I Know Everything

Chapter 187: Deville's visit

Views:

The two-week Mathematical Olympiad winter camp finally came to an end amidst the pain of a group of geniuses.

With his absolute genius, Shen Huan dominated the entire IMO training team. He won the undisputed first place in the exam for 14 consecutive days and qualified to participate in the IMO competition in Los Angeles, the United States in July next year.

Among the five people selected together with him, only Lei Xiaode was an acquaintance, and the rest were unknown to each other.

Oh, that's not right. Shen Huan also knows Li Naihao from Hualing High School. He was ranked second in the finals and can be said to be very strong.

It's just that no matter how proud Li Naihao was before, he couldn't surpass Shen Huan even one day in the 14 consecutive days of exams. Such a gap is enough to make anyone despair.

This includes Li Naihao.

He no longer yelled to cause trouble for Shen Huan, even more so than Shen Huan, but he was also more taciturn. Only when he occasionally looked at Shen Huan, he would feel something called hatred.

To be honest, Shen Huan didn't know how she offended this person at first.

But later he discovered that being better than others was a mistake.

Since this is all wrong, Shen Huan can only make one mistake to the end.

Shen Huan would not look down on Li Naihao, who was no match for him in any aspect.

That is to say, he has the ability to serve as a teammate in this Mathematical Olympiad competition, otherwise Shen Huan would have sent him back by some means.

I'm not the kind of good old man who insists on keeping my enemy by my side so that he can stab me at the critical moment. That's what only idiots do.

The IMO competition is in July. Naturally, the six participating students cannot wait to compete in Huajing, so they go home to spend the Spring Festival and go to school.

Shen Huan had to wait to rehearse and attend the party, so he would definitely not return to Lin'an. Moreover, Shui Xiaomei's family of three was here, and the four of them happened to be spending the Spring Festival in Huajing, which was also a novel experience.

Originally, He Qiang was going back to Lin'an after a day off, but suddenly Yu Dingbian called and said that he was coming to Huajing to participate in an academic exchange meeting, which would be a good opportunity for He Qiang and Shen Huan to meet the world, so He Qiang I could only refund the plane ticket and wait for the teacher to come over.

Coincidentally, when Shen Huan went to the Internet cafe to check his mailbox at night, he discovered that Professor Dewell had sent him an email three days ago, saying that he would come to Huajing, China to participate in an academic exchange meeting, and hoped to meet Shen Huan then. Nice to meet you.

It's a bit like a meeting between literary friends.

But for Professor DeVille, it was certainly more than that.

Because the "Shen Huan proposition" proposed by Shen Huan has reached the final stage through their continuous communication and verification through emails.

If there are no big surprises, this proposition will be proven in the first half of this year.

Once the "Shen Huan Proposition" is proved, then the next step of the "Shen Huan Conjecture" will have a huge theoretical foundation.

By then, solving "Fermat's Last Theorem" will no longer be a castle in the air. Once the "Shen Huan Conjecture" is demonstrated, then most of "Fermat's Last Theorem" will have been solved theoretically.

All that's left is to put it all together to demonstrate this step.

Thinking that the huge mathematical problems of hundreds of years and the mysterious crown jewel of mathematics were about to be solved in the hands of mathematicians of his own generation, Professor Deville could no longer hold back and wanted to come to China to meet with Shen Huan.

In addition to being famous for a long time, he also had some questions and ideas that he wanted to communicate face-to-face with Shen Huan.

This is of great significance to the two of them, and even to the entire "Newton Institute of Mathematical Sciences" mathematicians involved.

Shen Huan basically discussed with Professor Deville and the others once a week, exchanged opinions, and submitted his step-by-step argument progress.

These days are not the regular time for receiving letters. Shen Huan was busy with late rehearsals and studying for the Mathematical Olympiad winter camp, so he did not see this letter immediately.

Now I see that Professor Deville should have arrived in China and is staying in a hotel.

Shen Huan, with the mentality of not delaying anything further, quickly replied to a letter to Professor Deville, hoping that if he had time, he would pay a visit tonight.

Almost five minutes later, Professor Deville replied and told him the name of the hotel where he was staying, and told Shen Huan that he would wait for Shen Huan in the coffee shop on the second floor.

This interesting old man also sent Shen Huan a photo of himself in the room to prevent him from getting the wrong person.

In fact, Deville himself knew that Shen Huan must have seen his profile photo and it was impossible to mistake him.

Half an hour later, Shen Huan arrived at the Hilton Hotel alone.

Hilton Hotels abroad is actually a chain hotel, which can be called a five-star hotel, but it is far inferior to a truly high-end hotel.

However, Hilton hotels in China still have a very high standard. Many foreigners who come to China for business or tourism will choose this hotel brand that they are familiar with.

In addition to Hilton, Ritz-Carlton, Marriott, etc. are all their choices.

After asking about the location of the coffee shop, Shen Huan walked in calmly.

"Hello sir, may I ask who are you..." The waiter in a straight suit at the door asked politely.

Although Shen Huan was wearing ordinary winter clothes, the etiquette of a high-end hotel was such that it was impossible to be rude to guests.

Those so-called behaviors of looking down on others and being slapped in the face are usually impossible to appear here, unless you violate other people's rules.

"I have friends inside." Shen Huan looked at the door and saw that there were quite a lot of people inside. There were about twenty or thirty tables seated, including Chinese and foreigners.

"Is your friend a guest of our hotel?"

"Yes, he... Oh, I saw him." Shen Huan pointed in a direction and walked quickly towards that direction.

Dewell was sitting near the window, and there was an old man with white hair beside him, whom Shen Huan didn't recognize.

The two were drinking coffee and chatting. When they saw Shen Huan approaching, Deville was slightly startled, looked at Shen Huan, and then said uncertainly: "Mr. Shen?"

"Yes, I am Shen Huan." Shen Huan stretched out his hand, "Welcome to China, Professor Deville!"

"oh!"

Deville stood up quickly, held Shen Huan's hand tightly, and said with great excitement: "Oh my god, Mr. Shen, I finally see you! Hello! Hello!"

He used honorifics unconsciously.

This is a normal thing in Deville's subconscious.

Shen Huan's understanding of "Fermat's Last Theorem" far surpassed his.

If at first he thought Shen Huan was a blind cat that hit a dead mouse, after so many months of constant communication and discussion, Deville was completely convinced that the person he was talking to was an unparalleled genius.

He is a genius comparable to Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein.

But he has always been a little disbelieving about Shen Huan's age.

Not only Deville, but a group of his friends and professors also felt that it was simply impossible for a 16-year-old boy to have such a high mathematical talent and conduct such in-depth research.

But now that he saw Shen Huan standing in front of him, Deville had no choice but to believe it.

The white-haired professor next to him also stood up and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Professor Corridor of the Department of Mathematics at Cambridge University. I have exchanged some opinions with you."

"Hello, Professor Corridor, I remember what we talked about." Shen Huan shook hands with him and said, "It was about the discussion of the content of the model. Your opinions gave me a lot of inspiration!"

"Haha, you are too polite!" Professor Cowrid smiled, "Mr. Shen's ideas are the greatest, we are just checking for omissions and filling in the gaps! Basically, you are the only one who verified the 'Shen Huan Proposition' People are exploring.”

"Come, let's sit down and talk!" Deville waved his hand, "Mr. Shen, I have a lot of things I want you to talk about!"

After hearing Shen Huan casually talk about the discussion with Corridor, Deville had no doubts about Shen Huan's identity.

Besides, later they will discuss the more complicated "Fermat's Last Theorem", which is simply a touchstone of identity. Except for the real Shen Huan, no other Chinese can discuss it with them without revealing their secrets.

In fact, this is also true.

The three of them sat down and began to discuss some arguments that had been explored recently.

Not only did they talk, they also took out a stack of paper, talked and wrote, and then argued.

The coffee shop is very large, but even if the sound is loud, people around you can still hear it.

There were foreigners and Chinese sitting next to them.

What many people didn't notice was that the foreigners in suits at the nearby tables lowered their voices without realizing it, but the Chinese at the table felt it was too noisy.

They couldn't understand what Shen Huan and the other three were discussing because the English was too profound for them.

But in the Hilton Hotel's cafe, such behavior is really a bit disturbing.

Therefore, a middle-aged man directly waved to the cafe waiter and said, "Go and tell them to keep their voices down. This place is almost turning into a vegetable market! Foreigners should also pay attention to their quality!"

The waiter looked at Shen Huan and the others, nodded, and immediately walked towards them.

As a result, before he reached Shen Huan's table, a foreign man stood up and stood in front of him.

"Sir?" the waiter said in surprise.

"Please don't go there." The foreign man said seriously, "You can't interrupt a world-class mathematics discussion meeting. This is a crime against science and a crime against human wisdom!"

Being able to work in Hilton's cafe, this waiter was very proficient in English, but when he heard a foreign man say this, he began to doubt his English level.

He couldn't understand what the three people at the table were arguing about. He could only understand some occasional words, so he also knew that these people must be discussing professional things.

but…

A world-class mathematics discussion conference

Look at those three people, forget about the two old foreigners. The young Chinese is less than 20, right

Can the things discussed by such people be as terrifying as world-class

A world-class discussion is too worthless, right

"I'm sorry, they disturbed other guests." The waiter pointed to the Chinese table at the back, "According to our restaurant's rules, this is inappropriate."

The two people's conversation attracted the attention of other guests at several tables.

A foreigner with glasses at another table also stood up and walked towards the table of Chinese people.

I don’t know what he said, but the group of Chinese people finally waved their hands at the waiter, indicating that they should ignore the noise.

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside again.

Seeing that so many foreigners were preventing him from disturbing these three people, even if he didn't understand, he knew that what they were discussing was not simple.

math

Thinking about what the first foreign man said just now, the waiter couldn't help but glance at the table.

He was looking at Shen Huan.

Can this ridiculously handsome young man really participate in such a discussion

It’s incredible!
