Stockholm City Hall.

In the elegant auditorium, Xu Chuan stood on the stage with two red certificates in his arms and delivered a speech.

With elegant music playing, the Cafford Awards ceremony came to an end.

The Cafford Award ceremony has ended, but the celebration of the Cafford Award has not yet begun.

The festivities will take place in Stockholm at the Red and Blue Stop, where dinner and evening will take place.

After the party, Xu Chuan will stay in Stockholm for two days.

Because he is going to give a lecture on the Weyl-Berry conjecture and the actuarial astronomical parameter calculation method using the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.

This is the provision of the Cafford Prize.

Similar to the Nobel Prize, the winner of the Cafford Prize is required to give a public speech when receiving the medal, also known as the "Cafford Speech".

The same is true for Nobel laureates, who, after winning the Nobel Prize, are also required to give public speeches, also known as 'Nobel Prizes'.

In addition, after the presentations, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will organize an international scientific discussion on topics from the disciplines chosen for the year.

Winners will also need to participate in this discussion to discuss the future direction of the awarding discipline.

As for Xu Chuan, he won two Cafford Prizes alone, and the speech report had to be opened twice, corresponding to different disciplines.

.....

After the award ceremony, Xu Chuan walked out of the door of the auditorium with the medal certificate.

The moment he appeared at the door, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed up, and all kinds of microphones were handed over, and the equipment in the hands of the camera brother not far away was flashing.

"Hello Mr. Xu Chuan, how do you feel as the first scholar to win both the Clafford Prize in Mathematics and the Prize in Astronomy?"

"Hello Mr. Xu Chuan, I am a reporter from the BBC, can we interview you?"

"Mr. Xu Chuan......"

A swarm of media almost stuffed the microphone into Xu Chuan's mouth, and all kinds of questions came in a noisy stream.

I don't really want to be interviewed, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get over this situation without an interview.

After picking a few simple questions and answering, Xu Chuan left the venue as if he were fleeing.

But today's interview, he is destined to not be able to escape.

Media reporters from other places can run away, but this media reporter can't hide from interviews. Face, still have to be given.

......

The troublesome waiter found a quiet room, Xu Chuan sat on a chair, and opposite him was a young lady with a beautiful face and figure.

It was Yang Ma who was specially transferred from China, and was responsible for recording the whole process of awarding the Cafford Awards, as well as doing a comprehensive interview with Xu Chuan.

The Claford Prize, which is a banner for the country's basic science.

After all, no one in China has ever won this award at present.

Basic science has always been a relatively weak field in China, but being weak does not mean that it will not develop.

Although the Cafford Prize is not as important as the Nobel Prize, it still carries considerable weight in the field of science.

Such an international award, not to mention the miracle of winning two awards in the same year, is to win one of them alone, or even share it with others, as long as the winner is a Chinese scholar, it is worth arranging someone to make a special trip.

Compared with other honors, this is the first time that a young scholar of Chinese nationality has raised his voice on such an occasion. He proved to the world that the younger generation in China can also produce outstanding young scholars.

"Hello Mr. Xu Chuan, I'm Sun Yutong, a reporter from CTV, and I thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to accept our interview."

"The interview may take up a little time, so I'm sorry for you."

The beautiful reporter with a delicate face showed a smile with a strong affinity, and her voice was also good.

This reminded Xu Chuan of a meme on the Internet: 'Sure enough, all the good-looking ones have been handed over to the state.' ’

"No trouble." Xu Chuan showed a standard smile, no matter what, in the face of beautiful things, people's mood is always happy, even if it is limited to appearance.

Sun Yutong pursed his lips and smiled, "Then let's start now, this time you won the Clafford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy, can you talk about your feelings and mood?" What do you think is the significance and value of this award to you? ”

"When I first received the call to win the award, I was really surprised, and even a little incredulous."

"After all, never before in the history of the Clafford Prize has two different awards been given to the same person in the same year, or even in different years."

"But when it's ...... confirmed"

Xu Chuan expressed some of his thoughts in a proper manner, and thanked his parents, the motherland, and all the names he could think of.

After all, it is a formal interview with Yang Ma.

Sun Yutong smiled and then asked, "Before we came, we learned a little about your xu-weyl-berry theorem and the results you have made with it in the astronomical community, and many well-known scientists have said that this is an epoch-making achievement for the astronomical community. What do you think about this? ”

Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you very much for their high evaluation of this achievement, from the current point of view, this is indeed a very good tool, which can help us better understand the situation of some distant celestial bodies." ”

"For example, through this tool, we can understand the life status of a star, to determine whether it has stable periodic activity, to determine whether there is a habitable planet around it, and so on."

"These are still very important for the future of mankind."

Hearing this, Sun Yutong immediately asked, "Do you mean that the future of this achievement lies in the interstellar era?" ”

Xu Chuan looked at the beautiful reporter with some surprise, nodded, and said, "It can be said that after all, only by sailing in the sea of stars, the greatest value of this tool can be reflected." ”

Sun Yutong: "Then when do you think we will be able to truly sail on the sea of stars?" ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "It depends on when the controlled nuclear fusion technology can be developed.......

“......”

......

Like the Nobel Prize, the Crawford Prize ceremony was followed by a grand celebration.

The celebration was held in the same format as the Nobel Prize and was held in the Blue Room of Stockholm City Hall.

This hall, which is theoretically not completely completed, has hosted countless grand banquets since then.

Whether it's the Knoll Prize, or the Crawford Prize, or any other award, or something important.

Every year, renowned scientists from all over the world gather here to receive awards. Therefore, when you are in it, you can naturally feel a calm, atmospheric light of wisdom.

Perhaps because it has never been invaded by the country on which the sun never sets, Sweden still retains the almost original etiquette and customs of its own nobility.

Dinners such as the Nobel Prize and the Clafford Prize are not like dinners in Britain and Malaysia, where you can wander around with a plate and make new friends.

The dinner of these major ceremonies is more like a domestic extended banquet, including the configuration of wine and food on the table, the way of serving, eating, and furnishing the wine and food, etc., all have strict regulations.

However, the party and dance party after the dinner party are not so particular.

At the party and dance, Xu Chuan saw a lot of familiar people.

For example, his three mentors, Chen Zhengping, Deligne, and Witten, these three mentors are getting together and don't know what they are communicating.

There were also Professor Tao Zhexuan who came from California, Professor Artur Avila who came from Brazil, and even some physicists who came from Brazil, all greeted him one by one and congratulated him.

Holding a wine glass, Xu Chuan walked in the venue, and from time to time someone would come up to introduce himself and clink glasses with him.

For this, Xu Chuan is here to refuse, and it is always good to make more friends.

"Congratulations, Xu Chuan."

In the ballroom, a half-haired old man walked over with a wine glass.

"Academician Pan, your old man is here too." Xu Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

This old man's name is Pan Deming, he is an academician of mathematics at Peking University, belongs to the earliest group of mathematicians in the country, and has participated in various secret projects of the state (once), such as he once made missiles with Qian Lao and sent satellites to the sky, etc., which makes people very respectful.

"I thought I wouldn't see Chinese people get this medal in my lifetime, but I didn't expect NTU to have a good student."

Standing beside Xu Chuan, Academician Pan Deming said with emotion.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Your elder will live for a hundred years, and there are many things you can see in the future." ”

Pan Deming smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Enough, enough." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Please be considerate of Mo Kun's matter before, Peking University can't stand you." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan hurriedly said: "You are serious, this is just his personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with Peking University, not to mention that he has already been punished." ”

Pan Deming smiled, skipped the matter and asked, "How many years are you going to study at Princeton?" ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "It's two or three years in the shortest, four or five years in the long, I still have a lot to learn." ”

Pan Deming smiled and patted his hand, and said, "It's good to learn more knowledge, you are not nineteen this year, even if it is another four or five years, it will only be twenty-three or four." ”

After a pause, the old man then asked, "Will you be a professor at Princeton or will you come back?" ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "Of course I'm back." ”

Hearing this, Pan Deming's cloudy eyes brightened up by two points, and he smiled: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

He did not invite Xu Chuan to become a professor at Peking University after he returned.

Although he has been away from academia for a long time, he also knows that the current Peking University is not suitable.

Mo Kun is a student of Tian Gang of the School of Mathematics of Peking University, and Mo Kun plagiarized Xu Chuan, Peking University did not stand up for the first time to thoroughly investigate the results, so it announced Mo Kun's remarks first.

】

Although this is a method that all major universities will do, there is no doubt that the sense left by Peking University to Xu Chuan will definitely not be very good.

At this point in time, to invite others to serve as professors at Peking University, what do other people think? Square peg.

Rather than using the little friendship you have left, it's better to wait for later.

In his eyes, the young genius must have other achievements in the future.

Maybe some mathematics reports will be held in China, although the first order must be to choose NTU, but Peking University should also have the opportunity to rub one or two.

Of course, for Pan Deming, what is more important is that as long as Xu Chuan comes back, it doesn't matter where he will be a professor in the future.

He had a hunch that this teenager's achievements in the future would definitely not be low.

It may even be higher than the majestic figure when he participated in the Dongfeng project.

.......

Pan Deming came over to say hello and left, while Xu Chuan wandered around the ball.

On the dance floor, all kinds of people dance to classical music with elegant movements. However, Xu Chuan didn't have much intention of getting involved.

He knows some of this kind of ballroom dancing, after all, he has experienced so many parties and balls in his previous life, and he can learn a little bit without learning it.

It's just that as a Chinese, dancing has never been imprinted into his bones, and compared with the openness of Western countries, the Chinese still have to be a lot more conservative after all.

So if he can't jump, Xu Chuan will try his best to avoid the ladies who invite him to dance, if he can't avoid it, there is no way.

.......

The next morning, at the entrance of the Mathematics Branch of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the flags of Sweden and China were fluttering.

The red flag and the blue and yellow flag flutter in the breeze.

The national flag hung on it is not random, only when the Krafoord Prize or the Nobel Prize, which are awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, will the national flag of the winner be hung.

Although this is not the first time that the Chinese flag has been hung here, Professor Tu and Mr. Mo Yan, who won the Nobel Prize, had let the flag fly here in 2012 and 2015.

But this is the first time that the flag has been raised for the Cratford Prize.

Looking at the national flag fluttering in the wind, Xu Chuan's heart also rippled and beat.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Chuan walked into the lecture hall of the Mathematics Branch of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

As a lecture hall dedicated to Nobel Prize scholars, the lecture hall is naturally extremely spacious, and can even accommodate thousands of people at the same time.

But at this moment, the huge lecture hall is already extremely crowded.

Not only were the seats full, but the corridors between the seats were also filled with not only scientists and students, but also Swedish citizens who were attracted to it.

A Cafford Prize winner who is not yet 19 years old, and who is also the unprecedented winner of the Cafford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy, is of great interest.

As the main speaker of the Clafford Prize academic conference, Xu Chuan, dressed in a formal suit and tie, walked up to the lecture stage from the side of the podium and launched an hour-long report centered on the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture and the application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.

This is a math report, and the core around it is naturally math.

And tomorrow, he will have an astronomy report session, which will focus on the observation of celestial information in the Betelgeuse tetrahydrogen envelope, and the method of calculating actuarial parameters.
