I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 275 Go to your place to do a ward round
"Professor Figali has made fruitful progress in elliptic and parabolic PDEs, Prof. Gong in number theory and related automorphic forms, and Mr. Shen in the proof of Walsh conjecture and the study of Banach spaces."

"And Mr. Shen's proof of the Riemann conjecture is innovative and breakthrough. IMU is organizing relevant experts and Mr. Shen's team to jointly study the Riemann conjecture."

"Based on the above reasons, this 'Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics' is awarded to the above three mathematicians who fully meet the award criteria."

The award presenter, Mr. Jones, introduced the main research achievements of the three winners in the past one or two years.

Received the award, took a group photo, and delivered a short acceptance speech. Shen Qi, Gong Changwei, and Figalli each received a prize of 100 million US dollars.

Efforts will pay off, and the system began to give out awards: "New achievements! Congratulations to the host for winning the blockbuster 'Mathematics Breakthrough Award' as the youngest in history. The basic reward is 60 Xueba points, multiplied by the mathematics master's talent coefficient 2.0, and the final reward The quota is 120 million Xueba points. The balance is 1821538 Xueba points, please confirm with the host."

The factor of the youngest winner has a bonus effect on the amount of achievement rewards.

Shen Qi feels that he should win prizes all over the world in recent years. For heavyweight mathematics awards including the Philippine Prize, if he wins under the age of 25, he can break the record of "the youngest winner".

After winning the award, Shen Qi accepted interviews from many media. In the interview, he said: "I am very happy to receive the 'Breakthrough in Mathematics Award', and I am also grateful to my team... Yes, you are right, I will To attend the International Congress of Mathematicians in the second half of the year...Fields Medal? Haha, never thought about it."

The American reporter said: "But Mr. Shen, when you were interviewed by our station yesterday, you also said that you had no hope of winning the 'Breakthrough Award in Mathematics', but just now, you won the 'Breakthrough Award in Mathematics'."

Shen Qi smiled and said: "Yes, life is like this, we can only choose to accept it."

With the proof of the Walsh conjecture, the two Banach space theorems named after Shen Qi, and the proof of the Riemann conjecture that caused a sensation but has not yet been officially recognized, Shen Qi entered the harvest season. He harvested awards, Honors, popularity, money and contacts, harvest points in the system.

After the award ceremony, Shen Qi, Gong Changwei, and Figali got together to chat.

The three of them knew each other before and had a good relationship.

Needless to say, the relationship between Shen Qi and Gong Changwei, the two studied at Yan University, and Gong Changwei was the graduate tutor of Shen Qi's girlfriend.

Both Shen Qi and Figali are academics in Princeton and belong to the same organization.

There was a subtle change in the eyes of the two famous professors, Gong Changwei and Figali, when they looked at Shen Qi.

Shen Qi has not yet obtained a PhD, and is only a mathematics teaching assistant at Princeton, but he has been upgraded to an equal academic status in the eyes of the two professors.

This is the case in academia, a circle that perhaps values ​​grades, results, and achievements more than any other circle, and the qualification to have the highest academic status is to create unparalleled academic achievements.

"I can finally pay off my mortgage." Gong Changwei flicked a $100 million Wells Fargo check. Mathematicians also have to live and worry about basic necessities.Gong Changwei was born in the rural areas of Sichuan and Sichuan. He can get to where he is today entirely by himself, relying on his outstanding mathematical talent and hard work.

"My mortgage has been paid off, and I can finally own a newest Lamborghini." Figali was born in a high-class Italian intellectual family. His family's economic conditions are relatively well-off, and he belongs to the middle class in Europe. part of the crowd.

"I can finally replace my second-hand Chevrolet. Lamborghini is too ostentatious, and Mercedes-Benz is more suitable for my current living conditions." Shen Qi received the check for 100 million US dollars.

"Mercedes-Benz is driven by an old man, Qi, you are so young, 22 years old, don't tell me you will choose a Mercedes-Benz?" Figari tried his best to persuade Shen Qi not to buy a Mercedes-Benz. Young people should choose a car brand with a relatively young positioning.

Shen Qi said: "Mercedes-Benz also has models that target young consumers. Alessio, do you know why I like Mercedes-Benz? There is only one reason. I like the logo of Mercedes-Benz. Don't you think that among all the logos of cars, Mercedes-Benz's LOGO best meets the aesthetics defined by mathematics?"

"The LOGO of Mercedes-Benz can be seen as a closed curve on the flat ring shrinking to a point, and then released to the edge through the two-dimensional manifold." Gong Changwei stretched out his finger and drew a circle in the air.

Shen Qi laughed loudly: "Senior brother knows cars best, let's buy a Mercedes-Benz as a group purchase, and we can get a discount."

Figali was speechless: "Others pay attention to the configuration, power and safety when buying a car, but you pay attention to the reasonable explanation of topology when buying a car. I think the salesmen in the Mercedes-Benz dealership will go crazy. Their sales skills are in front of you. Totally ineffective!"

"Odd, according to your view of car purchase and consumption, all Italian car brands including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Fiat have fundamental design flaws. Their LOGO can't be explained by mathematical language at all. They are failed products."

The three mathematics award winners were talking and laughing, and Maynard, a British mathematician who passed by in a hurry, chose to make a detour.

Figalli studies partial differential equations and differential geometry, Gong Changwei focuses on number theory, and Shen Qi is very comprehensive. His rapid popularity in the past two years relies on number theory and functional analysis.

Maynard also studies number theory, and his research direction is highly similar to that of Shen Qi. When Shen Qi took over, Maynard felt wronged and won a small prize of 10 US dollars.

After all, number theory is a relatively unpopular circle. If Maynard also won the "Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics", then the "Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics" should be renamed "Breakthrough Prize in Number Theory". This is not in line with the mainstream development trend of the contemporary mathematics world.

According to the usual practice, after the academic report meeting and the award ceremony, the speakers of important topics will participate in one or several round table meetings to answer questions from authoritative experts in this field on this important topic.

"Muller-Shen Theorem" and "Shen's Proximity Theorem" have already been published in the four major mathematics journals. Mathematicians in the field of functionals have studied them thoroughly, and there is nothing to ask.

The report "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis Based on 'Twin Matching Method'" was made public the day before yesterday, and mathematicians in the field of number theory are still intensively studying it, so there is nothing to ask.

So Shen Qi returned to Princeton with a full load, and life had to go on.

After disposing of the second-hand Chevrolet Malibu at a low price, Shen Qi bought a new SUV, a Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The 4.0T twin-turbocharged V8 engine and the 9AT gearbox make do with power and handling.

The body length of more than 5 meters, combined with the tough exterior design, looks manly.

The wheelbase of more than 3 meters brings ample interior space. GLS is a 7-seater SUV. With the rear seats folded down, you can do whatever you want in the car, which is flexible and changeable.

Due to factors such as tariffs and the fact that Chinese local tyrants are not short of money, this Mercedes-Benz SUV was sold in China through import channels and sold for more than 100 million yuan.

Shen Qi paid more than $9 for this GLS at the dealership in the United States.

As soon as the new car was mentioned, Shen Qi drove directly to Columbia University, picked up Ouye and went for a drive.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Ouye said, "My dad likes this kind of large car the most."

"Then what kind of car do you like?" Shen Qi asked, he knew that Ouye had a driver's license, although he had never seen Ouye drive a car.

"I like this kind too." Ouye opened the vanity mirror above the passenger seat, looked in the mirror, and touched up makeup.

"It's a bit of a cute contrast." Shen Qi automatically imagined the picture of Ouye driving a large hardcore off-road.

"By the way, where are we going?" Ouye looked out the window, it was all in Pennsylvania.

"Where do you want to go?" Shen Qi asked, the new car is running out, and he has no destination, so he can drive wherever he wants with his beloved woman.

"I want to go to Princeton." Ouye said.

Shen Qi went to Ouye's dormitory several times, but Ouye never went to Shen Qi's dormitory once, so there was no room inspection or anything like that.

"OK, Princeton." Shen Qi turned around and drove towards New Jersey.
