Chapter 201 Already Proven? !

There was no sound in the venue.

The atmosphere is somewhat subtle...

Awkward?

Ma Changan frowned slightly, thinking that someone would agree with him, but the fact seemed to be the opposite.

Judging from the reaction of the audience in the venue, I always felt that the speech I had prepared for a long time did not seem to impress anyone.

But in fact, it doesn't matter, even if someone disagrees with what he said, he also believes that it is impossible for someone to stand up to help this kid refute himself.

Because behind him is the Aurora School, Aurora professors will not say anything first, and other professors will not take the risk of offending a "popular academician candidate" for someone they don't know very well.

The only variable is that old man Qiu Chengtong, he doesn't care about your background and even his own students when he gets angry, but Ma Chang'an paid attention and didn't see the face he didn't want to see.

However……

Sitting not far to his left, an old professor coughed lightly, and spoke in a not too loud but still clear voice.

"Hey, Comrade Ma Chang'an, please sit down first. You can discuss this issue with Mr. Lu in private after the report meeting is over. The report meeting will mainly discuss academic issues."

Ma Changan froze for a moment, and glanced to the side in surprise, unexpectedly, someone would refute him.

Wei Siyang, who was sitting next to the boss taking notes, was also surprised, but when he turned his face and saw the respect of the old professor, the surprise in his heart suddenly turned into shock.

It turned out to be Academician Guo!

A master in the field of nonlinear development equations!

But he...

Isn't he a professor at Aurora University?

Ma Chang'an's face was a little ugly. Although Guo's status as an old academician deserved his respect, it didn't make him afraid.

He is the direct descendant of Mr. Gu, and the younger brother of Academician Hong. Even though his academic attainment is not high, he still thinks that he has some status in this circle.

However, that being said, he is a member of the same school after all, so he has to be more tactful when speaking.

"Academician Guo, I don't agree with what you said. I am also concerned about whether the country's scientific research funding has been implemented. This issue is not an obscure issue. Why can't it be discussed at an academic conference?"

After a pause, Ma Changan said earnestly.

"We all know that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Whether a set of novel mathematical methods is useful depends on what practical problems it solves, rather than using it to study things that have been given results by predecessors. Justify your work."

"Otherwise, to innovate for the sake of innovation, to create methods for the sake of creating methods, and to learn to make castles in the air, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

"Hehe." Academician Guo shook his head with a smile, not as knowledgeable as him, and sat down slowly.

He had intended to remind Academician Hong in good faith, but he didn't expect that this person surnamed Ma not only didn't appreciate it, but started ideological work with him.

Pity……

Standing on the stage, Lu Zhou looked at Ma Chang'an strangely, and said to himself that you are not my mentor, what should I report to you after my research?

He also talked about the methodology of natural science with me?

Don't you know that I only took two of the four politics courses?

However, just as he was about to speak, a familiar voice came from the back of the venue.

"Let me say a few words."

I saw an old man with gray temples standing up slowly from the corridor side of the back row of the venue, with some impatience in his voice.

"I wonder if Comrade Ma Chang'an has subscribed to the Annual Journal of Mathematics?"

Seeing this old man, Lu Zhou was immediately surprised.

this……

Wasn't it precisely during his undergraduate graduation defense that Academician Xiang Huanan made a special trip from the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to "make things difficult" for him?

Long time no see, the old man is still in such spirit.

Upon hearing this question, Ma Changan's face darkened.

He is a math guy. If you ask him if he has subscribed to the top four journals, it is like asking an undergraduate whether he brought his textbooks to class or whether he brought a pen to the examination room.

Ma Chang'an smiled faintly, and said, "I'm joking to the academician, the "Annual Journal of Mathematics" is in the Aurora Mathematics Department, but every office is subscribed."

"Then have you read it?" Without waiting for his answer, Xiang Huanan continued without showing any face, "If you read the latest issue of "Annual of Mathematics", you wouldn't ask such a question .”

Ma Changan froze for a moment, did not understand the meaning of the words, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Academician Xiang smiled, and said in a steady voice: "In the latest issue of "Annual of Mathematics", a paper on the proof of the Polignac conjecture was published. The author of that paper is exactly the person on the stage in front of you. The reporter. And the method he used to prove this conjecture is exactly what you call a 'castle in the air'."

The hall fell silent.

There are people with deadpan faces and indifference to matters outside of academia.

Some people had expressions they had known for a long time, such as Academician Guo who stood up to remind Professor Ma Changan earlier. These old professors have obviously read the latest issue of "Annual of Mathematics", and the reason why they are sitting here is waiting to hear the method of "I can't write here due to space reasons" in the paper.

And the people who read the "Annual of Mathematics" for the first time, after all, are a minority.

The expressions on most people's faces are surprise, surprise, shock...and disbelief!

No one can believe that the young man who solved the twin prime number conjecture at the beginning of this year, in less than a year, extended the special form of k=1 to infinity on this basis, taking advantage of the opportunity to make the Polignac conjecture Also to solve!

Many people did not understand at first why the Huaguo Mathematical Society suddenly made such a bold decision to award the Chern Prize in Mathematics to a young man who was only 21 years old.

At this moment, all doubts are swept away, and all controversies are turned into affirmations.

If it weren't for him, who deserves to win this award!

As for Ma Changan, after hearing the news, he was stunned and lost his words.

His first reaction was disbelief, and his second was still disbelief.

But it was impossible for Academician Xiang to lie to him, especially something that could be checked by flipping through journals.

The horse's face gradually turned into a pig's liver color. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He wanted to sit down, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he looked like he couldn't get off the stage.

Standing on the commanding heights of morality before, he put a lot of hats on Lu Zhou's head, but now, these hats have all been thrown back, but he himself has become the laughing stock of everyone.

Sitting not far away, looking at Ma Changan whose face was constantly changing, Academician Guo, who stood up to remind him earlier, shook his head.

Normal academic discussions are nothing. If you have to care about this and that when you ask a question, and care about your status, then there is no need to talk about academic conferences or make reports.

But there is no need to bring up some nonsense questions at the formal report meeting.

And in the end, he couldn't make a stab at it, and he made a joke, and it was still in front of so many people.

He made such a big fool of himself, even if Academician Hong was his senior brother, it probably wouldn't be easy for him to excuse him.

If this makes him an academician for 17 years, not only will it be difficult to convince the public, but he will also be questioned along with the Aurora School...

It seems that the matter of evaluating academicians should be delayed for a while.

At least, let's wait until he produces a slightly bigger result!

Thinking of this, Academician Guo couldn't help but look at the young man on the stage meaningfully.

This kid was able to hold his breath. With such a big achievement, he didn't say a word before it was published.

Even the horse Chang'an, who was relying on the old and betraying the old, was almost on his head. This kid didn't give any explanation, just watched him jump into the hole he dug quietly.

This kind of scheming and forbearance is really not like a young man!
