No.30届国际数学家大会，将于9月1日至9月15日，在澳大利亚悉尼举办。

This is a grand event in the mathematics world held every four years.

According to statistics, there will be more than 5000 mathematicians and more than 200 media reporters from all walks of life in the world participating in this conference.

A record was set for the highest number of participants in history.

It also means that this is the largest international mathematical conference in history.

Hua Guo was invited to participate in the meeting of mathematicians, a total of 254.

It ranks only after the United States, England, and Sweden, the three major mathematics countries.

At the level of top mathematicians, Huaguo may still be far away from other big countries in mathematics, but the level and number of middle-level and bottom-level mathematicians are no less than that of big countries such as Britain and the United States.

Over the past four years, major mathematics countries such as Britain and the United States have been developing, but likewise, the mathematics community in Huaguo has also ushered in a vigorous and rapid development.

The injection of fresh blood and the rise of old-fashioned mathematicians undoubtedly no longer show that Huaguo's mathematics community has grown into a force that cannot be underestimated.

Among them, Cheng Nuo was undoubtedly the most typical representative.

Since the death of Mr. Chern Shing-shen, there has not been a mathematician in Huaguo's mathematics circle for a long time, who has achieved top-level research results in the world.

But the appearance of Cheng Nuo made up for this deficiency.

Proving the BSD conjecture, this achievement alone is enough for Cheng Nuo to be permanently engraved in the annals of world mathematics history.

It can be said that in terms of academic achievements alone, Cheng Nuo is the No. 1 in mathematics in Huaguo regardless of other aspects!
And this year, Cheng Nuo was only 24 years old!
…………

In mid-August, Cheng Nuo received an invitation letter from the International Mathematical Union.

At the end of August, Cheng Nuo and several professors from Tsinghua University who were invited to attend the conference flew to Sydney together.

Sydney, Bury Hotel.

There are many people around the hotel.

A commercial vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

The hotel's security opened the car door, and Cheng Nuo, dressed in a neat black suit, got out of the car and walked into the hotel amidst the exclamations of everyone.

"Wow, so young and handsome, who is this, is he also a mathematician invited to participate in the International Conference of Mathematicians?"

"That means you're ignorant, and you don't even know this one! He is Professor Cheng Nuo from Huaguo. He was the one who announced the proof of the BSD conjecture half a year ago!"

"Well, I heard that this person is a monster. You know, Professor Cheng Nuo is only 24 years old this year! We are also 24 years old, but he is about to win the Fields Medal, and we, doctors Haven't graduated yet!"

"Indeed, when you say that, I'm ashamed to see anyone!"

"That's nothing to you. Compared with Professor Cheng, I even doubt whether I was born to make up for humans!"

Cheng Nuo, who had already walked into the hotel, naturally couldn't hear the talk of the melon-eaters outside.

Walking into the lobby, looking at the magnificent decoration inside the hotel, and looking at the mathematicians from various countries who came towards him one after another with flattering smiles, Cheng Nuo felt a sense of sadness on his face.

He also attended the International Congress of Mathematicians four years ago.

But it was disguised as a waiter, and sneaked in.

At that time, due to the impact of Cheng Nuo's theorem, he ran away early for fear of being exposed.

Today is different.

He came here dignifiedly, and he didn't need to be sneaky like last time.

Moreover, last time, he could only stand in the audience, watching with envy the four mathematicians picked up the Fields Medal, which symbolizes the highest award in the mathematics world.

But this time, he will take the stage in person to accept the Fields Medal.

After exchanging a few words with several mathematicians, Cheng Nuo returned to the room on the pretext of preparing for tomorrow's academic report.

That's right, this year Cheng Nuo was also invited by the International Mathematical Union to give a 45-minute academic report at tomorrow's Mathematicians Conference.

As for the content of the report, Cheng Nuo had already prepared it long ago.

…………

The next day, September [-]st.

The opening ceremony of the No.30 International Congress of Mathematicians was held in the auditorium of Borui Hotel.

At the opening ceremony, a total of three international mathematics awards, the Fields Medal, the Gauss Medal and the Nevanlinna Medal, will be awarded.

Among them, the Fields Medal is the most eye-catching.

First, Mr. Manel, President of the International Mathematical Union, gave an opening speech.

The first to be awarded was the Newanglinna Award.

Cheng Nuo sat in the second row with several mathematicians nominated for the Fields Medal.

He crossed his fingers with a calm expression on his face.

Although it was still some time before the winners of the Fei Award were announced, the faces of the other nominated mathematicians sitting in the row with Cheng Nuo were not very calm.

There were even a few of them clenched their fists tightly and their palms were sweating.

They know that this may be the closest they will get to the Fields Medal in their lives. Once they miss it, they will truly miss it!
People will only remember who won the Filipino Award in the end, and they don't care who the rest of the nominees are.

This is a battle where the winner takes all and the loser gets nothing.

None of them want to lose.

The awarding process is complex.

More than an hour later, Cheng Nuo was so bored that he almost fell asleep when he saw Mr. Manel holding an envelope and walking to the microphone with a smile.

Cheng Nuo was immediately shocked.

He knew that the winners of the Philippine Awards would be announced soon.

Although he knew that, if there were no accidents, the Fields Medal would be firmly in his hands, but at this time, Cheng Nuo was still a little nervous.

The people next to him leaned forward one by one, with distorted faces, waiting for the final verdict.

On the stage, the smiling Chairman Manel raised the envelope in his hand.

"Everyone, the list of winners of the Fields Medal is now in this envelope. So far, the Fields Medal has been established for nearly a hundred years, and a total of 51 mathematicians have won this award."

"The Fields Medal was set up to honor young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics. I am honored that this purpose has been achieved. , are all outstanding and admirable. For their winners, every medal is well deserved!"

"It is under the leadership of this group of outstanding mathematicians that the world's mathematics has developed so rapidly, which is so shocking to outsiders."

"Now, I am honored to announce the No. 20th Fields Medal winner."

Chairman Manel tore open the envelope, and his old and loud voice echoed in the auditorium.

"They are……"

"Professor Cheng Nuo from Tsinghua University in China!"

"Professor Blick from the University of Melbourne, Australia!"

"Professor Darikaya from Harvard University in the United States!"

"Professor Don Standing from Oxford University in Yingguo!"
