From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 164 Heading to Paris

“The above is my thesis. Teachers, do you have any questions?”

School of Mathematical Sciences, in a small academic lecture hall.

Lin Xiao stood on the stage, finished narrating his graduation thesis, and then looked at the teachers present with a smile.

At a glance, except for the five defending teachers sitting in the first row, the entire academic lecture hall was almost filled with other teachers and professors who came to watch his defense.

Although it is a small lecture hall, it can still accommodate seventy or eighty people. As a result, the teachers who came after hearing the news were all occupied. Some teachers even moved from the next room when they saw that there were no seats. A few chairs and then sitting in the aisle.

There is no way, for Lin Xiao, a mathematical genius who has become famous in the country and in the world of mathematics before officially entering the school. After entering the school, he directly completed the proof of Goldbach’s conjecture. His graduation defense, these Of course the teachers wanted to come and have a look.

As a result, there are more than 30 teachers from the School of Mathematical Sciences, plus more than 30 teachers from the School of Physics and the School of Chemistry, in addition to school leaders, including the principal, vice-principal, etc., as well as professors from other schools.

All added up, a total of more than ninety people came running over.

These teachers are basically full professors, and there are only a few associate professors. There are no young lecturers. They will probably be kicked out by other professors who have no positions.

As for the academicians among the more than 90 people, there are more than 20, especially academicians of mathematics and academicians of chemistry and materials. Needless to say, academicians of mathematics and academicians of chemistry and materials also come. Naturally, It was because of Lin Xiao’s paper a few months ago that this genius, who originally belonged to the world of mathematics, became a popular figure in the world of chemistry and materials.

Facing such a scene, Lin Xiaodu once felt as if he had returned to the report on Goldbach’s conjecture in the Great Hall of the People.

He is probably the only student in the country who can make such a fuss during his undergraduate graduation defense… He should be more confident and remove the possibility.

After seeing Lin Xiao finish narrating the thesis, the teacher responsible for the defense also needed to ask questions.

As for these defending teachers, they are all academicians.

“Page 5, why is your equation 1 smaller than equation 2?”

An old academician asked with a smile.

Lin Xiao turned to the fifth page of the paper and took a look, then smiled slightly and replied: “This conclusion can be obtained by integrating both sides of [τ1, θ] and using (B)-(C) .”

Then, he picked up the chalk and wrote the argument process on the blackboard.

“Um.”

Seeing Lin Xiao write down the proof process quickly, the old academician smiled and nodded, “Not bad, not bad.”

“Thanks.”

Lin Xiao nodded to the old academician. This old academician was in his seventies and had been retired for many years. However, he took the initiative to be his defense teacher. Lin Xiao was dumbfounded when he learned the news, but it also showed that he Attention to him.

Then another academician asked a question.

In fact, asking questions is just a process. The defense is to test the students’ mastery of their thesis and then find out the flaws. But what could be wrong with Lin Xiao’s thesis?

So after the five defending teachers asked random questions, one of the academicians laughed and said: “This paper has been published in one area, and I still have to come to defend it. Isn’t it a waste of time?”

This academician is Academician Yuan Ya, the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society. Although he is not an academician of Peking University, he came as an expert from another school to serve as the defense teacher this time.

After hearing what Academician Yuan said, several other academicians nodded, stood up with a smile, and clapped towards Lin Xiao.

Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded.

The applause was naturally for Lin Xiao’s graduation.

Seeing this young man completing his graduation, they couldn’t help but think of what they were like when they graduated. At that time, they didn’t have such a big classroom, and how could there be so many people coming to see it.

Looking at Lin Xiao, they all sighed in their hearts, each generation is getting stronger than the last.

At this time, as Lin Xiao’s advisor, Xu Ji also stood up and said with a smile: “Classmate Lin Xiao, congratulations on completing all your undergraduate studies with excellent results.”

“Thank you, Teacher Xu, and thank you all the teachers for taking care of me.”

Lin Xiao had a smile on his face, and then bowed to every teacher present.

At this point, his life has once again completed a stage.

The academicians present also came up one after another and sent their blessings to Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao also shook hands with them one by one and thanked them.

It wasn’t until an hour later that Lin Xiao returned to Xu Ji’s office.

“Here are your degree certificate and graduation certificate.”

Xu Ji handed two certificates symbolizing graduation to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and glanced at his ID photo, which looked as handsome as ever.

Is this what Peng Yuyan is like?

Then he accepted the two documents and said with a smile: “I thought it would take a month or two.”

Xu Ji chuckled and said, “In order to avoid affecting your schedule, you will start preparations after submitting your thesis. It will be prepared for ordinary undergraduates in a month or two. What if someone delays their graduation?”

Lin Xiao: “…that’s true.”

“Okay, that’s it. Oh, by the way, I have to prepare a graduation ceremony for you later.”

“No need to bother, right?” Lin Xiao was stunned and couldn’t help but say.

“This is really troublesome.” Xu Ji patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder: “You are the face of our School of Mathematics and Peking University. If we don’t even save your graduation photo, then we are The college has failed in its duty.”

“Think about it. In the future, when people search for the information of the prover of Goldbach’s conjecture, they can’t even find your college graduation photo. Will others feel very sorry?”

“Also, if someone asks our School of Mathematics to show you your graduation photo from our school, and it is not found, will our school lose face?”

“So let’s go together. The principal and others just wanted to take a photo with you.”

Hearing Xu Ji’s words, Lin Xiao touched his nose, as if… what he said did make sense?

“Are you leaving now?”

“Let’s go.”

As a result, Lin Xiao was taken to the school’s auditorium. As the only graduate in this graduation ceremony, Lin Xiao took a photo with at least ten college leaders and school leaders.

At this point, all the processes are truly completed.

“Okay, then you can come here when school starts next year.”

Xu Ji said to Lin Xiao with a smile.

Since it is a joint training program between Peking University and the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, Lin Xiao naturally has to register at Peking University first and then go to Paris.

“Well, then Professor Xu, we will see you next year.”

“Okay, goodbye and have a good New Year.”

Lin Xiao waved and left here.

Looking at his retreating figure, Xu Ji couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, what a magical young man.

“What’s wrong? Lao Xu, are you still reluctant to let me go?”

At this time, Principal Li came over and asked with a smile.

“That’s not true. I just feel a little emotional about this young man. I don’t know where he can go in the future.”

Xu Ji shook his head.

“We’ll just watch.”

“That’s true.”

…

Lin Xiao stayed in Shangjing for a few more days, and then returned home. As for Mimi, she was still placed in Professor Zheng’s home for foster care.

I was embarrassed to have Professor Zheng’s family help raise her before. However, he has been tutoring Zheng Ronger in mathematics for the past three months, so that Zheng Ronger has now become the first in her class in mathematics, and even developed her love for mathematics. Interest can be considered a reward.

Of course, the relationship itself is good, so there is not so much fussing over things, as long as there is a tacit understanding between them.

After saying goodbye to Professor Zheng’s house, Lin Xiao started on the way home.

After spending a year at home, until the end of February 2020, Lin Xiao was ready to leave.

“I went to France, so be careful.”

Yang Rong held the hand of her child who was about to go to a foreign country and expressed concern.

“Don’t worry, I won’t mess around there.” Lin Xiao said with a smile.

“When you go there, you have to listen to the teacher and remember the customs in France, you know?” Lin Guowen next to him also warned.

But before Lin Xiao could say anything, Yang Rong said: “You don’t have an accurate understanding of your son’s current strength. Maybe after Xiaoxiao goes there, the teachers there will have to listen to Xiaoxiao. “

As a math teacher, Yang Rong certainly knows how powerful it is to prove Goldbach’s conjecture. Mathematicians around the world have not proven it, but his son has proved it. His son must be better than most mathematics teachers. Awesome, right?

Hearing what his mother said, Lin Xiao couldn’t laugh or cry, and said, “Mom, it’s not that bad, I must listen to the teacher.”

“I know, doesn’t this mean you are great? You should respect your teachers and respect your teachings.”

“Well, you can rest assured.”

Lin Xiao nodded, then looked at the time again, and said quickly: “I have to go, otherwise the train will be late.”

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

“You brat, remember to come back next year! Don’t leave me there and never come back!” Lin Guowen shouted.

“I will definitely come back during the Chinese New Year!”

“It would be even better if I could bring a foreign girlfriend back!”

“…”

Lin Xiao didn’t reply and disappeared directly into the stairwell.

“This brat.” Lin Guowen shook his head and cursed with a smile.

Yang Rong patted him and said, “What’s so good about a foreign girlfriend?”

“What’s wrong with that? How will it save face if you tell me?”

“Do you regret not finding someone from abroad?”

“……How can it be?!”

…

After Lin Xiao returned to Shangjing, he went to Shangjing University to complete the report. A few days later, he embarked on the road to Paris.

Because she had to take Mimi with her, Lin Xiao finally arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport after two transfers.

Quickly finding the place where the pet was checked, Lin Xiao saw the airline bag containing Mimi, and quickly rushed up to check on Mimi’s condition.

Mimi meowed and looked energetic, so Lin Xiao felt relieved.

“Okay Mimi, we won’t fly anymore from now on.”

After putting the airline bag on his back and zipping up his suitcase, Lin Xiao left the airport and headed to the place where he would stay for the next few years, the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
