Ultimate Scholar

In a restaurant outside Oxford University.

"You...are neighbors?"

Yun Rongshang asked in surprise.

After meeting Li Mu just now, she learned that Li Mu and this British girl were going to have dinner together, so she followed along.

Along the way, she also learned about the connection between this British girl and Li Mu.

"yes."

Isa said with a smile.

Yun Rongshang was silent for a moment.

She glanced at Isa, and she had to admit that this British girl was very beautiful.

Blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and a model-like figure that can't be concealed despite wearing conservative clothes.

Probably no matter where she goes, she can attract the attention of all kinds of boys.

In addition, this family seems to be very rich.

As a girl, Yun Rongshang also has a lot of knowledge about various fashion brands. Just talking about Isa's clothes and pants, they are all from Gucci, and the bag she is carrying is also from Hermes.

And it seems to be a limited edition... At least Yun Rongshang has never seen this bag retail on Hermes' official website.

This is a girl full of competitiveness...

Of course, when Yun Rongshang observed Yisha, Yisha was also looking at Yun Rongshang. \b

A Chinese girl who is very familiar with Li Mu?

Moreover, the relationship between the two of them seems to be quite good.

She is also very beautiful, at least she is the most beautiful Chinese girl Isa has ever seen in reality.

It's just that I don't know which side Li Mu's aesthetics are more inclined to.

Isha is well aware that different people have different aesthetics.

Although she believes in her appearance, sometimes, such subjective things cannot be described absolutely.

Well - here she has to admit that she has a great affection for Li Mu.

In other words, there is no girl who studies mathematics who does not have a crush on Li Mu.

Of course, this kind of goodwill is more of a kind of worship in the heart.

So ever since she learned that Li Mu was her neighbor, she has been looking for opportunities to get in touch with Li Mu.

But now...

Seems like there's a competitor?

But when the two girls are looking at each other, what is Li Mu doing?

In his mind, he was still thinking about the idea he got from Richter just now.

"The combination of the circle method and the sieve method..."

"Why does it always give me a feeling of being blocked..."

He squinted in thought.

Relying on his ability to multitask, even though he was walking on the road just now, he has been thinking about this problem, but he always has an intuition that this problem seems to be impossible to solve in the pure field of number theory.

He thought about it for a long time, until finally, he simply took out his draft book from the bag next to him, put it directly on the dining table, and began to calculate on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the two girls didn't know what to say.

This is really...

Quite a genius.

No wonder he can become the most famous genius mathematician in the world today, look at his attitude towards academics.

Yun Rongshang and Yisha glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Of course, compared to Yisha's helplessness, Yun Rongshang has one more habit.

"It's still like this." Yun Rongshang sighed with emotion.

"What's it like?" Isa asked suspiciously.

"Just like it is now, as if possessed by a demon."

Yun Rongshang said: "Sometimes I even wonder if he is always thinking about math problems no matter where he is."

"As soon as he has any inspiration or idea, he will immediately take out the draft paper, and then write down the inspiration or idea."

Isa was silent for a moment, then said: "It seems to be understandable to him."

"Is it understandable?"

Yun Rongshang shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.

Yisha glanced at Li Mu, then whispered: "However, he should be able to hear us talking like this?"

Yun Rongshang smiled, and then called out "Li Mu".

As a result, Li Mu didn't even raise his head.

Isa: "..."

It was the first time she had discovered that Li Mu had such an ability to concentrate on nothing else.

How focused must this be?

Of course, she also took another look at Yun Rongshang, this Hua country girl is not the slightest familiar with Li Mu.

At this moment, the waiter came over with their order.

"Sir, please be careful."

Before putting the plate on, the waiter said to Li Mu.

Li Mu also raised his head.

"Oh! Sorry."

He quickly put the draft away from the table.

"Please enjoy it slowly."

The waiter is not surprised by this. After all, Oxford University is next to it, so there are often professors or students from Oxford University who study academic issues directly in their restaurant.

It's just that when he put down the plate in his hand and glanced at Li Mu, he was stunned for a moment: "Wait, are you that Li Mu?"

Li Mu was taken aback, "Uh, it's me."

The waiter recognized Li Mu, and immediately became pleasantly surprised: "I buy it, can I take a photo with you?"

"sure."

The waiter immediately took out his mobile phone and took a photo with Li Mu, looked at the photo, and said excitedly, "It's really great!"

"I wish you and the two ladies a pleasant meal."

Then he left here happily, just like seeing an idol.

Of course, Li Mu was used to this kind of thing for a long time. He turned his head and glanced at the two girls, and said hello, "Let's eat first, I'll take this meal."

Then he was not polite, and immediately started eating.

He was already hungry anyway.

The two girls nodded silently, and then followed suit.

At the end of a meal, it was quite enjoyable to eat, mainly because this restaurant is not a traditional British restaurant.

And Yisha and Yun Rongshang kept chatting, and became friends after chatting. After eating, they told Li Mu that they wanted to go shopping together.

Regarding girls shopping, of course Li Mu directly stated that he would not go.

First, to avoid breaking his leg, and second, he might as well go back and read a few more papers if he has this spare time.

After thinking about it just now, he already has some ideas and needs to find a quiet place to verify them.

"Then goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

After waving goodbye to the two girls, watching their backs walking away, Li Mu turned his head and walked back to the school.

However, during the meal just now, did he really not hear what the two of them were discussing?

In fact, with the ability to multitask, he can hear what is contained in the surrounding sounds at any time, and the computer in his mind will save all the information for him.

To some extent, this can also be regarded as a kind of hypermemory, but the existence of the brain computer can help him store this information in another form, avoiding the burden of hypermemory patients.

So he knew exactly what the two girls were talking about just now.

He is not really emotionally insensitive, he can clearly feel anyone's emotions towards him.

Including Yun Rongshang's feelings for him.

It's just that although I know it, some things are only suitable for collection.

Why collection?

It's the ones that you think are good things, but you can't use them for the time being, so they are hidden.

When you suddenly remember, maybe you can use it.

It's just that Li Mu will think of this collection sometimes...

He doesn't know, but at least not at this time.

...

Time passed quietly again.

The moon at night changed from a hook to a jade plate, and from a jade plate to a hook.

One month passed, and the world came to May.

"You mean...the sieve method and the circle method cannot be combined if you try it from the field of number theory alone?"

In Richter's office, he said to Li Mu in surprise.

"Roughly speaking, it can be explained in this way."

Li Mu nodded.

"To some extent, number theory, as a field that only studies integers, has more problems, especially -- it is not perfect."

Speaking of this, Li Mu smiled again: "Of course, there is no perfect subject in the world."

Richter frowned.

The news Li Mu said made him a little hard to accept for a while, because he has been trying to unify the sieve method and the circle method in the field of number theory.

But now, Li Mu directly denied this direction.

"Then what do you mean?" Richter couldn't help asking.

Li Mu didn't say much, but just started writing on the blackboard.

After a few glances, Richter asked, "Is this... the K-mode theory?"

"Yes." Li Mu nodded.

K-module theory, that is, a new theory developed by him in solving another version of the twin prime number conjecture, the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture.

After the birth of this theory, it has been sought after by the mathematics community. After about eight months, many achievements in the academic circle have been born based on the K-module theory, whether it is the four top journals or others. Secondary journals have published many papers in this area during this period.

K-module theory has become a star tool in mathematics.

Richter was very surprised: "You plan to use K-module theory to solve Goldbach's conjecture?"

"Yes and no."

Amid Richter's doubts, Li Mu explained: "The K-module theory is not suitable for solving prime number problems, especially its adaptability to Goldbach's conjecture is not as good as the circle method and sieve method."

"However, for the circle method and the sieve method, I think they can use the help of K-module theory, and then realize the combination, and then help us solve the Goldbach conjecture."

Richter was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have to admit that your idea is very novel, maybe you are right?"

"But I have to say that, unfortunately, I don't do much research in algebraic geometry, so I'm not particularly familiar with K-module theory."

"I still choose to continue from the field of number theory."

Li Mu nodded, but he didn't intend to persuade Richter.

Different mathematicians have different ideas about mathematics. If you insist on persuading others to follow your own ideas, it will easily arouse their resentment.

"Then... let's start independent research?"

Li Mu said.

Now that the direction of thinking is different, there is no need to maintain the cooperation method of communicating once a week like this.

Richter smiled, and then stretched out his hand to Li Mu: "I think this is the only way to go. I didn't expect our cooperation to come to an end after only one month."

"However, this is not surprising. You are a truly versatile genius, whether in mathematics or in all sciences."

In mathematics, Li Mu not only shines in number theory, but also has deep research on algebraic geometry, and his Li's expansion shows his amazing talent in differential calculus.

Among all the sciences, Li Mu has made many amazing achievements in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Therefore, Richter didn't think it was an accident to end the cooperation.

Perhaps, the cooperation with Li Mu at the beginning was wrong in itself.

"Then, I wish you success."

Richter said at the end.

Li Mu also nodded slightly: "I also wish you success."

Richter laughed.

From now on, their identities can be regarded as changing from collaborators to competitors.

However, Richter will not be distressed because he has such a strong competitor.

There is no other reason, simply because he, as a child of a hereditary nobleman, is not short of money or status, and studying mathematics is just because of his hobby.

Although such a simple hobby, he became a professor at Merton College, Oxford University.

However, Richter had a little misconception. Li Mu did not only have important achievements in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

At least, he basically has something to do with science, such as biology.

...

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Li Mu?"

When Li Mu returned to his dormitory and received this call from the United States, he was a little puzzled.

"It's me, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, Mr. Li!" The other party's voice immediately became happy: "This is the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, New York State, USA, and I am Adrian Kleiner... Well, of course, if you introduce it like this, you may not It is very clear, in order to avoid your misunderstanding, so I have to declare in advance, I am not trying to show off, I am the winner of the Wolf Prize for Medicine this year."

"Now I sincerely invite you to join our laboratory and work with me to overcome the biggest problem in biology, cancer."

"We really need your mathematical analysis ability, please be sure to agree!"
