From all-round academic master to chief scientist

The announcement of the list of new academicians quickly aroused various discussions on the Internet.

Among them, Lin Xiao's name appeared together in the lists of academicians of the two academies, which shocked and excited countless netizens.

Their forest god actually has a name on both lists!

Academicians of the Academy of Sciences and academicians of the Academy of Engineering are generally different. The former tend to pay more attention to scientific theory, while the latter focus more on practical technology.

For example, academicians who study mathematics are academicians of the Academy of Sciences, like Xu Ji, while those who study some practical technologies are often academicians of the Academy of Engineering, such as Ma Weimin.

And those who can serve as academicians of both academies are naturally those who have made major achievements in both directions.

Lin Xiao's past achievements certainly make him eligible to be elected as an academician of both houses at the same time.

Whether it is the various theoretical breakthroughs he has made from mathematics to physics, or the development and manufacturing of photolithography machines, it is obvious that he has made all major breakthroughs in theory and practice.

In addition, although the research and development of room-temperature superconductors has not yet spread, everyone who knows about it knows how significant this technology is.

As Lin Xiao said before, room temperature superconductors occupies one of the three important technologies that humans must master in the future.

Therefore, the room-temperature superconductor he developed is also the biggest reason why he was able to become an academician of both academies at the same time.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just Lin Xiao's well-known achievements. He is already elected as an academician of the two academies at the same time, which is already his duty.

Ever since, this matter has aroused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet.

"Lin Shen is Lin Shen. He was directly elected as an academician of both academies at the same time. If only I could have one percent of Lin Shen's ability." 』

"Are all netizens so conscious now? Just one percent of them?" I remember there were many people who thought it was one-tenth in the past.」

"I'm just kidding, even 100% of them won't work anymore. Let's just say that there are tens of thousands of parts in a photolithography machine. So can you make more than a hundred parts? 』

"Oh, oh, oh, stop scolding, stop scolding, I'm going to study now." 』

"Lin Shen was elected as an academician. This is what everyone expected. Don't let the Baijiu academician thing come out again. Even if he is not a scientist of Lin Shen's level, he must at least be a normal scientist, right?" At least I have to study something useful.』

"Speaking of which, should we continue to call God Lin, or should we call him Academician Lin?" 』

"Shout whichever one is more cool"

"Then which one is better?" 』

"Uh, academician, right?" But Lin Shen, I think, is pretty good too.』

"Let's just give God Lin the title of chief scientist of the Republic. From now on, we can just call him Chief Lin." 』

"This is a good suggestion"

"Agree"

"Agree +1"

…

The lively discussion among netizens also made this matter spread.

The twenty-three-year-old academician, other people at this age have basically just graduated from university for one year, and those geniuses have only become professors at this age.

But Lin Xiao suddenly became an academician of a country.

Even if he wants, he can join the academies of science of other countries and become a foreign academician of those countries. It is just a matter of filling out an application form.

And this matter quickly spread abroad. Even abroad, there were many people who admired Lin Xiao. People more or less admired the strong, and Lin Xiao was obviously such a worthy person. A strong figure in the scientific community whom many people admire.

As a result, foreign media, including foreign media, also reported on this matter.

[Twenty-three-year-old academician, the most powerful genius in human history? 】

[Rise of an Empire: The Ultimate Scientist]

…

For a time, Lin Xiao's becoming an academician became a matter of concern to the whole world.

However, at this time, the whole world was paying attention to Lin Xiao becoming an academician.

On arxiv, Lin Xiao quietly published a paper, and in a short period of time, it caused a huge earthquake in the mathematics and physics circles.

[Proof of existence and smoothness of solutions to Navier-Stokes equation]

This slightly long question seems to have dropped a bomb equivalent of 10 million tons of TNT into the world of mathematics and physics.

When Lin Xiao became an academician, he secretly solved another important problem in the millennium?

Navier-Stokes equations!

It was developed from the Euler equation, and was finally perfected by Navier and Stokes in the 19th century. I don’t know how many fluid physicists and mathematicians became obsessed with it, and developed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people from it. , and even more papers came out.

Everyone wants to solve the puzzle of this system of equations and grasp the truth of fluid mechanics.

However, at this moment, what did they see?

In the Millennium Problem, the existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation were suddenly proven?

Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

In that quite cozy afternoon tea restaurant.

At this moment, whether they are mathematicians or physicists at the Institute for Advanced Study, they are all looking seriously at the mobile phones, computers, tablets, etc. in front of them, and some people are even holding a draft The paper is calculating something while looking at the real things on the screen.

Obviously, for these mathematicians and physicists, what they are studying at this time is Lin Xiao's paper.

"I bought it, don't pay attention to me!"

Suddenly, a mathematician opened his eyes wide with an expression of wonder and emotion.

People around him looked at the mathematician. He had a big beard, white and black, and looked quite charming like a middle-aged man.

Of course, these are not the main points. People quickly recognized the identity of this mathematician. Charles Fefferman, winner of the Fields Medal and Wolf Medal, is another famous figure in the world of mathematics.

Of course, the mathematicians present are basically all big figures in the field of mathematics, and they are basically all Fields Medal winners, so it is impossible to tell who is more powerful. However, among all the people present, Fefferman But he is the person who has studied the NS equation the most.

For example, the official description of the NS equation problem in the Clay Institute Millennium Prize Problem was written by Fefferman.

At this moment Fefferman was sighing like this, could it be that Lin Xiao succeeded?

Oh... Having said that, it's not shocking that Lin Xiao succeeded.

After all, that guy who doesn't talk about science is a bit too perverted.

"Hey, Charles, how's it going?"

Pompieri and Fefferman were sitting closest, so they took the initiative to ask.

Fefferman came back to his senses and saw so many eyes around him looking at him. Then he spread his hands and said, "Although I still have some questions that I want to ask him personally, but considering every time before, Lin He did it again."

Hearing this, every mathematician around him suddenly showed an expression that was indeed true.

That young man once again put an end to an important problem in their mathematical world.

Except that they were a little shocked when they first saw Lin Xiao posted this paper, but at this moment, they had no idea.

After all, it was Lin Xiao.

If it were the people around them, they would probably be even more shocked.

Of course, no matter what, they all envied Lin Xiao's talent.

In just one year, Lin Xiao completed the proof of Hodge's conjecture at last year's Mathematicians Conference, and one year later, he has probably completed the proof of the existence and smoothness of the solution to the NS equation.

How has the Millennium Prize problem been so easy in more than 20 years?

Of course, the physicists nearby also had the same feelings as these mathematicians.

Although most of these physicists study quantum mechanics or relativity, and relatively little research on classical physics, in any case, this problem also belongs to their physics community, a mathematical physics problem.

So they were also very envious of Lin Xiao's talent.

Even in their research on multi-dimensional field theory, they have not yet come up with many breakthrough results.

On the contrary, Lin Xiao, the person who proposed it, has not studied it since he proposed it. This also makes them feel helpless. Why don't you give everyone more tips, and just leave it alone after the research is done?

The physicists present sighed.

When other mathematicians saw the reaction of the physicists, they all laughed.

"Hey, as I said, Lin Xiao is our mathematician, not your physicist."

When it comes to this issue, physicists are not sleepy.

"Just kidding, the NS equation is a physics problem, not a mathematical problem. Please make this clear."

"Okay, fellow physics guys, don't comfort yourselves like this. Just leave it as it is. Lin Xiao is obviously a 100% mathematician. He uses mathematical methods to prove physical problems. "

"Hey, Witten also solved it using mathematical methods. Can you say that he is a mathematician?"

"Uh...it's not impossible."

“You # ￥@@#……”

…

The well-known debate about whether Lin Xiao is a mathematician or a physicist began at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Fefferman and other mathematicians did not join the debate, but Fefferman just smiled and said: "It seems that we can prepare to go to China and listen to Lin Xiao's report."

"makes sense."

Others nodded.

Deligne smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I also miss Chinese food. I remember I ate a steamed bun with meat last time. It was quite delicious."

Pompieri wondered: "I remember it's called Roujiamo?"

Deligne was stunned, "Rougamo?"

He frowned, and then said: "I can't remember this clearly, but they put meat inside the steamed bun, so it should be called steamed bun with meat, right?"

Pompieri thought for a while and nodded: "That makes sense, it's probably steamed buns with meat."

"I do miss their noodles called Saozi noodles. Well, they are very fragrant."

Seeing this group of people chatting about food, Fefferman said in a dumbfounded voice: "Okay, don't talk so much. Let's ask Lin first when his report will start."

"That's right."

Others nodded.
