The truth behind Chapter 236, anger rising
The 2014 Global Mathematicians Conference was held on the peninsula next to China.
As July approaches, mathematicians from all over the world begin to gather here.
Scholars around the world are paying close attention to this global conference of mathematicians.
After all, this conference is held only once every four years and announces Fields Medal winners.
Since the first one was held in Zurich in 1897, it has been held for 26 times in 2010. It has never been interrupted except during the two world wars. It has become a high-level global academic conference on mathematical sciences.
Originally, this global conference of mathematicians was supposed to be held in August, but because of the appearance of Wang Donglai, he successively proved several mathematical problems, which by the way led to breakthroughs by mathematicians around the world. The discipline of mathematics was fiercely A big step forward.
It is for this reason that the International Mathematical Union made a decision to convene a conference of mathematicians one month in advance. The conference will be held for nine days from July 3rd to July 12th.
This is the news released by the official website, and people all over the world can know it.
The winners of the Fields Medal, Chern Medal, Nevin Linner Medal, and Gauss Medal that everyone is curious about will only be known on the opening day.
Just when Wang Donglai was about to leave for the next peninsula, he received a call from Deligne.
"Wang Donglai, I have good news and bad news here. I don't know which one you want to hear first?"
If it weren't for Deligne's name on the phone, Coupled with his pure and familiar French, Wang Donglai would probably think that someone was joking with him.
"Professor Deligne, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of our country's culture. It really surprises me!"
Wang Donglai did not rush to answer, but expressed Expressing his own surprise.
"King, I recently learned about your country. I found that your country is really amazing and has a profound historical and cultural heritage. No wonder this land can cultivate a genius like you."
Delinee said. When he said this sentence, he was extremely serious, and he obviously really meant it.
"Professor Deligne, thank you for your compliment. If you are willing, you can try to conduct academic research on this land. If you change the place, you may have new ideas."
Wang Donglai's heart moved and he immediately sent out an invitation.
“If one day I get tired of staying at Princeton, I will give it a try.”
"Okay, the topic has gone a bit far. Wang, you haven't said yet whether you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
After chatting for a while, Deligne remembered the purpose of his call, and Asked again.
"If Professor Deligne knows enough about us Chinese, he should know that we will choose to hear bad news first and then good news."
In fact, Wang Donglai is also a little curious. , I don’t know what the good news and bad news from Professor Deligne’s mouth will be.
"King, I may not guarantee that the bad news is true, but the good news must be true."
"The good news is that this time the Global Congress of Mathematicians will invite you to give a one-hour report, and it is estimated that the International Mathematical Union will officially invite you soon."
"As for the bad news, I only heard that, It’s not necessarily true. I heard that the four winners of the Fields Medal this time do not seem to have Chinese names. Of course, I have only vaguely heard of this situation. If it is true, I can only wait until the conference is held. Only then did I know.”
“Originally I wasn’t going to tell you this news because I was afraid it would affect your mentality, but I also saw some news on the Internet. Many professors and scholars from the Island Mathematical Alliance seemed to be criticizing and questioning you. I think they It is very likely that I did this because I learned the news. Therefore, I think it is very necessary for you to know this news."
Professor Deligne told the good news and the bad news in one breath. out.
However, Wang Donglai was not obviously angry when he heard Professor Deligne's words.
His tone was still calm, and he said to Professor Deligne on the other end of the phone: "Thank you very much for the news, Professor Deligne."
"Wang, you are still young. As you know, the world is not what it seems. Guangming, you have already won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize this year. If you win the Fields Medal again, you will take away the top prizes in the field of mathematics, which is not in the interests of many people.”
"In a few more years at most, the Fields Medal will definitely be awarded to you. Wang, I am telling you this not to make you angry, but to make you understand this matter. You are my current The most talented scholar I have ever seen, I don’t want to see you lose your confidence in mathematics because of an unfair treatment.”
What Deligne said was extremely sincere, and Wang Donglai could listen to it. Gotta come out.
Indeed, if Deligne hadn't thought highly of him, he wouldn't have had to say this to himself.
Feeling the sincerity in Deligne's words, Wang Donglai was more or less moved in his heart, and said aloud: "Professor Deligne, don't worry, I don't take this matter to heart yet."
“That’s good!”
Deligne slowly felt relieved when he heard Wang Donglai’s calm answer.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Donglai had a sneer on his lips.
Sure enough, I am still too optimistic.
Moreover, through the news from Deligne and Phoenix's reminder, the two things were immediately connected together.
No matter how stupid the scholars of the island country are, it is difficult to offend themselves for someone who has been identified as academic fraud.
Not only did he offend himself, but he also offended the official organizations of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Clay Institute and the officials of the Abel Prize.
After all, they all recognized their achievements.
If scholars from island countries question and criticize, it is undoubtedly a slap in their face.
But if you think about it from another angle, this may not be impossible.
Science has no borders, but scientists do.
I won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize, which seems to be a great success.
In fact, I have offended Israel, and with the connections I have built over the years through the Wolf Prize, it is not impossible to delete myself from the selection of Fields Medal winners. .
Western scholars and professors will definitely be happy to see this scene. They will follow the trend and do such a thing without any problem.
Scholars and professors from the island country knew the news, so they began to criticize and question themselves and divert attention.
You only need to sacrifice your Fields Medal winning quota, and you can reap the benefits to many parties. It is simply killing multiple birds with one stone.
After thinking about it, Wang Donglai did not feel angry because of it.
If he were an ordinary person, he might feel angry.
But, he is not!
He is the only Earth OL player in the world.
After knowing this, he only felt ridiculous.
At this moment, Wang Donglai’s phone rang again.
It’s a strange phone call.
"Is this Professor Wang Donglai? I am Professor Martin Grtschel, Secretary General of the International Mathematical Union. I sincerely invite you to give a one-hour report at this global conference of mathematicians. Do you accept the invitation?"
As soon as the call was connected, a condescending voice came.
There was no small talk at all, and he went straight to the point and invited Wang Dong to give a one-hour report, which was exactly the same good news as Deligne said. Hearing the hint of superiority hidden in this voice, Wang Donglai's expression became more and more serious.
"If my one-hour report can be placed before the opening of this mathematician conference, I can agree!"
"Professor Martin Grtschel, are you Promise? ”
Wang Donglai did not agree directly, but made a request.
This request is very important to him.
The usual practice in the past was that after the opening, after the winners of the five major awards were announced, a one-hour report would be given.
However, Wang Donglai wanted to change the order.
Professor Martin Grtschel on the other end of the phone heard Wang Donglai's request and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Because as the Secretary-General of the National Union of Mathematicians, he is very aware of the arrangements for this conference.
Although Wang Donglai’s results were very good, he offended too many people and was boycotted, so he missed out on winning the award this time.
Although there are a lot of rumors outside, many people believe that Wang Donglai will become the winner of this year’s Fields Medal, and judging from actual results, Wang Donglai also has this qualification.
But this time the International Mathematical Union did not do this.
They also thought that if Wang Donglai, who had proved several mathematical problems in succession, could not win the Fields Medal, it would cause doubts about their award selection, so they chose to let Wang Donglai give a one-hour report as compensation.
In this way, even if the outside world has doubts, they will have an excuse.
Thinking of this situation, Professor Martin Grtschel suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said: "In view of your contribution to the field of mathematics, I agree to your unreasonable request. That's all. Once!”
After that, he hung up the phone.
Putting away the phone, Wang Donglai felt a spark of fire in his heart.
On this world stage, the Chinese have lagged behind for too many years, and their voices have disappeared in the middle of the stage for many years, making many people forget the past glory of the Chinese.
Being looked down upon or even ignored by others, looking at Chinese people through colored glasses.
In this land, no Chinese has reached the top for many years, proving to the world the excellence of the Chinese.
Wang Donglai’s series of encounters further prove this point.
……
On the plane flying to the peninsula.
Yang Wanpeng and Hanhua were extremely confident, because in their opinion, Wang Donglai must be the winner of the Fields Medal this time.
This confidence comes not only from Wang Donglai’s achievements, but also from Wang Donglai’s consecutive winning of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize.
As one of the two top international mathematics awards, Wang Donglai has been chosen. No matter how strict the Fields Medal is, it cannot ignore Wang Donglai’s achievements.
So, it’s not just Yang Wanpeng and Hanwha who think so, many people in the country think so.
"Dong Lai, this should be your first time to participate in the Global Mathematicians Conference. Your first time participating has already achieved results that many people would never dare to dream of after a lifetime of hard work. It is really surprising to think about it. Envy and jealousy.”
"Looking back now, I still remember that you came to my office with your paper and told me to write a paper for me to read. I thought you were too ambitious and wanted to suppress your Arrogance, then I saw the paper you wrote. My first reaction at that time was that it was not written by you, because I It’s hard to believe that a student who has only been in school for a few days can write such a paper, especially in computer science.”
“It’s embarrassing to think about it. Two years have passed. It’s not fast, but you’re growing too fast.”
Hanhua’s tone was full of emotion.
There is both admiration and admiration for Wang Donglai’s achievements, and also surprise and envy for Wang Donglai’s growth rate.
"Not only that, you are only twenty years old this year. In addition to your academic achievements, your business achievements are even more amazing. I am also paying attention to the development of your Galaxy Technology. It has now become our Tangdu Internet The first company, even the leader in the entire Qin Province and even the five northwest provinces.”
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to believe that these results were achieved by a freshman who was just eighteen years old and spent two years achieving them.”
“It’s precisely because I know this. One thing, I dare say that your future achievements in Donglai will be far more than this."
< br>"Come on, Donglai, I'm looking forward to seeing you achieve more and greater achievements. What a great achievement for our country, starting from this global conference of mathematicians!"
Yang Wanpeng on the side also said: With a sigh on his face, bright eyes, and a proud look, he said this to Wang Donglai.
Seeing the two people's confidence in him, Wang Donglai nodded and was not prepared to tell them the true situation of this conference.
"Professor Han, Professor Yang, I will do it!"
Wang Donglai said with a firm expression and a serious and calm tone.
“The youngest Fields Medal winner, winner of the three top awards, all won within one year. If this news comes back to China, you will probably stay on the hot search for a few days. By then, I don’t know how many girls will be crying and wanting to marry you.”
“ I have heard that the quality of enrollment in our school has been steadily improving in the past two years, and many of them chose our school because of you."
"Imagine, after the school starts, junior high school students. How happy it would be to have the school girls all be your fans!”
On the plane, unable to do anything else, Hanhua started chatting with Wang Donglai, and suddenly this matter came up.
“Don’t say it, it’s really true. Our school’s admissions office doesn’t know what it thinks. In the admissions brochure and admissions video, things should be drawn together. You need to have good grades and good appearance. It has everything you need in terms of appearance. It’s really suitable for admissions work.”
“How about it?” You probably won’t mind this matter when you come here. After returning to China, I will suggest that you bring your photos and videos with you when enrolling students in the future. The old admissions brochures and videos are too boring and make people click on them. No desire at all."
Yang Wanpeng also became interested and started talking immediately.
The more they talked, the more serious they became.
Finally, he really came up with this idea and looked at Wang Donglai seriously.
"Professor Han, Professor Yang, we'll talk about this later, we'll talk about it later. I suddenly had an inspiration. I'll think about something first."
Wang Donglai listened to the two people, My heart tightened, and I quickly started arguing. I secretly decided that before going back, no matter what, I would give up the idea of the two of them.
Seeing Wang Donglai busy, Hanhua and Yang Wanpeng naturally did not disturb him and took a rest.
Soon, the plane arrived at the south of the peninsula.
The three of them came out together and naturally stayed in the same hotel.
However, after landing, something happened that shocked Yang Wanpeng and Hanhua.
Because Deligne was personally waiting for Wang Donglai at the airport.
This scene really shocked Hanhua and Yang Wanpeng.
