"I want to award you an honorary doctorate on behalf of Princeton University, and you shouldn't refuse this request, right?"

Deligne said this with a smile, and then looked at Xu Yun with a calm face, waiting for an answer.

"Honorary doctorate?"

Xu Yun repeated the sentence in a low voice, feeling quite surprised.

He is naturally well aware of the honorary doctorate, which is an honor awarded by universities for their great contributions to the world.

He is still not yet a master's degree, but he will be awarded a doctorate by Princeton University.

This is somewhat unexpected.

But as Deligne had said, he couldn't refuse the request.

Besides, it doesn't hurt him.

He was invited to come for academic exchanges, and the opportunity to join the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton has been taken very seriously, and now he will be awarded an honorary doctorate to give face.

After all, it's not good to reject someone twice in a row.

The thought stayed here, Xu Yun no longer hesitated anything, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I accept."

"Tomorrow you will be presented with a degree certificate by the principal, and there will be students and teachers attending the ceremony." When Deligne heard Xu Yun's affirmative answer, he was completely relieved and opened his mouth to add.

Not everyone at Princeton University confers an honorary doctorate, so it's not a small ceremony.

And the conversation between the two also made the other people around them confused, and they were stunned for a few seconds before they realized that Xu Yun had not graduated yet.

Faced with such a strong sense of disparity, the remaining students suddenly lost interest and left.

When the classroom was quiet again, Xu Yun walked in front of Vicky and spoke.

"Professor Vicky, the development of mathematics is inherently questionable and debated, and I don't care."

"There's a lot I have to learn from you." Vicky shook his head when he heard this, took off his reading glasses, and said with emotion on his face.

The rest of the group did not stay in the classroom, and Deligne went to the principal's office to discuss the ceremony for tomorrow.

Xu Yun didn't go out, and after the open class, he went to the restaurant and returned to his room after dinner.

It is worth mentioning that although he accepted an honorary doctorate from Princeton University, he did not take it too seriously.

According to the current situation, when he returns home after attending the mathematicians' conference, he will directly receive a master's degree certificate.

Become a real PhD student.

I will not give up my double doctorate degree from Gyeongju University just because of this honorary doctorate.

What's more, if he becomes a doctor, he can participate in the selection of outstanding young people and be responsible for some longitudinal projects.

Rather than working on other projects, he wants to solve problems himself.

The satisfaction of exploring new knowledge and solving problems is unmatched.

It's night.

Although Xu Yun was sitting at the desk, his attention was all on the panel, looking at the advanced task, and he whispered softly.

"It's less than a day before the mission time, and you should be able to get the mission reward this time."

The LiDAR Joint Laboratory is already writing a final report, and although the research results have not been announced to the public for the time being, it should not affect the judgment of the panel and the issuance of task rewards.

Therefore, although tomorrow is the honorary doctorate awarding ceremony, he is still looking forward to the award.

I am eager to know what level the automated intelligent module robot drawings can reach.

After all, unlike the previous theoretical mathematics, the robot can be used in many scenarios, and even indirectly represents the development of science and technology in different countries.

There is also the mechanical romance in the hearts of men.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Xu Yun put on the degree gown sent by the school and went to the ceremony.

Every time Princeton University confers an honorary doctorate, it has received much coverage and attention, especially this time for a graduate student in his early twenties.

Coupled with Xu Yun's special identity, it naturally attracted a lot of news media.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw many well-known local media, and what was even more surprising was that it also included international news from the main station.

Seeing that one of the male reporters waved at him, he bowed his head slightly and smiled.

In addition to this, he also saw an acquaintance, who was the editor-in-chief of the editorial board of the Annals of Mathematics, Hofer.

As soon as he met the opponent's target, he saw him coming.

"Congratulations, Dr. Xu."

"Thank you, Mr. Hofer, for coming to today's ceremony." Xu Yun stretched out his hand to shake Hofer's congratulations, and casually asked a question about the Annals of Mathematics: "Mr. Hofer should have been reviewing papers with high academic value recently, right?" ”

"No matter how valuable it is, it can't compare with your paper, and you really don't plan to publish a paper on topological group theory?"

Hofer first complimented him, and then subtly led the conversation to what he was most concerned about.

Xu Yun knew that Hofer was talking about yesterday's open class, and the other party obviously knew that topological group theory had been proven.

When topological group theory was first proposed, it caused a shock in the entire number theory community.

If the academic community knew that topological group theory had been thoroughly proven, it would be possible to imagine how much heated discussion it would cause at that time.

As the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, Hofer must have hoped that Xu Yun would publish this paper in the Annals.

Xu Yun didn't give a clear answer to these things, but whispered mysteriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Hofer, I guarantee that my new paper will be more shocking than topological group theory." Without waiting for Hofer's reply, he went to Deligne's side to prepare for his coming to power.

Perhaps attracted by Xu Yun's words, Hofer still stood in place and looked a little distracted.

"A paper that is more shocking than topological group theory?"

"What could it be?"

With the famous scene of scholars in the field of the last degree theory urging for change, Hofer really can't think of any paper more attractive than this.

Just as he was muttering softly, a bold thought suddenly and uncontrollably popped into his mind.

"Is it ......?"

"Is it proof that the new world math puzzle is not successful?"

"It can't be."

But before he could survive for a few moments, he denied it again.

After all, from the time the mathematical problem was proposed to the modern era, although Perelman and Xu Yun proved one respectively, no one could prove two, not to mention that the distance in the middle is still so short.

He acknowledges that topological group theory is valuable, but it is still very difficult and time-consuming to prove the famous conjectures of number theory.

can also be associated with Xu Yun's demonic talent, and solving Hodge's conjecture at such a young age.

This uncertainty is something that no one else has.

Therefore, in the end, he could not make an accurate judgment, so he had to leave it behind for the time being.

Anyway, no matter what the direction of Xu Yun's new paper is, it will be published in their mathematical yearbook.

Just be patient and wait for this surprise.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Under the lens of many domestic and foreign media, Xu Yun received the honorary doctorate certificate from Princeton University President Eisger on the ceremony, and took a group photo with a smile.

It is not a cumbersome degree conferment ceremony at the end, Xu Yun will naturally be interviewed by reporters.

In the end, he gave the opportunity to the foreign correspondent of the main station.

"I'm Liu Yang, a foreign correspondent of China Central Station, can you tell me how you feel about receiving an honorary doctorate from Princeton University?"

"I am surprised and happy at the same time with this honor."

"The International Congress of Mathematicians is held every four years at the beginning of next month, will you go there?"

"I'm going to go to Genneiro."

"Are you confident of winning a Fields Medal?" Liu Yang handed the microphone to Xu Yun again and asked seriously.

Xu Yun only has one sentence in this regard: "I believe that the International Mathematical Union will make a fair selection." ”

At the end of the interview, Xu Yun did not leave time for other reporters, and returned to his temporary place of residence after finishing the process.

After all, his attention was on the task reward, and seeing that the task time limit was about to arrive, he naturally wanted to find a clean place to consult the drawings.

At this time, the relevant reports also quickly spread to China and caused a lot of sensation on the Internet.

Due to the research of the solid-state lidar project, Xu Yun hardly showed up in the first half of the year.

This greatly reduced the popularity of him on the Internet, and it was in this situation that it was suddenly revealed that Xu Yun had received an honorary doctorate, which made everyone feel very surprised and confused, and it was inevitable that they would involuntarily enter the topic to discuss and understand the situation.

What's more, Xu Yun also commented on the Fields Medal.

"What's the situation with the grass, when did Xu Shen run to Princeton?"

"Honorary doctorate, envy!"

"Isn't he supposed to go to the mathematicians' conference, why did he go to Princeton University?"

"I don't know this if I don't watch the news."

"Xu Shen is still too modest, who will win the Fields Medal if you don't win it?"

"Sit back and wait for the youngest Fields Medal winner to be born."

"It's really exciting."

Compared with the attitude of domestic netizens, when the relevant news is released overseas, many people's comments are full of sourness.

Among them, users from Neon even threatened that Xu Yun would not win the Fields Medal.

"Proving Hodge's conjecture is just luck, how can it be possible to win a Fields Medal in your twenties."

"Again, Professor Ohno is right, he doesn't have a high level at all."

"It's definitely a genius of packaging."

"An honorary doctorate from Princeton University doesn't mean much, and many businessmen can get it."

"If the jury weren't stupid, they wouldn't have awarded him the prize."

Some netizens who climbed over the wall saw that Xu Yun was slandered, and without saying a word, they returned to the commonly used platform and called someone to set up a ladder to help.

Although there is a disadvantage in terms of numbers, it will definitely not be cowardly on the line.

Because even if Xu Yun is really packaged, it is better than the neon side that can't even find one that can be packaged.

No one expected that this report would cause a new round of netizens to line up, which made the whole network pay attention to the opening of the mathematician conference in a few days, wondering what the final result would be.

On the contrary, Xu Yun, as a party concerned, did not pay any attention to the discussion on the Internet at this time.

Staying alone in the room and looking at the panel in front of you, you can see that the advanced task has been successfully completed, and the most important thing besides obtaining one hundred and twenty points is naturally the drawing.

Thank you for the 100 coin reward from Tiandu Cloud!
