Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 271 Xiao Xu, do you want the reward?

Xu Qingshan calmed down. He thought it was no coincidence that Tian Gang told him this at this time.

"In 06, Mr. Qiu asked Zhu and Cao to go to Perelman, trying to share the award by re-stating his already completed proof. Even though they were later proven to have plagiarized, Perelman still completely withdrew from the mathematics community."

Tian Gang sighed, then looked at Xu Qingshan seriously and said.

"I'm saying it's possible. If you really try to complete the Riemann hypothesis, you must not leak the information before you fully prove it. Sir Deligne and Mr. Bombieri both have good academic standards and professional ethics. You can cooperate with them, but you must grasp the most important things by yourself. Don't even tell me."

Tian Gang has witnessed so much over the years.

This time, Xu Qingshan chose to announce Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture at the academic conference without much advance notice. Tian Gang actually felt that there was nothing wrong with it, mainly because they were concise enough that there was no need for complicated re-inferences and proofs.

Perelman's proof process at the time was actually a bit sloppy, and he skipped a lot of steps in the middle, so he needed Tsuyoshi Arita and others to supplement his proof and provide evidence.

But Xu Qingshan didn't need it, what he took out was the complete form.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will."

Xu Qingshan nodded.

"We're going back the day after tomorrow, so why don't you take Xiao Jiang for a walk tomorrow?"

"We have this plan, but we don't have an American driver's license."

Xu Qingshan smiled.

Tian Gang waved his hand.

"Let Xiaohua drive. He has it. I'll contact some old friends first and see if I can invite them back to Beijing University."

Tian Gang went to give instructions to Zhu Xiaohua, then he went to look for the target with a glass of wine in hand.

Xu Qingshan's excellence gave him enough confidence to invite those big names in various fields. Although he could not come directly to Beijing as an honorary professor like Deligne and Bonbiere and teach in Beijing during the non-teaching period, or even open a direct cooperation channel between Peking University and Princeton's Department of Mathematics, he could still invite them to give a few lectures at the Beijing Mathematics Center.

Be it students, young teachers, or even middle-aged pillars of the profession, lectures by top experts can bring them immense benefits.

Xu Qingshan did not refuse.

Zhu Xiaohua was also happy to become a driver.

In his opinion, Xu Qingshan is more important than the big guys at this dinner. He has no shortage of opportunities to attend such dinners, but he lacks the opportunity to cultivate feelings with Xu Qingshan!
I took a quick walk around Princeton.

Xu Qingshan and his friends still didn’t get to see the first snow in Princeton, so they boarded a plane back to China.

This time I return home.

There was no such thing as reporters interviewing us as soon as we got off the plane.

The delegation led by Tian Gang is small and high-profile, and the level of this academic conference is also very high. At present, the level of information flow between China and the United States is not that high.

It was around this time that the American media confirmed the authenticity of the content and published it in the newspaper. By the time China noticed this major achievement, Xu Qingshan would have already returned home.

However, Xu Qingshan didn’t have time to enjoy a relaxing life for two days.

Kyoto University began to decorate with lights and banners again.

In fact, Peking University usually doesn’t like banners very much, unless it is a major achievement. But after Xu Qingshan came to the school this year, everything can be considered an important achievement.

The lowest level may be the regional champion of the ICPC Asia Qualifiers.

It’s just that Beijing University hasn’t had this thing for a long time, so there’s nothing wrong with celebrating it.

In the words of a school leader at Kyoto University.

"Xu is really amazing. His breakthrough speed is so fast that it is easy for the country to think that these things are not important enough. So I think we should do our best to make special arrangements for special things and apply for special people. We should strive for things that we should strive for, so that we don't end up with nothing. Academician Tian said that even Princeton and the State University of New York in the United States have invited him."

In order to publicize Xu Qingshan's great achievements, Peking University notified all media sources.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Qingshan will probably be in the news again.

After all, China has not seen such a young master for a long, long time.

Peking University has also begun to actively participate in the award processes for some awards that can be applied for immediately, submitting materials, using connections, and building personal connections. Peking University faction leaders in China's education and academic circles, represented by President Zhou, have been pushing Xu Qingshan for the top spot.

After all, Xu Qingshan is just a freshman, and he doesn't even have a graduate student position.

In many award selections, thresholds may be affected.

At the same time, the glory of the past six months and the top-level treatment offered by Peking University that can be seen with the naked eye have also attracted the envy of many people.

What these people are jealous of is not Xu Qingshan's achievements, but the resources that Peking University has invested in Xu Qingshan. Naturally, they do not believe that these results were achieved by Xu Qingshan alone, and evidence can be found from many angles.

For example, why did Tian Gang, an academician, insist on accepting Xu Qingshan as his student at the beginning of the school year and work so hard for Xu Qingshan?
The reason was that Mr. Qiu was going to return to China to set up a mathematics center at Huaqing, and Tian Gang wanted to prove that he was better than Mr. Qiu in education.

For example, why did Zong Chuanming, who had just won a national award, give his two doctoral students with the best overall performance and the most productive results to Xu Qingshan?

The reason was to help Xu Qingshan build a team.

This was a time when conspiracy theories and the art of thick black were all the rage, and many speculations and comments continued to emerge.

of course.

They probably don't understand the value of their academic work, let alone that achievements like Zhou's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture are currently the most advanced and leading ones in the entire Chinese mathematics community.

Otherwise, they would not have said that Peking University wanted to promote a myth to enhance its fame and international status, so it asked the old professors to focus their research on Xu Qingshan.

Not to mention old professors, even if there is a mathematician who is 99 this year and will die next year, as long as he can solve the twin prime conjecture, he will delay his death until the paper is published.

This thing has left its mark in the academic world.

Fortunately.

Arita Gang was maneuvering in the middle, and there was no weird person coming to interfere.

Xu Qingshan has been staying at Yan Dongyuan's home these days, organizing materials and doing his work. Not to mention attending classes, he didn't even dare to go to the Institute of Mathematics.

His popularity was too high at this time.

Even on campus, you might be surrounded by teachers and students from the mathematics department asking for autographs and photos.

After returning that day, he went to the Institute of Mathematics to visit the two students. Before he finished the task, his colleagues at the Institute of Mathematics heard the news and swarmed into his office and outside the corridor, lining up to congratulate him.

to be frank.

Xu Qingshan couldn't even match their names and people, because he had never met many of them.

Coincidentally, the intensive review and exam week at the end of the month is approaching.

Jiang Huanxi still had to go to class. Unlike Xu Qingshan, she had not communicated with the teachers for many courses in advance and finished the exams.

Mid-December.

Xu Qingshan was staying at home, lying on a lounge chair on the balcony, looking at the heavy snow outside the window.

"It's getting colder and colder."

Xu Qingshan stood up slightly, opened the window and felt the cold wind outside.

He hadn't left the bedroom since he got up, and he just had a quick breakfast. It was a cold day and the small kitchen was not warm enough, so he didn't even have the energy to eat.

"How about we wait until Xiaoxi finishes class and go to Donglaishun to eat the copper pot of mutton?"

Xu Qingshan muttered to himself. In this cold winter, a bite of crispy, high-calcium, cartilage-bone lamb roll, wouldn't it taste delicious?
As he thought about this, he felt a warmth growing in his body.

"Knock knock knock."

There was a knock on the door of the long-awaited visitor's room.

Xu Qingshan stopped stretching because of the warmth. He did not rush to open the door, but subconsciously looked at the clock.

It's only eleven o'clock. Jiang Huanxi shouldn't run back during class time. Could it be that he forgot to take something?
Or did the get out of class end early today?

Still wearing pajamas and wrapped in a blanket, Xu Qingshan had just sat back in the recliner when he raised his buttocks again and went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the wind outside rushed in through the gap.

Xu Qingshan wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, but was stunned when he saw someone coming outside the door.

"Hey, Lao Chen? Why are you here?"

I haven't seen Chen Dayue for many days.

"Hey, let me in first!"

Chen Dayue was shivering with cold.

He was wearing a lot of clothes, but he didn't wear earmuffs or a scarf, so his whole face was exposed. He covered it with the hood of his down jacket, but it couldn't block the wind that was blowing in everywhere.

"Come on, come on, I'll get you a cup of hot water."

Xu Qingshan let him in and closed the door again.

"Gululuha. Sihasha."

The heating started to work as soon as the door was closed, and after drinking a cup of hot water, Chen Dayue's face finally regained its color.

But I drank the hot water too quickly and burned my tongue, and even had to cover my throat.

"Slow down, the water is hot."

Xu Qingshan helplessly watched his mentor taking off his bulky clothes while covering his throat and breathing out with his tongue.

"Old Chen, do your other students know how miserable you are? I heard that you said in class recently that if you don't study hard, you will fail the exam with at least 50%?"

Xu Qingshan asked.

Although he seldom went to class, he was in the class group of the School of Mathematics. The teacher of the School of Mathematics specifically called on the class representatives of each class in the School of Mathematics to join. As a result, Xu Qingshan joined the group of all classes in the School of Mathematics.

"Sah. Yes, these little bastards, they gave up on all the midterm tests, and that's not even the difficulty level yet."

Chen Dayue rested for a while and his tongue felt better. Although his speech was still a little slurred, he was able to chat.

"Hey, that's not important. I came here today because I have something else to tell you."

"What's the matter? Why do you have to come to me in this heavy snow?"

Xu Qingshan had been in Beijing for half a year and had picked up some Beijing accent, but not much, and it was a Fujian accent.

"Xiao Xu, do you want a prize?"

"Another Wrangler?"

"Hey, it's not important, just tell me whether you want it or not!"

Chen Dayue waved his hand.

For people of Lao Deng’s age, Wrangler was his youth when he was young. Who wouldn’t want to give one to himself or his wife?
"Yes, what prize?"

Xu Qingshan agreed readily.

Why not take the free prize?
"The Huaxia Youth Science and Technology Award is the 16th this year. It will be held in two days, on the th."

Chen Dayue looked around Xu Qingshan's little house. He fell in love with Xu Qingshan's recliner at first sight and planned to get one for the living room when he got home.

"It's going to be held in two days, and you're asking me if I want to participate now?"

Xu Qingshan rolled his eyes at Chen Dayue.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing have been decided long ago?"

"Normally, that's the case. However, although the general form of your proof of the twin prime conjecture was very good, it was too late to follow the procedures at that time. If you make an exception, the level of this achievement will be a little off."

Chen Dayue touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Well, if you had said so earlier, it would have been easier to arrange. Dean Tian went to many places this time, and Principal Zhou and several old men also showed up. I heard that they all went to the deputy ministerial-level leaders above. It's better to handle things properly. You won the award for your major achievements, so you didn't offend anyone. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing."

Xu Qingshan was curious and asked.

"What does this have to do with offending people?"

Chen Dayue asked Xu Qingshan to pour him a glass of water before he spoke slowly.

"The Huaxia Youth Science and Technology Award is held every two years, and no more than 100 people are awarded each year. Normally, 100 people are assigned each year. This year, all units have already applied, and 100 people have been assigned. If you temporarily cut in line, you will have to be kicked out of the 100 people. No matter what unit it is, it is definitely not good to suddenly become enemies."

Chen Dayue held the water cup and said with a slightly arrogant expression.

"In fact, we at Kyoto University are not afraid of any unit, but the problem is that we are worried that if the other party makes a fuss, your program will be stuck and you will not be able to make it in time for the award ceremony."

"Later, Professor Zhang went to find several senior academicians to coordinate. The main reason is that your achievements are good enough and have a great international influence. After discussing it, it is easier to get a special commendation. Without competing with others, this class of 101 people will be more memorable."

"The higher-ups have no objections, other units have no objections, and we have even less objections."

Chen Dayue raised his eyebrows at Xu Qingshan.

"How is it, have you seen the strength of Kyoto University?"

Xu Qingshan smiled.

"Yes, I have seen it, but wasn't this decided a long time ago? If I say I don't want the award, won't everyone's efforts be in vain?"

Chen Dayue shook his head disapprovingly.

"How is it considered a waste? If you don't want it, it's your business. If we don't do it, it's our business. This is an attitude. Do you understand attitude?"

Although Chen Dayue was making funny faces, Xu Qingshan felt warm inside.

Peking University is making such a big fuss, just to make itself feel at ease?
It seems that the invitations from Princeton and New York State did make them feel a great sense of crisis.

"I have fought hard for this award, so of course I have to accept it. But when can I receive it?"

Xu Qingshan asked curiously.

Chen Dayue shook his head.

"You took the special channel. The preliminary review, re-review, and final review have all been completed. Next, the public announcement will begin on the 16th. There will be ten days from the 16th to the 25th. When the public announcement period ends, it will probably be two weeks before the commendation meeting is held. If there are no major problems, it should be at the fifth meeting of the seventh national committee of the China Association for Science and Technology scheduled for January 1th. You will be notified then. Try not to run around, in case someone from above wants to see you recently."

Xu Qingshan nodded, feeling a little excited.

Does this count as directly registering there?
