When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 237 Deligne’s shock and conflict

"We meet again!"

Deligne had a warm and enthusiastic smile on her face. After seeing Wang Donglai, she took the initiative to go up and give Wang Donglai a hug.

As a mathematician, Deligne's face is still very famous.

At this time, the peninsula was on the eve of a global conference of mathematicians, so there were many scholars and professors at the airport.

They all recognized Deligne and saw this scene.

Shock!

The more people know about Deligne's identity, the more shocked they are.

Because based on Deligne's current status in the mathematics community, there are not many people who can specifically pick him up at the airport.

And someone as young as Wang Donglai should not exist at all.

"Wang, what are you studying recently? I noticed that you haven't published a paper for a long time. I think with your ability, you shouldn't be unable to achieve results. Then there is only one reason. You are busy with other things. ”

Wang Donglai did not fully respond, but said something realistically.

"Fortunately, luckily, the problem has been solved."

Now, after hearing what Deligne said, Wang Donglai was even more sure of this.

He was unskilled, but the sincerity in his tone was not concealed at all.

Deligne introduced the people around him to Wang Donglai.

"Now, many people are expecting you to prove more mathematical problems and lead the subject of mathematics further."

soon.

Because he felt that Deligne was probably worried that he would be affected by the news he had received before.

After Blair said this, Deligne explained and said: "Professor Blair is a scholar who studies this area. He wants to discuss this area of ​​knowledge with you."

Professor Blair and Professor Deligne were both stunned for a moment, subconsciously feeling that they had heard wrong.

"Hello, I'm happy too!"

After pondering for a moment, he said aloud: "Professor Blair, Professor Deligne, to tell you the truth, my research direction this time is in number theory. It is a very valuable mathematical problem, but I have not published a paper yet. ”

As for Yang Wanpeng and Hanhua, they left long ago.

Hearing what Deligne said, Wang Donglai was stunned for a moment, a little surprised.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Professor Black from our Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton."

Wang Donglai also greeted Deligne with a smile.

Deligne and Wang Donglai sat down in a quiet cafe.

However, after hearing the words of Professor Blair and Professor Deligne, Wang Donglai looked a little strange.

Deligne did not ask Wang Donglai what the research project was, but praised Wang Donglai highly.

"Although the previous academic world cannot be said to be a pool of stagnant water, it is indeed not very interesting. The ABC conjecture and Hodge conjecture you proved have a profound impact on the academic world."

After sitting down, Deligne asked directly.

Professor Black naturally knew Wang Donglai, so he stretched out his hand and shook it.

A smile suddenly appeared on Deligne's face, with a hint of expectation, and he said loudly: "Okay, I am looking forward to your paper."

After a brief hello, the three of them walked outside.

"Professor Wang Donglai, I have read your paper and your study experience. I would like to ask, what do you think about number theory?"

But something so impossible happened just before their eyes.

"Since you appeared, the mathematics community has become lively."

"Hi, nice to meet you!"

"We old guys are already old, and we will need you young people to step up in the future!"

One thing to say is that Deligne's eloquence is not very good. When he said these words, he was obviously a little unskilled.

At this time, Professor Blair on the side spoke.

His words were extremely confident and he was full of confidence in Wang Donglai.

"Thank you Professor Deligne for your compliment. The development of mathematics requires the joint efforts of everyone, and I am just one of them."

He has also come from this age and knows that a person's academic peak is at this time.

boom!
It was like a huge boulder smashed into the lake.

"Professor Deligne!"

He had never thought that Deligne would be waiting for him at the airport. When he saw Deligne, he was both touched and dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, Wang Donglai was not going to hide it from Deligne, so he said, "Professor Deligne, I have been researching a topic recently."

They are self-aware and know that the gap between themselves and Deligne and Wang Donglai is too far, so naturally they will not get closer.

This is indeed the case. Deligne has already seen Wang Donglai's academic performance.

"How can this be!?"

"Could what you said be true?"

Professor Blair looked in disbelief. He was not unaware of Wang Donglai's academic talent.

But after he raised this question, Wang Donglai said that he had proved a mathematical problem in this area.

This naturally gave him a great shock.

If he didn't know Wang Donglai well and knew that there was no grudge between the two, Blair might have thought that Wang Donglai was just amusing himself.

After the initial shock, Blair came to his senses.

He looked at Wang Donglai with extremely bright eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in his expression.

"Professor Wang, if what you said is true, wouldn't it be a mathematical problem in number theory..."

Although Blair did not finish what he said, Wang Donglai and Deligne both understood what Blair had left to say.

"I really saw you right!"

"To be honest, I feel a little bit envious now. I envy your academic talent. It would be great if you showed up earlier, or it would be great if I could be thirty years younger."

"I believe that in a few years, you will have a place in the field of mathematics around the world. By then, you will reach the top and win the mathematics crown."

Deligne thought about it with a hint of emotion in his tone, extremely determined that this scene would happen.

Blair also nodded subconsciously and said, "That's true. Professor Wang, your academic talent exceeds my imagination and other people's estimates of you. Many people have underestimated you."

"The two professors have received awards, and I only have a small achievement."

Wang Donglai's expression remained calm and indifferent, and he did not become arrogant because of this.

And this kind of performance made the two of them look up to Wang Donglai.

……

After parting ways with Deligne, Wang Donglai returned to the hotel. As soon as they returned to the hotel, Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua came up to Wang Dong and asked him about something.

That is, people from the Chinese Mathematical Society are also here. The two of them are going to meet with domestic scholars and professors.

The Global Congress of Mathematicians is organized by the International Union of Mathematicians.

The International Mathematical Union is joined by various national mathematical societies and has more than 70 member countries.

The Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union is elected at its highest authority, the Congress of Member States of the International Mathematical Union. Because of the different sizes and mathematical development of each participating country, it is divided into five categories: I, II, III, IV and V. , correspondingly, the number of voting representatives is also 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
There are only ten countries in Level V, namely Bald Eagle, China, Island Country, Gaul, Germany, Israel, Polar Bear, Great Britain, Canada, and Italy.

There is also a member of China on the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union this time, which shows that China’s academic status is not low.

But many people know that the reason for this is that the International Mathematical Union accepted our country because of the huge contributions made by the older generation of mathematicians, coupled with its huge population and national strength.

And this is not achieved solely by academic ability.

It is precisely because of this that after the legal seats in IMU were restored in 1986, an arrangement was made to separate the five voting rights, leaving three votes for the mainland, two votes for Baodao, and one vote for Hong Kong.

Therefore, many people are extremely looking forward to Wang Donglai winning the top international mathematics award.

In this way, the voice of Chinese mathematics in the international field of mathematics can be promoted, and the status and value of Chinese mathematics in the International Mathematical Union can be enhanced.

As a member of the Chinese Mathematicians Association, Wang Donglai did not attend the association's year-end summary, but he was still one of his own, especially when he went abroad.

After hearing what Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua said, Wang Donglai agreed to their invitation to meet with domestic scholars and professors attending the conference.

After packing his things, Wang Donglai and Hanhua went to another hotel.

There were not a few people attending this conference in China. When many people saw Wang Donglai's appearance, they all smiled and said congratulations in advance.

Because in their view, Wang Donglai is already a sure shot at winning the Fields Medal.

Wang Donglai responded calmly to everyone's congratulations.

Soon, after chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.

While going downstairs, Wang Donglai met a group of people.

It was the scholars and professors from the island country, including Taro Watanabe.

"Watanabe-kun, I heard that when you were being interviewed in China, you were not very polite to the young professor from China!"

A professor with a sly eyebrow among the scholars from the island nation turned his eyes when he saw Wang Dong coming, and said this to Taro Watanabe.

Being so provoked, Watanabe Taro naturally couldn't pretend to be mute.

With a sneer, he walked out of the crowd and stopped Wang Donglai.
Yang Wanpeng and Han Hua did not expect that someone would stop them and others.

The leader, Taro Watanabe, was even recognized by the two of them.

"Watanabe, what do you want to do?"

Han Hua's eyes flashed with anger and he said sternly.

"Chinese people, if I were you, I would go home immediately instead of staying here and embarrassing myself."

"I have already said in interviews before that you Chinese will not receive the award this time."

"You guys are just wasting your time and money by coming here!"

"I know you all place your hopes on a young man like Wang Donglai, but I feel that you are out of touch. This is the Global Mathematicians Conference, which is held every four years and will select the best mathematicians. You The Chinese should not be able to win the award this time.”

"However, you don't have to worry. Professor Wang Donglai is still very young. Maybe he will be able to win this award in a few more decades."

"Hahaha……"

After saying that, Taro Watanabe laughed loudly.

The loud voice and the arrogant attitude immediately made Han Hua and Yang Wanpeng feel angry and wanted to take action.

Taro Watanabe is not a fool.

Before, he really had a gambling mentality and wanted to give it a try in order to change his state.

However, after he actually did this, he also heard some secret news because of his performance.

That is, there is no award for Wang Donglai from the Global Mathematicians Conference.

Although this news was only a rumor and had not spread, Taro Watanabe firmly believed it.

Because the person who told him the news had a high status.

It was precisely because of knowing this news that Taro Watanabe completely let go of the burden in his heart.

He began to publicize his inferences and analyzes in front of various media.

Although he did not explicitly say that there was a problem with Wang Donglai's performance, he deliberately used vague words to guide public opinion and attack and question Wang Donglai.

Just when Hanhua and Yang Wanpeng were about to stand up and scold Taro Watanabe and seek justice for Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai walked out first.

He walked up to Taro Watanabe and looked at him condescendingly.

Wang Donglai is over 1.8 meters tall, while Taro Watanabe is just over 1.6 meters tall.

The height gap brought a great sense of oppression to Taro Watanabe.

"There is an interesting old saying in our country: once a dog bites a man, a man cannot bite the dog."

"This doesn't mean that people can't do anything about this dog."

"Bloodletting, skinning, bone extraction, and flesh cutting are all clearly arranged."

"In my eyes, you are actually just such a dog. You don't mind being arrogant in your country, but you still come to provoke me. I admire your courage."

"So, I will prepare a big gift for you. I hope you will be satisfied when the time comes!"

After saying that, Wang Donglai walked forward directly.

Affected by Wang Donglai's momentum, Taro Watanabe felt guilty and couldn't help but get out of the way, and even almost fell down, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Damn! Damn the Chinese!"

Taro Watanabe cursed Wang Donglai crazily in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After Wang Donglai left, Taro Watanabe showed a ferocious look on his face, and his eyes became fierce.

"idiot!"

After saying something viciously, Taro Watanabe regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

however.

There were many people in the hotel, and the verbal conflict between Taro Watanabe of the island country and Wang Donglai of China spread all over the circle of scholars from the peninsula who came to attend the conference.

After hearing such lively gossip, many people wanted to watch the excitement.

After I fully understood the cause of the incident, I became even more interested.

For a time, Wang Donglai and Taro Watanabe actually became celebrities, especially Taro Watanabe, who became famous through this incident from a relatively unknown person.

Just like that, one night passed, and the Global Mathematicians Conference was held on time!
