Lu Zhou did not expect that after the news of the report meeting was released, there would be such a violent repercussion in the mathematical community.

What especially made him laugh and cry was that the hundreds of admission tickets left in front of him that were not linked to passport information were actually hung up on Amazon, as well as places like Xianyu.

And the price seems to be expensive.

If he hadn't suddenly remembered that he couldn't spend all his money, he would have wanted to "operate" in person.

“…… The number of registration information has exceeded 20,000, and this is the third day," After telling Lu Zhou about the registration, Dean Qin, who came to Lu Zhou's office, couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "...... It's terrifying, and those who don't know are afraid that next year's International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in advance here in Jinling. ”

Lu Zhou smiled slightly apologetically and said.

"I'm sorry for your trouble."

Dean Qin waved his hand and said with a smile, "What's the trouble?" I'd love for you to hold a few more sessions of this kind of report meeting, and trouble me a few more times! You don't know how much Shui Mu Yanda envies us. Wang Shicheng, that old guy, has come to me more than once to explore the wind, and he hollowed out his mind and asked us to go to their Yan University Mathematics Center to hold a game. You said that we don't lack funds or land, so why bother others? ”

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "It makes sense for you to say this, then there will be a lot of trouble in the future." ”

"I raised my hands to welcome," Dean Qin smiled and continued: "By the way, I found that the more than 100 tickets we released earlier seem to have been sold on the Internet, and it just so happens that our registration system has also been updated, why don't you just cancel these 100 or so tickets that do not register passport information?" ”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and shook his head.

"No need, since we released those tickets, it's not good to suddenly regret it."

If Jinling University intends to build itself into a world-class mathematics center, it is better to do less of this kind of disgraceful thing.

Moreover, he was quite curious about who would buy these tickets.

After the last time he held a briefing, the auditorium of the old campus has been widened to a certain extent, and now it can accommodate two or three thousand people at the same time.

In addition to the more than 200 admission qualifications sent out by invitation, there are still more than 2,000 admission places left, and as long as the academic qualifications are passed, you will definitely be able to get the admission qualifications through registration.

At least, scholars who are really engaged in research in this field will definitely be able to get it.

After all, it is a question of whether there are 2,000 people studying the direction of the Riemann conjecture in total, not to mention the research ideas of the "critical zone" in the unpopular, and the quasi-Riemann conjecture in the partial door.

Suddenly, Lu Zhou thought of a possibility.

Don't......

Are all these people coming for me?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and unconsciously touched his handsome cheek with his right hand.

How embarrassing is that......

Dean Qin: "......?" ”

……

Discussions on Mathoverflow are still unfolding, ranging from the validity of Lu Zhou's previous paper on the "quasi-Riemann conjecture" to the upcoming presentation in Jinling in a little more than a week.

Because of Mr. Faltins, although they had doubts about the paper before, but did not dare to say much because of Lu Zhou's own academic prestige, they also jumped out one after another, and those who supported Lu Zhou's proof...... Even academics, who are ready to cite, quarrel on the forum.

What even the administrators of the Mathoverflow forum didn't expect was that the controversy over the quasi-Riemann conjecture would quadruple the number of visits to this unknown niche forum.

You know, generally only relatively young scholars will go to this forum. And some older and more stubborn scholars don't like and disdain to use the Internet to brag and fart.

But now, seeing that many elderly bulls have registered accounts and become keyboard warriors on the forum. The webmasters of Mathoverflow don't know whether to cry or laugh......

The seven-day registration deadline is fast.

After selecting suitable candidates, Jinling University sent invitations in turn according to the list.

The price of the 100 or so tickets for the report that was previously leaked seems to have been speculated to $50,000 each. And this also makes many people who have successfully obtained the admission qualification have a feeling of earning.

For this report meeting, Lu Zhou also made some preparations.

Faltins was a powerful scholar, both in terms of academic prestige and academic achievement, and some people called him the first person after Grothendieck.

It was not easy to convince him.

Unless, make your own logic impeccable!

Just as Lu Zhou was seriously preparing for this report meeting, an unexpected visitor suddenly visited Jinling University and came to visit him.

This visitor is none other than that.

It is Professor Zhang Shouwu, a Daben-level scholar in the Chinese mathematics community and a personal disciple of Professor Faltings. His research on the Gross-Chakia formula is quite outstanding, and he has won the Morningside Mathematics Gold Award, which is known as the "Chinese Fields Medal".

Under the introduction of Dean Qin, Lu Zhou met Professor Zhang.

The two sat down at the coffee table, and after a pleasant exchange, the conversation quickly turned to the upcoming report meeting.

“…… Is there any misunderstanding between Academician Lu and Professor Faltings? ”

Hearing Professor Zhang Shouwu suddenly throw this question, Lu Zhou, who was drinking tea, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

"How is that possible...... Why do you say that? ”

"It's not that I say that, but the mathematical community is spreading it like this," Professor Zhang shook his head and continued to persuade, "It is better to settle the dispute than to settle the dispute, not to mention that both of them are the pillars of the mathematical community." If there is really any misunderstanding between Academician Lu and Professor Faltings, although the contemptible person is soft-spoken, he still hopes to contribute to the harmony between the international mathematical community and the domestic mathematical community, and mediate for the two of them. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Professor Zhang is serious...... As for those rumors, they are just some people. ”

Professor Zhang hesitated and continued: "Although I may not say this, you chose the time to hold the report meeting...... Isn't it a little too hasty? ”

Lu Zhou shook his head.

"There is no such thing as being hasty or not, I don't think there is a problem with my proof, Professor Faltings thinks there is a problem, in that case, it would be good for us to communicate clearly at the briefing."

Zhang Shouwu was a little anxious and said, "But what if you lose?" Not only your academic reputation, but also the academic reputation of the Chinese mathematics community will be affected as a result, have you considered this? ”

Lu Zhou smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Is there a win or loss here?"

Slightly stunned, Professor Zhang was silent for a while, and then sighed.

"Looks like you've made up your mind."

Lu Zhou smiled and asked, "Did Professor Zhang come to persuade me?" ”

Professor Zhang nodded, but then shook his head again, sighed softly, and said.

"That's what I was going to do at first, but now I've dismissed it."

"Maybe you're right, the so-called academic reputation is just something that doesn't matter, and the only thing that a scholar really deserves to hold on to is what he thinks is right."

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, and his tone was a little admiration and emotion.

"I'm finally starting to understand why you've been able to achieve such an amazing thing."

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

Although I don't quite understand what he really understands.

But I always feel ......

At this time, it seems that it is superfluous to say anything other than smile......
