Chapter 1203: The Altar

Fefman's tone was unusually soothing, even a little heavy.

Because he knew that holding Duan Yun meant that he was about to step down from the highest altar in the mathematical world!

Maybe in a few years, he will be completely reduced to a supporting role compared to Duan Yun......

His evaluation of Duan Yun was very high, which was naturally not a deliberate compliment, but a heartfelt admiration.

“…… The wheel of the history of human mathematics will never stop, and it is precisely because of the daily study of these wise men here year after year that the ancient science of mathematics will develop to the height it is today......" Fefman on the stage gradually showed a smile on his face, and finally, he said: "...... Today, at the end of my speech, I would like to announce the winners of this year's Fields Medal......"

Feffman said, pulling out a delicate envelope from his suit, and after opening it, he took out a list of winners that had been prepared long ago.

For a while, the huge venue was suddenly silent, and the reporters on the scene also picked up the cameras in their hands for the first time, ready to record this great miracle in the history of mathematics.

When Feffman was on stage just now, he almost unanimously praised Duan Yun's talent and academic achievements, so in everyone's opinion, Duan Yun's occupation of a Fields Medal winner is already a sure thing.

Sure enough, the first name on Fefman's list was Duan Yun, and among the remaining three winners, one was the previous Iranian female mathematician named Mirzahani, and two Russian mathematicians, who won the Fields Medal together.

After announcing the winners, the four award-winning mathematicians left their seats and walked to the front desk under the guidance of the staff.

The moment Duan Yun stepped onto the podium, the applause at the scene was particularly warm, and the reporters who had been waiting on the sidelines also gathered under the stage and pressed the shutter frantically.

Duan Yun, who was illuminated by the strong and fast frequency magnesium lamp, couldn't open his eyes, and his bright bald head was extremely dazzling, like a high-power light bulb!

At this time, several CCTV film crews also used cameras to record the live broadcast of the Fields Medal for the first time, and several other people also stepped forward to take photos of Duan Yun.

This is the first time that a mathematician in China has won the Fields Medal, and it is also the highest academic award won by a Chinese scholar in the past 100 years.

It is precisely because of this that CCTV filmed the opening ceremony of the World Congress of Mathematicians for the first time for the first time, and at the same time recorded a documentary for Duan Yun.

However, due to the time difference between Huaxia and the United Kingdom of nearly seven hours, it is now 9 o'clock in the morning, and it is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon in China, so the news that Duan Yun won the award at the World Congress of Mathematicians this time is estimated to be broadcast at 7 o'clock in the evening news broadcast time in China at the earliest.

After the four winners stood on the podium, all the lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the huge conference hall.

Next, led by two black-clad bodyguards, an old woman wearing a top hat and a yellow coat slowly walked up to the podium.

After seeing the old woman on stage, everyone at the scene immediately stood up and applauded at the same time.

Duan Yun on the stage was stunned when he saw this scene, and after he glanced at the old woman, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

However, Duan Yun quickly reacted, it turned out that this old woman was none other than Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom!

Duan Yun never expected that the Queen of England would come to the scene in person to present awards to the winners of this year's Fields Medal, which is undoubtedly a very huge honor!

In fact, it has always been a tradition for the head of state or important officials of the host country of the World Congress of Mathematicians to present awards to the winners of the Fields Medals.

The World Congress of Mathematicians is held in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, not far from the official residence of the Queen of England, so the Queen of England is naturally willing to be the guest of honor of ICM.

Including Duan Yun, the four winners on the stage were very excited and excited, after all, the queen personally presented the award, which is a very high courtesy in the UK.

ICM staff held a plate with Fields medals, and the Queen picked up a sermon and began to present them one by one.

It's an exciting time.

Duan Yun was the first to get Fields' medal, and the queen obviously knew something about Duan Yun.

"Young man, you are amazing. The queen shook hands with Duan Yun, her face full of approval.

"Thank you!" Duan Yun also replied with a smile on his face when he heard this.

Next, the queen presented the remaining three with Fields Medal medals.

When the queen finally presented the award to the Iranian female mathematician, the queen stepped forward directly and hugged her, and the Iranian female mathematician immediately burst into tears, the scene was very touching and warm, and everyone at the scene once again responded with warm applause.

Duan Yun picked up the Fields medal on his chest and played with it carefully, feeling that the workmanship was still quite exquisite.

This medal is very valuable to Duan Yun, this is the first time that he and the entire mainland Chinese scholars have won the top international academic award, with this medal, Duan Yun will become the first person in the Chinese academic community without any suspense!

Although Duan Yun knew that he would definitely get this medal on the day he wrote the Hodge conjecture paper, when he actually got this medal, he was still a little uncontrollable excited.

Different from the sports circle, the sports circle needs athletes to keep competing and winning awards in order to maintain high commercial value, and the entertainment industry has no new works for a long time, and stars will quickly pass away, and in the academic world, once you have academic success and scientific research awards that you can get, you can always lie on the credit book, and you can gain respect and live a decent life for a lifetime with your beautiful resume.

Duan Yun naturally understands this, so after winning this award, he has already established himself as a top scholar in the Chinese academic community, and he will not need to invest a lot of time and energy in the future, and he can enjoy various government benefits and social influence of top scientists for a long time.

Therefore, Duan Yun plans to end his trip to the UK this time, and his next step will be to devote his main energy to the next National Football World Cup qualifiers and charity......
