Chapter 402 Sleepless Night in Princeton!
That night, a piece of news quietly circulated in Princeton University circles.
"Sim, have you heard that Qin Ke, a freshman from Xia State, proved two prime number propositions again!"
"Xia Kingdom? That ancient country in the East? What else can those yellow-skinned monkeys do besides making tea and ceramics? Prove the prime number proposition? Are you kidding me?"
"Hey, man, you should have left your old-fashioned impression in Java a long time ago. That Qin Ke is the mathematical genius who proved the twin prime number conjecture!"
"I think about it, and I have indeed heard about this, but don't everyone say that this is Xia Guo's 'creating a god' and that it is a lie!?"
"No, no, I think the proof of the twin prime conjecture is probably true. Mathematics is too talent-based. There are always some super geniuses who cannot use common sense to speculate and will refresh our understanding. At least an hour ago, this Qin Ke
Just in our Tiger Bar at Princeton University, we solved two world-class propositions!"
"Two world-class propositions were killed? Which two propositions?"
“‘There are infinitely many Mersenne primes’ and ‘There are infinitely many Fibonacci primes’.”
"It's absolutely impossible. I'm not familiar with the Fibonacci sequence, but I know the Mersenne primes. I heard my instructor say a few days ago that I'm afraid I won't be able to find the exact answer to the question of whether the Mersenne primes are infinite in twenty years.
Got it!"
"Don't believe it? The Internet is going crazy now. You can see for yourself by opening Twitter and Facebook. There are videos about Qin Ke everywhere. I heard that this miracle boy from Xia Kingdom will be around tonight.
We ran a few laps on the main campus of Pudong University, and then we were inspired and proved these two propositions in one go, which took less than half an hour in total!"
"My God, even if Euler resurrected Gauss and returned to the world, he wouldn't dare to brag like this, right? He solved these two propositions in less than half an hour? He also ran a few laps around the main road of our school, which must be seven or eight kilometers.
?It’s so cold outside! I don’t believe it.”
"That's why it's amazing! Several people in our class watched him run and prove the two prime number propositions! And Professor Faltings, Professor Andrew, and Professor Linden Strauss were also present! Qin Ke
Successfully proved these two propositions, which Professor Faltings personally admitted! There is a video to prove it!"
"Professor Faltings? This is unbelievable...I'll go online and check it out!"
"Hey, I'll just send you the link. There are a lot of related videos on YouTube. I've watched a dozen of them, and they feel very cool. So cool! I'm now very interested in that mysterious Eastern country! The day after tomorrow.
I will definitely attend the report!"
…
Similar conversations spread wildly at Princeton University. Many people were so surprised that they could not even sleep and crawled online all night long to search for related videos.
As time marches into a new day, there are more than 500 related videos on the Internet. Among them, the video "Genius" edited by the burgundy-haired female student Frieda was uploaded to YouTube at 00:15 in the morning.
It is to create miracles in madness! The magical boy from the East proved two great propositions at the Tiger Bar!" The most attracting attention.
In the video, Frieda recorded a narration in a tone that could not contain her excitement: "This is so amazing and incredible that I probably won't be able to sleep after witnessing the whole process! Believe me, this video is definitely the coolest one you have ever seen.
A video that's more captivating than this summer's Rugby Grand Final!"
"The story started more than three hours ago. At that time, I just left the bar with Borzigit and several other classmates in the class, and then I saw an Oriental boy running past us..."
"We all thought it was incredible and funny. How cold is it tonight? At most 5 degrees Celsius. Running at night in such weather, we all laughed at whether this Oriental boy was stupid..."
"I also remembered the story told by my classmate Xu Zeng. Xu said that this oriental boy named Qin Ke proved the twin prime conjecture during long-distance running, so I jokingly said, 'I'm afraid he will prove it again.
What a world-class conjecture... As a result, I actually got it right! Some people now call me 'Frieda the Prophecy', which feels great!"
"But I was right or wrong, because the Oriental Boy did not prove a world-class conjecture, but two world-class propositions! This was achieved by two Filipinos, Professor Faltings and Professor Linden Strauss.
Award Master’s recognition!”
"Oh, forgive me for being a little incoherent. I'm still in a state of excitement. Let me first go back to the location of this story, which is in the Tiger Bar that many of us like. I believe that the Tiger Bar will definitely be grateful to this oriental boy.
Because of him, the reputation of Tiger Bar will soon spread around the world. Maybe many people will come to Tiger Bar to remember that miraculous moment where the Oriental Boy once stood to prove two world-class propositions..."
"Of course, I think the World Long Distance Running Association will be more grateful to this oriental boy. In the future, long distance running may become the most popular sport in our university!"
"Next, please watch the video I carefully edited to record the entire incredible process!"
"..."
"...That's it for the video. Let me say it again for the last time. The oriental boy named Qin Ke is so handsome. I never thought that a boy holding a pen could be so handsome and powerful. I feel like I'm falling in love with him.
Khan bends down to prove the world's difficult problems! Oh, the magical Eastern country, the magical Eastern boy! 'Frieda the Prophecy' has another prophecy. I think Qin Ke will be the well-deserved protagonist of our academic lecture at the University of Science and Technology.
And win this year’s Best Report Award!”
As the cheerleader of the Princeton University football team, Frieda is quite famous at Princeton University. Her edited video quickly became popular on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, causing a huge sensation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Countless barrages almost drowned the video.
[Wonderful! After watching the entire video, I came here for the second time. With one person and one pen, sweating profusely, in just twenty minutes, I gave the whole world the answer to the two prime number problem! It’s so cool! I’m so
I can understand Frieda’s mood! As long as this oriental boy is willing, my door will be open for him at any time!]
[I just ran a lap for field testing. The lap of the main school road is about 3100 meters, which is 3.1 kilometers. It took nearly 20 minutes. I was so cold that my face turned blue. This miracle boy from the East
Is it a magical kungfu? Otherwise, how could you run three or four laps in such a temperature without freezing?】
[Amazing! I didn’t believe the rumors at first, but now I believe them after watching the video. No one can lie in front of Professor Faltings, Professor Linden-Strauss, Professor Andrew and Professor Thomson
!]
[Amazing! Shocking! Overcoming two world problems in one breath, a miracle from the Eastern Kingdom! 】
[The coolest thing is that Professor Faltings made an exception for him. At the annual academic report meeting of our General University, no scholar has been able to give a report for an hour and a half in a hundred years! This oriental boy did it! 】
[For the first time, I admired Xia’s mathematicians with admiration!]
[Guys, cheers, cheers to this magical oriental boy!]
[I tried to prove these two propositions, but found that it was impossible to do so. I had to accept that there are indeed real super geniuses in the world who are superior to us mortals!]
[Frieda’s first prediction came true, I think I’m starting to fall in love with long-distance running now!]
[Upstairs, long-distance running is a paradise for geniuses. If you are not a genius, there is no point in vomiting while running!]
[Qin Ke first proved the twin prime conjecture, and now he has proved that there are infinite Mersenne prime numbers and infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence. Does Professor Thomson feel a lot of pressure? This year's Cole Prize in number theory...
It seems that it cannot fall on his head.】
[When Professor Andrew shouted, 'He...he wants to continue to prove that there are infinite prime numbers in the Fibonacci sequence', I almost slipped off my chair. It was so unexpected! At the same time, there was a strong stimulation from my back.
Get up and go straight to your brain, my god, Frieda is right, this oriental boy is so cool!]
[The moment I saw him fall, I almost cried! Applause rang out! It’s so great, this is the figure climbing towards the peak of science! I suddenly have the motivation to study again! I will stay up all night tonight!]
[Hey, the organizing committee of the academic lecture just issued a notice overnight. Qin Ke’s 45-minute lecture originally scheduled for 10 o’clock this morning has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled to 8:30 tomorrow morning. The duration is one and a half hours. Faltings
The professor decided it himself, and the report topics became three! Everything is true! It’s not a rumor, nor a dream!]
The hot discussion and sensation on the Internet soon reflected in reality. The name "Qin Ke", a boy from Xia State, swept through the entire Princeton University like a whirlwind. From the president to faculty to ordinary students, almost no one knew it.
People don’t know!
Tickets for the first lecture on the morning of January 6 have become the most sought-after items. This small ticket, which was originally free and could be obtained by ordinary students as long as they applied, was actually sold for two hundred dollars, and it was often sold.
The price is very low, so many students who cannot get tickets plan to bring their own small stools or even plan to queue up early to get a seat.
This night will be a sleepless night for Princeton!
…
"Yes, don't worry, we have asked the school doctor from Pudong University to check. Qin Ke is fine, but he was too tired and fell asleep, just like after the last military training long-distance run... Chen Ming is taking care of him now."
In the Peacock Hotel, around one o'clock in the morning, Sun Liwen was on the phone with Vice President Gu Bojun of Qingmu University via international long distance.
"Qin Ke's notebook at that time? I gave it to Teacher Zheng and Mr. Chen Ming for safekeeping. They are keeping it and will never lose it. Moreover, I videotaped the whole process...Video file? I just copied a copy to the computer and am currently working on it."
Uploading to our school's FTP, the network speed is a bit slow, please wait for another hour or so, then you can download it."
"Qin Ke's report has indeed been rescheduled. It will be rescheduled to 8:30 tomorrow morning. I will notify Qin Ke when he wakes up. Apply for the live broadcast rights of Qin Ke's report? Understand, I will contact the team here immediately
Committee, strive to apply for this live broadcast right. OK, don’t worry, I will definitely go all out. This is a battle related to the honor of our school in the world of academic circles. As a member of Qingmu University, it is my duty to do so!
"
After finishing the long-distance call, Sun Liwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little weak all over.
Qin Ke made so much noise that he didn't dare to hide it. After settling Qin Ke, he quickly made a long-distance call back to the school to report.
The school leader directly under him is Wei Yuanfu, the director of the mathematics department. Wei Yuanfu was still drinking tea in the school. When he heard the news, he couldn't even hold the teacup firmly and it fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He didn't bother to clean it up.
He shouted directly, "Sun Liwen, don't hang up the phone. All long-distance charges will be reimbursed by the department." Then he rushed anxiously to find Gu Bojun, the vice principal in charge of teaching management.
Thanks to his middle-aged stature, he could still run so fast. He ran from the office of the mathematics department to Principal Gu's office in just a few minutes.
Principal Gu was still talking about work with several professors. Wei Yuanfu didn't bother to disturb him anymore. He reported the matter in a low voice while wiping his sweat. As expected, Gu Bojun immediately took his phone and spoke directly to Sun Yat-sen over there.
During the dialogue, Li Wen repeatedly instructed to do three things no matter what: first, take good care of Qin Ke and not let any accidents happen to Qin Ke, which is the first priority; second, protect Qin Ke's academic achievements and not lose them;
The third is to do a good job in taking photos and recording, and to obtain the right to live broadcast on the Internet, so that Qingmu University can truly feel proud and proud.
