Zhao Qiqi stared at Chen Zhou and asked slowly, "Brother Chen, did you solve the Jebov guess?"

"Yes, but does it matter?" Chen Zhou glanced at Zhao Qiqi and nodded.

Then he reacted and looked at Zhu Mingli and Li Li again.

From the helpless expressions of the three people, Chen Zhou roughly knew what was going on.

This is probably due to the impact of the preprint uploaded last night.

Since these people couldn't find me, they had to ask Zhao Qiqi and the others for help.

But at the same time, Chen Zhou was also a little proud.

Fortunately, Yang Yiyi reminded me to set the Do Not Disturb mode before going to bed.

Otherwise, I would have been woken up long ago.

"Uh... that..." Chen Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

Zhao Qiqi turned around and walked back to her desk, picked up a piece of draft paper, and read: "Professor Wu Xiping made 5 calls, Professor Zhang Zhongyuan made 6 calls, Dean Zhou made 3 calls, Dean Sun also made 2 calls, and President Qiu made 1 call, and there were many senior students..."

Chen Zhou looked at Zhao Qiqi in surprise: "Did you remember it?"

Zhao Qiqi rolled her eyes at Chen Zhou helplessly: "With so many people here, how can we remember them if we don't write them down?"

Chen Zhou: “…”

However, Chen Zhou did not rush to call these people back, but took his time to wash up and have breakfast.

Then, I turned off the Do Not Disturb mode on my phone.

Looking at the message notifications and the number of missed calls on his phone, Chen Zhou couldn't help but hold his forehead.

My goodness, are these people really going crazy?

Just as Chen Zhou was hesitating whether to reply to everyone first or call them one by one, his cell phone rang again.

The caller ID is [Professor Wu Xiping].

Chen Zhou pressed the answer button, adjusted his mood, and asked with a smile: "Professor Wu, what do you want to talk to me about? I just happened to be looking for you too..."

Wu Xiping on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Are you looking for me?"

He didn't expect that Chen Zhou would say that he had something to talk to him about. He had been looking for this guy all morning!

Chen Zhou immediately said, "Yes, you are my graduation advisor, so of course I have to look for you! It's the Debov conjecture, which I solved by accident. I just want to ask, when will we arrange the graduation defense?"

Wu Xiping was silent for a full minute.

What does it mean to solve them all by accident?

Are you planning to solve it one by one?

But looking at your personality, no matter how I look at it, you don’t look like one.

Wu Xiping was speechless, especially towards Chen Zhou.

As a result, all the questions I had prepared at the beginning were no longer available to me.

Finally, Wu Xiping just asked softly: "Have you really figured out the proof of the Jebov conjecture?"

Chen Zhou said softly: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Wu Xiping asked again: "Have you finished writing the paper on the proof of the Jebov conjecture?"

Chen Zhou replied: "No, it's just that the proof process has been completed, and the only thing left is to write the paper."

Wu Xiping said "Oh", thinking of the graduation defense that Chen Zhou asked about, and said: "Well, you should finish all the papers first. You can't use the preprint to prove the graduation defense. Don't worry, there is still time. I have to report to the dean before I can make a decision."

Chen Zhou replied very quickly: "Okay, Professor Wu, I'll wait for your notification! If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

Wu Xiping subconsciously said "OK", but immediately shouted: "No, wait a minute, check out the comments from abroad now!"

Chen Zhou asked doubtfully: "Comments?"

Wu Xiping: “About your preprint!”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiping looked at the phone helplessly, thinking to himself: "This kid accidentally did something earth-shattering again ! Oh, no, why did I say accidentally?"

Chen Zhou looked at his phone silently, thought for a moment, turned on his computer, and prepared to search for the comments mentioned by Wu Xiping.

Unexpectedly, Li Li had been waiting there and handed over his computer at the right time.

"Brother Chen, everything is ready for you!"

Chen Zhou looked at Li Li with a strange expression, took the computer, and started looking at it.

It turned out that it happened early this morning, which was afternoon in the United States.

Chen Zhou's proof of the Debov conjecture sparked public opinion abroad.

In the forum, it is no longer just a discussion among mathematics enthusiasts.

The opinions of the mathematics giants were also reposted on the forum.

That is, while Chen Zhou was sleeping, Deligne and others finished reading his preprint.

Although compared to the final paper, the preprint will have many flaws.

However, the ideas and proof concepts are essentially the same.

This is also the reason why many academic masters like to publish preprints to occupy a position.

After reading it, Deligne and others had a brief communication , and several of them expressed their anticipation for Chen Zhou's final paper.

I am also looking forward to the first heavyweight article published in Annals of Mathematics in 2016!

They have decided to immediately inform the editorial department of the "Annals of Mathematics" and quickly ask Chen Zhou to write an article!

In addition, Professor Deligne, the Belgian Viscount, is the favorite student of the Emperor of Algebraic Geometry.

He also stated that Chen Zhou's research on the Gerbov conjecture is not limited to the Gerbov conjecture itself.

Because the potential of the distributed deconstruction method that he has perfected again is admirable just through the preprint!

Professor Faltings also rarely said that Chen Zhou's use of distributional deconstruction method to solve the Jebov conjecture was something he could have anticipated.

But in this process, he once again gave new ideas to the distributed deconstruction method, which I had not expected!

Professor Langlands and Professor Feferman were both impressed by Chen Zhou's mathematical talent!

This is the first time that Chen Zhou has been recognized by Princeton University, the contemporary world center of mathematics!

Of course, the only thing controversial about these comments is that.

The thing is, this is not a public comment.

This came from the mouths of students from Princeton University!

At the same time, the scene is that Professor Deligne and others spent several hours carefully reading Chen Zhou's preprint.

The evaluation given!

It was their first praise and the first sigh of admiration after they came away from the preprint of the proof of the Jebov conjecture!

Therefore, their students will be surprised at their teacher's attitude.

Even more so if it’s just one person saying it.

Perhaps there are personal factors involved.
