I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 486 Another sweet fragrance of success that is likely to come
After the interview, Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun to thank Mr. Faltins.

After all, the paper on the proof of the Polignac conjecture would not have been published so quickly if the old gentleman hadn't been working hard for their paper.The early publication of the thesis undoubtedly added two points to today's award.

Faltins had just finished talking with an old white man, and his expression was a little serious, but when he talked with Qin Ke, he smiled again.

He really appreciates these two young people, it has nothing to do with nationality or age.

Faltings' eyes were full of smiles: "You don't have to thank me, on the contrary, I would like to thank you. It is you who let me see the wonderful scenery of the mathematical world. By the way, you said that you plan to try to challenge the NS equation next. This is a great subject, but I still suggest that you focus on the Riemann Hypothesis. I think that within a few decades, the two of you are the most likely to completely crack the Riemann Hypothesis. For those of us who are pure mathematicians, can completely Seeing the mystery of Riemann's conjecture clearly is the happiest thing!"

Qin Ke solemnly said: "Don't worry, we will not give up the Riemann conjecture."

Faltins once again raised the red wine in his hand: "Maybe you will receive gifts later, congratulations in advance, especially Qin Ke, come on in August."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun knew what the so-called "gift" was after ten minutes.

The American Mathematical Society AMS also had staff members attending the dinner, and they came here specially to award Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun the certificates of honorary membership.

Because the formal membership of AMS requires American citizenship, or has taught in the United States (including teaching), so for outstanding mathematicians of foreign nationality who do not teach in the United States, AMS often directly grants the status of honorary member, which is a kind of flexibility.

The rights of honorary members are better than that of full members. Not only can they participate in the selection of various awards of AMS, but they also don’t need to regularly participate in the gatherings of full members, let alone pay annual membership fees.

However, only outstanding foreign mathematicians who meet the following three conditions at the same time will be favored by AMS and awarded honorary membership.

One is that he has published more than two professional papers in top journals, the other is that he is well-known internationally, and the third is that he has been recommended by a famous local mathematician in the United States.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun can undoubtedly meet these three conditions. By the way, they are recommended by Faltins and Linden Strauss, two Philippine award bosses.

Qin Ke knew that joining AMS was a necessary condition for participating in the Cole Award, and he had nothing to lose anyway, so he signed with Ning Qingyun and accepted the status of this honorary member of AMS.

As for what Faltings said, "Come on in August", Qin Ke speculated that it should refer to the Cole Award.

The Cole Prize is different from the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. It is not selected through the performance of the academic report, but directly selected by the American Mathematical Society from members and honorary members. The selection is based on the academic achievements achieved in recent years.

Faltings is one of the judges who will participate in the selection. After all, with his status in the international mathematics community, he can speak in the IMU International Mathematical Union, let alone in the American Mathematical Society.

His words "Come on", made Qin Ke smell the sweet fragrance of another success that is likely to come.

……

Just when Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were chatting happily with a group of bigwigs in the international mathematics field at the dinner party of the awards ceremony, it was still less than nine o'clock in the morning on the other side of the ocean.

At Yuanzhou University in Yuanzhou City, Qin Ke's cousin Shen Tiantian was preparing for class.

This is an advanced mathematics course. As the best university in Huahai Province, Yuanzhou University has a lot of academic pressure. Shen Tiantian's finance major cannot escape the two basic mathematics courses of advanced mathematics and probability theory.

Shen Tiantian rubbed her temples in distress.Compared with high school mathematics, the advanced mathematics in university is several times more difficult, and the professors also give lectures very quickly. Shen Tiantian was pretty good at mathematics in high school, but now she feels powerless to learn advanced mathematics.

She couldn't help thinking of her cousin Qin Ke, and a sense of frustration welled up in her heart.

In junior high school and high school, the gap between her and Qin Ke in mathematics was not so big. Who would have thought that after the second year of high school, this cousin's mathematics level would skyrocket like a rocket. He soared into the sky and went straight to the sky, solved world-class math problems one after another, and won the Chern Mathematics Award...

Alas, they also have the blood of the Shen family, why is there such an obvious gap in IQ?

No, I and Qin Ke seem to be cousins ​​in name only, and have no blood relationship in fact.Oh, then it's okay, it's normal to have a gap in IQ.

Suddenly, I heard a girl talking in the front row, with a delicate voice, asking a boy for advice.

Shen Tiantian glanced over subconsciously, and recognized that boy as He Gongwei, the top student in the class.

He Gongwei is tall, thin, fair, clean, gentle, and handsome, but he doesn't like to talk and is aloof, but his math grades are super good, even comparable to the top students in the math department. Several girls in the class are I secretly like him, but I have heard that He Gongwei only likes top female academics with excellent grades, and has always looked down on girls at work.

Shen Tiantian doesn't like this kind of arrogance, because it always makes her think of her cousin unconsciously.

When will Qin Ke come up with an easy-to-learn advanced mathematics textbook...

Shen Tiantian was thinking wildly, when suddenly he heard his best friend screaming excitedly.

"Yeah, Tiantian, my male god has won another grand prize, this time it is an international prize! What is it called the Mathematical Breakthrough Prize, and there is also a prize of 300 million US dollars!"

There was immediate commotion in the surrounding area, and several students asked, "Really? God Qin won another prize? Where did you get the news?"

"Look at the hot search, the first one is! Bibo also said that he bravely stood up at the academic report meeting and exposed a vile academic plagiarism incident! Ahhh, my male god is so handsome and has a sense of justice!"

Shen Tiantian looked at her girlfriend's nympho, stroked her forehead and said, "Is that kid Qin Ke on the trending list again?"

"Tian Tian, ​​don't call my male god 'that kid', that's too disrespectful to him!" My girlfriend immediately put her hands on her hips and said aggressively.

When she first went to college, Shen Tiantian didn't want to be favored by her cousin, so she didn't tell her classmates that Qin Ke was her cousin, but there was a best friend in the same dormitory who was also Qin Ke's brainless fan, who was always "my male god" Yes, Shen Tiantian is even more embarrassed to say that your male god is my cousin.But every time she saw her best friend fan Qin Ke like this, she couldn't laugh or cry.

"I said, Sisi, your male god has already had a goddess, and he is very beautiful and temperamental. You have no chance at all." Shen Tiantian thought of the messyly beautiful girl he had seen during the Chinese New Year. Sour road.

"Ning Qingyun, I know, she also won the Mathematical Breakthrough Award this time, it's awesome, I like their CP the most, it's so sweet! And my male god, whether he has a girlfriend or not, is in my heart." It's perfect!"

Shen Tiantian: "..."

Help, how to break the generation gap with brain-dead fans.

There were footsteps approaching again, and someone called out, "Shen Tiantian."

Seeing that it was the counselor coming over, Shen Tiantian quickly got up and said, "Teacher Guo, what do you need from me?"

The counselor coughed softly, and said with some embarrassment: "Shen Tiantian, can you ask Qin Ke for an autograph? My children like him very much, and they have been clamoring for his autograph recently... If you can write The last sentence, "To little friend Zou Zhuoer, I wish her academic progress" couldn't be better. Hey, I also know that Qin Kegang will be very busy after winning the award, and he is abroad again. Let him take a photo of his autograph and send it over... ..."

The corner of Shen Tiantian's mouth twitched, but she couldn't refuse the counselor's opening.

"I see. I will contact him at night and try to get him to write that sentence."

"Then I'll thank you and Qin Ke for the child first!" The counselor left contentedly, but the classroom fell silent. Shen Tiantian suddenly found that countless eyes were all focused on him, like a pack of wolves seeing their prey...

Her scalp was numb, and she was trying to find a reason to sneak out first, regardless of the upcoming class, but her best friend had already grabbed her and said excitedly: "Tian Tian, ​​do you know my male god? Are you familiar with him?"

Shen Tiantian sighed, knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, she could only say: "Qin Ke is my cousin."

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly heated up, and a large number of girls surrounded them, chirping and saying: "Tian Tian, ​​so God Qin is your cousin, why didn't you say it earlier? Do you have a photo of him?" ? Recent photos and childhood photos are fine! I really want to see if my male god was cute when he was young!"

"Tian Tian, ​​my birthday will be in two days, I want my male god to say happy birthday to me, please help me."

"I don't ask too much, as long as the male god's high-level math secrets are fine."

"Tiantian, when will God Qin return to Yuanzhou, can he bring us to meet him..."

Suddenly a boy squeezed over and asked, "Student Shen, are you really Qin Ke's cousin?"

It turned out to be that arrogant male student He Gongwei who is particularly good at mathematics in the class!

It was the first time for Shen Tiantian to see him take the initiative to talk to her. Seeing his serious face, Shen Tiantian inexplicably felt the oppression from Xueba, she nodded nervously.

He Gongwei pushed his glasses, hesitated for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and folded his palms together, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "Student Shen, can you help me to ask God Qin when he will start recruiting students? I want to take his postgraduate entrance examination in the future! Uh... No... I treat you to dinner as a thank you?"

The corner of Shen Tiantian's mouth twitched, feeling that this guy's aura of a top student was shattered into scum all over the floor.

……

At the same time, Shen Tiantian's grandfather, Shen Tieshan, Qin Ke's grandfather, was sitting in a teahouse with a few former colleagues, drinking morning tea.

Shen Tieshan's life is much easier now, and Qin Xiaoke's grades have skyrocketed, so he doesn't need to worry about it.Regarding the Qingning Student Aid Foundation, Secretary-General Huo Baoyan and her team have also done a very good job. Shen Tieshan only needs to grasp the general direction, review reports and financial statements, and occasionally go to the project site for research and research.

He is getting old, and Qin Ke no longer agrees that he often travels long distances with the car to follow up the student aid project in the backward mountainous area, not to mention that the second phase of the student aid project is still in the remote prairie, and Huo Baoyan's team has moved to the capital to handle business Shen Tieshan is more free, except for going to Qingningshi Village Primary School every month to understand the follow-up effects of follow-up assistance.

So Shen Tieshan often met and chatted with old friends and colleagues from the academic circles.

"Speaking of which, old Shen, I haven't seen you drinking and smoking recently, and you prefer to drink tea instead?" Seeing Shen Tieshan sipping Pu'er tea leisurely, an old professor couldn't help asking.

"Don't mention it, it's not my grandson Qin Ke! Knowing that I am not in good health, he created a set of health-preserving exercises himself, forced me to learn it, and gave me a recipe, asking me to follow the recipe. What's abominable is that he asked my daughter and son-in-law to search all the cigarettes, alcohol, and alcohol in my house! That brat! He doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young at all!"

Shen Tieshan pretended to "reprove" his most proud grandson, but the corners of his lips curled up secretly.

The old man has now cultivated into an old Versailles.

Another old professor next to him said enviously: "Oh, Qin Ke still has this ability and can create health-preserving skills? Old Shen, you can be content. If you have such an excellent grandson, I would wake up laughing in my dreams, let alone care about you so much. , created a health-preserving exercise just for you!"

Shen Tieshan tried his best to keep a straight face: "I don't know if that kid made it up, anyway, he taught me the simplest dozen of movements through remote video, and also talked about other complicated movements. When he comes back from the summer vacation, he will do it hand in hand. Teach me. He also forced me to practice every day and follow the recipes to take care of my body. It’s a bit strange to say that I persisted for more than half a month, and it seemed to have some effect, and the symptoms of shortness of breath were relieved every time Quite a few, at least I can sleep through the night and won't wake up in the middle of the night with chest tightness and shortness of breath."

"So amazing? Why don't you teach us too?"

"I have to ask that kid about this. He said it was tailor-made for me. I don't know if it is suitable for you." Mr. Shen stroked the short beard of his chin, trying hard not to let his tone look too ostentatious. .

There was another burst of envious voices around, at this moment, someone suddenly pointed at the TV and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, the news is on again."

Shen Tieshan's table happened to be facing the TV, and when he looked up, he saw that the local TV station in Yuanzhou had interrupted the news again.

Everyone is a little accustomed to it. In such a second- and third-tier provincial capital city, the management of the TV station is a bit chaotic, and they often insert some "important news" during the TV drama.

Shen Tieshan and others were about to look away, but they heard the male news anchor on TV broadcast in a loud voice:

"According to the latest news, the selection of the important scientific award 'Science Breakthrough Award' held in the United States has released the selection results. Our young mathematicians Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun from Yuanzhou City have also won this year's 'Mathematics Breakthrough Award' ', became the only mathematician in the world to receive this honor, and also broke the youngest age record for the winner of the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics! It is reported that the prize money of this international award is as high as 300 million US dollars, and it is only awarded to those who have made outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics. mathematicians..."

The whole teahouse was startled for a moment, and then there was a series of exclamations and praises.

"It's amazing. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the pride of Yuanzhou City. They won the Chern Shiingshen Mathematics Award at the beginning of the year, right? They won another international award so soon!"

"300 million dollars, is it enough to buy ten houses here? They are only under 20 years old... We have been busy all our lives, and we can't make so much money."

"That's why I always say that our Yuanzhou has outstanding people and outstanding talents..."

"I don't know how their parents trained them to be able to train world-class mathematicians. I really want to learn from them."

"If my grandson can have half of their achievements, I will be very proud, alas!"

Listening to the discussions around him and the envious looks from his old colleagues at the table, Shen Tieshan felt more comfortable than drinking 20-year-old Moutai.

He tried his best to control the muscles in his face to keep from laughing out loud.

Then the old man coughed softly, got up and poured tea for his old colleagues, and pretended to be displeased: "Come, come, drink tea. That brat, who secretly went abroad to participate in the award selection, didn't even tell his family. Next time I have to criticize him severely."
