Chapter 582: Vladimir the Great
The moment the results were announced, the entire venue was boiling.
In particular, those Chinese scholars who came to attend the National Mathematicians Conference, including Xu Chuan, stood up and gave the warmest applause.
The tidal wave of applause accompanied by cheers of excitement, excitement, joy, high and other emotions resounded throughout the conference site, and continued to sound wave after wave.
Some scholars from other countries who sat next to the Chinese scholars were taken aback by the enthusiasm. However, after reacting, they felt the excitement around them, and they couldn't help but applaud it.
Sitting in the venue, the eyes of the two professors of Nanjing University, Zhou Hai and Rong Zhizhuan, flashed with excitement that could not be hidden.
In 2002, China hosted the 24th International Congress of Mathematicians as a developing country, which was held in Beijing, which opened the door to the world and allowed Chinese mathematicians to go to the world stage.
In the 20th year of reincarnation, China will once again undertake the International Congress of Mathematicians, and I don't know what new changes will be brought to the country this time.
But I have to say that Huaguo, or Jinling, can undertake an international congress of mathematicians, and there is no doubt that NTU or that person will play a driving role in it.
Although this is not the first time that Huaguo and Jinling have hosted a mathematical event of this scale.
From the time that person returned to China, from the NS equation, to the Yang-Mills existential and mass gap, both Jinling and NTU have held several such grand events.
From being unknown in the world at the beginning, to now having sufficient experience, and even surpassing Beijing to become the focus of Huaguo in the international mathematical community, and becoming the city with the closest exchanges between Huaguo and the international mathematical community, all of this was brought by that person after returning to China.
But just as the International Mathematical Union made an exception to award him a second Fields Medal, his influence in the mathematical community has reached a new height.
I have to say that it is terrifying to do what a school of thought or even a country has not been able to do on his own!
Sitting in the front row of the venue, Xu Chuan applauded, with the same excitement and excitement in his eyes.
What excites him is not only that he has chosen his home country as the venue for the next International Congress of Mathematicians, but also because of the significance of this conference.
It will bring a new force to the motherland, and will also stimulate the vigorous development of the Chinese mathematics community, and also mark that the Chinese mathematics community will bloom its own glory on the world stage!
After the ballet, Tsarist Russian opera, art troupe and other dances and performances at the closing ceremony, the nine-day International Congress of Mathematicians finally came to an end.
The news that the next International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Jinling, China, was broadcast and reported by the news media, and soon spread all over the world, and major mathematical forums are also being discussed.
For laymen who are not in the mathematical community, it doesn't matter where the International Congress of Mathematicians is held.
After all, it is just a conference, even if there is a 'Nobel Prize in mathematics' like the Fields Medal to enhance its popularity, it will not be as good as the Nobel Prize to break the circle and be known to everyone in the world.
But for the mathematical community, this is a spectacle that is not inferior to the Olympics at all.
As a result, the topics discussed at the famous international mathematical forum MathoverFlow are quite intense.
[Shet, the next conference will be held in China again, and I seriously doubt that the IMU committee has been bribed. 】
[Inconceivable, a developing country can host two international mathematician conferences, when did their mathematical strength become so strong?] 】
[Developing countries? Don't be funny, it's just that they themselves are still talking about this, a developing country with controlled fusion technology, do you believe it? 】
[It's not Huaguo who is strong, it's just that person, one person has solved three millennial problems, and the International Mathematical Union can't wait to award him the Fields Medal Special Award, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in today's mathematical community. 】
[Does one person influence the decisions of the entire mathematical community?] It's terrible. 】
[Xu Chuan: There are historical records that record that his ancestral home originated from Seoul on the peninsula, and his great-grandfather was a Korean national. 】
【???? 】
【???? 】
The discussion on the MathoverFlow forum Xu Chuan didn't know yet, and he didn't think that someone had changed his ancestral home once. Well, it's really the style of the Cosmic Country.
For people in that country, it is also a normal thing to choose 'reverse' and forcibly join if they can't beat it.
Especially in some areas that they are 'lacking', take-or-leave-it-or-leave-it is also something they are very good at.
Of course, everyone except the people of that country saw this as a joke.
At the end of the closing ceremony, the conference logo was removed from the Imperial Hotel in Talen, and scholars from all over the world boarded their return flights.
Xu Chuan was originally going to return to China as soon as possible, but the Tsarist side communicated with him, hoping to delay him for another day and award him the title of foreign academician of the Tsarist Academy of Sciences during this meeting.
Foreign academician is a title that almost every country has, and there are almost too many evaluation criteria.
For example, in China, the criteria for selecting foreign academicians are: "Foreign scholars and experts who have made important contributions to China's science and technology and enjoy a high academic status in the world can be recommended and elected as foreign academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences." ”
Up to now, the number of foreign academicians in China has exceeded three digits, which also represents the country's strength and attraction to talents to a certain extent.
And for those top talents or top scholars in all walks of life, they generally hold the title of foreign academicians in many countries.
For example, Professor Pierre Deligne, who is not only an academician of the Academy of Sciences of the United States, but also an academician of the Academy of Sciences of Belgium, Linqin, Sweden, Tsarist Russia, France and many other countries.
Or Yang Zhenhuan, who is also an academician of China, Brazil, Tsarist Russia, Venezuela, Spain and other countries.
If it weren't for some special reasons, it would be difficult for Xu Chuan to go abroad, I believe that there would be many countries willing to give him foreign academicians, including Mi Guo.
After all, whether it is the achievements in theoretical sciences such as mathematical physics, or the achievements in applied science and technology such as lithium batteries and controlled nuclear fusion, it can be said that they have made great contributions to science and society.
It's a pity that he can't go abroad easily, and for other countries, if you don't come, it's unlikely that I will give you the title, so Xu Chuan still only has the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
However, after this trip to Tsarist Russia, he can have the title of foreign academician of Tsarist Russia.
Although these things are not very important, it is also an honor anyway.
Moreover, for the sake of the friendship between China and Russia, this title of foreign academician will undoubtedly make the two countries closer to each other to a certain extent.
The next day, in the "Smolny Palace" in St. Petersburg, Xu Chuan accepted a "special" ceremony for him to confer the title of foreign academician held by the Russian authorities.
The reason why it is special is that, on the one hand, the time for the selection of academicians and foreign academicians in Tsarist Russia has long passed, and today's one is prepared for him alone.
On the other hand, it is the address of the foreign academician "Smolny Palace".
Built at the beginning of the 19th century, Smolny Palace was the first school for girls' aristocracy in Tsarist Russia, later the headquarters of the Bolsheviks during the October Revolution, and also served as the government office building of the city of Leningrad, where Lenin lived for 124 days until the capital moved to Cosmo.
"A cannon shot rang out in October, bringing us the truth."
This is the most familiar sonorous phrase that appears in our history textbooks, and it is also the origin of red culture.
Xu Chuan thought that today's awarding ceremony was just a formality, but he didn't expect that in the Smolny Palace, he met the Soul Emperor who supported the entire Tsarist Russia
The old man, who was not burly, stood in front of him a little shorter than him, and looked ordinary and unlethal in appearance.
But a pair of sharp and resolute eyes are enough to show his resolute and strong character.
However, this old man put away his tough and domineering aura, and greeted him with a kind smile like an ordinary old man.
"Hello, Professor Xu Chuan, welcome to you." The old man smiled and stretched out his hand and shook Xu Chuan warmly.
"Hello."
Looking at the enthusiasm that came over, a trace of surprise flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes, and he shook hands with this 'legendary' old man with a smile, he really didn't expect this soul figure of Tsarist Russia to appear here.
Vladimir the Great said with a smile: "I was going to pick you up at the airport, but unfortunately I was busy with some other things some time ago and couldn't find time." ”
As the controller of a country, especially for a country like Tsarist Russia, it is obviously extremely rare to greet a foreign scholar so politely.
However, for Xu Chuan, his status and influence have long been indescribable by ordinary scholars.
His opinion alone is worth tens of millions of people, and even in a P5-level country, no one will ignore his words.
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "You are too polite and too enthusiastic. ”
Vladimir the Great smiled and said, "This is nothing compared to your achievements and contributions, or to our friendship. ”
Although the first words are only polite and polite, the 'friendship' that follows is a real benefit.
This time, this visit and the transactions they have made with China have brought deeper 'friendship' and 'cooperation' between the two countries.
After a pause, he continued: "During the conference these days, I wonder how Professor Xu feels about St. Petersburg? Have you had a good time here. ”
Xu Chuan smiled: "Of course, this is a city full of humanistic atmosphere, which is very beautiful and worth remembering." ”
Vladimir: "Haha, there are many flavors and cultures in Tsarist Russia that cannot be experienced in the city, such as hunting, skiing, ice hockey, if you have the opportunity, why don't you go to Cosmo to experience it together." I can guarantee that these events will be something you will never forget. ”
As much as he wanted him to stay here, he knew it was impossible.
At least for now, it is not possible, and there is no way that China will allow such a thing to happen. If you really want to force it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So instead of tentatively asking about the impossible, leave the opportunity for the future. And now that he is not married, maybe he will be able to find his other half in Tsarist Russia at that time?
Although he was a little surprised that this emperor would chat with him like this, Xu Chuan still smiled and nodded, and said, "If you have the opportunity, you will definitely come to experience it." ”
Vladimir the Great laughed, and after chatting with Xu Chuan for a while, he personally stood in the "Smolny Palace" to complete the ceremony of awarding foreign academicians.
Although the existence of this person in front of him is not 'good news' for Tsarist Russia, after all, his research has brought controlled nuclear fusion technology to China, which is also a great power, and has upset the inherent political dynamic balance of the world for decades.
Especially for Tsarist Russia, which already relies on energy exports as one of the main economic forces, they will be even more uncomfortable in the face of the impact of controlled nuclear fusion technology.
But I have to say, this may not be an opportunity.
It is not only the friendship and great benefits brought to Tsarist Russia by this visit, but also the slightest chance to break the political pattern and make Tsarist Russia rise again.
Perhaps, with the opportunity of this visit, they may take the initiative to deepen some cooperation, and he can also take the initiative to visit once to test the other party's views.
Although this glimmer of opportunity may lead Tsarist Russia to a course that deviates from its original track, for them, whose economy has already fallen to the bottom, if they can make economic recovery, it is not unacceptable to favor and deepen cooperation with China in some aspects.
After all, it's a world where money is needed everywhere.
