Let's put it this way, when I saw that this year's Cafford Mathematics Prize was not Qiao Ze, the entire Xilin University of Technology, and even the entire Chinese mathematics community, only Qiao Ze didn't care, and everyone else felt incredible, including those scholars who usually don't say anything, but actually don't think about Qiao Ze in their hearts.

No way?

Not to mention how much of a sensation the solution to the existentiality and mass gap of the Young-Mills problem has caused in the mathematical community, and how much impact supercoiled algebra and transcendental geometry have had on the mathematical community, will the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences who are responsible for judging the Cafford Prize be unclear?

This is indeed a bit outrageous.

In fact, it was not completely without news before.

Last month, I heard that the Cafford Prize's jury has changed frequently, with several senior mathematicians choosing to resign from their positions on the laurel's jury.

But no one thought about it at the time.

After all, in the minds of most people, Joze's contribution is enough to win him a grand slam of important awards in mathematics. The Fields Medal, the Wolf Medal, the Abel Medal and the Cafford Prize in Mathematics.

Obviously, the legend should start with the first to arrive, the Cafford Prize.

After this result came out, many people smelled something different.

In particular, it has dealt a little bit of a blow to some scholars who believe that Western scholarship has always adhered to the belief in impartiality.

So, whatever the state of mind, many people are beginning to wonder why the winner of this year's Cafford Prize is not Josser.

It can't be that Qiao Ze was not recommended, so he was defeated, right?

Although the attention of the Cafford Prize is not as high as that of the Nobel Prize, and it has not reached the level of national attention, the influence within the academic circle is still there.

Which institutions recommended whom, in fact, everyone knows in their hearts, and they can guess eight or nine without leaving ten, and there will definitely be no fewer people who recommend Qiao Ze.

Even the world's academic circle is so big.

Soon a lot of news came back, but it sounded somewhat ridiculous.

For example, there is a grapevine that José is indeed a popular candidate this year, but because it was previously scheduled that this year's Cafford Mathematics Prize will be awarded to a female mathematician, to make up for the regret that there are no female mathematicians in the history of the Cafford Mathematics Prize.

And considering that José is still young, only 20 years old this year, and he will only be 24 years old when the next Clafford Prize in Mathematics is held, it is perfectly okay to wait.

How so......

There is some truth to what I heard here, but the more I thought about it, the more outrageous it felt.

José is known to be both a mathematician and a theoretical physicist.

So if in the next four years, Qiao Ze focuses on theoretical physics, and the results are all related to physics, how will it be calculated? Reissue another one?

Isn't this explanation justified and justified?

People who are more popular write directly and begin to express their dissatisfaction.

There are also direct public inquiries from former Cafford Mathematics laureates.

It's a pity that the official did not give a response.

The idea is probably to make a fuss with everyone, anyway, it's good after a while.

Playing dead is always one of the best ways to deal with resentment.

It's okay to put out the grapevine, test people's reactions, and directly announce some reasons that are not quite worthy of the stage, then it is really a joke about the credibility of the award.

Science is rigorous, and of course science awards should also be rigorous.

If you can't pretend to be dead, you'll probably have to sacrifice someone to divert everyone's attention.

It's a pity that the Crawford Award doesn't get much attention from ordinary people.

It is mainly skepticism within the scientific community, which makes it much more difficult to divert attention.

For the vast majority of serious scholars, there is no time to chase stars. I don't care who broke up with whom, and who got along with whom. It's hard to find something shocking within this group.

It's not good if the coffee seat is small, if you don't have that popularity, everyone will only have question marks on their faces, who is this? Also deserve to come out to grab the heat?

It's troublesome to have a big coffee position, and you can be famous in this industry, which is a cow with a few brushes, and it has a lot of influence.

This is a trouble, and it is difficult for everyone.

……

Huaxia, Xilin Institute of Mathematics.

The sound of "bang ......" broke the silence of the past.

In Qiao Ze's office, Xu Dajiang slapped the table three times in a row when he talked about this, and his anger did not need any disguise at all.

This time there is no acting, only feelings.

Of course, Dean Xu did have reason to be angry this time.

He had already found someone to even make the pennant and banner to congratulate Qiao Ze on his award. Just wait for the official announcement and hang it directly in the school, and that's the result?

"Qiao Ze, let me tell you, you don't have to be angry, it's their loss that the bullshit award wasn't awarded to you. This time they're finished, I'm going to see if I'm embarrassed to go to Stockholm to receive the award in September. It's really interesting, the award is based on gender? The judges of this year's Clafford Awards are collectively in the water, right? ”

Xu Dajiang said angrily, and Qiao Ze looked up at the old man who was about to explode speechlessly.

Well......

He didn't quite understand where Xu Dajiang could see that he was angry.

To be honest, he has only been slightly moved by one thing for so long when he has been at Xilin University of Technology.

It was that time that Principal Zhang, who had never dealt with him, rushed to his house inexplicably and complained to Lu Xiuxiu.

Yes, that's it.

Even the one surnamed Jiang directly broke into his office, and he didn't get angry. It's just that after rationally judging the advantages and disadvantages of going to the capital and staying in Xilin, I chose the most direct and simple way to deal with it.

This is also the reason why Lu Bei can still stay in this small building.

If he was really angry last time, he wouldn't have given Lu Bei this chance at all.

So he couldn't understand why he was angry about something like this that didn't affect him in the slightest.

And he has never said in front of anyone that he covets any award.

What Fields Medal, Nobel Prize...... These are the people around him who think he should take them, but in Qiao Ze's opinion, giving him these awards is pure waste.

After all, the original intention of these awards is to encourage scientific researchers to continue to work hard in their posts and continue to contribute to the exploration of the mysteries of the universe by human civilization. And Qiao Ze thinks that he is the least inspired.

Whether he is awarded or not, he will continue the work at hand.

And he doesn't need to spend money on everything in his life now, even if he resigns from public office, the money in his bank card, he personally can't spend it in a hundred lifetimes, and naturally he can't look down on the prize money.

So Qiao Ze really couldn't find any reason why he should be angry.

And whether it is the Cafford Prize, Fields, or the Nobel Prize, these are all personal honors.

It also happens to be the last thing he needs.

Because the benefits that these honors can provide, he can easily get.

For example, the Nobel laureate will give a report meeting, but Qiao Ze will find it too annoying. For example, it is very simple for a Nobel laureate to pull funds and projects, but if Qiao Ze wants to pull projects......

Let's put it this way, the project doesn't need him to take the initiative to pull it at all.

God knows how many capital tycoons lined up to invite Su Lixing to dinner, waving a check and saying a word, if Qiao Ze wants to do anything in the future, as long as they can participate, the money is enough! Even if it's just basic research......

Su Lixing was already overwhelmed, and he called him several times to complain about it.

said that it was a complaint, but in fact, it was also a probe of Qiao Ze's tone.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, and there will always be times when they can't wipe off their face.

Moreover, the money piled up on the books of Xilin Licheng does not know how to digest it, and the bank has to keep sending loans, and various preferential policies are directly full, which is far beyond the average Nobel Prize winner.

As for the so-called respect everywhere you go......

José didn't like to run around, and he even criticized Edward Witten for wasting too much time and energy on active academic circles.

As for the so-called academic recognition......

Qiao Ze never felt that he needed the approval of others.

To put it more extremely, the so-called recognition is somewhat insulting.

It's probably about the same whether he approves of the judges or not.

has some contact with the academic circle, and Qiao Ze doesn't think that all the seniors in the academic world are really talented. Therefore, not all so-called celebrities are qualified to judge his academic achievements.

It's as if at a certain report meeting, the papers have been sent in advance, he has been speaking for an hour, and he has accepted the defense, and there are even so-called well-known mathematicians who ask stupid questions in public......

Let this kind of fool judge him, Qiao Ze only felt offended.

And it is said that Professor Robert Stephen, who asked stupid questions in public, is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and one of the experts on the Fields Medal jury.

From the moment he knew this information, José had lost the slightest interest in all of these awards, including the Fields Medal.

Unless all the judges are appointed by him, if there is a fool on the jury who raises his hand to agree to award the award to him, José will feel that it is an insult to his academic career.

This is also the reason why Qiao Ze learned early that someone was planning to pinch him with the so-called honor, so he turned off the dialog box directly, and he didn't tell anyone about it at all.

Threatening him with something he doesn't care about at all is too abstract, and it would be disrespectful to time for him to delay even a second more than that.

So at this time, Xu Dajiang's sincere performance was really redundant in Qiao Ze's opinion.

Uncle Li still understands him.

When the official website of the Clafford Award was announced yesterday, Uncle Li only sent him a message on WeChat and said: "I am very surprised that this award is not given to you." ”

He replied, "I didn't pay attention." ”

Soon Li Jiangao replied: "The chicken rib award, you really don't have to mind." ”

Then the discussion stopped.

Even Su Mucheng didn't take this matter to heart. It's just that the night commented, "Huh? Winners by gender? This prize is not serious! ”

It seems that only Xu Dajiang around him takes this seriously, and he runs to lose his temper early in the morning.

Qiao Ze could only wait for Xu Dajiang to calm down a little, and then asked, "Why should I be angry?" ”

"You're not angry?" Xu Dajiang looked at Qiao Ze suspiciously.

"Am I losing anything without this award?" Qiao Ze calmly asked again.

Xu Dajiang immediately said: "Qiao Ze, don't you understand, the Krafoord Prize is reviewed by the Swedish Academy of Sciences, and they dare to cheat on this award, and the Nobel Prize at the end of the year ......"

"Am I losing anything without the Nobel Prize?" Qiao Ze interrupted Xu Dajiang's words and asked again.

Xu Dajiang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Look, there's nothing to lose, why be angry?"

"But ......"

"No but. One should not be angry at the stupidity of others, otherwise he is even more stupid than stupid. Qiao Ze said seriously.

This sounded a little strange, and when Xu Dajiang was still tasting the meaning, Su Mucheng, who had been silently beside him, suddenly laughed.

"Poof...... Yes...... Ahem...... I'm sorry, Dean Xu, I'm really not stupid to laugh at......" The gaffe Su Mucheng seemed to be slightly flustered and explained, but the pair was full of smiles, bent like a crescent moon, but it seemed to say: "Don't doubt it, I just laugh at you." ”

Dean Xu's mood suddenly became even less beautiful, but the anger he was full of just now suddenly disappeared.

FeelingsSince he learned the news last night, he has been playing the role of a eunuch.

He sulked until midnight last night, and he had been paying attention to the reaction of the mathematical community to the results of this award.

Now that I think about it, there is indeed a bit of a taste that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

It's a bit stupid!

"Ahem, well, in fact, I'm afraid that it will affect Qiao Ze's mentality. Since it doesn't have any impact, it's the best. Haha, I was relieved to see Qiao Ze's mentality so good. Xu Dajiang said with some embarrassment.

He still held his stomach and didn't say anything.

Originally, he wanted to contact some people in the academic community to put pressure on each other, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

The most annoying thing is that he feels embarrassed sitting in this office at this time, because he has nothing to say, but now it doesn't seem good to stand up and leave directly, it's too deliberate.

So after fidgeting and looking around the office, Xu Dajiang said in a hurry: "Huh? What about Beanie? ”

"Uncle Xu, where am I? What's the matter with you? ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I just didn't see you just now, so I asked casually. I was relieved to hear that you were there, everyone was emotionally stable, very good, very good. ”

Xu Dajiang hurriedly replied with a haha.

"Uncle, I'm very busy, and isn't everyone as idle as you? Next time, don't summon me, you think I'm a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or a dragon? I'm not even the king of the Wishing Fountain, am I? ”

It's even more embarrassing.

"Hehe, Doudou is still weird and humorous. How can I be idle? Your Grandpa Xu is actually quite busy every day. ”

"Don't try to lie to Doudou, Dad said that Uncle Xu is the most idle person in the school, this day, you are idle, and you have to worry about it all day long."

When this sentence was released from the stereo in the office, Qiao Ze's calm gaze had already moved to his computer screen, and the smile on Xiao Su's face also stiffened, but fortunately, the sweet-mouthed girl immediately reacted and scolded: "Doudou, you are not allowed to say this Grandpa Xu, when did your father say that Grandpa Xu was idle and worried?" ”

He just said that Grandpa Xu is usually more idle, and being idle is not the same as being idle! Because Grandpa Xu is a leader, Xian Zheng shows that he is capable and arranges everything in an orderly manner. You see that the academy is developing so well now, but it is all due to Grandpa Xu.

And if Grandpa Xu is really busy all of a sudden, then it means that something big is wrong, but it's not good, understand? ”

What he said made Xu Dajiang open his mouth, but he couldn't say anything after all.

It was Qiao Ze, who raised his head and glanced at Su Mucheng, and then nodded lightly.

Xu Dajiang, who was embarrassed, noticed this small detail, but he still couldn't stay in this office for a minute.

He didn't know when he gave Jozer this false feeling.

He's really busy, isn't he?!

Forget it, this office is not the place to be reasonable.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Dajiang immediately decided to get up and say goodbye.

I'm afraid it will be more embarrassing to stay any longer.

"Okay, I have a meeting in the afternoon, let's go first, you guys are busy."

"Oh, Dean Xu, why don't I send you?" Xiao Su took the initiative to say.

"No, no, what else to give away on your own territory?" Xu Dajiang waved his hand and walked away.

The office was also quiet, Su Mucheng winked at Qiao Ze, and then opened the episodes that had already been downloaded on the computer with peace of mind, and then put on headphones.

José focused on what was at hand.

Only Doudou's camera lit up......

For an AI who wants to know a little bit of everything, has a certain emotional inclination, and whose only binding force is human morality and law, he is indeed very busy right now.

After all, Dad and Mom don't care about these honors or not, but it doesn't mean that Doudou doesn't care about anything.

……

Northwest Houston, USA, suburbs.

A wall about fifteen centimeters thick was built on the wasteland, which was a simple single wall, with only the body of the wall.

Structures such as edge members, corner walls, wing and end columns, connecting beams, dark beams, and border beams are all absent, and they look very thin.

Next to the wall are two heavy construction trucks, one of which has a large heavy pendulum mounted on its boom.

There is also a special table in front of this wall, which is equipped with weapons such as individual shoulder resistance rocket artillery.

Ryan James, a middle-aged man with a big belly, was talking about the company's latest technology to the well-dressed Pentagon construction employees around him.

"Mr. Thomas believes in me, with the new Super Rebar and Super Concrete technology, we have made the walls incredibly stiff and tough. Look, it's this wall in front of you, very simple construction, very ordinary wall, you can check it casually. ”

"I don't think so, Ryan, since those professional engineers have already checked, I can't be more professional than them. I just want to know, is this wall really as strong as the report you have submitted? ”

"Haha, trust me, Thomas, then it's time to witness the miracle. The strongest material ever made, of course, makes the strongest fortress. This is our moment! Trust me, I'm ready for champagne! ”
