Chapter 144 Interview
The meeting ended like this. After an exciting first day and a second day full of surprises, the third day encountered a major earthquake, which made these mathematicians unable to react for a moment.
Fortunately, with Grothendieck here, the situation was temporarily under control. No matter what attitude they had towards Lu Qiujian's speech, they would at least have a deep impression on them. I believe that in subsequent research, they would consider those issues intentionally or unintentionally.
This is also Lu Qiujian's purpose. Although he may be able to solve these problems alone, it is a bit too time-consuming. If he can concentrate the power of mathematicians around the world and work hard, it will be much faster to achieve this goal! It is really worth it to spend 10 million US dollars for this!
Of course, he also made some tricks in setting up the problem. These ten problems are the necessary prerequisites for completing his plan. Only when these ten problems are solved can he complete his plan. Of course, these are just equivalent to creating a handy tool. To put the plan into practice, he still needs to rely on physics. This is also the reason why he plans to switch majors after graduation.
Richard Feynman, one of the most important theoretical physicists after Einstein, once said: Mathematics is like hand/lust and sex/love; if you want to do something real, you have to rely on physics.
Of course, there is still some time before applying to school. My most important job is to take advantage of the last time of my undergraduate degree to promote the development of mathematics as soon as possible. Using Feynman's brain groove to explain, it means that if you have too much sex, you won't be at a loss when you have sex.
After the meeting, some people hurriedly embarked on the journey back before they could attend the dinner; some people planned to leave the next day, and of course some people chose to stay because the problems of Lu Qiujian did touch their itch.
For those who were leaving, the special car of the Jingshi University took them to the airport, and they were naturally happy to stay. After rescheduling the accommodation, they made room for them to communicate in the office building of the Department of Mathematics; of course, they would also invite a lecture to an expert with a high status.
As for media publicity, whether it is newspaper readers or TV viewers, compared to the issue of Poincaré's conjecture, they are more concerned about the Fields Medal.
After 20 or 30 years of opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and its national status and people's self-confidence have continued to improve. In terms of economy, China's GDP has ranked sixth in the world, and is very close to France, which is fifth, and may have hope to surpass this year; in sports, the medal list of the last Olympic Games also ranked third.
However, in science, China has not won a heavyweight medal, which inevitably makes the Chinese people feel a little regretful. In their words, the national football team has entered the World Cup, so why can't they even get a Nobel?
Now that Lu Qiujian has won the Fields Medal, known as the "Nobel Prize in Mathematics", how can they not be satisfied with expectations? Perhaps the only regret is that the Fields Medal is a four-year approach. It was just awarded last year, and the next time it will be awarded two years later, which makes them unable to wait.
Lu Qiujian became a hot topic in the media for a while. The imperial court not only specially made special programs for this report meeting, but even gave a minute of reports on the news program at 7 o'clock; other newspapers, the Internet, etc. began to spread overwhelming publicity to interpret the status and history of the Fields Medal to readers. Looking for experts to explain the great significance of the Poincaré conjecture and the reasons for winning the award, Lu Qiujian's personal public information was dug up by them, from the full score of the first math test in elementary school to the math score of more than 140 in the college entrance examination. Of course, the news about the college entrance examination also caused a lot of complaints from netizens. Even such a powerful mathematician cannot reach the full score. Isn't it too difficult to get the college entrance examination mathematics?
However, this was the achievement of the original owner of Lu Qiujian's body, and he was powerless. Then the invitation of the interview flew from all directions, and under the expectations of the school, he chose the imperial court to cooperate. The others all claimed that they had to devote themselves to research and had no time and refused. This aroused the dissatisfaction of countless media, and the argument that he was playing big names began to spread.
According to the agreed time, reporters from the imperial court came to the Jingshi University. Li Xiao, an old acquaintance he met in the United States, was also in the team, but this time he could only play a supporting role.
The interview was selected in an office in the Department of Mathematics Building. This time, Lu Qiujian interviewed a famous beautiful host. The audience commented that her program was full of intellectual beauty and humanistic care.
After a few greetings, the interview was officially started after the cameraman debugged the equipment. "First of all, congratulations on achieving such great results in cracking Poincaré's guess!"
"Thank you!" Lu Qiujian has encountered too many such congratulations during this period, "I just broke a piece of window paper based on my predecessors!"
"You are too modest!" The host smiled professionally, "Mr. Lu, I believe many viewers are as curious as me. When did you become interested in mathematics?"
Lu Qiujian closed his eyes and thought for a while, "Probably when I first learned to speak, my mother taught me to count. At that time, I learned very quickly, so I received a lot of rewards from candy; this gave me a hint that mathematics is a very sweet thing, and since then I have developed a strong interest in mathematics."
"It seems you have a good mother, so do your parents expect you to be a mathematician?"
Lu Qiujian shook his head, "No, according to their plan for me, I hope I can complete my university studies smoothly, then return to my hometown, work in the old factory where they have been to decades, become a respected engineer, and then get married and have children by their side, and spend a safe and happy life!" This is also the expectation of most people in their factory for their children, but with the decline of the factory, no one thinks so anymore.
"Although you did not follow their plan, your achievements today will definitely make them proud!" After the compliment, the host asked another question that the audience was very concerned about, "I have seen your game video at NCAA. Your basketball level is really amazing. Even if it expands to the whole world, there seem to be not many geniuses like you who have reached the top level in multiple fields at the same time!"
"I don't like the title of genius, which makes me feel that my efforts seem meaningless!" Lu Qiujian joked. (To be continued.)
