Chapter 1002

Go to Beijing.

In an apartment in the faculty and staff community of Yanda University, two old men were sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting and bragging.

Because both of them are mathematicians, and they are academicians, the two old men chatted, and the topic naturally turned to mathematics.

Coincidentally, the IMO competition has just come to an end, and when it comes to the results of the Chinese national team in the competition, Academician Xiang Huanan also has an expression of approval.

"The team is first, with 5 gold medals and 1 silver medal, and one with a perfect score. The team led by Academician Wang can be said to have achieved outstanding results!"

Academician Wang Shicheng smiled, waved his hands and said.

"Hey, what does it have to do with me? The competition is all done by young people like Professor Yang. During the training, I only went to transfer twice. Apart from helping out with a venue, I didn't help much. And to get this result, it is because those students are good in themselves, they are good seedlings for studying mathematics. What our mathematics center can help them is to help them make up for some shortcomings in knowledge."

Although he said so, judging from the upturned corner of his mouth, the old gentleman was quite happy.

At his current age, it is basically impossible for him to continue to make achievements in academics, especially since he stepped down from the position of chairman of the Huaguo Mathematical Society, he has basically retreated to the second line and started to take care of It's been a year.

The name of the teacher who led the team to participate in the IMO competition this time is Yang Yong'an, who can be regarded as his last disciple, and besides Tian Gang, the current academic leader of the Yan University School, he is also his favorite student.

He would naturally be happy that his favorite student could lead the Huaguo Olympic team to such a pleasing result.

What do you say?

At this age, people don't want money anymore, fame has reached the ceiling, and there is nothing to pursue. If they can leave something for the people behind, whether it is knowledge or talent, it will be a blessing to him. A thing to be happy about.

"You are being modest when you say that. A good seedling is a good seedling, but it depends on who cultivates it, right?" Xiang Huanan laughed, and continued in a tone of emotion, "But to be honest, since the beginning of promoting quality After the reduction of education and Olympiad points policy, it becomes more and more difficult to win the first place, and it is not easy to get five gold medals this time.”

"That's right." Wang Shicheng nodded, and said sympathetically, "Those who engage in basic science still have to rely on the support of the state and society. The current environment is definitely different from that of ten years ago, reducing burdens and entertaining while teaching." It's politically correct, but anyway, it's pretty good to get this grade."

Basic science cannot directly affect a country's scientific research capabilities, but a country with weak basic science cannot stand in the forefront of the world anyway.

Especially math stuff.

Although knowledge is indeed shared, the methods used and the inheritance of experience are not carried in books or hard disks, but are based on people.

"What you said is true." Academician Xiang Huanan sighed, "Speaking of this, it is thanks to Academician Lu. Do you know how many people have been inspired by his deeds to enter this field? I have been to several places I asked those children who want to be scientists why they want to be scientists when they grow up, and most of their answers are that they want to be Professor Lu—”

"puff--!"

Seeing Wang Shicheng who suddenly choked out a mouthful of tea, Xiang Huanan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed a few tissues to his coughing old friend.

"What's wrong with you? You choked on the tea leaves? We're not too young, so be careful."

"..."

The old face turned red, Wang Shicheng wanted to speak, but the breath was still stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak at all.

This old thing!

Just a second ago, they were praising their contribution to Yan University, but before they turned around, they flattered that Academician Lu again. It's fine if it's someone else, but it happens to be this hated kid...

After patting his chest for a long time, Wang Shicheng came over breathlessly, took a tissue to wipe his mouth and the tea spilled on his neckline, and said in a heavy breath.

"...Nothing, you continue!"

Looking at the old guy's expression, Xiang Huanan always felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Shaking his head, just when he was about to put this matter aside and continue talking about the exciting topic that he didn't finish just now, he suddenly froze for a moment, patted the back of his head and said in embarrassment.

"...Look at my memory, where did I just talk?"

Wang Shicheng: "Forget it, let's change the subject."

"Okay, it's not an important thing anyway, hey! People, this memory," he patted his thigh/leg with a long sigh, and Academician Xiang Nanhua suddenly remembered that there was one important thing he didn't ask, so he continued Said, "Speaking of which, I almost forgot to ask, we seem to have achieved a perfect score this time, right? What's the name of that young man?"

Wang Shicheng: "...Jimo."

"Ji Mo? The surname Ji is rare. It's quite an interesting name," Xiang Huanan said with a smile, "This kid will definitely be trained at Yanda University in the future, right?"

He had almost recovered his emotions, but when Wang Shicheng heard these words, his old face twitched again.

"...He didn't report to Yan University."

Nima!

Is this which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted? !

He even wondered if the old fellow came to visit him, and came here specially to piss him off.

If Xiang Huanan knew what this old friend was thinking, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. Whether it was a pot that was not open and a pot to be lifted, he really didn't expect that any young man would refuse Yanda's invitation.

"Didn't come to Yanda? Didn't you? Did... go to Shuimu?"

Almost through the gap between his teeth, Wang Shicheng squeezed out a word.

"Jinling!"

What he regrets the most now is that he casually made a polite statement in Shanghai last time, and invited Professor Lu to come to Yanda Mathematical Center for a tour. Just because of that time, this guy not only poached Chen Yang from him with "unlimited potential", but also hooked up this good seed who got full marks in the IMU competition.

I hate it!

Hate it!

Hearing that it was Jinling, Xiang Huanan finally nodded his head knowingly, but he was thinking of something completely different from what Wang Shicheng thought, and he rubbed the stubble on his chin and muttered.

"Jinling... It's okay to go to Jinling. Professor Lu is there, and it's good to follow him. Don't think about becoming a monk and going to live in a temple."

At the IMO competition in 2006, Liu from Huaguo and Schulz from Germany both won the gold medal with full marks, but now one of them is already the winner of the Fields Medal and is considered the most promising. One of the scholars who hoped to surpass Faltings, but the other had escaped into Buddhism, and his dharma name was Xianyu, which made everyone who heard it sigh.

Thinking of this, Xiang Huanan couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache.

He had seen that junior before, he was a nice young man, and he had a fight with the old guy sitting next to him just because of this matter, thinking that Yan University had buried his talents.

The two old men just sighed and regretted because of different things, and soon it was time for lunch.

As usual, while eating, Wang Shicheng turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, the international news began on time.

The host sitting in the studio ended with a few opening remarks, and soon began today's first international news.

The content of this important news is naturally about the anti-terrorism military exercise code-named "Mission".

Looking at the screen shown on the TV, watching the airborne capsule falling from the deep space to the earth, Wang Shicheng, who was sitting at the dining table, showed a hint of relief in his eyes, but he soon sighed with some melancholy.

"Now I really can't keep up with the times. When I first heard the term Aerospace Forces on TV, I didn't understand what it was. I didn't expect that it was only a year or two, and even exercises were arranged. "

"It's like this when people get old," sighed sympathetically, and Xiang Huanan, who was watching TV, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Speaking of this military exercise, I still listened to it at the Chinese Academy of Sciences." There was a rumor."

Wang Shicheng: "What rumor?"

Xiang Huanan: "It is said that this military exercise was actually arranged to escort Academician Lu to Russia to participate in the IMU conference... But I think this rumor is a bit ridiculous. It is not that Mr. Qian did not visit abroad before. Now No matter how severe the international situation in China is, it is impossible to walk on thin ice more than it was back then? Anyway, I think, no matter how serious it is, it will not be possible to engage in such a big show.”

Academician Lu again...

This is already the third time Wang Shicheng has heard this annoying name today.

But this time, he didn't react in particular, and didn't even comment on the matter.

After being silent for a while, the old man sighed softly.

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a scholar who has received such courtesy..."

And he not only did it, he did it as a mathematician.

Even though there are 10,000 people who don't like this name, Wang Shicheng still has to convince him that his achievements are indeed worthy of this honor...

"It's just a rumor, so don't take it too seriously. But this kid is really awesome. I didn't fool him to come to my Chinese Academy of Sciences to study as a graduate student before, but it turned out that Lao Lu took this advantage away. It's a shame." It’s big!” Looking at Wang Shicheng, who was sighing, he smiled and continued to South China, “Speaking of which, you are also invited to this IMU conference. Last time you had something to do in Brazil, this time Do you want to go again?"

It would be a pity not to go.

This kind of event only happens once every four years, so it's hard to say how many times I can participate.

But if I go, I have to see that annoying face again...

Facing this question, Wang Shicheng struggled for a while before gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and finally nodded with a straight face.

"Go! Everyone's invitation letter has been sent, why not go?"

Although I don't like that Lu Zhou very much.

But I can see the Huaguo mathematics community blooming brilliantly on the world stage...

He was still very happy in his heart.
