The Science Fiction World of Xueba

"Director, is there a proof process?"

"Yes, the photos of the writing on the blackboard at the report meeting have spread throughout the mathematics community, and many mathematicians are checking the calculations."

"Okay, then you send me the photo, and I'll see it now!"

The generalized Teich-Miller theory and the ABC conjecture proof papers have been published for so many years, but have not been widely recognized by the mathematics community. The ABC conjecture has almost become Mochizuki Shinichi's demon.

He has always been unwilling to believe that the set of theoretical frameworks that he spent more than ten years carefully building turned out to be a mistake.

Therefore, when he suddenly heard that this conjecture was proved, the first thing Mochizuki Shinichi could think of was to find out the mistakes in Pang Xuelin's proof process as soon as possible.

Soon, twenty blackboard photos were sent to Mochizuki Shinichi's computer, and Mochizuki sat cross-legged in front of the computer and began to study.

...

Naturally, Pang Xuelin did not expect that his proof of the ABC conjecture would arouse Mochizuki Shinichi's rebellious heart.

After chatting with Deligne and the others for a while, Pang Xuelin went straight back to his room to sleep.

The liver exploded for 36 hours in a row, no matter how energetic Pang Xuelin was, he still couldn't bear it anymore.

The participating mathematicians also knew that Pang Xuelin had worked hard, so they did not pester Pang Xuelin, but continued to study the contents of the twenty blackboards in the conference room.

Fortunately, the organizers of the meeting had given enough time for the mathematicians to communicate after the academic report meeting. Therefore, this seriously overtime academic report meeting did not cause too much confusion.

Early the next morning, Pang Xuelin opened his eyes feeling refreshed.

This sleep was extremely clear, as if he regained the energy lost during his liver explosion.

Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside table, Pang Xuelin couldn't help being startled. There were more than 60 missed calls in total, some of them were from his grandfather, some were from Liu Tingbo, the dean of Jiang University of Mathematics, and most of them were from strange calls, both at home and abroad. Among them, Pang Xuelin looked familiar, as if it was the phone number left by the reporter who interviewed him last time.

Fortunately, I set my phone to silent mode before going to bed, otherwise I would not be able to sleep well this time.

Pang Xuelin shook his head, put the phone aside, went to take a shower first, and made himself refreshed before walking out of the bedroom.

In the living room, Qi Xin had just finished answering a phone call. Seeing Pang Xuelin wake up, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Student, you finally woke up, so hurry up and call Dean Liu. I have answered all the calls from yesterday to now." More than a hundred calls."

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion: "What's the situation? Why did they even call you?"

Qi Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm afraid you don't know yet. For some reason, the news of yesterday's report meeting spread to the outside world. Reuters immediately quoted a professor from the Paris Ecole Normale Supérieure, saying that you have proved the ABC conjecture. Now When the news spread to China, discussions about you are everywhere on major forums and social platforms, and journalists are looking for you everywhere. I don’t know who leaked my phone number. If someone can’t contact you, just call me hit me."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call Dean Liu first."

It is now 7:30 in the morning in Paris, and it is early morning in China.

But as soon as Pang Xuelin dialed the phone, he was connected directly.

"Professor Pang, you have finally woken up. Why did you put such a large satellite in this report without telling me in advance? When I heard the news, I was shocked..."

Liu Tingbo babbled there for a long time before Pang Xuelin said, "I also decided to change the content of this report meeting because of a temporary inspiration."

Liu Tingbo said: "About the proof of the ABC conjecture, are you sure? Now there is a lot of news in the world of mathematics, and I don't know if it is true or not. I heard that Deligne and Faltings all recognized your proof yesterday?"

Pang Xuelin said: "Almost,

Anyway, none of them raised any objections. "

"Then how confident are you personally?"

"pretty close!"

Liu Tingbo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't accept media interviews lightly these days. After returning to China, the school will arrange an ABC conjecture proof seminar as soon as possible. By the way, when will you return to China?"

Pang Xuelin said: "The plane at eleven o'clock tonight is estimated to arrive in Shanghai tomorrow evening!"

Liu Tingbo said: "Okay, let's talk about it when you come back. By the way, don't forget to tell President Zhang that all your twenty whiteboard writings will be transported to Jiangcheng. These important academic historical materials must be kept in Jiangcheng. Big, don’t be robbed by other units.”

Pang Xuelin: "..."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Xin asked curiously, "What did Dean Liu say?"

Pang Xuelin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just a cliché. Let me not be interviewed by the media for now. Also, let me transport the twenty whiteboards back to Jiangda."

Qi Xin chuckled, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, and said: "Your performance yesterday was indeed a bit scary, especially after watching the proof process, I was so nervous that I was afraid that you would get stuck in some link. But you When writing the testimonial on the stage, he was really handsome!"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "Didn't you see that I had a bad liver the night before yesterday? If I'm not sure, I wouldn't do such a thing. By the way, there should be nothing to do today. We are on the plane at eleven o'clock in the evening, and there is another day Time, aren't you going to go out for a stroll?"

As soon as I mentioned this, Qi Xin suddenly made a bitter face, and said: "I have to help people buy things. After knowing that I am going abroad, my girlfriends and relatives and friends asked me to bring cosmetics and health care products. I spent all day today. I have to go shopping. What about you, what are you going to do today?"

Pang Xuelin said: "I'm planning to go to the French Institute for Advanced Study and read the manuscripts left by Grothendieck."

Qi Xin was slightly disappointed, but she quickly adjusted and said with a smile, "Well, let's split up today."

...

Today is the last day of the report meeting. In the morning, mathematicians from various countries left one after another.

Before leaving, most of them ran over to say hello to Pang Xuelin.

Deligne is going to Germany to study Ponzi geometry again with Faltings. Since Schulz came here by car, this time, they will take Schulz's car back.

Tao Zhexuan returned to the United States directly, and before he left, he told Pang Xuelin not to forget to go back to his alma mater if he had time.

Qiu Chengtong and Zhang Deye were going to visit London according to the original plan. When Pang Xuelin sent them to the door of the hotel, he happened to see the workers packing the whiteboards. He couldn't help but said speechlessly: "President Zhang, these things are really so important ?"

Zhang Deye said seriously: "Professor Pang, these may not be important to you, but to the mathematics community in our country, this is more important than ten Fields Medals. These things represent our the cornerstone of human civilization."
