Hammer of Technology

The only Chinese winner of the Turing Award, this time is specially for Ning Wei, after all, he does not specialize in mathematics.In fact, when we were in the capital, we could cross the road, but due to various reasons, it was not convenient for the bosses to do this kind of thing, so they simply chose to meet after the meeting and talk about things.

"Actually, I don't think the children can be blamed for this. Some departments of the school have indeed gone too far." Yao Yuanzhi said indifferently.

It's hard for others to say anything about self-exposed family ugliness. Old Qiu was also depressed for a while, and said: "Playing the piano randomly!"

Academician Xi Ruonan, chairman of the Huaxia Mathematics Society sitting on the other side of Qiu Lao, smiled and said: "Qiu Lao, don't be angry. The matter is already like this. Besides, Lao Tian is also capable in teaching students. Lu Dongyi is now We have also grown up, we should be happy."

"Heh, I'll really ask that kid tomorrow, why is our Huaqing Numerology Institute so dishonest!" Old Qiu said sullenly.

……

The next day, the 2022 National Member Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society officially kicked off as scheduled.Although the meeting was scheduled to start at nine in the morning, Lu Dongyi woke Ning Wei up early to have breakfast, and brought Ning Wei to the venue at eight o'clock. To Ning Wei's surprise, even an hour earlier, There were already many people in the auditorium where the meeting was held.

Unlike the two world-class conferences that Ning Wei participated in, there is no pictorial exhibition area outside the annual mathematics conference. All the representatives are in the auditorium, which makes it even more lively.And before the conference started, he followed Lu Dongyi and met many bigwigs in the domestic mathematics field.

This is the first time for Ningwei to enter the domestic mathematics academic circle. Anyway, he doesn't know anyone well, but after following Lu Dongyi for a while, he roughly understands the influence of Yanbei University in the Chinese mathematics circle.

Let's put it this way, Lu Dongyi introduced to Ning Wei more than a dozen alumni who had graduated from Yanbei University, and ten of them were invited to give reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians held every four years. It is equivalent to the international mathematics community's recognition of these Yanbei University alumni's research in the field of mathematics.

You must know that there are only a few mathematics awards in the world, and the well-known ones are probably the Fields, Wolf, and Abel Awards.The Fields Medal is only awarded every four years, and the Wolf Medal is not awarded every year for mathematics awards, so there are very few mathematics masters who can really win the award.And many winners who have made great contributions in a certain field of mathematics may have been inspired by a paper by these scholars who are unknown to the outside world but have already given affirmation in the academic world, and have made world-renowned achievements.

Like any industry, the academic circle depends on countless people to lay the foundation, so that it can have the brilliance of those at the top of the pyramid.So in many cases, in addition to strength, you even need a little luck to win academic awards.But just because they haven't won a big prize, it doesn't mean that these scientists have been working hard in their respective fields for many years.

Ning Wei behaved very well in front of these alumni. In Lu Dongyi's words, these are all his own people. In short, when they met for the first time, they exchanged business bragging, and the effect was perfect.

Just this hour almost passed by in a flash, and soon it was nine o'clock, which was also the time for the opening ceremony of this conference. The lively scene quieted down, and everyone's attention was on the bosses on the rostrum .

As the annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society, at the opening ceremony, the chairman of the society naturally gave the opening speech first. Academician Xi Ruonan stood on the stage and gave a short but powerful speech. Academician Yao Yuanzhi from the direction delivered a speech.

Academician Yao affirmed the achievements of the Chinese mathematics community in recent years, talked about the close relationship between mathematics and computers, and finally expressed his expectations for the future. It took the two big men about half an hour to speak together, and After Academician Yao finished his speech, the microphone was handed over to Mr. Qiu.

Mr. Qiu began to speak. These academic leaders seemed to have no interest in empty speeches. After a few words, the opening ceremony entered the highly anticipated part, announcing the winners of this year's Hua Luogeng Award and Chen Shiingshen Award. It is the highest award in the mathematics field in China, but the former is mainly awarded to the older generation of scientists over the age of 50, while the latter is mainly awarded to young scientists under the age of 40.

Therefore, it can be roughly understood that the former is a lifetime achievement award in China, while the latter represents the high expectations of the Chinese mathematics community.

The Hua Luogeng Award was awarded to the 74-year-old Professor Yang Yanhua and Academician Wen Zhengyuan, thanks to the two pairs of conjugate exponents for the theoretical behavior, operator characterization and various The application of this special case, and the foundational work on the theoretical extension of hilbert-type inequalities.

Immediately following was the highlight of the conference, the Chern Award, which represented the future, and Mr. Qiu would still announce the winners on stage.

"In 2022, the first winner of the Chern Award is Professor Chen Zhe from Huaxia University of Science and Technology. Professor Chen Zhe, 27, published a paper "j-equation and supercritical Hermit-Yang Zhenning-Mills" in the journal New Advances in Mathematics. "Deformation of Equations" solves a core task that has plagued the field of complex differential geometry in the world for many years, that is, to solve these two equations under the premise of stability. Our Professor Chen Zhe has done it, let us congratulate Professor Chen Zhe!"

Qiu Lao's voice fell, and the on-site time did not even respond. There is no other reason. Although the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award has always been awarded to young scientists under the age of 40, Chen Zhe is really too young, only 27 years old!

You should know that before Chen Zhe, the youngest Chern Mathematics Prize winner was also a professor at Huaxia University of Science and Technology, but he was already 34 years old.In other words, Chen Zhe directly broke the record set by his alumni.

After the shock, the applause still rang out.After all, being able to receive the Chern Award at the age of 27 represents the expectations of the older generation of mathematicians for young people, and it also shows that Professor Chen Zhe has a bright future.

At this time, Chen Zhe also stood up from his seat, bowed to everyone, and then walked steadily onto the rostrum.

Ning Wei applauded as he watched the bustle, sighing in his heart, he didn't expect that the professor would be on stage to receive the award today after having dinner together yesterday.Of course, I really don’t have much envy. He believes that many people at the scene are still envious of him, for example, they envy him for having a bigger wallet...

However, when he was deeply moved, Brother Lu said suddenly: "You should also prepare."

"Me? What should I prepare?" Ning Wei was taken aback, Erzhang looked at Lu Dongyi puzzledly, and then quickly reacted: "Ah..."

At this moment, Mr. Qiu on the stage continued to speak after the applause: "I announce that the second winner of the 2022 Chern Mathematics Award, Ning Wei..."

229 Unfair World

Old Qiu's voice paused, mainly because the heated discussions in the audience were getting louder.

Indeed, many people think that the council’s joke this time is a little too big. This year’s Chern Mathematics Prize winners are a 27-year-old professor and a 23-year-old Ph.D. The youngest winner of the Huaxia Mathematics Grand Prize in history, and then a younger one, even if you don't consider what they think, what does Professor Chen think?Break a record for 1 minute, and then the record is broken by someone else!

Of course, for more people, the worry is not only about the age of the winners, but also the agreed seniority?After all, these awards are only awarded once every two years, and there are only two places at a time. For many professors who want to challenge their academician qualifications, these awards are capital for future selection.Especially for those mathematicians who are already 38 or 9 years old, if they fail to win the award this time, they will completely miss the award.

In addition, there are some discussions that are biased in the direction of gossip. Everyone knows that Ning Wei is Tian Yanzhen's student, and the conflict between Mr. Qiu and Tian Yanzhen was a big deal in the circle back then.In the end, Tian Yanzhen raised more than 3 million yuan by relying on his own influence to build the Yanbei International Mathematical Research Center, while Qiu Lao built a Mathematical Science Research Center in the school next door to Yanbei University.

Today Tian Yanzhen's student won the award, but the big boss Tian didn't come, but Mr. Qiu stood on the stage as a guest of honor to present the award to Tian Yanzhen's student, so did the two big bosses finally shake hands and make peace? Still old and dead?

In short, there are too many gimmicks in this year's Chern Mathematics Award, and there are also too many points for gossip!

Of course, many people didn't expect Ning Wei to contribute to himself in this discussion. When he heard his name, Ning Wei asked Lu Dongyi next to him: "Senior Brother Lu, why don't you and Director Tian follow?" I said?"

Ning Weicai didn't believe this. Tian Yan really didn't know. After all, Director Tian is currently the vice-chairman of the National Mathematical Society, and he must be indispensable in the evaluation of domestic awards.

"Probably because I'm afraid of you posting on Weibo." Senior Brother Lu replied concisely.

Ning Wei was speechless, could it be that he was so ignorant to everyone?How could he post such a thing on Weibo in advance?

Fortunately, only a group of mathematicians were able to participate in this meeting. For them, Mr. Qiu standing on the stage was definitely an existence like a magic needle. The noise in the auditorium fell silent.

"The reason for Ningwei's award is that the proposal of Ningwei Space has advanced the understanding of ns equations in the world's mathematics community, and proposed a very efficient new mathematical tool for the mathematics community to finally solve the uniqueness and smoothness of ns equations in three-dimensional situations ; At the same time, it solves the kls conjecture that has plagued the world for nearly 30 years, and provides a new idea for solving more complex bourgain cross-section problems; at the same time, the proposal of the theory of random comprehensive map of irrational numbers provides mathematicians all over the world to solve the mystery of irrational numbers. Another way of thinking, this award deserves its name! If it is not awarded to him, who else is willing to accept the award on stage this year?"

Old Qiu's last rhetorical question raised his voice a lot. It was obvious that he was standing on the platform for Ning Wei to win the award. The audience finally came to their senses, and warm applause followed.The main reason is that no one can refute it. Ningwei's age is indeed a little younger, but when the honors are mentioned, everyone's mouths are blocked.

The reporters on the scene were probably the most excited.

Today's mathematics conference is all big news. The minimum age limit for Chern Mathematics Award winners has been broken again and again. It is the first person in history to accept the award as a doctoral student. The reason for the award given by the organizing committee Two-thirds of it was obtained by Ning Wei during his undergraduate studies, and the most important thing is that Mr. Qiu was willing to stand for Tian Yanzhen's students...

To sum it up in three words: exciting!

At this time, because he had already stood up from his seat, walked onto the red carpet in the middle of the auditorium, walked up to the rostrum with steady steps, and then suddenly felt a cold and stern look, Ning Wei noticed it, Yu, who had met him several times yesterday and was rated as not very smart by him, was standing behind the rostrum holding the trophy and certificate that would be awarded to him.

This woman is really not very eye-catching. Although he was standing on the rostrum, he just didn't notice her existence just now.But standing on the stage is different, and he hasn't offended this girl, why should he stare at him?Fortunately, after shaking hands with Chen Zhe, after turning around, the gaze was gone.

Next came the award ceremony. The two female volunteers holding the medals and certificates first handed the medals and certificates to Mr. Qiu, and then Mr. Qiu distributed them to the winners.

Ning Wei received his medal and certificate from Mr. Qiu, and before he could say thank you, Mr. Qiu asked first in a low voice: "Ning Wei, I want to ask you, what is wrong with Huaqing University? Why isn't it more serious than Yanbei University?"

Old Qiu's voice was not loud, but Professor Chen Zhe, who was standing next to Ning Wei and had just won the award, could hear it just in time. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ning Wei in astonishment. Ning Wei also looked bewildered. The movements and expressions of the two people happened to be completely recorded by the camera facing the rostrum.From the photographer's point of view, it was probably Mr. Qiu who whispered something when presenting the award to Ning Wei, and then made the two winners of this year dizzy.

Of course, Ning Wei was the most dizzy, didn't he just win an award?Why do you want him to recall the mental journey of casually saying that sentence a year ago?Boss, this is bullying people.

However, when the elder asks questions, he has to answer them. Fortunately, Ning Wei's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of all the thoughts he had when he was thinking about the turbulence algorithm, and subconsciously replied: "Well, I like big eyes. Girls, at that time Huaqing made some squint-eyed models and said that it was fashion or high-end aesthetics, which really disgusted me, and made me subconsciously feel that Huaqing was not serious..."

"What kind of squint-eyed model? Besides, why are you an academic and pay attention to those who are engaged in art? What does it matter to Huaqing if they have high aesthetics? What does it matter to scientific research?"

Old Qiu's questioning reminded Ning Wei of what Lu Dongyi told him on the road, that one should be neither humble nor overbearing, and listen to what the bigwigs say is right, and of course argue with reason if what the bigwigs say is wrong, so he immediately said : "Old Qiu, you are wrong to say that. Normal aesthetics is the kind that makes people feel happy just by looking at it, and when beauty pleases the brain, it can make the thinking more agile and do research with half the effort; on the contrary If you see those weird makeup looks at school, it will make you feel depressed, which will cause your brain to be unable to think and affect your research efficiency. Well, I am still young, and I like to admire normal beauties, so it should be normal, right?"

Chen Zhe turned his head away, then lowered his head. For some reason, after listening to the conversation between the two, he suddenly wanted to laugh, but it was not very good to laugh at this time, because lowering his head would prevent the camera from capturing him. Timely expression.Of course, what he admired even more was that this guy Ning Wei could answer so calmly under the aura of Old Qiu, as expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Okay, I'll go and see what you said about the squint-eyed model later, and see if what you said makes sense!" Yes, Mr. Qiu actually didn't know what Ning Wei was talking about, so he could only stare at the child. After that, he said bitterly.

After all, I want to talk more, and now is not a good time. The time for a few words has been delayed by at least 1 minute. Of course, when the seniors present awards to the juniors in the auditorium, it is normal to say a few more words of encouragement. People find it too strange.But when the awards were presented and the three of them were all facing the rostrum, ready to be photographed by reporters, everyone could see the clues...

Why did Professor Chen Zhe's smile feel a little weird when he raised his head?Why did Mr. Qiu, who was standing in the middle, look so serious after turning around, without even a smile?The most normal one is probably Ning Wei, with a calm and breezy look.

Next came the acceptance speech. Obviously, Chen Zhe had already gotten wind of it, and he had some preparations. He spoke for about 10 minutes.When it was Ning Wei's turn, he could only watch Senior Brother Lu gnash his teeth in the audience.

No way, totally unprepared.

"I am very grateful to the teachers of the Huaxia Mathematics Society for their affirmation. I am also grateful to the teachers and professors of Jiangcheng University and Yanbei University for their long-term cultivation of me. I am also grateful to my current teachers Tian Dao and Brother Lu for teaching me a lot. , It also saved me a lot of detours on the road of mathematics. In the future, I will continue to work hard on the road of mathematics. After all, I am still young and still in school, so today I am just standing on the starting line, looking forward to my own progress. Can run better results!"

"Finally, thank you all again!"

The warm applause rang out again, even though Ning Wei's acceptance speech really made countless people feel mixed feelings and even gnash their teeth. The 23-year-old Chern Mathematics Prize winner, Ning Wei, this starting line may already be the end point of many people in the audience, and it may even be a goal that cannot be achieved in a lifetime.Especially for those mathematicians who are already in their forties, there are basically no opportunities.

How can this not be hated?

But no matter what the mentality of the audience is, when the award ceremony is over, it also means that today's opening ceremony has come to a successful conclusion.As for the report meeting, we had to wait until the afternoon, and when the opening ceremony that lasted all morning came to an end, the time for the reporters who had been waiting for a long time finally arrived.

They have accumulated too many questions about this awards ceremony, and if any one is thrown out, it will become big news, not to mention that there is a classmate Ning Wei who has a hot search physique among the winners this time.

Soon, the bigwigs who participated in the meeting were surrounded by reporters.

"May I ask Mr. Qiu, the age of the winners of this year's Chern Mathematics Award has hit a record low, does it mean that in the future, the Chern Prize will be more biased towards younger mathematicians?"

"Age has always been the least important reference factor in the evaluation of mathematics awards. The most important thing is the grades obtained. The so-called age bias does not exist. As long as you are under 40 years old, your grades in the next two years will surpass others. , then you are eligible for the award. So it should be said that our evaluation is fair, if there must be a dimension, it is the theory of achievement and contribution only!"

"Old Qiu, it is well known that Ning Wei is a student of Professor Tian, ​​and your relationship with Professor Tian and even the entire Yanbei University has not been very good. This time you personally presented Ning Wei, does it mean that the relationship between you and Professor Tian has been broken?" reconciliation?"

"As I said just now, the evaluation criteria for the awards are the achievements of the winners and their contributions to the field of mathematics. This has nothing to do with anything else, and there is no need to over-interpret it at all."

"Excuse me, Mr. Qiu..."

……

Of course, apart from those big names, the winners this time, especially Ning Wei, were also surrounded by more reporters, and they were asked several questions basically every step they took.

"Dr. Ning congratulates you on breaking the record of the youngest winner of the Chern Mathematics Prize. Do you have any special thoughts about this?"

"I didn't dare to think about this question before, but I haven't thought about it now. It is indeed a bit sudden." Ning Wei replied seriously.

"Dr. Ning, in addition to the record of the youngest recipient, you have also broken another record, because you may be the first billionaire to receive the Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Prize. Do you have any self-evaluation on this?"

Hearing that a reporter asked such a strange question, Ning Wei was taken aback. Really, he really didn't think about his award from this angle. He had to admire the brain circuit of the reporters, so he casually said He said: "Well, do you mean that I said that excellent people are excellent in all aspects? Well, thinking about it this way, it seems to be true."

"Dr. Ning, just now I heard someone say that the reason why your supervisor, Professor Tian, ​​didn't attend the conference this time is because he made a lot of compromises with other council members in order to let you win the award. Can you respond to this rumor?"

"I don't know where you know this. After all, Director Tian never talked to me about anything other than academics when he was repairing me, so I think you should ask Mr. Qiu or Academician Xi about this. Everyone knows, I’m still just a student, and my task at this stage is to study hard and make progress every day, I don’t know much about some things in the outside world, and I don’t have the time to understand them.”

"Dr. Ning, your achievements are admirable. Do you have any advice for other mathematics lovers?"

Ning Wei replied seriously: "Well, the essence of mathematics is an indispensable and important tool for scientific research, so mathematics can be said to be the ceiling that determines the upper limit of a scientist's achievements. So if you really love mathematics, please love it deeply, Don’t be afraid of difficulties. Of course, if you find that mathematics doesn’t love you, you should also learn to stop losses immediately, because the comparison of learning mathematics to a certain level is no longer simply studying hard, but competing for talent.”

While answering the questions tirelessly, Ning Wei realized that Chen Zhe, who won the award with him, had almost walked to the exit, and couldn't help feeling less beautiful...

By the way, everyone is an award winner. Why does Professor Chen Zhe have to deal with a lot of mentally retarded problems when there are not many reporters? Why is it so difficult for him to win an award so easily?

This world is so unfair!

------------

230 world-leading levels

You look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery look at you on the bridge.This sentence is quite literary and artistic, and it is especially appropriate to use it at this time.

Ning Wei complained about the injustice in his heart, but he didn't know that Professor Chen Zhe had noticed his movement early on, and then he complained similarly to him in his heart. This fucking world is really unfair!

Everyone won the award, why did a group of reporters surround Ning Wei?Just because he is younger and richer?

Of course, there may be more people who think that they can win the prize by rushing, and they are also cursing secretly in their hearts. Why do these two young people pop up in the past two years, do they still have to live?

In the end, all these complex mentalities have been transformed into sensational news headlines in this self-media era.

"The record of the youngest Chern Mathematics Award winner in history has been broken one after another!"

"The average age of the two winners of the 2022 Chern Mathematics Prize is only 25 years old!"

This is actually quite moral, but the age of the winner is just an issue, and there are even more unscrupulous titles abound in order to attract people in front of them.

"Shocked! The officially certified billionaire won the Shiingshen Chern Mathematics Award, and the well-known Chinese Mathematics Award has become a game for the rich?"

"Heavy! This year's Huaxia Mathematics Annual Conference announced the winner of this year's Chern Mathematics Award. The two winners are worth 20 billion on average!"

Of course, there are various other blockbuster titles. After all, Ning Wei’s credit is there, and there are actually many places to play, such as “From this year’s youngest winner of the Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Prize, look at the grievances and enmity between two top scientists in the Chinese mathematics field.” .”

These titles have indeed attracted countless people to click in and watch.

To be honest, the news that Ning Wei won the Chern Prize in Mathematics is not really a surprise to ordinary people.After all, ordinary people don't know the various promotion rules in the academic circle, and Ning Wei is a mathematician who, by his own strength, collapsed a concept sector that capital was just about to hype, so in the eyes of ordinary people, the mathematics award is not awarded to He is surprising.

So after being attracted by those titles, I clicked in and read it, and the general feeling was, "I've taken off my pants, so why don't you show me here?" After all, it's so normal for this billionaire to win an award. Are those shady scenes interesting?

Of course, there are people who have been hurt by these titles, such as Professor Chen Zhe who won the award with Ning Wei. What is the average net worth of 20 billion?Really, the moment I saw this title, Chen Zhe really wanted to vomit blood...

What he didn't know was that when Ning Wei saw the title, he was also taken aback, and sighed: "I'm going, Professor Chen is very rich, and he has more than [-] million in savings! Sure enough, he is a rich man! "

It's a pity that Ning Wei didn't click to read the specific content at all. In fact, the editor's article focused on analyzing the exposed personal income tax, and estimated that his personal wealth was about 40 billion.

Of course, at this time Ningwei only had Lu Dongyi by his side. As a senior brother, he could calmly accept Ningwei's intermittent Versailles, and he was used to staying with a young billionaire every day.Anyway, if the money is used for personal enjoyment, he would rather not spend it all. If it is used for scientific research, he can also benefit.For example, the supercomputing center that Ning Wei bought saved him from queuing up at Yanbei University's supercomputing center, and he could use even more computing power.

So Lu Dongyi's reaction was actually very calm: "Director Tian asked me to tell you, don't be shy, just like what you said in your award acceptance speech, take this award as a starting point, and then continue to work hard."

"Oh? Director Tian watched the entire awards ceremony?"

"That's for sure. You won the award and Mr. Qiu presented the award. Director Tian will definitely watch it. He sounded in a good mood when he called me just now. He also asked me to ask you. When receiving the award, Mr. Qiu told you said something."

"When Mr. Qiu asked me why Huaqing approached me, I said that Huaqing was not very serious. I explained the whole story to Mr. Qiu, and then Mr. Qiu said that he would go to verify it." Ning Wei said truthfully.

"Who did you say that Huaqing is not serious? Why haven't you heard of it before?" Lu Dongyi asked in surprise.

"The admissions teacher of Huaqing Research Institute, that was when I was in Jiangda University, I was busy with the turbulence algorithm patent review, and then a teacher from Huaqing called and said that he wanted to introduce me Some preferential policies, I casually said that going to Huaqing is not serious, then hung up the phone and blocked the number. What is there to publicize about this kind of thing?" Ning Wei roughly talked about the situation at the time.

"That's right, but it has been publicized that you are the star of Yanbei University. But I suggest that you don't go to the next door if you have nothing to do in the future. With your current influence, you may be beaten." Lu Dongyi said realistically.

"If you really want to go, I'll go with you." Ning Wei said seriously.

……

Ning Wei said so, and did so.Because the matter came very quickly, after the report meeting that afternoon, I received invitations from several bigwigs to have dinner together.

Yes, there is no need to attend the dinner party of the conference, just go directly to have dinner with all the bigwigs.
