Lin Chen and Chen Cheng arrived in the United States five days ahead of schedule.

Although there are still 4 days until the opening of the Mathematicians' Congress.

But that doesn't mean they'll be idle afterward.

In fact, the National Congress of Mathematicians was held for only one day.

But a week before the event, mathematicians and students from all over the world had already begun arriving at Penn.

Although the Congress of Mathematicians lasts only one day, it actually begins before the Congress officially opens.

Before the official opening day, many mathematicians take the opportunity of this grand event to give their own lectures, report or announce their discoveries in the field of mathematics.

Lin Chen and his group arrived in the United States early so that they could take this opportunity to observe the research of others.

However, such observation is more like panning for gold in a sea of ​​excrement.

Because all you need to do is apply for a meeting venue to hold a personal speech, there are no other restrictions.

Many amateur mathematicians will also be present to announce their major discoveries.

For example, Lin Chen obtained a flyer on campus, which was a lecture announcement from an Indian scholar who claimed to have proven the Riemann Hypothesis!

Upon seeing the news, Lin Chen was also shocked, thinking it was true.

When he told Chen Cheng about it, he learned that the Indian scholar was actually a pseudo-scientist.

He doesn't even have a proper mathematics degree.

Furthermore, this wasn't the first time his lectures had been held; he had appeared at numerous international mathematics conferences before.

As for his claim that he used ancient Indian mathematical methods to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, that is utter nonsense.

Apart from a few minor figures, the serious mathematical experts didn't take it seriously.

However, besides these amateur scientists, there are still quite a few studies that Lin Chen can appreciate in detail.

To Lin Chen's surprise, the beautiful woman Alexandra, whom he had met by chance, was one of them.

Her research focuses on using topological methods to study partial differential equations.

After seeing her speech poster, Lin Chen and Chen Cheng made a special trip to listen to her presentation.

As a result, even Chen Cheng had to admit that this beautiful woman was indeed very talented.

Her research and understanding of mathematics far surpasses the level of graduate students in the Mathematics Department of Longke University, except for Lin Chen.

After the report, Alexandra treated Lin Chen and Chen Cheng to dinner to express her gratitude.

She herself said that some of the content of today's report was inspired by her previous conversation with Lin Chen.

During the meal, seeing that the two seemed to be doing well, Chen Cheng temporarily lowered his guard and spoke to the husky in a much more friendly tone.

However, right after dinner, Lin Chen received a notification from the organizing committee.

He was invited to prepare a report before the official opening of the Congress of Mathematicians.

The theme of the conference was Lin Chen's proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

"Mr. Lin Chen, what do you think of this schedule? Does it need to be adjusted?"

After the notification was completed, the staff member who delivered the letter asked one more question.

"No problem, it's settled then."

The inevitable had finally arrived, and Lin Chen readily agreed.

Chen Cheng, standing to the side, kept giving him meaningful glances, but Lin Chen completely ignored them.

Only after the staff left did he ask with a serious expression, "Why didn't you ask them to adjust the time? There are only two days left. Have you thought about your speech? People will definitely ask you some questions!"

"It's alright, I'll just use my graduation thesis. Consider it an early defense," Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

He knew, of course, that this meeting, ostensibly a report, was actually a sneak attack that Cheng Zitong was preparing to launch against him.

But he had already prepared his trump card; we'll see who comes out on top in time!

Two days later, Penn.

Although the International Congress of Mathematicians will not begin until tomorrow.

But today, the number of people on the Penn campus suddenly reached its peak.

Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people getting off buses.

Their destination was in the same direction: a conference hall on the University of Pennsylvania campus.

There is no other reason.

The organizing committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians announced two days in advance that today, a lecture on the topic of "Goldbach's Conjecture" will be given here by Lin Chen, a young scholar from China.

He personally reported to the Western academic community on his research on the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.

Although Lin Chen's equation for proving Goldbach's conjecture had already spread all over the world via the internet.

However, the verification and confirmation of Lin Chen's proven equation is still in progress.

Universities around the world are verifying Lin Chen's method of proof.

It's not that these people can't accept that Goldbach's conjecture has been proven by a Chinese person.

Generally speaking, proving a conjecture is a lengthy process.

Every step in proving an equation needs to be carefully checked and confirmed. Only after most people have confirmed that it is correct can it be generally believed that the conjecture has indeed been proven.

Therefore, Lin Chen's report meeting attracted the attention of many scholars who were studying his proof process from the very beginning.

Many people came to Penn with their own questions, hoping that Lin Chen could answer the questions they had about the proof process in person.

This report also attracted the attention of many people outside academia, especially Chinese university students in the United States, who came in groups to cheer for Lin Chen.

After all, setting aside this conference, news has already spread that Lin Chen may win the Fields Medal at this mathematics conference.

This is likely the first Fields Medal winner who is not of Chinese descent and holds Chinese citizenship.

No one wants to miss such an opportunity to witness history.

This has led to today's presentation receiving far more attention than tomorrow's mathematics conference.

As the audience entered the venue one after another, Lin Chen was also ready outside the venue.

It's 8:50, ten minutes before the 9:00 report meeting.

But the lecture hall was already packed.

To the surprise of many, many famous figures in the mathematics world were seated in the front row.

It includes Cheng Zitong, Terence Tao, and several well-known professors from the United States.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the entire Fields Medal judging committee was present!

Immediately, many people were discussing it, feeling that they had vaguely guessed the truth behind this report meeting.

It's very likely that the winners of tomorrow's Fields Medal will be decided by this presentation!

Otherwise, why would all the judges be present?

Chen Cheng and Alexandra sat together in the back row of the venue.

Since listening to her presentation, Chen Cheng has changed his opinion of her and now considers her a beautiful and knowledgeable woman.

If I weren't twenty years younger, I would definitely fall for her.

Seeing Alexandra's nervous expression, he reassured her, "Don't worry, that brat is very confident, he'll definitely be fine."

Alexandra turned her head: "Really? Professor Chen, judging from your tone, it seems like you and Lin Chen have known each other for a long time? But isn't he only a freshman?"

"Of course, I've known that brat since he was a baby."

Men always have a strong desire to show off in front of beautiful women, and Chen Cheng was no exception. He smiled and told Lin Chen everything about his relationship with Lin Chen.

But he didn't know that everything he said was transmitted to the distant city of Langley by an earring on Alexandra's ear.

A group of seasoned psychoanalysts have begun revising their analysis of Lin Chen's personality based on Chen Cheng's descriptions, in order to formulate their next course of action...
