Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 478: Some influences are happening quietly
Seeing that Peng Yiyou was speechless for a long time, Zhang Shouwu thought that he had not yet digested the news.
So he simply explained to Peng Yiyu everything he knew.
After listening to Zhang Shouwu's words, Peng Yiyou finally understood one thing.
That is, Chen Zhou is really, too scary!
It is said that there are differences between people, but why are the differences so big?
When Peng Yiyou separated from Chen Zhou and Zhang Shouwu, he was still thinking about this question.
So much so that when he heard people chatting about whether Chen Zhou would continue to advance in the field of number theory or turn to other fields of mathematics.
Peng Yiyou subconsciously responded: "Dr. Chen's research field is no longer limited to number theory..."
Hearing Peng Yiyu's voice, the group of people all looked at him.
Among this group of people, there is also a professor from Shuimu University like Peng Yiyou.
Therefore, when they recognized the person who was speaking, the Shuimu University professors who knew Peng Yiyou took the initiative to ask: "Professor Peng, how do you know that he has turned to other fields of mathematics?"
Peng Yiyu glanced at this group of people and finally came to his senses.
But I didn't expect that a subconscious remark of mine would attract so much attention.
But after a quick thought, Peng Yiyou guessed what these people were thinking.
Today, Chen Zhou has apparently become a rising star in the Chinese mathematics community and even among Chinese mathematicians.
No one knows how much potential the young Chen Zhou has.
However, this does not prevent everyone from wanting to know.
Because only by having a deep understanding of Chen Zhou can these Chinese scholars get along better with Chen Zhou.
Simply put, the question is whether Chen Zhou will continue to occupy more resources in China's mathematics community.
Even more so, whether Chen Zhou will grow into a new generation leader in China's mathematics community.
These are issues that they are very concerned about.
Chen Zhou's current academic status is entirely based on his own academic achievements.
Then, Chen Zhou’s current research field, research progress, etc. need to be focused on.
Seeing that Peng Yiyou didn't say anything, another professor from Zhejiang University suddenly thought of something and said, "Professor Peng, I just saw you communicating with Dr. Chen . Did you get any new information?"
Peng Yiyou raised his head slightly and looked at the professor from Zhejiang University who was speaking.
After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "I originally thought that Dr. Chen had been studying the field of number theory. After all, the project he applied for in the national 'Thousand Talents Plan' was about the Goldbach conjecture, but I didn't expect..."
Peng Yiyou did not hide anything from the group of people in front of him and told them truthfully about the conversation he had just had with Chen Zhou.
As soon as Peng Yiyou finished speaking, someone asked, "Has this paper been published?"
Peng Yiyou nodded and repeated Zhang Shouwu's words: "This is the manuscript Dr. Chen submitted to the Annals of Mathematics before returning to China. It is estimated that the journal will publish it this month or next month."
After this explanation, no one raised any more questions.
Even the publication time is stated so precisely, so it can be basically confirmed to be true.
In that case...
This group of people suddenly thought of something.
Although they didn't say anything to each other, they understood each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.
Speaking of which, some people saw that Chen Zhou had not published any mathematical papers for more than half a year, and thought that Chen Zhou had run out of inspiration.
In other words, Chen Zhou's breathtaking research pace has temporarily slowed down.
After all, no one can guarantee that such an efficient research pace can be maintained all the time.
Academic research is not like school exams where there are weekly and monthly tests and results must be released after each test.
Chen Zhou was already very capable before, and the completion of the first project on the Jebov conjecture applied for by the national "Thousand Talents Plan" also put a lot of pressure on them.
They were all worried that if Chen Zhou continued with this research pace, they would be dragged down.
However, after watching the past six months, they breathed a sigh of relief.
I think Chen Zhou is just a human being after all, and there are times when his thinking is not so quick.
As for Chen Zhou's future, can he reproduce his previous research results, or go one step further and become an absolute authority in the field of number theory?
Then they will just wait and see what happens, as this is not something they can control.
Just don't put so much pressure on them and let them bear the pressure of the technology department.
But now, after hearing what Peng Yiyu said, these people's little thoughts disappeared instantly.
That invisible pressure came again.
Who would have thought that Chen Zhou, who had made no progress on the Goldbach conjecture, would actually go off to study algebraic geometry.
The research was done, and the results were produced so quickly.
It would have been fine if it was just a result, but this result also solved a problem that has plagued the mathematical community for decades.
This is really annoying ...
The only reason they could use to comfort themselves was that the time interval between Chen Zhou's publication of papers seemed to be getting longer and longer, but they themselves denied it.
After all, this reason is a bit too optimistic. Everyone knows that academic journals have review cycles.
Didn’t you hear what Peng Yiyou just said?
Chen Zhou had already submitted his article before returning to China a few years ago.
The reason why it has not been published yet is simply because the review cycle is a bit long.
If you calculate carefully, Chen Zhou's previous research rhythm has not changed at all...
Thinking of this, these people couldn't help but ask, why can Chen Zhou maintain such a research pace?
Wouldn't he feel tired?
Doesn’t it happen that he runs out of ideas and his thinking becomes blocked?
They couldn't figure it out and didn't understand.
But the strange thing is that as they thought about it, they thought of Chen Zhou's acceptance speech.
Could it be that it is because he has always been able to maintain absolute perseverance and enthusiasm?
These professors and scholars are much older than Chen Zhou.
They are well aware of the boredom of academic research and the difficulty of maintaining perseverance and enthusiasm.
Although I can't say that I like Chen Zhou very much, I even feel a little disgusted with him because of the invisible pressure he brings.
Putting this aside, they cannot deny that they admire Chen Zhou's full passion for research and his tenacious research perseverance.
At this time, an idea came to their minds.
“If you can maintain great perseverance and enthusiasm and continue to achieve gratifying research results in academic research, can you maintain this perseverance and enthusiasm?”
Chen Zhou would never have thought that the person Zhang Shouwu brought inadvertently would indirectly spread his influence further in the Chinese mathematics community.
After Peng Yiyou talked about this matter with professors and scholars from domestic universities and research institutions.
The news that Chen Zhou had once again made outstanding research results in the field of algebraic geometry spread.
At first, the news was only spread at the dinner of the United Mathematicians' Congress, and later it was promoted by the news media and with the enthusiastic support of Chen Zhou's fans.
The news that he won the Chen Zhou Grand Prize and became the only person to win the Chern Shiing-Shen Mathematics Award and the Morningside Mathematics Prize at this Joint Mathematical Congress also made headlines.
There was also Chen Zhou's acceptance speech, which was put together with the old leader's opening speech.
In this way, the name Chen Zhou is once again given a different meaning .
The name Chen Zhou once again appeared on the news broadcast.
Yenching University dormitory.
As soon as Zhao Qiqi saw the news about Chen Zhou, he immediately shouted, "Old Zhu, Li Li, look, Brother Chen is on the news again, and he also won the Chern Mathematics Award and the Morningside Mathematics Award..."
When Zhu Mingli and Li Li heard the sound, they quickly moved to Zhao Qiqi's side and stretched their heads to watch the video on Zhao Qiqi's mobile phone.
After reading it, Zhu Mingli said with emotion: "Brother Chen is still the same Brother Chen . He always solves world-class mathematical problems. If this were easy, he would probably be embarrassed to publish a paper..."
Li Li also said: "Not to mention that he is embarrassed to publish his paper, even for his graduation thesis, he has to choose one that is older..."
After hearing what Li Li said, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli didn't react at first, and looked at Li Li at the same time: "What do you mean?"
Li Li explained: "Didn't you see that this algebraic geometry paper is good enough to be a doctoral thesis? But Brother Chen never mentioned this at all, which means that he doesn't plan to use this paper as his graduation thesis now, and he doesn't want to graduate yet. So what is he studying now? What can be his graduate thesis?"
After Li Li's explanation, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli reacted instantly.
Zhao Qiqi immediately said, "Li Li, now that you mention it, it's true! The last time we met, Brother Chen didn't take this difficult algebraic geometry problem seriously at all, and he didn't even feel like sharing... and what he talked about was all about the Goldbach conjecture that we asked about, which is to say..."
Zhu Mingli took over Zhao Qiqi's words: "In other words, Brother Chen's graduate thesis is most likely about the Goldbach conjecture..."
As soon as Zhu Mingli finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.
I guess the three of them didn't expect that this analysis would end up silencing them.
After a long while, Li Li glanced at Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli , and said softly: "At first, it was Brother Chen who was catching up with us, then it became us catching up with Brother Chen, and later, it became us trying to catch up with Brother Chen."
"In Brother Chen's words, he has not changed in this process. From the beginning to now, he has always been himself. But we are different. We gradually realized the gap and then caught up..."
"As for this gap, it has always existed. In other words, we don't need to compare with Brother Chen, we should compare with ourselves, just like Brother Chen has never compared with anyone else. Of course, even if he compares with others, he is definitely better than others!"
What Li Li said makes a lot of sense.
Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli already knew this principle.
The gap between them and Chen Zhou existed from the very beginning.
The only thing that gave them a misconception was Chen Zhou's performance in Wu Xiping's class when he first entered Yanda University.
It is precisely because of this process that they feel the gap more deeply.
Zhao Qiqi raised her head and said, "In fact, if it weren't for Brother Chen, we wouldn't love studying so much now..."
Zhu Mingli nodded and said in agreement: "The three of us in the dormitory are actually the most influenced by Brother Chen. Whether it is the way of learning or the angle of thinking, we have been more or less influenced. Because of this influence, we are gradually becoming like Brother Chen..."
Zhao Qiqi looked at Zhu Mingli and asked in confusion, "Becoming like Brother Chen?"
Zhu Mingli grinned: "I am addicted to studying and can't extricate myself..."
Zhao Qiqi and Li Li laughed when they heard this.
After laughing, Li Li said, "Although we can't compare to Brother Chen, we can't embarrass him, right? After all, we have followed him in the Qiu competition. No matter how bad we are, we can only lose to Brother Chen, not to others, right?"
After hearing Li Li's words, Zhao Qiqi and Zhu Mingli both nodded at the same time.
Then, Zhao Qiqi smiled and said, "Of course I am better than Brother Chen, but I can still bully others. We can't have no pressure on our mathematics department once Brother Chen leaves, right?"
Zhu Mingli said: "Brother Chen has already graduated from Yanda with flying colors, we must also work hard towards this goal!"
Li Li and Zhao Qiqi nodded heavily.
The conversation between Zhao Qiqi and the other two is actually a microcosm of the Department of Mathematics at Yanda University and even Yanda University as a whole.
Because of Chen Zhou's influence and the outstanding performance of Zhao Qiqi and three others later on, the "madhouse" of the Department of Mathematics became even crazier than usual.
When an outstanding person meets someone who is even better, he or she always tries hard to catch up with or even surpass the other person.
Before Chen Zhou left, everyone was targeting him and chasing him.
Although this goal is a bit too high, it is as if they are on the first floor and Chen Zhou is on the fifth floor.
But after Chen Zhou left, Zhao Qiqi and three other people who had just appeared were on the first floor like them.
They might be a little further up, but it's within reach.
Therefore, the fighting spirit inspired by Chen Zhou quietly broke out here again.
The same is true for the Department of Physics, Department of Computer Science, etc.
Except for Yanda University, other universities are not as "crazy" as the Department of Mathematics of Yanda University.
However, the degree to which he was influenced by Chen Zhou was not much weaker.
This influence began when Chen Zhou solved the hail conjecture.
With the publicity of every news report, with the guidance of every news broadcast, and with the intentional transmission of government departments and major universities, such a positive and enterprising learning effect is formed.
Of course, the changes caused by this influence extend far beyond colleges and universities.
In many places, especially in the hearts of some children, some influences are quietly taking place.
It was also because of the changes that were taking place that the old leader delivered the opening speech at this Joint Mathematicians Conference.
They need to go deeper and push this influence forward.
If you don't seize the opportunity this time, you don't know when you will have such an opportunity again.
As the old leader said, basic innovative research requires one to be able to sit on the bench and wait for the best opportunity.
So how can we make people realize the importance of sitting on the bench? This requires such publicity and influence.
Simply put, it is to make people realize the value of basic innovative research.
At this time, the source of these impacts was on the shuttle bus to Capital International Airport.
Chen Zhou was sitting on the bus with a faint smile on his face, and he was obviously in a very good mood.
As for the reason, it happened early this morning.
Chen Zhou, who had just woken up, received an unexpected but reasonable surprise.
