Tech Hammer

In fact, when Lu Dongyi said that he had no friends in Versailles, neither Jin Cheng nor Chen Zhe had any interest in continuing the conversation. It is said that there is a chain of contempt in academic circles. This is true. Of course, it is not just a chain of contempt between disciplines.

You must know that the generation of chains of contempt mainly stems from people’s mentality. And people who can make a name for themselves in academic circles, no matter how humble they are on weekdays, must be proud deep down, especially in the field of mathematics, which is a field that only smart people can get involved in.

Those whose IQs are not up to standard in this field have been screened out early through the undergraduate stage. Those who can persevere in this field and have recognized research fields in the industry can basically be called a genius. The subtext of what Lu Dongyi said was clearly that compared to my junior brother, you are all younger brothers. Who can bear this?

Not to mention that this is the home field of Zhejiang University this year, which means that Professor Jin is relatively well-educated, and the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center represented by Lu Dongyi does have a deep background. Otherwise, I would really have to ask Xiao Lu’s colleagues. Are you polite? Such words...

Of course, from Lu Dongyi's perspective, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his words. In fact, this has nothing to do with emotional intelligence. It's just that when you are strong enough, you don't have to think about whether these words will make people unhappy before you say them.

This is just like no Olympic champion would be so full that he would explore the complicated and unspeakable mental journey of a player who failed to reach the finals and failed.

So after a few simple greetings, Jin Cheng and Chen Zhe stood up and left first, without even waiting for the three people at the table to finish their meals. This made Ning Wei feel a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"Senior Brother Lu, I think you are definitely not very popular in this big circle." Ning Wei looked at the leaving figures of the two professors, shook his head, and made a neutral comment.

"Haha, in the academic circle, you either have tangible results. This is hard power. Wherever you go, people will naturally follow you. If you don't have any tangible results, you will still appear to be well-rounded, well-connected, and very popular wherever you go. The kind that basically came about through cheating and cheating. Everyone seems to be giving face, but who will respect him behind the scenes? So things like popularity can only be said to be a matter of opinion." Lu Dongyi said openly.

"Professor Lu said it so well!" Yu Shiwen on the side added a sentence at every opportunity.

Lu Dongyi raised his head and glanced at the girl, and then said slowly: "Well, for example, Professor Jin, has he really produced any outstanding scientific research results? Anyway, I don't know. But the doctoral students he led are striving for the top youth project this year. was rejected, and then slandered a lot of people on Weibo, including you of course. If it weren’t for your outburst, we wouldn’t have known about it. So you guess as the supervisor of that doctoral student Does he know?"

"Oh? So there is such a thing. Senior Brother Lu, you know so much." Ning Wei suddenly realized, no wonder Senior Brother Lu was on full fire today.

But Yu Shiwen next to her was dumbfounded when she heard this. She really didn't know how to answer it. After spending a long time laying the groundwork, the target of the attack was directly aimed at her professor. What should she say?

"So, Xiao Yu, if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination in this school's major in the future, I suggest you consider Professor Yan Shangmin, Professor Xu Ruize and Professor Zheng Xuwen. These three professors should be the professors with the highest academic level in mathematics in your school, especially It’s Professor Yan Shangmin, a great master that our institute has been trying to find but has never been able to find. Of course, your professors Sun Wen, Qu Jianghe, etc. are also of good academic level, at least they are serious academics. But like Don't choose Professor Jin just now, look at him, he will get close to whoever is popular, how can he have the time to do serious academic research?" Lu Dongyi suggested seriously.

"What if I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination at Yanbei International Research Center in the future?" Yu Shiwen asked.

Looking at Lu Dongyi's stunned eyes, Ning Wei felt that it was him who should tell this girl who was still struggling with her graduation thesis how ridiculous this idea was: "Um, classmate Yu, you may have some misunderstanding about our research center. Let’s put it this way, my girlfriend at Yanbei University is a very smart one. I would not suggest her to consider being a graduate student in our center because I’m afraid that if she really gets admitted, she will have doubts about her IQ. As for you, today You always act like you're not very smart. Let's not mention whether you can pass the exam or not. Even if a one-ten-thousandth miracle happens and you actually pass the exam, that's the beginning of the nightmare. It's no exaggeration to say that you passed the exam. You will really start to doubt your life.”

After saying that, Ning Wei ignored classmate Yu who looked in disbelief, quickly finished the remaining rice on the plate for two mouthfuls, and said to Lu Dongyi: "Senior Brother Lu, let's go."

"Well, let's go!"

Lu Dongyi nodded, and then the two of them stood up and walked away, leaving Yu Shiwen messy in the restaurant. That... was Ning just laughing at her for being stupid?

…

In the private room of another restaurant on the sixth floor of the hotel, big bosses including Kong Mingde and Professor Xu were also eating.

The standard of this meal is very high, not to mention how expensive the dishes are, but most of them are home-cooked dishes. The main thing that highlights the standard is the people at the dinner. Let's put it this way, Lu Dongyi probably had to restrain himself when he came to the dinner. The ten big guys at the table were all big-shot academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and dean-level bosses like Kong Mingde of 985 University were all here. Can be called a small hole.

"Xiao Kong, is there something wrong with your college's talent selection mechanism? Why doesn't such a good talent recommend him to a mentor who can really guide him? Tell me, why did Ning Wei get recruited by that guy named Tian? Student? Can a person who studies physics and mathematics have anything to do with artificial intelligence? Why can he instruct Ning?" At the dinner table, Mr. Qiu, who was in his seventies, said with a frown.

As the first Chinese mathematician to win the Fields Medal, Mr. Qiu’s status in the industry is huge. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the conflict with Tian Yanzhen, the mathematics center planned by Mr. Qiu probably would not have chosen Huaqing University, which is opposite Yanbei University.

So when faced with the question from this respected senior, Kong Mingde could only smile bitterly: "Mr. Qiu, you really can't blame us. You also know that Ning Wei originally studied NS equations, and happened to be working with Xiao Lu, a student of Professor Tian. The research direction was the same. Xiao Lu even made a special trip to Jiangnan University. We didn't know it at the time, which attracted Ning Wei's heart. Moreover, the little guy was also very independent. We tried to persuade him to stay, and Lao Du was I personally took action, but I couldn't keep the person. Moreover, the teacher from Huaqing's Research and Admissions Office contacted me at that time, and I immediately called the child."

In fact, there is still resentment in my heart, but the man named Xue has been kicked out of Jiang University by Du Shaodong, and he is so angry that he can't express it now.

"When I mentioned this, I got angry. That guy actually said that Huaqing was not a serious school, and even blocked the teacher's phone number! I would like to ask later who he heard said that Huaqing was not a serious school!" Qiu Lao glanced at Yao Yuanzhi beside him and said.

The only Chinese Turing Award winner came here specifically for Ning Wei. After all, he does not specialize in mathematics. In fact, when we were in the capital, we could just cross the street, but for various reasons, it was not convenient for the big guys to do this kind of thing, so they simply chose to meet after the meeting to talk about some things.

"Actually, I don't think this can be blamed on the children. Some departments in the school did go too far." Yao Yuanzhi said calmly.

It would be hard for others to say anything if they expose their family scandals like this. Mr. Qiu also felt depressed for a while and said: "Play the piano randomly!"

Sitting on the other side of Mr. Qiu, Academician Xi Ruonan, the chairman of the Chinese Mathematical Society, smiled and said: "Mr. Qiu, don't be angry. Things are already like this. Besides, Lao Tian is also good at teaching students. Lu Dongyi is now We have grown up too, we should be happy."

"Haha, I really want to ask that guy tomorrow what's wrong with our Huaqing Institute of Science and Technology!" Mr. Qiu said gloomily.

…

The next day, the 2022 National Member Congress of the Chinese Mathematical Society officially kicked off as scheduled. Although the meeting schedule was to start at nine in the morning, Lu Dongyi woke up Ning Wei early to have breakfast, and brought Ning Wei to the venue just after eight o'clock. To Ning Wei's surprise, even one hour in advance, There were already many people in the auditorium where the meeting was held.

Unlike the two world-class conferences that Ning Wei participated in, there was no pictorial display area outside this mathematics annual conference. All the representatives were in the auditorium, which made it even more lively. Before the conference started, he followed Lu Dongyi and got to know many big names in the domestic mathematics community.

This was Ning Wei's first time entering the domestic mathematics academic circle. Anyway, he didn't know anyone very well, but after following Lu Dongyi around, he roughly understood the influence of Yanbei University in the Chinese mathematics circle.

Let's put it this way, Lu Dongyi introduced Ning Wei to more than ten alumni who had graduated from Yanbei University, ten of whom had been invited to give reports at the International Congress of Mathematicians held every four years. This is probably It is equivalent to the international mathematics community’s recognition of these Yanbei University alumni’s research in the field of mathematics.

You must know that there are only a few mathematics prizes in the world, and the most well-known ones are probably the Fields, Wolf, and Abel Prizes. The Fields Medal is awarded only once every four years, and the Wolf Prize does not award mathematics prizes every year, so there are only a few mathematics masters who can actually win the prize. Many winners who have made great contributions in a certain field of mathematics may have been inspired by a paper by a scholar who is unknown to the outside world but has long been recognized by the academic community, and then made world-renowned achievements.

Like any industry, the academic circle relies on countless people to lay the foundation for it to be as bright as the group of people at the top of the pyramid. So many times, in addition to strength, winning academic awards also requires a little bit of luck. But just because they have not won a major award does not negate the many years of hard work these scientists have put into their respective fields.

Ning Wei behaved very well in front of these alumni. In Lu Dongyi's words, these were his own people. In short, when they met for the first time, they exchanged business blows, and the effect was perfect.

This hour almost flew by, and soon the time came to nine o'clock, which was also the time for the opening ceremony of the conference. The lively scene quieted down, and everyone's attention was focused on the big guys on the podium. .

As the annual meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society, the opening ceremony naturally started with the opening speech by the chairman of the society. Academician Xi Ruonan stood on the stage and gave a brief and powerful speech. It was said that the society specially invited computers this time. Academician Yao Yuanzhi delivered a speech.

Academician Yao affirmed the achievements of the Chinese mathematics community in recent years, talked about the close and mutually reinforcing relationship between mathematics and computers, and finally expressed his expectations for the future. The two bosses took about half an hour to speak together, and After Academician Yao finished his speech, the microphone was handed over to Mr. Qiu.

Mr. Qiu began to speak. None of these academic leaders seemed to be interested in empty speeches. After a few words, the opening ceremony entered the much-anticipated part, announcing the winners of this year's Hua Luogeng Award and Chen Shengshen Award. Both of them were It is the highest award in the Chinese mathematics community, but the former is mainly awarded to respected older generation scientists over fifty years old, while the latter is mainly awarded to young scientists under forty years old.

Therefore, it can be roughly understood that the former is a lifetime achievement award in China, and the latter represents the high expectations of the Chinese mathematics community.

The Hua Luogeng Prize was awarded to Professor Yang Yanhua and Academician Wen Zhengyuan, both 74 years old, for their characterization of the theoretical properties and operators of real homogeneous kernels and non-homogeneous kernel Yang-Hilbert type inequalities of two pairs of conjugate exponents. and various special case applications, as well as foundational work on the theoretical extension of Hilbert-type inequalities.

Immediately afterwards came the highlight of the conference. The winner of the Chen Shengshen Award, which represents the future, was still announced by Mr. Qiu on the stage.

"In 2022, the first winner of the Chen Shengshen Award is Professor Chen Zhe from Huaxia University of Science and Technology. The 27-year-old Professor Chen Zhe published the paper "J Equation and Supercritical Hermite-Yang Zhenning-Mills" in the Journal of New Advances in Mathematics. "Transformation of Equations" solved a core task that has troubled the world's mathematical community of complex differential geometry for many years, that is, solving these two equations under the premise of stability. Our Professor Chen Zhe did it, let us congratulate Professor Chen Zhe!"

After Qiu finished speaking, he didn't even react at the scene. There was no other reason. Although the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award has always been awarded to young scientists under the age of 40, Chen Zhe was too young, only 27 years old!

You must know that before Chen Zhe, the youngest winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award was also a professor at Huaxia University of Science and Technology, but he was already 34 years old. In other words, Chen Zhe directly broke the record once set by his alumni.

After the shock, the applause still rang out. After all, being able to win the Chen Shengshen Prize at the age of 27 represents the expectations of the older generation of mathematicians for young people, and it also shows that Professor Chen Zhe has a bright future.

At this time, Chen Zhe also stood up from his position, bowed to everyone, and then walked steadily onto the podium.

Ning Wei watched the excitement and clapped along, sighing in his heart. Unexpectedly, we had dinner together yesterday, and today this professor came to the stage to receive the award. Of course, he couldn't say he was too envious. He believed that many people at the scene still envied him. For example, they envied him for his big wallet...

However, just when he was feeling extremely emotional, Senior Brother Lu said abruptly: "You should also prepare."

"Me? What should I prepare?" Ning Wei was stunned, Erzhang looked at Lu Dongyi confused, and then quickly reacted: "Ah..."

At this time, Mr. Qiu on the stage continued to speak after applause: "I announce that the second winner of the 2022 Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is Ning Wei..."
