As the group left in a big way, the other tourists in the reception hall also came back to their senses.

The melon-eating masses who witnessed the whole process of the pick-up battle began to discuss.

"So many people pick up the plane, who is this young man? What's the matter? ”

"? You don't know the god of Chuanjin? ”

"Kawajin? Which celebrity little fresh meat? ”

"Stars? Little fresh meat? Don't make a fuss, as soon as you see that your academic performance is not good, those little fresh meat are not worthy of lifting shoes for him, this person has just won the highest honor in the mathematics world 'Fields Medal', before this, no Chinese person has won it. ”

"You know the other seven millennial problems, right? The prize for a puzzle is 1 million meters. Kawajin solved one and is now solving the other. ”

"What the hell? A question of a million meters of gold? Seven million RMB? ”

"This is only the Clay Institute, there are others, such as state awards or something, not to mention tens of millions of bonuses."

"Tut, if I studied hard when I was a child, I could get tens of millions of bonuses for solving a problem, which is too easy to get."

"Huh, easy to take? There are only two people who can get this bonus for seven billion in the world, so you should work honestly and move bricks, don't dream of a blue sky. ”

The Fields Medal and the Seven Millennium Puzzles may not be well known to some people, but when measured in terms of money, everyone will know the importance of the issue.

Of course, the Seven Millennium Problems are not something that can be described by a lot of money, nor can it be solved by spending money.

If it can be solved by spending money, let alone 10 million, it is 100 million, and 100 million countries are rushing to pay.

Every millennial problem is solved, bringing about scientific progress and the hope and future of civilization.

......

After getting into the car, Qin Anguo and Xu Chuan chatted.

"Professor Xu, is there a place you want to go when you come back this time? How about coming to our science and technology bu? ”

Qin Anguo smiled and pulled people, while Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't bother Minister Qin, I have already promised my alma mater and am ready to return to NTU to be a professor." ”

"It's good to teach and educate people." Qin Anguo didn't care too much, science and technology BU is actually not very suitable for young people like Xu Chuan, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences or top universities are more suitable.

After all, he is only twenty years old, and he can only enter the golden stage of his academic career, and if he really pulls science and technology to embark on the road of politics, he will have to be found above.

There has never been a shortage of people in China, but there is a shortage of top talents in the field of science.

"What's next? Continue to study the NS equation or? On the side, Academician Pan Deming interjected with a smile and asked.

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "The NS equation is one of the next research goals, and I am ready to test the water in terms of materials." ”

Pan Deming raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise: "Materials?" That's a lot of time. ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay, when I was studying at NTU before, my tutor taught me some knowledge of physical materials, and I was quite interested in this." ”

On the side, Qin Anguo explained with a smile: "It doesn't matter if the span is large, only when you are young can you be aggressive, the tungsten diselenide material synthesis method researched by Academician Chen Zhengping in the first two years has helped the country save billions of meters of gold every year." ”

"At that time, Professor Xu helped Academician Chen establish a mathematical model, analyzed the defects of the synthesis method, and gave solutions, which played a very important role in it."

He is the minister of science and technology BU, and he still has some knowledge of some of the top scientific research progress and figures in China, not to mention that before that, he also deliberately learned some information related to Xu Chuan.

Hearing this, Pan Deming glanced at Xu Chuan with some surprise.

He knew Chen Zhengping and tungsten diselenide, but he didn't know Xu Chuan's role in it.

This will listen to Qin Anguo's meaning, Xu Chuan is still the hero of the tungsten diselenide material project?

I haven't heard of him interested in materials in years, and there has never been any news about it from Princeton.

......

chatting all the way, the group soon came to the hotel where they stayed.

The hotel is not very big, but the location is excellent, next to the Forbidden City, and you can see Beihai Park and Jingshan Park when you open the window.

Such a place, used to entertain people, I am afraid that it will not be provided unless important foreign leaders come.

In the hotel, the general manager in charge of the hotel personally pulled Xu Chuan's luggage and took him to the room.

"Professor Xu, how is it here? Are you satisfied with the room environment or something? ”

Putting the luggage in the corner, the hotel manager Xia Huarong asked with a smile, and opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight suddenly filled the whole room.

Xu Chuan smiled and said politely: "Very satisfied, you are too polite." ”

Xia Huarong smiled: "Where." If there is anything else you need, just call the waiters, and they will tell me, don't worry about trouble, and serve the pillars of the motherland, which is right. ”

For today's Huaguo, ordinary talents can not enjoy such treatment, let alone be personally received by the minister of science and technology.

But Xu Chuan is different, he is the first Chinese scholar to win the Fields Medal, and he is also the top talent in today's young mathematics community, and it can even be said that he is the first person in the mathematics field.

Such a talent, let alone a first-in-command reception, is not an exaggeration to receive more important people in person.

In fact, Xu Chuan came back this time and landed in the capital instead of the magic capital, which also meant that other people wanted to meet him.

......

After having lunch in the hotel and washing the dust for Xu Chuan, Qin Anguo of the Science and Technology Information BU asked with a smile: "Professor Xu, the food is still delicious." ”

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "It's delicious." ”

"That's good, that's good." Qin Anguo said with a smile: "Then I won't bother you here for the time being, you can rest first, relieve the fatigue of the long journey, and I'll come back tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Chuan nodded, he knew what was going on tomorrow morning, and he was ready.

In the afternoon, Xu Chuan left the hotel and walked to the Forbidden City to relax, thinking about some things by the way.

On the other side, in the physics branch of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in a corner of the institute's building, members of a selection committee are sitting in an office to discuss this year's Nobel Laureate in Physics.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this year's Physics Prize winners, we need to start deliberating, the list of nominees that have been screened once before has been sent to everyone here, let's take a look at it first."

In the office, the chairman of the selection committee of the Physics Branch of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences sent the information in his hand to the other four members of the Nobel Prize selection committee in physics.

】

It's mid-August, and as is customary, the first round of the Nobel Prize in Physics is about to begin.

Each year, the Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to a maximum of three individuals and two different scientific researches. Compared with other Nobel Prizes, the selection process for the Physics Prize is longer and more rigorous.

Other disciplines may not start until September, but the first round of final selection for the physics prize will begin in August.

Of course, the selection of the Nobel Prize is much more than that.

From February 1 of each year, the Nobel Prize jury will screen and approve the recommended candidates, and the work will be kept strictly confidential.

The list of nominees is never released to the public, and the nominees themselves are not aware of their nominations. Nomination records were sealed for a period of fifty years.

It is not until August and September that the jury begins the final selection of candidates, which lasts for a month or two, and finally selects the Nobel Laureate in Physics from among the finalists by October.

The Swedish and Norwegian governments have no right to interfere in the selection of the Nobel Prize, and cannot express support for or opposition to the nominated candidates.

.......

In the office, the five members of the selection committee exchanged information with each other while browsing the information in their hands.

"For this year's Physics Prize, I recommend Professor Arthur Ashkin for his breakthrough inventions in the field of laser physics. He has done an excellent job in this area. ”

"Optical trapping and manipulation of tiny dielectric particles with optical gradient forces. Extending these studies to bacteria, viruses, and cells is a great achievement. ”

Wolfgang Ketler, a member of the selection committee with curly white hair, suggested.

On the side, another member of the selection committee nodded and said, "The breakthrough in the field of laser physics is indeed a very good achievement and worthy of selection, but if he is recommended, Professor Jerha Morrow and Professor Donna Strickland should also bring it." ”

"The contributions of these two professors in the field of laser physics are equally great, and the results of laser chirp pulse amplification are equally outstanding and worthy of recognition."

On the other side, a middle-aged and elderly man rubbed his temples with a headache, and then said, "I think we should consider the 'extended application of the xu-weyl-berry theorem', which is a greater achievement." ”

"In particular, in the past two days, the Swedish Academy of Sciences has received numerous letters recommending the 'extended application of the xu-weyl-berry theorem', including Nobel laureates such as Professor Saar Polmatt and Professor Brian Schmidt."

Hearing this, Wolfgang Ketler frowned and said, "We have already discussed him two years ago, do we want to discuss it again this year?" Although this achievement is great enough, it has only been more than three years since it appeared, which is too young and has not experienced enough time to precipitate. ”

"And he's too young, he's only twenty years old this year, and it's still a few months before he reaches twenty-one."

The rules for the Nobel Prize in Physics stipulate that the laureate's contribution must "have stood the test of time." This means that the Nobel Committee will often award a prize for a scientific discovery decades after that.

For example, half of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Subramanian Chandrasekhar for his work on the structure and evolution of stars as early as the 1930s.

The disadvantage of this approach is that many scientists with important scientific contributions die before they have a chance to be recognized for the Nobel Prize.

Therefore, if you want to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, you need not only to have significant achievements, but also to live a long time.

Hearing this, Professor George Smoot, an old man who had just spoken, retorted: "But it has already achieved enough results and has been tested, hasn't it?" ”

"Using it, we have successfully found an exoplanet that is more than 99% similar to Earth, and it has also confirmed that Betelgeuse is not a single star system, but a binary star or multiple star system."

"These achievements are singled out, and each of them deserves the physics prize, but we have ignored it for two years in a row, and the outside world is very dissatisfied with us."

Wolfgang Ketler frowned, "But he is really too young, he is only twenty years old now, and he can wait a few more years." ”

"I've been nominating since he was 18 years old, and it's only been three years now, and if the Nobel Prize were to be awarded to him this year, there would be no doubt that he would break the odds in the world to become the youngest laureate ever."

Although Nobel's will does not specify how old the laureates must be over, not everyone is happy to break the rules and set a new record in history.

Professor George Smoot immediately retorted: "Mr. Nobel has never stipulated that the Nobel Prize must be awarded to a bad old man over eighty or ninety years old. ”

"Science has always been young, and most of the great results have been made by young scholars, from Newton to Einstein to William Lawrence Bragg and Peter Higgs."

"There is no genius who has ever done great things after the age of fifty or sixty."

"We shouldn't be so biased against young geniuses."

The youngest Nobel laureate in physics in history is twenty-five-year-old William Lawrence Bragg.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with his father, Henry Bragg, for the first time to determine the extremely complex molecular structure of living matter by using X-rays to analyze the structure of protein molecules.

Coincidentally, the father and son won the award exactly three years after their results were published.

It has been three years since Xu Chuan's 'Extended Application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry Theorem' was published.

This is one of the reasons why Professor George Smoot argues with his arguments.

The three-year period has arrived.

And as an astrophysicist, Professor George Smoot is well aware of the value of an extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.

Maybe it's not much now.

However, in the era of interstellar migration, this achievement will directly lead mankind to advance in the vast universe.

.......

At a time when the selection committee members for the Nobel Prize in Physics were still arguing fiercely about whether Xu Chuan should win the prize.

Xu Chuan, who is far away in China, has spent a quiet night.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was bright, Xu Chuan got up from the bed, washed up for breakfast, and carefully tidied up his appearance.

This morning, he's going to meet a very important person.

This meeting and conversation may determine the fate of him, the whole of science, and even the future of others.

There is no room for him not to pay attention to it.
