Holy shit.
Oh my God.
What the fuck.
At that moment, after reading the email, those three phrases filled Bojielun's mind.
Ahem, never mind why a Frenchman had those three phrases in his head.
But in any case, something he had never imagined had just happened.
A paper on Far Abelian Geometry written by a young man who had only just graduated from high school had actually inspired Peter Scholze, a Fields Medal winner and widely acknowledged mathematical genius.
It could even become the "final spear" that ended the mathematical community's eight-year dispute over the abc conjecture!
At first, he would not have imagined such a thing, nor would he have dared to.
But now...
He had no choice but to believe it.
That high school student from China had truly accomplished something so unbelievable.
What kind of genius had his old friend Hu Guangde encountered?!
The shock in his heart left him unable to recover for quite some time.
It was not until a moment later, when someone knocked on his office door.
After composing himself, Bojielun said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Evans walked in.
The young man, a mathematics graduate of the École Normale Supérieure, wore the same astonished expression. "Mr. Bojielun, I just received an email from Peter Scholze. He said..."
"He acknowledged the value of that paper, didn't he?"
Bojielun finished Evans's sentence for him.
"Y-Yes." Evans nodded. It seemed their editor-in-chief had already learned the news.
"I really never expected that paper to actually accomplish what we had originally speculated..."
Evans's face was full of excitement.
Although several weeks had passed, he still remembered many of the paper's details clearly. After all, it had rekindled his interest in researching Far Abelian Geometry. And now, it seemed that the paper had not disappointed all
