Acceptance speech
Standing on the award podium, facing the solemn venue, Professor Carlson paused for a moment and then continued in a solemn tone.
"Whether it is natural science or applied technology, no matter which one it is, mathematics is inseparable."
"On this road full of thorns, we have gained a lot. As Professor Lu Zhou's work revealed to us, we know the mystery of the zero-point distribution of the Riemann function and the profound mathematical meaning behind it - 'the unity of geometry and algebra' '. The birth of this theory restructured algebraic geometry after the millennium, and even redefined our understanding of numbers and geometric figures."
He felt that there was probably no one more humble than himself in the world.
Before the millennium, this place was once the center of mathematics in Europe and even the world, and it was the dream of countless mathematicians to be able to give lectures here.
"Twenty-three years ago at a conference in Paris, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced prizes for seven of the world's most famous puzzles. Although we don't need those, and it doesn't make real mathematics Students are more excited about math performance."

"Whether it's true love or for the one million prize."
“What we can see is often not as easy to understand as we think, just like the theorems we all know. Behind each theorem is centuries of hard work and effort, as well as the efforts of countless generations of scholars. Our discipline is progressing through this bit by bit accumulation.”
"On the contrary, it records for our descendants the great unsolved questions of the twentieth century. Its role is also to generate more enthusiasm for mathematics in the non-mathematical world. What is special is that it has always served as a beacon. responsibility to engage young people, children and students with an interest in evolving mathematics and mathematics-related issues."
"Me? I will throw you two big prime numbers first... Of course, not directly to you, but multiply them together. If you can solve it, at least... you won't be your lunch tomorrow."
Especially Professor Helfgott, who works at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
"oh?"
"Have you discovered aliens?"
"Whether it's true love or for the one million prize."
"Niels Henrik Abel once wrote in his memoirs that in order to solve a difficult problem, you must first express it correctly..."

"The key to communication between two civilizations is to find a common language, just like the cup in my hand. If they don't use the cup as a container and don't drink, then communication can't begin." Helfgott put down the wine glass in his hand. The professor thought seriously for a while and continued, "Science is a means to solve the problems we face. The problems we face may be different, but one thing should be the same, and that is the tool for studying science."
Because it was the award ceremony for the Riemann Hypothesis, almost all the top scholars in the French mathematics community, as well as members of major mathematics organizations, were invited to stand here.

Having said this, Professor Helfgott paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and continued.
Helfgott leaned back in his chair and said with a smile.
Helfgott: "Then? Use the distance between us to unify weights and measures? And then the periodic table of elements? How to do it specifically? This is a systematic subject. I remember it is called cosmic linguistics. The Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris seems to be Someone is working on this, but I’m not very familiar with the professor…”
The spacious auditorium seemed a bit crowded.
"Twenty-three years ago at a conference in Paris, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced prizes for seven of the world's most famous puzzles. Although we don't need those, and it doesn't make real mathematics Students are more excited about math performance."
Having finally completed this arduous task, Professor Carlson showed an expression of relief on his face.
"Whether it's true love or for the one million prize."
When they met this time, Professor Helfgott was very enthusiastic and chatted with Lu Zhou for a long time. Lu Zhou also learned a lot about Professor Grothendieck's life from him, as well as some rumors about Professor Abel.
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
Before the millennium, this place was once the center of mathematics in Europe and even the world, and it was the dream of countless mathematicians to be able to give lectures here.
Holding Lu Zhou's hand tightly, Professor Carlson said excitedly.
Because it was the award ceremony for the Riemann Hypothesis, almost all the top scholars in the French mathematics community, as well as members of major mathematics organizations, were invited to stand here.
"If communication has to happen at the first moment of contact... I think it's math."
Of course it's good to have money.
"oh?"
"Thank you for the compliment, but writing science fiction novels is not as interesting as studying mathematics. I'd better leave the opportunity to others!"
Helfgott laughed.
"As for my thoughts... I think I already said it last time, so it should be the same as last time."
"How is it possible? Isn't this a hypothesis? Why do you think I have discovered it?"
Especially Professor Helfgott, who works at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
Before the millennium, this place was once the center of mathematics in Europe and even the world, and it was the dream of countless mathematicians to be able to give lectures here.
"To be honest, you can use your imagination to write science fiction novels."

Helfgott laughed.
Even today, this glory has long withered due to the overall decline of the European mathematics community, and many things have not changed.

He felt that there was probably no one more humble than himself in the world.
Helfgott said with a smile: "Because every time a problem is raised by you, it seems that you have already solved half of the problem. You are a person who will not leave opportunities to others, I say Right?"

It was obviously a gift of money, and there was a grand prize of one million, but it turned out that it was harder to find the winners one by one.

Professor Helfgott was stunned for a moment and gave Lu Zhou a strange look.
Looking at Lu Zhou with an embarrassed smile on his face, Helfgott smiled and took a sip of red wine. After pondering for a while, he returned to the interesting question from before.
"Have you discovered aliens?"
“So I thought, it would be math.”
Before the millennium, this place was once the center of mathematics in Europe and even the world, and it was the dream of countless mathematicians to be able to give lectures here.
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"…especially, the correct formulaic expression."

This Peruvian-French number theorist provided him with a lot of help when he studied Goldbach's conjecture. In particular, the proof of the weak Goldbach conjecture provided him with a lot of inspiration when integrating the two mathematical tools of the sieve method and the circle method.
After hearing Professor Carlson's words, Lu Zhou thought seriously for a while, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Thanks."
"Do you have any acceptance speech? Just tell me your thoughts."
"On this road full of thorns, we have gained a lot.

The birth of this theory restructured algebraic geometry after the millennium, and even redefined our understanding of numbers and geometric figures."
Pouring himself another glass of champagne, Lu Zhou smiled and said in a casual tone: "If there are aliens in this universe... Of course, I mean if. When the species are completely different and difficult to contact directly, we How to establish good communication relationships with them.”
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
"Perhaps, it may take us decades, or even more, to build a new building on the land he opened up. But we have already taken the first step to the new world. I believe there will always be someone who can take our place. We see that day."
"Have you discovered aliens?"
Although in his own opinion, those results were obtained by him after a lot of effort, in the eyes of others, those mathematical propositions that were originally statistically difficult with a year as a period were replaced by his own results in a few months or even a few years. It was done in a week, which does sound like an exaggeration.

The lengthy award speech was finally finished.
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with interest.
"Let's make a hypothesis."
Standing on the award podium, facing the solemn venue, Professor Carlson paused for a moment and then continued in a solemn tone.
What a coincidence, they thought of it together.
Helfgott laughed.
What a coincidence, they thought of it together.
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
During the dinner, Lu Zhou met many old friends whom he had not seen for a long time.
The elderly Professor Carlson bowed slightly, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Especially Professor Helfgott, who works at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
"Thanks."
Have it
…
He felt that there was probably no one more humble than himself in the world.
“So I thought, it would be math.”
"Thanks."
Amidst the applause, Lu Zhou walked to the stage from the side and took the one million dollar check from Professor Carlson. He showed a smile that met the other person's expectations and shook his hand politely. shake hands.
Lu Zhou: "Then if you were that alien and you wanted to discuss with me what to eat for lunch tomorrow, what would you do?"
Professor Helfgott was stunned for a moment and gave Lu Zhou a strange look.
He felt that there was probably no one more humble than himself in the world.
"In short, I think if we can achieve basic communication, everything will not be a problem. Maybe after we are sure that we are not each other's lunch, we can exchange international students. Once the cultural exchange begins, we will soon be able to understand each other."

Seeing his old face that was gradually turning red due to increased blood pressure, and his expression that wanted to hit someone but still wanted to smile, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the applause was loud enough, and he had not been close to the microphone before. …
"If communication has to happen at the first moment of contact... I think it's math."
Since the solution of Goldbach's conjecture, Lu Zhou has rarely published articles in the field of number theory, so the two have not communicated for several years. However, although they meet less, the friendship between the two is still there.

"Thank you for the compliment, but writing science fiction novels is not as interesting as studying mathematics. I'd better leave the opportunity to others!"
The elderly Professor Carlson bowed slightly, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
What a coincidence, they thought of it together.
"oh?"
What a coincidence, they thought of it together.
"Niels Henrik Abel once wrote in his memoirs that in order to solve a difficult problem, you must first express it correctly..."
"Have you discovered aliens?"
The lengthy award speech was finally finished.
"The key to communication between two civilizations is to find a common language, just like the cup in my hand. If they don't use the cup as a container and don't drink, then communication can't begin." Helfgott put down the wine glass in his hand. The professor thought seriously for a while and continued, "Science is a means to solve the problems we face. The problems we face may be different, but one thing should be the same, and that is the tool for studying science."
"That's an interesting statement." Amused by the humorous statement, Lu Zhou smiled and continued to ask, "Then what?"
"In short, I think if we can achieve basic communication, everything will not be a problem. Maybe after we are sure that we are not each other's lunch, we can exchange international students. Once the cultural exchange begins, we will soon be able to understand each other."
Pouring himself another glass of champagne, Lu Zhou smiled and said in a casual tone: "If there are aliens in this universe... Of course, I mean if. When the species are completely different and difficult to contact directly, we How to establish good communication relationships with them.”
Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Having finally completed this arduous task, Professor Carlson showed an expression of relief on his face.
Even today, this glory has long withered due to the overall decline of the European mathematics community, and many things have not changed.
"Thank you for the compliment, but writing science fiction novels is not as interesting as studying mathematics. I'd better leave the opportunity to others!"
"As for my thoughts... I think I already said it last time, so it should be the same as last time."
"How is it possible? Isn't this a hypothesis? Why do you think I have discovered it?"
Standing on the award podium, facing the solemn venue, Professor Carlson paused for a moment and then continued in a solemn tone.

The professor thought seriously for a while and continued, "Science is a means to solve the problems we face. The problems we face may be different, but one thing should be the same, and that is the tool for studying science."
Helfgott said with a smile: "Because every time a problem is raised by you, it seems that you have already solved half of the problem. You are a person who will not leave opportunities to others, I say Right?"
He felt that there was probably no one more humble than himself in the world.
Because it was the award ceremony for the Riemann Hypothesis, almost all the top scholars in the French mathematics community, as well as members of major mathematics organizations, were invited to stand here.
Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with interest.
Lu Zhou: "Then if you were that alien and you wanted to discuss with me what to eat for lunch tomorrow, what would you do?"

After hearing Professor Carlson's words, Lu Zhou thought seriously for a while, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"How is it possible? Isn't this a hypothesis? Why do you think I have discovered it?"
Well
Helfgott: "What if?"
After hearing Professor Carlson's words, Lu Zhou thought seriously for a while, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
The elderly Professor Carlson bowed slightly, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"To be honest, you can use your imagination to write science fiction novels."
Acceptance speech
Helfgott leaned back in his chair and said with a smile.

"Niels Henrik Abel once wrote in his memoirs that in order to solve a difficult problem, you must first express it correctly..."
Helfgott: "What if?"
In the evening, also in the banquet hall of the Collège de France, the French Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute jointly hosted a dinner. Regardless of whether they were present at the award ceremony during the day or not, this banquet was not missed by almost all respectable mathematicians in Paris.
Lu Zhou thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.
"The key to communication between two civilizations is to find a common language, just like the cup in my hand. If they don't use the cup as a container and don't drink, then communication can't begin." Helfgott put down the wine glass in his hand.

The problems we face may be different, but one thing should be the same, and that is the tool for studying science."
“So I thought, it would be math.”
Although in his own opinion, those results were obtained by him after a lot of effort, in the eyes of others, those mathematical propositions that were originally statistically difficult with a year as a period were replaced by his own results in a few months or even a few years. It was done in a week, which does sound like an exaggeration.

Lu Zhou: "Then if you were that alien and you wanted to discuss with me what to eat for lunch tomorrow, what would you do?"
Drowned in the applause, it seemed that only Professor Carlson heard this sentence.

During the dinner, Lu Zhou met many old friends whom he had not seen for a long time.
"In short, I think if we can achieve basic communication, everything will not be a problem. Maybe after we are sure that we are not each other's lunch, we can exchange international students. Once the cultural exchange begins, we will soon be able to understand each other."
Looking at Lu Zhou with an embarrassed smile on his face, Helfgott smiled and took a sip of red wine. After pondering for a while, he returned to the interesting question from before.
After hearing Professor Carlson's words, Lu Zhou thought seriously for a while, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
…
Lu Zhou: "Then if you were that alien and you wanted to discuss with me what to eat for lunch tomorrow, what would you do?"
"Do you have any acceptance speech? Just tell me your thoughts."
"If communication has to happen at the first moment of contact... I think it's math."
Professor Helfgott was stunned for a moment and gave Lu Zhou a strange look.
"Twenty-three years ago at a conference in Paris, the Clay Mathematics Institute announced prizes for seven of the world's most famous puzzles. Although we don't need those, and it doesn't make real mathematics Students are more excited about math performance."
"Thanks."
Seeing his old face that was gradually turning red due to increased blood pressure, and his expression that wanted to hit someone but still wanted to smile, Lu Zhou suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, the applause was loud enough, and he had not been close to the microphone before. …

Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows with interest.
"On this road full of thorns, we have gained a lot. As Professor Lu Zhou's work revealed to us, we know the mystery of the zero-point distribution of the Riemann function and the profound mathematical meaning behind it - 'the unity of geometry and algebra' '. The birth of this theory restructured algebraic geometry after the millennium, and even redefined our understanding of numbers and geometric figures."
"In short, I think if we can achieve basic communication, everything will not be a problem. Maybe after we are sure that we are not each other's lunch, we can exchange international students. Once the cultural exchange begins, we will soon be able to understand each other."
…
The spacious auditorium seemed a bit crowded.
Pouring himself another glass of champagne, Lu Zhou smiled and said in a casual tone: "If there are aliens in this universe... Of course, I mean if. When the species are completely different and difficult to contact directly, we How to establish good communication relationships with them.”
Helfgott: "Then? Use the distance between us to unify weights and measures? And then the periodic table of elements? How to do it specifically? This is a systematic subject. I remember it is called cosmic linguistics. The Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris seems to be Someone is working on this, but I’m not very familiar with the professor…”
"As for my thoughts... I think I already said it last time, so it should be the same as last time."
"oh?"
"To be honest, you can use your imagination to write science fiction novels."
"Whether it is natural science or applied technology, no matter which one it is, mathematics is inseparable."
Helfgott laughed.
Collège de France.
"As for my thoughts... I think I already said it last time, so it should be the same as last time."
Since the solution of Goldbach's conjecture, Lu Zhou has rarely published articles in the field of number theory, so the two have not communicated for several years. However, although they meet less, the friendship between the two is still there.
"oh?"
What a coincidence, they thought of it together.
Especially Professor Helfgott, who works at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.
Having finally completed this arduous task, Professor Carlson showed an expression of relief on his face.

Amidst the applause, Lu Zhou walked to the stage from the side and took the one million dollar check from Professor Carlson. He showed a smile that met the other person's expectations and shook his hand politely. shake hands.
Helfgott laughed.
Having said this, Professor Helfgott paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and continued.

Of course it's good to have money.

"Me? I will throw you two big prime numbers first... Of course, not directly to you, but multiply them together. If you can solve it, at least... you won't be your lunch tomorrow."
"… To Langton Clay and his wife Lavinia Clay, to the Clay family, to the members of the Riemann family, and to all the mathematicians who have come to this historic occasion."

When they met this time, Professor Helfgott was very enthusiastic and chatted with Lu Zhou for a long time. Lu Zhou also learned a lot about Professor Grothendieck's life from him, as well as some rumors about Professor Abel.
"In short, I think if we can achieve basic communication, everything will not be a problem. Maybe after we are sure that we are not each other's lunch, we can exchange international students. Once the cultural exchange begins, we will soon be able to understand each other."
Having said this, Professor Helfgott paused for a moment, shrugged his shoulders, and continued.
"Perhaps, it may take us decades, or even more, to build a new building on the land he opened up. But we have already taken the first step to the new world. I believe there will always be someone who can take our place. We see that day."
"If communication has to happen at the first moment of contact... I think it's math."
"Let's make a hypothesis."
In the evening, also in the banquet hall of the Collège de France, the French Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute jointly hosted a dinner. Regardless of whether they were present at the award ceremony during the day or not, this banquet was not missed by almost all respectable mathematicians in Paris.
Drowned in the applause, it seemed that only Professor Carlson heard this sentence.
"How is it possible? Isn't this a hypothesis? Why do you think I have discovered it?"
"And I think optimistically, if they decide to contact us and find us proactively, they probably already know us to a certain extent, and may even have been observing us for a while. Whether it is an electromagnetic wave signal, or they have received something we sent Postcards, if they really plan to communicate with us, they will definitely think of a way."
Helfgott leaned back in his chair and said with a smile.
