Chapter 280: Highest Science and Technology Award, Tensions [Please Subscribe]

Arpad was just thinking about how to change the subject, but when he heard Xu Yuan asking about his purpose, he was immediately delighted and felt like he had finally found a way out. He quickly took over the conversation and answered.

He has specially learned Chinese in recent years.

Although he had a heavy accent, he still spoke slowly in Chinese out of respect for Xu Yuan.

"It's like this, Academician Xu. I came here this time to purchase a batch of advanced drones produced by your company."

"Price is not an issue."

Finally, he did not forget to add one more sentence.

Xu Yuan listened to the other party's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He smiled and asked back:
"Since you want to purchase Wing Loong UAVs, you can just contact the Aviation Industry Corporation of China directly. There should be no need to come to me specifically."

"You know."

"I'm just an ordinary R&D staff."

The Wing Loong UAV was originally on the export list, and the forces represented by Arpad had already purchased it.

It is indeed not difficult to get high-quality customers like this to repurchase.

Just follow the normal connection process.

As a result, the other party went to the Academy of Sciences to find him, which is a bit intriguing.

Bai Xinzhou, who was standing next to him, didn't interrupt the conversation, but when he heard Xu Yuan say that he was just an ordinary researcher, his mouth twitched subconsciously. After all, if scientists who became academicians of the two academies at the age of 30 were still called ordinary researchers, then the domestic scientific community would have long been at the top of human civilization.

However, he still hid his emotional fluctuations very well.

It didn't show.

On the other hand, Arpad felt a little embarrassed by this answer.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he finally uttered a few words.

"This time we are..."

"We want to purchase stealth unmanned bombers."

The voice just fell.

As if he was worried about being rejected, he quickly made up for it the next second:
"Of course, we only need the most common configuration. We can negotiate any price."

As a small and not very peaceful region, they are prone to chaos.

And the technology is relatively backward.

Equipment such as fighter jets, armored vehicles, and missiles can only be purchased from major powers to improve defense capabilities.

Simply because the prices of advanced equipment are often very high.

The key is that they do not have the conditions for maintenance.

In this case, drones are undoubtedly the best choice, with a very high cost-effectiveness.

And that's exactly what happened.

When the Wing Loong UAV made its debut at the International Air Show, they purchased two and used them to quell the chaos. They performed brilliantly on the battlefield.

The task was completed excellently in a very short time.

So much so that additional orders were placed later.

It is no exaggeration to say that because of the existence of the Wing Loong drone, things there have become much more peaceful.

This time they saw in the news that the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, following the Wing Loong reconnaissance and strike drone, has launched a more advanced stealth unmanned bomber with stealth performance exceeding that of the Ghost.

It can even be equipped with a quantum communication system.

You know, for many places in the world, no one doesn't want to have their own ghost strategic stealth bomber.

Now there is finally one that is affordable and even has very powerful overall performance.

How could I not be tempted?

They don't care about the quantum communication system, after all, it won't work on their end.

The key is to be able to purchase stealth unmanned bombers.

Anyway, to some extent, backward technology is not a bad thing. At least it is not used to interfere with unmanned equipment and weapons.

Such drones will become the overlords of their skies.

However, as the world's most advanced stealth unmanned bomber, it is not on the list of products available for sale.

The problem cannot be solved by simply turning to the aviation industry.

Therefore, in order to make his trip not in vain, he thought of Xu Yuan, the developer of this aircraft, so he contacted the Academy of Sciences to help him set up a meeting.

It can be said that Xu Yuan's answer to Arpad was not surprising at all.

Even after learning that the other party was looking for me to purchase drones, I basically figured out what was going on.

really.

It is for stealth unmanned bomber.

First of all, the performance of the stealth unmanned bomber is indeed amazing, and it has a relatively low production cost. Even if it is unfortunately attacked, damaged, or crashed, there is no need to feel bad at all.

With excellent products like this, there will naturally be places that want to purchase them.

However, as the world's most advanced stealth unmanned bomber, it is not intended to be included in the sales list.

It’s just like China won’t sell its Ghost stealth strategic bomber overseas.

Even if Arpad came here, he would not be able to fulfill his wish.

I can only say that the other party really has good vision, but unfortunately the failure is also due to his too good vision.

After Xu Yuan figured out the situation, he didn't intend to keep it a secret and started explaining right away.

"Mr. Arpad."

"terribly sorry."

"I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip. Our stealth drone bomber is the most advanced drone in the world, and we have no intention of selling it at the moment."

"Even I can't help you."

As these words reached my ears, I could see the expression on Arpad's face, which was visibly full of regret.

Although he came here with the attitude of giving it a try, he still felt regretful after being rejected.

"That's really unfortunate."

At this time Bai Xinzhou was no longer silent, and started to help with a smile.

"I've already said this isn't going to work. Xu Yuan can't help you." It was obvious that he had done a lot of ideological work just now.

Xu Yuan seemed to be thinking about this. After pausing for two or three seconds, he finally said a few more words.

"Mr. Arpad."

"In fact, in my opinion, the Wing Loong UAV can already meet your needs."

"There is no need to spend a lot of money to introduce stealth unmanned bombers."

Arpad has great respect for Xu Yuan. After all, Xu Yuan is very famous in the world.

He is recognized as one of the most talented scientists in human history.

After careful consideration, he quickly accepted the suggestion.

Then decided:
"Academician Xu, you are right. Let's buy a few more Wing Loong drones this time."

"I'm really sorry to bother you today."

As the saying goes, now that we are here, even though we didn’t buy the stealth unmanned bomber, it would be inappropriate to go back empty-handed.

As a small place, we need to be more understanding of the ways of the world.

Otherwise, if the world situation becomes a little tense, they will probably become cannon fodder without realizing it.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in placing an order for a few Wing Loong UAVs.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan also smiled.

It is worth mentioning that Arpad did not stay here for too long in the following period of time.

He then took the initiative to say that he was leaving, as if he was afraid of disturbing Xu Yuan's time.

Bai Xinzhou did not try to persuade him to stay.

Soon, when Xu Yuan and Bai Xinzhou were the only ones left in the office, they made a fresh pot of tea and chatted while drinking it.

"The quantum stealth unmanned bomber you developed this time has really taken the world by storm. The outside world's popularity for it even surpassed the Ghost stealth strategic bomber at one point."

"to be honest."

"I never thought that you would realize the combination of quantum communication and drones just after you conquered the photolithography factory and photoresist."

“It’s beyond the normal people’s cognition.”

"If I didn't know your talent and efficiency, I would doubt whether you have forty-eight hours in a day."

Bai Xinzhou joked with Xu Yuan in a humorous way, but the joy on his face never disappeared.

This shows his love for Xu Yuan.

"The stealth unmanned bomber is a project that has been completed a long time ago. The completion of the quantum communication experiment this time is also inseparable from the help of our Quantum Innovation Institute."

With a smile on his face, Xu Yuan took the teacup from the dean and answered.

In fact, Arpad is not the first one who wants to purchase stealth unmanned bombers. News about this has been coming out in recent days.

Inquiries have come in from many areas.

Some big Camel owners even directly said they would pay more, claiming they were rich and inhumane.

However, in the end, it was recommended to purchase Wing Loong UAVs.

It is not difficult to see from this point alone that the first public appearance of the quantum stealth unmanned bomber has indeed had an impact on the situation around the world.

The impact of the Ghost stealth strategic bomber has been greatly weakened.

"Old Pan also benefited from your help. I heard that after this incident, they are planning to strengthen their research on quantum computers."

Bai Xinzhou was obviously familiar with Pan Xianfeng and naturally started talking about his situation.

Quantum mechanics mainly includes quantum communication and quantum computing, both of which play a vital role in the technological development of human civilization. It is no exaggeration to say that they represent the future direction of civilization.

Among them, quantum computers are said to be able to enable human civilization to achieve a technological explosion.

Unfortunately, although there are many quantum computer laboratories around the world, the number of quantum bits that can be controlled is only in the double digits.

There is still a long way to go before we can achieve a true quantum computer with millions of qubits.

I don't think there will be much progress for a long time to come.

Then Bai Xinzhou thought of something again, and suddenly subconsciously leaned his head forward, making a rather mysterious expression, and then continued speaking in a congratulatory tone.

"I have some good news for you."

"From what I have learned, the higher-ups are planning to award you this year's National Highest Science and Technology Award."

“In addition, the entire lithography factory project team will also receive awards.”

“Even I envy you!”

Bai Xinzhou's words came absolutely from the heart and there was no falsehood in them.

The National Highest Science and Technology Award is awarded once a year, with no more than two winners each time.

It is the highest level award among the five national science and technology awards.

It is awarded to scientific and technological workers who have made major breakthroughs at the forefront of contemporary science and technology or have made outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology.

There are seven steps from selection to final awarding of the award.

The prize money alone is worth several million.

And all are at the individual's disposal.

Even now as the president of the Academy of Sciences, he has not won the highest science and technology award.

Faced with such an honor, how can a science and technology worker not be envious?

Compared to Bai Xinzhou's envy, Xu Yuan's mood was not much better at the moment.

I was shocked when I first heard it.

It was somewhat unexpected.

He had only won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award before, which is already the ceiling for many scientific and technical personnel.

Although this lithography factory project has successfully solved the problem of difficulty in manufacturing high-end chips in China, it has even directly revitalized the entire industry and has absolute voice in the global semiconductor industry.

The contribution made is indeed very significant.

However, according to the analysis of previous winners of the highest science and technology awards, they are basically over 60 years old.

Even most of them are older scientists in their seventies and eighties.

As a young man in his thirties now, it does seem a bit out of place for him to stand on the stage and receive the award.

However, since the dean took the initiative to bring up this matter and showed such an expression.

That's basically no escape.

After all, there are only a dozen days left before the Science and Technology Awards Conference.

The corresponding list should indeed have been determined.

"Dean."

"Your news is a bit unexpected to me. I originally thought there would only be a project group award."

"This is the honor you deserve. The CCTV will broadcast the entire award ceremony live. You must prepare well and show the spirit of our scientists to the world." After listening to Xu Yuan's words, Bai Xinzhou gave him special instructions with a smile on his face.

In the following time, since there was nothing else to do, Xu Yuan did not stay for long.

After leaving the Academy of Sciences, I returned home to continue my research and recently collected literature related to the Riemann hypothesis.

……

……

Time always passes by inadvertently, especially when you are immersed in something.

Half a month passed quickly.

During this period, Xu Yuan's schedule was relatively regular. Apart from spending time at home with his family, he would go to school to look up mathematical literature.

Sometimes I meet mathematics students in the library and they ask for help, and I will answer their questions.

It seems quite fulfilling.

Compared with the fast-paced research state some time ago, it is actually quite good to slow down now.

It’s a pity that there is still no progress in the research on the Riemann hypothesis.

The progress bar does not change.

Can't find the right research direction.

He could foresee that his knowledge of quantum mechanics could be used to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Even if it cannot be completely proven, it will definitely add a lot of progress.

Since there has been no change, it means it is still in the same place.

It's like having a lock in front of you, and you know there is a correct key among many keys.

But you need to find it to open the lock.

However, he did not feel frustrated. Instead, he became more fascinated by the Riemann hypothesis.

No matter what, we must take it down.

You have to know that after he proved the Hodge conjecture and became a master in mathematics, it has become difficult for him to encounter difficult problems in mathematics.

The Riemann hypothesis rekindled his fighting spirit and passion for mathematics.

It was as if I was back in my senior year of high school, when I participated in the Mathematical Olympiad.

When faced with those more difficult competition questions, you have to solve them successfully no matter what.

He still has confidence in himself.

What's more, with a progress bar, as long as there is growth change, the correct research direction can be determined.

Then just keep on reasoning and avoid going further down the wrong path.

Compared to Xu Yuan's relatively quiet life recently, the Internet has gradually become lively in the past few days.

Many netizens are discussing one thing.

That is the upcoming Science and Technology Awards Conference.

Everyone knows that Xu Yuan led the project team and successfully developed a photolithography factory, which gave everyone a big surprise and made huge contributions to the development of the domestic semiconductor industry. It would be unreasonable if he did not win an award at the Science and Technology Awards Conference.

The main topic of discussion is which award Xu Yuan will win.

This is equivalent to evaluating what kind of film and television awards your favorite star will win.

What's more, Xu Yuan's number of fans on the entire Internet is already higher than many celebrities.

It is the real top stream.

Even though I didn’t win the award, I would feel even happier when I saw someone I love win the award.

Because of this, before the Science and Technology Awards Conference even started, hot searches began to appear frequently on major mainstream websites and platforms.

Basically they are all related to Xu Yuan.

The discussion area for related topics is even more lively.

"The Science and Technology Awards Conference is finally going to be held. I'm so looking forward to it!"

“This conference should be very interesting.”

"I hope I can see Academician Xu on camera then. It feels like he hasn't appeared online for a long time."

"Academician Xu developed a photolithography factory last year. Now we have a say in the international semiconductor industry, all thanks to Academician Xu. How could he not give us an award?"

"I remember that Academician Xu has won the Science and Technology Progress Award before. This time it should be something else."

"Do you think Academician Xu will be awarded the highest science and technology award? I think that apart from his relatively young age, his scientific contributions are definitely worthy of the award."

"I think it's possible that other awards are simply not enough to recognize Academician Xu's contributions."

"Academician Xu has reached the end of many academicians at such a young age. The higher-ups will definitely pay more attention to him. It shouldn't be a problem to just win the highest science and technology award."

"Anyway, the Science and Technology Awards Conference will be held in two days, and the situation will be clear by then. It seems that the CCTV will broadcast the entire event live."

……

that's it.

Amid discussions among a large number of netizens, the much anticipated Science and Technology Awards Conference was finally held.

2019 6 Month 24 Day.

on Monday.

For the residents of a villa community in Yanjing City today, the scene before their eyes is definitely one they will never forget in their lifetime.

I saw a car with police lights parked in front.

Following closely behind was a neat and orderly welcoming team of motorcycles, plus vehicles with various functions, which eventually formed a spectacular convoy.

The mission of this convoy today is to pick up Xu Yuan and take him to the auditorium to attend the Science and Technology Awards Conference.

According to normal procedures, he would have won the highest science and technology award.

You should also stay in a special hotel first, and then take the bus from the hotel entrance to the hall.

Now the convoy came directly to his doorstep, which shows the trust and importance they attach to him.

As for the house where Xu Yuan's family currently lives, it is a villa previously awarded by the state, and the surrounding residents are also special family residences for Professor Qinghua, academicians of the Academy of Sciences, etc. The entire area has very thorough security measures.

Make sure there are no surprises.

Although we had lived in the house awarded by Qinghua University for so long and had deep feelings for it, we moved out due to the increase in the number of people in our family and safety concerns.

In this way, if my parents or my sister's family comes to Yanjing for a short stay, they can live there.

Xu Yuan didn't pay much attention to his clothes today, he just asked Chen Yuran to help him match him with a suitable formal suit.

After the convoy arrived, he kissed Chen Yuran and his daughter respectively, and then, under the respectful guidance of the staff, boarded the Coaster business car which looked ordinary on the outside but was actually luxurious on the inside.

at the same time.

The professors, academicians and their families around also had expressions of joy and pure envy on their faces.

After all, for most people, they may never have the chance to witness such a convoy in their lifetime, let alone sit in that business car and go to the hall to receive the highest science and technology award.

Even academicians would feel envious.

"Xu Yuan is truly the pride of our scientific research community. This kind of precedent has never been seen before at previous science and technology award conferences."

"That's what a man should do!"

"No matter what honor Xu Yuan receives, I think it is well-deserved."

"Since China has produced two 30-year-old academicians of the two academies, we should have expected this day to come."

"This is by no means the end for Xu Yuan, but the beginning."

For the researchers who witnessed this scene, they knew all about Xu Yuan's contributions to scientific research, so they only had pure envy in their hearts and would never question anything. After all, they could not do any of the scientific miracles created by Xu Yuan.

The next second, as the convoy started moving, the entire road was blocked and controlled.

No private vehicles are allowed to pass.

The traffic lights are always green.

The entire driving process was filmed by the CCTV camera crew and broadcast live on the CCTV.

The official video account will also capture video clips in a timely manner.

Published on major mainstream website platforms.

Therefore, those netizens who don’t watch TV much can also understand Xu Yuan’s situation at the first time.

In response to this, the video comment section and barrage were quickly filled with various messages.

“It’s so impressive.”

"They actually sent a convoy directly to my house to pick me up. Oh my God!"

"Deserved."

“It’s a bit beyond my imagination.”

"This is the treatment that truly outstanding scientists should receive. Academician Xu deserves the title."

"It seems that Academician Xu really won the highest science and technology award."

"Congratulations in advance."

……

At this moment, Xu Yuan was sitting on the leather seat of a business car, looking through the window at the scene outside that was moving backwards. Even though he had seen many big scenes, his heartbeat quickened at this moment.

Finally, I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and only then did I adjust my mindset.

After all, the highest science and technology award alone cannot satisfy his spiritual needs.

Only when one truly sees human civilization undergoing earth-shaking changes for the better thanks to his efforts, will his life be truly without regrets.

Since Xu Yuan lived not far from the synagogue, it wouldn't take too long.

However, it is worth mentioning that the convoy stopped once in the middle to pick up another winner of the highest science and technology award.

The other person is nearly eighty years old and has some difficulty walking due to health problems.

Unable to stand for long periods of time and needs a wheelchair.

In this regard, Xu Yuan naturally took on the burden of pushing the wheelchair.

When facing the older generation of scientific workers who have also made outstanding contributions to the development of science, he can be said to have great respect for them. After all, in a sense, he can achieve what he has today by standing on the shoulders of the older generation of scientists.

Without them laying the foundation, how could we achieve a qualitative leap?

Not long after.

When the motorcade arrived at the hall, Xu Yuan got out of the car and pushed his wheelchair steadily towards the hall.

After entering, many familiar figures came into view.

Including the lithography factory R&D team headed by Zhao Xiang.

There are also acquaintances from other academies of science and engineering.

Because they are candidates for the other four awards, they need to come to the conference on their own.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The Science and Technology Awards Conference was held grandly.

After the speech according to the original process, the list of this year's highest science and technology awards was officially announced shortly afterwards.

Xu Yuan was among them.

As the familiar song sounded, the award ceremony began.

"Now, the highest science and technology award certificate and medal will be presented!"

At this time, Xu Yuan pushed his wheelchair and walked steadily to the stage, holding his head high and accepting the certificate and medal with a firm gaze.

When the relevant videos were posted online, netizens felt extremely excited.

They posted comments one after another and participated in it, sharing the joy with everyone.

“When the stars of humanity shine.”

“The highest science and technology award in the Earth Region.”

"Congratulations, Academician Xu."

"The Shenzhen Stock Exchange sent a congratulatory message to congratulate Academician Xu on winning the highest science and technology award."

"They are the ones who honor this award, not the award honoring them."

"White jade pillars support the sky, purple gold beams span the sea."

"For Academician Xu now, genius may just be a threshold to see him, and money is just a few meaningless numbers."

“A true pillar of the country.”

"Deserved."

……

When Xu Yuan returned to the stage with his certificate and medal, even though he couldn't see what was happening online for the time being, he could basically guess what it was like.

Thinking of the fact that so many people supported and loved him, he thought that he should post an update on his account after the conference.

Just think of it as a benefit to netizens, definitely not for showing off.

Along with the announcement of the list of winners of the highest science and technology awards, the list of winners of four other awards was followed.

Among them, Xu Yuan learned that in addition to his personal highest science and technology award, the entire lithography factory project team also won the special prize in the natural science award.

During the award ceremony, he, the winner of the highest science and technology award, went on stage to present awards to other winners.

The entire Science and Technology Awards Conference finally ended successfully.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Yuan did not break his promise and posted a status on Weibo after the conference.

The photo was of the medal of the highest science and technology award.

I still remember the last time Xu Yuan showed off his medal was when he won the Fields Medal in Mathematics.

When the award was shown off again after so many years, the value of the Fields Medal has long been far behind. No matter in terms of honor or value, it cannot compare with this medal of the highest science and technology award.

For the majority of netizens, they naturally hope that Xu Yuan can appear more often online.

Interact with everyone.

Perhaps you can also learn more about the latest research results.

After all, Xu Yuan's age is there, and he undoubtedly has more common language with the majority of netizens.

But everyone also knows that the stronger Xu Yuan is, the greater the pressure he will bear.

Usually, time is spent on scientific research.

Naturally, I can't appear online often.

Everyone understands this.

So when I saw Xu Yuan actually updated his Weibo for the first time, I instantly became extremely excited.

Because of the award ceremony in the morning, the emotions that had finally calmed down became excited again.

Fans immediately clicked in to comment, expressing their surprise and admiration for the medal. You know, if it weren’t for Xu Yuan, there would be no chance to observe the details so clearly.

"sofa."

"What did I see? Academician Xu actually updated his status."

"I'm dreaming about when Xu Shen won the Fields Medal."

"It is worthy of being the highest science and technology award medal. It is so exquisitely made. Thank you Academician Xu for giving us the opportunity to appreciate it."

"I almost thought the sun was rising from the west. It seems that Academician Xu is in a good mood today."

"Is this Academician Xu's plain and boring dynamic? How enviable!"

"I'm afraid I won't have the chance to get this medal in my lifetime."

"Brother, think positively. You won't have a chance in your next life."

"Hello, Academician Xu, can you tell us what you are doing recently? Do you have any new projects to be responsible for in the future?"

……

Xu Yuan was indeed in a good mood today.

Since he was already logged into the account, he naturally did not log out immediately, but instead browsed the messages from fans.

After noticing that someone was concerned about his recent status, he thought about it and replied.

"I have been studying the literature on the Riemann hypothesis recently."

After all, this is not something shameful. As the youngest mathematical master in the mathematics world, it is normal for him to study the Riemann hypothesis.

However, as more and more people noticed this reply, it soon caused a new round of shock across the entire Internet.

The emperor who shocked the mathematical world is coming back!

Originally, the topic of Xu Yuan winning the highest science and technology award was at the top of the hot search list on major platforms and websites today. However, because of a post showing off the medal of the highest science and technology award, the original hot search was squeezed to second place. Now, due to the Riemann hypothesis, it has directly become third place.

This shows how enthusiastic everyone is about the Riemann hypothesis.

Mainly since Xu Yuan proved the Hodge conjecture, he seems to have completely faded out of the field of mathematics.

There is almost no activity in the mathematics community.

The academic community also expressed their understanding of this. After all, it is not easy for a mathematician to solve a difficult mathematical problem in his lifetime, which can be considered a success.

So even if there is no new progress, that is normal.

Because of this, even if Xu Yuan does not attend mathematics activities, no one will say anything.

Just because Xu Yuan has made enough contributions to the development of mathematics.

But it must be said that Xu Yuan's withdrawal from the mathematics community did deal a considerable blow to the community.

The original rapid development momentum has slowed down again.

Although the proof of the Hodge conjecture has sparked a new wave of research on the world's most difficult mathematical problems in the mathematical community, so much time has passed and so many mathematicians have not made any breakthrough progress.

It seemed that without Xu Yuan, there was no way to prove the remaining Millennium Prize puzzles.

But now they heard something. Xu Yuan was studying the relevant literature on the Riemann hypothesis.

What does this mean?
It was obvious that Xu Yuan was preparing to prove the Riemann hypothesis.

This is definitely a big deal for the entire mathematics community.

Even ordinary people who are not particularly knowledgeable about mathematics may have heard of the Riemann hypothesis and know that it is the first of the seven major mathematical problems in the world.

There are more than a thousand mathematical propositions related to it, which have attracted much attention from mathematicians.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Riemann hypothesis is proved, the impact and popularity it will bring will definitely far exceed that of the Hodge hypothesis.

Before this, Xu Yuan had not yet been exposed to quantum mechanics, so he had no idea where to start when faced with the Riemann hypothesis.

Can't find any clues.

This is why the Hodge conjecture was chosen for research.

Now that we are challenging the Riemann hypothesis again, no one knows what the final result will be.

However, for the majority of domestic netizens, they definitely support Xu Yuan.

I believe Xu Yuan can prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Just like Hodge's conjecture last time.

Under Xu Yuan’s reply, the number of supportive messages increased like a rocket.

The domestic mathematics community was extremely excited.

"Great! I, Xu Shen, am finally going to return to mathematics. The Millennium Prize puzzle still depends on us."

"Wow, what kind of day is today? There are so many surprises."

“I’m really looking forward to studying the Riemann hypothesis.”

"If the Riemann hypothesis can be proven, it will have substantive significance in many fields."

"expect."

"Mr. Xu went around in other fields and mastered the technology for this research. But when he looked back, he found that there was no progress in mathematics. So he had to come back to advance the progress."

"If someone can prove the Hodge hypothesis, he is already called a master of mathematics. If he can solve the Riemann hypothesis, he will be the true emperor of mathematics."

“I hope to hear the good news soon.”

As the domestic enthusiasm spread, the news quickly reached the overseas mathematics community.

So much so that things finally became a little unexpected.

Originally, a science and technology awards conference was held in China today, and Xu Yuan's winning of the highest science and technology award at the age of over 30 should have been hot news reported by overseas media.

In the end, what was published was all about discussing whether Xu Yuan could prove the Riemann hypothesis.

Each title is more gimmicky than the last.

What Xu Yuan did after the Hodge conjecture was challenged by the Riemann hypothesis?

What is the success rate of proving the world's difficult mathematical problems again after being in my thirties?

Of course, as many people believe in it as there are people who doubt it. The main reason is that when Xu Yuan proved the Hodge conjecture, he was less than 30 years old and his brain was at its most active stage.

With Xu Yuan's talent in mathematics, the proof was completed.

But Xu Yuan is now in his thirties and has not been immersed in mathematical research for such a long time.

For normal people, the brain activity level will definitely decrease, and they may feel unable to think well.

In this situation, facing the world's top problem, the difficulty is much greater than last time.

However, no matter how Xu Yuan's research on the Riemann hypothesis ultimately turns out, it will not affect his status in the mathematics community, and he will still be the youngest master of mathematics.

-

Xu Yuan was somewhat amused and confused about the discussion in the overseas mathematics community regarding his research on the Riemann hypothesis.

It was clearly just a simple reply to fans, but I never expected it to cause such a big discussion around the world, with even many ordinary people getting involved.

But he didn't take these comments from other people seriously.

Just chose to ignore it.

As some have said, the brain does not function at its peak as we age.

Even the body will gradually become weak.

This is the normal law of nature.

But Xu Yuan was surprised to find early on that after he entered the deep learning state, his thinking state was not affected at all, which means that he could always maintain his brain state.

Even when you are in your seventies or eighties, you can still participate in project research and development.

Until life ends completely.

Originally, Xu Yuan wanted to continue focusing on the Riemann hypothesis after the Science and Technology Awards Conference.

Let’s see how difficult this world’s most difficult mathematical problem can be for him.

As a result, an incident that suddenly occurred overseas directly disrupted the original plan.

The global situation has become tense.

6 month 28 day.

Friday.

Columbia District.

In the morning, Congressman Gwen attended a press conference.

In response to reporters' questions, when talking about quantum communication technology, he pointed out that quantum technology is related to the future development of human civilization, and unilateral rash research will destroy the original peace.

Therefore, he expressed the hope that quantum communication technology could be shared globally.

Communicate what is needed.

Joint research.

Since this kind of thing has happened with gallium nitride radar, this made the reporter also question it.

"Excuse me, Councillor Gwen. As far as I know, the other party has clearly refused to cooperate with us in the previous incident of gallium nitride radar technology, and even eventually destroyed our advantage in the semiconductor industry."

"How can the House guarantee that the other party will agree to cooperate this time?"

After listening to the question from a male reporter on the stage, Gwen raised the corners of her mouth confidently and smiled.

The whole person seemed to have everything planned out for him.

Then he began to preach:
"We will find a way to get them to agree to cooperate and share quantum communication-related technologies, because this is related to the safe and harmonious development of human civilization."

"I believe it won't be long before you hear good news."
