Chapter 210: My Cup?

Translator: Translated Henyee Editor:Translated Henyee


As soon as he was in the hotel room, Lu Zhou placed his luggage on the floor.Even before he could unpack, Luo Wenxuan brought it to the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel.


It wasn't dinner time yet, but it was perfect for afternoon tea.


After all, many scholars have a habit of exchanging academic ideas during afternoon tea. Especially in academic conferences, scholars usually come to restaurants around this hour.


The only drawback is that the conference organizers only bear the cost of accommodation and food, but not for afternoon tea.


After fulfilling Xiao Ai's request and filing an international patent, Lu Zhou's bank account was almost depleted.


This time when he flew to America, he only brought $ 500 USD with him. He relied on the $ 100,000 USD monetary award from the Cole Prize.


Luo Wenxuan and Lu Zhou immediately found a table in the restaurant.


At another table, an old Caucasian with slightly darker skin was on his laptop.


Luo Wenxuan walked over and greeted him before he said to Lu Zhou, "Let me introduce you to my friend, George Williams!"


When George saw Lu Zhou, he smiled and stood up. He then said, “It's nice to meet you. I'm looking at your report at the Princeton conference. To be honest, it made a lasting memory for me. ”


"Lu Zhou's. Nice to meet you, ” Lu Zhou said as he shook his hand. He then asked, "Are you also studying mathematical physics?"


George said, "No, I study economics."


"Economy? It was a promising profession .. "said Lu Zhou. He then looked at George and asked, "But isn't your lecturer Professor Witten?"


Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Mr. Witten's field of study is not just in mathematical physics. His master's degree in economics. Most recently, he also received a master's degree in history from Stanford when he graduated last year. ”


Lu Zhou, "Nuts ..."


I don't believe the winner of this Field Prize has a degree in history and economics either.


In comparison, Lu Zhou felt inferior.


George asked, "Are you reporting at this conference?"


Lu Zhou said humbly, "Not this time, I'm just here to listen."


Luo Wenxuan said, "Also to give an award speech."


"Coughs!"


Lu Zhou looked at him with a deathly gaze.


George said, "Hi, man, don't make me nervous. We all know that this award is yours.There is no doubt about it. The Federal Mathematics Society will not give this award to anyone else. "


Lu Zhou smiled and did not know what to say.


There is absolutely no tension.Even an economic man knows that this award is mine.


...


Berkeley is a very crazy place, especially their math department. Although not as good as Princeton, it is third in America and ranked fifth in the world.


Professor Qiu got his PhD from here.


Even "Mozart of Numbers", Tao Zhexuan, teaches here.


Lu Zhou did not go anywhere else. He would spend the whole day wandering around the Berkeley campus.In the afternoon, he would go to an upstairs restaurant for afternoon tea.


Although not many people were actively talking to him, he could still learn a lot from some of the conversations he had.


Many big names attended the conference. It was even more than the Princeton conference.


Everyone has been researching for a year. They finally had a place to boast and show off.


Of course, it's not just showing off.


Academic discussions create sparks and this leads to the creation of new ideas.


For Lu Zhou, drinking coffee here was more beneficial than attending college.


The opening ceremony was held in a conference hall in Berkeley.


At the opening ceremony, the president of the Federal Mathematical Society, Mr. Francis, stand on stage and speak in a soft and clear voice.


"This is an amazing year."


“In the field of number theory, Lu Zhou, a master student from Jin Ling University successfully completed the twin main conjecture and Polignac conjecture. He also added topological principles to sieve theory as well as creating methods of group structure. "


"The field of algebra, Peter Schultz of Germany, solves the Weight-monodromy conjecture in abstract algebra through his own PS theory."


"Usually, for the year, the Cole Prize will be in algebra. However, the number of achievements in number theory this year cannot be ignored. Our committee members have been arguing about this for over a month. "


The Cole Prize is divided into a number of algebraic theories and awards. Usually, the award will not be given in the same year.


For example, last year, awards were given in the field of number theory, so by convention, this time the awards should be in the form of algebra.


Although this practice had been violated before, it had only been a few times.


If it were just a twin main conjecture, this award would be given to the German god, Schultz, as the alleged evidence of heavy monodromy proves that his own PS theory is a powerful mathematical tool.


No one thought Lu Zhou would be able to solve Polignac's conjecture.Not only that, but the "Group Structure Method" - it also had high research value in the field of number theory.


The contributions of the two people were incredible, so it was hard to compare.


However, since Lu Zhou already knew the outcome, there was no tension for him.


Mr. Francis paused for a moment before continuing, "We made a bold decision."


"The award winner is ..."


Lu Zhou sat in the audience. He adjusted his collar and prepared to go on stage.


"Schultz from Germany!"


Lu Zhou was stunned.


THE WTF?


Clap clap…


The audience exploded with applause.


A thin, pale, tall man stood up and smiled. He then bowed as a sign of gratitude for the applause.


Lu Zhou: "..."


That fucker


Where's my cup?


Luo Wenxuan looked at Lu Zhou because he also did not know what was happening.


Applause is winding down.


Mr. Francis stood on the stage and coughed softly before continuing to speak, "And Lu Zhou from China!"


Lu Zhou: "..."


For ck!


Can you finish your sentence next time?


I almost had a heart attack!


Waita minute…


Lu Zhou suddenly realized something.


Cole's prize for the year ...


Given to two people ?!
