The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

The entire auditorium fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone, including Director Huang, froze in place.

Ji Bai... what is he going to do?

He wants to prove Goldbach's conjecture?

crazy!

He must be insane!

After a brief pause in the live stream, the chat exploded with comments:

"Holy crap! He wants to prove it himself?"

"This is insane! What day is it today?! Are we witnessing history?!"

"An 18-year-old high school student proves Goldbach's Conjecture?! Even novels wouldn't dare write something like that!"

"I'm recording this now! If the evidence turns out to be real, I'll be a witness to history!"

"Whether it succeeds or not, just for that courage, Ji Bai is awesome!"

……

The bespectacled man was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face, pointing at Ji Bai and mocking him:

"Ji Bai, are you crazy? Proving Goldbach's Conjecture?"

"They really are fearless like newborn calves. Do you know what 'Brother's Guess' is? The world's top mathematicians have been studying it for over two hundred years and still haven't proven it!"

"Countless math geniuses spend their entire lives stuck on this! How dare you, an 18-year-old high school student, say such a thing?"

"Who do you think you are? The reincarnation of Ramanujan? The rebirth of Gauss?"

"Shut up!!!"

A sharp shout suddenly rang out.

The bespectacled man froze, looking at his teacher in disbelief.

The teacher actually told him to shut up?

Huang Mingyuan didn't even look at him; his eyes were fixed on the formula Ji Bai had written on the blackboard, his expression more serious than ever before, and even his voice was trembling:

"Don't make a sound! Don't disturb him!"

The bespectacled man's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet.

No way...

Could it be that Ji Bai... is actually writing a proper proof process?

Huang Mingyuan stared at the blackboard, muttering to himself, his eyes filled with shock:

"A completely new sieve model... a topological equivalence transformation of prime number distribution..."

"He achieved an exponent and estimation precision of n raised to the power of (1/2 + ε)..."

"No, this isn't the classic circle method; it constructs a new upper bound estimate on minor arcs..."

"They've actually combined the circle method and the sieve method to this extent... Boundary expansion can be handled like this..."

"So... so there's another angle to approach this..."

Having studied number theory for half his life, he could tell at a glance that what Ji Bai wrote was not nonsense at all!

This is a completely new proof approach that no one has ever proposed before!

……

at the same time.

Many big names who were waiting in the live stream were also dumbfounded.

The verification of the real and fake top scorers was so popular that, in addition to some netizens who love to watch the excitement, many academic bigwigs were also watching the live broadcast.

These people are not like ordinary netizens who love to spam the comments; they usually stay hidden and only show up when they really need to speak.

Sun Weijie, the youngest lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University, is one of them.

Sun Weijie is only 32 years old this year. He won the national math Olympiad gold medal and was admitted to Tsinghua University without taking the entrance exam. After graduating with a doctorate, he stayed on to teach at the university. His career has been smooth sailing.

He originally clicked into the live stream tonight with the intention of watching the fun, and even developed a fondness for Ji Bai's talent after answering the three big questions.

That sequence problem, which was at the level of an Olympiad math competition, took him nearly ten minutes to find the scaling path in the Olympiad exam, but Ji Bai solved it in three minutes. His talent is definitely among the best in the country.

Although coming up with Goldbach's Conjecture at the end was a bit childish, on second thought, he was only eighteen years old and had been bullied by a bunch of old hands all night, so it was normal for him to be angry.

But when Ji Bai actually picked up the chalk to prove Ge Cai, Sun Weijie frowned.

Having ambition is a good thing, but aren't you being a bit arrogant?

You, a high school student, want to prove something?

Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the mathematics department at Tsinghua University. Those old professors in number theory have been researching for half their lives and still haven't figured it out. Where do you, a kid who just finished the college entrance exam, get your confidence?

Any goodwill she had towards Ji Bai before vanished instantly.

The worst thing in academic pursuits is to be overly ambitious and have unrealistic expectations!

Many gifted young people are trapped in a single problem, wasting their entire lives and ending up achieving nothing.

What a waste of this child's talent.

Sun Weijie sighed and moved the mouse to the cross in the upper right corner of the screen.

He didn't want to watch the final farce anymore.

Just as his index finger was about to press the close button, he caught a glimpse of a line of text that Ji Bai had just finished writing.

Sun Weijie pointed his finger in the air. His eyes widened.

He suddenly leaned closer to the screen, his nose almost touching the monitor, and then subconsciously read aloud, "Wait... this minor arcs handling... isn't the classic Vaughan equation!"

"Did he construct a new invariant? Did he re-divide the intervals according to the distribution of prime factors?"

Is it possible to approach it from this angle?

Sun Weijie became interested immediately.

A very novel perspective.

Moreover, Ji Bai is really quite capable; what he's writing right now is something a high school student wouldn't be able to do.

Sun Weijie couldn't help but keep reading.

But the more I looked, the more dumbfounded I became!

seem……

like……

Really...

Sun Weijie was startled and immediately dialed the phone of his teacher, Lin Boqian, the head of the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University.

"Teacher, are you asleep?"

"Weijie, the teacher is still awake. What's wrong?"

"Teacher, someone is proving Goldbach's Conjecture!"

"What? Prove Brod's conjecture? Which country is it from?"

"Our country's!"

"What? Our country? Who is that?"

"Is it Li from Peking University? Chen from Nanjing University? Or Zhao from Zhejiang University?"

The individuals Lin Boqian mentioned are all rising stars in the Chinese mathematics community, in their prime!

"Neither of those, it's Ji Bai from No. 99 Middle School!"

Ninety-nine high school?

Ji Bai?

Who is this?

"Weijie, your teacher is getting old and shouldn't be making jokes like that! You're thirty-two years old too, not a child anymore!"

"Teacher, I'm not joking!"

"Ji Bai is this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination! He's currently live-streaming to prove my guess!"

"Top scorer in the college entrance examination?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Boqian immediately perked up.

After all, the title of top scorer in the college entrance examination is still very prestigious.

"Really?"

"Really! It's still being proven. To my shame, I can only understand a portion of it, which is why I'm calling you!"

"What? Even you can only understand a part of it?"

Lin Boqian's voice finally changed.

Although Sun Weijie cannot compare to those true geniuses in the mathematics world, he is still the youngest lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Tsinghua University.

How could you not understand a high school student's certificate?

"Where are you streaming? Share the link with me!"

"It's on Douyin. I've already sent the link to your WeChat."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Boqian immediately turned on the live stream.

In the video, a boy in a faded school uniform is standing in front of a blackboard, writing rapidly. Behind him, the six blackboards are covered with dense mathematical symbols.

The comments section was completely buzzing.

"Holy crap! Still writing! He's been writing for almost half an hour!!!"

"What is Ji Bai writing? A Heaven-level cultivation technique?"

"Can any experts tell me if this is reliable?"

"I have a master's degree in mathematics from Nanjing University, specializing in analytic number theory. To be honest, I can only understand about 20% to 30% of it."

"But from the parts that we can understand, every step is correct, and his framework is unprecedented, not any known proof path."

"What? Even a math master's student can only understand 20-30% of it???"

"Let me correct you, it's not that I understood it, it's that I barely kept up!"

"OMG!"

"Could Ji Bai really have proven himself??? Are we witnessing history???"

……

Lin Boqian ignored the comments.

He put on his reading glasses, held his phone close to his eyes, and stared intently at the blackboard writing on the screen.

This line of thinking...

This deduction...

Lin Boqian suddenly stood up from his chair.

He picked up his phone, quickly scrolled through his contacts, and dialed a number.
