"Then will this academic exchange conference still be held at our Qinghua School of Mathematics? We will definitely fully cooperate with any requests."

Liao Fangyi did not hesitate at this time, and immediately looked at Ma Zhiming in front of him and asked.

There is no doubt that the standards of this academic conference will be much higher than the previous mathematics conference, and even the participants will be mainly well-known mathematicians and scholars in the mathematics community.

After all, this is a report on the ultimate problem in number theory.

If Qinghua provides the venue, it will also be helpful in increasing its visibility in the mathematics community.

Ma Zhiming knew that Xu Yuan held this academic conference mainly for the subsequent development of the Journal of Mathematics.

There are no requirements for the venue.

What's more, Xu Yuan is Qinghua's mathematics professor.

Hearing this, he answered without any hesitation: "The venue will be held at the Qinghua School of Mathematics. The organizers will be the Journal of Mathematics, Qinghua, the Department of Mathematics of Yenching University, and the Chinese Mathematical Council. We will strive to create an event that is no less grand than the International Congress of Mathematicians." In just a few words, he quickly made the general situation clear.

As early as a few years ago, Yenching hosted the International Congress of Mathematicians.

The number of participants that year was the highest in history.

With relevant hosting experience, it will not be difficult to create another grand event for the mathematics community this time.

After listening to Ma Zhiming's words, Liao Fangyi naturally had no objection.

The next second he said firmly: "The conference is arranged by Academician Ma, there will be no mistakes on our side."

"This is going to be lively. The domestic mathematics community hasn't held an event of this scale for a long time." After listening to the conversation between the two, Tang Shihong's smile suddenly became brighter.

Ever since the last International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Yenching, the domestic mathematics community has been doing little more than making a fuss.

Before Xu Yuan proved the infinite number of Carmichael numbers, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the field was stagnant.

Now that the Goldbach conjecture has been solved by Xu Yuan, it is likely that many mathematicians and scholars in China are looking forward to holding such an academic conference.

In the following time, Ma Zhiming suddenly thought of something and had to put the academic conference on hold for the time being.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"correct."

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"Today a CCTV news reporter will interview you and it will be broadcast on the news tomorrow night."

"I heard that the station is planning to extend the time to 40 minutes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "You can't refuse the mission request from above."

After hearing what Ma Zhiming said, Xu Yuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and was obviously worried that he would refuse.

But in fact, even if Ma Zhiming had not reminded him of this, he would not have refused the exclusive interview with CCTV.

After all, this is different from other media bombardment-style interviews. It is mainly aimed at publicizing the country's achievements in mathematics to the public, which helps to enhance the sense of pride in the hearts of the people.

At the same time, it makes more people interested in mathematics, forming a virtuous circle.

It should be noted that if the domestic mathematics community wants to develop in the future, a steady stream of fresh blood is the most important thing.

I remember that when he won the Gauss Prize, it was also reported on the 7 o'clock news.

It was just a piece of news inserted in the middle.

And according to what Ma Zhiming just said, tomorrow's news time will be increased from the original half an hour to forty minutes.

That means his shot will be as long as ten minutes.

It can indeed be called a presence.

You have to know that the advertising fee for even one minute of the CCTV prime time is quite high.

This shows that his proof of the Goldbach conjecture and publication of the Journal of Mathematics did play a huge role in the rise of the domestic mathematics community.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yuan nodded and said: "I will cooperate with the news reporters of the Central Radio and Television Station."

"That's right, none of us have ever received such treatment." Ma Zhiming laughed and joked.

He was indeed right in saying this. Even when he was successfully selected as a member of the Academy of Sciences, he was only listed as a new member in the news.

It’s considered good if there are dozens of seconds of footage.

But besides envy, they were more relieved.

After all, no matter what honors Xu Yuan has received, they are all obtained through his own mathematical talent and strength.

As senior figures in mathematics, they can only be happy to see such rising stars in the field.

That's where things are going.

After that, they had a preliminary discussion on some issues concerning the academic conference before leaving.

Ma Zhiming did not even stop and could not wait to return to the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science to immediately busy himself with the specific time and related procedures for the academic conference.

……

……

Just as Ma Zhiming informed, the CCTV news crew drove to Qinghua campus in the afternoon.

Liao Fangyi, director of the School of Mathematics, personally received these people and led them to Xu Yuan's office.

"Director Liao."

"Is there anything we should pay special attention to during this interview with Professor Xu?"

On the way to Xu Yuan's office, CCTV reporter and female host Zhou Tao humbly asked Liao Fangyi beside her for advice, fearing that the interview might turn out unpleasant and disrupt her plans.

She is considered one of the better reporters and hosts of CCTV. She can control the rhythm with ease whether she is interviewing industry leaders or ordinary students. Logically, she should not have any worries about this interview.

However, Xu Yuan was so special that she couldn't help but get nervous when she received the arrangement from the leaders of the station.

She didn't know how long it had been since she last felt this emotion.

The main reason is that Xu Yuan is, at most, a recent college graduate, but he has become a full professor at Qinghua University.

He has also achieved brilliant results in the field of mathematics. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one in domestic mathematics.

Genius among geniuses.

In addition, from the information she obtained, Xu Yuan also serves as a researcher at the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute.

Although I don’t know the specifics of this researcher title, it is definitely not simple.

It was precisely because of this contrast in age and status that she was unable to grasp the style and rhythm of the interview.

You have to know that the task given by the station leaders is to report on Xu Yuan for ten minutes.

Liao Fangyi listened to the words of the female reporter host, but he was not surprised at all.

After all, even he didn't know when Xu Yuan would bring a surprise to everyone.

However, in order to ensure a smooth interview, he organized his words a little and spoke a few more words.

"Don't worry, reporter Zhou. Professor Xu will cooperate with you and it will definitely not affect the interview."

"Then I feel much more relieved." Zhou Tao responded with a smile.

Soon Liao Fangyi and the crew arrived outside the office and immediately knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Liao Fangyi heard the familiar voice, pushed the door open, and then said to Xu Yuan who was sitting next to the computer with a smile on his face:

"This is reporter Zhou Taozhou from the headquarters. As for the specific details of the interview, you can discuss it among yourselves."

"I still need to discuss the conference with Academician Ma, so I won't bother you for now."

After finishing his story, he turned around and left without waiting for Xu Yuan to speak, and his figure soon disappeared from sight.

This shows the importance attached to this mathematics academic exchange conference.

Xu Yuan had known for a long time that there would be an interview, so he was not surprised by the arrival of reporters and film crew.

Seeing that Liao Fangyi had become a hands-off boss, he had no choice but to take charge.

"Hello, reporter Zhou."

"Please take a seat."

He took the initiative to reach out his hand, shook it lightly, then let go, and sat down on the sofa next to him.

As for the other crew members, they began to get busy setting up various filming equipment.

Zhou Tao looked at the boy in front of him who was much younger than him, but he did not dare to look down on him at all.

This is not only because of Professor Fang Qinghua's identity, but also because he brought glory to the country by proving the Goldbach conjecture, forcing the international mathematics community to begin to take the domestic mathematics community seriously.

"Professor Xu, can we start our interview now?"

"Anytime." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

After getting Xu Yuan's affirmative answer, Zhou Tao did not rush into the main topic of the interview with Xu Yuan.

He took a quick look around Xu Yuan's office, and finally his eyes stopped on the computer on the desk.

Then he asked, "When we came in just now, we saw you, Professor Xu, working. Can you talk to us briefly?" He chose to liven up the atmosphere in this almost chatty way.

When Xu Yuan heard this question, he did not keep the question in suspense but answered it directly and truthfully.

"In fact, I just sent an email to Viscount Deligne and others, as well as the Clay Mathematics Institute, to express my gratitude."

There was no falsehood in what he said. Seeing that Deligne, Tao Terence and the Clay Mathematics Institute all expressed their congratulations and were happy for his complete solution to the Goldbach conjecture, he naturally wrote an email to reply in time to express his gratitude.

Before Zhou Tao came, he naturally learned all the information and knew the current lively situation in the mathematics community.

After completing the initial communication, the two people's topic gradually began to get to the point.

From Xu Yuan's initial exposure to mathematics and participating in competitions, to his emergence by publishing his first paper in the Annals of Mathematics, to his participation in the Congress of Mathematicians and winning the Gauss Prize.

To this day, he has proved the Goldbach conjecture and established his absolute authority in the field of number theory.

To sum it all up, it is simply a legendary history of mathematics.

What's more, Xu Yuan was born in the countryside and completed three years of high school in a small county town.

The entire interview lasted half an hour, and by the end Zhou Tao was becoming more and more frightened the more he listened.

She could even imagine how much influence Xu Yuan's mathematical experience would have after being broadcast on the news. She was afraid that the number of people applying for mathematics majors this year would increase significantly.

“Thank you Professor Xu for sharing your mathematical legend with us. I hope you can achieve greater success in mathematics in the future.”

"Thank you."

Xu Yuan stood up and shook hands with the other party again, with a humble smile on his face all the time.

The whole interview went very smoothly.

Although the number of interviews he has given is relatively limited, the news reports he has participated in are all high-quality.

It is clear how to report during the interview.

After Xu Yuan sent Zhou Tao and others out of the office, special personnel from the school took over the contact.

He doesn't need to worry about it.

After all, the upcoming academic exchange conference is very important and is related to whether the Journal of Mathematics can further maintain its influence internationally. He does not have much time to receive these station staff.

However, when he was the only one left in the office, he skillfully took out his mobile phone and sent a message home.

"It was a full ten minutes of CCTV news coverage. This time, my family got to watch it."

He muttered to himself, and when the call was connected, he told his parents that he was going to be on TV again.

Ms. Liang Yanli still keeps the habit of collecting news and will keep all the news reports about him.

If I don't tell my family in advance about something like this being on the 7pm news program on CCTV, my parents will definitely miss it and call me repeatedly to ask about it.

It would be fine if he didn't know about it in advance, but since Zhou Tao made it clear before he left that the content would be broadcast tomorrow, he must have notified his parents in advance and let them wait in front of the TV.

really.

When Ms. Liang Yanli and Xu Jianguo heard that their son was on the news again, they could not help but feel happy even though they were so far apart.

The excited and joyful voice on the other end of the phone almost overflowed from the receiver.

He immediately said that he would watch TV on time.

He also said that he would call Xu Ying back so that the whole family could witness Xu Yuan's highlight moment together.

After finishing the interview, Xu Yuan returned to his house near Qinghuayuan in the evening and naturally told Chen Yuran about these things. After listening, Chen Yuran suggested that they watch the news together tomorrow night.

Xu Yuan naturally would not refuse this.

The next day.

It may be an intentional arrangement, and related news has also appeared on the Internet.

It was clearly stated that the evening news would broadcast a special report on Xu Yuan.

As soon as the proof of the Goldbach conjecture was announced, the entire mathematical community was immersed in joy, and Xu Yuan was recognized as an authority in the field of number theory.

It can be said that now is the time when everyone is chasing after Xu Yuan, especially students who regard Xu Yuan as an idol.

The popularity he has already surpassed that of more well-known domestic stars.

At this time, when I learned that Xu Yuan would be on the 7pm news, I would definitely pay attention to it.

So much so that many people are discussing this issue during the day on platforms such as Tieba Penguin Group.

Those who don’t know might think it’s the Spring Festival Gala.

"God Xu is going to be on CCTV news. Looks like I have to stay in front of the TV today."

"This is already the second time, it's really impressive."

"I heard that today's news broadcast will be extended, which is rare."

"Some stars' fans should stop trying to cause trouble. If you have the guts, make your stars appear on CCTV news first."

"What if there is no TV? Can I go to an Internet cafe to watch it?"

"Not only did I have to watch it myself, I also asked my ten-year-old son to watch it, and he had to write a review after watching it."

"I'm so envious."

"Don't be envious. Now that you have proved the difficult problem of the Millennium Prize, you will probably also have this honor."

……

Wednesday, April 2008, 5.

In the afternoon, in a tobacco and alcohol shop near a residential area in Luyang, the provincial capital, Ms. Liang Yanli sat behind the counter and chatted with old customers who came to buy things with a smile.

"I heard that your great professor has solved another math problem. He seems to be quite impressive."

“It’s all on the news.”

"That's true. Sister Li, you can watch the news tonight. My Xiaoyuan said it will be reported." Liang Yanli skillfully took out a plastic bag and said casually with a smile while helping to pack things.

The middle-aged woman called Sister Li was immediately surprised when she heard this.

"It's all on the news, so it must be a big deal."

Then he picked up the things he bought and continued, "Your son is so proud of becoming a professor at such a young age. Unlike our son who just hangs out in the Internet cafe every day. At night, I will definitely let him watch TV and study hard." He was furious when he mentioned his son.

Liang Yanli quickly echoed and said that when the child grows up, he might become sensible and successful.

Having run a tobacco shop here for several years, she is very familiar with things like today's.

I remember that when I first opened the store, my son was just the top scorer in the imperial examination admitted to Qinghua University.

At that time, many people would ask her for advice on good practices in educating children when buying things.

I want to know how to train Qinghua University students.

Her answer to this was always simple, that is, she didn't care much at all.

After all, she and Xu Jianguo had been working in the provincial capital to support their two children's schooling.

It is very difficult to make a phone call to my children when I am so far away from them.

How can we talk about family education?

The good thing is that both children are very sensible. Not only the eldest daughter was admitted to an undergraduate normal college through her own efforts, but the youngest son even became a professor.

When the surrounding customers and neighbors learned about this situation, they were filled with pure envy.

I understand that the prerequisite for wanting your child to become a dragon is that your child is really a dragon. It takes many years for someone as outstanding as Xu Yuan to appear.

At this time, the customer had just left the store when he saw Xu Jianguo parked his car outside.

After getting out of the car, he said, "It's getting late. Let's close the store early and go home. Yingying will be back soon."

"We'll close the door right away." Liang Yanli replied immediately after hearing this.

The couple were in a hurry to get home, fearing they would miss the evening news and not see their son, so they naturally did not stay in the store all the time.

that's it.

As time passes by.

It was soon approaching seven in the evening.

at the same time.

In the news studio of Yanjing Radio and Television Station, the two excellent hosts, one male and one female, who are required by standard, are also making intensive preparations.

"Today's news will last for 40 minutes. Please keep a good pace."

Following the reminder from the person in charge of the control room, the news broadcast, known as the national program, officially began.

The scene turned to a house near Qinghua Garden. Chen Yuran specially cooked a few dishes and dragged Xu Yuan to watch in front of the TV. When the familiar music sounded, the whole person seemed very excited.

"It finally begins."

My eyes stayed on the TV, and I saw the two news anchors first telling the audience that today's news would be forty minutes long, and then they officially started the detailed content.

It is obvious that the report about Xu Yuan should be in the last ten minutes of overtime.

This allowed Chen Yuran to distract herself temporarily, and she looked at Xu Yuan and asked about yesterday's interview.

"What clothes did you wear for the interview?"

"The one from yesterday." Xu Yuan responded truthfully without thinking too much.

The next second, Chen Yuran pouted her lips and said regretfully, "It's a pity that you didn't wear the suit I bought for you, otherwise you would look good on camera."

"Aren't you afraid that the photo will turn out too good? There will be many girls in school competing with you." Xu Yuan thought of something and teased Chen Yuran with a smile on his face.

On the other hand, Chen Yuran smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. The fact that you are liked by so many people shows that you are good enough."

As the two of them ate and chatted, the hands of the clock hanging on the wall soon reached half past seven.

Familiar words suddenly came into my ears.

"Welcome to today's special report. Recently, Xu Yuan, the youngest mathematics professor at Qinghua University, successfully proved the ultimate problem in number theory, the Goldbach conjecture."

"This conjecture has troubled the mathematical community for more than two hundred years."

"Currently, Professor Deligne of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Fields Medal winner Terence Tao, and the Clay Mathematics Institute have all given their certification."

"This marks that our achievements in number theory have reached the world's leading level."

"Please read the detailed report next."

……

Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran sat together, watching the news reports about their mathematical legends.

Obviously, such a great honor should be a very happy thing, but for some reason he felt a little regretful.

If I had solved the Millennium Prize puzzle today, perhaps I would feel more satisfied.

As the ultimate problem in the field of number theory, the Goldbach conjecture is indeed well-known.

But ever since the Clay Mathematics Institute announced the Millennium Prize problem and offered a reward of US$7 million, solving one of the problems has become the greatest pursuit of countless mathematicians.

This is also true for Xu Yuan.

He has emerged in the mathematics world by virtue of his ability to enter deep learning at any time, his agile thinking and inspirational learning speed, as well as the panel progress bar to solve difficult problems one by one.

Now I have finally touched the highest temple of mathematics. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely study the Millennium Prize problem.

Even if I can only solve one of them, I will have no regrets in mathematics.

Of course, he has a lot of things to deal with right now, and he can't concentrate on studying the Millennium Problem in a short period of time.

However, he was sure that if he announced the news, the person who would be happiest would definitely be Professor Wells of the Clay Mathematics Institute.

You have to know that the other party sent him a letter of challenge a long time ago.

Just as Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran were watching the news attentively, at the same time in different cities, many people were excited about the same thing.

Xu Yuan's parents and sister were especially happy and proud of his achievements.

Another thing that is certain is that this is a special ten-minute report tonight.

Many middle school and high school students have planted the seeds in their hearts to apply for mathematics majors in the future. No matter how many of them eventually sprout and grow into big trees, they will promote the development and rise of the domestic mathematics community.

-

It can be seen that Ma Zhiming is really concerned about this academic conference. As soon as Friday arrived, he confirmed the specific time of the conference.

We also extended a sincere invitation to mathematicians around the world through various official accounts in China.

The academic conference was jointly organized by the Chinese Journal of Mathematics, Qinghua University, Yenching University and the Mathematical Council.

The entire conference is expected to last seven days.

In addition to the on-site report on the proof of the Goldbach conjecture, we will also accept papers and provide guidance, which can be published directly in the Journal of Mathematics after completion.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

Once the relevant news was released, it quickly caused a new round of sensation in the mathematics community.

Whether you are a mathematician at home or abroad, if you want to improve your mathematical thinking and level, the best way is undoubtedly to seek guidance from a mathematical master.

Xu Yuan is indeed very young, but he is already a well-deserved famous mathematician.

Especially in the field of number theory, even Deligne has publicly admitted that he is inferior to him.

In this case, one can imagine how much it would help improve one's own strength if one could receive guidance from Xu Yuan.

The cost of just publishing a paper in the Journal of Mathematics is completely negligible.

What's more, Acta Mathematica Sinica is also a mathematics journal that has published a paper proving the Goldbach conjecture.

In addition, after this incident, the impact factor has increased significantly, and some people are eager to submit their papers.

So with everyone's continuous discussions, more and more mathematicians expressed their desire to sign up.

Even due to Xu Yuan's personal charm overseas, the conference was the most discussed overseas.

"If Xu Yuanzhi can really guide my thesis, I will definitely be the first to sign up."

“This is really heartwarming news.”

"I admire Xu's achievements in mathematics. It's great to meet my idol."

"How do I sign up?"

"With Xu Yuan here, the Journal of Mathematics will definitely be very powerful in the future."

"I can guarantee here that the number of participants in their academic conference this time may be higher than the last mathematicians' conference."

……

In Princeton, New Jersey, in the editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics, Holt looked at the latest hot topics of discussion in the mathematics interactive community, and his face looked very unhappy.

Previously, Xu Yuan published a paper proving the Goldbach conjecture in an unknown mathematical journal.

Apart from expressing deep regret, he did not take the Journal of Mathematics seriously.

It is believed that with the negligible impact factor of the Journal of Mathematics Sinica, even if it publishes a paper proving the Millennium Prize problem, it will not be able to grow into a top journal in the field of mathematics.

This will not pose a threat to their mathematical annual.

But this thought didn't last for a few days before I discovered that the other party had taken new actions.

In addition to announcing the holding of a mathematics academic exchange conference, he also attracted fresh blood to the Journal of Mathematics by guiding paper submission.

Given the current enthusiasm in the mathematics community, if the conference is successfully held, it will indeed further increase the influence of the Journal of Mathematics.

If this journal is recognized by major universities, then even if it cannot reach the level of the four top journals in the field of mathematics, it will probably be able to gain a firm foothold in the international mathematics community.

If this is true, and with the presence of Xu Yuan, a future mathematics master, there may be a chance to become a competitor to the Annals of Mathematics.

It was already difficult for their Annals of Mathematics to maintain its position among the other three top journals after losing Xu Yuan's paper. With another competitor, the situation would only get worse.

So in this situation, something must be done.

His thought stayed here. He withdrew his gaze from the screen and raised his eyes to look at the other editors present.

"You all already know the situation. Please share your views and opinions on the academic exchange conference held by the Journal of Mathematics."

After he finished speaking, there was silence for more than ten seconds before someone started talking.

“Although Acta Mathematica Sinica is the most famous mathematics journal in the other country, its impact factor is only a few tenths of a percent, and the quality of the papers included in it is also very low. I don’t think it will pose a threat to our Mathematical Annals.”

“Every journal that can become a top journal in the academic field has gone through a long period of accumulation and operation. It is not just a matter of one person making it rise quickly in a short period of time.”

“We should now find ways to accept better papers and ensure first publication status in mathematics.”

"Xu Yuan's achievements in mathematics are simply legendary. Every step he has taken is a miracle to me. Perhaps he can continue to create miracles."

"The other party gave up our mathematics yearbook, so we can't participate in this Yenching Mathematics Academic Exchange Conference."

Holt listened to everyone's words and understood that the two sides held different views.

Although he had not been worried about the Journal of Mathematics before, facing the fast-changing trends in the mathematics community, he had to calm down and think more.

Especially when he thought back to every time Xu Yuan submitted a paper, he immediately made a decision in his mind.

"I will discuss with Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study to ask mathematicians in the institute to give up attending this conference. In addition, mathematicians with whom we have cooperative relations can also be informed of this matter."

As he spoke these words in a deep voice, he was basically certain of it.

Yes.

His approach is simple.

As the top journal in the field of mathematics, Annals of Mathematics has naturally had many connections with outstanding mathematicians over the years.

By persuading them to give up attending the conference as much as possible, we can effectively reduce the influence that the Journal of Mathematics can gain.

When the other editors heard this, some of them did not quite agree with it in their hearts.

I feel that it deviates from the original intention of pure mathematics.

But in the end, although his lips moved, he didn't speak.

at the same time.

International Mathematical Union Headquarters.

Rotter, who was the chairman of the alliance at the time, was also paying attention to the news about the proof of the Goldbach conjecture.

The Goldbach conjecture is a well-known problem in the field of number theory. It has been proposed for more than two hundred years, and the latest proof is the proof of 1+2 by Chen Jingrun half a century ago.

If the Goldbach conjecture is truly solved, it will be a blessing for the entire mathematical community.

It is also a new milestone in the field of number theory.

As the most authoritative organization in mathematics, the International Mathematical Union naturally has the responsibility to make things clear.

But precisely because of their special nature, we cannot respond immediately.

We must ensure that the conclusion is indeed established.

Otherwise, if it was announced that the Goldbach conjecture had been solved and someone later found the fault, wouldn't the authority of the entire International Mathematical Union be reduced?

Then the situation will become unfavorable.

In the headquarters office, Rothel asked the female assistant in front of him about the details.

"What is the current attitude of the academic community towards Xu Yuan's proof of the Goldbach conjecture?"

The blonde assistant immediately replied: "With the release of verification results in recent days by Viscount Deligne, last year's Fields Medal winner Terence Tao, and the Clay Mathematics Institute, the mathematical community now believes that the proof of the Goldbach conjecture is valid." Obviously, this information had been collected in advance.

"It seems that this paper must be very exciting. He is indeed the youngest mathematical genius in the mathematics world."

"It is the right thing to do to award him the Gauss Prize." Rothel nodded and praised.

The scene of Xu Yuan receiving the award at the Mathematicians' Conference emerged in my mind, and I admired this mathematical genius very much.

Then he asked, "How is our number theory verification team doing with the proof of this paper?"

He himself was not good at number theory, so he simply arranged a team of number theorists within the alliance to verify Xu Yuan's paper on the Goldbach conjecture.

After all, as a prestigious International Mathematical Union, it certainly cannot just rely on the results of the Deligneclare Mathematical Institute.

You need to have your own conclusions to ensure the rigor and accuracy of mathematics.

Faced with Rotel's question, the blonde female assistant did not dare to hide it and immediately responded.

"The verification results of the paper have come out, and the scholars who participated in the verification all praised the paper very much."

“Think it’s a perfect paper.”

"The authors boldly used two improved sieve methods and combined them with group theory to prove the Goldbach conjecture."

After hearing this, Rothel felt relieved. Since many parties had reached the same conclusion, it meant that Xu Yuan had indeed completely solved the Goldbach conjecture and created a new milestone.

He naturally hoped to see this result, and now that he had achieved his wish, he was very happy.

Then he told his female assistant: "The ultimate problem in the field of number theory has been completely solved for the first time. Our International Mathematical Union should send a congratulatory message to recognize its contribution to the development of mathematics."

However, after receiving the order, the female assistant did not leave immediately to do the job.

Instead, he still stood in front of the desk, as if he had something to say.

Rothel and his female assistant had worked together for many years, and he quickly understood what was happening when he saw this scene.

A smile appeared on his bearded cheeks, and he asked casually again, "Anything else?"

Hearing this, the female assistant no longer hesitated. She organized her words a little before continuing.

"Yes, there is one more thing."

"The latest news I just got today is that the Journal of Mathematics where Xu published his paper suddenly announced that an academic exchange conference will be held at Qinghua University at the end of the month."

“Now a lot of people are ready to participate.”

After listening to the female assistant's words, Roth immediately understood the reason for her hesitation.

The International Congress of Mathematicians is held every four years. Although the venues vary, they are all organized by the International Mathematical Union. It is undoubtedly the most lively and grand academic exchange conference in the mathematics world.

The reason why the Journal of Mathematics and Qinghua hold conferences nowadays is that they have so much popularity and attention overseas.

With Xu Yuan's personal charm, if the conference is really successful, the number of participants will probably be even more exciting than that of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

The female assistant is worried that the authority of the International Congress of Mathematicians will decline in the future, and it is normal to have such considerations.

After figuring out the whole situation, Rothel thought about it for a moment and immediately came up with a plan in his mind. He still had a faint smile on his face and looked very calm.

“Whether proving the Goldbach conjecture or holding the conference, it’s good for the mathematics community.”

“And it helps advance mathematics.”

"We, the International Mathematical Union, still support this kind of behavior."

After saying this in a deep voice, he stopped expressing his opinion, and the female assistant understood what to do.

"Then I'll do it right away."

He nodded in response and immediately turned around and left.

On the same day that Rotter finished his conversation with his female assistant, the International Mathematical Union finally made a statement in the mathematics community.

A formal congratulatory message was sent to Xu Yuan, congratulating him on completely solving the Goldbach conjecture.

In addition, they also expressed their support in an official manner for the academic conference to be held at Qinghua University at the end of the month.

Originally, this academic exchange conference was very popular and even attracted attention in the overseas mathematics community.

Now with the support of the International Mathematical Union, the number of people who want to participate will undoubtedly see a new increase soon.

As for the Annals of Mathematics, except for the collaborating mathematicians from Princeton University, they are not very convinced and are still planning the same as before.

The main reason is that the more famous a mathematician is in the mathematics community, the less he or she feels obliged to give face to the Annals of Mathematics.

After all, there is more than one top journal in the field of mathematics, and it is the same to publish papers in other journals.

On the contrary, the Annals of Mathematics will become more and more likely to show signs of watering down its journal content because it cannot receive high-quality papers.

The relevant news first appeared overseas, causing great surprise to a number of scholars who wanted to attend the conference.

After the news spread back to China, netizens were also excited about it and began to post comments using the format of the International Mathematical Union.

"The Department of Mathematics at Yenching University sent a congratulatory message."

"Jincheng sent a congratulatory message!"

"Even the International Mathematical Union has certified it. Now I wonder who dares to question Master Xu."

“It feels like the Fields Medal has already been booked for the next International Congress of Mathematicians.”

"This is truly a grand event in the mathematics world. I'm already looking forward to it."

Xu Yuan has been busy with the early completion of the Young Elite Scientists project these days. After completing the relevant completion report, he formally applied to the fund committee for completion.

Although it has only been a year since I received the Young Elite Scientists Program, since the Goldbach conjecture has been solved, there is naturally no need to carry such a mathematics project topic.

Therefore, I don’t know much about the situation online. I only know that many people in the hospital are busy preparing for the conference at the end of the month.

However, even if he didn't pay attention to the fact that the International Mathematical Union sent a congratulatory message, he certainly couldn't ignore it.

As soon as he arrived at the office after lunch in the morning, Xu Yuan saw Academician Ma Zhiming turning into his office. His slightly tired face could not hide his excited smile.

"Good news!"

He started shouting before he even entered the office.

"Last night, the International Mathematical Union also certified your proof. Now no one in the mathematics community will question it anymore."

“In addition, the International Mathematical Union also expressed support for our holding of the conference.”

"The number of participants in this conference is estimated to be greater than that of the previous Yenching International Mathematicians' Congress. I never thought that our Journal of Mathematics could achieve this level."

After listening to Ma Zhiming's words and learning about the attitude of the International Mathematical Union, Xu Yuan immediately felt much more relaxed.

“It is indeed good news. With the support of the International Mathematical Union, it will be much easier to hold a mathematics conference.”

"In short, just wait for the conference to begin, and leave the other matters to us." Ma Zhiming patted Xu Yuan's shoulder and instructed in a deep voice.

Since he still had some matters to discuss with Qinghua School of Mathematics, he left in a hurry after finishing his words.

Xu Yuan stayed behind to continue perfecting his final report, and at the same time looked forward to the official opening of the Mathematics Academic Exchange Conference.
