Lu Qiujian's words made the audience present and Lu Rui and other staff of the imperial court suddenly realize that they had thought that as long as they paid attention to scientific research and gave scientists a chance, they would be able to achieve achievements, but they never thought that this opportunity would be so expensive.

There was a noise in the studio hall, and everyone was buzzing about what Lu Qiujian had just said, "No wonder Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao can win awards abroad, but there have been no Nobel Prize winners in China, it turns out that it's all a matter of money!" Liang Xiao felt a blush for a while, and went back and quickly deleted the posts that sprayed the system and nationality on the Internet, so as not to be whipped after this episode of the program was broadcast.

After the applause, she entered the question session again, this time it was a girl wearing glasses who stood up, and she asked Lu Qiujian in a somewhat unconvinced tone, "Dr. Lu, what you just said is indeed very reasonable, but I don't think there should be a lot of investment in the field of mathematics, so why do so many players in my country have won the gold medal in the Olympiad in mathematics, but you are the only one who has won the Fields Medal?"

"First of all, I would like to correct you for a wrong point of view, mathematics does not require a lot of investment, the four-color theorem can only be proved by using supercomputers! And supercomputers are very expensive!" Lu Qiujian smiled and continued to reply, "Let's use data to speak!" Let's see if the gold medal in the Olympiad has anything to do with the Fields Medal!"

"Let's take a look at how many of the Fields Medal winners are Olympiad gold medalists! Gregory Margulis in 1978 was also a gold medalist in the 1962 Mathematical Olympiad, but no second Olympiad gold medalist reached the Fields Medal podium for a decade after him, and Vladimir Drifeld in 1990, who won the gold medal in 1969!"

"Then the Olympiad gold medalist officially appeared on the stage of the Fields Medal, from Derrefeld, Gales, Laverge to this year's Perelman and Tao Zhexuan, almost every edition has at least one Olympiad gold medalist won the Fields Medal!

"If you don't count Professor Wiles, the winner of the 2002 Fields Special Medal, there have been 18 Fields Medal winners since 1990. And a total of eight of these 18 winners have won gold medals in Olympiad mathematics, which is still a very large proportion!"

"So does winning the gold medal in the Olympiad mean that you have the hope of winning the Fields Medal? I can only say that the upper limit required for the two awards is different! For the average winner, they have done their best to get a perfect score of 42 points in the Mathematics Olympiad, while for others they can get 42 points because they only have 42 points on the paper! Our contestants can get a gold medal does not necessarily mean that they can win the Fields Medal!"

"In addition, let's take a look at the results of our country's athletes in the Olympiad! From 1985, when my country began to participate in the Olympiad, we won the first overall score for the first time in the fifth year, and since 1997, we have the lowest overall score and the second overall score. At first glance, this is a proud achievement!"

"However, mathematics has always been a discipline of individual ability rather than teamwork, and we did not win our first individual gold medal until 2000, and according to the 20-year interval from the Olympiad gold medal to the Fields Medal, we will not have a chance until the International Congress of Mathematicians after 2020!

"By the way, by the way, in a few days it will be the date of the award of the Mathematical New Discovery Award! It just so happens that there are two of the winners in this list of winners of the Olympiad in my country, and they are my classmates at Beijing Normal University, and I believe that if they keep their current state. Then there is a good chance that he will win a Fields Medal in the future!"

Lu Qiujian is talking about Zhang Wei and Yun Zhiwei, who are enrolled in the same class as him, and the latter, like Professor Elki of Harvard, are perfect winners of the Olympiad, and in the future, they will successively win the Ramanu Prize in Mathematics, which is only awarded to young mathematicians under the age of 32! The future is limitless!

"In addition, although mathematics requires less funds, it has the same strict requirements for contact with the international frontier! And our mathematicians have lacked this kind of opportunity before, if Mr. Chen Jingrun can enter the mathematical mecca such as Princeton and Paris Normal School when his thinking is at his most vigorous, then I think he will achieve even greater achievements!"

The development of the Internet has allowed an ordinary mathematics student to keep up with the world's cutting-edge developments, and the developed air transport has made it no longer difficult to communicate face-to-face with top international mathematicians. With the most advanced academic concepts, it can be said that the current mathematics students are in the happiest era in the history of China!"

"So. I think that the Fields Medal, like the Nobel Prize, is just that the time has not yet come, and in another 20 or 30 years! China's scholars will definitely stand on these two podiums! "Although the current mathematical community is a bit chaotic and not conducive to the growth of young people, it is the same as the Nobel Prize, as long as the base is large. There will always be geniuses emerging! We Chinese people will not lose to any race in terms of IQ!

After answering questions about the Nobel Prize and the Fields Medal, the audience became relaxed, and the questions began to develop in a super-diverse manner, some asked about Lu Qiujian's private life, and some asked about Huaguo's space exploration program; Lu Qiujian avoided talking about personal issues. But he said a lot about the space exploration program, and he came to participate in this show to build momentum for the plan, so how could he let go of this opportunity!

Lu Qiujian painted a picture with a bright future, presenting the charm of the universe in front of the audience, which attracted their fascination; even Liang Xiao secretly wondered that science seems to be much more interesting than Chinese language and literature! Should I agree to the invitation to join the research institute last time?

Finally came to the end of the show, Lu Rui took the microphone, "I'm really embarrassed to announce the end of the show when everyone is so enthusiastic, but Dr. Lu is already a little tired, so let's ask one last question now!"

The last question was a young man wearing Bayern Munich's No. 27 shirt, and he couldn't wait to take the microphone and couldn't wait to ask, "Dr. Lui, I am a football fan, and my main concern is whether you will still play football when you return to China, and will you represent the national team?" )
