Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Chapter 193 Honorary Doctorate

"I would like to grant you an honorary doctorate on behalf of Princeton University. You will not refuse this request, will you?"

Deligne said this sentence with a smile, then watched Xu Yun calmly and waited for an answer.

"Honorary doctor?"

Xu Yun repeated the sentence in a low voice, feeling rather surprised.

He is naturally very clear about the honorary doctorate, which is an honor awarded by universities in recognition of their great contributions to the world.

According to the procedure, he has not yet graduated with a master's degree, but he will be awarded a doctorate by Princeton University.

This is indeed somewhat unexpected.

But as Deligne said, he couldn't refuse this request.

Besides, it wasn't bad for him.

They invited him to come here for academic exchanges, and given him the opportunity to join the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, they have already attached great importance to it, and now they must give him an honorary doctorate.

After all, it's not good to reject someone twice in a row.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun no longer hesitated, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I accept."

"Tomorrow the principal will issue you a degree certificate, and there will be students and teachers watching the ceremony." Deligne was completely relieved after hearing Xu Yun's affirmative answer, and added.

Not everyone at Princeton University will award an honorary doctorate, so it is not a small ceremony.

And the conversation between the two also stunned the other people around, who were stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Xu Yun hadn't graduated yet.

Faced with such a strong sense of gap, the remaining students immediately lost interest and left one after another.

When the classroom became quiet again, Xu Yun stepped up to Wei Qi and spoke to him.

"Professor Vitch, the development of mathematics requires questioning and debate, and I don't care."

"I have a lot to learn from you." Wei Qi shook his head and took off his reading glasses and said with emotion.

The next few people did not stay in the classroom, and Deligne went to the principal's office to discuss tomorrow's ceremony.

Xu Yun didn't go out. After the open class, he went to the restaurant to have dinner and returned to the room where he lived.

It is worth mentioning that although he accepted the honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University, he did not take it too seriously.

According to the current situation, when he returns to China after attending the Mathematicians Conference, he will directly obtain a master's degree certificate.

Become a real doctoral student.

He will not give up the double doctorate of Jingzhou University just because of this honorary doctorate.

What's more, after becoming a doctor, he can participate in the selection of outstanding young people and be responsible for some vertical projects.

Compared with participating in other projects, he wants to solve the problem himself.

The satisfaction of exploring new knowledge and solving problems is unmatched by other things.

That night.

Although Xu Yun was sitting at the desk, he was actually focusing on the panel, muttering softly as he watched the advanced task.

"It's been less than a day since the mission time, so I should be able to get the mission reward this time."

The lidar joint laboratory is already writing a conclusion report. Although the research results have not been announced to the public for the time being, it should not affect the judgment of the panel and the issuance of task rewards.

Therefore, although tomorrow is the honorary doctorate conferring ceremony, what he looks forward to more is the award.

I am eager to know what level the blueprint of the automated intelligent module robot can achieve.

After all, unlike the previous theoretical mathematics, there are many scenarios that robots can be used in, and even indirectly represent the development of science and technology in different countries.

There is also the mechanical romance in a man's heart.

Speechless all night.

The next morning Xu Yun put on the academic gown sent by the school and went to the ceremony site.

Every time Princeton University confers an honorary doctorate, it will receive reports and attention from all walks of life, especially this time to a graduate student who is only in his early twenties.

Coupled with Xu Yun's special status, it naturally attracted many news media.

When he first came to the scene, he saw many famous local media, and what was even more surprising was that it also included international news from the main station.

Seeing the male reporter waving at him, he nodded and smiled slightly.

In addition, he also saw an acquaintance, Hofer, the editor-in-chief of the editorial board of the Annual Mathematics.

As soon as he met the other party's target, he saw him approaching.

"Congratulations, Dr. Xu."

"Thank you, Mr. Hofer, for coming to today's ceremony." Xu Yun shook hands with Hofer's congratulations, and casually asked a question about the Annual Mathematics: "Mr. Hofer should have been doing a lot recently. Review papers of high academic value?"

"No matter how valuable it is, it can't compare with your paper. You really don't plan to publish a paper on topological group theory?"

Hofer first gave a compliment, and then cleverly brought the topic to the things he cared about most.

Xu Yun knew that Hofer was talking about yesterday's open class, and the other party obviously knew that topological group theory was proved.

When topological group theory was first proposed, it caused a shock in the entire number theory field.

If the academic community knows that topological group theory has been thoroughly proved, one can imagine how much heated discussion it will cause.

As the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, Hofer must hope that Xu Yun can publish this paper in the Annals.

Xu Yun wanted to understand these and did not give a clear answer. Instead, he pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Hofer, I guarantee that my new paper will be more shocking than topological group theory." The words did not wait for Hofer Er responded, and went to Deligne to prepare for the stage.

Perhaps attracted by Xu Yun's words, Hofer still stood there looking a little absent-minded.

"A more shocking paper than topological group theory?"

"What could it be?"

With the famous scene of collective urging by scholars in the field of number theory last time, Hofer really can't think of any papers that are more attractive than this.

Just as he was muttering softly, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

"Could it be..."

"Does it prove that the new world math problem is not possible?"

"This is impossible."

But before it survived for a few moments, it was denied by him again.

After all, since Perelman and Xu Yun have proved one mathematical problem since it was proposed to modern times, no one has been able to prove two, not to mention that the distance between them is still so short.

He admitted that topological group theory is very valuable, but it is still very difficult and time-consuming to apply it to the proof of famous conjectures in number theory.

But it also reminds me of Xu Yun's monstrous talent and solving Hodge's conjecture at such a young age.

This uncertainty is something no one else has.

Therefore, in the end, he couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he had to temporarily ignore it.

Anyway, no matter what the direction of Xu Yun's new thesis is, it will be published in their annual mathematics journal.

Just wait patiently for this surprise.

ten o'clock in the morning.

Under the lens of many media at home and abroad, Xu Yun on the ceremony stage received the honorary doctorate certificate from President Esgar of Princeton University, and took a group photo with a smile on his face.

The not so cumbersome degree conferring ceremony was over, and Xu Yun was naturally interviewed by reporters.

In the end, he gave the opportunity to the foreign correspondents of the main station.

"I'm Liu Yang, the headquarter's foreign correspondent. Can you tell me about your feelings about receiving an honorary doctorate from Princeton University?"

"I am surprised by this honor, but also very happy."

"At the beginning of next month, the International Congress of Mathematicians is held every four years. Will you attend it?"

"Next I will go to de Janeiro to participate."

"Are you confident about winning the Fields Medal?" Liu Yang handed the microphone to Xu Yun again and asked seriously.

Xu Yun has only one sentence for this: "I believe that the International Mathematical Union will make a fair selection."

At the end of the interview, Xu Yun did not leave time for the other reporters, and returned to his temporary residence after finishing the process.

After all, his attention was all on the mission rewards, and seeing that the mission time limit was about to be reached, he naturally wanted to find a clean place to look up the blueprints.

And at this time, related reports quickly spread to the country, causing quite a stir on the Internet.

Due to the research of the solid-state lidar project, Xu Yun hardly showed his face in the first half of the year.

This has greatly reduced the popularity about him on the Internet. It was under such circumstances that it was suddenly revealed that Xu Yun had received an honorary doctorate.

What's more, Xu Yun also commented on the Fields Medal.

"What's the situation with the grass, when did God Xu go to Princeton?"

"Honorary doctorate, envy!"

"Shouldn't he be attending the Mathematicians Conference? Why did he end up at Princeton University?"

"If you don't read the news, you don't know this at all."

"Xu Shen is still too modest, if you don't win the Fields Medal, who will win it?"

"Wait for the birth of the youngest Fields Medal winner."

"It's really exciting."

Compared with the attitude of domestic netizens, many people's comments are full of sourness when relevant news is released overseas.

Among them, users from Neon even threatened that Xu Yun would not be able to win the Fields Medal.

"It proves that Hodge's conjecture is nothing more than luck. How is it possible to win the Fields Medal in your twenties?"

"Professor Ohno is right, he is not very good at all."

"Definitely a genius out of the package."

"An honorary doctorate from Princeton University means nothing, and many businessmen can get it."

"If the jury is not stupid, it will definitely not award him the award."

A netizen who had climbed over the wall saw Xu Yun being slandered, and returned to the usual platform without saying a word, calling for help with a ladder.

Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, they will never be shy in the lane.

Because even if Xu Yun was really packaged, it would be better than not being able to find anyone who could be packaged at Neon.

No one expected that this report would lead to a new round of online rivalry, which made the whole network pay attention to the opening of the Mathematicians Conference a few days later, wondering what the final result would be.

On the contrary, Xu Yun, who was the person involved, didn't pay attention to the comments on the Internet at this time.

Staying alone in the room and looking at the front panel, you can see that the advanced task has been successfully completed, and the most important thing besides getting 120 points is naturally the blueprint.

Thank you Tianduzhiyun for rewarding 100 points!
