I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 472: The result of the two-month quarrel between the judges

Xu Qingzhou was still at the opening ceremony. At this time, the Internet in Xia Country was already in an uproar.

"Awesome Karas, the only winner."

"Haha, a Xia countryman, why are you showing off your English at this time? Can't you be more confident?"

"You stupid troll, I'll go watch the replay later. They finished speaking in Chinese. For academic exchanges, it's easier to use professional terms in English. Is that a problem?"

"Oh my god, it's the Fields Medal, the boss is awesome!"

"Ah, newbie, what is the Fields Medal?"

"It's the Nobel Prize in mathematics. So far, this is the first winner from our country Xia."

"If I remember correctly, he is only 22 years old this year."

"Another day of making up the numbers in the world."

"Xu Shen is awesome!"

In reality, it is a mutton hotpot restaurant in the Changchunyuan Food Street of Kyoto University.

Five people sat around the table.

There was a tablet computer on the windowsill opposite them, on which was the live broadcast of Xu Qingzhou receiving the award.

The seats are Chen Shiqi, Xu Zhengyang, Kong Xianbo, Zhai Ziqiang, and Zhang Shuyi.

Two couples and one single person.

"Awesome, awesome! Come, let's toast to Mr. Xu!" Xu Zhengyang raised his glass.

"Respect to Mr. Xu."

"Respect to Mr. Xu!"

At Kyoto University, students returning from a date at night suddenly discovered that a banner had been hung up at the school gate at some point.

[Warm congratulations to our honorary professor Xu Qingzhou for winning the Fields Medal]

After seeing this banner, someone slapped his head and said, "Oh, by the way, there is a live broadcast of the Rio International Congress of Mathematicians today."

"Mr. Xu won the award, and he is the only winner this year." A passerby next door gave a spoiler.

"Fuck, it's God Xu indeed!"

In the mathematics department office, four people gathered in front of a computer.

"Yeah!"

Gu Zhizhong looked at the young man on the screen with tears in his eyes. This kid had fulfilled the dream of many generations of mathematical researchers.

Behind him, two new graduate students had admiration on their faces.

On the side, Meng Bin was filled with emotion.

Four years ago, I met Junior Brother Xu in this office.

Just as I thought when we first met, it would be strange if I wasn't crushed by this junior brother.

At the same time, in the land of Xia Kingdom, pride rose in the hearts of countless people.

Rio de Janeiro.

“The proof of the Riemann hypothesis is not the end, but the beginning of the eye of the storm. When our encryption system collapses, when quantum computers redefine ‘randomness’, and when physicists call for a new mathematical language in superstring theory, I hope that one day in the future, young people will stand here and say: ‘Look, this old man’s theorem is just the first chapter of our textbook.’”

"."

In the corner, Amir, who had always regarded Xu Qingzhou as his opponent, sighed.

Reasonable, unexpected.

After Mori Shigefumi finished speaking, there was only one winner, and everyone knew who it was.

But given this man's achievements, there seems to be nothing wrong with the International Congress of Mathematicians changing its convention.

Yes, every mathematician’s contribution to mathematics is indispensable and is the eternal achievement of human rational civilization. However, in terms of utilitarian social benefits and academic value, there has never been such a direct crushing situation. A complete crushing.

Before Xu Qingzhou solved the Riemann hypothesis, everyone could accept this gap to some extent. As for now, to make an analogy, it is like an academician participating in a selection with a group of kindergarten children.

Not on the same level.

No matter which choice you make, it will be abrupt, just like a straight line in three-dimensional space and a hypersurface in four-dimensional manifold - they seem close, but in fact they cannot coexist in the same coordinate system.

Therefore, when Mori Shigefumi proposed that Xu Qingzhou was the only winner, there was only one word in everyone's mind: well-deserved!
Having had such an opponent was also lucky in another way. At least, I had a formidable opponent in my life.

On the stage.

"At this moment, this medal belongs to every anonymous colleague who shared a preprint on arXiv, and to every mathematical researcher who gave me ideas."

Xu Qingzhou paused slowly, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Friends, what I want to say is that mathematics is never a monologue of genius, but an ensemble of human stars."

The three-minute acceptance speech is over.

Xu Qingzhou walked off the stage amid applause and returned to his seat.

Next, the Secretary-General of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) gave a report, informing about the composition of the award committee of this conference, the process of selecting conference speakers, etc.

Xu Qingzhou moved closer to Song Yao, squeezed her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't he handsome?"

"good."

Song Yao felt that she couldn't let this man get too proud. Although, she seemed to have no resistance to the way this man looked in a suit, if she were in a different environment, she would definitely pull him over and give him a few sips.

It’s exciting to think about bullying Xu Qingzhou who is wearing a suit.

“That’s super cool.”

Xu Qingzhou smiled faintly, he had already seen the flash of passion in the arrogant ghost's calm eyes, it was obvious that he liked it.

Next are two special sessions.

First, we paid tribute to the late mathematician, and then we moved on to the Brazilian culture display.

The morning opening ceremony ended at 11: local time.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu."

Shigefumi Mori and members of the Mathematics Alliance came over to congratulate him.

"Thank you, thank you for the medal awarded by the International Mathematical Union." Xu Qingzhou responded with a smile.

Mori Shigefumi smiled and said, "Because of you, the jury has been arguing for two months. You know, some old-fashioned people are not willing to break the old rules."

"It seems that I won in the end."

"It's obvious."

Just after the greetings, Qin Yizhen and the Secretary General of the Mathematical Society, Chu Jiangfeng, came over together.

Qin Yizhen's face was flushed with smiles. "Congratulations, Professor Xu! Your winning this award is not only a personal breakthrough, but also a historic moment for the mathematics community in Xiaguo! Professor Xu, we have waited for this day for too long."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Finally, I lived up to everyone's expectations."

Chu Jiangfeng had a proud look on his face and asked with a smile, "What are you going to research next?"

Xu Qingzhou said: "Condensed matter, I plan to look at superconducting films."

"Condensed matter, isn't that mathematics?" Tan Yizhen was stunned.

Xu Qingzhou nodded.

"You kid, you're still so unconventional," Chu Jiangfeng said helplessly.

Tan Yizhen also smiled and said, "Young people are full of energy, unlike us old guys who don't have the energy to do other things now."

Xu Qingzhou took a photo with Song Yao and the Mathematical Society delegation, and then went to the media center to be interviewed by global reporters. For him, the opening ceremony was completely over.

After the opening ceremony in the morning, registration for 21 mathematics sub-venues was opened and participants began to pre-register.
