Xueba starts with change

Chapter 664 Million Dollar Reward
The atmosphere of the whole dinner party was extraordinarily lively.

All those who participated in this dinner were specially invited by James Carlson.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Zhou was once again given a lot of alcohol.

Chen Zhou didn't want to drink too much, but helplessly, these people were too enthusiastic.

As soon as I finished chatting with one person, the next one followed.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Chen Zhou to refuse directly.

However, after these several banquets, Chen Zhou also began to have a clear understanding of his drinking capacity.

Especially when he caught a glimpse of Delia sitting not far away, Chen Zhou calculated his alcohol consumption accurately.

He was really afraid that this beautiful reporter would knock on his door again at night.

After sending away another young mathematician who was "having a good time with each other", Chen Zhou finally had time to sit down on a chair.

Sitting quietly and watching other people's bustle is one of Chen Zhou's favorite things.

By the end of the dinner, it was nearly 10 o'clock in the evening.

Chen Zhou went straight back to the room, washed up briefly, and fell asleep.

In fact, Chen Zhou was indeed a little tired after sitting on the plane for so long, coupled with the continuous entertainment.

If possible, Chen Zhou felt that he should try to attend these banquets as little as possible.

As far as he is concerned, most of these banquets are just passing through the scene, saying some words that don't have much practical meaning.

If you have this time, you might as well look through the literature more, or think more about meaningful research topics.

If James Carlson knew what Chen Zhou was thinking, he would probably look depressed.

Early the next morning, Chen Zhou got up and went out for a morning run with Xiong Hao.

After developing good living habits, Chen Zhou has not missed the morning run except for his liver explosion research.

This is also the reason why his physical fitness is always good.

As for Xiong Hao, after knowing that Chen Zhou was going to run in the morning, he never missed a single session.

Of course, the scope of Chen Zhou's morning run is very small.

This is also out of Chen Zhou's consideration for his own safety.

Although everything at the airport yesterday has proved his guess.

However, some unnecessary factors should be excluded as much as possible.

After the morning run, Chen Zhou and Xiong Hao returned to the hotel and settled for breakfast.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, this time the million dollar award ceremony officially began.

In the Clay Institute of Mathematics, many media reporters and scholars who came to visit the award ceremony gathered.

Everyone is curious about the Millennium Mathematics Prize, which was awarded for the first time.

After all, among the various awards in mathematics, rewards of one million dollars are rare.

However, these seven Millennium Prize puzzles are definitely worth the million dollar reward.

On the podium, James Carlson, director of the Clay Institute of Mathematics, is delivering a speech.

"Professor Chen Zhou overcame the Yang-Mills gauge field existence and mass interval problems, and brought this problem that has lasted from the last century to the present to an end!"

"This is an important breakthrough in the history of mathematics research, and will always be remembered! The answer to Yang-Mills' gauge field existence and mass interval hypothesis will once again promote the development of mathematics!"

"I think, whether it is Professor Yang or Professor Mills, they must be very happy when they learned of this result. Because they saw the research ability of young people, and also saw the difficult problem they discovered. , greater and more practical use value!"

When speaking of this, James Carlson paused at the right time.

And the whole venue immediately burst into warm applause.

This applause is given not only to James Carlson who conducted the research, but also to Chen Zhou who solved the problem of the Millennium Prize.

The reason why human mathematics can continue to develop is precisely because of scholars like Chen Zhou.

In continuous exploration and research, solve those remaining problems, so as to promote the development of new mathematics.

The same is true for other subjects besides mathematics.

After the applause fell, James Carlson continued his speech.

"The award this time was recommended by the Special Advisory Committee, and then finally decided by the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Clay Mathematics Institute and the chairman of the committee..."

James Carlson's speech was not a long one.

On the one hand, he lavishly praised Chen Zhou's achievements.

On the other hand, it introduces the birth process of this award issued by the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

At the end of the speech, James Carlson said: "Next, let us welcome Professor Chen Zhou to the stage with warm applause and accept this award!"

As soon as James Carlson finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the venue again.

As Chen Zhou got up, the applause became more and more enthusiastic.

After Chen Zhou stood up, he politely greeted the people around him, smiled and nodded.

Then, he left his seat and walked towards the podium.

The applause also accompanied Chen Zhou's footsteps, until Chen Zhou stepped onto the podium, and then gradually disappeared.

On the awards stage, Chen Zhou bowed slightly again to express his gratitude for the warm applause.

Afterwards, Chen Zhou shook hands with James Carlson who offered to extend his hand.

James Carlson said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Professor Chen Zhou!"

Chen Zhou replied politely: "Thank you."

It's just that Chen Zhou has been observing how the reward of one million dollars is given to himself.

Anyway, the money is still safe in the pocket.

This is also the truth that Chen Zhou has always believed in.

While Chen Zhou was observing, the two hostesses had already walked to the awarding platform with a check for a reward of 100 million US dollars.

Seeing this scene, Chen Zhou immediately felt relieved.

As long as it can be taken away on the spot, that's fine.

Also on stage with Miss Manners was Miodrag Dexter, the chairman of the Scientific Advisory Council of the Cray Mathematical Institute, whom James Carlson mentioned earlier.

As soon as Miodrag Dexter took the stage, he also shook hands with Chen Zhou on his own initiative.

Regardless of reputation and status, Chen Zhou is definitely the No.1 among everyone on stage in terms of achievements in the academic world.

Therefore, even Miodrag Dexter, the chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Clay Mathematics Institute, felt that he should take the initiative to shake hands with Chen Zhou.

Of course, this aspect not only shows the Cray Mathematics Institute's respect for Chen Zhou, but also shows the Cray Mathematics Institute's hospitality.

After all the bonus checks and award-presenting guests are on stage, it will be the official award-giving ceremony.

"Congratulations, Professor Chen Zhou, this million dollar reward belongs to you!"

"Thank you."

Under the frantic flickering of flashlights from the media, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced in 2000 that the first prize for mathematical puzzles was finally awarded.

Chen Zhou, who holds a million dollars in his hand, is still in a good mood.

This is also the highest reward he has ever received.

After the award ceremony, according to international practice, it is time to release the acceptance speech.

Under the gesture of James Carlson, Chen Zhou also walked to the center of the awarding platform, tidied up his clothes a little, and then began his acceptance speech.

"After solving the problem of the existence and mass interval of Yang-Mills gauge field, I was thinking, when will the Clay Institute of Mathematics award me this $100 million reward..."

Before Chen Zhou finished speaking, there was already a burst of laughter in the venue.

After hearing Chen Zhou's opening remarks, everyone realized that Professor Chen, who is obsessed with research, seemed quite interesting.

If it is them, it must be the same. After solving the problem of the Millennium Award, of course they have to think about when the award will be awarded.

Chen Zhou also smiled softly, and then continued: "What I didn't expect is that Director James sent me an invitation email just after my participation in the International Conference of Mathematicians."

"When I first received the email, I was still wondering whether Director James had calculated the time so that I could receive another award without interruption after winning the Fields Medal..."

Chen Zhou's words caused everyone in the venue to laugh again.

James Carlson, who was standing not far away, also had a smile on his lips.

Although Chen Zhou was joking, what he said was somewhat similar to what James Carlson had in mind.

The Clay Institute of Mathematics really wanted to take advantage of the fact that Chen Zhou had just won the Fields Medal and became the youngest winner in the history of the Fields Medal to award this million-dollar reward.

This can attract the greatest degree of attention and enhance the influence of the Cray Mathematics Institute.

When everyone quieted down, Chen Zhou said again: "For me, since it is something I have been thinking about for a long time, I will naturally not refuse it. After all, who would think that there are too few awards?"

Another burst of good-natured laughter.

Everyone at the moment only felt that this Professor Chen was really down-to-earth.

"But then again, I am very grateful to the Clay Institute of Mathematics for awarding me this million-dollar reward! I am also very honored to have solved one of the seven millennium problems and received this million-dollar reward !"

"I hope that fellow mathematicians will also be able to forge ahead bravely and achieve outstanding research results on the remaining five Millennium Prize problems! So as to win the reward of one million dollars!"

"Of course, for myself, I am also very interested in the remaining five millennium prize puzzles. If I have the opportunity, I will also try to solve the remaining millennium prize puzzles. several times……"

When it came to this, Chen Zhou himself laughed first.

In addition to his interest in the remaining five Millennium Prize puzzles, he also has a strong interest in the remaining $500 million prize.

For everyone in the venue, apart from the kind smiles, it was more of imagination.

Does this represent Chen Zhou's declaration of war on the remaining five Millennium Grand Prize problems?

Does this mean that Chen Zhou will fully devote himself to the research of the remaining Millennium Prize problems?

Or, after Chen Zhou solved the Yang-Mills gauge field existence and mass interval assumptions, he has already started the research of the next Millennium Prize problem?
If so, which one is he working on?
Especially in the venue, there are some mathematicians who have fantasies about the Millennium Prize problem and the million-dollar reward.

I am even more eager to know whether Chen Zhou has already started research on the next Millennium Award problem.

After all, they don't want to collide with Chen Zhou...

At the beginning, the dispute over the right to prove Goldbach's conjecture left a deep impression on them.

James Carlson, who was on the side, looked at Chen Zhou with some changes after being slightly taken aback.

Could it be that Professor Chen Zhou has some ideas about the Clay Institute of Mathematics?
Do you want to invite him?
Chen Zhou naturally did not expect that his own words would attract so many conjectures.

In fact, he had neither the idea of ​​joining the Cray Math Institute nor starting any work on the next Millennium Prize puzzle.

He simply said what he thinks.

But who would have thought that so many people would be wronged by his simple words.

In such a brisk acceptance speech, Chen Zhou also ended his award ceremony.

After stepping down with his million-dollar reward, Chen Zhou began to inquire about where he could withdraw the check...

On the stage, James Carlson took the microphone after Chen Zhou delivered his acceptance speech, and said with a touch of excitement: "The Clay Institute of Mathematics and I look forward to your research on the remaining Millennium Prize problems. I also very much hope that the mathematics community can solve all these problems!"

"Our Clay Institute of Mathematics has prepared a million-dollar reward for every difficult problem, and we are just waiting for every mathematician to claim it! Of course, we are also very much looking forward to seeing you again, Professor Chen Zhou!"

Hearing what James Carlson said, Chen Zhou just smiled slightly.

Chen Zhou didn't mind that the other party used his acceptance speech to promote a wave of operations again.

After all, I already took someone else's $100 million...

After the award ceremony, there was a luncheon arranged by the Clay Institute of Mathematics.

Last night's reception was a reception dinner for Chen Zhou, but today's is a more formal lunch.

In this regard, Chen Zhou grinned and wanted to refuse, but in the end he didn't say it.

At the luncheon, Chen Zhou didn't drink much.

It's just that the same question was answered by one person, but the next one came again.

No way, everyone wants to confirm the conjectures triggered by his acceptance speech.

After finally surviving the luncheon, Chen Zhou quickly left and returned to his room.

As for those media reporters who still want to interview themselves, forget it...

After resting in the room for a while, Chen Zhou changed his clothes and prepared to go out to transfer the million dollar reward to his account.

He has already checked, where is the bank where the money is withdrawn.

This is the real peace of mind.

Moreover, Chen Zhou had already made up his mind that after the money was transferred to his account, he would transfer it to Zhang Yifan and the others in batches.

The US$100 million will all be used as research funds for Zhang Yifan's team.

Chen Zhou also planned to tell Zhang Yifan and his research team about this news.

After all, joy needs to be shared...

Also save Zhang Yifan, who always said that he searched and searched.
