"The Natural Sciences Prize can also be awarded a grand prize? I mean, this year there was a grand prize!"

"The grand prize has never been awarded, has it?"

"This should be the first time in history!"

"But Wang Hao really deserves this award, his research achievements in the field of mathematics are too much, and they are too big, NS equations, Goldbach conjecture ......"

……

When the leader who announced the award said the words "Grand Prize, three words, the venue couldn't suppress the exclamation and discussion."

The Natural Science Award is divided into two categories: the first prize and the second prize.

There is also a special provision for the award that a special prize may be awarded to a citizen who has made a particularly significant scientific discovery or technological invention, or a citizen or organization that has completed a scientific and technological engineering project of special significance and made outstanding contributions.

There is such a rule, but since the establishment of the Prize, no Grand Prize has ever been awarded.

Now the sudden announcement of the special prize in natural sciences has shocked many people, and some people also sighed in surprise, "This time the jury has done a good job of secrecy measures." ”

The first appearance of the Grand Prize was truly amazing.

At the same time, awarding Wang Hao the Special Prize in Natural Sciences is definitely a very significant affirmation.

The significance of this award is even greater than that of the highest science and technology award, because the highest science and technology award is awarded every year, and each year there are two winners, while the special prize in natural science has never been awarded.

Wang Hao became the first winner in history, and he may be the only winner in the next ten years.

When the award was announced, others couldn't help but discuss, "This grand prize is so rare, some years even the first prize in natural sciences will be vacant, let alone the grand prize." ”

"It's also right to award Wang Hao the grand prize, his achievements are indeed much better than others."

"Taking the results of mathematics as a comparison, Mr. Chen Jingrun also won the first prize in natural science, but he only came close to proving Goldbach's conjecture, and did not fully prove it."

"Wang Hao proved Goldbach's conjecture, not to mention, the more significant NS equation!"

"That's ...... true"

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Wang Hao slowly stood up, he was really a little caught off guard, and at the same time, he felt very excited in his heart.

It was the first time he had heard that he had won the award.

He had won major awards before, but neither he was particularly excited when he won the Chern Prize in Mathematics, last year's first prize in natural sciences, or this year's Fields Medal.

That's probably because he already knew that he had won the award, and even if he was excited to know that he had won the award, when it was time to present the award, his emotions had long passed.

Now it was very unexpected, as if it was sudden, and it won a very heavy award.

The significance of this award is very significant.

Because in history, there has never been a special prize in natural sciences, and he will be the first person to win this award.

The first person in the country!

Wang Hao suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked towards the aisle, the person next to him gave way to his position, and he patted his arm when he walked by, and said all kinds of congratulatory voices.

Wang Hao didn't even forget to respond, and just walked towards the rostrum step by step.

The applause continued.

In the warm applause, Wang Hao walked onto the rostrum, turned to face the audience, and accepted the leader's award with excitement.

Holding the medal and certificate, he pursed his lips vigorously in front of the audience.

At this time, the leader of the award ceremony sighed and said, "Professor Wang, congratulations. When we were talking, we all said that you have reached the pinnacle of mathematics, that you are the best mathematician in 100 years, and that you deserve this award. ”

"You're still young, and you're still representing the future. We look forward to your scientific research results."

"Thank you!"

Wang Hao thanked him very hard.

After the award leader finished speaking, he gave up his position.

Wang Hao naturally knew what to do next, he faced the audience and said, "I know, I should say the acceptance speech now, but I am really excited, and I am not prepared." ”

He showed off his medals and certificates, and then said, "The grand prize, I didn't expect it at all, this award is very heavy, very heavy!"

When Wang Hao said this, the scene had become quiet.

He put down the medals and certificates in his hand and continued, "Standing here now, I feel a lot of pressure. Come to think of it, I became the only winner of the Grand Prize in Natural Sciences. When I go out, maybe everything I say will become extremely important. ”

"I can imagine that kind of scenario, for example, I said, "1 plus 1 equals 3", someone spread this sentence, saying that it was Wang Hao who said it, that is Wang Hao, who won the special prize in natural science, can he still be wrong about what he said?"

"Then, 1 plus 1 equals 3, it may be accepted by some people, and even say, many people don't even dare to refute it."

"I mean, everything I say about math in the future will probably be taken as a wise saying."

"It's going to be a lot of pressure, and I feel like I'm going to have to be careful when I talk about it in the future."

Many people in the audience laughed when they heard it.

They pondered it carefully, and it was really the truth.

This is no joke.

When you are really standing on a high ground, what you say occasionally may be taken seriously, especially if it is related to your own field.

Now Wang Hao is the top mathematician.

What he said in mathematics is rarely directly refuted, and even if it is wrong, some people may think deeply.

Wang Hao continued, "I remembered a few years ago, when I was unknown, just a recent Ph.D., and I never thought I would win any awards. ”

"I walked step by step, and the whole process felt really difficult, I continued to do research almost every day, and there was only one thing in my mind - research."

"However, I'm happy because I'm doing what I love."

"Mathematics is the foundation of the development of all disciplines, and the study of mathematical theory is very important.

"I hope that in the future, more people will devote themselves to the research of mathematical foundations and lay a solid foundation for the development of science."

"Thank you!"

After Wang Hao said a few words with excitement, he ended his acceptance speech, he was not mentally prepared for winning the grand prize, and he did not prepare his acceptance speech at all.

Everything is improvised.

He just spoke what was in his heart.

After finishing speaking, Wang Hao bowed politely and walked back to his position under the applause, he felt that he was very sincere, and he did get fierce applause from the audience.

Many people in the audience felt a little uncomfortable when they substituted for themselves, and they heard Wang Hao say that he "had a very difficult journey all the way."

How old is Wang Haocai

Not yet twenty-seven years old!

There are many people in the audience who are already in their seventies and eighties, and they have worked hard all their lives in scientific research positions before they have the opportunity to come to this venue, and they can only get a small award.

They feel like they're called "very, very hard."

Wang Hao's kind should be called ......

Plain sailing!

……

After Wang Hao returned to his seat, the award ceremony continued.

This year's first prize in natural sciences is vacant, and the second prize in natural sciences will be awarded next.

The second prize in natural science is only to announce the winning projects, and there is no corresponding award ceremony.

After that, the first prize for scientific and technological progress was awarded.

The research project of the physics laboratory was ranked second to receive the award, and He Yi and Xiang Qiansheng walked on the podium on behalf of the laboratory, and the two of them were even more excited than Wang Hao.

Whether it is He Yi or Xiang Qiansheng, it is the first time to stand on such a high stage.

He Yi even cried excitedly, Xiang Qiansheng behaved relatively well, but his face was flushed and obviously very excited.

The reaction from the audience was much more flat.

Many people think that He Yi and Xiang Qiansheng are very lucky.

If it were someone else, following Wang Hao to do research, it is estimated that he would also be able to win the award, because the theoretical work was obviously completed by Wang Hao, and it is precisely because of the theoretical research work that the project of the physics laboratory can win the award.

When thinking of this, many young scholars thought about whether they should go to Xihai University and cooperate with Wang Haoyi to conduct research, maybe they could also win the first prize of scientific and technological progress?

Even if you don't go to Xihai University, you can cooperate with Wang Hao!

A top-notch mathematician, especially an expert in mathematical analysis, is very, very important for any research project.

The award presentation is over.

Good multimedia also made an instant report, and there was a lot of discussion about Wang Hao winning the special prize in natural sciences, and most people thought that he deserved this award.

"Wang Hao's mathematical achievements are too many, and if he still wins the first prize in natural science, I feel that he is not at the same level as other winners."

"He is the first Fields laureate in China, and he is likely to win the Nobel Prize in the future.

"It's a matter of course to win the Grand Prize in Natural Sciences now"

"The grand prize is awarded to an individual, and it is just right to award it to Wang Hao."

"If there is anyone who is comparable to Wang Hao's achievements and wins the special prize in natural science, there will naturally be no problem."

At the same time, Wang Hao also accepted an on-site interview with reporters, "I was very surprised and surprised when I heard the news of the award. ”

"I knew that I could win the Natural Science Award, and everyone else said that it was the first prize, but I didn't expect it to be the grand prize, and when it was announced, I was a little caught off guard."

The reporter asked, "Now that you have won the special prize in natural science, what do you say to others?"

Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "I'll still say the sentence of the acceptance speech, I hope that more scholars can devote themselves to the research of mathematical theory." ”

"Math is important, and math is beautiful, and it's fascinating."

The reporter obviously did not understand the beauty of mathematics, and he quickly changed the topic, "Can you talk about antigravity and superconductivity research?" This is the most popular content right now. “

"For example?"

"For example, anti-gravity, many people are concerned about anti-gravity technology, when will it be able to be applied?"

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Anti-gravity, for the time being, it still belongs to the future technology, this technology is very imperfect now, we can only create anti-gravity space through experiments, but the cost of each experiment is very high, and the time to achieve anti-gravity is very short." ”

"I think if anti-gravity wants to be applied, the premise is that superconducting technology can be applied on a large scale."

The reporter continued to ask, "So when will superconducting technology be applied on a large scale?"

Wang Hao said, "If superconductivity wants to achieve large-scale application, it is still necessary to make a breakthrough in the technical direction, for example, it is very direct to manufacture higher-temperature superconducting materials." ”

"In the technology of superconductivity, the critical temperature of superconducting materials is directly related, and every ten degrees of critical temperature increases, the application range of the technology will increase exponentially."

"I've been doing theoretical research."

"I hope that the theory can support the improvement of technology, and I also hope that as soon as possible, the technology can have a greater breakthrough......

……

The awards are finally over.

Wang Hao did not leave the capital, but went to Mizuki University the next day to find Bilkar.

Just like Bilkar went to Xihai University, Wang Hao also went directly to Shuimu University, he walked into the university with Bilkar, and they walked while talking.

Wang Hao brought a hat, but he was not recognized by several people, but the people who recognized it still exclaimed, but fortunately he did not bother directly.

Wang Hao and Bill Karl went to an office building, and they went to the office to talk about recent research.

"My research is stuck at a bottleneck."

Wang Hao first said, "I've been thinking about how to continue, I need to find the next direction of inspiration." ”

Bill Carlton felt a sense of sympathy, "Me too." Since I came back here, I don't have any ideas, and I don't know why, but when I discuss issues with you, I always feel like I have a lot of ideas. ”

He looked at Wang Hao with that very urgent look.

Wang Hao was chilled by the look, but fortunately he knew that Bill Carl had a family, and he asked, "I only know that you are doing research on the minimum model program, can you tell me more about it?"

Bilkar nodded, "I'm working on a singularity problem for a minimal model program......"

He elaborated.

Bierkar's research area is double rational geometry, with a special focus on the theoretical study of it as well as the singularity problem.

When it comes to related research, Wang Hao feels a little out of rhythm, he also has research on algebraic geometry, but he has not studied such in-depth problems.

Mathematics, the scope is too broad.

Algebraic geometry is enough for a person to study for a lifetime.

In fact, from the field that Birkar is good at, we can get a glimpse of how extensive mathematics is, algebraic geometry includes double rational geometry, and there is an important area of double rational geometry called the minimalist program.

In the minimalist program, there is a problem called the Borisov-Alexeev-Borisov conjecture.

In a 130-page paper, Birkar proved the Borisov-Alexeev-Borisov conjecture, that is, "the boundedness of a class of Fano algebraic clusters with singularities".

He then won the Fields Medal.

Therefore, the program of the minimalist model alone is enough for the top genius to study for a lifetime, and the scope of double rational geometry is even greater, and I don't know how many mathematicians are exploring this field.

Expanding to algebraic geometry, there are several mathematicians who have won the Fields Medal for their research in algebraic geometry.

Wang Hao didn't have the energy to study the minimalist program, he couldn't finish his own research, and listening to Bilkar's explanation, he felt that some of the content couldn't keep up with the understanding.

Algebraic geometry is not his area of expertise, but only one area in which he hopes to increase the breadth of his knowledge.

He specializes in number theory and partial differential equations.

If you want to master algebraic geometry, even if you rely on lectures and research, it will take at least several years.

He is not interested in research in this area for the time being.

The study of algebraic geometry now, for him, was only a means to complete the theory of semi-topology.

When the two were talking, Qiu Chengwen suddenly came over, he hurriedly entered the office, and said, "Wang Hao, you came so suddenly, if it wasn't for other people, I wouldn't know." ”

He continued, "Congratulations on winning the Grand Prize in Natural Sciences!"

"Thank you!"

Wang Hao and Qiu Chengwen exchanged a few words.

Qiu Chengwen sat down and took a long breath, he was very worried when he heard that Wang Hao came to find Birkal.

He was in his seventies.

In the past ten years, he has devoted himself to the cause of education, hoping to develop domestic mathematics.

The development of mathematics in China should also be divided into colleges and universities.

He thinks that he is not great enough, and regards all colleges and universities as a family, and regards them as the development of mathematics in China.

Mathematicians are not only national, but also "university-belonging".

Qiu Chengwen hopes to develop his own mathematics center, so he works hard to tap talents everywhere, Bill Carr is the talent he values the most, a Fields medalist in his forties, whether in research or education, can bring great improvement to the mathematics center.

Now he is very worried that Bill Karl will go to Seohai University to develop.

If it was someone else, Qiu Chengwen wouldn't worry about it at all, but it would be different if it was Wang Hao.

All three are Fields winners.

Qiu Chengwen has to admit that Wang Hao is stronger than both of them, and even better than most of the Fields winners.

Fields winners are also scored as high and low.

Some Fields winners are just Fields whose research results have just been rubbed off; Some of the winners went far beyond Fields.

Bilkar, does not necessarily belong to the former, but certainly not to the latter.

Wang Hao clearly belongs to the latter.

In addition, Wang Hao is only in his twenties, and he has a long scientific career ahead of him, and many people want to do research with him, and Bilkar will not be an exception.

Of course, Qiu Chengwen definitely couldn't express his worries, he just listened to the two of them talking about professional issues.

Finally waiting for the discussion to stop, he suddenly asked Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, why are you studying this issue?" Algebraic geometry shouldn't be your main direction."

"This is related to my follow-up research on the superconducting mechanism."

Qiu Chengwen nodded after hearing this, of course he knew that Wang Hao was studying the theory of superconductivity, so he still gave a suggestion and said, "I think that if you study the theory of superconductivity, it may not be from your geometric point of view." “

"Oh," Wang Hao listened with interest.

"I've seen your theory, and the angle is really novel, but, in my opinion, your theory is imperfect, because you don't have a connection to particles, that is, quantum physics problems."

Wang Hao listened and nodded, his research was indeed the case, but he only studied one direction, and did not cover everything.

Even if the theory of semi-topology is perfected, if we want to explain the microscopic morphology of complex molecules, it may still be related to the particle problem, especially the microscopic morphological topological process, which must be related to the mainstream theory of condensation physics.

Qiu Chengwen continued, "Have you ever thought about studying the Yang-Mills equation?"

"Why?" Wang Hao frowned slightly, he hadn't thought about the Yang-Mills equation at all.

Qiu Chengwen said, "Because of your annihilation theory, I believe you must not have given up this theory." ”

"However, if you want to prove the annihilation theory, you have to study quantum physics, and you have to connect with the Standard Model of particles, and the Yang-Mills equation is the basis for the construction of the Standard Model of particles."

"Also, the Young-Mills equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation, and I've always felt that you are the best person to study the Young-Mills equation."

Qiu Chengwen said it with sincerity.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully, this is indeed the case, he is good at partial differential equations, and he also hopes to explore the theory of annihilation, and the topology of the microscopic form in the superconducting mechanism is directly related to the existence of annihilation force.

It is indeed a good direction to study from the perspective of the Yang-Mills equation.

Wang Hao nodded suddenly, "That's true, I'll think about it carefully when I go back." ”

Qiu Chengwen suddenly smiled, he gave Wang Hao a very good proposal, if Wang Hao concentrates on studying the Yang-Mills equation, it must have nothing to do with algebraic geometry.

At that time, Birkar would not be needed for research, because the Young-Mills equation and algebraic geometry were two completely unrelated fields.

At this time, I heard Wang Hao say to Bierkar seriously, "Kauchel, I have applied for a key project, and I have also reported your name." ”

"We can work on this project together, and we have applied for 20 million in research grants, and when the time comes, we will study together."

Bilkar nodded expectantly, "I'm looking forward to it." “

Although he is a Fields winner, he is also a person who needs to live, and the total funds are 20 million, and some of them will definitely be distributed to him.

That's the extra big income.

Qiu Chengwen grinned when he heard this, and quickly asked, "Wang Hao, you don't consider the Yang-Mills equation?"

"Why not?" Wang Hao asked suspiciously.

Qiu Chengwen continued to ask puzzled, "Then why are you still doing this research?" And also applied for the project ......"

"Can't the two be together?"

Wang Hao asked rhetorically, puzzled, "Doing research together from two directions will definitely be more comprehensive, Professor Qiu, thank you for your advice, if it weren't for you, I really didn't expect it." ”

Qiu Chengwen's smile froze on his face.

Of course, it is possible to study the two directions together, but how can ordinary scholars have the energy to study the complex Yang-Mills equation while also doing the study of topology construction?

Partial Differential Equations, Quantum Physics, Algebraic Geometry, Topology......

Putting all this content together, won't the brain blow up?
