Chapter 414: Steady Hand, Good at Pretending

Monday, October 11.

Outside the classroom, Xu Qingzhou pulled up his collar. After two rains at the beginning of the month, the temperature in Boston dropped sharply. Now he could feel a slight chill even when wearing a coat.

Although the aisles were not full of people like in the second period, the seats in the classroom were still full.

There are many familiar faces.

Sun Simin, Dino Connelly, Mars and other students in the class, except for the 22 students who chose this course, the others were people who were interested in prime numbers and came to take the class.

There was a man called Clyde Green. Xu Qingzhou had a good impression of him. He was a man of few words and had a messy hair. He was probably a math enthusiast.

Not only MIT, but also neighboring schools like Harvard and Boston University have students coming here to study.

The most different thing is that there is a familiar figure in the corner by the window, Song Yao.

School beauty Song is on vacation this afternoon, but she can't stay idle at home, so she insists on coming to the classroom to listen to Teacher Xu's lecture.

Of course, Xu Qingzhou understood that Song Yao probably saw that he had been staying at home for many days and now finally went out, so she wanted to accompany him for a walk outside.

Having a girlfriend who is always worried about his sudden death is actually quite good. Just talking about his health, he is many times stronger than before.

No longer the weakling that I used to be.

Moreover, this girl started to act out the plot. When she went downstairs, she didn't come in with him. Instead, she quickened her pace and slipped into the classroom early.

When Xu Qingzhou came in, the classroom gradually became quiet, and then there was the sound of flipping notebooks. Xu Qingzhou glanced at Song Yao in front of the window without leaving a trace.

Song Yao is bare-faced today, without any makeup, but she has fair skin to begin with, so she has a different kind of beauty without makeup. On top of her beauty, there is also a sense of brokenness that makes people feel pity for her.

It makes people want to bully.

But only Xu Qingzhou understood that all the weakness was fake. This girl had even beaten him on the sofa in the morning because he had said, "Have you gained weight?"

He withdrew his gaze unnoticeably, walked calmly onto the stage, greeted everyone, and officially began the class.

"In the previous section, our counting function π(x, z) calculated an integer that satisfies special conditions, thus obtaining the proportionality constant M=(e^γ/2)^2. Since in (5) we are discussing the number of pairs of two integers that simultaneously satisfy special conditions."

On the stage, the young man spoke eloquently and his clear voice echoed in the classroom.

Everyone in the audience was concentrating intently, their eyes fixed on the formula on the whiteboard.

By the window, Song Yao rested her chin on her hand, looking at the young man on the stage.

These contents were not difficult. She would occasionally read Xu Qingzhou's manuscripts, and it seemed that she could understand them thoroughly if she put a little effort.

If she also studied mathematics.
Well, I still have to be pinned down by this pervert.

The formulas in the proof of the twin prime conjecture are so complicated that they make people a little desperate. I really don’t know how this guy came up with them.

Halfway through the class, many people started taking pictures of the formulas on the whiteboard with their mobile phones.

Song Yao also held up her cell phone, but the difference was that she was taking pictures of Xu Qingzhou, and she planned to send them to his two pairs of parents who were far away in Xia Country in the evening.

This guy is quite charming when he is serious.

For example, the two little girls with Xia Guo faces next door have shining eyes. Are they here to attend the class? They keep taking photos and checking in with their mobile phones.

Unfortunately, this guy is already taken.

The class ended smoothly and Xu Qingzhou left 20 minutes to answer questions from classmates.

"Mr. Xu, you are studying the Riemann hypothesis. Would you mind telling us about your progress?" The first person to ask the question was the boy with messy hair named "Clyde Greene".

Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qingzhou, and it could be seen that they were also looking forward to this question.

Xu Qingzhou did not hide it and said with a smile: "For now, I plan to solve the Landau-Siegel zero point problem first."

As soon as Xu Qingzhou finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became lively.

Anyone who studies prime numbers knows about the Landau-Siegel zero. After all, it is definitely the central problem of analytic number theory and the entire number theory. After the classroom quieted down, Xu Qingzhou continued, "As for the details, I think everyone can look forward to it."

"Do you mean to solve the Landau-Siegel zero problem?" Clyde Green said with a little excitement.

Today, the academic community is almost divided into two camps. A considerable number of people believe that it is impossible to solve the Riemann hypothesis. To sum up, they are despairing about the current mathematical tools.

Naturally, there is also a group of people who have a good attitude and have high expectations for Xu Qingzhou, believing that this talented young man will create miracles again.

And he belongs to the latter.

Things are in constant motion, change and development, and so is mathematics.

Others in the audience also showed surprised expressions on their faces. Does this mean that the problem is almost solved?

Xu Qingzhou laughed and said, "I think that for people who study mathematics, they cannot make a 100% guarantee before they have completely solved a person's problem."

Although he is now 95% sure, he still plans to play it safe and give everyone some buffer space.

Clyde Green nodded slightly, said thank you, packed up and left.

"Senior Xu, I have a question."

Sun Simin came up holding a stack of manuscripts.

Xu Qingzhou took the manuscript and read the question. An idea quickly came to his mind. He said in a deep voice: "You can try to differentiate it. This will give an inequality. Maybe you can find that the ratio of the sum function of number theory functions to x always has an upper bound."

Sun Simin nodded from time to time and wrote down anything difficult to understand.

Sun Simin looked at Xu Qingzhou with a fiery gaze. He had been thinking about the question for two days, but this senior got the answer with just one glance.

"At the end, you'll get a weighted average. After that, I want you to figure it out on your own."

Xu Qingzhou stopped there.

"Thank you, senior!"

Xu Qingzhou smiled and shook his head. Sun Simin left and Mars came up again.

As usual, after most of the students had left, the scholars waiting on the side could not wait to take their manuscripts to discuss with Xu Qingzhou.

About 15 minutes later, as the last young man left, there were soon only two people left in the classroom.

Song Yao came over, put her arm on the podium, her eyes sparkling, and said in a pinched voice, "Teacher Xu, I also have a question to ask."

"Let's find a quiet place so that Teacher Xu can have an in-depth discussion with you." Xu Qingzhou cooperated very well and reached out to hook Song Yao's chin.

Song Yao slapped Xu Qingzhou's claws away and stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"Pervert."

Xu Qingzhou had already put the manuscript into his bag and said with a smile, "What you said is wrong. We are exchanging knowledge about the economic model you talked about yesterday. Why did it become so lascivious? Or have you thought of something else?"

"I was thinking about how to torture you."

"Pay attention to your character. You are now a weak, powerless little girl."

Xu Qingzhou grabbed Song Yao's hand and squeezed it.

"Then you can do whatever you want." Song Yao sneered.

"That requires your cooperation."

"How do you want me to cooperate?"

"At night. Hiss, if it's not possible, then it's not possible. What are you doing?"
