Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

After class, the Ark took about 10 minutes to understand and answer the students' questions, both simple and complex, before leaving the classroom to put away the textbooks.

Standing up from the back seat, Perelman, who had waited a long time, walked out of the classroom and walked forward to follow the side of the ark.

He walked all the way, with a contemplative expression on his face, suddenly said.

“A very ordinary lesson. ”

Ark laughed and responded casually: “This is an undergraduate course, if it's too difficult for them to understand. ”

Perelman: “Why do you lecture undergraduates? ”

Ark: “Sometimes looking back at what's obvious is obvious, helps us think about what's not so obvious, why isn't it obvious... in fact, it's also Fermi's point of view, and I agree with him. I don't know if there will be a few Fields winners among the students who took my classes in the future, which is more successful than my own award. ”

The look on Perelman's face hasn't changed much.

The pursuit of pure mathematical prizes has always been an attitude of abandonment, so there can be no resonance when the ark says that.

However, the first half of the sentence caught him in a deep thought, his mouth mumbled and he chewed it again.

“… something less obvious. ”

“Yes,” he nodded, with a chitchat, "such as the motive theory and the Langlands platform, these seemingly superficial things actually state the less obvious principles. What are the essence of numbers and shapes? Our civilization has been thinking about this since mathematics existed. And historically, great mathematicians have often been theologians or philosophers. ”

Perelman: "Are you a theologian? ”

Ark: “Unfortunately, I am a death-sensitive materialist… here I am, in my office. ”

Pull out the keys and open the door, and the ark lights up.

Usually there are people on duty here, but it's Saturday, and his three assistants are off around 4: 00. As for the students, since he never made a hard request, he had to punch in the office, and both holidays were basically in the library or doing his own thing.

“Help me get that white board out of the corner. ”

“Okay.”

Walking forward, Perelman dragged the whiteboard out of the corner of the wall, and the ark turned a marker pen out of its desk drawer.

Just as he walked up to the whiteboard and was about to start answering the question of this distant friend, footsteps came from outside the office and another acquaintance knocked on the door and walked in.

“Dean Lu, here I come again - are you Professor Perelman?” When he saw Perelman standing beside the ark with his arms in his arms, Dean Qin was astonished and his voice was silent.

He had just returned from the meeting and was going to talk to the Ark about how to handle the matter. I didn't expect to see this great god in the Ark's office.

Seeing this strange old man, Perelman hesitated slightly and nodded back, returning in reasonably standard English.

“Yes… is there a problem? ”

“No, no problem, we just didn't expect you to visit suddenly,” Mother Qin laughed and continued, “If only you would say hello to us in advance. ”

Perelman looked at him strangely: "… I'm just here to exchange questions with Professor Lu, do I need a special application? ”

“No, no, no, I didn't mean it that way. Greeting and applying are still a little different, but we're just here to get ready. I don't know...”

Looking at President Qin's embarrassing attempt to explain, Ark thought slightly for a while and immediately understood his thoughts. He shook his head with a smile and said.

“I'll take care of this. ”

If she relieved herself, President Qin smiled and said: “Then please... I'll talk to you later, you guys are busy first. ”

After saying goodbye, Dean Qin left the office and took the door with him.

Since the second half of the ark and the old man were communicating in Chinese, Perelman did not understand it and looked at the ark in fog and asked.

“What did you just say? ”

“Nothing, just a little insignificant about work," the ark laughed, his thumb lifted the cap and his gaze went to the whiteboard, “we went on. ”

……

Perelman was clearly well prepared to come to China this time.

From the little book he was carrying, it not only remembered some of the commonly used Chinese books marked with phonetic signs and corresponding words, but it was also a dense list of notes he had made while researching the paper.

To be honest, answering Perelman's question, even for an ark, is not an easy task, and a lot of things he himself is studying, and only 67% are able to give definitive answers.

“… your question is interesting, but unfortunately I can only answer that, and the rest may not be answered until the entire study is complete. ”

“It's okay," closed the notebook in his hand, Perelman shook his head and couldn't help but admire the expression on his face. “I was going to discuss these things with you, but I didn't expect you to know so much...”

Ark: “…”

I wipe.

You said so!

He thought this guy was going through his thesis to summarize these issues, but he didn't think he was only half right. These questions are indeed not false summarised when looking at one's thesis, but they are not at all problems that arise in one's thesis.

The expression on his face didn't change much, and the ark laughed and said modestly.

“Each other, listening to the questions you ask, you want to study the theory of general unity as well. It just so happens that my project group is short… I don't know if you're interested. ”

In saying this, the ark had little hope, after all, the man's integrity and temper could be said to be famous in mathematics.

As a result, it was unexpected that Perelman had reacted unexpectedly to the ark once again, seeing that he had not even considered it for a moment and had straightened himself out to the bottom.

“If my work is necessary, please let me in. ”

After saying this, Perelman saw the ark for half a day without opening it and frowned and continued.

“… is there a problem? ”

“… nothing, it was just an accident, I didn't expect you to respond so well. ”

Returning to God in astonishment, in the heart of the Ark, rejoicing, he said with joy, "Everyone's work is essential, with your help I am confident that this building under construction will be better built… In short, welcome, we are now friends in a trench. ”

As he said, the ark turned back to the desk and turned out a document from the open drawer. After a brief examination of the contents above to confirm that he was correct, he handed the document to Perelman.

“Here is a document about visiting exchanges, already stamped, just sign your name, and with this you can change your new long-term visa at the Immigration Department. ”

“Besides, I guess you don't have a place to stay, the new dormitory building at Jinling University just happens to have a nice apartment, about 90 square meters, right on campus, close to both the library and the experimental building of the several houses. I can help you apply for access to the identity of the scholar, and, similarly, just sign this paper--”

After listening to a series of arrangements thrown at him by the Ark, Perelman first stunned, then hurriedly stopped his head and said with a headache: "… wait, what does visiting scholars mean? ”

Ark: “Literally, in short, you hang out at Jinling University as a special professor, after all, you live in their dormitory. ”

Perelman frowned: “I don't want to work, let alone teach, and I'll be out of here when I've finished the big unified theory of algebra and geometry. If possible, just give me a sofa to sleep on, no need to get me an apartment. ”

The ark shook its head: "That's no good, especially if it's a couch, you have to have a place to put the couch. ”

Perelman shrugged and said, "I heard Schultz say you have a big family. ”

The ark coughed softly and said, "... don't even think about it. No one has ever spent the night in my house except my parents and sister. ”

Perelman: "…”

Watching Perelman not speak seems to be hesitating about something, and the Ark continues: "Don't worry about the class, even if you are a special professor, it doesn't mean you have to go to class. Of course, if you want to teach, I'm sure those students who love math will be very grateful for your generosity, and there will be an incredible salary based on class hours. ”

Perelman muttered, explaining: "I don't dislike teaching, I just don't want to waste time on these insignificant things. ”

Ark: “So I didn't force you either. ”

“Thanks.”

“You're welcome,” Ark laughed, reaching out his right hand, "it's an honor to be with you in this great endeavour. ”

The hand holding the ark swayed and Perelman's face revealed a rare smile.

Soon, however, he suddenly felt like he had something in mind, and his expression suddenly became a little embarrassing.

“I… have another request that may have to bother you. ”

Relaxed his hand and the ark nodded with a smile.

“Tell you what, I can fix it for you. ”

Perelman said softly.

“Ninety square meters apartment is too big, can I get a smaller one, about twenty square meters... I would feel uncomfortable living in a space vacant house. ”

After two seconds of inactivity, the Ark looked at him with a strange look and said, "… I always thought you chose to live in that place because of poverty. ”

Perelman stubbornly corrected.

“Poverty is only one cause. ”
