183: Chapter 183 Remarks

Chen Youhua finished his final sentence and bowed slightly.

In an instant, the entire Huaxia Hall seemed to have been muted; an absolute silence lasted for nearly half a second.

Then.

"Whoosh!!!!!!!"

Like a flood bursting through a dam with a century of accumulated power, a tsunami of applause suddenly erupted. From the academic giants in the first row to the young students in the last, everyone rose in unison, offering the highest respect to the young conqueror on the podium with sustained and enthusiastic applause.

Camera flashes flickered frantically, enveloping the figure on stage in a brilliant starlight.

Chen Youhua stood on the stage with a smile, looking at the crowd standing for him.

He had already envisioned this scene countless times in his mind, every detail crystal clear.

But when this thunderous applause truly hit his eardrums, and when those top scholars—who could usually only be seen in textbooks and as signatures on papers—sincerely applauded for him at this moment.

An indescribable, burning emotion still surged uncontrollably in his heart; it was the most authentic sense of achievement and excitement belonging to a human being.

But he quickly calmed his mind.

Because this was not the end; it could even be said to be just the beginning.

The following Q&A session would be the true moment to test whether the mathematical edifice he had constructed was indestructible.

The scrutiny and questioning from the world's top scholars would be the true test of whether this report could conclude perfectly.

...

At this moment, the global live stream also reached its climax.

The bullet chat exploded instantly.

"????????"

"Finished? It's finished just like that?"

"Who am I? Where am I? What did I just listen to?"

"Even though I didn't understand a single word, it seems really impressive!"

"I don't get it, but it's awesome! Just clap!"

"Congratulations, God Chen! Witnessing history!"

"Z University is awesome! Rabbit Country's scientific research is awesome! (Voice cracking)"

"High energy alert ahead! The Top Student confusion zone is about to arrive!"

"Where is the Class Representative? Come out and summarize! What exactly was proven?"

Public comments.

"Brain overloading. For three hours, besides recognizing what those mathematical symbols looked like, not a single bit of knowledge entered my head! But why are my tears falling?"

"Congratulations and prosperity! Never mind, just congratulate first! Professor Chen is mighty!"

"Blessings from our Pakistani brothers! Our entire lab in Pakistan is watching! The scientists of our best friend, Rabbit Country, are amazing! We are very happy and proud! Long live China-Pakistan friendship!"

"Blessings from the Polar Bear! Powerful mathematics! Powerful scientists! Respect! Chen, Ura!"

"Although the details await peer review, the logical framework and core ideas of the report are extremely groundbreaking. Congratulations from Germany."

"Yes! It was wonderful! This is the art of mathematics! Bravo!"

The applause below gradually subsided like a receding tide, leaving behind a silent beach and countless pairs of eyes still flashing with the light of thought and shock.

Chen Youhua took a step forward on the podium, his hands lightly pressing on both sides of the lectern, his gaze slowly scanning the faces below.

His eyes were deep, as if they could penetrate time and look into the more distant past and future.

"Thank you, thank you all for the applause."

His voice spread through the venue via the microphone, sounding a bit deeper than when he was giving the report.

"Standing here and completing this report is, for me, not merely an academic presentation."

He paused slightly, his gaze falling on the center of the front row, where Professor Zhang Zhenhua was sitting.

The old man had a few tears in his eyes and was nodding vigorously at him.

An imperceptible, warm curve appeared at the corner of Chen Youhua's mouth.

"I recall a few years ago, in an ordinary laboratory at Z University's School of Life Sciences, I was still racking my brains over how to precisely control the cellular microenvironment within a microfluidic chip.

At that time, my world was very large—large enough to want to explore every mystery of life—and also very small—small enough to only fit a single lab bench and the universe under a microscope."

His words pulled many people's thoughts back to the recent past, to that period of dormancy when he had just begun to show his talent.

"At that time, many people, including my closest friends, kindly reminded me that biology is a bottomless pit.

But I have always believed that the domes of knowledge are interconnected. From the smallest units of life to the grandest laws of the universe, there is a unified logic and beauty waiting for us to discover."

His gaze swept over Wang Zhe and Li Wei; their faces were filled with pride and excitement, as if saying.

"Look, this is the Great God who came out of our lab!"

"Mathematics, especially a core challenge like the Navier-Stokes Equation, has never existed as an isolated ivory tower.

It is the language that describes the operation of the world, the cornerstone for understanding the rushing of fluids, the movement of stars, and even the flow of blood within living organisms."

His voice gradually became more powerful.

"Conquering it is not just to add another medal of honor to the wall, but so that we can more clearly hear the heartbeat of this world.

So that when we face more challenges in the future—be it energy crises, environmental changes, or deep space exploration—we possess more powerful theoretical weapons."

His gaze looked further away, as if he saw Academician Zheng watching from a command center, and saw countless young faces full of desire for science waiting in front of their screens.

"Here, I must thank many people."

His tone was sincere and earnest.

"Thank you to my alma mater, Z University, for providing the free and open academic soil that allowed me to explore across boundaries without any worries."

"Thank you to my mentor, Professor Zhang Zhenhua. It was your initial recognition and tolerance that opened the door to scientific research for a somewhat eccentric student."

"Thank you to my team partners, Dr. Wang Zhe and Dr. Li Wei, and all the members of the lab and project team. It is your hard work and fighting side-by-side that shared the countless specific and tedious tasks, allowing me to focus on thinking and breakthroughs."

"I also want to thank my family. Their understanding and silent support have been the warmest rear guard that allowed me to come this far."

"Finally,"

He paused, his voice becoming solemn.

"I want to thank all the pioneers throughout the ages who have contributed to this mathematical edifice and temple of science.

Newton, Euler, Cauchy, Hilbert, Lighthill... countless great names.

I am merely lucky to stand on the shoulders of giants in this era and see the scenery they once longed to see."

The venue was extremely quiet; everyone was listening to the inner voice of this young conqueror.

"Some say that proving a Millennium Prize Problem is like climbing a treacherous peak that no one has ever reached.

But in my view, it is more like lighting a new lamp in the infinite darkness.

It illuminates a small patch of the unknown, but at the same time, it allows us to see more clearly the vast unknown territory ahead that is still immersed in darkness."

A light of challenge sparkled in his eyes.

"The solution to the Navier-Stokes Equation is not an end, but a new starting point.

It opens the door for us to a deeper understanding of turbulence and more precise numerical simulations, but it also brings with it new and more complex mathematical problems.

Regarding the uniqueness of solutions? Regarding situations under higher dimensions and more complex boundary conditions? Regarding how to more effectively apply this theory to practice? This requires us, the global scientific community, to continue working together."

He looked at the audience again, his gaze scanning every scholar.

"Science is a common cause for humanity; it transcends borders and races.

My work today is based on the shared knowledge heritage of all mankind.

I also sincerely hope that this result can become a useful stone in the treasure house of human knowledge, inspiring more people, especially young people, to devote themselves to this great and fun-filled cause."

His tone became soft and full of expectation.

"Perhaps the next person to change the world is currently sitting in a middle school classroom, pondering over a math textbook.

Perhaps in some university laboratory, repeating seemingly boring experiments, or perhaps in the back row of this very hall, with eyes flashing with curiosity and longing for the unknown.

May this moment today become a seed that takes root and sprouts in your hearts."

He stepped back slightly and bowed deeply to the audience once more.

"Thank you all again for coming today. Thank you for witnessing this moment with me.

The road ahead is long; only curiosity and passion can guide us through the unknown to reach the next light."

"Thank you."

His reflections ended.

There were no flowery words, yet it was filled with sincerity, gratitude, a sense of historical depth, and ambition for the future.

At this moment, he was not just a genius who had solved a mathematical puzzle, but a leader who truly understood the inheritance of the scientific spirit and was willing to pass it on.

After a brief silence, applause even more enthusiastic and sustained than before swept through the entire Huaxia Hall like a thunderstorm!

Many old professors nodded frequently while applauding vigorously, their eyes full of gratification.

Chen Youhua on the stage maintained a modest smile amidst the long-lasting applause.
