A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 210 Chen Xingshen Mathematics Prize
Atas Supercomputing Center
Wang Yuntong sat idly in the control room, staring at the complex monitoring images on the screen.

He's been here for almost a month now, and there's nothing particularly important to do each day. The supercomputer is maintained by dedicated engineers, so there's no need for him to interfere, nor does he have the authority to do so.

All he needed to do was answer Chen Hui's questions when Chen Hui came to him, and if he couldn't answer them, he would find someone else to answer them.

The chairman's secretary has suddenly become a customer service representative.

That's fine, but the key point is that Chen Hui hasn't contacted him at all in the past month.

For most people, a paid vacation would be a dream come true, but for someone like him with ideals and ambitions, it would be hell.

Woohoo...

Mobile phone vibration.

Wang Yuntong glanced at her phone screen, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the call.

"Congratulations, Brother Yuntong."

A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Why are you so happy?"

Wang Yuntong replied listlessly, "The person who made the call is Han Muyu, the secretary who replaced him and is now Mr. Ren's secretary."

"Brother Yuntong is indeed very composed. No wonder Elder Ren keeps praising you. You have achieved such great results, yet you are still so humble."

"Big……"

Wang Yuntong instinctively wanted to ask what great achievements he had made. He was just wasting time here every day, what great achievements could he possibly have made?

But he quickly realized that since he hadn't achieved anything, it must have been Chen Hui who had!

That guy produced results so quickly?
He knew about Chen Hui's research and naturally understood how much benefit it would bring to Youwei Group if Chen Hui actually achieved results.

Wang Yuntong was secretly alarmed. He had to admit that he had underestimated the young man before, and at the same time, he became more and more respectful of Elder Ren. Elder Ren's sharp insight was indeed unmatched.

He came here to assist Chen Hui in his research. Although he did nothing in fact, since Chen Hui produced results, he naturally deserved credit as well.

In a flash, all these thoughts crossed Wang Yuntong's mind, and the words that came out of her mouth were, "What's so great about it? I was just doing my duty."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, clearly unsure of his relationship with Chen Hui, but the other party didn't dwell on it. "Come back quickly, Old Ren wants you to come back."

Our time has come!

"it is good."

Wang Yuntong replied in a flat tone.

After hanging up the phone, he could no longer contain his joy and burst into silent laughter.

He originally thought he would spend the rest of his life in this godforsaken place, but unexpectedly, it only took a month for his life to be changed again. He was sent here because of Chen Hui, and he was also reinstated because of Chen Hui.

Life is unpredictable; it is truly wondrous.

After a brief moment of excitement, Wang Yuntong put away her smile and walked out of the office with a normal expression.

A month of being sent to the countryside has made him much more composed.

On the other end of the phone, Han Muyu, who had also hung up, turned to Ren Woxing excitedly and said, "As expected of Mr. Ren, this investment is amazing. I really want to see what those directors who opposed you back then look like now."

"Alright, let's get ready for the meeting."

Ren Woxing waved his hand and walked towards the conference room next door.

With his shrewdness, he naturally wouldn't wear his emotions on his sleeve like this secretary.

His surprise was no less than anyone else's. He was certain that Chen Hui could produce results; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such great pressure from the board of directors and make the decision to practically give away Atas 900 to Chen Hui.

But he never expected Chen Hui to produce results so quickly. From the time he met Chen Hui, it had only been less than a month!

He originally thought it would take at least three to five years to see results.

He was prepared to endure the pressure for three to five years, but who knew the surprise would come so suddenly.

"Old Ren, experience truly matters!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I shouldn't have questioned your decision back then."

"I'll punish myself with three drinks later."

"Mr. Ren, come, come, please take a seat!"

Upon entering the conference room, I found it already packed with people, all beaming with joy, as if it were almost Chinese New Year.

Ren Woxing waved his hand and walked to his usual seat.

This is an emergency board meeting convened by Youwei Group.

The board structure of Youwei Group is quite complex. Although Ren Woxing is the actual person in charge, he is just an ordinary director. Of course, he has a veto power.

The board of directors also includes a chairperson and a rotating chairperson; currently, the rotating chairperson is Meng Wanzhou…

However, none of that matters. The discovery of gallium oxide semiconductor materials is a tremendous boost to Youwei Group, whose main businesses include ICT infrastructure, terminal business (including mobile phones and tablets), cloud computing and digital energy, and intelligent vehicle solutions.

Each of these businesses is a direct beneficiary of the new semiconductor industry.

So the topic of today's meeting is quite simple: how to industrialize gallium oxide.

……

May 10th, Jiaxing, Zhejiang

Chen Hui arrived at the Jiaxing Marriott Hotel yesterday. This annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society is divided into a main venue and several sub-venues. The main venue is at Jiaxing University, while there are several sub-venues. The Jiaxing Marriott Hotel, where Chen Hui is staying, is one of the sub-venues.

As a mathematician invited to give a report, Chen Hui naturally arrived early. Not only Chen Hui, but Yuan Xinyi and Wang Qiming also came with him. Even Academician E Weinan, who had been buried in the laboratory researching new materials, came. Many teachers from the Department of Mathematics of Jiangcheng University also came.

The annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society may not have much influence internationally, but it is quite influential in China.

At 7:30, the group headed straight for Jiaxing University to attend the opening ceremony of the annual meeting.

"This is going to be really lively!"

"I heard that Elder Qiu has come."

"No need to hear about it, I saw it yesterday. They're staying at the same hotel as me."

"Old Qiu hasn't attended the annual meeting for quite some time now. Why did he suddenly show up this time?" One of them looked around before lowering his voice and saying, "I heard that Old Qiu and Old Xi don't get along very well."

"Do you even need to hear about this? Isn't it common knowledge?"

His companion rolled his eyes. "Have you seen how Qiu Lao has attended even one annual meeting since Xi Lao became chairman?"

"Then why did he come this time?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, it's because of his precious great-grandson."

"It's strange, their lineage is unique in China. Qiu himself has won the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize. His teacher, Chen Xingshen, was also a Wolf Prize winner. His student is Tian Yang. Although he didn't win the three major awards, he was invited to give a one-hour lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians. He was the first mathematician from China to be invited to give a one-hour lecture."

His grand-disciple is Yuan Xinyi, and it's now a certainty that he'll win Fields.

Now, a great-grandson of a disciple has emerged, and he's on the verge of solving the Yang-Mills equation. The Fields Medal seems within reach. Such a lineage is rare, not only in China but also worldwide.

"Mathematicians all have mentors; look at the Göttingen school, look at Princeton now..."

A group of people sighed and lamented, regretting that they didn't have a good teacher.

Walking through the campus of Jiaxing University, you see scholars and professors everywhere attending the conference. Groups of three or five friends gather together. These scholars are just people, not much different from ordinary people, and they start gossiping.

Chen Hui paid no attention to the gossip of these people and followed his teacher to the auditorium of Jiaxing University, which was the main venue for the annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society and the place where the opening ceremony was held.

The auditorium was packed with over a thousand people, including members of the 14th Council and Supervisory Board of the Chinese Mathematical Society, invited guests, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, experts and scholars from various universities and research institutions, and representatives from publishing houses.

When Chen Hui entered the Great Hall of the People, his head buzzed, and the noise filled his mind, making him feel a little dizzy.

Guided by the staff, they found their seat nameplates in the first row. As invited guests, Chen Hui and Yuan Xinyi were seated in the first row, while Academician E Weinan was in the third row. As for the other professors, even Wang Qiming, they could only sit in the back.

"Professor Chen, I've recently had some inspiration regarding the quality gap problem. We can find a place to discuss it later."

As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged man patted Chen Hui on the shoulder from behind and said with a kind smile.

"Okay."

Chen Hui nodded in agreement.

He didn't recognize the middle-aged man. Apart from the first row, not every seat in the back had a nameplate, but since the man was able to sit in this position, he must be someone extraordinary.

Although he has completed the proof of the mass gap, pre-published it on arXiv, and submitted it to the Annals of Mathematics, it is still beneficial to listen to the ideas of his peers.

"Professor Chen, congratulations!"

"Professor Chen is indeed a young hero!"

After Chen Hui sat down, people kept coming to congratulate him. Now he was quite well-known in the Chinese mathematics community.

"congratulations!"

Academician Zheng Nanning came over to Chen Hui and congratulated him with a smile, saying, "When you started with the Yang-Mills equation, I thought you were overestimating yourself. I didn't expect you to achieve results so quickly. I guess I'm getting old!"

He couldn't attend Chen Hui's lecture at Yanbei University last time because of other commitments, but now that he's seeing him, he insists on congratulating Chen Hui in person.

"I have to thank Professor Zheng for his inspiration, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the proof so quickly."

Chen Hui had a good impression of the old man and said modestly.

"You should learn from your grandmaster in this respect. Young people should have the arrogance of youth, and you have the right to be arrogant!"

Zheng Nanning smiled and shook her head, just in time to see Qiu Chengwu sitting to the side.

Qiu Chengwu glanced at Zheng Nanning, snorted softly, and said nothing more.

If this guy hadn't been praising his great-grandson, he would have definitely given him a few sarcastic remarks.

The conference officially opened at 8:10.
Academician Xi Nanhua, Chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society; Academician Tian Yang, Secretary of Jiaxing University, Director of the Jiaxing Mathematical Society, and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Chinese Mathematical Society…

The lengthy opening ceremony, with one person giving a speech after another, seems to be the norm for all academic conferences, whether in China or the West.

Finally, the speech ended, followed by the award ceremony for the three major awards of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

This is also what makes the annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society different from other conferences. Many conferences award prizes at the closing ceremony, but the annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society awards prizes at the opening ceremony, followed by invited guests giving reports.

First is the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize, which is awarded to Chinese mathematicians who have made outstanding academic achievements in the field of mathematics. The age limit is 45 years old and it can be regarded as a lifetime achievement award in the Chinese mathematics community.

Finally, the award was given to Academician Li Anming of Chengdu University.

Then came the awards ceremony, acceptance speeches, group photos...

Next is the Chern Prize in Mathematics, which is awarded to outstanding young and middle-aged Chinese mathematicians who have made significant contributions to the field of mathematics. Applicants must be under 45 years of age.

The Chern Prize awarded by the Chinese Mathematical Society is different from the Chern Prize awarded by the International Congress of Mathematicians. The Chern Prize awarded by the International Congress of Mathematicians is a lifetime achievement award, and of course, it is more prestigious than the Chern Prize awarded to mathematician Chern.

The Chern Prize is the fourth major award administered by the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and the first major mathematics award named after a Chinese mathematician by the IMU. It is also the highest-level lifetime achievement award in the international mathematics community!
Of course, the Chern Prize in Mathematics is also highly prestigious, and can be said to be the highest honor that young and middle-aged mathematicians in China can receive.

The fact that Academician Xi Nanhua was the presenter for the Chen Xingshen Mathematics Prize demonstrates the importance that the Chinese Mathematical Society attaches to this award.

"Distinguished academicians, scholars, ladies and gentlemen! Tonight, we are witnessing not only the pinnacle of a mathematical era, but also humanity's eternal pursuit of truth!"
Now, please allow me, in my capacity as President of the Chinese Mathematical Society, to solemnly announce that the 21st Chern Prize in Mathematics is awarded to Professor Yuan Xinyi, a mathematician!

Xi Nanhua is not a professional host, and without keeping the audience in suspense, he directly announced the winner's name.

Yuan Xinyi wasn't too excited; clearly, he had already received the news.

"Fifty years ago, when Professor Shiing-Shen Chern opened up the XJ domain for modern mathematics with 'global differential geometry,' he may have already foreseen today's breakthrough. Professor Xinyi Yuan, through ten years of dedicated exploration, has engraved the mark of Eastern wisdom on the Langlands Program, a mathematical temple that has stood for decades!"

"He innovatively constructed a bridge between 'algebraic knots and automorphic forms,' achieving for the first time a perfect duality between the local and the global in non-Abel-Garovar representations. This not only overcame the core obstacle of the Gelfond-Wey conjecture but also unexpectedly revealed the profound connection between modular space geometry and quantum chaos."

This achievement, described by Professor Jerison, editor-in-chief of the *Annals of Mathematics*, as "the prototype of a grand unified theory of mathematics," has finally cleared the fog of "lack of motivation" that has plagued the academic community for over thirty years!

On the main stage, a photo of Yuan Xinyi was projected, along with his personal information, including his published papers and a brief academic career path. Academician Xi Nanhua continued, "What is particularly noteworthy is that Professor Yuan's original 'hyperbolic homophonic analysis method' perfectly integrates the rigidity of algebraic geometry with the flexibility of harmonic analysis, opening up a completely new paradigm for subsequent research on the Millennium Problem."

As the judging committee stated, this is not a supplement to the Langlands Programme, but rather gives it wings to soar to the stars!

Everyone turned to look at Chen Hui, who was standing next to Yuan Xinyi, because of this statement. They all knew that Yuan Xinyi's student was unique in the global mathematics community when it came to applying the Langlands program framework.

It is precisely because of Chen Hui’s achievements that the Langlands Program, as demonstrated by Yuan Xinyi, has become even more valuable.

From the dawn over Weiming Lake to the late night at Princeton, from the minor details of the Riemann Hypothesis to Langlands' grand blueprint, Professor Yuan Xinyi continues Professor Chen Xingshen's unfinished mission of "making China a mathematical powerhouse" with the most elegant mathematical language.

Now, let us invite this mathematical poet, who makes equations and geometry dance together, to the stage to receive the laurel wreath that belongs to a pioneer!
