The top student must be diligent

Finally, Xiao Yi woke up.

He opened his sleepy eyes and saw the two academicians in front of him. He was a little dazed.

Did he...

Fall asleep on the table?

However, he soon recovered his spirit. After all, he was a young man, and for him, because the quality of sleep was good enough, even if he only slept for 4 hours, he could actually cope with a daytime. However, because he needed to keep thinking during the day, he would ensure that he slept for 7 hours every day.

"Academician Hu, and Academician Xi, why are you here?" he asked.

The two academicians laughed immediately.

After explaining, Xiao Yi apologized with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry to have worried you. I was doing research last night and forgot the time. I finally dozed off and slept on the table."

"It's okay. I hope you're fine." Xi Lan patted Xiao Yi's shoulder with a smile: "There are not many young people like you. It's very rare to do research until late at night. Of course, no matter what, health is the most important thing."

"You're right." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Also, I came to you to ask if you have prepared the report for tomorrow."

"Well... I am ready." Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then asked: "But I want to ask, how long can I speak tomorrow at most?"

"At most?" Hearing this question, Xi Lan was stunned: "The report will start at 2:30 in the afternoon, and you can speak before 5:30."

"Even if you can't finish, you can continue the next day, it won't be a problem."

"But what are you going to talk about? Will it take a long time?"

Academician Xi was a little confused, and of course, Hu Guangde next to him was also a little puzzled.

Didn't you say before that half an hour to forty-five minutes would be enough?

Xiao Yi turned around, glanced at the draft papers on the desk, and replied: "Well, in addition to what happened at the discussion meeting that day, I also plan to talk about some new things."

...

Chapter 80 All problems have been solved

Xi Lan and Hu Guangde were full of doubts about the "new things" Xiao Yi mentioned.

However, when they wanted to ask, they saw Xiao Yi yawning, so they gave up asking and told him to go to bed and have a good rest.

After seeing off the two academicians, Xiao Yi yawned again.

"Ha~ huh, I only slept for four hours last night, and I have to rest for another three hours."

Xiao Yi thought so in his heart after looking at the time.

"But it was worth staying up all night last night."

All the efforts of so many days were worth it.

Since receiving the email from Professor James Maynard about eight days ago, Xiao Yi's inspiration began to burst out, so every day after that, he devoted all his energy to the study of the combination of far Abelian geometry and automorphic forms.

Until the most critical step in the first three days, he did not go out of the door, and almost sat at this table all day without leaving, until almost five o'clock in the morning today, when he fell asleep.

Sitting back at the desk, he sorted out the draft papers on the table one by one, and finally stacked them neatly.

There were about thirty pieces of paper in total, which condensed all his inspiration and thoughts in the past ten days.

The answers to the questions were also condensed in these thirty pieces of paper.

He opened the Warwick laptop in front of him, unlocked it, and a browser full of windows appeared, which were full of various papers and materials.

But now they can all be closed.

Click the X in the upper right corner to close them all at once, and then Xiao Yi planned to shut down the computer and go to bed.

But before going to bed, he suddenly remembered that he had not replied to Professor James Maynard's email last time.

Let's reply to Professor Maynard first.

Thinking of this, he reopened his mailbox and replied to Professor Maynard.

[Sorry, Professor Maynard, I have been in a research state based on the inspiration brought to me by your email some time ago, so I have been replying to this letter a little late, and I apologize to you.

However, I have solved all the problems, and you will see my good news soon! ]

Click send, and then go to bed!

...

UK, Oxford University.

"Congratulations, Li Qiman, you have passed your doctoral dissertation defense. After discussion by the college, it is decided to confer you a doctoral degree in mathematics!"

"Congratulations!"

In a small classroom, Li Qiman walked to James Maynard with excitement and took the certificate representing his doctoral degree from his mentor.

He bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, professor! Thank you for all your help!"

"This is what you deserve. We all know that after hard work, you will always get corresponding rewards, right?" Maynard smiled and patted Li Qiman, saying.

"Yes!" Li Qiman nodded heavily.

Maynard also sighed slightly, thinking that he had sent off another doctoral student.

For him, who is only 33 years old this year, he has not taught many doctoral students. He is still quite pleased to see Li Qiman graduate.

However, according to the normal process, Li Qiman's graduation defense would not be so fast. Everything changed because of the email sent by the Chinese genius boy.

The problem is...

Why hasn't that guy named Xiao Yi replied to his email until today?

Thinking of this, his heart became resentful.

Even when he first submitted a paper to the four major mathematics journals and expected the editorial department to reply to his email [Paper Accepted], he didn't check whether the other party had replied to him almost every day like in the past few days.

That kid, wouldn't forget to reply to him?

For a moment, he wanted to go back and check his mailbox again.

So he said something to Li Qiman, asking him to celebrate with his friends, and he left the classroom and returned to the office.

He hurriedly opened the mailbox and took a look.

Received a new email.

His eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly clicked in, and finally saw the familiar sender.

It was Xiao Yi's email!

Finally waited for you, fortunately I didn't give up.

Maynard was in tears.

Sure enough, after hard work, there will always be corresponding results!

However, when he saw the content of the email, he froze again.

"All problems have been solved? What problem has been solved?"

"Is it the mysterious functor mentioned by Grothendieck, or the combination of far Abelian geometry and automorphic forms?"

Maynard wanted to know the answer frantically.

"It can't be that the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture has been proved?!"

However, no matter how he picked up the words of Xiao Yi's email, he couldn't figure out what problem Xiao Yi solved from the lines.

For a moment, his heart was like itching.

There was no way. If it was just the mysterious functor problem raised by Grothendieck, he wouldn't care so much, but what if Xiao Yi solved the problem of combining far Abelian geometry with automorphic forms?

As an expert in analytic number theory, he wanted to know the answer to this question too much, just like his character, "If you don't do it, don't stop."

When he first started his doctoral studies, his mentor told him not to study prime numbers, as it would make him unlucky.

But he still chose to challenge this peak, and thus, he accidentally produced a lot of results.

Now, facing something that may be a big deal for the entire number theory, he certainly wants to know the answer.

First, he sent an email to Xiao Yi, asking what the "all problems" he mentioned were, but after a long time without a reply, he began to search everywhere on the Internet.

For example, he looked for Xiao Yi's papers on arxiv, and even searched on websites in China.

Finally, he really found news about Xiao Yi.

"Tomorrow, Xiao Yi will hold a lecture in China?!!"

"It's definitely too late to rush to China now."

Maynard thought for a while, then immediately took out his mobile phone and called a Chinese professor in their college.

Although he couldn't go to the scene in person, even if he watched the live broadcast, he wanted to see what Xiao Yi would say at the lecture!

However, he seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Yi would definitely not use English when giving a report in China.

…

September 26 arrived as scheduled.

At the entrance of the Basic Science Park of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, some young people would get off the car from time to time and look at a huge poster placed at the entrance with yearning expressions.
