Chapter 265 The Awkward Awards Presentation Scene (711 811)

After some discussions with Li Mingzhi, Zhou Ming finally persuaded Li Mingzhi not to do anything to receive the award live in the lecture hall of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology, and let the students of the School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology We all go to listen to this kind of thing at night.

In the end, Zhou Ming set the location of the live broadcast to receive the award at his home. After all, it is much more convenient to live at home than at school. There is no delay in doing research in the laboratory of the State Institute of Life Sciences.

If the location of the live broadcast to receive the award is set at the school, even if the live broadcast is broadcast after receiving the award and making a report, Zhou Ming reckons that at least Li Mingzhi will drag him to chat for a while.

It's not that Zhou Ming dislikes chatting with Li Zhizhi, but his current thoughts are all on the "evolution" of genetic medicines, and he doesn't want to delay the next day's experiment because of chatting with Li Zhizhi.

The International Mathematical Union did exactly what Zhou Ming said. On the second night after he and Li Mingzhi ended the call, Zhou Ming opened his mailbox at home as usual to check what emails he had received today. Email reply from the International Mathematical Union.

In the e-mail they replied to Zhou Ming, they also gave the schedule for the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians. Winners of the Ertz Medal and the Laureates of the Newanglinna Award made plenary reports.

In the schedule sent to Zhou Ming by the International Conference of Mathematicians this time, the host of the report was also listed. This information will not be disclosed to ordinary people in advance.

Because according to common sense, the research field of the presenter should be relatively close to that of the speaker. Once we know the presenter of the report, then this will allow us to guess who the winner will be from the identity of the presenter. At least this range is Shrunk a lot.

The winner of the Fields Medal will not be announced until the awards are presented on the opening ceremony of the International Mathematical Congress. For ordinary people, announcing the host of the report in advance is considered a leak.

However, Zhou Ming, as one of the winners, is indeed not an ordinary person.

In this daily schedule, Zhou Ming was the last to receive the award, but the first to give the report.

The reason for this arrangement is that the International Mathematical Federation mentioned in the email Zhou Ming replied to them that he could only spare an hour or two for the arrangement.

After all, if you don't arrange it this way, one or two hours will definitely not be enough.

Moreover, the schedule sent by the International Mathematical Union this time is only the initial one. If the scholars who give the report feel that their time needs to be adjusted, they can also contact the International Mathematical Union and make appropriate adjustments. .

However, Zhou Ming was quite satisfied with the time that the International Mathematical Federation had arranged for him, so he didn't bother and asked them to make adjustments to their time.

I wrote an e-mail to the International Mathematical Union, saying that I have received and read their e-mail, and I have no opinion on this schedule. Zhou Ming's life has returned to the previous one. Dot the line of life again.

Until [-] o'clock in the morning on August [-]st in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that is, at [-] o'clock in the evening on August [-]st in the capital of Huaguo, Zhou Ming successfully connected with Rio de Janeiro and started to use Claim your prize online.

As soon as the list of the four winners of the Fields Medal came out this year, it caused a lot of discussion, whether in China or abroad.

It is not surprising that Zhou Ming won this year's Fields Medal. Even if it was strange, it would be strange if Zhou Ming did not win the award.

The reason why this year's Fields Medal has aroused discussion among many people in China is that among the four winners of the Fields Medal this year, two are from China, and they are both mentors and apprentices.

In addition to Zhou Ming winning the Fields Medal this year, his former doctoral student Liu Haowen also unexpectedly appeared on the award list.

Two of the four accounted for half of it at once.

And before that, the number of Chinese nationals who had Chinese nationality at the time of receiving the award, but not the descendants of Chinese descendants who were born in the country of residence and obtained the nationality of the country of residence, was zero.

Now, it has broken through from zero to two in one fell swoop.

When I received an e-mail notification from the International Mathematical Federation, it only stated that Zhou Ming was one of the winners, and did not disclose the list of other winners.

Although the first day of the International Conference of Mathematicians sent to Zhou Ming there later had a report host whose research field was number theory, Zhou Ming didn't think about Liu Haowen either.

After all, because Zhou Ming used many new mathematical methods to solve the twin prime conjecture, Goldbach conjecture and Riemann conjecture, many people in the field of number theory have achieved very good results in recent years. Not too small, but not too prominent either.

So when he found out that Liu Haowen was among the winners of this year's Fields Medal, Zhou Ming was also very surprised.

After the International Mathematical Federation announced the four winners of this year's Fields Medal, Huaguo's news channels, some official media and unofficial media also quickly reported the news. This is where the discussion started.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the vast majority of college students in Huaguo must have not slept yet. At this time, everyone who should be swiping their phones is swiping their phones, those who should be in the library are in the library, and those who should be playing games are playing games. The game is not sleeping.

"Who is this Liu Haowen?"

Because Liu Haowen was reported once before when he solved Zhou's conjecture, and when many media reported this news, they deliberately replaced Liu Haowen in the title with words such as "Zhou Ming's student" and "Zhou Ming's apprentice". Even more so, although many people have read the news with this title, or even read the whole news, they don't necessarily remember the name Liu Haowen.

"Professor Zhou Ming's student, the one who solved Zhou's conjecture before."

"I have to say that Professor Zhou is really against the sky this week. Not only is he amazing, but the students he teaches are also amazing. Liu Haowen has been transferred from Peking University to Huaguo University of Science and Technology for less than a year, which proves that Zhou's Guess, it’s no wonder that so many mathematics students want to enter the School of Mathematical Sciences of Huaguo University of Science and Technology.”

Obviously, not everyone in the comments doesn’t know Liu Haowen, but there are quite a few people who know Liu Haowen. Under the comment asking who Liu Haowen is, several people left comments and explained Liu Haowen’s identity to him.

"This year, Huaguo University of Science and Technology College of Mathematical Sciences' college entrance examination scores for each major have surpassed that of Peking University, becoming the number one in the national college entrance examination mathematics major. Since Zhou Ming went to Huaguo University of Science and Technology, their mathematics major college entrance examination The score line is getting higher and higher every year.”

"It's not just the score line of the college entrance examination, the score line of the postgraduate entrance examination for the mathematics major of Huaguo University of Science and Technology is the same."

"Not only mathematics, the current biology major of Huaguo University of Science and Technology is also incredible. The difficulty of getting into the biology major of Huaguo University of Science and Technology is no less difficult than the difficulty of getting into the mathematics major."

"There are also computer majors. This year, Huaguo University of Science and Technology's computer major's score has also increased a lot compared to previous years."

"Why has the score line for computer majors also increased? Could it be that the rising tide raises all boats?"

"What else could it be, of course it's because..."

……

This comment was chatting, and the topic changed. They first discussed from Liu Haowen to the score line of Huaguo University of Science and Technology's mathematics major, then switched to the score line of biology major, and then changed to the score line of computer major.

After talking about the increase in Huaguo Science's computer scores, they began to discuss the reasons for the increase.

However, no matter where the comments are, as long as no restrictions are turned on, it is impossible for all of them to be such peaceful discussions.

"Why are you so excited about winning an award from abroad?"

"I think Liu Haowen, who won the Fields Medal this year, was chosen purely because of Zhou Ming."

"What's the use of being good at mathematics? Is it to produce one more grain of rice, or to manufacture domestic chips? To be honest, mathematics is of little use to ordinary people."

……

There are all kinds of fault-finding and argumentative comments like this, but there are not many such comments now, and most of them are submerged in the army of comments, only a few of them criticize them because of the comments. Was pushed up.

Once such comments are upvoted, as long as they are not deleted, they will not go down, because many people who see such comments can't help but say something, so that the popularity of this comment will continue to rise.

In fact, this is also a way for some platforms to maintain their activity, using some technical means to make some dissenting comments appear in front of many people, causing people to refute this comment.

Since he devoted all his energy to the research and development of the "evolution" of genetic medicines, Zhou Ming was reported and discussed much less often.

Just when his experimental team has made some breakthroughs and is reported, or when the biotechnology company has some new products in the future, someone will mention Zhou Ming on the Internet, most of the time the Internet hot searches are still various An entertainment star.

At the awarding site of the Fields Medal at the International Mathematics Conference, a video of Zhou Ming’s life is being played. This video was filmed by Zhou Ming at the International Mathematical Union. Every winner will have such a video of his life .

Some winners took pictures of themselves in school, others took pictures of themselves and their families at home, and still others took pictures of themselves studying math problems.

But what makes everyone in the audience feel a little embarrassed is that other people's videos are either about things in life or things related to mathematics. When it is Zhou Ming's turn, his video content is very simple, and most of the scenes are his. The appearance of doing experiments in the biology laboratory is a small part of Zhou Ming's life at home.

The Fields Medal is a mathematics award, not a biology award. Most of the videos played by the mathematics award winners are related to biological experiments, and most of the people sitting in the audience are experts in the field of mathematics.

As the saying goes, there is a specialization in mathematics. Although a group of mathematics masters are all talented in mathematics, their understanding of biology is much worse than their understanding of mathematics. Naturally, it is a bit embarrassing to see such a video .

However, Zhou Ming only took pictures that could be released, and Zhou Ming didn't take any pictures that could be classified and could not be released.

"Professor Zhou Ming is mainly doing a very important research in the field of biology recently, and he is very busy. This is why he cannot come to Rio de Janeiro to participate in this International Congress of Mathematicians. In fact, he also really wants to come to the awards ceremony. of……"

After Zhou Ming's video was played on stage, the host also explained for Zhou Ming.

Soon, it was Zhou Ming's turn to give a report first. He released the PPT he made. After talking for more than 40 minutes, Zhou Ming finally ended the live broadcast to receive the award. Lost contact with the Rio de Janeiro scene.

"Due to the time difference, although it is still morning on our side, it is already very late at night in Huaguo, where Professor Zhou Ming is. He will continue to do research tomorrow. I hope everyone can understand.

In addition, we also wish Professor Zhou Ming to complete his current research in the field of biology as soon as possible, and we also hope to see Professor Zhou Ming solve the next mathematical problem again..."

After the presenter on stage made his final statement, the next winner and presenter spoke.

Although Zhou Ming's daily life video released at this year's Fields Awards is a matter worthy of discussion among netizens, due to the time difference, there is no related live broadcast in China, so for this Fields Awards Many domestic netizens did not know the specifics of what happened at the awards ceremony, and their news was a bit delayed. We can only discuss it when someone in China releases a related video later.

Since the video about Zhou Ming in this year's Fields Medal is really interesting, a group of netizens soon moved the related video from the Internet to major video sites and social networking sites in China, plus the official Multi-faceted reports, and all the headlines with Zhou Ming's name have their own traffic, so that on the second day of the Fields Medal award ceremony, that is, the afternoon of August [-]nd, Huaguo capital time, there was a lot of traffic on the Huaguo network. There's been a bunch of discussions about this.
