"Damn, awesome!"

His hands were red because of the applause, and Xu Chenyang, who hadn't exploded in foul language for a long time, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Although the person standing on the stage was not him, and he had never even met him, he still couldn't control the excitement in his heart and cheered for this moment from the bottom of his heart.

The millennial puzzle that plagued the mathematical and physical communities has now been solved by a Chinese scholar.

It's not just a miracle for him alone.

It is a miracle of the entire Chinese mathematics community!

I believe that after today, even people who have nothing to do with mathematics will hear and see his name repeatedly in newspapers and on television.

Even the glory of the Fields Medal will be overshadowed in the face of this historical achievement.

Rather, the Fields Medal will be honored because of him.

“……”

Zhang Wei, who was sitting next to Xu Chenyang, also stared at the person on the stage, and didn't say a word.

He didn't have any more thoughts in his heart than shock.

Taking off his glasses, Zhang Wei wiped the somewhat damp lenses, and saw the expression on his face from the reflection on the lenses.

Originally, I was only invited to give a 45-minute report, but I didn't expect to witness history by accident.

CCTV has never broadcast the Fields Medal ceremony live, and coverage of the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians is usually interspersed with a set of newsletters.

But tomorrow's news broadcast, I'm afraid it will make an exception because of him.

Although for him, these things seem to be secondary......

On the other side, on the stage.

The thunderous applause echoed in his ears, and the stirring heart in his chest could not be calmed down for a long time, looking at the audience who gave a standing ovation, Lu Zhou was a little distracted for a while.

It took him about ten seconds to recover from his momentary distraction.

The applause gradually stopped.

The audience also sat back one after another.

Although his report has ended, the report meeting has not ended.

Rather, the next part is the key to the presentation.

Even if his report is good enough, and even if he has succeeded in convincing many people, there will inevitably be doubts.

In the Q&A session, he will answer the questions raised by his peers one by one.

Whether he can successfully answer all the doubts will also determine whether his paper can be recognized by the entire academic community......

……

The question session took longer than Lu Zhou expected.

The first question was asked by Tao Zhexuan, who asked a question about the L manifold.

Then there is Peverman and Yau Chengtong......

Almost the entire field of partial differential equations has brushed their faces in the questioning session.

For the questions of these peers, Lu Zhou also gave detailed answers one by one.

In this question-and-answer exchange, time flies quickly.

However, until 12 o'clock in the afternoon, there was still a steady stream of questions.

Since everyone was on an empty stomach, the organizers had to announce an intermission, and after consulting Lu Zhou, the rest of the question-and-answer session was scheduled to continue after 2 p.m.

Finally had time to rest, and Lu Zhou, who was relieved, stepped off the stage.

However, he didn't even have time to go to the bathroom, and he had barely taken two steps out of the lecture hall when he was surrounded by a crowd waiting outside.

Among those who surrounded him were journalists, academics, and simply admirers of him. Not everyone had the opportunity to witness this historic event, and many people waited outside the lecture hall all the time.

"Hello Professor Lu, I'm a reporter for Columbia TV......"

“…… Receive an interview with our Daily Mail! ”

"The result? Is there a general solution to the NS equation in the 3D case? Is it smooth? ”

"Land God! Can I shake your hand? ”

"Let me take a picture! Just a photo! I'm going to tweet, oh Shet, don't step on my feet! ”

"Can you leave me your contact information?" I have some math questions I would like to ask you ......"

Taken aback by the enthusiasm of these people, Lu Zhou originally thought that everyone was in the lecture hall behind him, but he didn't expect the outside of the lecture hall to be crowded like this.

But after thinking about it, after all, this is the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians, and he is relieved.

In addition to the invited participants, there are many people who come to watch at their own expense every year. In addition to some important conferences or lectures, the International Union of Mathematicians does not exclude these mathematics enthusiasts from participating in this nine-day event.

However, understanding is understanding, looking at the crowd that is getting more and more excited, Lu Zhou still can't help but feel a little numb.

The afternoon question session continued, he was now hungry and tired, and just wanted to find a place to eat, and then take a nap, and had neither the time nor the energy to meet the demands of these people.

Fortunately, the organizers of the conference discovered the situation here in time, and with the help of the staff, Lu Zhou finally broke through from the crowd......

……

After 12 o'clock, the organizer of the conference, the International Mathematical Union, provided a free light meal for everyone.

The menu consists of a local black bean meal and yerba mate, as well as a chocolate ball for dessert, which is not very hearty, but it is generous.

In the hotel's restaurant, Lu Zhou held a plate and sat down in a very low-key corner.

However, not long after he sat down, three students who had come with him to Brazil for the International Congress of Mathematicians approached him.

"Professor, that lecture you just gave was just a cool one!"

Sitting across from Lu Zhou with a plate, Hardy shook his fist excitedly, as if it wasn't a briefing, but a football or rugby game.

Qin Yue, who was sitting next to him, also nodded excitedly, with a rare excited expression on his face.

However, compared to Hardy, he has a relatively honest personality, he doesn't have so many words, and he is not particularly good at expressing himself, and he only holds back one sentence after holding it for a long time.

"Bunker!"

Bending the corners of his mouth, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Envy, isn't it?"

Hardy: "Does this still work?" ”

Qin Yue and Vera didn't speak, but they both nodded in unison.

An hour-long debriefing is good enough.

A special report meeting held specifically for him is no longer an achievement that can be summed up by the word awesome.

Looking at his students, Lu Zhou smiled and continued in an encouraging tone: "If you are envious, work hard!" One day, you too will have the opportunity to stand in that place and use what I have taught you, and what you have created yourself, to change the world as we know it. The future belongs to you. ”

Hardy: "...... Professor. ”

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?" ”

Hardy scratched the back of his head: "It's nothing...... I just want to say that I'm twenty-five, probably a year older than you. When you're old, we're almost ......."

Lu Zhou: "......"

Just your words!

……

Hurriedly settled the lunch, Lu Zhou sent the plate to the collection point, and then left the restaurant.

With an hour and a half to go before the start of the "second half", he plans to go back to his room for a nap to recharge for the afternoon question session.

At this time, Vera, who had not spoken at the table before, suddenly followed him and stopped him in the corridor outside the restaurant.

“…… Professor. ”

Hearing that voice, Lu Zhou stopped and turned to look at the little girl who stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Although she was embarrassed to express her feelings, Vera, who had hesitated for a long time when she thought that the other two had sent her congratulations, finally made up her mind and whispered that belated congratulations with a red face.

"What did you look like on the stage just now...... Very handsome. ”

Hearing someone praise him for being handsome, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled embarrassedly.

"That's a must."
