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

Chapter 251 Inexplicable Malice

In the domestic academic world, there are actually many professors who are worthy of admiration.

Professor Zhou Haizhong is definitely one.

He has shown a talent for mathematics since he was a child and has continuously studied by himself. His mathematics level is far superior to that of his peers. Even if he went to the mountains and countryside, it did not affect his self-study.

Finally, he boldly proposed a guess about the distribution of Mersenne prime numbers and gave a precise formula.

After proposing the 'Zhou's Conjecture', his achievements were actually enough for him to become a big boss in the academic world.

However, Professor Zhou Haizhong still did not stop his research. He set his scientific research goals in the intersection of mathematics, linguistics, astronomy and other disciplines, and cooperated with foreign scholars to jointly explore the development of machine translation systems, the design of cosmic language, Mathematical models of near-Earth asteroids, etc.

It is worth mentioning that in order to be able to freely research and engage in scientific research, Zhou Haizhong did not apply for topics or projects from above, but spent his own money to research academic issues that he found interesting and meaningful.

He even stayed at Sun Yat-sen University for decades.

Without Wang Dong to prove Zhou's conjecture and further refine the distribution rules and precise formulas of Mersenne prime numbers, Professor Zhou Haizhong would probably remain unknown at Sun Yat-sen University.

At this time, Su Jianshe greeted Zhou Haizhong as if he had just recognized him.

Seeing this, Zhang Hanjie was just stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, Professor Wang, I will listen to you."

"It's okay, there's no need to call you yours. I'm not older than you, and we're all of the same generation. You can just call me by my name." Naturally, Wang Donglai would not show off in front of Zhang Hanjie, so he corrected him in his address.

"That's not necessary. You can call me by my name, or you can call me Professor Wang, but you really don't have to call me one at a time."

However, Zhou Haizhong still refused.

"It's almost written!"

The young man took the initiative to walk up to Wang Donglai and greeted Wang Donglai warmly.

It turned out that Wang Donglai had actually finished writing the proof paper, but the academic journal of Tangdu Jiaotong University had not yet been released, so he was waiting.

However, just when the two were talking in full swing.

"I was very excited when I learned that Goldbach's conjecture was proved. I also learned a lot from seeing your proof at the Global Mathematicians Conference. I can't imagine how strong your mathematical talent will be."

When he heard his student introducing himself in this way, he first scolded Zhang Hanjie: "You are putting me on the fire. Academicianship is an organizational decision, and how to arrange it is a matter for the leader. Don’t go around talking nonsense.”

"No matter what, the fact that you can prove these mathematical problems is an extremely impressive achievement. What's more, you are still so young. The future academic world will definitely belong to outstanding young people like you."

As he talked, Su Jianshe mentioned the paper that proved Goldbach's conjecture.

"Professor Wang, I didn't expect to meet you here. I am your biggest fan!"

After reprimanding Zhang Hanjie, Su Jianshe turned his attention to Wang Donglai again and said loudly: "Professor Wang is really young and promising. I have been studying this for almost forty years, and the results are not as good as your two years." As a result, it’s a bit embarrassing to tell you.”

"Professor Wang, although you are younger than me, your academic achievements are much greater than mine. It is said that if we are three people, I must be my teacher. In my heart, you are both my idol and my mentor." Academic goals, although I will never be able to catch up with you in my life.”

"Hey, Professor Zhou, you are here too!"

Although his tone was slightly reprimanding, both Wang Donglai and Zhou Haizhong could tell that Professor Su Jianshe was quite pleased with Zhang Hanjie's flattery.

"Professor Su deserves the award. I can achieve these results because I stand on the shoulders of my predecessors. For example, if I prove 'Zhou's conjecture', it is because Professor Zhou proposed it first and I can prove it."

In just a few words, Zhang Hanjie left a simple impression on Wang Donglai's heart.

"By the way, Professor Wang, let me introduce you to him. This is Professor Su Jianshe from the Department of Mathematics at Jinling University. He is also my boss. His research direction is mainly in number theory and geometry. He is currently preparing for the selection of academicians."

Wang Donglai smiled and said modestly.

"Let me take the liberty of asking, how is your proof paper going now?"

"I've always wanted to chat with you, but I never had a chance. I met you here today. I was so happy that I took the liberty of interrupting you. Sorry, Professor Wang."

It has to be said that Zhang Hanjie was extremely articulate. His words praised Wang Donglai without making people think that he was flattering.

But he responded quickly, with a warm smile on his face and asked: "Hello, who are you?"

"Professor Wang, my name is Zhang Hanjie. I am studying for a Ph.D. at Jinling University. I have read all your papers, especially when you proved the 'Zhou Conjecture' in front of so many people at the Princeton Academic Exchange Conference and proposed an accurate formula. , that scene was so cool, I’ve become your biggest fan since then.”

As Wang Donglai's reputation grew, Zhou Haizhong's achievements resurfaced and became known to everyone.

Zhou Haizhong nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I just happened to meet him. Let's talk to Professor Wang."

With a bit of excitement and excitement on his face, the young man walked in front to lead the way for the old man.

However, there are no ifs in the world.

Zhang Hanjie first introduced himself in an elegant manner, and then explained why he came to disturb him.

After hearing what the young man said, Wang Dong glanced at the young man and felt that this scene seemed familiar.

With all these things in mind, Zhou Haizhong took the initiative to participate in this mathematics society and wanted to have a good chat with Wang Donglai.

A young man and an old man came over.

After becoming famous, Zhou Haizhong was reminded that he could participate in some award competitions. With his qualifications and achievements, it would not be a problem to win the award.

Wang Donglai did not agree to Zhang Hanjie's statement and still firmly refused.

"Your paper is so important to the domestic academic community. As one of the three major mathematical problems, Goldbach's conjecture proves that this problem has both symbolic and practical significance. I have been studying the topology you proposed for the past two days. Group theory, I find this is a very advanced theory that can be well applied to many number theory problems.”

After finishing, he turned sideways and introduced the old man behind him to Wang Donglai.

When Professor Su Jianshe walked over, his eyes were always on Wang Donglai, looking up and down.

Wang Donglai is certainly true. When talking with senior professors like Zhou Haizhong, he does not fall behind in the slightest from conversation to academic knowledge accumulation.

"This time the Mathematics Society is convening, we have a rare gathering together, and we are all studying number theory. I have a suggestion. How about we all get together. How about you take out your paper and let everyone take a look. How about we communicate together? "

After Su Jianshe finished speaking, he waited for Wang Donglai's answer.

When Wang Donglai heard what Su Jianshe said, Wang Donglai suddenly felt a little strange.

In addition to being strange, I had some guesses about Su Jianshe's purpose.

He is not an academic novice. Although he has described his proof process at the Global Mathematicians Conference, those contents only account for about half of the entire proof process. Firstly, he has not submitted to journals, and secondly, he has not published arXIV. If he puts the complete It is risky to take out the paper.

Besides, it was only the first time that he and Su Jianshe met. Even someone as close as Xu Songyao didn't make such a request. Why did Su Jianshe let Wang Donglai do this?

With this in mind, Wang Donglai rejected it decisively: "I'll leave it to Professor Su's suggestion. I prefer silence. If there are too many people, it will only affect my thinking."

After finishing speaking, Wang Donglai thought for a while and then deliberately said tentatively, "If Professor Su has any questions, you can come to me. I am happy to chat with an old-timer like Professor Su."

Su Jianshe was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Wang Donglai to answer like this. In fact, he never thought that Wang Donglai would refuse. With his qualifications, he put forward such a reasonable and normal suggestion, which completely praised Wang Donglai. A normal young man who has achieved such great results will have a change in his mentality. Just using this mentality to invite Wang Dong to come, logically it shouldn't fail!
Being rejected by Wang Donglai, Su Jianshe was confused and a little unhappy.

The smile on his face was still there, but his eyes were a bit cold.

"Oh, that's it. I thought you looked down on us old professors, thinking that our academic level is backward and we are not worthy of communicating and exploring with you."

Su Jianshe's tone was already filled with obvious displeasure, and he said these words in a sinister manner.

As soon as these words came out, both Zhou Haizhong and Zhang Hanjie sensed something was wrong.

"What Professor Su said is wrong. I have never said that, or expressed such a meaning. I don't know why Professor Su said that and asked me to share my thesis for everyone to study. Could it be that it is harmful to me?" What opinions are being used to make excuses?”

Wang Donglai naturally couldn't hold it back and immediately fought back.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed Su Jianshe into the corner.

Su Jianshe sneered, no longer hiding his expression, and said: "What do you mean by this? You don't think I have any thoughts on your paper, do you? It's ridiculous!"

Wang Donglai's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "I don't mean anything, Professor Su, don't think too much!"

"You are really a good student trained by Tangdu Jiaotong University!"

"Young people have made some achievements, which are indeed outstanding, but I still suggest that young people should remain in awe and not be arrogant. This will not be good for future academic research."

"Since you don't accept my kindness, I won't force it and waste your precious time any more. Just take care of yourself!"

After saying these words, Su Jianshe shook his head and left.

Zhang Hanjie watched this scene from the side, frowning fiercely.

He looked at Wang Donglai and then at Su Jianshe, who had already left. He hesitated for a moment, then apologized to Wang Donglai sheepishly and said, "Professor Wang, I'm sorry!"

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Dong to speak, he chased after Su Jianshe.

But watching Su Jianshe leave and Zhang Hanjie chase after him, Wang Donglai didn't have much fluctuation.

He had roughly guessed what Su Jianshe was thinking.

Nothing more than...

"Professor Wang, if anything is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind!"

At this time, Professor Zhou Haizhong said something quietly to remind Wang Donglai.

"Then it depends on whether the wind is stronger or the trees are stronger."

Wang Donglai replied with a smile.

……

The next day.

The Chinese Mathematical Society officially kicked off.

The Mathematical Society was established in 1935 and was held in the library of Jiaotong University in Shanghai.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the conference was located at the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This time it was held at Makino Normal University, which was the first time.

Therefore, Makino Normal University is going all out for this Mathematics Society.

The participants included more than 600 representatives from universities, scientific research institutes, news media, and publishing houses across the country.

The originally scheduled number of people was only more than 400, but because of Wang Donglai's presence, the number of people in the society this time was 200 more.

The concert hall of Makino Normal University has already been decorated.

With more than 600 people staying here, it doesn't seem cramped at all.

Whether it is a foreign mathematics conference or a domestic academic conference, they are almost the same.

There is academic exchange, but it is not the most important thing.

This kind of learning meeting is often the favorite of those who are good at socializing and like to socialize.

Because they can make more friends and integrate into the circle through such opportunities.

"This time, the list of winners will be announced first, and the awards will be held next year. I'll let you know, so you know what's going on."

Xu Songyao leaned over and explained to Wang Donglai.

The Mathematical Society is held every year, but several awards are not selected every year, but every two years.

The selection will be announced one year and the awards will be given one year.

This year coincides with the selection and announcement of the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Prize, the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Prize and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Prize.

In 1987, the Chung Jiaqing Fund was established. In 1988, the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award was launched. This award is specially designed to recognize and reward the best doctoral students in mathematics and encourage more young scholars to devote themselves to the cause of mathematics.

The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award was initiated and donated by Chairman Liu of Hong Kong Island Yilida Industrial Development Group Co., Ltd., who is enthusiastic about developing science and education in China. The Standing Council of the Chinese Mathematical Society decided to establish it, and this The awards are awarded to young and middle-aged Chinese mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics.

Finally, there is the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award. In order to commemorate Hua Lao’s great achievements, encourage Chinese mathematicians to make outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese mathematics, and promote the development of mathematics, the Chinese Mathematical Society and the Hunan Education Press established it and were later The former is responsible for judging and awarding awards and was established in 1992.

There are also differences between these three awards. The Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is mainly aimed at young scholars under the age of fifty, and two people are selected in each session.

The Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award is aimed at senior professors over fifty years old, and two people are selected in each session.

The Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award is for doctoral students, and the number of candidates for selection is slightly larger.

Wang Donglai already knew this information, so he could roughly guess what award he would win.

I have already graduated from college, so it is definitely impossible to win the Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.

There is an age limit for the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, and I am not yet old enough.

Only the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is the most suitable award for me, and this time it will probably be this award.

He was very confident about this, but he was a little curious about who the other winner would be and who could win this award with him. After much deliberation, he never thought of who it would be.
