From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

"What is this thing?"

The system explained: "[A flash of inspiration] can provide a key inspiration when the host solves the problem."

"Key inspiration?"

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This reward is very good, and it can directly provide him with an inspiration, which will obviously be of great help to him in solving other problems in the future.

Counting this thing, it may be better than the [Sage Time] he got back then.

After all, the sage's time still needs his own thinking, but this thing can directly provide himself with inspiration.

"That's right, it's been a lot of money."

He laughed, and it was just a proof of Lin's conjecture, it was nothing.

The most critical thing is the atomic structure topology problem that he originally wanted to solve.

Now there is Lin's conjecture... Well, it should be called Lin's theorem now. Now that there is Lin's theorem, the problem of materials science that he originally wanted to solve will also have a chance to be solved!

After all, he had tested it with the system, and it would cost 85 truth points just to solve that problem!

God knows how many rewards the system can bring him after solving this problem!

"Well... But before solving this problem, I'd better sort out the proof of Lin's conjecture and send it out sometime. Rong'er's parents asked me to tell them about it."

Suddenly Lin Xiao remembered this matter.

It's just to inform them, let alone Zheng Rong'er's parents, if the couple can return to Shangjing to work, Zheng Rong'er will be very happy.

As for whether his Lin's conjecture can achieve such a function, he has never doubted that the two terms "kagome superconductor" and "anisotropic s-wave pairing" that Xu Yan said to Zheng Cheng back then, Lin Xiao immediately heard them. Know what they are studying.

There are many hot issues in condensed matter, and the first one is high-temperature superconducting materials. Condensed matter is dedicated to explaining the principle of high-temperature superconductivity, and then providing help for the production of high-temperature superconducting materials. Of course, the principle of high-temperature superconductivity , so far no one understands it, so in the current research, it is generally devoted to explaining the principle with mathematical physics plus experimental methods.

So quantum topology plays a role in it.

And Lin's theorem has every chance to play a role in it.

"However, can the research on high-temperature superconductivity also use my theorem?"

Lin Xiao thought about it, then stopped thinking about it, and took out his mobile phone, but then remembered that he didn't have the phone number of Zheng Ronger's parents, and he forgot to exchange it at the beginning.

Of course, this is not a problem, he called Zheng Rong'er directly.

"Hey, brother Lin Xiao, what's the matter?"

The phone was connected, and Zheng Rong'er's crisp voice came from the opposite side.

However, what puzzled Lin Xiao was that Zheng Ronger's voice today had more indescribable emotions than before?

Of course, he didn't think too much, and said with a smile: "Rong'er, why haven't you come to my brother's house for so long?"

"Ah... I, I'm going on a trip with my parents!"

"Travel? I remember that your mathematics school is going to take an exam?"

"Oh, I'll be back tomorrow, and the exam starts the day after tomorrow."

"That's it, okay." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Actually, brother has something to do with your parents. Are your parents by your side?"

"Oh, I'm going to find them! You wait."

After a while, Zheng Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Professor Lin, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, Lin's conjecture has been proved by me, and now it has become Lin's theorem. In the near future, I will first post it on arxiv and send it to journals at the same time. Probably the March issue of "Annual of Mathematics" will publish my paper. "

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Zheng Cheng immediately felt that sincere confidence.

Good guy, it's January now, ""Annual of Mathematics" will publish my paper in March", "Annual of Mathematics" is the top journal in the world, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, it has become a journal that can be published as soon as you want.

Of course, compared to these things, he was more surprised by what Lin Xiao said. Lin's conjecture was proved.

Ten days ago, Lin Xiao also said that he was trying to prove it, but after ten days, he said that it was proved?

Are you proving Chinese cabbage?

But recalling Lin Xiao's past achievements, Zheng Cheng couldn't help being surprised and said, "Professor Lin, is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I also have to thank you for the magazine you recommended to me at the beginning. If it wasn't for the inspiration in this magazine, otherwise, I probably wouldn't be able to do it so quickly. prove it?"

Hearing what Lin Xiao said, Zheng Cheng was still amazed: "There is nothing to be thankful for. People who read that magazine may not be able to prove Lin's conjecture. It is Professor Lin, you are amazing, say Not sure, when the time comes, Hodge guesses that you will be able to prove it."

"Hehe, Hodge's conjecture is still relatively difficult. Although Hodge's conjecture and Lin's conjecture are related, they are not equivalent. Let's talk about it later." Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Okay, these are not More to say, anyway, after a week, I will post the paper on arxiv, Mr. Zheng, you should prepare it then."

"Okay, thank you Professor Lin." Zheng Cheng thanked again and again.

Then, the phone hung up.

Zheng Cheng couldn't help feeling emotional.

Lin's conjecture, is it really proven?

"Dad, my phone!"

At this time, Zheng Rong'er next to her stretched out her hand, wanting to get her mobile phone back.

"You're still afraid that I'll snatch your phone. Is there some secret?" Seeing his daughter like this, Zheng Cheng couldn't help laughing, and returned Zheng Ronger's phone to her.

"certainly not!"

Zheng Rong'er snorted and retorted, and then asked: "What is Brother Lin Xiao doing calling?"

Zheng Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Lin Xiao has proved Lin's conjecture, and your mother and I will have a chance to return to Beijing in the future."

"Oh!" Zheng Rong'er nodded, then struggled for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, why do you always seem to be very respectful when you talk to brother Lin Xiao?"

Zheng Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "There's nothing to say about this, because you, Brother Lin Xiao, are a respectable person, and Dad is not like you, who has such a good relationship with you, Brother Lin Xiao."

Thinking of this, Zheng Cheng looked at his daughter's appearance, she was born fair and clean, as beautiful as her mother when she was young, and there must be many boys who usually like it.

Lin Xiao is only three years older than her, isn't that just right?

If this can be a couple, it seems to be a blessing for his family?

He shook his head quickly, wondering what he, a father, was thinking.

But Zheng Rong'er didn't expect what her father was thinking. After hearing Zheng Cheng's answer, she asked again: "Is it because Brother Lin Xiao is so good?"

Zheng Cheng said with a smile: "It's one thing to be great, and the most important thing is that you, brother Lin Xiao, are worthy of respect."

Then he told his daughter what Lin Xiao had done.

For example, the eight-point structure is authorized to domestic servo motor manufacturers for free, so as to support domestic servo motor manufacturers to seize foreign markets. In addition, Lin Xiao is committed to solving the plight of Huaguo Semiconductor.

A person is worthy of respect, obviously not because of his strength and status. Strength and status not only cannot determine the upper limit of the degree of respect, but also cannot determine the lower limit. They are just a coefficient. In the end, it still depends on the person.

Just like the boss surnamed Liu of a certain Xiang, and the founder surnamed Ren of a certain Wei, the former is shouted and beaten by everyone on the Internet, but the latter is considered a real entrepreneur.

Zheng Cheng smiled and said: "So, as long as you Lin Xiaoge can succeed, we will be able to build our own lithography machine in the future. Do you think he is worthy of respect?"

Zheng Rong'er nodded and said, "It's worth it."

"That's right." Zheng Cheng nodded, then rubbed Zheng Rong'er's head, and said, "Okay, go and play by yourself, I'm going to talk to your mother about it."

"Ok!"

Zheng Rong'er nodded, and then left here, but she was thinking in her heart, so Lin Xiaoge is already such an important person to their country?

No wonder, almost every time she went to find Lin Xiao, she would see him studying seriously.

"I also want to continue to study hard!"

After making a small decision in her heart, she returned to her room and began to study.

……

Lin Xiao's house.

Putting down the phone, thinking of what Zheng Cheng said just now, Lin Xiao frowned: "Hodge's guess?"

This is an interesting question, but it shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Then, he began to sort out the papers on Lin's conjecture.

until five days later.

On arxiv, mathematicians and physicists who have been following Lin Xiao all received a notification.

Lin Xiao published a paper titled: "All Functions Are Layered"

Suddenly, all the mathematicians were boiling.

Are all functions layered?

this is not……

Lin's guess?

The conjecture that Lin Xiao put forward at the beginning, has he now proved this conjecture?

Immediately, everyone who received the message downloaded the paper immediately.

Until the end, all these mathematicians exclaimed: "Incredible!"

After that, the mathematicians were pleasantly surprised, because Lin Xiao was finally willing to return to their embrace of mathematics!

Chapter 268 The Mathematics World Has Been Stirred Again

Pierre Deligne's office at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

At this time, Deligne was leaning on his chair, looking at a recently published mathematics paper.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Deligne said.

Then the door opened and Enrique Pompieri entered.

Seeing this old friend come in, Deligne stood up with a smile and asked, "Enrique, why come to me when you have time?"

Seeing Deligne like this, Pompieri smiled and said, "You don't know?"

Deligne was taken aback: "Know what?"

"It seems that you really don't know, so it's a coincidence that I came here."

Pompieri laughed, and then said, "Do you still remember the interview you did after the last International Congress of Mathematicians?"

"After the International Congress of Mathematicians? Interviews?" Deligne was taken aback. This happened three years ago. For an elderly man like him, it is still difficult to recall, and he has received quite a lot of interviews. The world's top mathematicians like him basically receive invitations for interviews or lectures every day, so he doesn't remember very clearly about those interviews.

Of course, Deligne still had an impression of the interview after the last International Congress of Mathematicians. After all, that interview was about Lin Xiao.

That meeting, which brought together many top mathematics masters in the world, and many well-known figures in the mathematics field, received an invitation from the International Mathematical Union to report at the meeting, and the world's smartest game was played there.

However, no matter what, among the hundreds of reports, only the report of that young man is still fresh in people's memory. The determination of the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers and the proposal of Lin's conjecture made that report enough to be listed as a representative of the International Congress of Mathematicians. One of the most important reports in history.

After all, not many mathematicians go to the International Congress of Mathematicians to report such mathematical breakthroughs. Most of them report on their past research, or discuss future hot spots.

For example, when Deligne’s mentor, Grothendieck, was invited to give a one-hour speech at the International Congress of Mathematicians, he predicted that he would make new developments in algebraic geometry, and finally rely on his foundational nature of modern algebraic geometry Work, and then established his name as the emperor of mathematics.

Of course, I remembered it when I remembered it, but why did Pompielli mention this matter?

So Deligne said, "Remember, is there a question?"

Pompieri laughed: "Do you remember what you said in that interview?"

"Just to talk about something related to Lin Xiao, his Lin's conjecture or something... Could it be that what you want to say has something to do with Lin Xiao?" Deligne quickly responded and asked.

Pompieri laughed and said, "Do you still remember when you talked about Lin's conjecture, how many years did you say before it could be proven?"

"More than 20 years, um... it should be 25 years." Deligne replied, and then he couldn't help but look at Pompieri, and asked with a surprised face: "Don't tell me, Lin's conjecture was taken Prove it!!"

Seeing Deligne's appearance, Pompieri suddenly laughed.

"Binggou! That's right!"

Deligne's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly from his seat, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"How did Lin's conjecture be proven so quickly?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Who proved it?"

Seeing Deligne like this, Pompieri laughed even louder, and stopped after a long while because he was almost out of breath.
