The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Chapter 168 Press Conference

After eating, Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng and Xu Jingyuan left the school and went to the home of the village chief Hu Liangcai.

As soon as they entered Hu Liangcai's house, the three of them saw Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin coming out of the room, with excitement flashing on their faces.

Since last night, Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin have been studying Pang Xuelin's thesis at Hu Liangcai's home, and have not gone out all morning.

Seeing Li Zhiguo and Xie Yongxin, Xu Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in saying, "Old Li, have you finished reading Teacher Pang's paper? What's the result? Has it been proved?"

Li Zhiguo smiled and said: "It's more perfect than expected. The logic of the thesis is very solid and smooth. Originally, Lao Xie and I wanted to find any loopholes in the thesis, but we didn't find any. And..."

"And what?"

Xu Jingyuan asked curiously.

Li Zhiguo said: "And the mathematical framework shown in this paper is even more important than the proof of Fermat's conjecture itself. When Fermat put forward this conjecture, he once said that he had already completed the analysis of the conjecture. The proof of this proposition is only because the remaining blank space of the manuscript paper is too small to write. Mathematicians of later generations have been trying to find a concise method to prove Fermat’s conjecture, but there has been no progress. At present, the international mathematics community mainly converts Fermat’s conjecture into To conduct research in the form of elliptic curve equations, to prove the Fermat conjecture by proving the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. Rotendieck's Far Abelian geometry, the entire proof logic is very concise and powerful..."

Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan looked at each other with happy faces.

Although they couldn't understand those professional mathematical terms, they also understood that Pang Xuelin's proof had been recognized by two top mathematicians in China.

Xu Jingyuan said: "Since it is confirmed that there is no problem, let's discuss it with Teacher Pang and return to the capital tomorrow. Those Western reporters are going crazy. They go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs every day to ask who Pang Xuelin is! We need to let Teacher Pang Hold a press conference ASAP..."

...

That night, Lin Huaiguo, Liu Changzheng, and Xu Jingyuan approached Pang Xuelin and proposed that Pang Xuelin follow them to the capital and hold a press conference.

Pang Xuelin agreed without hesitation, and said that he was worried about Ah Qing, and hoped that he could take Ah Qing with him.

Naturally, Liu Changzheng and the others would not have any opinions.

As for the other children in Lingziding Village Primary School, Lin Jianzhang has already made a promise to immediately transfer two teachers from the best primary school in the county to continue the normal teaching work of Lingziding Village Primary School.

Only then did Pang Xuelin feel relieved.

Early the next morning, everyone set off.

All the way through the mountains and ridges, after arriving in Dayu Township, everyone transferred to minibuses and headed straight to Lincheng.

Rested in Lincheng for one night, and the next day, accompanied by Liu Changzheng and Xu Jingyuan, Pang Xuelin took a plane to the capital.

Along the way, Ah Qing, who walked out of the mountains for the first time, was a little at a loss when faced with the high-rise buildings and heavy traffic that Pang Xuelin once said.

Most of the time, Ah Qing basically hid beside Pang Xuelin, looking at the colorful world outside with timid eyes.

Until I got on the plane,

She just got a little excited.

Sitting by the porthole, I kept observing the receding ground.

Houses like matchboxes and cars driving on roads like ants have become objects of novelty for her.

Especially when the plane broke through the clouds and the sun came in through the porthole, Ah Qing couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.

Liu Changzheng and the others loved this sensible little girl very much, and even made up their mind to recognize her as a relative.

As for Pang Xuelin, he remained calm until he arrived in the capital.

This surprised Liu Changzheng and the others.

After all, for a young man who had only been to the provincial capital Lincheng since he was a child, his first flight by plane was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Pang Xuelin had given them too many surprises, and they had gradually adapted to Pang Xuelin's various unexpected performances.

After arriving in the capital, Pang Xuelin and Ah Qing were arranged to stay in the executive suite of the Capital Hotel.

Although in the eyes of Pang Xuelin, the decoration of the Capital Hotel seems a bit old-fashioned and rigid, but in Ah Qing's eyes, compared to the small mountain village deep in Anhe County, the current environment is already equivalent to heaven.

That night, Liu Changzheng, Xu Jingyuan, Li Zhiguo, and Xie Yongxin hosted Pang Xuelin at the Capital Hotel.

At the same time, an official from the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also present at the dinner, named Geng Huan.

After dinner, Geng Huan called Pang Xuelin aside, and talked with Pang Xuelin about the upcoming press conference.

"Ms. Pang, it is estimated that at least half of the press conference will be attended by foreign journalists. I heard from Department Liu that your English is very good, but we will arrange simultaneous interpretation this time. You only need to answer in Chinese. That's it."

Pang Xuelin nodded and smiled, "Director Geng, I'll trouble you."

Geng Huan said: "In addition, Mr. Pang, you should also know the attitude of western countries towards our country at present, especially at your age, the questions raised by those reporters may not be very friendly. If you don't know how to answer then Yes, just keep silent, I will help you answer at the press conference..."

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback, and said, "Director Geng, what if they asked insulting questions?"

Geng Huan said with a smile: "Mr. Pang, don't worry about this. Foreign journalists who are not friendly enough will not be able to continue to extend their visas in China, so under normal circumstances, they will not ask excessive questions."

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "That's good!"

...

Leighton Scott is a China correspondent for The Washington Post.

Early in the morning, Scott and his colleagues hurried to the Capital Hotel to attend a press conference jointly held by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During this time, Xuelin Pang's name resounded throughout the Western world.

A super problem that has plagued the mathematics world for more than 300 years was solved by an unknown mathematician from China. Since the news broke by the New York Times, it has quickly caused a sensation in the Western world.

Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, Washington Post, The Times, Bild, Australian Morning Herald, Asahi Shimbun...media from various countries followed up and reported.

But for the person who solved the Fermat conjecture, the media reports of various countries are still blank.

No one knew who this man was or where he came from.

Scott even found a professor in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University through his own private channels, and wanted to know Pang Xuelin's identity from him.

Unexpectedly, the old professor who has a deep understanding of the Chinese mathematics field would also ask three questions.

It was not until two days ago that rumors began to appear in Chinese academic circles, saying that the one who solved Fermat's conjecture was a rural elementary school teacher who had just turned 20 years old.

This made Scott scoff a little.

How can this be?

A twenty-year-old young man has solved a mathematical problem that humans have not been able to solve for three hundred years?

What an international joke!

Today, Scott just wanted to come and see, who is this mysterious Pang Xuelin!
