Chapter 155: Famous Yanjing! The Xia country mathematicians looked very unhappy, and the younger teachers were even ready to stand up and curse back. But then he sat down dejectedly. Should he curse back? How? What? Do he have the guts to do that? It is obvious to all that China's mathematical achievements have not been very high in recent years. Warwick had to go to the former Soviet Union to recruit talented mathematicians and gather talents before it was able to obtain some 3G patents. Domestic technology companies go overseas to look for mathematical talents, which is embarrassing for these people. The mathematical community in Xia country is naturally inferior to the Western mathematical community. Not only did modern mathematics originate in the West, but the gap in achievements is also overwhelming. Mathematics is the weakest, and other basic sciences are not much better. Ultimately, it is all due to the poor mathematical foundation. In addition to the fact that it is difficult to fight back because the results are not as good as others, the domestic mathematics community also has doubts about Lu Shan's paper. Lu Shan is really unknown. No one has heard of who his student is, and he has never appeared in the mathematics circle. Even if Lu Shan and Tang Yi published a paper, they were both second authors. Many people saw Tang Yi's name and just kept reading without seeing this name at all.
Lu Shan's paper is like a building built overnight. How can it not make people confused? It's not that these mathematicians look down on people, but that the academic clique system is prevalent. If you want to do research, you must have resources. If you don't get close to the academic clique, you won't have research resources. If you get close to the academic clique, it will definitely be known and it can't be hidden at all. While they were discussing, the time came and Qiu Chengtong walked to the podium to make his opening speech. "Welcome everyone here. This is the first academic report after the completion of the center..." Qiu Chengtong is a down-to-earth person. If someone had to give a speech at the opening ceremony, he would have wanted Lu Shan to go up and start the lecture directly. "Let's welcome Lu Shan to present his paper!" Qiu Chengtong did not introduce Lu Shan's title, which means that Lu Shan has no title. This time the discussion below intensified. Lu Shan walked onto the podium amid sparse applause. The applause came mostly from the Xia country's mathematics community, while almost no one from the Western mathematics community applauded. Lu Shan didn't care. He didn't say a word. He first spoke in Chinese and then repeated it in authentic London accent. There was no need for translation at all. When he announced the title of the paper, the Western scholars in the audience immediately started talking about it. "It's true that a big liar brought a small liar to cheat! Didn't Qiu Chengtong just want to take advantage of the popularity to prove Perelman's paper? He was not recognized, so he even brought out a small liar to continue the proof." "I'm not saying anything weird, but Perelman's paper is very clear, why do we have to dwell on it? Besides, the Americans before Perelman had already proved the Poincare conjecture in high dimensions, and now they are just rehashing the old stuff. Even if they have proved it, it's hard to say that they have completely proved the Poincare conjecture." "No, no, no, that mountain is talking about unification and mathematical expression. It's different from the previous topic. Maybe there's something new? Maybe we can explore the limits of the Poincare conjecture in high dimensions?" "You mean he wants to cover the Poincare conjecture? Just relying on one student? Qiu Chengtong was embarrassed. This student has only studied for a few years. He must not even say that the basic theory is wrong." The discussions among Western scientists suddenly became louder, and the Xia country mathematicians frowned. These Westerners were really arrogant. They mocked before the meeting and mocked during the meeting. It never stopped! This is what Westerners are like. They say they are gentlemen, but in fact they are rude and arrogant. Seeing this, the host hurried to maintain order. After he said it twice, the situation improved. Qiu Chengtong looked at Lu Shan with some concern, fearing that he might not be able to keep his composure. No, Lu Shan remained calm, and Qiu Chengtong was greatly impressed by his composure. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but how could he be as calm as an old monster?
Little did he know that Lu Shan was more happy to see this kind of situation. The more he looked down on others at first, the more enlightenment he would have later. The points he earned from this kind of enlightenment were the most outrageous! "Let me first explain the basic principles of this paper..." Lu Shan spent more than ten minutes explaining the basic principles of the paper, while using the PPT presentation he prepared yesterday. "B(x, t, r) represents an open sphere of radius r, centered at time T, and P(x, t, rt) represents the parabola neighborhood, ., all points... …a parabolic neighborhood P(x, t, e-1r, r2) is called a strong e-neck if it is scaled by a factor r-2…” "The above are basically the settings. From here on, the argument will move into higher dimensions. Once it is proven to be applicable to multiple dimensions, we will be able to better understand the structure of the universe..." "This thing seems..." Western scholars and most of the Xia scholars were somewhat confused after seeing Lu Shan's proof. But after Lu Shan spoke for a few minutes, the group of people began to frown. After a few minutes, their eyes lit up. Of course, this is only true for cutting-edge mathematicians, and many people are still confused. Your girlfriend may betray you, but you won’t in math, because if you can’t do it, you just can’t do it. After a while, the eyes of the mathematicians in the audience began to light up and some of them could no longer sit still. Lu Shan's paper is not just a verification, it really opens up a new track, which can verify Perelman's correctness. The most important thing is that it unifies the arguments above three dimensions. Scientists from the Xia country began to get excited. "Lao Su, this paper seems to be really feasible." "Nonsense, Mr. Qiu has already checked it, how can it be feasible?" "That's right! Look at the expressions of the foreigners, so funny!" The Western mathematicians' expressions changed from disdain to suspicion, to surprise, and then to shock. They were like chameleons. "Are we wrong? Lu Shan's ideas are fine, and the process of his argument seems to be fine. It is not a simple repetition, but a unification of them in the language of mathematics, which puts an end to the Poincare conjecture." "I can't hear the problem. I told you a long time ago not to underestimate people." "You didn't say that. Just now you said that he was a big liar leading a little liar." "You remembered wrong!" Many people didn't go to the toilet for three hours, fearing that they might miss something. Lu Shan didn't go to the toilet either, because he was watching the points increase, just like a greedy person hearing a reminder to collect money. "Points +20!" "Points +20!" Lu Shan was very happy. He got a very high score for his report to these math giants. Inspired them to have super high cost performance, some even gave 50 points at a time! Later, Lu Shan found that the points he earned were increasing faster and faster, but the numbers were getting smaller and smaller. He felt helpless and only hoped that the points he earned would be sustained after the paper was published. At the same time, there are still many small scores that keep jumping. Lu Shan glanced around without leaving a trace, and finally he understood. It turned out that a lot of people came to attend the class, but they had no seats, so they stood in the aisle and leaned against the windows.
There were people on the upper floors. The light was dim, and Lu Shan was standing at a angle facing the light, so he didn't notice it at first. Almost all of these latecomers were students from the Department of Mathematics at Shuimu University. Undergraduates, postgraduates, and doctoral students were all here. Some were from the Department of Physics, and they also came to listen. This is really a great benefit. The Poincare conjecture itself is a tool for studying astronomy and physics. Looking at Lu Shan on the stage, the group of people sighed. This was the first time this center was used, and it wasn't a world-renowned professor or someone from Mizuki University who gave a speech. That would be fine, the speaker is too young. The content of the speech was scattered and profound, with too many logical turns, it was impossible to follow, and it took a long time to chew on one sentence. “We are all young people, why is there such a big gap?” "No, we are definitely older than him, but we will never be able to catch up with this achievement in our next lifetime." "Teaching in front of Master Qiu and a bunch of math college students, damn!" Because there were too many people, the venue had to send people to maintain order and move too many people from high places, otherwise there might be safety hazards. The mathematics departments of other top universities in Yenching also gradually came over. Because many mathematics professors came to listen to the report, they realized that there was no problem with Lu Shan's report, so they quickly called people and summoned all the teachers from several other universities in Yenching, resulting in an increasing number of people here. The center immediately took emergency measures and broadcast the event live in an open space outside the center to avoid overcrowding in the auditorium. When Lu Shan finished his speech, there was prolonged applause inside and outside the center. After greeting, Lu Shan hurried downstairs. He was really in a hurry to pee. It took three hours! The applause from the mathematics community in Xiaguo was thunderous, and the clapping became louder and louder, with some people even clapping next to the ears of Western mathematicians. Who let these foreign devils look at people through the cracks in the door? It's really infuriating to look down on the Xia people like this. Now Lu Shan has made the entire Xia mathematics community feel proud, and they will flatter him as long as they can. Some simple-minded Western mathematicians also clapped along, but they felt something was wrong and it was taking too long. Others with less pure minds had already become unhappy. Qiu Chengtong's face flushed red. He waited for two minutes of applause before slowly walking up to make a summary. He didn't want to interrupt the glory that belonged to Lu Shan so soon. "Everyone, please be at peace! Be at peace!" Qiu Chengtong said calmly, but his words were sonorous and powerful. "Student Lu Shan's report today put a full stop to the Poincare conjecture. It opened a new door to the field of topology and also drew a very bright future for some research fields. Through this speech, I think mathematicians in Xiaguo should know that the domestic mathematical foundation is not bad, and it also makes it clearer what level our research can achieve and where the future direction lies." Applause rang out again. At this time, Lu Shan came back from the toilet. He thanked again and left. When he left, the audience applauded again, and countless professors came forward to shake hands with Lu Shan, mainly to chat with him. At this moment, Lu Shan seemed like the brightest star. Lu Shan had never seen such a scene before and felt a little nervous. Fortunately, others cleared the way for him and he was able to leave in a slightly embarrassed manner. Western scholars who were visiting Shuimu University were relatively speechless, watching the scene from afar. They felt very uncomfortable and concluded that if Lu Shan had a better educational environment, he might be able to achieve greater success than Qiu Chengtong. The professor at Stanford University even had some ideas that it would be a waste of talent to keep such talents in Xia Country. "This young man, topology is like a toy in his hands." At this moment, Xia Guangming, dean of the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Xia National Academy of Sciences, made a secret decision.
