On the charge, Lu Zhou felt that he was still a bit weaker.

Because the old gentleman later added a sentence.

"Of course, you only have hope."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Faltins took the initiative to talk to him in an unprecedented way. It seems that he just said two sentences.

After that, the old gentleman carefully held the knife and fork to break down the steak and was indifferent to everything around him.

As if now, he is thinking about a math problem.

As for the scholar sitting on the other side of him, he was sitting on a needle-like expression.

I can see that the big man next to him brought a lot of pressure on him.

After the banquet in the Blue Room, there is also a dance party in the Golden Hall.

The swaying candlelight sprinkled from the copper candlesticks on either side of the hall, shining on the clear and clear floor tiles. The goddess Meralon sat on the mural in the middle of the hall, watching her dancing in the dance floor with her intelligent eyes. crowd.

As for Lu Zhou, he stood on the edge of the dance floor, holding a champagne in his hand, and talking to the scholars of the same distance.

I didn’t say hello at the banquet too far, but now I have a chance to see it.

Standing next to Lu Zhou, Academician Wang Yiping said with a soft voice: "I can't think of this one year, your growth has been so rapid, even the Crawford Awards have been obtained, really let us Yan Yanzi."

"Yanda young talents are also quite a few, such as Zhang Hao, Yun Zhizhen, Xu Chenyang and other seniors. When I was at Princeton, I often heard people talk about their research." Lu Zhou said with a smile.

"You should not be humble, your achievements are not only being talked about, but you are still young, and the road will only be wider in the future." Wang Yiping shook his head and paused for a while, then continued with a smile, "So. How long are you going to stay in Princeton? Can you still come back?"

"A short one or two years, a long three or five years." Lu Zhou said with a smile, "I am sure I will come back."

Wang Yuping said with a smile: "I am coming back, are you interested in coming to Yan Dadang?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "Account Chen has already asked me this question, but I think the environment of Jinling University is more suitable for me."

"Well, it seems that you also have your own plans," said Academician Wang Yiping, sighing and saying in a joking tone. "But Yan Yan didn't have the fate to invite you to be a professor. You occasionally come to our side to give a lecture. Or the report, is this always okay?"

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "I am very honored."

The dance has already been carried out in half, but Lu Zhou has no intention of participating in it.

It’s not because he’s totally uninterested, it’s purely because it’s a bit of a hurry, not to mention bringing relatives to the other two winners. He’s not even ready to dance.

But fortunately, it’s not just that he can’t dance. It’s not awkward to have a champagne standing on the side and chatting with his peers.

The premise is that no one came over to invite him to dance...

However, this is obviously impossible.

When Lu Zhou and Academician Wang Yuping chatted about the dinner at the banquet, a lady in a long dress with a tuxedo came over and smiled at him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Zhou, can you take up some time?"

Lu Zhou accidentally glanced at her: "Of course... can you ask me?"

"Maria Vyazovska," Maria smiled and held out her right hand. "If you think my family name is too swearing, you can call my name directly."

Hearing this name, Lu Zhou’s face appeared a trace of gloom.

Maria Vazovska, winner of the Salem Prize in February this year, like Molina's mentor, is also a popular candidate for the 18-year Philippine Award.

And this is also the case this year, she solved a well-known mathematical problem with nearly two hundred years of history, namely high-dimensional sphere filling in 8D and 24D.

This problem is closely related to crystal physics and string theory in theoretical physics. It can be said that it is a proposition that is not well-known but widely used.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I won't dance."

Shaking hands with the legendary goddess of mathematics, Lu Zhou politely expressed regret, but he was preparing to let go of his hand, only to find that the other party did not intend to let go.

"But you have to learn, aren't you?" Maria said with a smile. "I can teach you, I believe it is not a difficult thing for a 21-year-old genius who won the Crawford Award."

Lu Zhou did not expect her to say so, could not help but squat.

Is it true that Slavs are so enthusiastic?

But I really can't dance...

The lonely and sorrowful Lu Zhou could not help but cast a helpful look at the next academician Wang.

As a result, the old gentleman obviously was wrong, thinking that Lu Zhou wanted to open him, then he laughed and said.

"The old man of mine will not bother you young people. I should also say hello to a few old friends."

After that, the old man left his hands behind his back and smiled and left.

......

Dancing is just a normal communication path and has no special meaning. It is said that a Nobel laureate was too excited to dance, and even jumped out of the shoes, everyone just smiled.

In fact, Maria Vazovska did not do anything to him. The two just danced together and even exchanged math problems while dancing.

As for why he suddenly talked about mathematics, mainly because Lu Zhou was concealing his embarrassment in the dance steps, he deliberately thrown a mathematical proposition to try to divert her attention.

After all, he is a newbie in dancing. The only practical basis is the only nth set of radio gymnastics and eye exercises.

Perhaps, I really should take the time to learn these things.

After all, Lu Zhou felt that he would come here once a day.

Moreover, it is another identity.

After the ball was over, the guests were leaving.

For scholars, there will be reports to be prepared tomorrow. For couples who are on the dance floor, they don't want to waste time on the dance floor.

After dragging the tired body back to the hotel, Lu Zhou threw the dress on the chair and fell on the bed, giving a sigh of relief.

Today is definitely the most tiring day of his year.

Even if it was a retreat to challenge Goldbach's conjecture, I encountered a problem that I couldn't figure out. I walked around the house for a whole day, and I was absolutely not as tired as I am today.

However, the happiness of this is also quite wonderful.

Not only the honor brought by the Crawford Award, but also a $500,000 bonus...

After meditation on a few normal minds, Lu Zhou was preparing to put the medal aside, and suddenly remembered that he almost forgot an important thing.

This award-winning joy does not seem to have time to share with its fans.

This is a lot embarrassed...

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou smiled and sat up from the bed and walked to the window in a leisurely walk.

It is still facing the night scene outside the window, but in the lens, there is a yellow medal.

This time, Lu Zhou gave his blog a line of text, revealing the mystery of the collar last night.

[A night scene that is fascinating, I hope to return later
