On the rostrum.
"Then congratulations again, Lee, for winning the Ramanu Gold Award."
"We have always paid great attention to the scientific development of developing countries, especially in mathematics and physics."
"And what surprises us is that after so many years of waiting, another genius like you has emerged from a developing country."
"This Ramanujan Award deserves to be yours!"
Later, Atish presented the Ramanu Gold Award certificate to Li Mu.
The audience in the audience also applauded loudly, but many people couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
China, can it be considered a developing country?
The world's second largest economy, the world's factory, and a population of more than one billion...
When per capita is not considered, to some foreigners, China really does not look like a developing country.
On the stage, Li Mu also received the Ramanu Gold Award certificate from Atish again.
The Ramanu Gold Medal does not have a medal, but only a certificate and a reward of US$15,000. Of course, in terms of monetary reward alone, it is US$10,000 more than the US$5,000 of the Dirac Award.
However, these monetary awards are basically just a formality. Compared with the value of the award itself, these monetary awards are nothing - unless it is like the Nobel Prize, which directly awards 8 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to $1.1 million.
It is probably because of this huge financial reward that the Nobel Prize has become the most famous award in the world.
"So, would you like to have a few words with everyone?"
Atish said to Li Mu with a smile.
Li Mu shrugged, okay, then I can only say a few more words?
There is a feeling of going on stage to receive an award as soon as the nocturne plays.
"Thank you to the ICTP, the International Mathematical Union, and the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology for awarding me this award."
"Of course, I also want to thank my country even more."
"In my country, a respected predecessor once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. At the same time, he also said that no matter how poor you are, you cannot lack education."
"So my country, even when it was the most impoverished, never gave up its emphasis on education. Until this century, my country has also established the largest compulsory education system in the world, and every child can enjoy it. Compulsory education at junior high school level.”
"I'm lucky to be born in this country, and it's in this kind of education that I grew up to where I am now."
"Although we are still a developing country, I believe that my country has unlimited potential."
"Of course, I also hope that all developing countries around the world will work together to develop their own science and education, and it will never be too late to become a strong country in science and education."
"Thanks!"
Li Mu bowed solemnly, and the audience immediately burst into even warmer applause.
At this time, these foreigners knew that China actually provided compulsory education for every child, even if it was only at the junior high school level. This was something that people from other countries could not even imagine.
Therefore, their applause this time truly comes from the heart.
When he heard the applause from the audience, Li Mu also smiled slightly.
Although there are still various problems in the domestic education system, there is nothing to criticize when it comes to compulsory education.
It is enough to make any countryman proud.
Atish, who was next to him, also had a look of surprise on his face. While applauding, he also said to Li Mu: "I didn't expect that your country actually has such a system. I will definitely make a proposal to our Congress in the future and propose it to you." study."
"Really? Then I wish you success." Li Mu said with a smile: "Believe me, this is definitely one of the greatest policies in human history."
"I think so too." Atish was convinced.
Li Mu nodded, then smiled and said: "It seems that I can go down."
Atish smiled and nodded, and then he was about to send Li Mu off, but at this moment, someone in the audience stood up.
"Li Mu, I have a question for you!"
Everyone was stunned, not expecting an accident to happen, and Li Mu also turned to look at the person who asked the question.
It's Qiu Chengtong!
"Professor Qiu, tell me, what is the problem?"
Li Mu turned around and faced Qiu Chengtong, with some confusion on his face.
"Sorry for disturbing everyone."
Qiu Chengtong first bowed slightly to the surrounding people and expressed his apology.
Of course, everyone else around him smiled at him.
People said one after another: "Professor Qiu's words are serious."
Such a heavyweight scholar will be respected by everyone.
Qiu Chengtong smiled, then looked at Li Mu and said, "Actually, I can't help it anymore."
"I've wanted to ask about it since I got the Dirac Medal just now, but now, it just so happens that you are getting the Mathematics Prize, and I also believe that many of your mathematical colleagues here are already curious to know."
"Goldbach's conjecture, you... proved it?"
As soon as Qiu Chengtong's question came out, the whole audience was in an uproar again.
Goldbach Conjecture?
The mathematics scholars immediately sat up straight and looked at Li Mu closely. Just kidding, they really care about this issue!
The other physicists were amazed. Although they studied physics, of course they had heard of the name of Goldbach's conjecture.
This is one of the most famous questions in science.
Li Mu actually proved this problem before attending this meeting?
None of these physicists were shocked.
Of course, Atish finally realized why those mathematicians were behaving so strangely just now. It turned out to be because of this incident!
Gift crab, Goldbach's conjecture?
Looking at the young man in front of him, Atish shook his head with a wry smile.
While receiving the award, you solved a well-known problem?
However, his surface was still so calm, as if nothing had happened...
What an enviable talent...
At this moment, Li Mu, who became the focus of the audience, did not expect that Qiu Chengtong asked this question.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Goldbach's conjecture is a conjecture full of difficulties."
"But I always believe that no matter how difficult the conjecture is, it will be solved one day sooner or later."
"Maybe it's in my hands, maybe it's in someone else's hands."
"Now, I believe that Goldbach's conjecture has ended in my hands."
"It just needs to be verified by the mathematical community."
He smiled.
Qiu Chengtong burst out laughing: "Okay! As expected of you!"
Probably only Li Mu could say this with such confidence.
"Of course, I will also tell you some good news by the way. Just now, Schultz and Faltings have jointly expressed their opinions on mathoverflow."
"They expressed a lot of confidence in your proof. I think you may have succeeded again this time."
Hearing the news from Qiu Chengtong, many mathematics scholars present were stunned. Even Schultz and Faltings expressed confidence in Li Mu's paper?
Relying on Li Mu's previous achievements...
Good guys, it seems that Goldbach's conjecture is really going to be solved, and it has evolved into another theorem.
Li Mu on the stage was a little surprised, mathoverflow?
Naturally, he also knows that this website is a well-known online communication platform in their mathematics community, and various well-known mathematicians appear on it from time to time.
Did Schultz and Faltings actually jointly evaluate his paper on this?
Of course, he was stunned for only a moment, and soon he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for telling me the news."
Qiu Chengtong also nodded and smiled, "Okay, I have finished asking my questions. I would like to apologize to everyone and Chairman Atish for disturbing the proceedings of the conference."
Atish smiled and said: "No, no, no, of course this does not interrupt the progress of the conference. This is a surprise brought to our conference! I really hope there can be more surprises like this."
There was laughter in the venue.
Indeed, the ICTP conference originally included theoretical physics and mathematics, so this incident is certainly a surprise.
After all, not everyone knows about this matter. Many people present in the past two days came to attend this conference and did not pay too much attention to the news in academia.
In this way, the presentation of the Ramanujan Award has come to an end, and then the presentation of other awards continues.
In addition to these two awards, there are also the ICTP Award, the ICO/ICTP GD Award, and the Walter Cohen Award.
Among them, the ICTP Award is also awarded to young scientists from developing countries.
People present even thought that this award was going to be awarded to Li Mu, but to their relief, the award was awarded to someone else.
Although Li Mu also has this qualification, ICTP still has to take care of the feelings of other scholars.
After all, Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relations.
Of course, because of Goldbach's conjecture, the scholars present would be distracted from time to time to pay attention to related news, such as going to mathoverflow to take a look at the post jointly posted by the two big guys.
In this way, the conference finally ended.
After that, news about various award winners also spread.
Among them, the news that Li Mu won two awards in a row and was the only winner of this year's Dirac Medal received the most attention.
Because, along with this news, the news that [Li Mu proved Goldbach's conjecture] also spread.
For a time, discussions on various related forums were abuzz.
Mathoverflow, that post by Faltins and Schultz.
The post was made by Schultz.
[... Faltings and I happened to be at the Max Planck Institute of Mathematics for the past two days. When we saw this paper, we were immediately shocked!
I really can’t believe that Li actually came up with such a wonderful proof again...
The combination of elliptic curves and K-module theory makes me amazed!
...]
Schultz blew hard, and the location on the second floor was Faltings's evaluation.
[I must admit that now Li is the fourth best mathematician I have ever seen in my life. 】
Under the replies of the two big guys, all kinds of melon-eating people were excited.
