Chapter 147: Big bosses gather together, a stage that attracts the attention of the world
Academic Lecture Hall.
The super hall, which can accommodate four thousand people, is already full.
Last time, Tangdu Jiaotong University was able to arrange for some students from the school to sit here and listen to Wang Donglai's academic report.
But that didn’t work this time. Scholars and experts from all over the world and all over the country filled the seats.
With such a lineup, if you don’t know, you might think that Tangdu Jiaotong University is hosting a global conference of mathematicians.
Starting from the first row, there are Fields Medal winners such as Shing-tung Yau, followed by the academic directors of major mathematical institutes and the deans of mathematics departments of major top universities.
Sometimes, these identities actually overlap.
As long as you enter the hall and see so many scholars and professors, anyone will feel a sense of oppression.
A thesis defense actually attracted the attention of mathematicians and scholars around the world.
If it weren't for Wang Donglai's proven ability last year, I'm afraid more people would have laughed it off and wouldn't have paid any attention to it as soon as they heard about solving Hodge's guess.
Even now, many people feel in their hearts that Wang Donglai and Tangdu Jiaotong University are trying to please others.
Of course, with a brand as big as Tangdu Jiaotong University, it is naturally impossible for it to be blatantly fraudulent.
After all, if we really do this, it will destroy the Great Wall for Tangdu Jiaotong University and embarrass itself in front of scholars all over the world. The ripples caused will be enough to send Tangdu Jiaotong University into the abyss of the earth.
So in the minds of these people, the most likely thing is that Wang Donglai just made some breakthroughs and achievements in cracking and proving Hodge's conjecture.
The difficulty of Hodge's guess is well known to the world.
Wang Donglai can prove ABC’s guess and everyone can understand that he is a genius.
Sakura Mochizuki also proved it earlier. Although it was finally falsified by Wang Donglai, it was still a clue.
Hodge guessed that there was no such person, which meant that Wang Donglai had accomplished something that no mathematician around the world had accomplished.
And it’s not just contemporary mathematicians. He has accomplished something that no mathematician has done since the emergence of Hodge’s conjecture until now.
How can such a thing not make people feel dreamy and unbelievable.
There are not a few people who have such thoughts.
Originally, they thought about standing up and questioning it themselves, but when they saw so many big figures in the mathematics community there, they had the idea of just watching the fun.
Some people want to watch the excitement, and naturally some people want to witness the miracle.
There is no doubt that the management of Tangdu Jiaotong University is like this.
From the two academicians and principals to ordinary students, everyone is looking forward to Wang Donglai's arrival on the altar of mathematics.
As long as it is confirmed this time that Wang Donglai cracked Hodge's conjecture, then we can confidently say that Wang Donglai has ascended to the altar of contemporary mathematics.
Even if he is only nineteen years old!
Even if he is a pure Chinese!
Even if he has never been abroad, he has studied abroad!
These seemingly disadvantages will actually highlight his powerful talents.
……
Backstage of the lecture hall.
At this time, there were not many people staying here, only Wang Donglai and some close people.
Among them are Wang Yanxing and other family members.
Seeing Wang Donglai's family, Chen Mengni, Guo Xing and others gathered around Cao Shuxian and Wang Yanxing.
As for Wang Chenyue, her eyes moved back and forth between Chen Mengni and Guo Xing, trying to analyze which of the two women was her sister-in-law.
On such an important occasion, Wang Donglai brought his family to the school, wanting to enjoy this glorious moment together.
Last time, he didn’t do this because he hadn’t completed the accumulation yet.
Now, he knows that after his thesis defense is over, his identity as the boss of Galaxy Technology cannot be hidden, and even the sale of the mobile phone fast charging patent will be exposed.
Therefore, under such circumstances, he naturally chose to take his family over.
Don’t wait until you are completely famous before someone tries to take advantage of your family.
"Brother Yanxing, sister Shuxian, you have raised a good son!"
At this moment, Xu Songyao walked in. As the vice president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, he As an academician, he has been very busy during this time.
Relationships in all aspects must be coordinated, and we must also do a good job of receiving scholars from all over the world.
After all, although some scholars do not hold official positions, their academic status alone is enough for Xu Songyao to take them seriously.
At this moment, Xu Songyao’s appearance here is also unexpected.
After all, scholars from all walks of life have arrived. As a landlord, Xu Songyao should accompany these scholars instead of coming here.
"Brother Xu, you're too polite. Donglai still has to learn from you, and I might cause you trouble in the future."
Although Wang Yanxing has never been in contact with people in Xu Songyao's position, But based on my experience as a middle-aged man, I still responded appropriately.
"If I can have such trouble, then I can't ask for it. In the future, Donglai's achievements may be even higher."
Xu Songyao also looked approachable and said to Wang Yanxing with a smile.
After a brief chat, Xu Songyao changed the topic to Wang Donglai.
"How do you feel? Do you feel nervous?"
Wang Donglai raised his head with a calm face, put down the "Engineering Cybernetics" in his hand, and said with a smile: "I feel okay, no. Nothing to be nervous about.”
The words were calm, but a strong sense of confidence was evident.
"Okay, you should have such confidence. The stage has been set for you, and then it depends on your performance."
"When your thesis defense is over, the school will also I’ve prepared a big gift for you!”
Xu Songyao showed a hint of high spirits and patted Wang Donglai on the shoulder to encourage him.
“Hmm!”
Wang Donglai nodded.
"Okay, the time is about the same. You can go on stage as soon as you are ready. I will go outside to entertain you first."
With a reminder, Xu Songyao walked out.
When Xu Songyao left, Wang Donglai walked to Wang Yanxing and Cao Shuxian, smiled and said to them: "Mom and Dad, you will sit with the second sister and the others later. When my thesis defense is over, you Just go out first, don't wait for me to see you , I guess there will be some things to do by then."
"Second sister, you will work harder later and take my parents to the hotel for a meal and get settled." "Wait for me here. When I’m done, I’ll meet you at the hotel.”
Hearing Wang Donglai’s instructions, Wang Yanxing, Cao Shuxian and Wang Qingchen all nodded.
Now no one regards Wang Donglai as a child who still needs their care, but subconsciously obeys Wang Donglai's arrangements.
After arranging everyone, Wang Donglai walked out of the lounge and walked onto the podium calmly.
And below, sitting in the first row were the defense teachers.
Among them are the two academicians and presidents of Tangdu Jiaotong University, Zheng Hua and Xu Songyao, Qiu Chengtong, the first Chinese winner of the Fields Medal, Professor Deligne, who is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a professor at the Clay Institute, and Andrew, who proved 'Fermat's Last Theorem' at Oxford University...
The defense team of ten people is probably the best in the world.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Donglai was a student at Tangdu Jiaotong University and he was the principal, Zheng Hua and Xu Songyao would never be able to take the position of defense teacher.
After all, when it comes to their attainments in the field of mathematics alone, the two of them are not ranked among the best.
Wang Donglai looked confident as he walked up to the podium, and looked particularly high-spirited under the light.
"Everyone is very welcome to come today to participate in my thesis defense and academic report."
Wang Donglai, who was standing on the podium, did not feel nervous at all, and greeted everyone below with a calm expression.
I am afraid that no scene like Wang Donglai has appeared in any undergraduate thesis defense in the world.
After a brief hello, Wang Donglai got straight to the point.
"Dear teachers, the title of my essay today is "About the formula and proof process of Hodge's conjecture"."
As Wang Donglai said these words, the specific content was also displayed on the big screen behind him.
At the same time, a huge blackboard was placed under the big screen.
“This paper of mine was completed independently. Its content is my thoughts and detailed proof process when I was trying to crack and prove Hodge’s conjecture.”
When listening to When Wang Donglai actually told Huo Qi's guess, many people still took a breath of air. Without any luck, they cheered up and paid attention to Wang Donglai's explanation on the stage.
No one in the audience spoke. They were all quietly watching Wang Donglai perform and describe his proof process.
The only ones who seemed more relaxed were Zheng Hua and Xu Songyao.
Although the two of them could not fully understand the content of Wang Donglai's paper, after reading it, they dared to be very sure that there was nothing wrong with the content of Wang Donglai's paper. Even if it did not really prove Hodge's guess, It definitely proved more than half of it.
The reason why the two of them are not completely sure is simply because they are not proficient in this area.
In the field of mathematics, there is almost a world of difference.
So, after reading Wang Donglai’s thesis, Tangdu Jiaotong University sat firmly on Diaoyutai, and naturally would not worry about any mistakes, so it promoted the matter with such great fanfare and invited scholars and professors from all over the world. Come.
While everyone in the audience was thinking differently, Wang Donglai silently activated the skill [Preaching and Teaching] on the stage.
Yes.
In order to successfully allow scholars and professors around the world to quickly recognize their proof results, avoid delaying time and causing some non-academic problems.
Wang Donglai directly activated [Preaching and Instructing], since Wang Qingchen and the other three people can greatly improve their learning ability with this skill.
The current gathering of scholars and professors from all over the world is even more important.
As for whether this skill can cover so many people, Wang Donglai has not done any experiments.
But he has confidence in the skills produced by the system.
Sure enough, after activating this skill, as Wang Donglai explained, the scholar and professor sitting in front became more serious and solemn, as if he had gained something.
The further back, the weaker the effect becomes.
Wang Donglai felt completely at ease when he saw this scene.
The seats this time are almost all arranged according to the status in the academic world, and the size of the official position is not considered at all.
Even some leaders of domestic universities and education departments were invited to sit down where they should be.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that so many world-famous scholars gathered at this event, the leaders would have been angry and left here long ago.
They even want to give a leadership speech before the defense, which is even more outrageous.
Xu Songyao, who was familiar with Wang Donglai's character, frowned fiercely, discussed it seriously with Zheng Hua, and still refused to arrange the matter.
However, they still let reporters and the interview department in, allowing interviews and records to be conducted here.
Therefore, scholars and professors with real academic ability sit in the front, and the farther back they are, the less famous they are.
In the end, he was an ordinary professor in the mathematics department of a domestic school.
On stage.
After Wang Donglai activated the skill, he stopped worrying about anything else and started telling the story at his own pace.
When the critical moment came, I would write and draw on the huge blackboard and write down my thoughts and ideas at that time.
As for the audience, this is even more true.
With the pen and paper in hand, I started writing and drawing from the beginning, recording Wang Donglai’s thoughts.
Those who did not bring pen and paper took out their mobile phones and turned on the recording function to record.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Donglai used Chinese throughout this process, not English.
Therefore, those foreign scholars all prepared their own translators and copies of English versions of papers prepared by Wang Donglai in advance.
This has also been opposed by many people.
However, in the face of everyone's confusion and opposition, Wang Donglai said something and pushed back everyone's opposition.
“They came to listen to my academic report. It was the opportunity I gave them, not that I needed their approval to wrong myself.”
“Chinese is my mother tongue. In my motherland, I naturally speak Chinese. When you come to my territory, you should listen to me!”
"In terms of mathematics, now I am their senior and their leader. There is no reason for me to accommodate them. They should learn to accommodate me, and they will gradually get used to it in the future!"
Full of confidence and even arrogance, which is completely in line with Wang Donglai's consistent style.
So although most of the leaders of Tangdu Jiaotong University were not very satisfied, when Xu Songyao clearly stated his support for Wang Donglai, they could only hold their noses and agree.
Please support...
