The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback.

Kirton Walker said with a smile: "Professor Pang, I am a Polish-American. I became an American citizen fifteen years ago. My wife divorced me five years ago, and my two children have their own careers. , one in the UK and one in Germany. I can eat enough for myself now, and the whole family is not hungry. Lithium-air batteries are the goal I have been pursuing all my life. As long as you can provide me with a relaxed environment and enough scientific research Funding, for me, there is no difference between China and the United States. If possible, I would like to become a Chinese citizen.”

Pang Xuelin looked at Kirton Walker with a strange expression, and said, "Okay then, Professor Walker, when you see it is suitable, go through the resignation procedures at Princeton, and then go to Jiangda to find me."

Kirton Walker said: "I will go to resign in the afternoon."

"..."

Pang Xuelin was a little speechless, why did he have the feeling that Cotton Walker couldn't wait to escape from Princeton.

But Pang Xuelin doesn't care. Kirton Walker can think of using large-scale single-layer graphene film to make lithium-air batteries, which already shows his level.

What he lacks now is a stable research environment and continuous financial support, both of which he can satisfy him.

After confirming the intention of cooperation with Walker, Pang Xuelin declined Walker's offer to invite him to dinner, and returned directly to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Qi Xin had already woken up, just came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wrapped in a nightgown, and wiped her wet hair with a bath towel.

It's just that the walking posture is a bit strange, Pang Xuelin couldn't help laughing twice, and the girl rushed over with all her teeth and claws.

Pang Xuelin hugged the girl instantly.

The two fought all the way to the bed, and before they knew it, another day passed.

Pang Xuelin stayed with Qi Xin for a week in Princeton.

Originally, he wanted to take Qi Xin for a walk, but Qi Xin didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to be with Pang Xuelin all day long.

Girls in love, always.

So the two didn't go anywhere at all, and wandered around the small town of Princeton every day, occasionally attending the party initiated by Deligne and the others.

It was not until November 10th that Pang Xuelin bid farewell to Qi Xin and returned to Jiangcheng from the United States.

At this time, the feedback from the mathematics community on the Polignac conjecture reached a climax, and more and more mathematicians stood up and expressed their approval of Pang Xuelin's proof.

Zhang Yitang: "Professor Pang Xuelin's proof of the Polignac conjecture is a masterpiece of genius. In fact, there is another detail that you may not understand. Everyone knows that in the past six months, Professor Pang has focused on carbon In the field of nanomaterials, there has been no movement in mathematics research. So a month ago, after the Cole Algebra Awards dinner, I found Professor Pang and chatted with him about the idea of ​​proving the twin prime number conjecture through Ponzi geometry theory. , and proposed to conduct a scientific research competition with him to see who can prove the twin prime number conjecture within two years. But what I didn't expect was that Professor Pang did it within one month, and what he proved was not a twin prime number guess,

Instead, it proves the generalized conjecture of the twin prime conjecture - the Polignac conjecture. "

"On the day I got the news, I still couldn't believe it. I didn't know for sure until I watched Professor Pang's proof process. As a worker in the field of mathematics, I have met many geniuses in my life, but I have never met a single person. , can give me such a strong shock like Professor Pang."

Another Fields Medal winner, Russian-American mathematician Andrei Okunkov, who has made outstanding contributions in the fields of algebraic geometry, probability theory, and representation theory, said: "Pang Xuelin's proof work is another After verifying the greatness of Ponzi geometry, I have a vague feeling that several monuments in the field of number theory, Goldbach's conjecture, Riemann conjecture, etc., will probably need to be proved by applying the relevant theories of Ponzi geometry in the future. As The creator of this discipline, we have enough reasons to look forward to Professor Pang Xuelin..."

In an interview with The Times, Andrew Wiles said: "I am not surprised that Pang Xuelin can make such an achievement. There is no doubt that he is already one of the pinnacle figures in the contemporary mathematics world." Personally, and I think, at his current age, he is expected to challenge the throne of the greatest mathematician in history!"

...

The mathematics community gave Pang Xuelin such a high evaluation, and the major media naturally also contributed to the flames.

Many media even sent interview invitations to Pang Xuelin, but they were all declined by Pang Xuelin.

But what Pang Xuelin didn't expect was that he received a call from Liu Tingbo the day after he returned to Jiangcheng.

"What, CCTV wants to do an exclusive interview with me?"

Half an hour later, Pang Xuelin appeared in Liu Tingbo's office.

"Old Liu, what's going on? Why did CCTV suddenly think of doing an exclusive interview with me?"

Pang Xuelin walked into Liu Tingbo's office, skillfully found some tea from the bookshelf behind his desk, and made a cup of tea in a disposable cup.

Liu Tingbo smiled bitterly: "Professor Pang, did you forget another important thing?"

"Important matter?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback.

Liu Tingbo said: "In one and a half months, it will be the award ceremony of the National Highest Science and Technology Award. You have basically been confirmed as the winner of this year's National Highest Science and Technology Award. The proof of Polignac’s conjecture, now is the time when the heat is high, and CCTV is now launching such an interview arrangement, which can be regarded as a warm-up for your award in advance. Principal Xu will bring someone over later, and you will send it with CCTV at that time Let’s chat with our reporters and discuss the next interview arrangements.”

"Oh well!"

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Xincheng, the principal of Jiang University, walked in with a mature woman who looked familiar, with glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a bit of literary appearance.

Xu Xincheng smiled and said, "Professor Pang, let me introduce you. This is Dong Qing, the host of CCTV's face-to-face program."

"Professor Pang, hello!"

Dong Qing smiled and stretched out his hand towards Pang Xuelin.

"Ms. Dong, hello!"

Pang Xuelin and Dong Qing shook hands and said.

Xu Xincheng smiled and said: "Okay, Ms. Dong, you can talk to Professor Pang about the interview arrangement. If there is any need, our school will fully cooperate."

Dong Qian laughed and said: "That's just right. In fact, this time, in addition to a face-to-face interview with Professor Pang, we are also planning to do a special program to see how Professor Pang works every day. I don't know how Professor Pang works. Is it convenient?"

Xu Xincheng turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin, who nodded and said, "I have nothing to do today, and I will stay at home all day today. I will go to the School of Materials Engineering tomorrow to see the progress of those projects. Ms. Dong, please Not like that? From tomorrow, you can follow me and shoot for a day, but when shooting, I hope not to interfere with my normal work as much as possible."

Dong Qing laughed and said: "Professor Pang, don't worry about this, we will definitely not interfere with you in any way. As for following up, can we start today? We want to take a look at your daily life."

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xu Xincheng smiled and said: "That's just right. Professor Pang, then you can cooperate with the CCTV team. I still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Fine!"

After Xu Xincheng left, Pang Xuelin greeted Liu Tingbo and took Dong Qing downstairs.

Downstairs, CCTV's news shooting team is already on standby.

Dong Qing smiled and said, "Professor Pang, let's start now."

"Can!"

Pang Xuelin nodded.

The two walked side by side on the asphalt road of the school, and two photographers carried cameras to follow them in real time.

Many passing students looked at him curiously, but as soon as they saw Pang Xuelin's face, they knew that the boss was being interviewed, so they didn't dare to get too close.

"Professor Pang, I heard from Principal Xu that when you returned to China, the school specially arranged a house with three bedrooms and one living room for you in a nearby community, but you directly rejected it. Now you live in the one arranged by the school. In a bachelor apartment?"

Pang Xuelin nodded and said with a smile: "There is such a thing. I am a lazy person in life. If I am alone, I am too lazy to cook. It happens that the single apartment arranged by the school is very close to the cafeteria, so I Just live in a single apartment."

Dong Qing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Then do you have a girlfriend? I read the comments on the Internet, and the netizens seem to be very concerned about your love life."

After finishing speaking, Dong Qing blinked and said: "If it is inconvenient to say, we can delete this paragraph."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "It's nothing inconvenient. I do have a girlfriend, but she's still studying, so I won't disclose the details."

Pang Xuelin didn't specifically say where his girlfriend was studying, and he had to figure out the meaning behind it.

Dong Qing said with a smile: "Then do you think you are different from ordinary people when you are in love with your girlfriend? How do you balance the relationship between love and work? After all, you are now a world-renowned mathematician , not long ago completed the proof work of a heavyweight conjecture."

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment and said: "As far as I personally feel, I don't think there is any difference. As for how to balance relationship and work, I don't feel that falling in love has any impact on my work. Instead, I talk to my girlfriend after work. The phone, for me, is a nice way to relax."

The two walked and chatted.

Pang Xuelin chatted like an ordinary friend, and Dong Qing was also very relaxed.

Face-to-face is a column of high-end feature-length character interviews, and the people who can be on this program are all heavyweights.

Among them are the focus figures in news events, authoritative figures in news topics, influential figures in the changing times, public figures who have attracted much attention, and even leaders of other countries.

Pang Xuelin is definitely the most special one since the face-to-face program started.

Pang Xuelin gave Dong Qing a very strange feeling.

On the one hand, the other party is a top scholar in the world. To some extent, it is not certain whether human beings will remember them after hundreds or thousands of years of the wealthy businessmen and politicians who are all-powerful in the world.

However, the name Pang Xuelin will inevitably be written in the history books. As long as the history of human civilization continues, he will be a character that cannot be avoided.

On the other hand, such a character enough to be written into the history books appeared in front of him alive, and he looked like a big boy.

This confusion of status and status made Dong Qing very interesting.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, the two came downstairs to the apartment.

Going upstairs, Pang Xuelin invited everyone into the house and took them around for a tour.

Living room, kitchen, bedroom, balcony, toilet, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Fortunately, Pang Xuelin's living habits are relatively good, and he cleans up more diligently on weekdays, and there are no jokes about throwing stinky socks around.

Pang Xuelin made Dong Qing a cup of coffee and was about to sit down and chat with her.

Dong Qing said: "Professor Pang, you are busy with your work, follow your usual pace of life, and we will just follow along."

Pang Xuelin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Alright, I just happen to have a few articles to read, so I'll do my own business first."

With that said, Pang Xuelin went directly to the desk, turned on the laptop, and activated the power button.

The two photographers from CCTV hurriedly found a suitable location, wanting to take a shot of Pang Xuelin's busy work.

But soon, everyone at the scene was not focused on Pang Xuelin's work.

After the computer was turned on, a soft electronic voice came out from the stereo: "Professor Pang, good morning, I am your work secretary oss, and you currently have ten documents to be processed. Six of them are from Pang of the School of Mathematical Sciences. There are four remaining papers from the recent discussion reports of the Geometry Seminar, one is the latest paper from the graphene material research group, one is from the mass production report of high-purity carbon nanotubes from the research group of Professor Li Changqing, and one is from the research group of Fei The cutting edge materials team, the last one is from Professor Xu Xingguo, the main content is the confirmation of the relevant list of carbon-based chip development team personnel."

Pang Xuelin said with a faint smile: "oss, sort by priority, I will deal with it later."

"Oss understands!"

At this time, whether it was Dong Qing or the other CCTV staff members, they were all stunned, looking at the slightly sci-fi scene in front of them.

Dong Qing said curiously: "Professor Pang, this is..."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "oss, say hello to this sister!"    Soon, a bionic camera set up by Pang Xuelin on the side of the desk turned to look at Dong Qing, and the voice of oss came from the speaker: "Sister Dong Qing Hello!"  Dong Qing swallowed his saliva, and said dumbfounded: "Professor Pang, is this artificial intelligence?"  Pang Xuelin nodded and smiled: "This is the artificial intelligence oss I developed to assist work. The name comes from last year's Spring Festival The sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" was released, so I took it and borrowed it."
