320: Wolf Prize in Mathematics

Superconductors?

Guo Hao seemed lost in thought.

If it's a magnetic confinement solution, superconductors might be able to play a sufficiently large role in it. How exactly should it be operated...?

Guo Hao then looked at some current papers on stellarators and Tokamaks from both domestic and international sources.

How should I put it?

Each has its advantages. For Dragon Country currently, it is still more proficient in Tokamaks.

But there is no method that offers absolute certainty in achieving Controlled nuclear fusion.

Perhaps both of them are sufficient to lead to Controlled nuclear fusion, or perhaps the magnetic confinement path is completely unfeasible and inertial confinement is the future. None of this is certain.

He roughly read some papers.

He felt a slight headache.

The difficulty of this thing is much more troublesome than he imagined.

Moreover, there are actually no theoretical problems or difficulties; theoretically, this thing is quite simple.

The real difficulty, on the other hand, lies in engineering.

How to confine temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees? This difficulty surpasses many people's imagination.

Because, normally, temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees are enough to destroy all matter on Earth. You must know that lava is only a few thousand degrees.

The most high-temperature resistant material known to humans can only withstand temperatures of a few thousand degrees.

These things are not on the same order of magnitude compared to temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees. What's more, this kind of confinement doesn't just require instantaneous confinement.

Instead, continuously generated high temperatures need to be confined to make it a stable project that can continuously output energy.

This difficulty...

Guo Hao couldn't help but scratch his head.

Fortunately, the System gave him ten years. If it were just one year, he would have to give up this task immediately.

Even though this task also gave him a chance for brain enhancement.

Honestly, Guo Hao was quite curious.

With his current IQ, how much could his intelligence be enhanced if he underwent brain enhancement again?

After studying papers related to Controlled nuclear fusion all night, it was around 12:30 AM.

Only then did Guo Hao return to bed and fall asleep.

He woke up the next morning.

He ate breakfast and read a book for a while.

After running for a while in the villa area, Guo Hao arrived at school.

He still had classes in the morning.

"For this final exam, all of you performed very poorly. I am very unhappy. Whether you listened to my class or not, you know it yourselves! The makeup exam time is March 2nd.

The makeup exam questions will still be set by me! If you still don't pass, I can give you another chance for a makeup exam! But I hope you can take this matter seriously!"

Guo Hao's expression was very serious.

He understood very well that for college students, if he wasn't strict enough, they were very likely not to take what he said to heart. Therefore, he had to be very strict when talking to them.

After class, Guo Hao stayed in the classroom and didn't rush to leave. Many people came up to ask him questions, and Guo Hao patiently answered them one by one.

In the following period, Guo Hao's life was very regular.

Apart from occasionally visiting Zizhu Mountain Villa, he basically stayed at school at other times, studying some papers on Controlled nuclear fusion, as well as papers on genetics, evolution, and variation in the field of Biology.

Life was very peaceful, and it was even difficult to find any news about Guo Hao on the entire internet.

This continued until mid-March.

Graduate student interviews.

Guo Hao sat in his office.

"Li Na, call the person in!"

Guo Hao said to his assistant, Li Na, who was beside him.

"Okay, Professor."

Soon, Li Na called a male student into the office.

The male student looked very nervous, he was a bit flustered, but his eyes were full of excitement as he looked at Guo Hao beside him.

"Guo Hao! I'm your fan!"

Seeing Guo Hao, the male student said excitedly to Guo Hao.

Hearing the male student's words, a smile appeared on Guo Hao's face.

"Alright, you should still call me Professor Guo. First, introduce yourself."

Guo Hao said with a smile, looking at the male student.

"Okay!"

The male student took a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, and he began to introduce himself.

"My name is Zhao Yuxiang, from the Department of Mathematics at Shui Mu University. I..."

I have to say, those who dared to apply for his graduate program basically had some skills.

After all, he had already filtered them once by score, and they were basically students from prestigious schools.

There were a total of thirty interview slots.

Guo Hao was roughly interested in three or four of the students.

Pulling out their resumes, a hint of contemplation appeared in Guo Hao's eyes. These students were all good.

"Li Na, make a note. Zhao Yuxiang, Hua Yuxin, Wang Han, I've admitted these three people!"

"Okay."

Li Na nodded.

These three people's academic performance was already very good, which was beyond doubt. For Guo Hao, the most crucial thing was their sensitivity to Mathematics, especially mathematical modeling itself, which made Guo Hao feel a little surprised.

These were the kind of students Guo Hao needed!

The essence of Computational Materials Science is to first work on theory, and after confirming that the theory is valid, then conduct experiments.

Experiments can be taught; just let Senior Brother Zhao Yang teach them, which is not difficult.

The difficulty lies in theory, how to closely integrate Mathematics and Materials Science.

As for the Dr. program, admission was even simpler.

From the thirty filtered resumes, Guo Hao only admitted two Dr. candidates.

They were all Dragon Country citizens. It wasn't that he discriminated against students from outside Dragon Country.

It was mainly because he preferred Dragon Country citizens, that's all.

After finishing the admission work for graduate and Dr. students.

Guo Hao's main energy was almost entirely focused on the research of Controlled nuclear fusion. Based on the current data and his superconductor data, he began to build data models for confining hundreds of millions of degrees of high temperature in Controlled nuclear fusion.

This was destined to be an extremely difficult process.

And at this very moment.

A call came to Guo Hao's phone.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Professor Guo Hao?"

"It's me, what's up?"

"I am Ezra, an official from the Ministry of Culture of Israel. I am very pleased to inform you that because you solved the Waring's problem and Goldbachs Conjecture, we have decided to award you the 2014 Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Please come to Jerusalem in July this year to receive it. Thank you for your significant contributions to the world of Mathematics!"

Hearing this voice, Guo Hao was slightly stunned.

Wolf Prize in Mathematics??

One of the three major awards in the Academic Circle of Mathematics?

An award almost on par with the Fields Medal, leaning more towards a lifetime achievement award?

He didn't expect to receive this award at the age of his early twenties.

"Then, if I cannot go to Jerusalem, can someone else receive it on my behalf?"

At this moment, Guo Hao suddenly thought of something and asked Ezra.
