Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The 2008 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Charles Chaffy, said in an interview that if you are lucky enough to make a little achievement, people will do a terrible thing to you-

They will start to say to you, "Hey, you may win the Nobel Prize." Then from the first week of October, you will start to suffer from insomnia and be extremely sensitive to any ringtone, even if it is a neighbor's phone It will also make you suspicious ...

Until the day you actually received a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

In addition to the Swedish-style surprise, the main reason for doing this is to ensure that the winners will not show off everywhere in advance, and undermine the expectations of all human beings or society's scientific researchers.

Calls to notify winners will usually be called a few minutes before the draw. Therefore, the Nobel Prize call can be said to be one of the most anticipated calls in the world. In just a few minutes, people can experience a bungee-like stimulation.

After receiving this call, Lu Zhou also experienced a bungee-like stimulation in his heart in just one minute.

As for why he obviously did not expect the Nobel Prize, he will experience the bungee-like stimulation in just one minute ...

Because unfortunately, it is obviously impossible to find him Nobel ...

It was Crawford.

Well, in fact the Crawford Awards are not bad.

It can even be said that it is very strong.

The award was set up by the industrialist Holger Crawford and his wife Anna Greta Crawford in 1980, and was selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Although the gold medal in mathematics is slightly less than three awards, But in the larger collection of natural sciences, it has the reputation of the Little Nobel Prize.

As for why you say that?

Because the original purpose of this award is to fill the gap of the Nobel Prize, both the process and the specifications of the award ceremony are based on the Nobel Prize standards.

The award scope includes the fields of astronomy, mathematics, earth sciences and life sciences that are not covered by the Nobel Prize. The award mechanism is selected once a year, and it rotates between astronomy and mathematics, earth sciences and biological sciences.

This year, it is the turn of the field of astronomy and mathematics to be awarded to the most outstanding contributors in the field.

At the same time, the bonus was $ 500,000.

Like the Nobel Prize, the Crawford Prize, which is also selected and awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, is usually notified to the winners a few minutes before the draw, so that the land boat that is eating with Witten is made by this sudden call Be caught off guard.

In fact, the reason why Lu Zhou won the award was not because of Goldbach's conjecture, but because of his series of research in the field of prime numbers. However, the paper that appeared in the "Mathematics Annual" a few days ago refreshed his list of achievements again.

And still such an achievement that cannot be ignored.

As a result, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences supplemented this achievement of Goldbach-Lu theorem with the winner's profile published on the official website.

Stunned by the half a million dollars and medals that suddenly jumped from the sky, Lu Zhou couldn't even remember how he returned to the office from the cafeteria.

He just remembered that Witten patted him on the shoulder with a smile, said congratulations to him, and then waited for him to return, he was already sitting in his office and turned on the computer.

After landing on the official website of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Lu Zhou refreshed several times before finally seeing the list of Crawford Awards published on the official website.

And his name is on this list.

As for the other two winners, Professor Roy Kerr of Canterbury University in New Zealand and Professor Roger Branford of Stanford University in the United States. The two have made significant contributions to the study of "black holes with angular momentum and their effects" and shared the astronomy prize ...

As for the mathematics award, he is the only one.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou was relieved, and determined that the call just received was not a new type of fraud or a belated April Fool's Day joke. A hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Lu Zhou then closed the webpage of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and opened another webpage.

Now that the news of the award has been confirmed, he is only curious about one thing now.

This half a million dollars bonus.

How much does it cost to exchange for RMB?

...

Two hours after receiving the call, Lu Zhou received an email from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Although I don't know how they knew their email account, they thought that even if they could get their private phone number, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to have an email account.

After all, whether on the professor's profile page on Princeton University's official website or in Arxiv's personal information, he linked his email account.

In the e-mail of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in addition to an electronic invitation letter, the above content is mainly a written restatement of what has been said on the previous phone call.

For example, the time of the award ceremony, and the banquet after the award ceremony.

As another example, as part of the celebration of the Crawford Awards, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences also held a three-day academic exchange meeting and invited him to give a presentation on the winners at the exchange meeting.

As for the reporting time, it is naturally one hour.

Just after Lu Zhou closed the mail and took out the PPT used in Princeton's report meeting, and prepared to change it and then use it, suddenly another phone call came.

It wasn't a stranger who called this time, but a call from Don.

As soon as the phone was connected, the familiar voice hurried from the opposite side.

"Did you prove Goldbach's conjecture ?!"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou froze and answered subconsciously.

"Well, what's wrong?"

The phone was silent for a while before sighing softly.

"... Nothing, just a little surprised." After a pause, Old Tang smiled and continued, "Today the Department of Mathematics was in the middle of a meeting, and it would be halfway. Suddenly a" Mathematics Yearbook "was sent in. Originally We are still discussing this year's enrollment plan, and the contents of the second half of the meeting have all become you. "

Although the tone is only an understatement, the heart of old Tang is full of emotions.

When Lu Zhou asked him about the distribution of Mason prime numbers in the cafeteria, he suggested that Lu Zhou should not consider these things and concentrate on the development of functional analysis and applied mathematics.

The fate turned out to be so wonderful.

In just a few years, he has grown to the point where he is now.

For this student, Tang Zhiwei was very pleased and proud of him from the heart.

Hearing Old Tang's statement, Lu Zhou couldn't help crying and laughing.

"This ... how sorry."

He originally thought that his thesis would at most kill a few unfinished papers, but did not expect to mess up the alma mater meeting.

Old Tang smiled, did not continue on this topic, but continued to say.

"You have now completed your PhD. Although the school is not in a hurry to return you quickly, there is still a diploma and a degree certificate waiting for you. The principal Xu and Director Lu are urging me to let me ask you. I asked them, when are you going to come back and finish this doctorate? "

At the beginning, Jinling University and Princeton University signed a joint training plan on Luzhou. After Luzhou completed his doctorate in Princeton, he returned to China to make a report, and he could get a doctorate from Jinling University.

There was actually a faculty position, but now it seems that it can be slightly eased.

Regarding Lu Zhou's intention to stay in Princeton as a professor, the school absolutely supports it.

After all, talent is not RMB, and it will not add value if you put it in your pocket. Only leaders born of political workers like to do such things.

In fact, many research-born principals have in their hearts ~ www.readwn.com ~ how to invest in the talent training of domestic universities, and the hematopoietic ability of cutting-edge scientific researchers is definitely incomparable with a world-renowned university such as Princeton.

Whether it is the academic environment or the hardware equipment, this gap cannot be changed overnight. Just like solving a major mathematical problem, everything requires the efforts of generations.

Encouraging talents to take scientific research nutrients on higher-level platforms is also the talent training policy of major universities.

Supporting policies are the introduction of overseas talents, such as the Thousand Talents Program.

And this is the so-called "send out first, then please come back."

Even if you are not young, please stay there and train a few more international students for your motherland.

For the simplest example, if a scholar from King University can be a professor in Princeton, King University can at least have one more Princeton student at regular intervals (in principle, only one foreign journalist from the same university is allowed). And this place was almost empty in previous years.

At the same time, this place will not disappear out of thin air even if Jin Da can't eat it. Under the condition of equal ability, Chinese professors are more inclined to recruit Chinese students, which is almost normal (there is a counterexample).

However, Jin Da's release is superfluous. Lu Zhou needs to learn a lot, and also needs the qualification of overseas scientific research experience. At the same time, various resources of Princeton can also help him complete system tasks.

When the time is almost up, he will go back naturally.

After all, he is a nostalgic person.

Lu Zhou thought about it and responded, "I'm going to Stockholm first, but it won't be long, I will be back in early June."

"Stockholm?" Tang stunned, wondering, "What are you doing in Sweden?"

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassed.

"Receive the prize."
