The Science Fiction World of Xueba

At the end of the report, Pang Xuelin had a working meal accompanied by Deligne, Peter Sarneck and others.

After dinner, accompanied by Qi Xin, Pang Xuelin returned to the hotel, organized the writing on the blackboard in the morning into a paper, and uploaded it to arxiv.

At this time, the news about his proof of Polignac's conjecture at the Princeton symposium had spread throughout the academic circle.

Although this time period was in the early morning of the country, some well-informed academic self-media also forwarded relevant news as soon as possible.

Shen Pang made a show again, and the Princeton report proved Polignac's conjecture on the spot!

The Polignac conjecture that has plagued the mathematics world for 170 years has been proved, and Pang Shen has once again demonstrated the strength of the number one person in the mathematics world!

Princeton welcomes the king with thunderous applause!

With another victory, Pang Shen will undoubtedly rank among the greatest mathematicians in history.

...

After Pang Xuelin officially published the new paper on arxiv, in less than an hour, major media around the world also forwarded the news.

People's Daily Online: On the morning of November 2 local time in the United States, the famous Chinese mathematician Professor Pang Xuelin proved the Polignac conjecture on the spot at the report meeting. At present, whether this proof is true is still under further verification.

The official website of the New York Times: Chinese geniuses once again demonstrated amazing talents, and the Princeton report proved world-class problems on the spot.

n: This morning, Professor Pang Xuelin, a well-known Chinese mathematician, proved the Polignac conjecture at the Princeton report, which caused a shock in the academic world!

The Times: Pang Xuelin captured the world's top mathematics research center, and Sir Deligne called Pang Xuelin the number one person in contemporary mathematics.

...

While the major media followed up and reported, Pang Xuelin's phone kept ringing.

The first person to call was Zhang Yitang.

Professor Pang, have you really proved the Polignac conjecture?

There was still a hint of disbelief in Zhang Yitang's tone.

He knew very well that Pang Xuelin officially started to study the twin prime number conjecture because of the conversation he had with himself a month ago.

He originally thought that even if Pang Xuelin could really solve the twin prime number conjecture, it would take at least two or three years. Who would have thought that Pang Xuelin would complete the agreement with himself in just one month.

Moreover, what he conquered was the generalized conjecture of the twin prime conjecture - the Polignac conjecture.

This conjecture is much more difficult than the twin prime conjecture.

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly: I just uploaded the proof paper on arxiv, so I should be 80% sure about it!

Good! Good! Good!

Zhang Yitang couldn't help saying hello three times.

Then he said: Professor Pang, let me read your paper first, so I won't talk much.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yitang hung up the phone directly.

Although he knew very well in his heart that what Pang Xuelin said was 80 to 90 percent sure, it was almost 100 percent.

But he always has to read the paper before he can feel relieved.

After Zhang Yitang, Liu Tingbo, Zhang Deye and even Qiu Chengtong also called one after another.

They were all woken up by friends in the mathematics field with a phone call when they were sleeping, and they learned the amazing news.

At the same time, some reporters who are familiar with Pang Xuelin also called, hoping to have a brief interview with Pang Xuelin on this incident, but Pang Xuelin declined all of them.

For him, at least until the proof process of Polignac's conjecture has been fully recognized by the mathematical community, he will not appear in a public interview.

By the time Pang Xuelin finished dealing with all kinds of phone calls, it was already evening.

Pang Xuelin sat at the desk, checked the time, and said to Qi Xin who was always by his side: Xiao Xin, get ready and go to the Princeton dinner with me later.

Deligne had already informed Pang Xuelin that Princeton University and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study would hold a grand dinner for him. On the one hand, he was welcomed, and on the other hand, it was also to celebrate the report in the morning.

Pang Xuelin couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to agree.

Qi Xin walked behind Pang Xuelin, put his arms around Pang Xuelin's head, and whispered in his ear: I won't go, there may be reporters at the dinner later, I'm not suitable to show up now. I'll be there In the room, waiting for you to come back...

When he said the last sentence, Qi Xin's pretty face flushed a little.

Pang Xuelin was slightly touched in his heart, he knew that Qi Xin didn't want to make it difficult for him.

He pulled Qi Xin into his arms, looked at the girl's infinitely shy and pretty face, and silently lowered his head.

After a long time, the two separated panting.

In the evening, Pang Xuelin received a warm welcome from many scholars.

This time, not only many well-known figures from the mathematics field came to the dinner, but also many scholars from other disciplines of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

For example, the thin old man in front of him, with a somewhat wretched appearance, was tirelessly trying to sell his ideas to Pang Xuelin.

Professor Pang, do you know? It's incredible. According to your paper on the preparation of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes published in the Nature paper in the first half of the year, I found that this method can be improved as long as it is improved. It is used in the preparation of graphene, and it is expected to prepare that kind of ultra-large-scale single-layer graphene...

May I ask you are……

Corton Walker, professor of chemical engineering at Princeton.

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly: Professor Walker, the idea you mentioned is indeed feasible. At present, my experimental group at Jiangcheng University has completed the laboratory preparation of this graphene. For the paper, I think you should You can see it on nature.

Walker was slightly taken aback, and said, Professor Pang, do you know what the biggest use of this material is?

What's the biggest use?

Walker said: Lithium-air battery! You should know that although lithium-air batteries have excellent prospects, lithium-air batteries themselves have a fatal flaw. The solid reaction product lithium hydroxide () will accumulate on the positive electrode, making the electrolyte and air. The contact is blocked, which causes the discharge to stop. We can use the tunneling effect of the carbon atom ring of the graphene material to use an organic electrolyte on the negative side and an aqueous electrolyte on the positive side. Set up between the two electrolytes A solid electrolyte membrane made of graphene material separates the two. This prevents the electrolyte from mixing and promotes the reaction of the battery.

Pang Xuelin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Walker and said, Professor Walker, is it convenient for me to give you your contact information? I hope to have a chat with you tomorrow.
