Not to mention those secretly protecting Fang Yuan, the International Congress of Mathematicians is indeed a grand event in the mathematics world. Those who are invited to participate in this grand event are all prominent figures in the field of mathematics.

Fang Yuan didn't recognize the others, but he was very interested in getting to know them.

This year's International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Country B and was divided into two parts. The first part was an eight-day academic conference, and the second part was the award ceremony on the last day.

That is to say, Fang Yuan would not know the winner of this year's Fields Medal until eight days later.

Until the very last moment, no one could relax. None of those who came here were weaklings; they were all powerhouses in the mathematics world.

A total of more than 180 people were invited to give academic reports, outstanding mathematicians from 19 research fields.

Fang Yuan was the only one under the age of 25.

But what makes people laugh is that this youngest person is actually the one with the highest call for the Fields Medal.

In addition to Fang Yuan, there were eight mathematicians from Kyoto University and 12 Chinese. Here, we can also see the position of Kyoto University's mathematics major in China.

It's just a bit of a pity that among these 12 Chinese, only Fang Yuan has obtained the qualification for a 60-minute academic report.

Among them, there are also three who have obtained a 45-minute academic report time.

As for the rest, it goes without saying that at the International Congress of Mathematicians, an academic report of less than 45 minutes means that you are almost out of the running for the Fields Medal.

In other words, Fang Yuan, along with his other three alumni, is marching towards the Fields Medal at this International Congress of Mathematicians.

This is an achievement that Chinese people have never achieved before. For the Chinese mathematics community, this is the closest they have ever been to the Fields Medal.

Even without Fang Yuan, the remaining three also have the ability to challenge the Fields Medal.

The Chinese mathematics community is focusing on this International Congress of Mathematicians and also on these four mathematicians.

To be honest, people have never paid so much attention to the International Congress of Mathematicians as they do now!

Just like before Liu Xiang, not many people paid attention to the 110-meter hurdles. The International Congress of Mathematicians has always been a matter of concern for a few people.

Once a Chinese person can win an award at the International Congress of Mathematicians, then the Chinese people's attention to him will be completely different.

Just like a certain leader said before, we already have the Nobel Prize, and now we are only one Fields Medal away.

Will this International Congress of Mathematicians fulfill this leader's expectations? Will the name of a Chinese person appear on the list of this year's Fields Medal?

Fang Yuan didn't know. Before the final list came out, no one knew which four mathematicians would receive such an honor this time.

However, even if Fang Yuan doesn't win the Fields Medal, it's nothing. After all, he still has many opportunities!

But for the rest of the Chinese mathematicians, it's different. Almost none of them are still eligible to participate in the next Fields Medal selection.

In addition to Fang Yuan, the remaining three alumni who have obtained 45 minutes of academic report time will complete their academic reports on the first and third working days, respectively.

According to Fang Yuan's own calculations, the probability of these three alumni winning the Fields Medal will not exceed one percent, which means that they are almost destined to be陪跑 (pinyin: péi pǎo, 'accompany runners', meaning to be a contender who doesn't win).

Fortunately, with Fang Yuan as a guarantee, according to the usual practice, Fang Yuan's chances of winning the Fields Medal can be said to be the highest among those participating in this International Congress of Mathematicians.

The International Congress of Mathematicians did not keep these people waiting for long, and soon officially kicked off.

The entire conference process was uneventful. In fact, before the International Congress of Mathematicians was held, it had already been decided who would give which academic reports.

There are almost no surprises. Even if there are any new discoveries, it takes great courage to talk about them in an academic report before they are perfected.

Fang Yuan gave his academic report on the fourth day of the conference. It was the first time for Fang Yuan to experience such a scene.

This was completely different from when he participated in press conferences. You must know that the people sitting below are all prominent figures in the mathematics world.

Everyone wants to win the highest honor, so whether from an academic or personal point of view, they will do their best to find your loopholes. If you can't satisfy these people, then the Fields Medal is destined to be out of your reach.

But for Fang Yuan, he could completely handle the questions from these people.

It's not that Fang Yuan is boasting, but there are simply not a few people in the entire venue who can compare with him. Even to say something unpleasant, there is simply no one who can compare with him.

This is the confidence that LV8-level mathematics brings to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan has already advanced a long way on the road to LV8.

Sure enough, after the initial nervousness, Fang Yuan quickly entered the state.

These mathematicians were full of curiosity about this young man. The BSD conjecture has existed for decades. During such a long time, countless people have launched challenges against it, but only Fang Yuan has achieved the final victory.

This is something they didn't expect, or rather, something that everyone didn't expect.

You must know that Fang Yuan is only 23 years old, even by generous estimates. How could he be able to do such a thing?

Mathematics is not like other disciplines. It has particularly strict requirements on a person's foundation. It's not to say that you can have talent and be able to move unhindered in this field.

Even Gauss, the little prince of mathematics, didn't rely solely on talent to run rampant.

At that time, you simply couldn't find a mathematician who worked harder than him.

Looking at the young man talking eloquently on the stage, at this moment, these people seemed to understand something.

No wonder this kid can achieve such results at such a young age. It seems that he still has some real skills!

Indeed, Fang Yuan's achievements in academics go without saying. The LV8 level is enough for him to cope with all problems.

Even without the help of the system, as long as he wants to and can calm down, achieving the current results is only a matter of time.

"Here, according to formula (13), the previous conclusion can be deduced. From this, we can obtain the most important tool for proving the BSD conjecture. I will call it Fang's Theorem!"

"Next..."

"."

"From this, it can be seen that the BSD conjecture is completely established!"

After the report ended, Fang Yuan answered everyone's questions one by one. It is almost impossible for anyone to fully understand the proof of the BSD conjecture through a single academic report.

The people sitting here had already read Fang Yuan's published proof of the BSD conjecture before coming.

It is precisely because of this that they are full of admiration for this young man.

In the world of academia, there is no intrigue. As long as you have real strength, you will gain the corresponding status.

In the following academic reports, Fang Yuan still listened carefully as before.

But this did not delay his private actions.

Fang Yuan has already started his own plan. The 12 Chinese scientists who came to participate in this conference have become familiar with Fang Yuan.

Since Fang Yuan intends to make friends, they will not put on airs. Moreover, if they still put on airs with this one, how brain-dead would they be?

Even if they are focused on academics, who wouldn't know the name Fang Yuan?

In this era, how fast thoughts are, how fast information is transmitted. This is not an exaggeration.

The eight conference days ended quickly. Fang Yuan closed his notebook, which was densely filled with the important conclusions he thought were important from this conference.

There were also some inspirations he had temporarily generated.

Fang Yuan has already used up three of these notebooks.

Of course, it's not just what was used up in the conference, but also what was organized back at the hotel.

Isn't that right? After coming here, Fang Yuan realized that there are so many outstanding mathematicians in the world. His current level is considered to be among the top, but there is no particularly large gap.

At most, he is more versatile, while these people are more or less inclined to one research direction.

"Ah! This time's harvest is really enough!" Fang Yuan weighed the three notebooks in his hand and said to himself.

"And my efforts these past few days have not been in vain!" Even though none of the Chinese people who came to participate in the conference agreed to work at Fang Yuan's research center, they all recommended their best students to Fang Yuan.

After all, these people have their own careers, and Fang Yuan can't just rely on his silver tongue to trick them into coming.

At this time, Fang Yuan suddenly remembered the N-P complete problem that he had left to gather dust in the system. Was he being a bit extravagant?

To actually leave one of the seven millennium problems to gather dust?

However, he really doesn't have the energy to solve this problem for the time being. If the system had given him a truly complete proof process, Fang Yuan would have solved this problem the next day.

The latest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

Unfortunately, this坑货 (kēng huò, 'pit goods', meaning unreliable or useless) system doesn't seem to know what a complete proof process is at all. It's not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

"Sigh! There's still not enough manpower!" Fang Yuan shook his head and suddenly exclaimed.

"I wonder if I can trick those guys over. It would be best if I could trick all of these people over!" Fang Yuan thought of the students they recommended to him.

The students who can be praised by these people must have good qualities.

Fang Yuan is still very relieved about this.

He still has a lot of good stuff in his hands! He's just waiting for these people to be in place so that he can implement his plan simultaneously.

But now there is a problem in front of Fang Yuan.

That is the Fields Medal to be announced tomorrow.

After being an observer for a few days, Fang Yuan began to doubt his chances of winning an award.

After all, everyone here was a formidable figure; each one possessed terrifying strength.

According to the system's classification, no one attending to give an academic report had a math level lower than LV7, and quite a few had reached LV8.

Two individuals even showed a subtle trend of surpassing Fang Yuan's academic level; if it weren't for the cheat code that was the system, Fang Yuan wouldn't even be qualified to stand here.

Perhaps his academic literacy was stronger than most people here, but what he lacked was time.

Even the youngest person here was at least five years older than Fang Yuan, and for mathematicians, five years between the ages of 25 and 40 meant a significant difference in level.

This wasn't an exaggeration; this period was the golden age for people engaged in academic pursuits; otherwise, the Fields Medal wouldn't have a restriction of being under 40 years old.

If it weren't for Fang Yuan, this anomaly, the Fields Medal might have added a condition that the recipient's age couldn't be less than 25.

Even if it wasn't added, it was still a fact.

From the birth of the Fields Medal until now, no one had been able to receive this honor before the age of 25.

Fang Yuan might be the first person to challenge for the Fields Medal before the age of 25, and he might also be the last.

Of course, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

After all, humanity is constantly progressing, and who can guarantee what kind of things will happen in the future?

One thing that cannot be changed is the past.

And one thing that cannot be determined is the future.

After tossing and turning, Fang Yuan finally calmed down; in such a scene, he believed there were many others like him.

Even if they said they didn't care on the surface, who could really not care about the Fields Medal?

This was the Nobel Prize of the mathematics world! And it was an award that the Chinese had never won before.

The temptation for Fang Yuan was imaginable.

The next day, Fang Yuan got up early, washed up, got dressed, and prepared for today's award ceremony.

Today, the winners of the Fields Medal would be revealed, and not only that, but the Gauss Prize, the Nevanlinna Prize, and the Chen Shiing-Shen Prize would also be announced today.

Fang Yuan was the most powerful contender for all the awards, even the Nevanlinna Prize, after all, whether in information science or mathematics, Fang Yuan had achieved considerable accomplishments.

Especially those papers he published on artificial intelligence, which simply opened a new door for people.

How could Fang Yuan not value today? It was still the same venue as the previous days, but Fang Yuan's mood was completely different.

Before, it could be said to be an exchange, but now it was time to reap the rewards.

He didn't ask for much; one Fields Medal and one Chen Shiing-Shen Prize would be enough; let others compete for the remaining two!

Yes, the Chen Shiing-Shen Prize aside for the moment, the Fields Medal was a must-win for every mathematician.

That's right, today, this award that haunted the dreams of all mathematicians would reveal its final mystery.

Who exactly would it go to?

Fang Yuan was very much looking forward to this.

At the same time, countless people in China were also paying attention to this news.

Unlike B Country, where it was still early morning, it was already evening in China.

That's right, Fang's father forcibly dragged his good friends, especially Old Wang, to his house.

Just to witness the achievements his son would make next.

You say, why was Fang's father so sure that Fang Yuan would win the award?

Isn't that nonsense? Which father wouldn't have confidence in his own son? Even if Fang Yuan didn't have the qualifications to win the award, Fang's father would still show off a little.

In order to watch the International Congress of Mathematicians, Fang's father specially bought a foreign pay channel.

That's right, before the award ceremony even started, Fang's father began to build momentum for Fang Yuan.

First, he popularized the reporting time at the International Congress of Mathematicians for these old friends, and then he introduced the whole process of Fang Yuan proving the BSD conjecture to them.

Anyway, in Fang's father's mouth, Fang Yuan was already an omnipotent fellow.

His old buddies were already accustomed to this situation, and no one would sing a different tune with Fang's father at this time.

Even if what Fang's father said was indeed a bit exaggerated, his boy could actually round up all the things he had bragged about.

This was the main reason why these guys didn't object.

In the final analysis, it was still the karma created by Fang Yuan!
