Chapter 191: Grind to the End, and You

Xu Xu Qingzhou left the School of Mathematics, originally planning to return to his dorm, but remembered his keys were still in his bag, so he asked in the group if anyone was around.

Kong Kong Xianbo: "Library."

Zhai Zhai Ziqiang: "Brother Zhou, I'm at the library too."

Xu Xu Qingzhou whistled—these two must've been shattered; they're even more obsessed than before.

At the library, after sending his message, Kong Kong Xianbo exhaled deeply—Old Xu's back again, damn, the pressure is crushing; one man alone suppresses ten thousand ages.

Don't lose heart, don't lose heart.

His gaze fell on the math materials before him—he told himself he was improving visibly, and catching up to Old Xu? Just a matter of time, right?

Remember this: when you grind to the end, everything you need will be there!

At that moment, three people entered: Dean Tao, Professor Gu Zhi, and Professor Gu's student Su Su Kewei.

Read!

Xu Xu Shouyun blinked, then nodded: "It really is too fast—it's just—"

Wang Wang Nushi ignored Xu Xu Qingzhou's whining and said: "Enough, your father and I are going to work. You should rest early."

"That's right—it's this young man… sigh~ We're old now."

Seeing no one in the dorm, he decided to head back to the neighborhood first, and on the way received a call from Wang Wang Nushi.

Meanwhile, far away, Liang Quanjie put down his pen, stretched his wrist, and glanced toward Xianbo's direction.

Er Miao lay on her mat, looked up at Xu Xu Qingzhou, wondering what this two-legged beast was doing; seeing he seemed busy, she licked her paw and closed her eyes to nap.

Huh~ Playing with his phone?

"Dean Tao called—said it's urgent. I haven't finished my calculations yet."

Professor Feng: "…"

Though his belongings hadn't been moved in yet, the bedroom was already taking shape—the sheets and pillowcases were all newly bought by Song Yao. After tidying up, Xu Xu Qingzhou carried his laptop to the living room, turned it on, and prepared to write some of his paper.

After sitting down, Dean Tao got straight to the point: "Let's cut to the chase. This is Xu Xu Qingzhou's paper proving the Twin Prime Conjecture. We've gathered everyone here to examine and validate it."

Seeing Xu Xu Zhengyang hadn't replied, Kong Kong Xianbo typed: "Last night the Hawk Society had dinner—we drank a lot. He's probably still passed out."

He smiled: "If Xu Xu Qingzhou's proof is correct… the significance of this paper to number theory needs no explanation from me, does it?"

Professor Feng rubbed his hands, eager: "Dean Tao, let's get started."

【In the experimental preparation of squeezed light, when a nonlinear medium uses an anisotropic crystal, spatial walk-off occurs due to birefringence, reducing parametric down-conversion efficiency and adversely affecting squeezing generation.】

Showing off in every possible way.

He walked into the bedroom and tidied up briefly.

Seeing the same expression on his old friend's face as he himself had worn an hour earlier, Academician Wang felt his frustration ease considerably—Old Gu was such a jerk; what's so special about having a decent student?

Academician Wang chuckled: "It's nothing much—just validating the latest proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture."

!.

Thinking of the British old man's bewildered expression after his joke, he couldn't help laughing.

Xu Xu Qingzhou's fingers tapped the keyboard, continuing to write the theoretical section.

Su Su Kewei's emotions were complicated—he'd once planned to show off in front of this junior, but now, as a doctoral student himself, he too felt the despair of being crushed.

Liang Quanjie, ranked second in his year, had already encountered this guy twice in the library within a week—he was grinding too, reportedly arriving at the library by 6 a. m.

"Sss~ It's that young man again!"

"That brat"

Xu Xu Shouyun choked out: "It's just too fast." After psyching himself up, Kong Kong Xianbo looked again at the distant figure.

Bullying Song Yao? Who's bullying whom! Xu Xu Qingzhou felt wronged.

"Alright, then our validation team is officially formed."

"I think this pace is fine."

Academician Wang Lin smiled and greeted the old man entering: "Old Feng."

Time for the overtaking maneuver! First take down Kong Kong Xianbo, then kick Xu Xu Qingzhou… He took a deep breath, fired up, picked up his pen again, and plunged into the math materials before him.

"Busy, but Professor Gu called and insisted I come over."

Squeak~ The door to Room 505 opened.

Professor Feng sighed: "What's so important that even you, old man, came? Last time you didn't even show up for the conference."

Wang Wang Xiaping didn't think so: "Look at Old Zhang's kid—he wasn't allowed to date in college, and now, years after graduation, he's still single."

"Fine." Xu Xu Qingzhou nodded helplessly—his family status had plummeted.

Yandong Garden. Xu Xu Qingzhou wasn't planning to sleep yet—his biological clock was messed up; he was unusually alert at this hour.

Academician Feng shook his head: "No, I've been working on the representation problem of integers in additive number theory—ran into some headaches, haven't had time to read the conference report yet."

Wang Wang Xiaping hung up with a smile—first a world-class problem, then a physics experiment, last time she'd heard he was going to the UK for exchange—well, none of that mattered. The real thing was: he and Xiao Yao were moving in together! "Old Xu, isn't happiness coming too fast?" Wang Wang Xiaping mused.

Wutong Community.

"What exactly?"

Xu Xu Qingzhou: "Where's Old Xu?"

But if I had a student like this, I'd be even more smug than Old Gu.

Professor Feng sighed, turned to Academician Wang, and asked: "Old Wang, aren't you busy with your institute project? How come you're here sipping tea? Not busy?"

Just then, Kong Kong Xianbo's attention was drawn again by the group messages.

Two Q1 SCI papers: the first is theoretical, "The Impact of Spatial Walk-off on the Squeezing Characteristics of Quantum Optical Frequency Combs"—partially completed, but many data points still require experimental results.

"Don't worry—I'd never bully her." Xu Xu Qingzhou poked Er Miao's head; under her disgusted gaze, he changed shoes while walking toward the living room: "Mom, I'm seriously starting to doubt if you two picked me up on the roadside."

This is another opponent besides Old Xu—must be guarded against.

Opposite, Professor Feng took a moment to react, then asked: "The Twin Prime Conjecture… You're not joking, are you?"

Meanwhile, in the Mathematics Department conference room at Jingda.

Inside the suitcase, besides clothes and materials, were three chocolates.

Su Su Kewei held a stack of documents; on the cover was a bold line: "Study on the Distribution Pattern of Prime Numbers and Proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture."

Academician Wang smiled: "Didn't you see the news from Jianqiao?"

"Your Jingda student Xu Xu Qingzhou left a cliffhanger at the seminar—he claimed he was about to prove the Twin Prime Conjecture." Academician Wang's expression was awed: "Didn't expect results this fast."

He'd bought them that night at the Jianqiao gift shop—one box for the three foster sons in the dorm, no favoritism; one box for Song Yao's dorm; the last one kept for himself and his wife.

Dean Tao nodded with a smile—he knew how irresistible the Twin Prime Conjecture was to these people—and signaled Su Su Kewei to distribute the paper.

Academician Wang put on his reading glasses and fixed his gaze on the paper in hand.

【Study on the Distribution Pattern of Prime Numbers and Proof of the Twin Prime Conjecture】

【Abstract: This paper innovatively improves the sieve method by thoroughly analyzing the generation mechanism and distribution characteristics of twin primes.】
