Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 437: Multiple News
"Then what is the other half?" Yang Yiyi asked puzzledly.
Chen Zhou then repeated to Yang Yiyi all the news that Professor Ating brought.
After hearing this, Yang Yiyi immediately said happily: "Congratulations, great mathematician, you actually won an international mathematics award."
"Of course! I was taught by Teacher Xiao Yang." Chen Zhou was a little bit proud, "So, the medal of honor is half mine and half yours."
Chen Zhou would only reveal such a cocky expression in front of Yang Yiyi.
Looking at Chen Zhou's expression, Yang Yiyi smiled mischievously and said, "No, no, I haven't made any contribution. At most, let me touch your medal."
Chen Zhou deliberately acted generous, waved his hand and said: "Isn't it easy to say? When I get it, I will let you touch the medal."
Yang Yiyi smiled and said nothing.
After a pause, Chen Zhou suddenly realized, "Oh, no, I'll let you hold the medal, and then I'll hold you."
After saying this, Chen Zhou was still laughing.
Seeing this, Yang Yiyi rolled her eyes at Chen Zhou and said, "What are you thinking about all day long?"
Chen Zhou immediately said seriously: "I'm thinking about you..."
Yang Yiyi: “…”
After finishing their big meal, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi walked hand in hand for a while on the MIT campus.
At this time, Chen Zhou discovered something.
The attention paid to him by the people around him has obviously increased a lot.
It is far different from when he first came to MIT, when few people knew him except the students who attended his lectures.
This made Chen Zhou feel a little emotional. It turned out that people with ability would receive different attention wherever they were.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Zhou turned on his computer and prepared to check how much the prize money for the Cole Prize in Number Theory was.
But what I didn’t expect was that as soon as I turned on the computer, a bunch of prompt messages popped up.
These messages are reminders of emails in your mailbox.
Chen Zhou opened his mailbox and took a quick look.
Most of them are about the country’s “Ten Thousand Talents Plan ”.
Many people asked him about the progress of his research on Ge Chai.
And whether he is confident that he can solve this difficult problem that has been bothering the Chinese people.
In response to this, Chen Zhou gave a simple reply.
After all, the research on Ge Guess can only be said to be in its infancy.
There has indeed been no substantial progress.
In addition to these inquiries about progress, there were also emails from China's science and technology departments.
The main purpose was to tell him that the funding for Ge Cai's research project had been approved.
Moreover, he also gave Chen Zhou some practical encouragement with words.
I hope Chen Zhou can go one step further and actually solve this difficulty that is hanging in the minds of the Chinese people.
At the same time, I wish Chen Zhou good results.
Chen Zhou's reply to this email was more formal.
In any case, he is part of the country's "Ten Thousand Talents Plan".
Official condolences from the country should be treated with caution.
Among these emails, there are also emails from several other people.
It is not about Chen Zhou's application for Gecai's research topic.
It was Chen Zhou who just received the news about the Cole Prize in Number Theory.
Among these, of course, there are ones sent by Yao Tongtong.
This reporter from Yenching Daily is very concerned about this matter.
Ever since she revealed the gossip to Chen Zhou last time, she has been paying attention to this matter.
After making inquiries from many sources and repeatedly asking that friend for information, I finally confirmed the accuracy of this matter.
But Yao Tongtong's wording was the same as Professor Ating's, except that she said that there was a high probability that Chen Zhou would win the award.
Chen Zhou was still very grateful to reporter Yao for his concern.
Thinking about myself, I have already put this matter behind me.
If Professor Atin hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
But I didn't expect that reporter Yao, who even had a hard time interviewing himself, could still remember his own affairs.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhou replied with an email of thanks and said that he had also received relevant information from his tutor.
The other emails came from Zhang Yitang, Tao Zhexuan, Professor Francis, the president of MAA, and an unknown person.
Chen Zhou first clicked on Zhang Yitang’s email.
This time, Zhang Yitang did not discuss the prime number problem, but congratulated Chen Zhou.
The content is that Chen Zhou is about to win the Cole Prize in Number Theory.
The words used by Zhang Yitang are much more affirmative than those used by Professor Ating and Yao Tongtong.
After reading the email, Chen Zhou felt relieved.
Zhang Yitang is on the award judging committee this time.
Therefore, this news has basically been confirmed.
Moreover, Zhang Yitang also told Chen Zhou that the awards ceremony would probably be held around the end of November or the beginning of December.
Chen Zhou replied to the email and expressed his gratitude.
Then I opened the email from Terence Tao.
What Terence Tao said is basically the same as what Zhang Yitang said.
It was through emails that Chen Zhou found out that the two were still together.
Zhang Yitang did not return to his school and started to study a new topic with Terence Tao.
Of course, this time Terence Tao made it clear that he would never compete with Chen Zhou.
The last incident caused his blog to lose a large number of fans.
It really made him extremely heartbroken.
In response, Chen Zhou shook his head helplessly.
He really wanted to say, if you want fans, I can give you some of my Weibo fans?
By the way, Chen Zhou’s fans on Weibo have already exceeded one million.
Now it is heading towards the tens of millions.
He is probably about to become the most popular mathematician.
No, the most popular student.
His current Weibo account confirms that he is a student of Yanda University.
Chen Zhou didn’t know how this Weibo certification was posted.
Anyway, he definitely didn't do it himself.
Then came the email from Professor Francis.
Francis's email was quite concise.
I just expressed my wish to have a good communication with Chen Zhou.
About the purpose of MAA and the cause that Francis is committed to.
He hopes to get help from Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou was a little troubled by this email.
He doesn't have the ability to change the world now.
He can only change himself now.
Therefore, Chen Zhou replied to the email in a rigorous manner.
Finally, there is only the email from this unknown person left.
Chen Zhou didn't rush to click it. He was wondering who this person could be.
He left email addresses for everyone he knew.
Whether it is Faltings, Deligne, Langlands, Artin, Friedman, or the editors of the four major mathematics journals.
Chen Zhou had exchanged emails with them, so there would be no emails from unknown people.
Chen Zhou really couldn't think of who this person could be, so he simply stopped thinking about it and opened the email.
After taking a look at the content of the email, Chen Zhou said in surprise: "It was him?"
