At this moment, inside the corridor of Peking UniversityРІР‚в„ўs teaching building.
Li Ke was on the phone with a friend from MIT.
"GoldbachРІР‚в„ўs Conjecture has troubled our field of mathematics for centuries, expecting a primary school student to solve it is simply naive."
"No, Xiaobei is different. HeРІР‚в„ўs a genius. After spending time with him these few days, I believe he definitely has that capability."
"Humph, really overestimating oneself, I really donРІР‚в„ўt understand why you waste time on a child."
Li Ke took a deep breath: "Because he is the future of Hua CountryРІР‚в„ўs mathematics."
Back then, Li Ke left the homeland to learn advanced knowledge and contribute to the country.
So, when he learned about Chen Xiaobei, he flew back to Hua Country immediately.
Li Ke knew he was different from Chen Xiaobei. He relied on hard work, while Chen Xiaobei was truly a genius.
At this moment, Ye Chen walked over.
"Professor Li, why so worried?"
Li Ke sighed: "The project IРІР‚в„ўm researching with Xiaobei has hit a bottleneck."
Ye Chen smiled: "IРІР‚в„ўll take a look."
"You..." Li Ke chuckled bitterly.
Mathematics is different from other disciplines.
It is the most rigorous. Perhaps some disciplines might involve luck, but mathematics relies on step-by-step calculations.
However, Li Ke did not directly undermine Ye Chen but followed him into Chen XiaobeiРІР‚в„ўs workshop.
Inside the workshop, Chen Xiaobei frowned and scribbled something on paper.
Li Ke was just about to call Chen Xiaobei, but Ye Chen shook his head.
Ye Chen stood behind Chen Xiaobei.
Previously, Ye Chen saw these formulas and numbers as incomprehensible as a heavenly script.
But now, a glance made everything come together.
Chen XiaobeiРІР‚в„ўs calculation direction wasnРІР‚в„ўt wrong, but he overlooked a point.
Soon, Ye Chen pinpointed the problem.
Seeing Ye Chen intently watching Chen XiaobeiРІР‚в„ўs calculation, Li Ke shook his head.
For a layperson, this advanced mathematical calculation is incomprehensible.
In his eyes, Ye Chen was just pretending.
Ye Chen suddenly spoke.
"Any sufficiently large even number can be expressed as the sum of two numbers, where one is a prime number and the other is the product of two primes. You can try calculating from this angle."
Suddenly inspired, Chen Xiaobei started scribbling away excitedly.
Subsequently, formulas and numbers appeared on the paper.
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction. As expected of a math genius, his hint provided Chen Xiaobei with the key to success.
One side, Li Ke was stunned.
WasnРІР‚в„ўt Ye Chen a DiDi driver?
The words just now seemed like only a mathematician could say them.
Spiritual Qi revived?
Is the street full of math geniuses?
Chen XiaobeiРІР‚в„ўs pen halted, eyes shining.
"I calculated it."
Li Ke, stunned, picked up Chen XiaobeiРІР‚в„ўs calculation sheet and was shocked by the contents.
All along, Li Ke and Chen Xiaobei seemed trapped in a maze, spinning and unable to get out.
Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, however, were like a beacon in the darkness.
"Mr. Ye, are you really driving DiDi?" Li Ke asked incredulously.
"Yeah, IРІР‚в„ўm a DiDi driver, officially certified."
"But... how can you understand mathematics?"
"Actually, while driving DiDi, I dabble in other fields too, like calligraphy, painting, and mathematics."
Just dabbling? YouРІР‚в„ўre ridiculously modest; is this dabbling?
Ye Chen continued to smile: "Xiaobei, what you just calculated was BachРІР‚в„ўs conjecture of 1+2, letРІР‚в„ўs deduce 1+1."
"What? Calculating 1+1?"
In GoldbachРІР‚в„ўs Conjecture, many mathematicians believe that proving "1+1" requires creating new mathematical methods because the old paths may not work.
Some even think that it might take decades or even a century to solve GoldbachРІР‚в„ўs 1+1 conjecture.
Chen Xiaobei nodded but with doubt asked: "IРІР‚в„ўve calculated before, but many methods didnРІР‚в„ўt work."
Ye Chen smiled gently: "You can try my method."
Then, Ye Chen sat at the desk and scribbled a series of characters on a blank sheet.
Looking at Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs formula, Li Ke and Chen Xiaobei were shocked.
Ye Chen seemed to show them a different mathematic.
These were methods and formulas they had never imagined.
Ye Chen filled a page and said to Chen Xiaobei: "You should know how to proceed with the rest."
Chen Xiaobei nodded vigorously and continued calculating according to Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs train of thought.
Time ticked by second by second.
Three hours later, Chen Xiaobei suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "I figured it out, I finally figured it out."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Xiaobei, well done."
Li Ke picked up the calculation paper, feeling like he was dreaming.
He looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of shock.
At first, he thought Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs discovery of Chen Xiaobei was just a coincidence, but now he realized Ye Chen is the most brilliant math genius.
One should know that solving GoldbachРІР‚в„ўs Conjecture is the dream of countless mathematicians.
Many have researched for decades without finding a clue.
Yet this problem that puzzled world mathematicians for centuries was solved by Ye Chen so effortlessly.
ItРІР‚в„ўs simply astonishing.
If Chen Xiaobei is a math genius, then Ye Chen is the god of mathematics.
Li Ke excitedly grasped Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs hand: "Mr. Ye, thank you, youРІР‚в„ўve solved a mathematical problem that troubled our field for centuries."
"YouРІР‚в„ўve been researching such a simple problem for centuries?" Ye Chen showed an incredulous expression.
Li Ke: "..."
Ye Chen shook his head: "By the way, donРІР‚в„ўt use my name for this paper, just write Xiaobei."
"But..." Li Ke wanted to say something.
Ye Chen, however, said: "You can consult me anytime, the condition is that you must serve Hua Country, and now you must do as I say."
Li Ke nodded.
Soon, news spread throughout Hua Country.
Hua Country genius Chen Xiaobei conquered two major world challenges of GoldbachРІР‚в„ўs Conjecture overnight.
The entire world of mathematics was in an uproar.
In a barbecue shop, Ye Chen, Li Yan, and Chen Xiaobei were eating barbecue together.
"Brother Ye Chen, why not put your name on it? This conjecture was clearly solved by you."
Ye Chen shook his head: "I was merely an inspiration, the final deduction came from you."
Li Yan asked curiously: "Ye Chen, since youРІР‚в„ўre so skilled in mathematics, why not become a professor at Peking University? Why drive DiDi?"
Ye Chen smiled: "Driving DiDi is great, no brain work needed, just driving. Mathematics is merely a hobby for me."
