Chapter 212 The Youngest Winner!

It wasn't just Lu Zhou who was shocked.

And everyone here.

Especially the news reporters ambushing on both sides of the venue, like sharks smelling fishy, ​​their eyes were shining when they looked at the awarding platform.

This year's Federal Mathematical Society meeting broke the convention and awarded the Cole Prize in Number Theory and the Cole Prize in Algebra at the same time!

Properly big news!

The applause was delayed for two seconds, and as sporadic voices pierced the silence in the venue, the applause swept the audience like a storm.

Sitting next to Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan clapped excitedly and said, "I'll just say, this medal must be yours!"

Lu Zhou smiled, not knowing how to respond.

After being betrayed by the old man Francis, he still hasn't recovered.

MMP, it made him forget the acceptance speech he had been thinking about for months!

Many people were surprised by the decision of the Federal Mathematical Society, but no one expressed opposition.

This is the best option.

Schultz, who stood up, was obviously stunned for a while, but he also smiled and gave congratulatory applause to Lu Zhou who got up later.

The applause gradually died down.

Sitting on the other side of the venue, Professor Deligne looked a little surprised.

After a while, he opened his mouth to make his own evaluation.

"The Federal Mathematical Society has made a bold decision."

"Yes, it is unique in the history of the Cole Prize to award the Number Theory Prize and the Algebra Prize at the same time." Edward Witten smiled and said slowly, "And the two winners are still so young."

One is twenty-eight years old and the other is twenty-one years old, which can be said to be quite young.

For scholars of the older generation, they are naturally gratified to see so many young talents emerging in their research fields.

But this kind of feeling is obviously not shared by everyone.

Deligne said: "It seems that Francis is ready for criticism and doubts."

Witten smiled and said: "Anyway, he should retire next year, right? I would make the same choice. After all, in the future, it can be regarded as a good story."

Amid applause and congratulations, the two talents walked onto the podium together.

Francis, the chairman of the Federal Mathematical Society, personally handed over the medals to the hands of the two, and shook hands with the two with a smile.

"Congratulations! Two young scholars, I wish you greater success in the future!"

"Then, at this exciting moment, please feel free to share your thoughts."

As he spoke, Francis gave up the microphone and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for the two winners to deliver their acceptance speeches.

There are many awards in the field of algebra, and the Cole Award is not the most famous. But in the field of number theory, the Cole Prize is definitely the jewel in the crown.

Previously, the academic circles have been discussing who will be awarded the Cole Prize this year.

Whether to award the Number Theory Award for two consecutive years, or insist on awarding the Algebra Award according to the usual practice, let this young mathematical genius wait until three years later. If it is the former, Schultz's achievements cannot be ignored, but if the latter is chosen, the judges who study number theory are not satisfied.

The main reason is that the combined weight of the twin prime conjecture and the Polignac conjecture is too heavy. Many professors have studied number theory for a lifetime, and the results they produce are only supplements to previous achievements, and it is difficult to make breakthrough changes.

When Lu Zhou proved the twin prime number conjecture, he quoted the topology theory of the predecessors to supplement the sieve method, which can be regarded as an improvement on the previous research work. In less than a year, he proposed his own method - "group construction method".

The progress in this is jaw-dropping!

The two winners delivered their acceptance speeches respectively, and amidst the applause, the main event of awarding came to an end.

As the opening ceremony came to an end, the mathematicians left the venue one after another, while the reporters swarmed up against the crowd, turning their microphones and cameras at the two award presenters.

A reporter asked: "Hello, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. May I ask Mr. Schultz, what do you plan to do after you get this bonus?"

"Buy some beautiful dresses for my wife, and milk powder for the child..." Schultz smiled and said humorously, "Of course, and a new pair of leather shoes for myself."

The camera clicks and clicks to take a picture.

The Los Angeles Times reporter took shorthand notes in a notebook, writing the headlines for tomorrow's news.

Peter Schulz, a fine man in mathematics!

Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, looked at the math genius in surprise.

Hold the grass? !

Even have children?

Everyone is engaged in mathematics, and they are all young people in their twenties. Why are you so good?

Another winner was also not left behind.

Rather, the reporters are much more interested in this Chinese winner who suddenly appeared in their field of vision than this German academic god who has been praised to the sky.

In particular, this winner is only 21 years old, breaking the record for the youngest winner of the Cole Award!

It's simply breath-taking news!

The reporter of the British "Daily Mail" seized the opportunity, and the blonde sister took the lead to ask: "Mr. Lu Zhou, what do you plan to do after you get this bonus?"

As soon as he heard this question, Lu Zhou subconsciously wanted to answer "Save to buy a house", after all his father always nagged him like this.

But then he thought that answering this in public seemed a bit politically incorrect, and it would definitely be used as a fuss when he went back, so he had an idea, cleared his throat, and changed his words solemnly.

"I am going to use this money as a research grant, and at the same time start to challenge the next conjecture!"

The reporter's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, "What is your next goal?"

"Goldbach's conjecture is a good choice," Lu Zhou said with a smile, "but it's not good, after all, I've been paying attention to the 750GeV signal recently, and there are also many topics worth digging in mathematics and physics, and this It might take some of my energy away."

The reporters surrounding them let out a small exclamation.

Goldbach Conjecture!

A characteristic peak of 750GeV!

Although Goldbach's conjecture is lower than the Millennium Problem in terms of importance and research value, it can be treated as one of the "Three Modern Mathematical Problems", and its difficulty and influence are quite amazing! In particular, its influence in the minds of the public is no less than the Millennium Problem.

As for the characteristic peak of 750GeV, it is impossible for many journalists who do science column news not to know about the "750 incident" that was raging in the middle of the year.

An intern used mathematical methods to predict the characteristic peak of 750GeV at the report meeting, and what is even more surprising is that this characteristic peak was actually found. A spokesperson for CERN has blown this discovery into a beacon that illuminates the final piece of the Standard Model puzzle!

Could it be...

What major discovery did the discoverer of the 750GeV characteristic peak have?

Lu Zhou gave the reporters another problem.

The amount of information is a bit large, and the headline of this news is really hard to write.

Seeing the reporter from the Daily Mail writing and scratching, scratching and writing in his notebook, Lu Zhou silently murmured his guilt.

I didn't shut up all of a sudden, the cowhide seemed to be blown a little too big.

He is not a hadron collider, even if there are any discoveries, it is impossible to get out of him.

Let's hope these reporters don't read too much into it.
