"But it should be noted that there are exceptions, whether it is the International Conference of Mathematicians or the Nobel Prize." Zhang Shouwu raised his brows, "Xiao Zhuang, think about it, you have made something that no one can do for more than half a century. It has been made, and it has won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize for doing the peripheral projects of this problem.”

"You just solved this problem directly."

"I don't deny that in many cases, the jury of the organizing committee is more inclined towards older mathematicians who are eligible for the award. They may only have one chance to win the Philippine Award, the highest award in mathematics. For mathematicians For me, the Fields Medal is the lifelong pursuit of every mathematician."

"But Xiao Zhuang, you are really different from others." Zhang Shouwu said so many words in a row without taking a breath.Clearly organized, "If you don't win the Fields Medal for this difficult problem you solved, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the entire academic community. Whether they are supporters of conspiracy theories or not, they will think that such a selection is unfair. The difficulty of Yang-Missl's existence and quality gap is obvious to all, even conspiracy theorists. I am afraid they are trying to find evidence from your paper that you did not write it alone, instead of letting the organizing committee award this award give others."

"No matter who is, as long as he solves one of the problems of the Millennium Award, he is eligible to win the Fields Award. Moreover, he will definitely win the Fields Award." Zhang Shouwu said firmly, "Even if the other party is a For three-year-old children, the organizing committee must award awards to each other. Because this represents the highest level of our current era!"

"So that's it." Only then did Zhuang Weiran realize that there were more twists and turns than he had imagined.

It seems that no matter which circle you are in, there are rules.

That is to say, the academic circle looks taller. Although there are still many unspeakable things in it, fortunately, the academic circle is large enough and there are many scientists who are dedicated to research.Only then can the virtuous circle of academia continue.

Zhang Shouwu gave Zhuang Weiran an affirmative look, "Don't worry, you can boldly go to Seoul to receive the Fields Award."

"Thank you, Professor Zhang." Zhuang Weiran breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was almost a run with me this year."

Zhuang Weiran is still very confident that he is a candidate for the Philippine Award winner.Although he may not be able to win the award, his name must be on the list of candidates.

"You'll know when the time comes." Zhang Shouwu said with a mysterious smile, "But Xiao Zhuang, you're right. Before the Philippine Award comes out, no one knows who the winner will be. We can only rely on guesswork."

"But even so, Xiao Zhuang, you are definitely the No. [-] candidate." After Professor Zhang Shouwu finished speaking, he said happily, "Xiao Zhuang, you are about to become the first Fields Medal winner in China. I know, You must return to Huaguo. I personally hope that you can bring out more Fields Medal winners in Huaguo."

"Our Huaguo is not considered weak in the whole world now. Don't forget, our Huaguo is still very good now." Professor Zhang said in a deep voice, "Sometimes I think——Our Huaguo's mathematics should not There is not even a Fields Medal. It is true that we in Huaguo, even those of Chinese origin, have won Fields Medals and even become top mathematicians. But since the establishment of the Fields Medal, there has never been a Huaguo nationality People who have won this award. I have to say that this is Huaguo's regret, and it is also the biggest regret of Huaguo's mathematics community. I hope Xiaozhuang, you can make up for the regret, and I believe you have the ability to make up for the regret."

"I... try my best." In fact, later in Huaguo, especially in the past ten years or so, there have been many god-level figures who are eligible to win the Fields Award. Unfortunately, none of those gods were able to win the Phil It's a pity, I have to say.

Therefore, Professor Zhang Shouwu hopes that Zhuang Weiran can win this honor, so that Huaguo can also become a country with Fields Medal, and truly become a powerful country in mathematics.After all, compared with many countries with Fields Medals, especially Europe and lighthouse countries, there is still a big gap.

"Not as much as possible." Zhang Shouwu said, "Believe me, Xiaozhuang, you will definitely win the Fields Medal."

"Thank you, Professor Zhang." Zhuang Weiran was stunned for a moment, and the meal was quite enjoyable for the host and guest.

After he left Zhang Shouwu's house and returned to the rented house, he continued to study the weak Goldbach's conjecture.The weak Goldbach conjecture is a difficult problem in number theory, and the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap that Zhuang Weiran solved before is in the fields of partial differential equations and quantum mechanics.Clearly, two completely different taxonomic subjects.

So it is not surprising that Zhuang Weiran's progress is slower, although he is also very knowledgeable in number theory.But he was studying Mathematical Physics with Dr. Tao Hanhai.Therefore, the research speed in number theory is slower than his research speed in mathematical physics or theoretical physics.

In recent years, his focus has been on partial differential equations and theoretical physics, such as quantum mechanics, classical field theory, and electromagnetic field theory.After arriving at Princeton, he picked up number theory, which he hadn't studied since his Ph.D., and Zhuang Weiran could accept it at a slower speed.

So he's enjoying himself quite a bit now.

Study in a rented house and no one bothers you.He only has one or two classes every week, and the rest of the time, according to the words of the professors at Princeton University, he is free to do whatever he wants.

…………

"Professor Tao." Cheng Qiu ran to Tao Hanhai's office and saw Cheng Qiu's hands and feet. Tao Hanhai frowned and stared at Cheng Qiu and said, "How old are you? You are still so hands and feet, and you haven't cleaned up at all."

Tao Hanhai has recruited a few more doctoral students, and right now he is in Tao Hanhai's office, scratching his head and solving problems.When they saw Cheng Qiu coming in, their eyes were shining. Although this senior brother said he graduated from Professor Tao, he looked like he was here to rescue them.

"Don't you know yet?"

"Know what?" Professor Tao Hanhai calmly practiced brush calligraphy on the desk, and said to Cheng Qiu, "Cheng Qiu, I think it's time for you to practice brush calligraphy, calm down, don't be so frizzy all the time."

"No." Cheng Qiu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, "I heard that Junior Brother Zhuang solved Zhou's conjecture when he was in class at Princeton University."

"Oh!" Professor Tao Hanhai responded calmly, "So?"

"What's the reason?" Cheng Qiu turned around anxiously, "That's the classroom of Princeton University, and there are so many eyes staring at it."

"What are you worried about?" Professor Tao Hanhai gave Cheng Qiu a blank look, and continued to practice calligraphy calmly, as if he didn't hear anything.

But those doctoral students all pricked up their ears.Brother Zhuang solved Zhou's conjecture?As expected, beyond reason.Hasn't Brother Zhuang been studying theoretical physics for the past few years?Why did he suddenly go to study pure mathematics like number theory?

"No, professor, tell me, what should I do if Junior Brother Zhuang is negligent in solving the problem? I know about it in Huaguo, so it can be said that it has spread all over the world."

"En." Professor Tao Hanhai is still there.

"Professor, are you... really not in a hurry?"

"Have you read his paper?"

"Isn't this not coming out yet? I see that my junior has never uploaded the proof of unraveling Zhou's conjecture to arxiv." Cheng Qiu was sweating profusely, "Tell me, did something happen? Something so important The matter, how could it be possible that the younger brother did not upload the paper to arxiv. Now many people are discussing that the younger brother may not have solved it, and he was ashamed at Princeton University."

"Why don't you call your junior brother?" Tao Hanhai raised his head and looked directly at Cheng Qiu. "Instead of guessing here, why don't you just call your junior brother and ask what's going on."

"Professor." Cheng Qiu was really in a hurry, "Don't be joking, many universities in China have already spread this matter."

"Oh." Tao Hanhai put down the brush in his hand, "He did make Zhou's conjecture in class, and he also solved it."

"Hiss—" The doctoral student next to him gasped, as expected of Senior Brother Zhuang, the rumored genius of Beijing University, the proud son of heaven.

On the first day they came to study with Professor Tao Hanhai, different people had already told them about their former senior brother, who is now an associate professor at Princeton University, and a visiting scholar sent by Huaguo to the Beacon Country——Zhuang Weiran things.

A genius in the junior class of the Chinese University of Science and Technology, he obtained a bachelor's degree in one year.In less than three years, he obtained his Ph.D., and went directly to Princeton University as a visiting scholar. As a result, Princeton backhandedly gave him the title of associate professor, and even became a master's supervisor.

When they were still undergraduates, they had vaguely heard that there was such a No. [-] person, but the specific situation was not clear.They themselves were not students of Peking University. After coming to Peking University, they learned about the glorious past of Senior Brother Zhuang—they could only say that although they couldn't understand it, they were greatly shocked.

Is this Senior Brother Zhuang really a human being?

I'm afraid it wasn't Riemann's assumption that he became a genius!

"As for why he didn't upload it on arxiv, I don't know. I guess he is too busy at the moment to have time. I also heard that the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton has invited him to be a senior researcher."

"..." Is it too late for them to become PhDs with other professors?The senior brother is so brilliant that it makes them ashamed to the point of embarrassment.

"Professor." Cheng Qiu said seriously, "Why don't you kick me out of the house."

"What?" Professor Tao didn't even look at Cheng Qiu, "What do you want to say?"

"The younger brother is too good. My senior brother is really shameless. It is definitely impossible for the professor to sweep the younger brother out. The professor should let me go out."

Professor Tao said with a smile, "I think, if you're fine, go out."

"I'd better go first." Cheng Qiu understood that it was a false alarm, and while he was relieved, he still envied his junior brother for making another mathematical conjecture in just a few days.

I don't know if he can solve a mathematical conjecture in his life.

Why does the younger brother's brain seem to be on the hook, if he wants to solve the mathematical conjecture, he can solve it!
