God's Crown

Chapter 218

After making the call, the person who answered the phone was Chen Ming, who said in surprise on the other end, "Professor?"

An Yan dialed the office number, but he was stunned for a moment and said, "You haven't returned to China? Are you still at Princeton University?"

"Professor, we are basically still at Princeton University. It's just that Han Qiu has something to do and went back to China. Mia has returned to England, and the others have not left."

After pondering for a while, An Yan said, "Okay, the International Conference of Mathematicians on my side is coming to an end soon, I will go back to Huaguo, and then I will return to Princeton to continue the project." After An Yan finished speaking, there was silence. for a while.Chen Ming didn't speak on the other end of the phone. He got the news before that the professor won the Fields Medal.But he really wanted to confirm with the professor, but when the professor called, he didn't know what to say.

"Professor, when you come back, shall we start the research on gauge field theory?"

An Yan pondered and said, "Probably so." After thinking for a while, he said to Chen Ming, "It should be the study of gauge field theory, and we still lack a lot in this regard. Alright, let's go do other things."

"Professor, are you really going to start research on the Grand Unified Theory?" Chen Ming still said incredulously, "GUT is not easy to do, and many theoretical physicists have given up on GUT to study astrophysics. .”

"I know." An Yan responded, "You shouldn't ask about this matter, just keep doing it, and don't need to think too much about other things. Are you sure you won't return to China during this holiday? Maybe there will be For a long time, you may not be able to return to your country, if you are sure there is nothing wrong, I hope you can stay at Princeton University and do research.”

"You know, I'm a very strict person. At least, I think my research requirements are quite strict. I don't want some inexplicable situations to appear. This is a very uncomfortable thing for me. Good thing. My main focus is on research."

"Don't worry, professor." Chen Ming said with a chuckle, "We assure you that nothing will happen, it's just the Chinese New Year..."

"Don't worry, Christmas will let you go home." An Yan still knew that students were not allowed to go home during the July holidays, at least during the Spring Festival, these students had to go home.Otherwise, his professor is really a bit unreasonable.

Rubbing between his brows, An Yan took a deep breath and hung up the phone.He began to think about how he should do this subject after returning to Princeton University.

Mathematical models are required, as well as a lot of calculations and the basis of physics.To be honest, among his students, apart from him, it seems that only Wang Yunqi and He Yang know a little about mathematics.There is also Han Qiu, but when Han Qiu returned home, Wang Yunqi and He Yang were the only ones who could do this.

He Yang, this guy, although he is okay when doing things.But there is a problem. For GUT, the effect of He Yang may not be very good.Especially for a lot of theoretical knowledge, He Yang may not be particularly good at applying it.After all, this matter still needs to be done by yourself. Well, let's give them two simpler tasks.

An Yan thought so in her heart and stretched her waist.He stood on the window sill and looked out for a while, then called Professor Li Bo.

"Professor Li, when are you going back to China?"

"The day after tomorrow, why do you want to go back to China?"

"Yes, Professor Li will book a ticket for me to go back to China by the way?"

"Okay, anyway, it won't cost a lot of money, why do you have something to do when you go back to China?"

"Well, there are still some things that can't be finished. CCTV invited me to do a program. I thought that I have arrived in Seoul anyway, and it is not far from the capital, so I will go back to China. Just right, I heard that Brother seems to be doing some kind of program, and he is going to do it soon. Maybe after returning to China, he can go to see it live."

"Yo, besides Gu Weize, you can't think of anything else, right?" Professor Li Bo said with a smile, "What show, do you want me to call you and make sure you can sit in the first row."

"Hi, I will get in touch myself." An Yan said with a smile, "After you return to China, will you continue to do applied physics?"

"It's not a matter of applied physics." Professor Li Bo lay on the bed, rubbing his brows and said, "There is no way to do things about mechanics. I just hope that you can complete the unification of electromagnetic and gravitational force, and then give us these things. Doing mechanics brings some new gadgets."

"You're right." An Yan said dumbfounded, "Even if the unification of electromagnetic gravity is completed, it's just a basic theory. To be honest, I find it quite difficult to make practical things from this foundation."

"Okay, you guys are studying gauge theory, I'll just think about it. If you can complete a unified theory, you will get the Nobel Prize. By then, you will really be a national treasure-level physicist."

"Let's talk." An Yan smiled and didn't continue talking.He knew that Professor Li Bo's words were true. The Yang-Mills equations had been solved, and there was basically no difficulty in the gauge field theory for him.At most, that is, in the unification of strong electricity, there will be many difficulties.

But he is confident that he can overcome these difficulties.

"Okay, I won't tell you these things for now." Professor Li Bo yawned, "I'll be in touch with you when I leave Seoul."

"You should rest early, too."

"it is good."

After An Yan hung up the phone, she took out her mobile phone and thought about it, then logged into the bib and looked at Gu Weize's bib. Recently, Gu Wei was not as diligent in updating the bib as before.It is estimated that there are many things, so the speed of updating the bib is very slow.As for him, he is not a person who likes to update the scarf.

After looking at it for a while, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.

On the day of returning to the capital, Professor Li Bo contacted An Yan, and An Yan was talking to Faltings about the Yang-Mills equation.

Probably because Faltins still has some things that are not clear, and wanted to ask An Yan, and happened to see that An Yan was at the hotel.So he asked An Yan about the Yang-Mills equation in the room, and An Yan was discussing with Faltings while calculating with a paper.

Professor Li Bo's phone call came at this time.

An Yan who received the call was stunned for a moment and said, "Professor Li Bo, who is this?"

"I said, An Yan, don't forget, you have to go back to China today."

"Ann?" Faltings looked at An Yan and said, "Do you have anything to do?"

An Yan then embarrassedly said to Faltings, "Mr. Faltings, I'm sorry, I may be returning to China soon."

"It's okay." Faltings said with a smile, "It's just that, I already understand it."

"Have you any other questions?"

"If there are no accidents, I can continue to calculate the next things by myself." Faltings said as he walked out the door with the draft paper, "You haven't returned to Huaguo for a long time, I think you also It should be time to return to China, isn't it?"

"Thank you, Mr. Faltings." An Yan bowed slightly.

Faltings left the room, "Ann, I wish you all the best."

"I mean, on the GUT." After Faltings finished speaking, he had already walked away.

An Yan took a deep breath and said to Professor Li Bo on the phone, "Professor Li, wait a minute, I'll clean up and come down right away."

"Okay." Professor Li Bo said decisively, "But you have to be faster, we won't be able to get on the plane so easily if it's late."

"Okay." An Yan nodded slightly, "Then I'll clean up faster."

After An Yan finished speaking, she hung up the phone and began to tidy up and salute swiftly.After a while, I came to the lobby of the hotel. Professor Li Bo stood in the lobby and raised his brows at An Yan and said, "You took a long time to clean up."

Standing beside Professor Li Bo was the young man from the embassy. He said to An Yan, "Professor An, we meet again."

"Hello."

"Hello there!"

"Professor An, the ambassador heard that you are going to the airport. At this time, it must be too late if you go by car. The ambassador said that I will take you to the airport."

"Thank you so much, Ambassador." An Yan said to the young man with a smile, "If it wasn't for the Ambassador, I think we might really miss the flight back to the capital."

"It's fine." The young man shook his head, "It's a great honor to drive with the Fields Medal winner."

"You're right..." An Yan didn't know how to answer the young man's words.

After getting in the car, he didn't speak.Arriving at the airport, An Yan thanked the young people, and then they entered the airport and got on the plane.Professor Li Bo then said, "Professor An, thanks to you, this is the first time for me to take the car of the embassy. The people who won the Fields Medal are different. They are indeed the top mathematicians in the world."

"But I'm in physics." An Yan said dumbfoundedly, "Besides, I may not be able to bear the title of master of mathematics. Mr. Grothendieck is still here. Mr. Searle, too. Here, Sir Michael Atiyah is still in England, so there is no way it will be my turn."

"It's a pity, they are all very prestigious in the academic world just like Mr. Yang, but if they want to continue their research now, it must be impossible."

"But if you are still doing research in mathematics, you are already a top master in the world. This is not what I said, but a fact that anyone who does mathematics research will admit. Let me tell you You don’t have to flatter yourself as a math guy if you’re a physics guy, right?”

"You're still here." An Yan said, clutching his forehead, "I'm a physics student."

"Theoretical physics is too closely related to mathematics." Professor Li Bo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although you don't seem to have any top-notch achievements in theoretical physics now, I believe that you may shake the whole world soon. physics."

"Sigh." An Yan sighed, "It's not about shaking the entire physics world, but I'm just thinking about one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"About GUT." An Yan lay on the chair and sighed, "I haven't figured out how to continue to do GUT, and I don't even know how to do mathematical modeling."

Professor Li Bo squinted his eyes at An Yan and said, "Farewell, we were all deceived by you."

"You bastard." Professor Li Bo suddenly didn't know how to speak to An Yan.

"What?" An Yan looked at Professor Li Bo curiously and said, "Professor Li, you look like this, so you have something to say."

"Hi." Professor Li Bo said with a slight sigh, "What should I say about you?"

Rubbing his brows, Professor Li Bo continued, "Before you said you were on the Yang-Mills equation, but you have some understanding, right?"

"Yes." An Yan nodded slightly, "I do have some understanding."

"Then you solved the Yang-Mills equation." Professor Li Bo spread his hands and said, "Everyone thought you just made a breakthrough in the Yang-Mills equation, but you actually solved the Yang-Mills equation directly. Mills equation. You know, that is the Yang-Mills equation. Everyone is guessing that you may not be able to solve it. I didn’t expect you to solve it so quickly. To be honest, no one thought of this matter. Who knows what you guys are still thinking? Maybe you just made GUT out of it?"

"You all think highly of me." An Yan said dumbfoundedly, "If I could really make GUT, I probably wouldn't be here, but research at Princeton University. Now I want to do research on Regarding GUT, unfortunately, there is no way I don’t even know how to do it.”

"Look, you're talking nonsense again. It's okay if you really don't know what to do, but you should know what to do by now. Besides, I think you seem to be doing pretty well, at least in As for the gauge field theory, I think you should have done a very good job."

Scratching her head, An Yan didn't know what to say.

He thought for a while, and it is true that maybe the shock he brought to everyone by solving the Yang-Mills equation by himself is very great.

He never thought that this thing could be solved at the International Congress of Mathematicians.He was a little worried about how far he could go.It was just that he had some inspiration at that time and thought that he might be able to untie it, so he did it.I didn't expect to actually untie this thing.

It seems to give people a feeling that he is omnipotent.

If he is really omnipotent, that would be fine, but the point is, he is not omnipotent.

Solving the Yang-Mills equation is just a coincidence, and there is still a long way to go from a part of the theory of GUT.These things, he was very clear in his heart, if he could make a GUT at once, he thought, probably he would go back to Princeton directly to study, instead of going back to China to participate in any program.Even if he agreed to someone else's program, wouldn't it be enough to wait until he finished his research before participating?

Professor Li Bo didn't continue to speak, and An Yan was also thinking in his heart.

As the first Chinese to win the Fields Medal, what should he do?Is it possible to take the lead in making GUT?After solving the Yang-Mills equation, there must be many people who want to start researching GUT on the gauge field theory, so it is not certain whether he will be the first to do it.There are many top laboratories in the world, there are many theoretical physicists, and there are also many talented people.He leaves a lot to be desired now, especially for brilliant theoretical physicists.His biggest highlight is probably his math is really good.

It's so good that no one else can catch up with it.

But in physics, he doesn't actually have much advantage.In addition, his contribution to physics, especially theoretical physics, can be regarded as almost none.

I believe that those who are not optimistic about him are in the majority.

This question is actually quite simple, at least An Yan has not shown any particularly shocking theoretical results in physics.Even research results are pitifully scarce.

If so, he ran to continue to do math problems now.I believe that many people have very high expectations for him, and even everyone thinks that he can succeed.

But now that An Yan has gone to work as a GUT, people who know him still have certain expectations for him, but the expectations are not particularly high.People who don't know him can hardly expect him to do GUT.It even felt that it was almost impossible for him to make it.

It's as if Professor Constantine told him that if he makes any unified theory in GUT, he can be nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize.

But can he make arbitrary unified theory in GUT?

Come to think of it, it still feels unreal.

When the plane arrived at the Capital Airport, Professor Li Bo went to Peking University first because he had something to do.And An Yan called the chief director and told him that he had arrived in the capital.

The chief director said excitedly on the other end of the phone, "Professor An, how about I pick you up?"

"No need, I will find a hotel to stay at random. When the time comes, just give me a call before you want to record the show, and I'll just come over." He was also a little tired, and wanted to find a hotel to stay in and rest one time.

Find a hotel and check in.An Yan ate first, then went to bed directly, and sent Gu Wei a text message before going to bed——

【Brother Ze, I have arrived in the capital and am going to rest for a while.Are you busy there? I heard that you are going to record a show recently. When are you going? 】

Did Gu Wei send a message to An Yan? An Yan didn't know, but he was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

…………

In the CCTV office, the chief director said excitedly to the staff, "I just received a call from Professor An, and he has confirmed that he will come to our program."

"I think we can actually make a special topic. Professor An is the first Chinese national winner and the youngest winner of the Fields Medal. I think this special topic must be very positive when we do it."

"But..." The staff was stunned for a moment, "Actually, the ratings of our CCTV have not been very high. Don't children nowadays like to watch celebrities? Should we invite some celebrities to increase the ratings?" Rate?"
