Chapter 303: The Yearly Miserable Competition
Chapter 303
Hey hey hey, that’s not right!
Constantine looked confused.
I originally thought that the first question was asked by Gu Lu, so the second question must be my turn!
But why?
The second question is still about Gu Lu!
Did you make a mistake? Hey!
Constantine twitched the corners of his mouth, rolled his dead eyes and looked at Gu Lu who was answering the question seriously, and snorted softly.
Gu Lu finished his answer.
Catherine looked down at the card, smiled and asked the third question, "Next question, please ask Professor Gu..."
Constantine, who was leaning forward to answer the question, suddenly froze.
The smile on his face stopped abruptly before it even started to bloom.
Catherine noticed the discomfort on Constantine's face and asked with concern, "Professor Constantine, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Constantine waved his hand, "No, I'm fine."
Catherine nodded and looked at Xilu, "Then let's continue. Professor Gu, there is another question here..."
puff--!
Constantine almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
When will it be my turn!
When will it be my turn!
Constantine looked up to the sky and screamed.
…………
After Constantine sat there for more than ten minutes, Catherine finally pointed the microphone at Constantine.
"Professor Constantine, the next question is about you." Catherine said with a smile.
Constantine felt the urge to burst into tears.
Finally, finally...it's my turn!
Constantine calmed down and showed a standard eight-tooth smile.
"Please tell me!"
Constantine stretched out his hand to signal to Catherine.
Catherine asked, "Did you give a report on the arithmetic prime number conjecture at this conference?"
Although Constantine was wondering why Catherine asked this question, he still nodded, "Yes, I did give a report on the arithmetic prime number conjecture. The title of the report was, when k is an even number, etc.
Proof of the differential prime conjecture!”
Catherine turned to look at Gu Lu.
"Professor Gu also gave a report on the arithmetic prime number conjecture during the conference?"
Gu Lu nodded and replied with a smile, "The content of my report is the proof of the arithmetic prime conjecture when k is an odd number!"
Catherine smiled with bright eyes and said, "Can I understand it this way? With the cooperation of Professor Gu and Professor Constantine, the arithmetic prime number conjecture was proved!"
Well……
Gu Lu and Constantine looked at each other, both speechless.
This understanding does make sense.
But this cooperation was carried out reluctantly by both of them.
In other words, forced to cooperate!
Those who don’t know the inside story may think that Gu Lu and Constantine have a very good relationship.
But those who know the inside story don’t think so at all.
Many people know it.
The reason why Gu Lu could prove the arithmetic prime conjecture when k is an odd number.
Some of the inspiration came from listening to Constantine's report at the conference.
This was the reason why Constantine felt ashamed and became hostile to Gu Lu.
This matter is not a secret.
Although Catherine did not point it out clearly, she still exposed Constantine's scars to a certain extent.
Constantine's face became a little ugly.
"Humph!" Constantine snorted first to express his dissatisfaction, and then answered Catherine's question, "Cooperation cannot be called cooperation! My part of the proof process was all deduced by myself without anyone's help.
.”
"As for Professor Gu's part, I saw some familiar content in many places, haha!" Constantine chuckled.
Gu Lu shrugged and said with a smile, "My part of the proof process indeed borrowed part of Professor Constantine's content."
Gu Lu has never denied this incident.
This is nothing to be ashamed of.
Just like writing a paper, it is common to attach more than ten or twenty references at the end.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Professor Constantine." Gu Lu continued.
"Thank...me?" Constantine pointed to himself and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Lu nodded, "Yes, it's you, Professor Constantine."
"If you hadn't been so selfless and shared some empirical and theoretical results proving the arithmetic prime conjecture at the conference, I would never have been able to get inspiration from it. Not to mention, you could have proved the remaining half of the arithmetic prime conjecture in one go!
"
"You and I must be aware of the significance of the proof of the arithmetic prime conjecture to the entire number theory community. Professor Constantine can be so selfless, not hiding the research results, but making them public during the conference!"
“With such courage, he deserves to be the winner of this year’s Philippine Award!”
Every time Gu Lu said a word, Constantine's heart twitched.
Gu Lu is really the one who doesn’t open the pot!
I've mentioned it before.
The reason why Constantine was so bold was to make it public at the conference after completing only half of the proof of the arithmetic prime conjecture.
That comes from having strong confidence in yourself.
He was confident that no one would be the first to arrive and complete the complete proof of the arithmetic prime conjecture before him.
But it turns out.
Constantine was overconfident.
Gu Lu appeared and easily snatched away the fruits of his victory.
As a result, when people now mention the arithmetic prime conjecture, the first thing that comes to mind is Gu Lü.
As for the second one, he is Constantine who comes to mind.
Constantine regretted it to death now.
Had he known this, Constantine would not have shown off with the half-finished proof process.
If you don't pretend, you almost become Sabi.
Although Gu Lu's words just now were full of praise for him, Constantine sounded very harsh.
That was Gu Lu rubbing salt into his wounds.
Gu Lu is still praising Constantine, "I think Constantine has made indelible contributions to the world of number theory, or the entire world of mathematics."
"When future generations mention this matter, besides me, your name, Professor Constantine, will also be mentioned!"
"The arithmetic prime number conjecture has been proven. If you ask me, I should give you half of the credit!"
Constantine: "???"
I should have half of this credit!
But in terms of merit, Constantine is worth more than half.
But no one thinks so.
The outside world only knows that Gu Lu put together the other half of the puzzle of the arithmetic prime number conjecture, and most of the credit goes to Gu Lu.
As for who put together the first half of the puzzle, no one paid attention.
So Constantine became a background character.
Constantine felt that if there was an annual competition in mathematics, he would definitely be on the list!
Chapter completed!
