Chapter 104 Chapter 104 [Arrival at Kyoto University]
The plane landed at Beijing Airport. After Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei talked for a while, they took taxis to different directions, one went home and the other went directly to Beijing University to report.
It was noon when Lin Yimu arrived at Peking University. He thought he had to go in and ask someone about the registration place before he could go find Professor Jiang. He didn't expect that there would be someone waiting at the school gate to pick him up.
"Lin Yimu!"
Lin Yimu turned around and looked at the young man who was walking towards him quickly. Although he didn't know the other person, the fact that the other person called out his name after seeing his back meant that he must be very familiar with him.
When the other party came to stand in front of him, Lin Yimu smiled and said politely: "Hello, what do you want to ask me?"
The young man pushed his glasses that had slipped down his nose due to his rapid walking, and introduced himself in a very friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Liang Bo, and I'm Professor Jiang's doctoral student. Professor Jiang told me that you should be here by now, so he asked me to come out to pick you up."
After Lin Yimu heard the other party's purpose and identity, the polite smile on his face became more genuine, and he said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Liang. I am really sorry to trouble you."
Liang Bo noticed the change in Lin Yimu's attitude, but he didn't care. He just smiled and led Lin Yimu to the campus, saying, "Why are you being polite? I may have to trouble you again in the future. I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office to register, and then put your luggage in the dormitory and go eat together. I think you are in a hurry to come here from the airport and haven't had lunch yet, right?"
"Okay, Brother Liang, then I won't be polite. I did come here directly from the airport and haven't had time to eat. I just happen to be a little hungry right now." Lin Yimu felt Liang Bo's kindness and relaxed his attitude and said with a smile.
The two chatted as they walked. Liang Bo told Lin Yimu about the environment and layout of the campus from time to time so that he could better understand Peking University. After that, they went to apply for admission and had lunch together. Finally, Lin Yimu was taken directly to Professor Jiang's office.
Professor Jiang had just come out of the laboratory and was sorting out materials in the office. When he saw Lin Yimu pushing the door open, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiaomu, you're here. Come and sit down. I hurriedly dragged you here just as the holiday started. Don't blame me in your heart for not letting you take a vacation."
Hearing this, Lin Yimu sighed helplessly and said, "Professor, please stop teasing me. It is my honor to be able to study with you. This is an opportunity that many people would beg for. How could I be so ungrateful?"
Professor Jiang couldn't help showing a sour expression on his face when listening to Lin Yimu's words. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop saying such polite words. I've known you for so long, don't I know you? But you may be disappointed this time. I asked you to help not by following me, but by asking you to go to Liang Bo's research group and help them."
After Professor Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yimu's expression and found that he was not unhappy, so he continued: "But don't worry, the topic their group is researching will definitely not disappoint you. If you agree to help, I can help you go to Lao Zheng's laboratory to take a look, how about it?"
From the books that Lin Yi Mu had studied on his own during training, Professor Jiang knew that Lin Yi Mu was interested in turbulence, and since Lin Yi Mu happened to have the ability, he could take this opportunity to introduce him to the team.
Lin Yimu was indeed a little depressed just now, but now after hearing what Professor Jiang said, he thought about the newly released tasks. It was really like someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.
So Lin Yimu hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing. However, after agreeing, he was still a little curious and asked, "Professor, why do you insist on my help? If the senior brothers encounter problems with their projects, can't they ask you?"
Professor Jiang sorted out the materials in his hand and explained helplessly: "I have a more important cooperation project on hand, and I can't take care of them for the time being. I can only bring you here. It just so happens that you can also get familiar with the Mathematical Research Center."
Although Lin Yimu was somewhat curious about what kind of project could make Professor Jiang so busy that he had no time to teach students and did not even plan to bring his own doctoral students to participate, he also knew that some of the projects that scholars like Professor Jiang were involved in were confidential, so he did not ask any more questions.
After that, the two talked about some things about Lin Yimu's studies. Before they had said a few words, Professor Jiang's cell phone rang. It was the assistant calling to urge Professor Jiang to go to dinner.
"Xiao Mu, have you had lunch?" Professor Jiang hung up the phone and asked Lin Yi Mu.
Of course Lin Yimu heard the voice on the phone just now, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Liang has already taken me to dinner, you should go eat quickly, don't starve yourself."
Professor Jiang said nonchalantly, "You just came out of the lab. Since you've already had your meal, I'll take you to meet my students before we go to eat. You can do research with them this afternoon and get your ID card from the institute."
Professor Jiang was about to pick up the documents at hand and stand up, but was stopped by Lin Yimu's quick eyes and hands.
"Professor, this matter is not urgent. I think you should go eat first. Your body will not be able to bear it if you don't eat." Lin Yimu looked at Professor Jiang with concern and said.
Professor Jiang simply waved his hand and said, "It's not that troublesome. You can stop by later. I'll take you to get familiar with everyone first." Then he walked out regardless of Lin Yimu's dissuasion.
Lin Yimu looked at the stubborn old man walking in front of him and sighed helplessly in his heart, but he followed behind. Liang Bo, who brought him to the office, had already returned to the research institute.
Lin Yimu followed Professor Jiang to the laboratory and saw that there were already three or four people busy in the laboratory.
As soon as Lin Yimu and Professor Jiang walked into the laboratory, several people who were busy looked over. When they saw Lin Yimu standing next to Professor Jiang, they all smiled.
Finally, Liang Bo stepped forward and said, "Professor, why did you bring Junior Brother Lin here at this time? I heard from them that you just left the laboratory and didn't have time to have lunch yet."
Professor Jiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. I just sent him here to introduce you to each other. Since you are here, I will hand him over to you. Since it's not so busy during the break, you can help him get familiar with the environment and tell him about the research progress of our topic."
When Professor Jiang saw Liang Bo, who had met Lin Yimu before, he thought of handing the person over to him so that both parties could get to know each other better. After all, they would be working together for a long time in the future.
Upon hearing this, Liang Bo smiled and responded, "I understand, professor. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Junior Brother Lin. You should go eat first, so as not to hurt your stomach by being hungry." As he said this, he very kindly grabbed the shoulder of Lin Yimu who was standing next to him.
Lin Yimu was also worried about Professor Jiang's health. After all, Professor Jiang was not young anymore, so he agreed, "Professor, just listen to Brother Liang and go to dinner. Don't worry, I have him here to take care of you."
Professor Jiang happily watched Lin Yimu and his students getting along harmoniously, nodded with relief, and turned to leave the laboratory.
After Professor Jiang disappeared, Liang Bo took Lin Yimu's shoulder and led him to the other people and said, "Come on, if you are not busy now, come and meet our new junior. He will work with you on this project, but you will be together for a long time, so you must get along well."
As Professor Jiang's doctoral student, Liang Bo has been with him the longest among the group, so he naturally takes on the responsibility of being the senior fellow. Even Professor Jiang himself thinks highly of Liang Bo, so he was the one who introduced Lin Yimu.
The remaining three people were already very curious about Lin Yi Mu. They had all heard of Lin Yi Mu's name, but because they were always busy with their studies, they had no chance to meet him.
Now that they finally saw the real person, they couldn't help but look at Lin Yi Mu with curious eyes. After hearing Liang Bo's words, they quickly put down the things in their hands and came to Lin Yi Mu.
Lin Yimu felt very uncomfortable being stared at by several people with curious and eager eyes, and he couldn't help but move back.
Liang Bo noticed Lin Yimu's actions and stepped forward to smooth things over, saying with a smile: "Okay, I know everyone is curious about our Junior Brother Lin, but you don't have to be so enthusiastic. Look how scared you are."
After Liang Bo finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Lin Yimu, who had stepped back a few steps with a defensive look on his face. He said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid. They just hear people mention you so often that they are very curious about you."
Next, Liang Bo introduced the people in front of him to Lin Yimu one by one. Except for Liang Bo who was Professor Jiang's direct doctoral student, the other three were admitted from other schools and selected by Professor Jiang. They were all graduate students under Professor Jiang.
This research project was a graduation topic that Professor Jiang applied for and gave to them. The reason why he asked Lin Yimu to come was that Professor Jiang felt that with Lin Yimu's presence, he could motivate these students to a greater extent. On the other hand, he wanted Lin Yimu to give them some help.
Because they have been stuck on this topic for a long time and have not made any breakthrough, and Professor Jiang is busy with another more important project and cannot answer their questions at any time, so they thought of Lin Yimu, this genius, and let Lin Yimu adapt to the rhythm of the laboratory in advance.
After listening to Liang Bo's introduction and explanation, Lin Yimu's expression gradually relaxed. He looked at the three young men in front of him and smiled politely, "Hello, senior brothers. Please take care of me in the next period of time."
The other three also greeted Lin Yi Mu very friendly. Later, during the lunch break, they introduced the progress of the project to Lin Yi Mu. Liang Bo originally planned to take Lin Yi Mu around to familiarize himself with the environment, but was rejected by Lin Yi Mu.
"It's okay, senior brother. I'm here to help, and I also want to experience the atmosphere and rhythm of the laboratory as soon as possible. Let's go directly to learn about the topic." Lin Yimu said, looking at the laboratory with bright eyes.
Seeing Lin Yimu's expression, Liang Bo had no choice but to agree. He took Lin Yimu directly to the blackboard where they were doing calculations. The blackboard was already densely covered with verification formulas, and some formulas were crossed out.
Lin Yimu listened to the explanations of Liang Bo and his three senior brothers, his eyes wandering over the verification formulas. After reading them completely, Lin Yimu finally knew what their topic was. Isn't this the BSD conjecture in the Millennium Prize problem?
The BSD conjecture, whose full name is the Bayh and Swinton-Dyer conjecture, is one of the seven major mathematical problems in the world. It describes the connection between the arithmetic and analytic properties of Abelian varieties and is a problem in the field of number theory.
No wonder Professor Jiang asked him to help, probably because he thought that he was good at number theory, and he had solved a mathematical conjecture before, so he should have a different way of solving the problem in front of him.
After listening to the explanations of several senior brothers, Lin Yimu did not express any opinions immediately, because he had just arrived and did not understand their thinking of solving the problem. He just listened and watched silently.
