Back Before the College Entrance Exam, I Became Popular in the Science Community

Returning to the time before the college entrance exam, Wu Tong decided to study hard to change the tragedy of her previous life and become her parents' pride. From being the top student in her gr...

Chapter 149 Convinced

Amidst a mix of emotions among scholars, some feeling proud, some admiring, some envious, and some uncomfortable, this congress came to a close, and the two most prestigious awards, the Hua Prize and the Chen Prize, were both decided.

It is definitely not true to say that there is no one present who is dissatisfied.

Isn't it true that everyone likes good things like money? What's more, the award that is pursued by countless scholars has been decided. But what can you do if you are not convinced, unless they can also come up with such blockbuster results, right?

Reporters who were allowed into the venue took pictures of the classic scenes on the spot. The sound of shutter clicks was endless, especially when Wu Tong received the award, the whole venue was filled with flashes.

As soon as the opening ceremony was announced to be over, people started rushing to chase after today's winners, the winners of the two grand prizes.

Wu Tong felt she wasn't a celebrity, didn't need exposure, and wasn't used to noisy interviews. Furthermore, Cai Yi was worried about the danger posed by the crowds and the mixed crowds.

So, before the meeting ended, Wu Tong said goodbye to the commander, left first, and waited in the car.

As soon as the meeting ended, she was escorted by Cai Yi, and the two of them nimbly left the scene before the crowd gathered. Seeing Wu Tong's agile figure, the teachers and leaders smiled and sighed, "It's great to be young!"

Despite Wu Tong's swift departure, her news presence was still a major concern. She was still the subject of intense media coverage, and soon, all sorts of headlines appeared on major news websites.

[She is the youngest winner of the Chen Award in China? ]

[A groundbreaking achievement: A 17-year-old prodigy wins the Chern Prize, China's highest honor in mathematics!]

In an instant, such grand news was flooded all over the Internet by enthusiastic netizens who paid attention to it from all angles. A series of exclamations occupied the comment sections of major media outlets. The most common emotion was the exclamation marks that kept flooding the screen. This was an expression of shock that was beyond words, and the only way to express respect was to flood the screen with exclamation marks.

After waiting in the car for a long time, Pan Wenhua and his group finally got back on board. As soon as they got in, Pan Wenhua laughed and teased Wu Tong, "You young people are so light on your feet and can run fast, but you've left us old guys at the conference venue surrounded by the media!"

When the media saw this, if they couldn't catch Wu Tong, they would catch her teacher. In any case, they had to complete the interview manuscript as soon as possible.

"You are still as skilled as ever!" Wu Tong smiled innocently. Could it be that she had trapped the two deans?

Professor Zhou gently pointed at Pan Wenhua from a distance and said, "You've been saying that, old man, for twenty years, ever since I first entered school. It's still the best time of the year! If you could just pull down the corners of your happy mouth, someone might actually believe you're really talking about sadness. I think the neighbors are getting jealous seeing this kind of siege, and they're so eager to be with you, to take your place!"

I wonder how happy their dean must have been when the media rushed to interview him!

"Comrade Zhou, it's not fair to tear down the stage!" However, he was really happy. There were four people who won the Hua Award and Chen Award, and their School of Mathematics of Peking University took up two seats. They could be said to be the biggest winners. Shouldn't they be happy?

As the dean of the School of Mathematics at Peking University, he must be happy and proud to have received such an honor during his term!

"Hahaha..." Suddenly, Lang Lang's loud laughter echoed in the car.

There was actually a banquet after the opening ceremony, but none of the people in the car were very interested, nor did they want to take advantage of this opportunity to socialize too much and enjoy the so-called noisy atmosphere of clinking glasses and toasting each other. After reaching a consensus, they went back first.

In the evening, the family returned home in high spirits. Seeing the medal and certificate that Wu Tong brought back as well as the hot news that Wu Tong's award had sparked, they couldn't help but beam with joy and were extremely proud.

"It's a pity that this is in Beijing. If it were in my hometown, I would set off tens of thousands of fireworks and firecrackers in front of the door to congratulate Tongtong!" Jin Yuan said with a little regret.

Jin Yongqing looked carefully at the medal in his hand, wishing he could use a magnifying glass to examine it micron by micron. "Tongtong, you should have notified us to come back sooner!"

Playing outside is not as important as coming back to share the joy with Tongtong!

The medal is there and I can’t run away. It’s a rare occasion for my family to go on a trip. We’ve already come a long way, so I might as well have a good time!

Wu Tong just smiled without saying anything. She had already felt excited at the meeting, and now she was happy more because she could bring pride and joy to her family!

She wanted to be the glory of her family, and this was already being fulfilled one by one!

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the 7th, Wu Tong simply tidied up her appearance and mood backstage. After hearing the host's invitation, she walked steadily towards the podium. The staff helped her open the PPT of the report.

At this moment, looking down at the audience, the place was already full, a larger crowd than she had expected. The appeal of her report seemed far greater than she had imagined. She had originally thought that this report was not a new development, but merely a repetition of previously published content, without much novelty or appeal.

Wu Tong clearly overlooked the allure of being the youngest Chen Award winner, and the power of celebrity. Who wouldn't want to hear a lecture from someone who might be the youngest Philippine Award winner in the future?

Wu Tong's paper is very insightful and it is difficult to understand it without a certain level of knowledge. Now that I am personally reporting and explaining it, although I am embarrassed to admit it, this is really a rare learning opportunity.

Wu Tong began by simply thanking the attendees for coming to listen to her report, and then went straight to the point: "When studying the twin prime conjecture, I always felt that I needed a tool to solve the problem at hand!

I repeatedly studied the proofs of my predecessors on the properties of prime numbers, and constantly drew inspiration from them. Standing on the shoulders of giants, I was inspired... and when I was solving the Polignac conjecture, I made this tool.

The method I proposed is called the Infinite Group Proof Method! It is mainly aimed at the research process of the infinity of prime numbers, making complex problems clear and simple...

This was Wu Tong's first official lecture in front of national mathematicians. Wu Tong spoke at a moderate pace, describing her considerations and meticulously explaining the core ideas and applications of the infinite group proof method...

Wu Tong had a calm expression, extraordinary demeanor, and a magnanimous bearing. The content of his report was detailed and solid, and it truly impressed those who could understand it. Most of those who were dissatisfied yesterday, except for those who were really biased, were convinced today!

As expected of the top geniuses who are praised as rare in a century, they are indeed not as good as this underage girl who can still be called a child!

The pearl of Peking University, the level of world-class scholars, opened their eyes! Before, they were just frogs in a well!
