I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 597 I hope you can surpass him one day
Zurich is the wealthiest city in Europe and has been rated as one of the most livable cities.The headquarters of more than 120 banks around the world take root here, making it the most famous offshore banking center in the world.

In addition to its financial status, its ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich are also world-renowned, ranking 10th and 79th in the QS World University Rankings.

Zurich's attractions are mainly various cathedrals, as well as the National Museum, Niederdorf Pedestrian Street, Augustin Lane, Bahnhofstrasse, etc.

Qin Ke has always believed that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, so when he has a rare opportunity to go abroad, he will usually make a more rigorous sightseeing and travel plan. Show them that they are ready.

This time coming to Zurich was no exception. After leaving the airport and checking into the hotel to rest for half a day, he held hands with Ning Qingjun and first visited several famous scenic spots in Zurich for two days.

The ancient Zurich Cathedral full of Roman architectural style and beautiful painted stained glass, the bustling commercial street Bahnhofstrasse in the middle ages, the Augustine's alley with a very literary atmosphere, and the National Museum that makes people linger...all left Following the footsteps of the two sweet walks.

After boating on the most beautiful Lake Zurich in Switzerland and feeding white swans and pigeons, the last two came to ETH Zurich.

This is one of the top universities in the world. It has produced 21 Nobel Prize winners including Einstein, and its Department of Mathematics ranks 8th in the world.But this time they are not here to visit, but to accept the award.

The headquarters of the Swiss Ostroski Foundation is in Zurich, but the award ceremony and academic exchange will of course not be held at their headquarters, but the most famous ETH Zurich.

Awarding and reporting, the process of receiving the Ostroski Award is almost the same as that of other awards, but the appearance of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun this time caused more hot scenes than before, especially Qin Ke, which proved that Riemann He guessed that he became a real academic star and the most dazzling mathematician in the world today.

Similar to Oxford University, many students at ETH Zurich ignored skin color, race and nationality, and became fans of Qin Ke directly, especially Qin Ke gave a one-hour report entitled "Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis" Finally, the content of the report, which was simple and in-depth, connected more than a dozen sub-disciplines of mathematics with invisible lines, which immediately caused a big sensation. Some people called it "the embryonic form of the unification of mathematics".

And in the question-and-answer session, there was no malicious difficulty or confusion among the audience.

Since he proved the Riemann Hypothesis, and holds the academic status of several international awards in his hand, even the Philippine award boss has to avoid it-after all, the young mathematician who is only 20 years old in front of him is very likely to be Join the ranks of Fields Medal winners.

The entire academic exchange meeting ended in a warm, harmonious and friendly atmosphere, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun each had a certificate, a beautiful medal, and a check for 75 Swiss francs (approximately [-] million yuan).

Zurich has a well-developed international banking industry. Qin and Ke easily exchanged the money in the check into US dollars, transferred it to their bank account in the United States, and continued to use it to "catch money" in the US stock market.

Now Ning Qingyun is mainly responsible for this work, and Qin Ke will also participate from time to time.

In their spare time, the two spared time to perfect the mathematical model of automatic trading, and then the artificial intelligence "Shimmer" executed the automatic trading. The types of transactions included short-buying and short-selling options and futures operations, and individual stock trading. The interval between each transaction was as long as two Months, as short as three days, in most cases, there can be a profit of about 5% to 10%, of course, there are also cases of failure and loss.

But in general, after more than seven months of automatic transactions, the balance in the accounts of the two in the United States has increased from more than 300 million to nearly 1000 million US dollars, a growth rate of nearly 300%.This is also thanks to the unilateral decline in the U.S. stock market in the bear market in recent years, which makes the success rate of short selling operations extremely high.

Gossip aside, after the academic exchange meeting for the Ostroski Award, a large number of reporters flocked to interview. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun answered some questions with ease. When asked whether they were confident of winning the Fields Award At that time, Qin Ke smiled and said: "Whether I can win the award is not up to me, but to the judges, but I will do my best. It is my goal to win such the top award in the international mathematics field."

Ning Qingyun's answer was simpler: "I believe that the jury of IMU will make a fair judgment."

Taking safety into consideration, Chen Ming and Chen Lan blocked the reporters after they accepted the 10-minute interview, and Zheng Haiqiao led them away through the back door.

Journalists could only interview teachers and students at ETH Zurich.

Theodore Amishitia, a professor of mathematics at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, said frankly: "Both of them are very good mathematicians, especially Professor Qin Ke, who has quick thinking and profound knowledge of mathematics. The most amazing genius mathematician ever. I once had a ten-minute exchange with him at a dinner party. You can’t understand how I felt at that time. He can be connected, and he has studied more deeply than me, and I don’t even think he has any shortcomings in mathematics. Yes, my evaluation of him is so high.”

Student Steele Poole said: "Professor Qin Ke's report is very exciting, and this time he mainly talks about ideas, not about the detailed proof process. )” to listen, most of them can understand, I never thought that I also understand how to prove the Riemann conjecture. My God, he is already the most powerful god of mathematics in my heart.”

Soon, the media in Zurich had news headlines:
"The Greatest Genius Mathematician?An encyclopedic math god?Qin Ke successfully convinced the teachers and students of ETH Zurich! "

"From the theme of this report, we can see Qin Ke's ambition, he already has the idea of ​​completing the great goal of mathematics unification!" "

"Zinke's Mathematics Sweeps Zurich, Is there Little Suspense About the Fields Medal? "

"A new God of Mathematics is about to be born?Let us wait and see the International Congress of Mathematicians in a week's time! "

……

Amidst the noise in Zurich, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not leave Switzerland directly for Berlin, but arrived in Basel first.

Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland and a transportation hub connecting Germany, Brickland and Switzerland.It is not a tourist city with many scenic spots. Qin and Ke chose to come here because they wanted to take a train from here to Berlin and experience the most famous railway scenery in Europe. They also wanted to stay here for a day and visit it. The memorial hall of the former residence of Euler, the god of mathematics.

Leonhard Euler is the greatest mathematician in the history of mathematics. His contribution to mathematics is rare in history, and he is proficient in almost every sub-subject of mathematics at that time.Today, we can still see equations, theorems, and formulas named after Euler in most fields of mathematics, such as Euler lines in elementary geometry, Euler transformation formulas in solid analytic geometry, Euler functions in number theory, and polyhedrons. Euler's theorem, Euler's formula for complex variable functions, Euler's equation for variational method, etc.

For someone like Qin Ke who loves mathematics since childhood, Euler is more than an idol than an idol.

Even now that he is pursuing the "God of Mathematics" mathematics level he wants to achieve, the historical figures he is targeting are Euler, Gauss, Riemann, etc.

Euler is most admired for his attitude towards learning, seriousness, concentration, and diligence. As a mathematician, Euler is almost impeccable. In his 76 years of life, he has written countless papers and books. The Swiss Natural Science Foundation There are 84 volumes of "The Complete Works of Euler" organized by the society, each volume is more than 500 pages thick.And this is only part of it, because a large part of the manuscripts left by Euler were destroyed by fire.

The most unbelievable thing is that this is a miraculous achievement completed in Euler's middle age, when his eyesight deteriorated and even suffered from blindness.

So even Gauss, another god of mathematics, admired Euler very much, and publicly said: "Studying Euler's works is always the best way to understand mathematics."

In addition, Euler was still a patriot. Even if he moved to another country for the rest of his life, he was reused by big figures including Tsar Catherine I and Peter the Great of Prussia, and became a popular mathematician. He never changed his nationality.

He is also extremely dedicated to love. He has only one wife in his life, and he has no lovers or ambiguous objects. You must know that he was a brilliant mathematics master during Xiongguo and Deguo, and he was deeply loved by students.

As the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace said: "Read Euler, he is the mentor of all of us", the more you study Euler, the more you discover, whether it is academic Attitude, attitude to life, and attitude to fighting suffering, Euler is a well-deserved idol.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun strolled in the Euler Memorial Hall, and spent a whole day reading his biography carefully, looking at his manuscripts and photos, and looking back at the life of a generation of great mathematics masters. Feelings and touches.

In the evening, accompanied by Chen Ming, Chen Lan and others, the two reluctantly left the Euler Memorial Hall and got on the train to Berlin.

While peeling an apple for Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun asked, "Qin Xiaoke, what do you think is the best thing about Euler?"

Qin Ke blinked, looked at the girl's beautiful face, and said with a smile: "I know and love my wife, have a full house of children and grandchildren, and have a happy family. This is my role model and ideal life."

Ning Qingyun's little face turned red immediately, especially at this time Chen Ming and Chen Lan were still sitting next to Qin Ke and her, one on the left and one on the right, and how could they not be ashamed when they said such love words in front of outsiders? The girl who has always been very tender feels shy?

She lowered her eyes and stopped talking to Qin Ke.

Qin Ke smiled and turned to talk to Chen Ming: "Brother Ming, you also visited the Euler Memorial Hall with us, how do you feel?"

Chen Ming never talked much, if he didn't talk to him, he could not say a word for a day.

However, he and Qin Ke have become very familiar with each other over the years, so it is rare for him to say a long sentence: "Don't embarrass me, a high school graduate, I want to yawn after reading that pile of words , I just know that he is one of the greatest mathematicians in history..."

Chen Ming paused, and continued: "I hope you can surpass him one day."

Qin Ke couldn't help laughing: "Brother Ming, you think highly of me, don't you? Shall I give you an autograph in advance? Maybe I can sell it for a sky-high price in the future."

Chen Ming actually took out a small notebook and pen and handed it to Qin Ke: "You said it."

Qin Ke rubbed his nose: "Brother Ming, I'm just kidding."

Chen Ming still put the small book in front of Qin Ke.

Qin Ke had no choice but to sign his name. This time he used artistic fonts, which was different from the previous block letter signatures, and it was a unique signature.

Chen Ming was used to seeing his signature, and his eyes lit up when he saw this distinctive signature. Knowing that Qin Ke was giving him special treatment, his eyes couldn't help but shine with gratitude.

Qin Ke smiled when he saw this, and handed it to Ning Qingyun after signing, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Ming wants to collect it, then add your signature, it may be more valuable."

Ning Qingyun rolled his pretty eyes at him angrily, took the notebook and the pen, and signed her name next to the word "Qin Ke" in a graceful and beautiful font.

Chen Lan, who was sitting next to her, quickly took out a small notebook and handed it over: "I want it too."

"Brother Ming can take this, right? You two share one?" Qin Ke said and pushed Chen Ming quietly.

In the past few years, Chen Ming and Chen Lan have been partners with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he has no feelings, but he is introverted and dull. At this time, Qin Ke's assist immediately made him a little dark His face turned red, and he opened his mouth uncomfortably, but he couldn't utter a word.

Chen Lan glanced at Chen Ming whose eyes were twinkling, then put the notebook in front of Ning Qingyun, and repeated: "I want it too."

"Okay then, Sister Lan, I'll sign for you first." Qin Ke took it and wrote on it: "To Chen Ming, Chen Lan, Qin Ke, October 20, 10XX." To Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingjun pursed her lips and smiled lightly, followed by writing the same words and signing her name.

Chen Lan looked at this special signature speechlessly, hesitated for a moment, and put it away.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at the same time. Zheng Haiqiao and other entourage sitting on the other side couldn't help but smile too.

With such a small episode, the journey will be much more fun. In addition, Qin Ke has already done his homework, and introduces some scenery, human history from time to time along the way. Feel time flies.

Seven hours later, the group arrived in Berlin, preparing to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians a day later.

The International Congress of Mathematicians is the highest-level and most influential mathematical event in the mathematics field. Every session, two to four Fields Medal winners will be selected.

In the world of martial arts, this is the martial arts conference where the leader of the martial arts is elected.

这届的IMU国际数学家大会在柏林的国际会议中心举办，从11月1日至11月9日，持续9天。

The first 8 days are academic reports. More than 100 outstanding mathematicians from all over the world and in different research fields will give academic reports of 1 hour, 45 minutes and 30 minutes respectively, sharing their achievements and achievements in their respective fields. progress.

It is a high academic honor to be able to give a report in front of mathematicians all over the world, and it is enough to write in the personal brief, because it represents the personal mathematical research results and has important influence in the world.

The academic reports and previous mathematical achievements of these mathematicians will become an important basis for IMU to select the winners of the Fields Medal.
