Chapter 265 After all that, he was still just showing off.
This incident, which occurred the day before the Mathematicians' Congress, did not immediately spread back to China, but it first became a hot topic abroad.
Lin Chen's every move in the lecture hall was captured by the audience.
Then, through their hands, it was first uploaded to overseas websites such as Facebook and YouTube.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the popularity of several videos in which Lin Chen proved the BSD conjecture skyrocketed.
Upon learning of this news, countless overseas mathematics students and scholars watched the video online to get the details as soon as possible.
Within an hour, the video had been viewed over 100,000 times.
"Shit! The BSD conjecture has actually been cracked!"
"Isn't the BSD conjecture one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems in Mathematics? I thought I'd never live to see anyone solve it!"
"I recognize this Chinese guy! Isn't he the man who proved Goldbach's Conjecture at the China-US University Mathematics Challenge? And he even proved the BSD Conjecture?"
"Incredible! The Chinese are amazing! I have a feeling that the future of mathematics may be completely dominated by the Chinese!"
"So cool! That's Lin Shen's style! Look at the way he threw the chalk at the end! It's exactly the same as during the last Longmi Math Challenge!"
"I can't believe I'm watching someone do math problems on YouTube! But this guy is so handsome! Are all men from China this charming? Why do all the Chinese people around me look so sleazy?"
There's an old saying in China: "Your appearance reflects your heart." Many of the Chinese people around you might actually be Koreans or monkeys in disguise.
"Silva! This Lin Chen can't possibly be a pure Dragon Country person! He must have blood from our Great Han Ming Kingdom! Lin is a traditional common surname in our Great Han Ming Kingdom! If you don't believe me, look at our Lin Yoona!"
………………
Above the oil pipe, the heat continued to expand.
Meanwhile, the video, after continuous dissemination, finally reached domestic platforms such as Weibo and Bilibili.
Soon after, a video-related post appeared on Weibo's trending topics list.
"Shocking! Lin Shen has solved the Millennium Prize Problem in mathematics overseas!"
The video trending on social media is Lin Chen's proof of the BSD hypothesis.
"Holy crap! Did Lin Shen go abroad to show off this time?"
"That's a huge overstatement! It's a BSD conjecture! Isn't this the Millennium Prize Problem?"
"Damn, how come Lin Shen solves mathematical conjectures as easily as drinking water? It's only been a few months, and another conjecture has been solved? Even a sow wouldn't be as productive as him!"
"Upstairs, I think your description is very apt!"
"I found out! Lin Shen is at the University of Pennsylvania! The International Congress of Mathematicians is tomorrow! He must be there to receive his award!"
"Rumor has it that Lin Shen is going there to receive the Fields Medal! This award is equivalent to the Nobel Prize for mathematicians!"
"Lin Shen is awesome! If he wins the award, he'll break the record for the oldest Fields Medal winner!"
"The rumors are back! Do you know why Lin Shen proved the BSD conjecture abroad? It's because some people are questioning whether Lin Shen proved Goldbach's conjecture himself!"
"Damn! How could it not be Lin Shen who proved it? We all watched Lin Shen prove Goldbach's Conjecture on TV with our own eyes!"
"You'd never guess that the one questioning him is Cheng Zitong! He suspects that someone else proved Goldbach's Conjecture and then taught the proof formula to Lin Chen!"
"Holy crap! It's that old man again! I knew he was still not convinced! I can't believe he's here again!"
"So Lin Shen proved the BSD conjecture on the spot just to slap him in the face? 666, when it comes to slapping someone in the face, you still have to see Lin Shen do it!"
"After seeing this video, I finally understand what Lin Shen's latest Weibo post meant. It really is just like that moment!"
"Damn it, after all that, Lin Shen's Weibo post was just him showing off!"
"He's been tricked again!"
"He tricked me again! +1!"
………………
Compared to overseas, Lin Chen has more fans in China, so after the video was uploaded...
Within just a few hours, the traffic skyrocketed, exceeding one million views on every platform!
On Weibo, it even soared to the top of the trending list!
Longyan University of Science and Technology.
Mr. Wang is in his office.
"Old Wang! Old Wang!"
Suddenly, President Xu of Longke University rushed in, looking excited.
"Old Wang, are you aware of Lin Chen's matter?"
"What's wrong? What happened to that kid again?"
Old Wang was stunned for a moment, wondering if Lin Chen had caused trouble again abroad.
Seeing that Old Wang looked completely unaware, Principal Xu handed him his own phone.
Only then did Old Wang realize that Lin Chen had solved another world-class mathematical conjecture.
"The BSD hypothesis? Is it true or false?"
An incredulous look appeared in Old Wang's eyes as he immediately clicked on the video.
"Of course it's true, Mr. Wang..."
"Wait a minute, let me finish reading!"
Old Wang said impatiently, and Principal Xu had no choice but to stand aside, not daring to disturb him.
However, the video was over an hour long, and Principal Xu didn't want to disturb Mr. Wang, so he could only use the phone in his office to make calls around.
It was a long time before Mr. Wang finally finished watching the video, and he looked very emotional.
"This kid, without making a sound, has stirred up another big mess for us... Is this video real?"
Principal Xu pushed aside the phone and nodded, saying, "It's true! I just had someone contact them in the US! It's absolutely true! It's causing quite a stir there!"
An uncontrollable smile immediately spread across Old Wang's face.
If he was worried about Lin Chen's trip to the United States before...
After watching the video, he understood that Lin Chen's winning the award was now a certainty.
Even if Cheng Zitong was unwilling, it was impossible for the Fields Medal committee to refuse to award the prize to a young man who had solved two major mathematical conjectures in succession!
"Xiao Xu, shouldn't we have someone prepare the banner?"
"Banner?"
Upon hearing this, Principal Xu immediately understood.
"Mr. Wang, are you referring to... this Fields?"
Seeing that Old Wang nodded, Principal Xu dared not hesitate any longer and immediately made a phone call to have someone prepare.
Despite being backed by the Longyan Academy of Sciences and boasting the most academicians and scholars in the country, Longyan University of Technology's achievement of winning the Fields Medal is a first for the university!
While Longke University was busy preparing for the celebration, major official media outlets also published articles to celebrate Lin Chen's achievement.
However, compared to the nationwide celebration when Lin Chen proved Goldbach's Conjecture last time, this is nothing like the last time.
This time, all major official media outlets exercised restraint.
It wasn't for any particular reason.
Instead, they were building up their emotions, waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
Because they already know that Lin Chen is likely to make history at tomorrow's International Congress of Mathematicians.
The first Fields Medal winner in history with Chinese nationality!
Everyone is looking forward to witnessing that historic moment together!
