Chapter 14 Genius

"I'm here for an interview. I want to interview Teacher Li Mo from your school." Wei Xiaonian asked directly. He was eager to meet the teacher who proved Koraz's conjecture.

"Teacher Li Mo?" Jiao Xuefeng was very unfamiliar with this name. He didn't remember this teacher in the school. But it was normal. There were many new teachers in the school every year, and not every teacher he knew.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the dean of academic affairs to contact you." He picked up the phone, paused and said, "Why are you interviewing Teacher Li Mo? May I know?"

"Do you know the Coraz conjecture?" An unfamiliar word popped out of the young reporter's mouth.

"Coraz's conjecture?, I don't know, I'm from a liberal arts background."

"Does Teacher Li Mo have anything to do with this conjecture?" Jiao Xuefeng asked with a frown.

"The Kauratz conjecture is a difficult mathematical problem. It was proposed in 1927. In 1930, Kauratz at the University of Hamburg in Germany studied this conjecture, hence the name." Wei Xiaonian was surprised that the principal of the high school in front of him didn't

Know the Coraz conjecture.

"Teacher Li Mo proved it for him." He added.

"Teacher Li Mo solved a difficult problem, so why do you want to interview him?" Jiao Xuefeng didn't understand the young reporter's thinking.

"Isn't it a simple problem?" Wei Xiaonian was very dissatisfied with Jiao Xuefeng's use of a question to define the Coraz conjecture.

"It is a difficult problem that countless Chinese and foreign mathematicians have not solved in the past hundred years."

"Goldbach's conjecture, you must know that they are all unsolved mathematical problems in the world."

Although the Coraz conjecture cannot be ranked at the same level as Goldbach's conjecture, it does belong to the world's unsolved problems. Wei Xiaonian is not wrong to say this in order to improve its status.

"Goldbach's Conjecture" Jiao Xuefeng was shocked and sat up from the sofa. Although he studied liberal arts, he still knew the story of Chen Jingrun and Goldbach's conjecture.

"A teacher from our Mengcheng No.1 High School actually solved the "Goldbach Conjecture."" Jiao Xuefeng couldn't sit still. This was a major event for Mengcheng No.1 High School. As the principal, he didn't know about it, which was too derelict of duty.

He thought that he must find this teacher Li Mo immediately.

He led Wei Xiaonian to the office of the dean of academic affairs. Before the dean of academic affairs could speak, Jiao Xuefeng asked eagerly: "Let Teacher Li Mo come here."

"Teacher Li Mo?" The academic director's chubby face looked a little dull.

"Yes, Teacher Li Mo, call him and ask him to come here immediately." Jiao Xuefeng's tone increased. He was not satisfied with the performance of the academic director.

"There is no teacher named Li Mo in our school," the dean of academic affairs saw Principal Jiao being angry and came to his senses. He immediately explained.

"Are you sure?" Jiao Xuefeng's heart dropped. How could there be no teacher in the school who could solve "Goldbach"? There must be no such teacher.

"I'm sure, the names of all the teachers in the school are imprinted on my mind," the dean said, pointing his fat finger at his fat brain, as if his head was a computer.

Jiao Xuefeng turned his suspicious eyes to reporter Wei Xiaonian.

"Impossible!" Wei Xiaonian took out a copy of the thesis he carried with him, pointed to the cover and said, "Look, it clearly says Li Mo, Class 1, Grade 3, Senior High School."

"But I didn't say it was teacher Li Mo. Couldn't it be Li Mo, a student from Grade 1 and Grade 3?" Jiao Xuefeng seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. Mengcheng No. 1 High School cannot live without Li Mo.

"This paper written by a student is impossible!" Wei Xiaonian rolled his eyes at the unprofessional principal. The logic of this paper is clear, the deconstruction is rigorous and concise, and there is not a single superfluous word. If he hadn't been immersed in the field of mathematics for more than ten years,

It is simply impossible to write such a high-level paper.

"Can't you just ask the head teacher of the Grade 1 and Grade 3 students to find out? Last semester's Grade 1 and Grade 3 classes, this period should be Grade 2 and Grade 3 classes." The academic director next to him saw the two arguing and came up with an idea. He looked at it

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, he said: "School just started today, although school is over now. The school teachers should still be in the office, let's go now."

In the head teacher's office, Li Mo stood in front of Teacher Wang with his head lowered. On his desk was his empty exercise book. He has already had experience in being trained. When the teacher trains you,

, you just need to think of it as a song, the teacher is singing, you show an intoxicated expression, and then nod frequently, the teachers will soon lose the desire to teach you.

Teacher Wang didn't know whether he said he was tired or was conquered by Li Mo's "performance". He just sat at his desk, drank tea one sip at a time, and ignored him.

"Tsk tsk, it means that there are talented people in the second and third classes of high school. I haven't done any homework during the summer vacation. I am worthy of being a student in the second and third classes of high school." A middle-aged woman at the next table who put on makeup and powder said disdainfully.

"Teacher Gu, I am educating my own students. Please don't interrupt, thank you." Teacher Wang said angrily. It seems that he still protects his students. Only he can criticize his students.

"It is impolite to interrupt others when they are talking," he added.

............

"This is the teachers' office. Principal, comrade reporters, please come in." The dean of academic affairs asked the two of them into the office.

"Director...Director Gu...Principal, why are you here?" The sharp-eyed teacher Gu hurriedly greeted him.

The dean of academic affairs ignored her and went straight to Teacher Wang's desk. He asked: "Teacher Wang, is there a student named Li Mo in your class?"

"Li Mo... Yes, there is a student named Li Mo in our class. What happened?" Teacher Wang replied again and again, glancing at Li Mo who had his head lowered.

"Great, please invite Li Mo. I have something to ask him." Principal Jiao suddenly became excited.

"Oh...this is Li Mo." Teacher Wang pointed at Li Mo next to him. Seeing the principal's happy look, it wasn't a bad thing after all.

"Are you Li Mo? Li Mo from Class 2 and 3 of high school?"

"Did you submit a manuscript to the "Mathematical Monthly" called "On "For each positive integer, if it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, if it is an even number, divide it by

2. Such a cycle will eventually lead to 1. "The conclusion is established.". Before the principal could cross-examine, Wei Xiaonian rushed forward and asked.

Wei Xiaonian's firecracker-like speaking speed and unfamiliar mathematical terms confused everyone around him.

"Yes, I submitted a manuscript to Mathematics Monthly a few days ago, but I haven't received the sample yet." Li Mo came to his senses and thought that the paper had been published.

"It's really you?" Wei Xiaonian showed an expression of disbelief.

"It should...it's really me." Is this still pretending? Li Mo didn't understand the exaggerated expression of the man in cycling clothes in front of him.

"In the paper, n(n1)/2 is an odd number, and ×2×112nn1n(n1)/21 is an even number. What follows after dividing by 22n1(n1)/4?" Wei Xiaonian has studied the paper in depth, and he thinks this is the key to the paper.

Essence.

"Continue with the two situations, if it is an even number, if it is an odd number, if it is an even number, cycle 1, 2, (anyway, the number is decreasing when it is an even number), until 2n1(n1)/4 is an odd number. Transform to n(n1)(n1)

/4, because: n is an odd number, n1 is an even number, and only (n1)/4 is an even number, and nn1(n1)/4 can be an odd number." Li Mo replied without thinking, "Do you want to continue?

There’s more to come.”

"It's really you!" Wei Xiaonian was so excited that he couldn't speak. "No, I have to call the editor first to tell the editor that I found Li Mo." After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and walked out, leaving behind

Several people looked at each other.

"Have you solved the Coraz conjecture?" Teacher Wang could fit a duck egg in his mouth, and he understood what the reporter said.

"That's right. I proved the problem, then wrote a paper and sent it to Mathematics Monthly." Li Mo said calmly, he now knew that these people came here for that paper.
