Now, on behalf of the Education Committee, I will send a check of RMB 50,000 to our young genius. Li Mo took the check and held it above his head, with flashing lights on the side.

Today is a commendation meeting. Next, Li Mo will give a speech. Principal Jiao handed the microphone to Li Mo as he spoke.

Li Mo, who had been in a daze all this time, came to his senses and wanted to deliver his acceptance speech? He was not prepared.

If you want to become a well-known scientist, you must keep your own heart in the worldly fame and fortune, and be yourself. The words echoed in the gray mist.

Li Mo took the microphone, and the audience was silent.

Hi everyone, I'm Li Mo, a high school student. I was fortunate enough to prove the Collatz conjecture during my studies. That's all I want to say. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, the school leaders, and Teacher Wang. The one I want to thank is myself. Thank you everyone. Li Mo put down the microphone and took a deep breath.

There was warm applause and laughter from the rostrum.

Wait a minute, please accept an interview with the Mathematics Monthly. After the interview, there will be an interview with the city's TV station and newspaper. Principal Jiao Xuefeng took the initiative to explain.

Li Mo looked at the check on the rostrum and nodded.

Li Mo stepped into the small meeting room, and saw the reporter in riding clothes drinking a cup of instant coffee, I'm used to it, I'm used to it. The reporter was a little embarrassed.

Hello, let me introduce you formally. I'm Wei Xiaonian, a reporter from Mathematics Monthly. This is my press card. Li Mo waved his hand before he took it out.

Then let's officially start the interview now. Wei Xiaonian was still very professional,

Excuse me, you are just a high school student now, only 17 years old, right?

Yes, I'm a student in Class 2 and 3 of high school. To be precise, I'm 17 years, 3 months and 2 days old. Li Mo is very sensitive to numbers now.

Is anyone in your family engaged in the field of mathematics? Maybe you have been good at mathematics since childhood. Wei Xiaonian wrote down in his notebook while asking questions.

My father is a worker, and my mother is a laid-off female worker. To be precise, my math scores were not good before freshman year of high school. Li Mo continued without waiting for the reporter in front of him to speak.

During the summer vacation of the first year of high school, I came across a collection of world math problems at home. I found it very interesting, so I tried to solve the above problems.

So it's solved? Wei Xiaonian asked with wide eyes in surprise.

Of course not. Because of my poor foundation in mathematics, I read all the previous mathematics textbooks, and then proved it very hard. Li Mo answered truthfully.

The world of geniuses is hard to understand. Wei Xiaonian was speechless. The high school student in front of him is really a genius, but mathematics is a subject that pays attention to inspiration.

Mathematics master Euler finished reading Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy at the age of 9, and entered university at the age of 13. At the age of 19, he invented the symbol of pi, the symbol of function f(x), and the symbols of trigonometry sin, cos, and tg.

Another example is the Indian genius Ramanujan, who taught himself advanced mathematics and used intuition to guide mathematical formulas. He entered Cambridge University in 1914 and studied mathematics with mathematician Hardy. The years have yielded fruitful results. In 1918, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society. He died of illness in 1920 at the age of 33.

There is also the prince of mathematics - Gauss, who discovered the prime number distribution theorem and the least square method at the age of 18.

Seeing that the person in front of him is really a young mathematics genius, Wei Xiaonian remembered that he graduated from the mathematics department, but now he can only read fantasy novels in magazines.

Wei Xiaonian left after the interview, and he was in a hurry to return to the magazine's social article.

The conference room was full of local journalists, who were very interested in this genius who solved the world's problems.

Excuse me, do you have a girlfriend? A female reporter posing with interest asked.

Sorry, I won't answer questions about personal privacy. Li Mo said with a straight face, although he has not accepted interviews with reporters. But he knew journalists were good at misleading readers.

If he answered that he had a girlfriend, the reporter would write: Shocked, middle school students nowadays are so precocious.

If he replied that he has no girlfriend, the reporter might write: Shocked, the boy genius has abnormal sexual orientation.

At this time, Principal Jiao saw Li Mo's embarrassment, and faced the reporters who were chattering, he said: Friends from the press, please ask questions in order, and the questions you ask cannot involve personal privacy.

Only then did Li Mo be rescued. Even so, he had to repeat his problem-solving process countless times. He held the big check above his head again and again, accepting photos.

Among them, the female reporter from the TV station asked Li Mo a question, What do you want to do now?

Li Mo replied without hesitation: I want to go back to study. Then, he pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out.

Maybe this is a genius. A female reporter with bright red lips and stylish clothes said looking at Li Mo's back.

It's not easy for journalists and friends to come to our Mengcheng No. 1 High School. As the host, I will prepare some meals. I hope all journalists will appreciate it. Principal Jiao said to smooth things over when he saw Li Mo leaving straight away.

Too tired, too tired, I really want to study and take a break now. Li Mo felt that he was really tired, and he had already lifted the checkboard no less than five times.

Do we have to face such a situation in the future, no, definitely not. He said secretly in his heart.

As soon as Li Mo arrived at the door of the classroom, he heard a burst of warm applause from the classroom.

The Great God is back, everyone stand up and pay homage to the Great God. The booing class leader shouted, the whole class actually stood up, and the physics teacher on the podium also smiled and let them mess around.

Welcome the Great God with papa papa.

Welcome the Great God with papa papa.

Li Mo felt very embarrassed, so he could only go up to the podium and said to the applauding students: You don't need to be so enthusiastic, in fact, I am just an ordinary high school student. After speaking, he quickly returned to his seat.

Okay, okay. Everyone has seen that true geniuses are so humble, and now the class begins. The physics teacher next to the podium had to stand up to maintain order.

You're famous, Brother Mo! I didn't expect you to be so good. If you have time to teach me, I don't think your grades are so good. Why did you suddenly get a David star? Tong Xin said with a thumbs up.

I didn't expect that I would be at the same table as Genius, please sign me. He handed over a pen and paper while speaking.

I can't go back to the past again. Li Mo looked at the scene in front of him and thought, he had already memorized what the teacher said on the podium, so he should continue to use the borrowed textbooks.

PS: I recommend this new book, I Carry Alien Civilization With Me.
