Chapter 62 Interview
"Make up, ok."
"Camera seat, ok."
"Lighting, ok."
Female reporter Zhang Xiaoyu came to Li Mo and asked softly: "Do we need to correct the lines first?"
Li Mo shook his head. For him, news must be true.
"3,2,1", the director next to him made a starting gesture.
"Good morning, dear audience friends, I am the host Zhang Xiaoyu, and the person we are interviewing today is a special person." Zhang Xiaoyu on the stage was tactful and generous.
"He proved the world-class hard problem Coraz conjecture in his freshman year of high school."
"When he was a sophomore in high school, he was admitted to a top university in the country."
"When he was 17 years old, he proved one of the three major conjectures of the new century, the four-color conjecture."
"He was deeply involved in a plagiarism scandal because he published 10 CSI papers in a row."
As she spoke, she made an invitation gesture to Li Mo in the audience, "He is Li Mo, a freshman in the Department of Mathematics at Yanda."
Li Mo walked up to the stage lightly and sat opposite Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Hello, classmate Li Mo." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Hello, host." Li Mo looked a little nervous.
"I heard that your math scores in elementary school and junior high school were not very good, is that true?" It seemed that she had done enough homework in advance.
Li Mo nodded: "That's right, my math score in the primary school graduation exam was 59 points. I remember that on the day when the results were announced, the stick that was commonly used at home broke. It was broken by my mother."
Zhang Xiaoyu was amused by Li Mo's humor: "It seems that Li Mo's mother is a strict mother."
"Yes, but she is also a good mother." Li Mo said.
"Since your math scores are so poor, how could you prove the Coraz conjecture in your freshman year of high school? Some viewers may not know what the Coraz conjecture is, so let me explain it." With that, Zhang Xiaoyu took the
The cue cards came out.
"The "Coraz conjecture" is also known as the 3n+1 conjecture, Kakutani conjecture, Hasse conjecture, Ulam conjecture or Syracuse conjecture. Listening to this long list of names, you may understand that this conjecture has many occurrences in history.
Mathematicians study.”
She paused, glanced at the cue card, and then continued: "The content of Koraz's conjecture is also very simple. Starting from any positive integer n, if it is an even number, divide it by 2, if it is an odd number, multiply it by 3 and add
1. If we continue like this, after a limited number of steps, we can always get 1."
"However, such a simple proposition has never been proven from its birth in 1927 to the present."
Li Mo thought for a moment and said: "To be precise, I proved the Coraz conjecture during the summer vacation of my freshman year of high school."
He corrected Zhang Xiaoyu's statement and continued: "I like playing basketball very much. I spend almost all day on the basketball court during the summer vacation. One day I came home from playing basketball and accidentally found a book on the desk.
The name is called "Collection of World Mathematics Problems". When I opened the book, I found that I couldn't solve any of the questions above, and I couldn't even understand some of them."
"At that time, I suddenly felt that I was too stupid. There was so much unknown knowledge in the world, and I was wasting my time on having fun. So, I tried to solve some of the above problems, and luckily I proved the Coraz conjecture.
, of course I also read a lot of books.”
"It's a very magical experience. A prodigal son suddenly repented and discovered that he was a mathematical genius." Zhang Xiaoyu said jokingly.
"Can I say you are a genius?" she asked with a smile.
Li Mo nodded and said confidently: "I think you can say that. In order to prevent the TV audience from thinking that I am proud, I will explain it first."
Li Mo discovered that the director was directing the photographer to move the camera and slowly approach him.
"Mathematics is a subject that requires talent. Many mathematicians have made amazing achievements when they were young. For example, the mathematician Euler went to college at the age of 13, graduated from college at the age of 15, and obtained a master's degree at the age of 16.
I am already 17 years old and only a freshman in college. Another example is Gauss, the prince of mathematics. When he was 19 years old, he successfully proved that a regular heptadagon can be drawn with a ruler and compass."
"So, geniuses are not rare in the world of mathematics. I admit that I am a genius."
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't expect Li Mo to admit that he was a "genius" so easily. He hesitated and then asked: "Recently, a netizen pointed out on Weibo that you published 10 papers in a row in a month, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Yes, there is suspicion of plagiarism. What do you think of this statement?"
Li Mo smiled slightly and said confidently: "The reason why I can publish multiple papers continuously within a month is because I am a genius. If anyone suspects that the papers I wrote are plagiarized, they can go to CNKI to check for plagiarism.
If there is intentional slander, I hope that person will get the punishment he deserves."
At this time, Zhang Xiaoyu continued: "Accusing academic fraud is a particularly serious matter for an academic person. I also hope that the accuser can provide solid evidence and not take it for granted."
"Okay, that's it for today's interview. Thank you, Li Mo, for coming." Zhang Xiaoyu ended the interview with a smile.
"Card!"
All the staff on site breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiaoyu took out a business card and handed it over, "This is my business card. I hope to contact you more in the future."
Li Mo said against his will: "Yes, I usually like to watch your show."
In the evening, I got the news that Li Mo was going to be on the news. All the students in the mathematics department crowded in front of the TV in the cafeteria.
"Brother Mo is quite photogenic."
"Zhang Xiaoyu is so beautiful, but Li Mo looks like a wooden man."
"You are so confident that you call yourself a genius."
"What if he is just a genius? Can't Li Mo's current achievements be considered a genius?"
The students in front of the TV were talking a lot.
"Beep...Beep..." The phone rang, and Li Mo saw that it was the assistant to Mr. Wei Hua.
"Hello, I'm Li Mo."
"Mr. Li Mo, Mr. Ren has learned about the trouble you have encountered recently. He has assigned a company lawyer to prepare a lawsuit against the blogger who falsely accused you." The voice of Mr. Ren's assistant came over the phone.
"Suing?" Li Mo was a little confused, "I didn't entrust a lawyer to sue."
"Since you are a director of our company, it is the duty of the Weihua Legal Department to protect the reputation of the company's directors. Therefore, the Weihua Legal Department has initiated prosecution procedures." The other person explained.
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you, as long as it doesn't affect my normal life."
"Don't worry, the lawsuit is filed in the name of Huahua Company and will not involve you personally." Mr. Ren's assistant thought clearly.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo still didn't understand, "Does Weihua Company still have such benefits?"
Forget it, if you don’t understand it, just don’t think about it.
Winning the 10,000-meter championship and completing system tasks are the current focus.
