Chapter 111: I was never worried

　　Two o'clock.

　　Orion, dressed in a suit, walked onto the podium, and the lecture hall, which was originally a bit noisy due to the exchanging of words, fell silent in a moment.

　　A pair of eyes stared at the person on the podium, either sceptical, expectant, or expressionless.

　　Orion, who was standing on the podium, had a calm expression, not the least bit nervous because of the pressure 'transmitted by those pairs of eyes'.

　　What's more, it wasn't the first time he had faced this kind of occasion.

　　"Thank you all for travelling from all over the world to Princeton to hear the report of my research results on Goldbach's Conjecture."

　　Following the customary acknowledgement of the scholars invited to hear the presentation, Orion began to state his process for this presentation.

　　"The content of my presentation will be divided into two parts, one is about the group construction method I used in proving Goldbach's Conjecture, and the other is about the proof of Goldbach's Conjecture."

　　"I believe that you have all read my thesis before coming here. For the long and tedious steps in the paper, I will abbreviate them in the PPT. And about my explanation, it will mainly focus on the two aspects of the key steps as well as the ideas and thoughts."

　　"Also, I will leave as much time as possible, for the question session."

　　Previewing a presenter's paper before the start of an academic presentation is both customary and a necessary courtesy in academia. It would be considered rude and unprofessional to stand up and ask questions that are either on the paper or irrelevant when it comes to the question session.

　　For the great minds in the room, such questions will naturally not come up.

　　After the opening remarks, Orion went straight to the point.

　　"The so-called group construction method is short for 'the overall structure study method of group theory', and its core idea is to use the concept of cyclic groups to study the problem of infinity from a holistic perspective. Based on the theorem that the multiplicative group of integers modulo p is always a cyclic group, we can get ......"

　　While explaining, Orion's laser pointer wanders across the white curtain.

　　[...... Let there be a finite group G and |G| = p1α1p2α2 - - piαi, where pi is a prime number and αi is a positive integer. Let p ∈ π(G), define deg(p) = |{q ∈ π(G)|p~q)|

　　Then define C(G) = ......]

　　Compared to the second half of the proof of Goldbach's Conjecture, the theory of the group construction method is more crucial, because only by understanding this part, people sitting in the lecture hall and listening to him can understand what exactly is the work that he has done.

　　Therefore, Orion explained this part of the content in great detail, as much as possible to make every point clear.

　　And the people sitting there, both the invited scholars and the uninvited students, listened attentively.

　　Especially James Maynard, sitting in the middle of the venue with his arms wrapped around him, listened with great attention.

　　As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and he, who also researches the problem of prime numbers, is the leader in the field of analytic number theory among the new generation of British mathematicians. It can be said that he travelled all the way from the UK to come here just to pick holes in his competitors.
