Chapter 62 Are You Writing a Paper?
"Today is really killing me. I couldn't even pick up food with chopsticks when eating in the cafeteria just now."

Friday, August 2003, 8, in the men’s dormitory of Bauhinia Apartment.

As soon as Li Zhenya pushed the door open, he climbed onto the bed with difficulty and lay down, groaning and looking very painful.

He boasted that he regularly lifted dumbbells to exercise, and thought he should be able to cope with military training easily.

As a result, my limbs felt a little out of control the next day.

Wang Haitao and Liu Yang were in even worse condition. When they returned to the dormitory, they could only sit on a chair to rest and massage their leg muscles.

“I feel like these legs aren’t my own anymore.”

"There are still eighteen days of military training before it ends, and I heard that there will be some kind of off-campus rampage tomorrow."

"How can we live like this?"

Xu Yuan listened to the two people howling, but he did not join in.

Thanks to his physical fitness developed from daily morning jogging, he felt fine with the intensity of this military training. In fact, his body felt hungry faster than it did when he entered a deep learning state.

At this time, he took off his hot and sweaty military training uniform, turned around and spoke to the two of them with a smile.

"Aren't you all waiting to touch the gun? If you hold on a little longer, you will soon achieve this goal."

After hearing this, both of them sighed.

There's no other way, isn't that what military training is for?

Li Zhentao noticed that Xu Yuan had changed his clothes, and the next second he sat up from the bed and asked:
"Are you still planning to go out?"

Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally after a day of training. It just so happens that there is no training task this evening, so we must lie comfortably in bed.

But Xu Yuan changed his clothes on purpose, obviously he was going out.

Xu Yuan did not intentionally conceal anything. He answered Li Zhenya's questions directly and truthfully.

"I'm going to the school computer room."

He had already completed the process of proving the problem of the intervals between the infinite Carmichael numbers, and now he just needed to present it in the form of a paper. However, according to the regulations of Qinghua University, freshmen were not allowed to buy computers, so he could only go to the school computer room to write it.

There happens to be no training tasks in the evening, so I must make full use of these two or three hours.

In addition, he had extensive experience in writing papers in his previous life, so he might be able to complete his first paper before the end of the military training.

When Li Zhenya heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked like he had found a confidant. The fatigue he had felt before disappeared, and he jumped off the bed very swiftly.

"Xu Yuan, you are still playing games."

He shouted excitedly and made the decision without waiting for Xu Yuan's answer.

"I went there with you, and I just happened to find some very fun games during the summer vacation."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan nodded indifferently: "Okay."

Although he didn't go to the computer room to play games, it didn't affect Li Zhenya's play.

When Wang Haitao saw Xu Yuan and Li Zhenya were still going to the computer room, he stared at them as if they were monsters.

"Is this the expected effect of exercising? After a day of military training, I still have the energy to play games."

Unfortunately, he lost his temper after just saying two sentences.

"never mind."

"Include me, too."

"I haven't seen the computer room in our school yet, so I'll risk my life to accompany you guys around tonight."

-

Liu Yang listened to the conversation between the three people, but felt a little hard to accept.

How come Brother Yuan, who put study first and was highly respected by him just a few days ago, suddenly became addicted to games?

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

In the end, he could only wave his hands helplessly.

"I stayed to look after the house, and now I just want to go back to bed."

After everyone else left, Liu Yang climbed onto the bed with difficulty, took out a textbook on mathematical analysis from under his pillow, and began to study it carefully after turning to the part he had not finished reading last time.

……

Not long after.

Xu Yuan, Li Zhenya, Wang Haitao and others came to the computer room. Looking around, there were crowds of people.

Very lively.

Several people found their seats and sat down, and boarded the plane in a civilized manner according to the regulations.

But soon Li Zhenya discovered a cruel fact, that is, he was not allowed to play games in the school computer room. However, based on the traditional virtue of being here, he did not just get up and leave. Instead, he opened the school's official forum and read the posts there with great interest.

But what is certain is that he probably won't come again unless there are special circumstances.

Xu Yuan had never written a theoretical mathematics paper in the traditional sense, but he had studied the literature materials sent by Tang Shihong many times.

With his complete proof of the interval problem, I can start writing the first draft of the paper.

After getting on the computer, as time passed, he was completely immersed in it, his fingers flying on the keyboard.

At this moment, a shocked shout suddenly sounded from behind.

"Fuck!"

"What did I see..."

Hearing the voice, Xu Yuan came out of his state, stopped what he was doing, turned his head and glanced, and found that there was a boy standing behind him.

The other party seemed to realize that what he said just now was inappropriate and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand.

When I looked at his face, I felt a sense of familiarity.

"you are?"

"I also attended Professor Tang's open class that day. After class, I even asked my classmates to ask for your phone number." Zhang Jundong forced a smile and said, "But I didn't expect you to be a freshman in the three-character class."

Although he is already a sophomore, he is allowed to buy a computer according to regulations.

However, due to the high price of computers, which are beyond the reach of ordinary families, students still have to go to the school computer room to use computers.

I happened to see Xu Yuan again today. I wanted to say hello and talk about the previous misunderstanding, but I was shocked as soon as I stood behind him.

Xu Yuan was somewhat embarrassed after recognizing the other person, but he still called him "senior".

"Hello, senior."

Zhang Jundong's attention was no longer on Xu Yuan at this moment. He simply ignored the call of "senior" and pointed at the screen in disbelief.

“Are you writing a paper?”

"correct."

Xu Yuan nodded and admitted it generously, as if he was talking about a very common thing.

But these two simple words made Zhang Jundong feel like a critical hit.

I thought, is this the strength of an Olympic gold medalist?

As a student at a prestigious university, writing a paper is something that everyone must go through, but it should definitely be started in the junior or senior year.

Trying to write a paper while still in military training gave these seniors a strong sense of urgency.

Think carefully about what you did when you were a freshman...

"Then write slowly."

Worried that his self-esteem would be hurt if he stayed any longer, Zhang Jundong responded casually and found an excuse to leave.

When a classmate who knew him saw him, he asked, "Dongzi, why are you leaving right after you got here?"

"It's up to you."

Xu Yuan looked at the other person's back as he left, shook his head, and re-entered the state of deep learning concentration, making the progress of completing this paper increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Twenty days passed in a blink of an eye, and all undergraduate freshmen completed the military training graduation report excellently on the playground, marking the official start of university life.

As for Xu Yuan, he has also completed his first paper.

And translate it into English.

Thinking that I had never published a mathematical paper before and there might be errors in the format of citations, I decided to ask Tang Shihong for help.

Moreover, at the final presentation of the mathematics winter camp, he had asked the other party about the Carmichael number problem.
