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

Chapter 211, Apologize to the Emperor (Subscribe)

September 3, 1982, Wang Duoyu’s office in the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang, Wu Congxin, Shang Zhongmin and others came here, sat in the reception area, and looked at Wang Duoyu with worried expressions.

The latter's expression was very calm and relaxed, as if he was unaware of the turmoil in the outside world.

At this time, Wang Duoyu was actually looking through the newspapers brought back by Shang Zhongmin.

These newspapers were very rude, and they were almost pointing at Wang Duoyu's nose and cursing him.

After reading it, Wang Duoyu put down the newspaper and said with a smile:

"Secretary, President, Director, Professor Shang, thank you for your concern for me, but this news is nothing big to me."

"Honestly, every time these clowns come out, I want to laugh. Do they understand what mathematics is? If they did, then those Fields Medal winners at the Institute for Advanced Study in Ice City wouldn't be here."

"You must believe that the truth will always be in the hands of a few people."

"Forget about them, Professor Shang. What's the current situation of our Harbin Institute of Technology's companies in the United States?"

Of course, he didn't care about the accusations and insults from people like John Stilwell, because these people were shameless. Debating with them would lower his status as Wang Duoyu.

As for the so-called proof paper, he had actually written it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to publish it so soon.

It's just a small disturbance. If it can help him test who are the little devils and who are the gentlemen, Wang Duoyu doesn't mind publishing the paper a little later.

The Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology rose too quickly, so it is normal that its foundation is unstable.

Wang Duoyu doesn’t have many solutions, so it’s a good idea to try out this little method.

He also took this opportunity to hide in his office, claiming to be "in seclusion" but actually busy with his own affairs.

As the saying goes, it's a good opportunity to take a break from busy life. He has a lot of work to do, and some projects cannot be known to the outside world, so he takes this opportunity to slowly deduce something.

In July, there were problems with the 101 project. Similar to this, the Mach fighter project will also have problems.

So Wang Duoyu really doesn't have much time to relax.

University teachers and students all over the world have summer vacation in July and August. What about Wang Duoyu?

Instead, I have to be extremely busy. Is that fair?

It’s definitely unfair!

"Duoyu, are you really confident that you can get through this difficult time? You're not trying to comfort us, are you?"

Liu Deben still asked worriedly. After hearing this, Wang Duoyu no longer concealed the truth and confessed:
"Everyone, what I am going to say next must be kept confidential."

"Actually, this incident was deliberately planned by me. I originally thought that some clowns would jump out from our Harbin Institute of Technology, and even that someone from the Ice City Institute of Advanced Studies would leave."

"Now it seems that I was worrying too much."

When he said this, Wang Duoyu's face was full of smiles.

These people were attracted by Wang Duoyu's personal charm. No one would leave easily until they achieved their goal, or until Wang Duoyu was completely defeated.

Only a fool would leave!
Starting from 1978, Wang Duoyu published many papers one after another, and held a report meeting in 1979, 1980 and 1981 respectively.

The three lectures were delivered face-to-face in front of the world's top mathematicians, perfectly answering their questions, and then he smoothly became the recognized emperor of mathematics by mathematicians all over the world.

For a person like this, in just four years, isn't there anyone who doesn't want to overturn the papers he has written?

First of all, not many people can understand these papers. Secondly, if you want to refute such papers, you must be able to find relevant counter-evidence.

However, these people do not have Wang Duoyu's brains, or they simply cannot do it, and cannot find the so-called counter-evidence.

So, just because a proof paper he proposed for the Burnside problem is invalid, should we condemn such a person?

No one is stupid.

Lu Gongliang, Liu Deben, Wu Congqin and others were stunned at this time. They didn't expect that Wang Duoyu would gamble his own reputation on this matter.

How confident is he to dare to do this?

It seems that Wang Duoyu must have carefully discussed it behind the scenes, otherwise he would not easily joke about his own reputation.

When top mathematicians start plotting conspiracies, ordinary people really can't stand it.

"I've already proven the proof in my paper, but I just haven't released it yet. So don't worry about me. On the contrary, you have to cover up for me and continue the show."

Wang Duoyu smiled faintly and said:

"You don't need to worry about similar mathematical problems in the future. If I didn't tell you in advance, it means I didn't want the outside world to know about this!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Just digest it briefly and then forget what I just said. It will be the same as it was before."

"Next, Professor Shang, could you please tell me about the situation of several of our Harbin Institute of Technology companies in the United States?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Shang was silent for a long time, then he calmed down and began to explain in a serious tone.

Harbin Institute of Technology's business is spread across Europe and the United States. Companies such as Diao Pai, Dolphin Games, Huaxing Chip, Huashun, and Huaxin have considerable business in the United States.

The sales of Diao Pai Company's lead-acid batteries, electric bicycles, motors and other products have increased this year. In other words, this year's revenue data may be better than last year.

Not to mention Dolphin Games, which is currently the most powerful among the many overseas companies of Harbin Institute of Technology, because its handheld game consoles are unrivaled and there is no one who can compete in the global market.

Ever since Dolphin Games launched its handheld game console on New Year's Day in 1983, Japanese game companies such as Nintendo, Konami, and Capcom have all announced their entry into the personal handheld game console business.

But without one or two years, or even two or three years, they can't get it out successfully.

Even though Nintendo has abundant funds and abundant talents, it is still extremely difficult to launch a handheld game console product this year.

Even if it is launched, will Dolphin Games be afraid?

Huashun Company has not undergone much change at present. It currently only has optical disk storage and hard disk storage businesses. However, its flash memory-based solid-state drive GT316 is not yet on the market.

Even its existence is not yet known to the outside world.

Because Harbin Institute of Technology has provided comprehensive protection for it and has not even applied for a patent, the outside world certainly does not know about this product.

The flash memory technology applied for by Japan's Toshiba Corporation, namely the fast-erasing EERPOM, is actually the predecessor of the non-gate flash memory technology.

Although Harbin Institute of Technology has not yet developed this non-gate flash memory technology, after all, after the logic gate circuit flash memory technology comes out, various applications still need to be developed, such as solid-state drives, USB flash drives, etc., so time has been delayed.

But according to Wang Duoyu's understanding, there will most likely be the latest progress around the end of this year.

Huayun Company's business is computational fluid dynamics simulation software. It is called Azure Company abroad and the software name is Fluent.

Currently, this software has a very high popularity in the United States. Because more than a year has passed, whether it works or not, and its annual payment model have become the benchmark of this industry.

At present, the number of companies that have purchased Fluent software has exceeded 600, and the number will continue to rise.

Old customers who purchased Fluent software in August last year will continue to renew their contracts after August this year at the same price.

An annual fee of US$100,000 for 600 companies would be US$60 million.

With an annual revenue of 60 million US dollars, this kind of revenue is considered a very impressive company in the world.

In addition to Diaopai, Huashun, Dolphin and Huayun, there are only two companies left: Huaxing Chip and Huaxin Company.

It’s better not to mention Lotte Group because it is a money-eating beast and currently does not have much output. Even if there is output in real estate, finance and shipping, they will continue to invest in it and will not withdraw funds.

Even most of the investment will be increased every year, so it is best not to mention it, otherwise Liu Deben and Lu Gongliang will be sad.

Huaxing Chip has not exported many products, and so far, it has only earned a few million US dollars.

Because most of the chips are consumed internally by Harbin Institute of Technology, or purchased by other domestic research institutes or enterprises.

In one word, cheap!
So everyone rushed to buy it.

The cordless telephone products launched by Huaxin Company in early August sold 4,800 units half a month ago, and a large number of them have been sold since then.

Its popularity has not diminished at all, and has even become more fierce.

Because of this non-artificial hunger marketing, many people in the market are happier.

If this level of popularity can continue until the end of the year, when production catches up and the two major markets of Europe and Japan also begin to promote it, the turnover at the end of the year will probably be astonishing.

After listening to Shang Zhongmin's statement, Wang Duoyu said:
"Is there any news from Motorola?"

Shang Zhongmin shook his head and said, "No, they haven't made any moves. Maybe they don't care too much, or maybe they're waiting for the market's reaction."

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu nodded silently and did not speak any more.

Actually, this matter is quite simple and there is nothing much to say.

However, even if Motorola does not take action, it may take action in November or December.

In short, it’s not a bad thing to make some preparations in advance.

"Professor Shang, you need to build good relationships with the US telecom departments. Once Motorola makes its move, we must quickly send money to these departments. I believe these capitalists will absolutely do anything for their own benefit."

Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Shang Zhongmin nodded repeatedly.

In fact, he didn't really believe that Motorola would sell mobile phones in advance, but since Wang Duoyu had already said so, and Wang Duoyu's judgment of the market was very accurate.

Therefore, Shang Zhongmin would not easily refute Wang Duoyu, even if he did not agree in his heart, he would not easily oppose it.

In the following time, Liu Deben and others chatted with Wang Duoyu for a while before leaving the office with peace of mind.

After they left, Wang Duoyu sat there for a while, then smiled softly, picked up the cordless phone on the desk and called Lin Dehong.

Cordless phones are indeed very useful, at least in the office, they are much better than so-called wired phones.

After Lin Dehong received the call, he heard Wang Duoyu say:

"Boss, I want to go hunting. Or rather, I plan to go back to my hometown for a month and come back after National Day. It's like a summer vacation."

"No, school has already started, and you told me you want to go back home? Secretary Liu and Principal Lu must be so worried!"

After a pause, Lin Dehong frowned and said:

"No, you must be in trouble. Oh, and I heard that there's a lot of slanderous news about you internationally. You must know about this, right? So, if you know it yourself, why don't you deal with it?"

Wang Duoyu is the star of Harbin Institute of Technology. To be honest, if he leaves for nearly a month, school leaders like Liu Deben will definitely be annoyed.

Moreover, instead of dealing with things, he went back to his hometown. Is this appropriate?

Anyway, no matter whether it is appropriate or not, this is Wang Duoyu’s decision.

In the blink of an eye, a few days later, on the afternoon of the 8th, a notice was posted on the bulletin board of the Mathematics Department teaching building that a monthly exchange and sharing meeting would be held the next day.

It was also clearly stated that Wang Duoyu will attend this mathematics exchange meeting.

After the announcement came out, the entire mathematics department quickly became excited.

The teachers and students of the Department of Mathematics all knew that this was the first time Wang Duoyu had come out of seclusion after the August storm. Unexpectedly, after coming out, he would hold the monthly exchange meeting in advance.

Everyone signed up, and reserving seats in advance was not allowed.

Because the first three rows of seats are reserved for the big guys, and you cannot occupy other seats. Just sit down when you arrive, and someone will help maintain order.

The Ice City Institute for Advanced Study next door also received the news quickly. Qiu Chengtong and his colleagues were immediately surprised. It seemed that Wang Duoyu had already finished writing the paper.

The next afternoon, before Wang Duoyu went to the mathematics department building, he received a notice that there were too many people and they should move to another place.

So we moved to the auditorium.

Because the auditorium can seat more than 3,000 people, if you come here, you can find a seat wherever you want.

But since it was the beginning of the school year, when everyone heard that the exchange meeting was to be held in the auditorium, all the freshmen skipped classes and ran to the auditorium.

Many students from other departments besides the Department of Mathematics came.

It wasn't even 2:30 yet, but the auditorium was already packed with people, definitely more than 3,000 people.

Liu Deben and the others also came. After seeing this scene, they were stunned and couldn't help laughing:

"Well, let's just treat it as an early welcome speech."

The freshmen who enrolled in the fall semester this September are all young men and women around 17 or 18 years old. Although Harbin Institute of Technology is a science and engineering school, there are more boys than girls.

But because of Wang Duoyu, there are quite a lot of female students who apply to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Many freshmen chose to apply to Harbin Institute of Technology because of Wang Duoyu, simply because there was so much publicity about him in the newspapers.

When Wang Duoyu arrived at the auditorium, he was stunned to see so many people.

It seems that he still underestimated his own fame.

"Dear leaders, teachers, and students, good afternoon. Yesterday I asked the mathematics teacher to help inform you that the monthly mathematics exchange will be held in the lecture hall today, but I will be having lunch at noon today."

"Everyone is so enthusiastic, but let me be honest. Although mathematics is a basic subject, it is really not suitable for ordinary students to study mathematics."

"If you are interested in mathematics, then please work hard and devote your wholehearted time and energy to learning. Don't leave yourself any room for retreat."

"If you can't continue on the path of basic mathematical theory research in the future, you can still participate in industrial research on mathematical applications. This will benefit you for a lifetime."

On the podium, Wang Duoyu rarely said a lot of nonsense before starting today's topic.

Everyone in the audience was looking forward to it, thinking that Wang Duoyu would use his ultimate move.

The result was that Wang Duoyu said:

"The reason so many people came today is probably because everyone was influenced by the media and wondered what impact last month's storm would have on me."

"Actually, no, but I'm sorry to tell you that I won't be speaking about the Burnside issue today. I've already written the paper, printed it, and it's in my office."

"Today we will have a normal communication, just like before."

After hearing this, Qiu Chengtong and others wanted to stand up and go to Wang Duoyu's office to get the paper.

But this was very rude, so they did not stand up.

The others were very happy when they heard this, because Wang Duoyu's confident attitude showed that the so-called Burnside problem was indeed a problem.

In other words, Wang Duoyu is definitely not wrong!
The next step is to wait for others to determine whether this paper is right or wrong.

Therefore, everyone was a little absent-minded during the subsequent communication and sharing.

However, people with great concentration can still sit still.

For example, Zelmanov has great confidence in Wang Duoyu, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles from Moscow to the ice city in the Far East.

Because the papers published by Wang Duoyu in "Annals of Mathematics", "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal", etc., can definitely not be faked.

What's more, three years ago, he had asked Wang Duoyu questions face to face at a report meeting in the Great Hall of Peking University. Of course, he knew very well whether Wang Duoyu was really talented or just a name for himself.

In the past few months, the math discussion would last at least three hours, but this time, it only lasted two hours, that is, at 4:30, and no one asked questions. Did everyone run out of questions?

No, it’s just that everyone tacitly agreed not to ask questions, and reading the paper was more important.

After Wang Duoyu announced the end of today's mathematical exchange, Yang Xiuhua also brought the paper to the door.

Shing-Tung Yau, Bryant, Wiles and others all received their papers, which were already printed but had not yet been reviewed.

In order to prove that "a finite generating group Gi＞, each element is of finite order, is Gi＞ a finite group", is actually not true, Wang Duoyu wrote a 107-page paper.

In this paper, he also refuted another point: for finite generating groups with the same index, the bounded Burnside conjecture does not generally hold.

So Wang Duoyu proposed the restricted Burnside conjecture: that is, does the order of a finitely generated finite group with bounded exponents have an upper bound?
It actually takes some time for people like David Bryant and Manford to read and fully understand Wang Duoyu's paper.

After the paper was given to Shing-Tung Yau and his colleagues, Wang Duoyu had already returned to his office in the Department of Mathematics teaching building.

He packed up briefly and prepared to return home.

He is relatively relaxed at the moment because his work has almost been completed in the past half month.

Problems with scientific research projects such as the 101 Project, the Mach fighter project, and the lithography machine project have all been resolved.

Shang Zhongmin had already reported on the companies under Harbin Institute of Technology a few days ago, so there was no need for Wang Duoyu to keep an eye on them.

The private enterprise Want Want Group has also made plans, and it will only require Zheng Baoyin and others to report occasionally.

As for his mathematical theoretical derivation, there is currently no way to find a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equation, and we can only wait.

The problem of geometric Langlands conjecture must be delayed, and Wang Duoyu will certainly not take the initiative to break through it quickly.

In April, the proof of the honeycomb conjecture was published in the eighth issue of the "HIT Journal of Mathematics". It has not caused much stir so far, because the International Congress of Mathematicians will be held next year, and the executive committee should send an invitation to Wang Duoyu to give a report at the conference.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu now has the proof paper of the Collatz conjecture and the paper on the restricted Burnside conjecture that he just took out.

It can be said that the conjecture he proposed was almost a bombshell that shocked the entire global mathematics community.

Perhaps from now on, mathematicians will have to be more cautious when reviewing proof papers related to group theory.

If one fails to do so, Wang Duoyu may drag him out and whip his corpse.

No, it should be said that it is not just group theory, but also other branches of mathematics such as number theory, geometry, topology, mathematical logic, mathematical analysis, etc. that we must be cautious, otherwise, it is easy to get into trouble.

Like Thompson now, his old age is really not guaranteed.

So for Wang Duoyu, he can really lie down and relax for a while in the next period of time.

After packing up the personal items he needed, Wang Duoyu returned to the villa.

The next day, he returned to his hometown with Liu Xiaoli, Wang Meihe, Wang Meili and his son Wang Junhong.

The two younger sisters must be brought home because I need to communicate with them on a daily basis, instill in them some logical theories of financial mathematics, and at the same time make them more aware of the future currency trends.

In short, after the relationship between the two sisters ended in 1985, it was very crucial whether Wang Duoyu's small treasury could expand.

Why does he need so much money?

It's very simple. The Mach 5 fighter jet project is just in its initial stage, and the three sections that Harbin Institute of Technology is responsible for have been subdivided into more than 500 small projects.

This project will still require huge amounts of capital investment in the next ten years.

So there will never be enough money. When you think you have prepared enough funds, you will find that it is far from enough when you turn around.

After arriving at Dahonggou Village, the little guy Wang Junhong suddenly let himself go completely like a wild horse.

The little guy is already one year and ten months old, almost two years old, and can walk and jump. Although he is not particularly good, he is definitely no different from a two-year-old child.

"Brother Jiu, I still don't understand. Didn't school just start? Why did you hide back home?"

At the end of Dahonggou Village, in Wang Duoyu's wooden house, Wang Meili took a bite of an apple and asked in confusion.

Liu Xiaoli and Wang Meihe, who were watching the child, also cast curious glances.

Hearing this, Wang Duoyu put down the book in his hand and rolled his eyes at her:
"Speak nicely, what do you mean by hiding? Am I hiding? Do I need to hide?"

"I'm just going back home to rest and relax, understand? Okay, I won't argue with you. Just do your homework. I haven't finished today's Japanese speaking practice yet. Go ahead and don't disturb me while I'm reading."

This time when he returned to his hometown, he prepared a lot of books, and he would definitely read all the books he brought back.

For the next half month, he didn't go anywhere and just stayed in his hometown.

I read books and take care of the kids every day, and occasionally go out fishing or something.

There is a river near the village, a little over one kilometer away, which is not very far, so Wang Duoyu goes there to fish almost every other afternoon.

His son would also go with him, and whenever he caught small fish or shrimp, the little boy would reach out to grab them, completely unaware of what fear was.

On weekends, the little kids from Lao Wang's family would come to his house to join in the fun.

It was not until late September that Yuan Jigang and his friends finally got leave, ran to the village, met up with Wang Duoyu, and went hunting in the mountains.

"Duoyu, are you sure you want to go hunting with us in the mountains? You..."

That evening, Yuan Jigang was still asking Wang Duoyu in a low voice. After all, what happened last year was still vivid in his mind.

In July this year, Yuan Jigang and his roommates in dormitory 303 all graduated.

Rong Guangxia graduated from college early and then became Wang Duoyu's student. He is currently studying for a master's degree and has no plans to graduate.

In fact, all of Wang Duoyu's six students could have graduated successfully, but they just didn't want to graduate.

Whether it is a master's or a doctorate, Yorkz and his friends can graduate, but they just hope to stay with Wang Duoyu for a longer time and learn more.

Speaking of students, Wang Duoyu still did not accept Maxim Kontsevich as his student. It was not because the latter was not capable, but because he did not complete the two papers within the specified time.

On January 12, Wang Duoyu told Maxim about this matter, and asked him to publish two or more top journal papers within six months.

In early June, Wang Duoyu had just returned from Shanghai and it was then that he saw the paper submitted by Maxim.

However, although the quality of this paper is high, there is only one other paper of the same quality, which does not meet Wang Duoyu's requirements.

So according to the regulations, he did not recruit the other party as a master's degree student.

However, Wang Duoyu is still willing to give the other party a chance. Starting from January 12 of this year, Maxim must publish three papers by January 12 of next year, and then Wang Duoyu will let him take the master's examination in May next year.

This is just a special case.

Because we cherish talents!

From two articles to three articles, from half a year to one year, to be honest, the requirements have been lowered.

However, not everyone can do it.

Some people are just slow to warm up. Even if they have a strong talent for math, if it is not developed, they just can't do it.

But if talent is stimulated, then it will succeed no matter how hard it is.

Apart from Maxim, Wang Duoyu has not found any other talented students.

Perhaps among this year's college entrance examination candidates, there are a few very talented top scorers who may still have a chance to fight.

The Department of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is currently the top department in China. With people like David Bryant Mumford and Shing-Tung Yau teaching, and Wang Duoyu also sharing, it is really possible to help these top scorers grow.

After all, Harbin Institute of Technology has a lot of resources at the basic level, both hard conditions, such as those top mathematical papers, top domestic and foreign journals and books, etc., and soft conditions, such as top mathematicians like Wang Duoyu.

If they really have any questions, you can occasionally run into them in the Mathematics Department building.

It's normal to ask a few questions when you meet someone, right?

Wang Duoyu was often asked questions by students during the time he was traveling between the mathematics department building and his home.

But the questions they raised might be very difficult for them, but they were very simple for Wang Duoyu.

Therefore, he was able to solve these problems quickly, just by going home.

Not to mention Rong Guangxia and the other six students, Zhu Hanting and others all stayed in the school to teach or take up positions.

As long as students in the mathematics department study hard, there is actually no such thing as "unemployment".

What's more, Harbin Institute of Technology is extremely eager for talents now.

Whether it is the Department of Mathematics itself that needs some young teaching assistants and lecturers, or companies such as Huaxin that also need professionals in applied mathematics.

Therefore, Zhu Hanting and others definitely cannot leave the Harbin Institute of Technology system.

Since they are all in Ice City, they will naturally not miss this hunting activity if Wang Duoyu summons them.

"I invited you here, so don't think too much!"

Wang Duoyu rolled his eyes at Yuan Jigang. What a brat!
You are already married, why are you still so stubborn?

Yuan Jigang had already started dating last year and had decided to get married in the second half of the year, so he needed to prepare a wedding house and other things before the wedding. That was when he "encouraged" Wang Duoyu to go hunting in the Mohe primeval forest again, which was when the incident happened.

Lou Jianguo smiled and changed the subject:

"Duoyu, what do you think about me bringing my wife and children to Bingcheng?"

"I think it's a good idea, but does your wife agree?" Wang Duoyu nodded immediately.

Not long after entering Harbin Institute of Technology, they heard that Lou Jianguo's son drowned because his wife did not look after the child.

To be honest, this incident was a huge blow to Lou Jianguo.

But until now, he still hasn't decided whether to bring his wife and children to Bingcheng.

Tian Maohua also spoke at this time:
"Actually, I agree with what Jianguo is doing, but he seems a little hesitant. I wonder if you have any concerns?"

Zhu Hanting, Yu Xinyao, Rong Guangxia and others also echoed this, saying that if there was anything to say, just say it directly. They were all in the same dormitory, so what was there that couldn't be said?

Lou Jianguo hesitated for a moment before nodding to indicate that he would seriously consider it.

Seeing this, Wang Duoyu knew that the other party might really have some ideas.

As I said, don’t force it!
But after all, they all lived in the same dormitory and had known each other for more than four years, so Wang Duoyu took the initiative to speak:

"If you have something you're embarrassed about, you can tell me in private. Honestly, the eight of us may all have different personalities, but fate brought us together. After graduation, we can still go hunting together, and occasionally we can eat, drink, and chat together."

"To be honest, I'm not used to it if you return to Sichuan."

Seeing that Wang Duoyu had said so much, Lou Jianguo finally nodded and said that after he returned this time, he would talk about this matter with his wife and then move his family to Bingcheng.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu immediately said:

"That's right. Let me tell you, Ice City will definitely get better and better in the future. If you move here, you won't regret it."

"And Old Zhu, the same goes for you. Let's stay in Ice City together and make it better."

That night, Wang Duoyu's home was very lively.

The next morning, they set out to hunt in the mountains.

When I left, the little guy was sleeping soundly. When he woke up around eleven o'clock in the morning, he didn't see his father and started crying so sadly.

Liu Xiaoli and the other two took turns coaxing him, but to no avail.

But the three of them were very worried.

Wang Duoyu and his friends who went into the mountains were really having fun, because they hadn't gone into the mountains to hunt for nearly a year, and this time they could finally have fun to their heart's content.

This hunting trip into the mountains lasted a total of six days. Although it was not very long, it was after all the mountain behind my hometown, and the places where we could hunt were definitely not as good as the Siberian primeval forest.

When they came back, Wang Duoyu and his companions brought back a lot of prey, but mostly wild boars. They also killed several swans and other birds.

Wang Junhong was held by her aunt. When he saw his father coming back, his mouth suddenly pouted and he started crying.

While Wang Duoyu was busy coaxing the child, at Harbin Institute of Technology, Qiu Chengtong and his team had already completed the review of the paper, and the "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal" directly published the paper.

This should be the twelfth issue now. Including Wang Duoyu's 107-page paper, there are a total of three papers in this issue.

The other two are by Gerd Faltins and Maxim Koncevich.

The latter has started to work hard. No matter what, he must publish three high-quality papers within a year, otherwise he really cannot become Wang Duoyu's student.

Maxim has read all of Wang Duoyu's papers, including this issue's paper on the restricted Burnside conjecture, which he has also read.

He understood all the papers. Of course, if he had not attended Wang Duoyu's course before, he would not have understood the paper proving the ABC conjecture.

The difficulty level of the paper proving the ABC conjecture is indeed too high.

He knew that Wang Duoyu was very capable. As a young man himself, he had almost no one he admired, but Wang Duoyu was an exception.

So even if he had to fight to the death, he had to become Wang Duoyu's student and then surpass him.

However, Wang Duoyu has already published so many influential papers, and it is unknown whether he will have such an opportunity again.

At the University of San Francisco, John Stilwell is in a very good mood recently.

Because he published several articles in the San Francisco Chronicle, which led to increased public attention, his recent book sales have been quite good.

The more books he sells, the more money he can make as an author.

As someone who knew how to hype things up, John Stilwell was indeed doing very well.

Besides, he really couldn't stand Wang Duoyu, a Chinese. Why could he be so superior to everyone else without even coming to the United States?

Jealousy can distort a person, and John Stilwell is one such person.

However, that morning, when he came to the mathematics department office, he saw a group of people at the door.

These people were all reporters, and there were even two beautiful female reporters who were his old lovers.

Seeing this scene, John Stilwell became even happier and showed a smile that he thought was a gentleman. But when he came in front of the reporters, the moment the reporters spoke, he quickly broke down.

"Professor Stilwell, what do you think of the latest issue of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal? Professor Wang's paper has been published, and several mathematicians, including Professor Charles, have commented that Professor Wang Duoyu's argument is correct."

"Professor Stilwell, representatives from Harbin Institute of Technology's US office have filed a lawsuit against you for defaming Professor Wang Duoyu and smearing Harbin Institute of Technology. They're demanding $10 million in damages for your reputation. What are your thoughts on this?"

"According to the latest reports, Professor Andre Weil of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton has traveled to Harbin Institute of Technology. He stated in front of the media that Professor Wang Duoyu is the emperor of mathematics. This is undeniable, and not everyone can slander and discredit him. I will travel to Ice City to apologize to this emperor. What do you think about this, Professor Stilwell?"

"As a mathematics professor at the University of San Francisco, will your contract be terminated by the school for this?"
