Chapter 254 - 260: Giving a Lesson to the Mathematicians
Zhao Yueyue was wearing the girls’ Mathematical Olympiad team uniform today—a beautiful suit with a short red skirt.
Moreover, Zhao Yueyue had specially applied makeup today and put her hair up in a bun.
Originally, Zhao Yueyue thought Ye Chen would praise her.
But to Zhao Yueyue’s disappointment, Ye Chen didn’t seem to notice her at all.
Watching Zhao Yueyue walk out arm-in-arm with Ye Chen, many boys felt very envious.
Although they hadn’t been together for long, many boys already had secret crushes on Zhao Yueyue.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yueyue only revolved around Ye Chen.
The group arrived at the MIT venue.
The award ceremony would be held here.
Inside the venue, many big shots from the world of mathematics had already gathered.
Normally, an award ceremony wouldn’t attract so many big shots.
But this year was special because of a monster like Ye Chen.
Especially since Ye Chen had also solved Goldbachs Conjecture.
Goldbachs Conjecture has always been a high mountain in the field of mathematics.
Countless Mathematicians wanted to conquer it, yet they all failed.
The person who conquered this mountain turned out to be an eighteen-year-old young man from China.
This also shocked the entire world of mathematics.
Many Mathematicians had come to attend the award ceremony specifically for Ye Chen.
In particular, this award ceremony was somewhat different from previous ones.
This time, these math big shots were all holding notebooks and pens.
That feeling was as though this wasn’t an award ceremony, but rather like they were waiting for a teacher to start a lesson.
"George, you were the proctor this time. How did Ye feel to you?" asked a Mathematician who had made a special trip there.
"How should I put it? Ye is the most outstanding genius I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen a young person with such terrifying talent. Did you know? For the final problem of the Mathematical Olympiad, Ye actually used an ancient Babylonian Algorithm to solve it. This kind of talent is simply too frightening."
"Holy crap! Are you serious? Solving modern problems using mathematical concepts from thousands of years ago?"
That mathematics professor was also stunned.
George gave a bitter smile: "That’s the terrifying thing about Ye Chen. Perhaps in the future, he might even surpass that Level 5 Mathematician."
At this moment, the award ceremony finally began.
The lights came on, and the host walked onto the stage.
"Welcome everyone to the International Mathematical Olympiad. The award ceremony now officially begins. First, in third place, Kotov from Russia..."
"Next... oh, I’m sorry, the second-place winner is still in the Hospital, so they cannot attend the ceremony."
At this time, the face of Cabu, the President of the Mathematical Association sitting below the stage, was clearly a bit unsightly.
He was feeling a bit regretful now.
In order to let his son win the championship, he had specifically leaked the questions to him.
He originally thought his son was certain to win this time.
He never expected a monster like Ye Chen to appear.
If he had lost to Ye Chen normally, it might not have mattered.
Knowing the questions and still losing to Ye Chen was too big a blow for Kajo.
Whether he could even recover in the future was now a question.
Finally, the host said excitedly, "Next, let us invite our protagonist, Ye Chen, to the stage."
Ye Chen walked onto the stage.
When they saw Ye Chen, the venue broke into an uproar.
"This young man is really too handsome."
"Usually Mathematicians are the wooden type, right? How does this young man feel so full of spirit?"
"Oh my god, this handsome guy is so dashing. I want to pursue him."
Many math big shots had come this time.
What Ye Chen had to do was conquer them; only then would he truly pass the test in a real sense.
At this time, Cabu, acting as the President of the International Mathematical Association, walked onto the stage.
Although reluctant, as the President of the International Mathematical Association, he still had to present the medal and prize money to this young man who had made his son spit blood.
"Ye, this is the one million dollar prize money."
He handed a check to Ye Chen, then hung a heavy gold medal around Ye Chen’s neck.
"Ye, I think we can exchange contact information. I heard you are interested in the history of mathematics; I happen to major in that field. You can be my student. I can teach you many things, but you would need to come to my place for classes."
To be personally recruited by the President of the International Mathematical Association was a rare opportunity.
This time, even Li Tongming felt a bit nervous.
"No need, thank you."
What no one expected was that Ye Chen actually refused without any hesitation.
Cabu’s expression darkened slightly, but a smile remained on his face.
"Well then, that’s a pity. Good luck, young man."
The award ceremony was just a warm-up; what came next was the main highlight of this event.
The Mathematicians below were already getting a bit impatient. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
This would be a moment to witness history.
The blackboard and projector were already prepared.
Ye Chen would write down the proof process for Goldbachs Conjecture on it.
After the staff finished the preparations, they nodded toward Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn’t waste words and simply began writing the steps to solve the problem on the blackboard.
The steps were also projected onto the screen via the projector.
Ye Chen began writing the verification steps.
As the first line of formulas was written out, everyone was watching.
As the second line of formulas was written out, some people already began to frown.
By the time he reached the sixth line, many Mathematicians already had expressions of shock on their faces.
They lowered their heads and began scribbling notes rapidly.
Almost all the Mathematicians were now watching Ye Chen’s verification process while simultaneously keeping their heads down and scribbling notes.
This scene was truly too bizarre.
It was just like an eighteen-year-old boy giving a lesson to a group of Mathematicians.
"He’s using the Pythagorean Theorem, right?"
"Hmm, this should be the Sieve Method. Why didn’t I think of that?"
After Ye Chen finished writing the first method, he thought for a moment.
This method was the simplest, but it was somewhat difficult; he feared many of the Mathematicians below wouldn’t understand it.
Just as Ye Chen thought, many Mathematicians were somewhat confused and even skeptical about the first Algorithm.
However, Ye Chen soon started writing again.
"Oh my God, does this young man have a second Algorithm?"
"That’s impossible, right? One proof method is already incredible, and he actually found a second one?"
Ye Chen’s writing speed wasn’t very fast. The original Livestreaming time was only half an hour, and now it had already gone overtime.
The host was a bit dazed.
"Let him continue," the person in charge said in a deep voice.
If they made Ye Chen stop now, the Mathematicians below would likely fight them to the death.
"This young man is using the Three-prime Theorem and Dome’s Law, right?"
"He’s simply a genius."
"That’s right, he’s practically sent by God."
In the crowd, a richly dressed girl stared intently at Ye Chen on the stage.
She said to the butler beside her, "I want all the information on this young man."
"Miss Eli, have you taken a liking to him? But you are five years older than him."
"It doesn’t matter; my beauty can compensate for the age difference. I said that my man must be the smartest person in the world, and he fits my requirements perfectly."
Whether it was his looks, temperament, or the talent Ye Chen displayed, Ye Chen had made this Miss Eli’s heart flutter.
