From small town scholar to chief scientist

Chapter 217 The Crawford Award!
The time soon came to October 10, and the exclusive plane had arrived at the airport.

Looking at a blue plane with shining wings, Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh, is this the status after achievement.

Sure enough.

Not long after, Zhou Yi quickly boarded the plane,

When Zhou Yi sat firmly, it didn't take long for the plane to slide quickly to the runway, like a gull skimming the sea, rushing towards the blue sky.

The blue transparent wings, under the sunlight, resemble the wings of a dragonfly.

Birkar was also traveling with Zhou Yi.

On the plane, Zhou Yi wanted to close his eyes and rest his mind, but Birkar on the side said:

"It's been a long time since I came here. Since I came to the Great Xia Kingdom, I seem to have integrated into the Great Xia Kingdom. It's just that Chinese is too slow to learn."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"Help a special bilingual teacher, maybe soon, language is really trivial to us mathematicians.

I remember which mathematician is not proficient in many national languages, I forgot who it is. "

Birkar also seemed to have an impression, and said:

"I seem to have a little impression, but I can't remember who it is, but he seems to think that Chinese is the most difficult language."

The two of them chatted with one another, after all, at Shuimu University, the two often communicated with each other.

Bill Carr said:
"This Crawford Award actually has a little story."

Zhou Yirao asked with interest:
"Any other stories?"

Bill Carr said:

"In addition to astronomy, mathematics, earth sciences, and biological sciences, the Craford Awards are awarded
There is also an award for polyarthritis. "

Zhou Yi was a little surprised and said:
"And the polyarthritis award? Is there a story in it?"

Bill Carr said:

"Old Mr. Crawford suffered from rheumatoid arthritis when he was alive, and suffered very badly from it,
Therefore, I hope that people all over the world will not suffer from this disease, so this award was established. "

Zhou Yi was silent for a while, thinking that Crawford was the same as the others,

They all want to leave a name after death, and their name will go down in history, for fear that they will be forgotten by future generations.

Now it seems that there is still some benevolence.

At least this Arthritis Award can really benefit the bottom people in the world.

Those who have been on the construction site all year round and engaged in some heavy physical work all year round, most of them will suffer from arthritis.

So it is the workers who benefit the most.

With the improvement of science and technology, the drugs for these diseases will also decrease.

At least the poor can afford it.

Zhou Yi said:

"Old Mr. Crawford is indeed a good man."

Bill Carr said:
"In fact, at the beginning of the award, there was only a prize of 35 Swedish kronor, and now the prize has reached 2023 million Swedish kronor in 600."

Zhou Yi smiled and said:

"As for the 50 magnesium gold, if it weren't for the fact that the Science Breakthrough Prize was established by the world's top rich people, there are really few bonuses that can match it."

Bill Carr said:

"Aren't the remaining six millennium puzzles worth millions of dollars?"

Zhou Yi smiled, but didn't answer. Is this million magnesium gold available to ordinary people?

"Close your eyes and rest."

Zhou Yi said.

Birkar also thinks that middle-aged people need to take care of themselves. After all, people in their 40s should take better care of themselves.

People in Daxia seem to like maintenance.

As the plane landed, Zhou Yi and the others slowly woke up.

As soon as Zhou Yi and Bill Carr got off the plane, they saw several people coming towards them.

With a very eager smile on his face, he said:

"Professor Zhou Yi and Professor Birkar?"

Zhou Yi was in a daze, and Bilkar on the side said:

"It's us, Professor Zhou. This is the Secretary-General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Goran Hansen. Mr. Hansen, this is our Professor Zhou Yi from Shuimu University."

Golan Hansen stretched out his hand very enthusiastically and said:
"Hello, Professor Zhou Yi, I'm Golan Hansen, and it's a great honor to invite you to our side."

Zhou Yi said:

"Hi Mr. Hansen, I am Zhou Yi, and I am very honored to receive this medal."

"Then invite Professor Zhou Yi and Professor Birkar to join us."

Golan Hansen said.

The two did not refuse, and said one after another:
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

On a special car, Goran Hansen said:

"Stockholm, our capital and largest city in Sweden,
It is also our political, economic, cultural, transportation center and main port in Sweden, and it is also the official palace of the Swedish national government, parliament and royal family. It is a world-renowned international art metropolis. "

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhou Yi felt a strong artistic atmosphere in the strong atmosphere.

I saw that Golan Hansen continued to introduce Zhou Yi:

"Stockholm is located on the east coast of Sweden, near the Baltic Sea, where Lake Mälaren enters the sea. The urban area is distributed on 14 islands and a peninsula. More than 70 bridges connect these islands as one."

Zhou Yi and Bill Carr nodded, expressing their approval, it is indeed a very nice city.

Golan Hansen said proudly:
"Stockholm was founded in the 13th century, and since 1436 Stockholm has become the political, cultural, economic and transportation center of Sweden.

Stockholm has been well preserved due to the damage from the war. Now there are more than 100 museums and scenic spots, including history, nationality, nature, art and other aspects. "

Zhou Yi nodded in agreement and said:
"History is indeed long, and Stockholm is indeed a city with a history."

Only Bilkar felt a little disapproving in his heart. If he hadn't gone to the Great Xia Kingdom, he might agree.

But after going there, many ancient cities in the Great Xia Kingdom actually have a very profound historical heritage.

There is now a district in the capital of Shu, the land of abundance, named after Marquis Wu.

For thousands of years, only Zhuge Wuhou was alone, let alone the other historical ancient capitals, which have a long history.

It is a very stupid thing to talk about history in front of a person from an ancient country.

Bircar could also see that Zhou Yi's agreement was out of politeness.

Golan Hansen seemed to see something, and said:

"Of course, Stockholm is also a high-tech city with many universities and developed industries. It is also the financial center of Sweden, and the headquarters of major Swedish banks are here.

And Stockholm is the hometown of Alfred Nobel.

Since 1901, the Stockholm Concert Hall has held a grand Nobel Prize awarding ceremony. Our King personally awards the Nobel Prize winners and holds a dinner in the town hall. "

Zhou Yi also had to sigh in his heart, after all, he was a developed country that had caught up with every industrial revolution.

Mite Qing has closed the country for hundreds of years, and missed too many things,

The gap behind is simply not something that can be caught up in just over 70 years.

Zhou Yi said:

"Stockholm is truly a cosmopolitan city."

Goran Hansen says:

"Actually, when we saw Professor Zhou Yi, we seemed to see Tao Zhexuan back then. He was so young back then.

I didn't expect there to be a mathematician younger than him, and you are only 20 years old, you are truly a genius, rare in the world.

In the future, I don't think anyone will break this record. "

Terence Tao won the Crawford Award in 2012 when he was only 37 years old.

Zhou Yi said very modestly:
"There are no geniuses in the world, some are just tireless efforts, plus that little bit of talent, they are so lucky.

As for the future, mathematics knows no bounds.Only one generation after another pushes forward the development of mathematics,
I'm just a bigger wave in this generation.

Maybe someone younger than me will get this award in the future,
Or has someone younger than me achieved more? "

Golan Hansen said with a smile:

"That difficulty is not ordinary."

Zhou Yi said lightly:

"No one can tell what will happen in the future."

Not long after, Zhou Yi and Birkar came to a hotel.

As the winner of the Fields Medal, Bill Carr must have the treatment he deserves.

It was night, Zhou Yi was lying on the big bed in the hotel, looking at the boundless and beautiful night scene outside the window,

Very emotional.

Then fell asleep in a coma.

Travel fatigue and jet lag, coupled with Zhou Yi's long-term lack of sleep, so he fell asleep quickly.

The next day, afternoon.

The Stockholm Concert Hall, with a sense of historical solemnity, is filled with very heavy ancient ritual music, and thousands of seats are basically full.

Listening to this music, Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling sorry for the lost classical music of the Great Xia Kingdom.

When the island country invaded Qufu and snatched a large number of movements, it caused the loss of many thick and classical music of the Great Xia Kingdom.

In the final analysis, everything is still the situation caused by the mites.

Not long after, Dan Dalhammar, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, stepped onto the stage,

An old man with a gray beard made solemn opening remarks about the Dean Dan Dalhammar,
Since 1994, Professor of Molecular Cell Biology, Uppsala University, Sweden,
He has been engaged in the research and teaching of vertebrate evolution, pharmacology, neurobiology, and endocrinology for a long time, and has published more than 200 papers, which have been cited more than 13000 times.

Not long after, under a burst of loud applause, Secretary-General Goran Hansen walked up in a grand dress,
The voice was completely different from yesterday, and it was very solemnly read:

"Life and science are not only the present and the future, but also the mystery of the origin.

The beginning of the earth, the beginning of biology, and the evolution of life in 30 billion years may reveal a period of biochemical evolution for us,
Andrew Knoll, a professor of natural history at Harvard University in the U.S., received the Crawford Earth Science Award this year.

'In recognition of fundamental contributions to our understanding of the first three billion years of life on Earth and the interaction of life with the physical environment over time'. "

Dan Dalhammar, President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences who stepped off the podium, said to Zhou Yi:

"Professor Zhou Yi, hello."

Zhou Yi also said very politely:

"Hello, Dean Dan Dalhammar."

Dan Dalhammar said something meaningful to Zhou Yi,
"Actually, our Crawford Awards are awarded every four years."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, and Birkar whispered beside him:
"It is indeed the case. The last time it was awarded was in 2020."

Zhou Yi heard the words and said:

"Thank you."

Dan Dalhammar says:

"It's our honor, but it's just awarded one year in advance."

Not long after, the winner, Professor Andrew Knoll, began to introduce his field,
Those present were very polite and listened carefully.

When Professor Andrew Knoll finished his last sentence, Goran-Hansen said:

"With the development of science and technology, people's cognition of mathematics has become more and more important.
If many subjects are approaching the truth, then mathematics itself is the truth, and it is the common language left by God in all dimensions of the universe.

Those complex and pure number theories are quietly changing the technology of today's world, and artificial intelligence is closely related to it.

If technology changes the world, then the consensus in the world today is that mathematics changes technology.

A course of Zhou's geometry and a course of Zhou's analytic method undoubtedly opened a new door for the world of mathematics.
The difficult problems in number theory, which we regard as scourges, may be solved one by one under Zhou's analytical method.

The technology that once hindered the development of our artificial intelligence may be able to achieve transformative development by opening up new Zhou geometry directions.

At that time, we may lead to the future in advance and enjoy the convenience of the super-intelligence era in advance.

Next, I announce that the professor who won the Crawford Prize in Mathematics is Professor Zhou Yi from Shuimu University in Daxia, an ancient oriental country! "

At this moment, there was an overwhelming applause from the audience.

Compared with before, it is more protracted and continuous.

The vast majority of people come here, not to see Professor Andrew Knoll at Harvard University.

What's more, I want to witness Zhou Yi's demeanor.

A world-renowned mathematician, the most gifted mathematician alive today.

Amid the applause, Zhou Yi walked up to the awarding platform very calmly.

Since the Crawford Award was first awarded in 1982, Zhou Yi was the first scholar of Daxia nationality to take the stage.

At this time, the applause rang out again. Scholars from all over the world and guests of different skin colors applauded one after another.

In their hearts, there is only one word.

Too young, really too young.

Standing in front of Zhou Yi at this moment is the current Swedish King Carl XVI Gustaf and his queen.

"Congratulations, Professor Zhou Yi."

The white-haired old man has a smile like a spring breeze on his face, very kind and kind,
Then handed the medal to Zhou Yi.

After Zhou Yi took both hands, he shook hands with the king, then smiled very politely and said:
"Thank you."

"This is what you deserve, and if you can't get this medal, I think the Crawford Award will lose its meaning.

An award that cannot be awarded fairly and justly is a challenge to its authority and a question of its gold content. "

The king also said very politely.

Zhou Yi secretly thought that the old king still has something, but the level of speaking is different.

Next is the group photo of Zhou Yi with the king and queen, under the witness of media reporters from all over the world.

Kakaka, a burst of lights flickered.

I believe that within a few minutes, relevant news about Zhou Yi will be publicized in various media around the world.

After all, it is live broadcasting online now, and there are countless online viewers watching it all the time.

Holding the medal in his hand, Zhou Yi was full of emotion in his heart. Now his status in the country is probably about to reach a peak.

The Craford Award, an award on par with the Nobel Prize, deserves a lot of media publicity.

At this moment, Dan Dalhammar, President of the Royal Academy of Sciences, stepped onto the podium and said with a microphone:
"Before we called Professor Zhou, he said that he would hold a very interesting press conference on the spot, and I was already looking forward to it.

Next, we invite Professor Zhou Yi to make a report for us. "

In an instant, the applause resounded like thunder in the hall.
