You say you have an iron will, are you serious?

After returning from the moon, Zhao Mo resumed his normal routine.

From the beginning of the month, except for the attribute value reward on the second day, there is no subsequent trigger.

Zhao Mo didn't care. He had persisted for so many years without any year-end bonus, five-year or ten-year bonus, but he had managed to get through it. Most of the office workers were like this, and he had already "laid down".

While he was on the moon, the "Zhao Mo Science Award" established in his name selected the first winners and awarded certificates and prizes, competing with the Nobel Prize.

His vacancy is regrettable, but the vast majority of people expressed understanding, saying that it was to avoid suspicion.

Of course, due to his absence, the popularity of this year's award ceremony was not as high as it should have been. The scientists who came to receive the awards expressed their regret for not seeing Zhao Mo.

There were certainly some surprises. The three scientists from America and John Bull who won awards in the field of medicine refused to accept the awards and did not come to the scene.

The award was finally given to them, but it was in vain.

Naturally, domestic media praised the awarding of this prize, saying it was very fair, just and open.

Although there were many doubts from foreign media, seeing such a generous award, they naturally expressed their acceptance. Then the Gallic and Russian media reported that this award was a good start and could replace the Nobel Prize, which was manipulated by politics, in the future.
Zhao Mo naturally just laughed it off.

Before we knew it, it was the end of 2019.

In this life, the years are peaceful.

However, the peaceful times have little to do with people's joys and sorrows.

Demand is never satisfied, everyone wants more and keeps demanding.

No one is willing to just lie down, do a comfortable job, eat and drink, and live a dull life.

While others have houses, cars, fine wine and delicious food, you are eating at roadside stalls and riding an electric bike. Who can stand this?
Before we truly get rid of this earth, productivity will not reach the point where all people are united and all material needs are met, and everyone will still have to roll.

The world is still not at peace. The explosion of several gunpowder barrels has torn off the disguise of the modern civilized world. Under the war, rape, looting, massacre and other evils are nakedly displayed in front of the world, but the world is powerless to do anything.

For the vast majority of people in the country, just roll up your sleeves and be a little tired. As long as the years are peaceful, everything can be negotiated.

As for taking action, we are peace-loving people and can only use the method of persuasion.

In January 2020, at the annual National Science and Technology Awards Ceremony, Schultz, who was a visiting professor at PBC University, received the International Friend Award, congratulating him on his achievements in mathematics.

Schultz solved the BSD conjecture at the end of October, using Zhao Mo's new method to solve the Riemann hypothesis.

Schultz's popularity for winning the award is still very high, especially when he specially thanked Zhao Mo when he gave his speech, saying that he was inspired by Zhao Mo's method of solving the Riemann hypothesis, which enabled him to solve the BSD conjecture.

People at home and abroad suddenly woke up at this time, it turned out that what Zhao Mo said before was true!
"Sure enough, God Zhao never lies to us!"

"Damn it! I didn't believe in Zhao Shen!"

"Wow, it turns out that Master Zhao really solved all the remaining four difficult problems at the Clay Mathematics Institute, but he just didn't tell us!"

"Damn, each question costs one million dollars, and there are only three difficult questions left. I have to study them!"

"Haha, do you really think that you can solve the remaining problems just by what Zhao Shen said?"

"I believe in Master Zhao, but the only problem now is that I'm not very good at math. Is there anyone who can teach me?"

"Just go to bed. If you know math, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. Don't say that you should have believed it earlier. You can't understand what the four difficult problems are talking about even if they are placed in front of you!"

……

This ushered in a new wave of research enthusiasm in the mathematics community, and many people began to think about finding ways to solve the remaining three difficult problems from Zhao Mo's research, and he became famous overnight.

Many people have come out to criticize this phenomenon.

Zhao Mo didn't care at first, but he didn't expect that even Professor Qiu stood up to criticize him and gave a speech, saying that except for Zhao Mo, our country is actually several decades behind foreign countries in the field of mathematics, equivalent to the level of America in the 1950s and 1960s.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Professor Qiu is a very famous figure with great influence. His remarks immediately sparked a lot of discussion in the country. Many former members of the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Sciences also stood up to support Professor Qiu's statement, criticizing people for flocking to study conjectures and difficult problems, saying that this was not their proper job.

The reason why all the former engineers and scientists spoke out, accepted interviews from the media, or opened their own TikTok accounts to speak out is because only a very small number of engineers and scientists are now academicians of the Academy of Mathematics, and the vast majority are not academicians of the Academy of Mathematics. They will not comment on non-professional issues, which is also one of the regulations. Zhao Mo suggested adding this regulation a long time ago.

As for the few mathematics scholars, how could they stand up and say anything at this time? Didn’t they see that Zhao Mo hasn’t said anything yet?
They wouldn't say a word until Zhao Mo spoke up.

If they speak out against Professor Qiu, they will directly confront Professor Qiu and may be ridiculed by the crowd. After all, Professor Qiu is a top figure in mathematics who is full of honors. They are just domestic academicians of mathematics and cannot compare with him in strength.

On the contrary, if they speak out in support of Professor Qiu, what if Zhao Mo doesn't support them, then wouldn't they be in trouble?
Zhao Mo is the bigger boss, and his words are the final word.

There are many voices supporting Professor Qiu on the Internet, but there are more criticisms or ridicules, because in the real world, we have surpassed America, and we have also surpassed America in mathematical applications. The facts are contrary to what Professor Qiu said. Many people tagged Zhao Mo's account, hoping that he would speak out and refute Professor Qiu's wrong remarks.

Zhao Mo actually had some opinions as well. Why talk about these things for no reason?

Different standpoints and different angles of looking at the problem will naturally lead to very different conclusions.

It is indeed criticized that Professor Qiu directly used the term "mathematician" instead of "theoretical mathematician".

When it comes to theoretical mathematicians working on mysterious things, we are indeed not as good as those in foreign countries in this area, to be honest.

Chinese people are practical, and this is in our traditional culture and our genes. So for any subject, we start from the application. When doing research, the first and subconscious thought is, what is the use of this thing?

It's useless. In most cases, people won't study it.

It worked, so I started researching.

Therefore, purely theoretical research is relatively rare.

But that is old news.

With the development of economy and science and technology, people have become richer and their concepts are changing, so theoretical research has gradually emerged.

If theoretical research that is just empty talk does not produce anything, then all the investment will be in vain. Without sufficient financial support, it will be unsustainable.

More importantly, there is too much room for theoretical research. If you take the funds but don't produce any results, investors can only stare blankly, because they cannot judge whether you are actually doing research.

In terms of national policies, when you invest a large amount of money in theoretical research and there is no output, a large group of people will curse the policy makers as traitors, squandering the people's money, and there are still poor people in certain places who can't eat, etc.; but when you don't invest, these people will curse the traitors again, asking why you don't do these researches, no wonder we are worse than other countries, etc....

They say both the right and the wrong things, and they are always right.

The rationalists are just so outrageous.

But if you ask them to come up with a plan, they will say it is not their business and they just talk.

"Most likely it's going to take investment from the government. Oh, it's hard to put it into words~"

Zhao Mo felt that he had miscalculated.

Not long after, people from the relevant department found him and asked for his opinion.

He did not respond to the netizens' comments, but he did give his own answer regarding the macroeconomic policies that affect the country: "Don't worry about it. The Strong Foundation Plan will continue to be implemented. Although the progress of theoretical mathematicians can be promoted by large-scale investment, the fundamental thing is the change in people's concepts and the growth of productivity. When people meet all their material needs, art and academia will prosper~"

Yes, development is the fundamental solution to all problems!
Zhao Mo didn’t understand the profound meaning of this sentence before, but he can understand it now.

Many social problems are about interests.

In the final analysis, interests are actually material things!

When productivity is sufficient and all material needs can be met, many problems will be eliminated by themselves.

When all material needs are met, spiritual pursuit becomes inevitable, and prosperity will follow naturally, whether in art or academia.

So Zhao Mo handled the matter coldly, and the relevant departments also handled it coldly.

Although it was handled coldly, Chinese people are very smart. They quickly understood from this reaction and Professor Qiu’s subsequent actions that we don’t care about this issue and that it is insignificant.

The 2020 Spring Festival passed in the midst of turmoil, and the new year arrived.

It was also from this year that people's views changed.

In the past, every year was bad, but next year will be better. This year was the best year last year, and every year after that will be worse.

But in fact, what we say and what actually happens are completely opposite. Although we say things are getting worse, life is actually still getting better.

Not to mention other things, just take big items like smart home appliances and smart cars, which cost thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, half a million or even millions of yuan. Whenever a new product is released, there are still countless orders.

In terms of development, we have naturally reached new highs.

In April, the fifth manned lunar landing mission was successful.

On the moon, the huge lunar base is already clearly visible.

At this time, a particularly important press conference was held by the health department and several other departments.
