Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 120: International patent granted

　　When Orion picked up the phone, he had already seen the Dean kent who was on the phone, as well as the banner that several students had pulled up at the entrance of the airport.

　　[Congratulations, Gordon university student and professor of mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Orion, solved the world's problem, Goldbach's Conjecture, and won the Crafoord Prize in Mathematics!]

　　This time the banner was a bit longer, and not only the president of Gordon university and the Dean kent of the college of mathematics were here, Orion even saw the mayor of Gordon city, as well as some people in suits who smiled and greeted him, but whom he had never met before.

　　"Professor Orion, you have brought such a great honour to our Gordon University, to our College of Mathematics, on behalf of the entire staff and students at Gordon university, I would like to say thank you!"

　　Orion smiled modestly and said, "I am just doing what I should do as a scholar."

　　Without too much delay at the airport, Orion quickly got into the special car sent by the school to pick him up.

　　After a few pleasantries, Dean Kent cleared his throat and spoke in an enquiring tone.

　　"...... It's like this, after discussions between our university and the institution, we would like to award you the title of Honorary Professor, I wonder if you are interested?"

　　Honorary professors were different from visiting professors and special professors, the former was merely an honourary title, while the latter two were work contracts with fixed terms and teaching positions.

　　With Gordon University's reputation and historical heritage, the title of Honorary Professor definitely suited Orion's status, and being able to make his alma mater proud of his name was a matter of pride in itself.

　　Orion smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem, but the procedures won't take too long, right? I have to return to Jordon City in a couple of days."

　　Soon Trista would be taking the college entrance exam, and if it took too long, he preferred to wait until before he went back to the United States to do it.

　　He had taken more than a month's leave with the Princeton side this time, so he had plenty of time.

　　Dean Kent chuckled and said, "It won't take long, the relevant procedures are already prepared. We can award you the certificate of honorary professor along with your degree after your presentation!"

　　Hearing this, Orion smiled and nodded, " Please take care of it then."

　　There was still a presentation to be given in the afternoon.

　　Arriving at Gordon University's old campus, Orion straightened his chest tie and entered the historically rich auditorium with his head held high.

　　The presentation, naturally, was on Goldbach's Conjecture.

　　Like in Sweden, this is also a large auditorium with a thousand people, and when the lecture started, the auditorium was full. Orion, who had already experienced it once, seemed calm and skilful this time.

　　By the time the lecture was halfway through, many people had tears in their eyes.

　　From the "group construction method", they can see the shadow of the large sieve method, but also can see the hard work of the predecessors reborn in the new theory.

　　The large-sieve method has never come to an end, just as people in the past thought that the sieve theory created by Eratosthenes in Ancient Greece was irrevocable.
