From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 193 Cole Number Theory Award!
In the next few days, Zhou Yi heard that Professor Liu Gang from Huadong Normal University hadn't returned yet, so he directly made an appointment to meet.

Zhou Yi went to the dating place and asked Mudan to find out the information of Professor Liu Gang.

I have to say that this Professor Liu Gang is a very inspirational existence. He was admitted to Shangjing University from Shuangfei, and then went to the University of Minnesota, a foreign country, to study for a Ph.D.
After graduation, he went to the University of California, Berkeley to continue his postdoctoral research,

In 2017, he won the Sloan Research Award issued by the U.S. Sloan Foundation. In 2020, won the second national "Scientific Exploration Award".

In July 2022, he will give an invited report at the International Conference of Mathematicians (ICM), the largest and most important international mathematician.

Its famous conclusion solved several important conjectures in geometry proposed by Mr. Zhou Yi, that is, Qiu Chengtong.

Is a rare talent.

Not long after, Zhou Yi met Liu Gang.

Zhou Yi said very enthusiastically:
"Professor Liu, good afternoon."

Professor Gang Liu said:

"Good afternoon, Professor Zhou."

After greeting each other politely, Zhou Yi went straight to the point and said:
"Does Professor Liu know about the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study, which is already under construction?"

Liu Gang nodded and said:
"Of course I know. In the academic circle, this is basically a well-known thing. With the support of the central government, the support of the local government, and Professor Zhou Yi, you personally take the lead, at least it can be regarded as a sensation in the mathematics circle. gone."

Zhou Yi said:

"Then is Professor Liu interested in coming to the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study?"

Liu Gang said bluntly:
"Of course, I could have gone back to Peking University. I did my master's degree at Shangjing University, but I chose Huadong Normal University in the end. I think Professor Zhou knows some of the reasons."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"The Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study is similar to the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. There will be no such messy things.

And I also invited some winners of this year's Sloan Research Award, as well as other mathematicians who have participated in the ICM conference to give reports.

Our team must be the most elite team, but also a very young team, the average age will not exceed 45 years old. "

There was a gleam in Liu Gang's eyes, and he said:

"In the future, the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study must become the top mathematics center in China, and Shuimu University and Shangjing University may not be able to catch up."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"Open up the situation a bit. Our first goal is the Asian Math Center, which must at least exceed the level of mathematics in the island countries."

"With you here, the future must be a super mathematics center, even comparable to those old-fashioned mathematics holy places."

Liu Gang has long decided to hang out with Zhou Yi. When he participated in the 2022 ICM conference, Liu Gang made up his mind.

It's only until now that there's been a chance.

The reason why Liu Gang has not been there is that he was waiting for Zhou Yi to come to him.

When the Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute was established, it was impossible for Zhou Yi not to poach people everywhere.

"Haha, okay, that's it, the Yuzhou government has started to build the Advanced Research Institute, and it is being built at the fastest speed and with the best quality. The investment is very large, and the first year of establishment may be far away. Super imaginative."

In order to reassure Liu Gang, Zhou Yi revealed a little inside information and said.

"Okay, thank you Professor Zhou for the invitation."

Liu Gang replied very politely.

"Well, it's such a happy decision."

After dinner, Zhou Yi happily returned to his office.

So far, in addition to Liu Gang, there is also Huang Jingying, and now talking about Ding Jian, Shan Peng and others, the prototype can barely be pulled up.

While looking at various materials, Zhou Yi muttered:
"Using the mathematical basis of Zhou's geometry as a theory, it is estimated that the time can be shortened to 3 minutes, but 3 minutes is too long.

But it may be very abnormal for civilian use, but it is a bit stretched for aerospace.

I still have to study and study. I can't change the materials, and I can't draw a lottery. "

For several days, Zhou Yi was building a new mathematical model. It was not until April 4 that Zhou Yi boarded the flight to Ugly Country.

After several turnarounds, Zhou Yi arrived at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study again.

After visiting Deligne and Mirno, Zhou Yi found Xu Chengyang.

This time I came to Ugly Country, receiving the award is a trivial matter, the main thing is to find a way to get Xu Chengyang back.

Not long after, Zhou Yi saw him in Xu Chengyang's office.

Seeing Zhou Yi, Xu Chengyang looked confused and said:

"Professor Zhou? Why did you come to my place? There is no notification yet."

Zhou Yi said:

"Hey, I have something to do with you."

Xu Chengyang touched his head and said:
"Huh? You are a big star in the mathematics world now, and you still have something to do with me? What can I help you with? I'm still reading the proof of your Goldbach conjecture paper."

"You did a great job. You actually proved my brother's guess. Some old men in the country are afraid that you will be mad at you. A word of yours in the domestic mathematics circle may be more effective than some people."

This will turn Zhou Yi into a dazed face, and you, Xu Chengyang, will become a riddle man at some point.

Some old men and some people, do you dare to say it in detail, so that I can deal with it.

Gan!
If I don't say it, I have to be on guard.

Zhou Yi said:

"This time I came to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, mainly to find something for you, and to get an award by the way."

Xu Chengyang said:
"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I also ate a lot of free food from you. I knew that the hot pot back then was not so good. Now you want me to return it. God Zhou, you are really scheming."

Zhou Yi looked embarrassed and said:
"Actually, I'm just looking for you to have a hotpot together. It just so happens that my senior brother Tan Mingming is also there. It's so crowded. Seriously, you know about the upcoming Institute for Advanced Study in our hometown Yuzhou, right?"

Xu Chengyang reacted instantly, and said with a smile:
"Of course I know. I heard that you took the lead, with the full support of the central court and the local government. Why, do you want to invite me back?"

Zhou Yi said very sincerely:
"That's right, it can be regarded as contributing to your hometown. There is not so much intrigue there. With your previous connections, plus the support of the local government and the central court, you will definitely have nothing to say about your status. As for the atmosphere of scientific research, it's all A scientific research institution composed of young people is also excellent."

Zhou Yi then announced the list of invited people.

Xu Chengyang sighed:

"It's hard to imagine that you are only 19 years old, and you have already done so much work. Whether it is mathematics or the construction of your hometown, I am not as good as you,
Alas, I am already 40 years old, and I am not as courageous as you. "

Zhou Yi said:

"It's not too late now, as long as you nod, our Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute will have more strength."

Zhou Yi was very familiar with Xu Chengyang's resume, so he didn't need Mudan to apply for him.

Just the first Cole Algebra Award among Chinese people has already explained everything.

At the beginning, there was a 30% chance of winning the Philippine Award. Unfortunately, there are too many strong players at the same level, and it is really far behind.

But it is also a strong player in the first echelon under the Philippine Award.

Xu Chengyang sighed and said:
"Okay, I agree. After the establishment of Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute is successful, you can call me directly."

Zhou Yi knew that Xu Chengyang would agree, if possible, who would want to leave their hometown.

The golden generation of Shangjing University, Zhou Yi said get one.

Xu Chengyang said:
"Since we have to do it, it's the best way to do it. I will contact Zhang Wei. He is from Shu, both of us from Sichuan and Chongqing. He can be brought back if he wants to."

Zhou Yi was very happy when he heard it, and said:

"Okay, I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest. You can contact the rest of the golden generation of Shangjing University, and they can all come back to Yuzhou."

Xu Chengyang smiled bitterly and said:

"What is the golden generation? When I came here, I realized how backward our country's mathematics level was. Even a small country like Nanyue has mathematicians like Wu Baozhu. No,
There are no Wolf Prizes or Abel Prizes, and I don’t think they are worthy of the words “Golden Generation”. "

Zhou Yi comforted:
"This is not your problem, nor is it our Great Xia country's problem, but that we started too late. Since Kang Mazi rejected Leibniz, we are doomed to fall behind.
At least you fought for us and raised our country's mathematics level to a high level, didn't you? "

Kang Mazi was known as the sage king of Qing Dynasty. The descendants of Kang Mazi refused when they saw Kang Mazi. How dare they set up an Academy of Sciences?

I'm afraid it's not a direct sentence that the ancestral system should not be changed lightly.

Xu Chengyang looked at Zhou Yi and said softly:
"Why do mathematicians who know our Daxia nationality like to call you Zhou Shen?"

Zhou Yi was confused:? .

Can this involve me?
"Because you are the hope for the rise of mathematics in our Great Xia Kingdom, because your mathematical achievements are amazing, because you proved Goldbach's conjecture, you are better than us, even if you are Mr. Qiu's disciple, Mr. Qiu went to Beijing with us There are grievances and grievances in the university, but we believe in you."

Zhou Yi: . .

See what you said, am I that powerful?

Whoops!
"Actually, you're not bad either."

Zhou Yi said.

Xu Chengyang said:
"God Zhou, in fact, you can also learn from Mr. Qiu and recruit some foreigners to go to Yuzhou."

Zhou Yi said:

"That's right, I also have this plan. I told Maynard and Harold Hoofgott the second proof method of Goldbach's conjecture. I will invite them to teach at Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute in the future. I don't think they will Refuse, hehe."

Xu Chengyang murmured in his heart, he is 19 years old?
The scheming is as deep as an old monster, and I guess the second proof method is also given, which is really generous.

However, Xu Chengyang also saw Zhou Yi's determination to run the Institute for Advanced Study well.

Otherwise, this method will tell others?
Xu Chengyang said:
"Okay, that's it."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Zhou Yi didn't say much, got up and left.

Why not set up a Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study with an all-Chinese class.

Zhou Yi felt that it was unnecessary, and it was wise to gather the talents of the world and use them.

Which research holy place in the world does not do this.

The next day, Zhou Yi woke up from the hotel and then arrived at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

The award ceremony was held in Lecture Hall No. [-], which Zhou Yi was familiar with.

The grand ceremony was countless times more luxurious than before.

Almost all the people present were Princeton students, as well as media reporters from various parties.

The moderator was Fellman, the director of the Department of Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Fairman is also a winner of the Fields Medal, and a genius who became famous at a young age, but in front of Zhou Yi, he has to be eclipsed.

"Zhou Yi, congratulations, you have become the first person from Great Xia to win the Cole Prize in Number Theory."

Fairman said very solemnly.

In fact, Zhang Yitang, a native Chinese, also won this award, but his nationality is from an ugly country, not a Daxia country, so Zhou Yi is the first person from a Daxia nationality to win this award.

Facing countless cameras and the media, Zhou Yi said:
"I believe that I will not be the last one. My senior sister and my apprentices may also be able to win this award."

Fairman quipped:

"Oh, then you have to train your apprentice carefully, no matter what, you have to make a big number theory result."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"Wait and see."

Xiao Wanyi is studying the Zhou's conjecture proposed by Mr. Zhou Haizhong. Once it proves successful, she must have a chance to win this award.

As for his apprentices, at present, Shen Yiyu, Zhang Dugang, and Zheng Keyu all have a chance.

Especially Shen Yiyu's ruthless and paranoid character made Zhou Yi startled when he saw it.

"Haha, champagne, open your exclusive champagne."

Fairman said.

Deligne, Mirno and others watched from the audience,

"He's really young and talented."

Deligne said.

"Yes."

Suddenly, many media took pictures.

In China, publicity has already begun.

"Congratulations to Yu University alumnus Zhou Yi for being the first to win the Cole Prize in Number Theory with Daxia nationality! "

Mizuki University also publicized it.

"Congratulations to Professor Zhou Yi of our school for being the first to win the Cole Prize in Number Theory with Daxia nationality! "

The Yuzhou imperial court also promoted it on various platforms,
"Congratulations to Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study and Yuzhou Outstanding Talent Zhou Yi for winning the Cole Prize in Number Theory! "

The gold content of the Cole Prize in Number Theory is not low. For Zhou Yi, it is as important as the Veblen Prize in Geometry and the Ramanujan Prize.

This award represents leaders in the field of number theory.

Any one of the three awards, in the Great Xia Kingdom, as long as they are not too monstrous, they can be selected as academicians of the Academy of Sciences.

You can become a full professor in any research holy place in the world.

You can see its gold content.

So far, this is Zhou Yi's fifth world-class award.

Mathematics grand slam, Zhou Yi said that it is in progress!
Zhou Yi didn't know anything about what was going on in the country at the moment, he only knew that Fehrman said loudly:

"I think, unless the rest of the mathematics awards are because you don't want to admit your own gold content, I think Zhou Yi will win all the awards in the mathematics world."

Xu Chengyang in the audience looked fiercely and murmured:
"I'm looking forward to the day when the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study will be established."

Tan Mingming on the side said:

"Maybe it will really become the world's super mathematics center, the super mathematics holy place that every mathematics person yearns for, and there is no one."

　A little bit cavin, sorry sorry.
