The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Chapter 99 Awards Ceremony

On the second day, Pang Xuelin met many guests who came to the award ceremony in the hotel.

Needless to say, Terence Tao, Deligne, Faltings, Yau Shing Tong, Andrew Wiles, etc., Pang Xuelin even met the previous Fields Medal winners, such as Aksay Venkatesh, Peter Schulz, Martin Haier, Mariam Mirzakhani and others.

The Chinese Mathematical Society also sent a representative team headed by President Zhang Deye to participate.

Among these people, some Pang Xuelin had met in the last BSD conjecture report meeting, but some of them only heard their names but never met them.

The Clay Research Institute was able to invite all these people here one by one, which shows that it has put in a lot of effort.

In addition, many dignitaries, celebrities and business tycoons from all over the world participated in the award ceremony.

The Chinese ambassador to France will also be present.

Of course, these people will only appear at the awards ceremony and reception in the evening.

Other times, it became a time for interaction among the participating mathematicians.

In the afternoon, Pang Xuelin went to visit his mentor Tao Zhexuan, and found that Tao Zhexuan was chatting with Deligne, Qiu Chengtong and others in the room, so Pang Xuelin also joined in.

Three generations of mathematicians, old, middle-aged and young, chatted about interesting things in the mathematics world and the topics they are currently researching.

Later, for some reason, more and more mathematicians came to hear the news, so the hotel simply arranged a hall and held a tea party for you big guys.

Until about five o'clock, these talents dispersed separately.

Pang Xuelin returned to the presidential suite where he lived, took a shower, changed into a more solemn suit, and prepared to attend the grand reception held in the hotel banquet hall at 6:30.

When Pang Xuelin came out of the bedroom, he saw Qi Xin coming out of his room.

In order to attend today's dinner, she specially changed into a champagne-colored sleeveless lace tube top evening dress. Her long ponytail was rolled up high, revealing her slender and fair neck like a swan. There was a sapphire pendant necklace on it, with a noble and elegant temperament. Coupled with her almost flawless face, even Pang Xuelin couldn't help breathing a little short of breath at first glance.

Qi Xin came to Pang Xuelin, turned around slightly, and said with a smile, "Does my dress look good?"

"It's beautiful! It's beautiful!"

Pang Xuelin calmed down his heartbeat and said.

Qi Xin stuck out her tongue, and said a little embarrassedly: "I asked the hotel staff to rent this suit, and it costs more than 50,000 euros for a single piece. In addition, this sapphire necklace is even more exaggerated, worth more than 100,000 euros. Finally, I have seen the life of the rich, and wearing this outfit is equivalent to going out in a house?"

Pang Xuelin held back a smile and said, "It should be worth two houses!"

Qi Xin was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Pang Xuelin said solemnly: "You are worth a set, and clothes are worth a set!"

"Okay, the value of cooperating with me is equivalent to a piece of clothing?"

"Haven't you heard a sentence? Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes..."

"Pang Xuelin, that's how you look at me, stop and don't run!"

Qi Xin raised her brows upside down, and stepped forward to settle accounts with Pang Xuelin.

The two went downstairs arguing, and when they were about to reach the banquet hall, they restrained their descriptions. Pang Xuelin bent his arms, and Qi Xin naturally stepped forward to hold Pang Xuelin's arms.

When the two appeared in the banquet hall like a pair of lovers, many people's eyes suddenly focused on Pang Xuelin.

Pang Yongnian and his wife, who had entered the arena with the invitation letter that Pang Xuelin got from the organizer in advance, greeted them first. Mei Yuqing looked Qi Xin up and down and said, "Xiao Xin, you are so beautiful tonight!"

"Auntie, it's not as exaggerated as you say!"

Qi Xin lowered her head shyly.

Mei Yuqing said: "This is not an exaggeration at all. Many people brought their female companions to attend today. You can see how many people can have your temperament and appearance."

"Mom, it's all right, stop praising him! You're blushing when you say that."

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Senior sister, you stay here with my parents for a while, and I'll go chat with you for a while."

"okay!"

Pang Xuelin greeted his parents, then directly picked up a glass of champagne from the passing waiter, and went to chat with the boss he knew.

He didn't forget that he had promised Liu Tingbo. Although there was no way to get these big bosses to Jiangda, there were quite a few underlings under these big bosses who were frustrated. With his affection and prestige, There are always a few.

As the time for the awards ceremony approached, more and more people began to enter the ballroom.

Pang Xuelin shuttled among the crowd, and from time to time someone came up to him to clink glasses, and Pang Xuelin would not refuse anyone who came. Although he did not know most of the people, he still greeted them friendly.

There is nothing Pang Xuelin can do about it, who told him to be the well-deserved protagonist tonight!

Seeing that the participants in the awards ceremony were almost here, soon the host of the conference stepped onto the stage and said into the microphone: "Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Millennium Awards organized by the Clay Institute. The award ceremony for the BSD conjecture proof of the seven major problems is a great day for the global mathematics community on September 20 this year. Professor Pang Xuelin's proof of the BSD conjecture has officially been recognized by the international mathematics community. Professor Pang Xuelin After publishing the relevant paper, the Clay Institute quickly formed an expert group to demonstrate the paper, and the results of the demonstration undoubtedly prove that Professor Pang Xuelin is correct!"

"For this reason, we chose to hold a grand award ceremony in Paris, to give Professor Pang Xuelin the BSD Conjecture Proof Award and a prize of 1.5 million US dollars! Next, we invite Professor Pang to accept the award and give an acceptance speech!"

Soon, there was a burst of thunderous applause in the banquet hall, the crowd automatically moved out of the way, and everyone's eyes were focused on Pang Xuelin.

There is admiration, there is respect, there is envy, there is admiration...

There are many complex expressions, and there are many.

Pang Xuelin walked up to the stage along the aisle, and took a crystal trophy made of three letters of BSD from the director of the Cray Research Institute to express his gratitude to him.

Afterwards, Pang Xuelin came to the podium and officially delivered his acceptance speech.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor to meet you all on this wonderful evening."

"Perhaps in your impression, mathematicians should be such a group of people: they are either some slovenly geniuses, wearing two pairs of socks of different colors, discussing esoteric theories in terms that no one can understand; The serious and old-fashioned old professor uses his unique hypnotic tone to talk about calculus, linear algebra, complex variable function, probability theory, integral transformation and other mathematics courses that torment contemporary college students of science and engineering. The high abstraction and professionalism of modern mathematics make him The vast majority of people have no way to know the work of mathematicians up close... Today, I will use a more common language to talk to you about the lives of our mathematicians!"

"In my opinion, mathematics is everywhere. It is not only hidden in every corner of life, but also inhabits the depths of our thinking. Mathematics has brought great progress and changed the way people understand, think about and solve problems , and upended every aspect of society.”

"In fact, there are very simple basic principles contained in such terms as the Boltzmann equation, Landau damping, Fourier transform, and Newton's iterative method, which are daunting to ordinary readers."

"These principles have profoundly changed human civilization and the world."

"In today's society, mathematics research is a highly social work. You can find inspiration in discussions, chance encounters, and a series of chance coincidences. As far as I know, even the famous otaku mathematician Mr. Perelman Has been maintaining the most basic contact with the mathematical community through the Internet..."
