Ultimate Scholar

on the rostrum.

"Then congratulations again, Lee, for winning the Ramanujin Award."

"We have always paid great attention to the scientific development of developing countries, especially in mathematics and physics."

"And we are very surprised that after so many years of waiting, a genius like you has emerged from a developing country."

"This Ramanujan Award should belong to you!"

Afterwards, Atish presented the Ramanu Gold Award certificate to Li Mu.

The audience off the court also clapped their hands, but many people couldn't help complaining.

Huaguo, can that be considered a developing country?

The world's second largest economy, the world's factory, and a population of more than one billion...

When per capita is not considered, to some foreigners, Huaguo really does not look like a developing country.

On the stage, Li Mu also received the Ramanujin Award certificate from Atish again.

The Ramanujan Award has no medals, only a certificate and a reward of 15,000 US dollars. Of course, in terms of monetary rewards alone, it is 10,000 more than the 5,000 US dollars of the Dirac Award.

However, these monetary rewards are basically just a formality. Compared with the value of the award itself, these monetary rewards are nothing—unless it is like the Nobel Prize, which directly rewards 8 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to $1.1 million.

Probably it is precisely because of this huge monetary reward that the Nobel Prize has become the most famous award in the world.

"Then, can I just say a few words to everyone?"

Atish smiled and said to Li Mu.

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, okay, so we can only say a few more words?

There is a feeling of going to the stage to accept the award when the nocturne is played.

"Thanks to ICTP, the International Mathematical Union, and the Ministry of Science and Technology of India for awarding me this award."

"Of course, I also want to thank my country more."

"In my country, a respectable predecessor once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. At the same time, he once said that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education."

"So my country, even when it was the poorest and the poorest, never gave up its emphasis on education, and until this century, my country has also established the world's largest compulsory education system, and every child can enjoy it. Compulsory education at junior high school level."

"I was very lucky to be born in this country and it was through this education that I grew up to where I am today."

"Although we are still a developing country, I believe that my country has great potential."

"Of course, I also hope that all developing countries in the world will work together to develop their own science and education. It will never be too late for a scientific and educational power."

"Thanks!"

Li Mu bowed solemnly, and there was even more enthusiastic applause from the audience.

At this time, these foreigners knew that Huaguo would provide compulsory education for every child, even if it was only at the junior high school level, which was beyond the imagination of people from other countries.

Therefore, their applause this time really came from the heart.

Hearing the applause from the audience, Li Mu also smiled slightly.

Although there are still various problems in the domestic education system, there is nothing to criticize when it comes to compulsory education.

Enough to make any countryman proud.

Atish next to him was also surprised. While applauding, he also said to Li Mu: "I really didn't expect that there is such a system in your country. I will definitely make a proposal to our Congress in the future. study."

"Really? Then I wish you success." Li Mu said with a smile: "Believe me, this is definitely one of the greatest policies in human history."

"I think so too." Atish agreed deeply.

Li Mu nodded, then smiled and said: "It seems that I can go down."

Atish nodded with a smile, and then wanted to send Li Mu down, but at this moment, someone stood up from the audience.

"Li Mu, I have a question to ask you!"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect an accident to happen, and Li Mu also turned his head to look at the person who asked the question.

It was Qiu Chengtong!

"Professor Qiu, tell me, what's the problem?"

Li Mu turned around and faced Qiu Chengtong, with some doubts on his face.

"Sorry to bother everyone."

Qiu Chengtong bowed slightly to the surroundings first, expressing his apology.

Of course, everyone else around smiled at him.

People said one after another: "Professor Qiu is serious."

Anyone will respect such a heavyweight scholar.

Qiu Chengtong smiled, then looked at Li Mu, and said, "Actually, I really can't help it."

"When I got the Dirac Medal just now, I wanted to ask, but now, it happens that you are winning the mathematics award, and I also believe that many of the mathematics colleagues present are already eager to know."

"Goldbach's conjecture, you... proved it?"

As soon as Qiu Chengtong's question came out, the audience was in an uproar again.

Goldbach Conjecture?

Those mathematicians immediately sat up straight, looked at Li Mu closely, jokingly, they really care about this issue very much!

The other physicists were amazed. Although they studied physics, of course they had heard of the name of Goldbach's conjecture.

This is arguably one of the most famous questions in science.

Li Mu actually proved this problem before participating in this meeting?

None of these physicists were shocked.

Of course, Atish finally realized why those mathematicians behaved so strangely just because of this matter!

Gift crab, Goldbach guesses?

Looking at the young man in front of him, Atish shook his head with a wry smile.

While receiving the award, he also solved a well-known problem?

However, his surface was still so calm, as if nothing had happened...

What an enviable talent...

At this moment, Li Mu, who became the focus of the audience, did not expect that Qiu Chengtong would ask this question.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "The Goldbach conjecture is a conjecture full of difficulties."

"But I also always believe that no matter how difficult the conjecture is, it will be solved sooner or later."

"Maybe it's in my hands, maybe it's in someone else's hands."

"Now, I believe, Goldbach's conjecture has come to an end in my hands."

"It's just waiting for the verification of the mathematical community."

He smiled.

Qiu Chengtong laughed loudly: "Okay! It's you!"

Probably only Li Mu could say this with such confidence.

"Of course, I will also tell you a good news by the way. Just now, Schulz and Faltings have jointly expressed their views on mathoverflow."

"They expressed a lot of confidence in your proof. Thinking about it, you probably succeeded again this time."

Hearing the news from Qiu Chengtong, many mathematicians present were taken aback. Even Schulz and Faltings expressed confidence in Li Mu's thesis?

And relying on Li Mu's previous achievements...

Good guy, Goldbach's conjecture, it seems that it is really going to be solved, and it has evolved into another theorem.

Li Mu on stage was a little surprised, mathoverflow?

Naturally, he also knows this website, which is a well-known online communication platform in their mathematics circle, where various well-known mathematicians appear from time to time.

Have Schulz and Faltings actually jointly evaluated his paper on this?

Of course, he was stunned for a moment, and soon he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for telling me the news."

Qiu Chengtong also nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I have finished asking my questions, and I would like to express my apologies to everyone and Chairman Atish for disturbing the progress of the conference."

Atish said with a smile: "No, no, no, of course this is not an interruption to the progress of the conference. This is a surprise for our conference! I really hope that there will be more surprises like this."

There was laughter in the venue.

Indeed, the ICTP conference originally included theoretical physics and mathematics, so this matter is of course a surprise.

After all, not everyone is aware of this matter. In the past two days, many people present have not paid too much attention to the news of the academic world because they came to participate in this conference.

In this way, the awarding of the Ramanujan Prize has come to an end, and the awarding of other awards will continue.

In addition to these two awards, there are ICTP Awards, ICO/ICTP GD Awards, and Walter Cohen Awards.

Among them, the ICTP award is also awarded to young scientists from developing countries.

The people present even thought that this award would also be awarded to Li Mu, but they were all relieved that this award was awarded to someone else. \b

Although Li Mu also has this qualification, ICTP still needs to take care of the feelings of other scholars.

After all, rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, it's about the way of the world.

Of course, because of Goldbach's conjecture, these scholars present will be distracted from time to time to pay attention to related news, for example, go to mathoverflow to see the post jointly posted by the two big shots.

In this way, the meeting finally came to an end.

Afterwards, news of various winners was also spread.

Among them, the news that Li Mu won two awards in a row and was the only recipient of the Dirac Medal this year received the most attention.

Because, even with this news, the news of [Li Mu proving Goldbach's conjecture] also spread.

All of a sudden, the voices of discussions on various related forums boiled up.

Mathoverflow, that post by Faltings and Schultz.

The post was by Schultz.

[...Faltings and I happened to be in the Institute of Mathematics of the Max Planck Society for the past two days. When we saw this paper, we were immediately shocked!

I really can't believe that Li actually came up with such a wonderful proof...

The combination of elliptic curve and K-module theory makes me amazed!

...]

Schultz blew violently, and the location on the second floor was Faltings' evaluation.

[I must admit that now Lee is the fourth best mathematician I have ever met in my life. 】

And under the replies of the two big shots, all kinds of people who eat melons are boiling.
