Regarding the "new things" Xiao Yi said, Xi Lan and Hu Guangde were full of doubts.
But when they wanted to ask, they saw Xiao Yi yawning, so they finally gave up asking, and instead told him to go to bed and have a good rest.
After seeing off the two academicians, Xiao Yi yawned again.
"Ha~huh, I only slept for four hours last night. I need to rest for another three hours."
After looking at the time, Xiao Yi thought in his mind.
"However, the late night last night was definitely worth it."
So many days of hard work are all worth it.
After receiving the email from James·Professor Maynard about eight days ago, Xiao Yi's inspiration began to explode, so every day that followed, he devoted all his energy to the research on the combination of Far Abelian Geometry and Automorphic Forms.
Until the most critical step was reached three days ago, he could not leave the door or take another step. He sat in front of this table for almost the whole day and never left. It was almost five o'clock in the morning today when he fell asleep.
Sitting back at the desk, he sorted out the draft papers on the desk one by one, and finally stacked them neatly in a pile.
There are almost thirty pieces of paper in total, which condenses all his inspiration and thinking in the past ten days.
The answers to the questions are all condensed in these thirty pieces of paper.
I opened the Warwick laptop in front of me. After unlocking it, I saw a browser filled with windows filled with various papers and materials.
But, now they can all be closed.

But before going to bed, he suddenly remembered that James·Professor Maynard had not replied to him since he received the last email.
Please reply to Professor Maynard first.
Thinking of this, he reopened his mailbox and replied to Professor Maynard.
[Sorry, Professor Maynard, I was inspired by your email some time ago, so I have been in a state of research. The reply to this letter is a bit late, and I apologize to you.
However, I have solved all the problems and you will see my good news soon!]
Hit send and go to bed!
United Kingdom, Oxford University.
"Congratulations, Richman, you passed your doctoral graduation defense. After discussion in the college, it has been decided to grant you a doctorate in mathematics!"
"Congratulations!"
In a small classroom, Richman walked up to James·Maynard with excitement, and received the certificate representing his doctorate from the hands of his tutor.
He bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Professor! Thank you for all your help to me!"
"You deserve this. We all know that after hard work, you will always get corresponding rewards, right?" Maynard patted Richman with a smile and said.
"Yes!" Richman nodded heavily.
Maynard also sighed slightly, feeling that he had once again sent away a doctoral student.
He is only thirty-three years old this year and has not taught many doctoral students. He is still very happy to see Richman graduate.
However, according to the normal process, Richman's graduation defense was not so fast. Everything changed because of the email sent by the talented boy from China.
The problem is...
That guy named Xiao Yi, why haven't you replied to his email today?
Thinking of this, his heart became resentful.
Even when it was his first time submitting a paper to Mathematics Four Top Journals and expecting the editorial department to reply to him via email saying "the paper was accepted", he did not do what he had done these past few days. He had to check whether the other party had replied to him almost every day.
That boy, won't he forget to reply to him?
For a moment, he wanted to go back and check his mailbox.
So he said to Richman and asked him to celebrate with his friends, and he left the classroom directly and returned to the office.
I hurriedly opened the mailbox and took a look.
A new email has been received.
His eyes widened immediately, he quickly clicked in, and finally saw the familiar sender.
It's the email from Xiao Yi!
I finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up.
Maynard burst into tears.
Sure enough, after hard work, corresponding results will always be achieved!
However, when he saw the content of the email, he froze again.
"Have all problems been solved? What problems have been solved??"
"Is it the mysterious functor mentioned by Grothendieck, or is it a combination of Far Abelian Geometry and Automorphic Forms?"
Maynard is frantically wanting to know the answer.
"It's impossible to prove the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, right?!"
However, no matter how he shaped the words in the email Xiao Yi, he could not figure out between the lines what problem Xiao Yi solved.
For a moment, his heart felt like it was scratching an itch.
No way, if he only solved the mysterious functor problem raised by Grothendieck, he wouldn't care so much, but what if Xiao Yi solved the problem of combining Far Abelian Geometry and Automorphic Forms?
As a Analytic Number Theory expert, he really wants to know the answer to this question, just like his character, "If you don't do one, you won't stop."
When he first started his PhD studies, his advisor told him not to study prime numbers or he would become unlucky.
But he still chose to challenge this peak, so he accidentally made a lot of achievements.
Now, faced with something that might be considered a big deal for the entire number theory, he certainly wanted to know the answer.
First, he sent an email to Xiao Yi, asking him what "all the problems" he mentioned were. However, after receiving no reply for a long time, he began to search everywhere on the Internet.
For example, look on arxiv to see if there is a paper about Xiao Yi, or even search it on Chinese websites.
Finally, he really found the news related to Xiao Yi.
"Tomorrow, Xiao Yi will hold a report meeting in China?!!"
"It's definitely too late to rush to China now."
Maynard thought for a moment, then immediately took out his mobile phone and called a Chinese professor in their college.
Although he couldn't go to the scene to watch it in person, even if he was watching the live broadcast, he still wanted to see what Xiao Yi would say at the report meeting!
However, he seemed to have forgotten that when Xiao Yi gave a report in the country, he definitely did not use English.
September 26th arrived as scheduled.
At the door of Chinese Academy of Sciences Basic Science Park, some young people will get out of the car from time to time and look at a huge poster placed at the door with a longing expression.
On the poster is Xiao Yi, and the topic of his report today.
"Abc conjecture, Far Abelian Geometry, and Automorphic Forms"
