Chapter 1634 Chapter 1636【Two-pronged approach】
After joining Brown University, Xiang Nan continued to engage in research in mathematics and physics, and then made persistent efforts to prove Goldbach's conjecture [six plus six].
The so-called Goldbach's conjecture is a conjecture proposed by the famous mathematician Goldbach in a letter to Euler in 1742. Any integer greater than two can be written as the sum of three prime numbers.
It's just that he couldn't prove this conjecture, so he asked Euler for advice. But Euler did not prove this conjecture until his death, so it has become a problem that has plagued the mathematics community for a hundred years.
Before this, mathematicians around the world have only proved [nine plus nine] and [seven plus seven] for breakthroughs on this issue. The so-called nine and seven are almost prime numbers, which are different from the numbers commonly understood.
And Xiang Nan proved [six plus six], which is a pretty remarkable progress in Goldbach's conjecture. And once again shocked the industry.
However, Xiang Nan did not stop. He then gave the [Relativistic Quantum Mechanics Equation of Electron Motion].
Using this equation to study the energy level distribution of hydrogen atoms, considering the relativistic effect of electrons with spin angular momentum moving at high speed, can give the fine structure of hydrogen atom energy levels.
Subsequently, this equation was confirmed to be consistent with the experimental data by the Physics Laboratory of Oxford University in the United Kingdom, so it caused a sensation in the industry again. And this equation, also named after Xiang Nan, is called Xu's equation.
The introduction of this equation is a major breakthrough in the field of relativity and quantum mechanics, and has laid the foundation for the study of elementary particle physics. Therefore, Xiang Nan naturally gained a great reputation and became a well-known academic star in the industry.
Not only has been invited by many institutions of higher learning and research institutes to cooperate, but it has also made a splash in the public domain. Especially in China, Xiang Nan, who has repeatedly made amazing achievements and brought glory to the country, is known as the pride of the Chinese people.
Major newspapers carried out numerous reports, praising Xiang Nan's achievements.
But to be honest, very few Chinese people had received higher education at that time, and even if they had, they might not be able to understand Fermat's conjecture, Goldbach's conjecture, and relativistic quantum mechanics.
Therefore, most Chinese people do not have an intuitive feeling for Xiang Nan's achievements. But they only look for one thing, that is, Xiang Nan's achievements are beyond the reach of many foreigners.
This alone is enough to make them proud.
Because Xiang Nan was so popular, not only the Beiyang government sent a special telegram to commend him, but even the newly established Jinling Nationalist Government sent telegrams to commend him.
However, Xiang Nan is not rare.
…
At the end of 2027, Xiang Nan released a new work.
However, it is no longer a monograph on mathematics and physics, but a fantasy novel-"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
Once this novel was released, it caused a sensation again.
On the one hand, books suitable for children have always been low-yield.
Because writers with aspirations prefer to engage in experimental literature and serious literature. They feel that writing this kind of popular literature is a waste of talent and lacks ambition.
For example, Conan Doyle, who wrote the great detective Sherlock Holmes, once wrote his hard-working Sherlock Holmes to death, just to pursue the dream of serious literature. But in the end, it was because of the pleas of readers that he was allowed to bring Holmes back to life.
Although his martial arts novels were very popular, he felt ashamed to see Mr. Lu Xun again, and cut off contact on his own initiative.
It is precisely because of this that in the field of popular literature, talented writers are unwilling to write, and untalented writers write and no one reads them. Especially children's literature is a minority in popular literature, and even fewer people write it, so children generally lack reading materials.
On the one hand, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is indeed a rare good book, with wonderful stories and rich imagination, integrating adventure, puzzle solving, friendship, treasures and many other elements, so it is naturally beautiful.
In addition, Xiang Nan has already gained a certain reputation with "The Hobbit", so after the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", it became very popular.
The first edition was printed with 300,000 copies, and soon after it was put on the market, all of them were sold out, which shows its popularity.
Visby Publishing Company saw this and immediately printed another 700,000 copies, but the supply was still in short supply.
This is also because Christmas is here, and parents are starting to choose Christmas gifts for their children. And a book suitable for them to read is undoubtedly a good Christmas gift, so they bought it one after another.
Finally, with the east wind of Christmas, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" sold 3 million copies in France alone. In the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and other countries, the sales of this book are also good.
Xiang Nan also obtained a huge wealth of millions of francs again because of this book. In terms of getting rich from writing alone, his income even exceeds that of predecessors such as Hugo, Dumas, Dumas, and Balzac.
…
Entering 2028, Xiang Nan continued to focus on both, starting both in the fields of science and literature.
Use scientific works to help yourself gain reputation, use literary works to help yourself earn money, grasping with both hands, both hands are hard.
At the same time, Feng Chengcheng also successfully passed the test and was admitted to the Department of Literature and Art of Brown University.
This made her very happy.
"Wen Qiang, I want to go back to China, what do you think?" Feng Chengcheng said to Xiang Nan.
"What happened at home, why do you want to go back all of a sudden?" Xiang Nan asked curiously upon hearing this.
"That's not true. But it's been a year since I came out, and I miss my dad a little bit." Feng Chengcheng explained.
Xiang Nan nodded, father and daughter united, he could understand Feng Chengcheng's thoughts. However, he really didn't want to go back to Hujiang.
Because, the current domestic political situation is in chaos, and the Beiyang government and the Nationalist government are fighting endlessly. As an economic center, Hujiang is also a place where wind and clouds gather.
Great powers, compradors, capitalists, patriots, traitors... all kinds of forces gathered together, it was a mess.
And Feng Jingyao, as a comprador, capitalist, and traitor, is at the center of the storm. Surrounded by countless troubles, anyone who dares to recruit him will get into trouble.
Especially Xiang Nan, with such a great reputation and high status, it is even more attractive. Once you get involved with him, it's really yellow mud falling into your crotch, it's either **** or shit.
"Cheng Cheng, it's too troublesome to go back. In my opinion, it's better to let uncle come to Paris, and treat it as a trip to open your eyes." Xiang Nan thought for a while, and then persuaded, "You know, he Working hard in Hujiang, there is no time to rest. This time, it is considered to be relaxing."
Feng Chengcheng felt it made sense when he heard it, so he nodded.
