Just as Lu Zhou and Schultz were chatting about the Langlands Program from algebraic geometry, the other two Fields Medal winners next to him were also whispering their acceptance speeches.

“…… When I escaped from the Kurds, I didn't expect it to be today. When I first entered the University of Nottingham, I didn't even know English. Looking at the medal in his hand, recalling the experience of fleeing Iran for the United Kingdom in his last year as an undergraduate, Birkar sighed.

From being uprooted and linguistic to becoming a major contributor to birational geometry, he demonstrated the finite nature of Fano clusters and his outstanding contribution to solving many of the problems of the Minimalist Program (also known as the Mori Shigebun Program), which was the main reason for his Fields Medal.

"It's not easy." Venkatesh, who was sitting next to him, comforted, "Australia has never had such a tragic thing, and we are so lucky compared to your past." ”

The 80s were the time of the Iran-Iraq war, and it was not easy to maintain a love for mathematics in the era of artillery fire.

"It's okay, it's all in the past," Bilkar squeezed a smile out of his face as he put the medal in his briefcase, "Kurd is a place where children are not very interested in mathematics, and I hope the news of this award will put a smile on the faces of 40 million people." ”

After this, the International Union of Mathematicians also awarded the Navarlina Prize. As the highest award in the field of computer science mathematics, the winner is Professor Da Scarakis of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

After the award ceremony, the opening ceremony also came to an end.

A local art group in Rio de Janeiro brought a unique Brazilian cultural performance to participants from all over the world.

Looking at the head dressed as an Incasa native, and the crown like a peacock opening the screen, Lu Zhou always felt that this thing was more like a kind of performance art than dance.

At least he couldn't feel it at all, what was there to see.

Maybe it's a cultural difference.

……

After the theatrical performance, the alliance master. Shigeni Shigeni announced the end of the opening ceremony.

Most of the participants left the venue happy.

Leaving his seat, Lu Zhou was about to leave the venue and go to the restaurant for lunch, when he was soon surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

The first to ask questions was a reporter from CTV.

I saw that the reporter's young lady had a professional smile on her face, and asked politely: "Hello Professor Lu, as the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor, how do you feel at this moment?" ”

This question is a bit harder.

Agitated? Pleasure? Get one's way?

It seems to be a little bit, but it's not very accurate.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Looking at the camera facing him, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly: "It feels okay." ”

Hearing this, the reporter brother who was carrying the camera almost didn't hold the lens steady.

OK......

The Philippine Award is still on the land...... Professor Lu!

This interview is broadcast, but I'm afraid that tomorrow will have to become a joke.

The microphone in the reporter's hand also shook, but quickly returned to normal, changed the question, and continued to ask with a smile.

"I heard that you are very famous in Jinling University, and many young students regard you as a role model for struggle, do you have anything to say to them standing on this international stage?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Don't forget your original intention, you have to always!" ”

It is not only Lu Zhou who is surrounded by reporters, but also three other Filipino Award winners.

Especially Bilkal.

Although his academic achievements are slightly inferior to those of the other three laureates, his special identity label makes him unexpectedly more popular with the Western media.

Although this popularity does not necessarily mean a good thing for him.

A little annoyed by the reporters, Bilkar was about to find a chance to slip away, but at this moment, a very embarrassing thing happened.

"Wait, where's my medal?"

An exclamation sounded, causing all the cameras in the vicinity to focus on Bilkar's side.

Ignoring the shots, Billkar anxiously searched for the medal that had just been picked up and not yet warmed.

Having taken note of the situation here, the Organizing Committee of the General Assembly has taken note of the situation. Professor Sylviana walked over and asked, looking at a worried Calbil.

"What happened?"

"My medal, it's still in my briefcase......" said in an incredulous tone, and Bill Carr, who was about to look for his briefcase, was suddenly stunned.

Because he soon found that not only the 14K medal was gone, but also his briefcase with his mobile phone and wallet was gone.

Professor Viana quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, and he looked at the secretary next to him and sighed.

"Call the police."

The secretary nodded and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

Although as the organizers of the conference, they didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

But at this moment, they have no better way than to contact the police.

News of the theft of the Fields Medal spread quickly and caused quite a stir in the venue.

Although the briefcase was quickly found near the hotel, the phone, wallet, and medal inside were all missing.

Based on the principle of open communication, the Congress of Mathematicians itself does not limit the identity of the participants, and anyone can freely express their academic opinions and exchange academic problems with the people at the conference.

However, no one expected that thieves would be infiltrated in the assembly.

In interviews with various media outlets, a spokesperson for the International Union of Mathematicians expressed disappointment with the security situation in Rio de Janeiro and said that if the medal could not be found, a special ceremony would be held to re-award the unfortunate winner.

Lu Zhou, who had just gotten rid of the reporter, also heard what happened to Bill Karl from Hardy.

In addition to expressing deep sympathy for the Kurdish brother, Lu Zhou subconsciously touched the medal in his pocket.

Fortunately, his medal is still there.

Listening to the voices of the discussion next to him, the expression on Hardy's face was a little uncomfortable.

“…… Professor, although I hate to say this, it is true that security in Rio de Janeiro is not very good. If you're planning to go out, make sure you take care of your medals and wallet. ”

Looking at the rare expression on Hardy's face that didn't look like a joke, Lu Zhou nodded silently.

“…… I will. ”

After coming out of the hall where the opening ceremony was held, Lu Zhou decided to walk around the conference site.

Presentations at international congresses of mathematicians are usually of high quality, with 1-hour presentations and 45-minute presentations starting at fixed times, as well as 10-minute presentations for general scholars, who can apply for in their own group.

There are more than 20 subject groups in the conference, and you can divide them into more if you subdivide them.

For this kind of opportunity to intuitively understand the latest research trends in the academic world, Lu Zhou naturally will not let go so easily.

When he first came to the corridor, just as Lu Zhou was thinking about which subject group to go to first, a familiar and eager voice suddenly came from the side.

"Professor Lu, long time no see!"
