God's Crown

When he opened the door, he saw a young man outside the door smiling at An Yan and saying, "Hello, Professor An."

"Eh..." An Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded to the young man and said in surprise, "Is today the 9th?"

"That's right, today is the 9th, and it's time for you to attend the banquet at the city hall." The young man said with some hesitation, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"Not at all." An Yan said to the young man, "Then just wait a minute, I will come out later."

"Okay." The young man nodded slightly.He didn't urge An Yan, just stood outside the door and waited for An Yan.An Yan who turned around looked at the scene outside the door, the young man was nodding at him, An Yan smiled slightly, watching the progress on the computer.

62%...73%...85%...99%...

With a sigh of relief, I saw that a paper was uploaded to arXiv.After turning off the computer, he stepped out and said to the young man, "Let's go."

"Okay." The young man led An Yan out of the hotel and said as he walked, "Usually, the banquet at the city hall is held at six o'clock in the evening."

"What time is it?"

"Uh, it's almost five o'clock."

Wang Yunqi and He Yang were already waiting for An Yan outside the hotel door, when they saw the professor coming out, they rushed forward to meet him and said with a smile, "Professor."

"En." An Yan nodded slightly, nodded without speaking.

"You haven't come out after staying in the hotel for several days." He Yang scratched his head and said, "Professor, have you finished your project?"

An Yan glanced at He Yang, "Didn't I tell you? I definitely can't do it now." Sighed, "I still have to sort out my thoughts on this topic. When I can do it, I don't know." Too sure." Covering her forehead, An Yan shook her head.The young man at the embassy did not speak.

He is a novice in this respect, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything, so it's better not to make fun of him.

Wang Yunqi spread his hands and said, "What did I tell you, Senior Brother He, the professor must have not done it now."

He Yang said with a smile, "I thought the professor made it in the hotel these days."

"How can it be so fast." An Yan shook his head and said, "If I can make it so fast, I don't know when this grand unified theory has been made by others, and I have nothing to do. Why? Yang, you have to understand that there are always a lot of geniuses, and you can't think that there are no geniuses in this world just because you rarely see them, in fact, the most indispensable thing in this world is geniuses."

He Yang didn't speak, and Wang Yunqi didn't speak either, but just followed An Yan silently.

The embassy staff coughed lightly and said, "Professor An, let's get in the car first."

"Okay." After An Yan and the two students got into the car, they arrived at the City Hall of Stockholm not long after.At this time, the city hall looked quite lively, with melodious music and crowds passing by.Looking at everything in front of him, An Yan actually didn't have much interest.To be honest on this occasion, An Yan didn't really want to come, it's better to continue researching the project at the hotel.

Maybe when the subject will be solved by him?

It's a pity that he definitely can't study his subject in the hotel now.Not only now, but also in the next few days, there is no way to calm down and think about the topic.

Today is a banquet, and tomorrow is an awards ceremony. The ambassador of the embassy invited him the day after tomorrow. If he doesn't go, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the ambassador?In addition, after returning to China, there will definitely be countless media flocking to him. At that time, if he wants to think about the topic quietly, it may not be that simple.

Sighed, Wang Yunqi and He Yang next to him didn't quite understand why the professor sighed.I think the professor shouldn't be sighing now, after all, the professor is already very good.What's more, the professor has done a good job, at least in their opinion, the professor has done a good job, very good.I don't quite understand why the professor sighs, maybe this is the difference between them and the professor?

"Professor An?" A man with a European and American face walked up to him and said with a smile, "Professor An, congratulations on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"Thank you." An Yan said with a smile after shaking hands with that person, "Who are you?"

"Oh, look at my memory." He said with a smile, "I am March from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

"Mr. March? I remember you were one of the judges for the Physics Prize?"

March said with a smile, "Yes, Professor An knows?"

"It's not a special understanding." An Yan said with a smile, "I just heard someone talk about it."

"I heard that what Professor An is doing now has something to do with Datong?"

"Yes, it is indeed related to the great unification, and it is still something on the subject of the grand unification theory."

"I am very much looking forward to Professor An's real grand unified theory."

"You are admiring me. It may be very difficult for me to make a grand unified theory." An Yan thought for a while and said, "The requirements of a grand unified theory are very high, and gravity and electromagnetism themselves do not have a theory that can communicate. , if I want to make it, I have to make this theory first."

An Yan scratched her head and said, "I'm afraid it's a very difficult thing."

"But Professor Ann." March raised his volume, and many people in the Stockholm City Hall were talking loudly.March wasn't sure An Yan would be able to hear him if he didn't raise his voice a little.

"I always believe that if there is a scientist in this century who can make a grand unified theory, then only you are the best candidate, or in other words, only you can solve the grand unified theory." March said with a smile , "Usually they call the grand unified theory the crown of physics. Because the grand unified theory itself is to explore the ultimate truth of the universe, in my opinion, the only person who can take off the crown is Professor An."

"This..." Is it a business bragging?An Yan thought for a while, but without showing any expression on his face, he just smiled and said, "Since the grand unified theory is the crown of physics, it may be a very difficult thing to crown the crown. Actually, this subject I still can't think clearly in many places. Originally, I wanted to think about this problem quietly, but now it seems that I can't think about it quietly."

"Professor An is still young. I heard that Professor An is only 23 years old this year, far from the golden age of a scientific researcher. I think it is possible for Professor An to come up with a grand unified theory."

"Of course, I have to say something." March paused, arousing An Yan's curiosity.

So, what does this March want to say?An Yan looked at March ponderingly, his expression didn't seem to change at all, but March said at this time, "Professor An, do you know that if you can make a grand unified theory, I believe that the Nobel Prize may be rewarded again in the future." There is a way for you."

"Thank you, Mr. March." An Yan and March shook hands again, and March raised his glass and said, "For the sake of the unified theory, how about we suggest that we have a toast?"

"Of course." An Yan nodded, "But Mr. March, I have to say, I don't like to drink alcohol. How about I use drinks instead of wine?"

"No problem." After clinking glasses, the two smiled at each other, as if there was some secret between them.I don't know if the two have any secrets, but after An Yan toasted with March, March had already left.He walked to the corner, and Wang Yunqi didn't seem to talk to anyone.On the contrary, He Yang was eating snacks while talking with others, as if he was very hungry.

Seeing He Yang gobbling it up, he shook his head and said to Wang Yunqi next to him, "This guy looks like he was abused by me."

Wang Yunqi also thought it was a bit funny, looked at He Yang wolfing down, shook his head and said, "Professor, I think he is really hungry."

"Probably." An Yan nodded, but did not continue talking.

The people here were still chatting non-stop, An Yan rubbed his eyebrows, saw that there was a seat next to him, and originally wanted to go over and sit down.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of An Yan. This was a middle-aged man with an Asian face.Looking honest and honest, he smiled at An Yan and said, "Professor An?"

"Hello?" An Yan was taken aback for a moment, this person spoke Chinese, could it be that he is from Huaguo?

"My surname is Sheng, Sheng Zhu. I am currently working in the embassy."

"Hello, Mr. Sheng." After shaking hands with him, An Yan asked, "Is there anything Mr. Sheng wants from me?"

"It's Professor An like this." Sheng Zhu looked at An Yan and said thoughtfully, "I have something I want to ask Professor An."

"You say."

"You have won the Nobel Prize in Physics." Sheng Zhu said with bright eyes, "Look, when do you think you should return to China? Or, do you have any plans to return to China?"

"Oh?" An Yan became interested, looked at the noisy city hall, turned around and said, "If Mr. Sheng doesn't mind, we can find a quieter place to talk about this matter."

"Okay." Sheng Zhu nodded slightly.

The two left the city hall from the corner, and when An Yan left, he told Wang Yunqi not to move around in the city hall, and don't let him come out to find him indiscriminately.He believed that this Mr. Sheng would not be against him here.What's more, An Yan felt that Mr. Sheng should be from the Huaguo government, maybe from some other unit.

As for Mr. Sheng's claim that he is from the embassy, ​​An Yan doesn't think he is from the embassy.It's more like some other guy in the talent department.

After leaving the city hall, An Yan saw a coffee shop around the corner.

He frowned and said, "A cup of coffee?"

"Yes." Sheng Zhu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "However, I'm not used to the smell of that thing."

"It seems that Mr. Sheng rarely drinks coffee."

"It's not like Professor An, who has been abroad all year round."

An Yan smiled, Sheng Zhu's words were almost equivalent to a showdown.

After arriving at the coffee shop, An Yan and Sheng Zhu ordered two cups of coffee and sat in the corner.An Yan looked at Sheng Zhu and said, "I don't think Mr. Sheng is from the embassy, ​​right?"

"Why is Professor An so sure that I must not be from the embassy? I remember that Professor An has never been to the embassy, ​​right? What's more, I am in the embassy now, and I am half of the embassy."

An Yan chuckled, "Mr. Sheng, who are you?"

"Talent Planning Bureau." Sheng Zhu raised his brows, "This is a department that has just been established. To be honest, before the treatment in Huaguo was not as good as other countries, the recruitment of talents depends entirely on the self-consciousness of foreign students. Now it's fine. , The times have changed, and we in Huaguo can be considered rich."

"So the planning bureau is looking for scientific researchers all over the world?"

"Of course not." Sheng Zhu shook his head and said, "Because there was a serious brain drain before, the idea of ​​setting up the Talent Planning Bureau is to prevent this serious brain drain. Our goal is usually to persuade seniors like you Scholars at the national level will return to China, and it will lead to a certain atmosphere of returning to China.”

"I heard that Professor An doesn't seem to intend to change to another nationality?"

"Indeed." An Yan felt that he didn't want to change his nationality, so he nodded and said, "I haven't thought about changing my nationality."

"Then, Professor An, what do you think of Hua Guo at present?"

"So-so, neither good nor bad." An Yan said in a deep voice, "At least the subject I'm studying may be difficult to pass in Huaguo, right?"

"You're right, even though there's plenty of money now, there's a lot to make up for. Plus, everyone wants to make some grades, and right now we're actually biased towards the application side, like It is a theoretical subject like yours, it is difficult to pass."

"So, that's why I'm not going back now."

"But you have won the Nobel Prize now. I believe that even if you go back to China and apply for a theoretical project, you will pass. And I think you may be able to participate in the National Natural Science Award. I believe you can win the first prize."

"You want to say, maybe I can become an academician soon after I return to China, right?"

Sheng Zhu didn't speak, but looked at An Yan with a smile.

"To be honest, Mr. Sheng, my project here is halfway through, and it is definitely impossible for me to go back to China now. What's more, maybe two of my students will graduate soon."

"Professor An's students, I think all universities are scrambling for important people now?" Sheng Zhu said in a deep voice, "For example, Chen Ming and Han Qiu, one of them is an associate professor at Jinghua University, and the other is an associate professor in Beijing. Senior researcher at a large international mathematics research center."

"Didn't I hear that Chen Ming went to Yucheng Advanced Research Institute?"

"It didn't work." Sheng Zhu shook his head and said, "You also know that the situation of scientific research in China is actually not simpler than that in foreign countries."

"Actually, they're pretty much the same." An Yan said with a sneer, "It's like this everywhere, a bunch of schoolboys."

"..." Sheng Zhu glanced at An Yan secretly, he really didn't understand why An Yan thought others were schoolboys.To be honest, if you want to talk about a schoolboy, he thinks that An Yan is actually a schoolboy.

And after returning to China, I am afraid that he is the biggest schoolboy.

Are you kidding, Fields Medal winner, Nobel Prize winner.With these two honors added together, there are almost no people in the academic world who dare to be tough with An Yan.

It seems to be Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang's suggestion, now Huaguo will attach great importance to it.What's more, Professor An is a professor in the prime of life and has more possibilities in scientific research.Isn't this the biggest university in itself?

"Ahem." Sheng Zhu's cough made An Yan feel a little weird.

"Why, Mr. Sheng has a cold?"

"It's not like I have a cold."

"Then what does Mr. Sheng want to say? I think Mr. Sheng seems to want to say something."

"No, it's Professor An like this." Sheng Zhu said thoughtfully, "I think, Professor An, can you return to China sooner?"

"Let's talk about it." An Yan rubbed his brows and said, "It's not that I don't want to go back to China, I just want to go back to China after finishing the last theoretical physics project. I believe that if this project is done, it will be beneficial to Applied physics in the future will also be very helpful."

"Okay, Professor An." Sheng Zhu said with a smile, "If you plan to go back to China, please give me a call."

"Isn't it? I still need to call you when I return to China?" An Yan stared at Sheng Zhu blankly. To be honest, he didn't think it was necessary at all.

It's just going back to China, why bother to call Sheng Zhu.

"Professor An." Sheng Zhu said thoughtfully, "The current situation is not clear yet, do you understand what I mean?"

An Yan stared at Sheng Zhu for a while, and thought about the implication of Sheng Zhu's words.Probably because he was afraid of what would happen to him when he returned home.

However, he is only engaged in theoretical physics, so it is not enough for people from other countries to play like this.I've played it once before, isn't this a joke?What, do you still want to continue playing?

An Yan always felt that it was impossible to continue playing like this, but she didn't want to hurt Sheng Zhu's face.He nodded and took the phone number Sheng Zhu handed over, "Okay, I will definitely call you when I return to China."

Sheng Zhu heaved a sigh of relief, because before An Yan had almost encountered some things that no one wanted to happen in Huaguo, he couldn't guarantee if anything would happen when An Yan returned to China.Therefore, he felt that the safest thing to do was to ask An Yan to call him before returning to China, and he would make arrangements. This was the most appropriate way.

"Professor An, let's go back first, I guess many people are looking for you." Sheng Zhu said with a smile, "Today, you are the protagonist here."

"Okay." An Yan nodded and stopped talking, turned around and left the coffee shop with Sheng Zhu.

Back at Stockholm City Hall, the music was still blaring.

And when An Yan entered the Stockholm City Hall and watched everyone talking non-stop, the number of views on arXiv suddenly began to increase crazily.

"Professor An." Someone came to An Yan's side and said to An Yan with a smile, "Congratulations, you have won the Nobel Prize."

"Thank you." An Yan smiled slightly.

At this moment, someone whispered a voice in the ear of the person congratulating An Yan, and his face changed drastically.Taking a deep breath, he looked straight at An Yan, as if something terrible had happened.

At this moment, it seemed that many people turned their heads to look at An Yan.

"Huh?" An Yan froze for a moment, a little at a loss.
