Wu Tong vaguely had some material matching directions, but these directions still needed to be verified in the laboratory. Only after having further data could she determine the direction more precisely and deduce the next step.
The birth of a new material is never achieved overnight. It requires countless scientific researchers to work tirelessly day and night, experience countless failures, and also a bit of luck before a flash of success can be achieved.
Although she has a combination that is equivalent to assisted fast-forwarding, it is obvious that she is not yet so magical that she can create something out of nothing.
She still needed to experiment with the material ratios and production processes before she could have more accurate data, which she could use as a basis for further preparation. Perhaps, after returning home, she could ask the school if she could borrow the school's materials laboratory to try it out?
With an absolute direction, she felt that she still had some guarantee of success!
·········
Thinking about some dangerous rumors she had heard before, Wu Tong felt that although the things she had tinkered with were not top secret, she should still be more cautious when she was abroad.
She won't leave this notebook behind for the time being.
In fact, she knew all the data in her mind. Burning it would have been the best option, but hotel rooms usually have smoke alarms, so there were certain operational risks in implementing this idea.
At half past one, Li Yisheng knocked gently on the door, "Wu Tong, it's time to leave for the venue."
By two o'clock, Hall 1 was packed. Almost all the mathematicians who had attended the opening ceremony that day were present. The front row was packed with top mathematicians, many of whom were experts.
Oh, you are here too. Everyone exchanged a knowing look.
After a brief opening ceremony on stage, Wu Tong, led by the guide, walked out from the backstage with firm steps. The hem of her skirt, which was painted in a gradient of ink and blue, fluttered gently with her steps.
She stood in the center of the stage and looked down. The three to four thousand attendees were clearly visible to her. Everywhere she looked were familiar or unfamiliar faces. The stage was almost overcrowded.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, nodded gently to the audience, and then spoke.
"I'm the presenter, Wu Tong, from China!"
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my presentation. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the invitation. Since I didn't have much to show for myself, I decided to give my newly proposed Polignac conjecture a try. I'm grateful to the organizing committee for their trust in me and for giving me the time to present it here and discuss it with you all."
She delivered her rehearsed opening speech calmly and methodically, demonstrating that from the moment she stepped onto this international stage, she represented more than just herself. Of course, she wasn't stage-frightened either; her solid credentials and extensive knowledge base provided her with confidence.
Wu Tong flicked the laser pointer in her hand, displaying the first page of her report to the crowd. On the giant screen, the magnified subject appeared: a new method of group proof and the proof of the Polignac conjecture.
"Before I tell you about my proof of the Polignac conjecture, I would like to first explain the tool I used to overcome the Polignac conjecture: the infinite group proof method."
"Among integers greater than 1, numbers that are divisible only by 1 and the number itself are called prime numbers. Two thousand years ago, our ancestor, Euclid, proved that there are infinite prime numbers... From Zelberg's introduction of topological principles to supplement the sieve method, I found a direction..."
Wu Tong's opening was not difficult to understand. Some students or ordinary scholars who followed the teacher to learn from him could not help but wonder,
That's it? That alone proves the Polignac conjecture. It feels like they can do it too!
However, as Wu Tong's explanation became more and more in-depth, starting with this group of students, some of them gradually couldn't keep up with the pace of Wu Tong's thinking. If they didn't understand one step, it meant that they all got carsick. Those who were a little disdainful at the beginning now all started to ask, "Who am I? Where am I? What is said above?"
Such superficiality naturally has nothing to do with the big guys in the front row. When the content turns to the in-depth part, it is the part that interests them most.
Andrew Wiles tilted his head and smiled at Terence Tao, saying, "Zellberg, who first proposed the topological sieve method, probably didn't expect that the sieve method could be used in this way! I remember that he seemed to want to use it to give future generations some clues about the Goldbach conjecture."
"Please include me here. This is something I didn't expect. It seems that the potential of the screening method still has room for further exploration. It is not the end as many people think!" Tao Zhexuan nodded and whispered. This part of Wu Tong's research gave him some inspiration for the current project he is working on.
"This kind of logic seems to be applicable to my L-function logic!" Deligne rested his elbow on his hand. "I think Langlands would be very interested!"
····
"Wu Tong's foot stepped firmly, and I knew that Wu Tong could do it!" Zhou Wenping relaxed his nervousness. Before Wu Tong went on stage, he was a little worried that Wu Tong would be too nervous since it was the first time for him to step onto such a stage.
"The young are formidable!" He, a senior from the previous generation, was instantly crushed by the dazzling performance of this junior. His decision was right; he could still do research in China. The moon abroad is not brighter than the moon in China. This junior's achievements are the best proof!
“… Therefore, we can be certain that for every natural number k, there exist infinitely many prime pairs (p, p + 2k)!”
As Wu Tong delivered his last argument, the audience burst into warm applause. When the applause gradually died down, Wu Tong faced the audience and continued with the last step of the report, answering questions and resolving doubts.
"Next, everyone can ask any questions you have."
"Professor Wu Tong, page 56, line 7, why do you introduce Wilson's theorem and go directly to n=...?" The person who stood up was a Western scholar in his thirties, who used the word "professor" as a respectful title.
"I'm not a professor yet. You can call me Wu Tong, or Researcher Wu!" Wu Tong explained the title issue. She remembered that she was also a researcher at the Peking University Mathematics Center, which could also be used as a title.
"This idea comes from Goldbach, based on the Fermat sequence Fn=···1, n=0, 1, 2, 3····. To prove the infinity of prime numbers, I proved that any two Fermat numbers are coprime, that is, no integer greater than 1 can divide both Fermat numbers at the same time. To achieve this goal, we want to verify the iterative expression·····"
"Wu, page 37, line 3..."
One after another, some people, including the big guys in the front row, raised more profound questions. However, they all got satisfactory results from Wu Tong's answers, and no one continued to ask questions.
