

Afterwards, the two returned to the parking lot and then back to Yanbei Garden.

Returning directly to his room, Lin Xiao put Slinky on the table and played with it for a while. Mimi next to him was also curious about this moving thing, and finally took it over and started playing with it by herself.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile, and then let Mimi play by herself, while he picked up the pen again and wrote an equation describing Slinky on the scratch paper.

Recalling the process of Slinky's movement and the model of its rules, he smiled slightly.

"Hodge guesses, it's officially over."

Then, "Use [Flash of Inspiration]."

System: "[Flash of Inspiration] has been used."

The next moment, Lin Xiao grasped the idea and found the inspiration he needed.

Then, his pen wrote smart mathematical formulas on the paper.
Chapter completed!
