Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 112: Champagne

　　For a novel theory, especially in one's own field of study, everyone's first reaction must be scepticism, and after that, questioning will follow. As for acceptance or even appreciation, it was the last thing.

　　Looking at the audience's reaction, Orion knew that he was halfway there.

　　He was certain that at least half of the people had understood the theory of Group Construct.

　　As for the remaining half, it didn't matter if they understood it or not.

　　He just had to make sure that a quarter of the people would eventually understand it, as well as the reviewers who would be peer-reviewing his paper, and the core purpose of the presentation would be achieved.

　　Taking a deep breath, Orion turned the PowerPoint to the next page.

　　Next up was the proof of Goldbach's Conjecture.

　　But at this point, he was much more relaxed.

　　When a tool is born, it is only a matter of time before it fulfils its mission.

　　And what he had to do next was just such a thing.

　　Attracting the eyeballs and heartbeats of all the listeners, the laser pointer in Orion's hand directed to the screen, and the PPT continued to be projected.

　　[Let N represent a sufficiently large even number, and let Px(1, 1) be the number of prime numbers p that satisfy N = p1 + p2. Order Cn={∏p|x, p2}(p-1)/(p-2){∏p2}(1-1/(p-1)^2), and let the finite group G=......]

　　[......]

　　With the beginning of this phase, the atmosphere in the lecture theatre was clearly pushed to a climax.

　　This atmosphere was brewing in a silent auditorium and at the tip of every pen stalled on a notepad. When the group construction method attacked the core of Goldbach's Conjecture, all the audience held their breath for fear of missing a single detail.

　　Staring unblinkingly at the screen, Maynard's pupils contracted slightly as he murmured in a whisper.

　　"Bombieri's theorem! So that's how ...... he really did it, unbelievable."

　　With one more key step, all the clues were disassembled, and the veins of each step were clear. As if the fog in front of him was lifted, a clear picture emerged.

　　As an expert in the field of prime numbers, he had the most profound and intuitive feelings.

　　Although, this moment was not what he expected ......

　　Evan, who was sitting next to him, was in a daze. From the time of the group construction method, the young man from England had given up and started to silently wait for the final result.

　　Now, listening to his mentor's words, presumably the proof came out?

　　Just a few days ago, Evan was still holding the blog post on his mentor's personal blog, and people on the forums were arguing about this matter, and swore that this presentation would eventually turn into a joke.

　　In the end, it seems that the shame is still his own ......

　　Sitting on the other side of the lecture theatre, Helfgott, who had been sitting there without moving, closed the note pad in his hand, a hint of approval emerging on his face.

　　Before coming here, he had already read Orion's paper at least ten times, and for the problems that existed in it, he had written them down one by one on the notebook, ready to wait until the question session to ask about them.
