There was silence in the room.

The atmosphere is somewhat subtle

Embarrassed?

Ma Changan frowned slightly, thinking that someone would echo him, but the truth seemed to be the opposite.

Judging from the reaction of the audience in the venue, I always felt that my speech, which I had been preparing for a long time, did not seem to move anyone.

But it didn't matter, even if someone objected to what he said, he decided that no one could stand up and help the kid refute him.

Because he is behind the Aurora School, Aurora's professors will not be silent in the first place, and other professors will not risk offending a "popular academician candidate" for the sake of someone who is not very familiar with him.

The only variable is that Qiu Chengtong's old man, who started a fire, doesn't care about your background, even his own students, but Ma Changan paid attention to it and didn't see the face he didn't want to see.

however

Sitting not far from his left-hand side, an old professor coughed lightly, and spoke in a voice that was not very loud but still clear.

"Ahem, Comrade Ma Changan, sit down first, this issue can be put after the report meeting is over, and you can go and discuss it with Mr. Lu in private. At the report meeting, academic issues were mainly discussed. ”

Ma Changan was slightly stunned, and glanced to the side in surprise, but he didn't expect someone to refute him.

Wei Siyang, who was sitting next to the boss and taking notes, was also surprised, but when he turned his face sideways and saw the old professor's respectful face, the surprise in his heart suddenly turned into shock.

It turned out to be Academician Guo!

A great expert in the field of nonlinear development equations!

But he

Isn't he a professor at Aurora University?

Ma Changan's face was a little unpleasant, although the identity of Academician Guo had to make him respect, but it would not make him afraid.

He is Gu Lao's descendant, Academician Hong's junior brother, even if his academic attainments are not high, but he thinks that he still has some status in this circle.

However, having said that, after all, he is a person of the same school, so he still has to speak tactfully.

"Academician Guo, I don't agree with what you said, I am also concerned about whether the country's scientific research funds have been implemented, and this issue is not a shady issue, why can't it be discussed at an academic conference?"

After a pause, Ma Changan said earnestly.

"We all know that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and whether a new mathematical method is useful depends on what practical problems it solves, rather than using it to study what has already given results from predecessors, and using the work of predecessors to prove that one's work is correct."

"Otherwise, innovation for the sake of innovation, creation of methods for the sake of creating methods, and learning to make a castle in the air, isn't it ridiculous and generous?"

"Huh." Academician Guo shook his head with a smile, did not have the same knowledge as him, and slowly sat down.

He was originally a kind reminder in the face of Academician Hong, but he didn't want this surnamed Ma to not only appreciate it, but instead did ideological work with him.

It's a pity

Standing on the stage, Lu Zhou looked at Ma Changan strangely, and said in his heart You are not my mentor, what do I need to report to you when I research?

Told me about the methodology of the natural sciences?

I don't know my four-door politics. Did you only take two courses?

However, just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the back of the room.

"Let me say a few words."

I saw an old man with gray temples slowly standing up from the back row of the venue on the side of the corridor, and there was some impatience in his voice.

"I wonder if Comrade Ma Changan has subscribed to the Mathematics Yearbook?"

Seeing this old man, Lu Zhou was immediately surprised.

The

Isn't it precisely because of his undergraduate graduation defense that he made a special trip from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to "make trouble" for his academician Xiang South China?

It's been a long time, but the old gentleman is still so spirited.

As soon as he heard this question, Ma Changan's face sank.

He is engaged in mathematics, and if you ask him if he has subscribed to the four top magazines, it is equivalent to asking an undergraduate student whether he brings a textbook to class or a pen when he enters the examination room.

Ma Changan smiled faintly and said, "Joke to the academician, the Mathematics Yearbook is in the Aurora Mathematics Department, but every office has ordered it." ”

"Have you seen that?" Without waiting for him to answer, Xiang Huanan continued without giving any face, "If you take the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics and flip through it, you won't ask this kind of question." ”

Ma Changan was slightly stunned, didn't understand the meaning of these words, and frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Xiang Academician smiled and said in a steady voice: "In the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics, a paper on the proof of the Polygnac conjecture was published. The author of that paper is the speaker on the stage in front of you. And the method he used to prove this conjecture is what you call a 'castle in the sky'. ”

There was silence in the room.

There are people who are expressionless and indifferent to things outside of academics.

Some people had expressions that they had known for a long time, such as Academician Guo, who had stood up to remind Professor Ma Changan earlier. These old professors have apparently read the latest issue of the Annals of Mathematics, and are sitting here just waiting to hear the method of "not being able to write here for reasons of space" in the paper.

And the people who read the Annals of Mathematics for the first time are a minority after all.

The expression on most people's faces is one of surprise, surprise, shock and disbelief!

No one can believe that the young man who solved the twin prime conjecture at the beginning of this year has worked hard for less than a year to generalize the special form of k=1 to infinity on this basis, and the Polygnac conjecture has also been solved!

Many people did not understand at first why the Chinese Mathematical Society suddenly made such a bold decision to award the Chern Prize in Mathematics to a young man who was only 21 years old.

At this moment, all doubts were swept away, and all controversies turned into affirmations.

If it weren't for him, who would deserve this award!

As for Ma Chang'an, after hearing the news, the whole person was stunned and lost his words.

His first reaction was disbelief, and his second reaction was disbelief.

But it is impossible for Academician Xiang to lie to him, especially this kind of thing that can be checked by flipping through the journal.

The horse's face gradually turned the color of pig liver, he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he wanted to sit down, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he looked like he couldn't get off the stage.

Standing on the moral high ground before, he buttoned a large number of hats on Lu Zhou's head, but now, these hats have all been thrown back, but he himself has become the laughing stock of everyone.

Sitting not far away, looking at Ma Changan's face that was constantly changing, Academician Guo, who had stood up to remind him earlier, shook his head.

Normal academic discussions are nothing, and if you have to take care of this and that when you ask a question, and you have to take care of your status, then you don't need to talk about any academic conferences or make any reports.

However, there is no need to bring up some nonsense issues at the official report meeting.

And in the end, he couldn't find a thorn, and he made a joke, still in front of so many people.

With such a big foreign appearance, even if Academician Hong is his senior brother, it is probably not easy to help him exonerate.

If he is rated as an academician for 17 years, not only will it be difficult to convince the public, but I am afraid that he will have to be questioned with the Aurora School

It seems that the matter of evaluating academicians should be slowed down for a while.

At least, wait until he comes up with a slightly bigger result!

Thinking of this, Academician Guo couldn't help but glance at the young man on the stage meaningfully.

This kid was able to calm down enough, and he made such a big result, and he was stunned before the publication.

Even the old man who relied on the old and sold the old Ma Chang'an was about to ride to his head, and this son didn't give any explanation, just quietly watched him jump into the pit he dug.

This kind of scheming and forbearance really doesn't look like a young man!
