Chapter 480 Fulfilling the Promise
483 chapter

Early September.

It has been more than a year since Cheng Nuo returned to China.

For more than a year, Cheng Nuo did not attend any international conferences or activities except to receive the Ramanu Gold Award.

What's more, to the surprise of international mathematicians, Cheng Nuo didn't even publish a paper for a whole year.

Apart from uploading a completely incomprehensible article on arxiv, Cheng Nuo has not published any research results.

This was completely inconsistent with Cheng Nuo's style.

Once, Cheng Nuoke published four papers in a row, including four major achievements, within one year.

Each one is at the level of top papers.

It stands to reason that with Cheng Nuo's academic level, it is impossible for him to not produce any results in a year.

This is very unscientific.

unless……

Many people suddenly thought of a gossip that was circulated internationally a year ago.

Around this time last year, someone spread the news that Cheng Nuo was overcoming the BSD conjecture, and he said it with certainty.

At that time, many people took the news seriously.

But as time went by, many people took this gossip as a rumor.

How to say, Cheng Nuo has a bright future. After more than ten years of accumulation, it is basically not a big problem to become a top expert in the international mathematics field. How could he be irrational enough to play the idea of ​​BSD conjecture.

At that time, they still laughed at the person who spread the inaccurate news for a long time.

But now it seems that this news is not so implausible.

Cheng Nuo did not publish any articles within a year, which is the best proof.

Apart from falling into the big trap of BSD speculation, they never imagined that a young man as energetic as Cheng Nuo would lie dormant for a whole year without any movement.

So international mathematicians who are familiar with some professors at Tsinghua University called to ask for news.

The result obtained is the same as everyone's guess.

Cheng Nuo really fell into the trap of BSD speculation!
And according to the professors at Tsinghua University, Cheng Nuo has fallen into a state of near madness, and has no tendency to climb out of this big hole.

…………

Tsinghua Institute of Mathematics.

Dean Ding went straight to the deputy director's office where Cheng Nuo was with his hands behind his back.

Dean Ding came here this time not just for ordinary greetings, but with a strong purpose.

A year ago, Cheng Nuo had made an agreement with Dean Ding.

Dean Ding can allow Cheng Nuo to overcome the BSD conjecture, but if Cheng Nuo doesn't make any breakthrough after a year, then Cheng Nuo must stop the research on the BSD conjecture!
Dean Ding would never allow Cheng Nuo, an extremely outstanding mathematical talent, to waste his time on useless work.

One year was the longest period Academician Ding gave Cheng Nuo.

Today, Dean Ding wanted Cheng Nuo to fulfill his original promise.

dong dong dong~~
"Come in!" Cheng Nuo's voice came from inside.

Dean Ding walked in with a blank expression.

Seeing clearly that the person who came in was Dean Ding, Cheng Nuo stood up to greet him enthusiastically, and diligently poured a cup of tea for Dean Ding.

"Dean, please drink tea."

Dean Ding came to sit down opposite Cheng Nuo. He was not in a hurry to drink tea, but asked with scrutiny in his eyes, "Do you remember the agreement you made with me a year ago?"

"Agreement, what agreement?" Cheng Nuo was confused.

Academician Ding reminded with a helpless face, "When you stubbornly wanted to study the BSD conjecture, I remember you promised me that if you didn't make a major breakthrough within a year, then stop your project and concentrate on it. Drill in the field of geometry."

"You kid, you won't lie and refuse to admit your fault, will you?"

"No way, no way." Cheng Nuo smiled wryly and waved his hands again and again.

After Dean Ding's reminder, Cheng Nuo remembered that this was indeed the case.

It's just that Cheng Nuo didn't think that he couldn't complete the task at the time, so he didn't take it to heart at all, so that he gradually forgot about it as time went by.

Cheng Nuo said, "What I said must be counted."

"Since it counts, then you should stop your project as soon as possible. I heard from other professors in the college that you and Zhang Wei have been staying up all night for this project in the past few months. It's not worth it!" Ding Yuan Chang said slowly, "Stop this project, and I'll give you another month's leave to take a good rest."

"Uh..." Cheng Nuo said weakly, "Dean, I wish I hadn't told you to stop this project."

Dean Ding glared at Cheng Nuo, "Could it be that you and Zhang Wei really made a major breakthrough."

"To be precise, it's not a major breakthrough." Cheng Nuo thought about it for a while and said rigorously.

When Academician Ding was about to say, "You still want to deny it, kid," Cheng Nuo slowly continued, "...Because, Senior Brother Zhang Wei and I have almost successfully proved the BSD conjecture."

"You boy... well, what did you just say?" Academician Ding suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Cheng Nuo repeated in a helpless tone, "Brother Zhang Wei and I have entered the final stage of proving the BSD conjecture. It will take about three or four months to complete it."

Dean Ding: "??!"

"You said, the two of you have almost proved the BSD conjecture?"

"Yes, that's right!"

"Say, are you kidding me?"

"Dean, how dare I. What's more, I have nothing to do to tease you."

Dean Ding frowned a few times, met Cheng Nuo's sincere eyes, and said after a moment of pondering, "Give me a copy of your proof process, and I'll go back and test the authenticity of your words."

"Dean, are you sure you can understand our proof process?"

"Fuck off, I'm not as miserable as you think." Academician Ding scolded with a smile, "When I was judged as an academician, you were still babbling in primary school!"

"Okay, I'll print a copy for you right away." Cheng Nuo nodded, told the computer about the derivation process of the first two pieces of the puzzle, printed it out, and handed it to Cheng Nuo.

…………

Since Dean Ding went back that time, Cheng Nuo didn't know the reason, and he never looked for him for a long time.

Until, half a month later...

When Cheng Nuo saw Dean Ding with a pair of panda eyes and a tired expression, he was instantly taken aback.

"Dean, haven't you had a good rest these days?" Cheng Nuo asked concerned.

Dean Ding waved his hand, obviously not interested in talking about this topic with Cheng Nuo.

Sitting opposite, Dean Ding stared at Cheng Nuo with gleam in his eyes, without saying a word.

Cheng Nuo's back was a little hairy, and he smiled sarcastically and said, "Is there any order for the dean?"

"I only now feel that inviting you back from abroad was the most correct decision of our school." Dean Ding suddenly said something irrelevant, which made Cheng Nuo a little confused.

"The agreement made a year ago, you just treat it as if it never happened. At the same time, you and Zhang Wei don't have to do the daily work in the academy."

"Now, you only need to do one thing... prove the BSD conjecture!"
