Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1097: Two Giants Shake Hands

Jinling University doorway.

Dragging a black suitcase to the side of the road, Professor Fartings looked at the stone tablet engraved not far away and suddenly said.

“Ten years ago I never thought of coming to this country, I never thought of kung fu for just a few years, I've been here so many times. ”

“I've been here about twice,” similarly dragged a suitcase, and Schultz laughed and said, “Every time it made me feel different. ”

“For the first time," I stood next to two people, an elderly man who looked about fifties or sixties years old, looking up at the often crowded doors of the campus, said with emotion, "I've only seen it in movies before. ”

Faltines: "Oh? How do you feel now? ”

The old man laughed and said, "It turns out the movies are all lies. ”

The old man standing next to the two is not someone else, it's Professor Holden.

As Secretary-General of the International Union of Mathematicians, he came to Jinling mainly to consult with the Association of Mathematicians of China and the local government of Jinling City and to discuss the organization of the next International Congress of Mathematicians.

Of course, the reason for visiting the Ark with Professor Faltines is also to visit the Ark.

Schultz smiled and said, "If you go to their library, you'll be more surprised. I've been to a lot of universities, but I rarely see a university library that sits as full as they do, and even needs to book in advance to find a seat. ”

“Really?” Professor Holden's face showed an interesting expression, "then I have to visit... how do we find Professor Lu? Do you know where his office is? ”

Faltines and Schultz glanced at each other and exchanged sights, with a strange look on their faces.

“You know what? ”

“No… I thought you knew. ”

“That was unfortunate, coming to Jinling a few times. I think I went all the way to the campus downtown. ”

Professor Holden's expression on his face was awkward and he coughed dry.

“… I'll ask. ”

Saying, he dragged his suitcase and took the lead to the doorman's office at the entrance, asking with the help of translation software on his phone.

“Hello, how can I find the Ark's office? ”

He glanced at the three foreigners who stood outside the guard's room, and apparently the doorman with experience in this area grabbed three English-language forms directly from the drawer and handed them over to the windowsill with a pen.

“Looking for Master Lu? Fill in the form first. ”

Looking at the doorman on the phone, Professor Holden turned around and exchanged sights with Faltines and Schultz, making a helpless expression.

“… in short, let's register. ”

……

Meanwhile, in the conference room of Jinling University, an ideological working meeting is being held.

As a result of what happened at the last meeting, President Xu named and criticized Director Chen, Director of International Affairs, and the bureaucratic phenomenon that is spreading as Kim Dae's status with the academic community in the country rises.

At the same time, he underscored, in three orders and five, how to be a truly international university, how to confront one's influence and how not to take a bad head on the question of principle.

For Kim Dae, Principal Xu can say that he is very emotional.

This isn't his alma mater, but it's where he's been working for over a decade.

At his age, it was already difficult to do anything extraordinary academically, and the only trusteeship was to develop more useful talent for the university, for the country, and for society.

Fortunately, Kim Dae is out of a Professor Lu, and under his influence everything is moving in the right direction.

In contrast, however, as Kim Dae's strength continues to grow, the hidden dangers behind this prosperity also breed together.

It is now the case that, without surprise, he can remain in office for up to five years. Within five years, of course, he seemed fine, but five years later, he should retire anyway, and he didn't know who would come up to this seat.

To give the university a brighter future, he intends to do something over the course of five years.

Don't ask for the glory of the National University, but be prepared to embrace the world by dedicating more than a decade of his life to Kim Dae.

Instead of letting those who think only of the veil hat on their heads turn this train, which carries the dreams of countless young people, into a ditch.

Unwinding the thermos cup, he drank a sip of hot water and moistened his voice. Just as Principal Xu was going to continue to say something, a knock sounded outside the conference room, and his secretary walked in from outside.

“Principal. ”

Suspended the speech for a while, and Principal Xu looked at him and asked.

“Something. ”

“The Security Section has just called to say that Professor Faltins, an internationally renowned scholar and director of the Institute of Mathematics at Maple House, Professor Schulz of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Bonn and Professor Holden, Secretary-General of the International Union of Mathematicians, would like to pay a visit to the Academician Lu. ”

Whispering was heard in the conference room.

That noisy argument contained obvious surprises and marvels.

Principal Xu similarly stunned and asked subconsciously.

“How come it's the Security Section? ”

The secretary said with a crying face.

'Cause people are already at the door. ”

Opening his mouth, he turned back to Principal Xu, and immediately looked back at the other participants in the conference room.

“What I just said, you figure it out for yourselves, is what an internationalized university is and what kind of international status is what we really need. Close the meeting!”

Go ahead, he was thrown off the microphone and rushed out the door.

……

If Perelman's sudden visit a few days ago was as if the Sun had risen from the West for the Ark.

So now that Professor Fartings and others are standing at the door of his office, he even begins to wonder if he is being sneaked in by naughty little Ai and wearing a helmet, in fact he is in a dream built by the Virtual Reality System.

Well, of course it's impossible.

He clearly remembered what the morning bag smelled like.

It's just that the Ark still didn't think that because of his paper, not only did Perelman, who had already “quit the river and lake”, come to him, but even old Mr. Schultz and Mr. Faltins came.

“I opened the door and asked, do you still need people here? ”

Hearing Professor Fartings, he returned to the divine ark and said with a strange expression.

“You're doing it for that too...”

Faltines didn't speak, just glanced at the side.

Looked at by the old gentleman, Schultz nodded helplessly.

“I am coming… Professor Fartings is only here with me. ”

The ship looked at Professor Fartings with a look on his face that he didn't know how to spit.

Seems to be somewhat embarrassed to be seen, the old gentleman coughed softly and said emotionally.

“As you should have seen, Professor Schultz's research is focused primarily on what appears to be a complete geometry field, where the core issue is the unity of algebra and geometry. After reading your paper, we agree that the route you are currently studying is the most promising way to complete this historic work. Then he offered to come and visit for a year to communicate, as for me..."

Speaking of which, for a moment, Professor Fartings continued with a dry cough.

“As for me, just come and check it out. I might stay a while. Of course, if there's anything I can do to help, you can tell me… If you're not short of people, just let me know and I won't have to worry about it. ”

“... how? I think people who would reject such good things should not exist,” The Ark stretched out its right hand with a smile, "and I welcome you, my friends who have come a long way, to join my subject. ”

Professor Fartings opened his mouth, seemingly trying to correct the statement about “you” in the ark, but finally thought about it and grabbed his right hand without saying anything.

If there was a reporter next door, the opportunity to take pictures would never be missed.

This handshake is absolutely historic at this particular time and occasion.

On the one hand is the strongest of the young mathematicians of the new era, and on the other is Professor Faltines, one of the existing spiritual leaders of the Brbaki school and one of the old-time scholars known as the first under Grotendik.

Without a doubt, these are two giants shaking hands!

“With so many experts here, there seems to be nothing left to worry about solving the theory of mathematical unification," said Schultz, smiling cheerfully and jokingly, "Do you want to open a bottle of champagne first? I can go buy it now. ”

“Let's leave it until our problems are solved," Professor Faltines said with a trembling finger pushing glasses on the nose beam after releasing his gripping hand, seriously saying, "Although we have achieved a lot so far, there are still a lot of problems to solve, and the situation is far from optimistic. Perhaps we have to solve Grotendik's remaining standard assumptions before we can really get to the heart of the challenge. ”

Of course, if the situation is optimistic, there may be no need for such hassle.

Even the great unification theory itself can serve as a catalyst for a range of mathematical propositions related to homogeneous theory, including standard assumptions.

But for a mathematical proposition, this is where the real trouble lies - that is, the unknown about the trouble itself.

But the look on Professor Faltins's face is more optimistic, even lighter.

Looking at his old friends who had come a long way, the Ark said in a joyful tone.

“Anyway, you've come a long way, and according to our Chinese etiquette, I should invite you to dinner before we talk about anything else. What do you want to eat? ”

“The golden roast duck is nice...” Professor Holden, standing beside him, raised his hand all of a sudden, hey, smiling, "I've wanted to eat for a long time. ”

The ark laughed and said.

“No problem, I promise you you'll eat it. ”
