Great Country Academician

Seeing Xu Chuan, the old man standing in C came over with a smile and stretched out his right hand.

"Student Xu Chuan, congratulations."

Xu Chuan shook hands politely, and the media photographer who was selected to come in clicked and kept the picture.

On the side, Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of the Numerous Academy, explained with a smile, "This is our Mayor Jiang from Jinling."

Suddenly, Xu Chuan greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Mayor Jiang."

Mr. Jiang smiled kindly, and said, "You don't need to be so polite, student Xu Chuan, I heard that you caught a cold two days ago while studying scientific problems. Are you feeling better now?"

"It's all right now, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Chuan was a little ashamed. He didn't expect that he would alarm the mayor when he caught a cold.

"That's good, that's good. Scientific research is important, but the body of a scientist is more important. You must always pay attention to your body. The future belongs to you young people. The development of the country also depends on you. You must pay attention to your health. "

Elder Jiang patted Xu Chuan on the shoulder, and continued, "Also, on behalf of Jinling City, I would like to thank you for your contribution."

Xu Chuan said modestly, "I just proved a math problem."

"Haha, student Xu is humble. This is a problem that has plagued the mathematics community for nearly forty years. You have won a dazzling honor for Nanjing University and Jinling all over the world."

Mr. Jiang smiled and praised a few words, and continued: "Adhering to education as the foundation, compiling the song of rejuvenating the country with talents, and rejuvenating the country through science and education are not only our country's strategic policy, but also the focus of our education work in Jinling City."

"Considering the situation of classmate Xu's family, we held an emergency meeting in the city to customize a material reward. After all, no matter how hard it is, you can't suffer students, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in scientific research."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's hard to trouble Mayor Jiang and the leaders."

Although he is not so short of money now, who would not like it if he has money, and from what he means, the reward this time is probably not small.

Mr. Jiang laughed, and said, "What is this? It's you front-line scientific researchers who are really hard and troublesome. We just did what we should do."

He and the leaders from the city boasted a few words to each other. Under the witness of CCTV, Mr. Jiang personally handed over a huge KT check sample of 500,000 to Xu Chuan. After taking a group photo, the leaders of the city left So, leaving him alone to be interviewed by CCTV.

After all, we are all busy people, and we don't have much time to waste. It is enough to show up in front of the media, show that the country and Jinling City attach importance to scientific research talents, and expand Jinling's influence.

As for the interview, although Xu Chuan didn't like this kind of thing very much, he was no stranger to it. After all, he had experienced a lot in his previous life.

And Yang Ma's face still needs to be given, although the one who came was not the boss, but it was Yang Ma anyway.

Of course, the dean of Nantah University's School of Mathematics was also included in the interview. Although the focus was not on him, this was a good opportunity to expand the influence of Nantah University and the Nantah School of Mathematics.

It took more than two hours to accept the interview with Yang Ma, and Xu Chuan walked out of the teaching building together with Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of the School of Mathematical Sciences.

The reporters and media outside had dispersed, Rong Zhizhuan looked at the sunset hanging in the sky, and said with a smile: "Student Xu Chuan, how about having dinner together? I'm treating you."

It was during the meal that someone invited a guest, so Xu Chuan naturally would not refuse, and the two came to the No. 2 staff canteen side by side.

"You've become famous this time. What are your plans in the future? Why don't you just come to the Mathematics Academy and concentrate on studying?" Rong Zhizhuan asked with a smile.

"I think it's fine now."

Xu Chuan smiled and declined the dean's kindness. Physics is his root, which will not change in two lifetimes.

Hearing this, Rong Zhizhuan shook his head, and said, "Your boy has ambitions, you don't even want to give up on mathematics and physics, are you going to be the next Weiteng?"

Professor Wei Teng is the only one who can achieve the top level in physics and mathematics at the same time.

Speaking of Wei Teng, Xu Chuan also laughed.

As his teacher in Princeton in his previous life, he knew it all too well.

He was rated as the sixth most influential person after World War II by the American "Life" magazine, and the one with the highest H index among contemporary physicists. He has profound physical intuition and superb mathematical ability.

The proof of the positive energy theorem of general relativity, supersymmetry and Morse theory, topological quantum field theory, superstring compactification, mirror symmetry, supersymmetric gauge field theory, conjectures on the existence of M theory, etc. and mathematical contributions.

Any one of them is a result that an ordinary mathematician or physicist may not necessarily be able to produce in a lifetime of research.

He has won various awards such as MacArthur Foundation, Fields Medal, Einstein Award, Newton Medal, Lorenz Award, Poincaré Award, Crawford Mathematics Award, and the National Medal of Science of the United States.

It can be said that among the top awards in physics, he is only short of the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is probably the most regrettable thing.

Compared with the geniuses in the novel, Edward Witten is the real character.

Because during college, his major was the history of liberal arts, which had nothing to do with physics and mathematics.

After graduating from college, he joined the think tank for the presidential campaign. At that time, he participated in the Democratic Party's presidential campaign and spent about a year.

Then he thought politics was too boring and fake, so after getting tired of the fake political life, he went to the University of Wisconsin to study economics.

This time it was shorter. After only half a year of study, he couldn't stand the simplicity and boredom of economics. After that, he applied for the major of Applied Mathematics at Princeton University.

After a short stay in applied mathematics, he transferred to the Department of Physics at Princeton. Completed master's and doctoral dissertations in theoretical physics at Princeton.

But none of those detours slowed him down, whether transferring schools, dropping out, changing majors, or taking on campaign work.

At 28, he became a full professor at Princeton, and two years later he won one of the first so-called genius grants awarded by the MacArthur Foundation.

In 1990, at the age of 38, he won the Fields Medal. So far, he is the only "non-mathematics professional" who has won the Fields Medal.

This "twists and turns" or "brilliant" life constitutes his immortal legend, and he is also known as "the best liberal arts student in history".

He has learned a lot from Witten, whether it is mathematics or physics, and he has benefited a lot.

As for the second Wei Teng, he is not the second Wei Teng, but the first Xu Chuan.

His achievements in his previous life had already surpassed his teacher, and he will only go further in this life.
