Chapter 190 Animal Affinity
"I just proved the Poincare conjecture not long ago and am preparing to give a special speech at this conference," Huang Tunan reported.

"Oh? Is it the Poincare conjecture, one of the seven problems of the Millennium Mathematical Problems announced by the Clay Institute in the United States two years ago?" The leader was an engineering graduate and had excellent scientific literacy. He knew what it was as soon as Huang Tunan mentioned it.

"Yes, I used Ricci flow to change Richard Hamilton's geometrization method and finally solved the problem. I proved the conjecture that if all closed curves in a closed space can be shrunk to a point, then this space must be a sphere." Huang Tunan gave an affirmative answer.

According to the original history, Russian mathematician Perelman published two important papers in succession this year and next year, which basically proved this conjecture.

Now the proof process given by Huang Tunan is more detailed and meticulous, and he completed the proof of the Poincare conjecture with rigorous logic.

The leader was both delighted and a little disappointed. "Fermat's Last Theorem and the Poincare Conjecture are both Fields Medal-worthy achievements. It's a pity you won them a long time ago. The Fields Medal isn't like the Nobel Prize, which can be won multiple times. Otherwise, you could have won at least three Fields Medals."

"Academician Huang has also won the Wolf Prize, the highest award in mathematics. Last year, I heard that the Norwegian government decided to establish the Abel Prize to commemorate the bicentennial of the birth of the famous Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel. This award is very prestigious and has the potential to become an important award on par with the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize. Academician Huang should be able to win it, right?"

"Maybe." Huang Tunan said modestly. In fact, with his achievements over the years, it can be said that winning the Abel Prize is a certainty. He may even become the first mathematician in history to win all three major awards.

"Then let me say congratulations in advance. When you receive the award and return home, I'll host a banquet to celebrate for you." The leader made an appointment with Huang Tunan in advance, and then asked a question that everyone was concerned about: "After solving the Poincare conjecture, what research do you plan to pursue?"

Huang Tunan shook his head. "I haven't made any plans yet. I'm temporarily shifting my focus to cultivating young mathematicians. I've recently discovered some very promising newcomers at Soochow University, including Yun Zhiwei from Changzhou, Xu Chenyang from Chongqing, and Zhang Wei from Dazhou. They're all very promising students with exceptional talent in specific areas. If they're nurtured, they have a good chance of winning the Fields Medal in the future."

Since Huang Tuanan won the Fields Medal, the country has increased its investment in the Department of Mathematics at Soochow University, and has also attracted a large number of foreign scholars to come for exchanges. Domestic talented young mathematicians are also keen to apply for the Department of Mathematics at Soochow University. This has allowed the Department of Mathematics at Soochow University to gradually surpass Peking University and become the best mathematics department in the country. The above three people are potential stocks discovered by the Department of Mathematics at Soochow University in recent years.

"Okay, okay. I hope to hear good news from them in the near future." The leader was very happy. The fact that only Huang Tunan won the Fields Medal could only prove his personal ability. If there were multiple winners, it would mean that China's mathematical research had undergone a qualitative change. For someone like him, the latter was obviously more worthy of celebration.

On the day of the conference, the leaders attended the meeting in person and, together with mathematicians from all over the world, listened to Huang Tunan talk about his process of proving the Poincare conjecture.

After the explanation, there was a brief silence, and then everyone stood up and celebrated this great achievement with warm applause. The applause lasted for more than ten minutes.

That evening, the hourly news devoted a lengthy segment to this achievement, broadcasting it to audiences nationwide. Many of Huang Tunan's close friends saw it. At Soochow University, Huang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe, married with children and currently teaching there, were envious. "Brother Tunan is truly amazing! We both need to work harder and strive to publish more articles in Nature and Science."

Xiang Pengfei was watching TV in a villa. These villas were all designed by I.M. Pei himself. They combined typical Soviet architectural style with modern architectural elements. They not only retained the core of Soviet architecture, but also allowed the owners to enjoy the convenience of modern technology.

A few years ago, he made a lot of money under the guidance of Huang Tunan, so he found a place with beautiful scenery and bought a piece of land. It happened that Huang Tunan was giving a lecture tour at American universities at that time and met I.M. Pei. He came up with the idea of ​​asking I.M. Pei to help with the design. I.M. Pei readily agreed, and thus these villas came into being.

Now Huang Tuanan's family, Huang Xiaoting's family, Xiang Pengfei's family and Lin Wufeng's family all live here. The families live in harmony and their lives are enviable.

Zhuang Chaoying also saw this scene. He has now returned from the northwest. He has lived alone in a nursing home since his retirement. Thinking back on what he did in the past, Zhuang Chaoying felt extremely regretful, but it was useless to say anything now.

The old couple died in poverty more than ten years ago. Zhuang Ganmei was laid off and had a hard time. Zhendong and Zhenbei failed to get into university and couldn't find a good job, so they just hung out with some people. Now they have to stay in jail for a few days every few days. Zhuang Ganmei and his wife sold their old house for their children, but just after the sale, news of the demolition came out. They went back to make trouble several times, but it was a pity that it was of no use. Now they can only live a miserable life in the old and dilapidated house.

As soon as they saw Huang Tunan appear on TV again, they started arguing as usual. If they hadn't made such a fuss at the beginning, maybe they could have lived in a big villa and enjoyed life like other people?
After the conference, Huang Tunan returned to Suzhou and celebrated with his family. After eating and drinking, he returned to the bedroom. As soon as he lay down on the bed, the system prompt sounded in his mind. This world has temporarily ended and he is about to go to a new world.

This time is the same as before. He can return to this world at any time during the intervals between missions. If he goes to the future world in the future, he may be able to gain more mathematical knowledge. In this way, his status in the history of mathematics can continue to improve.

Not knowing what he would draw this time, Huang Tunan rubbed his hands, and the lottery wheel started spinning again. After a while of flashing, the pointer finally landed on animal affinity.

This ability allows Huang Tunan to easily gain the trust of animals, feel the emotional changes of some animals, and guide them to help him do something.

This is a good ability, Huang Tunan is very satisfied.

After spending a few days with his family, Huang Tunan left this world. He first went to the world of "The Road of Life" to hold a few parties before choosing to enter the new world.
