Chapter 123: Successfully Proposing a New Mathematical Conjecture (Part 3/3)

He was very clear about what a chat app meant to the internet industry!

If he could design a more user-friendly chat app, it could definitely replace QQ!

Then, all internet users in the country would use the chat app he developed!

He was confident in creating the greatest internet company in China!

After playing on the computer for a while, he went to bed.

In the morning, after breakfast with Su Xiaoli, he went straight to the villa.

This routine continued for three days.

Finally, he proposed a new mathematical conjecture!

At the same time, he also received the system’s reward!

A total of 20,000 points!

He immediately opened the system’s point mall and redeemed the secret manuals he needed.

A massive amount of information flooded into his brain, almost causing him to pass out.

Fortunately, he was prepared and managed to endure it.

He put away the manuscript and then went to the mathematics department’s teaching building.

Gao Mingzhou was discussing with Lin Zhiyuan about which papers to publish in the new issue of the journal.

Seeing Tang Feng come in, the two stopped their discussion.

“Professor Gao! Professor Lin!” Tang Feng greeted them as he approached.

“Tang Feng, what have you been busy with recently? It feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you,” Gao Mingzhou asked with a smile.

“I’ve mostly been staying at home. I’ve come here this time to bring you this,” Tang Feng said, placing the manuscript in front of them.

The original manuscript was over a hundred pages long, but Tang Feng had condensed it to two pages.

After all, it was a mathematical conjecture, not a proof process.

The more concise, the better.

Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan looked at it together.

“Tang Feng, have you proposed a new mathematical conjecture?” Gao Mingzhou asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded. “I’ve solved so many mathematical problems; it’s time to propose a new conjecture.”

“I just looked at it, and your conjecture is very challenging! We definitely can’t solve it! What’s the name of your conjecture?” Gao Mingzhou asked with interest.

“I haven’t decided yet,” Tang Feng replied.

“Since you’re the one who proposed it, I think calling it the ‘Tang Feng Conjecture’ would be appropriate,” Gao Mingzhou suggested.

“Like the Riemann Hypothesis?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Gao Mingzhou nodded. “This way, it will be easier for future mathematicians to know who proposed the conjecture.”

“I want to publish this paper in ‘Mathematics Monthly’,” Tang Feng stated.

“Really? That’s fantastic! We were just worrying about not having any significant papers for this issue’s publication,” Gao Mingzhou was very pleased.

“I hope someone can prove this conjecture,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“It’s unlikely in the short term. After all, many mathematical conjectures have taken decades or even centuries to solve. To be honest, it’s only because of your arrival that these six world-class mathematical problems were solved. If you hadn’t appeared, these problems might not have been solved for decades more,” Gao Mingzhou sighed.

“These world-class mathematical problems are indeed quite tricky. It took me a lot of effort to solve them,” Tang Feng said.

Gao Mingzhou and Lin Zhiyuan exchanged glances.

Few people knew better than them how terrifying Tang Feng’s mathematical abilities were.

Just a month into the semester, and all six world-class mathematical problems had been solved!

And he calls that a lot of effort?

They didn’t have the heart to burst Tang Feng’s bubble.

That was too humble bragging!

“Have the candidates for the second round of the selection been chosen? I might not be available next Monday,” Tang Feng said, changing the subject.

“What will you be doing?” Gao Mingzhou asked with interest.

“I might go to the national basketball team. Yao Ming is planning to come back from America, and I need to meet him,” Tang Feng replied.

“You’re really busy! Are you going to join Yao Ming and the others in the World Championship?” Gao Mingzhou guessed.

“Yes,” Tang Feng nodded. “I hope we can win the championship.”

“Tang Feng, if you encounter the team from Japan, make sure to beat them hard! In the last World Championship, the Chinese men’s basketball team lost to them and missed the top four,” Lin Zhiyuan instructed.

“Really? I don’t pay much attention to basketball usually. But if that’s the case, once we’re on the court and encounter the team from Japan, I’ll give it my all,” Tang Feng promised.

“Try to make sure they don’t score a point! After they beat us last time, you should have seen how arrogant they were! If we lose to them again, I’m afraid the fans might explode with anger,” Lin Zhiyuan said emotionally.

“Professor Lin, don’t worry! I’ll definitely try to send them home with a zero score,” Tang Feng assured.

“A zero score is impossible! The team from Japan is very strong! Just beating them would be a great achievement,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“You’ll see when the time comes. Professor Gao, just select the top twenty after the second round,” Tang Feng said.

“Where will the mathematics research group be located? Directly in our mathematics department?” Gao Mingzhou asked.

“Let’s not worry about that for now. We’ll discuss it after the second round,” Tang Feng said.

“Alright,” Gao Mingzhou nodded.

“I’ll leave the manuscript here. I have something else to do, so I’ll take my leave,” Tang Feng said and left.

“Professor Gao, it’s unbelievable how high Tang Feng’s mathematical level is. To propose a new conjecture in such a short time. This news, once it gets out, will definitely shock those mathematicians in America!” Lin Zhiyuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

“I heard that America has also started testing to establish a new mathematics research group. They’re clearly setting up for competition in the field of mathematics,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Previously, America dominated alone, and many of our trained talents went to study there and stayed. Thank God for China, for having Tang Feng, a mathematical genius, to compete with America on his own! It seems the competition between us and America will become even more intense from now on,” Lin Zhiyuan said excitedly.

“We also need to work hard to improve our own mathematical skills and contribute to this competition,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Yes,” Lin Zhiyuan nodded.
