Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 434: Are you studying Gecai?
Below the stage, the applause grew louder.
From time to time, you can hear whistles.
This is enough to show how high the emotions of the audience have been raised by Chen Zhou.
Professor Ating gave a few brief instructions and then asked Chen Zhou to return to his seat.
Then he began to explain the proof of this inference using the proof steps written by Chen Zhou on the whiteboard.
For Chen Zhou, who once made history here.
He also has some different feelings today.
However, no matter what, under such public attention.
I stood up alone to face Professor Atin's difficult question, a question that no one took the initiative to answer.
Then he solved the difficult problem in one go, returned to his seat calmly, and enjoyed the warm applause.
This feeling is really, really great!
Chen Zhou returned to his seat, looked around, then turned to Liu Maosheng and asked, "Brother Liu, where are the two Harvard students?"
When Chen Zhou walked back to his seat, he was looking for the two men.
It was not until he returned to his seat and didn't see the two people that he took the initiative to ask.
Liu Maosheng slightly restrained his smug look and said, "Oh, those two people, I think they have gone into the crack in the ground..."
Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Liu Maosheng meant.
Chen Zhou estimated that from the moment he came on stage to the moment his name appeared on the lips of the people below the stage, these two people began to feel uneasy.
But he probably still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that his proof was wrong.
But in the end, Professor Artin's words "great proof" directly shattered the hopes of these two people.
"It's better to leave..." Chen Zhou said casually.
After hearing Chen Zhou's words, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu immediately became excited.
Liu Maosheng said, "That's right. If they don't leave, they will be embarrassed to death when they see you coming down, right?"
Zeng Zigu also said: "Chen Zhou, you don't know, the faces of those two people were blue and white. If you don't know, you would think they were imitating the Sichuan Opera face-changing..."
Chen Zhou shook his head slightly, but also felt a little regretful.
Wouldn’t it be a pity if you missed out on this free Sichuan Opera face-changing?
As Chen Zhou proved the corollary of this theorem, the atmosphere in the auditorium changed.
It wasn't as dull as it was at the beginning, but rather a bit more relaxed and joyful.
In particular, the radiation circle surrounding Chen Zhou's seat.
Professor Atin saw this scene but did not say anything to stop it.
Friendly exchanges between students can still be encouraged.
That’s right, those students who had previously surrounded Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu, asking questions and praising Chen Zhou.
Now we have finally found the real owner.
One by one, they started chatting with Chen Zhou.
All the words used were "big boss is awesome" and so on.
In response, Chen Zhou simply said: "This question is actually not difficult. As long as you open your mind, you can prove the lemma of the original theorem and then generalize it."
In response to Chen Zhou's words, the group of people nodded in agreement and praised Chen Zhou for his quick thinking.
In response to this wave of compliments, Chen Zhou just smiled slightly and said, "Not bad."
What Chen Zhou didn't notice was that Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were staring at him without blinking.
This is what Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu were thinking at this time.
Shit, it turns out that all the big guys are so pretentious?
Now, I have learned...
Next time I have a chance, I will help Chen Zhou pretend to be cool...
The lecture lasted nearly 3 hours at around 5 pm.
The event ended amid warm applause.
When announcing the end of the lecture, Professor Ating also said humorously: "Originally, I planned to limit this lecture to about two hours, or at most two and a half hours. But I didn't expect that my new graduate student would jump out on his own."
"If you think it takes too long, don't blame me, blame Chen Zhou..."
Professor Ating's words immediately caused laughter from the audience.
But this laughter was well-intentioned.
If Chen Zhou hadn't stepped forward, they would have been embarrassed.
Although you may not be able to solve it, it is normal.
Although Professor Ating wouldn't say anything.
But with so many people attending the lecture, not a single person was able to step forward and solve the problem.
Especially in a school like MIT, with the help of Harvard alumni next door.
If this were to be told to others, it would be really embarrassing.
Fortunately, this classmate Chen Zhou helped everyone save face.
As for the two classmates who seemed to be Harvard alumni, they eventually left in disgrace.
It will probably become a memory that people will talk about with relish, along with this lecture.
After the lecture, Chen Zhou did not leave with Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu.
Because just now on the stage, Professor Ating told him not to leave .
When everyone left, only Professor Ating, Chen Zhou and some staff were left in the auditorium.
Chen Zhou greeted Professor Ating as he walked down from the stage: "Professor, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Professor Ating glanced at Chen Zhou, then smiled and said, "At first , I was going to ask you if you had finished reading that pile of information, and then ask you if you planned to join my research group first, or to do your own research first. But now there is no need..."
Chen Zhou didn't understand what Professor Ating meant. He asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Professor Atin did not answer immediately, but said: "From your proof just now, I already know where you have read the pile of information. Your learning efficiency is amazing to me."
"Professor Qiu's evaluation of you is also very accurate. It is consistent with my perception."
The puzzled expression on Chen Zhou's face became more serious.
What is Professor Qiu’s evaluation?
It seems like I only know one Professor Qiu?
Sure enough, seeing the confusion on Chen Zhou's face, Professor Ating explained: "Professor Qiu Chengtong next door. He commented that you are 'extremely rigorous in calculations, meticulous and correct in logic, and extremely clear in thinking'. You should know this comment, right?"
Chen Zhou nodded: "Yes, Professor, this is the evaluation given by Professor Qiu when I participated in the Qiu Chengtong Undergraduate Mathematics Competition."
When saying this, Chen Zhou showed a look of nostalgia.
Time flies so fast.
Now he has graduated from Yan University and came to MIT.
By the way, Mr. Qiu lives next door. You can find some time to visit him.
Professor Artin added: "This is also my evaluation of you, whether from your previous papers or from today's proof process."
Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Professor."
Then, Professor Ating looked at Chen Zhou and asked with a smile: "You have been studying the Goldbach conjecture recently, right? It is not easy to do two things at the same time when studying such a difficult problem."
