321: Refusing to accept the award? World public opinion is in uproar!

“This... this...”

Hearing Guo Hao’s words, Ezra was also stunned for a moment.

Clearly, no one had ever asked them this kind of question before!

After all, this was the Wolf Prize!

For all scientists worldwide, it should be an extremely honorable award, and basically everyone rushes to receive it.

Guo Hao was the first scholar Ezra had ever met who asked such a question.

Have someone else accept it???

“I need to inquire... Sorry.”

“Then you go ahead!”

Guo Hao hung up the phone directly.

Ever since going to Europe once, Guo Hao no longer wanted to go abroad. The last time was truly necessary, as he needed to see Professor Grothendieck one last time.

After all, that was a legend in the world of Mathematics!

If he didn't see him again, he wouldn't have another chance in this lifetime.

Therefore, Guo Hao could only go and see him, and accept the award while he was there.

But receiving the award itself, for Guo Hao, actually didn't mean much.

After all, what could an award bring him?

Fame? He was already famous enough, and would definitely become more and more famous in the future. Guo Hao didn't lack this kind of thing.

Profit? The enormous economic benefits brought by the large-scale production of a single superconducting wire were enough to fill everything! Of course, regarding the superconducting wire, Guo Hao was currently unsure about the production volume.

After all, the equipment for producing and preparing this wire was developed by the Energy Bureau.

Although Guo Hao provided a lot of technical support in this process.

But the specific production volume that could be reached was really hard to say, as it hadn't started production yet.

Of course, the most important thing was that the Wolf Prize from Israel only gave about two to three hundred thousand US dollars. This small amount of money was actually no longer really in Guo Hao's eyes.

Just as Guo Hao was pondering.

Ezra called back.

“What? Have you discussed it?”

“Sorry, Professor Guo, I have already consulted with the leader. According to their wishes, if you want to receive the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, you must come to Jerusalem in person. Otherwise, we will award this prize to someone else, or simply leave it vacant.”

Ezra hesitated slightly and said to Guo Hao.

“It doesn't matter.”

Guo Hao smiled.

“Professor Guo, won't you reconsider? It's not difficult for Dragon Country to travel to Jerusalem. As far as I know, you are in Beijing, and Beijing itself has direct flights to Jerusalem.

We can be fully responsible for all your expenses and various itinerary arrangements in Israel.”

Ezra still didn't want to give up.

After all, Guo Hao was currently the most influential figure among young mathematicians in the world. Although he hadn't received the Fields Medal, everyone understood.

The Fields Medal could only be said to have been missed, otherwise with his achievement of solving Goldbachs Conjecture, he would definitely have been able to directly receive the Fields Medal.

Ezra was the person within Israel who most strongly advocated for awarding this prize to Guo Hao.

But unexpectedly, Guo Hao didn't want to come and receive the award at all.

This made Ezra a little awkward.

“It's not that, I am indeed very busy, and currently I don't really have any plans to go abroad.”

Guo Hao said with a smile to Ezra.

“Alright then, I will report your answer truthfully. It's a pity.”

“Okay! Please do as you wish.”

After hanging up the phone, Guo Hao continued to read papers, trying to perform computational modeling for the overall Controlled nuclear fusion project.

Including how much radiation high temperature the inner wall needs to withstand.

The requirements for materials are extremely high.

But just materials are clearly not enough. With any type of material currently known to mankind, it is impossible to withstand temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees. This is simply impossible.

Therefore, a magnetic field is needed to confine the high temperature of hundreds of millions of degrees.

The magnetic field does not directly “block” heat, but rather confines the trajectories of charged particles, keeping them away from the reactor wall, while the first wall will still be exposed to extremely high temperatures.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the first wall has many ways to reduce temperature, and the confinement of heat by the magnetic field is also effective most of the time.

But if the plasma control is not stable enough, the plasma will have intense activity similar to solar flares, with unstable temperatures and rapid heat accumulation in a short period of time.

Extremely high temperatures can potentially directly penetrate the first wall, leading to the melting of the entire core.

Therefore, the magnetic field strength is related to whether this level of temperature can be successfully confined, generally requiring a super strong magnetic field of the level of 3-12 Tesla.

Similarly, the stability of the first wall material, or its high temperature resistance, is also very important.

Establish a magnetic field...

Guo Hao began to calculate.

A trace of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

Just as Guo Hao was seriously building a mathematical model for the magnetic field.

On the other side.

“It is regrettable to inform everyone that we have decided to cancel this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics award because we awarded it to Professor Guo from Dragon Country, but he refused it.

He said that he cannot come to Jerusalem to receive his award, so it is regrettable that this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics will be left vacant.”

Ezra broadcast this news on the news.

As soon as this news came out.

Instantly, the global public opinion was in an uproar.

The first to be impacted was the world of public opinion.

At this time, global public opinion platforms like YouTube and Facebook were the first to react.

“Holy crap! Someone refused the Wolf Prize in Mathematics? That's awesome? That's a hundred thousand US dollars! Not to mention how much honor and prestige this award brings!”

“Indeed, having received such an award, I'm afraid no university in the world would refuse a mathematician of this level!”

“Hehe, I'm afraid this Guo Hao has been placed under house arrest by the Dragon Country government! Forbidden from going abroad! Otherwise, who would give up such an award? It's impossible!”

“I think so too! Isn't the Dragon Country government always like this? Hehe, suppressing geniuses! Always been like this!”

“I still feel a bit regretful. To be honest, Guo Hao is indeed amazing. A young man can actually win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, an award of the nature of a lifetime achievement award.

If he really received this award, then he should be the youngest recipient of this award!”

“Probably so, but it's a pity he was born in Dragon Country!”

...

The world of public opinion was buzzing with discussions, and they began to offer their own conjectures about the news of Guo Hao not going to receive the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. Most people began to use this incident to attack the Dragon Country government.

They believed that it was the Dragon Country government that prevented Guo Hao from receiving the award, and some rumors even began to describe specific events with details.

This matter quickly began to spread to Dragon Country.

“President Huai! President Huai!”

The President's assistant rushed into the office from outside in a panic.

“Didn't I tell you? Don't be so flustered when doing things! What are you doing, being so flustered?”
