When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student
Chapter 716 The Academic Power of the East
Time flew by and it was already August.
During this period, major events occurred both domestically and internationally.
However, in some specific related fields, the turmoil has never stopped.
The competition between the International Congress of Mathematicians and the China Mathematical Summit has attracted the attention of mathematicians from far more than just the world.
Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences.
This is not an exaggeration of the importance of mathematics, but simply the truth.
The importance of mathematics is determined by the nature of modern science, which is based on induction and deduction, and mathematics is a tool for induction and deduction.
If a discipline can be called a science, it must be something that can be expressed using mathematics.
This is why mathematics forms the foundation of all natural sciences.
By using mathematics to build models, and through induction and deduction, we can ultimately find certain inherent laws that can be used by humankind.
Mathematics, as a tool, can simplify calculations and even enable calculations that were previously impossible through a numerical theorem.
Because of the importance of mathematics, there are quite a few scholars who pay attention to the development of the field.
Breakthroughs have been made in fields such as physics, chemistry, and aerodynamics thanks to advancements in mathematics.
The most obvious example is aerodynamics.
Wang Dong solved the turbulence problem, which led to a major breakthrough in aerodynamics.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the focus of global scholars will undoubtedly be on the International Congress of Mathematicians.
After all, this conference has a long history, a large number of participants, and they are all industry leaders.
However, when news spread from China that Wang Donglai would attend the China Mathematics Summit and discuss and exchange ideas with the participants on some mathematical problems.
This immediately changed many people's minds.
To have an exchange and discussion with a top mathematician is something that countless scholars dream of.
In many fields, the efficiency gains from having a top mathematician assist in research are incredibly significant.
Wang Donglai's achievements in so many fields have not aroused much suspicion.
One of the main reasons for this is his exceptional talent in mathematics.
To reiterate, in other fields, the difference between geniuses may not be that great.
However, in the field of mathematics, the gap between geniuses may be greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
It's an overwhelmingly powerful force!
Therefore, in the later stages, more and more scholars accepted invitations to the China Mathematics Summit.
Although it is not as large as the International Congress of Mathematicians, the difference is not too great.
August 7th.
The First National Mathematics Summit was officially held.
Tangdu City demonstrated extremely high efficiency in such a short period of time.
We have arranged all the work related to this international academic conference properly.
Of course, this also involved the cooperation of Galaxy Technology and Tangdu Jiaotong University.
The opening ceremony of this mathematics summit was truly awe-inspiring for everyone.
At the entrance of the venue, an entrance was prepared with a holographic projection of pi.
The sign-in area is a wall of bamboo slips engraved with the "Zhoubi Suanjing" (a classic Chinese mathematical text).
The entire venue was decorated in a traditional Chinese style, showcasing a long history and culture in every detail.
Wang Donglai was not involved in this; it was entirely done by his subordinates.
After all, many people are well aware of Wang Donglai's style of doing things.
When superiors have certain preferences, subordinates will surely follow suit!
Therefore, such talent naturally exists within Galaxy Technology.
This was evident when the venue was set up.
Upon arriving at the venue, Wang Donglai was extremely satisfied with the setup.
"Donglai, Galaxy Technology truly lives up to its reputation as a domestic giant; it has produced a wealth of talented individuals!"
"The venue setup is really great, very creative, and it showcases our long history and culture very well, leaving a deep impression on people."
Han Hua stood beside Wang Donglai and said with a sigh.
As Wang Donglai's teacher, Han Hua had many feelings.
He has taught at Jiaotong University in Tangdu for many years and has taught countless students.
Those who were able to get into Tangdu Jiaotong University were all top students in the college entrance examination that year.
After all, no matter what, Tangdu Jiaotong University is a member of the C9 League, so it still has a certain prestige.
However, even among so many elite peers, none could compare to Wang Donglai.
If you count carefully, it has only been six years since Wang Donglai finished his college entrance examination.
He was able to rise from a peasant family in a mountain village to become a college student, a college professor, an outstanding entrepreneur, an academician, and the world's richest man.
Yes.
According to the publicly available Forbes list, Wang Donglai is already the world's richest man.
Bezos, whose net worth surpasses that of Amazon's $110 billion, has become the world's richest person.
Forbes estimates Wang Donglai's net worth at a staggering $150 billion.
The power of money is immense.
It was thanks to the Forbes list that Wang Donglai gained fame, which further boosted Galaxy Technology's reputation.
This also benefited the holding of this mathematics summit.
In fact, before China hosted this mathematics summit, it had already faced a lot of doubts and backlash.
For example, IMU directly announced to the media that papers from the China Mathematics Summit would not be included in the impact factor, in an attempt to undermine the very foundation of the China Mathematics Summit.
In response to this, the Chinese Mathematical Association, in conjunction with domestic academic institutions and with the support of higher authorities, introduced the Zu Chongzhi Index as a substitute.
They appear to be completely decoupled from academia, and have not stopped their own progress despite Western skepticism.
The West's reaction was certainly not limited to this.
They even resorted to the same visa refusal tactics they had used before, refusing visas to scholars coming to China to attend a mathematics summit.
In response to this, China has also introduced a green channel for academic asylum.
Other methods, such as questioning the academic authority of China, were addressed by collaborating with Mao Zedong and others.
These methods did not have much effect.
The successful convening of the National Mathematics Summit is proof of this.
The number of attendees exceeded three hundred. While that may not seem like a large number, all three hundred or so were scholars and professors.
Those media reporters and others were not included in the calculation.
Among these people are scholars from major universities around the world.
Of course, the most famous are Deligne, Tao Zhexuan, Qiu Chengtong, and others.
If this mathematics summit were to proceed as arranged by the Chinese Mathematical Association, there would be a process involving a speech by a leader.
However, at Wang Donglai's insistence, all procedures were simplified.
"This is an academic conference with a very pure purpose: to promote academic exchange and development. Any unnecessary procedures should be eliminated!"
After that statement, the higher-ups naturally couldn't say anything more about what a leader was saying.
Everyone at this mathematics summit knew what the real main course was.
The vast majority of people came because of Wang Donglai's name, especially scholars and professors from international universities.
It was precisely because of this situation that Wang Donglai's lecture was placed last.
Letting others share their experiences first is the best way to maximize benefits.
Everyone knew this, so they didn't have much of an opinion.
that's it.
The first half of the day passed quickly.
When Wang Donglai took the stage, before he even spoke, thunderous applause erupted from below.
Upon seeing this, Wang Donglai smiled slightly, but his eyes remained calm.
"I am very pleased that everyone can attend this mathematics summit. I assure you that your trip will not be in vain."
"Next, I will explain the proof of the Navier-Stokes equations, and we can discuss and exchange ideas later."
After saying those two sentences, Wang Donglai began to explain his reasoning for proof.
At the same time, he began writing his proof steps on the huge blackboard behind him.
"Many people have focused on the method of infinitesimal elements when deriving the Navier-Stokes equations, which isn't entirely wrong..."
“Through the continuity equation, we can easily derive αΩ/αγ+▽·(ρú)=0”
"..."
"The momentum equation, taking the x-direction as an example..."
"αρú/ατ+(▽·(ρú))=ρχ+(αρú/ατ+αρδ/αγ+αρ/αν)..."
"..."
"For viscous fluids, the shear stress is determined according to the generalized Newton's law of internal friction:..."
"The pressure at a point in a viscous fluid is not equal in the three directions. The pressure at any point and the normal stress in the three directions are related as follows:..."
"..."
"By substituting the input of compressible fluids, the divergence is 0 for incompressible fluids..."
"..."
On the podium, Wang Donglai spoke clearly and logically, explaining the derivation process and thought process of the Navier-Stokes equations in detail.
Some simple steps are skipped, while only some complex core steps are written on the blackboard behind them.
When narrating, I will also emphasize the key points.
Even so, it took two and a half hours to explain it in its entirety.
During those two and a half hours, Wang Donglai didn't stop for a single minute or drink a drop of water.
He moved with ease and grace, exuding an indescribable sense of relaxation and comfort.
As he finished speaking, Wang Donglai still had a faint smile on his face as he addressed the audience, saying, "Now that I've thought of this much, everyone should understand my line of reasoning."
"Actually, the proof of the Navier-Stokes equations is not difficult. As long as you grasp the key points I mentioned, you can prove it with a little effort."
Heaven help me, when Wang Donglai said those words, he was really speaking his mind unconsciously.
He was neither arrogant nor boastful.
However, these words were heard differently by the people present and the viewers watching the live stream.
A mathematical problem that has baffled countless mathematicians around the world has been presented to you as a very simple problem to solve.
They even said that it could be proven with a little effort.
These words alone were enough to send everyone's blood pressure soaring.
However, what's even more frustrating is that Wang Donglai actually has the confidence to say this.
Because he proved the Ns equation.
Wang Donglai has the qualifications and the confidence to say these things.
Despite saying that, everyone still felt somewhat speechless and frustrated.
Immediately, a large number of comments appeared in the live stream.
"Hey, that's really funny. Do you think I don't want to prove the Navier-Stokes equations?"
"Asking how to put an elephant in a refrigerator only requires three steps: first, open the refrigerator; second, put the elephant in; and third, close the door."
"Actually, what Academician Wang said is not wrong. As long as you have Academician Wang's intelligence, let alone proving the ns equation, I can prove Goldbach's conjecture or any other conjecture for you!"
"Can you expand your imagination a bit? It's time to fantasize, but you still don't dare to let loose. You've really gone stupid from working. Your mind is imprisoned. If I had Academician Wang's intelligence, I definitely wouldn't stay on Earth. I would build a spaceship and go to explore the universe."
"Look quickly! The camera just panned across those scholars below, and they looked rather unwell!"
"Rumors don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife. Everyone who can appear in this academic lecture hall is a university professor. Most of you netizens here have probably never encountered people of this caliber in your daily lives, but their reaction is the same as ours. What does that mean?"
"This means that all of us, whether we are professors, have a bachelor's degree, or only a high school diploma, are nothing but small fry in front of Academician Wang..."
"It's a pity that there weren't enough people attending the conference this time, so those foreigners couldn't get a proper chance to admire Academician Wang's charisma."
"I think the future World Congress of Mathematicians will probably become a joke."
“Even Academician Wang, a top mathematician, is unwilling to attend. He only shows up once every time the World Congress of Mathematicians is held. I think it won’t be long before not many people attend this so-called World Congress of Mathematicians.”
"As someone in the field, let me tell you something that many people are not aware of: ever since Academician Wang stopped submitting his papers to international journals and started submitting them to 'Mathematical World,' a journal founded by Tangdu Jiaotong University, many professors in the field of mathematics have followed suit and submitted their papers to this journal as well."
"Speaking of which, wasn't Tangdu City supposed to build the Xuanwu Battery Industrial Park, which is worth trillions of yuan? Why is there no news about it? When will construction finally start? I just graduated and I'm hesitating about whether to come to Tangdu City to find a job!"
"Hey upstairs, hurry up and buy your tickets to Tangdu City! This is absolutely the biggest opportunity of your life, you'll never have another chance if you miss it!"
"Tangdu City is about to take off. The earlier you arrive, the sooner you can occupy your niche and reap the greater benefits."
"Whether you're here to work, looking for a job, or want to start a small business, hurry up and come to Tangdu City. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The rise of Tangdu City is just around the corner!"
The topic in the online live stream suddenly veered off course, shifting from academic discussions to the development of Tangdu City.
Inside the lecture hall, Wang Donglai didn't leave but continued his lecture. (End of Chapter)
