From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

The meeting room fell into a quiet atmosphere.

Shao Yuming felt very embarrassed. He hoped that other people would react, but everyone looked at Wang Hao and didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhang Hongxin was also embarrassed.

He even froze his expression, dropped the pen in his hand to the ground, and continued to remain motionless, as if he didn't know how to react for a while.

Everyone else was a little embarrassed too.

They thought about it carefully, just now Wang Hao did say that he proved the smoothness of the exact solution set of the NS equation under conventional application values, but no one believed it at all, or thought that what Wang Hao said was the proof on the blog.

Then they did calculations for two hours straight.

Now after listening to Shao Yuming's words, I know that Wang Hao has indeed proved it. In other words, they have all done useless work, and the two-hour calculation is meaningless at all.

This is because he didn't listen carefully to Wang Hao's words, and didn't believe what he said.

"But, it's okay!"

A lot of people don't seem to need embarrassment when they think about it.

When the meeting was going on, they didn't speak at all. Since they didn't speak, they hid their distrust in their hearts, and no one else would know.

So why be embarrassed?

The embarrassing ones should be those who refuted Wang Hao, that is, Shao Yuming and Zhang Hongxin, but they didn't say anything or do anything.

Ah Q's Spiritual Victory Law is in effect!

Others immediately surrounded Wang Hao, and someone was the first to say, "Congratulations, Professor Wang, you have completed another major mathematics research!"

When the first person spoke, the others breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder you said just now that you have a proof, we shouldn't waste time doing calculations here!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Professor Wang, congratulations, just won the Natural Science Award, and published results in top journals."

"You are really young and promising, a real math genius!"

Some people thought of Wang Hao's thesis, "Why don't we study Professor Wang's thesis together!"

"Anyway, it's not easy for everyone to get together."

"It makes sense!"

Someone has turned on the computer to search for the latest issue of "New Advances in Mathematics", but only the title can be seen on the Internet-"Smoothness of NS Equation Solutions under a Fixed Range of Values".

It is impossible to get the physical version now, and the content of the paper cannot be viewed at all.

But that's okay!

Wang Hao is here!

Someone stood up and continued, "Wang Hao, Academician Shao is right. Anyway, everyone has already gathered together. It's not easy. Let's study your paper."

Naturally, Wang Hao had nothing to do.

Anyway, the papers have already been published, so everyone can study them if they want to study them. He logged on to the website, downloaded his papers, and sent them to others.

At this time, the only embarrassing people were Zhang Hongxin and Shao Yuming.

Zhang Hongxin was the most embarrassing. He presided over a seminar on applied mathematics. The purpose was to study the NS equation, use the range of values ​​covered by the application field to continuously do calculations, and provide confidence in related application fields with a large number of calculations based on mathematics.

As a result, the theory has been proven, and the seminar naturally loses its meaning.

In addition, he felt even more embarrassed when he thought that Wang Hao said with certainty that he had proved the smoothness of the ns equation under conventional values.

Wang Hao made it very clear that he had indeed misunderstood.

Yes, misunderstanding!

Zhang Hongxin still walked over cheekily, "Professor Wang, I'm really sorry. I really misunderstood just now. I thought you were talking about the article on the Internet. I didn't expect you to prove it."

"Your genius has really exceeded my expectations..."

This sentence brought back the face.

Wang Hao felt very uncomfortable when he was refuted a few words just now, but after hearing what Zhang Hongxin had said, he really couldn't say anything more.

Zhang Hongxin also expressed the aspirations of everyone, and they all understood this way.

Once things were said and done, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Wu Hui also felt quite embarrassed, and now he finally understands why Wang Hao has been talking about the meeting since the morning, which is meaningless.

It turns out that people have already proved it!

"its not right!"

Wu Hui suddenly realized a problem, he reacted abruptly, and shouted in surprise, "Wang Hao! Have you proved the smoothness of the NS equation?"

This voice made everyone else look at it.

It's too late, but it's fast.

In fact, it has only been about two minutes since Shao Yuming walked in and announced the news. Many people have not turned around yet, and the embarrassment has just passed.

Now that they all reacted, a look of shock appeared on their faces.

Smoothness of NS equation solution?

Isn't that one of the seven math puzzles of the millennium?

Wang Hao explained, "It's just a part. The proof is a limited range of values, not all values. I haven't found a way to prove the infinite value."

"Even the range value is amazing, that's the NS equation!"

"Yeah, this should be the biggest breakthrough in recent decades, right? It must be Fields-level research!"

"I just realized that this is one of the Millennium Math Problems!"

"It is definitely the top achievement in the world!"

After the shock was over, they hurriedly studied Wang Hao's thesis together.

Just now some people felt that they came to the seminar and devoted themselves to the calculation for two hours. As a result, the underlying logic has been proven, and everything has become useless.

Now they all feel right!

Even if it is only the first time to see a paper that is destined to be valued by the international mathematics community, it is completely worth the trip.

...

This is indeed a hugely influential mathematical result.

After Wang Hao's paper was published, it immediately became the most concerned research in the current issue of "New Advances in Mathematics".

The Fields winner, a famous Austrian mathematician and one of the giants in the field of partial differential equations, Martin Haier, commented on the paper, "This proof has brought about substantial progress in the study of the smoothness of NS equations."

"At the same time, the research has laid the foundation for the application of NS equations, which is a great achievement!"

Great is not a word used casually.

Generally, it will only be used to evaluate the top international research that can promote the development of human science and technology.

This shows the influence of Wang Hao's research.

From the perspective of mathematical theory, Wang Hao has completed the proof of the smoothness of some NS equation solutions.

This part is only about one-third, and it may not even reach it, because the difference between the limited value and the infinite value is huge.

For example, there is almost no difference in mathematical logic between proving the value of 1~100 and proving the value of 1~10000.

Because compared to proving the value from negative infinity to positive infinity, the range covered by finite values ​​is too small and too small.

The two are not a concept at all.

However, from the perspective of applied mathematics, Wang Hao's research contribution is very large. His achievements make all applications in related fields no longer have to worry about the possible failure of the NS equation.

This is to allow theoretical research in mathematics to truly play a supporting role in applied mathematics.

Bruce Pulitzer believes that Wang Hao's research is the result of "half Fields", and his evaluation criteria are based on the contribution of mathematical theory.

However, the half-Fields results are much more meaningful to applied mathematics than most Fields-level results.

It's just that the Fields Medal pays more attention to the role of the research direction of mathematical theory than the promotion of the application field.

In any case, the influence of Wang Hao's research is very large.

The international mathematics community pays close attention to his papers, and scholars in the fields related to the application of NS equations also pay attention to his papers.

For the time being, the domestic media has not received any news, or the media that have noticed and reported it have not received much attention.

The domestic reports still revolve around Wang Hao's winning the first prize in natural science.

Wang Hao was only 26 years old when he won the first prize of natural science, becoming the youngest winner of the natural science award.

At the same time, he is also the youngest scholar in this Science and Technology Awards Conference, and the only scholar younger than 30 years old.

Some media reported on Wang Hao's previous research, while others gave a detailed introduction to him personally, which allowed many people to know more about Wang Hao.

'Wang Hao won the first prize in natural science', rushed to the sixth place in the Internet popularity in the morning.

But it's not the hottest.

There is an entry with the highest ranking and the third most popular entry, which is also directly related to Wang Hao. The popular keyword is a bit strange, it is 'mathematical analysis lottery ticket'.

'Mathematically analyzing the lottery'?

Many people saw this content, and after clicking in, it was a related interview report.

"If you can use mathematical methods to analyze the lottery results, buy the corresponding numbers, and win the jackpot, wouldn't you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

The comments below are naturally 'very fulfilling'.

"I really want to be able to do this, so that I don't have to go to work in the future, and I can become rich by analyzing lottery tickets every day."

"The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming! Professor Wang Hao, YYDS, hurry up and tell me the next winning number!"

"Begging for the lottery winning number!"

Many people even commented on Wang Hao's Weibo, hoping that he could help analyze the winning numbers of the next lottery.

In the same interview content, Wang Hao said another passage that also aroused heated discussions.

"When we buy lottery tickets, we assume that everything is based on luck, without human intervention?"

Someone immediately analyzed, "Is there any inside story about the connotation of the lottery draw?"

"It must be in the connotation!"

"It turned out that this was the reason why I couldn't win 5 million. The society is too dark!"

"..."

A lot of content on the Internet will always be misinterpreted by artificial expansion.

In fact, Wang Hao was only subconsciously developing mathematical thinking at that time, so he needed to rule out all possibilities of interference.

The human factor is naturally one of the possibilities.

Logic is 100% correct only when all interfering factors are ruled out.

However, after being analyzed in this way, it seemed that he had an inside story about the connotation lottery lottery draw, which also caused a boil in public opinion, and many people started conspiracy theories.

No one can tell whether there is a problem with the lottery draw.

However, after the in-depth analysis of Wang Hao's words, it is obvious that the heads of relevant agencies may have a headache for this.

...

The popularity of public opinion tends to decline rapidly over time.

It is difficult for a mathematician to be popular for a long time, even if he won the first prize in natural science, in fact, most people don't care about it, because geniuses are far away from their lives.

No one expected that the heat still existed in the afternoon, but the topic turned to Wang Hao's latest research results.

After a lot of media started to report, the heat naturally followed.

Some bloggers have also begun to explain the significance of Wang Hao's latest achievements. In addition, it is also the NS equation problem that proves part of the millennium math problem.

This topic continued to become popular following the topic in the morning.

Many people participated in the discussion.

Most people don't understand what NS equation is, but it doesn't affect their discussion about it, "Although I don't understand what it is, it's right to feel powerful."

"Professor Wang Hao's research is very powerful."

"Professor Wang Hao is really a master. He is only 26 years old. With so many achievements, he has already started to challenge top mathematical problems and has achieved certain results."

"In the future, I would like to call Professor Wang Hao 'God'!"

"God king?"

"God King!"

Wang Hao didn't even think that he had an extra title inexplicably, and it sounded like he couldn't bear it at all.

When he was eating in the cafeteria of the Capital University at noon, he was surrounded by many students. Fortunately, the students were still very qualified and did not come to disturb him. Most of them discussed in a low voice from a distance.

After returning to the hotel in the afternoon, it will be different. Many reporters are already waiting there, and they must take advantage of the heat to interview.

After Wang Hao briefly answered two questions, he found that the questions were asked one after another, and ran into the hotel when he found a free time.

The heat dropped a little the next day, but there were still reporters squatting in front of the hotel.

Wang Hao hurried away.

He bought a temporary ticket and flew back to Xihai City directly.

The feeling of being a mathematics star is not so good. The main thing is that Wang Hao is not making money with his personal image. He is not a real star, but a pure scholar.

Scholars do not need enthusiasm.

If you only accept interviews occasionally, it feels good to be on the news, but too many interviews will be a bit annoying.

This time Wang Hao went back by himself, because Zhu Peng would stay in the capital for a few more days.

After getting off the plane at Xihai Airport, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. After walking out of the airport, he saw the person who came to pick him up, who was specially sent by the school.

Wang Hao won the first-class natural science, and the popularity in the public opinion is uninterrupted. The school naturally attaches great importance to it. They even sent two security guards to help.

However, Wang Hao bought the ticket on a temporary basis, and the schedule was very sudden. There were still reporters waiting for the interview, but there were only two of them.

Wang Hao did not accept the interview, not because he was playing a big game, but because the other party was an entertainment reporter. If he were an academic reporter or a regular TV reporter, he would definitely have accepted the interview.

The school has already prepared the interview.

Wang Hao went back to rest for a while, and then accepted a formal interview the next day and won the first prize in natural science, which naturally attracted much attention.

Regardless of the issue of public opinion, there are also many reporters who want to interview Wang Hao.

The weight of the first prize in natural science is completely different from that of Chern Mathematics Prize.

On average, there is one winner of the Chern Mathematics Award every year, while there have been only three winners of the first prize in natural sciences in decades.

The significance of the two awards is also different.

The Chern Mathematics Award is only an award of the Mathematical Society, while the Natural Science Award is a national award, representing a huge contribution to national scientific research, and its affirmative nature is much greater than the award itself.

Xihai University also attaches great importance to it.

A special meeting was held within the school, and it was decided to make a special promotion for Wang Hao, from a fourth-level professor to a second-level professor.

This is no longer something that the school can decide unilaterally, but has to be reported to the province, and even to the national department.

Wang Hao won the first prize in natural science, and he was specially promoted to a second-level professor. Naturally, there is no problem.

In fact, this award is enough for a first-level professor, but Wang Hao is too young, and his teaching years are not enough.

It is very difficult to upgrade to the rank of full professor, and there are many regulations corresponding to the promotion of each level.

Teaching years is also one of them.

To put it bluntly, a professor is a kind of teaching position, and naturally there are requirements for teaching years. Being able to be specially promoted to a second-level professor is already quite remarkable.

As a full professor, each level is very difficult, even higher than the sum of all levels below the associate professor.

Many Ph.D. graduates from prestigious universities can serve as associate professors after entering a university, but if they want to be promoted from a fourth-level professor to a third-level professor, they may not be able to achieve it in their entire lives.

Not to mention, most of the second-level professors at the next level can't touch them at all.

A first-level professor is the highest level, and the lowest is also qualified to be an academician. Many of them have already been awarded academicians before they can be promoted to the first-level professor.

After Wang Hao returned to Xihai University, apart from being interviewed by some reporters, his life was still very leisurely.

It's the end of the semester again, and several courses are over.

He took it easy for a few days.

Then I went to the physics laboratory, because the new equipment and materials in the laboratory are already in place, and the experiments can already be started.

Wang Hao still attaches great importance to the projects in the physics laboratory.

When he left Capital University, Wu Hui also talked to him about the exchange of gravity research. The other two large laboratories have already started the first round of experiments, and even entered the second round of experiments, while the physics laboratory has not officially Start experimenting.

This time gap is about half a month or so.

"Normally, a dozen experiments like this can produce results." Wu Hui said with certainty, "No more than twenty experiments at most. A dozen experiments can provide a lot of data. "

"In terms of the efficiency of the superconducting laboratory, it is estimated that it can be completed in three months at the earliest, and no more than half a year at the latest."

These are Wu Hui's original words.

Wang Hao also felt a sense of urgency, knowing that the physics laboratory was ready, and he would come over to participate in the experimental research immediately.

Physics Laboratory, Director's Office.

He Yi was busy sorting out the materials and notifying everyone to prepare for the meeting. He asked Wang Hao, "Should we start today? But, the expert team from the Science Foundation is coming, why don't we entertain them?"

Wang Hao said indifferently, "What's the treat? They're just going through the motions, and our research is the most important thing."

The expert group of the Science Foundation is here to investigate.

In fact, what they sent was not a group of experts, but just a few people to visit the physics laboratory, record it, and go through the scene.

The project has been defaulted and will definitely be approved.

However, the rules are like this. Before reviewing large projects, the Science Foundation must send a team of experts.

Wang Hao was not in the mood to entertain people from the foundation, so he hurriedly called all the people from the laboratory over, organized a discussion meeting for everyone, and first demonstrated how to conduct experiments is the most important thing.

As for the Science Foundation, the appropriation speed is too slow, and it is said that the appropriation will be made after the next year. Who knows if the research will be completed by then?

Wang Hao didn't care at all.

When the expert group of the Science Foundation arrived at Xihai University, it was embarrassing to find that no one entertained them at all.

It was Zhu Jianhua who came to greet him, and there was no one in the physics laboratory.

"Although we're just going through the motions, this is too much." Someone in the expert group couldn't help complaining.

Nobody came to entertain the physics lab, but they had to go anyway.

Fan Qingxue is the person in charge of the expert team, and he is also the only superconducting expert among those who came.

In fact, because it was just sending people to go through the motions, the Science Foundation did not send any 'experts' at all, but only a few ordinary staff members, some of whom were not even majors in physics.

Fan Qingxue was specially designated by Wu Hui. He wanted Fan Qingxue to come and help the physics lab, give special advice on the experiments, and even stay to help, the purpose of which was to prevent the physics lab from 'losing too badly'.

The other two institutions that did not receive funding from the foundation completed their research quickly and efficiently, but the physics laboratory had no results to speak of. As a result, the foundation allocated funds to the physics laboratory, which is not very pleasant to say.

Even if it is a default project, at least it has to be seen.

Fan Qingxue complained a little to the fact that no one came to entertain the physics laboratory.

When I arrived at the physics laboratory and saw the lab was in a mess, the complaints in my heart were a little relieved, "They must have been too busy and forgot."

He thought so.

When I arrived at the physics laboratory, I was still entertained.

Zhang Feng was in charge of entertaining the experts, took them to visit the physics laboratory, and then introduced the preparations for the experiment.

Because of the experimental experience, the laboratory preparation is quite sufficient.

Fan Qingxue also had a bottom line in his heart, and he asked, "Are you all ready to start the experiment? It seems that the experiment is going to be carried out today?"

He was referring to the lab being busy.

"I don't know either." Zhang Feng shook his head, "It still depends on Professor Wang Hao."

As they were talking, they heard someone shout, "Zhang Feng, the meeting is about to start!"

"coming!"

Zhang Feng replied, looked apologetically at the members of the expert team, and then trotted to the conference room.

The members of the expert group simply went to the meeting room.

After entering the meeting room, Fan Qingxue finally saw Wang Hao. He wondered why he didn't see the person in charge just now. They were all in the meeting room, so he couldn't help but mutter, 'Are you avoiding us? '

Because the meeting had not officially started, Fan Qingxue greeted Wang Hao, then walked over and whispered, "Academician Wu asked me to help."

"Thanks!"

Wang Hao thought that the expert group was just here to go through the motions, but he didn't expect that there was a "person of his own" in it, and he suddenly became more enthusiastic, "We are too busy today, and we have to prepare to start the demonstration, and the experiment is also very difficult. I have to prepare, so I didn't take care of entertaining you, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, Professor Wang, let's listen to the meeting too, won't it interfere?"

"That's very welcome!"

Wang Hao warmly greeted several members of the expert team to sit beside him.

Before the meeting started, Fan Qingxue chatted with Wang Hao again, "Are you meeting to assign experimental work?"

"We are studying theory together." Wang Hao said.

"ah?"

Fan Qingxue was a little dazed when he heard this, and he subconsciously said, "What kind of theory is there to study? Direct experiments, just do experiments and compare the data."

"no."

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "The theoretical meeting must be held. We need to demonstrate how to conduct experiments with maximum efficiency, and strive to draw conclusions with the least number of experiments."

"..."

Fan Qingxue felt that the research method Wang Hao mentioned was out of his own knowledge, and he couldn't help thinking, "Is it because Professor Wang Hao is doing mathematics research?"

"That's right!"

"He doesn't know how to study physics, or how to study superconductivity. No wonder Academician Wu asked me to come!"

Fan Qingxue felt that he understood it completely, and he immediately said, "Professor Wang, Academician Wu asked me to help, so I just made a suggestion, and you all assigned the experimental work, and then directly carried out the experiment, continued to do experiments, and compared the data. results will be obtained.”

Wang Hao shook his head, "Professor Fan, as I said, we need to study the theory first."

He thought for a while and explained, "Let's put it this way, Professor Fan. Do you think it is possible for us to conduct research in a normal way, faster and more efficient than the superconducting laboratory?"

"this……"

Fan Qingxue really wanted to say "the possibility is zero", but he said it a little more implicitly, "It's a little bit possible."

"no way!"

Wang Hao said with certainty, "There is a big gap between us and the superconducting laboratory in terms of personnel, experience level, research and development funds, equipment, etc. Therefore, if we want to surpass them, we cannot use conventional methods."

Fan Qingxue thought it made sense, so he couldn't help but nodded.

Wang Hao continued, "That's why we have to do theoretical demonstrations, and we need to find the most efficient experimental method."

"Ah~~"

Fan Qingxue was a little dazed when he heard it, and he found that he couldn't refute it at all.

But a theoretical argument?

Is there any theoretical proof for the comparative experiment? Isn't this just a waste of time!

However, Fan Qingxue found that he had no way to refute. After all, what Wang Hao said was very reasonable, so he simply sat aside.

At the same time, I couldn't help thinking, "No wonder Academician Wu asked me to come, it's so unprofessional!"

"What theoretical argument is there..."

"And still don't listen to persuasion, don't listen to persuasion at all!"

"It seems that they still have to suffer a failure before they realize that any theoretical argument has no meaning at all!"

(seeking a monthly ticket)
