The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 243, Chain Moves
Life is like a piece of tofu. No matter how rotten it is, it is just a piece of tofu dregs.

Wang Duoyu encountered trouble again when deriving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations.

Because it is not something that can be accomplished by theoretical deduction alone, and the progress of the Mach 5 fighter project is not fast, and the data obtained by other fields such as the National Meteorological Administration is also not much, which makes it impossible for Wang Duoyu to make further speculations.

For example, when it comes to the question of whether the so-called Navier-Stokes equations will explode, Wang Duoyu knows that it is impossible.

Because according to the research results of energy gradient theory, the Navier-Stokes equations will not explode.

However, Wang Duoyu has not yet obtained the relevant proof results by deducing whether the kinetic energy will be infinite based on the proof of inequality in functional space.

Perhaps it will be possible to deduce it only with the quantum supercomputers of the future. Anyway, with the speed of Wang Duoyu's brain, it is still difficult to calculate whether its kinetic energy is infinite.

He deduced that the Navier-Stokes equations would not explode based on the following four reasons.

First, there is no infinite acceleration force in the Navier-Stokes equations.

Wang Duoyu has read previous papers on the Navier-Stokes equations by scientists in mathematics, physics and other fields. Some people believe that turbulence is caused by vortex stretching, based on the fact that vortex stretching leads to an increase in vorticity or pseudo-vortex energy.

Some people also believe that local stretching of the vortex tube can achieve infinite acceleration of the fluid, but in fact, local stretching cannot produce such an acceleration force, and the force generated by stretching is limited.

Moreover, the greatest vortex stretching is in the span direction, and it cannot be in the flow direction. Wang Duoyu has seen relevant data in relevant fluid experiments such as the Mach 5 fighter project and weather forecasting.

At the same time, in the fluid simulation experiment, the fracture of the hairpin vortex head belongs to this situation: the speed generated by the stretching is very small.

On the other hand, theoretical analysis and numerical calculations of the Navier-Stokes equations have not found that stretching leads to infinite acceleration.

Second, turbulence suppressed the explosion.

Because many mathematicians are studying the explosion problem of the Euler equation, they believe that if the Euler equation explodes, then the Navier-Stokes equation may also explode.

There are related papers in many top journals in the United States, such as the "Annals of Mathematics", which Wang Duoyu has already read: treating the Euler equations (i.e., inviscid flow) as the limiting case of the Navier-Stokes equations (i.e., viscous flow).

This is actually wrong. The Euler equation is not and absolutely not the limit of the Navier-Stokes equation. There is an essential difference here.

As we all know, for given boundary conditions, there are several solutions to the Euler equation, not unique ones.

The Navier-Stokes equations have a unique solution.

Therefore, in this case, the solutions of n Euler equations should correspond to n solutions of Navier-Stokes equations, but there is only one solution to Navier-Stokes equations.

Wang Duoyu believes that the Navier-Stokes equations and the Euler equations are two completely different types of equations.

For the Navier-Stokes equations, it is not as simple as having an additional viscosity term compared to the Euler equations. It is the interaction between the viscosity term and the convection term under the action of disturbance that leads to the occurrence of discontinuous singularities. Without the viscosity term, such singularities cannot appear, turbulence cannot appear, and the Richardson-Kolmogorov energy level string phenomenon will not occur.

Because of the appearance of such discontinuous singularities, turbulence is caused, which suppresses the occurrence of explosions.

To give a very simple example, the fishing nets used by fishermen rely on heavy lead objects (called sinkers) sewn firmly around the bottom of the nets to sink into the water, preventing the nets from floating up.

The velocity distribution in turbulence is like a big net covered with a number of firmly tied lead blocks (singularities). The lead blocks sink to the bottom of the water, so that the net will not float up, let alone soar into the sky.

There are always those singularities close to zero pulling down, limiting the increase of local instantaneous velocity.

Third, the explosion violates the conservation of energy, which is implied by the Navier-Stokes equations.

The reason why it does not explode is actually because the Navier-Stokes equations imply a basic principle: the energy gradient principle.

That is, when a fluid particle at a certain local position suddenly accelerates, the resistance it encounters will increase at the rate of the square of the velocity, which will immediately slow down the particle speed. The Navier-Stokes equations have the function of self-regulating speed.

In fact, it is the conservation of energy implied by the Navier-Stokes equations that is at work.

In fact, everyone can imagine that if the resistance encountered by a fluid particle at a certain local position suddenly decreases and approaches zero due to disturbance or some other reason, and there is no resistance, will the fluid particle accelerate immediately?

The fact is just the opposite. When the particle has no resistance, its motion stops immediately and its speed becomes zero immediately.

The laws of these phenomena are conclusions drawn from the predictions of energy gradient theory. Wang Duoyu has previously verified them based on the numerical calculation results of transition flow and turbulence based on the Navier-Stokes equations, and there are no counterexamples.

Fourth, direct numerical simulation of turbulence has not encountered any explosion.

Since the establishment of computational fluid dynamics-related software companies such as CHAM and Fluid Analysis Upwelling Software Package, and then to Azure's overseas expansion, all the experiments on direct numerical simulation of turbulence have shown no signs or phenomena of explosion in all research results.

how to say?

Ever since the day Charles Feefman came to discuss the Navier-Stokes equations with Wang Duoyu, he has been studying this topic for more than a week.

Although there was no result, writing such a paper is better than nothing.

At this time, Harbin Institute of Technology had already finished its final exams, but the school did not become deserted. Instead, it was relatively more lively.

But all this excitement had little to do with Wang Duoyu until January 21st, when Su Zhenghuai reminded him that the year-end summary meeting had begun.

"Oh, is it starting now?"

Wang Duoyu suddenly realized that Su Zhenghuai had informed him a few days ago, but he did not take it seriously at that time.

Since it is the year-end summary meeting, Wang Duoyu still needs to attend to find out how Harbin Institute of Technology performed in the past 1983.

This year is different from last year, there are a few more people in the conference room.

When everyone arrived, the meeting finally began.

Jin Lirong is the host, and this has not changed. He was the host of the summary conferences in 1981 and 1982, and he was also the host of the summary conference in 1983 this year.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since Jin Lirong became the office director. Time flies so fast.

Everyone was very excited and wanted to know how much money Harbin Institute of Technology had made in the past year.

So after Jin Lirong finished speaking, the first person to report and summarize the work was Liu Qigang.

As the head of Huayun's US branch, Liu Qigang summarized Azure's performance in the United States over the past year. Compared with last year's revenue of US$71 million, this year's revenue has exceeded US$100 million.

It reached 108 billion US dollars.

How to say it, it’s neither good nor bad, it’s steadily rising.

Everyone was neither very disappointed nor very excited about this.

Next is Han Qianjin, the head of Azure in Europe. He did not come back last year but continued to work hard in Europe.

So the European branch made a lot of money this year, with total sales of US$79.3 million, a full US$56.6 million more than last year's US$22.7 million.

This means there are 566 partners behind it. From this data growth, we can also see that Fluent software is very popular in Europe.

After that, it was the performance report for Asia, which was reported by Wu Zhiming, the domestic head of Huayun Company.

The Asian revenue data, including Japan and Southeast Asia, is US$24.9 million, which has not increased much compared with last year.

The domestic revenue is RMB 12 million, which is an increase of more than RMB 3 million compared with last year, which is better than nothing.

Therefore, to sum up, Huayun Company's total annual performance in the past 1983 was US$212 million and RMB 12 million.

After the report, the entire conference room burst into applause. Although this company did not make much money, it was very stable and its role was very powerful, so everyone applauded very hard.

Next, Ou Wenhui, the head of Huaxing Chip Company, came to report on his work. Well, there was nothing much to say. Compared with last year's revenue of 23 million RMB, this year it became 31 million RMB, a little more, but not much.

This is because most of the chips are absorbed by Harbin Institute of Technology, especially the Nebula supercomputer, which is simply a big money-maker in the chip industry.

Therefore, the chips produced by Huaxing Chip cannot be sold at all, so there is naturally not much in the revenue data.

The person who then reported the work was Huang Mingtai, the head of the Guanghui lithography machine factory.

"Dear Secretary Liu, President Lu, Professor Wang, and all colleagues, good afternoon. Our Guanghui lithography machine factory has received orders for a total of 37 lithography machines this year."

The immersion lithography machine was developed by the technical team of Li Kangmin, Yao Wenrong, and Xue Yuheng in June last year. After several months of production and debugging, the Guanghui lithography machine factory was able to carry out production smoothly.

However, although the Guanghui lithography machine factory received orders for 37 immersion lithography machines, only five of these products were delivered, and all of them were domestic orders.

Because twenty of the orders are domestic and seventeen are foreign.

The price of immersion lithography machines is RMB 3 million in China and US$2.5 million abroad.

In other words, at present, only 15 million RMB has been earned.

Although the revenue data of the Guanghui lithography machine factory was very "dismal", everyone still gave Huang Mingtai a very warm applause after he finished his report.

After all, everyone knows one thing: immersion lithography machines are already at the forefront of the world and will continue to be the most profitable lithography machines in the world.

A few years ago, Harbin Institute of Technology wanted to purchase a stepper lithography machine from Fairchild Semiconductor. The selling price was US$450,000, but they had to increase the price to US$1 million and purchased a second-hand lithography machine.

Now the situation has been reversed, and the Guanghui lithography machine factory of Harbin Institute of Technology has begun to reversely export lithography machines.

Of course, whether Guanghui can continue to output lithography machines and become the world's most technologically advanced lithography machine factory depends on whether the technical team including Li Kangmin and Yao Wenrong can maintain their leading edge.

However, as technology enters the 40-nanometer level, the technical difficulty will increase exponentially, and the R&D time will also increase exponentially.

Therefore, it is really uncertain whether we can continue to maintain our leading position.

However, Wang Duoyu will definitely not sit idly by. As long as he has time, he will continue to follow up.

After the applause, the next person to report on his work was Zhang Jichuan, the head of Diao Pai Company.

In 1983, Diao Pai Company launched a product with more advanced technology, a lead-acid battery, and an electric bicycle with more complete technology and more fashionable design. Therefore, its performance has increased significantly compared with 1982.

It exceeded one billion US dollars for the first time, reaching 1.19 billion US dollars.

But in Wang Duoyu's opinion, Diao Pai Company can still release some of its technology, but Qianyuan Laboratory is keeping it very tight and has not agreed.

Harbin Institute of Technology is cooperating with Qianyuan Laboratory, a subsidiary of Chengfei Manufacturing Plant, on a drone project.

The drone project requires more powerful battery technology products. Diao Pai Company has already completed some technologies of lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries, but there is still room for further exploration. It can only be said that they are slightly better than the current lead-acid batteries, but not much better.

If lithium-ion batteries can be released, the growth rate of Diao Pai's performance will definitely be very fast.

Pity!
"Finally, a company with a market capitalization of over one billion US dollars has appeared. Let's celebrate with applause."

Jin Lirong's face was full of smiles, but it had so many wrinkles that his eyes were almost invisible.

After Zhang Jichuan finished the introduction, we finally arrived at Huaxin Company.

First of all, regarding the cordless telephone business, after February 1983, cordless telephones had established a cooperative relationship with three US telecommunications operators: an activity where you could give away a cordless telephone when you top up your phone bill.

This marketing campaign was undoubtedly very successful, because before February 11, Huaxin Company's monthly sales were only more than 2,800 units, but after that, it directly achieved sales of 280,000 units.

For every cordless phone sold, Huaxin would receive $799.

From February 11, 1983, to December 31, 1983, Huaxin Company sold a total of 6.02 million cordless telephones.

In other words, this part of the revenue data is 480 million US dollars.

Of course, the revenue data before February 11 was not much, adding up to only 20 million US dollars, so the total revenue data for cordless phones for the whole year was 500 million US dollars.

As Chen Baoxi finished reporting on the performance of the cordless telephone, everyone began to applaud.

Last year, Chen Baoxi was only the project manager for cordless telephones. This year, he has been promoted to be the head of the entire Huaxin Company. Of course, he is not in charge of the overseas part.

In addition to cordless telephones, the PHS mobile phone is currently only cooperating in the layout of the base station equipment. This part is difficult to count at present, and will be directly incorporated into the performance of 1984. Therefore, Huaxin Company's performance in 1983 was 500 million US dollars.

Other companies all give both decimal and integer numbers, but Huaxin Company directly gives an integer number, which is really amazing.

Compared with last year's 345 million US dollars, this year's revenue of 500 million US dollars is also very good.

After Chen Baoxi finished his report and the applause died down, it was Huashun Company's turn next.

As the head of Huashun Company, Niu Ruishan's summary was very brief:
"Our Huashun company's business is simple. We currently offer only five products: optical disc storage, optical disc storage version 213, HS215, HS218, and HS. Our total revenue figures are similar to those of Diao Pai, exceeding US$ billion, though slightly higher, totaling US$ billion."

Compared with last year, in 899, Huashun Company launched the second edition of optical disc storage with a capacity of 1MB and the HS218 hard disk storage with a capacity of GB.

With the addition of two products, Huashun Company's performance soared rapidly.

It holds 1GB of hard disk storage, directly targeting IBM's 3380. Therefore, Huashun is completely targeting the Achilles' heel of IBM's storage business segment.

This is because Huashun Company did not come up with the GT316 solid-state drive, otherwise, the performance would be even more explosive.

Of course, if the GT316 solid-state drive is really released, it will definitely have an impact on the sales of HS218 and the second edition optical disk storage.

Quack! Quack!
The entire conference room was filled with thunderous applause, because it was indeed profitable and was currently the most profitable company.

After the applause, the next person to report on his work was Song Xinwen from the Nebula supercomputing project.

In fact, Song Xinwen was not very willing to do this kind of work. He preferred to stay in the laboratory.

Originally, he wanted to give this part of the work to Pang Dianchen, but the latter was not happy about it. At the same time, he also wanted to give this part of the work to Professor Ci Yungui.

Needless to say, Professor Ci Yungui was even more unwilling, not only because he was a technician, but also because he was new to the company. How could he possibly accept such a work arrangement?
He was obviously here to receive recognition, and Ci Yungui had never made any contribution to the Nebula supercomputer before, so of course he would not be so shameless as to do such a thing.

"In December, our Nebula Supercomputer received orders for five supercomputers from three American institutions, with a total revenue of $29.95 million. We have already received $15 million in deposits."

After hearing Song Xinwen's report, Liu Deben couldn't help but interrupt and ask:
"Team Leader Song, how many Nebula supercomputers can you sell this year? Do you have a specific marketing plan?"

The unit price of the Nebula supercomputer is very high, at US$5.99 million per unit, which is much higher than the unit price of an immersion lithography machine at US$2.5 million per unit.

It can be said that the Nebula supercomputer is the most expensive product sold by Harbin Institute of Technology at present, without a doubt.

This kind of product can quickly make a profit without selling many units.

In response to this question, Song Xinwen looked directly at Wang Duoyu, because his prediction of the market was not very accurate.

The latter was writing something with his head down, and suddenly the conference room became quiet. He looked up in confusion.

At this time, Liu Deben had to ask again, and Wang Duoyu finally spoke:

"That's hard to say, because supercomputers are very expensive products. Only universities, research institutes, laboratories and other institutions need such products, so it's not something that can be solved by marketing strategies." "Of course, with the technological leadership of Nebula Supercomputer, after the Spring Festival, after we deliver the five supercomputers to the three institutions including Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and after our Azure company assembles the Nebula Supercomputer, then orders will definitely pour in."

Wang Duoyu is very confident about this.

In today's era, we are still in the era of supercomputers with exaflops, and the prices are extremely expensive, reaching tens of millions of US dollars, which is daunting.

The Nebula supercomputer not only has super performance, but also has a floating-point computing speed of 3 billion times per second, and its price is only US$5.99 million, which is a direct price cut in half.

For most scientific research institutions, the price of 5.99 million US dollars is really a great deal.

clap clap clap!
When Wang Duoyu heard what he said, the entire conference room was suddenly filled with exaggerated applause.

Lu Gongliang and others have even seen a large number of orders coming in, and they are counting money until their hands cramp.

I believe you won’t have to wait too long.

After the Nebula Supercomputing report, the only company left is Dolphin Games, which is the highlight and the focus of everyone's attention.

You should know that in 1982, Dolphin Games' annual revenue almost exceeded 5 billion US dollars.

As the head of Dolphin Gaming Company, Yin Wenjie couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw everyone's gazes, but when he saw the data in his hand, he straightened his back again.

Compared to 1982, the handheld game console business has not declined, but has grown.

Because Nintendo also launched a similar product, they even imitated Motorola's pre-order strategy, but ended up failing.

In mid-March last year, the handheld game console launched its second version with updated technology. The product had a larger screen, higher resolution and larger memory capacity. Once it was launched on the market, it immediately exploded the market.

At the same time, because the second version of the product was released, the original initial version of the handheld game console was sold at a reduced price.

Therefore, throughout the year, the revenue of handheld game consoles increased from US$4.439 billion last year to US$5.723 billion this year.

"In addition to the handheld game console business, we also launched the Tamagotchi product in April of this year. Although the unit price of the Tamagotchi product is only US$2.99 ​​billion, we have sold 13 million Tamagotchis in the Japanese market alone throughout the year."

When people in the conference room heard Yin Wenjie's words, they suddenly gasped. Even Wang Duoyu stopped writing and looked up in surprise.

He could do two things at once, but the revenue data of Dolphin Games Company was indeed quite surprising, so he couldn't help but look up at Yin Wenjie.

In addition to the 13 million pet eggs sold in the Japanese market, more than 8 million were sold in the United States, and 10.35 million were sold in Europe.

As well as in Asian markets such as Singapore, Taipei, Hong Kong, and South Korea, there are also four million pieces scattered around.

In total, 35.87 million pet eggs were sold last year.

So the revenue data for this part is US$1.72 billion.

However, in addition to these two business segments, Dolphin Games also has a game cartridge business, and the revenue from this segment has also increased slightly from more than 500 million last year, reaching 730 million US dollars.

Adding up the three businesses, Dolphin Games' revenue for the entire 1983 was US$7.525 billion.

It's simply a ruthless money-making machine.

There should be applause here, and this time the applause lasted much longer than the previous ones.

You know, the total revenue for the whole year of 1982 was only a little over 7.3 billion U.S. dollars, but now in 1983, the annual revenue of Dolphin Games alone exceeded this figure, reaching a terrifying 7.525 billion U.S. dollars.

too frightening.

However, although Dolphin Games' annual revenue seems impressive, it is still very weak compared with those world-famous giants.

For example, after Apple went public in 1980, its market value was already 1.8 billion US dollars, making it a shining star in the technology industry at the time.

IBM is currently ranked among the top three companies in the world by market capitalization and is a well-deserved giant, with annual revenue figures in the hundreds of billions of US dollars.

At the same time, there are many companies in Japan whose revenue has exceeded 10 billion US dollars for many years, because during this period, Japan's GDP ranked second in the world and it was the second largest economy in the world.

So, although the revenue data of Dolphin Games seems to be off the charts, it is actually just that.

After the applause, Wang Duoyu did a simple mental calculation and was surprised to find that in 1983, the total revenue from export products of many enterprises under the Harbin Institute of Technology reached 11.035 billion US dollars.

The total revenue of all products in this domestic segment has not yet exceeded 100 million yuan, so Wang Duoyu ignored it.

Of course, this is also closely related to the fact that companies affiliated with Harbin Institute of Technology are all focusing on overseas markets, and the current domestic market does not have much purchasing power for these high-tech products.

For example, batteries, electric bicycles, pet eggs and handheld game consoles, Nebula supercomputers and other products, each of these products is indeed not easy to sell in China.

Everyone has little money in their pockets, so naturally they can't spend much money on these products.

Wang Duoyu didn't listen much to the subsequent meetings.

Until the end of the meeting, Wang Duoyu stood up and left, and Liu Deben and others did not call him, so this year's year-end meeting ended like this.

After the meeting, Wang Duoyu went straight home.

At this time, there are actually not many days left until the Chinese New Year.

"Brother Jiu, are we really not going back to our hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival this year?"

In the villa, Wang Meili saw her ninth brother coming back and couldn't help asking.

Wang Duoyu pointed at Liu Xiaoli and said:

"Isn't your sister Xiaoli in confinement after giving birth? Do you think it's a good time for us to go back home?"

It would definitely not be appropriate to go back to my hometown without Liu Xiaoli, but if I take her back to my hometown, that wouldn't work either. After all, she is still in confinement and it's not appropriate for her to go out casually.

Seeing this, Wang Meili felt helpless and didn't know who to blame.

When Liu Xiaoli was about to ask Wang Duoyu if he could go back to her parents' home for the holidays, the pager cell phone in his pocket rang.

The Xiaolingtong mobile phones were delivered by Han Jue himself a few days ago. Almost all the leadership of Harbin Institute of Technology, including the deans of various departments and projects leaders, have purchased a Xiaolingtong mobile phone.

Everyone has money and has enough money to buy a PHS phone.

Although it was a mobile phone produced by Harbin Institute of Technology itself, everyone spent money to buy it. After all, the domestic price was not expensive, only 1,599 yuan.

Of course, this price is not expensive compared with cordless phones, but compared with the Motorola 1995X, which is currently priced at US$8000 on the market, the price of the Xiaolingtong phone is very cheap.

The price of RMB 1599 was indeed not worth mentioning to Wang Duoyu, so he placed an order for units with Huaxin Company. After purchasing them, he would use them as rewards to Wang Jianchao, Zheng Baoyin, Wen Shixuan and others, and he would also give some to his hometown.

As for his students and people like Shing-Tung Yau, Wang Duoyu didn't need to worry about them. They had made reservations early on and also reserved some for their relatives and friends.

This is the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first. They are the first to know about any new products developed by Harbin Institute of Technology and can also enjoy them first.

In the Bingcheng area, Huaxin Company has established a cooperative relationship with Bingcheng Mobile Communications Company and has deployed base stations throughout Bingcheng. Bingcheng Mobile Communications Company is actually also a subsidiary of Harbin Institute of Technology.

However, Bingcheng Mobile Communications Company has only laid base stations in Bingcheng and has not yet radiated to surrounding areas. It will have to wait until after the Spring Festival to lay them.

A base station has already been set up on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, so it can be put into operation soon after debugging.

Today, Huaxin Company has already been working at full capacity, devoting all its efforts to producing a large number of base station equipment and PHS, creating conditions for the listing of PHS after the Spring Festival.

At present, the country has only identified the Ice City and its surrounding areas, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanjing. The plan has not yet been launched in other areas. After all, production is limited and priority needs to be given to supplying foreign markets, so the country can only proceed step by step and take it slow.

The person who called Wang Duoyu at this time was Andrew Wiles.

"Ok?"

After seeing Wiles' name, Wang Duoyu had a question mark in his mind?
what's the situation?
"Excuse me, Professor Wang? Okay, Professor Wang, I'd like to talk to you. Is it convenient for you now? I'm standing at the door of your office."

"That's convenient. Why don't you come to my house? It's almost lunchtime. How about you come over for dinner?"

Almost in an instant, Wang Duoyu roughly figured out the other party's purpose, so he took the initiative to invite him.

Wiles did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

Twenty minutes later, Andrew Wiles arrived at Wang Duoyu's house. He actually walked there. If he had ridden a bicycle or an electric bike, he would definitely not have been so slow.

After arriving at the place, Wiles took out his gift, it seemed that he had prepared it in advance.

He prepared a gift for the two brothers Wang Junhong and Wang Junan, especially the little guy Wang Junan. Since he was just born, Wiles directly gave him a big red envelope.

"You're here, and you're bringing me red envelopes, old hens, and even ginseng. You're really too polite."

Wang Duoyu only took a glance and saw what gifts Wiles brought.

After a few pleasantries, Wang Duoyu asked the other party to sit down and eat, and he also took out a bottle of wine.

One thing that Lu Yangui did well this time was that he really got him some very good wine.

Although there is only one box of this magical wine, it will be gone once it is drunk.

Most people who have tasted this wine have given it very high praise.

For example, Zheng Baoyin last time was trying to flatter his uncle and wanted to take a few bottles away, but was rejected.

Who made Wang Duoyu only have one box?

On weekdays, although Wang Duoyu does not have many opportunities to entertain guests, he rarely engages in such meaningless social activities.

But that doesn't mean he has no social activities at all, so he still has to have wine to entertain guests.

Most of Wang Duoyu's friends do not smoke, so Wang Duoyu's family tries to entertain guests with wine and food as much as possible.

Not only Zheng Baoyin, Liu Deben had also tasted this kind of wine in the capital with Wang Duoyu before, but he only had one bottle.

After learning that Wang Duoyu had a box, he wanted to come over and ask for a bottle, but of course he was rejected by Wang Duoyu.

Although the wine is good, there are only six bottles in a box, which is not enough for Wang Duoyu to drink.

In fact, at this time, Wang Duoyu really hopes that he can find such wine again next time.

At the same time, Wang Duoyu also spent some money and ordered ten jars of wine directly from Wuliangye Distillery and Maotai Distillery. After they were shipped back, he buried them directly in the wine cellar in the basement of his hometown.

Well, we should also bury some in Beijing and Harbin Institute of Technology. After five or ten years, he can take it out and drink it.

"Come on, let's eat and drink first, and then we can talk later if we have anything to say."

Wiles was a little confused by Wang Duoyu's series of tricks.

However, after he took a sip of wine, his eyes suddenly brightened up, "Professor Wang, then I won't be polite."

It must be said that the wine Wang Duoyu prepared today is indeed very much to Wiles' taste.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Andrew Wiles finally spoke:
"Professor Wang, after the Spring Festival, I will resign from my position as editor-in-chief of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal. I want to join the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study and start preparing for the 1986 Fields Medal."

He was persuaded by Wang Duoyu to become the editor-in-chief in March 1982.

At that time, he requested that he would only hold this position for two years, and no more than three years at most.

Now, there are less than two months left before the two-year term expires, so he needs to tell Wang Duoyu in advance, so that Wang Duoyu won't go back to his hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. If he brings up this matter after the Spring Festival, wouldn't that just delay it?
That's why he discussed this matter with Wang Duoyu in advance.

The reason why he was so anxious was naturally because the competition for the 1986 Fields Medal would also be very fierce.

As we all know, there are only four places for the Fields Medal.

Wang Duoyu might be able to reserve a spot, because there is almost no need to ask, after all, he was only 30 years old in 1986, and he had already published papers such as the geometric Langlands conjecture, the restricted Burnside conjecture and the honeycomb conjecture.

Each of these three mathematical conjectures is extremely impressive, and all of them were published after April 1982.

In the next two years, 1984 and 1985, it was impossible for Wang Duoyu not to publish a single paper.

Therefore, as for the Fields Medal in 1986, even if he did not attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, he would have a very high chance of winning a medal.

In addition, there is Alain Connes, who did not win the Fields Medal last July.

This gentleman came to Bingcheng in September last year and successfully joined the Bingcheng Institute for Advanced Studies. It is said that he is now deeply exploring non-intersection geometry.

Alain Connes's greatest expertise before was von Neumann algebra, that is, the operator algebra level, to which he made great contributions. In addition, he also made great contributions to non-intersection geometry.

His work on non-intersection geometry has had an important impact on mathematical theory and mathematical physics.

If he continues to dig deeper in the next one or two years, he will most likely win the 1986 Fields Medal.

He had to fight a desperate battle because he would be 39 years old in 1986. If he wanted to win the Fields Medal in his lifetime, this would be his only chance.

So there are no more two places left for the Fields Medal. It will be extremely difficult for Andrew Wiles to compete with Wang Duoyu and Alain Connes.

What should I do?
What else can I do?
Come on!
In addition, Wiles was most worried about two of Wang Duoyu's students, Bochers and Yorks. Both of them have made great contributions to mathematics and are also strong contenders for the 1986 Fields Medal.

Under such circumstances, Wiles had no choice but to resign from his position as editor-in-chief and devote himself to scientific research.

Wang Duoyu heard this and said thoughtfully:

"Why don't you think about it again?"

Without waiting for Wiles to speak, Wang Duoyu continued:

"I know you've been busy with scientific research lately, but you're still young, there's no need to rush."

"We've discussed this many times before, but the topics you choose each time are always beyond your imagination."

"Whether it's the Riemann hypothesis or the Hodge conjecture, these aren't topics you can tackle at this stage."

"But to be honest, I think you are very talented in number theory. If you don't mind, I can give you a suggestion."

Giving advice to others is not a good thing. Wiles is also a very proud person. Is he willing to accept Wang Duoyu's advice?
