Liu Maosheng complained and complained, and after complaining, the topic turned to Chen Zhou.

This is actually the first time they have participated in the award ceremony.

Of course, this award is the number one mathematics prize in the middle of the list, not the award of a mathematics competition.

If you really want to talk about the awards of mathematics competitions, they have won a lot of awards.

They wanted to ask Chen Zhou what it was like to win his first mathematics prize.

In the room, Chen Zhou sighed slightly, and said: "Actually, before I came to MIT, I got this news from reporter Yao of Yenching Daily, but it has not been confirmed yet. ”

"Later, Professor Atin told me again, and Professor Francis and Professor Zhang Yitang also sent emails to tell me in advance. ”

"So, when the Cole Number Theory Award committee, that is, AMS, announced the news of my award, I was not so excited......

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu looked at each other.

Is this the journey of this math boss winning awards?

Did so many people tell you in advance?

Why is this flat voice, when I hear it, my ears are full of lemon smell?

Looking at Liu Maosheng and the two, Chen Zhou said with a smile: "But, although I have been spoiled, I have always been overdrawn with a sense of expectation, but after all, the medals and bonuses have not been received, so ......"

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu looked at Chen Zhou: "So what? Actually, I'm still quite excited, isn't it?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "So, I'm looking forward to how much this bonus is, I haven't found out ......"

Liu Maosheng: "......"

Zeng Zigu: "......"

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu didn't expect that what Chen Zhou cared about the most would be the bonus.

It's not that you don't have to worry about the bonus.

It's just that as a mathematician with ideals.

Shouldn't it be more important to care about the honor of mathematics?

Shouldn't it be under the witness of countless mathematicians to win their own mathematical crown?

Forget it, don't try to understand the big guy's thinking.

Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu immediately pulled Chen Zhou, planning to go to see the headquarters of AMS.

Chen Zhou naturally had no opinion, he also wanted to see if any acquaintances would come here.

Since he came to the United States, he has been to SLAC except once with Professor Friedman.

The rest of the time, all of them were in their dorms at MIT.

The math professors he knew had never had an emotional relationship with any of them.

At the headquarters of AMS, the road signs and other items prepared for this academic conference have been put in place.

Just waiting for the official start of the meeting tomorrow.

AMS has been preparing for this event, which can be said to be the last academic exchange meeting at the end of 2016.

At the entrance of the AMS headquarters, after Chen Zhou showed the invitation letter, a staff member received Chen Zhou and the three of them.

Under the leadership of this staff member, Chen Zhou and the three of them visited the headquarters of AMS and the venue of the upcoming academic exchange meeting tomorrow.

Although this academic conference was held at the headquarters of AMS.

But after all, this is the headquarters of AMS, and many places are still restricted.

That's why it's staff-led.

"Huh, isn't that a big brother?"

Hearing Liu Maosheng's voice, Chen Zhou looked in the direction he was looking.

Sure enough, I saw an acquaintance.

This person known as the senior brother is Xu Chenyang, who went to MIT with Chen Zhou last time to attend an academic conference, and is known as the senior brother of the "Three Musketeers of Yan University".

Xu Chenyang also heard Liu Maosheng's voice, and he glanced over here.

When he saw Chen Zhou, he immediately walked over with a smile.

Chen Zhou took the lead in greeting, "Hello, Professor Xu." ”

Xu Chenyang said with a smile: "Congratulations, the highest award in the number theory world has finally been won by you." ”

Chen Zhou smiled: "Thank you." ”

After a pause, Chen Zhou asked again, "Why didn't you see Dean Sun and them?"

Xu Chenyang explained: "Dean Sun has a meeting to hold and can't leave for the time being, so he arranged for a few of us to come over to participate in this academic exchange meeting. ”

"Oh, that's it......," Chen Zhou responded.

"Well, but everyone else is still in the hotel, so I'm just idle, so I'll walk around. Xu Chenyang said casually.

Hearing this, Chen Zhou glanced at this "senior brother" more.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhou said, "Then let's go together, shall we?"

Xu Chenyang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Looking at the two Yan geniuses, Liu Maosheng and Zeng Zigu, they couldn't say a word at all.

In other words, the two of them themselves don't know whether to answer or not.

Instead of deliberately joining in the fun, it is better to watch it honestly.

Although the idea of them coming here is to get on the line with some math bigwigs, and get acquainted with each other.

But when they really saw Xu Chenyang, a genius mathematician who also came out of Yan University, they were a little timid again.

"Chen Zhou, in fact, last year, when you proved the Kramel conjecture, we were speculating whether this award would be awarded to you. After all, with the Hail Conjecture and the Clamel Conjecture, you fully deserve this award. Xu Chenyang and Chen Zhou walked side by side.

When Chen Zhou heard this, he said with a smile: "Didn't you expect that I would solve the Jebov conjecture later?"

Xu Chenyang nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not that I didn't expect you to solve the Jebov conjecture, after all, when you proved the Kramel conjecture at the end and left four lines of formula, we had already guessed the result." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect you to solve it so quickly, and by the way, because of your perfect distribution deconstruction method, Professor Zhang Yitang and Professor Tao Zhexuan solved the twin prime conjecture. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't expect it myself, it was just luck, inspiration came, and then I caught it." ”

When Xu Chenyang heard this, he looked at Chen Zhou helplessly and said: "What you said is light, there is no strength as a foundation, no matter how much inspiration comes, it is impossible to grasp it." ”

"When I think that the solution of the two conjectures of the prime interval problem has something to do with you, I don't know what to say. In short, I'm still very envious......"

Chen Zhou replied: "Senior brother, don't talk about me, you won the Ramanujan Award in June this year, and you are still selected for the Science and Technology Innovation Leading Talent Program this year......

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Xu Chenyang smiled, but still complained: "Are you embarrassed to mention the national 'Ten Thousand Talents Program'? Do you know that the mathematics funding you applied for is much higher than mine?"

Xu Chenyang said this, paused, and then continued: "It's just that you solved the Jebov conjecture so quickly that a large number of mathematicians in our country don't know what to do......

Chen Zhou asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
