Chapter 620 Comes From All over the World

In mid-May, the atmosphere in Jinling was somewhat unusual.

As the date of the symposium drew closer, scholars from all over the world arrived in this city by plane one after another. This metropolis, which has little presence in the international academic circle, has become more and more academic.

After learning about the situation from Jinda University, both the hotel that provided the accommodation and the city government of Jinling City paid considerable attention to it. From cleaning up small advertisements to coordinating transportation, many things that the university could not do, the city government gave the green light to complete.

After all, this kind of world-class academic report meeting with more than a thousand scholars and attracting the attention of the physics and mathematics circles at the same time may not be met once even if it is held internationally in a few years. Being able to undertake such a report meeting is not only an honor for the school, but also an opportunity for Jinling City to show its image to the international community.

At a young age, it's about face, and at an older age, it's also about political achievements, so there's no room for sloppyness.

The entrance of the Intercontinental Hotel.

An old man wearing a black coat and carrying a suitcase walked up the steps, stood at the door of the hotel and glanced at his watch. It was at this time that a man in a gray suit walked towards him from the elevator in the hotel lobby.

Looking at the man who came out of the hotel, Faltins raised his eyebrows and said in an unexpected tone.

"I didn't expect you to be here before me."

Klitzing said with a smile: "You are too slow, I got here two days ago."

Faltings: "Have you seen him?"

"Well, I visited him at Jinling University yesterday, and it seems that he has been doing well recently. Later, he took me to visit his Institute for Advanced Study, as well as some interesting attractions nearby," paused, Klitzing joked, "So it's good to come early."

Faltings said without any change in expression: "You know, I don't care about these."

Klitzing shrugged and said, "I know what you are concerned about. In fact, I am also very concerned about this issue. But anyway, the report meeting will start tomorrow, why not wait until tomorrow to consider these troublesome things? "

Seemingly thinking that what he said made sense, Faltins said nothing more, carrying the suitcase with Klitzing, and walked to the elevator in the lobby.

During the three days during the conference, the entire hotel has been booked out, and the residents are scholars from the fields of mathematics and theoretical physics from all over the world.

On the way to the hotel room, people kept greeting him frequently, and Faltins, who nodded in response, was also secretly surprised. Especially when he saw Professor Sarnak from Princeton and Wiles from Oxford University, he was even more surprised.

"...I didn't expect to see so many old friends here."

"After all, this question has troubled the mathematics and physics circles for a long time," Klitzing said with a smile, "we all want to know an answer."

Faltings: "That's not what I want to say."

Ke Liqing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with great interest.

"Oh?"

"Mathematics is getting younger."

After a pause, Faltings continued as if talking to himself.

"It's a good thing."

...

The day the report starts.

In the auditorium of the old campus of Jinling University, dark figures and whispering discussions merged into one.

The brim of the black hat covered the light on his forehead. Professor Deligne, who was wearing a black coat, walked to the third row of the venue and sat next to Edward Witten.

"Aren't you giving a report at CERN? Why do you have time to come here on the other side of the Pacific Ocean?"

"I came here because I heard that there was a very interesting report meeting here," Witten said with a smile when he heard the slightly teasing question from his old friend, "not to mention that he was still discussing with me a few days ago. Professor Wilczek of the Essence of the Universe suddenly put down his work and insisted on coming here. Even if I stay in Switzerland alone, it’s meaningless, I might as well come out for a walk. Speaking of you?”

"After all, he is my student..." Noticing the surprise on Witten's face, Deligne frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Witten coughed dryly, smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's nothing, but I almost forgot, Professor Lu is studying algebraic geometry."

Deligne: "..."

It was not just the scholars who sat in the lecture hall, but also the receptionists who walked on both sides of the auditorium, who were responsible for maintaining the order of the report meeting, and the teachers who were in charge of the logistics. They have not stopped since 6:00 am. Pass.

Any great work is done by a group of people in obscurity behind the scenes.

In order to do a good job in the logistical work of the meeting, and to prevent the old friends of Yanda from seeing the joke, President Xu personally came to the scene to direct and supervise the work of the logistical staff. Dean Qin, who was busy following the principal, was even more nervous at the moment.

Although he wasn't the one to speak at the upcoming report, but at the moment his palms were still sweating uncontrollably.

This is the first time that Jindashu Institute stands on this international stage, and it is also the first time that it truly goes global.

It can be said that this report is not only related to the future of the number of colleges, but also related to the future of Jinling University...

There is only half an hour left before the start of the report meeting.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of people in the auditorium, Lu Zhou, who was sitting in the lounge next door, was still sitting quietly at the table at this moment, figuring something on a piece of draft paper that had been repeatedly altered.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the door.

With a light knock on the door, Lin Yuxiang, who was dressed in welcoming clothes, walked in and reminded.

"Professor, we are about to start."

The ballpoint pen on his fingertips circled his thumb twice. Lu Zhou raised his head, looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and thought for a moment, then stood up.

"Well, I see."

Looking at Lu Zhou who got up and walked towards the hanger, Lin Yuxiang's mouth curved and said, "Do you need me to help you tie your tie?"

"That's not necessary."

Lin Yuxiang sighed with regret.

Although I expected him to say that, the way of refusing was really not euphemistic at all...

Picking up the suit hanging on the hanger and putting it on, Lu Zhou walked to the mirror to check his appearance.

After confirming that he was still as handsome as ever, he tightened the tie on his chest, and then walked towards the door.

Standing by the door, looking at Lu Zhou who came out of the lounge, Han Mengqi whispered nervously.

"Master... come on!"

"Well," Lu Zhou nodded, his expression normal, "That's a must."
