Chapter 213: Senior Sister's Thoughts
After the staff called the police, the Brazilian police quickly arrived.
A Fields Medalist had his medal stolen, and it had just been awarded, and it hadn't been 30 minutes since it was in his hands, and it hadn't been warmed up.
It's not big or small.
To put it more broadly, this is a loss of face for the country, which shows that the country's security capacity and public security situation are not good.
At worst, it's just an ordinary theft.
Is there less of this kind of petty theft in Brazil? I don't know how many times it happens every day.
It's just that this time is a bit special, stealing a medal just issued by a Fields Medal at the International Mathematical Conference, and losing face to the world.
Although the police arrived, they did not have the ability to catch the thief quickly.
If someone has the courage to steal your medal at the conference, they will run away after stealing it.
The briefcase that was thrown out, and the empty wallet or something, is proof of that.
The Brazilian police rushed over, but it was just a matter of going through the process and recording the incident, as for whether the medal mobile phone can be retrieved or something, it depends on luck.
In this case, the International Mathematical Union could not do anything, and the members of the committee discussed after the police report, and if the final medal could not be recovered, a special ceremony would be held to re-award the unfortunate winner.
Professor Cowchel Birkar laughed and said that if he could not be found, he would probably be the first person in history to win two Fields Medals.
......
The old thing of reincarnation happened again, Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to it, and after watching the excitement, he walked towards the outside of the venue while dealing with other scholars who came around to talk.
Let's go have lunch first, he still has something to do in the afternoon, before Pan Deming Pan Lao made an appointment with him after the opening ceremony, saying that there was something to discuss, but he didn't say what it was, only said that it was very important, please be sure to set aside time.
Xu Chuan still admires this old man who has dedicated his life to the country, and immediately agreed to the request.
But as soon as he walked out of the venue, he was blocked again.
This time, it was not mathematicians, astronomers and other scholars who blocked him, but major media.
"Professor Xu Chuan, how do you feel about winning the Fields Medal at the age of twenty, breaking Professor Jean-Pierre Serre's world record of twenty-seven?"
"Professor Xu, as the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor, how do you feel at this moment?"
"Professor Xu Chuan, will you choose to return to China to serve, or will you stay in the United States with a better academic environment?"
"Professor Xu Chuan......"
Seeing him appear at the door, the reporters waiting there swarmed up, and all kinds of microphones were about to be stuffed into his mouth.
Of course, he is not the only one who is blocked, there are also many reporters on Schultz and Akshayin's side, but on the whole, there are not as many as on his side.
On the side of Professor Gauchel Birkall, because of the theft of the Fields medal just now, the reporters around him were on par with him.
At the International Congress of Mathematics, the theft of the medallion of the Fields Medal winner is a hot and eye-catching thing, and it is perfectly fine to report it as a headline.
In the face of these crazy reporters, not only Xu Chuan has a headache, but Schultz is also annoying.
The mathematicians who can win the Fields Medal can be said to be top scholars who can calm down and do research, and they are really irritated in the face of these omnidirectional journalists.
Don't look at his brilliance this time, overshadowing the two Fields Medal winners of Aksa Yin and Cowchel, making them look less remarkable.
But the mathematicians who can win the Philippine Prize, let alone put it in one country, are the top people in the world.
As long as they want, no matter which country or institute they go to, no one will refuse.
If you are hired by some research institute, the annual salary of 10 million yuan can be said to be the starting price.
If you are a Filipino Prize winner like Professor Avila Artur in the previous edition, it is not a problem to double or triple her annual salary.
This year's International Congress of Mathematics can be held in Brazil, the southern hemisphere, and Professor Avila Artur has also made a lot of contributions.
Of course, Brazil's local powertrain math is also strong and this is a factor.
......
After spending his strength to get rid of these reporters surrounding him, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and entered the hotel to prepare for a bite to eat, and by the way, he found his former friends to catch up.
In June and July, he did not return to Jinling or go to Nanda, and missed the agreement with Kong Zhong and a few people to see them off.
When the International Mathematics Conference was held, he made a special call to the dean of the school, Rong Zhizhuan, and asked him to help bring a few friends, as well as Liu Jiaxin and others.
Although Kong Zhongjia was a few students in the Department of Physics, it was a little strange to participate in the International Mathematical Conference, but if he opened his mouth, Dean Rong would definitely agree.
What's more, it is not only traditional mathematicians who participate in this International Mathematical Congress, but also many astronomers and astrophysicists.
A few students from NTU brought in to increase their knowledge.
Xu Chuan originally wanted to pay for the travel and accommodation of several friends by himself, but Nanda refused.
Airfare accommodation for a few people, it doesn't cost much.
If Xu Chuan returns to China, there is a certain probability that he will return to NTU to conduct research and become a professor.
A local Fields Medal winner is a professor at NTU, and NTU's math school is not allowed to go directly to heaven.
Rong Zhizhuan has already submitted an application to expand the School of Mathematics.
In the past, it was said that it was a number of hospitals, which was a good reputation and unworthy of its name.
In the past, NTU only had one mathematics department, and there were not many mathematics students who could be enrolled, only more than 100 students a year.
But with this expansion, there is not just one department of applied mathematics, but many other departments of mathematics can be added, and there are more than a few students enrolled each year.
Of course, this is also a troublesome thing, it is not so easy, students, professors, qualifications, teaching environment, instruments and equipment have to be done, and it will not be possible to do it in a year or two.
Originally, NTU was not qualified to apply for the expansion of the Academy, after all, the qualifications were not enough, and the Academy had no reputation or results.
But Xu Chuan, a demonic genius, won the first Chinese Fields Medal at the age of 20, and his influence was too great.
What's more, maybe he will return to NTU as a professor in the future.
The school where a Filipino Prize winner is located is still only a mathematics department, not a mathematics school, which is also too chilling.
Thanks to Xu Chuan's blessing, NTU was able to successfully complete the reform of the Department of Mathematics.
In this case, how could Rong Zhizhuan let Xu Chuan pay for it himself.
......
Coming to the cafeteria organized by the International Mathematical Congress, Xu Chuan glanced at it and saw the NTU team sitting in the most conspicuous position.
Although there are no other mathematicians from NTU who can be invited to give presentations at the mathematics conference, there are no fewer people from NTU than from Peking University this time.
There were a lot of people, and this time there were more than a dozen of them.
President Liu Gaojun, Dean Rong Zhizhuan, Professor Zhou Hai, friend Kong Zhongsan, senior sister Liu Jiaxin, etc., are among them.
】
Xu Chuan walked over with a smile on his face, and everyone soon saw him.
"Brother Chuan!"
"Kawajin!"
"God of Chuan!"
Seeing Xu Chuan, Kong Zhong, Fan Hong, and Zhou Lin stood up and ran over excitedly, each of them was called one by one, and everyone present laughed.
Brother Chuan and the god of Sichuan or something, forget it, the god of Sichuan has come out.
But no one has any ideas, at the age of 20, he proved Hodge's conjecture and won the Fields Medal, isn't this the god of mathematics?
Xu Chuan smiled and shouted that the Sichuan God Kong punched him, and said with a smile: "The Sichuan God has come out, this is also outrageous." ”
Kong Zhong grinned: "At the age of 20, he proved Hodge's conjecture and won the Fields Medal, isn't this the god of mathematics?" Kawajin? It's no longer enough for your old man. ”
Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile, said hello to the three friends, and came to the side of the Nanda team.
Now is not the time to catch up, the principal, leaders, and mentors of the school are all here, so we have to come over and say hello first.
"Hello President Liu, good Dean Rong, good tutor, good Professor Zhou, senior sister, good students."
Xu Chuan didn't say hello one by one, there were too many people, and it was enough to greet the main body once.
"Amazing, twenty-year-old Fields Medal winner, Professor Xu." Chen Zhengping patted Xu Chuan's shoulder and teased with a smile.
Although it is inevitable to win the Fields Medal after proving Hodge's conjecture, at the age of twenty, breaking the historical record and even brushing it forward for nearly two years is too exaggerated.
Moreover, he, a student, was a halfway monk to study mathematics, and he could have been focusing on physics before.
This talent, Newton Gauss is afraid that it is nothing more than that.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Mentor, don't make fun of me." ”
"You are the glory of the school now, and I can't wait to hang the banner of your Filipino Award for a year and a half."
Beside him, Rong Zhizhuan, the dean of the Academy, also walked over and said with a smile.
This time, he may have to move his position, and the position of vice principal can be taken a look.
"It's okay to hang up, but this year and a half, isn't it a bit too exaggerated." Xu Chuan responded with a smile.
On the side, Professor Zhou Hai of the Academy of Mathematics said with a smile: "Exaggerated? Not an exaggeration at all! ”
"The first Chinese Fields Medal, the age of breaking the historical record, I have proposed to the school, and we are also going to have a Hall of Fame like Princeton, and you are the first person in the Hall of Fame."
Although Xu Chuan is a student of Chen Zhengping, he taught mathematics in college, rounding it up, and he also has a Filipino student.
Maybe after Rong Zhi moves his position, he can also compete with the dean of the Academy.
Of course, if Xu Chuan returns to NTU, as long as he wants it, the position of dean of the Academy of Sciences will definitely be given to him.
However, Zhou Hai estimated that Xu Chuan would not care about this, at the age of 20, his heart was probably still academic, and he took the position of the dean of several colleges, which delayed his academic future.
On the side, Principal Liu Gaojun also smiled and said: "I agree with this, the Fields Medal winner will definitely be inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is a reputation that has been passed down through the ages." ”
The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, he was only 20 years old.
Entering the Hall of Fame, how does this sound like a place for a bad old man?
But the Princeton-like kind doesn't matter.
Those who can enter the Princeton Hall of Fame have either won the Fields Medal or the Nobel Prize, and they are all truly top scholars.
Of course, NTU will definitely not be able to make up such a lineup, but if he is a Filipino Award winner, the grade of this Hall of Fame will not be low.
Didn't you see that the tears of envy of the students of Southern University who followed behind to make soy sauce were about to flow out of their saliva?
There is such a thing as the Hall of Fame, but once you enter it, it can be passed down through the ages.
At least on the campus of NTU, there are gods who are worshipped.
The one in front of him, who was only twenty years old, entered directly, no, it can even be said that the Nanda Hall of Fame was built because of him.
This is really enviable.
"Senior sister, long time no see." After smiling and saying hello to the school's leaders, Xu Chuan took a seat.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, next to his seat is Senior Sister Liu Jiaxin.
"Congratulations, you've won the Fields Medal." The senior sister was still as quiet as ever, she was the first to see Xu Chuan coming over, but she just stood up and didn't run over like other classmates.
"Thanks, how are you applying to Princeton?" Xu Chuan asked with a smile.
It's August, and applications for Princeton's spring semester are ready to be submitted, and in another month, by September, tutors will start looking at the application forms and other selected students.
"It's all processed, and the application has been submitted." The senior sister replied quietly, with these joys in her voice.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "What about the mentor, have you ever inspected the mentor in Princeton, if so, I'll tell you, don't worry about anything, it's very important to choose a good mentor during the doctorate, which can affect your life." ”
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin pursed her lips, looked at Xu Chuan again, and whispered, "I want to apply for your students and study with you." ”
