Great Country Academician

Chapter 233 The Nobel Prize in Mathematics

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, a group of people coaxed Xu Chuan to treat him out for supper to celebrate.

Xu Chuan agreed with a smile, and winning the Nobel Prize is a great joy for anyone.

Not to mention a supper, even a month's supper is nothing.

But before that, he had to call home.

He doesn't know about others, but he knows about his parents and sister. Even though it's late at night, they must still be waiting for his call.

Holding the mobile phone, Xu Chuan found the familiar number from the address book and dialed it.

The bell rang for several seconds before the call was connected.

"Hello, Chuan'er." On the other end, a familiar voice came from the phone, with excitement and trembling in the voice.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Dad, I haven't slept yet."

"Everyone in the village is celebrating at home. Where are you going to sleep? What are you doing today? You won't be able to get through the phone after you won the award. People are calling home."

Speaking of what happened today, Father Xu's face was flushed with excitement. There is both the head after drinking a little wine, but also excitement and pride.

Although he has not read any books and his education is only a junior high school graduate, he also knows about the Nobel Prize.

This is the most famous award in the world. I didn't expect that the Xu family could produce such a great mathematician!

No, it should be said to be a great physicist, no, no, it should be said to be a great scientist.

Xu's father remembered that someone told him in the evening that the Nobel Prize does not seem to have a mathematics award, but Xu Chuan won a physics award.

It's just that in his memory, his son was studying mathematics, and he couldn't figure out how he won the physics prize.

But whatever.

The Nobel Prize, any one of them is the glory of honoring the ancestors and smoking from the ancestral graves.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I was doing research in the laboratory today, and my phone was muted, so I didn't receive a call. I just found out about this news."

On the other end, Father Xu was silent for a moment, and then he said with concern: "Don't work so hard, you have become a great scientist now, you must pay attention to your health, you are still young, and there is still a long time to do research in the future. In a hurry."

Hearing what Xu Chuan said, Father Xu knew in his heart that his son must have spent another whole day in the laboratory.

He has such a personality, when he is serious about doing things, he will not rest unless others call him.

It was when he was studying before, but it was okay at that time, and the pressure of studying was not great for him.

After the meeting came out, Father Xu always felt that his son was suppressing something in his heart. He called him several times and was busy.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Well, I know, don't worry."

Before he finished speaking, another loud and rough voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is it Chuanzi? When will the great scientist come back? The village is waiting for your wedding candy."""

Hearing this voice, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smiled, and replied loudly, "Uncle Yimin is here too."

"Then it must be here. A great scientist has emerged in the village. Why don't we celebrate it?" Han Yimin laughed and came to Xu Chuan's side, chatting with Xu Chuan.

What happened in Xujiacun is just a microcosm.

Xu Chuan won the Nobel Prize, and the glory is not his alone.

In Nanjing University, on the afternoon of the day when the list of winners was announced, a big red banner was pulled up right above the school gate, and the words on it were written with the glory of the school.

[Warmly congratulate our school’s 2016 graduate and our school’s professor ‘Xu Chuan’ on winning the Nobel Prize in Physics! 】

On the banner, Xu Chuan's name was specially marked.

For NTU, this name brings them too much glory.

Crawford Prize, Seven Millennium Problems, Fields Medal, Nobel Prize.

Each one is an epic glory.

Especially in the domestic academic environment, the significance is even more extraordinary.

More importantly, these brilliance were never obtained by Mizuki and Peking University. Every time, they were blatantly showing off.

Nantah University, once the No. 1 college in Asia, seems to be regaining its glory. How can this not make the people of Nantah University happy and proud.

On the other side, Star City.

The school gate of Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School also hung a gorgeous banner in the most conspicuous place.

If a school can produce a Nobel Prize winner, there is no doubt that this school must be successful.

What's more, this is the first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal double winner in history, and it is also the youngest winner.

As one of the four famous schools in Star City, No. 1 Middle School, which has been overwhelmed by Changjun Yali for a long time, once again proudly flaunted it today.

them! It has produced a Fields Medal winner and a Nobel Prize winner. This is a great achievement no matter how many Qingbei students come out.

Especially for old Tang Tang Gaoyuan.

When he heard the news, after a short period of confusion, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

This kid, I really didn't expect it.

When I first learned physics, I jumped to mathematics. I also solved various problems and won the Fields Medal.

Unexpectedly, I won the Nobel Prize in Physics after learning mathematics now.

But it really fits his style, no matter what field he is in, he has the most outstanding and top talent.

Some people are happy, and some people are naturally unhappy.

In the capital, Sun Heng, who had already returned from the high-speed rail, heard a ringing call.

Taking out the phone from his pocket, Sun Heng glanced at the incoming call, it was his friend.

As soon as the phone was connected, there was an envious voice over there.

"Old Sun, you have developed this time! Last time I heard that you joined Professor Xu Chuan's project. Today, Professor Xu won the Nobel Prize, the first double winner of the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize in history. , Tsk tsk, you actually entered the project of such a top boss."

Before Sun Heng could speak, a series of words came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing his friend's envious words, Sun Heng was taken aback for a moment, his heart was shocked, and he quickly asked: "That boy Xu Chuan cough, Professor Xu won the Nobel Prize?"

On the other side, when he heard Sun Heng's words, his friend was stunned for a moment, and his attitude was a little subtle: "You don't know, do you?"

"Yesterday was the time when the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced. Professor Xu and another American won this year's Physics Prize."

"Also, Old Sun, you should treat Professor Xu with a better attitude. It's best to change your address. Don't look at him as young, but he is a real top bull."

"The first winner of the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal in history. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the first person in the academic world. You may be dismissed for your attitude."

Before the friend on the other side finished speaking, Sun Heng interrupted, and then quickly hung up the phone, his face a little blushing.

He has already been fired.

However, what he couldn't figure out was why the Nobel Prize was awarded to such a young man.

Are the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences out of their minds? Isn't the average age of Nobel Prize winners over sixty years old?

Why can a 21-year-old youth win the award?

Sun Heng's breathing was very short. Others envied him for being able to enter the Nobel Prize winner's program, but only he knew that he didn't get in at all.

He also had the opportunity to join the nuclear energy project, but because he didn't pay attention to it, or felt that he was not afraid of being related, he finally missed this opportunity.

Working under a Nobel laureate was an opportunity that no one else could have dreamed of, but he missed it.

In an instant, Sun Heng seemed to remember something, and his face turned pale instantly.

His mentor once explained to him, saying that this opportunity is rare, and let him pay attention to some words.

He didn't care about it at the time, thinking that this was just a golden opportunity that his mentor got for himself.

After all, in Huaguo, a country that ranks seniority based on seniority, those deep-rooted thoughts made him feel that that young man was nothing.

Even if the other party won the Fields Medal, he was only in his twenties after all. This is an age when his hair is not fully grown. It is really difficult for him to take it seriously.

But he forgot, forgot that the other party directly mastered a national key project as soon as he returned to China.

What this means is naturally self-evident.

Thinking back on these things, Sun Heng suddenly felt a little apprehensive and glad that he had narrowly escaped death.

He was very glad that although he looked down on that person in his heart at the beginning, and was very angry that he did not pass the exam to join the project team, but he was glad that he did not conflict with the other party in that assessment.

If you rely on your own relationship and quarrel with the other party, it may be difficult to say today.

At that time, there is no need for him to act personally, and I am afraid that someone will take the initiative to send a good intention.

After all, this is in China. He had climbed to this point by relying on his relationship at the beginning. Naturally, some people would want to take the opportunity to get involved with that person.

On the other hand, Xu Chuan didn't think that much at all.

After making a phone call with his parents, he called his younger sister Xu Xiao again, granted her a wish, and promised to take her to the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, then he hung up the phone with a smile and put it away. cell phone.

As for the others, it's late at night now, just come back tomorrow to reply to the message.

But just as the phone was in his pocket, the phone rang again.

This time the call was from Princeton, and it was Fefferman, the dean of Princeton's Department of Mathematics, who called him.

When Fefferman called, Xu Chuan still couldn't miss it, and answered the call with a smile.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu Chuan."

Fefferman's voice came from the phone, congratulating with a smile.

Even in Princeton, winning a Nobel Prize is an extremely honorable thing.

As of today, Princeton University has produced a total of twenty-five, no, it should be twenty-six Nobel Prize winners.

Of course, if Princeton's history alumni, professors and researchers are included, that number rises to sixty-eight.

In addition, there are fifteen Fields Medal winners. Adding the two together, there are nearly a hundred outstanding alumni in total.

But Xu Chuan was the first to win both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize.

More importantly, this is not only the first winner of both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize in history, but also broke the record of the youngest winner of the double award in history.

At the age of 21, he won the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize at the same time. It is estimated that no one will be able to touch this brilliant achievement in the next hundred years.

Xu Chuan replied with a smile: "Thank you, I am also very happy."

On the opposite side, Fefferman joked with a smile: "Do you know? In the outside world, what do mathematicians call your award?"

"What?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.

"Nobel Prize in Mathematics!" Fefferman replied with a smile.

"Ah..." Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nobel doesn't have a mathematics prize."

It is a well-known fact that there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize.

A popular rumor in the market is that Nobel once had an enmity with the Swedish mathematics master Mita Leeffler due to personal relationship issues, so there is no mathematics award.

What's more interesting is that Fields, who proposed the establishment of a mathematics medal in the future, had a deep friendship with the master Mita-Leeffler.

Therefore, the establishment of the Fields Medal is often interpreted as Fields venting his anger on Mita Leeffler.

Of course, these are just some folklore stories, and there is no evidence that there is any grievance between Nobel and Mita-Leeffler.

In fact, as a leader in the Swedish scientific community, Mita Leeffler actively participated in the work related to the Nobel Prize. Under his strong recommendation, the Nobel Prize won the first award-winning theoretical physicist - Lorenz, and the first award-winning woman - Marie Curie.

However, it is a fact that the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics award, and it is also a pity for the majority of mathematicians.

Fefferman shrugged and said: "Of course we know, but you are the first one to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for your achievements in the field of pure mathematics."

"You have to know that although the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem is used in astrophysics calculations, it is a purely mathematical tool, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned again, and said with a strange expression: "No wonder Professor Stavanomak, Secretary-General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, asked me to change the name of 'Extended Application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry Theorem' , saying it sounds a little too mathematical."

Fefferman laughed and said: "Hahaha, if I were you, I would ignore them, and let mathematics take root in the Nobel Prize in Physics from now on."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I didn't pay much attention to this achievement before, and I never thought about naming it, but after winning the Nobel Prize, it still needs a name of its own."

Fefferman said with a smile: "It's up to you, but in the eyes of the mathematics community, this is a mathematician who won the Nobel Prize, and your name can't change their minds."

After a pause, Fefferman then asked: "By the way, do you still have research on the NS equation?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while, and said, "I have some ideas, but I don't have time to study them for now. I have some other projects in hand now."

Hearing this, Fefferman regretted: "It seems that you probably won't be returning to Princeton. It's a pity. There is still a celebration party for you here."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."
