Great Country Academician

With the broadcast of the news broadcast, although it was only a brief episode of more than ten seconds, the popularity of Xu Chuan winning the Craford Award is still rising violently and rapidly. It is no longer limited to the Internet, and directly breaks the circle. The people know it.

Star City, No. 1 Middle School.

Several little girls walked together, looking at the newly-hanging banner in front of the teaching building, one of them poked the best friend next to him.

"Xiaoxiao, I remember your brother's name is Xu Chuan, right? Your brother seems to have won an award again. Last time it was the Morning Star Mathematics Award. This time it is the Craford Award?"

"But what kind of award is this? Xiaoxiao, do you know?"

With her ponytail tied up, Xu Xiao nodded proudly while staring at the banner hanging on the teaching building, then shook her head again, the ponytail swaying slightly behind her head.

She doesn't know what the Crawford Award is, but it must be famous for hanging banners in the school!

With such an excellent brother as her life goal, she still needs to work harder to catch up with him and surpass him!

Shonan, County Y, in Xujia Village.

A group of folks were sitting on the ground in front of Xu Chuan's house, chatting and chatting.

Since Xu Chuan paid for the repair of hydraulic facilities such as ponds, dams, and ditches in the village, people in the village began to like to come to his house to sit and relax.

Although the folks in the village are simple and honest, where there are people, there will be society after all.

There are exchanges between people, there are exchanges and exchanges, poor in the downtown area, no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives, this is nothing more than normal.

"Jianguo, your new house will be repaired soon, when will the housewarming party be held?"

On the brand-new concrete floor, several villagers chatted in the shade.

Father Xu chuckled and tossed a cigarette over, and distributed another to several other people around him, saying, "Not yet, the walled yard has not been finished yet, it will take a month, let's talk about it when it's finished."

"Will Chuanzi come back by then?" The middle-aged man took the cigarette and asked happily, taking a puff.

"I don't know, I haven't called him yet, but he's studying abroad, so he probably won't be able to come back." Father Xu lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said with some miss.

A couple of sons and daughters have gone out to study now, they are far away from their hometown, and they rarely come back several times a year. Although this is a good thing and the sons and daughters become talented, there are only two people in the family after all, and it would be a lie to say that they are deserted and miss them.

"It's the first one in the village to study abroad. It's a pity that Chuanzi didn't choose Mizuki and Peking University."

Another middle-aged man next to him interrupted, with a regretful tone.

But in rural areas, this is quite normal.

After all, these two colleges and universities in Northern Qing Dynasty are so famous. If a younger generation is admitted to these two colleges, the ancestral graves will have to be refurbished, and the family tree will have to be rewritten.

"Qiu Liang, you are wrong, Nantah University is not bad, and Chuanzi was accepted as a student by a national academician when he went to university, academician, academician, do you know that the country's top scientists are the ones who receive state subsidies. "

"He knows a P, but he hasn't finished his elementary school, he doesn't know a few big characters, and he doesn't know where the university gate opens."

Another villager retorted with a smile, that's all the chatter in the village and the countryside.

Several people were chatting and gossiping, and suddenly, shouts came from the cement road not far away.

"Jianguo, good news for Jianguo!"

Hearing the shout, Xu Jianguo got up quickly, and it was Xu Hongtu, the head of Xujia Village, who quickly walked towards him.

"Hongtu, what's the matter?" Father Xu asked, handing him a cigarette.

"Tomorrow, there will be leaders from the city coming to your house tomorrow. I heard there will be an interview!" Xu Hongtu said with a smile on his cigarette.

Xu's father was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why is the good-looking city leader coming over?"

"You didn't watch the news when you saw it, so you don't know! Your son won the award, it seems to be some kind of Nobel Prize. Anyway, it is a big award, the kind that is famous all over the world, and it was reported on TV!"

Xu Hongtu lit his cigarette, took a comfortable puff and said.

"It was reported on TV? When was it reported? Which channel?" Hearing the news about Xu Chuan, Xu's father asked quickly.

"One set, what else can I have? I only read one set. I was still eating at noon, so I saw this news."

"At first I thought it was the same name, but there were photos of him. I saw this, isn't this your kid? And before we finished the meal, the county called."

"It is said that your son won the award yesterday, and some leaders in the city came to express their condolences. Why don't I hurry up and inform you!"

Hearing this, Xu's father walked into the room immediately, wanting to turn on the TV to watch, but then stopped again. It was already too late to watch it, and it must not be replayed after it has been reported.

After thinking about it, Father Xu took out his cell phone and called Xu Chuan.

After a few rings, the phone was connected, and a familiar voice rang out.

"Hello, Dad."

"Son, I heard from your Uncle Hongtu, what Nobel Prize did you win?" Father Xu asked on the phone.

On the other side, Xu Chuan was stunned when he heard the Nobel Prize, and then he reacted and said with a smile: "Dad, how do you know?"

"You kid, you're already on the TV news, why don't you tell us a word?"

Xu's father complained that he didn't call for such a big matter, they all missed the news reports, it would be nice if they could watch it on TV.

"Haha, it's really nothing." Xu Chuan laughed and explained the matter roughly.

On the other end of the phone, Father Xu listened to Xu Chuan's voice, nodding and answering.

In fact, he could no longer understand what his son was saying, but as long as there was a voice from the other end of the phone, he would feel at ease.

After chatting with his father for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone, shook his head with a smile, and turned to study.

It is indeed a joy to receive the Craford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy at the same time by accident.

This not only makes up for the regrets of his previous life, but also shows that his mathematical ability has improved to a higher level.

But the joy is hidden in the heart, like a pot of good wine, which makes people aftertaste and spurs people forward.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-December.

The invitation letter for the Crafford Award Ceremony of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had already been mailed. After taking another leave with his tutor, Xu Chuan took a plane to Europe.

The huge Airbus A380 crossed the blue sky and flew towards Sweden. After several hours of flight, the white plane slowly landed in Stockholm.

Dragging his luggage and passing through the crowd, Xu Chuan walked out of the airport, hailed a taxi and went to the Stockholm Grand Hotel.

The Grand Hotel Stockholm is a hotel dedicated to the award ceremony of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. The hotel is located in an excellent location on the Stockholm seaside, overlooking the Swedish Royal Palace and the old town.

Although it is two kilometers away from the city hall where the awards are presented, it is less than 500 meters away from the Nobel Museum.

Because of its unique location and unique culture, it has been a venue for major events since the 19th century, and the hotels where previous Nobel Prize winners stayed before the awards were all arranged here.

Xu Chuan handed the invitation letter in his hand to the front desk of the hotel, who was in charge of serving a young and beautiful young lady with a western style.

She took a look at the invitation letter, and then scanned it with the instrument to confirm it. After confirming that it was correct, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her professionalism made her show a standard smile.

"Mr. Xu Chuan, hello, welcome to the Stockholm Grand Hotel to attend this year's Craford Awards Ceremony. Your room is in 1001. This is the room card, please keep it."

"If you have any needs, please feel free to ask us, we will do our best to meet you."

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you."

After receiving the room card, Xu Chuan just turned around when he found two people standing not far behind him.

"Welcome, Mr. Xu Chuan!"

Seeing Xu Chuan turn around, the man in a gray suit and glasses on the left, full of aristocratic air, quickly walked up to him and gave Xu Chuan a warm hug.

"Secretary Staffan, it's nice to meet you."

Xu Chuan naturally knew this old man.

Staffan Normark, the permanent secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Sweden, all the Nobel Prize award calls and receptions for the award ceremony are handled by this old man.

"Congratulations, the youngest Crawford Award winner ever, you are younger than you look in the photo."

Secretary-General Staffan looked at Xu Chuan with a smile, and took a look at this young scholar who won the Crawford Award when he was less than nineteen years old.

Xu Chuan said modestly: "Thank you, it is my honor to receive the Crawford Award."

After chatting with Xu Chuan for a while, Staffan Normark said with a smile: "The awards ceremony will start at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Stockholm City Hall, and a special car will come to pick you up."

"If you need anything, please feel free to tell the hotel staff, they will try their best to accommodate you, and if you have any special requirements, they will tell me."

"I'll leave you alone, I hope you have a nice few days in Stockholm."

Secretary-General Staffan Normark did not stay for long. He greeted Xu Chuan, told him some things to pay attention to, and then left.

After all, he had to prepare a lot of other work.

Dragging his luggage, Xu Chuan took the elevator to room 1001.

There are some ancient handicrafts in the room, which makes it full of historical and cultural atmosphere, antique, like stepping into the 19th century.

This is not a presidential suite, but it is not open to the public. At least dozens of winners of top universities such as the Nobel Prize and Craford Award have lived in this room.

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Chuan arrived at the Stockholm City Hall in a special car arranged by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In the elegant auditorium, Xu Chuan is sitting in the first row, on the left is Ms. Barbara Cannon, President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on the right, and on the right is King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

After a brief opening speech, Ms. Barbara Cannon, President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, walked onto the stage.

There was no speech, nor too much seriousness. The dean of the Royal Academy of Sciences cast his eyes on Xu Chuan who was sitting in the front row, with a bright smile on his face, and then slowly said:

"Today is a very special and memorable day. Here, we will celebrate the presentation of this year's Craford Prize in Mathematics and Craford Prize in Astronomy."

After a pause, Barbara Cannon continued: "To be honest, the news I'm going to announce next is very surprising and shocking."

"This year, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences made a bold decision to award the Crafford Prize in Mathematics and the Crafford Prize in Astronomy to the same person in the same year."

"This is an unprecedented event in history, and it also breaks the usual rules, but compared with the contributions made by the winners, I believe everyone and every scholar will admire them."

"Whether it is mathematics or astronomy, he has made great achievements and promoted the development of the two disciplines."

Pausing again, Ms. Barbara Cannon took a deep breath, and continued:

"For the great contribution made on the Weyl-Berry conjecture, and the actuarial calculation method of celestial body parameters completed by using the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, and the completion of the observation of celestial body information in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse."

"Xu Chuan from Huaguo will receive this year's Craford Prize in Mathematics and the Craford Prize in Astronomy!"

"Please invite this young and great scholar!"

After the words fell, deafening applause erupted in the auditorium.

Although the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences had officially announced the news as early as early November, it was still exciting when Barbara Cannon said the news herself at the award ceremony.

Amidst the fierce applause, Xu Chuan stood up, walked up to the awarding platform steadily and quickly, stood in the center of the stage, and looked at the audience with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the unceasing applause surged like a tide again.

This is the blessing and applause from hundreds of scholars of different skin colors and nationalities, as well as hundreds of invited guests from various fields and identities, for his contribution to the world.

The Huaguo scholars who were specially invited to attend the award ceremony were even redder and their hands were swollen.

Since the establishment of the Crawford Award in 1980, until 2016 this year, for 36 years, this is the first scholar of Chinese nationality to stand here.

And he won the record-setting double Crawford Award.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu Chuan!"

On the stage, the Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf, who was sitting next to Xu Chuan, also came up, took two golden medals from two staff members, put them on, and presented them to him Two red certificates.

"Thank you~"

After Xu Chuan responded with a smile, he bowed slightly so that the old man in front of him could put on the medal for him, and then hugged King Gustav warmly with the certificate in his arms. Immediately, the two stood side by side, facing the Guests in the auditorium.

In the auditorium, the applause sounded again.

A large number of media reporters kept pressing the shutter to keep this scene forever.

And the cameraman from CTV in Huaguo couldn't wait to keep the flash on eighteen times a second.
