From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 299 Zhang Yitang Wins the Wolf Prize in Mathematics
The adjustment of the research direction and the formulation of research reports by each group cannot be completed overnight.

The team leader needs to discuss the research direction with the team members, and then check the information and discuss the research method. It will take a month during this period.

One month later, Ye Fei's office!
Ye Fei sat at his desk and looked at the research reports sent by the various teams on the computer. After making some revisions, Ye Fei sent the report back.

Then each group made revisions and sent them to Ye Fei. Ye Fei revised them again and then sent them to each group.

There must be at least five back and forth between this.

Ye Fei divided the group into seven groups, namely the radiation state equation group, the self-gravity radiation system group, the entropy group, the gravitational collapse group, the black hole entropy group, the total entropy group and the universe modeling group.

Each group researches differently but cooperates with each other.

After a month and a half, everything was ready for the study, after which the study began.

Looking at the research data in the new newspaper, Ye Fei sighed in his heart: "As I thought before, the research speed is really very fast."

"At this speed, the research can be completed in another two months!"

"Afterwards, the dark matter detector can be sent to the dark universe." Ye Fei's eyes lit up: "I can see the dark matter that the physical world has been exploring for a long time."

Ye Fei is very curious about dark matter. He really wants to know whether dark matter exists.

According to speculation, dark matter is everywhere in every corner of the universe.

Such a miraculous thing, Ye Fei wants to know what it is and what it does.

"By the way, the dark matter detector made by the satellite department based on my research should have been researched!"

The instant shuttle technology has been successfully researched. Previously, the instant shuttle technology was used to manufacture an aircraft engine, allowing the aircraft to fly from Kyoto to Shanghai in 1 minute.

Now, the accelerator for the dark matter detector is developed based on the instant shuttle technology.

Of course, the instant shuttle technology is specially developed for the accelerator of dark matter detectors.

Therefore, the speed of dark matter detectors is much faster than that of airplanes.

After Ye Fei finished speaking, he picked up the phone and called Director Yang of the satellite department, and the call was quickly connected.

Ye Fei said, "Hey, Director Yang? I'm Ye Fei!"

"Academician Ye, is there something wrong?"

Director Yang is standing in the workshop at the moment, watching many researchers manipulating machines to manufacture dark matter detectors.

A dark matter detector is like a bird with wings.

In the middle is a cuboid with long square wings extending from each side.

Many machines flickering sparks operate on dark matter detectors.

Ye Feidao: "Director Yang, I want to ask if the dark matter detector is ready?"

"My side expects to succeed in research in two to three months."

Director Yang said: "It's almost here on my side, and the dark matter detector will be successfully manufactured in another month.

Ye Fei felt relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll just ask this, Director Yang, you are busy!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feixin said: "Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the progress is the same as I estimated."

"If all goes well, the research can be completed in August this year, and the dark matter detector can be launched in September."

"If my research is correct, then the lunar dark matter detector can enter the dark universe, and then you can see dark matter."

Ye Fei said with bright eyes: "At that time, I will also know what this dark matter that has plagued the physics world for more than 100 years is."

Dark matter was proposed by astronomer Captan in 1922. It predicted that there may be an invisible unknown matter in the universe, named dark matter.

Time flies like water, and it's the end of July in a blink of an eye!
A month ago, Ye Fei went to the Kyoto Satellite Department to check the dark matter detector that had been built.

Through machine detection, the manufactured dark matter detector has a speed of Mach 6000.

It is one hundred times faster than the speed of the aircraft engine produced by the instant shuttle technology.

Ye Fei estimated that due to air resistance, the speed of the earth will drop a lot. After entering space, the speed will increase a little, and it will be tens of Mach faster.

Now wait for Ye Fei's successful research on the black hole arrangement, and then launch a dark matter detector.

On this day, Ye Fei was busy in the laboratory.

At this time, the assistant came over and said, "Dean, Vice President Zhang is looking for you."

"Huh?" Ye Fei turned to look at the assistant beside him in doubt, and asked, "Did he say he wanted me for something?"

Vice President Zhang is Zhang Yitang. Zhang Yitang seldom looks for Ye Fei when Ye Fei is working. He usually looks for Ye Fei during meals or after get off work at night.

The assistant shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, but looking at Vice President Zhang, he seems very excited."

When Ye Fei heard this, he had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure yet.

Ye Fei said, "Where is he?"

"In the lobby on the first floor!"

"Okay, I'll go down now."

Ye Fei looked at the researchers beside him and said, "Think carefully about what I just said."

"I'll go down to see Vice President Zhang, and I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, Dean!"

Ye Fei immediately stood up and walked out of the laboratory, and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

After a while, Ye Fei came out of the elevator, and saw Zhang Yitang standing in the hall from afar, who seemed very excited.

"Dean Zhang!" Ye Fei smiled and said, "I see you smiling from afar, what makes you so happy!"

Seeing Ye Fei, Zhang Yitang walked towards Ye Fei quickly, and before he reached Ye Fei, he said excitedly: "Dean Ye, I have won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

The Wolf Prize in Mathematics is one of the four major awards in mathematics, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

In terms of popularity, it is only worse than the Fields Medal.

But in terms of gold content, it is not much worse than the Fields Medal.

In the entire mathematics field, the Fields Medal ranks first, the Wolf Mathematics Prize ranks second, the Abel Prize ranks third, and the Chern Prize ranks fourth.

But among these four awards, the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics are the most well-known. The gap between the Abel Prize and the Shiingshen Chern Prize and the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics is quite large.

Therefore, every mathematician dreams of winning the Fields Medal and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Zhang Yitang is no exception!
When Ye Fei heard this, his eyes lit up, and it was exactly what he thought.

Look at the timing of this year's Wolf Prize ceremony, and it's about time.

Zhang Yitang spoke loudly, and his excited words could be clearly heard in the entire hall.

Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at Zhang Yitang. When they heard what he said, they all showed surprise on their faces.

Ye Fei clenched his fists and said with a smile, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Yitang walked up to Ye Fei and laughed.

Then he stretched out both hands, held Ye Fei's hand, shook it vigorously up and down, and said, "Dean Ye, thank you so much for all these years, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have proved the Landau-Siegel zero point so quickly. Guess, and you won’t win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.”

Ye Fei smiled and said, "I didn't help you much, all of this is your own efforts."

"If you hadn't insisted on studying the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture for many years, you wouldn't have proved the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture successfully, and you wouldn't have won the Wolff Prize in Mathematics."

"So, it's all your own effort."

"If it were someone else, no matter how much I help, I would not be able to prove the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture."

Ye Fei thought that he was of little help to Zhang Yitang.

If Zhang Yitang had not been studying the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture for many years, he would not have proved the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture so quickly.

And his own role is equivalent to the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Hearing this, Zhang Yitang was still very grateful and said, "That's still with your help."

"This time the Wolf Award ceremony, please be sure to attend."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "That's for sure. If you don't invite me, I'll be in a hurry with you."

"Haha..." Zhang Yitang laughed out loud when he heard this.

At this moment, Zhang Yitang is full of vigor, as if he has returned to the time when he first entered the field of mathematics.

At that time, he was also so high-spirited, thinking that the sky is the boss, the earth is the boss, and he is the third, but in the end he found that there are ten thousand and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine in front of him...

And he was outside the ten thousand.

Ye Fei asked: "When is the Wolf Award ceremony? Where is it held?"

Zhang Yitang said with a smile: "August NO.15, the location is in Jerusalem, Israel!"

Ye Fei nodded and said, "We will go together when the time comes."

"En!" Zhang Yitang nodded, and said, "Okay!"

An hour later, all the researchers of Ye Fei's Mathematics Research Institute, Cosmos Research Institute, Meta-Blockchain Research Institute, and Science Research Institute, as well as other staff members of the research institutes, all knew that Zhang Yitang had won this year's Wolff Award. mathematics prize.

When everyone saw Zhang Yitang on the road, they all went up to congratulate him.

On August [-], Ye Fei, Zhang Yitang, Mochizuki Shinichi and Zhang Yitang's family members flew to Jerusalem, Israel together.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, Ye Fei and the others arrived in Jerusalem, and then checked into the hotel contracted by the Wolf Foundation for the Wolf Award Ceremony.

Here, Ye Fei saw many top mathematicians in the world.

Of course, Ye Fei is now the world's top mathematician.

Many people came up to say hello when they saw Ye Fei, and Ye Fei chatted with them a lot.

The next day, early morning!
The annual Wolf Prize ceremony is held in the Knesset.

At this moment, it was just dawn, and many journalists from all over the world surrounded the entrance of the parliament.

CCTV reporters Yu Mengmeng, Tong Siyu, photographers and makeup artists stood together.

Yu Mengmeng looked at Tong Siyu and said, "Siyu, you have been studying with me for a long time, so come and report today."

"Me?" Tong Siyu said in astonishment: "Sister Yu, I can't do it. I still have a lot to learn."

"Besides, Sister Yu, this is the Wolf Awards Ceremony. I am required to report on such an important event. What if I make a mistake!"

"You can do it!" Yu Mengmeng cheered up, "I believe in you, people always have a first time, after the first time, it will be much smoother to do it next time."

Seeing that Tong Siyu was still hesitating, Yu Mengmeng said, "You have to report today even if you don't. I'm your superior, so you must listen to me."

Tong Siyu's heart was heavy, knowing that Yu Mengmeng didn't suppress her as a superior, but let her step onto the stage.

She has been studying with Yu Mengmeng for more than half a year, and according to the plan, she will formally take over Yu Mengmeng's job next year.

So, sooner or later she will have to report.

Tong Siyu secretly encouraged herself: "Tong Siyu, you can do it."

Tong Siyu took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will report today."

Yu Mengmeng, the photographer and the make-up artist looked at the situation with smiles on their faces.

Yu Mengmeng patted Tong Siyu's shoulder, encouraged her with a smile, "Siyu, come on!"

"Yeah!" Tong Siyu nodded heavily.

Yu Mengmeng raised her hand to look at the time, put her hand down, looked at Tong Siyu, and said, "It's almost time, get ready, the report will start in 10 minutes."

Then, he looked at the photographer and makeup artist again, and said, "Xiaoxin, put makeup on her."

"Xiao Gu, adjust the camera!"

Ten minutes later, Tong Siyu faced the camera and said, "Hello, audience friends, this is the seat of the parliament in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel."

"Shortly after today, the annual Wolf Prize ceremony will be held here."

"This year's Wolf Mathematics Prize, a famous Chinese mathematician, Ye Fei, vice president of the Institute of Mathematics, academician Zhang Yitang, will soon receive the Wolf Mathematics Prize."

"Academician Zhang Yitang won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, which marks our country..."

After a while, Tong Siyu finished reporting, and then looked nervously at Yu Mengmeng.

Yu Mengmeng showed a smile on her face, gave Tong Siyu a thumbs up, and said: "Siyu, very good, you are awesome!"

When Tong Siyu heard this, his almond eyes narrowed into a slit.

Yu Mengmeng said: "After academician Zhang Yitang comes, you will also go up to interview, you understand?"

With previous reporting experience, Tong Siyu became more courageous and said, "Okay."

Around eight o'clock, many mathematicians began to arrive one after another.

Ye Fei, Zhang Yitang and others talked and laughed all the way to the parliament.

Yu Mengmeng, Tong Siyu and others saw Ye Fei in the crowd from a distance.

Tong Siyu said in astonishment: "Why is Academician Ye Fei here?"

Yu Mengmeng said: "This is normal. Ye Fei and Zhang Yitang are friends, and Zhang Yitang is the vice president of Ye Fei's Mathematics Research Institute."

"So, it is very normal for Zhang Yitang to invite Ye Fei to his award ceremony."

"Siyu, don't just interview Academician Zhang Yitang, but also interview Academician Ye Fei. Ask Zhang Yitang what he thinks about winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

"Ok!"

When Ye Fei and the others walked more than 30 meters away from the parliament, many reporters surrounded them.

Tong Siyu held a microphone in the crowd, squeezed like a quail.

After Ye Fei saw it, he scolded the reporters around: "What are you squeezing? What are you squeezing, get out of the way."

After finishing speaking, Ye Fei pulled Tong Siyu in front of him from the crowd, and said with a smile, "Ms. Tong, are you all right?"

For some reason, Tong Siyu met Ye Fei's eyes and felt a little deer in his heart. Then he blushed slightly and shook his head slightly: "It's okay!"

Ye Fei didn't seem to notice Tong Siyu's strange behavior, so he smiled and said, "Ms. Tong, you want to interview us, right? Come, interview us!"

Ye Fei turned to Zhang Yitang and Mochizuki Shinichi beside him, and said, "This is Tong Siyu, a reporter from CCTV No. [-]. She will interview us frequently in the future."

Zhang Yitang and Mochiyuexin smiled at Tong Siyu.

Tong Siyu looked at Zhang Yitang and said, "Academician Zhang, I heard that you have won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics this time. How do you feel at the moment?"

Zhang Yitang smiled and said, "Of course I'm excited!"

"Then do you have anything to say at the moment?"

Zhang Yitang said: "The main thing is to thank Academician Ye Fei. Without him, I would not have proved the Landau-Siegel zero-point conjecture so quickly, and I would not have won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

"I would also like to thank my team, my friends and family, and the many, many others who have helped me."

"It is because of their selfless support that I was awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics."

Tong Siyu looked at Ye Fei and said, "Academician Ye, do you have anything to say at this moment?"

Ye Fei said: "Academician Zhang is exaggerating. I didn't help him much. All this is his own efforts."

After that, Tong Siyu asked Zhang Yitang and Ye Fei some questions.

The foreign reporters present could only watch with greedy eyes.

No way, Ye Fei completely ignored them.

It's not the first time they have dealt with Ye Fei, and they know Ye Fei's temper.

If other scholars are still afraid of their verbal criticism, but Ye Fei is not afraid, no matter what they write, Ye Fei doesn't care.

Ye Fei is an outlier among the scholars, and doesn't care much about his reputation.

But Ye Fei has no black material and has many fans.

Even if they make it up, few people believe it.

This made the reporters feel itchy for Ye Fei, and there was nothing they could do about him.

After a long time, Ye Fei saw that the time was almost up, and said, "Ms. Tong, we are going in."

"Okay!" Tong Siyu hurriedly stepped aside and let Ye Fei and others go in.

After Ye Fei and others entered, Tong Siyu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Yu Mengmeng walking beside her, Tong Siyu smiled and said, "Sister Yu, the interview went very smoothly."

"I saw it." Yu Mengmeng smiled.
