I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 226 Expanding Popularity
Shen Qi stayed in the United States for 106 days. As far as his environment is concerned, the United States is a democratic, tolerant, harmonious and safe country.

There has never been a shooting, and the gunshots have never been heard.

The people of the world are united, and non-white people have equal status with white people.

There's no drugs here, and people love running, exercising, and fitness of all kinds.

There is no need to worry about unemployment here, and everyone lives a busy and fulfilling life.

Freedom of speech here, you are respected because you have extraordinary wisdom and good cultivation.

United States of America, American-Dream, you prosper by the power of God.

Until the 106th day, Shen Qi thought so, because during these 106 days, he never took a step outside the gate of Princeton.

However, on the 107th day, Shen Qi changed his mind. He was robbed in New York.

The armed robbery took place at night, and the white young man holding a Glock was as skinny as a zombie, sniffing his nose.

"I need some money, I don't want to kill people." The white youth only said this sentence, his eyes were fierce, and he ignored life.

Then Shen Qi gave him all the three hundred dollars in cash in his wallet.

Shen Qi admitted his cowardice and did not make any resistance. According to his observation, once he made a movement of resistance or a movement that seemed to be resistance, the robber would shoot without hesitation.

"New York, the most prosperous city in the United States, is heaven during the day, and hell at night." Shen Qi poured champagne at the restaurant inside the hotel, suppressing his shock.

"I told you a long time ago, don't leave the hotel at night." Mary said with some complaints, "I brought you to New York alive, if I bring a corpse back to Princeton, Professor Muller will kill me."

New York is not far from Princeton. Shen Qi and Mary arrived in New York this evening. They will attend a mathematics seminar at Columbia University tomorrow morning.

After checking into the hotel, Shen Qi went downstairs to get some cash, but was robbed outside the Wells Fargo Bank next to the hotel.

In fact, this is the second time for Shen Qi to come to New York. The first time was on August 8. After flying to New York from China, he went directly to Princeton without stopping.

Shen Qi finally stepped out of the Princeton school gate, this was the first time he left PSU, accompanied by Mary.

I wanted to see the great rivers and mountains in the United States, but when I saw a woolen yarn, I was robbed when I went out!
Shen Qi was depressed to death. In the United States, the law and order in a small city like Princeton is probably a little better. The big cities outside are too chaotic. Society, society, American society can't be messed with.

"Hey, stop drinking, hey!" Mary stopped Shen Qi from continuing to drink, she snatched Shen Qi's glass: "You can drink whatever you want after tomorrow's meeting, but tonight is enough."

"It's just thirsty." Shen Qi spread his hands and said, then got up: "In short, thank you for your concern, see you tomorrow."

The next morning, Columbia University.

Shen Qi and his colleague Mary arrived at the meeting site of the "Ivy Symposium on Number Theory" on time.

The meeting gathered number theory experts and scholars from eight famous universities in the northeastern United States. The representatives participated in the Riemann conjecture, Goldbach conjecture, Birch-Swinnerton-Dell conjecture, Walsh conjecture and other number theory issues. Extensive exchanges and in-depth discussions.

The academic atmosphere of the conference was very strong, and the delegates expressed their opinions one after another.

Professor Morris from the University of Pennsylvania spat on Professor Jeffers from Cornell and left angrily.

It is alleged that Professor Jeffers stole Professor Morris's unpublished manuscript and shamelessly took the results for himself.

Shen Qi was taken aback. He didn't know if he didn't come. When he came, he was taken aback. Plagiarism also existed in American academic circles?

Afterwards, Shen Qi made a speech, and the meeting returned to normal order.

Riemann's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, and Birch-Swinnerton-Dell's conjecture are still in the conjecture stage, and there is no conclusion.

Only Walsh's conjecture was proved by Shen Qi. He spoke on behalf of the Princeton Department of Mathematics and was recognized and praised by most of the participants.

“如果V3是一个平方数，则对任意的k大于1，V2k+1不是一个平方数，且方程(t+1)X^4-ty^2=1最多只有两组使得X和Y都是正整数的解……”

Shen Qi was wearing a black suit and a red tie. He was holding a PPT page-turner, and he was talking with grace and eloquence, answering some doubts of the delegates from time to time.

Shen Qi's speech was very exciting, with clear logic and rigorous statement but not boring.

Mary listened intently, she seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant troubles at home, and only profound and profound mathematics could give her temporary peace.

He's improving so fast, he's such a genius?Mary couldn't help staring at Shen Qi. The young postgraduate student of the Department of Mathematics of Pudong University showed a maturity and stability far beyond his peers in front of mathematics, just like a senior professor who has been in the field for many years.

Mary doesn't have any grudges against Shen Qi, because Shen Qi's level has surpassed hers, and he is still speeding up.

Shen Qi has become more confident since he passed the test of the Mathematics Department of Pudong University. He is an unarmed Chinese student on the streets of New York, but he has a powerful self-made weapon in the field of mathematics.

"Thanks to Mr. Shen from Princeton for his speech. It's time for tea break. Mr. Shen will continue his speech in [-] minutes." The host said.

During the tea break, Shen Qi finally met his former idol Gong Changwei.

Gong Changwei, a professor of mathematics at Columbia University and an expert in number theory, arrived a few minutes late and failed to meet Shen Qi before the meeting.

"Wei God, I finally saw you in real life!" Shen Qi hugged Gong Changwei as if he was familiar with him. This was the first time he spoke Chinese with someone in American society.

"Don't don't, you are the god." Gong Changwei smiled, "I have heard of Shen Qi, you, the younger brother of Master Yan, and I am now your fan. Walsh guessed that I have studied for several years and gave up halfway. I want to be proved by you in the end."

"Let's get together another day, with Yunshen."

"Yale is very close to New York, the three of us will keep in touch in the future, and hope to have opportunities to cooperate in the future. The teachers come from Yandatong University, so we should take care of each other." Gong Changwei handed Shen Qi a business card and said: "If you have something to call, I will come I have been in the United States for many years, after all, I am more familiar with the situation than you, so if you have any doubts in academics and life, you can ask me."

"Okay, keep in touch." Shen Qi and Gong Changwei exchanged business cards, and the seniors from the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University successfully met in the largest city in the United States.

I am very happy, I finally met a Chinese fellow in the United States, which is considered to be in contact with the organization.Shen Qi cheered up and was ready to enter the conference hall to start the second half of his speech.

Shen Qi attached great importance to this "Ivy League Symposium on Number Theory".

Although there were only dozens of participants from eight universities, and it was not a grand symposium in the whole field of mathematics, Shen Qi was willing to participate in this kind of academic special symposium to expand his academic reputation outside of Princeton. Expanded to the New York area, and surrounding Ivy League schools.
