Chapter 232: Nobel Prize in Mathematics

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, a group of people coaxed Xu Chuan to invite guests out for supper to celebrate.

Xu Chuan smiled and agreed, winning the Nobel Prize is a great joy for anyone.

Not to mention a late-night snack, even a month's supper is nothing.

But before that, he had to call home.

He didn't know about others, but his parents and sister, he knew, even if it was late at night, they were definitely still waiting for his call.

Holding his mobile phone, Xu Chuan found the familiar number from the address book and dialed it.

It took several seconds for the bell to ring.

"Hey, Chuan'er." On the other end, a familiar voice came from the phone, the voice was excited and a little trembling.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Dad, I haven't slept yet." ”

"Everyone in the village is celebrating at home, where are you sleeping, what are you doing today, you can't get through the phone when you win the award, everyone calls home."

Speaking of what happened today, Father Xu's face was full of excitement and his face flushed. There is not only the upper head after drinking a little wine, but also the excitement and pride.

Although he didn't read any books and only graduated from junior high school, he also knew about the Nobel Prize.

This is the most famous award in the world, I didn't think that his Xu family could produce such a great mathematician!

No, it should be said that it is a great physicist, no, no, it should be said that it is a great scientist.

Xu's father remembered that someone told him in the evening that the Nobel Prize did not seem to have a mathematics prize, and Xu Chuan won the physics prize.

It's just that in his memory, his son studied mathematics, and he couldn't figure out how he won the physics prize.

But whatever.

Nobel Prize, any one of them is the glory of the ancestors, and the glory of the ancestral tomb is smoking.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I was doing research in the laboratory today, and my phone was silent, so I didn't receive a call, and I just learned the news." ”

On the other end, Father Xu was slightly silent, and then said with concern: "Don't fight so hard, now that you have become a great scientist, you must pay attention to your body, you are still young, and there is still a long time to do research in the future, so don't be in a hurry." ”

Hearing Xu Chuan say this, Xu's father knew in his heart that his son must have been in the laboratory for another whole day.

He has such a character, and he will not rest without others shouting when he is serious.

It used to be when he was studying, but it was okay at that time, and the pressure of studying was not great for him.

After this came out, Xu's father always felt like his son was suppressing something in his heart, and called him several times, but he was busy.

Xu Chuan smiled: "Well, I know, don't worry......"

Before he could finish his sentence, another loud and rough voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Is it Chuanzi? When will the big scientist come back, the village is waiting for your candy. “””

Hearing this voice, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile and replied loudly: "Uncle Yimin is also here." ”

"Then it must be there, there is a big scientist in the village, why don't you celebrate it?" Han Yimin laughed and came to Xu's father and chatted with Xu Chuan.

.......

The matter of Xujiacun is just a microcosm.

Xu Chuan won the Nobel Prize, and the glory is not just for him.

On the afternoon of the announcement of the list of winners, a big red banner was raised directly above the school gate, and the words on it were written with the glory of the school.

[Warmly celebrate the Nobel Prize in Physics won by Xu Chuan, a 2016 graduate of our school and a professor of our school!] 】

On the banner, Xu Chuan's name was not specially marked.

For NTU, the name has brought them so much glory.

The Cafford Prize, the Seven Millennium Problems, the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize, ......

Each one is an epic glory.

Especially in this academic environment in China, the significance is extraordinary.

What's more, these glories have never been obtained by Shuimu and Peking University, and every time they are naked show-offs.

NTU, once Asia's number one college, seems to be regaining its glory, how can this not make the people of NTU happy and proud.

On the other side, Star City.

At the entrance of Star City No. 1 Middle School, gorgeous banners were also hung in the most conspicuous places.

If a school can produce a Nobel laureate, there is no doubt that the school will be successful.

What's more, this is the first-ever Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner, and the youngest winner.

As one of the four famous schools in Star City, the No. 1 Middle School, which has been suppressed by Changjun Yali for a long time, once again raised its eyebrows and proudly showed off today.

They! It has produced a Fields Medal winner and a Nobel Prize winner. This is a great achievement that no matter how many Qingbei students come out, it cannot cover.

Especially for the old Tang Tang Gaoyuan.

When he heard the news, after a brief period of confusion, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

This kid, I really didn't expect it.

When I first studied physics, I jumped to mathematics, solved various problems, and won the Fields Medal.

I didn't expect to win the Nobel Prize in Physics again when I studied mathematics and studied it.

But it really fits his style, no matter what field he is, he has the most outstanding and top talent.

......

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are unhappy.

In the capital, Sun Heng, who had already returned by high-speed rail, had a ringing ringing in his ears.

Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, Sun Heng glanced at the caller, it was his friend.

When I connected the phone, I immediately heard a voice of envy over there.

"Old Sun, you have developed this time! Last time, I heard that you joined Professor Xu Chuan's project, and today Professor Xu won the Nobel Prize, the first Fields Medal and Nobel Prize winner in history.......

Before Sun Heng could speak, a series of words came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing his friend's words with a thick tone of envy, Sun Heng was stunned for a moment, his heart was shocked, and he quickly asked, "Xu Chuan's kid.... Ahem, Professor Xu, he won the Nobel Prize? ”

On the other side, hearing Sun Heng's words, his friend was also stunned for a moment, and his attitude was a little subtle: "You shouldn't know, right?" ”

"Yesterday was the time when the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced, and Professor Xu and another person from the United States won this year's Physics Prize."

"In addition, Lao Sun, you should have a better attitude towards Professor Xu, what is the name, it is better to change it, don't look at him young, but he is a real top bull."

"The first Nobel Prize and Fields Medal winner in history, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in today's academic world, and your attitude will be ......"

Before the words of the friend on the other side were finished, Sun Heng interrupted, and then quickly hung up the phone, his face a little red and uncertain.

He was fired a long time ago.

It's just that he can't figure out why the Nobel Prize was awarded to such a young man.

Did the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences have a brain convulsion? Isn't the average age of Nobel laureates over 60 years old?

Why does a 21-year-old win an award?

Sun Heng's breathing was very short, others envied him for being able to enter the Nobel Prize winner's project, but only he knew that he didn't enter it at all.

He also had the opportunity to join the nuclear energy project, but because he did not pay attention to it, or because he felt that he was not afraid of connections, he finally missed this opportunity.

Working under a Nobel laureate was an opportunity that no one else could ask for, but he missed it himself.

In an instant, Sun Heng seemed to remember something, and his face turned pale in an instant.

His mentor had told him that this opportunity was rare and that he should pay attention to some of his words.

He didn't care at the time, thinking that this was not just a gold-plated opportunity that his mentor had gotten for him.

After all, in Huaguo, a country where seniority is ranked, those deep-rooted ideas made him feel that that young man was nothing.

Even if the other party won the Fields Medal, he was only in his twenties after all, which is an age when his hair has not grown, and it is really difficult for him to pay attention to it.

But he forgot, forgot that as soon as the other party returned to China, he directly mastered a national key project.

What this means, naturally, is self-evident.

Thinking back on these things, Sun Heng suddenly felt a little afraid and happy that he had escaped death.

He was very glad that although he looked down on that person in his heart at the beginning, and he was also angry that he did not pass the exam to join the project team, he was glad that he did not conflict with the other party in that assessment.

If you rely on some of your own relationships and quarrel with each other, I'm afraid it's hard to talk about today.

At that time, there is no need for him to take action in person, I am afraid that someone will take the initiative to send a kindness.

After all, this is in China, and he relied on the relationship to climb to this point, so naturally some people want to take the opportunity to have a little relationship with him.

......

On the other hand, Xu Chuan didn't think about it that much at all.

After making a phone call with his parents, he called his sister Xu Xiao again, fulfilled her wish, and promised to take her to the Nobel Prize ceremony, he hung up the phone with a smile and put away his phone.

As for the others, it's late at night, just reply to the message tomorrow.

But as soon as the phone was put in his pocket, the phone rang again.

This call, it was from Princeton, and it was Feverman, the head of Princeton's mathematics department, who called him.

When Peverman called, Xu Chuan still couldn't miss it, and answered the phone with a smile.

"Congratulations, Professor Xu Chuan."

Peverman's voice came from the phone, smiling and congratulating.

Even in Princeton, winning the Nobel Prize is an incomparably honorable event.

As of today, Princeton University has produced a total of twenty-five, nay, twenty-six Nobel laureates.

Of course, if you count Princeton's history alumni, professors, and researchers, that number rises to sixty-eight.

In addition, there are fifteen Fields Medal winners. Combined, there are nearly 100 outstanding alumni in total.

But Xu Chuan was the first to win both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize.

More crucially, this is not only the first-ever winner of both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, but also the record for the youngest winner of the double prize in history.

At the age of twenty-one, he won both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize, a brilliant achievement that is estimated to be untouched by no one in the next hundred years.

Xu Chuan replied with a smile: "Thank you, I'm also very happy." ”

Opposite, Feverman joked with a smile: "You know what? In the outside world, do mathematicians call your award this time? ”

"What?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.

"Nobel Prize in Mathematics!" Feverman replied with a smile.

"Uh....." Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "There is no Nobel Prize in mathematics. ”

It is a well-known fact that there is no mathematics prize in the Nobel Prize.

A popular rumor is that Nobel once had a feud with the Swedish mathematician Mita Levler because of personal emotional problems, so there is no mathematics prize.

What's even more interesting is that Fields, who later proposed the creation of a medal for mathematics, had a deep friendship with the master Mita Levler.

Therefore, the establishment of the Fields Medal is often interpreted as Fields venting his anger on Mita Levler.

Of course, these are just small folk tales, and there is no evidence of any feud between Nobel and Mita Levler.

In fact, as a leading figure in Swedish science, Mita Levler is actively involved in the work related to the Nobel Prize. On his strong recommendation, the Nobel Prize was awarded to the first award-winning theoretical physicist, Lorenz, and the first woman to win the prize, Marie Curie.

However, it is a fact that the Nobel Prize does not have a mathematics prize, and it is also a pity for the majority of mathematicians.

Feverman shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course we know, but you are the first one to win the Nobel Prize in Physics with your achievements in the field of pure mathematics." ”

"You know, although the extended application of the xu-weyl-berry theorem is used in astrophysical calculations, it is a purely mathematical tool, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned again, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "No wonder Staffan, the secretary general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences?" Professor Nomark asked me to change the name of 'Extended Applications of the Xu-Weyl-Berry Theorem,' saying that it sounded a bit too much like mathematical. ”

Feverman laughed and said, "Hahaha, if I were you, I would ignore them, and let mathematics take root in the Nobel Prize in Physics." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I really didn't pay much attention to this achievement before, and I didn't think about naming it, but after winning the Nobel Prize, it still needs a name of its own." ”

Feverman smiled: "It's up to you, but in the eyes of the mathematical community, this is a mathematician who won the Nobel Prize, and your name can't change their minds." ”

After a pause, Feverman then asked, "By the way, do you still have any research on the NS equation?" ”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "I have some ideas, but I don't have time to study them for the time being, I have some other projects on my side now." ”

Hearing this, Peverman lamented: "It seems that you probably won't go back to Princeton, it's a pity, I'm going to hold a celebration party for you here." ”

Xu Chuan smiled: "There will be a chance in the future." ”
