Chapter 23: The Edwin Award

"Teacher Britney!"

The three of Bard floated in the sky, and when they saw Teacher Britney, their faces instantly turned pale.

Who doesn't know that Teacher Britney likes Blair the most, and even the published articles will be signed with Blair's name, and they beat Blair and are seen by Teacher Britney, and there will be no good end.

Thinking of this, Bard felt that something seemed wrong, it wasn't they beating Blair just now, but Blair beating them!

Britney was not alone, there were two old men behind her, one wearing a magician's robe with three silver threads on his chest, and the other wearing an ordinary caftan with the badge of the Academy of St. Donas on his right shoulder.

When they saw the old man with the badge of St. Donas College on his shoulder, Bard and the three of them trembled in their hearts, this is a very powerful vice president of the college, St. Donas College prohibits students from beating each other, if the academy knows that students beat each other, they will be given a serious warning, and they will be ordered to withdraw from the school.

Thinking of the latter possibility, Bud and the others' faces turned a little pale.

Britney glared at the three of Bard, waved her hand, and the three slowly landed.

She no longer looked at Bard and the others, looked at Chen Luo, and asked, "Blair, why are you the only one here, Isabella?"

Chen Luo said: "Senior Sister Isabella has gone back. ”

Britney nodded, looked at Bud and the others again, and asked, "What's going on with them?"

Chen Luo smiled and said, "Budd said that he wanted to teach me the rules of St. Donas College, but it just so happened that Teacher Britney was here, and they haven't had time to teach me yet." ”

Chen Luo's voice fell, and Bad's face was like ashes.

The old man with the academy badge on his shoulder glanced at the three of Bard and said lightly, "You three, wait over there first." ”

The three of Bard walked into the distance with a cold body, and they were already full of regret in their hearts, regretting that they should not have listened to Feiqi's words, and they were beaten in vain, and they might be severely punished by the academy in a while.

Teacher Britney looked at the two old men and introduced to Chen Luo: "Blair, this is Vice President Achill, you should know, this is Vice President Calvin, he is from the Mathematical Association. ”

Chen Luo saluted the two slightly, "Hello Dean Achill, President Calvin is good." ”

The two old men looked at Chen Luo with a different face, and the vice president of the Mathematics Association named Calvin looked Chen Luo up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Being able to help Miss Britney complete the solution of the riddle of Raus, is indeed a good seedling for learning mathematics." ”

Britney immediately corrected him and said, "President Calvin, I think you got one thing wrong, the riddle of Raus was solved by Blair alone, and I just helped him write the paper. ”

Calvin looked at her, shook his head slightly, and said, "Solving the mystery of Rauss will be of great help to you in selecting the Edwin Award this year, and this is also the honor of the Apor City chapter, if you want, the chapter will do its best to help you win the Edwin Award." ”

Vice Dean Achill looked at Britney and said, "Teacher Britney, I think you should think about this matter again, this is a matter of great significance to you and the college. ”

Teacher Britney thought for a moment, looked at Calvin, and asked, "Can't it be Blair?"

Calvin shook his head and said, "He is still too young, and in mathematics, he does not have the same rich results as you, even if he solves the riddle of Raus, it is impossible to win the prize." ”

Britney looked at Chen Luo, smiled slightly, and said, "I believe that in two years, the Edwin Award will definitely be Blair's." ”

Calvin sighed and asked, "So, you're going to give up?"

Britney nodded and said, "This would have been Blair's glory. ”

Vice President Archill looked regretful, and Calvin looked at him with the same regret, and said, "In that case, the association respects your choice. ”

Chen Luo looked at the three of them, and finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Excuse me...... Can I find out what's going on?"

......

Teacher Britney and the three of them talked about the mystery of Raus, and what else was about the Edwin Award, and it seemed to be related to themselves, and Chen Luo was confused when he listened.

After Vice President Achill's explanation, Chen Luo finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Founded decades ago, the Edwin Prize is an important award in the field of mathematics, awarded annually to scholars who have made significant contributions to mathematics.

The Laus Mystery is a puzzle that has plagued the mathematical community for hundreds of years, and its solution is a milestone event for the mathematical community, which is of great significance, and this year's Edwin Prize is awarded to the scholar who solved the Laus riddle, which is well deserved.

The problem is that Ms. Britney gave up the first author of the riddle of Raus to Luo Chen, which led to her not being able to win the Edwin Prize, and Luo Chen, as a newcomer, did not have many achievements in mathematics other than the riddle of Raus, and was also unlikely to win the award.

The Edwin Award is an award from the Kingdom, and if Ms. Britney can win the award, it will be an honor for the college and the Apor City Mathematics Branch, so the two of them worked hard to persuade Ms. Britney to make herself the first author of the paper, but Ms. Britney refused.

Calvin looked at Chen Luo and sighed, "I have to say, your teacher is really good to you. ”

Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, looked at Calvin, and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, how much is the prize money for the Edwin Prize?"

"Bonus?" Calvin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It is a great honor for a scholar to be able to win the Edwin Award, and it is an insult to the Edwin Award to measure this honor with gold coins." ”

"That's no bonus......"

Calvin nodded: "Although there is no bonus, it is ......"

Chen Luo shook his head decisively and said, "Regarding the riddle of Raus, I just put forward an idea, and it was Teacher Britney who really calculated the formula, so I can't accept this honor." ”

The Edwin Prize may be an inseparable honor for other scholars, but Chen Luo is not among them.

Glory can't be used as a gold coin flower, and with this kind of idle time, he might as well use it for meditation.

What's more, he approached Teacher Britney with ill intentions, under the guise of learning mathematics, in fact, he wanted to learn magic with her, and he was already very sorry for her, if he didn't make up for her, Chen Luo couldn't pass that level in his heart at all.

For a mathematician, the Edwin Prize is an acknowledgment and an honor, and if Ms. Britney can give up this temptation and give up this kind of low-hanging fruit, what can Chen Luo not give up?

After all, they don't give themselves money.

What's more, the old man also said just now that even Chen Luo, as the first author of that paper, could not win the award because of his insufficient contributions, in this case, it is better to give it to Teacher Britney.

Teacher Britney looked at Chen Luo, frowned, and said, "Your idea is the most important thing, even without me, you can get the same result sooner or later." ”

Chen Luo shook his head and said: "My idea was also inspired by Teacher Britney's class, and in the final analysis, it is the credit of Teacher Britney......

Calvin had a strange face, they had seen a lot of friends and even teachers and students who turned against each other because of the ownership of the results, and the pair of young teachers and students in front of them, in the face of the great glory that was within reach, were passing the buck to each other, this situation, Calvin had seen it for the first time.

He was particularly moved by the fact that they were both young, and that both Miss Britney and this pupil named Blair were at their quickest minds in their lives, which meant that they had a bright future, and their names were destined to appear in the history of mathematics, and in fact, they had done so now.

Calvin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Perhaps, there is another way......

......

"Juxtaposition?" After listening to Calvin's words, Britney looked at him in surprise and said in surprise: "President Calvin means that Blair and I are tied for the first author to apply for the Edwin Prize, but there has never been such a precedent for the Edwin Award. ”

"Just because we didn't have it before doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. Calvin smiled and said, "The riddle of Raus has been circulated for so long that even many mathematical scholars have doubts about its authenticity, and your contribution is huge and irreplaceable, and the Mathematical Society has made an exception for it, what is impossible?"

"Then it's decided. Before Britney could speak, Dean Achill immediately said, "Whether you win the Edwin Award or not, you are the glory of St. Donas, and the academy is proud of you......"

Britney frowned, and was about to speak, Chen Luo tugged at her sleeve, although Teacher Britney has an unparalleled IQ and magical talent, but in some ways, she is still a little too simple.

The Edwin Award is not only about her and herself, but also about the College of St. Donas, and even the Apor branch of the Mathematical Association, and if she insists on going her own way, she will offend too many people.

Britney didn't say anything more, and President Calvin and Dean Archill accomplished their goals.

Calvin smiled at Britney Spears and Chen Luo and said, "I'll go back first, about the Edwin Award, if there is any progress, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

Dean Achill also said goodbye and left, but when he was leaving, he glanced at the three of Bard coldly, and said in a deep voice: "You three come with me!"
