"Tell me about your son. He won the award. This is an honor. Why do you only care about the bonus? It's vulgar."

As soon as Wang Qiuyue finished asking her question and Zhao Xiancai hadn't even opened his mouth yet, Zhao Aizhong started his daily exchange of words with his wife.

"When my son got those bonuses before, I don't know who was so happy that he jumped up with joy, but now he has the nerve to blame me."

After hearing what her husband said, Wang Qiuyue also stood up and prepared to start.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, stop making trouble, my son is still here."

Seeing that his wife wanted to take action, Zhao Aizhong quickly pulled Zhao Xiancai out as a shield, and turned to Zhao Xiancai and asked, "How much is the bonus?"

Seeing his father and mother "loving each other" like this, Zhao Xiancai felt that it was a bit redundant for him to come back.

However, after his father asked, Zhao Xiancai also replied: "It is the Crafford Prize established by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and the prize is US$500,000."

"500,000 U.S. dollars? If converted into domestic currency, this would be 3.5 million, right?"

After hearing what Zhao Xiancai said, Wang Qiuyue and Zhao Aizhong both looked at him and said with surprise.

My sons have won several awards at home and abroad, and they now have a general understanding of the ratio between the domestic currency and the US dollar.

"According to the current exchange rate, there is not 3.5 million, but it is more than 3 million."

Zhao Xiancai explained.

"But what kind of award is the Crawford Award? How does it compare with the awards you won before?"

"It's the Crafford Award. It's transliterated anyway. You can say it however you like.

This Crafford Award is..."

After the two of them talked to Zhao Xiancai for a few words about the bonus, they began to ask about the Crafford Award. Zhao Xiancai also introduced the award to them.

Although the TV was still on, no one continued to watch it.

"...So except for the field of arthritis, which will only be awarded when the special committee proves that the progress in this field is worthy of award, the Crafford Prize is usually awarded every year between astronomy and mathematics, earth sciences, and biological sciences.

It is awarded on a rotating basis, once a year, and only in one research area at a time.

The last time the Crafford Prize awarded mathematics and astronomy prizes was in 2016, which was before... No, logically speaking, the prize for mathematics should not be awarded this year?"

While Zhao Xiancai was talking with his parents, he suddenly felt that something was not right.

"It shouldn't be? Didn't this award be given to you? Is it possible that you are a liar?"

Hearing what their son said, Zhao Aizhong and Wang Qiuyue also looked confused.

"I don't know about this either. I'll check their official website. There should be an announcement on their official website soon."

Zhao Xiancai said. After saying this, he hurried back to his room, turned on the computer and quickly clicked on the official website of the Crafford Award.

Since the organizer is the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Crafford Prize, like the Nobel Prize, only calls the winner a few minutes before the award is announced.

Therefore, not long after Zhao Xiancai received the call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the award should be announced there.

After clicking on the official website of the Crafford Prize, Zhao Xiancai refreshed it. Seeing that there was no latest news, he took advantage of this time to look at the Mathematical and Astronomy Prizes of the Crafford Prize.

The last time the Craford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy was awarded was in 2016, when the Mathematics Prize was awarded to Yakov Eliashberg of Stanford University in California, USA, in recognition of his contact and

The development of symplectic topology and the groundbreaking discovery of rigid and flexible phenomena.

The Astronomy Prize was awarded to Roy Kerr of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, and Roger Blandford of Stanford University in California, USA, for their fundamental work on rotating black holes and their astrophysical consequences.

.

"Yakov Eliashberg is one of the leading mathematicians of our time. For more than thirty years, he helped shape and study a field of mathematics known as symplectic geometry, and in particular one of its branches

——symplectic topology.

Yakov Eliashberg solved many of the most important problems in the field and discovered new and surprising results. He further developed the techniques he used in contact geometry, which is a variant of symplectic geometry

Twin theory. Symplectic geometry deals with two-dimensional, four-dimensional or other even-dimensional spaces, while contact theory describes...

Black holes are the source of the universe's most powerful radiation and the source of jets that can stretch thousands of light-years into space. Roger Blandford's theoretical work touches on the violent processes behind these phenomena, and Luo Yin

Roy Kerr laid the foundation for this research early on, when he discovered a mathematical description of a rotating black hole, which became one of the most important theoretical discoveries in modern cosmology.

The prediction of black holes may be one of the strangest results of general relativity. When Albert Einstein in 1915..."

This is the press release about the Crafford Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy from the official website of the 2016 Crafford Prize. The article is not too long, and it only took Zhao Xiancai a few minutes to read it.

After reading the 2016 content and refreshing the webpage, Zhao Xiancai looked at the field of last year's Crafford Award, which was arthritis, and found that there was still no new content.

"Yes, logically speaking, the math prize should not be awarded this year..."

Zhao Xiancai touched his chin with one hand and clicked the mouse again with the other hand to refresh the web page.

"Two legendary climate researchers win this year's Crafford Prize."

"2018 Crafford Prize in Mathematics".

After refreshing the web page this time, two new contents that Zhao Xiancai had not seen before suddenly appeared at the top of the web page.

"Huh?

Actually, two press releases were refreshed at once, and judging from the dates, they were both press releases that had just been issued today.

I really didn’t expect that the Crafford Prize would actually award awards in two fields this year.”

After seeing the press releases of these two titles and the time of their release, Zhao Xiancai immediately understood why he was able to win the Crafford Prize in Mathematics this year.

Looking at the title of the press release "Two legendary climate researchers receive this year's Crafford Prize", Zhao Xiancai knew that it was this year's Crafford Earth Science Prize, which was also an award normally awarded according to previous rules.

The "2018 Crafford Prize in Mathematics" is an award that breaks the previous rules.

"Dad, Mom, that phone call just now was not a lie, I did win an award..."

After seeing the two newly refreshed news releases, Zhao Xiancai did not rush to click on them. Instead, he walked to the living room and explained to his parents what he had just done. Then he returned to the room and continued to check the press releases.

Come.

"Shirō Manabe? Complex climate system?"

After clicking on the press release of the Earth Science Award and taking a look, Zhao Xiancai was a little surprised.
