Qin Ke said with a smile: "The teachers in our school are afraid that we will be kidnapped and trafficked when we come to a foreign country where we are not familiar with the place. Then the parents will make trouble with the school and the school will not be able to take responsibility."

Professor Tao shook his head and said, "I heard that you are still freshmen now? Your school is so strict. If you were at our University of California, you could at least get a doctorate in mathematics.

"Actually, when school starts in half a month, we will officially be promoted to sophomore year."

"How can you be a sophomore at your level? Are you interested in teaching at the University of California? I can serve as a recommender. The mathematics department of the University of California is ranked among the top seven in the world, so it is a good choice."

Qin Ke smiled and said: "We study physics."

Professor Tao knew that Qin Ke declined and sighed: "What a pity. I think we should be a good partner with you. By the way, are you studying the hail conjecture?"

"Yes, Professor Tao, you are also an expert in this field."

Professor Tao spread his hands and said: "In fact, I failed." He explained his proof idea at that time without any secret, and then said:

"I have found that almost all orbits with relevant mappings can converge to the smallest natural number 1, but I cannot be sure that all orbits can be proved in the same way. This involves the estimation problem of the probability interval of the mapping triangle, which under the current conditions

, is unsolvable.”

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun listened with great concentration. They had also read Professor Tao's paper at that time, but they still benefited a lot from hearing him describe his ideas.

I just heard Professor Tao say again: "When I found that the hail conjecture was really not something I could solve, I basically gave up. But after listening to your report yesterday, I suddenly had new inspiration. I think your 'Lime'

The number theory hypergeometric mapping method' may not be able to prove this world-class problem."

Qin Ke's heart skipped a beat. Professor Tao was indeed a super genius. It took him almost four months to come up with a feasible idea and transform this hail conjecture into the "Ling Lemon Number Theory Hypergeometric Mapping Method".

Unexpectedly, Professor Tao also thought of the problem to be solved.

But I heard Professor Tao sigh again: "But I just have a vague idea. I tried it last night, but there was no result. Your 'Lime Number Theory Hypergeometric Mapping Method' is not easy to master. I want to really use it freely.

, it will take at least one or two years. I think you can give it a try, after all, when it comes to this new mathematical processing method, no one in the world can match you."

At this point, he showed a sincere smile: "By the way, your report yesterday was very exciting. Congratulations in advance to you, this year's winner of the Cole Prize for Number Theory."

At this time, the food started to be served, and the three of them chatted while eating. The topics were naturally related to mathematics. In addition to talking about the hail conjecture, they also talked about the cutting-edge academic achievements in the current mathematics world, including Professor Tao's own research direction.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun once again realized how powerful the "mathematical all-rounder" Professor Tao really is. Professor Tao is good at many fields of mathematics. He is almost an all-rounder in mathematics. Even if he is not proficient in mathematics, he still knows a thing or two.

But what was even more surprising was Professor Tao.

Ning Qingyun's profound knowledge and spirituality in number theory surprised him. What really made him feel unbelievable was Qin Ke!

No matter what direction or sub-field he talked about, Qin Ke could follow his thinking and answer questions fluently.

This young mathematician from Xia State was even more knowledgeable than him in terms of mathematical knowledge. Even if he asked about some very unknown and unfamiliar knowledge, Qin Ke could still answer the questions and he really understood.

!

This is true 360-degree mastery of all subjects without blind spots!

Professor Tao couldn't help but sigh that young people are terrible.

Little did he know that Qin Ke has now basically completed master-level absorption of mathematical knowledge, and his depth of knowledge in various subjects of mathematics is no less than that of most university professors.

Qin Ke is now a true master of mathematics.

After the dinner, the three of them became very familiar with each other. Professor Tao not only exchanged email addresses with the two of them, but also gave them his personal phone number and agreed to contact them more when he had time and collaborate on the project.

In the next few days, Professor Tao sat with Qin Ke in almost every lecture, and also introduced him to senior figures in the American mathematics community, further broadening the relationship between the two.

On the last day of the academic seminar, the award ceremony began.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun unsurprisingly took home the second international award in their lives, the Cole Prize for Number Theory.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have won the 'Kehl Award for Number Theory'. The system has rated your 'score' as 'S'. The 'scores make me improve' function has taken effect. Your math points are 1,000!"

Qin Ke secretly clenched his fist. In this way, the upgrade progress of the mathematics subject became 0.

We are getting closer and closer to the next level of Grandmaster.

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded again:

"Ding! You have a new mission for the God of Learning!"

"Dingdong! God of Learning mission update, 'Please continue to win more mathematics awards'!"

"Please continue to win more mathematics awards: The host has already won two international mathematics awards. Please continue to work hard and strive to win five more international mathematics awards that are equivalent to or higher than the 'Kehl's Number Theory Award'!"

"Task reward: Your academic points (mathematics) are 5,000! An additional reward is a mysterious gift pack!"
