Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Molina did not come in together, but stood at the door.

This seemed to be a big contradiction between grandfather and granddaughter, and when entering the house, the ark could clearly feel that the old man was a little embarrassed to face her.

The contradiction between the two was not very clear, and the ark was not keen to get involved in other people's household affairs. After explaining its intentions, it quietly followed the old man's footsteps to the painting on the hanging wall at the stairwell.

The person in the painting has a dark blonde curly hair and the brackets that are still popular today, Liu Hai, and the young five officials are quiet and peaceful... and a little handsome.

It's a little worse than it is, but it's already pretty good.

Beyond that, however, there does not seem to be any clue what the Ark is expecting, just a simple portrait.

“The painting was created in 1835… reportedly by a small, well-known Norwegian painter at the time, according to the oral statements of his loved ones.” Standing behind the ark, the old man said.

In fact, the relative was actually Professor Abel's fiancée, but he hesitated for a while to hide it selectively.

He retracted his gaze from the painting, and the ark looked at the elderly, curious.

“So this painting is almost 200 years old. ”

“Well, it's probably the most valuable thing in this room… although it's not much. ”

How much did it cost to buy it at that time? The old man can't remember. But it shouldn't be particularly expensive to want to be able to afford even your own salary.

After all, not everyone is interested in a mathematician's portrait, not to mention a “short-lived” genius. Without a special hobby, people who can afford it will probably not buy it. Perhaps the museum would be willing to buy the painting away, but it is also difficult to offer a high price.

The precipitation of time alone doesn't really explain anything. It depends on the painter's own fame, who painted it, and the context of the era of the work.

“Is this all Professor Abel's relics besides the oil painting and the notes? ”

The old man nodded.

“That's all. ”

If a thought nodded, the ark pondered for a while and suddenly said.

“Speaking of which, I've always had a problem. ”

“What's the problem? ”

“It is said that Professor Abel has not been married in his life, and that you are his next of kin? ”

When I heard the question, the old man suddenly had an awkward look on his face and his gaze hid away.

“… maybe. ”

Perhaps?

Looking at the elderly man, the ark stunned slightly and tacitly guessed a little something, so turned off this subject that could cause embarrassment.

“Where did you get these things? ”

“From a collector's hand. ”

The ark immediately asked.

“Can you still reach him? I mean, can you introduce him to me? ”

The old man shook his head and said.

“The guy died a few years ago, and I'm afraid I can't help you. If you're interested in Professor Abel's relics, those notes are all there. Although I didn't expect my granddaughter to give them to you... anyway, I hope you can keep them safe. ”

Capturing that shame flashing in the eyes of the elderly, the ark confirmed the speculation in its heart.

Indeed, most of the descendants of the so-called Professor Abel were self-proclaimed by this old man. In his impression, the genius, who lived only in his twenties, had only one fiancée, ignoring the situation of his illegitimate son, and the possibility of leaving offspring was almost negligible.

Molina's mood was so unstable last night that she wanted to know about it.

The ark was silent for a while and suddenly said, thinking of the resistance that Molina had shown on her face when she was facing the elderly.

“Last night, your granddaughter was very emotional… ah, I didn't mean that. ”

“I know, I see you've seen it. It's a terrible lie, isn't it? ”

Understand what the Ark is trying to say, the old man's eyes flashed a flash.

He shook his head, his tone was filled with remorse, and he mumbled and said, "I can't help it... who would have thought her father would take it seriously, when I realized that things had turned out like this. ”

Looking at the expression of remorse on the old man's face, the ark sighed and said softly.

“I think the reason she's angry and emotional is not because she's not Professor Abel's descendant, but because the person closest to her actually cheated on herself… and cheated on herself for almost three decades. ”

Blood is meaningless to science, just as most ideas of genius are born by chance, and a great scholar is born by the inevitability of history in this world, but more is a coincidence when it comes to individuals in civilization.

Perhaps future generations of scholars have an advantage in education over their peers and are more susceptible to the influence of their parents in choosing a profession, but there is no such thing as being a scientist.

Paused for a moment, the ark continued.

“… although I do not have a position to say so from an outsider, I suggest that you and she apologize honestly. ”

The old man shook his painful head and said: “She will not forgive me, nor will I forgive myself...”

“She forgives you for leaving it up to her to decide, as for the latter…” Arjungton continued, "In fact, you don't have to blame yourself too much. I can see that her passion for mathematics is because she really likes it. Although there is no natural way to qualify this kind of thing, I don't think she has embarked on a ’wrong‘ path. ”

“As for the expectations she imposes on herself, it's okay to lose them. ”

The so-called self-reproach was simply because she believed that her lies had affected her granddaughter's life. But at least in the eyes of the outsider, the Ark, things aren't what the old man thinks.

It is impossible to persevere on this path for more than two decades, day in and day out, simply by relying on the sense of purpose that has been imposed on you.

And for Molina, knowing the truth is not a good thing.

At the very least, it can set the mindset straight.

Although it is difficult to reach the height of a front-line scholar with her talents, she can already be considered a leading scholar in the second line. If you stay calm and concentrate on your research, you won't have a chance to touch the edge of the Fields Prize before you're 40.

Of course, if you can touch it, that's another thing.

After all, the transformation from second-line scholars to first-line scholars is not just enough for sweat.

This requires a little bit of luck in addition to effort.

Anyone who can completely ignore the factors of luck to do this, no matter what the era, is the existence of Cape Phoenix.

After listening to the ark, the old man was silent for a while.

It was a long time before he spoke.

“Thanks, maybe you're right. ”

Looking at the look on his face, he nodded softly for the Ark, which was delighted for him.

“Just a suggestion. ”
