The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

July 1990, Palo Alto, California, Varian Medical Systems, Inc.

This is an American high-tech company that is a global supplier of integrated radiotherapy equipment software and hardware, as well as key software and hardware for X-ray diagnostics.

Founded in 1948, the company is a leading global provider of diagnostic and treatment solutions for cancer and other major diseases.

Their medical technology team is enormous, and the company's profits are astonishing.

Today, at the headquarters of Varian Medical Systems, we welcomed a guest: Levin Burns, a shareholder of New Brown Bank and the current CEO of Paramount.

This person sat in the conference room and went straight to the point, requesting the purchase of a medical linear accelerator, and demanding immediate delivery.

The request delighted the head of Varian Medical Systems, but he appeared troubled.

“Mr. Burns, I need to be frank with you about something: a medical linear accelerator is not an ordinary piece of equipment. It contains many components, and we simply cannot pack it up and have you transport it in such a short time.”

“Money is not a problem. If you can’t do it, then I don’t mind going to Raytek Medical Technology Co., Ltd.”

In the field of medical devices, Varian Medical Systems and Raytheon Medical Technology are absolute rivals.

Because both are American companies, they have been competing with each other for many years.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge turned pale with anger.

But in order to secure the order, he had to suppress his anger.

Even if Levin Burns cannot procure products from Raytheon Medical Technology, they can still seek out Elekta and Siemens in Europe.

There are two high-tech companies in Europe that produce medical linear accelerators. Together with Varian and Raytheon Medical Technology, they are known as the four giants in the medical technology industry, or the F4.

Taking a deep breath, the head of Varian Medical Systems put on a smile again and said:
“Okay, if you’re really in such a hurry, then the deal can be completed for $350 million.”

Levin Burns immediately shook his head and said:

"Although we are in a hurry, that's no reason for you to ask for such a high price. It was only 230 million US dollars before, and now you dare to ask for 350 million US dollars? Heh, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Two hundred and fifty million US dollars. If that's acceptable, we can sign the contract now. If not, I'll go to Raytek Medical Technology Company to sign the contract now."

Spending over 200 million yuan to buy such a medical linear accelerator is indeed not very worthwhile.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

What were linear accelerators used for before?
That's Miss Qiu's raw material processing equipment.

Therefore, the technology behind this device is extremely advanced, and there are only a handful of companies in the world that can manufacture such cutting-edge medical equipment.

So there was really no other way.

This money has to be paid!

The head of Varian Medical Systems was quite frustrated, but less than ten minutes after Levin Burns left, he called him and asked him to come back to sign the contract.

Deal done!

All the equipment for the medical linear accelerator will be packed up immediately and then transported to the airport.

Nobody knows where the plane will fly, because it's a private jet.

To avoid being seen, the plane will make stopovers in London, Paris, and Berlin.

The goods will eventually be left overnight in Berlin.

The next day, a plane will take off from a small airport in Dame Priwald, a small town near Berlin.

The goods were then transported to Paris.

In Paris, another private plane will transport the equipment to Hong Kong Island.

The Berlin area is relatively chaotic these days.

Therefore, by transferring these devices here in Berlin, they can completely avoid being noticed by everyone.

Then delete all the data, and since it's a nighttime flight, it'll be even less likely to attract attention.

All of these devices will arrive in the capital on the fourth day.

From the time Wang Duoyu issued the order to the arrival of the medical linear accelerator in Beijing, the entire process took no more than six days.

That's the beauty of money.

"What? The medical linear accelerator has been transported back? And it's at the Capital International Airport right now?"

The head of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was completely stunned after receiving the notification.

It seems they made the request about six days ago.
Has it already been processed?
Wang Duoyu is so efficient!

Regardless, they have already happily sent people to the airport to transport all the equipment back, and then started to gather technicians to install it.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital has already built a new hospital in the suburbs.

This new hospital was originally intended to house the medical linear accelerator.

However, the negotiations between Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Varian Medical Systems regarding the procurement have been delayed for two or three years with no new progress.

As a result, Wang Duoyu bought the equipment in less than a week.

It was so terrifying.

Therefore, once the equipment is delivered, it can be installed and debugged immediately.

Of course, this definitely required a technician, and Wang Duoyu helped solve that problem.

Because Levin Burns simply pulled out a dozen or so checks and poached more than a dozen technical engineers from Varian Medical Systems.

These people also arrived in Beijing along with the equipment.

After they finish the installation, they will stay and live at the Magic Research Institute in Ice City, and their wives and children will be brought to live with them.

Seeing how perfectly Wang Duoyu had arranged everything, the doctors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital knew that they absolutely had to do a good job with the surgery they were performing on Wang Junkang this time.

Subsequent arrangements must also be made to completely eliminate the cancer cells in Wang Junkang's body.

There must be absolutely no sequelae or other complications.

Even the most skilled doctors cannot guarantee that there will be no complications or sequelae after treatment, especially for such common cancers, they are equally unable to do so.

Moreover, Peking Union Medical College Hospital has had few successful cases in diagnosing neuroblastoma and other cancers in the past.

Most of them have long-term effects, and the proportion is relatively high.

However, Wang Junkang's condition this time is relatively mild, only in the middle stage, not in the middle or late stage.

Therefore, with current surgical techniques, radiotherapy, and various drug treatments, it should be possible to avoid similar sequelae.

The day after the medical linear accelerator equipment arrived in Beijing, Wang Junkang's health was also at its best, and he was ready to begin surgery.

Wang Duoyu, Liu Xiaoli, Wang Meihe, and others were waiting anxiously outside the operating room, but all they could do was wait patiently and quietly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. The third son will definitely come out safely."

Beside her, Liu Xiaoli sat on a chair in the corridor, staring at the operating room door, while the two sisters, Wang Meili and Wang Meihe, comforted her from either side.

Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, Xue Lisheng, and the others stood beside Wang Duoyu.

Lee Efra and his fellow executives were persuaded to leave by Wang Duoyu on their second day in Beijing.

They are foreigners after all; as long as their intentions are there, there's no need for them to stay in Beijing indefinitely.

As for Xue Lisheng and his relatives from the Wang family, Wang Duoyu couldn't persuade them to stop, so he simply ignored them.

Wang Junkang's illness this time reflects many problems.

Although Wang Duoyu did not inform them, Wang Meili and the others quickly found out the situation through their own means.

Back in their hometown, Wang Shoucheng and Wang Duozhi heard about this and sent representatives over, instead of all of them coming.

After all, there is still a lot of work to be done back in my hometown.

However, Wang Duoyu also sent the people from his hometown back home the next day.

Staying in the capital is pointless; it won't be of any help anyway. It's better to go back.

"I've never felt time drag on so slowly."

Staring at the operating room door, Wang Duoyu's eyes were already bloodshot.

That was his son after all, and he was very worried.

He used to think time flew by, but now every second feels like an eternity.

Wang Yifei and her children are all in the No. 87 courtyard on Zhongguancun West Street, being looked after by Zheng Baoyin's wife, so there's no need to worry about them.

Time passes second by second, and even the most unbearable time will eventually pass.

"Are you all hungry? Go and get something to eat," Wang Duoyu suddenly turned to Zheng Baoyin and the others and said.

But they were persuaded in return.

"I'm not hungry, you guys go ahead, and I can't eat anything anyway."

Wang Duoyu shook his head and refused.

Zheng Baoyin and the others felt helpless. Looking at Liu Xiaoli, who was getting thinner and thinner, and Wang Duoyu, who had lost a lot of weight, they felt even more distressed.

We can only hope that the doctors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in the operating room can successfully complete the surgery and bring Wang Junkang back healthy.

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the operating room door was pushed open.

Two nurses came out, hurriedly said that the surgery was still in progress and that they had something to do, and then left in a hurry. A short while later, they ran back into the operating room.

Liu Xiaoli rushed forward immediately, and her heart jumped again when she saw what was happening.

Hearing the nurses' words, Wang Duoyu's heart sank.

I hope everything's alright!

I silently prayed, and then another long wait began.

When the operating room doors were pushed open again, this time it was finally the doctors who came out.

Wang Duoyu and the others rushed forward. The doctor knew they were in a hurry, so he spoke immediately:

"Professor Wang, the cleanup was very successful. We have conducted three checks and confirmed that it has been completely removed."

"But she'll need to stay in the ICU for another week; we'll need to observe her for that long."

Wang Duoyu expressed his understanding of this.

If there are no major problems, that would indeed be better.

Cancer cells are indeed very difficult to completely eliminate.

Moreover, Wang Junkang suffers from neuroblastoma, the king of childhood cancers, which is extremely difficult to treat.

Therefore, it is only with the help of various means that it is possible to completely eradicate it.

However, Wang Duoyu believes that perhaps after some time, a medical linear accelerator could be used for treatment.

Of course, he didn't want to need to use this device again; he just hoped that his third child would have a complete success after just one surgery.

This diagnosis comes from a joint consultation of the top doctors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

Wang Duoyu believed that their surgery was definitely among the best in the world.

He did read some medical books a few days ago, but how could he possibly accomplish anything with just last-minute cramming?

It's just psychological comfort.

"That's good, thank you doctor, thank you doctor!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Ms. Liu. This is what we should do."

After the doctor finished speaking, he nodded to Wang Duoyu and then left.

"Xiaoli, let's go eat first." Wang Duoyu felt sorry for her, but she shook her head, indicating that she wanted to stay here with Lao San.

Wang Duoyu: “.”

Since that's the case, he can only stay here for the time being and ask Zheng Baoyin and the others to bring him food.

Xue Lisheng and the others wanted to persuade them further, but Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli didn't want to leave, so for the time being, they could only leave it at that.

Over the next few days, the doctors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital worked diligently to complete their tasks.

Wang Junkang, who was staying in the ICU, was being taken very well.

But as the old saying goes, illness strikes like a landslide.

Moreover, Wang Junkang is only a four-year-old child.
So he was indeed very weak at that moment, and his face was much paler.

Liu Xiaoli and Wang Duoyu felt very sorry for him, but they could only try their best to comfort him with words and encourage the little guy not to be afraid.

Wang Junkang is indeed strong; he hasn't cried even once in all these days.

I don't know if he doesn't understand his illness, or if he's just a bit heartless.

But to be fair, the fact that the child didn't cry at all, but instead comforted Liu Xiaoli and Wang Duoyu, was something the couple hadn't expected.

Time is passing slowly.

At different times each day, the doctor always told me that the test results were good after the examination.

Therefore, it seems that the third child's illness can be cured.

As time went on, Wang Duoyu had to leave Beijing and return to Harbin to prepare for the upcoming Mathematicians' Congress.

Judging by the timeline, it's estimated that quite a few mathematicians have already arrived in Harbin.

This year's Congress of Mathematicians is quite different from previous ones. Basically, most of the leading figures in the mathematics community who haven't appeared for many years have come out as long as they are still able to move around.

"Xiaoli, I need to go back to Bingcheng first. You'll have to take care of Lao San."

In mid-to-late July, Wang Duoyu received another call from Liu Deben.

Although the latter did not urge him, the meaning behind his words was quite clear.

After Wang Junkang's condition gradually stabilized, Wang Duoyu should indeed return to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Instead of staying in the capital.

After all, Wang Duoyu wasn't a doctor, and staying in the capital wouldn't be of much help.

On the contrary, Harbin Institute of Technology does have many matters that require his attention.

"Okay, I can take good care of the third brother. You can go back to work now."

Liu Xiaoli no longer looks so haggard, because her third child's condition is now relatively stable.

Seeing this, Wang Duoyu nodded and said:
"Well, Sisi and the others can stay here with you. There's no one to take care of them if they come back with me."

After the couple made their arrangements, Wang Duoyu prepared to leave.

Just then, Liu Xiaoli suddenly grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking down at Liu Xiaoli in his arms, Wang Duoyu had a feeling that something was wrong with her.

But Liu Xiaoli just shook her head, while her little hands hugged him tightly.

Some time ago, when Wang Duoyu was collecting medical books, Zhu Ling personally visited him.

However, Wang Duoyu was busy reading medical books at the time and didn't have time for these things.

All the medical books were handed over to Wang Duoyu in the study by Yuan Zuliang, rather than Wang Duoyu receiving them himself.

Therefore, Zhu Ling actually only saw Wang Duoyu in the study through Yuan Zuliang.

The latter simply nodded in thanks and did not engage in conversation.

At the time, Liu Xiaoli was at the hospital taking care of her third child and had no idea about this.

I only found out about this afterward.

Even though many years have passed, Zhu Ling rarely visits, and even when she does come to visit Wang Junhong, she rarely chats with Wang Duoyu.

Moreover, Liu Xiaoli's position is now as stable as Mount Tai.

Even without that page of paper, her position in Wang Duoyu's heart would not be jeopardized.

Most importantly, Wang Duoyu's heart is devoted to scientific research, and he spends far more time working than with Liu Xiaoli and their children.

It seems that he eats all three meals with Liu Xiaoli and the others, but at other times, Wang Duoyu is rarely seen, except when he is sleeping.

Liu Xiaoli was very pleased that Wang Duoyu handled his relationship with Zhu Ling so well this time.

If she hadn't been worrying about and taking care of the third child recently, she would have talked to Wang Duoyu about this a long time ago.

Okay, you need to take care of yourself too, and don't overthink things.

After giving her a few more words of advice, Wang Duoyu let go of her.

Liu Xiaoli didn't bother him anymore, but just watched him leave with tender eyes.

"Dad, I will take good care of Mom and Third Brother. Remember to think of me, okay?"

At the entrance, Wang Yifei was told that she had to stay in Beijing, while her father was going back to Harbin ahead of time. The little girl gave her instructions in a very mature tone, which amused Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli.

Even Wang Junkang, lying in his hospital bed, couldn't help but smile. Half a day later, Wang Duoyu returned home after being away for nearly two months.

He had barely put his luggage down when Liu Deben and his group arrived.

On the sofa in the reception area of ​​the villa's study, Lü Gongliang was reporting on matters.

"The conference will start in five days, but two days ago, the two five-star hotels near our school were already more than half full."

"The mathematics delegations from the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, South Africa, India, Japan, and other countries all arrived within a span of less than two days, as if they had arranged it in advance."

"In the past few days, they have spontaneously organized several exchanges in the hotel's conference hall."

The Weizigou Campus is currently the main campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, where all undergraduate students are located.

The old campus is mainly for master's and doctoral students, as well as other research institutions.

Most international research conferences, conferences, and exchange activities are held at the Weizigou campus.

It's just because the Weizigou campus is more spacious, with several large auditoriums.

Furthermore, the two five-star hotels near the school gate are both over thirty stories high, with numerous indoor conference halls for 500, 1,000, and 2,000 people.

These types of halls can meet different meeting needs.

For example, many foreign companies such as Motorola, Apple, and Nintendo come here to book rooms, meeting rooms, and so on.

It's not just because these two five-star hotels are new and offer excellent service, but also because their facilities are state-of-the-art.

Harbin Institute of Technology's latest equipment is usually applied to these two five-star hotels as soon as possible.

For example, projectors, large-screen devices, speakers, sound insulation and noise reduction equipment, etc.

Many large conference rooms have excellent soundproofing, reaching aviation-grade standards.

For example, the noise reduction equipment improved by Pioneer Technology, which is actually used in passenger aircraft, can now also be used in five-star hotels.

Therefore, many companies prefer to choose these two hotels for meetings with 2,000 or fewer people.

Harbin Institute of Technology's Weizigou campus also has such a conference hall, or more accurately, an auditorium.

However, the conference hasn't started yet, and although undergraduate students at Harbin Institute of Technology have finished their final exams, there are still many activities to attend, such as internships and training.

In addition, the hotel itself has such a space, which makes it convenient for everyone to communicate.

Therefore, most of the math teams that arrived in Harbin early did not go to Harbin Institute of Technology, but stayed at their hotels to exchange ideas.

Shing-Tung Yau, John Milnor, Charles Feifman, and others joined the exchange meeting a couple of days ago and checked into the hotel.

After Lü Gongliang finished speaking, Wang Duoyu was completely stunned.

To my utter surprise, everyone was so enthusiastic that they had already come to Harbin Institute of Technology to conduct their own exchanges.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this, after all, Wang Duoyu just held a report meeting last year, and it lasted for a whole week, which is quite a long time.

"okay, I get it."

Wang Duoyu nodded, indicating that he understood.

At this moment, Liu Deben suddenly said:
"Duoyu, besides this Mathematicians' Conference, Harbin Institute of Technology has also achieved several excellent research results in the past two months. One is a new material for titanium alloys, the second is a new material for carbon fiber, and the third is a new material for lithium-ion batteries."

"We are all well aware that Harbin Institute of Technology currently has several hundred research projects, including several very large-scale ones, especially those related to the Nantianmen Project, which is what you are most interested in, Duoyu."

Therefore, you might need to familiarize yourself with these materials.

In other words, Wang Duoyu needs to take the time to figure out these new materials and see if they can help with projects such as magnetic plasma engines.

New materials are the most crucial element in many research and development projects.

Just like Wang Duoyu's Mach 5 fighter jet project, which he worked on for more than eight years, it was initially used by him to test and experiment with his theoretical research results on strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.

Later, he successfully solved the problem and proved a strong solution to the Navier-Stokes equations.

Now, the Mach 5 fighter jet is almost ready for its test flight.

The most crucial point is that numerous new material technologies have been broken through and developed.

For example, the fuel tank design that Wang Duoyu was very concerned about before is actually not the key point.

On the contrary, the high-temperature resistant materials inside the scramjet engine are the crucial core components.

Because inside the engine, once the speed exceeds Mach 5, the temperature becomes extremely high, increasing exponentially.

Furthermore, depending on the total amount of fuel in the tank and the rate of fuel consumption, a Mach 5 fighter jet can maintain a constant speed of Mach 5 for more than two and a half hours.

This requires that the high-temperature resistant materials inside the engine not only be able to withstand temperatures of several thousand degrees, but also be able to withstand them for a long time.

Therefore, this extremely special material becomes particularly important.

"Okay, I understand. I'll make time to go check it out."

Wang Duoyu nodded and said, "This is a good thing."

The ability to develop more new materials can provide significant assistance in various fields, including civil aviation passenger planes, fighter jets, and others.

It would be even better if we could successfully assist Harbin Institute of Technology's numerous research projects.

Aside from this incident, Liu Deben and his group had nothing else to do.

Wang Duoyu no longer manages much of the companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology.

It wasn't just because Wang Duoyu himself didn't have that much time and energy, but also because the business leaders like Shu Yinbiao, Huang Mingtai, and Yang Deyong all had ambitious mindsets and wanted to gain autonomy.

So Wang Duoyu didn't bother with them too much. As long as the general direction wasn't wrong, he let them develop on their own.

Moreover, over the years, under Wang Duoyu's personal control, he has created excellent conditions for them.

Nowadays, they are simply following the established rules and procedures.

If they were planning something big, Liu Deben and the others would definitely mention it to Wang Duoyu.

Just as Wang Duoyu was talking to Liu Deben and the others about work, the news that he had returned to Harbin Institute of Technology somehow got out.

As a result, quite a few people have already gathered outside the island in the middle of the lake.

Qiu Chengtong and his group had arrived, but they were stopped by Yuan Zuliang and his group.

Wang Duoyu quickly noticed the commotion outside. Since they had finished their conversation, he got up and invited Qiu Chengtong and the others in.

"Duoyu, we'll take our leave now."

Liu Deben and the others left first, while John Milnor and his group came in.

The study was quiet for a while, but soon became lively again.

John Milnor and the others first inquired about Wang Junkang's health, the third son, before starting to discuss the mathematics topic.

Wang Duoyu spent the next few days in a busy schedule.

Besides discussing research topics with Shing-Tung Yau and his team, we also looked at new materials and took time to visit the Yuanchang large-scale wind tunnel laboratory and the magnetic plasma engine project research base.

Wang Duoyu was so busy with work that he barely had time to breathe.

Even so, he still had to find time to call Liu Xiaoli to check on the health of their third child.

Every time she made a phone call, Wang Yifei would always be there to cause trouble.

Sometimes, she would even secretly take her mother's phone and call Wang Duoyu.

"Fish, did you miss me? Give me a kiss."

Stealing a phone is one thing, but the real problem is that this kid actually imitated her mother's tone and voice, chatting with her father in her mother's manner.

Wang Duoyu was a little confused when he first heard that tone.

That brat deserves a beating!
Amidst the mix of amusement and exasperation, the little guy's antics did indeed amuse Wang Duoyu, providing him with one of the few moments of joy he'd had recently.

As time went by, the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians arrived in the blink of an eye.

Those who did not receive an invitation were unable to enter the auditorium of Harbin Institute of Technology and could only sit in the smaller auditorium next door to watch the large screen.

why?
Because there were just too many people this time.

There were far more people than previously expected.

More than 5,900 people from abroad came, which can be roughly counted as 6,000.

Including other cities in China, at least 4,500 people came.

Anyway, all the star-rated hotels nearby were fully booked.

It's just a conference for mathematicians; there's no need for so many people to come.

The total number of mathematics researchers worldwide, those with doctoral degrees or higher, limited to theoretical mathematics research, is only a few tens of thousands.

This time, more than 10,000 people showed up, which was quite alarming.

However, Wang Duoyu estimates that most of the people who did not receive an invitation are probably amateur mathematicians.

Perhaps these amateur mathematicians are quite capable, but ultimately they are not as good as real mathematicians.

These people traveled thousands of miles to Harbin on a pilgrimage simply because of their love and passion for mathematics.

At the opening ceremony, Wang Duoyu gave a brief speech, and several other mathematicians also spoke.

After the opening ceremony, the various report sessions will follow.

Twenty-five people gave presentations at the 21st International Congress of Mathematicians, including Wang Duoyu, Shing-Tung Yau, John Milnor, Jokosz, Yang Nianzhen, Maxim, Wei Jiahong, Bocherz, Blok, Margulis, Feigen, Edward Witten, and Arancone.

With so many people giving presentations, they naturally wouldn't all be in the same lecture hall.

Instead, the presentations will be held in different lecture halls over the next few days.

There are two sessions each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each lasting about an hour or forty-five minutes.

This arrangement may seem unreasonable, but it is actually the arrangement for the future conference.

In the original timeline, the International Congress of Mathematicians was arranged in this way after the millennium.

In other words, this conference will last for twelve days.

Wang Duoyu alone occupied a whole day of the report meeting.

No one else holds a lecture on the day he does so, because everyone wants to hear his lecture.

If other mathematicians were to give presentations at the same time, probably not many people would attend, because most people would be thinking of listening to Wang Duoyu's presentation.

Wang Duoyu's report was actually held on the opening day, with one session in the morning and one in the afternoon.

The main topics covered were two papers: a new estimate of the maximum value of the Dirichlet polynomial and a new type of automorphic infinite product.

Last year, he published all seven papers proving the functor conjecture, and after holding a conference in the middle of the year, he published two more papers, namely the two papers mentioned above.

Currently, he still has one unpublished research result: the Hodge conjecture!

To be honest, the Hodge conjecture is a very important scientific achievement, both for Wang Duoyu and for the entire mathematics community.

Those are all quite important.

Of course, if Wang Duoyu wants to win the Fields Medal four years later, he will definitely need to publish the proof of the Hodge conjecture.

However, it might be a shocking event at that time.

After all, Hodge's conjecture was truly unique.

In addition, Wang Duoyu will not publish his paper: Strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.

If these research findings were published, the whole world would be shocked.

But Wang Duoyu would never do such a thing as aiding the enemy.

We can consider whether to publish Hodge's conjecture; we'll see how it goes later.

Because of the cutting-edge nature of this mathematical theory, foreign mathematicians may not be able to fully understand it and apply it to future technologies such as anti-gravity technology.

Of course, even Wang Duoyu himself wasn't entirely confident that he could apply the Hodge conjecture and related mathematical proofs to antigravity technology, let alone other mathematicians.

It's important to understand that even if he were to publish the Hodge Conjecture, in the current mathematical community, there would be no more than five people who could fully comprehend the paper.

After understanding it, it is even more difficult to connect it with and apply it to anti-gravity technology.

After all, antigravity technology is not just about applying mathematical models for calculations; it also has very high requirements for theories and technologies in physics and other fields.

"This is my proof."

Inside the auditorium, as Wang Duoyu on the podium completed the final proof, the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.

Wang Junhong, the little guy, was also sitting in the middle, and he was clapping enthusiastically along with everyone else.

He was just there to join in the fun, to experience the conference, and to see what a group of the world's smartest people were doing together.

Because his father talked about a new type of autostatic infinite product today, which was beyond Wang Junhong's level.

It's not that just because he attended his father's lecture last year, he can understand it now.

The functor conjecture and the new type of automorphic infinite product are completely different fields.

"My dad is amazing. I don't know how he learned so much!"

Looking up at his father on the podium, Wang Junhong's gaze was filled with fervor and admiration. He was thrilled, but also a little doubtful.

In fact, he considered himself to be very hardworking.

Since the middle of last year, he has been making the most of his time to study mathematics.

As a result, he didn't study other subjects much and focused solely on mathematics.

As a result, the time he spent learning to fly a plane was shortened.

However, his current skill level still needs improvement.

Of course, he was also fortunate that the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematics Journal was in Chinese, which he could understand.

If it's an international edition or another academic journal, with his English level, he won't have any problem communicating with people, but if he wants to fully understand those English math papers, he'll probably need to spend more time, or even need to ask someone for help.

That's why he was filled with emotion and deeply admired his father's erudition.

If Wang Duoyu knew what his eldest son was thinking, he would probably laugh at the little guy.

How old is Wang Junhong?

He's not even ten years old yet.

At that age, his peers, who are geniuses, would at best only have a high school level of math.

Wang Junhong was already at the level of an undergraduate mathematics major before last year, and now he has gone a step further and is at the level of a master's student.

However, even so, it doesn't mean he can understand Wang Duoyu's report.

If someone could actually understand that, they would be a true prodigy.

The applause in the auditorium lasted for nearly ten minutes before it ended.

Then came the Q&A session.

Only after everything is completely finished will there be time for free discussion.

Over the next few days, Yang Nianzhen and others began giving reports.

At this point, many amateur mathematicians finally had the opportunity to attend classes in person.

For a time, the auditorium of Harbin Institute of Technology was filled with people.

Fortunately, it was summer vacation, so there were fewer students on campus.

Most students have already gone to internships or returned to their hometowns; there are not many students still on campus.

As time went by, the conference held at Harbin Institute of Technology soon came to a close.

Wang Duoyu spoke with Liu Xiaoli on the phone last night and learned that Lao San's condition was very stable, which put his mind at ease.

Li Rongrong, Lu Yuening, and Wang Junan also went to Beijing after the summer vacation.

Currently, only Wang Duoyu and his son Wang Junhong remain at their home on the island in the middle of the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Although the house was very quiet, the father and son were busy attending the lectures, so they didn't really feel the loneliness.

Anyway, home is just a place to sleep and rest, and it's a good thing Liu Xiaoli and the others aren't here, otherwise they might get nagged when they go back.

Over the past few days, Wang Duoyu has been taking his boss along to communicate with Qiu Chengtong and others.

There were quite a few veterans attending the conference this time, including Andrei Weil, Gelfand, Sergei Novikov, Igor Shafalevich, and others.

Gelfand is one of the most outstanding mathematicians in Moscow today. Although he has never won the Fields Medal, it does not affect his status in the mathematics community.

Unfortunately, Gelfand's teacher, Kolmogorov, passed away two years ago. Otherwise, if this great man had also attended this conference, it would have been even more splendid.

Even so, it does not diminish the prestige of this year's Congress of Mathematicians.

Many of the previous Fields Medal winners attended this year's conference.

Now that a new era has arrived, many mathematicians have emerged from obscurity.

For example, the British mathematician Coxster, born in 2007, was a contemporary of mathematicians such as André Weil and Gelfand.
