Although these idle mathematicians, when choosing a place to hold a "party" gathering, usually choose some tourist attractions with pleasant scenery or strong cultural heritage - in short, it is more fun, but it is undeniable that at such a large-scale international academic conference, the mathematical strength of a region, or to put it bluntly, is the influence and discourse power in the industry, which is also one of the factors to be considered.

After all, everyone wants to hold such a grand event at their doorstep, which is not only a face-saving thing, but also brings a lot of convenience.

However, it is not easy to get scholars all over the world to sell you favors.

This is not only a test of academic influence, but also a test of academic connections.

In 2002, Beijing was able to host the International Congress of Mathematicians, thanks to the help of Mr. Chern Shiingshen, and this was the first time that the International Congress of Mathematicians was held in a developing country.

It can be said that it was the International Congress of Mathematicians that opened a door for the relatively closed domestic mathematical community, allowing mathematicians in China to hand over their business cards to the stage of the international academic community.

When I heard that the next session would be held in China, almost all the scholars who were born in the mainland in the venue suddenly burned with excitement in their hearts.

The pouring rain of applause accompanied by irrepressible cheers resounded throughout the venue, and many scholars from other countries sitting next to the Chinese scholars were taken aback by this enthusiasm.

Sitting in the venue and applauding, Academician Wang Shicheng concealed the excitement in his eyes, and suddenly fell down in an uproar.

Before the closing ceremony began, his heart was still full of mixed emotions, hoping that the International Union of Mathematicians would choose the next venue in China, but also a little worried that the venue would eventually be set in Jinling.

Although his concerns were not enough to affect the vote of the International Union of Mathematicians, and the venue for the next session was almost unsuspensefully set in Jinling City, for some reason, he suddenly had the idea that "even if it is, it doesn't matter".

Sitting next to him not far away, Xu Chenyang patted his thigh excitedly, wanting to stand up, but he was worried that it would affect the people behind him, so he hesitated repeatedly, and finally sat back.

Zhang Wei also clenched his fists, staring at the stage with his eyes flashing with excitement that he couldn't hide.

What made him excited was not only that the venue for the next International Congress of Mathematicians was Jinling, but also that he saw a trend in the dark, a shining new star is rising.

Seriously, this is not the first time that Jinling has hosted a mathematics event of this scale.

Since the presentation of the millennial puzzle of the Mills equation of Young Mills, this city, far from the sight of the international mathematical community, has unwittingly become the focus of the international mathematical community.

Even in the domestic mathematics community, Jinling University, which is in a marginal position, has unconsciously accumulated so much experience in holding international mathematics conferences, and has become the top university with the closest exchanges with the international mathematics community in the blink of an eye.

It can be said that everything that Jinling University has now is exactly what both the Yan University School and the Aurora School dream of.

It is possible to do all this by one person, and to accomplish a great feat that a school of thought could not accomplish in decades.

It's terrifying......

Looking at the Chinese scholars who were so excited that they stood up with envy, a Korean-American scholar sitting not far from him complained quietly to a fellow English-American next to him.

"Why can a developing country host it twice? I suspect there must be an inside story behind this vote. ”

The British scholar sitting next to him was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then said with a strange expression.

“…… Do you still believe that they are developing countries? ”

It is rumored that Dong-A Electric Power is in talks with Korea Electric Power Company on joining the cross-regional power grid, and if it goes well, it may not be long before high-voltage power lines from Hwa Kook cross the Changbai Mountains and enter the Goryeo Peninsula.

Developing countries with controlled fusion technology, developing countries that can repair power grids to developed countries and export them like crazy......

No matter how much emphasis is placed on the term "developing country", I am afraid that only the Chinese themselves believe it.

The conversation between the two happened to be overheard by Yang Yongan, who was on the rise, raised his chin to the Korean scholar with a gloomy face, and said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"No, just because we have Professor Lu, what do you have, do you have a Fields Medal?"

This sentence was simply impeccable, and it poked at the sore spot of the man at once.

Not to mention that there is no Fields Medal, compared to Japan, which has occupied a place in the international mathematical community, and China, which is rising, the Korean mathematics community is about to become a shame of developed countries, so much so that people can't help but ask funny questions such as "Is there really a mathematician in South Korea except in the TV series?"

Poked in the sore spot, the Korean scholar gritted his teeth angrily and clenched his fists.

Perhaps angered by Yang Yongan's stinky fart, he suddenly choked back in annoyance, "How do you know that he must be yours?" We also have the surname Lu! ”

Yang Yongan: "......? ”

Wang Shicheng: "? ”

Zhang Wei: "?? ”

Qin Yue: "??? ”

……

With the end of the closing ceremony, the International Congress of Mathematicians finally came to an end.

The news that the next International Congress of Mathematicians will be held in Jinling soon spread all over the world along the network, all over the north and south of China, as well as the network WeChat and penguin groups of various universities.

For the uninitiated, it may not have any effect, but for those who are here, the excitement in their hearts when they hear the news is no less than when they heard that Beijing had successfully bid for the Olympic Games many years ago.

A new force is emerging on the stage of the international mathematical community, which has shifted to the center of the world mathematical community in North America after World War II, and is moving in the direction of the western Pacific.

Tonight, many people are destined to stay up all night for this exciting news......

On a flight from St. Petersburg to Shangjing.

Lu Zhou, who was leaning on the seat, couldn't help but yawn.

Unlike those compatriots who stayed up all night because of the 2026 IMU conference in Jinling, he still flying in the sky at this time did not know what happened at the closing ceremony thousands of kilometers away, and the reason why his mental state was not very good was only because of jet lag and some other reasons.

Got off the plane.

On the way out of the airport through a special passage, Lu Zhou stopped by to the bathroom and took out a tube of energy potion from the system space and drank it.

After rubbing his gradually soothing eyebrows, Lu Zhou, who felt a little refreshed, stuffed the empty bottle back into his pocket, and then washed his face next to the washbasin with water in his hands.

There are not many potions left, and now the completion cycle of the task is getting longer and longer, and the chances of the lottery are getting fewer and fewer, so it is better to save some money.

After washing his face, just as Lu Zhou was about to leave the bathroom, suddenly his father's phone called his mobile phone.

Pressing the connect button, Lu Zhou put the phone to his ear and said as he walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey, Dad, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just saw you on the international news with your mother...... Why did you kid run away to Russia? I don't call or talk to my family. ”

Although my dad can't grab the remote control to watch the news every day, it just so happens that he has been broadcasting his own news for the past few days, and it is difficult for him to watch it as long as he tunes to the news station.

Listening to his father's complaining voice, Lu Zhou made a helpless expression.

In fact, he was really helpless.

It's not that he deliberately didn't call home, but before he went to St. Petersburg, he cooperated with the drill and prepared for the 60-minute report meeting, and he was so busy that he wanted to split himself in half, and after arriving in St. Petersburg, he encountered something like that again, and it was normal for him to forget to call home.

"It's just going to be a week, and it's still a meeting, so there's nothing to say."

"There's nothing to say! You've got such a big ...... What a high prize, I don't tell you my father and mother. ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou wanted to say that this thing was actually average, and it was still a lot worse than the gold content of the Fields Medal.

However, he also understands that what his father is complaining about is not that he didn't bring those medals with foreign names home, but that he didn't even call home.

Lu Zhou, who thought he was at a loss, sighed, didn't argue anything, and followed his father's words.

"Okay, I'll remember next time."

Sure enough, this trick really worked for the old man, and Lao Lu forgot about this stubble without saying a word, and began to talk about other things.

"By the way, I heard Lao Wu in the unit say that vodka is abundant in Russia, remember to bring some for me when you come back, and I will taste something."

Lu Zhou Khan said: "...... That thing can be bought in the supermarket, right? ”

Lao Lu: "It's different! How can what you buy in the country of origin be the same as what you buy in the supermarket? ”

Lu Zhou: "......"

Isn't it just the taste of alcohol mixed with water, and it looks like chili water when you drink it, so what difference can there be?

Sighing, Lu Zhou continued.

"I just got off the plane, and I've already returned home...... Or I'll go back to the duty-free shop and help you do it. ”

Lao Lu: "Huh? I just saw you on the news, and you're back? That's better to forget it, forget it when you come back, you go to the duty-free shop and bring it to me, I might as well go to the supermarket and buy it myself, and talk about it when I have a chance later. ”

Lu Zhou: "Hmm......"

Lao Lu: "By the way, I just wanted to ask, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Hearing his father's words, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and was silent for a while before speaking.

“…… No, don't worry about me. ”

There was a snorting nasal voice on the other end of the phone, and Lao Lu continued: "I'm not worried about you, your kid is already much better than your father and me, and you can't solve the problem, I'm afraid that I may not be able to understand if you read it to me." ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly.

Although he was a little proud, he said modestly.

"You can't say that, academics are academics, this is my job after all, if you compare fishing with me-"

"Alright, I'll get down to business."

Daddy's voice on the other end of the line paused for a moment, and continued in a serious tone.

"Whether you like to listen to it or not, Dad has to say this to you, there is no perfect person in this world, and there is no absolutely correct choice, the great mathematician peed his pants when he was a child, and he missed addition and subtraction——"

"Ahem! Dad, let's talk about it well, what you're doing is ...... What are some of these examples? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou was suddenly scorched by the thunder on the outside and tender on the inside, and he was almost choked to death by a breath that didn't come up.

It's good that I didn't turn on the hands-free, or someone would be a big loss!

However, Lao Lu didn't seem to have any plans to care about him so much, and continued on the other end of the phone.

“…… I just want to tell you that no matter what choice you make, it doesn't matter what other people think you are, or even good or bad, the important thing is that you feel that you are right, have a clear conscience, and you will not regret it when you think about it, and that's enough. ”

"As for the rest, what's your business?"

After the words fell, the phone was quiet for a while.

After being silent for about half a minute, Lu Zhou suddenly smiled.

"yes, I see."

"It's good that you have a number in your heart," nodded with satisfaction, and Lao Lu suddenly changed the topic and continued, "...... By the way, was that Riemann conjecture really proven by you? ”

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and said, "Even you know?" ”

Lao Lu: "I heard that Academician Lu, that is, after your kid solved the Riemann conjecture, the password of the bank card is not safe!" I'm debating with your mother whether or not to get the money out of the bank. Speaking of which, you seem to have a lot of money on your card, so why don't you take out half of it first? ”

Lu Zhou: "...... I'm afraid it's a bit of a hassle to take out half of it. ”

MMP！

The next time he was caught, who came out of this sentence, he promised not to kill him!

It's not easy for anyone to stop it!
