The End of Technology

"Hey, Teacher Zheng, what a coincidence? Are you here to pick me up at the station?"

"Yes, Teacher Xu, what about you? Are you here to pick me up too?"

"haha, yes!"

At the west exit of Nanhu High-speed Railway South Station, Zhongguancun College of Arts and Sciences and Wudaokou Vocational College are two schools that are right next to each other. The two heads of the admissions team in Nanhu Province met without any surprise, and then greeted each other warmly. , and then fell into a slightly awkward silence.

These two schools are almost equally famous in China. The specific manifestation is probably that when people say that Yanbei and Huaqing are the two top universities in China, teachers and students of the two schools will not have any opinions.

But once there is a competition between two schools, it becomes "Don't choose the opposite school, otherwise your life will be ruined!"

Every year when competing for students, the two of them would say this kind of thing frequently, and they would also say something even more egregious.

This time is also quite embarrassing. It's already mid-May, and the college entrance examination is about to take place next month. In fact, they are watching most of the outstanding children. Conflicts occur from time to time. When the college entrance examination results come out, it will be the time when the bayonet is red.

In recent years, the two have often fought against each other in order to grab students from Nanhu Province.

It is for this reason that the relationship between the two is probably that of the most familiar competitors. The relationship will definitely not be very good, but since everyone is doing business, it won't be too bad.

Of course, the premise is the non-enrollment season.

When it comes time to draw swords and confront each other, if the other party dares to use tactics, then it is normal for them to curse. Naturally, there cannot be too much communication on weekdays. After all, the relationship is too good, and it is inconvenient to resort to tricks when robbing people.

But in this special place, and when both of them were full of doubts, they didn't mind chatting a little more.

Aren’t things like information often obtained through casual chatting?

"The weather is not bad today."

"Yes, it has been raining for several days, and it has finally cleared up. It's quite suitable for a long trip."

"A long trip? Why is Teacher Zheng planning to take a long trip today?"

"Haha, I just said it casually. Teacher Xu, you are a little sensitive today. What's wrong? Have you received a mission to go down below?"

"That's it?" Xu Xingfan smiled, and then suddenly said: "Are you going to Luoyu County?"

"Huh?" Zheng Wenhua glanced at Yanbei's teacher Xu. His face subconsciously didn't show much emotion, but he found that this matter was getting more and more interesting, so he asked: "Who are you, Yanbei?" Is the boss coming?"

Xu Xingfan said simply: "Academician Fan."

"Pfft..." Zheng Wenhua finally couldn't stand it any longer and said in surprise: "You're also going to find Ning Zi?"

"Do you know this person?" Xu Xingfan was a little surprised.

"Ahem, Luohe County is one of the counties and cities covered by our self-improvement plan. He was a recent candidate last year and ranked first in the county." Zheng Wenhua glanced at Xu Xingfan and answered.

It wasn't that I wanted to tell the other person the information deliberately, it was mainly because I was too surprised. How could He De, an ordinary student who was persuaded to quit Hua Qing University, have the top bosses from the mathematics schools of two top universities come to visit him at the same time?

"Oh? How many points?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be 633."

"This score is not very high!" Xu Xingfan said while touching his chin.

After the exchange of information was completed, the two of them fell into thinking at the same time.

There's nothing I can do about it, this thing looks weird no matter how you look at it.

…

"Professor Lu, this way..."

At the exit of the station, Lu Zhengyue took the lead and walked out with long strides. Although he was 63 years old, this mathematician was still rosy-cheeked, energetic, and walked like a tiger.

"Xiao Zheng?"

"It's me, Professor Lu, would you like to take a rest first?"

"No rest, go directly to Luoyu County."

"Okay, Director Li from the Municipal Education Bureau here has specially arranged for a car to come over and is waiting in the parking lot. We'll go there right now. I'll get your bag."

Zheng Wenhua, who received Lu Zhengyue, quickly agreed, then nodded to Xu Xingfan and said, "Then we'll leave first, Teacher Xu."

However, upon hearing this greeting, before Xu Xingfan could respond, Lu Zhengyue stopped, turned to look at Xu Xingfan, frowned and asked, "Teacher Xu? Which unit are you from?"

The tone was not too polite, but Xu Xingfan had heard about the violent temper of this mathematician, so he still answered: "Xu Xingfan from Yanbei University, hello Mr. Lu."

"Are you here to pick someone up? That old boy Fan Zhenhua is here too?"

"Uh... yes, Professor Fan should be on the same train with you. He will be out in a moment."

"Oh!" Lu Zhengyue nodded, stood there and thought for a while, then looked at Zheng Wenhua and said, "I don't care about one or two minutes, just wait for him first."

Sure enough, in just one or two minutes, Fan Zhenhua also walked out.

"Hello, Professor Fan!"

"Old Fan!"

"Huh? Lao Lu?" Fan Zhenhua glanced at Lu Zhengyue in surprise, and then ignored the double academician. Instead, he looked at Xu Xingfan and said, "Are you Teacher Xu? I'm going to trouble you this time."

"Yes, yes! I'll help you get your bag. The car is ready. Let's go directly to Luoyu County?"

"Thank you." Fan Zhenhua smiled, handed the handbag he was carrying to Xu Xingfan, and said, "Please wait a minute. I'll have a chat with an old friend first."

After saying that, he walked over to Lu Zhengyue, who looked impatient, and asked directly: "How many times have you read that paper?"

"After generally going through it, many of the ideas are very creative, but there are still some parts that need to be verified carefully, especially the verification process of the divergence and convergence conditions of Theorem 4.1 and Theorem 4.7, which requires a huge amount of calculation. I have asked students to design the program and use Super He's running away. What about you?" Lu Zhengyue replied.

"Same as what you think." Fan Zhenhua replied.

"Still so hypocritical!" Lu Zhengyue said contemptuously.

"I ran all day yesterday for the BRICS Mathematicians Conference, and I didn't receive the news until at night. I didn't receive the paper until about 12 o'clock in the morning. When I saw it at 5 o'clock in the morning, I pushed forward the Mathematical Logic Conference of the Capital Normal University and booked tickets. , arranged things, and then took the high-speed train for five hours to read more. Is it normal that the progress is not as fast as yours? Why is it hypocritical?" Fan Zhenhua didn't worry, and explained slowly and carefully.

"So what are you doing here? You are the chairman of the Mathematics Society. With so many administrative matters, you don't even have time to do academic work. Do you still have time to take care of students? For the sake of your child's future, you should buy a ticket and go back." Lu Zhengyue Said aggressively.

"Haha... Lao Lu, can we show some respect? What can you teach me? How much impact does the perturbation of the fixed solution conditions have on the solution? You are already old, why don't you continue to study your Monge-Ampère equation? Let the young people go!"

"You know what the heck, Ning Zi was originally a student of our Huaqing!"

"Oh, if I'm not confused, it's May now, isn't it? It's not summer vacation yet, so why isn't he in Huaqing? By the way, why is it that the unit that Huaqing students are writing about has nothing to do with Huaqing? This makes you even more confused It’s time to review, Lao Lu, how did Hua Qing do it? People are so angry that even their students are not willing to fill in the name of their own school when signing papers? Speak out and let Yanbei University avoid the trap!"

"you……"
