From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 216 Call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Not long after, the president of Shuimu University brought a group of reporters outside Zhou Yi's room.

The principal knocked on the door very politely, Zheng Keyu was very good at coming, saw Zhou Yi acquiesced and opened the door directly,

He said to Principal Qiu:
"Principal Qiu, please come in."

Principal Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart, and they were very helpless towards Zhou Yi.

The possibility of keeping Zhou Yi is almost zero.

Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study is now basically well known in China.

Although he is the principal of a top 2 university, it is still difficult to show off in front of Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi's current academic achievements are not low. There may be less than five people who are still alive in the Great Xia Kingdom and can be compared with him.

Principal Qiu said:
"Professor Zhou, although we know that you don't like participating in these interviews, you see, they are all official media, and you have discovered a new God particle. It is indeed a remarkable thing and worth publicizing."

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, Principal Qiu, come with me."

Not long after, Zhou Yi and others came to the office next door, which was the office where Zhou Yi was studying for graduate school.

There are many official media, such as CTV, Renren Daily, Science and Technology News, Education News, Mathematics Official News, Daxia Mathematics Association News, and many other official media.

An official media asked:
"Professor Zhou, in what state did you discover the new God particle?"

Zhou Yi said very humbly:

"It was an amazing night of inspiration, but I think it was more about hard work."

Another official media asked:
"Professor Zhou, you suddenly study physics, do you want to switch from the field of mathematics to physics?"

Zhou Yi replied:
"It's not like that, physics is just a matter of convenience, I'm actually a mathematician with roots.

Mathematics is the truth that I pursue all my life. "

The corners of the mouths of many media twitched, and they muttered in their hearts. Fortunately, they already had experience in interviewing Zhou Yi.

I know that this master will say a few nasty words from time to time.

With ease, the Higgs boson that everyone has been looking forward to has been measured.

It's easy to discover a new God particle, and your speaking level is still the same as before, which is great.

Another media asked:
"May I ask Professor Zhou to give a few words of encouragement to the younger generation in academia?"

Zhou Yi Balabala had a meal of chicken soup before concluding the interview.

The difference between official media and other self-media is that they don't mess around or ask random questions.

know the measure.

Even the Daxia Mathematics Association Journal, which has always been at odds with the Qiu Chengtong Mathematical Sciences Center of Shuimu University, dared not ask some outrageous questions.

After the interview, Zhou Yi returned to the room to continue writing Polignac's conjecture,

Various media have released the content of the interview.

Zhou Yi's coquettish remarks made netizens boil again.

[I have a Ph.D. in a certain physics direction of C9. I can't understand Professor Zhou Yi's thesis at all, /狗头/狗头. 】

[Professor Zhou's easy going is okay? 】

[You have worked so hard to study something all your life, and it is not as powerful as Professor Zhou's effort. 】

[Pure deer man, may I ask, what is Professor Zhou's current level of physics in the world? 】

[Upstairs, I am an insider,
Professor Zhou Yi must be at least at the level of a Nobel Prize, but this result alone is not enough. After all, this is the data of CERN, but Professor Zhou Yi discovered it first, and physicists at CERN can also find it later.

If CERN does not publish the data of the third phase later, it will be impossible for Professor Zhou Yi to continue to measure the width of the shelled Higgs boson.It also means that Professor Zhou Yi can't be the first to discover new physics, can't publish papers, and can't win the Nobel Prize. 】

[Then the upstairs replied, I am also an insider, unless we were repairing the Large Hadron Collider a long time ago, but it is too late to repair it now.

If you didn’t repair it at the beginning, you won’t judge whether it’s right or wrong. Now, if you want to repair it, there is probably a lot of resistance. Of course, the main reason is that you don’t have money, but even if you have money and a lot of equipment, you have to buy foreign equipment. It’s very troublesome, so this is already what Professor Zhou Yi can do. Extreme. 】

Just when Zhou Yi was concentrating on writing his thesis, a call came to Zhou Yi's cell phone.

Zhou Yi saw an unfamiliar phone call, and subconsciously prepared to hang up.

But after thinking about it, since Peony can block harassing calls, it seems that no ordinary person can call her.

So Zhou Yi picked up the phone and connected directly.

"Hello, are you Professor Zhou Yi?"

The other party's crappy Daxia Mandarin made Zhou Yi feel very awkward, and he looked like a foreigner.

Zhou Yi said:

"It's me, I'm Zhou Yi. May I ask who you are?"

The other said:

"Hello, Professor Zhou Yi, we are Golan Hansen, Secretary-General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

Zhou Yi looked confused, Goran Hansen, Secretary-General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?

Is it possible to give me the Nobel Prize for Physicists?
My thesis is not good enough either.

Unless the width of the shelled Higgs boson is calculated.

Zhou Yi said very politely:
"Hi, do you know what's going on?"

Golan Hansen said with great respect:
"Professor Zhou Yi, due to your extraordinary achievements in the field of mathematics, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Crafford Foundation unanimously decided to award you the Crafford Award, and would like to invite you to attend the award ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden on October 10. "

Although Zhou Yi just guessed that it would not be the Nobel Prize in Physics, he also guessed that it would be the Craford Prize with a high probability.

Because Zhou Yi's teachers Qiu Chengtong and Deligne started writing nomination letters for Zhou Yi very early.

It's just that Zhou Yi has not paid attention to it.

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay, I'll go."

Golan Hansen, secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said:

"It is really our honor, we are very happy that Professor Zhou Yi is willing to attend our award ceremony,
I would also like to invite Professor Zhou Yi to give us a lecture, which is also a tradition for awardees. "

Zhou Yi thought for a while and said:
"Well, there may be a special lecture then."

"We are looking forward to a special speech."

The voice on the phone said,

"Of course, your air ticket and all other expenses this time will be fully borne by our Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences."

Zhou Yi didn't refuse either, because Zhou Yi wanted to make money to repair the Large Hadron Collider.

Save a little if you can.

The Large Hadron Collider may be able to bring a lot of convenience to Zhou Yi, and even an all-round technological change.

Not long after, Zhou Yi chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.

Then the information of Ruiduan Royal Academy of Sciences appeared in Zhouyi's mind.

The leader of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is the president, as well as three vice-presidents who assist the president, in addition to a full-time secretary-general, who form the presidium of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

The functional management body is a committee composed of the bureau and 12 members, which is mainly responsible for the formulation of the Academy of Sciences plan and ensuring the full use of existing resources.

The daily work of the Academy of Sciences is carried out by branch committees in various fields.

The current president of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is Dan Larhammar,
As for Golan Hansen, Zhou Yi remembered correctly, it seemed that he was really the secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Zhou Yi said he didn't care about a medal comparable to the Nobel Prize, but he still wanted it in his heart.

With this medal, it will be more confident to come back and tell the people above that we want to build a large hadron collider.

At the beginning, my teacher Qiu and Mr. Yang had been arguing about this matter for a long time in 16.

But in the end, it was shelved due to various factors.

Now that it has been a full 7 years, the pattern has undergone subtle changes, and Zhou Yi feels that it is time for a change.

As for The Crafoord Prize, it is a world-wide scientific award that is almost as famous as the Nobel Prize. It was established by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1980, and the fund comes from Holger Crafoord and others. Wife Anna-Greta (Anna-Greta) donation.

The awarding disciplines include mathematics, earth sciences, astronomy and biological sciences, and are awarded once a year to reward outstanding achievements in one of the disciplines.Bonus: 50 Mg.

The first award was issued in 1982.

The winners were Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold and ugly Canadian mathematician Louis Nirenberg for their work in the field of nonlinear differential equations.

The first woman to be awarded the award was American astronomer Andrea M. Ghez in 2012.

And Zhou Yi is the third person of Chinese origin to win this award. The first is Yau Shing-tung, the second is Tao Zhexuan, and the third is Zhou Yi.

As for the nationality of Daxia, Zhouyi is the first one.

Therefore, the Crawford Prize is also known as the Nobel Prize. Compared with the three major mathematics awards, the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, and the Wolf Prize, although slightly inferior, they are full of gold.

Belongs to the fourth medal of mathematics.

The reason why Zhou Yi’s teacher Qiu Chengtong failed to win the Abel Prize is very simple, because his apprentice, academician Tian Zhen, is a member of the Abel Prize jury.

If Academician Tian Zhen does not retire from the Abel Prize jury, it will be very difficult for Mr. Qiu to win the Abel Prize.

The six apprentices in Zhouyi's room were stunned.

My teacher actually won the prize again.

How long has it been? Do you want to award the prize in the mathematics world to your teacher immediately?

This is the Crawford Award.

The first person of Daxia nationality to receive this award.

Sansheng was fortunate to study with such a fierce teacher, and his choice at the beginning was simply too correct.

The six of them came up with this idea at the same time.

Tao Terence was the youngest person to win the Craford Award at the beginning, and now the minimum age has to be changed again.

It must be their mentor Zhou Yi!
Zhou Yi looked at the excited six students and said:
"Don't spread this matter to the outside world. I will spread it later when I win the prize. Keep a low profile, understand?"

Six students:

"Understand, understand, we will definitely cooperate with Mr. Zhou to pretend to be aggressive."

Zhou Yi:? ? ? .

Can scholars' affairs be called pretense?
This is called winning glory for the country, okay?
"Okay, let's study. I have to book a plane ticket. I need to go two days in advance. Today is October 10th."

Zhou Yi said lightly.

Just when Zhou Yi had a headache about the visa issue,
Principal Qiu and Zhou Yi's teacher Qiu Chengtong, who went back and forth, have hurried to Zhou Yi's office.

Qiu Chengtong's first sentence when he entered the door was:

"Did the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences call you?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Yes, that's right."

Principal Qiu said:
"Hahaha, well done, the first person of Daxia nationality to win the Crawford Award came from our Shuimu University,
I see what Beijing University said, even if you return to Yuzhou Advanced Research Institute in the future, you used to be a professor of our Shuimu University, and it is also an honor for our Shuimu University. "

Zhou Yi said:

"Principal Qiu help me book a plane ticket and complete the formalities for going abroad?"

Principal Qiu said:
"Okay! These are all right, and there will definitely be arrangements above, but Sweden should not be so chaotic.

After all, Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. "

Zhou Yi originally wanted to call the upper management, but now it seems unnecessary,
Someone above should arrange it.

Moreover, Zhou Yi also has a lot of self-defense methods, and he is not very afraid.

After all, Qiu Chengtong won the Crawford Award, as if he remembered something, he said:

"What are you going to report on in your report?"

Zhou Yi said:

"The proof process of the Polignac conjecture."

Qiu Chengtong:.

It seems that this apprentice is going to do something again.

Not long after, Principal Qiu had already obtained the approval from above, and said with a shocked face:

"It's terrible. The higher authorities have decided to send a special plane to send you Professor Zhou. In addition, the embassy and several secret departments will cooperate to protect your safety."

Zhou Yi: . .

"I really didn't expect it to be so troublesome to go out. I just made a few small applications. These small applications can't even change the world structure, or even the ordinary business structure."

Qiu Chengtong said very solemnly:

"Generally speaking, a theoretical mathematician and a theoretical physicist are not likely to be harmed, but this is just in case, you should not take it lightly, you know?"

Zhou Yi said:

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Qiu, and thank you, Principal Qiu. What time is it?"

Principal Qiu said with a questioning tone:

"The 12th day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Yi said:

"no problem."

Zhou Yi didn't expect that it turned out to be a special plane to pick him up, and the cards were really full.

After Qiu Chengtong and President Qiu of Shuimu University left, Zhou Yi continued to improve his thesis.

The so-called Polignac's conjecture, in mathematical language, is that for all natural numbers k, there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers (p, p + 2k).

The case where k = 1 is the twin prime conjecture.

The twin prime conjecture has been proved by Zhou Yi,
Now it is necessary to extend to the form where K is infinite.

The method used in Zhouyi still uses its own Zhou's analytical method,
With Selberg's improved sieve and circle method,
It's just that the process of proof is somewhat the same as that of the twin prime number conjecture.

The basic Zhou's analysis method is mature, so it is very easy to write Zhouyi now, the thinking is very smooth, and there is no bottleneck at all.

Zhouyi is expected to be completely finished before the 12th.

After winning the award, it can be published directly on the "Journal of Mathematics of Yuzhou Higher Academy".

It was not until dinner in the afternoon that Zhou Yi stretched his waist and got up to go to the cafeteria to have dinner with his fiancée.
