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

The conference room at the city guesthouse was filled with jubilation.

The group of old men who were worried about how to salvage the situation just the day before are now all beaming with health and standing ramrod straight.

"Okay! Okay!"

Lin Boqian slammed his fist on the table, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "I've dedicated my whole life to number theory, and when I went abroad to conferences, people wouldn't even give us a second glance, saying that nobody in China understood cutting-edge mathematics. And now, they're begging to come here for a validation meeting!"

"It's more than just holding verification meetings."

Director Zhang shook his head with a smile, his eyes shining: "I originally thought that being able to hold this conference in China was already unprecedented, but I never expected that Ji Bai would force IMU to voluntarily change the time and concede!"

"This isn't just a conference; it's elevating the status of mathematics in China to a whole new level!"

"This child is extraordinary!"

Dean Wu of Nanjing University took a deep breath: "A hundred years from now, when writing the history of mathematics, this page will surely begin with his name!"

Academician Wang stood by the window, his back to everyone, gently tapping the table with his fingertips.

He lived to be over seventy years old and witnessed firsthand the arduous journey of Chinese mathematics from scratch, and saw older generations of scholars cautiously asking questions at international conferences, clutching crumpled papers.

The surge of heat in my chest at this moment was more intense than anyone else's.

"We old folks are lucky to have caught a good time."

Academician Wang spoke softly, his voice trembling with barely perceptible emotion.

Just then, my phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

Academician Wang took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, his expression instantly turned serious, and he gently pressed his hand down to close the caller ID.

The noisy conference room fell silent instantly, even the sound of breathing became lighter.

The phone number for the Council of State.

Everyone held their breath, staring at his profile.

"Hello, it's me."

"Yes, yes, we're on standby at any time."

"Understood, completely understood! I guarantee it will be implemented thoroughly!"

"Okay, okay, let's start all the preparations immediately!"

His words were brief and powerful; when he hung up the phone, the back of Academician Wang's hand was slightly tense.

He turned around, looked at the room full of people, and his voice was so loud it made everyone's ears ring:

"I just received official notification that the verification conference is scheduled for three days from now, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing!"

"Start immediately: send out global invitations, arrange guest seating, set up the venue—all work must begin and proceed overnight!"

"yes!"

The room was filled with people responding in unison, their voices brimming with barely suppressed excitement and fervor.

Three days!

Just three days later, they will hold a verification conference in their own country, bringing together the world's top mathematicians.

You don't have to depend on others or be at their beck and call.

This is the most glorious and inspiring moment in the history of Chinese mathematics!

Each of them will be a participant and witness to history!

……

Half an hour later, the official account of the Chinese Mathematicians Association released a statement:

[After careful consideration, it has been decided that the Global Verification Conference of Mr. Ji Bai's Research Results will be solemnly held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing at 9:7 a.m. on July 5.]

At that time, Mr. Ji Bai will give a live presentation on the complete proof ideas and core logic of Goldbach's Conjecture, Collatz Conjecture, Twin Prime Conjecture and Poincaré Conjecture.

The conference will be broadcast live in high definition globally. We sincerely invite mathematicians from all countries to join us in this grand event and to reflect on history together!

The statement reignited the fire across the internet.

The Great Hall of the People. Four world-class conjectures.

Live broadcast globally.

Every word that comes down is exhilarating and makes one's blood boil.

Everyone started the countdown.

Three days later.

The capital of China.

Witness the official start of a new era of mathematics belonging to the East!

……

The following morning, in the special care ward of the First Municipal Hospital.

Morning light streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Ji Bai slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

The system notification sounded in my mind right on time.

[Ding! If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?]

1. Complete Technology Route for Controlled Nuclear Fusion (Fragment 1/10) (60 RMB)

2. Native-level fluency in any foreign language (10 yuan)

3. Complete undergraduate, master's, and doctoral knowledge system in any subject (10 yuan)

4. A set of four pretentious classics: "A Discourse on Young China," "Four Sentences by Zhang Zai," "On Teachers," and "Exhortation to Learning" (10 yuan)

5. Something small will happen today that will make you happy (10 yuan).

6. Complete proof of the ABC conjecture (10 yuan)

……

Ji Bai looked at the panel, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The biggest benefit of the system upgrade is the ability to freely choose multiple options within a 100-yuan limit, a far cry from the days when we could only choose two or three options due to our limited budget.

他心中快速权衡，直接敲定：「我选 1、2、3、4、5！」

The reason is crystal clear.

Controlled nuclear fusion fragments, a must-choose without hesitation.

He now possesses two fragments. With each additional fragment, he is one step closer to completely breaking through the energy bottleneck. This is a true national-level technology, and its priority will always be at the top.

In addition, the Global Verification Conference in Beijing is coming up soon, where mathematicians from all over the world will gather. Fluent, native-level English is a matter of prestige, confidence, and the foundation for dominating the entire event.

A complete undergraduate, master's, and doctoral knowledge system in mathematics is also a necessity.

He solved four world-class problems in a row, seemingly invincible, but this required a complete, systematic, and solid foundation of top-level academic knowledge to fill in all the knowledge gaps.

Gauss's talent is talent, and his knowledge system is a system; these are two different things.

As for the four essential items for showing off...

"I'm not trying to show off, I just don't want to do any more guessing and proving!"

Four days and four certificates – I feel completely drained!

On the contrary, Ji Bai was really looking forward to the last option, a small happy event today.

[Ding! Please select your preferred foreign language!]

"English."

[Ding! Please select your area of ​​expertise!]

"math."

[Ding! All selections for today have taken effect! Please try again tomorrow!]

The next moment!

A massive, overwhelming flow of information surged into Ji Bai's mind like a river overflowing its banks!

The second piece of controlled nuclear fusion technology has been precisely completed, and the core technologies such as tokamak confinement, plasma steady state, and magnetic cage structure have been thoroughly linked.

The pure American academic English accent, tens of thousands of professional words, and impromptu debate logic are instantly imprinted in the brain, making one speak at a native speaker level.

The entire set of mathematics knowledge at the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels is integrated and mastered, from basic number theory to higher-order topology, from functional analysis to differential geometry, with no gaps in knowledge.

Four passages from timeless Chinese classics resonate deeply, embodying the spirit of mountains and rivers and encompassing all things.

"When the youth are strong, the nation is strong..."

"To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth..."

In just a few seconds, Ji Bai's demeanor transformed once again, becoming calm, composed, and dignified, exuding the aura of a grandmaster.

……

"Click—"

As the ward door opened, Academician Wang strode in with a group of academic luminaries, his face full of excitement and satisfaction.

"Ji Bai! Well done! This time, you have truly restored a century's worth of honor to the Chinese academic community!"

"Who would have thought that the IMU, which used to be high and mighty and had us under its thumb for a lifetime, would be forced to bow down and change the rules by you today!"

"The verification conference is scheduled for three days from now at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and the entire global academic community will be there! You will come to Beijing with us today to get in place and prepare in advance."

Ji Bai nodded slightly:

"good!"
