From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 179 Special Sloan Research Award
Cai Licheng is a professor at Rutgers State University in New Jersey. He does not belong to the lineage of Shangjing University. His research direction of mathematics is different from that of Zhou Yi.

His research focuses on probability theory, especially the asymptotic behavior of large interacting particle systems, and the interplay between partial differential equations (PDEs), stochastic PDEs, and integrable probabilities.

Zhou Yi also learned a little bit when he came, and the only person who was somewhat close to his direction was Huang Jingying, the little fat man.

Jingying Huang is currently an assistant professor at The Ohio State University.

Everyone chatted while eating, Zhou Yi also tentatively asked Huang Jingying, saying:
"Professor Huang, are you interested in coming to our Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study?"

Huang Jingying said:
"God Zhou, please allow me to call you that. When I was studying, people used to call me Huang Shen, but since you were born, the golden generation of Peking University, and the favorites of all kinds of mathematics, all feel that they are not worthy of being called a god. Only you It is."

Everyone present, except Zhou Yi, all gasped.
So licking!

Those people from Peking University looked a little ugly, but what this little fat man said was true, and there was no reason to refute it.

How to refute?

He created two branches of mathematics by himself and solved so many big mathematical conjectures. It is really not too much to be called Zhou Shen.

When Zhou Yi heard this, it seemed that this little fat man was going to follow him.

Otherwise, it would be unscientific to brag like this.

I saw Huang Jingying said:
"How dare I refuse Zhou God's invitation. After three years, I hope Zhou God will send me an offer."

Zhou Yi was overjoyed and said:

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words, so let's make it so. I will declare for you the treatment that you should have. In the future, the minimum will be outstanding young people, and the higher you will look at your achievements."

Zhou Yi complained that he had finally dug out a talent with potential.

If there is no potential, the Sloan Foundation will not issue this award. The main purpose of this award is to award young people with more potential.

Huang Jingying is obviously a person with more potential.

Moreover, this fat man's research direction is very similar to his own and Mr. Qiu's. If he communicates more at that time, he may not be a young outstanding student.

Huang Jingying was the first to take refuge in Zhouyi, and Zhouyi would also promise great profits, to set an example for Chinese and mathematicians all over the world. I, Zhouyi, will never treat anyone harshly.

And Huang Jingying herself thinks the same way, I'm the first to hang out with you, you must show something in Zhou Yi.

Domestic outstanding young people are already doing pretty well, but don’t expect things like academicians to be controlled by some old guys.

Zhou Yi may not be able to be selected steadily.

Wasn't Ms. Yan the one at the beginning?

Except for the three people from Shangjing University present, the other three people had different thoughts.

Perhaps it is possible to form a super mathematics center in the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Study, at least in Asia, it may be the only one.

Not long after dinner, Zhou Yi and Tan Mingming began to return to their rooms.

"Junior brother, you have a skill, you are young, and your skills are perfect."

Tan Mingming said.

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"It's just a little trick. I learned it from a certain liberal arts dean."

After Zhou Yi returned to his room, he lay down and went to sleep after washing.

The remaining six people have different ideas, at least the pie painted by Zhou Yi is very big.

Comparable to scientific research institutions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, Zhou Yi really dares to say.

There are good things in foreign countries, and there are good things in China, and as Zhou Yi said, the domestic environment is gradually improving.

The next day, the awards ceremony in the auditorium was held as scheduled.

Originally, the Sloan Research Award was not so grand, but this year, it is surprisingly grand, which is a bit unexpected.

When chanting Zhou Yi's name, countless people looked at Zhou Yi,

The youngest rising star in the mathematics world, whose light makes the younger generation dare not look directly at it.

I saw the foundation host said very solemnly:
"One of the reasons why this awards ceremony is so solemn is because of Professor Zhou, Bill's Theorem of Changes, 3n+1 Theorem of Changes, Kepler's Theorem of Changes, Newton's Theorem of Changes and Hilbert's Eighteen Questions.
All of them have shown his talent. The key is that he is only 19 years old, he is still young, and he has unlimited possibilities.

The birth of Zhou's geometry and Zhou's analytic method both means that this mathematical genius is using his actions to tell the mathematics world that a young mathematics king is growing up.

I think it is our honor to be able to present this award to Professor Zhou Yi, and I also thank Professor Zhou Yi for coming to the Commonwealth to accept the award.

This is a special medal we specially prepared for the professor. "

The special medals, the people present expressed their resentment.

This award has been awarded for decades, and the first time a special medal was issued, it was the sun coming out from the west.

However, Cai Licheng, Gao Chao, and Chen Yuxin had different ideas, and Zhou Yi said that he was about to prove Goldbach's conjecture, which gave them the idea of ​​changing jobs.

Some people want to follow Zhouyi as early as possible, and when the time comes, there will always be preferential treatment based on this favor;

Some also thought that three years later, Zhou Yi won the Philippine Award, and his mathematics prestige reached its peak, and he was following Zhou Yi.

Three years, soon, they can afford to wait.

Zhou Yi took a gold medal and said very politely:

"Thank you for your approval. I will use Zhou's analytical method to solve more number theory problems. I also hope that like-minded friends in geometry and number theory will contact me. Maybe we will inspire more ideas."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, many people applauded, especially those from Shuimu University, who were all alumni from Shuimu University.

Not long after, the awards ceremony continued, and there were many awards. These people belong to the young potential generation in their respective fields, and may be able to win the Turing Award, the Philippine Award, and the Nobel Prize in the future.

Tan Mingming said:

"I didn't expect that the foundation would be made a special gold medal by you. Those geniuses didn't have it back then. I still underestimated the influence of Bill's conjecture and 3n+1 conjecture. Although they don't have much effect on mathematics, they still Not as influential as Kepler's conjecture in the mathematics world,

But after all, these two number theory conjectures were popular in the whole country like Omega. "

Zhou Yi looked at the awards ceremony and said:
"Someone is coming for us."

The person in charge of the Sloan Foundation walked to Zhou Yi's side very enthusiastically, and said:
"Professor Zhou Yi, hello. We have a dinner tonight, and I sincerely invite you to attend."

Zhou Yi nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll go, just tell me the address."

"Ok."

After talking for a while, Zhou Yi returned to his hotel room.

All expenses for this meeting were paid by the Sloan Foundation.

Zhou Yi didn't have to pay a penny.

Not long after, Zhou Yi took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his special gold medal, and then posted on all social platforms at home and abroad:
[A gold medal specially awarded by the Sloan Research Award, I don’t know if I am the No. 1 in history, embarrassing, it looks like it is very valuable.

Any idea what this is all thanks to?That's right, it is the scientific research assistant, you are worth downloading. 】

After the Zhouyi update, I checked the comment area, and there were quite a few comments in just a few seconds.

[It's not Professor Zhou, don't brag, when will there be a special gold medal for the Sloan Research Award?Aren't you afraid of affecting your reputation by making fakes like this? 】

[We know that we won the Sloan Research Award, and it was awarded today, but this special gold medal is probably a fake news, right? 】

[Professor Zhou explained, what kind of award is this gold medal? I am already immune to Professor Zhou's various awards. After all, I have been a fan of Zhou Shenguo. 】

Zhou Yi looked confused, and selectively replied in a comment:

"? Look at the letters on it. This is really a special gold medal for the Sloan Research Award, which was awarded for the first time today."

【Yaoshou, Professor Zhou replied to me personally, no matter it is true or not, I believe it, I am now your brainless fan. 】

Zhou Yi scolded MMP, why didn't this group of people believe it.

Just when Zhou Yi was about to give up, senior officials of Yuzhou University, Shuimu University, and Yuzhou court reported one after another:
"Congratulations to Zhou Yixi, a 20th grade undergraduate alumnus of our school, for winning the special gold medal of the Sloan Research Award, No.1 in history! "

"Congratulations to Zhou Yixi, a professor of mathematics at our school, for winning the special gold medal of the Sloan Research Award! "

"Warm congratulations to Zhou Yi, a young talent from Yuzhou, for winning the Sloan Research Award. Congratulations hereby. "

The three articles went viral on the Internet in an instant, making everyone who was originally teased by Zhou Yi stunned.

[Speaking of Professor Zhou, it’s because I have shallow eyesight and lack of insight. I feel that Professor Zhou is inhaling European spirit, and I don’t fail in high mathematics. 】

[I guess the Sloan Research Award is afraid that Professor Zhou won't win the award, so it awards a special gold medal. I'm just a good guy, the history of every mathematics award is being broken by God Zhou. 】

[Professor Zhou is refreshing the minimum age for each award.And Yuzhou's high-level executives haven't spoken out yet, so it's just a sign. 】

[Not only that, the Twitter Sloan Foundation also made a special speech, everyone can go to Kangkang. 】

Zhou Yi read the comments for a while, and knew that this was to create momentum for himself. After all, the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study must have enough gimmicks.

For example, the Southern University of Science and Technology in Guangdong Province, behind the momentum and support of the local court, coupled with the leadership of many academicians, can develop very fast.

It is unimaginable that such a young public university ranks so high.

The high-level officials in Yuzhou obviously want to reproduce this miracle, and the high-level officials in Yuzhou feel that they have a unique advantage, that is, Zhouyi.

The banquet at night, as expected by Zhou Yi, was a group of people who came to drink Zhou Yi's wine, but except for the people from the foundation, Zhou Yi basically touched each other lightly and then took a sip.

If everyone had to take a sip, Zhou Yi felt that he would not be able to return to China until the day after tomorrow.

At this time, Chen Danqi, who was born in the Yao class of Shuimu University, said to Zhou Yi:

"Professor Zhou, we meet again. The last time you were in Princeton, you were still a PhD student."

Zhou Yi looked at Chen Danqi with some surprises. He didn't expect her to win the award, and said:
"Are you interested in returning to China with me to engage in artificial intelligence? My research direction is similar to yours, and it may be much faster than yours."

Chen Danqi is an undergraduate from Shuimu University and a Ph.D. from Stanford University.

A student of Christopher Manning, a master of natural language processing, Chen Danqi joined the Princeton NLP group in 19 years, and the most famous algorithm SyntaxNet was developed by Chen Danqi and his mentor.
Known as the world's most accurate natural language parser.

But with the advent of Zhouyi's scientific research assistants, the advanced level of their work is almost far behind that of Great Xia.

So Chen Danqi looked at Zhou Yi in embarrassment.

Originally thought that he was the world's top artificial intelligence powerhouse, but he never expected that Zhou Yi would be better than himself if he played casually.

Chen Danqi smiled bitterly and said:

"Zhou Shen, I don't have a partner in China, and you want to specialize in mathematics, I'm afraid you will be too busy then."

Facing Zhouyi's invitation, Chen Danqi could only decline.

Zhou Yi said:

"Don't worry, I'm your best partner. In addition, you will get the research funding and everything you need, and the treatment will definitely not be worse than the current one."

Zhou Yi is very persuasive. Chen Danqi was a gold medalist in the Informatics Olympiad back then. Zhou Yi is very aware of the value of this young lady.

"God Zhou, I."

She taught at Princeton University, of course, knew Zhou Yi's mathematical status in the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study.

If Zhou Yi stayed to teach there, he would definitely be the dean of the Institute for Advanced Study in the future, but now he is returning to Shuimu University, which makes it difficult for Chen Danqi to accept for a while.

Zhou Yi said:

"I am planning to establish an advanced research institute in Yuzhou. At the beginning, I plan to establish two research institutes, namely the Institute of Mathematics and the Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

At that time, you will be the director of the artificial intelligence institute, and with the support of the Yuzhou court, I believe you can develop better.

In addition, the technology in my hands may completely surpass yours, and your results will be useless in the end. "

In the end, Zhou Yi not only gave the conditions, but also directly made Chen Danqi give up. He has no future in Princeton, and he has to follow me, Zhou Yi, to engage in artificial intelligence.

"God Zhou, let me think about it. It's not easy for me to go back to my country now. You know my direction. You have to find a legitimate reason."

Chen Danqi smiled wryly.

Zhou Yi said:

"It's not in a hurry. I hope that within two or three years, we can become partners."

"it is good."

Chen Danqi said.

At this time Zhou Yi said again:

"Introduce me to two other alumni. I'm also a master's student at Shuimu University. It's not too much to recommend."

Chen Danqi said:
"Good Zhou God."

Zhou Yi is also going to get in touch with the other two computer masters first, and dig into the wall if he can. If he can dig, he will dig.

After some hard work, Fang Fei and Gu Quanquan were also forced by Zhou Yi's enthusiasm, and temporarily agreed.

As for whether to go back later, let's look at Zhou Yi's achievements in computers.

Anyway, don't offend Zhou Yi first, the power of turning from mathematics to artificial intelligence is simply terrifying.

No one wants their direction to be blocked by a genius, let alone a math genius like Zhou Yi.

With their verbal agreement, Zhou Yi felt that this trip was worthwhile.

In terms of mathematics, Huang Jingying, a potential chubby paper, was dug out, and several other people were also very excited. For the direction of computer, it would be better if Chen Danqi could be dug out. Even if Chen Danqi was not dug out, one of the other two would

The prototype of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of the Institute for Advanced Study can also be established.

The next day, Zhou Yi, who had gained a lot, returned home with a special medal and a lot of money.

The team experiment led by Academician Zhang of Dongda University is already in full swing, but it also encountered a bottleneck.
The combination of nano-silica and SBS still needs to be experimented and adjusted. They feel that some understanding of the theory is not in place, and they need to ask Zhou Yi.

However, Zhou Yi's idea allowed them to see the emergence of a very profitable patent.

At that time, Zhou Yi is likely to become a billionaire directly and realize the freedom of wealth.
