Chapter 471 China needs a Fields Medal (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Egret International Hotel.

Although the forum was held on the 22nd, check-in has basically stopped since today, and only a small number of suites are open to the public.

From the moment they entered the hotel entrance, Professor Broad and Xia Ning were attracted by the appearance and lobby of the building built in the style of the Republic of China. There are many luxurious hotels, but this architectural style with local characteristics is quite attractive. human.

Generally, the entourage is in the same room as the invited scholars, that is, the standard room.

But Xia Ning is an associate professor and not a student after all, Chen Hao wanted to arrange two single rooms but was rejected.

"Thank you, Principal Chen, for your kindness. Just arrange a standard room, so you can take care of the teacher." Xia Ning declined Chen Hao's kindness with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Hao nodded with a smile, watching Jiang Lin help lead the two to the room.

Famous teachers produce excellent apprentices, and what kind of teacher will have what kind of students.

A teacher with good ability and moral character will bring out students who will inherit these advantages of the other party.

"Professor Xu, come, let me take you to your room."

"This is too much trouble for Principal Chen, I can do it myself."

"It's okay, I live here too, it's very convenient." Without waiting for Xu Chenyang to refuse, Chen Hao took the suitcase from the other party's hand and walked to the elevator, not caring whether Xu Chenyang followed or not.

Xu Chenyang stood there watching Chen Hao's behavior, shook his head helplessly and smiled, feeling a little warm in his heart.

He could feel Chen Hao's importance to him, and he felt a bit like Uncle Liu Huang asking Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain.

"Hey, Principal Chen, please walk slowly and wait for me!"

Seeing Chen Hao's figure getting farther and farther away, Xu Chenyang came back to his senses and quickly chased after him.

Room 1024 is in a deluxe sea view double bed room.

Chen Hao put the things in his hand on the table while muttering on the other hand.

"Professor Xu, this is the conference manual. It contains information about the schedule and content of the main venue and sub-venues of this China Forum, as well as traffic in the Ludao area..."

"And this is a free buffet coupon for the hotel restaurant. From 21st to 24th, there are 4 tickets in total for 12 days. The restaurant is on the 9th floor..."

"The last one is the identification belt of the representatives of the forum, and this is required for entering the venue from the 22nd to the 24th."

At the end of the talk, Chen Hao did not forget to remind, "Professor Xu, when you enter the venue backstage, remember to get a free gift bag at the entrance with the admission pass in the invitation letter."

Generally, large-scale academic conferences will have some free gifts, but Chen Hao specifically mentioned it, indicating that there must be something different.

Xu Chenyang asked curiously: "Principal Chen, is there anything special about the gift? Which sponsor is it?"

"Haha, I can't say that, anyway, there will be surprises at that time." Chen Hao shook his head and smiled mysteriously.

"Uh, okay." Xu Chenyang was stunned. The free gifts are not all pens, notebooks, paper bags and so on.

"Professor Xu, are you tired after flying for more than 20 hours? It's still early, and I'll treat everyone to a supper later in the evening."

After greeting Xu Chenyang, Chen Hao left the room.

As soon as Chen Hao left, the tiredness on Xu Chenyang's face was directly revealed. He took a shower in the bathroom separated from wet and dry, and then went to the dressing room to change into pajamas. He was not interested in the invincible sea view on the balcony, so he just fell asleep.

……

More than 11 o'clock in the evening.

Chen Hao, Xu Chenyang, Broad, and Xia Ning took a taxi to a seafood stall.

"This food stall is the most authentic place on Ludao, and the seafood is all caught by the fishermen that day, so it's very fresh!" Chen Hao smiled and led the three of them to sit at the open-air table.

It is easier to get closer in places like food stalls, and the open air is more sensational than the box.

The business in the store is very busy. After ordering, the little brother specially reminded that it will take about [-] minutes to be served.Chen Hao and the others didn't take it seriously, and the time of chatting will soon pass.

While chatting, Chen Hao suddenly remembered something, picked up his phone and opened WeChat, and then said to Xu Chenyang: "Professor Xu, can you add a WeChat?"

"WeChat?" Xu Chenyang froze, then said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't have WeChat."

"No WeChat???"

Chen Hao was stunned. Who doesn't have WeChat these days?

As if seeing Chen Hao's doubts, Xu Chenyang directly took out the mobile phone from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

"I can't install these software on my mobile phone." Xu Chenyang said with a wry smile.

Chen Hao looked over, isn't this the elderly machine? !
A famous mathematician is still using an old machine?
The reason is naturally impossible to be poor.

"Khan, why is Professor Xu doing this?" Chen Hao was still confused.

When I was in the beautiful country, I came into contact with many famous scholars. Among them, some gray-haired old scientists refused to use smart phones because their ideas were outdated and they resisted new things.

But Xu Chenyang was born in 81 and is only 39 years old this year. Shouldn't his thinking be so conservative?

Xu Chenyang shook his head, and explained quite seriously: "Because the current smart phone has too many functions, which will affect my efficiency, I think it's good to use this, as long as I can answer the phone, anyway, the usual academic exchanges are By email."

Professor Broad on the side agreed deeply: "I agree with Professor Xu's point of view. Now mobile application manufacturers are thinking of ways to let users spend more time using it, especially Tik Tok, which has seriously affected The physical and mental health of young people in the beautiful country, this kind of software is a cancer!" At the end of the talk, Professor Broad angrily sprayed the international version of Douyin.

On the contrary, Chen Hao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. It seems that Douyin is not only killing young people in China, but also young people in Europe and America cannot escape the clutches of Douyin.

"I think self-control is a limited resource, and everything we do and every decision we make every day consumes this limited resource."

Xu Chenyang continued, "Doing academic research is boring and tedious. There is no one who doesn't like easy and simple things, but such things will consume self-control ability. Over time, it will make it difficult for you to concentrate and your concentration will decline. , and even fell into an anxious and decadent mood for a long time.”

"Professor Xu is very reasonable." Chen Hao nodded in agreement.

Old people always say that you have to be self-disciplined and diligent, but in fact self-discipline is not an easy task, especially now that mobile phones are fully functional, you are faced with more temptations.

[Swiping Douyin, playing games, watching dramas] and [Swiping questions, reading literature, writing papers], one is a relaxed way of leisure, and the other is a boring way of learning.

These two categories allow people to choose, and there is no doubt that most people choose the former.

People will choose easy and easy things.

Many people think that successful people are very self-disciplined, but in fact, as long as they are people, they will face all kinds of temptations. Even a famous mathematician like Xu Chenyang cannot avoid it, so the other party directly blocked it from the source.

"Principal Chen, I'll add you." In the end, Xia Ning smiled and opened the phone's WeChat, and scanned Chen Hao's WeChat.

After this discussion, after a while, the barbecue and beer came up.

While eating, Hu Tianhai chatted freely.

Some girls who were also eating at food stalls were attracted by Chen Hao's appearance, and were about to go up to ask for WeChat, but when they approached, they heard four people happily discussing "K-Stable Fano Modular Space Algebra" Theory", "Application of the Minimal Model Program in High Dimensions" ...

His footsteps stopped suddenly, his face turned from sunny to cloudy in an instant, he turned around and muttered "a group of psychopaths" in a low voice, then turned and left.

The four of them had a great time eating this meal, and Chen Hao was also very satisfied.

Adhering to the principle of drinking and not driving, and driving without drinking, I didn't drive my own car when I went out this time, and asked the hotel to send a special car to pick me up.

By the time the four returned to the Bailu Hotel, it was already past 1 am.

While in the elevator, Chen Hao's voice suddenly sounded.

"Professor Xu, are you willing to miss the Philippine Award?"

"Principal Chen, I don't understand what you mean..."

"No, Professor Xu, you understand." Chen Hao glanced at Xu Chenyang and said softly.

The Philippine Award is the Fields Medal, which is selected every four years, and the winner must be under the age of 40 before New Year's Day of that year.

The last session was in 2018, which means the next session will be in 2022.

Xu Chenyang has turned 39 this year.

Even though he won the "Cole Prize in Algebra", which is known as the Fields Medal, Xu Chenyang missed the Nobel Prize in mathematics even if he made a major breakthrough due to his age.

Xu Chenyang's face remained unchanged, but fell into silence.

He was upset.

Although academic research should be pure, it is difficult for any scientist to refuse such honors as Nobel Prize and Fields Medal.

Just give him another 5 years...no, just 3 years and he'll be able to solve the "finite generative and abundance conjecture" problem.

But three years later, he also turned 42 years old and could no longer participate in the selection of the Fields Medal.

Chen Hao's voice was still ringing.

"There is no shortage of Chinese in the Fields Medal, but we need a Fields Medal in China."

"It's too late, it's already too late." Xu Chenyang sighed softly, with indescribable regret in his voice.

For a mathematician, if he cannot win the Fields Medal, he will be a missing symbol in the world of mathematics.

"No, it's too late." Chen Hao narrowed his eyes.

"Is it in time?"

Xu Chenyang shrank his pupils, turned around suddenly, and stared at Chen Hao.

"Professor Xu, you are over the age, but there are people who are not over the age." The corner of Chen Hao's mouth curled up, and the person he valued would definitely not be able to leave.
"Who?" Xu Chenyang asked anxiously.

"Lu Zhou."

……

In the dormitory building of Guanghua University, more than ten kilometers away from Bailu Hotel.

Lu Zhou, who was arguing passionately with Euclid, Pythagoras, Archimedes and Gauss in his sleep, suddenly had an itchy nose, and a sneeze woke him up.

"Who is this thinking of me or scolding me?"

After grumbling in dissatisfaction, Lu Zhou pulled the quilt up, closed his eyelids, and continued to fall asleep.

Outside the window, the bright moon is in the sky, and the silver light is pouring down on the earth.

The evening wind shuttled unscrupulously through the streets and alleys of the city, taking away dreams without names.
