The entire academic seminar, which was scheduled to last for two hours from nine to eleven in the morning, ended at twelve o'clock, which was a full hour delay.

At 12 noon on October 10, in the lecture hall, the mathematicians in the first row stood up and applauded, and finally all the mathematicians stood up and applauded. The warm applause resounded throughout the entire Lecture Hall No. 1.

Applause flooded the entire lecture hall. Looking at the warm applause on the big screen, every student in the small square outside the lecture hall couldn't help but applaud. Even if they couldn't understand or understand, they were still impressed by this.

A warm atmosphere was infected.

People who were watching the live broadcast of this academic lecture couldn't help but stood up and applauded involuntarily.

In Lecture Hall No. 1, Liu Yichen watched everyone stand up and give warm applause. For him, this thunderous applause was simply the greatest affirmation for their research team, and he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

.

"Thank you to all the scholars for participating in this academic report. This academic report ends here. Thank you! Everyone is also invited to go to the canteen under the guidance of volunteers. A delicious lunch has been prepared in the canteen!" Liu Yichen said with a smile.

Professor Deligne stood up, holding a bottle of champagne in his hand, and said with a smile: "Well done, Liu, you have made achievements that have attracted the attention of the world. You deserve a glass of victory champagne at this moment!"

"Thank you, Professor Deligne, for your help along the way!" Liu Yichen took the champagne and gave Professor Deligne a warm hug.

As his doctoral supervisor, Professor Deligne is undoubtedly the scholar with whom Princeton University has the closest relationship and who is most familiar with him.

At the same time, the host came up with four crystal glasses. Liu Yichen opened the bottle of champagne on the spot and poured four glasses.

Liu Yichen, Xu Chenyang, Yun Zhiwei, and Zhang Wei picked up the glasses filled with champagne, smiled at each other, then clinked their glasses, then raised their heads and drank the wine in one gulp.

The champagne at this moment seemed so delicious.

The entire lecture hall burst into kind laughter and gave warm applause.

Then, under the leadership of volunteers, the mathematicians who came to listen to the report went to the canteen.

Although a grand and grand mathematics academic seminar was held, and the scholars who came were all very famous, there was no single exception, and it was still in the cafeteria.

What's special is that a whole floor of the cafeteria has been vacated. No students come here. It's all dedicated to these mathematicians.

Liu Yichen and others wiped their sweat with a hot towel and then went to the cafeteria. Today they had a heavy task. They needed to entertain these mathematicians and then act as tour guides for these mathematicians to visit the entire campus.

"Professor Liu, your results are so shocking. No one thought that you could complete the proof of the 'standard conjecture' so quickly." Tao Zhexuan couldn't help but marvel while eating.

"Professor Tao, I think mathematical research is like this. When inspiration comes, it can't be stopped. Of course, I have to thank His Majesty Grothendieck. His manuscript has given me a lot of help." Liu Yichen said with a smile.

Tao Zhexuan nodded in recognition. Mathematics is different from other subjects. It is most about talent and inspiration. When inspiration comes and a light flashes in your mind, a mathematical problem will be solved.

Once, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind and solved a mathematical problem in only 28 lines.

"Having said that, the solution to the 'standard conjecture' cannot be solved by inspiration alone!" Qiu Chengtong said with a smile: "There are 15 papers in total, which is amazing. To be honest, I really envy you young people who are still smart.

It turns quickly, unlike an old man like me, who already has a hard time doing research on his own."

He is now 67 years old. Although he is still in good health, he is no longer allowed to engage in mathematical research work in terms of thinking or physical energy. It is for this reason that he began to transform ten years ago.

Focus your time and energy on the popularization and education of mathematics.

Especially in mainland China, he even joined Shuimu University full-time, using his influence to improve the mathematics level of Shuimu University.

It is precisely because of this that he has been quite active in the media in the past few years, and his reputation has improved much more than before.

In the past, people didn’t pay much attention to mathematics. For the older generation of mathematicians, they basically only knew Chen Shengshen, Hua Luogeng, and Chen Jingrun. But now, even primary school students know about Qiu Chengtong.

In the past, it was difficult for students from the Mathematics Department of Shuimu University to go to top universities such as Princeton University and Harvard University to study abroad after graduating from the undergraduate program, but now it is possible. This is how Qiu Chengtong used his influence to set up this

a bridge.

It was only after he participated in TV programs several times that ordinary people knew that the Mathematical Olympiad was not all mathematics, but only a small part of mathematics. Mathematics requires talent. If you don’t have enough talent, there is no need to apply for the mathematics department. At the same time, many parents

, no longer require their children to attend Mathematical Olympiad training classes and then participate in Mathematical Olympiad competitions.

To be honest, the original intention of the Mathematical Olympiad competition is good, to discover students with mathematical talents so that they can be better cultivated. However, in China, this road has become crooked, and parents are trying their best to let them

My children take part in Mathematical Olympiad classes, thinking that this can improve their brainpower and IQ. Institutions have also promoted various methods and even constantly guide parents to pay close attention to extra points in the college entrance examination and improve their children's brainpower and intelligence.

The result is that, through cramming in the training class, I have become a problem solver, and my thinking has not been cultivated, but has been solidified.

This leads to the fact that students who appear to be good at mathematics are often not interested in mathematics, thus losing the original intention of the Mathematical Olympiad competition.

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

As a landowner, Liu Yichen constantly entertained various scholars. Although he may not always be able to chat, he always had to exchange a few words.

The entire lunch time seemed quite lively, with everyone chatting about academic report topics while eating.

After lunch, these scholars were arranged to go to the school hotel to rest. At three o'clock in the afternoon, some who were in a hurry took their luggage and left, while those who were not in a hurry, accompanied by Liu Yichen and others, were very interested.

Visiting the school.

Of course, the visiting area is limited to the teaching area and the coastal line. As for the scientific research area, they cannot be taken with them.

Many people who are interested in Kowloon University, or those who usually don’t pay attention, can’t help but arouse waves of exclamations as they continue to visit.

"Oh my God, they actually have a supercomputing center. It's so extravagant. Our school plans to build a supercomputing center. It has been planned for ten years and has never been seen. They have already built such a large and advanced supercomputing center." An Australian university

Mathematician 'Barrick' looked at the supercomputing center and couldn't help but marvel.

"I heard that Professor Liu spent tens of billions of dollars to build such a university." His friend George next to him blinked: "Professor Liu is the richest mathematician. We all know that he is very rich.

The funding for this school has exceeded that of Harvard University."

"Oh, it really makes people crazy with envy and jealousy. Why is it that everyone is a mathematician and he is so rich, but I lost all my money when I bought stocks!?" Barrick said angrily.

George spread his hands: "Maybe this is why he can prove the 'standard conjecture', but we can only get a so-so salary in college."

"Hey, George Barrick, I heard that as long as you are appointed as a full professor here, you can live in a villa and the salary will be no less than 150,000 US dollars." 'Dawson', a mathematician from New Zealand, came over.

: "Although it's not high, this is China and prices are quite low. With 150,000 US dollars a year, you can live very richly. What do you think? You can consider applying for a job here."

"Dawson, we are already 50 years old, and we don't want to adapt to a completely unfamiliar environment." Barrick shrugged and said, "Although China is very mysterious, it is completely different from our culture. It is okay to travel here. As for

If you come here to work and live, then you don’t have to.”

This kind of chat happened not only between Barrick and the others, but also among every scholar who visited the school.

Although most people have never thought about changing jobs and joining Kowloon University to work and live, there are still a small number of people who keep having thoughts flashing through their minds.

After all, working and living here is pretty good, and it won’t be any worse than working and living in Europe and the United States.

And this is also one of Liu Yichen's thoughts when he specially arranged to take them to visit the campus. The real heritage of a school is actually in the teachers and students. Liu Yichen is not worried about the students. Except for a few special admissions, the number of students who can come to the school is

In addition, there is no doubt that they are all extremely outstanding students, a few selected from tens of millions of people.

As for the teaching staff, he needs to work hard, because in this aspect, Kowloon University's foundation is still slightly lacking.

He hopes that this school can become the top university in the world and a holy place in the minds of scholars. He will not be tempted to join this school and be proud to work here.

He had stayed at Princeton University. Although the campus of Princeton University is not big and not modern, Princeton University has a special charm and a unique heritage that allows it to attract outstanding talents from all over the world.

Whether students or teachers, both students and teachers are proud to attend Princeton University.

Even someone as proud as Faltings never denies that he is proud to have been a professor at Princeton University.
