Morning of July 31 , 2018. 2018年7月31日上午。 Small 小 Said. 说. Rio de Janeiro, the mathematician from the world, gets together because of the International Mathematics Congress with this. 巴西里约热内卢,来自世界各地的数学家,因国际数学家大会齐聚与此。 Although tomorrow is the opening ceremony of congress, but at this moment, the parking lot outside Barra Da Tijuca hotel, actually already somewhat crowded. 虽然明天才是大会的开幕式,但此时此刻,巴拉达蒂茹卡酒店外的停车场,却已经有些拥挤。 The reason does not have him. 原因无他。 Soon in „the ns equation that” -themed the main assembly hall holds the public lecture, by coming from Professor Lu Zhou of Institute for Advanced Study, reports latest research development at the meeting. 即将在主会议厅举行的以“ns方程”为主题的报告会,将由来自普林斯顿高等研究院的陆舟教授,在会上报告最新的研究进展。 To many, the significance of this public lecture is even more vital than the tomorrow's opening ceremony. 对于不少人而言,这场报告会的意义甚至比明天的开幕式还要重要。 This relates is not only only 1 million US dollars ownership. 这关系到的不仅仅只是一百万美元的归属。 Is a start of new times...... 更是一个新时代的开始…… Although the organizer of congress for all was invited the scholar of participation conference, as well as some application people in attendance provided the lodging room, but the room is limited, not everyone has the condition to live here. 虽然大会的主办方为所有受邀参与会议的学者,以及部分申请与会者提供了住宿的房间,但毕竟房间有限,并非所有人都有条件住在这里。 Most the people in attendance of coming with admiration participate with own expense, usually will choose in nearby hotel or Kuaijie Hotel. 绝大多数慕名而来的与会者都是自费参加,通常都会选择住在附近的宾馆或者快捷酒店。 In these people some are the researcher of some professor or some research institute, some are follows is studying for the doctor who the teacher attended the meeting, some are organizes or by the student who the tourist status comes to look at reverently the academic atmosphere. 这些人中有的是某个大学教授或者某个研究所的研究员,有的是跟随导师参会的在读博士,也有的是组团或者以游客身份前来瞻仰学术氛围的学生。 Regarding much in the world of mathematics academic ranking university near the top, occasionally organization similar collective attending the meeting, for example according to twisting or other what assessment criteria chooses several exceptional study tyrants, with attending professor together Move out. 对于不少在数学领域学术排名靠前的大学,偶尔会组织类似的集体参会活动,比如根据绩点或者别的什么考核标准挑选几个能力出众的学霸,跟着与会的教授一起出发。 After all such opportunity four years one time, even after going, anything cannot understand, can promote the international field of vision taking this rare opportunity, broadens one's outlook, prepares the ground for the later academic career. 毕竟这样的机会四年才有一次,哪怕去了之后什么都听不懂,也能借着这个难得的机会增进国际视野,开阔眼界,为以后的学术生涯做铺垫。 Exactly 7 : 00 am, traveling China , Pakistan stop in the entrance of hotel. 上午 7 点整,一辆旅游中巴在酒店的门口停下。 Under a young professor's leadership, several young Chinese students went down the bus, in the entrance set of hotel. 在一位年轻教授的带领下,几名年轻的华人学生走下了大巴,在酒店的门口集合。 These students come from Yanda (Yanshan University) , and is in the person of same age eye study tyrant. 这些学生来自燕大,并且无一不是同龄人眼中的学霸。 But that leads is a professor, is unusual. 而带队的那为教授,更是非同一般。 As the outstanding person in domestic young scholar, after as 80 Professor permits Chenyang is not only one of the domestic algebra Geometry educational world leaders, obtained Larmat gold medal honor in 19 16. 作为国内年轻学者中的佼佼者,身为八零后的许辰阳教授不但是国内代数几何学界的领军人之一,更于16年获得了拉马努金奖的荣誉。 This International Mathematics Congress, the home was invited the professor who makes 45 minutes of report to have five people. 本届国际数学家大会,国内受邀做45分钟报告的教授有五人。 But Professor permits, is one of them. 而许教授,便是其中之一。 This time permits Chenyang is also receives the Yanda (Yanshan University) number institute chief to hold, the professor with another number institute is responsible for by him, belt/bring these students stroll everywhere at the congress. 这次许辰阳也是受到燕大数院院长所托,由他和另一名数院的教授负责,带这些学生在大会上到处逛逛。 Happen to caught up with this widely-noted public lecture, he who had not planned to miss, gave to take these students while convenient.

Because it used a very novel method, as long as is the new thing, often must have the argument.” “说不好,”许辰阳摇了摇头,“关于陆教授的那篇论文,学术界还没有一个统一的定论。因为它采用了一个很新颖的方法,而但凡是新的东西,往往都少不了争论。” That wears the male student of eyeglasses to continue to ask: „Is more novel than the abstract proof law?” 那戴眼镜的男生继续问:“比抽象证明法还新颖？” permits Chenyang the eyebrow selected selecting, looked at this student one eyes accidentally/surprisingly: „Do you also know the abstract proof law?” 许辰阳眉毛挑了挑,意外地看了这学生一眼:“你还知道抽象证明法？” That eyeglasses male smile embarrassed, flexure the back of the head was saying, „usually has read a literature in point aspect.” 那眼镜男不好意思笑了笑,挠着后脑勺说,“平时看过一点这方面的文献。” „You are good, the partial differential equation is a very potential direction, makes the application to make the theory is very promising.” Saying, Professor permits smiles, in he plans and these students specifically describes differences between two methods, together the familiar sound from side conveys. “那你挺不错的,偏微分方程是一个很有潜力的方向,无论是做应用还是做理论都很有前途。”说着,许教授笑了笑,就在他打算和这些学生们详细说明两种方法之间的区别时,一道熟悉的声音从旁边传来。 „Senior Brother permits, has been well since last meeting.” “许师兄,别来无恙啊。” Looks following the direction that sound conveys, after seeing that person, permits Chenyang eyes immediately one bright, extended the right hand with a smile. 循着那声音传来的方向看去,在看到那人之后,许辰阳眼睛顿时一亮,笑着伸出了右手。 „Opens Junior Brother, for a long time does not see!” “张师弟,好久不见！” Looks that shakes hand that person that with Professor permits happily chatted, student eyes that wore the eyeglasses then recognized him, called out in alarm low voice said. 看着与许教授握手言笑的那人,那个戴眼镜的学生一眼便将他认了出来,不由小声惊呼道。 „Wei god!” “玮神！” Hears this name, nearby several students threw the surprised line of sight to that person in abundance. 听到这个名字,旁边几名学生纷纷向那人投去了惊讶的视线。 Wei god! 玮神！ Yanda (Yanshan University) only has a Wei god, that is Zhang Wei! 燕大只有一个玮神,那便是张玮！ In the Yanda (Yanshan University) number institute, this name is it can be said that known to everybody, is known to everybody. 在燕大数院,这个名字可以说是无人不知,无人不晓。 29 -year-old win Larmat gold medal, 34 years old made an exception to hire by Columbia University for the math department tenured professor, 35 years old won the Morningside math gold medal...... this to open hung the same expert, with cloud God compound were the idols in Yanda (Yanshan University) number institute scholar mind. 29岁获拉马努金奖,34岁被哥伦比亚大学破格聘为数学系终身教授,35岁获晨兴数学金奖……这位开了挂一样的牛人,和云神并列为燕大数院学子心目中的偶像。 Looks at warm Sister Junior Brother, Zhang Wei smiles in a friendly way, then continued to look to Senior Brother permits. 看着热情的师弟师妹们,张玮友好地笑了笑,然后继续看向了许师兄。 „Come is so early?

If the previous poor prize evaluation is the powerhouse converges, then this is immortal fights, can emerge, only possibly is the powerhouse in powerhouse. 而除了这两位之外,其它的竞争对手同样不是等闲之辈。如果说上一届菲奖评选是强者云集,那么这一届便是神仙打架,能脱颖而出的,只可能是强者中的强者。 Looks at expression somewhat disconsolate Zhang Wei, permits Chenyang does not know that should say any good, can only try to comfort one: „You are Wei god, such not self-confident?” 看着表情有些惆怅的张玮,许辰阳也不知道该说些什么好,只能试着安慰了一句:“你可是玮神,这么没自信？” Stands in front of lecture hall, looks at the dense conference site, Zhang Wei shakes the head with a smile. 站在报告厅的门前,看着黑压压一片的会场,张玮笑着摇了摇头。 „This name considers as finished......” “这个称呼还是算了吧……” Sits here, who not? 坐在这里的,又有谁不是呢？ ...... …… 8 o' clock puts in order. 八点整。 In the conference site is bustling and filled with people, even the seat both sides corridors start crowded. 会场内人头攒动,连座位两侧的过道都开始拥挤。 Although formally starts also one hour from the public lecture, but in the conference site is full house. 虽然距离报告会正式开始还有一个小时,但会场内已是座无虚席。 Besides the scholar of participation conference, in the both sides of lecture hall by the wall position, is exhibiting the full row of camera. 除了参与会议的学者之外,在报告厅的两侧靠墙位置,陈列着满满一排的摄像头。 Are many to the person who the ns equation initiates the challenge, but rarely has the person to succeed. 向ns方程发起挑战的人不少,但鲜有人成功过。 If this Challenger succeeds, then these images will become the valuable historic information. Not only such opportunity the media are not willing to miss, even some famous image museums handed in the photography application. 如果这位挑战者成功,那么这些影像都将成为宝贵的历史资料。这样的机会不只是媒体不愿意错过,甚至连一些著名的影像博物馆都提出了拍摄申请。 Sits in the back row of conference site, sees that form on stage, Vera deep breath the one breath, is returning to normal some disorder heart rates. 坐在会场的后排,看着台上的那个身影,薇拉深呼吸了一口气,平复着有些紊乱的心率。 Two days later is her public lecture, however at this moment, her actually stand on the stage also anxious. 两天之后才是她的报告会,然而此时此刻,她却比自己站在台上还紧张。 „......

You only taught him several months.” “说这话你不脸红吗？你只教了他几个月。” Does not need to look, the light hears that arrogant and unkind tone, Deligne then guessed correctly is which old friend. 根本不用去看,光是听到那傲慢而刻薄的语气,德利涅便猜到了是哪位老朋友。 Brought back the corners of the mouth rarely, Deligne looked at that person of one. 罕见地勾起了嘴角,德利涅看了那人一眼。 „Did you also come?” “你也来了？” „Your issue is very strange, I how possibly.” Sits down in Deligne side, Faltings said unemotionally, „, if some people talked nonsense on the stage, the nature some people referred to under the stage.” “你的问题很奇怪,我怎么可能不来。”在德利涅的旁边坐下,法尔廷斯面无表情地说道,“如果有人在台上胡说八道,自然得有人在台下指出来。” Hears these words, Vera looked at his one eyes subconsciously discontentedly, obviously is very discontented his view. 听到这句话,薇拉下意识不满地看了他一眼,显然很不满他的说法。 However her existence feeling is extremely really small and weak, no one notices radically...... 然而她的存在感实在太过弱小,根本没有人注意到…… As for Deligne, but smiles lightly. 至于德利涅,只是淡淡笑了笑。 „That feared you to be disappointed.” “那恐怕你得失望了。” Faltings eyebrow selected selecting: „Such confident?” 法尔廷斯眉毛挑了挑:“这么有信心？” Deligne: „Can make a bet?” 德利涅:“要打赌吗？” Stared at the old friend to look at a while, Faltings has not met these words finally, then looked to the stage. 盯着老朋友看了一会儿,法尔廷斯最终没有接这句话,转而看向了台上。 „...... Must start immediately.” “……马上要开始了。”
