Chapter 1210: Unbearable
In fact, Gong Jinchen is usually very cautious in his speech, and he will not easily confide in his intentions, but today because he has just become the head of the mathematics department, and he has just had a few more drinks, he is already a little carried away.
"Yes, yes, yes, you have to hit a snake with seven inches!" Professor Guo smiled when he heard this, then picked up his wine glass again, and said: "Everyone picked up their wine glasses and toasted for our 'anti-counterfeiting experts' of Beijing University!"
As soon as Professor Guo's words fell, everyone in the private room suddenly stood up in unison, raised their wine glasses and touched them together, and drank them all.
“…… According to the latest news received by this station, a reporter from London, England, today reported that this year's World Congress of Mathematicians opened on time at half past eight in the morning British time......"
Just as everyone was putting down their glasses, the news broadcast on the LCD TV on the wall suddenly showed the picture of Queen's University in London, and then the host began to report the news of the World Congress of Mathematicians.
This news was obviously released by CCTV at the London workstation before, because the time difference between the two places is seven hours, so Duan Yun was interviewed at noon before, so when the film crew members edited the news and sent it to China, it was just in time for the seven o'clock news file in Huaxia.
“…… In this World Congress of Mathematicians, Duan Yun, the only invited young mathematician in China, won the Fields Medal, the highest award of this mathematical conference, and Queen Elizabeth II personally presented him with a medal......"
Standing up to this news, everyone in the private room was stunned for a moment.
Although they had long known that Duan Yun had a good chance of winning the Fields Medal with that Hodge conjecture paper, when they really heard the news from the news, they all had mixed expressions on their faces.
No matter what kind of criticism Duan Yun has in China, he still succeeds after all, because no one in the history of Chinese scholars has ever been able to touch the world's top awards such as the Fields Medal, so with this award, Duan Yun will become the first person to break through history without suspense, and he is also the hottest top mathematician in the Chinese mathematics community.
For a while, including Gong Jinchen, there was some indescribable jealousy and redness in his heart, after all, the academic circle is a river and lake, and seeing that a little-known hairy boy became the 'martial arts alliance leader' of this river and lake overnight, these 'old rivers and lakes' were naturally very unconvinced, but they were helpless!
"Isn't it just relying on the paper that his master helped him write to get to the top of the position?" Professor Guo reacted quickly, and after snorting coldly, he had to find the remote control to turn off the TV.
“…… Duan Yun's two papers have attracted great attention at the World Congress of Mathematicians, and he has successfully published two high-level papers in the world's top mathematical journals in less than half a year......"
The news host was still smiling and broadcasting the news about Duan Yun, and when they heard the sentence 'two extremely high-level papers', everyone was stunned again, because they only knew that Duan Yun had published the paper on Hodge's conjecture a few years ago, but now they were surprised to hear that Duan Yun had another paper.
“…… This time, Duan Yun was invited by the Organizing Committee of the World Congress of Mathematicians to give two one-hour presentations, which is extremely rare, and it is the first time that someone has won such a high honor at the World Congress of Mathematicians...... In the report of this conference, Duan Yun's two reports are about the "Hodge Conjecture" and "Riemann Conjecture", which are very high in gold content, and have been listed as the world's top ten mathematical problems by the world mathematics community before, especially the content of the paper on the Riemann conjecture, which has not been cracked for a hundred years, and can be called the Everest ...... in the world mathematics community.
He ...... Did he really crack the Riemann conjecture?" a middle-aged professor sitting next to Gong Jinchen was stunned when he heard this, and said with a look of disbelief.
"This can't be, CCTV must have made a mistake. Professor Guo picked up the remote control at this time and turned off the TV directly.
Professor Guo obviously didn't want this news to ruin his carefully arranged dinner.
But when everyone present saw this, they all knew in their hearts that CCTV is the most rigorous media, although there are political tendencies, but this kind of news will never be faked, since there are reports on the news, it means that Duan Yun has indeed successfully solved the two world-class mathematical problems of the Hodge conjecture and the Riemann conjecture, and within the specified time, he has successfully fulfilled the bet between him and Gong Jinchen on Kyoto TV!
For a while, the atmosphere in the private room began to freeze a little.
"Director Gong, drink and drink! I'll toast you again. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Professor Guo immediately broke his silence and said to Gong Jinchen.
"Uh. Seeing this, Gong Jinchen also picked up the wine glass again, but the smile on his face was a little stiff.
"Duan Yun's kid can't grow a rabbit's tail, I think this time it must be that the TV station didn't figure out the situation, and he wanted to crack the Riemann conjecture in half a month, what kind of international joke is he making, I guess his paper is an idea at most, and it hasn't been confirmed yet." Another professor followed.
"That's right, the idea doesn't mean that it really succeeds, Duan Yun's kid just wants to be sensational, and then this World Congress of Mathematicians is just in the limelight, it's not worth mentioning. ”
"That's it!"
Several others chimed in.
In any case, the current Gong Jinchen is the leader of the mathematics department, although many people have seen that Duan Yun should have really succeeded this time, but in this situation, they still need to stand on Gong Jinchen's side.
"Cheers!" Gong Jinchen touched the glass with everyone, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
Although he always had a smile on his face, Gong Jinchen's heart was shocked like a river and a sea.
If it was a report from a small TV station, he could completely dismiss it, but since CCTV reported that Duan Yun had successfully cracked the Riemann conjecture, then this matter should be 100% true!
This is definitely news that Gong Jinchen can't accept!
Since the bet between him and Duan Yun on the Internet has reached the level that everyone in China knows, it is conceivable that Duan Yun's matter will soon spread in China, and if he does not resign and fulfill the previous gambling contract between the two, he will face unimaginable terrifying public opinion pressure in the future!
But Gong Jinchen has been working hard for decades now, and he has just taken the position of the head of the mathematics department, and he obviously can't give up his newly acquired official position.
Gong Jinchen really regretted it this time......
Suddenly, an indescribable pain came from his chest.
Gong Jinchen subconsciously wanted to take out his quick-acting heart-saving pill from his underwear pocket, but as soon as his hand was halfway in, his eyes went black and he completely lost consciousness......
