I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 862 The most dazzling star in the history of human mathematics, the light that illuminates the future of mathematics!

At 14:00 in the afternoon, Principal Gu Bojun found that he seemed to be a little worried.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun stood on the stage that attracted global attention, with calm expressions. Qin Ke also had a relaxed smile on his face, which made Gu Bojun unconsciously think about the countless miracles Qin Ke had created, and his heart was half-suspended. Put it down easily.

This boy always has a magical power that makes people feel that there is no problem in the world that can defeat him.

The judges who came to the review meeting today include Edward Witten, Professor Karen Uhlenbeck, and Mr. Qiu, and there are even more remote judges, including the most authoritative contemporary mathematics master of nonlinear partial differential equations. One of them, Mr. Pierre-Louis Lyons, his student Professor Alessio Figali, Professor Luis Caffarelli of the University of Texas at Austin, Professor Tao Zhexuan of the University of California, etc., in total There are 26 people, all of whom are Fields Medal winners, Wolf Prize winners, and Abel Prize winners.

The Clay Research Institute also sent three mathematics experts to the site of Qingmu University.

In order to verify the "Proof of the Mass Gap Problem of the Yang-Mills Equation and the Mathematical Interpretation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics", a great paper destined to have a profound impact on the mathematics and physics circles, the IMU International Mathematical Union and the Clay Institute They have put on the most luxurious lineup, and just inviting these masters to serve as judges will cost a lot of money.

Qin Ke's parents, sister, grandfather, teachers, Academician Wang Henglao, Academician Jiang Weixian, Academician Tian Jianlan, Coach Deng Hongguo, Professor Shi Cunyuan, Professor Lin Haibo, as well as acquaintances such as Professor Chen Licheng and Academician Guo Weiyang, he and Ning Of course, all of Qingjun's 24 graduate students were sitting in the audience, watching their mentor's dazzling moment.

Luslan Baker's eyes were full of envious little stars: "Do you think we will have the opportunity to stand on an international stage of this level and give academic reports in the future?"

Jiang Xiaopang spread his hands: "How high the level of our instructors is. No matter how bad we are, we can still stand at a higher starting point than others. It shouldn't be difficult to stand on the international stage, but if we want to stand on the level of Brother Ke and Sister-in-law I don’t see much chance on such a high-end stage where the world is paying attention.”

Liang Shaoping clenched his fists: "My goal is to stand on the IMU report stage, even a 30-minute report will do."

Hua Manting has the best attitude: "I don't have such high aspirations as you. After graduation, sister Xuan and I can stay and work in Brother Ke's laboratory."

Luslan Baker asked Li Xiangxue, who didn't talk much: "Xiangxue, what about you?"

"Same as Hua Man Ting." Li Xiangxue is still as concise and concise as before. His personality is no longer so awkward, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder has also improved, but he is still not good at communicating with others and doesn't like to talk.Liu Honglan from the girls group was a little interested in him, but he never had any intention of getting close to him. He would only smile when facing Qin Ke, and made up his mind to work in Qin Ke's laboratory after graduation. Everyone even joked: "You are a crooked kid, aren't you?"

In this regard, Li Xiangxue only said: "Brother Ke is like my big brother."

Probably for this boy who has lacked friendship, lack of family affection, lacked the care of his elders and had an awkward personality since he was a child, Qin Ke is indeed the elder brother he has longed for. It is not surprising that he is willing to follow Qin Ke's footsteps, not to mention his The property given to him by his remarried father was enough for him to squander for two lifetimes. He did not have to worry about money at all in this life. He only needed to immerse himself in the research on academic problems that he liked to make his life more fulfilling.

Yu Jinglin listened to everyone's conversation and sighed: "You are very lucky. You are studying with two academicians for five years and three months. I have only two years and three months left. I am really reluctant to give up. "

Badaz Schaffer, Jiang Zhixiang, Ashley Keda, Tang Xiaoyuan, Arianna Winters and others who are also doctoral students all nodded in agreement.

Ph.D. students like Yu Jinglin really want to spend more time studying with their two mentors, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. This period of study has been very rewarding for them, and they can feel their progress every day.

But the rules Qin Ke set for them are still very strict. If you want to graduate early, you can just meet the set graduation conditions, but you are not allowed to postpone graduation. If you have not met the graduation conditions within three years, you can have an extension of one month at most. , if after the grace period you still haven’t obtained the academic results that meet the graduation requirements, sorry, you can go back to where you came from. As for the graduation certificate and degree certificate, don’t count on it.

Therefore, it is impossible to study with two academicians for a longer period of time by postponing graduation.

"Hush, it's about to begin. Let's listen to the report carefully first. This opportunity is very rare." Sun Xiuya made a silent gesture, and everyone fell silent.

This report meeting and review meeting still have the same process. The first two hours are the time for the special report, and the next hour is the review time.

Because Ning Qingyun cannot consume too much energy, Ning Qingyun is responsible for the explanation and report link, and Qin Kelai is responsible for the review link that requires the most brain cells. In addition, Qin Ke is also responsible for the English translation of the explanation and report link.

Ning Qingyun stood behind the podium. The high podium blocked her belly. From the front, Ning Qingyun had almost no change from the girl she was before she was pregnant. She was still so pure, charming and radiant. The live broadcast room was filled with comments such as "So beautiful, Academician Ning" and "Both beauty and intelligence, unparalleled female academic god".

As for the content of the report, more than 95% of the audience did not understand it at all, but the remaining less than 5% listened extremely carefully.

"The Proof of the Mass Gap Problem in the Yang-Mills Equation and the Mathematical Interpretation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics" is very difficult. No more than a thousand people can understand it by repeatedly studying and reading reference materials on their own. Most mathematicians and Physicists have a lot of unanswered questions.

The answers to these questions that had troubled them for a long time and even made them forget about food and drinks were in Ning Qingyun's report. How could they be distracted for half a second and miss such a precious opportunity?

Ning Qingyun's report did not disappoint these mathematicians and physicists. She had already asked Weiguang to collect relevant feedback and messages on arXiv and various major forums and social platforms online, and compiled the questions that had been raised by others. , as well as the difficulties in the paper, are broken down one by one and explained in detail during the report.

This made the academic circles who really have the right to speak full of praise for this special report, and their evaluation of Ning Qingyun has skyrocketed. Many people said "a very wonderful report" and "Academician Ning's academic level is frighteningly high." ", "I will watch the video again and again until I fully understand this great paper"...

There were no critical judges during the one-hour review session. After each judge asked questions one by one, they voted collectively and unanimously passed the review of the paper.The number of viewers of the entire academic live broadcast continued to increase, and eventually exceeded the previous record of the number of viewers of the "NS Equation Symposium", breaking the [-] million mark in one fell swoop, once again setting a new record for the number of online viewers of an academic live broadcast in the world's history.

After the review, IMU and the Clay Institute quickly issued an announcement on their website, officially announcing that the Millennium Mathematics Problem "Yang-Mills Existence and Quality Gap Problem" has been solved jointly by Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun. Thank you for this. The young couple have made indelible and huge contributions to the cultural progress of mankind, and they are called "the most dazzling stars in the history of human mathematics, the light that illuminates the future of mathematics!"

Mr. Andrea Lucas, the representative of the Clay Institute, also held a ceremony directly after the review meeting and with hundreds of millions of viewers. It was not a gorgeous event, but it was definitely the one with the largest number of viewers. At the academic awards ceremony, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who solved the "Yang-Mills existence and quality gap problem", were presented with Clay Research Award certificates and a bonus of US$100 million.

Facing the media's cameras, Andrea Lucas said humorously: "The last time I came to Xia's capital to present awards and bonuses to Academician Qin and Academician Ning was in October last year. I didn't expect that in just half a Around this time, I set foot on this magical land again, and once again presented them with new certificates and bonuses. They are also the mathematicians who have won the Cray Research Award twice in a row in history. I am very happy to do this again. The country has given them the Cray Research Award and the US$10 million bonus for the third time. I hope they can fulfill my wish. After all, I will retire at the end of next year.”

Yes, it was the audience and students who were being interviewed at this time. Because Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun gave a three-hour report and defense and needed a break, their interview time was arranged from 8 to 9 p.m. point.

The scale of this evening media meeting, or interview meeting, is extremely large. The total number of reporters from various countries alone exceeds 300, and it will continue to be broadcast live around the world.

Under countless flashing lights, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun walked back to the stage hand in hand, but this time they were sitting on their seats. Qin Ke also carefully covered Ning Qingyun's belly with a thin blanket. There were many people here. , the air conditioner switch is a bit fierce.

Ning Qingyun's face was slightly red, and her fingers were clasped tightly with him. Showing off her affection in front of countless people made Ning Qingyun feel shy and sweet at the same time.

Qin Ke then smiled and said to the reporters: "Good evening, everyone. Before the interview, Qingjun and I have news to announce. We plan to establish two global women's mathematics research awards, one called 'Karen· The Uhlenbeck Mathematics Achievement Award' and the other one is called the 'Lime Mathematics Hope Award', the specific details will be explained by my wife."

Ning Qingyun turned on the microphone in front of her and faced countless cameras. She was quite comfortable on the academic stage in the afternoon, but now she was a little nervous.

Under Qin Ke's encouraging gaze, Ning Qingyun raised her beautiful and pure face, carefully explained the selection conditions, quotas and bonuses for the two awards, and then said: "Mathematics is a very beautiful 'language' , I hope these awards can inspire more girls who love mathematics to go further on the road to mathematics."

She didn't say anything about gender differences or unfairness. She was not good at and didn't like provoking conflicts. She just expressed her wishes truthfully.

Professor Karen Uhlenbeck, who was in the audience, felt helpless but also pleased and took the lead in applauding. Countless reporters followed suit.Apart from anything else, the annual bonus payment of US$1000 million is a considerable sum. You must know that the Scientific Breakthrough Award, which has always been known as a "huge bonus", has a total annual bonus of just over US$1000 million.

Audiences who watched the live broadcast on the Internet flooded with positive comments and likes.

The reporters at the scene hurriedly recorded this big news. When the applause subsided, the formal interview began.

Each reporter was assigned a number and received the opportunity to ask questions in the form of a random drawing. Because the opportunity was rare and the time was only one hour, no reporter would waste their precious time. The first reporter to be drawn was the Eagle Country Times. Reporter, he asked directly: "Academician Qin Ke, will you continue to enter other millennium mathematical conjectures?"

"Yes, my wife and I will continue the previous work on proving the 'Hodge Conjecture'."

This news has been rumored for a long time, but it is still very exciting. After all, this sentence was said by Qin Ke and his wife, who had solved three millennium mathematical problems in succession.

The second reporter asked: "How is your research progress on the 'Hodge Conjecture'? When will it be solved?"

"My wife and I started studying the 'Hodge Conjecture' two years ago. However, this problem is too difficult and there has not been much progress. However, we now have a general idea. Maybe we will combine the proof of this conjecture with Combined with the construction of a new framework theory for the unification of mathematics. Of course, recently our energy has not been able to focus on mathematical problems, and I am afraid that this work will not be officially promoted until the end of this year."

The reporters were constantly rotating, but the topics they asked were well followed.

"Academician Qin Ke, did you just say that you two are busy? I wonder what research you are busy with?"

"Currently in academic terms, we are mainly working with Professor Witten, Mr. Qiu, and Professor Uhlenbeck on the topic of 'Theoretical Unification of Strong Interaction Force and Electromagnetic Force'. In terms of scientific research, most of our energy is concentrated in the second half of the year. In response to the severe drought disaster caused by the 'El Niño phenomenon', including opening a saltwater desalination and purification plant in Qinghai Lake, building and improving the water supply network and water storage system, etc...."

The news that Qin Ke and Professor Witten collaborated on the research project "Theoretical Unification of Strong Interaction Force and Electromagnetic Force" was reported as early as February. Edward Witten is also a very important figure in the international physics community. He became Qingmu How could the university's visiting professor stay in Xia for a long time without causing a sensation and discussion?

At that moment, several reporters asked about this topic, and also asked Mr. Qiu and Professor Uhlenbeck whether they were members of the research team.

After answering, Qin Ke once again brought the topic back to the "El Niño phenomenon."

A reporter sharply asked: "Academician Qin, we know that you have spoken out in the media and on the Internet many times before, saying that a serious El Niño phenomenon may occur this year. The meteorological forecast centers of some countries have also given certain warnings on this point. Yes, but almost no one in the industry agrees with the issues of 'severe drought' and 'strained fresh water resources' that you have repeatedly raised, because as we all know, the impact of El Niño on the northern hemisphere, especially in Xiaguo, is often heavy rainfall and floods. There has never been a severe drought, so what is the basis for your judgment?"
