From top stream to scholar

Yu Wanzhou smiled, and Jiang Yi had already left.He looked at it for a while and found it meaningless.Back in the room, everyone was watching a few people playing cards. Yu Wanzhou took a look and went back to his room to continue working on NP-complete problems.In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year. It is very interesting to have a large group of people together. After breakfast in the morning, we will go out for a trip.When I came back at noon, I bought some vegetables and finished my lunch.Take a break in the afternoon to chat about life, play cards, watch TV, etc. in the evening.

Especially in the environment of a child like Yu Chuwei, everyone spoiled him so much.Even when Yu Wanzhou wanted to drag him to study, Jiang Yi's parents were the first to stand up and object.

"The child is still so young, can I learn mathematics from you?" Jiang Yi's mother whispered to Yu Wanzhou, "You are a mathematician, so it is certain that you are good at mathematics, but this child is still young, so I will learn from you." What can he learn. Let him play first."

"Auntie, I finally know why Brother Yi's academic performance is not good." Yu Wanzhou couldn't laugh or cry.

"You child, you really can't speak." But the words were said with a smile, Yu Wanzhou herself is also a child, and she has just grown up.Your Excellency will definitely not care about Yu Wanzhou.Besides, he is a real mathematician anyway, so it seems quite normal that this researcher can't speak.

Jiang Yi came over and said to Yu Wanzhou, "You talk too much, study it yourself." Jiang Yi drove Yu Wanzhou away, they were teasing Yu Chuwei.Yu Wanzhou continued to study her own NP-complete problem by herself. Sure enough, when this group of people got together, especially his brother, brother-in-law and Jiang Yi, they just got together to drink and chat.

Fortunately, Jiang Yi didn't go to bed very early or went back to his room very late, and it didn't disturb him.

Not to mention that although he was in Qiong Province for the Chinese New Year, Yu Wanzhou really had nothing to do a few days before the Chinese New Year.Basically, other things were done by his brother and sister and Jiang Yi, so he just studied his own things every day, even Yu Chuwei had so many people to lead him.He only needs to do his own thing. Apart from eating, sleeping, and traveling every day, Yu Wanzhou just does his math research.It's quite leisurely, and this kind of life is a very good state of life for Yu Wanzhou.

A large part of the research has also been carried out, that is, because the calculation is very complicated, he has not completely solved it.The idea is correct, you only need to calculate correctly, and finally check the calculation.

However, this process is relatively long. Yu Wanzhou estimated that it will probably take several months.

During the Chinese New Year, a large group of people gathered around to eat, and Yu Wanzhou sat next to Jiang Yi, squinting at these people laughing and drinking.Then the TV was filled with the excited voice of the host, Yu Wanzhou yawned and stretched.Watching the pictures on the TV is indeed a bit boring. A person who doesn't like watching TV, let him just watch TV like this, and occasionally have to chat with the person opposite, Yu Wanzhou really can't bear it.

After a while, Yu Wanzhou's cell phone rang.

I took out my phone and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number, or a call from another country.

Jiang Yi next to him said while playing cards, "Hey boy, your phone is ringing, answer it quickly."

Yu Wanzhou thought about it for a while, who is this? Why are you calling him for Chinese New Year?Yu Wanzhou stared at the phone for a long time, and Jiang Yi next to him continued, "What? You don't want to answer the phone? Why don't you hang up."

"Forget it." Yu Wanzhou pressed the answer button.

"Hi, is this Mr. Yu?"

"I am." Yu Wanzhou froze for a moment, "You are?"

"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences." The voice on the other side said, "I called Princeton University before, and they said that you have returned to China."

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?This... It is impossible for him to win the Nobel Prize. By the way, it is true that Professor Constantine won the Nobel Prize this year.But... what does it have to do with him.He also fiddled with polymer chemistry, and besides, this is not the time for the Nobel Prize.

Yu Wanzhou was very confused, "You are from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, so what can you do with me?"

"Mr. Yu, congratulations, you have won the Craford Mathematics Award. Please go to Sweden in September to receive the award." The voice on the other end of the phone was quite brief, "We will send you the contact information by email later. And the way to get the reward will be sent to your email. Of course, we will also update you on the official website. If you have any doubts, you can call us at any time or go to the official website to search.”

"Thank you." Yu Wanzhou froze for a moment.

The Crafoord Prize in Mathematics, established by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1980, is funded by the donations of Holger Crafoord and his wife Anna-Greta.The awarding disciplines include mathematics, earth sciences, astronomy and biological sciences, and are awarded once a year to reward outstanding achievements in one of the disciplines. ①

Although it is not a Nobel Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is still the main review and awarding unit for this award. It is a very strict award with great authority in the academic world.

For example, in addition to hosting the Crafford Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will also mainly review another world-wide authoritative award—the Nobel Prize in Science.

It's just that the award was supposed to be received in September. Logically speaking, they wouldn't announce it so soon, and they still told him during the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Yi heard a lot of chatter on the phone, but he didn't understand what it was.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yi said while playing cards, "Did your school call you?"

"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences gave me a call." Yu Wanzhou was stunned. The Fields Medal is the highest award in mathematics, but the Craford Award is not low in gold.Naturally, the more rewards he gets, the better, as long as it's not a pheasant award, there is no gold content award.The more awards he received, the higher the treatment he would receive when he came back in the future.

He really never expected that after receiving the Fields Award, he would be able to directly receive another Craford Award with a huge gold content.

This award, perhaps outside of academia, is rarely heard of.But in the academic world, it is famous and has a very high gold content award.

"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?" Jiang Xi said from the side, "Why did I call you? I can't tell you to go to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, right?"

"Also... really let me go to Sweden in September." Yu Wanzhou was already in a daze, and when Jiang Yi raised his head to look at him, he found that Yu Wanzhou hadn't recovered yet.

"I said, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yi shook Yu Wanzhou's body, "Why are you stunned? Why are you going to Sweden?"

"Take...a prize." Yu Wanzhou took a deep breath, "The people from the Swedish Academy of Sciences told me just now that I won the Crafford Prize in Mathematics, and I will go to Sweden to receive the prize in September. The prize is worth 50 US dollars Woolen cloth."

"And it's an authoritative award." Yu Wanzhou's throat rolled, and she said with disbelief, "In addition to reviewing the Crafford Prize, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will also review the Nobel Prize in Science."

"Ah?" Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, "Then this award, is it very powerful?"

"Not as great as the Fields Medal." Yu Wanzhou lay on the sofa. "But it's not bad. Although it's not the highest award in mathematics, it's still comparable to the Nobel Prize."

"Okay." Jiang Yi rubbed Yu Wanzhou's head and said, "With you, you won another prize, right?"

"No, I have to go to the official website to see, don't be tricked by others." Yu Wanzhou stood up suddenly. At the time of the Fields Award, he hadn't reacted at all.But he had already received the medal, and the real feeling made his initial excitement short-lived.But at this time, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences called him a few months ago and told him that he would receive the award in September.

Yu Wanzhou felt unreal, rushed to the room, Jiang Yi looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to join in the fun too."

"Wait, I'll go too." Jiang Xi also ran along, but Yu Wanshen came last instead. When several people came to the room, Yu Wanzhou had already turned on the computer and entered the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Start reading.

Sure enough, the list of winners of this year's Crawford Prize has been announced—however, his introduction is Yu Wanzhou, deputy director of the Max-Planck Institute of Mathematics and a PhD student at Princeton University.

After looking at it, there was still a photo that I did not know where I found it. Yu Wanzhou was convinced that if this was not a dream, he really won the Crawford Award.

"Hey, Xiaozhou's photos are all on this website." Before Jiang Yi finished speaking, Yu Wanzhou had already squeezed Jiang Yi's arm hard.

"I..." Jiang Yi gasped in pain, "Xiaozhou, what are you doing?"

"Well, this is not a dream." Yu Wanzhou nodded and turned off the computer calmly, "Okay, let's continue watching TV."

"Still watching TV?" Jiang Yi widened his eyes, looked at Yu Wanzhou in disbelief and said, "You have won an award."

"That's right." Yu Wanzhou was acting very calm now, as if he wasn't the one who lost his mind just now.

"I said you won an award, can you continue to watch TV?"

"Why not?" Yu Wanzhou asked back, "Since it is confirmed that he has won the Craford Mathematics Award, then he can't run away. Can't I go and receive it in September?"

On the contrary, Yu Wanzhou said puzzledly, "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

"Are you happy enough to be in the hospital?" Yu Wanzhou snorted arrogantly, "It's just a Crawford Award, I already got the Fields Award, so what about the Crawford Award?"

"Hey, I'm getting arrogant now." Jiang Yi mercilessly exposed Yu Wanzhou, "It seems that we were the ones who got excited just now, right, Jiang Xi."

"Cough cough." Jiang Xi coughed lightly, "This is indeed a happy thing, let's go, continue to be happy."

Coming to the living room, Yu Wanrong said with a smile, "Are you sure?"

Sitting beside Yu Wanrong, Jiang Xi said with a smile, "I'm sure, there are still photos of Xiaozhou on the Internet."
