Jinling, Nanda.

In the office of the Academy of Mathematics, Xu Chuan clicked on the mailbox, found the official email address of the International Mathematical Union, and sent Cai Peng's paper and his recommendation letter to him.

For Cai Peng, his degree of care is indeed not much.

After all, when he first accepted this student, Qi Xia's controlled nuclear fusion project was in full swing, so that in the past two years, he had little time and energy to guide his studies.

It wasn't until the Daybreak Fusion Rig had successfully completed ignition that he diverted some of his energy.

However, this student worked harder than expected, and in the field of differential equations, he had excellent talent and enough sweat to finally succeed in taking his own steps on this path.

So much so that he was still willing to go to the International Mathematical Union to help him apply for an opportunity.

After all, the time is already relatively urgent, and if you miss this session, you will have to wait another four years.

If he can give a report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, it will be of great benefit to Cai Peng, both academically and in terms of future.

The reply of the International Mathematical Union was very fast, and in response to Xu Chuan's request, the current president of the International Mathematical Union, Xi Kenniger, personally replied by phone, saying that the IMU would conduct a preliminary review of the paper as soon as possible, and if the paper had no major defects, a 45-minute report would be arranged for it.

This is the regulation of the International Mathematical Union, for the IMU, each presentation, whether it is 45 minutes or an hour, the candidates and content of the presentation need to be carefully selected.

After all, the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians is the grandest exchange meeting in the mathematical community.

After receiving the phone reply, Xu Chuan glanced at Cai Peng, who was waiting nervously and expectantly on the side, nodded with a smile, and said, "The IMU has already received it, it's not a big problem." ”

Hearing this, Cai Peng's eyes quickly brought surprise: "It's really troublesome for the professor." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Little things, you can prepare well." ”

The paper "Phased Proofs of Minimum Differential Computations of Dimensional Polynomials of Differential Equations" is enough to be qualified for the International Congress of Mathematicians, but what Cai Peng lacks is just some processes and time.

And for him, as a mentor, it is also his job to fight for some benefits for his students.

Cai Peng nodded as if the chicken pecked at the rice and said, "I will definitely prepare it seriously." ”

In the office, several other students who were paying attention to the movement here were full of envy, and they gave a report at the International Mathematical Union Congress, which is also very cool!

Noticing the stares of several students, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Come on, the future is yours." ”

After encouraging a few students, he opened the pre-downloaded paper on his computer.

He has a unified direction of strong electricity, and now he needs to solve the various problems encountered when moving in this direction, and try to make a new model or theory for the unified strong electricity theory and gravity.

Although he can still step on the shoulders of other scholars, such as string theory, Einstein field, Young-Mills field, etc., he still hopes to build a theory of his own.

After all, in this area, he is already at the forefront of the theoretical physics community.

For a scholar, the most important thing is not only rigor, but also innovation.

Without innovation, the world will not move forward.

After lunch was settled in the small cafeteria of Nanda, Xu Chuan returned to the office, and when he saw him coming back, the assistant Tang Ran walked over quickly.

"Professor, the media reporter of Nature magazine would like to do an interview with you, there is a proof paper on the existence and mass gap of Yang-Mills, as well as some physical things, which I have made an appointment before."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan glanced up at her, thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had agreed to an interview invitation from Nature magazine after the existence report on the solution of the Yang-Mills equation.

It's just that the other party hasn't come, and he almost forgot about it.

Nodding, he replied, "Okay, you let them come." ”

For him, being interviewed by media reporters has long been a habitual thing.

Since he became famous, there have been many media outlets that want to interview him, especially after making a certain achievement, and it can be said that there will be different media outlets wanting to interview him every day during that period of time.

Although most of the time he doesn't have that much time to be interviewed by these media, there are times when he selectively accepts some of the appropriate media interviews.

On the one hand, it satisfies the public's curiosity about the content of their research, and on the other hand, it expands some of their own and Huaguo's fame.

After all, without the interviews and propaganda of these media reporters, it is normally difficult for ordinary people to understand how important and great the achievements of a scholar are, and it is also difficult to know what a country's academic ability is.

Although he doesn't care much about many things, such as money and power, he is still willing to do it if he can improve himself as much as possible in the academic world and even in the world, and enhance the reputation of the country.

Although Nature is a little more commercial than the Annals of Mathematics and the Physics Overview, it is undeniable that Nature is more famous than the professional journals such as the Annals of Mathematics and the Physics Overview.

Although the media and periodicals under its name will weaken a lot of professional knowledge when facing the masses, they can let ordinary people understand to the greatest extent what this scientific achievement is and what is useful for all mankind.

Tang Ran nodded, turned around and brought the media reporter of Nature magazine over.

"Hello, Professor Xu, it's an honor to interview you." The reporter of "Nature" smiled and stretched out his hand, gently shook Xu Chuan, and said hello.

"Hello, please take a seat." Xu Chuan said hello with a smile.

After adjusting the recorder, Penn Vina, a reporter from Nature, smiled and said, "Thank you, Professor Xu, for taking some time out of your busy schedule, in order not to delay your research, can you start the interview now?" ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Nodding, Penn Vina spoke, "Before coming, we heard that you have published your proof of the quality gap problem on the Arxiv preprint website, and if it also passes the academic validation, this will be the third millennial problem you have solved." ”

"It's pretty incredible to the outside world, can you tell us a little bit about how that was done? Or do you have any tips for studying and academic research that you can share? ”

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't have too many skills, for me, interest is probably the only reason." ”

"Interested?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, interest is probably the best teacher for a person, if on top of this, you can still have perseverance, hard work and other abilities, I believe that no matter what field you are in, you can reach the peak." ”

Flipping through the notebook in his hand, Payne Vina then asked: "After the paper of the mass gap was uploaded, it was rumored that you had controlled the unity of the three forces of strong and weak electricity, I would like to ask if this is true?" ”

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "This is too exaggerated, the unity of the three forces of strong and weak electricity is the holy grail of the theoretical physics community in the twenty-first century, and there are still many problems we need to solve to complete its unification." ”

Hearing this, Penn Vina glanced at him with some surprise and asked curiously: "It is said in the physics community that if anyone can solve the Yang-Mills existential and mass gap problem, it is possible to solve the strong electrical unity. And you are the closest scholar in this field in the field of physics today, and I would like to ask, in your opinion, how far away are we from the unification of strong electricity, and finally the Holy Grail of Great Unification? ”

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a moment before he spoke: "To be honest, I can't give an answer to this question. ”

After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, we are still a long way from the unification of strong electricity, and how can we unify the more mysterious gravitational force." ”

"A hundred years ago, we were proud to think that we could control all truth by reason. At that time, Mr. Lord Kelvin thought that our physics edifice was completed and that all that remained was some retouching work. ”

"But now? With the development of physics, we feel more and more small, and the more we know, the more great and small we feel."

"For more than 100 years, we have been moving towards the goal of great unification, and along the way, we have discovered a lot of things, string theory, quantum theory, relativistic inert neutrinos, dark matter, and other things There are still a lot of mysteries waiting for us to solve."

Penn Vina thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, we may need to solve the difficult problems of string theory and quantum theory before we have a chance to achieve a unified gravitational force?" ”

Xu Chuan smiled, leaned back on the sofa and said: "Gravity is too mysterious, it is very simple, simple All objects with mass have gravity. It's also so complex, so complex that we still don't have a perfect theory that can accurately describe it. ”

After a pause, he made a joke: "Maybe one day we will unveil dark matter, and we can explore and study this most mysterious force through its comparison with conventional matter." ”

"As for the great reunification, in my opinion, I can only say that this is probably not a problem that can be solved in this century."

The interview took about an hour, and as a reporter for the scientific journal Nature, Penn Vina's questions were much more professional than other media outlets.

Xu Chuan is still willing to talk more about this type of interview, and he is still willing to have the opportunity to express some of his views on academic research and scientific development more briefly like the general public.

As he said, interest is always the best teacher for learning.

Scientists are also developed from ordinary people, and if you want to develop science grandiosely and keep it moving forward, it is undoubtedly the best way to arouse the interest of ordinary people in science.

Perhaps the group of people who read periodicals and news now no longer have the ability to embark on the path of academic research, but under their influence, the enlightenment of the next generation will naturally be more interested in science.

After sending off the reporters of Nature, Xu Chuan refocused his attention on the study of the unified theory of strong electricity.

As the days passed, the day of the International Congress of Mathematics was approaching.

On July 10th, when Xu Chuan was packing his luggage and preparing to leave for St. Debilberg to participate in this year's International Congress of Mathematicians, a good news came to him.

The site exploration work of the Large Strong Particle Collider has been completed.

Hearing the news, he was originally going to set off with the students, but he chose to temporarily change the route to the capital, and first finalize the site selection of the collider.

As for a few students, they were handed over to Gu Bing.

Anyway, they're all adults, and it's impossible to lose them.

Beijing, Fuxing Road.

Downstairs in the headquarters building of the Science and Technology Academy, Xu Chuan got down from the Hongqi car, and after saying hello to Zheng Hai, he walked towards the building.

"Academician Xu, you're here."

As soon as I entered the hall, a warm voice sounded in my ears. Xu Chuan turned his head to look, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was happily walking towards him.

When he looked closely, it was Wu Tianhua from Star City in his hometown of Xiangnan.

"Mr. Wu." Xu Chuan greeted with a smile, stretched out his hand and shook it.

Wu Tianhua said with a smile: "The site selection and exploration work of the large strong particle collider has been completed, and our hometown of Star City is fully qualified. ”

The significance of the large-scale strong particle collider, which is a super-large basic comprehensive scientific research equipment, is far more than the equipment itself.

For Huaguo, this is a means of their efforts to transfer the World Center for Basic Science in Physics, hoping to use this project to develop the entire region into an 'international science city', or even a 'future world science center'.

Although this idea has been 'half-frustrated' with the intervention of the United States in the CERN matter, the large-scale strong particle collider project can still bring an extremely large economic, scientific, cultural, and academic to the site. and so on.

Not to mention the rest, the funds for the preliminary planning of the collider project alone have reached the level of 100 billion yuan.

Such a project, not to mention a prefecture-level city like Star City, is a world-large city like the Beijing Magic Capital, and will do its best to fight for it.

After all, the impact it can bring is no longer indescribable in terms of money.
