Ultimate Scholar

The plane roared past and finally landed at Oxford Airport.

The tourists on the plane began to disembark in an orderly manner.

And Li Mu also dragged his luggage and walked down.

There is no direct flight to Oxford in China, so he also transferred from London.

The voyage on this journey was quite long, and it took more than 10 hours. Of course, he also used this time to adjust his biological clock.

As soon as he landed, a phone call came.

Andrew Wiles.

"Hey, Li Mu, have you arrived yet?"

Hearing the other party's words, Li Mu was taken aback.

Because... the other party actually spoke to him in Chinese.

This made him hesitate a little, the voice seemed to be...Professor Wiles, but can Professor Wiles speak Chinese?

With a cautious attitude, he asked, "Uh...what about Professor Wiles?"

"Hahaha, you didn't hear it, it's me!"

The person on the other end of the phone burst out laughing immediately.

Really Professor Wiles!

Li Mu was very surprised: "Professor, you can speak Chinese?!"

"Surprised, isn't it?" Wiles laughed: "I have been learning Chinese for a long time, even if I keep talking to you in Chinese, there will definitely be no problem."

"Now you can test me on any sentence, and I can understand the meaning."

Li Mu: "...Well, 'I also want to live the life I have lived', can you translate the meaning of this sentence?"

Wiles: "...?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and finally Wiles chose to change the subject: "Uh... let's not talk anymore, I'm already waiting here in the pick-up hall, come out quickly."

Hearing this, Li Mu was taken aback again: "You actually came to pick me up?"

Professor Wiles had never told him that he would come to pick him up before.

Wiles said with a smile, "Back then, that Witten guy said that if you became his student, he would personally pick you up at the airport. Of course, I will do the same now."

Hearing Wiles' words, Li Mu was a little moved.

In any case, Wiles learned Chinese and now came to pick him up in person, which represented his attitude. \b

Then he said, "Okay, I'll be right out."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu dragged his luggage and walked out.

When he came to the pick-up hall, he saw the tall and thin Professor Wiles.

Wiles came alone. He stood there looking at the exit, and when he saw Li Mu coming out, he smiled and waved.

"Li Mu! This way."

"Professor Wiles."

Li Mu walked up with a smile.

"I finally saw you again." Wiles said with a smile, "Compared to you a year ago, you seem to be more mature."

"maybe."

Li Mu smiled.

A year ago, he was just emerging in the world of academic circles.

And now he is already famous.

Naturally, there have been some changes.

"Okay, let's go now, I came here by car, and I will introduce you to the city of Oxford by the way."

"Although the history of Britain is not as long as that of China, compared with other countries, there are many long-standing stories here." Wiles said, "I believe it will bring you another kind of experience. "

"Okay." Li Mu nodded.

About 3 or 4,000 years ago, there were already traces of human activities on the British Isles. Of course, until civilization was established, it would be relatively closer. It was not until 829 AD that England was officially unified. At that time England is complete.

Of course, this is the case, and this country is already older than most countries, such as a British rebel.

The two walked out of the airport while chatting, but at this moment, another voice came: "Li Mu!"

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment.

This voice is...

He turned his head and saw a familiar figure running towards him.

"Big Zero...senpai?"

The figure finally came in front of Li Mu, but just when the figure was about to stand still, Li Mu's first words almost made her stagger.

This person is Yun Rongshang.

Today, she seems to be wearing a very beautiful dress, with a white dress with some patterns on the inside, and a long jacket that looks very warm on the upper body. A section of calf is exposed from under the skirt, and there are obvious traces of bare legs. .

Of course, on top of this beautiful outfit, there is an angry expression on top.

"I haven't seen you for so long, is this your first sentence?"

Li Mu chuckled, waved his hands again and again and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just subconscious."

Then he asked suspiciously, "Why did you come here?"

"its me……"

This question caused Yun Rongshang to lower his head slightly, put his hands behind his back, and drew a circle on the ground with his toes.

She thought of all kinds of reasons in her mind to explain why she was here, but in the end, she found that these reasons seemed to be worth three hundred taels of money here.

With no choice but to raise her head, she said honestly, "I'm here to pick you up! Hehe, surprise?"

"Come to pick me up?" Li Mu was taken aback for a moment: "I don't think I told you that I arrived today, did I? How do you know?"

"The mountain people have their own tricks, so you don't need to ask more!" Yun Rongshang changed the subject: "Just say surprises or surprises!"

She would not tell Li Mu that she had inquired about it from her aunt Sun Ziping, and then Sun Ziping went to ask Lin Yao, and Lin Yao naturally knew when Li Mu would leave and arrive.

Hence, Yun Rongshang came today.

"Surprise surprise, very surprise." Li Mu laughed and said.

In any case, meeting an acquaintance in a foreign country is always a joy.

After all, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land is also a great joy in life.

"Li Mu, who is this?"

Beside, Professor Wiles asked with a smile when he saw the two young men finished their conversation.

Li Mu introduced: "This is a friend I met at a school in China, and she is now a postgraduate student at Oxford University."

"That's it." Wiles said with a smile: "So you already have acquaintances here, it seems that I don't need to introduce you how to live here, let your girlfriend... Female friend, let me introduce you."

Yun Rongshang's face flushed slightly, and only then did she notice Wiles next to her, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Sir Andrew Wiles?"

"It's me." Wiles nodded with a smile, "You can speak to me in Chinese."

He once won the Knight Commander's Order KBE, which is the second-ranked medal in the fifth-class British order, and members of the United Kingdom or the Commonwealth Kingdom who have won the top two orders can add the title of Sir to their title.

This is considered a first-class honor throughout the UK.

Yun Rongshang was taken aback for a moment, and realized at this moment that Wiles was also speaking Chinese just now.

"Wow! You are really amazing. I rarely see people who speak Chinese so fluently here."

"Really? Haha, that means my study was not in vain." Wiles laughed quite complacently.

At Oxford University, it is normal for professors to master multiple languages, but if anyone can master Chinese, they will definitely be praised by others.

Therefore, whenever someone praised his good Chinese, Wiles would feel quite proud of it.

But suddenly he remembered what Li Mu said in his test just now, so he couldn't help asking: "However, just now Li Mu tested me in Chinese, what's it called... I've lived a life... uh, I've lived a life, you know What does this sentence mean?"

Yun Rongshang was taken aback. Although Wiles didn't make it clear, she could guess what that sentence was, so she couldn't help but look at Li Mu.

Li Mu spread his hands, showing an innocent expression.

Yun Rongshang suddenly chuckled: "You are really bad boy."

Then she explained the sentence to Professor Wiles.

After hearing this, Wiles was still in a daze.

In the end, I could only sigh: "It seems that my Chinese is still not in place."

...

After leaving the airport, Li Mu and Yun Rongshang got into the car driven by Wiles.

While chatting along the way, Li Mu also observed the architectural style of the city. \b

Oxford is one of the oldest cities in the UK, and the buildings here are also very distinctive.

Looking all the way, Li Mu can feel a kind of customs.

Finally, their car drove all the way into the campus of Oxford University and stopped in front of a building. Only a high-status professor like Wiles could drive the car into the school.

"Okay, Ms. Yun, I'm going to borrow your friend for a while, and I need to tell him something about his admission. Of course, it won't be too long. If you want, you can come to the office and wait."

"I..." Yun Rongshang thought for a while, then nodded: "Then I'll just wait!"

"Okay, let's come together then."

Wiles nodded with a smile, and then led the two of them into this very old-looking building.

Soon, they came to Wiles' office.

In the spacious office, there are rows of desks, and a blackboard that covers the entire wall. Some mathematical derivations are scattered on the blackboard.

There are still several young students in the office.

When these students saw Wiles, they all shouted, "Oh! Andrew, you're back."

Wiles nodded to his students, pointed at Li Mu next to him, and said, "Come and see, who I brought back!"

These students looked over immediately, and then they were all surprised: "I bought it! Li!"

Although these students can become Wiles' students, it shows that their mathematical attainments are already very deep, but Li Mu is still their idol.

If Wiles hadn't been here, they would have immediately surrounded Li Mu.

Wiles smiled and introduced his students to Li Mu, and then pulled Li Mu to his desk.

"First of all, I want to tell you something, welcome to Oxford University, the first university in the UK and the second university in the world."

"And from today, you also become a member of Merton College, one of our oldest colleges in Oxford University."

"You are welcome to join."

"I also believe that Merton College will become more brilliant because of you."

Later, Wiles handed over a series of admission certificates to Li Mu.

"The academy has already handled all your admission procedures for you. Here, you only need to conduct academic research with peace of mind. The academy and I will not impose any restrictions on you."

"Of course, if you encounter problems, you can come and discuss them with me, but I can't promise you that I will definitely help you, because the topics you study may be more difficult than mine."

"It's like... Li's expansion."

Wiles asked with a smile: "I heard that you will go to CERN in a month to give a report on Li's expansion?"

Li Mu was surprised for a while: "You also know?"

Wiles laughed: "Just kidding, this matter has been spread in the physics and mathematics circles."

"This is a mathematical theory comparable to Taylor's expansion, and any mathematician will care about it."

"So I'll probably go with you then."

After Li Mu called Witten that night, Witten disclosed the news that he would go to CERN to hold a report a month later.

Naturally, the academic circles who have been paying attention to this matter also know about it, including Wiles.

Neither physicists nor mathematicians are willing to be absent from such a heavyweight report.

And CERN has already contacted Li Mu to confirm this matter, and has announced the official time of holding it, April 1st.

Ever since this period of time, a lot of air tickets to Geneva have been sold.

"Okay, that's all I have to say, oh, yes, and your dormitory."

After informing about some related matters, Wiles took out the key, a copy of accommodation regulations and dormitory information from the drawer: "Your dormitory is located in Manor Square, and it has already been arranged for you—— probably you don't need it. I'll take you there, and your friend will show you."

"Okay, that's all I want to talk about, now you can go get together with your hometown friends."

Wiles suddenly came up to Li Mu and said with a smile: "This is a very beautiful girl."

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he also took over the series of materials, and then thanked: "Thank you, Professor."

Wiles smiled, "You can also call me Andrew like everyone else in the future. I prefer a teacher-student relationship like a friend."

Only then did Li Mu understand why the other students called Wiles' name directly after they entered the office just now.

"Okay, Professor... oh, Andrew."

Wiles smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, let's go."

...

"It turns out that you joined Morton College!"

After leaving Wiles' office, Yun Rongshang said in surprise.

"What happened to Merton College?"

"Merton College is one of the colleges with the best grades among the 38 colleges of Oxford University, and it is also very rich. It is full of big shots, like your teacher, Andrew Wiles."

"It's just that Merton College is a very exclusive college. They generally only accept local students, and hardly accept students from other countries, or even students who were not born in the local area."

"It's really you!" Yun Rongshang said with emotion.

The colleges of Oxford University are not divided according to majors. Each college is a small university, and students learn from their tutors.

So this makes these colleges very individual, like Merton College's xenophobia, even if it is the personality of this college.

It's just that now it seems that no matter how xenophobic you are, there will always be times when it really smells good.

Yun Rongshang even thought, the only school in this world that would reject Li Mu is probably the girls' school?

"And your admission procedures have been completed for you, just like when I first enrolled, I ran for a long time to complete these procedures."

Yun Rongshang felt very envious, "There is also a dormitory, is your dormitory fee free?"

"It seems so." Li Mu said.

Anyway, after he came to Oxford University, he never gave money at all.

I even made a lot of money...

Yun Rongshang was even more envious: "The annual dormitory fee in Oxford is 5,000 pounds! I really miss the 1,200 dormitory fee we paid for Jiaotong University!"

"Is it so expensive?" Li Mu was surprised.

"Of course." Yun Rongshang nodded again and again: "Not to mention the tuition fee, let me tell you..."

Next, Yun Rongshang told Li Mu all the things that she only knew after coming here. Of course, she also took Li Mu to get acquainted with the campus.

In it, Li Mu saw the table where Tolkien often sat when he wrote "The Lord of the Rings", and the very distinctive dining hall in "Harry Potter".

Of course, he also experienced the food here—it can only be said that the gourmet desert is indeed a gourmet desert.

This made him deeply concerned about his diet in the future.

In this way, under Yun Rongshang's introduction, he got a preliminary understanding of this place.

"Okay, it's getting late, go back to the dormitory early."

Looking at the falling night, the two finally said goodbye.

"Okay, it's time to go back to the dormitory, if you have anything to do, just ask the senior sister."

"How can we say that we are equal now?"

"I came before you, so it's still your senior sister."

"Big Zero..."

Before Yun Rongshang's eyes gradually narrowed, Li Mu quickly changed his words: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Only then did Yun Rongshang smile.

"Stop talking, goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

After waving their hands, they stopped talking.

Li Mu returned to his dormitory.

The dormitory is a single room, very spacious.

Looking out from the window, there is a field of flowers, the scenery is very good.

But now it's dark and I can't see anything.

Li Mu let out a sigh of relief, and will return to research next.

The next step is to prepare for going to CERN in a month...

The corner of Li Mu's mouth slightly curled up.

I hope that the physics community at that time can accept the impact of the new fundamental force as soon as possible.

He has determined that that unknown thing is the new fundamental force!
