Chapter 423: Not Just a Miracle by One Person!

"Fuck, awesome!"

His hands were flushed from the applause, and Xu Chenyang, who hadn't sweared for a long time, couldn't help but swear.

Although the person standing on the stage was not him, and he had never even met him, but he still couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and cheered for this moment from the bottom of his heart.

The millennium problem that plagued the world of mathematics and physics has now been solved by a Chinese scholar.

This is not just his own miracle.

It is a miracle in the entire Huaguo mathematics world!

I believe that after today, even people who have nothing to do with mathematics will hear his name repeatedly from newspapers and TV.

Even the glory of the Fields Medal will be overshadowed by this historical achievement.

Rather, the Fields Award will be honored because of him.

"..."

Sitting next to Xu Chenyang, Zhang Wei, who was also staring at the person on the stage, didn't say a word.

Apart from shock, he had no other thoughts in his mind.

Taking off his glasses, Zhang Wei wiped the damp lenses, and saw the expression on his face from the reflection on the lenses.

Originally, I was only invited to deliver a 45-minute report, but I didn't expect to witness history by accident.

CCTV has never broadcast the Fields Medal award ceremony live, and the report on the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians is usually only interspersed in a group of short messages.

But tomorrow's news broadcast may make an exception because of him.

Although for him, these things seem to be secondary...

On the other side, on stage.

Thunderous applause echoed in his ears, and the turmoil in his chest could not be subsided for a long time. Looking at the audience standing up and applauding, Lu Zhou was a little absent-minded for a while.

It took about ten seconds for him to recover from that brief absence.

The applause gradually stopped.

The standing audience sat back one after another.

Although his report was over, the report meeting did not end.

Rather, the next part is the key to the report.

Even if his report is good enough, even if he has succeeded in convincing many people, there will still inevitably be doubts.

In the question and answer session, he will answer the questions raised by his peers one by one.

And whether he can successfully answer all the voices of doubt will also determine whether his thesis can finally be recognized by the entire academic community...

...

The questioning session took longer than Lu Zhou expected.

Terence Tao was the first to ask a question about L-manifolds.

Then Fefferman, Qiu Chengtong...

Almost all the big cows in the field of partial differential equations slapped their faces during the questioning session.

For the questions from these colleagues, Lu Zhou also gave detailed answers one by one.

In this question-and-answer exchange, time passed quickly.

However, until twelve o'clock at noon, there was still an endless stream of questioners.

Since everyone had an empty stomach, the organizer had to announce an intermission, and after consulting Lu Zhou's opinion, the rest of the questioning session was arranged to continue after two o'clock in the afternoon.

Finally had time to rest, relieved Lu Zhou stepped down from the stage.

However, he didn't even have time to go to the toilet, and just two steps out of the lecture hall, he was surrounded by the crowd waiting outside.

Among those who surrounded him were journalists, scholars, and some who were simply his admirers. Not everyone had the opportunity to witness this historic scene on the spot, and many people have been waiting outside the lecture hall.

"Hello, Professor Lu, I'm a reporter from Columbia Television..."

"... Please accept our interview with the Daily Mail!"

"What's the result? Is there a general solution to the NS equation in three dimensions? Is it smooth?"

"God Lu! Can I shake hands with you?"

"Let me take a picture! Just a picture! I'm going to tweet it, oh Shet, don't step on my feet!"

"Can you leave me your contact information? I want to ask you some math questions..."

Startled by the enthusiasm of these people, Lu Zhou originally thought that everyone was in the lecture hall behind him, but he did not expect that the outside of the lecture hall was also crowded like this.

But after thinking about it, after all, this is the International Congress of Mathematicians held every four years, so he was relieved.

In addition to the invited participants, there are not a few people who come to watch at their own expense every year. In addition to some important conferences or reports, the International Union of Mathematicians does not exclude these mathematics enthusiasts from participating in this nine-day event.

However, understanding is nothing more than understanding. Looking at the more and more excited crowd, Lu Zhou still couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

The questioning session will continue in the afternoon. He is hungry and tired now. He just wants to find a place to eat and then take a nap. He has neither the time nor the energy to satisfy these people's demands.

Fortunately, the organizers of the conference discovered the situation here in time, and with the help of the staff, Lu Zhou finally broke through the crowd...

...

After twelve o'clock, the organizer of the conference, the International Mathematical Union, provided a free light meal for everyone.

The content of the meal is black bean meal and yerba mate tea with local characteristics, and a chocolate ball as dessert. Although it is not very rich, it is full of weight.

In the restaurant of the hotel, Lu Zhou took a plate and found a corner to sit down in a very low-key manner.

But not long after he sat down, the three students who came to Brazil with him to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians came over.

"Professor, your report just now was really cool!"

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou with the dinner plate, Hardy excitedly waved his fists, as if it was not a report meeting just now, but a football or rugby match.

Qin Yue, who was sitting next to him, also nodded excitedly, with a rare excited expression on his face.

However, compared to Hardy, he has a relatively honest and dull personality. He doesn't talk so much, and he is not particularly good at expressing. After holding back for a long time, he only uttered one sentence.

"epic!"

Curving the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"Aren't you envious?"

Hardy: "Is this still useful?"

Neither Qin Yue nor Vera spoke, but they both nodded in unison.

A one-hour report meeting is already awesome.

A special report meeting specially held for him is no longer an achievement that can be summed up in the word awesome.

Looking at his students, Lu Zhou smiled, and continued in an encouraging tone: "If you are envious, work hard! One day, you will have the opportunity to stand there, use the knowledge I taught you, and yourselves The knowledge created changes the world as we know it. The future belongs to you.”

Hardy: "...Professor."

Lu Zhou: "What's wrong?"

Hardy scratched the back of his head: "It's nothing... I just want to say, I'm twenty-five years old, maybe a year older than you. When you get old, we're almost the same..."

Lu Zhou: "..."

You talk a lot!

...

After finishing his lunch in a hurry, Lu Zhou sent the plate to the collection point, and then left the restaurant.

There is still an hour and a half before the start of the "second half", and he plans to go back to his room and take a nap to recharge his batteries for the afternoon question session.

At this time, Vera, who had been silent at the dining table before, suddenly followed his footsteps and stopped him in the corridor outside the restaurant.

"……professor."

Hearing that voice, Lu Zhou stopped and turned to look at the little girl who stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

Although she was embarrassed to express her feelings, Vera, who hesitated for a long time when she thought that the other two had sent her congratulations, finally made up her mind, and blushed and whispered the belated congratulations.

"The way you looked on stage just now...is very handsome."

Hearing that someone praised him for being handsome, Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

"That's a must."
