Chapter 112: The Abel Prize

At the end of his speech at Harvard, receiving a flood of applause and recognition from the New World, Wang Yinan boarded a transatlantic flight to Europa, the birthplace of modern science.

The first stop is Britannia, a small island on the edge of Europa. It takes about 8 hours to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the east coast of the rice country, and this time the assistant of the Imperial Capital University did not make a mistake and booked a first-class cabin for Wang Yinan alone.

Wang Yinan sat by the window, looking at the clouds slowly moving away, and couldn't help but think of the elegant figure that crossed this ocean like a swan twenty years ago, the Concorde.

It was really a miracle of science and technology in the 70s of the last century, four Olympus 593 turbojet engines developed by Rolls-Royce, propelled this slender, lightweight, 120-passenger civil airliner, capable of long-distance flight at up to twice the speed of sound, and the fastest flight from Niuyo to London in more than two hours.

"It would be nice if I could get on the Concorde", Wang Yinan thought, for Wang Yinan, who has a fear of flying, he can compress the travel time to more than two hours, which is a dream that will wake up with a smile.

However, since then, more than 40 years have passed, the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day, perhaps, the use of the latest technology to develop supersonic passenger aircraft can be put on the agenda, if the noise of supersonic flight can be solved, it may really be a new civil aviation revolution.

When Wang Yinan arrived in Cambridge, it was already June, and the weather in Europa became warmer, because London has a typical maritime climate, and the imperial capital is almost above 35 degrees, and it is only about 20 degrees here, and the temperature is very pleasant.

Oxford and Cambridge University as one of the few pride on this isolated island, for hundreds of years, of course, historically, Cambridge is the son of Oxford, hundreds of years ago, a group of teachers and students who fled from Oxford, camped on the edge of the Sword River, established Cambridge University.

In terms of inheritance, Cambridge is the alma mater of Newton, Darwin and other giants, so Wang Yinan's first stop in Europa was at Cambridge University.

In order to give Europa's scholars a big shock, and Wang Yinan always had a peculiar feeling, on this continent, there seemed to be a veil of mystery, and under the veil, it seemed that something had been hidden, Wang Yinan decided to put some dry goods out to see if he could blow something up.

The Sun Kingdom has made barium-calcium-copper-oxygen superconductors before, and that part of the deleted paper is not much interesting to hide anymore, so in Cambridge, Wang Yinan made a special report, "Superconductivity Mechanism of Rare Earth Element Oxides", this time he took out the lattice frequency of the entire rare earth element, from the theoretical model to the final melting point and critical temperature calculation.

With a bunch of daunting mathematical formulas, and a dizzying array of data and conclusions, the top Europa scholars who attended the report found themselves rushing from one climax to the next, and they simply couldn't stop.

I thought that this oriental magician was already very good, but I didn't expect that what Wang Yinan took out casually once again refreshed everyone's definition of genius.

In the large lecture hall of the University of Cambridge, when Wang Yinan listed the superconducting critical temperatures of a series of rare earth element oxides on the blackboard and connected them into a straight line, the venue erupted in thunderous applause.

And in the audience, there was a special audience, he was standing in the middle of the people, and there were three or two men in suits with serious expressions and bulging waists, and the men in the suits looked around with vigilant eyes, as if they would pounce on them at any moment and tear up any threat to this special audience.

This special listener is Arthur, the boss of the Guardian Alliance and the chief scientist.

This blonde man named Arthur looks very young at first glance, but when you look closely, his eyes are full of the vicissitudes of insight into the world, so that you dare not judge his age. Arthur may be the first person on the entire Blue Star to understand Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing's papers.

But today, Wang Yinan's speech was still beyond Arthur's expectations, and when Arthur saw Wang Yinan's paper, he did wonder if he had deliberately omitted something, but when Wang Yinan made up the missing parts today, Arthur was still deeply shocked by the whole theoretical picture.

Such a picture should be bathed in the light of the Lord.

After Wang Yinan's lecture ended, many scholars from Cambridge and John Bull universities surrounded him, and the eager scientists did not care about being reserved, and raised their doubts to Wang Yinan, or exchanged some new ideas.

Arthur walked over slowly, and there were a few men in black suits around him, and under his inexplicable momentum, the crowd surrounding Wang Yinan involuntarily leaked a crack.

Wang Yinan was saying something, casually drew a formula on the blackboard, and as he was drawing, he felt that the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, he turned around, and just saw a blond hair, unable to see the age, handsome and a little unspeakable man came over and stretched out his hand to him, "Professor Wang, I'm Arthur", a pure Chinese.

This is the first meeting between Arthur and Wang Yinan, Wang Yinan looked at Arthur who was slowly approaching, and suddenly felt in a trance, as if someone had crossed a thousand years of time and stood in front of him, "How is it possible", Wang Yinan shook his head, stretched out his hand and shook Arthur.

"Hello, may I ask if you are..." In the face of this uninvited guest, Wang Yinan didn't know what to say.

"Great theory," Arthur said, "but IMHO, this theory should not be in this time, this place".

"I don't understand what you mean," Wang Yinan said.

Arthur stared at Wang Yinan's eyes, as if he wanted to look into the deepest part of his heart, "Such exquisite mathematics, such complex concepts, abstractions and simulations, should have been developed over a long period of time, and I mean ten years, twenty years or even longer", Arthur said,

"The results can be obtained by the entire Blue Star scientific community, not like you, and the answer is taken out all at once."

Wang Yinan smiled, it turned out to be this kind of old-fashioned argument again, but looking at this Arthur's appearance, he seemed to guess something, of course, Wang Yinan could be sure that the direction of his guess was completely wrong.

"In the world of science, in addition to the efforts to follow the rules, there will always be some miracles, a hundred years ago Einstein. Everywhere, you predicted the existence of gravitational waves that can only be detected today", Wang Yinan said.

"A hundred years later, a miracle has happened again, and there seems to be no need to make a fuss."

Arthur nodded, "That's a good point, but remember, this is just the beginning", and with that, Arthur turned and left the room.

"Neurotic", Wang Yinan felt that this guy was really bad in the brain, but this person didn't look right, "It seems that Qian Zhonghua has to find someone to investigate, I always feel that this Arthur is not so simple."

After leaving the British Isles, Wang Yinan went to Imperial College London in Hans and CERN (Europa Nuclear Research Organization) in Zurich, where he found traces of top quarks and helped Witten win the Nobel Prize.

Like Cambridge, Wang Yinan's lecture was also a great success, and when he was at CERN, Li Wenjing, who took another route to gain prestige, also came to Zurich, and the two of them would later give a detailed lecture at CERN for all the academic masters of Europa.

Strangely, that mysterious Arthur never appeared again.

At the end of June, Lowe, Oslo, the award ceremony of the Abel Prize attracted global attention.

The prize money is as high as nearly 1 million US dollars, and in recent years, with the award and recognition of Nash and Wiles, the Abel Prize has become one of the most influential mathematics awards in the entire Blue Star, and there is no problem in removing one without the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

Oslo, the royal family of Lovey, according to the convention, it should be the king to present the Abel Prize, but this year's situation is more special, because the two winners are too young, so this time the royal family of Lovey also broke the convention and the young prince presented the award certificate.

At the University of Oslo, Prince Haakon and his commoner wife presented Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing with the Abel Prize for their "pioneering work in differential analysis and calculation of topological manifolds of mixed color space groups", "especially the proposal of new eigenproperties corresponding to spatial distributions, which opened up a whole new field of mathematics".

The two shared a bonus of 1 million US dollars, of course, for Wang Yinan, who wants to earn 300 million a day, this bonus is really nothing.

The next day, at the special invitation of the University of Oslo, Wang Yinan gave a special lecture on the theory of oxide superconductivity at the University of Oslo.

"The new superconductivity theory is the only trail that can be discovered on a rugged mountain road, and every wrong step is likely to mean a cliff and a catastrophe."

"Only beyond human insight can we know that at the end of the trail, there will be such a beautiful landscape", (beyond human insight, of course, only the Gödel system),

"Since 100 years ago, Albert Einstein. There has never been a time since you developed tensor algebra when mathematics plays such an important, decisive role in physics."

"The essence of mathematics is to provide a description of objective existence that can be understood by humans" (that is, what humans will do in the future is to find a way to understand the results calculated by artificial intelligence through neural networks).

The content of this speech was beyond the comprehension of most scientists, and it was not until many years later that they understood the meaning of this speech.

Winning the Abel Award, in a sense, Wang Yinan can be regarded as winning half of the gold medal for avoiding death, as long as he does not die, he will basically not die in China.

However, for Wang Yinan, who is still in love, the most important task now,

Or make money, make a lot of money, and then, go to the back of the moon and take a look, take a look.

Wang Yinan, who is still in Oslo, has flown back to China with a heart, and I don't know what happened to that big thing.
