Chapter 331: List of Academicians Announced

Hearing the news that the peer review was successfully passed, Xu Chuan smiled brightly.

The NS equation has a special meaning to him, which is the dream of two lives.

After adjusting his clothes, he bowed slightly to the four people in front of him to express his gratitude for their hard work during this period.

"Thank you! This is the best news I have ever heard!"

To be honest, Xu Chuan was also shocked by the speed of peer review of the NS equation proof paper.

In less than 20 days, it passed the peer review. This speed, put in a conjecture at the level of the Millennium Problem, is lightning fast.

Under normal circumstances, even if the prover successfully passed the report meeting and conquered most people, it would take at least two months to pass the peer review if everything went well.

In order to ensure the correctness of the paper, especially this kind of proof paper that has a great impact on the entire mathematics community, it is necessary to review it over and over again to verify that every detail of the paper is correct.

And this time, on the one hand, the proof of the NS equation is only the last step left, and the previous related papers have been reviewed.

On the other hand, the mathematical tool for solving this problem, the "differential construction method", is so perfect that the peer review team can hardly find its flaws.

So after consultation with the peer review team and the members of the International Mathematical Union, it was decided to unanimously approve the proof paper of the NS equation.

On the side, Robert, the editor-in-chief of "New Advances in Mathematics", came up with a smile, gave him a hug, and patted him on the back.

"Congratulations, Xu, your paper will be published in the next issue of "New Advances in Mathematics". We will do our best to promote this great success to the mathematical and physical communities so that more people will know about it."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

The proof paper of the NS equation passed the final peer review, and the time came to mid-to-late December.

After two days of rest, the 19th academician election meeting is about to begin.

Xu Chuan did not delay any more time, packed his luggage and took the high-speed rail to Beijing.

The place where he settled was still the familiar Beihai Hotel, and even the room was the original fixed one.

According to the hotel manager, this room has become his exclusive guest room, and no matter how long he leaves, no one else will be arranged to stay.

After staying in the hotel for a night, the 2019 academician election meeting of the two academies officially opened.

In the early morning, when it was just light, Xu Chuan had already gotten up and washed up.

After a simple breakfast in the hotel, he took the special car arranged by the Science and Technology Department and came to the China Assembly Hall.

When he passed the inspection at the door and followed the protocol staff to the venue, the whole venue was already crowded with people.

Looking at the crowds in the auditorium, Xu Chuan sighed a little. He thought he came early, after all, the formal meeting would not start until 10 o'clock, and it was not yet 8:30.

As a result, it seems that he might be the last one to come.

Seeing Xu Chuan coming in, the protocol staff waiting in the venue immediately came over: "Professor Xu, your seat is the third in the middle group of the second row. Do you need me to take you there?"

Xu Chuan nodded and smiled: "Then I'll trouble you."

To be honest, although there were a lot of people in the venue, he didn't know many people.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he doesn't engage in the domestic academic circle. Since returning to China, except for things related to the project, he has hardly left Jinling.

In addition, he has only been famous for two years and returned to China, so he doesn't know many people.

At least, he doesn't know many people who came to attend the report meeting for the election of academicians of the two academies today.

However, just because he doesn't know other people doesn't mean that the other people attending the meeting don't know him.

As Xu Chuan followed the etiquette staff into the venue, someone soon came up to greet him warmly.

"Professor Xu. Long time no see." A middle-aged man in a suit came over and greeted him warmly with a smile on his face.

Xu Chuan stopped and turned his head to look. The person in front of him looked familiar. After a quick thought, he reacted and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Dean Liu."

The person who greeted him was Professor Liu Changan, the general manager of the Observation Array Center of the Southern Yunnan Observatory, who was taught by Academician Nan Rendong.

When he used the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to expand the application of parameter four, he had met Dean Liu several times.

I didn't expect to meet him here today.

"After a few years, I didn't expect Professor Xu to still remember me." Liu Changan replied with a smile, and he was also a little emotional.

In a few years, the young genius who was highly valued by the country during his freshman year has now grown into the No. 1 in the domestic academic world. Even in the world, he is ranked in the top three, if not the first.

If we only look at his achievements in mathematics and physics, no one would object to saying that he is the No. 1.

Two millennium century problems and a Nobel Prize, involving many fields such as mathematics, physics, and astronomy, are enough to push him to the top of the current mathematics world.

Not to mention the current academic world, even if we look at the entire history, there are only a handful of people who have achieved such results.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Back then, when I was at the Observation Array Center of the Southern Yunnan Observatory, I had to thank Dean Liu for his care."

Liu Changan smiled and said: "Well, it's just a matter of two researchers. Speaking of which, the Betelgeuse observation results you left at the Southern Yunnan Observatory Observation Array Center are of greater help to me."

"If it weren't for your important astronomical achievements, I might not have the chance to stand here today."

Although his senior brother Professor Nan Rendong, the development of domestic astronomy is relatively late. At present, all the close-range astronomical phenomena that can be observed have been divided up by foreign astronomical institutions, and it is still difficult to achieve results.

The result of the existence of a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope is undoubtedly disruptive in the astronomical community.

Although the young man in front of me made it, as the general manager of the Southern Yunnan Observatory Observation Array Center, he still reaped a lot of dividends.

After all, the results were made with the help of their observation array equipment, and they could not be avoided no matter what. Coupled with his original achievements and contributions, he has the opportunity to stand here today.

Otherwise, according to his original estimation, he would have to wait at least a few more years or even more than ten years to continue to hone his qualifications and achievements before he would have a chance to be nominated.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Dean Liu is being humble. Everyone sees your contribution to the astronomy industry. The discovery of Betelgeuse is just the icing on the cake."

Liu Changan smiled and said: "When will Professor Xu have time to sit at the observation center again and give guidance on the development route of our domestic astronomy?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I don't dare to take advice seriously. I will definitely go when I have time."

"Hahaha, okay, then it's settled, I'll definitely come when I have time." Liu Changan laughed and replied, and he didn't take up too much of Xu Chuan's time.

In this conference, not only him, there must be more people who want to say hello to this young national treasure scholar and become familiar with him, so he simply chatted for a few words to leave an impression and then left. .

Xu Chuan followed the etiquette staff to his seat. Along the way, many people came up to greet him, and he responded politely one by one.

As time passes, the countdown to the start of the conference begins.

Professors and scholars who participated in this grand event took their seats one after another. Leaders at all levels arrived and took their seats one after another, and the auditorium gradually became quiet.

The red curtain and bright red podium made the atmosphere of the entire assembly hall dignified and solemn.

As the loud national anthem sounded, all the guests in the assembly hall stood up.

When the resounding voice came to an end, the 2019 academician selection report conference for the two academies, which had attracted much attention from domestic academic circles after nearly two years of selection, officially kicked off.

Academician Bai Lichun, dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and executive director of the academic group, took the lead in taking the stage to deliver the opening speech.

Afterwards, he took the stage to speak, hoping that the newly elected academicians would take practical actions to strengthen their work style and study style, set an example in promoting the spirit of scientists and safeguarding scientific ethics, play an academic leading role, and continue to climb the peak of science and technology.

After some impassioned speeches, the conference also entered the final theme, announcing the list of additional academicians of the two academies in 2019.

The list was sorted by the pinyin of the last name of the branch. Under the passionate and steady voice of the person presiding over the conference, the first person to be awarded the list of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He is Director Chang Jin of the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory.

He has made important progress in space detection of dark matter, development of space astronomical observation equipment, and data analysis. He has innovatively developed a new technology method for high-energy cosmic ray electron detection and successfully applied it to the Antarctic long-period balloon detection ATIC experiment.

He made important contributions to the development of astronomy in China.

In the audience, as the first list was announced, warm applause also sounded in the auditorium, and everyone was congratulating this great scholar.

On the other side of NTU, in the office of President Liu Gaojun in the Administration Building, Chen Zhengping, Dean of the School of Mathematics Rong Zhizhuan, and Dean of the School of Physics Yu Yongwang were sitting on the sofa and chatting at the TV on the wall.

"After almost twenty years, our school can finally produce another young academician." In the office, Liu Gaojun sighed while watching the live broadcast on TV.

Since the year 2000, although NTU has produced academicians, it has not produced any young academicians under the age of 40 for 20 years.

The last time NTU had a young academician under the age of 40 was back in 1997.

On the side, Rong Zhizhuan said with a smile: "I heard that the Academy of Engineering has also reported Professor Xu's list. I wonder if he has a chance to become an academician of both academies this year?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Liu Gaojun took over with a smile: "With his achievements, it is enough to obtain academician qualifications in both the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, but it is probably not possible to become an academician of both academies in the same year."

"After all, there is no case where academicians of both academies are awarded to the same person in the same year, unless the above makes an exception."

"But after a few more years, it should be no problem to become an academician of the two academies. By then, we will also have a scholar at the level of an academician of the two academies at Nanjing University."

On the side, Yu Yongwang said with a smile: "It would be better to say that this time he can get a place in the Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Engineering."

Chen Zhengping thought for a moment and said: "It is most likely the Academy of Sciences. Although the artificial SEI film and nuclear waste reuse technology projects he researched are very important, the weight of the Nobel Prize + Philippine Prize is still greater."

"Look, no matter what, Professor Xu will definitely get one this year."
