Chapter 251 Invitation from Clay Mathematics Institute(2/2)
Perhaps the Clay Mathematics Institute really wants to make this award ceremony more grand and glorious, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton is also happy to accept this award ceremony. After all, it is the honor of the seven millennium problems.
But the idea of moving the award ceremony location is definitely not the Clay Institute's own.
It is impossible for them to break the rules they have set. Anyone with this energy can guess it with their toes.
If he goes, he will definitely not come back.
Not to mention that the award ceremony was moved from the Collège de France in Paris to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Even if the award ceremony was still at the original place, he would not be able to go out.
A Nobel Prize medal may allow him to take a risk with China, but the Cray Mathematics Prize does not have that qualification. One million meters of gold sounds like a lot, even close to the Nobel Prize bonus, but it lacks the honor bonus.
Well, that's actually it.
........
Shaking his head, Xu Chuan hung up the phone and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.
There was a voice in my ear: "Professor, I just heard about the Clay Mathematics Institute and the seven millennium problems, as well as one million meters of gold or something. Is it the Hodge conjecture? Are you going to receive the award?
?”
He turned around and saw a young researcher next to him looking at him curiously and expectantly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nodding, Xu Chuan replied: "Indeed, the Clay Mathematics Institute just called me and invited me to come and receive the award."
"Wow! That's amazing, Professor! When will I receive the award? Will it be broadcast live like the Nobel Prize ceremony?" The young researcher wowed and then asked excitedly.
Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "But I'm not going to go."
Hearing this, the young researcher was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Why? Is this a grand prize of one million meters of gold?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Because I don't have time."
"These are the Seven Millennium Problems. Professor, are you really not going to go?" the young researcher asked with an incredulous look on his face.
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Yes, but it has been solved, hasn't it? Its honor comes from itself, not an award."
"Just like Perreman, even if he didn't go to receive the award, no one can deny that he solved the Poincare conjecture."
"Okay, let's get ready for work. Work harder these days and try to get the second-stage semiconductor materials out as soon as possible. We can also take the annual vacation early and get more rest."
Hearing this, the young researcher opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. However, after mumbling for a while, he said nothing more and turned around and entered the laboratory.
Xu Chuan smiled and did not tell the other party the truth about why he was not going to accept the award. After all, there were still many scholars who wanted to study abroad, so it was not appropriate to make the relationship too tense.
In comparison, he now hopes to finish the work at hand as soon as possible.
If everything goes well, the second phase of semiconductor materials can probably be completed around the New Year. As for testing, it will depend on whether anyone in the research institute is willing to stay on duty during the Chinese New Year.
If there is, you can do some testing during the Chinese New Year; if not, you can wait until after the new year.
He can quite clearly distinguish between work and life.
Although I often stay up late and work overtime, I still need to take a good rest during the Chinese New Year, at least to spend time with my family.
As for the Clay Mathematics Institute’s awards, I’ll reply to them via email later in the evening.
If they were willing to move the award venue to China, he would still be willing to receive the award. After all, if they gave him one million meters in gold, it wouldn't be in vain.
But in the United States, forget it.
Chapter completed!
