"Yes... Professor, but I still have two suitcases here -"
"What makes people sad is that he is only in his early thirties, which is the golden age of a scholar. If nothing else, he can still solve many great problems... Everything should be like this."
While eating, Xiaotong's mood finally relaxed a little.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yushan shook her head and said with a smile, "I have already prepared to be bullied by him for the rest of my life. There is no way I can live up to it. If you don't dislike it, just treat me as your daughter. ”
After staying in the small town of Jiangling for one night, because Starry Sky Technology still had a lot of things to deal with, Chen Yushan said goodbye to Lu Zhou's parents and Xiaotong, and took Han Mengqi on the way back to Jinling.
Earlier, "Nature" also tried to contact Professor Deligne, who had taught him during his doctoral studies. Unfortunately, Professor Deligne refused to be interviewed.
Watching from the sidelines, Han Mengqi's eyes showed a trace of envy.
Although there is still an atmosphere of sadness in this home, perhaps because there are guests here, the emotion is not obvious.
"I think it's pretty good," Han Mengqi hesitated for a moment, then said with eyes brightening, "Seeing that my name can help so many people, Master... must be happy in that world."
What is being shown in the theater is a movie about Academician Lu.
At this time, the arrival announcement sounded in the cabin.
Han Mengqi's cheeks turned slightly red and she spoke shyly.
"But he has always been hesitant, thinking that he is too young and would it be too immodest to name a world-class academic award after himself."
Han Mengqi looked at her sister in confusion, not quite understanding why she was saying these things at this time.
Her heart trembled slightly, but she quickly realized that the unrealistic idea that flashed through her mind was impossible.
Fortunately, although they did not interview Professor Deligne, they successfully contacted Professor Fefferman, who had collaborated with Lu Zhou on the NS equation.
When she heard this, Xiaotong's cheeks blushed slightly, and a long-lost smile bloomed on her face.
"Mom, I'm here to see you... This is my cousin, Han Mengqi, who is also Xiaotong's friend."
Just facing the loss of her eldest son and all the past alone, she was afraid that she would lose control of her emotions...
Hoshi Yuichiro grinned, showing his white teeth.
Soon the door was completely opened, and Xiaotong, with red and swollen eyes, walked out of the room.
The scene turned and the camera went to the ward.
"In the crew... while filming." Her cheeks were slightly red, and Han Mengqi couldn't hold back and told a half-truth.
"Be good, don't cry..." Hugging Xiaotong who rushed towards her, Chen Yushan gently held the back of her head and comforted her softly, "There is still me."
"sister… "
About half a month ago.
Shaking his head and sighing, the old man turned and returned to the house.
"I want... after returning to China, I will first spend some time with my parents, and then... help my brother continue walking along the road that he has not yet completed."
"What are you talking about, sister? You are only in your early thirties, and you look so young and beautiful, and you know how to dress up... You look like you are in your mid-twenties at most."
Although I have been here only a handful of times, the familiar feeling lingers, as if this is my hometown.
"Really? That sounds like a very nice person," Chen Yushan smiled and said, "Cherish him, there are not many boys like him left."
There was nothing worth leaving for him.
Not out of fear or guilt.
Thinking that he would no longer have the chance to talk to Lu Zhou about the future of quantum encryption algorithms, Mochizuki Shinichi stayed in the Jinling University library for half a month and finally chose to go home.
"God of Mathematics!"
At almost the same time, the signal light on the casing of the quantum computer mainframe buried deep underground at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study flickered slightly.
"It's me," Mochizuki Shinichi glanced at the camera behind the reporter, pushed up his glasses with his index finger, and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
"I... never told you," Han Mengqi whispered quickly while staring at the list of producers flashing on the screen, "Actually, I... may have someone I like."
"Are you the star of the show?"
"Hello, are you Professor Shinichi?"
Standing in front of the familiar door, Chen Yushan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked gently on the door.
Facing the lens of "Nature", Professor Fefferman's expression was also full of heaviness, but he still managed to maintain emotional restraint. From the perspective of a scholar, he answered some questions raised by reporters.
In an interview with Nature, Professor Hardy, the youngest head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, said this with a heavy expression.
Now that I think about it, he was really cute back then...
"No... I'm not interested in people who just have handsome faces, but he's quite popular," Han Mengqi smiled sheepishly and continued in a low voice, "Actually, I didn't greedily think about being with him. There is no result. But I am very, very grateful to him, he changed me... no, I should say saved me."
She still remembered that she was watching a ghost movie and even remembered the name of the movie.
From the first lecture he gave at Princeton, his life seemed to be firmly tied to “academic”—a word that carries human civilization’s imagination and hope for the future.
Shinichi was deeply suspicious of this.
"Yes, he is a very powerful scientist and he has helped many people. Even if he cannot wake up, he will still live in the hearts of many people."
Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the high-speed train on her way to transfer to the maglev train, staring out the window, suddenly spoke.
However, various things happened, all arrangements were disrupted, and the schedule was directly moved to the summer schedule.
Just as the two were walking towards the bus stop, a reporter with a microphone in his hand suddenly ran over from the side with a photographer and blocked their way.
The one inside should be Xiaotong.
"That's no excuse."
Looking at Chen Yushan, Xiaotong said sincerely.
Just as the high-speed train the two were riding slowly entered the Jiangcheng High-speed Railway Station, on the Yuegong Space Station hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, a cuboid-shaped Queqiao docked slowly.
Obviously I have decided not to be sad anymore...
Looking at her sensible sister, Chen Yushan smiled and reached out to gently stroke her hair.
"I want to use his name to establish a world-class award as my first wish to fulfill for him... What do you think?"
"Thanks… "
"Um… "
But from the stubbornness in the corner of her eye, Han Mengqi probably understood something.
"What's wrong?"
The mother patted her son's hand gently and said softly.
"Yeah! I'll go with you."
"Almost two months have passed since the proof of the ABC conjecture. Can't you ask some questions that keep pace with the times?"
Half a month ago, it unloaded supplies and reinforcements on Mars. At the same time, the return capsule launched from the ground recovered the members of the diplomatic mission sent to Mars some time ago, samples collected from the remains of Martian civilization, and a A wrist-mounted computer with a broken screen.
Mochizuki Shinichi, who was wrapped in a blanket, tilted his head expressionlessly and looked at the side window.
…
"You can always tell me when you met."
It is precisely for this reason that when bad news comes, it is the academic world that has the greatest impact.
However, because her eyes were entirely on the movie screen, Chen Yushan did not notice the change on her sister's face, and just smiled.
Although she also had times when she was deeply hit and depressed, her gentleness and confidence made even herself, a woman, feel a little dazzling.
And she didn't discover this until now.
Han Mengqi bowed politely and said hello to the old man.
Noticing her sister's mood swings, Han Mengqi squeezed her hand worriedly.
Lu Zhou couldn't be here.
For some reason, Chen Yushan's eyes were a little sore.
He vaguely remembered that around the time the incident on Mars had just happened, his student Yuichiro Hoshi took a special flight to China and begged him to return to Kyoto University to continue teaching.
Do you mean to go back to Japan
After a year-long shooting, and nearly half a year of editing and review, the film was originally planned to be released at the end of the year.
It was like taking a subway across Jinling. In just one hour, the two sisters arrived at the capital of Hubei Province.
It is rare for someone like Chen Yushan to come with her younger sister.
She suddenly understood something.
Most of the people sitting here watching the movie are students, especially junior high school students and high school students. Some are organized by schools to watch movies, and some are parents who bring their children.
Chen Yushan nodded towards Han Mengqi and led her into the room.
"What's up?"
"The importance of my work accounts for the total results... Is that what you want to ask?" Looking at the embarrassed smile on the reporter's face, Mochizuki paused for a while and looked at the terminal. The airstrip outside the building continued, "This question has no meaning at all. More than 60% of the parts and the most critical proof ideas were found by that person. And the remaining 40%, some of them were found by me. Completed, and some completed by Professors Schultz and Perelman, it is difficult to distinguish whose results are more important.”
Xiaotong, with red eyes, just buried her face in Chen Yushan's chest and said nothing.
"I'm fine." The mood gradually calmed down. Chen Yushan sniffed gently and tried to squeeze out a smile on her face. "It's just that I was a little emotional... Speaking of which, it seems that the place where I first dated him was right here. .”
"Well... after all, many citizens are concerned about you, and we couldn't contact you during the time you were in China."
"Just face it boldly if you like it, and don't leave any regrets for your youth." Chen Yushan smiled a little lonely, "Don't be like me. When you realize it, not only have you reached this age, but you will also have to face life and death. The suffering.”
Jinling.
Reporter: "Do you have a high opinion of Academician Lu?"
"Mom, will Academician Lu wake up?"
A drone flew up unsteadily, flew in the direction of the elevator, and began to fulfill the last order left by its owner before leaving...
Han Mengqi asked in surprise.
"Of course," holding Xiaotong's hand, Chen Yushan showed a gentle smile on her face, "you are my sister."
…
When he first saw Chen Yushan, the old man also had a look of surprise on his face.
"Thanks."
When buying tickets, the guy even said something "stupid" about buying two tickets for two different shows and meeting at the door after watching.
possible…
"This...can I keep it a secret?"
"Hello, hello, come in quickly..." Fang Mei smiled reluctantly and looked at Chen Yushan, "Don't call me mom anymore... You are a good girl, it was my unsatisfactory son who let you down. "
"What does a family say to say thank you?" Chen Yushan said with a smile, "Let's eat quickly, and we won't talk about these things during the meal."
"During his lifetime, Lu Zhou always told me that he wanted to do something for science, such as establishing some special awards to recognize outstanding research and young scholars with outstanding achievements."
"I have many teachers in my life, but he is the one I respect the most. I will remember his teachings throughout my life and carry forward what I learned from him."
Looking away from the TV, Mochizuki Shinichi said seriously.
“…”
Hearing this, the reporter's face showed a trace of embarrassment.
"scholar"
"Can you help me?"
The maglev from Jinling to Jiangcheng was opened at the beginning of the year.
Before she could speak, Chen Yushan, who was standing at the door, spoke first.
"That's for sure. What we actually want to know is—"
The master's steely straight man was not cold at all in the face of so many temptations, so why did he fall in love with her sister
Looking at the hair that was longer than her earlobes, Han Mengqi asked in a low voice.
Outside the window is the runway and terminal building of Kansai International Airport. There is no doubt that this is Japan.
After looking at his watch, Mochizuki said concisely, "Ask whatever you want to ask. I can only give you two minutes at most."
"That's right, I want to interview you about the ABC Conjecture—"
Chen Yushan curled her lips and turned her gaze to the endless plain outside the window.
"yes… "
To be honest, if space aliens really invaded the earth, would this level of resistance really be useful
The child nodded in understanding, as if a seed was buried in his heart.
When he met the eyes of the two people in the living room, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes hidden in the crack of the door.
About to arrive…
It also confirmed her suspicion. The closed door opened a crack, and the familiar face appeared in the crack.
"In the afternoon... I plan to go to Jiangling to visit Lu Zhou's parents. Xiaotong is also back. Do you want to go with me?"
"It would be great if I could share this joy with him."
Dragging two suitcases, Hoshi Yuichiro struggled through the crowd and caught up with the professor, breathing heavily.
Looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, a child of about five or six years old sitting not far from Chen Yushan pulled his mother's hand and asked in a low voice.
…
"What are your plans for the future?"
When the tragic BGM sounded, Pangudui was successfully ignited, and everyone cheered, but Academician Lu fell backward due to the fatigue of the past few days, many people in the theater clenched their fists in their eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"You don't mind what you said. I'm just afraid of delaying you... Hey, forget it, it's a sin..."
Facing the camera behind the reporter, Mochizuki Shinichi said with great momentum.
"Why did you cut your hair?"
"Professor, you are walking too fast!"
"How is that possible?" Looking at Meng Qi who was speaking for her, Chen Yushan smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, do I know which lucky boy is attracted by our Qiqi?"
"...His death is undoubtedly a loss to the entire academic community and a loss to the world. I once talked about this issue with a physics professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, including Z particles and hyperspace theory, because of his sudden death. Without it, much unfinished research will come to a standstill.”
Lu Zhou's departure affected many people.
While eating, Chen Yushan asked Xiaotong in a chatting tone.
After a pause, Chen Yushan thought for a while and then spoke.
Yida Plaza in University Town.
"Xinyi-san, Xinyi-san..."
"A mathematician."
Reporter: "...what title?"
"sister in law… "
And if the boundary is set in the Kuiper Belt, how many people will fly there
Putting the blanket wrapped around him into his student's hands, Mochizuki Shinichi took off the gold-rimmed glasses from his collar and put them on. He unbuckled his seat belt and stood up from his seat. At the prompts of the flight attendant, he followed The crowd was moving towards the exit.
I remember that when he left Japan, the TV was still showing clues about the discovery of "spacemen" on Mars. In just a few months, the content of the news had already developed into "The People's Federation holds its second meeting of member states." Congress”, “Establishing a defense system integrating land, sea, air and space to build a community with a shared future for mankind”, “When a country is attacked, the whole world joins the war”, “The boundary is set in the Kuiper Belt” and the like.
"It is not ruled out that among those young talents, there will be people more talented than him. However, Professor Witten is very pessimistic about this. The birth of a genius itself is a very coincidental accident. After all, this kind of thing is not Ubiquitous.”
"Xiaotong is back from the United States?"
The TV hanging in the terminal lounge shows the latest news.
The film is two and a half hours long and records the growth and life choices of a scholar in the years from Lu Zhou's student days to the ignition of the controlled fusion reactor.
"Hello, aunt."
As for the title of the movie, it is simple but quite charming, with only two short words -
A voice calling his name came to his ears. Mochizuki Shinichi, who was taking a nap while leaning on the airplane seat, opened his eyes in a daze and saw the student sitting next to him.
"It is very high, or in other words, he should not be evaluated by me," Mochizuki Shinichi continued after a pause, "If I must say it, there is only one title worthy of him."
"What role do you play in the LSPM research group?"
"Ichiro-san, even a mathematician cannot neglect physical exercise."
"Professor! We're coming!"
"sister… "
After a while, the door opened, and an old man with slightly frosty temples and a haggard face appeared in front of the door. Chen Yushan almost didn't recognize him for a moment.
At the time, she was completely unaware.
When she walked into the living room, Chen Yushan saw that the door to Lu Zhou's room was closed.
After taking high-speed trains and cars all the way, from high-rise buildings to small bridges and flowing water, the two finally arrived at that community.
"Well, she seems to have applied for a leave of absence from school. I saw her at the airport yesterday. She seemed to be crying very sadly, and her nose was swollen. I had a meal with him, but she didn't stay longer in Jinling. , returned to Hubei Province that day. You and Xiaotong should have a good relationship. If it is convenient, it would be nice if you could help me comfort her."
She probably wanted to take up the responsibility for the family that originally belonged to her brother.
