Chapter 421

In the banquet hall, the eyes of many mathematicians attending the meeting paused for a few seconds on Cheng Nuo's body before falling on Professor Maas.

Although they couldn't guess the identity of the young man, after a little thought, they politely greeted Professor Maas.

Several of them are well-known in the industry, and the mathematics community warmly greeted each other.

Cheng Nuo couldn't interject, so he could only support Professor Mas and stand aside and listen silently.

From the conversations of several people, Cheng Nuo also learned some of the latest news in the industry.

For example, which professor has completed a new topic, what conjecture has made a new breakthrough, and which branch has several new hot research directions.

In the immediate aftermathematicians of the International Congress of Mathematicians, the enthusiasm of mathematicians around the world is still high, and the mathematicians of Cambridge are no exception.

In terms of geometry, due to Professor Fresnel, Cheng Nuo can also understand the industry dynamics in real time.

As for other fields, Cheng Nuo could only say that he was two or three months behind the progress of the most cutting-edge news.

Through this conversation with the bigwigs, Cheng Nuo finally learned some internal information.

While enthusiastically discussing some interesting things in the industry with Professor Maas, several bigwigs glanced at Cheng Nuo, who was standing expressionlessly next to him, from time to time.

Regarding Cheng Nuo's identity, since Professor Maas did not take the initiative to mention it, several people did not ask directly.

Maybe it's just the juniors in the family.

Several people secretly guessed in their hearts.

After chatting for a while, the mathematicians faded away.

Kyle whispered in Professor Maas's ear, "Teacher, the people are here. ”

"Let's get started. Professor Maas spoke slowly.

Kyle nodded, straightened his suit, took the microphone from the waiter, and strode to the front of the banquet hall.

"Ahem. Kyle coughed lightly.

The eyes of the audience looked at each other.

Not to mention the relationship between Professor Maas's students, Kyle himself is quite famous in the mathematics circles of Cambridge.

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this dinner, and on behalf of my teacher, Professor Maas, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you. ”

"One of the reasons why the teacher held this dinner party was that everyone got together during the meaningful holiday of Christmas, and academic research is not done behind closed doors, especially for us mathematicians, who are faced with boring numbers and symbols almost all day long, and lack normal interpersonal communication. ”

............

Kyle crackled on stage and said a whole bunch of yes and nos.

Finally, there is a sentence, "Let's ask my teacher, Professor Maas, to come to the stage and give you a few words." ”

The mathematicians applauded.

Cheng Nuo helped Professor Maas to the stage.

Kyle plugged the microphone into the mic stand and stepped aside.

Professor Maas held the microphone with wrinkled hands and looked at the mathematicians in the audience with various eyes, and the voice from his heart became extremely loud.

"Thank you very much for being here. Kyle has already said most of what I have to say, and I won't go into too much detail here. Now, I'll just say one thing. ”

"All of you here can be said to be the whole city of Cambridge, or the whole world, a group of very good mathematicians, who have contributed to the development of the mathematical community to a greater or lesser extent. ”

"You all have talent and hard work, but, by what I said in the past!" Professor Maas's voice suddenly became serious, "you may have relied on your own talent and diligence to get to where you are now. But what about after that?"

"Think about it, how long has it been since you haven't even had time to eat for a project, how long has it been since you stayed up late to write formulas until three or four o'clock in the morning?

Professor Maas's set of unexplained questions made many professor-level mathematicians speechless and speechless with shameful faces.

In fact, Professor Maas is talking about a phenomenon that is very common in the mathematical community, or in the scientific research community as a whole.

Many people, in order to evaluate professional titles and awards, are working hard to do projects and projects, but once they are really famous, few people will maintain that kind of research attitude.

This is the reason why more and more people are getting professional titles every year, but the number of scientific research achievements is still growing slowly.

"Sitting in the office drinking tea and reading the newspaper, I never have an objection. But I still hope that every time you approach a research project, you can still retain the hard work of your youth!"

Professor Maas pointed to Cheng Nuo beside him and said with a smile, "You shouldn't know this one, but you must have heard his name." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled at everyone officially, not knowing which one Professor Mas made.

"His name is Cheng Nuo, and I don't want to mention his deeds at the International Congress of Mathematicians, but I want to say that just a few days ago, Cheng Nuo and three professors from Princeton completed a project on the cohomology theory of geometric algebraic clusters in only one and a half months. ”

"And this topic, the estimated research period is four months!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

It's been two and a half months faster, and it's ......

For some of the professors present, they are generally in the last few days of the research cycle before submitting the completed research papers.

"Their paper called "Research on Projective Clustering Based on Cheng Nuo's Theorem on Homology Theory" was just published in the journal "Geometric Symbols of the United States" yesterday, and you can take a look if you don't believe it. ”

Someone took out their phone and looked it up.

Sure enough, they soon found the paper that Professor Maas was talking about in yesterday's issue of the journal "Geometric Symbols of the United States", and there were also four names listed in the author's column.

Cheng Nuo's name is prominently listed.

And the people did not doubt him.

Cheng Nuo's theorem has only been proposed for less than two months since it was first proposed, and it is impossible for anyone to do a project on this topic months in advance.

Seeing that the example had an effect, Professor Maas continued to promote his idea, "Although Cheng Nuo is talented, he is only a graduate student, and the three professors at Princeton are not top professors. They're just a bunch of people who are even worse than you in math, but do you know why you were able to cut the research cycle to a month and a half?"

"Diligence, they are diligent!" Professor Mas said loudly, "Cheng Nuo, tell them how much sleep you slept every day during that time!"

"Three or four hours, sometimes I don't sleep for a day when I'm busy. Cheng Nuo replied truthfully.

As soon as this time came out, not only everyone in the audience, but even Professor Maas, who asked this question, couldn't help but be stunned.

This kid is so desperate!
