Chapter 14 Genius

"I'm here to interview. I want to interview Teacher Li Mo from your school." Wei Xiaonian asked directly, and he eagerly met the teacher who proved Kolaz's conjecture.

"Teacher Li Mo?" Jiao Xuefeng was very unfamiliar with this name. He didn't remember that there was this teacher in the school. But it was normal. There were many new teachers in the school every year, and he knew not every teacher.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask the Academic Affairs Director to contact you," he picked up the phone, paused and said. "Why do you want to interview Teacher Li Mo? Can I know?"

"Do you know the Kolaz guess?" A strange word popped out from the young reporter's mouth.

"Korazz guess?, I don't know, I'm from the liberal arts."

"Does Teacher Li Mo have anything to do with this guess?" Jiao Xuefeng frowned and asked.

"The Koalaz conjecture is a mathematical problem. It was proposed in 1927. In 1930, Koalaz of the University of Hamburg, Germany, studied this conjecture, so it was named." Wei Xiaonian was surprised that the high school principal in front of him did not know the Koalaz conjecture.

"Teacher Li Mo proved him." He added.

"Teacher Li Mo solved a problem, so why did you come to interview him?" Jiao Xuefeng didn't understand the young reporter's ideas.

"That's not tight, it's a simple problem." Wei Xiaonian was very dissatisfied with the use of a question to define the Kolaz conjecture in focus.

"It is a difficult problem that countless Chinese and foreign mathematicians have not overcome in the past century."

"You always know that the Goldbach conjecture is unsolved by the world's mathematical problems."

Although the Kolaz conjecture cannot be on par with the Goldbach conjecture, it does belong to the world's unsolved problems. Wei Xiaonian said this in order to enhance its status.

"Goldbach Conjecture" Jiao Xuefeng was shocked and sat up from the sofa. Although he studied liberal arts, he still knew the story of Chen Jingrun and the Goldbach Conjecture.

"Our Mengcheng No. 1 High School actually came up with a teacher to solve the "Goldbach Conjecture". "Jiao Xuefeng couldn't sit still. This was a major event at Mengcheng No. 1 High School. As the principal, he didn't know that it was too dereliction of duty. He thought he had to find this teacher Li Mo immediately.

He led Wei Xiaonian to the Academic Affairs Director's office. Before the Academic Affairs Director could speak, Jiao Xuefeng asked anxiously: "Let Teacher Li Mo come."

"Teacher Li Mo?" The academy director's chubby face looked a little dull.

"Yes, Teacher Li Mo, call him and ask him to come here immediately." Jiao Xuefeng strengthened his tone. He was not satisfied with the performance of the Academic Affairs Director.

"No teacher named Li Mo in our school," the academic director came back to his senses when he saw Principal Jiao angry and explained immediately.

"Are you sure?" Jiao Xuefeng felt half-hearted. How could there be no teacher who solved the problem in the school? It must be impossible.

"Confirm, the names of all the teachers in the school are printed in my mind." As the academy director said, he pointed at his fat brain with his fat fingers, as if his head was a computer.

Jiao Xuefeng turned his doubtful gaze to reporter Wei Xiaonian.

"Impossible!" Wei Xiaonian took out a copy of the paper he carried with him, pointed to the cover and said, "Look, it clearly states that Li Mo, Class 1, 3, high school."

"But I didn't say it was teacher Li Mo. Can't it be Li Mo, a student in Class 1, Grade 1, Grade 3?" Jiao Xuefeng seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. Mengcheng High School cannot be without Li Mo.

"This paper written by the student is impossible!" Wei Xiaonian glanced at the principal who had no professional qualities. This paper was clear in logic, rigorous and concise in deconstruction, and there was no redundant word. If it weren't for immersed in the field of mathematics for more than ten years, it would be impossible to write such a high-level paper.

"You'll know if you ask the class teacher of Class 1 and Class 3 of Grade 1? This semester, the class 1 and Class 3 of Grade 1 should be Class 2 and Class 3 of Grade 2." The academic director next to him saw the two arguing and came up with an idea. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "School just started today, although school is over now. The teachers in the school should still be in the office, so let's go now."

In the head teacher's office, Li Mo stood in front of Teacher Wang with his head down. On the desk was his empty homework book. He has a lot of experience in being scolded. When the teacher scolds you, you just treat it as a song. The teacher is singing, and you leak an intoxicated expression, and then nods frequently, and soon the teachers will lose the desire to scold you.

Teacher Wang didn't know if he was tired or was conquered by Li Mo's "performance". He just sat at the desk and drank tea one by one, ignoring him.

"Tsk tsk, that is, the second and third graders of high school are talents. I didn't do any homework during the summer vacation. I am worthy of being a student in the second and third graders of high school." A middle-aged woman wearing makeup on the next table said contemptuously.

"Teacher Gu, I am educating my students. Please don't interrupt me, thank you." Teacher Wang said angrily. It seems that he is still very protective of his students, and only he can criticize his students.

"It is impolite to interfere casually when others speak," he added.

.............

"This is the teachers' office, principal and journalist, please come in." The academic director let the two into the office.

"Telephone...Director Gu...Principal, why are you here?" The sharp-eyed teacher Gu quickly met him.

The academic director ignored her and went straight to Teacher Wang's desk. He asked, "Teacher Wang, is there a student in your class called Li Mo?"

"Li Mo... Yes, there is a student in our class named Li Mo. What happened?" Teacher Wang answered again and glanced at Li Mo who was lowering his head.

"That's great. Please invite Li Mo. I have something to ask him." Principal Jiao suddenly became excited.

"Oh... this is Li Mo." Teacher Wang pointed to Li Mo next to him. Seeing the principal's happy look, he thought it was not a bad thing.

"You are Li Mo? Li Mo from Class 2, Grade 3?"

"Did you submit a manuscript in the Mathematics Monthly, called "On "For every positive integer, if it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add 1, if it is an even number, divide it by 2, and in this way, you can finally get 1." The conclusion is established." Before the principal's interrogation, Wei Xiaonian rushed forward and asked.

Wei Xiaonian's firecracker-like speech speed and uncommon mathematical terms made everyone next to him confused.

"Yes, I submitted a manuscript in Mathematics Monthly a few days ago, but I haven't received the sample manuscript yet." Li Mo came back to his senses, and thought it was the paper that was published.

"It's really you?" Wei Xiaonian showed an incredible expression.

"It should...it's really me." Is this still a hypocrite? Li Mo doesn't understand the exaggerated expression of the riding suit in front of him.

"In the paper, n(n1)/2 is an odd number, ×2×112nn1n(n1)/21 is an even number, what is behind dividing by 22n1(n1)/4?" Wei Xiaonian studied the paper in depth, and he believed that this is the essence of the paper.

"Continue two situations: even, odd, and even, loop 1, 2, (anyway, the number decreases when even), until 2n1(n1)/4 is an odd number. Transform to n(n1)(n1)/4, because: n is an odd number, n1 is an even number, and only (n1)/4 is an even number, nn1(n1)/4 can be an odd number." Li Mo answered without thinking, "Whether to continue, there are still many more afterwards."

"It's really you!" Wei Xiaonian was so excited that he couldn't speak. "No, I want to call the editor first to tell the editor-in-chief that I found Li Mo." As he said that, he took out his cell phone and walked out, leaving a few people looking at each other below.

"You solved the Koalaz conjecture?" Teacher Wang could stuff a duck egg into his mouth, and he understood what the reporter said.

"It should be considered as it is. I proved the question, and then wrote a paper and sent it to the "Mathematics Monthly"." Li Mo said calmly. He now knew that these people came for that paper.
