Tech Hammer

Mr. Qiu's voice paused, mainly because the heated discussion in the audience was a little too loud.

Indeed, many people feel that the council's joke is a little too big this time. This year's winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is a 27-year-old professor and an even more outrageous 23-year-old doctor. They are really as young as the others. They just held it in their hands. The youngest winner of the China Mathematics Prize in history, and then another younger one, regardless of what they think, what does this make Professor Chen think? One minute a record is broken, and then the record is broken by someone else!

Of course, for more people, they are not only worried about the age of the winners, but also about the agreed upon seniority? After all, these awards are only awarded once every two years, and only two places are available at one time. For many professors who want to qualify for academicianship, these awards are capital for future selections. Especially for those mathematicians who are already 38 or 9 years old, if they cannot win the award this time, they will completely miss this award.

In addition, there are some discussions that go in the direction of gossip. Everyone knows that Ning Wei is Tian Yanzhen's student, and the conflict between Mr. Qiu and Tian Yanzhen was a big deal in the circle back then. In the end, Tian Yanzhen raised more than 300 million through his own influence and built the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center, while Mr. Qiu built the Mathematical Research Center at the school next door to Yanbei University.

Today, Tian Yanzhen’s student won the award. Mr. Tian didn’t come, but Mr. Qiu stood on the stage as a guest of honor and presented the award to Tian Yanzhen’s student. So, did the two big guys finally shake hands and make peace? Still no contact with each other?

In short, there are too many gimmicks in this year's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, and there are also a lot of points for gossip!

Of course, many people did not expect that Ning Wei would contribute to this discussion. When he heard his name, Ning Wei asked Lu Dongyi beside him: "Brother Lu, why don't you and Director Tian follow?" I said?"

Ning Weicai didn't believe this, Tian Yan really didn't know. After all, their director Tian was still the vice chairman of the National Mathematical Society, and the evaluation of domestic awards would definitely not bypass him.

"Probably because I'm afraid you'll post on Weibo." Senior Brother Lu's answer was concise and to the point.

Ning Wei was speechless. Did he give everyone the impression that he was so ignorant? How could he post something like this on Weibo in advance?

Fortunately, all those who could attend this meeting were a group of mathematicians. For them, Mr. Qiu standing on the stage was definitely a being like a needle in the sea. When Mr. Qiu's calm eyes swept across the audience, everyone quickly understood. The noise in the auditorium became quiet.

"The reason for Ning Wei's award is that the introduction of Ning Wei space has advanced the understanding of NS equations in the world of mathematics, and has provided a new and extremely efficient mathematical tool for the mathematics community to finally solve the uniqueness and smoothness of NS equations in three dimensions. ; At the same time, it solved the KLS conjecture that has troubled the world for nearly 30 years, providing a new way of thinking for solving more complex Bourgain cross-section problems; at the same time, the proposal of the random comprehensive map theory of irrational numbers provided mathematicians around the world with solutions to the mysteries of irrational numbers. Another way of thinking is that this award is well deserved! If we don’t award it to him, who else will have the nerve to go on stage to receive the award this year?”

Mr. Qiu's final rhetorical question was much louder. This was obviously to support Ningwei in winning the award. The audience finally reacted and warm applause broke out. The main reason is that no one can refute that Ning Wei is indeed a little younger, but when these honors are mentioned, everyone's mouths are blocked.

The reporters at the scene were probably the most excited.

Today's mathematics conference is all big news. The minimum age limit for recipients of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award has been broken again and again. There is also the first person in history to receive the award as a Ph.D. student. The reason for the award given by the organizing committee Two-thirds were obtained by Ningwei during his undergraduate studies, and the most important thing is that Mr. Qiu willingly stood up for Tian Yanzhen’s students...

To sum it up in three words: exciting!

At this time, Wei Wei had already stood up from his position, walked onto the red carpet in the middle of the auditorium, and walked up to the podium with steady steps. Then he suddenly felt a cold and stern look. Only then did Ning Wei notice, Classmate Yu, who had met him several times yesterday and was rated by him as not very smart, was standing behind the podium holding the trophy and certificate that was about to be awarded to him.

This woman was indeed not very eye-catching. Although she was standing on the rostrum, he just didn't notice her presence. But it's different when he's on stage. He hasn't offended this girl, so why should he stare at him? Fortunately, after shaking hands with Chen Zhe and turning around, the gaze was gone.

Next came the award ceremony. The two female volunteers holding medals and certificates first handed the medals and certificates to Mr. Qiu, and then from Mr. Qiu to the winners.

Ning Wei took the medal and certificate that belonged to him from Mr. Qiu. Before he could say thank you, Mr. Qiu took the lead and asked in a low voice: "Ning Wei, I want to ask you, what is wrong with Huaqing University? Why is it not more serious than Yanbei University?"

Mr. Qiu's voice was not loud, but Professor Chen Zhe, who was standing next to Ning Wei and had just received the award, could hear it. He turned his head and glanced at Ning Wei in shock. Ning Wei also looked confused. The movements and expressions of the two people were also completely recorded by the camera facing the rostrum. From the photographer's point of view, it was probably Mr. Qiu who whispered something when he presented the award to Ning Wei, and then made both this year's winners faint.

Of course, Ning Wei was the most stunned. Didn't he just win an award? Why should he be asked to recall the journey of his mind when he casually said that sentence a year ago? The boss is bullying people.

However, the elder's question must be answered after all. Fortunately, Ning Wei's mind turned quickly and he immediately thought of all the thoughts he had when he was pondering the turbulence algorithm. He subconsciously replied: "Well, I like people with big eyes." As a girl, at that time Huaqing produced some squinty-eyed models and said they were fashionable and high-end aesthetics, which really disgusted me, and made me subconsciously feel that Huaqing was not serious..."

"What squinty-eyed model? Besides, why do you, an academic, pay attention to those people who are engaged in art? What does it have to do with Huaqing whether they have high-end aesthetics? What does it have to do with scientific research?"

Mr. Qiu's question reminded Ning Wei of what Lu Dongyi told him on the way. A person must be neither humble nor arrogant. If the bosses say something right, then they must listen to it. If they say something wrong, of course they must argue with reason, so he immediately said : "Mr. Qiu, what you said is wrong. Normal aesthetics is the kind that makes people feel happy just by seeing it. When beauty pleases the brain, it can make thinking more agile and do research with twice the result with half the effort; vice versa. If you see those weird makeup in school, it will make people feel depressed, which will cause the brain to be unable to think and affect research efficiency. Well, I am still young and I like to admire normal beauties, so it should be normal, right?"

Chen Zhe turned his head and then lowered his head. For some reason, after hearing the exchange between the two, he suddenly wanted to laugh. But it was not good to laugh out loud at this time. Lowering his head would prevent the camera from capturing him. It was not suitable. The appropriate expression. Of course, what he admired even more was that Ning Wei could answer so calmly under Mr. Qiu's aura. It turned out that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

"Okay, I'll go back and see what squinty-eyed model you're talking about to see if what you said makes sense!" Yes, Mr. Qiu actually didn't know what Ning Wei was talking about, so he could only glare at the child. Finally, he said bitterly.

After all, if I want to talk more about something, now is not a good time. The timing of a few words has already delayed at least a minute. Of course, when the seniors present awards to the juniors in the auditorium, it is normal to say a few more words of encouragement. People find it too strange. But when the awards were handed out and the three of them faced the rostrum, ready for reporters to take photos, everyone still got a clue...

Why does Professor Chen Zhe's smile look a little weird when he raises his head? Why did Mr. Qiu, who was standing in the middle, look so serious when he turned around, without even a smile? The most normal thing is probably Ning Wei, who looks calm and calm.

Next came the acceptance speech. Apparently Chen Zhe had already gotten wind of it and was somewhat prepared. He spoke for about ten minutes. When it was Ning Wei's turn, he could only watch Senior Brother Lu gnashing his teeth in the audience.

No way, totally unprepared.

"I am very grateful to the teachers of the Chinese Mathematical Society for their recognition. I am also grateful to the teachers and professors at Jiangcheng University and Yanbei University for their long-term cultivation of me. I am also grateful to my current teachers, Director Tian and Brother Lu, for teaching me many things. , and also helped me avoid many detours on the road of mathematics. In the future, I will continue to work hard on the road of mathematics. After all, I am still young and still in school, so today I am just standing on the starting line, looking forward to myself Can run better results!"

"Finally, thank you all again!"

Warm applause rang out again, even though Ning Wei's acceptance speech really made countless people feel mixed emotions and even gritted their teeth. The 23-year-old winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize, rather than the starting line, may already be the end point for many people in the audience, and may even be a goal that cannot be achieved in a lifetime. Especially for mathematicians who are already forty years old, there is basically no chance.

How can this not be hateful?

But no matter what the mentality of the people in the audience is, when the award ceremony is over, it also means that today's opening ceremony has come to a successful conclusion. As for the report meeting, it would have to wait until the afternoon, and when the opening ceremony that lasted all morning came to an end, the time for reporters who had been waiting for a long time finally arrived.

They have accumulated too many questions about this award ceremony. If you throw out any one, it will become big news, not to mention that one of the winners this time is Ning Wei, who has a hotly-searched physique.

So soon, the big guys attending the meeting were surrounded by reporters.

"I would like to ask Mr. Qiu, the age of the winners of this year's Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize has hit a new low. Does this mean that the future Chen Shengshen Prize will be more biased towards younger mathematicians?"

"Age has always been the least important reference factor in the evaluation of mathematics awards. The most important thing is the results obtained. The so-called age bias does not exist. As long as you are under forty years old, the results obtained in the past two years have surpassed other If you are a person, then you are qualified to win the award. So it should be said that our evaluation is fair. If there must be one dimension, it is the achievement-based and contribution-based theory!"

"Mr. Qiu, it is well known that Ning Wei is Professor Tian's student, and your relationship with Professor Tian and even the entire Yanbei University has not been very good. This time you personally award Ning Wei, does it mean that there is no relationship between you and Professor Tian?" reconciliation?"

"I just said that the evaluation criteria for the award are the winner's performance and contribution to the field of mathematics. This has nothing to do with anything else, and there is no need to over-interpret it."

"Excuse me, Mr. Qiu..."

…

Of course, in addition to those big names, the winners this time, especially Ning Wei, were also surrounded by more reporters. Basically, they were asked several questions every step of the way.

"Dr. Ning, congratulations on breaking the record as the youngest winner of the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize. Do you have any special thoughts about this?"

"I didn't dare to think about this question before. I haven't thought about it now. It's indeed a bit sudden." Ning Wei answered seriously.

"Dr. Ning, in addition to the record of being the youngest winner, you also broke another record because you may be the first billionaire to win the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize. Do you have any self-evaluation for this?"

Ning Wei was stunned when he heard a reporter ask a question from such a strange angle. Really, he hadn't really thought about winning the award from this angle. He had to admire the reporters' thinking and casually said Said: "Well, do you want me to say that excellent people are excellent in all aspects? Well, thinking about it this way, it seems that it is indeed the case."

"Dr. Ning, I just heard someone say that the reason why your supervisor, Professor Tian, ​​did not attend this conference this time is because he made many compromises with other council members in order for you to win the award. Can you respond to this rumor?"

"I don't know where you know this from. After all, Director Tian never talks to me about anything other than academic matters when he fixes me, so I think you should ask Mr. Qiu or Academician Xi about this question. Everyone knows that, I am still just a student, and my current task is to study hard and make progress every day. I don’t know much about some things in the outside world, and I don’t have the time to understand them.”

"Dr. Ning, your achievements are admirable. Do you have any advice for other mathematics enthusiasts?"

Ning Wei replied seriously: "Well, the essence of mathematics is an indispensable and important tool for scientific research, so mathematics can be said to be the ceiling that determines the upper limit of a scientist's achievements. So if you really love mathematics, then please love it deeply. Don’t be afraid of difficulties. Of course, if you find that mathematics doesn’t love you, you must also learn to stop losses immediately, because after a certain level of mathematics, it is no longer a matter of hard work, but a competition of talent.”

While answering the questions tirelessly, Ning Wei found that Chen Zhe, who had won the award with him, had almost reached the exit, and couldn't help but feel less beautiful...

Everyone is a winner, so why are there so few reporters on Professor Chen Zhe’s side, yet he has to deal with so many mentally handicapped problems? It’s so easy to win an award, why does it have to be so difficult for him?

This world is so unfair!
