The end of technology.

Of course, there must be more than two people on the special plane. In addition to the crew members of the two classes, there are also two teams of security personnel arranged by Qiangdun Company, totaling more than 30 people.

However, most of the staff were separated from Ning Zi and Dominit Duncan's range of activities on the plane.Except for Zhai Qiuxian, whose mission is to protect Ning Zi's safety 24 hours a day.

24-hour personal protection overseas is very serious.

However, the room booked for Ning Zi was originally a suite, even under the same roof, they could still rest in separate rooms.

……

As soon as he boarded the plane, Dominique Duncan was extremely excited. In the words of the Harvard professor, this was the first time he took such a spacious special plane.After all, although there are more than 30 people on the plane, the range of activities left for the three of them is nearly 30 square meters, which is indeed very spacious.

It's just that Ning Zi's composure quickly calmed down the excited Dominit Duncan.

He also didn't want to appear too uncommon.

In fact, the excitement mainly lies in the expectation that this long-distance trip will be extremely hard.

After all, the flight route is 1.7 kilometers long. According to the running time of general non-stop flights, even non-stop flights take about 30 hours.Anyone who has taken long-distance aviation knows that such a long flight time and long-term activities in the cramped space of the aircraft are a nightmare, even the so-called first class or business class is not much better.

After drinking a drink poured by the flight attendant, Dominit Duncan couldn't help but ask Ning Zi: "Do you take this kind of plane every time you travel in China?"

Ning Zi, who was thinking about the problem while holding the cat, looked up at Dominion Duncan and corrected his mistake: "This is my first time flying, what's wrong?"

Dominit Duncan was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Um...it's nothing, excuse me."

After finishing speaking, the young mathematics professor turned his attention to Zhai Qiuxian who was sitting on the side. A beautiful woman is more worthy of appreciation than this guy who is nothing but learning.

Zhai Qiuxian's attention was on the kitten in Ning Zi's arms.

She couldn't understand why Ning Zi had to take this cat with her despite dissuasion. After all, it is very troublesome to bring pets on this kind of international flight.

Although the reason Ning Zi gave was that kittens could make him feel at ease, she always felt that this was just an excuse...

It is indeed an excuse.

Although the kitten can go to Brazil by stomping its feet, it is difficult to explain if the kitten shows up.

It's better to hold it with you.

Anyway, various customs clearance documents and epidemic prevention certificates are not a big problem for March.

Of course, for Zhai Qiuxian, this is a small emotion used to pass the time on the journey. For her, Ning Zi's little hobby is not important.She was more concerned about how Ning Zi would fulfill what he had said in the future.

It's been a long time coming.

……

Finally, after a long journey of 26 hours, the plane landed at Rio de Janeiro International Airport.

When Ning Zi got off the plane with the crew, he left directly through the special passage negotiated before.The Chinese embassy in Rio de Janeiro sent a special car to meet him, which also made Ning Zi see an acquaintance—Professor Fang Xu as soon as he left the airport.

For Fang Xu, Fan Zhenhua's support must be indispensable to participate in this meeting as an official delegation.

But these are of course not important to Ning Zi. It is still very pleasant to see acquaintances in a foreign country.

Soon a group of people got into three cars separately.

Ning Zi, Dominique Duncan, Fang Xu and Zhai Qiuxian sat in the commercial car in the middle.

"Xiao Ning, when you arrive at the hotel, you should rest first. It is best to get up in the afternoon. Academician Fan has made an appointment with some friends and wants to introduce them to you." Fang Xu said after getting into the car.

Ning Zi thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, thank Academician Fan for his kindness. I don't intend to make friends this time."

"Eh..." Fang Xu's answer was somewhat unexpected, and he could only hold back the rest of the words.

When Dominit Duncan next to him heard this, he became energetic and suggested: "Ning, you are right, two days can't build any friendship, why don't I take you to see Rio this afternoon?" The beach. Really, Brazilians are very passionate and unrestrained, you will love it.”

Yes, in Huaxia for a year, this professor with high IQ has been able to understand simple conversations. Although his spoken English is still bad, his listening comprehension has passed at least CET-[-].

Ning Zi glanced at Dominion Duncan, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, you'd better go by yourself, I'm not interested either."

"Oh my God, Ning Zi, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, why don't you try it out?" Dominit Duncan asked in surprise.

"Are you leaving tomorrow afternoon? You won't be attending the dinner?" Fang Xu also asked in surprise.

Ning Zi's itinerary hadn't been discussed with the delegation before, and Fang Xu naturally didn't know about it.

"Yeah." Ning Zi glanced at Fang Xu, nodded, and then said: "So today I plan to take a good rest. Gather enough energy to attend tomorrow's meeting, and then I have to hurry. Help me to apologize to Academician Fan."

Fang Xu fell silent.

From this itinerary, he keenly sensed something unusual.

He even involuntarily prayed in his heart that the big guy in front of him should not make any trouble tomorrow, of course, this is not something he can worry about.

……

As he said, after arriving at the hotel, Ning Zi went directly into the room and hung up the sign of Do Not Disturb.

Before the conference started, he didn't plan to communicate with anyone.

Lunch and dinner are also delivered directly to the room after the staff prepares them.

At this time, the role of Zhai Qiuxian was highlighted.

This cold-faced beauty bodyguard does a decent job of refusing.She is not from the academic world, and she doesn't care who is who. When the big boss comes, anyway, as long as someone visits, she will just say that Ning Zi is resting and send it away.

Of course, a beautiful woman came forward to refuse, and the one they wanted to visit was still a young man, no matter how old the academic boss was, most of them would understand.She gave up the idea of ​​forcing a meeting with Ning Zi.

After all, this kind of thing is very easy to offend people.

Anyway, there are still nine days left for the conference, and there are more than 1200 reports. It is impossible for Ning Zi to stay in the room and not go out. He can always find a chance to communicate face to face.

Just like that, when Ning Zi walked out of the hotel room, it was already before the conference was about to start the next day, after the staff of the conference came to remind him.

Ning Zi has also adjusted her mentality.

……

When going from the hotel to the main venue, Ning Zi did not choose to go with the Huaxia delegation, not even with Dominion Duncan.He just quietly followed Zhai Qiuxian, who also got the qualification to enter the venue.

There were many mathematicians waiting to enter the venue at this time, but in fact, few of them could recognize Ning Zi.For the vast majority of foreign mathematicians, Ning Zi is still a new face.Especially when he and Zhai Qiuxian walked together without wearing the identification plate representing the special guest, it was easy to regard them as students who came to attend the meeting at their own expense.

Ning Zi took out the nameplate when he came to the venue of the conference, and was led into a special passage by the staff under the surprised eyes of many people.As a confirmed winner of the Fields Medal, Ning Zi is at the forefront of the conference.In fact, he does have this qualification.

When he came to his place, he saw that Dominit Duncan had arrived at the venue earlier than him, and was chatting vigorously with the people next to him.

"Ning Zi, you are finally here. Let me introduce you. This is Alessio Figalli. You should know him. I remember you read his paper, um, it's about optimal transmission theory .Look, Alessio, he is Ning Zi, an unbelievably young guy!"

He does know the mathematician, and is one of the mathematicians who will be awarded the Fields Medal this year.

It seems that this conference is very particular about the location arrangement, and several winners simply arranged together.It's just that Ning Zi still didn't have much interest in chatting. After nodding at the two of them, she sat down in her seat.

"Well, don't worry about it, Alessio, Ning is like this, he always likes to reject people thousands of miles away. But in fact, after a long time of contact, you will find that he is really difficult to deal with." Duncan spread his hands and said to Alessio Figali.

The volume control can also be heard in Ning Zi.

Ning Zi glanced sideways at Dominion Duncan, then looked past Dominion, and explained in standard diplomatic terms: "I'm sorry, I have a slight social phobia."

"Ah? Yes, there are indeed more people today."

"Um……"

After nodding in agreement, Ning Zi stopped making a sound...

During the time waiting for the meeting to start, many bigwigs came here to say hello to a few people and exchange a few words.This time, Alessio Figalli, who is more reliable than Dominique Duncan, kept helping Ning Zi to explain to every boss. Huaxia, a young mathematician, has a slight social phobia so that he can help Ning. Solved a lot of troubles...

At least a lot of unnecessary pleasantries were reduced.

Finally, half an hour later, the conference officially started. First, the chairman of the organizing committee of the conference, the professor, gave a speech, and then the president of the International Mathematical Union gave a speech.

After the two heavyweights finished their speeches, the conference directly entered the most exciting part, announcing and awarding the 4 major awards of the International Mathematical Union.

For a few lucky mathematicians, this is the scene worthy of their lifetime.

Ning Zi could feel the excitement of these award-winning mathematicians standing on the rostrum of the conference, and couldn't help but feel apologetic.After all, the good conference of mathematicians may divert attention this year because of some of his speeches.I'm somewhat sorry.

Soon, the first three awards were announced.

At the most important awarding session of this conference, the winner of the Fields Medal was announced.

Mathematician Shigefumi Mori, a Fields Medalist winner of the President of the International Mathematical Union, started the introduction.

"Okay, I'm announcing that the announcement of the Fields Medal winners is next. First of all, the mathematician I want to introduce to you is an Italian genius mathematician. He has a very deep understanding of the method of variation. But more importantly, he was the first to combine the optimal transport theory and the Monge-CAmpère equation, which greatly improved people's understanding of fluid mechanics, computer image processing and other fields... Yes, he is Allais Theo Figalli..."

At this moment, the auditorium of the opening ceremony burst into applause.

Chapter 116 Thanks to the man who is the goddess of mathematics

After the thunderous applause, Ning Yu quietly watched Alessio Figali deliver his acceptance speech on stage.

The young mathematician was very excited to win the world's top mathematics award obviously...

Well, it is obvious that Alessio Figali is not too young compared to Dominit Duncan and his age. At 36 years old, he is ten years older than Dominit Duncan, but for scholars As far as this profession is concerned, it is still in its prime.

Of course these are not the point.

Ning Ruo suddenly found a problem, he didn't prepare an acceptance speech at all.

Alessio Figali can thank many people on stage and easily waste the minutes left by the organizer, but obviously Ning Ruo has no such consciousness at all.In terms of academic achievements, he most needs to thank March, but obviously no one wants to listen to the story of a man and a cat on this occasion.

Not to mention that March doesn't even bother with this kind of gratitude.

So Ning Yu suddenly realized that having him give such a long acceptance speech would be a disaster for today's conference.

At this point, Ning Zhi's eyes fell on Dominette Duncan who was beside him.

He raised his hand and slapped it on Dominette Duncan, who was looking at the stage intently, in exchange for the guy turning his head and looking puzzled.

Ning Yu ignored it and just explained: "If you are the first to come on stage, try to talk as much as possible and delay for a while. In case I go up first... when I see you, you will go up and help me out of the siege."

"Uh..." Dominette Duncan looked at Ning Yu for a moment, and could see the seriousness in this guy's eyes, and then looked at Alessio Fei, who was still excitedly expressing his thoughts on the stage. Gary, after nodding, began to pray in his heart that it would be best if he could come to the stage first.

It's not a big problem for him to go on stage and talk nonsense for a while, everyone should be able to bear it.

But if Ning Yu came to power first, at the four-yearly conference of mathematicians, it would be a bit outrageous to go up to grab the microphone without reading his name.Maybe Ning Yu could figure it out.

Without letting him struggle for too long, Alessio Figali on the stage had already finished his speech, and took him to receive his medal and bonus from Sen Zhongwen - a check for $1500, go off the podium.

Although the prize money is incomparable to the Nobel Prize and the Turing Award, it is certain that the weight of the medal and the courtesy received after winning it will definitely not be worse than the other two awards.

"It's up to me to announce the second recipient of this year's Fields Medal... well, I don't want to sell anything this time, he's supposed to be the young mathematician who broke the youngest Fields Medal winner. , of course, he still broke the record for the youngest winner of the Fields Medal now on stage, well, please welcome Dominette Duncan, the Norwegian-born mathematician almost made a history."

Sen Chongwen said with a smile on the stage, and the applause from the audience sounded again.

Dominette Duncan breathed a sigh of relief when Sen Zhongwen said "He should have broken the record".The task explained by Ning Yu became simpler, of course, this arrangement was in line with common sense, because it was only appropriate for Wang Zhai to come out last.

Of course, he was only relieved, because when he took the stage, he still had to think about how to make himself speak more.

……

"Thank you, thank you Professor Sen Zhongwen, and thank you all. There is no doubt that today will be an extremely important day in my life, although I have already prepared... Well, I admit that the organizing committee has notified me of the award in advance, Probably early, um... two months... Yes, Mr. Chairman informed me of the good news in January, probably because I was too young and not stable enough, give me more time to think about how to say the acceptance speech. "

A small joke was exchanged for a chuckle from the audience.

Ning Wei didn't laugh, but he thought that Dominette Duncan had a talent for speaking.

When the laughter stopped, Dominette Duncan continued: "But I was still very excited at this time, even so excited that I didn't know what to say. Then let's talk about my understanding of mathematics. You should know that I am now I was an exchange professor at Yanbei Sports University in Huaxia. Before my trip to China, I thought it was mathematics. Well, at least pure mathematics should be very conservative. It follows its own way of evolution. A very special law is very mysterious. way of evolution.”

"But when I went to Huaxia, I met a person who made me change my opinion. Well, I believe everyone knows his name, yes, it's him, Ning Yu, my guide in the field of mathematics Ming Lan... Yes, I'm not wrong, it is Ming Lan, because he used a very strong way to quench many of my fantasies about mathematics..."

Another burst of light laughter also caused the eyes of many people around Ning Ruo to focus on him.

Ning Yu is helpless...

After all, he made it very clear, just let Dominette Duncan waste a little more time, instead of letting him do his acceptance speech for himself.

Of course, Ning Ruo didn't care about this, he was just pity for Dominette Duncan.

To mention him at length in his speech on this occasion today is indeed unpredictable.But at this time he couldn't remind him, he could only see how Dominite Duncan played.

"Really, I'm not exaggerating. In fact, I persuaded President Summers to let him agree to let me go to Yanbei Sports University as an exchange professor. The idea was to compete with Ning Wei. Yes, I want to prove to him that I am the real darling of heaven, the youngest and most promising one in the contemporary mathematics world. I even thought of declaring war on him by picking the brightest pearl of modern mathematics for the rest of my life and letting Ning Ruo Understand who is the strongest opponent in his life."

"But something happened that completely dispelled all my thoughts... I guess you must want to know what it is, right?"

Dominette Duncan was right. When he asked this question, the applause broke out again, and some even began to whistle, and others shouted: "yes, yes!"

Look, it's very easy, time can be delayed, and the current president of the International Union of Mathematicians who is presiding over the award ceremony can't even interrupt him. After all, who doesn't want to hear the story of a mathematician?Aren't the stories of many well-known mathematicians told on such occasions, and then passed on from ten to ten, and finally passed on into various legends of later generations?

Still only Ning Ruo smiled bitterly in his heart.

Ah……

He admired Dominette Duncan more and more.

After telling this little story on such an occasion today, even if he sends good thoughts in the next three months, probably the mathematician will not be able to go back to Harvard.
