The Science Fiction World of Xueba

"China's 23-year-old math genius has made history! The BSD conjecture proof has been unanimously recognized by the mathematics community, and Pang Xuelin is expected to receive a huge prize from the Clay Institute of Mathematics in the United States!"

The New York Times immediately published the headlines on the homepage of its official website.

Immediately afterwards, media from various countries followed up one after another.

BBC: "Chinese geniuses have conquered the international mathematics community, and the proof of the BSD conjecture has been recognized by top mathematics scholars such as Faltings, Deligne, Wiles, Gross, and Coates."

Asahi Shimbun: "The son of the dragon shines in the world, and China is about to give birth to the youngest Fields Medal winner in history."

Chosun Ilbo: "A Chinese genius who has conquered world-class math problems, Pang Xuelin is suspected to be of Korean descent."

Uh, there seems to be a strange thing mixed in.

...

Compared with the slightly veiled flattery of the media in other countries, the reports of the domestic media are even worse.

Xinhua News Agency: "A great moment, my country's genius mathematician Pang Xuelin's proof of the BSD conjecture has officially been recognized by the international mathematics community!"

People's Daily Online: "Remember this day, September 20, 2019, a historic moment in the Chinese mathematics world. The name Pang Xuelin will resound throughout the world!"

The Paper: "Pang Xuelin shows greatness, this 23-year-old math genius is crowned king!"

"I'm coming, I conquer!"

Tencent reproduced the title of Observer.com on the homepage of its official website.

In the report, the reporter wrote: "Today, Pang Xuelin, a young mathematician in China, held a BSD conjecture proof academic report meeting at Jiangcheng University. Applause. After entering the questioning session, none of the top mathematicians present raised their hands to ask questions. This scene is extremely rare in any academic report meeting. Faltins, Denelli, Wiles, etc. Top mathematicians spoke out one after another on the spot, saying that the proof paper of Pang Xuelin's BSD conjecture has passed the expert review of the top international mathematics journal "Annual of Mathematics" and will be released next month. This means that the international mathematics community has officially recognized Pang Xuelin's work, Pang Xuelin will also become the second mathematician after Perelman to solve the seven millennium problems..."

...

Compared with the excitement of the media, the Internet is caught in an unprecedented carnival.

If before, Chinese people were still worried about whether Pang Xuelin's proof would be recognized by the international mathematics community, then at this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Discussions about Pang Xuelin and the BSD conjecture in the major post bars and forums once again flooded the screen. The posts of Pang Xuelin who had seen bad news before were hung up by netizens, digging graves and flogging corpses.

Those Jiangcheng University students who participated in the report meeting proudly shared what they saw and heard at the report meeting with the majority of netizens.

"You don't know the shock. Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded, including those top talents. These characters who used to only appear in textbooks were applauding our country's mathematicians. That kind of The pride, there is no way to describe it in words!"

"I'm going crazy, I'm trembling as I type this excitedly, all I can say is, Pang Shen today, a battle to become a god!"

"This is the role model for our young generation. You don't know how handsome Pang Shen was when he spoke on stage. After the meeting, Faltings, Deligne, Wiles, Gross, and Coates successively expressed their approval of Pang Shen. When I was in God, I couldn't control my tears at all! I don't know why, I was so excited, I was so excited!"

...

At the same time, a microblog written by a participating Chinese scholar also received a lot of forwarding and discussion among netizens.

He wrote on Weibo: "The report meeting is over, and I'm still feeling overwhelmed. I can't help myself. It is said that meeting is worse than being famous. Pang Xuelin's report meeting opened the eyes of mathematicians all over the world.

At least I have never seen such a scene. Before the start of the report meeting, many mathematicians participated in the report meeting with doubts. "

"However, in the report meeting, Pang Xuelin perfectly explained some ambiguous or ambiguous issues in the paper, and completely filled in some minor flaws in the BSD conjecture. It is a masterpiece. It is also because of this that in the following questioning session, the venue fell into silence. To be honest, there are not a few academic reports I have attended, and this is the first time I have seen such a scene. "

"Pang Xuelin is only 23 years old now, and I have never had contact with him, but according to the level shown in this paper, it is hard for me to imagine what kind of height he will reach in five or ten years, and what he will give us. What a shock!"

"We are fortunate to have such a mathematical genius in our country, and I hope that a genius like Pang Xuelin will not be a flash in the pan!"

...

In Yangma's "NEWS broadcast" that night, it took nearly three minutes to broadcast this news.

"This morning, our country's young mathematician Pang Xuelin held an academic report meeting at Jiangcheng University to show the proof of the BSD conjecture to the mathematical community, which was highly recognized by the international mathematical community. The proof paper will be published in the international Among the top mathematics journals "Annual of Mathematics". For this reason, our reporter interviewed Professor Pang Xuelin!"

As soon as the screen changed, Pang Xuelin appeared on the TV.

"Professor Pang, your proof of the BSD conjecture has been highly recognized by international colleagues. I would like to ask how you feel now?"

"Be calmer. In fact, after the paper is published, the BSD conjecture is over for me. Today's report is just a supplement to this paper."

The reporter said: "Aren't you worried that this paper will not pass peer review?"

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "For me, the paper will only be released when I am 100% sure. After the paper is published, the research will come to an end. It doesn't matter whether everyone agrees or not, because the truth is there. Of course, I am also very happy that so many colleagues from the mathematics field can participate in my report meeting today, I will try my best to explain my academic views to everyone, and I am also very glad that everyone has recognized my achievements."

...

After the report was over, this wave of public opinion continued until the eve of the National Day, before it was replaced by news about the 70th anniversary of the National Day and the military parade.

But Pang Xuelin has become an idol of the whole people. When walking on the school road, there are students who come to ask for a group photo.

He had to live in seclusion. Except for occasional classes, he stayed in his teacher's apartment in Jiangda University most of the time, and occasionally went back to his grandparents' house.

During this period, his parents who were traveling abroad called him several times and encouraged him.

Pang Xuelin originally thought about whether to let his father come back early and hand over the flying blade materials to his team for research.

But think about it or forget it. This year is the 25th anniversary of my parents' marriage. The two planned a three-month trip around the world. Let's talk about the flying blade material after they come back from the trip.
