I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 228 Steady as a Dog

Christmas Eve, Holy Eve, and Christmas holiday for more than half a month.

Whether they are Americans or Europeans, most teachers and students who believe in Christianity use the Christmas holiday to go home and reunite with their families.

The wind was blowing, the snow was falling, and Shen Qi felt lonely and cold.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Shen Qi answered the phone boredly: "Hello."

The caller said in Chinese: "Hi Shen Qi, I'm Liu Maoqing from the Chinese Mathematical Society, do you remember me?"

"Officer Liu!" Shen Qi was greatly surprised, Officer Liu is an old acquaintance.

Officer Liu’s Beijing accent made Shen Qi feel warm in the cold and lonely night in the United States: “Officer Liu, you still work at the Chinese Mathematical Association? Why are you still an officer? Now that you're a graduate student, it's time for you to be promoted to president..."

Shen Qi's chatterbox opened up, and he needed someone to confide in.The outside is bitter, the outside is tired, and the students who go to other places stay alone in the cold night and are about to collapse.

It is best not to confide in Shen Qi's family members and close friends, but it can't be a stranger either.

Officer Liu is a very suitable person to confide in.

Shen Qi talked about it for a long time, but Director Liu finally couldn't help interrupting: "Hey, Shen Qi, do you think I'm making international calls just to listen to your complaints?"

Shen Qi: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so you still have business to look for me?"

Director Liu read it in an official tone, more like following some document: "Mr. Shen Qi, after being recommended by the recommender and selected by the expert group, I am hereby awarding you the Chern Mathematics Award in recognition of your outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics. Please arrive at the University of Hong Kong before January 1 to attend the 'Chinese Mathematicians Conference and Chern Mathematics Award Ceremony'."

"This..." The sudden good news caused Shen Qi's brain to lose power for two seconds.

After the power supply was restored, Shen Qi was overjoyed: "This is great, thank you, Director Liu, and the Chinese Mathematical Society for giving me this award!"

"You are in the United States, and the invitation letter will be sent to you in electronic form. You can check your email later. I am just a messenger, after all, we know each other. All in all, congratulations, Shen Qi, happy Christmas Eve, and stay safe in the United States." Officer Liu gave some instructions and ended the call.

Shen Qi turned on the computer to check the email. Sure enough, the Chinese Mathematical Society officially sent an invitation letter. The description was similar to what Director Liu said. accommodation and other information.

For such a big matter, in order to be 100% sure, Shen Qi called Sun Erxiong: "Professor Sun, it is said that I have been selected for the Chern Prize in Mathematics?"

"People from the Chinese Mathematical Society have notified you, right? I told them your contact information in the United States. That's right, congratulations, Shen Qi, you have won the prize!" Sun Erxiong's voice sounded very excited, "Hurry up and order Air ticket, arrive in Hong Kong before January 1, and someone will welcome you when you arrive."

"I'll book it right away! By the way, what about Ouye, has she also chosen?"

"It's said that Ouye was eliminated in the second round of screening. It's okay, as long as you get selected, that's what she said. I will go to Hong Kong then, see you in Hong Kong."

"Okay, see you in Hong Kong, Professor Sun! Oh, let me ask, will you take Ouye to Hong Kong?" Shen Qi knows that the Chinese Mathematicians Conference is not something that cats and dogs can go at will, and only Chinese mathematics experts with status and status are eligible Attend a meeting, or get an invitation as an expert assistant.

"Do you want me to take her to Hong Kong?" Sun Erxiong asked.

"Of course!"

"Then book your tickets first, hang up."

After finishing the call, Shen Qi immediately booked a round-trip ticket from New York to Hong Kong online. The earliest ticket was only on January 1th, so the 8th should be the 8th, just in time.

"The Chern Mathematics Award, one of the three major mathematics awards in China, and the highest honor for young Chinese mathematicians, why don't you give me some Xueba points?"

After Shen Qi got excited, he calmed down. He questioned the system, but the system remained silent and did not reply.

"Is there still a variable? Or is it because the trophies and certificates are obtained before the Xueba points are rewarded?"

According to the requirements of the meeting, Shen Qi compiled a conference paper, which is equivalent to a condensed explanation of the proof of Walsh's conjecture, which took him a few days.

Days and years waited until January 1, when Shen Qi went to New York's JFK Airport to board a flight to Hong Kong.

The Chern Mathematics Prize was originally established by donations from Hong Kong entrepreneurs, and has received continuous financial sponsorship from Hong Kong entrepreneurs for decades.

The Chinese Mathematical Society arranged the "Chinese Mathematicians Conference and Chen Shiingshen Mathematics Award Ceremony" to be held in Hong Kong, which reflects the harmonious situation of the Chinese people in the three places across the Taiwan Strait.

There are Yew University School and Fudan School of Mathematics in the Mainland, but the Hong Kong School in the Pearl River Delta must not be ignored.

As the inheritance of the Shuimu school in the 60s and [-]s of last century, Hong Kong's mathematics strength has always been strong. Later, it combined with the British academic school to give birth to a unique mathematical style, that is, the Hong Kong school of mathematics.

It is very appropriate that the prestigious Asian University of Hong Kong, as the host, hosts this Chinese mathematics event.

The host in Hong Kong is very enthusiastic and the arrangements are more comprehensive.

As soon as Shen Qi got off the plane, his Hong Kong friend, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and had a fashionable hairstyle, invited him into an Alpha MPV.

Alpha drove all the way to Hong Kong Island. The Hong Kong University campus is located on Hong Kong Island, and Shen Qi's hotel is also on Hong Kong Island.

Through the window of the car, Shen Qi saw the bustling men and women busily running about for their lives.

There are many shops on the narrow but orderly streets, morning tea shops, clay pot rice shops, sugar water shops, and fish ball stalls are connected one after another, making Shen Qi feel more familiar.

Shen Qi is very familiar with Hong Kong. He has forgotten how many times he has been here. His home is very close to Hong Kong, and the living, eating habits and language of Hong Kong people are similar to those of other cities in the Pearl River Delta.

The hotel Shen Qi stayed at was in Victoria Harbour, where he could see the sea.

The "China Mathematicians Conference and Chern Mathematics Prize Presentation Ceremony" will be held tomorrow, and all the attendees who are expected to come are here, and most of them live in the same hotel as Shen Qi.

Only Sun Erxiong and Ouye did not arrive, and the plane was delayed.

Shen Qi met the president of the Chinese Mathematical Society at the hotel.

The president explained some precautions for tomorrow's conference and congratulated Shen Qi for winning the award.

The chairman has said that Shen Qi has won the Chern Mathematics Award this year, so there must be no problem.

Shen Qi made up his mind, had dinner in the hotel restaurant, and began to sort out the drafts of tomorrow's award acceptance speech, and simulated the academic seminar after the award ceremony in his mind, imagining himself as a mathematics expert of various schools and research institutions. The "true self" in the book is questioned, tested, and pressed.

The professional questions Shen Qi designed for himself were so weird that he couldn't even answer them himself.

In the simulated scene, "Shen Qi" was stumped by a question from the "Director of the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences".

The director swiped his fingers and drew a bunch of irregular mathematical symbols in the air:
2∣fq∣（e^2.37ε2/8）≥1，r0≥1，B^2t+A^2=(t+1)N1^8……

These messy mathematical symbols dance between the director's magical fingers. They emit fluorescence and float in the air like fireflies.

"Shen Qi" was dumbfounded, he had never seen such a complicated math problem, and he didn't know where to find a breakthrough, and he couldn't even find a single clue.

The system suddenly popped up a message: "New achievement! Congratulations to the host for winning the Shiing-shen Chern Mathematics Award and becoming the youngest winner in history. The basic reward is 30 Xueba points, multiplied by the main talent in mathematics 2.0, and the final reward is 60 Xueba points The balance is 1068749 Xueba points, please confirm with the host."

"Hehe." Shen Qi showed a strange smile, and returned to reality from the fantasy scene of "expert questioning".

"The emperor pays off, my sweat is not in vain!" Shen Qi was secretly happy, and his expression returned to normal.If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of the system to distribute benefits, he might have fallen into a split personality.

With a balance of more than 100 million Xueba points, you are so rich!
Without hesitation, Shen Qi upgraded his mathematics to grade 10.

In the level setting of the system, level 8-10 is the elite level, and level 11-13 is the master level.

Then level 10 is a high-level elite, not far from a master of mathematics.
