"How about it? This is a big media with 1.4 billion views. Are you nervous?" Professor Deligne smiled.

"Are you nervous? I think it's okay!" Liu Yichen thought for a moment and shrugged.

Professor Deligne glanced at Liu Yichen in surprise: "It's unbelievable. If I were in front of 1.4 billion viewers, I think I would be so nervous that I would have a heart attack."

"You know, Belgium only has 3.5 million people."

Deligne was born in Belgium. Although Belgium is a country, it has a population of only 3.5 million.

With a population of 3.5 million, this city can only rank 180th among Chinese cities.

With the development of human society to this day, it is no longer like the first industrial revolution, where a population of several million people could become an industrial power, nor is it like the second industrial revolution, where a population of tens of millions could become a world-class industrial power.

By the time of the third industrial revolution, a truly industrial power would have a population of more than 50 million. A very important reason why the United States can become the world's hegemon is that the United States has a population of more than 300 million.

And China has achieved industrialization, and the number of industrialized people is equal to the total industrial population of other countries. This power is absolutely huge, and this is why it has become the biggest variable in the world today.

To be honest, Professor Deligne sometimes envies Liu Yichen, not because of Liu Yichen's outstanding mathematical talent, but because he has a powerful motherland behind him.

Why did Professor Deligne leave Belgium and go to the United States? Isn’t it because Belgium is actually just a dispensable small country with no importance in the world. Such a small country can only rely on big countries and can only engage in certain niche fields.

Like a big country, it can exert its efforts in multiple fields.

For example, China has become the only country in the world that has a full industrial chain for all industrial categories. Other countries are not complete. In the past, the United States and the Soviet Union both had full industrial chains. Unfortunately, the policies of 'de-industrialization' and 'industrial hollowing out' have led to many

The transfer of industries out of the United States has left the United States with only high-end manufacturing and without the entire industrial chain. As for the Soviet Union, since that drastic change, the Soviet Union has ceased to exist. Each country is an independent country, and each has its share of the industry, even if

Russia, the largest successor to the Soviet Union, has inherited most of the Soviet Union’s legacy, but it still does not have a complete industrial chain.

And China, through its own efforts, has built a whole industrial chain, which is definitely a miracle in the world.

Maybe Huaxia Industry has many problems, but it is undeniable that Huaxia Industry is full of infinite possibilities.

Originally, no matter how you looked at it, the Fourth Industrial Revolution had nothing to do with China, and no matter how you thought about it, you would never think that the Fourth Industrial Revolution was possible in China. However, China’s industry has made tremendous development in recent years, making China actually a key player in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

The leader in the second echelon may be able to enter the first echelon to keep pace with the United States.

"I think you were right just now. Maybe it will only take five years for the standard conjecture to be solved..." Professor Deligne said.

"...Actually, there is another thing that may be very important to you, but I'm not sure whether to tell you." At this point, the expression on Professor Deligne's face suddenly seemed hesitant, as if

I can't decide whether to say it or not.

Liu Yichen became curious: "What's going on?"

After looking around to make sure that no one was staring here anymore, Professor Deligne coughed lightly and lowered his voice and said: "I just heard an old friend talking about this year's Fields Medal. He asked

I revealed the list of recipients..."

Startled by the news, Liu Yichen looked at him in surprise. After a while, Liu Yichen looked at Professor Deligne suspiciously: "Professor, are you sure someone can know the list of Fields Medal winners in advance?"

As far as Liu Yichen knows, the list of Fields Medal winners is highly confidential. No one except the selection committee can know it. Even the winners will not know it in advance. Until the chairman of imu announces the winner, no one will know who has won it.

Fields Medal.

"Of course, this is a secret to most people, but to many people it is not a top secret." Professor Deligne lowered his voice, and then continued: "It's a pity that your name is not on it...

Although we all think that this year's Fields Medal is yours."

Liu Yichen:???

What the fuck!?

Isn’t it? Is there a mistake?

Isn’t this enough of a prize?

Just when Liu Yichen was shocked by these words, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Don't believe his lies. No one can know the list of winners before the list is announced, even if that person is Deligne!" Qiu Chengtong came over and looked at Deligne angrily: "Deligne, you

This old boy is really bad. He talks nonsense seriously and even makes fun of his own students. Today is not April Fool's Day."

"Qiu, you are such a hateful person. You didn't see how cute Liu was in surprise just now." Professor Deligne said to Qiu Chengtong angrily: "Liu was even shocked!"

Qiu Chengtong joined the chat, and there is still a lot of time before the opening ceremony starts.

Liu Yichen has not seen Qiu Chengtong for several months. Not long ago, Qiu Chengtong made a big news, that is, he deepened his cooperation with Shuimu University on the basis of the Qiu Shingtong Mathematics Research Center of Shuimu University, and officially joined Shuimu University and became a full-time professor with an annual salary.

All will be donated to fund mathematics interest camps.

There are also endless debates about Qiu Chengtong, who thinks that good people highly respect him. After all, his achievements in mathematics have long surpassed his teacher Mr. Chen, and for a scholar, the most important thing is academics.

However, his critics despised him extremely, pointing out that he was narrow-minded and could not see the kindness of his students. Because of his grievances with students, which involved the Department of Mathematics at Yanda, even the Department of Mathematics at Yanda was unable to study at the Department of Mathematics at Harvard...

...

But for Liu Yichen, he does not exclude Qiu Chengtong, because they both represent the Chinese mathematics community and are a banner of the Chinese mathematics community. After all, even if Qiu Chengtong becomes an American citizen, others will not think that he is an American.

They are Chinese or called Chinese.

For European and American countries where label culture is prevalent, this is very clear, that is, whether they like it or not, they belong to the same camp.

The three of them were talking and laughing, and the discussion gradually shifted to the 'Standard Conjecture'. After all, as the crown of the field of algebraic geometry, the 'Standard Conjecture' is a popular research topic in mathematics and is the key to the Riemann Hypothesis in the field of algebraic geometry.
