Xueba's life simulator

Chapter 212 Awards to Watch

"Although Zhou Ming's reputation is indeed great, he shouldn't be so arrogant. After all, our country of Hua is also a state of etiquette. If someone invites you and you don't go, then you should find a better reason. Finding such a reason doesn't matter. will be?"

"That's right, I think he's too young, but that's right, young people have been praised too much in the past two years, and it's normal to start to swell."

"I heard that he also won the Cole Prize in Number Theory of the American Mathematical Society, but he also declined the invitation to attend the annual meeting."

In early December, the American Mathematical Society sent Zhou Ming the award-winning written document of the Cole Number Theory Award at the beginning of the month. It also arrived at Huaguo University of Science and Technology.

As for what Zhou Ming said in his email reply to them, he may not have time to go to the 2017rd American Mathematical Annual Meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia in January 123.

As for Zhou Ming's reply, the American Mathematical Society also discussed whether to continue to award this year's Cole Prize in Number Theory to Zhou Ming.

However, the mathematical problem that Li Mingzhi mentioned in the e-mail about Zhou Ming's reply to the American Mathematical Society is exactly what is considered to be "the greatest conjecture in the history of mathematics", " After the Riemann Hypothesis, which is the most important mathematical problem in today's mathematics world, this topic quickly spread widely in the entire mathematics circle.

If other people say that it’s fine if they want to study the Riemann Hypothesis, then it is impossible to have such a big reaction in the mathematics community.

Even if Sir Michael Atiyah, one of the few big cows in the world of mathematics today, said that he wanted to study the Riemann conjecture, he would not attract too much attention unless he proved the Riemann conjecture. guess.

But Zhou Ming is different. First of all, he is too young. Sir Michael Atiyah was born in 1929, and he is 87 years old now.

Mathematics is a subject for young people. Old people in their 80s are not good enough in all aspects of physical function, and their brains are far less flexible than young people. Sir Michael Atiyah wants to prove the Riemann Hypothesis in this grade. This seems somewhat impractical to many.

Another point is that Zhou Ming's rise was too fast before, and the time between the twin prime number conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture was proved to be so short. If he can prove the Riemann conjecture, this is not so difficult in the eyes of many people. confidence.

Before the news that Zhou Ming was solving the Riemann conjecture came out, although some bigwigs in the American Mathematical Society suggested that Zhou Ming should be awarded the Cole Prize in Number Theory this year, there were not many bigwigs who made it clear .

However, after the news spread that the mathematical problem that Zhou Ming was solving was the Riemann Hypothesis, the number of people within the American Mathematical Society who supported the awarding of the Cole Prize in Number Theory to Zhou Ming increased significantly, and it can even be said that they accounted for the vast majority.

Since Zhou Ming is unable to come to the 123rd Annual Meeting of the American Mathematical Society held in Atlanta, Georgia, in January next year due to his busy schedule, it will be the same as when the Royal Swedish Academy awarded Zhou Ming the Craford Prize. Just change the awards ceremony to an online live broadcast.

The Mathematicians who agreed to award the Cole Prize in Number Theory to Zhou Ming still have another idea in their minds, that is, since we can’t go to Huaguo to ask Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming will carry out research on the Riemann conjecture. At what point, then they can take this opportunity to ask Zhou Ming about his progress in researching the Riemann conjecture when the Cole Number Theory Prize is awarded.

It is precisely because of these people's proposals that the American Mathematical Society decided not to change the status of the winner of the Cole Number Theory Award this year.

As for Zhou Ming’s refusal to go to the United States to attend the 123rd annual meeting of the American Mathematical Society on the grounds that he was too busy recently, the American Mathematical Society decided that the final awards ceremony would be held in the form of webcast, just like the Royal Swedish Academy. And welcome mathematics lovers from all over the world to watch this direct blog, but it did not cause much discussion on foreign forums.

After all, this is not the first time that the American Mathematical Society has changed the award ceremony to a live webcast just for Zhou Ming.

However, there are some discordant voices in China, and those discussions that think Zhou Ming’s behavior is not good are almost all raised by non-mathematicians.

Although there are also some people who are more concerned about the field of mathematics, or who are studying mathematics, they will leave some of their comments after seeing such comments. The content is naturally speaking for Zhou Ming, saying that Professor Zhou Ming is studying the Riemann conjecture. It's quite busy.

But for these replies, those who said that Zhou Ming was not good could still find various reasons to refute, and in the end they had to say how bad and rude Zhou Ming's actions were.

It seems that this is the only way to say that, as long as they have different opinions from other people, they can express their unique thoughts. The more people reply, the more they will have a feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

However, whether it was the Cole Prize in Number Theory issued by the American Mathematical Society, or the Scientific Breakthrough Award known as the "luxury version of the Nobel Prize" and the "Oscar of Science", Zhou Ming didn't take it seriously.

Moreover, in Zhou Ming's opinion, giving the Scientific Breakthrough Award the title of "Luxury Nobel Prize" is a bit too insulting to the Nobel Prize.

The most worthy of Zhou Ming's attention in December is an award that will also be awarded in January 2017.

However, there are very few people who know about the award, and the notice has not been sent out. Zhou Ming only found out that he had won the award and the award-winning project after receiving a call from Zhou Chunli.

The award that Zhou Ming is concerned about is the first prize of the 2016 Huaguo National Natural Science Award, and the winning project is the super bean project that has been promoted and planted in a small area.

Relevant notification documents have been issued above, and the cultivation of super beans will be promoted nationwide next year.

That is to say, starting from next year, the soybeans planted in most areas of the country will be super beans. After all, super beans have great advantages compared with other soybean varieties.

The same is planted on an acre of land. The soybeans grown by the family next door not only don’t have to worry about diseases, insect pests, bad weather and many other problems, but their output is several times that of yours. What’s more, they can grow four crops a year.

Let me ask, who can accept such a gap?
In order not to lose money, farmers who grow soybeans will naturally all buy the seeds of super beans to grow soybeans, and they don't even need to do too much promotion at all.

Although the Huaguo National Natural Science First Prize is selected every year, not every project is selected every year. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the Huaguo National Natural Science First Prize has been absent for almost half of the time.

也就从2013年开始，之后的2014年、2015年这几年连续每年都有项目获得华国国家自然科学奖一等奖，像在2013年之前有项目获得华国国家自然科学一等奖的年份还是在2009年。

Before 2009, it was 2006. In that year, two projects won the first prize of the Huaguo National Natural Science Award. This is the only time in the 21st century that two projects in Huaguo won the first prize of the Huaguo National Natural Science Award. Prizes.

And in this year, 2016, once again two projects won the first prize of the Huaguo Natural Science Award.

In addition to Zhou Ming's Super Bean project, another project is called "New Mode of Neutrino Oscillation Discovered by Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment".

In fact, Zhou Ming was already prepared for winning the first prize of the Huaguo National Natural Science Award. After all, when he used the life simulator before, he also mentioned many times that he would win the first prize of the National Natural Science Award in the future.

It's just that in those simulations, Zhou Ming won the first prize of Huaguo National Natural Science Award so early. Even if it was the earliest time in the simulation world, it was in the last simulation that he won the award when he was 26 years old.

Although it was mentioned in a previous simulation that Zhou Ming will be a double academician of the Huaguo National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering at the age of 25 in the future, but in that simulation he won the first prize of the Huaguo National Natural Science Award. At the age of 29.

Just because he had never seen such an experience when using the life simulator before, Zhou Ming was a little surprised when he received a call from Zhou Chunli and learned the news from him.

However, since this information has not been published on the above, only some winners have acquaintances on it, so some winners will know in advance that their project has won the award.

So although many people are discussing Zhou Ming on the Internet, no one is discussing the first prize of the Huaguo Natural Science Award.

The time soon came to January 2017, 1, which is Thursday, Xiaohan.

On this day, Zhou Ming still stayed at his residence to conduct research on Riemann's conjecture, but he didn't want to hear a long-lost knock on the door outside.

When Zhou Ming walked out of his room and opened the door of the living room, he realized that it was actually two academicians, Li Zhizhi and Zhang Mingjie, who knocked on the door.

"Why are you two here?" Zhou Ming asked the two of them to sit in the room curiously.

"Of course there is a big event, and it's a very good event..." Li Mingzhi said, he was going to make a deal with Zhou Ming, but unexpectedly Zhang Mingjie directly stated the purpose of their visit this time.

"The Ministry of Science and Technology released a document titled "2016 National Natural Science Award Project List". Your super bean project won the first prize of the National Natural Science Award."

Zhang Mingjie couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said excitedly to Zhou Ming, they came together this time because they thought that Zhou Ming might not know the news because of researching Riemann's conjecture, not surfing the Internet or watching TV, so they ran over to tell Zhou Ming of.

In fact, when Zhang Mingjie mentioned the "2016 National Natural Science Award project list", Zhou Ming knew the purpose of their visit this time.

"Has it been announced? I thought it would not be announced until the day of the awards." Zhou Ming calmly said to Zhang Mingjie and Li Zhizhi. His face was completely devoid of the joy that Zhang Mingjie and Li Zhizhi had expected before they came.

"You know?" Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi asked Zhou Ming in unison with surprised faces.

"Well, Dean Zhou told me before, I only know that I will go to the capital to participate in the award ceremony on the 9th, but I didn't know that the list will be announced today." Zhou Ming nodded and said.

"I forgot about this." Li Mingzhi said.

Seeing that Zhou Ming knew about it in advance, Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi lost their previous interest in an instant.

"After we found out about this, we came here specifically to surprise you, but we didn't expect Dean Zhou to tell you in advance.

However, the first prize this year is the second time since the beginning of the 21st century that China has awarded the first prize of the National Natural Science Award to two projects in one year. "Zhang Mingjie said.

"Actually, I think you can win the first prize for proving Goldbach's conjecture.

It is estimated that the above consideration is that Super Beans can directly reflect the changes it brings to us in our lives, so we did not choose Goldbach’s conjecture. "

Li Mingzhi said that when the province reported the awards, it reported almost all of Zhou Ming's completed projects. Naturally, there were proofs of Goldbach's conjecture among the projects reported.

"Since you already know, then we won't bother you." After saying that, Zhang Mingjie was about to leave, not to disturb Zhou Ming's research on mathematics.

"Dean Zhang, wait a minute." Seeing that Zhang Mingjie was about to leave, Li Zhiming quickly stopped him.

When Zhang Mingjie heard Li Zhizhi's words, he also looked at him strangely, and said to him, "What's wrong?"

"I think we might start thinking about making Xiao Zhou an academician." Li Mingzhi finished speaking to Zhang Mingjie, then turned his gaze to Zhou Ming, and asked Zhou Ming, "What do you think?"

"Ah? It's a bit early, isn't it?" Zhang Mingjie also had a look of surprise on his face after hearing what Li Mingzhi said to him.

"Academicians are based on ability, not qualifications. You are almost 20 years younger than me, and you should be more open-minded and less rigid. Why don't you take age as lightly as I do?

What's more, the document released in 13 did not mention that the academician selection and management system should be reformed, the proportion of young and middle-aged talents should be increased, and the problem of aging academicians should be reduced.

And let me ask you, does Xiao Zhou have the ability? "

After Zhang Mingjie finished speaking, Li Mingzhi talked to Zhang Mingjie again without waiting for Zhou Ming to reply to him.

"Yes, of course there is.

I don't know about other fields, but at least in the field of biology, he has led so many projects, and if he takes one out and puts it on others, he can be awarded the title of a second-level professor no matter what.

With him, the development of biotechnology in our country is at least 40 to [-] years less than that of other countries. "Zhang Mingjie replied to Li Mingzhi.

"Well, now that we have the ability, let's talk about connections.

If I want to recommend Xiao Zhou as an academician candidate, will you be my recommender?Do you think those academicians who have had contact with Xiao Zhou will support him? "

Li Mingzhi asked Zhang Mingjie again.

"I'm sure I will. As for those who have been in contact with Professor Zhou, I think most of them will too." Zhang Mingjie said, he also knows Zhou Ming's personality quite well.
