Super Dimension Technology Era

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and inside the auditorium of CUHK, even though it was air-conditioned, it could not suppress the warm applause of the crowd.

Huang Mingzhe stood on the podium of the General Assembly Hall, clicked the mouse with his finger, and lines of formulas appeared on the projection screen behind him.

"Due to limited time, I will briefly explain the idea of ​​​​proving Hodge's conjecture. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask..."

Then Huang Mingzhe explained the formulas and derivation processes in an orderly and concise manner.

Thousands of domestic and foreign mathematicians were very quiet, especially great masters such as Gerd Faltings and Andrew Wiles, who listened quietly without any intention of finding trouble.

However, as time passed, many people began to lose their patience.

A professor at Stanford University raised his hand.

"Please ask a question." Huang Mingzhe raised his hand.

Taking the microphone from the staff, the professor stood up and asked: "Mr. Huang, can you explain the cyclic fuzzy asymptotic formula on page 66 of your paper, especially the derivation of irregular shapes."

"No problem, there is nothing complicated about the cyclic fuzzy asymptotic formula..." Huang Mingzhe explained it in a few words.

But the professor looked confused. It's not that complicated. Are you talking human language?

"Professor Wade, if you still don't understand, you can read the paper published by Dr. Antonilovsky of Moscow State University in 2006, titled Mathematical Model of Infinite Fuzziness."

"Um..." Professor Wade was a Muggle. If he continued to ask, he would only appear to be short-sighted. He could only sit down and search for the paper in his notebook.

Next, many people raised their hands to ask questions, but Huang Mingzhe's answers were impeccable.

No matter how tricky the angle is or how small the question is, he can answer it fluently without reading the paper, and make all the questioners convinced.

"Is this guy still a human being? He won't memorize all the 526-page paper, right?" Zhang Wei whispered to Liu Ruochuan who was standing aside.

"..." Liu Ruochuan was also stunned.

The others present were not much better. It was normal to be able to remember their own papers, after all, they were written by themselves, but to be able to remember the citations of the papers and some other books was too much.

After answering seven people's questions, the others no longer wanted to ask, or did not dare to ask.

Especially the look in Huang Mingzhe's eyes seems to be saying that you should know this knowledge point, but you don't understand it? Isn't your professor a water-filled professor?

If they don't know how to go back and read on their own, they will be like primary school students who make mistakes in their homework and are criticized by the teacher.

In the second half of the one-hour report, Huang Mingzhe sang a one-man show, except for Andrew Wiles, Gerd Faltings, Qiu Chengtong, Pierre Deligne and other big guys who could understand it.

Everyone else looked confused, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.

Apart from shivering, I might have no choice but to shout 666 in the audience and act like a dumbfounded tool.

Especially those middle-aged professors, they can't directly say that they don't understand. After all, not only are their peers but also their own students nearby, they can only pretend to be enlightened.

In fact, in their hearts, it was like ten thousand alpacas galloping at this moment. They understood all the formulas and symbols, but when they were combined, they were completely confused.

For example, Schultz thinks he is a genius, but now he has doubts about his level. Could it be that he and Huang Mingzhe are not studying mathematics at the same level?

"Thank you very much for listening and asking questions. This report ends here." After Huang Mingzhe finished speaking, he bowed to the audience stage to express his thanks.

Bang bang bang... Although the vast majority of people did not understand, this did not prevent them from thunderous applause.

The media at the venue also took videos or photos and prepared to go back and write news.

As one of the studios of Thinking Network, the Journal of Truth broadcast the entire report of Huang Mingzhe live.

In the dream live broadcast of Sisi.com, many domestic mathematicians who were not present watched this online live broadcast, and of course more people were watching.

"Come in confused, leave confused." - Empty nester born in the 1990s

"乛v乛Who gave you the courage to come in?" - My son Wang Teng

" @Empty-nesters born in the 1990s, don't tell me you are confused. Even though I have a PhD in mathematics, I am also full of confusion. I estimate that among those present, there will be no more than twenty people who understand."— -asymmetric

"A strong academic is so terrifying." - Funny

"I regret enrolling in the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Science and Technology. If I had known better, I should have applied for the Mathematics Department at CUHK." ——The Little Prince of Mathematics Olympiad

" @Little Prince of Mathematics Olympiad, Fudan's mathematics department is also good, and Fudan is also a member of the Ivy Alliance. You can apply to go to the Chinese University of Science and Technology for exchange." - Just do the math.

"Is the Creeper Alliance a Xiamidongdong?" - Ming Jueli

" @If you don't know what's wrong, you can go to Science Home and search it, and you'll know it naturally." - Just do some calculations.

"My idol is still so handsome!" - brainless fan

"Shengmei has been selling posters and videos of the great master recently, and I feel that Shengmei has suffered a lot of losses." - Martian

People on the Internet are constantly discussing this topic. Although it is not as popular as the Wandering Starry Sky and Cretaceous Past anime that have recently dominated the screen, the number of viewers for this live broadcast is also quite high, with the peak number of viewers reaching 5.77 million.

It can be seen that Huang Mingzhe's influence is increasing day by day.

In the evening, the national news also edited and broadcast some clips of this mathematics conference. After all, Huang Mingzhe's winning of the Fields Medal was already a certainty, so it was natural to vigorously publicize it.

Even though there are some tricks in these awards themselves, Huang Mingzhe's results forced them to make a choice.

If the 2014 Fields Medal is not awarded to Huang Mingzhe, the entire mathematical community will probably doubt the authority and impartiality of the Fields Medal.

Anyway, the Norwegian Academy of Sciences has decided to award this year’s Abel Prize to Huang Mingzhe.

Now it is no longer these awards that make Huang Mingzhe successful, but these awards need to maintain their own authority and fairness. They have to give them out even if they don't give them out. It's that simple.

the other side.

On July 25, John Kelly, director of the Clay Institute, and a group of media reporters found Huang Mingzhe who was having academic exchanges.

After John Kelly shook hands with Huang Mingzhe: "Mr. Huang, congratulations on cracking the Hodge conjecture and adding another glorious page to human mathematics. On behalf of the Clay Mathematics Institute, I award you a lifetime honorary researcher and a million dollars for solving the Hodge conjecture." bonus."

Immediately came a certificate of honor and a check for $1 million from Citibank.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person. Since they came to give money, Huang Mingzhe naturally smiled and accepted: "I am very grateful to the Clay Institute and mathematicians around the world for their recognition."

The reporter quickly pressed the shutter, then answered some questions from the reporter, and then National News conducted an exclusive interview with Huang Mingzhe.

As the leader of the official media, he still had to give some face. After conducting an exclusive interview for fifteen minutes, Huang Mingzhe left.

On July 26, the CUHK Mathematics Conference officially concluded, and all the mathematicians went back to their homes with both gains and frustrations.

Huang Mingzhe personally sent Qiu Chengtong, Pierre Deligne, Andrew Wiles, Gerd Faltings and others to Baiyun Airport.

Watching the plane leave the ground, he called Zhu Xiping and returned directly to Shanmei.
