Ultimate Scholar

Hearing the voice next to him, Li Mu was taken aback.

Turning his head to look, he couldn't help being surprised.

"Professor Wiles?"

It was Andrew Wiles who handed him the pen, the mathematician who once proved Fermat's last theorem.

His thin and tall figure, and his wise eyes under the glasses, are full of the air of a scholar.

Wiles smiled at him, and raised the pen in his hand again: "Take it, this pen has been with me for decades. When I proved Fermat's last theorem, I used this pen to complete my thesis. The final summary in the book should be qualified to be your souvenir."

Li Mu was suddenly surprised, "How can this work? This pen should also be very memorable to you."

Wiles waved his hand: "It is meaningful to me, but maybe giving it to you will be more meaningful to this pen."

"I'm getting old, and maybe I can no longer have the energy to solve various mathematical problems like when I was young, so in my hands, it will never be able to reproduce its glory again."

"But if I leave it to you, I think there will be another day like that."

Wiles laughed.

"this……"

Li Mu didn't know how to respond to Wiles' words.

He had a feeling that as long as he took over the pen, he would have the responsibility of inheritance on his shoulders.

And at this time, behind Wiles, another person stepped forward.

"Oh my god, Andrew, you really want to give this pen away? I remember that I wanted to buy it from you for 10,000 dollars twenty years ago, and you even rejected me at that time!"

This person's voice also made Li Mu feel a little familiar. Turning his head, he said in surprise: "Professor Deligne!"

Deligne nodded to Li Mu with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the pen in Wiles' hand.

"May I take a look at it?"

he asked.

Wiles smiled and said, "Now this pen belongs to Li Mu, so you need to seek Li Mu's opinion."

"That's right." Deligne looked at Li Mu with a smile and asked, "I just don't know if Li Tong disagrees?"

"This..." Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but under Wiles' smile, he could only say, "Of course, of course you can watch."

"Thank you." Deligne nodded, then took the pen from Wiles' hand and began to observe it carefully.

"It really is this pen, with a cap made of 14k solid gold, and even a small crown version." Deligne showed an envious expression: "I still find it hard to believe that you actually have this pen."

Wiles said with a smile: "My teacher gave it to me back then. Otherwise, I would not have been born when this pen was born."

He turned his head to look at Li Mu and said, "Although my teacher is not a great mathematician, he is indeed a great mathematics educator. When he gave me this pen, he Hopefully I can carry it forward.”

"So, I'll leave it to you later."

Li Mu was even more surprised, this fountain pen has such a long history?

At this time, Deligne also handed the pen to Li Mu again, and said with a smile, "Take it."

"This pen is Parker 51, Heirloom series. It is the most classic style among Parker pens. Eighty years ago, the starting price was 80 US dollars. Tsk tsk, until now, this pen can be said to be priceless."

"However, Wiles is right. Only when this pen is in your hands can it truly reflect its value."

"It's like a Steinway piano. If it is played by a master pianist, it will be able to bloom the most beautiful sound, but if only some rich people buy it and put it in their homes, it will only be a pearl. Dusty."

Although his words were full of envy, he thrust it into Li Mu's hands without hesitation.

"As a piano, even if it is smashed during the performance of the symphony of fate, it is probably better than being covered with dust. The same is true for this pen."

Li Mu finally took the pen, and rubbed his fingers over the pen body. The golden cap and black pen body, the smooth surface does not seem to be an old object from the last century, more than 80 years ago.

It can be seen that it was well protected in the hands of the previous two owners.

Holding the pen, he raised his head and looked at Wiles again.

"Thank you Professor Wiles for this gift, I will try my best to make it shine again."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Wiles smiled gratifiedly, and his face seemed relieved.

Then he remembered something, took out an exquisite pen case from his bag, and handed it to Li Mu: "Oh, by the way, there is also this pen case, which is also matching."

I accepted such precious pens, so naturally I didn't care about accepting an extra pen case.

Li Mu accepted the pen case thankfully, and put the pen into the box.

The flannelette inside looks very smooth, I believe it can protect this pen well.

And Wiles' eyes followed the lid of the pen case, and finally restrained his reluctant eyes, and said, "The meeting should start, let's go, let's go in together."

"OK."

Li Mu nodded.

Step into the No. 1 meeting room.

In the wide hall, discussions continued.

Before the closing ceremony officially started, all the participants were discussing the gains from the past few days.

And when Li Mu walked in, many people looked at him, and some of them pointed to him and talked with the people next to him.

A helpless smile appeared on Li Mu's face.

This is probably the famous trouble.

Then, I sat down with a group of math experts, and the closing ceremony officially started not long after.

Ganesh Donald, chairman of AMS, stepped onto the rostrum, coughed twice in front of the microphone, and announced the official opening of the closing ceremony.

A lot of awards were also presented at the closing ceremony. The winners were very excited, and the losers were full of regrets.

till the end.

"Originally, in our joint mathematics conference, there would not be awards for a certain report, but under my proposal, our organizing committee agreed that a special award should be given to the most outstanding young man in our conference. An award."

"Most Influential Report Award."

"So please tell me, who should this award go to?"

Almost in unison, thousands of participants shouted loudly: "MuLi~~~"

Ganes looked at Li Mu's position with a smile - there was no way, so many bosses sitting around him made him all the more obvious.

Li Mu was a little dazed. He thought he was here to watch the closing ceremony, but in the end he could get another award?

Wiles next to him smiled and pushed him: "Go up, you will probably experience such things often in the future, get used to it early."

Li Mu's face was helpless and pleasantly surprised.

Then, under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, he stepped onto the rostrum.

The certificate in Ganez's hand was handed over to Li Mu: "Congratulations, young man, I had a dream last night and dreamed of mathematics and came to me. She said she liked your Valentine's Day gift very much."

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled: "Then why didn't you come to me?"

Ganesh laughed and said, "That's probably shy!"

"I believe that as long as you give her more gifts in the future, one day Mathematics will kiss you back."
