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

Fourth day.

[Ding! Daily selection activated!]

If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?

1. Complete technical route for room temperature superconductivity (fragment 1/10) (80 yuan)

2. Key Materials and Engineering Solutions for the Space Elevator (Fragment 1/10) (80 yuan)

3. Complete fault-tolerant and error-correcting solution for quantum computers (60 yuan)

4. The thing I'm always looking for is always in the first place I look (20 yuan).

5. The package will always be delivered the day before the estimated arrival time (20 yuan).

6. Charm Permanently +1 (30 RMB)

……

"I choose 1 and 5!"

Ji Bai's fingertips landed crisply.

Space elevators and quantum computers are certainly revolutionary technologies, but as the saying goes, you have to take things one step at a time. The progress bar for room-temperature superconductivity needs to be steadily built up first.

As for the delivery always arriving a day early... it's a small boost to your happiness, adding a little surprise to your daily life when you're adding items to your cart, so it's a win-win situation.

When I arrived at the venue, thousands of scholars were already seated neatly in the audience.

Today's topic is the Poincaré Conjecture, one of the seven unsolved mathematical problems of the millennium, and the jewel in the crown of topology.

It is also the most significant and universally acknowledged as the most difficult of the four conjectures.

Everyone assumed that Ji Bai would slow down and stumble a few times when he transitioned from number theory to topology.

But reality once again drastically shattered everyone's expectations.

On the podium, the young man began by explaining the topological structure of high-dimensional manifolds, progressing step by step along Hamilton's Ricci flow line of thought. He not only filled in all the details skipped in Perelman's proof, but also presented a completely new and simpler method of geometric construction.

He broke down the topological proofs, which were originally so obscure that they deterred most scholars, into a clear and smooth way. Even many scholars in the audience who were not from the field of topology nodded frequently and kept writing in their notebooks.

……

In the first row of the audience, Sir John Wiles, the prover of Fermat's Last Theorem, turned his head to look at Terence Tao, the Chinese-American mathematician beside him, and chuckled softly:

"Tao, you haven't said a word for four whole days. I thought you would ask some important questions."

A faint smile played on Terence Tao's lips as his gaze fell upon the young man on stage, as if he saw a reflection of his former self:

"Mr. Wiles, why ask again when we already know the answer?"

"Then why did you fly all the way from the United States?" Wiles raised an eyebrow.

Tao Zhexuan shrugged, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Can't you find patterns?"

This time, Wiles smiled and nodded slightly: "Yes, but why can't some people understand?"

As he spoke, his gaze drifted almost imperceptibly over Charles, whose face was grim in the front row.

"Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective," Terence Tao said softly.

"Those involved are often blinded by their own perspective?"

Wiles paused for a moment, then repeated the pronunciation: "Is this a Chinese proverb?"

It is an idiom.

Terence Tao explained with a smile: "You can think of it as... a hyperlink in language. These four short words contain a whole set of principles and allusions."

"Hyperlinks in language?"

Wiles' eyes lit up, and he repeated it with great interest.

"It's amazing how the Chinese language can compress so many layers of meaning into just four characters. I'm becoming more and more curious about this language."

"You can try learning it."

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Wiles smiled and nodded, his gaze returning to the podium.

The two stopped talking.

They all knew that the outcome of this conference had already been decided.

Some people are still trying to turn things around, but they're trapped in their own pride and can't see reality.

……

The number of viewers in the live stream actually dropped significantly compared to the previous two days.

At first, watching Ji Bai stand up to the doubters and leave the foreigners speechless was incredibly satisfying.

Later, seeing the foreigners change from being unruly to being respectful was both satisfying and exhilarating.

Even the most satisfying crushing victory becomes tiresome after watching it for three days straight.

As the saying goes, behind every luxury car, there is a driver who is tired of driving it.

"Let's go, let's go. Another predictable check-in session."

"I can recite the process with my eyes closed: Ji Bai starts speaking → foreigner asks questions → three sentences to explain → foreigner suddenly understands → leave work on time in the afternoon."

"Season God: Four Major Guesses, One Update Per Day, Leaving get off work on Time, Never Working Overtime"

"Going to recharge now, the main event is tomorrow! I bet IMU is definitely planning something big!"

"Will IMU really intervene? Surely they're not such a sore loser?"

Don't overestimate the integrity of Westerners!

"The first four days are our home turf, where we can present our evidence and they can't find any fault with us. The fifth day is for open Q&A, which is where we publicly defend our title. It's no wonder they won't let us off the hook."

"I'm already looking forward to it! I hope the foreigners do something really tough, so they don't last more than half an hour and it's not even enough to fill a tooth gap."

"The first four days are just appetizers; the fifth day is the final showdown!"

"Tomorrow, get your little stools ready and watch Ji Shen defend his title!"

The comments were sparse, and everyone tacitly understood the situation.

The real show begins on the fifth day.

The real final battle of this verification conference will be the free questioning by top scholars from around the world.

At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Ji Bai put down the chalk and looked at the silent meeting room: "Any more questions?"

The entire room fell silent; no one stood up.

"I hereby declare the Poincaré Conjecture proven!"

The applause was thunderous, but no one was surprised.

Four days, four century-old challenges, all solved.

The moment for Ji Bai to defend his title is finally here.

……

Day .

The fifth and final day of the verification conference.

Free debriefing and Q&A day.

The online buzz started soaring from midnight, and related topics immediately topped the trending search list. Everyone was waiting.

We await IMU's counter-move, this ultimate showdown, and how this five-day extravaganza will ultimately conclude.

In the suite of the Beijing Hotel, Ji Bai had just opened his eyes when the system notification sounded right on time.

[Ding! Daily selection activated!]

"Select a card for redemption!"

Ji Bai did not hesitate.

What day is it today?

In this final game where top scholars from around the world are launching a collective attack, we must stack up the buffs to the maximum.

[Ding! Redemption successful! Please specify the option category]

"Special category!"

[Ding! Options have been refreshed!]

If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?

1. Today's fortune is greatly improved (20 yuan).

2. Every decision you make today, big or small, will be proven at some point in the future to be the best choice at that time. (50 yuan)

3. The first thing you say after saying "I bet" today has a 70% chance of coming true (40 yuan).

4. Today, after you say "Excuse me," everyone in front of you will automatically make way for you to pass (20 yuan).

5. Everyone who wants to embarrass you today will embarrass themselves first in the same situation (20 yuan).

6. A beautiful girl will confess her love to you today (10 yuan)

……

Ji Bai glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.

This refresh was practically tailor-made for today's scene.

"I choose... 1, 2, 5, 6!"

His luck is at its peak, all his decisions are correct, those who want to harm him will automatically suffer the consequences, and he'll even get a bonus of a beautiful woman confessing her love to him.

Enough said, my greatsword is itching for a fight!
