505 Award Ceremony; IN Physics Research Institute! (2)
After saying that, he walked out of the auditorium.
Only Wittens and the crowd were left, looking at each other in dismay.
He left?
He received a medal and a certificate…
Then, he left?
Should he not be emotional and sigh for a while longer?
Should he not be giving his blessings to the new mathematicians?
Should he not release new conjectures and new problems?
This…
Lin Fan had left too quickly and too suddenly. For a moment, everyone was unable to react, causing the entire auditorium to fall into a short silence.
After a while, someone said hesitantly, “Is it… over?”
“I… think so?”
After all, the Fields Medal winner had already left.
If this was not the end yet, what was?
Everyone present stared at each other.
They were at a loss.
This was the Fields Medal Award Ceremony!
It ended just like that?
History… They had witnessed it just like that?
Everyone touched their phones and cameras and heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s alright, it’s alright… I took photos and videos to record this scene. It wasn’t a wasted trip.”
When they opened the photos and videos, they were stunned again.
That was because there were no more images of Lin Fan!
…
In fact.
Wittens and the others were not the only ones who were stunned and in disbelief.
Hao Zhiwu, Nie Zhenjiang, Jiang Chaoqun, Liu Qianqian, and the other students were also stunned.
They were Chinese, so they naturally understood what Lin Fan said on stage.
It was also because of this that they were even more stunned.
One had to know…
This was the stage for the Fields Medal!
A simple thank you and he left?
Even when Lin Fan walked out of the auditorium, they had not reacted.
…
Lin Fan casually threw the medal and certificate into his pocket and did not even look at them.
He did not care about the Fields Medal.
Therefore, he was too lazy to say anything.
If it was not for the fact that he had to win an international award for his mission, Lin Fan would not even have thought of winning it.
[Mission: Win five international awards (2/5). Reward: 5 golden packets.]
The last international award was the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award.
This was the Fields Medal.
As long as he won three more international awards, he would be able to complete the mission.
Lin Fan curled his lips and thought, ‘It should be soon.’
He was one step closer to completing the mission, and his mood was much better.
Lin Fan got into the Rolls-Royce and said, “To the IN Physics Institute.”
“Yes, Sir!” the driver said respectfully.
He was a full-time driver at the Shangri-La Hotel and only served the distinguished guests who booked the presidential suite.
On the first day, the driver was very respectful to Lin Fan.
That was because he knew that Lin Fan had booked five presidential suites.
He understood that Lin Fan was an absolute existence.
Today, the driver found out that Lin Fan had become the biggest shareholder of Shangri-La Group.
This made the driver even more respectful toward Lin Fan.
The IN Physics Institute was not too far away from Barney University.
They drove past the clear Seine and the ancient Cathedral of Notre Dame…
Then, they crossed a few streets.
Finally, they arrived in front of a huge building in the suburbs.
This… It was the IN Physics Research Institute!
When the Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, a security guard quickly walked over.
“Hello, may I help you?” he asked in fluent English.
The security guard’s eyes were sharp, and his body was strong.
Obviously, he was not like some security guards who just ate and drank.
Instead, he had real capabilities.
“I have an appointment with Director Jimmy,” Lin Fan said.
When the security guard heard this, his figure became slightly solemn. He then said in Chinese, “Then please contact Director Jimmy.”
It had to be said that the IN Physics Research Institute was indeed extraordinary.
Even the security guards knew Chinese.
Lin Fan nodded. “Okay.”
Then, he dialed Director Jimmy’s number.
After a while, the call was connected, and a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end.
“H-Hello, Professor Lin.”
Yesterday, Lin Fan obtained Jimmy’s contact information through his super smart watch. He had also called him and made an appointment to meet him today.
This was because the IN Physics Institute had multiple versions of the Totamac device.
Obtaining a Totamac device was one of the conditions to complete his mission.
In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Lin Fan came to Barney to receive the award.
As the director of the IN Physics Research Institute, Jimmy had a very high status in the physics academic world. He was not someone that ordinary people could meet.
As for Lin Fan, he was no ordinary person.
Physics and mathematics were inseparable. Just Lin Fan’s answers to Zhou’s Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail’s Conjecture, Hodge’s Conjecture, and Riemann’s Hypothesis were enough for Jimmy to take Lin Fan seriously.
Moreover…
Lin Fan even invented the earthquake prediction device, a high-tech product in the field of physics.
“Director Jimmy, I’m already at the entrance of the IN Physics Research Institute.”
Jimmy was surprised. “Professor Lin, aren’t you receiving the Fields Medal today? It ended so quickly?”
Physics and mathematics were not separated.
If it was not for the fact that he had some matters to attend to in the morning, Jimmy would surely go to witness the grand award ceremony in person.
“Yes,” Lin Fan replied.
“Please wait a moment,” Jimmy said. “I’ll come to the door to pick you up.”
Just as he hung up, Lin Fan’s phone vibrated.
12:00 PM!
The red packets were here!
In his boredom, he clicked on the red packets.
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received one yuan.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received 999 yuan.]
…
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received a random rebate card.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve received five yuan.]
…
This time, Lin Fan received a total of 31,219 yuan.
He naturally did not care about this bit of money.
His gaze immediately fell on the random rebate card.
[Random rebate card: After spending, you’ll receive a random amount of money.]
Lin Fan muttered in his heart, ‘This is similar to the one yuan critical hit card.’
At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz drove out from inside.
“Hello, Professor Lin.” The bald, fair-skinned middle-aged man took the initiative to extend his hand.
“Hello, Director Jimmy.” Lin Fan stretched out his hand.
” I heard that you were very young, but after seeing you today, I’m still shocked.”
He was definitely not complimenting him.
It was the truth.
A scholar’s golden age was 30 to 50 years old.
Lin Fan was only in his 20s. His future achievements were unimaginable!
“Professor Lin, please come in!” Jimmy said.
The IN Physics Institute was involved in the nuclear fusion project.
Ordinary people were not allowed to enter casually.
However, Lin Fan was a mathematician, a great physicist, a great biologist, and a great physicist… He had some special privileges.
The two of them crossed the spacious grassland and walked through the winding green path before arriving in front of a tall building.
“This is the superconductivity physics section of our IN Physics Institute,” Jimmy introduced.
“That’s the power research area…
“The new materials research area is in front…”
Every time he mentioned a place, Jimmy’s tone was filled with pride.
However, Lin Fan was not interested in listening. In fact, he had already lost the intention to continue listening.
He interrupted, “I want to buy one of your IN Physics Institute’s Totamac devices.”
Jimmy was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he laughed. “Professor Lin, you sure like to joke. The Totamac device is not for sale.”
“100 million euros!” Lin Fan acted like he did not hear him and said.
Even though Jimmy was the director of the IN Physics Institute and even though he had handled a large amount of money, his heart could not help but beat faster when he heard the price of 100 million euros.
100 million euros.
This was definitely a terrifying number!
Jimmy swallowed hard and said, “To be honest, I’m very tempted, but I’m just a director. I can’t decide to sell the Totamac device…”
Lin Fan acted like he did not hear anything and said calmly, “200 million euros.”
