"Genius!"
"Genius!"
"Bravo!"
Applause rang through the conference hall for a long time.
All the attendees rose to their feet as they applauded, looking at the young man before the blackboard with admiration.
Various words of praise mingled with the applause.
They were applauding not only because Xiao Yi had ended this eight-year dispute, but also because of the mathematical talent he had displayed and his keen instinct for mathematics.
He had identified the most crucial issue before so many heavyweight mathematicians present.
Even if the main reason was that the crucial issue lay in the mathematical field of Far Abelian Geometry, which few people even understood, it still proved that this young man possessed mathematical intuition far beyond that of most people.
"It has been a long time since I last saw such a gifted young man. The last time was probably..."
In the first row, Pierre Deligne applauded as he spoke to Enrico Bombieri beside him.
Previously, his assessment had merely been "a little interesting," but now it had become "so gifted."
Enrico Bombieri smiled. "Isn't that gifted young man from last time standing onstage right now?"
Deligne paused, then looked at Schultz, who was also applauding onstage. He could not help but laugh and nod. "That's true."
This kid...
In one of the rows fairly close to the front, Hu Guangde stared at the young man onstage, his eyes slightly unfocused.
He had never imagined things would develop this way.
When he learned that Xiao Yi had received Schultz's invitation, he had thought he might as well bring him here to broaden his horizons and let him see what an international mathematics conference was like.
Yet after arriving, he discovered that the kid could even get a seat near the front, making him inwardly remark that
