Ultimate Scholar

Wiles' car was parked in front of Merton College, Oxford.

The side door opened, and Li Mu walked out from inside.

"Crack!"

"boom!"

With the sound of flowers spraying and bursting, strips of ribbons fell from the air, and finally landed on him.

Then there was a burst of applause.

Many students of Merton College stood at the gate of the college, warmly welcoming his return.

"Lee! God of mathematics! God of physics!"

"Welcome the return of the only recipient of the Dirac Medal!"

"The great Pope of Mathematics and Physics has returned to his faithful Merton College!"

...

Looking at the crowd of people who greeted him and the words they yelled, Li Mu showed helplessness on his face.

Although it is not like All Souls College with less than 100 members, there are not many people in Merton College. After all, Merton College has quite high requirements for incoming students.

But looking at it now, I'm afraid that a quarter of the academy's people have come to welcome him, right?

Someone even held up a banner with the Burger King logo, but with the word "hamburger" crossed out and replaced with "math" and "physics."

Li Mu had the urge to touch his forehead.

And at this time, an old man came up and said to him with a smile: "Li, welcome back, how do you feel?"

Li Mu saw that this old man was the dean of Merton College, Martin Taylor.

He smiled wryly and said, "Dean Taylor... Isn't this a little too enthusiastic?"

Martin Taylor burst into laughter immediately: "Isn't it better to be enthusiastic? An old guy like me is still enthusiastic, and a young man like you should be like this!"

"Yeah." At this time, another person walked by, it was Lucas Richter, he smiled and said: "Think about it, you have proved Goldbach's conjecture."

"I almost stayed up all night to read your two papers that night. It's really surprising. This conjecture was solved by you just like that."

Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's still close."

"It's not too much difference." At this time, the old dean Martin Taylor took Li Mu's arm: "Okay, okay, let's enter the academy, the party is ready, you are the protagonist tonight .”

Li Mu turned his head as if asking for help, and looked at Wiles who was standing next to the car behind him.

As a result, Wiles just gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

There was no intention of helping him at all.

Helpless, Li Mu was dragged into the academy just like that.

It was even more different within the college. The lawn that only professors could step on was already full of students.

I don't know when the table moved over was placed on the grass, and it was also filled with all kinds of snacks and drinks.

The young students celebrated to their heart's content. Although they were not the protagonists, it did not affect their enjoyment of the party.

And when Li Mu was dragged in by Dean Taylor, the students who were having fun saw them, and then cheered and applauded him.

Until the end, Li Mu was brought to the temporary podium.

Martin Taylor is 69 years old this year, but he is still very passionate at this kind of party. With a very passionate voice, he shouted into the microphone: "Let us welcome, the prover of the twin prime number conjecture and the hailstone conjecture, The great mathematician who is about to end Goldbach's conjecture, the discoverer of dimensional force, the bell ringer who played the prelude to the grand unified theory of physics, and one of the most outstanding young people in the history of Merton University, Li Mu! Back to our Merton!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

On the grass, all the young people cheered together, and some put their hands in their mouths and whistled sharply.

"Next, let me give the microphone to our pride. Let's do what our protagonist says today! Got it?"

Amid the shouts of "yes", Martin Taylor turned to look at Li Mu next to him, and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll leave it to you, just say a few words."

Li Mu spread his hands, what else can he say?

Like the saying goes, if life rapes you, enjoy it.

Then he completely let go, walked to the microphone, looked at the people below, and then announced loudly: "Since Dean Taylor said so, I will only say two words: First, thank you! Second Two—enjoy the party!"

The people in the entire academy were stunned for a moment, and then burst into cheers again.

Martin Taylor next to him probably didn't expect that Li Mu really only said a few words, but then he smiled and patted Li Mu on the shoulder: "It seems that you have grasped the essence of the party."

"Of course, there is still a very necessary step that cannot be forgotten."

Martin Taylor turned and fetched two bottles of champagne.

"The first bottle of champagne is to celebrate your winning the Dirac Award and the Ramanu Gold Award."

"The second bottle of champagne is also for celebration. You proved Goldbach's conjecture."

"bring it on!"

With that said, he handed both bottles of champagne to Li Mu. \b

But Li Mu only took the first bottle, and then said to Martin Taylor: "Dean Taylor, I heard that you are very keen on watching football games, and you are also a loyal fan of Liverpool. You should have heard the story of opening champagne at halftime, right?" ?”

Martin Taylor was taken aback for a moment, and then said very excitedly: "Of course I know this! I watched the game on the spot!"

In 2005, in the UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool played against AC Milan. In the first half, AC Milan had a huge advantage of 3:0 and almost sealed the victory. Therefore, during the intermission, the players of AC Milan opened up in the locker room. Champagne, celebrate ahead.

As a result, a shocking reversal occurred in the second half. Liverpool scored three goals in a row to equalize the score. In the end, Liverpool won the penalty shootout.

As a loyal Liverpool fan, Martin Taylor remembers it all too well.

"So, let's keep this second bottle of champagne for later." Li Mu said with a smile, "I'm already planning to hold a report on Goldbach's conjecture in a month, and let me open it after the report is over. Bar."

Martin Taylor was stunned for a long moment, and then deeply agreed: "Yes! You are right, yes, we can't learn from that Italian team."

"In that case, well, I will keep this champagne for you until a month later."

"Then, let's open this first bottle of champagne first."

Martin Taylor said.

"Thanks."

Li Mu nodded with a smile, then took the first bottle of champagne, tore off the tinfoil on it, then took off the wine ring, pressed the cork with his thumb, and then shook it vigorously until finally——

At this moment, the entire lawn of the college fell silent. Both the professor and the students were watching the champagne in Li Mu's hand. Finally, with a burst of air pressure explosion, the champagne gushed out, bringing with it the Another shout from the audience.

The party prepared for Li Mu has officially begun!

...

Time passed quietly.

After one night, the entire Merton College was filled with joy.

But happy times always pass quickly.

After a day passed, the party was over, and the students and professors returned to their normal routines. Classes should be held in class, and those with topics should continue to work on them. The lawn in the college has once again become an area that only professors can step on—of course , In fact, professors don't usually step on it, people will only step on that lawn when events are held.

On the other side, the news that Li Mu announced that he would hold a report meeting on Goldbach's conjecture was also quickly spread.

For a time, the entire mathematics world was once again in a state of turmoil.

The eyes of countless mathematicians are all on Li Mu.

Mathematicians are already looking forward to the report on Goldbach's conjecture.

For Oxford University, it is of course very meaningful for Li Mu to hold a report on Goldbach's conjecture here.

Goldbach once studied at Oxford University, and it was here that he started his systematic research on mathematics, so he was able to leave Goldbach's conjecture as a famous problem for hundreds of years.

And now, this problem will also be solved here!

Immediately, Oxford University announced to the outside world that it would host the report, and the venue would be the Oxford Conference Center.

And it will be held on September 13th!

With the determination of this date, and for a period of time before September 13, many tickets to Oxford were sold out.

Obviously, there are very many mathematicians who came to this report.

This is the appeal of Goldbach's conjecture!

...

Time passed quietly.

A month passed quickly.

During this month, the mathematics community is certainly looking forward to Li Mu's report, and of course various mathematicians have never stopped verifying Li Mu's thesis.

The two papers add up to more than 150 pages. If you really want to read them carefully, it will take a long time. Of course, after one month, it is enough for those top scholars to read them carefully.

But no scholar has questioned Li Mu's proof process.

This also made the mathematics community more and more confident in his proof.

And Li Mu's report also became more important.

Perhaps, this report will be the final conclusion for this conjecture!

September 13th came quietly.
