Chapter 199: Reaching the Summit

"Wu Tong is still doing her research. You know, we don't set any limits on her and we support her pursuit!" Zhou Wenping looked at the bright sunshine outside the window. It was a rare good weather in March, just as bright as his expectation for Wu Tong.

There were still two days left before the two weeks Wu Tong had said. Even if the time was over, it didn't matter. Zhou Wenping didn't intend to rush them. They could wait. Since Wu Tong already had a direction, even if there was a slight deviation, he could still reach the other side of success by correcting it in time.

If we were to ask who is most likely to prove the Goldbach conjecture within this century, he thinks that everyone should have a guess and it must be Wu Tong.

"What?" Andrew Wiles stared at the computer screen in front of him with wide eyes, and the latest content of Arxiv popped up in disbelief.

It is his hobby to refresh Arxiv every day and follow the new progress in mathematics. This allows him to keep up with the latest achievements of his peers in the industry.

Perhaps other scholars and professors would assign this task to their students, but Andrew still felt that he would rather browse and check it himself. This was one of the ways he enjoyed staying in touch with mathematics every day.

[Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers]

Isn't this the Goldbach conjecture? Who solved and proved the Goldbach conjecture?

Andrew Wiles then saw the author's name, Wu Tong. This was the name he set as a special reminder. If there was any new development, it would pop up first and would not be thrown into the general category.

If it was someone else, Andrew might have thought it was a joke, but since the contributor was Wu Tong, his expression instantly became solemn. The shadow of the tree of life, Wu Tong's achievements were there.

"Zhou, Wu Tong proved the Goldbach conjecture?" Andrew Wiles seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking questions, as the words came from the microphone.

He had heard that Wu Tong was studying the Goldbach conjecture and was said to have entered a special Eastern research mode called seclusion, which means not contacting the outside world and focusing on research. For this reason, she even had the three major awards she won last year accepted by the school teachers and did not attend the award ceremony.

He thought that Wu Tong was pursuing the pursuit of genius, and any mathematician who studied number theory could not resist the temptation of Goldbach's conjecture and followed the footsteps of his predecessors to study Goldbach's conjecture. He had full confidence in Wu Tong and recognized his academic level. He had no doubt that Wu Tong would make certain achievements in Goldbach's conjecture.

Just like, Wu Tong had a wide range of interests before, and on the NS equation, he also took on the challenge of solving the limit of nonlinear equations, and explained it in another way, opening a new chapter of cross-border research!

However, he absolutely did not expect that Wu Tong could conquer the Goldbach conjecture and reach the top of Mount Everest in such a short time, less than half a year after her last achievement!

"What?" Zhou Wenping was also stunned. "Wu Tong proved it?" It was already proved within two weeks. This news made Zhou Wenping a little confused. He was so happy and excited that he couldn't control himself. Andrew could see it there first. Zhou Wenping used the last bit of his reason to judge that it was the preprint website Arxiv.

He opened Arxiv in a hurry.

"Wu Tong has proved the Goldbach conjecture and has posted it on Arxiv. Zhou, please allow me to hang up the phone first and go to verify Wu's proof. I believe you feel the same way at this moment!" Andrew Wiles thought the signal was bad, so he repeated it, and then hung up the phone anxiously.

The Goldbach conjecture has been proved, which is definitely an earthquake-breaking news. As people who follow Wu Tong or Arxiv discovered this paper, they were all shocked and could not believe it, and the impact continued to spread and ferment.

Two days ago, Wu Tong was getting more and more energetic as she wrote, writing as if inspired by God, as she wrote the final chapter. On her desk, there were already several thick stacks of manuscripts, all of which were the results of her work over the past few days.

【····Obviously, we have Px(1,1)····n=p1m1---xna--·····（27）】

【····From formula (27), we can introduce Theorem 7, Theorem 8, Theorem 9···, and prove that Theorem 1 is true】

Theorem 1, which is the Goldbach conjecture in her proof, states that for any sufficiently large even number N, there exist prime numbers A and B that can be written as the sum of A+B.

After climbing the last step, Wu Tong reached the top of the mountain and had a panoramic view of the mountains. She felt refreshed and had conquered the Goldbach conjecture, which is known as the crown jewel of number theory.

The absolute direction and absolute deduction both proved that she had really done it! If mathematics had levels, after half a year of accumulation and precipitation, she felt as if she had suddenly become enlightened and reached a new level.

The enlightenment stone tablet rippled in the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness, as if celebrating and cheering for her. A trickle of warm current overflowed from it, soaking and baptizing her body from top to bottom. The consumption of her brain's passionate deduction was instantly replenished, and with a slightly swollen feeling, she could feel that the space in her sea of ​​consciousness doubled.

Wu Tong's physical fitness has also been strengthened and improved. He basically won't get sick and will no longer be troubled by his current illness. His vitality has been enhanced, and any slight injury will recover as quickly as possible.

This is the enlightenment stele being supplemented again because of Wu Tong's efforts, and it is given to Wu Tong to share. It and Wu Tong are one and the same, sharing weal and woe.

With her energy restored, Wu Tong struck while the iron was hot and began editing the paper, transforming her deductive manuscript into a well-organized paper and publishing it as soon as possible.

Wu Tong worked very hard on the explanation, including the sieve method. For two whole days and two nights, except for a little rest and meal time, he hardly stopped. He edited the entire argumentation process into a nearly sixty or seventy-page paper as quickly as possible, typed the final translation, and submitted the paper to the most familiar mathematical journal, and simultaneously uploaded it to the preprint website Arxiv.

Wu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally completed another project and put an end to something that had been on her mind for a long time. The completion of this certification also meant that she had begun the countdown to graduation. She was about to graduate!

Although such a major achievement needs to be recognized by the outside world, it takes a long time for the review and verification to be published, and it may take one to two years or even longer to be recognized by the International Mathematical Union and transformed into Wu's Theorem.

However, for Wu Tong, these are just incidental.

The most important thing is that she did it and completed it. Last year, she used this as an excuse, but it finally stopped being an excuse and became a fact. As for recognition and verification, it will take time to settle. She has enough confidence that she has really succeeded!

After completing this project, she was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and she could finally announce that she would take a temporary leave and go back to be with her family. She would ask if there were any restrictions on her freedom. If there were no restrictions, she would book a ticket to go home immediately!
