Chapter 1044 Your Future Studen
After Lu Zhou left, he was about to go to his mathematics department office. However, he happened to bump into an acquaintance downstairs.
Actually, this person barely counted as his acquaintance. Lu Zhou had only met this kid a few times before, and because of his unique face, Lu Zhou recognized him.
When this kid noticed Lu Zhou, his eyes lit up as he waved his hand.
“Master! It’s me! Li Mo!”This attracted the attention of the people around him, and some people began chuckling.
Honestly, Lu Zhou was tempted to ignore him and leave.
However, he remembered that the kid got a perfect gold medal in the IMO competition and came all the way here from Beijing. So, he sighed and spoke.
“You really came to Jin University?”
“Of course! You said you would accept me as your student.” Li Mo awkwardly scratched his head and said, “I really just want to learn mathematics with you.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “I have high standards, are you sure?”
Li Mo said in a serious manner, “I am sure! I want to become a great mathematician like you! I want to help our country! I want to win a Fields Medal—”“Okay, enough,” Lu Zhou calmly said. “You can forget about the Fields Medal. Anyone who has won the Fields Medal never made it their goal to win the medal. We are just studying the language of the universe, whether it’s the Fields Medal or the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize… those are meaningless.”
Anyone who has won the Fields Medal never made it their goal to win the medal…
Li Mo repeated this in his mind, and he had a look of awe on his face.
So insightful!
No wonder he’s such a great mathematician!
He’s so well-spoken…
Lu Zhou felt a little embarrassed. He coughed and spoke.
“Also, another piece of advice.”
Li Mo: “Yes, Master!”
“Don’t call me master, just call me Professor Lu. Also, if you want to learn math well, you have to stop being arrogant and impatient. Also, you might want to get rid of the habit of humble bragging.”
Lu Zhou looked at the kid and spoke.
“Any other questions?”
Li Mo scratched his head and said, “Does that count as one piece or two pieces of advice?”
“That’s not important.”
After that, Lu Zhou turned around.
“Follow me, I’ll show you the office.
“If you don’t understand a question, you can ask me. Don’t bother me with stupid questions.”
Li Mo followed Lu Zhou and excitedly said, “Okay, Master!”
…
After Lu Zhou submitted his thesis proposal, he left it alone.
For him, submitting the proposal was just to inform the school about what he was researching. The research funding would go toward his office and travel expenses.
After Lu Zhou took Li Mo to his office, he told Li Mo that “once you graduate, you’ll get your desk here”.
Even though some professors would place worthy undergraduate students in their office occasionally, Lu Zhou didn’t intend to do that.
Undergraduate studies were important.
Especially for a genius, giving them the freedom to explore was better than restricting them.
An undergrad would learn more by staying in the library and researching problems themselves.
He Changwen looked at the young kid that left and asked, “Professor, is he your student?”
Lu Zhou said, “Future student.”
Wu Shuimu, an applied mathematics student, took off his glasses and said, “Professor, what’s his background?”
He had never seen Professor Lu so enthusiastic with an undergraduate student before. He was quite curious who this young man was.
Lu Zhou spoke.
“IMO gold medalist.”
IMO gold medalist!
Even though Lu Zhou spoke casually, the atmosphere in the office suddenly froze.
The Fields Medal for high school students, IMO!
And he won a gold medal!
I had no idea he was that impressive!
But what is an IMO gold medalist doing here, why not go to Yan University?
“Look at you guys, it’s just an IMO medal.”
You guys didn’t react like this when I won the Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize…
Lu Zhou smiled at the noob researchers and cleared his throat. He spoke concisely.
“I have something to say.”
Han Mengqi put down her pen, and so did Feng Jin.
The office quieted down, and everyone looked at him seriously.
“Don’t be so nervous,” Lu Zhou said. “I just went to the academic affairs office and submitted my thesis proposal. Our task going forward is to unify algebra and geometry. Your work will be in this general area…
“I haven’t figured out how to name this theory, so this is just to give you guys a heads-up.
“Keep on working.”
After that, Lu Zhou ignored their stunned looks. He casually turned around and left the office.
…
Level 10 in mathematics was a huge deal, so Lu Zhou had this on the top of his priority list.
After that, he had to deal with the clues he got from the Void Memory…
Wang Peng drove him to the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. He took the elevators and went to his underground basement. He found the black cube debris.
As expected, it looked exactly the same as the one in his memory!
Other than the fact that the surface was black, the engravings and shape of the cube were almost exactly the same as the golden cube he pulled out of the liquid helium pool!
Lu Zhou was certain he was correct.
After all, the memory was engraved in his mind…
“I think this is some kind of storage device…”
Lu Zhou’s finger carefully searched along the engraved lines. He tried to find a way to turn this thing on. Unfortunately, he wasn’t successful.
“… There should be some kind of device to turn this on.
“But… what if it’s already broken?”
Lu Zhou placed the cube on the workbench.
A dialog box appeared on the control interface.
[Master, do you want me to take it apart?≧▽≦*]
The mechanical arm next to it began to move.
Lu Zhou: “Can you guarantee it can be reassembled again?”
[What? It has to be reassembled? (.・∀・)]
“… Of course, otherwise, I can disassemble it myself.”
Lu Zhou looked at the mechanical arm, then stared at the black cube. He suddenly sighed.
“If only I can access another Void Memory.”
His intuition told him that the answer should be inside the void.
Not just the answer to this debris.
But also the answer to the origin of the system…
