"Professor Qiu, you're here too!" The seats in the venue seemed to be arranged according to the research field and work unit, and as soon as he entered the venue, Lu Qiujian saw Yau Chengtong's figure, so he stepped forward to say hello.

"Xiao Lu, long time no see!" Qiu Chengtong and Lu Qiu Jian just said a few words, and the people next to them pointed out the reason why Yau Chengtong would appear here, "Professor Qiu is here to receive the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award this time. ”

"Congratulations!" Lu Qiujian hurriedly congratulated, although Yau Chengtong is now a Chinese nationality, he has also been concerned about the development of domestic mathematics, initiated and organized the International Conference of Chinese Mathematicians, raised funds to establish the Beijing Morningside Mathematics Center, Wuyue University Mathematical Science Center, Shuimu University Mathematics Research Center and other institutions, not to mention his contribution to helping Chinese young mathematicians go abroad for exchange and study, he deserves this award.

"Then I want to congratulate you too! You are a popular candidate for the Nature Prize this time!" Yau Chengtong replied with a smile, for him it was a very happy thing to see the rise of a young Chinese mathematician.

After a while, the meeting officially began, and it can be seen from the number of leaders present that the government attaches great importance to the conference, in addition to the supreme leader and the prime minister, five of the nine elders came!

The conference was the highlight at the very beginning, and the top leaders first presented certificates to the two academicians who won this year's highest science and technology awards; one of these two winners is an authority on the earth's environment and has made a large number of original research results in loess research, making China one of the world's leading in the field of paleoglobal change research.

The other is a leading figure in aerospace technology, the first chief designer of the manned space project, and it was under his guidance that China's first successful manned space flight was successfully completed.

"The first prize of the National Natural Science Award will be awarded next!" The words of the host of the conference made the attention of the participants of Beijing Normal University and the mathematics community focus on Lu Qiujian.

Lu Qiujian took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and the principal sitting next to him gently patted the back of his hand, "Don't be nervous. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Qiujian whispered, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the voice of the elder who presided over the meeting, "The first prize of this year's National Natural Science Award is the 'Chengjiang Fauna and Cambrian Explosion' project, which completed the Jinling Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences."

Lu Qiujian couldn't hear the latter words clearly. Slightly disappointed, he leaned his back back on the chair, could it be that he was still defeated because of his age? The headmaster next to him was the old god, and he was not disappointed at all.

Sure enough, after reading the list of people who completed this project, the voice of the host of the meeting sounded again, "And the 'Poincaré Conjecture Cracking' project, the person who completed it, Lu Qiujian of Beijing Normal University!

Although the first prize has been vacant in recent years, there have been eleven projects winning at the same time in 87, and it is not too much to award two awards at a time this year.

"Hurry up to the stage to receive the award!" The principal took the initiative to stand up and make way for Lu Qiujian, and the people next to him also stood up and said congratulations while making way for him.

When Lu Qiujian walked to the stage. Although there had been unexpected facts such as Joseph Needham winning the award as a foreigner and Lu Jiaxi winning the award as a middle school teacher, Lu Qiujian's age this time still surprised them.

"Who was the youngest laureate before? I'm afraid it's twice his age?" they couldn't help but discuss, even though the top leader was on the stage.

"This is only twenty-one years old this year! None of the graduate students I take are younger than him!" the person next to him echoed, and there was some inexplicable flavor in his words, "In my opinion, this will not be the only time he has appeared on stage!" In the past, Mr. Zou Chenglu won two awards in 82 and 87 for his research on bovine insulin and protein, Tang Yuanqing and Jiang Yuansheng also won two awards in the past two years for their research on coordination field theory and molecular orbital pattern theory, and Mr. Zhou Guangzhao, the founder of two bombs and one star, won two awards in 64 and 82! It is estimated that it will not be long before the fifth scholar who has won many awards will appear!

"To be able to make such an achievement as the Poincaré conjecture. A first prize is more than enough, and if it weren't for the fact that the highest science and technology award is more application-oriented, he would have been eligible for this award!" one person joined the discussion.

Lu Qiujian followed the three experts in paleontology to the stage and stood in the middle of the stage; this time it was still the top leader who presented the awards. Lu Qiujian also saw that the elder who participated in the Poincaré conjecture report meeting last time was also on the stage, and thinking of his actions when he left, Lu Qiujian somewhat understood what he was talking about to the vice premier at that time.

"Thank you for your outstanding contributions to the development of China's science and technology!" After shaking hands, the top leader handed the award certificate to the hands of the four people on the stage.

When it arrives in the hands of Lu Qiujian at the end. The leader's movements paused obviously, obviously he was also surprised by Lu Qiujian's age, "Does Comrade Xiao Lu look young!"

"Both Gauss and Galova surprised the entire mathematical community at the age of twenty. Compared to them, I'm still a little late!" Lu Qiujian's answer made the people who heard it next to him wipe their sweat, but you are the supreme leader in front of you!

The leader also showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he still admired Lu Qiujian's confident attitude, and continued to hold his hand and said, "I have also read some of your information, and they all say that you will be the favorite of the next Fields Medal, the next Fields Medal will be awarded in 06, when you were only 23 years old, you should be the youngest winner ever, right?"

"If nothing else, it should be like this!" The youngest laureate before him was Jean-Pierre Serre, a 54-year winner from the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, who was only 27 years old! When answering, Lu Qiujian muttered secretly in his heart, the youngest Nobel laureate in science and technology is William Lawrence Pragg, who won the Nobel Prize in physics at the age of 25, and it seems a little difficult to break this record by himself!

"This is our country's first world-class science award! When you come back, I'll hold a banquet for you in Haizi to celebrate!" the leader patted him on the shoulder encouragingly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Xiao Lu has won the award, and I want to be rewarded.
