The twin prime conjecture has been proved by this kid. In the field of number theory, especially prime numbers, Wu Tong can be said to be at the top in the country, and even internationally renowned. It is hard for them not to be curious about the kid's next goal.

Now a word has spread among the small circles of Peking University that any target targeted by Wu Tong can be expected to be dealt with swiftly.

"Do you want to challenge the Polignac conjecture in the same series?" Professor Zhou Wenping asked with a smile. The twin prime conjecture under the special state of K=1 proves that there are infinite prime number pairs (p, p+2k), where k is a positive integer. The Polignac conjecture should be the most suitable next plan.

However, they were not surprised that the child just wanted to challenge the Goldbach conjecture.

The young man is full of vigor and vitality, and has achieved such major results one after another. What does some ambition mean? He is fearless, and this is what a young man should be like!

These middle-aged or old men, who hasn't been a teenager, who hasn't had the ambition to kick the Göttingen guess and sweep the Riemann function...?

At most, these teachers can pay more attention to the children to prevent them from being frustrated, getting stuck in a dead end, becoming devastated and wasting their talents.

What’s next?

Wu Tong smiled a little embarrassedly. "When proving twin primes, I already had some ideas about the Polignac conjecture. I might try to explore the Goldbach conjecture, or study fluid mechanics and materials science!"

Over the past six months of research on prime numbers, she had accumulated a profound understanding of prime numbers, and in number theory, to the point where her current level of understanding had almost reached its limit. Breakthroughs and progress, without special inspiration, were not something that could be achieved overnight.

Therefore, Wu Tong set a higher goal for himself and wanted to try to study other sections, firstly to avoid wasting time, and secondly to learn by analogy!

"The main task is to study more. The Goldbach conjecture is a big goal I set for myself!" Wu Tong modestly added an explanation. Teachers, please don't misunderstand, she can solve this crown jewel of number theory immediately.

She really just wanted to set a goal and at least solve it by working on her graduation thesis. She definitely couldn't do it this year!

"Have we found an idea for the Polignac conjecture?" As expected, these were the surprised tones of the teachers present. It was no wonder that they, as professors at Kyoto University, did not pay attention to their image as role models.

In fact, meeting such a brilliant student always exceeded their expectations.

When did proving a conjecture become so easy? It feels like something you can easily accomplish, rather than a massive problem that has plagued humanity for centuries or millennia.

Guess what, no, no, no, you're not overestimating yourself, they're the ones who overestimate themselves! Among all of you sitting here, the last person to qualify is probably the youngest girl.

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but feel happy. Will they be able to witness the proof of Polignac's conjecture in the near future?

"Okay, okay, take your time. I'll ask Teacher Li to get a form later. You can apply for the project first and ask the Academic Affairs Office to approve the funding for you!" Pan Wenhua explained carefully. This time, their Peking University must have some presence.

Despite the two significant proofs they obtained the previous times, they still could not legitimately serve as Wu Tong's signature school. What a huge loss!

"Okay, Dean Pan, after the meeting I will assist Wu Tong in completing the application submission!" Li Yishen said, no problem.

As the Peking University teacher who interacts the most with Wu Tong and is arguably the one Wu Tong trusts the most, Professor Li Yisheng has undoubtedly been recognized by both Wu Tong and Peking University as one of Wu Tong's admission instructors.

Although, due to Wu Tong's rapid progress, this guidance is now only guidance based on life and experience, it is still very sought after by many professors and associate professors of Peking University.

Li Yisheng was quite willing to endure this hardship, and it didn't matter if he put in a little more effort! Who wouldn't want to have such a brilliant student, who was about to grow into a big tree to provide shade? With just a little guidance, teachers like them could all get a first-class estimate. What a wonderful thing! Thinking of this, I don't know how many people envied Li Yisheng.

If it weren't for the shamelessness, many teachers would have wanted to join Wu Tong, who could be their guiding light. Li Yisheng was delighted, and all the envy, jealousy and hatred were ignored in his mind.

"It's a good thing to learn more, but our focus should still be on mathematics. Mathematics is the most beautiful theory of the universe!" Zhou Wenping added.

The wide range of interests of such students is also a headache. They have to be vigilant at all times about their top students so that they don't get snatched away by other shameless people.

Dean Pan was reluctant to say this; he had to offer some persuasion. The child was still young, and with such achievements, they could only coax and persuade him, not force him. They couldn't let such a mathematical genius go astray.

"I know, Dean, Professor Zhou, mathematics is the foundation of all science. I will never give up studying mathematics!" Wu Tong nodded and agreed with a smile. She didn't say she wouldn't pursue other subjects, but mathematics would be her foundation.

Professor Zhou's words reminded her of a joke that Teacher Li had told her.

There is a chain of contempt in the field of mathematics: those who work on theory look down on those who work on applications, those who work on applications look down on those who work on statistics, and those who work on statistics look down on those who work on machine learning...

Theory and application are actually two major disputes, and they look down on each other.

However, this is not absolutely true in China, especially among the older generation. For the sake of national development, they basically regard themselves as bricks, moving wherever they are needed and working hard to conquer and learn in unfamiliar fields. The older generation in China is more pragmatic, and for the rise of China, practicality is still the main focus.

Wu Tong was interested in fluid mechanics and materials science, not only because of his own interests but also because of his connection with Jin Xin. Jin Xin applied and was accepted in the early admissions round. He had already decided on his path and enrolled in the School of Aerospace Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China, majoring in aircraft design and engineering.

Originally, Wu Tong had no particular priority in the study section, but out of interest, it was Wu Tong's priority.

After the meeting, Li Yishen gave Wu Tong a heartfelt analysis of the scientific research funding section.

"Although you are still a student, no one will treat you as an ordinary student. You proved the Zhou conjecture and the twin prime conjecture. These two awards were obtained by the college on your behalf. This is under the scholarship section.

With your current academic level and the school's endorsement, you're already qualified to apply for a national project! "This kid is so young, it's enviable. He's not even an adult yet, but the country will definitely not ignore Wu Tong's excellence. They're not sticking to a specific type of talent, they're selecting top talents. It's not like Wu Tong can't give it a try."
