Compared with the urgency of the chairman of the Wolf Foundation to present the award to Xu Yun in Jingzhou last time, this time Jingzhou University has more time to prepare, so the award ceremony is much louder, and even invited many overseas mathematicians to participate in academic exchanges at that time.

In late March, the award ceremony was officially held, and in addition to hundreds of domestic and foreign scholars, reporters from various TV stations and media reported the whole process.

On the stage, Christian, an academician of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, presented Xu Yun with the Abel Medal.

Xu Yun met each other for the first time, and in his vision was an old man in a blue suit and a red tie.

Silver-white hair is combed behind the ears, and sideburns are joined together by a thick beard on the chin.

Showing a shiny forehead.

He wears a pair of narrow-rimmed glasses on his face, and his appearance gives people a relatively amiable feeling.

He knew that the other party's main research field was biological genes, because he had cooperated with Jinghua University on the project, and was relatively familiar with the situation here, and was sent by the Norwegian Academy of Sciences to present the award.

"Congratulations on winning the Abel Prize and breaking the record to become the youngest Abel Prize winner."

"Thank you."

Xu Yun took the medal from Christian, thanked him and turned over to complete the group photo.

When the warm applause from the audience gradually subsided, Christian did not leave, but continued to communicate with Xu Yun in foreign languages with a smile on his face.

"I wonder if I can ask you a few personal questions?"

The last time Winnice presented him with the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and left, it was rare to meet such an interesting academician.

Naturally, he didn't mind that.

Raising his gaze, he said generously: "Of course." ”

"Great."

Christian's face was full of joy, first glanced at the mathematicians and the media at home and abroad sitting in the audience, and then refocused his gaze on Xu Yun's face and threw out his own personal questions.

"I wonder if you'll continue to solve other world math puzzles?"

When the words fell, his face was raised and he waited for an answer.

Xu Yun could see that the other party was indeed interested in this issue, and he had also considered it.

Although he solved the Hodge conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, there are still many mathematical problems in the world.

For example, the Riemann conjecture in number theory.

However, based on this, he had already made a decision, so he did not deliberately hide it.

"I have done a lot of research in the field of mathematics, so I want to apply mathematics to other fields, specific to human life, and contribute to the development of the entire human civilization."

"And I believe that there will be more excellent mathematicians in the future, and other mathematical problems should be left to them to solve."

"What do you say, Academician Christian?" After talking about his plan, Xu Yun deliberately asked rhetorically.

With his current level of mathematics, he can solve other problems, at least by relying on topological group theory and number theory.

But if you don't overclock your brain, it will take a lot of time.

It is difficult for theoretical mathematics to be immediately applied to a technology, so that the development of science and technology can be pushed forward quickly.

He didn't think it was a good choice to spend too much time on math proofs.

What's more, he now has to complete the research of solid-state batteries, and the long-been long-awaited automated intelligent module robot has not yet come out, so he really has no time left to study mathematical problems.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand it over to future mathematicians, which is also the original intention of the establishment of the Xu Yun Award.

"Perhaps."

"But I believe in your achievements in mathematics, and it's hard for anyone to break it in the future."

Christian's expression suddenly became solemn, and he answered this rhetorical question very seriously.

The award ceremony was also broadcast live on many platforms at the same time, and the audience basically had a very supportive attitude towards Xu Yun no longer trying to solve mathematical problems.

After all, the ceiling has been achieved, and it would be a waste of talent to continue to do so.

This can be seen from the rapidly refreshing barrage.

"Xu Shen is afraid that if he proves all the questions, he will have less goals and rushes to study mathematics in the future."

"Support Xu Shen."

"To be honest, theoretical mathematics will not have much impact on us in the short term, but if we study other fields, every breakthrough in technology can cause big qualitative changes."

"Don't forget that China's lidar technology can successfully lead the international level depends on Xu Shen."

"Anyway, can Xu Shen go to research lithography machines, it's too embarrassing to have high-end chips but can't make them."

"I used to think that the things in science fiction movies were too far away from reality, but Xu Yun's appearance made me feel a kind of throbbing, maybe I can really see the movie into reality in my lifetime."

"I hope that there will be more talents in the country, so that I can take over Xu Shen's class in the future."

……

The conversation with Christian ended, and Xu Yun was surrounded by many reporters as soon as he stepped off the stage.

It's hard to get out of that scene without saying two words.

"I'm a reporter from Jingzhou TV, how do you feel after winning the three authoritative awards in the field of mathematics?"

"Can you say hello to the Penguin Video audience?"

"Someone on the Internet said that your girlfriend is also a graduate student of Jingzhou University, is it true?"

"Can you tell us about what you'll be working on next?"

Xu Yun looked at the microphone that was about to reach his mouth in front of him, and immediately regretted that he didn't leave the backstage just now.

Especially when I heard that there were still people gossiping about his feelings, I really didn't know what to say.

Thinking that it won't be long before all-solid-state battery technology will come out, I can take advantage of this opportunity to predict it in advance, and everyone is too shocked to believe it.

The thought stayed here, and a business smile appeared in him, and he briefly talked about his current situation.

"I'm mainly doing research in materials chemistry right now, and I hope to meet you next time because of the new technology."

For the public, this is undoubtedly heavy news.

The reporters learned that Xu Yun was studying materials chemistry and that there would be new technologies coming out, so they naturally wanted to continue to dig deeper so that they could report with first-hand information.

So much so that the emotions became even more agitated.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"What kind of new technology is it, and is it related to materials?"

"Say a few more words."

Fortunately, there were many juniors and sisters who maintained order in the ceremony hall, and when they saw Xu Yun surrounded by reporters, they hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege.

It took a lot of effort for Xu Yun to return to the lounge.

"These reporters are crazy for the news, so let's hurry back to the lab for the final work."

In the lounge, Xu Yun was thinking about the battery while changing clothes, and did not plan to participate in the academic exchange activities in the future.

These days, with the cooperation of him and Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong, the solid electrolyte material has finally been completed.

With the addition of external insulation, a sample was basically made.

The next step is the most critical testing process, which is related to the final performance of the all-solid-state battery, and the next period of time will definitely stay in the solid-state battery laboratory.

If the test data does not meet expectations, the solid electrolyte material must continue to be optimized.

The amount of time it takes by that time is gone.

At this moment, Xu Yun suddenly noticed a familiar figure walking in, it was Zhang Yitang, who studied twin primes.

"Is there something wrong with looking for me?"

"Professor Zhang."

He knew that the other party had already returned to China, and this time he was invited to attend the award ceremony of the Abel Prize.

Thinking that the other party might have something, he took the initiative to say hello.

"I'm here to thank you."

"Thanks?"

Xu Yun was a little stunned, puzzled by Zhang Yitang's words.

"Your topological group theory has made me make great progress in my research on twin primes, so I came here to express my gratitude to you." Zhang Yitang explained the situation in detail and did not care about the age gap between the two at all.

Hearing what the other party was saying, Xu Yun immediately smiled and replied with a relaxed face.

"It seems that soon the twin primes will be completely proven."

"I'm just getting a dip, and if you continue to study number theory, I guess the Riemann hypothesis has already been proven." Zhang Yitang said from the bottom of his heart, and it can be seen that he regrets that Xu Yun stopped studying number theory.

Then the two talked for a while, until Wang Pengfei, the driver and bodyguard sent by the company, flew over, and Xu Yun said goodbye to the other party and went to the solid-state battery laboratory in Longhu Science and Technology Park.

Before the award ceremony was completely over, the video of Xu Yun being interviewed was reported by major media organizations.

Knowing that Xu Yun is currently conducting research on materials chemistry has made many people curious and speculated.

I want to know the specific research project of Xu Yun.

Looking at the research projects that Xu Yun has participated in, in addition to mathematics, the most important is undoubtedly lidar technology, which makes everyone feel that Xu Yun is definitely a major topic in the field of chemical materials.

If it is successfully completed, it will definitely greatly improve the domestic technical level.

For this reason, someone specially set up a related topic, and everyone discussed it with great interest.

"Chemical materials are the four major sinkhole majors, I didn't expect Xu Shen to choose this field for research."

"Strong people always like to challenge themselves, I think it's normal."

"I don't know what kind of project research is being carried out, maybe it will be photoresist or something."

"Judging by the last lidar project, it is estimated that it will not be long before we can hear good news."

"Not being confined to math is true genius."

"After all, Xu Shen is studying mathematics, and if he wants to make high achievements in the field of materials chemistry, I am afraid that he needs to learn first, so don't think about it too much in a short time."

"Isn't it that I can't see Xu Shen on the Internet, it's a pity!"

……

Compared with the support of domestic netizens, the overall view of overseas is not very optimistic.

Thinking that a mathematical genius studying materials chemistry is no different from learning from scratch, and it is basically impossible to achieve the same glory as mathematics in the field of chemical materials.

After all, they belong to different circles.

Not many people in the mathematical community have expressed their opinions on this matter, but experts in the field of chemical materials are very active.

publicly said that Xu Yun underestimated the difficulty of chemical materials too much, and he would definitely not be able to achieve anything.

For this kind of popularity, various news organizations will definitely not let go, and a large number of articles have been published in just a few days.

"A mathematical genius devotes himself to chemical materials, which Professor Tonako calls blind self-confidence."

"On the Wrong Choices of Geniuses in Mathematics."

"Fields Medal winners give up on mathematics, and their achievements may stop there."

Although some domestic third-media media also want to eat this wave of traffic, due to Xu Yun's influence and the support of netizens, they dare not publish similar controversial articles and videos.

Otherwise, the designation will be attacked by netizens, resulting in a decline in its own reputation.

Only some marketing accounts released advertorials in a big way, commenting that Xu Yun made a wrong choice and could not make great achievements in the field of chemical materials.

And this is naturally refuted by many users, who believe that true geniuses cannot hide their own brilliance no matter what field they are.

Intelligent diagnostic systems and LiDAR technology are the best examples of this.

……

……

"Professor Tonako."

"You are our most authoritative expert in the field of chemical materials, for the genius Xu Yun, who has won three authoritative awards in the field of mathematics, what do you think of his choice to study materials chemistry?"

On April 5, 2019, Jingzhou City, on the way to the solid-state battery laboratory of Longhu Science and Technology Park.

Xu Yun sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the video edited from the program broadcast by the British Broadcasting Company on his mobile phone with a playful expression.

He is no stranger to Professor Tonaco in the mouth of the host in the video, and he is indeed a relatively authoritative expert in the field of chemical materials, and he is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences.

He has made outstanding contributions to the research of metal materials and polymer materials.

It's just that I didn't expect the other party to care so much about his affairs.

As the video continued, Professor Tonako expressed his opinion on the call in response to the moderator's inquiry.

"I've heard the name, and he's definitely the greatest miracle in the history of the development of mathematics."

"I can't imagine solving two world-class mathematical problems at such an age and successfully winning three of the most authoritative awards in the field of mathematics."

"But it's a shame that he chose to move to the field of chemical materials halfway through."

"The study of each material requires thousands of experiments, and it requires a talent that is different from mathematics, and I don't think he can achieve anything in mathematics in this field."

"Maybe many years later he regretted his choice today, but I'm afraid that the talent will not be there at that time."

Normally, the more talented people are, the more important their age is, if they can't rush to the top in the early stage, their thinking will only gradually solidify with age, and how to succeed.

It's just that this situation doesn't apply to Xu Yun, because his talent depends on various abilities.

What's more, there is brain overclocking, and the mind will not be solidified at any time.

Xu Yun didn't react much after watching the video, and he did analyze it correctly from Tonaco's point of view.

After all, everyone's energy and time are limited, and basically they will only study one field in their lifetime, and it is difficult to make relatively large achievements in two fields at the same time.

But he is an exception.

The super learning efficiency and the greatly increased ability of the brain, coupled with the overclocking of the brain, allow him to learn in multiple lines.

Not to mention mathematics, computers, and now materials chemistry, even if it covers the whole field, there is no problem.

After these days of hard work, the first solid-state battery sample has been successfully produced.

Today's trip to the lab is to start testing.

So this time Tonak is destined to be slapped in the face and witness the birth of a genius in chemical materials.

"When my solid-state battery comes out, it should give you a very big surprise."

Secretly muttered, and then Xu Yun put away his mobile phone and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for today's battery test results.

Wang Pengfei, who was driving, was a little worse in English, and he didn't know what Xu Yun was looking at, until the vehicle drove into the Longhu Science and Technology Park and stopped, then turned around to remind Xu Yun.

"Mr. Xu."

"We're here."

Xu Yun immediately opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and took the initiative to go down without letting Wang's friend pull the car door.

"I'll be in the lab today, you can go about your own thing, and I'll contact you in the evening."

explained this sentence to Wang Pengfei, and walked directly to the laboratory where the solid-state battery was located.

Hearing this, Wang Pengfei answered in the back: "Okay, Mr. Xu." ”

Coming out of the elevator and walking into the laboratory, Xu Yun saw that Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong had arrived in advance.

Although their faces were full of excitement and excitement, the dark circles on their eyes proved that they had not rested well yesterday.

"Didn't you sleep well?"

"Thinking that today is the performance test of the sample, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at night." Lu Yi was the first to answer Xu Yun's inquiry, and his face was still a little embarrassed when he talked about this situation.

Wan Xiaoyong next to him followed closely and said: "I'm almost like this." ”

During the period of solid-state battery research with Xu Yun, they not only learned a lot, but also became more and more confident in this project, believing that a real all-solid-state battery would be born in their hands.

Naturally, we are looking forward to the final testing time.

In addition, according to Xu Yun, future articles will also have the authors of the two of them signed.

This is equivalent to having one more authoritative journal paper, even if it is the author of the old one, it is enough to make people happy.

Xu Yun laughed secretly when he listened to the answers of the two, they were originally from the research of batteries, and now they are seeing that the world's most advanced battery technology is about to be born in front of them, and it is normal to be too excited to sleep.

Fortunately, it doesn't affect today's testing.

"Alright."

"Hurry up and change your clothes and get ready to start the test, there are a lot of tasks today."

Thinking about this, Xu Yun waved his hand at the two and immediately walked towards the locker room.

Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong had already come to the laboratory, but they didn't make any moves just to wait for Xu Yun to come over, and they would definitely not delay anything at this time.

After a short time, the three of them changed into lab clothes and first came to the electrical performance testing area.

In order to ensure the detailed data of solid-state batteries, the whole test process includes mechanical performance testing area, environmental performance testing area and safety performance testing area in addition to electrical performance testing.

The whole testing process is all down, and it is impossible to do it in a few days.

But it is only through these tests that the all-solid-state batteries they make meet the standards.

In addition to the charging and discharging electrical cabinet, there are internal resistance testers, dielectric strength testers, data acquisition equipment, etc., of course, today's protagonist is a very thin and light battery.

"It's all ready, Mr. Xu, and it's ready to be tested at any time."

At this time, as Lu Yi's words reached his ears, Xu Yun immediately clapped the board and gave the final order.

"Then let's start the test officially, pay attention to recording all data, and stop the test immediately if there is an emergency."
