"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 promised. Even if it was overdue, 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 were slight deviations, with timely corrections, they would still be able to reach the other side of success.
If we were to ask who is most likely to prove the Goldbach conjecture within this century, he thought, or perhaps everyone in the world should have a guess, it would be Wu Tong.
"What?" Andrew Wiles stared at the computer screen in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief, and the latest content of Arxiv popped up.
Refreshing Arxiv daily to follow new developments in mathematics is his hobby. This allows him to keep up to date with the latest achievements of his peers in the industry.
Perhaps other scholars and professors would hand this task over to their students, but Andrew still felt that he would rather browse and check it himself. This was one of the ways she 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 had 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 were anyone 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 results 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, while studying the Goldbach conjecture, had entered a unique, Eastern-style research mode known as seclusion, which involves refraining from contact with the outside world and focusing solely on research. For this reason, she even had the three major awards she received last year accepted on her behalf by a faculty member at the school, and she did not attend the awards ceremony.
He believed that Wu Tong's pursuit was typical of genius, and that any mathematician studying number theory couldn't resist the allure of the Goldbach conjecture, following in the footsteps of their predecessors. He had every confidence in Wu Tong and was impressed by his academic prowess. He had no doubt that Wu Tong would achieve significant results in the Goldbach conjecture.
Just like, Wu Tong had a wide range of interests before. In the NS equation, he also took on the challenge of solving the limit of nonlinear equations, explained it in another way, and opened 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 hadn't even been two weeks, and it had already been proven. This news left Zhou Wenping a bit stunned, overwhelmed with joy and excitement. Andrew could see it there firsthand. Zhou Wenping used his last bit of sanity to determine that it was the preprint site Arxiv.
He hurriedly opened Arxiv.
"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 earth-shaking news. As people who follow Wu Tong or Arxiv discovered this paper, they were all shocked and couldn't believe it, and the impact continued to spread and ferment.
Two days ago, Wu Tong was writing with increasing energy, pen in hand, as she worked on the final chapter of her research. On her desk lay several thick stacks of manuscripts, the fruits of her labor 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.
Climbing the last step, Wu Tong reached the summit, a panoramic view of the mountains. The feeling was exhilarating and infinitely beautiful. She had proved and conquered the Goldbach conjecture, considered the crown jewel of number theory.
Both the absolute direction and the absolute deduction proved that she had truly achieved it! If mathematics had levels, after six months of accumulation and sedimentation, she felt as if she had suddenly realized something, as if she had reached a new level.
The Enlightenment Stele rippled deep within her sea of consciousness, as if celebrating her. A trickle of warm current flowed from it, bathing her body from head to toe. The energy consumed by her brain's deductions was instantly replenished, and with a slight swelling sensation, she could feel the space in her sea of consciousness double in size.
Wu Tong's physical fitness has also been strengthened and improved. He basically does not get sick and is no longer troubled by his current illness. His vitality has increased and any minor injuries will recover as quickly as possible.
This was the enlightenment stele being replenished once again by Wu Tong's efforts, granting Wu Tong a share. It and Wu Tong were one, 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 few breaks and meals, he hardly stopped. He edited the entire argumentation process into a paper of nearly sixty or seventy pages 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 long, hearty sigh of relief. She had finally completed another project, putting an end to something that had been weighing on her mind for a long time. The completion of this certification also meant that she had begun the countdown to graduation. Graduation was coming!
Although such a major achievement needs to be recognized by the outside world, it will take 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 Union of Mathematicians and transformed into Wu's Theorem.
However, for Wu Tong, these are all incidental.
Most importantly, she had done it, had completed it. The excuse she had used last year was no longer an excuse, but a reality. As for recognition and verification, that would come only with time. She had enough confidence; she had truly succeeded!
After completing this project, she'd been busy from the beginning to the end, barely stopping. Finally, she could declare a temporary leave of absence to go back and spend time with her family. She'd ask if there were any limits to her freedom. If there weren't, she'd book a ticket home immediately!
