Chapter 470： China needs a Fields Medal

Chapter 471 China needs a Fields Medal (seeking a monthly ticket!)

Egret International Hotel.

Although the forum was held on the 22nd, occupancy has been basically stopped since today, and only a small number of suites are open to the public.

From the moment they entered the hotel, Professor Broad and Xia Ning were attracted by the appearance and hall of the building built in the style of the Republic of China. There are many luxurious hotels, but this kind of architectural style with local characteristics is quite attractive. human.

Generally, as an entourage, they are in the same room as the invited scholars, that is, the standard room.

But Xia Ning is an associate professor after all, not a student. Chen Hao wanted to arrange two single rooms but was rejected.

"Thank you Principal Chen for his kindness, just arrange a standard room so that you can take care of the teacher." Xia Ning declined Chen Hao's kindness with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Hao nodded with a smile, watching Jiang Lin help lead the two to the room.

Famous teachers produce apprentices, what kind of teachers will have what kind of students.

A teacher with good ability and character will bring out the students who will inherit the other's advantages.

"Professor Xu, come, let me take you to your room."

"This is too much trouble for Principal Chen, I will do it myself."

"It's okay, I also live here, it's very convenient." Chen Hao didn't wait for Xu Chenyang to refuse, and took the suitcase from the other party and walked to the elevator, not caring if Xu Chenyang followed.

Xu Chenyang stood there watching Chen Hao's behavior, shook his head helplessly and smiled, feeling a little warm in his heart.

Chen Hao's attention to him can be felt, and he has a feeling that Uncle Liu asked Zhuge Liang to come out.

"Hey, Principal Chen, walk slowly, wait for me!"

Watching Chen Hao's figure go farther and farther, Xu Chenyang came back to his senses and quickly chased after him.

1024 Deluxe Ocean View King Room.

Chen Hao put the things in his hands on the table while babbling on the other side.

"Professor Xu, this is the conference manual. It contains information about the main venue of this China Forum, the schedule of the sub-venues and the content, as well as the transportation in Ludao area..."

"And this is a free self-service coupon for the hotel restaurant, from the 21st to the 24th, a total of 12 coupons for 4 days, the restaurant is on the 9th floor..."

"Finally, this is the ID card of the delegates of the forum. You must have this when you enter the venue from the 22nd to the 24th."

At the end, Chen Hao did not forget to remind, "Professor Xu, when you enter the venue backstage, remember to get a free gift package at the entrance with the admission card in the invitation letter."

Generally, large-scale academic conferences will have some free gifts, but Chen Hao specially mentioned it, indicating that there must be something different.

Xu Chenyang asked curiously, "Principal Chen, is there anything special about the gifts? Which sponsor is it?"

"Haha, this can't be said, anyway, there will be surprises at that time." Chen Hao shook his head and smiled mysteriously.

"Uh, okay." Xu Chenyang's expression froze. The free gifts are not all pens, handbooks, paper bags, etc. This can't be any trick, right?

"After more than 20 hours of flight, Professor Xu, are you tired too? It's still early. I'll invite everyone to a late-night snack later."

After saying hello to Xu Chenyang, Chen Hao left the room.

As soon as Chen Hao left, the tiredness on Xu Chenyang's face was directly revealed. He took a shower in the bathroom where the dry and wet were separated, and then went to the dressing room to change into pajamas. He was not interested in the invincible sea view from the balcony, so he just fell back and went to sleep.

…

After 11pm.

Chen Hao, Xu Chenyang, Broad, and Xia Ning took a taxi to a seafood stall.

"This food stall is the most authentic place on Ludao, and the seafood is also salvaged by fishermen that day, so it's very fresh!" Chen Hao smiled and led the three of them to sit at the table in the open air.

It is easier to narrow the distance in places like food stalls, and the open air is a little more comfortable than the box.

The business in the store is very hot. After ordering, the little guy reminded him to wait for about 20 minutes before the table is served. Chen Hao and the others didn't take it seriously, and the time would soon pass after chatting.

Chatting, Chen Hao suddenly remembered something, picked up his mobile phone and opened WeChat, and then said to Xu Chenyang: "Professor Xu, add a WeChat?"

"WeChat?" Xu Chenyang's expression froze, then apologetically said, "Sorry, I don't have WeChat."

"No WeChat???"

Chen Hao was stunned, who wouldn't have WeChat these days?

Seemingly seeing Chen Hao's doubts, Xu Chenyang took out the phone directly from his pocket and placed it gently on the table.

"I can't install these software on my phone." Xu Chenyang said with a wry smile.

Chen Hao looked over, isn't this an old machine? !

A famous mathematician is still using an old computer?

The reason cannot be because of poverty.

"Khan, why is Professor Xu?" Chen Hao was still confused.

When I was in the beautiful country, I met many famous scholars, some of them gray-haired old scientists refused to use smartphones because their ideas were old and they were against new things.

But Xu Chenyang was born in 1981 and is only 39 years old this year. Shouldn't his thinking be so conservative?

Xu Chenyang shook his head and explained quite seriously: "Because the current smart phone is too full of functions, it will affect my efficiency, I think it is good to use this, it is enough to be able to answer the phone, anyway, the usual academic exchanges are all about By email."

Professor Broad, who was on the side, agreed with deep conviction: "I agree with Professor Xu's point of view, now mobile phone application manufacturers are thinking of ways to make users spend more time using it, especially TikTok, which has seriously affected the The physical and mental health of young people in beautiful countries, this kind of software is simply a tumor!" At the end of the speech, Professor Broad sprayed the international version of Douyin angrily.

But Chen Hao couldn't help laughing and laughing. It seems that Douyin is not only killing young people in China, but also young people in Europe and America can't escape the clutches of Douyin.

"I think self-control is a limited resource, and everything we do every day and any decision we make consumes this limited resource."

Xu Chenyang continued, "Doing academic research is boring and tedious, no one dislikes easy and simple things, but such things will consume the self-control ability, and it will make it difficult for you to concentrate and decrease your concentration over time. , and even fell into an anxious and decadent mood for a long time.”

"Professor Xu is right." Chen Hao nodded in agreement.

The old man always said that you need to be self-disciplined and diligent, but in fact self-discipline is not an easy task, especially now that the mobile phone is fully functional, there are more temptations.

[Browsing Douyin, Playing Games, Watching Dramas] and [Browsing Questions, Reading Literature, Writing Papers], one is a relaxing leisure way, and the other is a boring way of learning.

These two categories allow people to choose, and there is no doubt that those who choose the former are the majority.

People always choose easy and easy things.

Many people think that successful people are very self-disciplined, but in fact, as long as they are people, they will face all kinds of temptations, even a famous mathematician like Xu Chenyang can't avoid it, so the other party directly blocked it from the source.

"Principal Chen, I'll add you." In the end, Xia Ning opened WeChat on her phone with a smile and swiped Chen Hao's WeChat.

After this discussion, BBQ and beer came up after a while.

Hu Tianhaidi chatted while eating.

Some girls who were also eating at food stalls were attracted by Chen Hao's good looks, and they were about to ask for WeChat, but when they approached, they heard the four of them happily discussing "The algebra of K-Stable Fano Variant Modular Spaces" "Theory", "Application of the Minimal Model Program in High Dimensions"...

's footsteps stopped immediately, his face changed from sunny to cloudy in an instant, he turned around and muttered "a group of neuroses" in a low voice, then turned and left.

The four of us enjoyed the meal, and Chen Hao was also very satisfied.

Adhering to the principle of drinking and not driving, and driving without drinking, I did not drive my own car when I went out this time, and directly asked the hotel to send a special car to pick it up.

By the time the four of them returned to the Egret Hotel, it was already more than 1 am.

When he was in the elevator, Chen Hao's voice suddenly sounded.

"Professor Xu, are you willing to miss the Philippine Award?"

"Principal Chen, I don't understand what you mean..."

"No, Professor Xu, you understand." Chen Hao glanced at Xu Chenyang and said softly.

The Philippines Award is the Fields Medal, which is selected every four years, and the winner must be under the age of 40 before New Year's Day of that year.

The last one was in 2018, which means the next one is in 2022.

Xu Chenyang is 39 years old this year.

Even if he won the "Cole Prize in Algebra", which is known as the Fields Medal Outpost Award, but because of his age, Xu Chenyang missed the Nobel Prize in mathematics even if he made a major breakthrough.

Xu Chenyang's expression did not change, but fell into silence.

He was upset.

Although it is said that academic research should be pure, the Nobel Prize and Fields Medal are honors that no scientist can refuse.

Just give him another 5 years... no, he can solve the "finite generative and abundant conjecture" problem in just 3 years.

But three years later, he also turned 42 years old and could no longer participate in the selection of the Fields Medal.

Chen Hao's voice was still ringing.

"There is no shortage of Chinese for the Fields Medal, but we in China need a Fields Medal."

"It's too late, it's too late." Xu Chenyang sighed, and there was an indescribable regret in his voice.

For a mathematician, if he can’t win the Fields Medal, it must be a missing symbol in the world of mathematics.

"No, it's too late." Chen Hao narrowed his eyes.

"In time?"

Xu Chenyang's pupils shrank, he turned around abruptly, and stared at Chen Hao.

"Professor Xu, you are older than you, but there are people who are not older." The corner of Chen Hao's mouth twitched, and the person he valued would definitely not be able to leave.

"Who?" Xu Chenyang asked anxiously.

"Lu Zhou."

…

In the dormitory building of Guanghua University, which is more than ten kilometers away from the Egret Hotel Lu Zhou, who was having a passionate debate with Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Gauss and others, suddenly had a nose. The itching was unbearable, and a sneeze woke him up.

"Who is thinking of me or scolds me?"

After muttering in dissatisfaction, Lu Zhou pulled the quilt up, closed his eyelids, and continued to fall asleep.

The bright moon is in the sky outside the window, and the silver light is pouring on the ground.

The evening breeze recklessly shuttled through the city streets, taking away dreams without names.

ps: This chapter has been written too much, so I will not separate it. The 3000-word chapter asks for a monthly pass! ! !

At the end of the month, if you don't vote, it will expire! The next chapter will be late.

Thank you [oRunaway Doudouo] for the 1500 starting point reward!

Thank you so much! I thought I had no grains today, thank you!
