Beijing University-Chen Muhua: [Brothers, get ready to get on the plane. Don't miss me in China. I will bear witness for everyone.]
Joint Examination Group, which was created two years ago, is still very popular today, and even the group chat level has been raised to a very high level.
Naturally, the contribution of these guys who are in the water group every day is indispensable.
At this time, Chen Muhua posted a photo in the group. It showed him sitting in a plane, with the scenery of the airport outside the window. At the same time, he placed the ticket in the middle, and the flight above was from Shangjing to Saint Petersburg.
Today is already July 3rd, and there are only three days left before the lecture of the century in mathematics and physics.
It is also time to set off for Chinese mathematics scholars and enthusiasts who are preparing to attend the conference.
Chen Muhua is one of them.
As soon as his photo was posted in the group, there were a lot of divers in the group.
Danfu-Xu Kangcheng: [Wori, you really deserve to die!]
[You deserve to die!]*n.
A lot of people expressed envy.
Which of them wouldn't want to participate in this kind of report meeting?
Jingda-Lu Ping: [@-, don't forget, kid, I'm sitting on the same plane with you right now.]

Another photo from a plane, and also a plane ticket to Saint Petersburg.
There was another question mark in the group, and finally they all said, "You two really deserve to die!"]
Then someone else liked the administrator of their group: [@-, the administrator came out to take charge and banned these two people. They went to the International Congress of Mathematicians without bringing their brothers, and they still show off here. How abominable!]
As a result, this person was banned.
Qinghua-Jiang Long: [Photo. jpg]
Qinghua-Jiang Long: [I'm sorry, I'm on this plane right now. If you scold them, you're scolding me.]
[Dogs cannot be managed in the house!]*n.
Then Jiang Long began to use the big muting technique, muting these people one by one for one minute.
However, seeing so many of them actually going to Saint Petersburg, and all of them on the same plane, also aroused many people's inquiries.
Finally, they learned that it was the School of Mathematics at Peking University and Qinghua University that had specially organized this trip. Students who wanted to participate could sign up. Of course, they still had to pay for the trip themselves. The school was mainly responsible for leading the trip.
In fact, every time International Congress of Mathematicians is held, schools like Beijing University Qinghua will lead teams there. It is not because of Xiao Yi's report that this event was organized.
However, the reason why so many of them are willing to spend money to go is because of Xiao Yi's report.
Although it will take almost 10 days, the round-trip air tickets and accommodation will cost at least several thousand dollars, but considering that you can participate in such a historic meeting, it is all worth it.
For a time, people from other schools in Joint Examination Group expressed their envy.
[Damn it, is this the treatment of Beijing University Qinghua University?]
However, at this time, there are still masters appearing.
USTC-Ye Cheng: [What do you think this is? If the students in our class want to go, they can go without spending a dime! All contracted!]
This made other people in the group even more upset: [Huh? Why?]
USTC-Ye Cheng: [Brother Xiao paid for it and contracted it for us! #proud]
Later, other people in the group USTC appeared one after another, admitted the incident, and showed their tickets.
Now, even the students from Beijing University and Qinghua University are envious.
Beijing University-Lu Ping: [Damn it, you still deserve to die!]
Beijing University-Chen Muhua: [@USTC-Xiao Yi, Scholar Xiao, wuwuwu, why are you not from our Beijing University~]
USTC-Ye Cheng: [Sorry, Brother Xiao is our USTC person, USTC soul, so don't worry about us Brother Xiao.]
USTC-Ye Cheng: [@USTC-Xiao Yi, Brother Xiao, be sure to wait for brothers at Saint Petersburg!]
Beijing University-Chen Muhua: [Look, Brother Xiao ignores you, you are useless]
USTC-Ye Cheng: [That's because Brother Xiao has many things to do and is busy with business, so it's normal not to reply]
Beijing University-Chen Muhua: [Clam]
USTC-Ye Cheng: [Urgent]
Xiao Yi rarely appears in this group anymore. Most of the time it is because there is really no time to join the group and there is no time to see what they are talking about in the group. However, in the group, Scholar Xiao already has the baggage of being an idol.
Just when they thought Xiao Yi would not appear this time as usual, Xiao Yi actually replied.
USTC-Xiao Yi: [Thank you for the invitation. I am at Saint Petersburg. I just got off the plane.]
Then he added a photo, and he was surrounded by a bunch of foreign faces.
If you compare these faces with the members of the organizing committee and the members of the International Mathematical Union board of directors on the official website of this conference, you will find that most of them can match. For example, the chairman of the organizing committee of this conference Berezovsky is here, and the secretary-general of International Mathematical Union Martin Gretsch is also here.
In addition, some famous scholars in Russian mathematics also came.
These people were naturally here to pick up Xiao Yi.
Since he announced that he had proved the mass gap problem, this is his first public appearance in front of the international mathematics community.
A large number of media were surrounding him, and photographers held up their cameras to capture the scene of him getting off the plane.
"Hello Xiao Yi, I am Berezovsky. I am very happy to meet you. I would like to welcome you on behalf of the International Congress of Mathematicians organizing committee."
"Saint Petersburg is the holy land of mathematics in Russia. It has always been looking forward to the arrival of you, a great mathematician."
As Xiao Yi got off the plane, Berezovsky stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand to Xiao Yi to express his welcome.
Xiao Yi also put down his mobile phone, nodded to Chairman of the Organizing Committee, and shook hands with him. "Mr. Chairman, I am also very happy to see you. I have also longed for Saint Petersburg for a long time. I believe I will have a good experience this time."
"I promise." Berezovsky smiled and patted the back of Xiao Yi's hand, and then began to introduce him to other people next to him, such as the secretary-general of International Mathematical Union, and others.
After getting to know each other, Berezovsky said to Xiao Yi, "We have arranged a room for you at Parklane Hotel near the EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Center. You can stay there during the period of the conference. Let's go there now."
Xiao Yi nodded. "Okay."
Then he said no more, got on the special car arranged by the organizing committee, and went directly to Parklane Hotel.
Sitting in the car, I took out my phone and took a look inside Joint Examination Group. His appearance just now obviously made the students in this group extremely excited, causing more divers to come out.
Now everyone is asking him about the situation here, and many people wish him a complete success in his report in a few days.
Smiling slightly, he then sent another message in the group: [Thank you for your blessings. Everyone can pay attention to the report in three days. Brothers will not be disappointed!]
Then, there was another burst of excitement in the group.
They all said: [In the future, we can go out and brag that Scholar Xiao is our brother!]
Seeing their excitement, Xiao Yi waved his hand and distributed red envelopes worth 10,000 yuan directly to the group when he was happy, which caused a lot of looting in the group.
Looking at the heated group chat, he smiled, finally closed his phone, closed his eyes, and began to relieve the fatigue caused by the almost nine-hour flight.
As for the 10,000 yuan he spent casually, he didn't care at all.
Nowadays, as Yishui Bit gradually dominates half of the Bitcoin mining software market, according to a report issued by JPMorgan Chase some time ago, the market valuation of Yishui Bit software has reached 1 billion U. S. dollars, which is more than 6 billion when converted into RMB, making it a proper unicorn enterprise.
Therefore, money has gradually lost its meaning to him, and he has inadvertently achieved financial freedom.
Unless he wants to build something outrageous like a private particle accelerator.
This incident has spread throughout the business circle, and it has also caused a discussion in society about whether studying well can help one get ahead.
Nowadays, whenever someone makes a statement such as "What's the use of studying well, it's not to work for those who can't study well", countless netizens will definitely use Xiao Yi as an example to besiege them.
Although there are many academic giants who are quite wealthy, none of them are as representative as Xiao Yi, who is a top scientist and the founder of a unicorn company.
When a successful master comes, you have to call him master.
His family has also moved into the mansion they bought at Emerald Court last year and is gradually getting used to today's life.
In general, there are no "mundane things" that Xiao Yi can care about now.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs has reached the last level and will continue on this level indefinitely.
Just like now, his purpose is to let the academic community know that the Yang-Mills existence and quality gap problem has been solved by him, and to let everyone know how he proved it - well, the second purpose is still a bit too difficult. He can almost expect that in a short period of time, there will be no more than 10 people in the world who can understand his report, so it is enough to complete the first purpose.
Without thinking any more, he entered a meditative state.
The motorcade drove smoothly under the midday sun, gradually heading towards the city on the other side of the horizon.
The report meeting has also entered the final countdown...
Mathematics and physics scholars from all over the world gradually gathered in the city of Saint Petersburg.
This city plays a very important role in the history of mathematics.
Leonhard Euler once studied Goldbach Conjecture here; Daniel Bernoulli created his "Principles of Fluid Mechanics" here, and Bernoulli's principle later became the principle that allows airplanes to fly.
In the future, there will be quite a few Russian Fields Medal winners who also came from Saint Petersburg. At the beginning of the 21st century, when Millennium Prize Problems was first proposed, it was not even two years old. At that time, a sloppy scholar named Gregory Perelman who lived in Saint Petersburg used two papers published on arxiv to prove that Poincaré Conjecture...
The history of mathematics of Saint Petersburg is most of the history of mathematics in Russia.
And now, another Millennium Prize Problems will be proven here.
While people are feeling emotional, they are also looking forward to it more and more.
Until the day of July 6th arrives.
At nine o'clock in the morning, people were already coming and going outside the EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Center.
Participants had already formed a long queue, waiting to enter.
According to the data released on the official website, this conference attracted more than 7,000 people to participate, which is definitely the most in history. Of course, it was mainly because of the participation of many Theoretical Physicists. CERN next door, which itself has thousands of Theoretical Physicists working permanently, also gave their scholars several days of leave to allow them to attend this conference and witness the proof of the quality gap problem.
This is also a test for the coordination ability of the organizing committee of this conference. For example, in their EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Center, the largest conference hall No. 1 has a standard capacity of 4,000 people. Now, in order to ensure that more than 7,000 participants can be accommodated, the site must be re-arranged.
For the conference organizing committee, this is probably both painful and happy.
"Wori, there are so many people."
In a certain queue, there were quite a few Chinese faces. Looking at the scene, they couldn't help showing expressions of wonder.
This group of people are students from several major universities in China.
Chen Muhua said with emotion, "You are truly worthy of being Scholar Xiao!"
And standing behind him was Ye Cheng, and he said, "After all, it's me, Brother Xiao."
Lu Ping was still standing next to him. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Okay, don't forget that when Scholar Xiao proved Goldbach Conjecture, Great Hall of the People had an audience of more than 10,000 people. Now it's only more than 7,000 people. It's a small scene."
"That's it?" Chen Muhua rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Although there are not 10,000 people, more than 7,000 people can still be considered a small event? Are you going to try it?"
Lu Ping said sternly, "I can have sex with you."
Ye Cheng: "Nan Bang, if you can get 100 people to watch it, it will be considered good."
"What the hell..."
They immediately started fighting.
We used to quarrel in the group, but now we finally meet offline, and it's time for a real-person PK.
Just like when they met yesterday, the dog manager Jiang Long had already been severely beaten.
But not long after they started fighting, there was a sudden noise from the crowd, and everyone looked in a certain direction.
Ye Cheng They were also attracted to attention. They looked over and opened their eyes wide. "I am super! Scholar Xiao!"
I saw Xiao Yi walking towards this side surrounded by a group of organizing committee members.
Apparently he just came from the hotel.
People at the scene shouted to Xiao Yi.
And Ye Cheng and the others are naturally among them.
Probably because they all shouted in Chinese, and they all shouted nicknames such as "Scholar Xiao" and "Brother Xiao", so Xiao Yi also turned his head and noticed them, then smiled and nodded at them and said hello.
Ye Cheng They suddenly felt like they were chasing stars and succeeding.
When the foreigners around saw that their shouting attracted Xiao Yi's attention, they couldn't help but ask, "Isn't his name 'Xiao Yi'? Why did he respond when you called him 'Xiao Shen' or 'Brother'?"
Ye Cheng They laughed, "You can try calling him like this, maybe he will respond?"
So these foreigners shouted in strange accents.
As a result, Xiao Yi actually looked over, which made these foreigners excited and confirmed one thing. Xiao Yi may have multiple names, and maybe "Xiao Yi" is just his stage name.
Xiao Yi probably didn't expect that such a rumor would spread about him in the future.
At this time, he had directly entered the venue under the leadership of Berezovsky and the others.
Of course, there is no need to queue.
Who has ever seen a reporter have to queue up to give his report?
As Xiao Yi entered the venue, people outside also recovered from their excitement and continued to line up to enter.
However, they were looking forward to this report even more.
Time passed quickly.
In Hall No. 1, after some decoration, the number of seats has been expanded from more than 4,000 to more than 7,000.
It seemed to be quite crowded. As more and more people entered the venue, it felt more like a sea of people.
However, the people who had already arrived at the scene did not feel irritated by the crowding. At this time, they were only looking forward to 10 o'clock, when the report meeting officially started.
Just like that, the hour hand finally pointed to the number 10.
The lights on the rostrum in the lecture hall lit up, attracting everyone's attention. They looked over and saw Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Berezovsky walking out.
No one was surprised. As this report was the first event of this mathematician conference, even the opening ceremony was postponed until tonight. Berezovsky had to come out to meet people first.
He stood in the middle, first bowed slightly to everyone present, and then said, "Dear guests who have come from afar, welcome to Saint Petersburg to participate in the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2022. I am Chairman of the Organizing Committee, Berezovsky of the conference."
"For reasons that everyone knows, this time that was supposed to be the opening ceremony, used to announce the Fields Medal, Gauss Prize and other awards that everyone is concerned about, has now turned into an academic seminar."
"However, I think everyone's attention to this report is probably no less than to the winner of Fields Medal."
"The topic of today's report, the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap problem, is one of the two most important unsolved problems in mathematical physics. The other one is the well-known existence and smoothness problem of the solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation."
"If the answer to the latter is the last question in the classical physics system, then the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap issues will be the most concerned issues in the quantum physics system."
"It not only involves the most cutting-edge theory in physics Quantum Field Theory, but also relates to the fundamental nature of the strong interaction force among the four fundamental forces. Although physicists have experimentally proven the existence of the mass gap, how to prove this problem mathematically is still an extremely difficult problem. The mathematical community believes that only more complex mathematical tools can achieve this for us."
"Today, the speaker of this lecture will bring his new mathematical tools to introduce to us how the mass gap exists from a mathematical explanation in the strong interaction force!"
"Then, let us welcome Xiao Yi!"
Amid the applause of the audience, Xiao Yi walked out from the backstage and appeared in front of more than 7,000 viewers.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."
Xiao Yi nodded to Berezovsky, who also applauded, smiled and nodded to him, then left the rostrum, walked to the audience, and sat in his seat.
On the stage, Xiao Yi was the only one left again.
He faced the more than seven thousand pairs of eyes in front of him and smiled softly.
If he had faced more than 10,000 pairs of eyes at Great Hall of the People, he might still be a little nervous in his heart.
So now, [Ruthless Continuous Study] BUFF has been upgraded to level 5. He has no fluctuations in the scene in front of him.
Listen to the truth.
Bowed slightly.
As the applause gradually subsided, he said, "Hello everyone, today is July 6th."
"It has been a few days since I came to Saint Petersburg. It happens that this period of time is also the time when the White Nights phenomenon appeared. Maybe these two days of bright nights have left a lot of impressions on everyone."
"And for me, who has never seen White Nights, the same is true."
"Goethe said that in this world, there are two things worth looking up to throughout our lives: the starry sky above our heads and the morality in people's hearts."
"Now that I see the light in the sky that seems to never end, I think what Goethe said is right."
The chat-like beginning attracted people's attention, and this period is indeed the day that Saint Petersburg belongs to the city of White Nights every year.
At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly changed the subject. "However, for us scientists, these things are too romantic."
"The creed of science is every tested theory, every law summarized, and every recognized theorem."
"Therefore, all truth is what we look up to the most."
"Today, what I want to bring to you is a new truth."
"Of course, it also needs to be inspected and approved by everyone."
"Then let's get started."
Xiao Yi snapped his fingers, and the subject of the report appeared on the multimedia screen.
[There is a strictly positive mass gap in Yang-Mills theory.]
And he also began to explain the proof process.
