Shi: How about everyone stop for a moment?
The Science and Technology Award Conference has come to an end, and members of the leadership group have left early.
The atmosphere at the venue became more lively.
Media reporters are also allowed to enter the lobby and can conduct interviews at will.
Many scholars who are confident in their research projects are waiting to be interviewed by reporters. Even among award-winning projects, there are those who receive attention and those who do not.
There are some projects that are of great concern.
For example, there are large-scale physics projects and some medical-related science projects.
Mathematics research often receives the least attention, because many mathematical theoretical research works are divorced from reality, and even if they are stated, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Today is an exception.
More than a dozen reporters walked towards Wang Hao, and they even felt like they were chasing after a star.
The number of a dozen people doesn't sound like a lot. In fact, there are no more than fifty reporters who can enter the lobby. In other words, more than one-third of the reporters are directed at Wang Hao.
Even the official media cares about traffic, and no media wants to publish reports that go unnoticed.
Wang Hao is the source of traffic.
In this hall, few scholars can compare with the attention Wang Hao has received, including the two old academicians who have won the highest science and technology awards. Even among ordinary people, few people pay attention to them.
The reporters all went to interview Wang Hao, while other scholars could only watch with a wry smile.
Of course, other scholars were interviewed, but there were hundreds of people in the venue, so it was great to meet a reporter for an interview.
Zhu Peng and Wang Hao stood together, preparing to leave together.
When he saw many reporters coming here, especially towards him, Zhu Peng subconsciously thought they were coming to interview him. He waved his hand with a smile, and then saw a group of reporters surrounding Wang next to him.
Hao.
He was pushed away directly.
Zhu Peng put down his hand in embarrassment and moved a few steps to the side. Then he simply walked away and vowed again in his heart, "Next time I will never be with Wang Hao again..."
Reporters surrounded Wang Hao.
Because they are all official media, they did not rush to ask questions. A CCTV reporter took the lead and asked, "First of all, congratulations to Professor Wang Hao for winning the first prize in natural science. How do you feel at this time?"
Wang Hao's face remained motionless and he said four words calmly, "I'm very excited."
He was indeed very excited when he presented the award, but now he feels much calmer.
Seeing that calm look and the excited words on his lips, the reporters all felt very strange and thought in their hearts, 'Maybe it's because they got the news too early?'
A reporter also asked, "Can you tell me when you learned about the award?"
Wang Hao finally had an expression, and he said somewhat depressedly, "If you ask this, I have something to say. I don't even understand why I won the award, and others knew it earlier than me."
"Now this rumor is so scary. I went to the Science Foundation, and several people told me that I had won the award."
"When I came in the morning, I wasn't sure that I won the first prize. Everyone else knew about it. I suggest that the official keep this award a secret, and at least ensure that the information channels are fair?"
"Why don't I just announce it directly? Why am I the only one who doesn't know?"
The surrounding reporters laughed as they naturally understood what Wang Hao meant.
The science and technology awards are only announced on the spot, but because there are many people involved in the award selection, especially top academicians, some news will definitely be revealed.
But the same is true internationally.
For some top academic awards, some winners are locked in early. The relevant top scholars will know the winners, but the winners themselves do not know because they will not be notified in advance.
Later, a reporter asked, "Professor Wang Hao, you won the first prize in natural sciences for your "Mathematical Conversion Method for Finding Infinite Sequences", which is a research method related to number theory. So, do you think this is
Your best research?”
“Best research?”
Wang Hao thought about it carefully, pursed his lips and said, "Probably not. I don't know which research is better, but the one that impressed me the most was the research related to Mersenne primes."
"Why?" the reporter asked with interest.
"It is very interesting to explore the unknown." Wang Hao explained, "This research uses mathematical methods to analyze numbers that others can only discover by luck."
"This is crucial. Every discovery of Mersenne primes gives me a sense of accomplishment."
Wang Hao said it very seriously. He also gave an example, "This is like buying a lottery ticket. When buying a lottery ticket, we assume that it all depends on luck without any intervention of human factors. However, if you can use mathematical methods to analyze the lottery ticket,
As a result, if you buy the corresponding numbers and win the prize, will you feel a sense of accomplishment?"
A group of reporters nearby nodded along.
Needless to say!
You can win the lottery just by relying on analysis, and your sense of accomplishment and harvest will be immediate.
Wang Hao added in a sarcastic tone, "It's a pity that GIMPS is so poor. Otherwise, I would have to have the server in the computer lab run 24 hours a day."
"..."
Many reporters didn’t quite understand the meaning, but the content of the complaints seemed a bit unfriendly?
Get over this!
A reporter continued to ask, "More than ten days ago, you published an argument about the NS equation on your blog, which attracted the attention of the international mathematics community and became the focus of the mathematical community. Is your current research related to NS equations?
Is it related to equations?”
Wang Hao nodded and said, "The research I just completed is about the NS equation problem."
He said seriously, "Here, let me emphasize again that the solution set of NS equations is smooth, at least under normal values."
"Buckmaster's research is very interesting. He proved that when the solution set is allowed to be rough, the output of the NS equation will be unstable, but this does not deny the smoothness of the exact solution set of the NS equation."
"I have already proved this. If it is a conventional value, even if it is only an approximate solution, the output of the NS equation will converge in a bounded manner."
"In addition, I relied on the methods of function theory and functional analysis to analyze the variable values, and I can conclude..."
"Ula Ula~~"
A lot of professional terms came out of Wang Hao's mouth, which made the reporters next to him dizzy. Some reporters standing in the back row quickly left silently.
The reporter standing at the front pretended to listen carefully, but later took a break and said quickly, "Professor Wang Hao, that's it. I'm going to interview other people first."
One reporter was so pretentious that he even interviewed Zhu Peng.
Zhu Peng was very happy to find a reporter interviewing him, so he heard the reporter ask, "Professor, what kind of research are you doing?"
…
Zhu Peng returned to the hotel with Wang Hao with a complicated look on his face.
The award ceremony that day was still very tiring. They just rested in the hotel. The next day, Zhu Peng went to the Science Foundation to deal with matters related to the project.
Wang Hao went to Capital University.
Professor Wu Hui said that Capital University will hold a seminar on applied mathematics, and the theme is the application of NS equations.
When he arrived at the gate of Capital University, Wang Hao met Academician Wu Hui.
Wu Hui was with several professors. They came ten minutes early, especially to wait for Wang Hao.
After waiting for Wang Hao, everyone walked in together.
Wu Hui and Wang Hao were at the front and introduced, "This is an applied mathematics symposium led by Academician Zhang Hongxin. It is not a formal meeting, just a discussion for everyone to study together."
"Mainly because of Buckmaster's research some time ago."
"Many people have begun to worry about the unreliability of NS equations. Academician Zhang Hongxin organized a seminar with the purpose of using theoretical analysis to gain confidence in research in applied fields."
"This time we will demonstrate specific NS equation types and values ​​for thirteen major applications, and will also conduct a series of calculations to try to cover the content of these thirteen major applications."
"At least it must be proven that even if an approximate solution is obtained, the deviation is within a fixed range."
Wu Hui said and looked at Wang Hao, "This is your proof that the NS equation has bounded convergence under rough values, but you only proved that the output has bounded convergence and did not determine the range of fluctuations. We need to demonstrate the range of fluctuations
, ensuring that universal applications will not cause problems.”
"Although it is impossible to prove that the solution set of NS equations is smooth, we must at least ensure that there will be no problems in application."
Wang Hao listened patiently, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "Academician Wu, I wanted to tell you yesterday, so I'd better tell you now... I don't think this argument makes any sense."
To be continued...
