Ultimate Scholar

"The Max Planck Society Life Sciences Congress?"

When Li Mu saw such an invitation email in his mailbox, he was taken aback.

[Dear Mr. Li Mu, this is the Life Science Committee of the Max Planck Society. We expect to hold our annual Life Science Conference in late June. The conference aims to invite life science experts in various fields to share their research Experience, the mathematical analysis method you demonstrated in your paper "A New Recognition Mechanism of Immune Cells and Lung Cancer Cells" has attracted the attention of the entire academic community, so we sincerely invite you to participate in this conference and contribute to Let us detail your experience with this.

I must tell you that this has huge implications for our entire life science community, so we look forward to seeing you.

If you agree, please write a simple reply, we will arrange your report time, thank you! 】

Taking another look at the inscription, it is the chairman of the Life Science Committee of the Max Planck Society, Swante Pepper.

This is an expert in evolution and genetics, and he also has Nobel Prize-level achievements in his hands.

Of course, for the Max Planck Society, there are quite a few scholars with Nobel Prize-level achievements.

But, facing this invitation, Li Mu couldn't help but face difficulties.

Although he didn't understand what kind of impact he had on the biomedical world, but now, he has inevitably entered the sight of the biomedical world.

So, to...or not to?

"What seems to be bothering you?"

At this moment, a voice came.

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw Professor Andrew Wiles walking over.

"Andrew, what a coincidence!"

At the request of Andrew Wiles, Li Mu has gotten used to calling him by his name directly. Of course, this has virtually brought the relationship between teachers and students closer.

Andrew Wiles smiled and nodded at him: "It's not a coincidence, after all, I often come to the library."

"Of course it's also possible. Did God guide me to explain this coincidence to you?"

Li Mu hesitated for a moment, then showed the email to Andrew Wiles.

As a result, after Andrew Wiles took a few glances, his smile disappeared, and on the contrary, he also showed confusion.

Obviously, God did not guide him to solve Li Mu's doubts, but only brought him doubts.

"Why does the Max Planck Society invite you to participate in the life science conference?"

It's okay to invite CERN, after all, he is in high-energy physics, which can be regarded as Li Mu's major.

Where did this life science come to join in the fun?

He finally looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu spread his hands and looked innocent: "It's because of the paper mentioned above. I collaborated with others on that paper. I just provided a little help in mathematics."

Andrew Wiles: "..."

A little math help? It caused people to react like this?

Fine.

For Li Mu, it was probably understandable.

"Then what are you wondering about?" Wiles asked puzzled.

"I'm thinking about whether to go." Li Mu touched his chin.

Wilers breathed a sigh of relief for a moment. He almost thought that Li Mu was puzzled by some difficult academic questions, but it turned out that it was just this question.

He smiled and said, "Since you were invited, why didn't you go?"

"I'm currently studying Goldbach's conjecture, so I want to devote more time to this problem."

Wiles shook his head and patted Li Mu on the shoulder, "I thought you were already good at solving mathematical conjectures, but it seems that there is one of the simplest truths that you haven't grasped."

"Persistence is not the solution to all problems, changing the way of thinking is the key."

"I also learned from Professor Richter about your research on Brother Guess. If you can choose to change the angle to solve this problem, you shouldn't feel distressed about this kind of thing."

"So, do you understand?"

Li Mu nodded, but then said: "But I remember that you insisted on solving Fermat's last theorem for a long time."

Embarrassment appeared on Wiles' face, he coughed twice, and declared: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't insist on it all the time, and occasionally relaxed, until a beautiful afternoon like today, I didn't Inadvertently found the ultimate proof."

"So you see, great moments happen by accident, and you just have to show off your math skills."

Li Mu expressed doubts about Wiles' words. After all, according to the rumors, after Wiles failed to prove Fermat's Last Theorem for the first time, he spent more than a year working on it.

It wasn't until the end that he began to think about how to write the reasons for his failure to prove that he had the inspiration by accident and discovered the key.

Of course, Li Mu didn't expose it either.

"You are right."

He said: "Insistence sometimes does not solve all problems."

Wiles smiled and nodded: "Okay, it seems that I can prepare for the birth of another brilliant achievement for the mathematics world."

Then he got up and patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and left quickly, probably because he was afraid that Li Mu would bring up the details of his proof of Fermat's last theorem.

Seeing Wiles leaving, Li Mu shook his head with a smile.

Then look back at the email.

Hmm... Since the biological community is so interested in his mathematical methods, then he might as well share his analytical thinking with those biologists at that time.

Well, they should be able to understand...

Bar?

...

Time passed quickly.

Came in late June.

Li Mu, dragging his suitcase, came to Germany, Frankfurt, which is also the city where the Max Planck Society Life Science Conference is held this year.

Arriving at the hotel near the Frankfurt International Conference Center, after putting down his luggage, he went to the Frankfurt International Conference Center.

After coming here, the crowd in the conference center surged, and he couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people..."

"this is normal."

At this time, a voice came from the side.

Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and looked over, and saw a man about forty years old standing beside him, and said to him with a smile.

He asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, Kingsley Weil, Associate Professor of Biology, ETH Zurich."

The man stretched out his hand towards Li Mu, and said with a smile, "You must be Li Mu, right? Nice to meet you."

Li Mu nodded, shook hands with this person, and said, "So it's Professor Weir. I'm indeed Li Mu, but how did you recognize it?"

Kingsley Weir laughed: "After all, you are the person who has brought a new situation to our biomedical field, of course I recognize it, not to mention that I also have pure admiration for mathematicians. I am very concerned about your achievements in mathematics."

"As the outside world has commented, you are absolutely an unparalleled genius."

Li Mu was really embarrassed to boast like this at the beginning, and he laughed: "It's nothing, nothing, ETH Zurich has produced a lot of geniuses, Einstein, von Neumann... But it's too much."

Kingsley Weir waved his hand: "The dead have become the past, we all have to focus on the present."

Li Mu nodded, and asked again: "Are you also here to attend the meeting?"

"Yes." Kingsley Weir nodded with a smile, "I have participated in several conferences, but this is your first time, right? Let me introduce you first, how about it?"

Seeing that Professor Weir is so enthusiastic, Li Mu also knows a truth, if you don't have anything to do, you can either rape or steal.

However, for the first time here, it would be nice to have a guide.

So he didn't refuse either: "Then I'll trouble you."

...

Under the leadership of Kingsley Weir, while learning about this conference, Li Mu understood why there were so many people here before the conference started.

As the world's top and one of the largest research institutions, the Max Planck Society often attracts a lot of attention to its conferences.

Not to mention that this is a congress in the field of life sciences.

There are many studies on biology. Like chemistry, these two subjects have the highest probability of publishing articles.

According to the statistics of "nature", almost most of the experiments on biology-related papers cannot be reproduced. This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the field of biology. Many researchers and students put their energy into it.

Of course, not only scholars in the field of life sciences, but also biomedical companies are very interested in this kind of conference.

It is a consensus that all drug sellers make money, but there is also the same point. Once drug sellers can't keep up with the limelight, they can only watch other companies make money.

"So, although the conference hasn't been officially held yet, there are already a lot of presentations, basically scholars who have ideas or projects but no money, and want to attract investment here."

"And those company representatives also choose the presentations they are interested in to participate in. Maybe they can get gold out of these shit piles of presentations?"

Hearing Kingsley Weir's explanation, Li Mu couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what if you voted for the wrong project?"

"Hey." Weil Yile: "If they don't invest, there will always be other companies who will invest. If they see other companies really find gold, it will be more uncomfortable than losing money themselves."

Li Mu: "..."

It makes sense.

"Oh, yes, if I remember correctly, the report you are going to give in three days will be held in this conference hall."

At this time, they walked to the door of a large conference hall. Kingsley Weir pointed to the conference hall and said, "This is the largest conference hall in the Frankfurt International Conference Center. Your treatment is really enviable." ah."

Li Mu glanced at it, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Kingsley Weir waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'll take you to another place."

In the following time, Li Mu followed Kingsley Weir to visit the Frankfurt International Conference Center.

After shopping around, Kingsley Weir didn't ask Li Mu for help.

This made Li Mu even more curious, what is this person trying to figure out?

He couldn't believe that this person was really just helping him.

Even if he is invited to do research, he can consider it as appropriate.

Of course, no matter what, today is over.

After bidding farewell, he returned to the hotel, while making final preparations for his report, while waiting for the official start of the conference.

...

Two days later, the meeting was held.

Li Mu didn't have anything to do in the meeting on the first day, but he basically understood the report on this day.

For him, it only takes one day to master all the basic knowledge of a subject, and it only takes one day to master advanced knowledge. For more advanced knowledge, it depends on the amount of knowledge.

With the bluetooth connection function of the brain computer, it is not difficult for him to do this.

Therefore, just relying on his knowledge reserves in the first two days of the conference, he has become a biological expert-at least he can almost answer any questions about the current biological knowledge.

Therefore, it is not a problem to understand other people's reports.

In this way, came the second day.

His report also starts today.

...

"Thank you for coming, Li."

In the backstage lounge, Swante Pepper, the chairman of the Life Science Committee of the Max Planck Society, walked in and greeted Li Mu with a smile.

The two shook hands, and Swante Pepper said apologetically, "I really couldn't get out because of the conference two days ago, otherwise I should have come to see you long ago."

Li Mu smiled and waved his hands: "Professor Pepper's words are serious, the scale of this conference is so large, of course there is no need to waste time on me alone."

Swante Pepper waved his hand: "No, no, your method has brought a new perspective to our biological world, and I should also show that I value it."

"Your report will start soon, and I am looking forward to your speech."

Li Mu nodded: "I will try not to disappoint everyone."

"Okay." Swante Pepper nodded with a smile, and then said no more, and after sending a few words of wishing success, he returned to the audience.

Finally, it was time to report.

Li Mu stepped onto the stage in anticipation of everyone.

Facing so many audiences present, he said: "It is a great honor to be invited by the Max Planck Society to come here to give a report."

"To be honest, as a mathematician and physicist, I never imagined that I would one day show up at a biology conference to give a talk, just like that paper, nor did I imagine that it would cause such a huge impact on the biology community. Great response."

There was a burst of laughter off the court.

"Of course, thanks to everyone's high expectations, I will naturally not let you down."

"So next, I will simply share with you how to use mathematics to play an important role in the analysis of experimental data."

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Great, "simple" to share, just what they need.

If it's difficult, they still don't understand.

Biologists from all over the world thought so.
