Chapter 243 Desperate Taro Watanabe
“Okay, can you all tell us what to do next?”
Ingrid Dobe looked at the people sitting together calmly The eyes of several other executive committee members were filled with displeasure.
At this point, Ingrid Dobe's heart is full of regrets, and she keeps feeling annoyed that she did not stick to her principles.
If she could insist on fairness in the selection of the Fields Medal, the current situation would not have happened at all.
Even if she didn't block it and still secretly disqualified Wang Donglai from winning the award, she wouldn't worry.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Originally, it was hoped that Wang Donglai would be able to resolve the matter privately because of the International Mathematical Union's brand name and their reputation.
Unexpectedly, Wang Donglai refused directly. Thinking of the performance of Wang Donglai and Long Zhonghui at the venue, they no longer took any chances.
So there was the current meeting.
"Professor Martin Grtschel, you have just contacted Wang Donglai. Please tell me your opinion first."
No one spoke for a long time, and Ingrid Dobe looked at Martin Grudd and asked him to speak first. Tell me what you think about Wang Donglai.
Martin Grudd's face darkened. After he came back, he told several people everything.
Including Wang Donglai’s firm refusal to answer and the attitude he showed.
It all means one thing, that is, their little moves have been known to Wang Donglai.
This is the most difficult part.
If Wang Donglai didn't know about it, they could have added Wang Donglai's name again before the list of winners was announced.
It’s just a simple thing and doesn’t take much effort.
However.
Wang Donglai knew about this, and at this moment he was carrying huge traffic that proved Goldbach's conjecture.
The eyes of mathematicians around the world will focus on Wang Donglai.
They don’t dare to expose their little moves at all.
Because that would completely ruin their academic reputation.
The more Martin Groud thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked at several people with an annoyed look and said, "I have nothing to say. I have already told you everything I know about the situation."< br>
“As for what to do now, it’s the same as before. You are members of the executive committee, and I am just the secretary-general.”
Hearing Martin Grodd's voice, several people's faces turned ugly.
Although this was the truth, they felt offended when they heard it from Martin Grudd.
"In my opinion, the Chinese people are timid and love the overall situation. They will not do such a thing. We can completely pretend that nothing has happened. Anyway, we members of the executive committee His status is about to expire.”
“Professor Martin Grtschel, you should tell him directly if he doesn’t want to offend the academic circle behind us. If we say that, he should come here instead of rejecting us. He is just a twenty-year-old genius. Together, we can control the media and make him worthless, even if he proves a few mathematical problems. How. "
"We unite and represent most of the world's powerful countries. As long as we have a unified voice, we can completely make him stink! "
"This kind of thing has happened before. I think it can be done!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one by one.
The words are fierce and domineering, but if you look carefully, you can notice that the eyes of several people are a little erratic.
Ingrid Dobe is no fool.
They say they are members of the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union. They seem to have a good status, but in fact they are not.
At most, the International Mathematical Union has some status in the field of mathematics, but if it wants to control the media, it is overthinking.
Not to mention a few of them.
So, what sounds nice and domineering is actually impossible to achieve.
“There are no outsiders here, so don’t say these empty words. I am the president of the International Mathematical Union, and you are also members of the executive committee. Once the incident breaks out, I will certainly bear the greatest doubts and infamy, but you It won't be easy for us either."
"I called you here not to shirk blame, but to seriously discuss a solution to the matter with you."
"If you continue to say these useless lies and empty words, then there is no need to talk anymore. Just wait for the criticism and doubts from scholars around the world!"
Ingrid Dobe's eyes turned cold, and then Unable to sit still any longer, he directly gave everyone an ultimatum.
When Ingrid Dobe said this, the expressions of several people changed, but they were speechless.
Silence.
Ingrid Dobe was not surprised by this situation. Instead, she thought it was normal.
Because she knows these people too well.
To borrow an old saying from China to describe it, it is to forget one's duty when seeing small gains, and to cherish one's life when doing big things.
“Restore the previous list of Fields Medal and award the award to Wang Donglai!”
“In addition, criticize the Island Mathematical Society and ask the Island Mathematical Society to give due consideration to this matter. Explain!”
“Do you have any opinions on this arrangement?”
Ingrid Dobe looked at everyone with a stern face and a stern look.
"Isn't this too cheap? Wang Dong is here, we..."
Before one of them finished speaking, Ingrid Dobe slapped the table hard and turned the table The documents placed on the table shook.
“Bang!”
“If you feel dissatisfied, then I will immediately announce that there is no Wang Donglai as the winner of this year’s Fields Medal!”
With that said, Ingrid Dobe prepared to get up and leave.
Martin Grudd and several others quickly stood up and stopped Ingrid Dobe, and spoke out to dissuade her.
They didn’t dare let Ingrid Dobe tell the news.
Ingrid Dobe had actually anticipated everyone's performance and took advantage of the situation and sat down.
After this incident, everyone quickly reached a unified opinion.
Change the Fields award list and add Wang Donglai's name!
In the official capacity of the International Mathematical Union, we have inquired and strongly condemned the Japanese scholar Taro Watanabe and others for questioning and criticizing Wang Donglai. We are also paying attention to the academic fraud incident of Obokata Haruko, an Japanese scholar.
……
The other side.
At this time, Taro Watanabe's mood had already hit rock bottom.
He never dreamed that such a thing would happen.
Wang Donglai actually proved Goldbach’s conjecture in a one-hour academic report at the Global Mathematics Conference.
If it fails, that's okay.
But Wang Donglai succeeded.
All of a sudden, Taro Watanabe was given the opportunity to sit on the wax.
"Goldbach's conjecture...topological group theory..."
"Why?!"
"Why can he prove this mathematical problem? Why can such a figure appear among the Chinese? "
"Damn it! "
In Taro Watanabe's hotel room, he was spinning in circles with a ferocious look on his face.
It can be said that Taro Watanabe is one of the people who is most concerned about Wang Donglai's academic proof process.
So, after returning to the hotel, he tried his best to prove it.
However, he failed.
Immediately afterwards, I heard from various channels that other mathematics scholars recognized Wang Donglai’s proof of Goldbach’s conjecture.
He suddenly felt anxious.
He will not forget what he did and the attitude Wang Donglai showed.
In front of scholars from all over the world, I am like a clown, jumping up and down and making people laugh. He doesn't even want to open his phone and check the messages now.
Because he knows that there will definitely be many people scolding and attacking him now.
Even the TV station director with whom I had a good chat with before would no longer talk to me.
In an instant, his reputation reversed.
He was not surprised by this situation.
If he hadn't offended Wang Donglai to death, why would he be so worried.
Although Wang Donglai is from China, he himself is an island scholar.
But in the field of mathematics, with the talent and ability that Wang Donglai has shown, he is completely capable of crushing himself into scum.
Whether it's academic sniping or other means.
I don't know how to do it, and I can't be his opponent.
At this moment, Taro Watanabe's emotions were extremely complicated, including anger, fear, and a trace of deeply hidden regret.
"Baga! Baga! Baga!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Taro Watanabe yelled hatefully.
"No, I can't just sit back and wait for death!"
"Strike first to gain advantage, and strike later to suffer disaster. Since you don't give me a way to survive, don't blame me."
Watanabe Taro's His eyes became extremely fierce, and there was a sinister look on his face.
Thinking about it, Taro Watanabe immediately took action, turned on the computer, quickly edited the information, and then clicked to publish.
After posting, I did not read the abuse under my account.
Because the abuses made by these netizens are both useful and useless.
After Taro Watanabe sent out the news, he was not idle. After thinking about it, he contacted other island scholars.
......
This night passed extremely long.
For many scholars, it was extremely exciting and they stayed up all night.
Although Goldbach's guess was not included in the seven major mathematical problems of the millennium, it did not affect his fame at all.
Not to mention it is a household name, everyone knows it, but most people have heard of this problem.
1+1 still needs proof?
This is how many people understand and understand this difficult problem.
So, when the news about the peninsula came out, the media in various countries did not spread it widely.
After all, in the past, there were many people who claimed to have proved Goldbach's conjecture, but were slapped in the face.
The night passed.
The incident finally began to ferment.
Qiu Chengtong, a tenured professor in the Department of Physics at Harvard University, winner of the Fields Medal, Wolf Prize in Mathematics, and Crawford Medal, was the first to announce to the outside world that Wang Donglai had proved Goldbach's conjecture.
Following this, Viscount Deligne, who had won all three major prizes in mathematics, also admitted on his social account that Wang Donglai had proved Goldbach’s conjecture.
One after another, big figures in the mathematics community came forward to prove that Wang Donglai's academic report was correct.
As a result, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Not only that, there is also a news coming out.
That’s why this year’s Fields Medal was an upset. Wang Donglai did not win the Fields Medal.
Putting these two pieces of news together, there was a huge contrast.
What kind of news the media likes the most is not the smooth events.
It is an event that is full of twists and turns, fascinating and highly topical.
The two current news meet this condition.
Wang Donglai, who proved Goldbach’s guess, could not win the Fields Medal.
Anyone who is in the media field can see how popular this news is.
So, when Ingrid Dobe and others were preparing for a regular meeting, they heard such news.
"Who is it? Who leaked this news?"
Ingrid Dobe was very angry. It was because they were worried about this matter that they came to the emergency meeting yesterday. The general meeting was held and deliberations lasted for so long before a unified opinion was reached.
As a result, I found out the news had been publicized the next day.
Undoubtedly, most of their efforts were wasted.
Everyone shook their heads, but no one acknowledged it.
Although they did vaguely disclose the news, they were convinced that they did not leave any evidence such as writing or recording.
“We are the official, and the news outside is just gossip. As long as we announce the list of winners today, all false news will be forgotten, so we don’t have to worry at all!”
“That’s right. In this way, the Fields Medal was given to him, what can he say? He won three awards at the age of twenty. Such an honor created a historical record. Will he still blame us for this? "
" As long as we don’t admit it, who will believe the false news outside?”
"We should find out who told this news and must be punished."
The expressions of the few people were very relaxed, not much nervous.
Seeing this, Ingrid Dobe didn't want to say anything more, so she waved her hand casually and said: "In that case, let's announce the news at the conference later! "
While saying this, Ingrid Dobe made a decision in her heart that she would resign early!
She will collapse if she continues to work with these idiots.
At the same time, she was also worried that she would be influenced by these idiots. She should not have listened to them and done such stupid things before.
It’s just that it’s too late now!
……
July 3rd.
The second day of the Global Congress of Mathematicians.
There were twice as many reporters outside the venue than yesterday, and they were surrounding the venue with guns blazing.
As for these reporters, the International Mathematical Union is not easy to drive away. They can only watch them continue to interview the scholars and professors attending the conference.
In particular, I focused on asking questions about this Fields Medal winner, trying to verify the authenticity of the news.
The second problem is the proof of Goldbach's conjecture.
Nine o'clock.
The conference started on time.
Without any fancy moves, Martin Grudd went straight to the stage as the Secretary-General and said to the many scholars and professors attending the meeting: "Yesterday, we were fortunate to hear Professor Wang Donglai from China. wonderful academic report, very shocking and surprising, but It’s an honor. Here, I call on you to applaud Professor Wang Donglai’s wonderful academic report and applaud the content of such a high-quality academic report.”
Martin Gruder said with a smile on his face. Looking at the direction Wang Dong was coming from, he took the lead in applauding sincerely.
The next second.
The whole venue burst into thunderous applause.
The applause lasted for about three minutes before slowly quieting down.
“Let us continue with yesterday’s conference process, and now I will announce the winners of this year’s five major awards.”
As Martin Grudd’s words rang out, there was an immediate uproar. The young man looked subconsciously in the direction where Wang Dong came.
The news that the Fields Medal winner did not have Wang Donglai spread overnight, and naturally they heard about it.
Now, it is time to verify the authenticity of this news.
"First of all, the first award we announced is the Fields Medal, and the winner this time is..."
