I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 485 The Youngest Mathematics Breakthrough Prize Winner Ever!

The next night was the announcement of the selection results of the Breakthrough Prize and the awards ceremony. This time there was a big wave of Western media, and many domestic academic media tried their best to apply for interview rights, which made the ceremony site full of cameras and hanging reporters. It was very lively, and all the well-known scholars were arrested for interviews.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who walked into the venue, were undoubtedly the most dazzling academic stars among all the candidates. Reporters from all over the world naturally surrounded them with a clamor, holding long guns and short cannons for an interview.

The most frequently asked question is that the two of you have been rumored to be the default recipients of this year's Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. What do you think about this?

Such a big question is not easy to answer. Ning Qingyun, who is naturally tender-skinned, can't handle it. She blushes and tightens Qin Ke's hand. Fortunately, Qin Ke is used to such situations, and he can deal with them freely without being proud. It is not too modest, saying that although the two of us have achieved some academic achievements, whether we can be awarded an award and what award we will be awarded still depends on the approval of the judges and the international mathematics community. Go on the road and so on.

After finding a reason to talk about something with Professor Thomson and getting rid of the reporters' stalking and interception, Qin Ke began to chat with the familiar scholars.

Soon, mathematicians from all over the world came to communicate with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in an endless stream. Most of them did not despise or reject them because of their nationality and age.

The international mathematics community is always an academic community, and the key to being truly respected is not qualifications, awards, etc., but academic achievements.

So even though Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are still freshmen who have not graduated, and the only award they have won is Xia Guo's own Chern Mathematics Award, there are still many professors and bosses who come to deal with them on an equal footing, including Pu Senior professors from world-renowned universities such as University, Harvard, Cambridge, and MIT, as well as big names from the Craford Award, Ramanujan Award, and even the Fields Award, Abel Award, and Wolf Award.

Ning Qingyun was already a little dizzy from being surrounded, and could only secretly stare at her boyfriend who was chatting and laughing with all the big shots with adoring eyes.

Sure enough, in terms of dealing with people, Qin Xiaoke is no worse than his math level.

At 19:00 local time in the evening, the sponsors and co-sponsors of the Breakthrough Prize gathered, and the award ceremony officially began.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun finally calmed down, they sat in adjacent seats in the corner and listened to the speech made by the president of Google on the stage.

After listening for a while, Qin Ke couldn't help leaning closer to Ning Qingyun's cute little ear, and said in a low voice: "There are always some people in China who brag about how free and beautiful foreign technology companies are, but after listening to the speech of the president, it's very different from us. There is no difference in the speeches of domestic leaders, they all follow the same routine.”

Ning Qingjun pursed her lips and snickered, letting Qin Ke play with his little hand in a bored manner.

The girl's little hands are soft and boneless, with fair and delicate skin, like extremely smooth suet nephrite, especially the little fingers are thin and soft, and they are particularly comfortable to hold, making people reluctant to let go when playing with them.

Qin Ke repeatedly bent and straightened Ning Qingyun's little finger in different orders. Ning Qingyun was tickled by him, and couldn't help but coquettishly said: "You still play Morse code with my fingers?"

"Smart." Qin Ke was delighted. Sure enough, it would be fun to have a girlfriend who is good at mathematics. If you find an ordinary liberal arts girl, you must not understand what he is doing, and just stare stupidly.

Qin Ke felt that playing these small games with Ning Qingyun was much more interesting than listening to the clichés on the stage. He whispered, "See if you can understand what I'm 'writing'?"

Ning Qingjun closed her eyes, and concentrated on feeling the strength and distance of Qin Ke's gentle kneading on her little fingers. Soon, a layer of water and shyness appeared in her eyes, and a large amount of water appeared on her small face. Blushing, she bit her red lip, stretched out her other empty hand, and pinched Qin Ke's waist from behind.

"Bad guy, can you stop being such a hooligan?"

Qin Ke blinked innocently: "I said cherries are very delicious, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Ning Qingjun rolled her eyes at him with her beautiful red phoenix eyes with a blushing face. It's okay to say this normally, but the problem is that you said the same thing last night!

"No... I won't play with you anymore." Ning Qingyun shyly withdrew her little hand, Qin Ke was amused by the charming charm of her white eyes, and his breathing speeded up a bit. changes, but now there is indeed a touch of charming charm between every frown and smile.

Qin Ke quickly grabbed it and said with a smile: "Come again, I will be very serious this time."

Ning Qingyun didn't really want to pull it back. Seeing that he was holding it tightly, she suppressed her heartbeat and continued to translate his "password" with her eyes closed. Soon she blinked her eyes in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "This sentence is translated, it seems to be an ancient poem 'Lonely pity for the grass that grows by the side of the stream'?"

Qin Ke suppressed a smile and nodded.

Seeing him laughing strangely, Ning Qingyun guessed that this line of poetry was not the meaning in the poetry appreciation that she usually understood, but had some special purpose, but she was too simple, and she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time .

Knowing that this is probably a special meaning that makes people blush, but Ning Qingyun was really curious, so she pinched Qin Ke lightly, and whispered: "Quickly tell me what you mean."

"Actually, if you want to explain, you need to add the following sentence." Qin Ke approached her cute little ear and explained in a low voice.

Ning Qingyun's blushing little face became even hotter, this time even her little ears were red, she bit her red lips and stared at Qin Ke fiercely: "You scoundrel, I won't dare to look directly at this from now on. Two lines of poetry."

Being teased by this villain in such a public place always makes her shy but also inexplicably stimulated and her heart beat faster. The girl lowered her eyes and wanted to withdraw her little hand, but Qin Ke held it tightly again, so she had no choice but to hold it. Ji Ji rolled his eyes over him, looking charming and cute.

Qin Ke continued to tease his sweet-skinned and cute girlfriend with the Moore password with a smile on his face. In less than 10 minutes, the speech on the stage finally came to an end, and it officially entered the announcement of the selection results.

The sweet interaction between Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun is over, and both of them are a little nervous.The country has made great efforts to support the two of them to go abroad to participate in this academic report meeting, just hoping that the two of them can win a big prize and win glory for the country.

Although the two felt that the probability of not winning the award today was relatively small, they also knew that it was difficult to guarantee fairness and justice in the awards. Who would dare to guarantee 100% that they would win the award?

In case of not getting the award, it would be a bit embarrassing to see Jiang Dong's elders.

Soon, the host returned to the stage, holding the selection list in his hand.

According to international practice, awards are announced from small to large.

The first to be announced was the New Horizons Prize in Physics.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were not candidates for this award, so they were a little calm, but they also listened carefully.

Both of them are interested in developing into the field of physics, so they naturally have to care about the international trend of attention in the subdivision of physics.

This year's "Physical New Horizons Award" has three awards, which were awarded to one individual winner and two team winners. Their research directions are high-precision electronic and magnetic measurements, electromagnetic observation of gravitational wave sources and neutron star collisions The new phase theory of non-equilibrium quantum matter, including time crystals, all belong to the very advanced and new category of experimental physics and condensed matter physics, and all of them are more or less related to quantum mechanics.

Even Qin Ke, who has reached the professional level in physics, doesn't know much about the above three aspects, but both of them have heard the report about time crystals two days ago.The so-called time crystal is a theory of quantum mechanics, which realizes eternal motion with the support of its own perpetual motion mechanism, and belongs to a kind of quantum energy substance in nature.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other. It seems that today's physics community still pays the most attention to condensed matter physics, especially the level of quantum mechanics.

Immediately after the announcement of the "New Horizons in Mathematics Award", Professor Thomson of Puda won a place by virtue of overcoming the "Worsh Conjecture". In addition, two mathematicians from Eagle Country and Canada won Algebraic number theory and analytic geometry have made outstanding contributions and won the other two places.

So far, the winners of the six New Vision Awards have been announced, and the bonus is US$10, which is authorized by head, that is, everyone can get this amount of bonus.

This session also added a "Mariam Mirzakhani New Frontier Award", which will only be awarded to three female mathematicians who have received a Ph.D. and have outstanding academic achievements. Three female associate professors in the University, MIT Department of Mathematics won.

When presenting the Mathematics New Horizons Award and the Mariam Mirzakhani New Frontier Award, many people secretly glanced at Ning Qingyun, as if they hoped that Ning Qingyun would win these two awards, so it might be the case With one more place for the Mathematical Breakthrough Award, they will have more or less a chance.

The domestic media held their breath nervously, for fear of hearing the name "Ning Qingyun".

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also held each other's hands slightly.

Fortunately, as everyone expected, this year's judges followed their hearts and did not award these consolation prizes to Ning Qingyun.Obviously, Ning Qingyun's name will appear at the end.

After the nine consolation prizes were over, the next stage was the real heavyweight award - the Scientific Breakthrough Award. The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became tense, and the venue was quiet.

Under the tense and even anxious eyes of countless people, the Life Science Award and the Fundamental Physics Award were announced successively.

The number of recipients of the Life Science Award is the largest, including one individual and two teams with a total of six people.

The Fundamental Physics Award is also awarded to the big cow in the quantum field, but there is only one person.This big bull alone enjoys a bonus of 300 million.

"Let me announce the winners of this year's Mathematical Breakthrough Prize, they are—"

As if to whet everyone's appetite, the host who read the list prolonged the syllables, and almost everyone held their breath.

"Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun from Qingmu University in Xiaguo, in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the field of number theory! Congratulations to them, they have set a new record for the minimum age of the Mathematics Breakthrough Award! Please invite the two youngest mathematicians to come on stage Accept the prize!"

Countless flashlights and cameras were aimed at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in an instant, and thunderous applause resounded throughout the audience.

Qin Ke and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and they both felt tiny beads of sweat in the palms of each other's hands.

Finally, I didn't make a trip in vain, and I won glory for the country!
Both of them won the first important award in the international mathematics community, the Mathematical Breakthrough Award, and together they took home a prize of 300 million US dollars!

Under countless flashing lights, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, wearing bright red national flag brooches, stood on the podium and received the golden medal, certificate of honor and two 150 million-dollar certificates from the Vice President of Facebook. Zoom in on the check.

1 minutes later, this latest news appeared on the news homepages of major international academic media——

"This year's Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics has been announced. Young mathematicians Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun from Xia Guo jointly won the award and shared a prize of 300 million US dollars! They have also become the youngest winners of the Breakthrough Prize in mathematics!"

And Xia Guo's media is more simple and rude——

"Qin Kening and Qingyun overwhelmed mathematicians around the world and won the US$300 million Mathematical Breakthrough Prize!"

At this time, it was still past seven o'clock in the morning in Xia Guo, and many people were on their way to work, especially the commuters on the bus and subway, who were reading the news boredly.
The media is too good at making headlines, the bright red 300 million US dollars, converted back to the currency of the country, that is 2000 million yuan!
Many self-media and public slogans are not surprising and endlessly type a lot of headlines:

"Relying entirely on your own strength to become a multi-millionaire, I ask you whether you are convinced or not!" "

"The freshmen have not yet arrived, they have entered the ranks of multi-millionaires! "

"There is a house of gold in the book, Qin Kening Qingyun proved this old saying with examples! "

Of course, if they knew that the extremely low-key lime technology belonged to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, they would probably drop their jaws even more, and then replace the word "ten million" with "billion"...

Not to mention all kinds of congratulations and celebrations on the Internet, Qin Ke and the two have no time to pay attention, and the two have been surrounded by media reporters again.

A Western media reporter asked: "Mr. Qin, Ms. Ning, it is said that the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton intends to extend an olive branch to you and invite you to conduct mathematics research there. I wonder if you will agree?"

Qin Ke was stunned, looked at the smiling old Mr. Faltins in the distance, shook his head and said: "We have not received this invitation, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is a holy place for mathematics that we have always longed for, and we would be happy to come if there is a chance Visiting and conducting academic exchanges there, but we all have to go back to China to continue our university studies, let alone work abroad.”

Faltins returned a regretful smile, and raised his glass to the two of them from afar.

Another reporter asked: "I heard that the two are majoring in physics. May I ask whether you will continue to focus on the field of mathematics or physics in the future?"

"Mathematics is the theoretical basis of science, and physics is the bridge connecting theory and application. Therefore, in addition to the 'hail conjecture', the two of us will probably start a long-term research project."

The reporter cheered up. This seemed to be a big news, so he asked: "What is the subject?"

"Existence and smoothness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations."

The reporters were startled for a moment, and then frantically recorded it.

Qin Ke rubbed his nose, and was obviously shocked when he saw Ning Qingyun's beautiful eyes widening beside him.

It is estimated that there will be another one in tomorrow's news.

The youngest of the two breakthrough prize winners in mathematics, will challenge another millennium mathematical physics problem.
