Chapter 661 Detour to receive the award

"Dear Professor Zhou Chen, hello, I am James Carlson, the director of the Clay Institute of Mathematics. First of all, congratulations on your being awarded the Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians and becoming the most honored recipient of this award. Young winner!"

"Secondly, I'm glad to hear that you gave an academic report of 1 hour and 45 minutes at this International Congress of Mathematicians. This is an academic report that breaks the historical tradition of the International Congress of Mathematicians!"

"At the same time, what is particularly exciting is the content of your academic report. The Yang-Mills gauge field existence and mass interval hypothesis problem has been recognized as a world-class mathematical problem since it was proposed in the last century. It's also a difficult problem that has both physical and mathematical implications."

"That's why we included it in the seven Millennium Prize puzzles of the Cray Mathematics Institute in 2000. Today, we have finally witnessed the solution of this puzzle."

"So, Professor Chen Zhou, while congratulating you, I'm also very honored to tell you that you will receive the $100 million reward promised by the Cray Mathematics Institute when they announced these seven mathematical problems!"

"Here, I also solemnly invite you to make a special trip to the Clay Institute of Mathematics to receive this reward that belongs to you."

The email reminder that popped up on Chen Zhou's phone was sent by James Carlson, the director of the Clay Mathematics Institute.

The content of this email is partly to congratulate Chen Zhou for winning the Fields Medal, and partly to invite Chen Zhou to go to the Cray Mathematics Institute to take away the millennium award.

After Chen Zhou silently read the entire email, he was not in a hurry to reply to James Carlson.

Instead, in his heart, he began to silently calculate how much the 100 million US dollars would be worth.

Even if Huawei has obtained the patent licensing fee and the investment in the cooperative research.

But Chen Zhou still felt that his money was not enough.

Once a research institution plan similar to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study is actually implemented, the money will be burned quickly.

"It's probably not expected to fill the research institution's plan, but this bonus is enough for them to use it for a while..."

After a little calculation, Chen Zhou began to dislike that the amount of money was too small.

If this were to be put aside in the past, if he could get a bonus of 100 million US dollars, then Chen Zhou would be very happy.

But now, this 100 million US dollar bonus is really nothing to him.

Of course, although this bonus is not much, it must be accepted.

In terms of money, Chen Zhou still maintains the mentality of "no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat".

After thinking about it, Chen Zhou decided not to return to China for the time being, but to go directly to the Clay Institute of Mathematics and receive the bonus.

But immediately, Chen Zhou thought of Xiong Hao and Qi Yin who followed him, and the rest of the people who had dispersed to protect him secretly.

If you don't go back to your country, then these people will definitely not go back.

If so many people follow him, won't it be a waste of national resources?

For a moment, Chen Zhou also wavered a little.

Chen Zhou began to think, is it possible for Director James Carlson to transfer 100 million directly to his account?

In that case, I don't have to make a trip, and the other party will save trouble.

However, this idea, just ran out for a while, and was snuffed out by Chen Zhou.

Among other things, the Clay Institute of Mathematics is most well-known for the seven Millennium Prizes it announced.

The reason for announcing these seven difficult problems is also to refer to Hilbert's 1900 problems in 23.

And Hilbert's 23 questions deeply influenced the development of mathematics in the 20th century.

Obviously, the Clay Institute of Mathematics also hopes that these seven Millennium Prize puzzles can influence the development of mathematics in the 23st century just like Hilbert's 21 questions.

Therefore, such a thing that has a high degree of attention and can increase the influence of mathematics, as well as the influence of the Clay Institute of Mathematics itself.

On James Carlson's side, they definitely wouldn't just transfer the money hastily.

Moreover, the previous Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman had already rejected the Clay Institute of Mathematics once when he solved the Poincaré conjecture.

The awards ceremony they had carefully prepared was useless.

This time, the Clay Institute of Mathematics must want to make up for the regret of the last time.

Otherwise, it would be really hard for them to solve two Millennium Awards problems without even a decent awards ceremony.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhou glanced at the email content on the computer screen again, then got up and went to Xiong Hao and Qi Yin to discuss the matter with them.

Chen Zhou first came to the door of Qi Yin's room and knocked on the door, but found no one answered.

Surprised, Chen Zhou turned towards Xiong Hao's room.

Before reaching the door, Chen Zhou noticed that the door of Xiong Hao's room was not closed, but half open.

Taking a closer look, Chen Zhou realized that Qi Yin was also here.

Xiong Hao and Qi Yin looked at Chen Zhou together, a little surprised at the sudden appearance of this Professor Chen.

Chen Zhou smiled at the two of them and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you..."

Xiong Hao and Qi Yin said in unison, "Professor Chen, tell me."

Chen Zhou then told him all about the Cray Mathematics Institute sending him an email and inviting him to receive the award.

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Xiong Hao and Qi Yin also understood what Chen Zhou meant.

Chen Zhou wanted to accept the award, but because of them, he came to ask for their opinions.

Qi Yin considered the reason why she came to Xiong Hao, so she said directly: "Professor Chen, I don't recommend you to accept the award. We can use other methods, find someone to collect it on your behalf or something, but it is best not to accept it yourself. Go and receive the award in person."

Chen Zhou looked at Qi Yin and asked softly, "Why? What's the reason?"

Qi Yin glanced at Xiong Hao beside him, and Xiong Hao quietly gave her a look, signaling her not to tell Chen Zhou about that.

Although Qi Yin was a little puzzled, she listened to Xiong Hao's opinion and just said to Chen Zhou: "Professor Chen, do you still remember the dishonesty incident of the US government a while ago? So far, no one has heard about this incident." Handle it properly."

"So, at this time, you are going to the United States to accept the award. I am worried that you will encounter some unnecessary troubles. At the same time, I am also worried that your personal safety will be threatened in the United States."

For Xiong Hao and Qi Yin's petty actions, Chen Zhou naturally noticed them.

However, Chen Zhou didn't know what the two were hiding from him.

But there is one thing that Chen Zhou is sure of.

That is, what the two of them kept from themselves should have just happened.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in the same room when they were looking for them.

As for whether there will be any private matters between the two of them.

Chen Zhou felt that it should be impossible.

How can there be a room door half open to talk about private matters?
In fact, Chen Zhou's guess was very accurate, almost the whole process was right.

However, the door of Xiong Hao's room was half open.

It's all because Qi Yin also just came to Xiong Hao's room and showed Xiong Hao the news she received.

Before the two of them had time to say a word, Chen Zhou appeared at the door of the room.

Xiong Hao and Qi Yin were quite surprised when they saw Chen Zhou at first.

The two of them thought that when Chen Zhou returned to the room, there was a high probability that he would not come out.

Because judging from the past few days, Chen Zhou is like this.

Unexpectedly, today's Chen Zhou came out after returning to the room for more than half an hour.

Thinking of these, Chen Zhou looked at Xiong Hao and Qi Yin, and asked directly, "Is something wrong?"

Xiong Hao and Qi Yin looked at each other, then Xiong Hao turned his head to look at Chen Zhou, and said softly: "Professor Chen, it's just a small matter, let us handle it, you don't have to worry."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Chen Zhou couldn't help frowning.

Immediately, Chen Zhou said in an unquestionable tone: "Xiong Hao, if it is related to me, I have the right to know what happened!"

When he said this, Chen Zhou's mind suddenly flashed, the person who bumped into him in the afternoon.

He also realized that something was wrong with that person.

It stands to reason that any scholar who participated in this conference should not look like that after bumping into himself.

Hearing what Chen Zhou said, Xiong Hao pondered for a while, and finally decided to tell Chen Zhou the news that Qi Yin brought just now.

Just now, the reason why he didn't let Qi Yin say it was because he didn't want to have any influence on Chen Zhou.

The second is that this matter is already under their control, and on the premise that it can be completely resolved, there is no need to let Chen Zhou know about it.

This is also his consistent style of doing things.

Solve all the troubles where the protected person can't see, ensure the safety of the protected person, and not have any impact on the protected person.

However, when Chen Zhou asked that sentence, it was better to say it than to hide it.

It would be bad if Chen Zhou was allowed to guess wildly.

After Xiong Hao finished speaking, Chen Zhou suddenly asked in surprise: "Is that person coming after me this afternoon?"

Xiong Hao nodded: "According to our investigation, this person should be responsible for following you and collecting all your whereabouts information. That's why he left in a hurry after bumping into you by accident."

"So besides this person, is there anyone else who is going to attack me?" Chen Zhou frowned slightly.

"At present, this is the case." Xiong Hao then said, "Professor Chen, don't worry, since this person has been exposed, none of the people behind him will be able to escape."

"Have you already taken action?" When Chen Zhou said these words, he had already closed the door of the room.

Xiong Hao did not answer this question, but Qi Yin took the initiative to say: "Professor Chen, I got this information by arranging people to carry out anti-stalking. If there is no accident, the location of these people is almost clear. "

Chen Zhou pondered for a while, and said: "I won't ask about your specific arrangements. After all, this is your specialty. However, there is one thing I want to say, that is, you must pay attention to safety. After all, this place is abroad."

Hearing this, Xiong Hao and Qi Yinju nodded.

But the two of them didn't expect that Chen Zhou would be so calm and consider their safety after hearing this.

It can only be said that the young professor in front of him is indeed a little different.

After a pause, Chen Zhou asked again: "Then according to your words, we will return to China immediately?"

Qi Yin nodded and said: "Professor Chen, at present, we only know that this group of people is targeting you. As for the others, we don't know. For safety reasons, I think we should return to China immediately. country."

Chen Zhou was silent for a moment, then looked at Xiong Hao again: "Big Bear, what do you think?"

Xiong Hao said in a muffled voice, "I will follow your arrangement."

Qi Yin looked at Xiong Hao beside him in surprise, what does this guy mean?
He supports Professor Chen to go to the United States to receive the award?
Doesn't he know that the group of people targeting Professor Chen is not guaranteed to be the ghost of the United States?

Chen Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Well, how much time do you need to solve this matter?"

Qi Yin asked without answering, "Professor Chen, are you really going to the Clay Institute of Mathematics to receive the award?"

Chen Zhou nodded lightly, before Qi Yin could speak, he had already said: "Qi Yin, the most dangerous place is the safest place, do you understand?"

Qi Yin was taken aback, and looked at Chen Zhou with some doubts.

Chen Zhou explained: "I know, what you are worried about is whether the people who target me will be secretly arranged by the US government. After all, the cause of their dishonesty is me. And I still choose to go to the US to receive the award, does not mean that Are you sending yourself into the tiger's mouth?"

"But on the contrary, if I go to accept the award so swaggeringly, not only will I not send myself into the tiger's mouth, but this tiger with its mouth open will have to worry about what will happen to me. Maybe the US government will have to pinch its nose , protect me in the dark."

"Because, the invitation of the Clay Institute of Mathematics has attracted the attention of the whole world. If we go at this time, it will be tantamount to exposing us to the eyes of the whole world. In this case, any hidden danger , all dare not show their faces."

"Once something unexpected happens to me during the process of accepting the award, then all the spearheads will inevitably be pointed at the United States. Another point is that I accept the award with a halo, and they dare not let me make a point at this time." What's up."

After Chen Zhou said these words, Qi Yin immediately reacted.

Just like what Chen Zhou said, the US government, which is deeply involved in dishonesty, really dare not let Chen Zhou have an accident in the US.

After all, Chen Zhou is directly related to the dishonesty incident.

If something happens to Chen Zhou again because of accepting the award, the country of America will inevitably be besieged by many scholars.

This is not only not conducive to the resolution of dishonesty incidents, but will add fuel to the fire.

Maybe, the United States will completely lose the trust of all scholars.

This is not an exaggeration, after all, for the United States, which claims to be the safest country.

If even an outstanding scholar is not willing to protect, or if it cannot be protected.

Aren't other scholars in the United States also in the same danger?
You know, the current Chen Zhou has the aura of being the youngest double award winner in history.

To a certain extent, he represents many scholars in academia.

After thinking about it, Qi Yin felt relieved, and said instead: "Professor Chen, we can take care of it tonight, and we can set off tomorrow."

"Okay, then can I trouble you to book a plane ticket?" Chen Zhou nodded.

"No problem." Qi Yin replied.

After the transfer to the Cray Mathematics Institute to receive the award was finalized, Chen Zhou was about to leave Xiong Hao's room.

When he reached the door, Chen Zhou stopped again, turned his head and said to Xiong Hao and Qi Yin: "You must pay attention to safety, everyone is here to receive the award, not to fight, you have to come happily and safely back."

Xiong Hao and Qi Yin nodded solemnly at Chen Zhou.
