Chapter 254: Triumphant return

News will always fly faster than an airplane, not to mention that the news was already in the country before Lu Zhou boarded the plane back home.
The first report was naturally an interview with CTV.
Unlike the previous few times, which appeared only in a group of newsletters that were incidentally broadcast in the news network / broadcast, this time, CCTV really regarded him as a hot news of current affairs and put it on the news network / broadcast's feature film. After 1 minute, I introduced the Goldbach Conjecture and the Crawford Awards.
Goldbach conjectures this term. Most people who have heard of Chen Jingrun and "1 + 2" will not be unfamiliar. But the Crawford Awards are relatively new to most people.
After all, no one in China has ever won this award, and naturally the country will not deliberately do publicity in this regard. People in the industry certainly understand the gold content of this award. As for the rest, there is no need to understand anything unrelated to them.
But now that someone has won this award, the meaning is naturally different.
Compared with applied science, basic science is a relatively weak area in China, but weakness does not mean giving up. Although the weight of a Crawford Award is not as good as the real Nobel Prize, it is still quite important in the entire field of natural sciences.
The emergence of an outstanding scholar, especially a young scholar, is huge in both the national self-confidence and the leading role in the development of the entire field. This effect will not be immediately reflected on the paper data, but will occur in the subtle way, which will change subtly ...
In the small town of Jiangling, the Lu family sat at the dinner table.
The news happened to be on TV.
Moreover, it happened to be CCTV reporter's interview with Lu Zhou.
When he heard the familiar voice, Xiao Tong, who was buried in food, lifted his head and saw the familiar face, and his deer-like eyes suddenly widened.
"Voge ... Old, brother ?!"
"Don't swear! Girls are going to college soon, be quiet!"
Fang Mei criticized Xiao Tong as usual, but her tone was weak, because her eyes could not move away from the TV.
As for Lao Lu, he was completely stunned, let alone forgot to educate Xiao Tong, even the chopsticks at the bowl stopped.
"This boy ... even won the Nobel Prize?"
Xiaotong uttered a sentence next to him: "Dad, you've just lost your eyes when you were 50 years old, and they clearly won the Crawford Award."
"I said your dad? This little thing ..." Although Lu reprimanded his mouth, his face was so happy that he couldn't shut his mouth.
After seeing this news, he didn't have any meal, so he got up and went to look for his mobile phone and called his son.
The first pass failed, and a busy tone sounded.
The second time I called, the call was called through.
"Hello, you guys can mix outside, don't you say anything?"
Listening to the familiar voice in the mobile phone, he just stepped off the plane's land boat and said with a smile.
"I'm not trying to surprise you."
It ’s boring to talk on the phone. I guess I have to talk to my dad for a long time about mathematics. There is no difference between the Nobel Prize, the Crawford Prize and the Nobel Prize. Anyway, CTV will also popularize for itself, just wait for the news to get the popular science for itself, then it will be more surprising.
"I just got off the plane and the phone was just turned off ... Someone was calling me. I won't say anything. I'll be home in two days anyway."
Lao Lu was happy and said with a smile: "Your kid is very busy. Who is calling you?"
Lu Zhou: "Maybe it's school. Hang up first."
Lu Zhou did not guess wrong. The call really came from Jinda.
But it doesn't really matter whether it is connected or not, because when he connected to the phone, he had already seen the dean Qin who was on the phone, and several students had opened the banner at the entrance of the airport.
[Congratulations to Lu Zhou, a bachelor's and master's graduate of our school, and Professor of Mathematics at Princeton Institute for Advanced Research. He has overcome the world's difficult Goldbach conjecture and won the Crafford Mathematics Award. 】
The banner this time was a bit long, and Lu Zhou did n’t even want to see it.
And it ’s not just the principal of the University of Jin, Academician Xu, and President Qin of the Academy. Lu Zhou even saw the top secretary of Jinling City, and some of them in suits greeted him with a smile, but he never met. people.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't know it. If you are a well-known scholar in China, you may need to spend some time thinking about dealing with these leaders.
But Lu Zhou ’s current status is the Craford Prize winner, a young scholar pushed by the propaganda machine. Even if the distance to the Fields Prize, the so-called distance is just waiting for an 18-year international mathematician conference.
For such internationally renowned scholars, many rules that are taken for granted to ordinary people are no longer practical for him.
Upon meeting, Academician Xu enthusiastically held Lu Zhou's hand and shook it solemnly.
"Professor Lu Zhou, you have brought such a great honor to our math cause for our Jinling University, for our country, and on behalf of all the teachers and students of Jinda, thank you!"
Lu Zhou smiled humbly and said, "The principal, you speak a lot. I just did what I should do as a scholar."
Academician Xu has a standard scientific background. Although he is not studying mathematics but information security, he is also a scholar. He knows that Lu Zhou doesn't like to waste time on red tape, so he didn't talk nonsense at the airport for too long.
After a brief two-hour question, he introduced Lu Zhou and other leaders to Lu Zhou.
In addition to the leaders in the city, there are two other leaders from the province. It can be seen that the country attaches great importance to him ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Not only that, but the provincial leaders also revealed a news that this is not just the province Here, even the central government attaches great importance.
As for how much attention is paid, the leader from the province only said that it was a good thing, but did not mention what it was.
There was no delay at the airport, and Lu Zhou quickly took the school's special car to pick him up.
Academician Xu and President Qin naturally took a car with Lu Zhou.
After some greetings, Academician Xu stopped talking, and President Qin cleared his throat and spoke in an embarrassed tone.
"... That's it. After research and discussion in our school and college, I want to grant you the title of honorary professor. I wonder if you are interested?"
Honorary professors are not the same as guest professors or special-appointed professors. The former is just an honorary title, while the latter two are fixed contracts and faculty work contracts.
With Jinling University's fame and historical background, the title of honorary professor will definitely not humiliate Lu Zhou's identity, but Jinda's Department of Mathematics is a small and transparent status in the country, and it is definitely stained with Lu Zhou.
However, Lu Zhou didn't care, and not to mention that Jin Da helped a lot of himself and made his alma mater proud of his name, which is a matter of pride in itself.
Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Of course no problem, but the procedure will not be too long, will I? I have to return to Jiangling in two days."
Xiaotong is going to take the college entrance examination soon. If it takes too long, he would prefer to wait until the United States.
This time he and Princeton took a vacation for more than a month, and some time.
Dean Qin Haha said with a smile: "It won't take long for the relevant procedures to be prepared. We can grant you the honorary professor's certificate and the degree certificate together after your report!"
After hearing this, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
