The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 203, Wang Duoyu is sick, Shura Field?

On March 16, 1982, hundreds of Chinese and foreign mathematics enthusiasts gathered in the lecture hall of the Mathematics Department of Harbin Institute of Technology where the seminar was held, and listened to the lecture very attentively.

Because Wang Duoyu appeared here today, it was a very sudden thing and everyone was very surprised.

After all, more than a month has passed since the start of this semester, and this is the first time that Wang Duoyu has appeared in a seminar.

Even without prior notice, the entire lecture hall was packed with people in less than half an hour.

William Thurston, Gerd Faltings, Andrew Wiles and others were all there, not to mention Yang Nianzhen and the other six disciples, who were already sitting in the first row listening attentively.

On the podium, Wang Duoyu shared some of the topics he is currently researching, and gave detailed answers to some mathematical problems currently being discussed.

In one afternoon, Wang Duoyu stood on the podium for three and a half hours, and only went to the bathroom once.

From number theory to topology, then to prime numbers, and then to geometry and algebra, Wang Duoyu talked about almost all branches of mathematics.

After answering most of the questions, Wang Duoyu was ready to leave, but everyone seemed reluctant to let him go, and many still raised their hands to ask questions.

There were also many people gathered at the door of the lecture hall, and Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi were among them.

The two of them looked at Wang Duoyu on the podium and then saw the young students below who were eager to learn. The shock in their hearts was beyond words.

No matter what the outside world says, it is better to see it for yourself.

At just one glance, you can tell why Wang Duoyu has such a high status in the mathematics community.

There were many students in the tiered classroom, and they filled the aisles.

Although this has little to do with the tiered classroom, after all, the tiered classroom can only accommodate about 150 people to attend classes, that's all.

But even for such an ordinary class, more than three hundred people were squeezed in. If we count the places like the classroom door and the aisles outside, the total number of people is four hundred or even more.

At this time, after a student asked a question, Wang Duoyu suddenly smiled and said:

"That's a very good question. I've been studying the geometric Langlands conjecture recently, so let me briefly talk about the Fourier unbounded transform."

"Let me first briefly explain this mathematical tool. The Fourier unbounded transform is a mathematical tool used in algebraic geometry. It is mainly used to study the mapping relationship between objects in the derived category. By mapping one object to another, it establishes a connection between geometric objects and their coherent complexes."

"Specifically, let XX and YY be two smooth projective clusters, and Db(X)Db(X) and Db(Y)Db(Y) be the categories of bounded complexes on XX and YY respectively."

In front of the blackboard, Wang Duoyu began to write the mathematical symbols while orally describing this mathematical tool.

Wiles and others in the audience immediately focused and listened carefully, because this part was very important. They even thought that this part could be written into a paper.

As a result, Wang Duoyu spoke about it at the seminar.

This tool is actually not very complicated, but not many students can understand its meaning.

As math idiots, Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi were completely confused.

Even many mathematics students nearby did not understand what he said. They frowned and tried hard to understand, but Wang Duoyu spoke at a normal speed and their brains could not keep up.

The CPU was smoking, but it just couldn't keep up with Wang Duoyu's speed.

This is mathematics. If you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. There is no point in forcing yourself to understand it.

Yang Nianzhen and the others listened attentively, and at the same time they began to wonder in their hearts: Could it be that the teacher has already proved this conjecture?

They were overthinking it. Wang Duoyu had only solved some simple problems first, which had nothing to do with proving the geometric Langlands conjecture.

After Wang Duoyu finished his presentation, the entire classroom fell into an eerie silence until Yang Nianzhen and the others applauded. Then the entire classroom erupted in thunderous applause, which soon became like thunder.

Everyone stood up involuntarily, as if he had proved some great conjecture.

In fact, he just proposed the mathematical tool of Fourier unbounded transform, which is nothing special.

Because in classical Fourier analysis, a process called Fourier transform is used to create a correspondence between two different ways of thinking about wave patterns.

On one side of this correspondence are the waves themselves, collectively called the wave side, which includes simple sine waves as well as complex waves composed of multiple sine waves.

The other side of the correspondence is the spectrum of the cosine wave, which is the spectral side in mathematics.

The Fourier transform goes back and forth between these two sides; in one direction, it decomposes the wave into its set of frequencies, and in the other direction, it reconstructs the wave from its component frequencies.

This ability to convert data in both directions enables countless applications, because without it, we would not have modern telecommunications, signal processing, magnetic resonance imaging, or many other necessities of modern life.

Earlier, Robert Langlands proposed that similar transformations also occurred in the number theory and function field fields of the Rosetta Stone, but the waves and frequencies here were more complicated.

Therefore, from the analysis of these situations, we can see that there is still a long way to go to prove the geometric Langlands conjecture.

Even though Wang Duoyu had already proved the Fermat conjecture long ago, he can be said to be the most powerful researcher in the Langlands Program, without a doubt.

However, it was impossible for him to prove the geometric Langlands conjecture in a short period of time.

In the auditorium where the seminar was held, everyone was applauding excitedly, but Wang Duoyu seemed a little tired and waved goodbye to everyone.

Both Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi saw Wang Duoyu, but there were too many people, and everyone consciously made way for him and watched him leave.

As a result, neither of them was able to greet Wang Duoyu at all.

When they returned to the villa, Wang Duoyu was already very tired. Liu Xiaoli, who had prepared everything early and had already taken the medicine, wanted to have a drink with Wang Duoyu.

In the end, he didn't eat anything. He just ate a piece of chocolate, drank some water, and then went back to his room and fell asleep.

He didn't even do the daily homework that he gave to Wang Meili and her two sisters.

Liu Xiaoli and the other three women looked at each other in bewilderment. Liu Xiaoli, in particular, asked in shock, "Did they discover I drugged them?"

Outside the villa, several security staff members were enduring very hardship. Did they drug them?

How could he give her the chance to drug him?
When Liu Xiaoli and the others were discussing the implementation plan, the security staff had already found out and replaced the knockout drug prepared by Liu Xiaoli with flour.

No matter what it is, a knockout drug is still a drug, and it definitely cannot be given to him.

If anything goes wrong, the security staff cannot bear the consequences.

So the best way is to eliminate this matter at the source.

"I think should not be?"

The two sisters Wang Meili and Wang Meihe shook their heads in confusion. They didn't know either.

In fact, they agreed with Liu Xiaoli that they just needed to get their ninth brother drunk and not use the knockout drug, but Liu Xiaoli insisted on using it because the knockout drug was actually an aphrodisiac and had a mild nature.

The two sisters also went to the pharmacy to buy it, and asked Wang Meili's boyfriend Lu Qingsong to help find a teacher from the Department of Biomedical Sciences to test it. The medicine was indeed very mild.

The entire process was kept strictly confidential. Even Lu Qingsong didn't know about it, so it was highly likely that their ninth brother didn't know about it either.

When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she was suddenly confused and was still reflecting in her heart, wondering which link had gone wrong?

The security staff did not tell them about this matter, nor did they report it to Wang Duoyu, because Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang were also helping Liu Xiaoli.

First of all, regarding Wang Duoyu's medication, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang must be very dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoli and do not agree with this matter, but Liu Xiaoli is infatuated and is willing to make such a sacrifice.

So Liu Deben and the others pretended that this incident had never happened.

Secondly, this matter cannot be told to Wang Duoyu, because with his intelligence, once he knows about this, something bad will definitely happen.

By then, who knows what kind of harm Liu Xiaoli will suffer, and it may be even more impossible for Wang Duoyu to get married.

It is more in line with the current interests of Harbin Institute of Technology for Wang Duoyu to get married and have a stable family.

Although Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi had already arrived at Harbin Institute of Technology, Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang both knew that their target was Wang Duoyu.

But for Liu Deben and the others, Liu Xiaoli is more suitable.

The most important point is that it would be better to let Wang Duoyu make his own choice.

After all, the reason why he fled back to Harbin Institute of Technology in a panic a few days ago was that he was unwilling to have much contact with Lu Ruoxi and the others. Instead, after returning to Harbin Institute of Technology, even when he was "secluded", he allowed Liu Xiaoli to come and go of his house and let Liu Xiaoli help take care of his son.

This is also the reason why Liu Deben and others turned a blind eye to Liu Xiaoli's plan.

But there is one thing: both Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang would never agree to anything that would cause even the slightest harm to Wang Duoyu.

At this time, Wang Duoyu, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea about this.

The lecture he gave in the seminar lecture hall today really strained his brain.

So when he came back, he fell asleep immediately.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Wang Meihe and her sister were shocked because their ninth brother had not gotten up yet at this time?

"Be good, Junhong, your dad hasn't gotten up yet, don't cry, auntie will take you out to play, okay? We have a lawn outside where you can fly a kite."

It is still very cold outside in the ice city in March. If you want to go out to fly a kite, you definitely need to wear more clothes.

When the little guy heard that he could go out to play, he immediately forgot about his father and stopped crying. His aunt held his hand and took him outside.

In the room, Wang Duoyu had difficulty getting up and felt weak all over.

After finally forcing himself to sit up, he felt as if he had used up all his strength.

If his willpower wasn't strong enough, he would have collapsed by now.

"Oh my god, am I sick?"

Wang Duoyu, feeling completely exhausted, belatedly muttered to himself.

Just at this moment, Liu Xiaoli knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing his pale face, she immediately became concerned.

"Duoyu, are you okay? Oh, why is your forehead so hot? Are you sick? Lie down first."

Liu Xiaoli suddenly became anxious, her eyes soon turned red, and she hurriedly asked him to lie down first.

At the same time, he also did not forget to care if he felt uncomfortable anywhere.

In the living room, Wang Meili, who was studying, also stood up hurriedly. Her ninth brother's illness was a big deal and it was no joke.

"Sister Xiaoli, what happened to my brother?"

"Meili, go call and tell the doctor to come home to see your brother. Go quickly!"

Wang Duoyu was pressed on the bed and had difficulty speaking. He could only watch them move. Then his eyelids became very sleepy and he soon fell into a deep sleep again.

As soon as Wang Meili made this call, the leadership of Harbin Institute of Technology was alarmed.

When the doctors at the affiliated hospital learned that Wang Duoyu was sick, how could they dare to neglect him?
He immediately informed the head of the family, Liu Deben. Once Liu Deben knew about this, Lu Gongliang, Han Jue, Jin Lirong and others also knew about it.

So, in less than ten minutes, many people came to Wang Duoyu's house, and Wu Congqin and his wife also rushed over.

Lu Jiaxi, who lived not far next door, was also taken to Wang Duoyu's house by his wife Zhang Shuqin.

"Professor Luo, how is Duoyu?"

Outside the room, when Professor Luo Canghai from the Harbin Institute of Technology Affiliated Hospital walked out, Liu Deben immediately asked in a deep voice.

Wang Duoyu is the poster boy of Harbin Institute of Technology. He has a very high status in the university and everyone is very worried about his health.

At the same time, everyone was very confused. Wang Duoyu was only 26 years old and rarely got sick. Why did he suddenly get sick?
Regarding this point, when he rushed over just now, Liu Deben had already seriously questioned the security staff around Wang Duoyu, asking whether they had not kept a close eye on Liu Xiaoli?
The security staff felt wronged and quickly explained that they had checked again and again and found that the medicine Liu Xiaoli had put in had been replaced with flour, and Wang Duoyu had not eaten at all last night.

Oh, and by the way, he only ate a piece of chocolate and drank a glass of water, so that definitely wasn't the reason he got sick.

Liu Deben confirmed that the security staff did not lie, so he was even more confused. What exactly caused Wang Duoyu to fall ill?

But since Professor Luo Canghai is here, he will definitely know the specific situation.

"Please rest assured, Secretary. Professor Wang is fine. He's just exhausted. He's probably been working too hard lately. I heard he stood in the classroom for over four and a half hours, and he didn't eat last night."

"That's why his body is running low on energy. He'll just need a few days of rest. No medication is needed. Just let him relax more and pay more attention to his nutrition."

Hearing this, Liu Deben and others breathed a sigh of relief.

After thanking Luo Canghai, Liu Deben looked at the two sisters Wang Meihe and Wang Meili and said:
"Xiao He, Meili, you are both Professor Wang's sisters and his closest relatives. The task of taking care of him will now be handed over to you. And Comrade Liu Xiaoli, I hope you can take good care of Professor Wang."

Liu Xiaoli, who was standing behind Wang Meili and the others, felt quite guilty. When she heard this, she was immediately surprised and nodded heavily.

Liu Deben and his friends stayed at Wang Duoyu's house for a while before leaving with peace of mind.

After they left, Wu Congqin, Yang Xiuhua, Liu Taoshun and others arrived late. When they arrived, they did not see Wang Duoyu. They just chatted with Wang Meili and the other three for a few words, and then left.

He had no choice but to leave, because Professor Luo Canghai said that Wang Duoyu needed more rest and not be disturbed by so many people.

The six disciples including Yang Nianzhen, Yorkz, and Li Jianshu also came. They saw Wang Duoyu, but they just stood at the door of the room and took a look without coming closer to see.

In addition to them, William Thurston and others also came over because they also heard about Wang Duoyu's illness.

Wang Meihe and her sister stammered a few words to Wiles and his friends in their less than half-baked English, and then they heard Wiles and his friends speak relatively fluent Northeastern Mandarin, and finally Wang Meili and her sister breathed a sigh of relief.

If you ask them to speak Japanese or English, they definitely can't do it and are very nervous.

But if it is Northeastern dialect, there is no need to ask, there is no tension at all, and even the voice instantly evolves from steam train to Harmony high-speed rail, from gentle to rough, in just half a second.

"Oh my god, why are there so many people here?"

After finally sending away a group of foreigners, another group of foreigners came. Wang Meili and her two sisters and Liu Xiaoli and her three companions were suddenly in great pain.

Although there are three of them, they not only need to take care of Wang Duoyu and Wang Junhong, father and son, but also need to deal with these visiting guests. How can they not be tired?
Wang Duoyu was just sick, but they mobilized a lot of people and scared a lot of people.

It was not until this time that Wang Meili and the others had a more intuitive understanding of Wang Duoyu's influence.

After a long while, Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi finally arrived. They brought some food and medicine, but Wang Meili and the others did not take them.

When Liu Xiaoli saw Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi, her eyebrows raised immediately, and the sense of crisis in her heart instantly increased. The alarm was almost transmitted from her heart to the outside.

Her woman's intuition told her that Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi in front of her were definitely not simple people.

Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi also knew Liu Xiaoli's identity, so they were hostile towards the latter.

Shura field!
The two sisters Wang Meili and Wang Meihe looked at each other, took a step back, and waited to watch the show.

This matter doesn't seem simple. I wonder whether Sister Xiaoli will win the fight and become their sister-in-law, or whether she will be taken away by Lu Ruoxi or Yuan Xueyi?

Today's contest is only temporary. From the current perspective, Liu Xiaoli has a very high chance of winning. After all, the advantage she has is simply not comparable to that of Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi.

At twelve o'clock noon, Professor Luo Canghai came over again and gave Wang Duoyu another diagnosis.

The latter finally woke up at this time. Although he still didn't have much strength in his body, he was relatively better.

"Hey, Professor Luo, why are you in my house?"

Wang Duoyu was a little surprised to see a familiar stranger the moment he opened his eyes. "Professor Wang, you're sick. You shouldn't have stood on the podium for so long yesterday. And even though you were in seclusion during this period, you've obviously overused your brain. Don't do that again in the future."

After hearing what the other party said, Wang Duoyu nodded, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

Wasn't he like this when he was solving other mathematical conjectures before? I haven't seen him become sick from overusing his brain.

Could it be that because he stood for so long yesterday and didn't eat dinner, his brain wasn't getting enough blood and his body was being drained by his brain?

"Thank you, Professor Luo. I should be fine now, right?"

Wang Duoyu asked a question, and then learned from the other party that the situation was not bad, but he needed more rest and attention to nutrition. He then said he understood.

On weekdays, he pays great attention to his physical health. In order to live longer, his living and eating habits are very regular. Last night should be an exception.

Maybe, it was probably because I only ate one piece of chocolate last night, and I stood for such a long time before, and I overused my brain for a long time.

Especially the mathematical tool of Fourier unbounded transform that he proposed at the end. At that time, he had also derived part of the geometric Langlands conjecture in his mind, so this happened.

Now that he knows the reason, Wang Duoyu can solve this problem more effectively.

So, he really didn't go to the office for the next two days.

But he didn't stay at home. Instead, he took his son out for an outing and a stroll.

After all, they had agreed to relax, so he certainly wouldn't go against Professor Luo's words. Instead, he actually went out to stroll around and enjoy the scenery.

He didn't bring Liu Xiaoli with him, and asked his two sisters to stay at home, and only took his son with him.

In the ice city in mid-March, the spring atmosphere is not yet very strong and the temperature has not risen much. The daytime temperature should be around zero degrees and the nighttime temperature is around minus ten degrees.

So what can he do in this situation?
After relaxing for two days, Wang Duoyu entered the "seclusion" state again.

He didn't want to see Lu Ruoxi, and even more so didn't want to get to know Yuan Xueyi, because these were all troubles.

"Teacher, are you feeling well?"

When Wang Duoyu returned to the office, Yang Nianzhen and six other people came to the office to ask about his health.

"Well, I'm much better. Come on, if you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Wang Duoyu felt warm in his heart, and he also decided to be nicer to his students in the future: pay more attention to the progress of their thesis, and strive to complete the thesis successfully before the end of March.

If Yang Nianzhen and the other six knew what he was thinking, they would definitely curse: Teacher, don’t torture us like this!

After a morning, Yang Nianzhen and the others left satisfied.

Just when Wang Duoyu was about to go home for lunch, Lin Dehong arrived.

"Duoyu, I heard you were sick a few days ago? Are you feeling better now?"

Lin Dehong asked worriedly. When he learned that Wang Duoyu was sick, he called immediately. However, Wang Duoyu needed to rest at that time, so it was Wang Meili who answered the phone.

If he wasn't out of town, he would definitely rush to Harbin Institute of Technology as soon as possible.

"Yes, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."

In the past few days, Wang Duoyu has received a lot of concern and blessings from many people. Even Hua Luogeng and Chen Shengshen called to inquire about him. It can be seen that Wang Duoyu's illness this time has indeed touched the nerves of many people.

After all, Wang Duoyu is currently the number one person in the domestic mathematics community. If something happens to him, the strength of the domestic mathematics community will decline a lot.

"That's good, that's good. You don't know, I heard you were sick back in the southwest, and I was so worried. Luckily, your sister told me you're not seriously ill, but I'm still worried. Look, I just got off the plane and haven't even left yet, but I came to see you right away."

"I'm not saying this to make you blame yourself. To be honest, Duoyu, your body no longer completely belongs to you. If anything really happens to you, none of us can bear the responsibility."

"So, whether it's for someone else's sake or for your own health, you really need to pay more attention."

Hearing Lin Dehong's heartfelt words, Wang Duoyu nodded heavily.

Then he asked:
"How is it? April is almost here, and May is coming soon. Do you have any thoughts about going hunting? I know you definitely want to go hunting, because it's one of your ways to relax."

"And hunting is not just about hunting, it's also about enjoying the scenery and having fun."

"By the way, have you heard of Jiuzhaigou in the southwest? The scenery there is very beautiful. Even if you don't go hunting, it would be nice to go there for a tour. How about going there to take a look?"

Go to Jiuzhaigou to see the scenery in March and April. Although there are mountain roads or even no roads there, the scenery is like a fairyland. No matter what season it is, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Wang Duoyu was still a little moved when he heard this, but he had to think about it.

This is mainly because he has recently made it clear that he wants to prove the geometric Langlands conjecture, so he doesn't want to go out for fun for the time being.

"Boss, let me think about this. If I want to go hunting, I should go back to my hometown because Qingming Festival is coming soon and I need to take my son back."

It is a tradition to worship ancestors during Qingming Festival.

His son Wang Junhong is already over one year old. Although he still doesn't understand anything, it's time for him to get exposed to these things.

Lin Dehong nodded, indicating that there was no problem. As long as Wang Duoyu wanted to go out and relax, he could find him at any time.

In the next few days, Wang Duoyu returned to his previous routine life, automatically blocking out external interference.

Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi were very anxious, but there was nothing they could do. They couldn't even see the person, so there was no way to take their relationship with Wang Duoyu any further.

There was no progress on Liu Xiaoli's side either, but the little guy Wang Junhong had already started calling her mom, which made her very happy.

So, the first step of the plan has shown initial success for the time being.

On the other side of the United States, at the University of California, Berkeley, Shing-Tung Yau received news from Harbin Institute of Technology: Wang Duoyu was suspected of verifying the geometric Langlands conjecture.

"What's going on? Has he verified the honeycomb hypothesis?"

Shing-Tung Yau was very concerned about Wang Duoyu's academic progress, and he would try his best to avoid any topic that the latter was researching.

Because facts have proven that if a topic is targeted by Wang Duoyu, it will not take more than a year at the latest, and at the shortest one or two months, and then he will solve it.

This super-fast research speed made Shing-Tung Yau very frightened and impressed.

You should know that the mathematical conjectures that Wang Duoyu participated in were either very famous mathematical problems or problems that had not been solved for dozens or even hundreds of years.

But in Wang Duoyu's hands, it was as easy as eating and drinking water. Of course, Qiu Chengtong was very scared.

If Wang Duoyu is now trying to verify the geometric Langlands hypothesis, then there is a high probability that he has already proved the honeycomb conjecture.

But why hasn’t the paper on the honeycomb conjecture been published yet?
"It seems like I have to go to Harbin Institute of Technology!"

Qiu Chengtong said to himself.

If the International Congress of Mathematicians was held as scheduled this summer, he would definitely not choose to go to Harbin Institute of Technology at this time.

However, the current situation in Warsaw is not optimistic, and the conference is unlikely to be held.

The Executive Committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians is still meeting to decide whether to postpone or change the host city.

However, the suggestion of changing the host city was ruled out by Olitz, Xiao Yintang and others, so it can only be postponed.

Olitz was a Polish mathematician, so it was understandable that he disagreed with changing the venue. However, Xiao Yintang and others also refused, which was unexpected but also reasonable.

After all, no one can predict which city in their country will host the International Congress of Mathematicians next time. If something unexpected happens, will they have to change the city?

In short, it is highly likely that this mathematics event will not be held in Warsaw this year, and postponing it to next year is an inevitable trend.

In this case, Qiu Chengtong had no choice but to go to Harbin Institute of Technology in person to talk to Wang Duoyu.

However, just as Qiu Chengtong was about to pack his luggage and buy a plane ticket to Tokyo for transfer to Beijing, Smale came to his office at this time.

"Professor Qiu, did you receive the letter? Wang is actually trying to prove the geometric Langlands conception. God, he is really crazy."

Smel's expression was very exaggerated, because Wang Duoyu's behavior was so absurd, even shocking.

From the Poincare conjecture to Fermat's Last Theorem, then to the ABC conjecture, and now to the geometric Langlands conjecture, how great is his mathematical talent?

Could it be that he is really God?

The outside world does not quite understand Smale's feelings, but Shing-Tung Yau can understand.

After all, many people cannot even understand the questions of mathematical problems such as the Poincare conjecture, Fermat conjecture, ABC conjecture, and geometric Langlands conjecture, let alone other problems.

Besides, Smel and the others had heard that Wang Duoyu was also taking care of several scientific research projects, and he was also leading six students.

The most important thing is that the mathematical problems that each of these six students is tackling are not simple. For example, Bocherz is tackling the Magic Group Moonlight Conjecture.

Generally, a mathematics professor who can complete one or two scientific research projects independently is already a big shot in the field.

Not only is Wang Duoyu distracted by so many projects, he also independently derives these mathematical theories and researches. It is conceivable that only God can understand what is going on in his mind, right?

"Yes, I've received it. I'm planning to go to Harbin Institute of Technology next week. Do you want to come with me?"

After hearing what Qiu Chengtong said, Smel took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go to Harbin Institute of Technology with you."

After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said:
"To be honest, I really want to stay at HIT. Otherwise, I can't bear hearing news about him from time to time."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chengtong couldn't help but smile.

After deciding to go to Harbin Institute of Technology, Qiu Chengtong and Smale went to prepare separately.

Just when they were planning to go to Harbin Institute of Technology, Robert Langlands, Andre Weil and Charles Fefferman had already boarded the same flight from New York and headed straight for Tokyo.

They were transiting in Tokyo, then transferring to Beijing, and then flying to Ice City.

Who said there are no direct flights from Ice City to Tokyo yet?
Even direct flights between Beijing and Tokyo are not available every day, because there are not many passengers between the two places now, and the airline operating this route actually does not make much money.

In addition to the three of them, many other people also bought tickets and went to Harbin Institute of Technology.

While these foreigners were coming in one after another, Wang Duoyu was in the seminar lecture hall, answering Maxim Kontsevich's questions with a smile.

The latter had been at Harbin Institute of Technology for nearly half a year. Before the Spring Festival, which was in mid-to-early January, Wang Duoyu gave him a chance to publish two or more papers in top journals such as the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal within half a year, and then he would accept him as a student.

Judging from the level of questions asked in today's seminar, Wang Duoyu was pleasantly surprised to determine that the other party should have written a paper of decent quality.

Therefore, he hoped that the other party could submit the paper to the "HIT Mathematical Journal".

In fact, that's what Maxim did.

What Wang Duoyu didn't know was that Wu Congqin was very worried at the moment because the number and quality of papers submitted recently were much higher, which made his workload even greater.

Reviewing papers is not an easy task, especially high-quality papers. Many mathematical symbols have never been seen even by Wu Congxin himself, because these mathematical symbols are likely to be mathematical tools proposed by the authors of the papers themselves.

Even if the definition of the mathematical tool can be understood through the author of the paper, when the quality of the paper is too high, like the ABC conjecture paper proved by Wang Duoyu before, less than ten people in the world can understand it.

As a result, Wang Duoyu directly skipped the review process and published the paper.

"Alas, it seems that this editor-in-chief position should be given to someone else. I can't do it anymore."

Wu Congqin said to himself.

He knew his own limitations and realized that it was difficult for him to hold the position of editor-in-chief. He even wanted to resign from his position as head of the mathematics department.

too difficult!
That morning, Wu Congqin came to Wang Duoyu's office with the manuscript of his thesis.

"Duoyu, here are the papers for this issue. There are twelve in total. Oh, I'm exhausted!"

Seeing the other party put down the paper manuscript, sat down on the sofa in the reception area, and uttered a moan of pleasure, Wang Duoyu laughed and joked:
"Hey, Director, you didn't go to do some hard labor, did you? Or did your sister-in-law ask you to pay your taxes last night? Look at you, your panda eyes are too serious, aren't they? Pay more attention to rest."

"You still dare to say that?"

Wu Congxin was immediately angry when he heard this:

"If you hadn't insisted on me taking on the position of department head and concurrently serving as editor-in-chief, to be honest, I wouldn't be capable enough."

When Wang Duoyu saw this, his smile froze.

Because it seems that the other party is going to give up, and it seems that he has already made a decision.

This is not a good thing.

The Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology has finally gotten on the right track, but Wu Congyin just wants to walk away?
That certainly won't work.

So, what follows is a confrontation between the two.

But Wu Congxin had already decided to resign from the position of editor-in-chief of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, so he retreated to advance and succeeded.

But he is no longer the editor-in-chief, so who is suitable?
"Duoyu, you're really stupid! Andrew Wiles, William Thurston, and Gerd Faltings are all good candidates. Why can't you choose them?"

Hearing Wu Congxin's words, Wang Duoyu raised his eyebrows and said:
"Director, it seems you really came prepared, but you reminded me that if I want to keep all the people in the visiting exchange group, I have to use other means."

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to them. By the way, Director, if you have anything else to do, I won't accompany you. I also want to talk to the secretary."

Wu Congxin's eyes widened instantly:

"I say, you're too realistic, aren't you? You use people forward and don't use them backward. Hey, how can you do things like that?"

Wang Duoyu spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Director, I have no choice. For the sake of Harbin Institute of Technology's century-old foundation, please bear with me. At most, I will toast you an extra glass at the next gathering."

"Don't try to fool me. When have you ever kept your promise? You always say you don't drink alcohol, and you even say you can replace alcohol with tea, and you ask me to pay more attention to my health."

The two chatted for a while, and as soon as Wu Congqin left, Wang Duoyu followed him.

He did have something to discuss with Liu Deben, this time it was to discuss the establishment of the Ice City Institute for Advanced Studies.

In the secretary's office, after Liu Deben heard Wang Duoyu's ideas, he frowned and thought for a long time.

Because Wang Duoyu was referring to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study and established a pure and top-notch research institution in Ice City that was not subject to any teaching tasks, scientific research funding or pressure from superiors.

The situation abroad is completely different from that at home.

If such an institution is established in the country, what will be its significance?

Wang Duoyu’s explanation was very simple, which was to use such an institution to tie those people up in this institution.

Of course, you can come and go freely without any restrictions.

However, as long as Wang Duoyu is in Ice City, this institution will not exist in name only.

"But Duoyu, how do you plan to attract people to this institution? Besides you, there don't seem to be many top mathematicians right now, right?"
