On the rostrum.

"Then congratulations again, Lee, for winning the Ramanujan Award."

"We have always been very concerned about the development of science in developing countries, especially in mathematics and physics."

"And we are very pleasantly surprised that after so many years of waiting, another genius like you has come out of the developing world."

"This Ramanujan Award deserves to belong to you!"

Subsequently, Artish awarded the Ramanujan Award certificate in his hand to Li Mu.

And the audience also applauded, but many people couldn't help but complain in their hearts.

Can Huaguo be considered a developing country?

The world's second-largest economy, the world's factory, and a population of more than a billion people......

When we don't consider per capita, for some foreigners, China really doesn't look like a developing country.

On the stage, Li Mu also received the certificate of the Ramanujan Award from Atish again.

The Ramanujan Award has no medals, only a certificate and a $15,000 award, of course, in terms of monetary rewards alone, it is 10,000 dollars more than the $5,000 of the Dirac Prize.

But these monetary awards are basically just a formality, and they are nothing compared to the value of the prize itself - unless it is a direct award of 8 million Swedish kronor, equivalent to $1.1 million, as in the case of the Nobel Prize.

It is probably because of this huge monetary reward that the Nobel Prize has become the most well-known award in the world.

"So, a few more simple words to everyone?"

Atish said to Li Mu with a smile.

Li Mu shrugged his shoulders, okay, then I can only say two more words?

There is a feeling of nocturne and going on stage to accept the award.

"Thank you to the ICTP, to the International Mathematical Union, and to the Ministry of Science and Technology of India for this award."

"Of course, I also have to thank my country even more."

“我的国家，曾经有位令人尊敬的前人说过科学技术是第一生产力，同时他曾经也说过，再穷也不能穷教育。”

"As a result, my country, even when it was at its poorest, never gave up its emphasis on education, and until this century, my country has also established the largest compulsory education system in the world, and every child can enjoy compulsory education at the junior high school level."

"I was fortunate to be born in this country, and it was in this education that I grew up to where I am now."

"Even though we are still a developing country, I believe that my country has infinite potential."

"Of course, I also hope that all developing countries in the world will work together to develop their own science and education, and it will never be too late to become a scientific and educational power."

"Thank you!"

Li Mu bowed solemnly, and the audience suddenly burst into more enthusiastic applause.

At this time, these foreigners realized that Huaguo would provide compulsory education for every child, even if it was only at the junior high school level, which was something that people from other countries could not have imagined.

Therefore, their applause this time really came from the heart.

Hearing the applause from the audience, Li Mu also smiled slightly.

Although there are still various problems in the domestic education system, there is nothing to criticize when it comes to compulsory education.

It is enough to make any Chinese person proud.

Atish next to him was also surprised with a burst of surprise on his face, and while applauding, he also said to Li Mu: "I really didn't expect that there is such a system in your country, and I will definitely make a proposal to our Congress in the future and learn from you." ”

"Really? Then I wish you success. Li Mu said with a smile: "Believe me, this is definitely one of the greatest policies in human history." ”

"I think so too." Artish agreed.

Li Mu bowed, and then smiled: "It seems that I can go down." ”

Atish smiled and nodded, and then was about to send Li Mu down, but at this moment, someone in the audience stood up.

"Li Mu, I have a question for you!"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect an accident to happen, and Li Mu also turned his head to look at the person who asked the question.

It's actually Qiu Chengtong!

"Professor Qiu, what is the problem?"

Li Mu turned around and faced Qiu Chengtong with some doubts on his face.

"Sorry to disturb everyone."

Qiu Chengtong bowed slightly to the surroundings first, expressing his apology.

Of course, everyone else around him smiled at him.

People said, "Professor Qiu is serious. ”

Such a heavyweight scholar would be respected by anyone.

Qiu Chengtong smiled, immediately looked at Li Mu, and said, "Actually, I really can't help it." ”

"I wanted to ask when I got the Dirac Medal just now, but now, it just so happens that you won the mathematics prize, and I also believe that many of the mathematics colleagues present are already curious to know."

"Goldbach guesses, you ...... Proof out? ”

As soon as Qiu Chengtong's question came out, the audience was in an uproar again.

Goldbach ...... Guess?

Those mathematicians immediately sat up straight, looked at Li Mu tightly, and joked, they were really very concerned about this problem!

The other physicists were amazed, and although they studied physics, they had certainly heard of the name of Goldbach's conjecture.

This is arguably one of the most famous questions in science.

Li Mu, before attending this meeting, actually proved all this problem?

None of these physicists were shocked by this.

Of course, Artish finally realized that the reason why those mathematicians were acting so strangely just now was because of this incident!

Generous crab, Goldbach conjecture?

Looking at the young man in front of him, Artish shook his head with a wry smile.

While receiving the award, he solved a well-known problem?

But his surface was still so calm, as if nothing had happened......

What an enviable talent......

At this moment, Li Mu, who became the focus of the audience, didn't expect Qiu Chengtong to ask this question.

After a moment of silence, he said, "The Goldbach conjecture is a conjecture full of difficulty. ”

"But I always believe that no matter how difficult the conjecture is, sooner or later it will be solved."

"Maybe it's in my hands, maybe it's in someone else's."

"Now, I believe, the Goldbach conjecture, has come to an end in my hands."

"It's just waiting to be verified by the mathematical community."

He smiled.

Qiu Chengtong laughed: "Okay! It's you! ”

Probably only Li Mu can say this sentence so confidently.

“当然我也顺便告诉你一个好消息，就在刚才，舒尔茨、法尔廷斯已经联合在mathoverflow上面发表了他们的看法。”

"They have expressed a lot of confidence in your proof, and I think that this time, you will probably succeed again."

Hearing the news from Qiu Chengtong, many mathematicians present were also stunned, and even Schultz and Faltins expressed confidence in Li Mu's paper?

and then with Li Mu's previous records......

好家伙，哥德巴赫猜想，看来是真的要被解决掉了啊，进化为又一个定理了。

And Li Mu on the stage was a little surprised, mathoverflow?

Naturally, he also knew that this website was a well-known online communication platform in their mathematical community, and various well-known mathematicians would appear on it from time to time.

Did Schultz and Faltins actually jointly evaluate his paper on this?

Of course, he was stunned for a moment, and soon he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for telling me the news." ”

Qiu Chengtong also smiled, "Okay, then I've finished asking my questions, so I'd like to express my apologies to you, as well as Chairman Artish, for disturbing the process of the conference." ”

Artish smiled: "No, no, no, of course, this is not an interruption to the process of the conference, this is a surprise to our conference!" I wish I could have more surprises like this. ”

There was laughter in the room.

Indeed, the ICTP conference originally included both theoretical physics and mathematics, so of course it was a surprise.

After all, not everyone knows about it, and many of the people present in the past two days have not paid much attention to the news in the academic world because they came to this conference.

In this way, the awarding of the Ramanujan Award is over, and the next move on to the awarding of other awards.

In addition to these two awards, there are the ICTP Awards, the ICO/ICTP GD Awards, and the Walter Cohen Awards.

The ICTP Prize is also awarded to young scientists from developing countries.

在场的人们甚至都以为这个奖项也要颁发给李牧了，不过让他们都松了一口气的事，这个奖项就颁发给其他人了。

Although Li Mu also has this qualification, the ICTP still needs to take care of the feelings of other scholars.

After all, the rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about human feelings.

Of course, because of Goldbach's conjecture, these scholars present will also be distracted from time to time to pay attention to related news, such as going to Mathoverflow to take a look at the posts jointly made by the two bigwigs.

And just like that, the conference finally came to an end.

Then, the news of various winners also spread.

Among them, especially the news that Li Mu won two awards in a row and is the only winner of this year's Dirac Medal, has received the most attention.

Because, at the same time as this news, the news of [Li Mu's proof of Goldbach's conjecture] also spread.

For a while, the voices of discussion on various related forums were boiling.

Mathoverflow, that post by Faltins and Schultz.

The post was published by Schultz.

【…… Faltins and I happened to be at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics for the past two days, and when we saw this paper, we were immediately amazed!

I can't believe that Li actually came up with such a wonderful proof again......

The combination of elliptic curves and K-mode theory amazed me!

……】

Schultz blew violently, and the location of the second floor was Faltins' evaluation.

[I must admit that Lee is now the fourth best mathematician I have ever met in my life.] 】

And under the replies of the two bigwigs, all kinds of melon-eating masses are boiling.
