Chapter 254 Academician Award Ceremony, Highlight Moment [Subscription Request]

Today is a special day at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences in Yenching. In the circular ceremony hall of the academy, a certificate awarding ceremony and inauguration ceremony for the newly elected academicians are being held this morning.

Xu Yuan specially changed into formal clothes today and arrived at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences early.

Among the sixty new academicians added this year, he is undoubtedly the youngest.

Standing in the crowd when taking a group photo, I seemed a little out of place.

However, when it comes to acquaintances in the Academy of Sciences, it is difficult for others to compare with him.

Before I even entered the venue, someone came over to say hello.

In addition to the acquaintance in the School of Science of the Academy of Sciences who was in charge of the Journal of Mathematics, he also saw a special figure.

Before I could even open my mouth, I heard the other party start talking to me.

"Congratulations Xu Yuan."

"congratulate."

Xu Yuan reacted immediately after hearing what was said. He quickly reached out and shook hands with the other party and replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Academician Wang."

The two of them looked like they were just having a normal conversation between friends, and neither of them showed any airs of an academician.

As a cryptography expert, Wang Xiaoyun undoubtedly has a very deep impression of Xu Yuan.

I still remember that with the help of Xu Yuan, she led the team to successfully crack the overseas MD5 encryption algorithm, shocking the world at the International Cryptography Conference.

This caused the American Bureau of Standards and Technology to break down at the conference.

Witness with your own eyes the impossible-to-crack cryptographic algorithm that he was so proud of being mastered by Xu Yuan with ease.

Even though they found it hard to believe, the facts were before their eyes and could not be ignored.

Finally, due to the uproar in the cryptography community, the Bureau of Standards and Technology had no choice but to make the decision to completely stop using the original DM5 cryptographic algorithm and start a new one instead.

This incident caused widespread discussion around the world at that time.

But Wang Xiaoyun knew very well that they had made a huge contribution to cracking the code so quickly.

Otherwise it would be too late to attend this International Cryptography Conference.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan did not continue to conduct in-depth research in the field of cryptography.

The focus is still on mathematics.

Instead, she chose to join Qinghua Institute for Advanced Studies as a visiting professor in response to Mr. Yang's invitation.

He also regarded designing a secure and reliable hash function password to meet the needs of the domestic field as an important task in his future work, and would even occasionally go to Xu Yuan to discuss research.

As for the result, it certainly did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

We successfully developed a domestic hash function algorithm, which is still in use.

For this reason, last year she was successfully selected as a member of the Academy of Sciences, becoming one of the rare female academicians.

Speaking of Xu Yuan's achievements today, she was not surprised at all, she just thought it was a matter of course. After all, when he cracked the MD5 password, Xu Yuan had already shown amazing talent and sharp thinking. With such qualities, he can shine in any subject.

This is the best explanation right now.

"The directors of the Journal of Mathematics are waiting for you. We have discussed that after the certificate awarding ceremony, we can go out for dinner together to celebrate for you."

"You know, we can't find any academicians from the two academies in our Department of Science."

"You have been elected as an academician. I don't know how many records you have broken. I would never have dared to think about this before."

Ma Zhiming took over the conversation at this time, with a happy smile on his face as he spoke.

Being elected as an academician by studying mathematics is extremely difficult.

Basically all your energy and time need to be fully invested in mathematical comprehension and research.

Find academic achievements that are worth showing off in the ocean of mathematics.

Many mathematics professors may never achieve this in their lifetime.

In this case, how can there be any opportunity to study other disciplines?

Naturally, he cannot become a member of the Academy of Engineering.

Therefore, there are very few people like Xu Yuan in the two academies.

To some extent, it was also a great effort to save face for the Faculty of Science.

Wang Xiaoyun approved of what Ma Zhiming said. It is indeed enviable to have such young academicians of the two academies.

"They are academicians of the two academies. Academician Ma and I will never have the chance to do so in this lifetime."

Xu Yuan listened to everything the two said, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, who can become an academician of the two academies is not something he can decide.

So when faced with this topic, he did not answer, but instead took the initiative to change the subject.

In response to what Ma Zhiming just said.

"As for eating, there may be no way today."

"Next time."

"I'll treat everyone to dinner next time. After today's certificate awarding ceremony and inauguration ceremony at the Academy of Sciences, I have to go to the Academy of Engineering to attend the event."

At the end of the speech, although what he said was very humorous, he himself acted very serious.

When Ma Zhiming and Wang Xiaoyun heard this, they couldn't help laughing in their hearts.

I thought that attending the Academy of Sciences award ceremony would feel similar to attending weddings and funerals!

It was actually used even in a hurry.

The key is to think carefully, there is nothing wrong with what Xu Yuan said.

After all, he is an academician of both the academies.

"That's fine. Your business today is more important. You can't delay it."

Ma Zhiming waved his hand in response.

Just as they were talking about this, a civilian worker in his twenties ran over.

After he stopped in front of Xu Yuan, he didn't even wait to catch his breath before he quickly opened his mouth to remind him:

"Academician Xu."

"The certificate awarding ceremony is about to begin. You need to enter now."

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Yuan immediately turned around and replied to the person in front of him with a slightly apologetic tone.

"Ok."

"I'll go over now."

"Academician Xu, please follow me." The other party pointed in a direction and said.

Xu Yuan naturally felt embarrassed to delay the following time, so he spoke a few words to Ma Zhiming and Wang Xiaoyun, and then, under their guidance, he went to the ceremony hall not far away to meet with the other 60 newly elected academicians.

He received news from the Academy of Engineering that the Academy's certificate awarding ceremony would be held later than that of the Academy of Sciences.

I don’t know if it’s a tradition or if it was specially arranged for today.

But this just made it convenient for Xu Yuan. Once the work at the Academy of Sciences was done, it would be a seamless transition to the Academy of Engineering.

Today I will officially become an academician of the two academies.

Following this staff member, we soon arrived at the ceremony hall. As soon as we pushed the door open, we saw many figures.

The average age of everyone seems to be around 40 or 50 years old.

And they all wore formal suits.

He is the newly elected academician of the Academy of Sciences this year.

As you move your eyes upwards, you can see the huge white dome, which looks majestic and majestic under the light.

Surrounding the podium are several rows of curved seats and a rectangular curved screen on the wall in front.

At this moment, two lines of conference titles are displayed on the screen.

“2015 Newly Elected Academy Members Certificate Awarding Ceremony and Symposium.”

It is worth mentioning that there are nearly sixty newly elected academicians on the scene.

Xu Yuan doesn't know much.

After randomly sitting down in a seat and wondering whether he should say hello and liven up the atmosphere, he noticed that other people stood up and surrounded him.

They chatted with him and greeted each other.

"Hello, Academician Xu."

"We met at a conference before. I wonder if Academician Xu still remembers me."

"It's better to have young people like Academician Xu. At least they can make more contributions to the country in the future. We are all old now."

"A 30-year-old academician of the two academies will definitely have a bright future and will sooner or later become the chief academician of mankind."

"We are all colleagues from now on. Academician Xu, if you need our help, just let us know. But don't be shy about asking for help."

"I have always seen news about Academician Xu on the Internet, and today I finally get to meet him in person."

……

Faced with such an enthusiastic crowd, Xu Yuan was a little confused at first and didn't know what was going on.

After a little thought, he figured out the key.

As someone just said, with his record of being elected as academicians of the two academies at the age of 30, he can indeed be said to have a bright future.

It is normal for him to grow into a chief academician scientist in the future.

It is indeed common sense to get to know each other now.

What's more, for them, the projects they are responsible for after being elected as academicians will definitely be more important.

When faced with technical difficulties that you have not yet mastered, you can ask Xu Yuan for advice, and perhaps the problem will be solved.

So how can you do it if you are not familiar with it?

After thinking this through, of course Xu Yuan wouldn't say much. On the contrary, he was very happy to see that the academicians and professors around him all had this attitude. At least when they were in charge of new projects, they would be in a happier and more relaxed mood and wouldn't have to worry too much about these things.

As for being called the chief scientist of mankind by others, he didn't take it seriously.

Tell the truth.

He has no regrets as he was successfully elected as a member of the two academies.

The only thing left to pursue in my heart is to rely on my own strength to continuously conquer new technologies.

Let human civilization develop in a better direction.

To achieve inner spiritual satisfaction.

In the next ten or twenty years, we can look back on the past and be satisfied with it.

That would be considered perfect.

So in the face of everyone's enthusiasm, he did not put on any airs as a genius academician of the two academies.

He also stood up quickly, with a bright smile on his face, and greeted everyone.

The atmosphere in the ceremony hall was quite lively, filled with laughter.

It was not until Bai Xinzhou, then president of the Academy of Sciences, entered the venue that the entire ceremony hall calmed down again.

Everyone should return to their seats and wait for the certificate awarding ceremony and symposium to begin.

Soon the ceremony officially began.

The opening speech was delivered by the president Bai Xinzhou, who specifically mentioned that as academicians, we must consciously maintain the purity of the title of academician, which aroused warm applause from the audience. Although the whole speech did not last long, it brought a sacred and solemn atmosphere to the scene.

In the following time, Bai Xinzhou stood on the stage and presented certificates to the newly elected academicians one by one.

Soon it was Xu Yuan's turn.

"Now please invite Academician Xu Yuan to come to the stage."

Following the host's call, Xu Yuan, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately stood up and adjusted his clothes a little.

Then he walked towards the dean Bai Xinzhou on the stage.

After approaching, he took the initiative to shake hands with the other party, and then took over his academician certificate.

The two of them stood on it and took a photo together.

At this time, Xu Yuan also heard the voice coming from Bai Xinzhou.

"Welcome to join the Academy of Sciences. I hope you can continue to work hard and make more scientific contributions to the country."

Faced with the encouragement from the president of the Academy of Sciences, Xu Yuan naturally would not choose to remain silent at this time.

He responded immediately and forcefully.

"I will, Dean."

Then the two of them smiled at each other and nodded, and Xu Yuan then went down with his certificate.

When the certificate awarding ceremony was over, Bai Xinzhou came down from the stage and walked straight towards Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan looked at the dean in front of him and thought that the other party had something to do, so he didn't think much about it.

He stood up and asked proactively:
"Hello, Dean."

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing else, I just came here to remind you that it's time to go to the Academy of Engineering." Bai Xinzhou had a smile on his face and spoke to Xu Yuan about this matter in a relaxed manner.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that even the president of the Academy of Sciences knew about his rush.

However, in the other party's heart, this is obviously a gratifying thing.

He was truly concerned about Xu Yuan and didn't care about being a member of the Academy of Sciences. He was eager to go to the Academy of Engineering.

Without waiting for Xu Yuan to speak, he continued, "Don't worry, go ahead. I'll make it up to you individually at the symposium."

In addition to the certificate awarding ceremony today, there is also a symposium to communicate with the newly elected academicians.

It is a relatively routine operation.

Seeing that Dean Bai Xinzhou has already said so much, it would be hypocritical for him to remain reserved.

After all, the other party said that they would hold a separate symposium for him.

So he immediately said, "Thank you, Dean. I'll go over now."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the ceremony hall without any hesitation under everyone's gaze.

Everyone at the scene was very envious of this. After all, who wouldn’t want to go to the Academy of Engineering at this time and participate in another certificate awarding ceremony?

The special car driven by Wang Fei was originally listening outside. After Xu Yuan got in, he immediately drove towards the headquarters of the Academy of Engineering.

Fortunately, the headquarters of the Academy of Engineering is also in Yanjing, but it would be better if it were established in a different city.

It is definitely impossible to attend the certification ceremonies of two academies at the same time.

-

Compared with the Academy of Sciences, there are undoubtedly more acquaintances in the Academy of Engineering. In addition to Xu Chongxing and Chen Jianfang, there are also Gao Yuhe in the aviation field, Jia Yueguang, director of the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute, and others.

Obviously, they all came from other cities to celebrate his election as academicians of the two academies.

However, what surprised Xu Yuan was that after arriving at the headquarters of the Academy of Engineering, he also saw Zhang Guangyi.

You have to know that the other party belongs to the 14th Research Institute.

But when it comes to research on gallium nitride technology, it has now entered a critical moment.

Then nothing seemed strange anymore.

It was obvious that Zhang Guangyi was quite anxious.

I hope he can go to Jinling as soon as possible to continue his experiments on production substrate materials in gallium nitride technology and solve related problems as soon as possible so that gallium nitride radar can be put into service as soon as possible.

Xu Yuan was very clear about Zhang Guangyi's thoughts and knew that the other party also wanted the country to have more powerful radar.

But when it comes to scientific experiments, you absolutely cannot be rushed.

Anyway, he was absolutely sure about it.

No need to worry about anything.

Xu Yuan arrived at the Academy of Engineering at just the right time. He did not have time to talk to Xu Chongxing and Chen Jianfang, and went directly to the certificate awarding ceremony.

The list of newly elected academicians of the Academy of Engineering this year is smaller in number than that of the Academy of Sciences.

The average age is not much different.

Of course, he is still the youngest academician among them.

The following time was not much different from that of the Academy of Sciences, and certificates were still awarded after the speeches.

In the end, Xu Yuan successfully obtained his academician certificate from Li Maohui, the president of the Academy of Engineering.

Certification ceremonies like those held by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering are naturally always a hot topic in the media.

What's more, this time Xu Yuan is also included in the report. As an academician who is very popular in his own right, the number of reports on him is naturally even greater.

When the relevant news appeared on website platforms and even on television, sharp-eyed netizens quickly discovered that Xu Yuan actually appeared at the certificate awarding ceremonies of both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.

While everyone was happy for Xu Yuan, they also couldn't help but make fun of this incident in the comment section.

"As expected of Academician Xu, this seamless connection is so perfect."

"Everyone was sitting there listening attentively, but Academician Xu was busy with the second half."

"You just finished at the Academy of Sciences and now you're running to the Academy of Engineering?"

"Academician Xu has become an academician of the two academies at the age of 30, and he has achieved many scientific research results. I am really looking forward to how many surprises Academician Xu will bring in the future. I hope Academician Xu can let us witness more history in his lifetime."

"I saw the photo of Academician Xu and the two deans. I can say that they are so handsome."

"I'm so envious!"

"I think the most surprising thing is that all of what Academician Xu said on the Talk Show has come true, whether it's proving the Hodge conjecture or the space station being fully completed and put into use next year."

"From today on, Academician Xu is a true academician of the two academies."

"While you were typing your comments, I had memorized today's date."

"It's foresighted. This will definitely be a test question."

……

Xu Yuan was unaware of the kind comments from netizens. After attending the certificate awarding ceremonies of the two academies, he completely relaxed.

Then in the next few days, the previous rhythm was restored.

In addition to being an academician of the two academies, he is still a senior professor at Qinghua School of Mathematics.

Although the college has no teaching assignments for him, he still offers some open classes.

Or gather some math PhD students to have a math discussion.

Provide corresponding guidance for their research difficulties and mathematical bottlenecks.

Improve students' mathematics skills.

In addition, he also pays great attention to the cultivation of mathematical thinking, so that everyone is not limited to mathematical knowledge formulas.

You must learn the mathematics content actively and use it for your own benefit.

Only in this way can inspiration come more easily and we can find ideas quickly when faced with difficult mathematical problems.

And it must be said that his courses are very popular.

In addition to the students from Qinghua School of Mathematics, there are also many students from Yenching.

It even includes colleges and universities in other cities.

In this regard, apart from controlling the number of students each time, he did not distinguish which school the students were from.

After all, in addition to being a professor at Qinghua School of Mathematics, he also serves as the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematics. He must hope to see many talented mathematics students emerge in the country.

It's not just Qinghua or Yenching University.

It is also worth mentioning that according to the previous arrangement.

After he relaxed after attending the certificate awarding ceremony, he should return to Jinling No. 14 Institute.

We will continue the research on GaN technology and strive to determine suitable production substrate material technology as soon as possible to ensure the yield of GaN devices.

Reduce costs to a certain extent.

But when time entered November, it was only after Ma Zhiming reminded him that he realized that there were still two months left.

That was when the Xu Yuan Mathematics Award was awarded for the first time.

This is the first world mathematics award established in China, and it is named after him.

He will definitely contribute to the presentation of the first awards.

What's more, as the deputy editor-in-chief, I also need to participate in the evaluation of the award list.

At the very least, the winner's paper should be presentable and have certain value in the field of mathematics.

You should know that the establishment of the Xu Yuan Mathematics Award, although initially mainly to serve the Journal of Mathematics and to promote the healthy development of the domestic mathematics community, but its ultimate goal is to match the Fields Medal.

In this case, the winner's academic achievements must be high, so as to indirectly enhance everyone's impression of the Xu Yuan Mathematics Award.

Fortunately, with the popularity of the Hodge Conjecture Mathematical Exchange Conference, many excellent papers have been accepted by the Journal of Mathematics in the past year, and we can barely select some good mathematical papers from them.

In this regard, Xu Yuan had no choice but to put the gallium nitride technology in Jinling on hold and resume related experimental work on gallium nitride technology after he had awarded medals to the winners.

When Zhang Guangyi first learned the news, he was very worried.

I thought Xu Yuan had quit and given up his research on gallium nitride technology.

We have just started to show some signs of improvement. If we give up now, it will be a huge loss to the entire scientific community.

The key point is that even if someone else takes over, I am afraid they will not be able to keep up with Xu Yuan’s ideas and direction.

Xu Yuan's reaction to Zhang Guangyi was completely within his expectations.

Finally, after emphasizing that gallium nitride technology has made progress and will not affect the service of gallium nitride radar, the other party was completely relieved.

According to the previous relevant procedures of the Journal of Mathematics, excellent papers published in the journal will be recorded and tracked accordingly, and their subsequent influence in the mathematics community will be recorded and tracked.

The editorial board then randomly selected papers from these and handed them over to chief editors such as Xu Yuan and Ma Zhiming.

Three winners were determined.

The Xu Yuan Mathematics Award was first announced at the Mathematics Exchange Conference last year.

The mathematics community also paid close attention to the first award ceremony.

In addition to a lot of media reports overseas, many mathematicians in the mathematics community have begun to discuss it.

Xu Yuan has undoubtedly become a master of mathematics, a person who has truly entered the highest hall of mathematics. The world mathematics award named after him may not be as influential as the Fields Medal at present.

But for the winners, it can also be considered a great honor.

Almost two months passed in a blink of an eye. After further discussion on the relevant papers and influence, Xu Yuan and Ma Zhiming officially determined the list of winners.

At the same time, the award ceremony is also ready, waiting to bring another grand event to the mathematics community.
