Great Country Academician

ps: I wish you all a happy new year, good health and all the best~ make a fortune in the Year of the Rabbit!

In the car, Lin Feng noticed Xu Chuan's abnormality through the rearview mirror, and asked casually, "What's the matter? Brother Chuan."

Xu Chuan withdrew his gaze from the window and said, "It's nothing, it's just an award."

"Oh, what award?"

Lin Feng didn't care, and then asked, with the achievements of this little junior, it's normal for him to win an award.

The mathematics, physics, and astronomy circles are basically waiting in line for the time to give him an award. It's just that the speed of this little junior's achievements is too fast, and the speed of awarding can't keep up with his scientific research speed.

Have you ever seen a scholar who can make contributions in the three major fields of mathematics, physics, and astronomy within a year?

Although these contributions are basically related to the Weyl-Berry conjecture, the speed can really shock people's jaws.

Xu Chuan grinned and said, "The Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy."

Lin Feng, who was driving, heard the answer, nodded subconsciously, and congratulated: "Congratulations, Brother Chuan, you actually got two prizes at once! Wait, what did you just say? You got two prizes!" What award?"

After reacting, Lin Feng subconsciously stepped on the brakes, the car stopped suddenly, and the three people in the car leaned forward. Only then did he regain his senses, quickly control the car, and then park it on the side of the road.

Thanks to the fact that this is on the highway in the United States, or on the way out of the city, the traffic flow is not high.

If it were in China, if the brakes were suddenly applied, the car behind would probably come up directly.

After controlling the car, Lin Feng quickly parked it on the side of the road, then turned his head and swallowed, stared at Xu Chuan and asked repeatedly: "Junior brother, what did you just say? What two awards did you win?"

"Crafford Prize in Mathematics and Crafford Prize in Astronomy."

Xu Chuan repeated it, and Lin Feng was greeted with suspicion and disbelief, even Nunnally Kessler in the co-pilot gave him a puzzled look.

"You said you won this year's Craford Prize in Mathematics and Craford Prize in Astronomy?" Lin Feng stared at Xu Chuan suspiciously.

Xu Chuan nodded calmly.

"You really didn't lie to me?"

"There's nothing to lie about. The one who called me just now is from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

Xu Chuan laughed dumbfounded, and shook his head. The news was indeed quite surprising. He couldn't believe it at first, and it was normal for Senior Brother Lin Feng to have such a reaction.

"Xu, can the Crawford Awards be awarded to the same person at the same time?"

There was silence in the car for a while, but it was Nunnally Kessler who broke the silence.

"Impossible. The Crawford Award has never awarded two different awards to the same person in the same year. Junior brother, you may have received a scam call, right?"

Lin Feng shook his head and suddenly denied it.

The Crawford Prize, known as the Little Nobel Prize.

Judging from the number of winners, it is even harder to get the Crawford Prize than to get the Nobel Prize.

At least, for the three Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, and medicine, there are basically two or three people in each discipline in most years.

And what about the Crawford Award?

Although it also has five major disciplines in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, biological sciences, earth sciences and polyarthritis, it only awards one discipline each year.

And most of the time, there is only one winner in a subject.

You tell him now that this year's mathematics and astronomy prizes were awarded to the same person at the same time, is it possible?

Totally impossible! There has never been anything like it in history. So Lin Feng would rather believe that this is a scam call.

Xu Chuan shrugged and said, "Then what is this liar trying to do to me?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng was stunned.

Yes, if it is a scam call, what is the scammer trying to do?

After thinking about it, Lin Feng tilted his head and asked, "Tricked you to go abroad to receive the award, and then kidnapped you?"

"Pfft~"

Xu Chuan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Brother Lin, this is the Craford Award. After I receive the call here, Sweden will officially announce it in two days."

"If it's a scam call, I'll expose it within two days, and it's not like I'm going to accept the prize now."

"That's right."

Lin Feng responded blankly, then reacted, and asked excitedly: "In other words, you really broke the historical record this time and won the Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy at the same time?"

"If the caller has no problem, it should be." Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied, "Whether it's true or not, I should know in two days."

"After all, according to the tradition, the Crawford Prize, like the Nobel Prize, calls the winners one week before the announcement."

"Yes, then wait a few more days."

Lin Feng nodded, restarted the car and headed towards Princeton.

The news of winning the Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy at the same time is really amazing. I am afraid that anyone will have skeptical reservations before the official official announcement. Including Xu Chuan who had already received the call.

After returning to Princeton from Geneva, Xu Chuan put down his luggage and immediately went to Professor Deligne's office to visit his tutor.

After all, it was agreed that he would only go for about a month before returning, but it turned out that he was lucky and spent almost four months at CERN.

But Deligne didn't care about this at all. On the contrary, he was very interested in how Xu Chuan applied mathematics to physics to calculate the energy level channel of the coupling phenomenon between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yukawa.

He's been working on this all this time.

This may have something to do with Xu Chuan showing the calculation data of the mystery of the proton radius to the old professor some time ago.

There are also some skills in the integration of mathematics and physics. Later, Witten taught the old professor some physics knowledge, which may have stimulated his interest in mathematical physics.

Mathematics is such a special subject that everything is basically inseparable from mathematics.

But cutting-edge mathematics is too far away from ordinary science, and it is basically a state of enclosure and self-play.

Xu Chuan brought some new ideas to Professor Deligne by combining ideas and techniques of mathematics and physics. It also made him feel a little old.

After all, he is over seventy years old, and he is no longer the kind of young man who can study for a few days and nights on a certain math problem, nor does he have the energy.

With his current age and experience, it is already difficult to learn a new subject and then integrate it with mathematics.

However, he taught Xu Chuan some of his thoughts, hoping that he could expand on this road instead of himself.

Fortunately for Deligne, he has accepted a good student, who is still young and has enough ability to try to expand.

I can walk down this road instead of him, to see whether the end is an unknown ocean or a solid wall.

After gaining some new knowledge from Professor Deligne, Xu Chuan returned to the campus with great concentration.

After adjusting the two-day jet lag in Princeton, he successfully regained the feeling of studying on campus. Start attending classes every day and learn mathematics from Professor Deligne.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

This afternoon, when Xu Chuan was studying mathematics with Professor Deligne in the office of Professor Deligne, a call came to his cell phone.

After giving the mentor a sorry look, Xu Chuan connected the phone.

As soon as it was connected, there was a 'noisy' voice from the opposite side.

"Fuck, Junior Brother Chuan, have you read the news reports? You really won the Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy at the same time! That's awesome, broke the historical record, the first person in history!!! "

Machine gun-like words quickly protruded from the phone, and the deafening voice made Xu Chuan couldn't help turning the phone away from his ears, but he also knew that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners of the Crafford Prize today.

It wasn't some fake phone call to him before. He really won the Craford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy at the same time.

After exchanging a few words with Senior Brother Lin, Xu Chuan quickly hung up the phone and opened the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences with his mobile phone. Sure enough, the list of this year's Crafford Awards was officially announced.

In the blank form, the winner of the two award disciplines has his name written.

【Xu Chuan~】

Seeing this familiar name, Xu Chuan felt at ease.

After all, this is the Crawford Award. This kind of world-class award, the mathematics award and astronomy award will be awarded to the same person in the same year, which can be said to be the first time in history.

Not to mention that senior brother Lin Feng was so surprised and suspicious at first, even he himself was full of doubts at first.

But now, the doubts in my heart dissipated, leaving only joy.

After staring at the list of winners on the phone for a long time, Xu Chuan raised his head and let out a long sigh of relief, calming down his beating heart, but there was still a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.

In the office, Professor Deligne cast a slightly puzzled look.

With such a calm personality of this disciple, it is really rare to be so happy.

Noticing the tutor's gaze, Xu Chuan grinned and shared his joy: "Teacher, I won this year's Craford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy."

Hearing this, Deligne was stunned for a moment, and asked with some hesitation: "The Craford Prize for Mathematics and Astronomy?"

"Well, I got it at the same time." Xu Chuan nodded vigorously.

"This is really surprising. I didn't expect the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to make such a bold decision."

Deligne was stunned for a while before recovering from the news.

"I was nearly forty-five years old when I won the Crawford Award. Even Tao Terence was thirty-six years old. You have pushed the record forward by nearly twenty years."

After sighing, Professor Deligne smiled and congratulated Xu Chuan: "Congratulations, you have created a historical record."

"It didn't happen before, and it is estimated that no one will be able to break your record in the future."

The winner of the Crawford Award, who is less than nineteen years old, was awarded both the Craford Award for Mathematics and Astronomy, so it is even more difficult for someone to break the record. This world record may not be broken for at least a hundred years in the future.

And judging from the present, he is destined to have a share of the Fields Medal in 2018.

It's time to make history again.

Looking at the student in front of him, Deligne was a little emotional.

Even though mathematics is gradually becoming younger, young mathematicians such as Terence Tao and Schultz have opened up a new sky, and it is not as exaggerated as the student in front of him.

If it is simply to prove the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and this is the only achievement, the jury of the Fields Medal may also consider whether to postpone it for another four years.

But Xu Chuan not only proved the Weyl-Berry conjecture, but also extended it to the field of astrophysics, and established a series of mathematical methods relying on the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem. The importance has increased a lot at once.

After all, although mathematics is hailed as the basis of science, it is only a tool after all.

As a tool, how to play a role in mathematics or other subjects is the greatest value that a tool can embody.

The selection principles of the Fields Medal also attach great importance to this point.

So it can be said that Schultz and Xu Chuan have been pre-booked for the 2018 Fields Medal.

The former created the p-adic perfect space theory, and used this theory to make a major breakthrough in the famous Langlands program in mathematics.

The latter proves the Weyl-Berry conjecture, which is a world-class problem, and relies on the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to establish a series of mathematical methods for calculating celestial body parameter information, which has influenced the entire astronomical community in one fell swoop.

Thousands of miles away, China.

When the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the Crafford Award, it was Xu Chuan's alma mater, Nantah University, who immediately reacted to it, neither Yang Ma nor major news media.

After receiving the news, Nantah immediately put up banners at the school gate and on the campus.

[Congratulations to Xu Chuan, a 16th grade doctoral student of our school, for winning the Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy! 】

The huge banner was hung not only at the school gate, but also in front of the teaching building where Xu Chuan used to attend classes, for fear that the students of Nantah University would not see it.

The school leaders of Nantah University were excited, excited, and the face of the principal Liu Gaojun was full of smiles. Xu Chuan was recruited by him himself.

The Crawford Award, the Nobel Prize, has never been won by a Chinese.

Not only did I get it this time, but I also got two of them.

If Xu Chuan was not still studying at Princeton, the leaders of Nantah University would like to drag him onto the stage now, hold two lectures, and invite all the coquettish sluts from Shuimu, Peking University, and Sun Moon University to come and have a look.

The Department of Mathematics of Nantah University can also produce top talents!

Following Nantah University's actions, the media reacted quickly, and rushed out the press release on the same day, jumping in line and posting it on the Internet media.

As for the news that night, it took two or three minutes to temporarily broadcast the news, and made some brief introductions to Xu Chuan.

Of course, it's not that they don't want to be more formal, but because the incident happened suddenly, and the winner of the award is not in China, so they haven't interviewed him yet, so they just chose to broadcast it temporarily.

However, the reporters and related personnel of the main station in Milan have already bought air tickets to Princeton.
