1991 Starting from the core

Not much.

In Su Yuanshan's concept, this word only belongs to the tendency description of objective distribution rather than the objective distribution itself. As a serious engineer and physicist, this answer obviously did not satisfy him.

Fortunately, Lin Kelin did not intend to answer with just a "vague" word. After a slight regret and sigh, she immediately said: "After you visited our school, we actually had discussions and simple statistics on the BBS in the school."

Su Yuanshan immediately looked at her: "What next."

"As far as our school is concerned, nearly 40% of students think it is feasible to maintain the status quo. A small number of students...well, probably no more than 10% of students hold an opposing attitude. On the contrary, and I have the same view, and it will not exceed 10%. Of course, nearly 30% of students support completing the return in the HK model."

"The rest is basically non-committal and indifferent."

Looking at Su Yuanshan, Lin Kelin felt that she should add a little more confidence to her boss. After thinking about it, she added: "But nearly half of the students feel that as long as the conditions in the mainland are good, they are still willing to come to the mainland for development, especially in science and engineering. s student."

After finishing speaking, Lin Kelin stood in front of the desk with some anxiety. She didn't know whether the boss was satisfied with her answer, or in other words, the boss was dissatisfied with the mentality on the island.

Then she saw a smile gradually rising on Su Yuanshan's face.

"Well, very good, National Taiwan University is very good."

Su Yuanshan laughed, quite happy.

Although this made Lin Kelin a little confused, she was finally relieved.

"In this case, Xiao Lin, you should visit Mr. Chen and the Board of Directors' office in the next few months. You should know that Mr. Chen is your alumnus."

Lin Kelin was a little confused, but she nodded slightly: "Mr. Chen is our outstanding alumnus."

"Haha, my, I actually forgot about this." Su Yuanshan patted his forehead lightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Since there are so many students in your school who are willing to come to the mainland for development... Well... I assume there are Mr. Chen’s relationship, but I don’t think this can be regarded as a decisive factor in terms of personal future.”

"Then as representatives of domestic technology companies, we should provide these students with opportunities to study and find employment." Su Yuanshan nodded slightly, then nodded, as if saying to himself: "Well, it's almost... ready for school recruitment. "

Lin Kelin was slightly startled.

School recruitment? Isn't this...

"You go over and have a chat with Mr. Chen first, and then prepare more information in this area recently. If the time is really ripe, we will promote school recruitment there."

After watching Lin Kelin leave, Su Yuanshan slowly calmed down his smile.

——There are only a few people who clearly support the separation. Compared with later generations, this is simply great news.

In the past decade or so, the biggest change for the island relative to its history has been the absence of the pillar industry of semiconductors, which has affected the whole country, causing it to fall behind throughout the new century.

Nowadays, wages on the island have not only not increased for more than ten years, but have also dropped substantially due to inflation.

Frankly, there's no future up there.

Since the young elites there are willing to come to the mainland for development, Su Yuanshan is naturally willing to provide them with a springboard.

After briefly sending a few messages to Wen Xiaoqian to talk about the matter, Su Yuanshan clicked on the email forwarded by Lin Kelin.

This is an email from Eric Cornell. This guy is the 2001 Nobel Prize winner in physics. His field is condensed matter physics like Su Yuanshan. The result is the realization of glassy glass in a dilute gas with alkali atoms. Color-Einstein condensation.

Of course, Su Yuanshan took it alone, while Cornell shared it with his companions, Wolfgang Ketner and Carl Weiman.

Due to the closeness of their fields, Su Yuanshan and Cornell have exchanged many emails since they got to know each other. This time Yuanxin is going to establish the Polaris Award, and Cornell naturally became one of the first recommenders invited.

Opening the email, Su Yuanshan smiled slightly when he saw that Cornell, under his "circular induction", recommended John Mather and George Smoot, who discovered the blackbody form and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Then he suddenly thought that Su Xiaomu had been clamoring to become an astrophysicist a few days ago - and based on his observations, his daughter seemed to have inherited his genes in terms of being "more serious". . After he told his daughter that to become an astrophysicist, she must learn mathematics well. Her daughter has really shown great enthusiasm for mathematics these days.

Well, that’s certainly a good thing!

After counting, Su Yuanshan opened another document and finally determined the list.

Monday, September 4th.

Today is also the first Monday in September.

The same is true for the Polaris lottery day after many drafts.

As a brand new award, in addition to generous rewards, it is best to cause a sensation and attention as soon as it is announced. Therefore, in preparation for this day, the Polaris Awards Committee has done a lot of work - specifically, this year's first one is entirely managed by Su Yuanshan himself.

Not only take advantage of his connections, but also his fame and influence.

The first person to receive the call was Zhang Yitang.

…

"Hello, Professor Zhang Yitang."

On the phone, Su Yuanshan smiled and used the most formal tone, making Zhang Yitang on the other end of the phone hum. He was silent for a long time before giving a tentative feed.

"Hill?"

"Well, it's me." Su Yuanshan chuckled: "Senior brother, congratulations. Through the recommendation of the Polaris Award jury, you won this year's and the first Polaris Mathematics Award."

After a pause, Su Yuanshan continued: "Let me explain to you, this bonus is provided by Polaris Capital Association, and the amount is 8 million yuan."

Su Yuanshan heard the other side take two heavy breaths, but there was still no sound.

"What? Do you think it's not close enough? Or do you think this award... isn't very famous?"

"Ah, no!" Zhang Yitang came back to his senses and said almost incoherently: "This... let me digest it. When did this award come out?"

"This year, in the first half of the year, I met you in the capital... I had this idea. I originally wanted to invite you to be a guest judge, but I thought that you are most likely the favorite for the first mathematics award, so I didn't invite you." Su Yuanshan laughed loudly: "Brother, don't worry, the grade of this award cannot be low. And you also know my character. This is not an award only given to domestic scholars, it is open to the entire science. boundary."

"Yeah, I know..." Zhang Yitang responded one after another, and after being silent for a few seconds, he finally laughed: "This bonus alone is enough to meet the standards of the Nobel Prize."

"Yes, let's not talk secretly. We are the benchmark Nobel Prize - whether it is impartiality or prize money. But this is an award that focuses on science and engineering, so there is no literature prize, peace prize or economics prize. "

The two chatted briefly and then hung up the phone. Su Yuanshan called John Mather again.

Then, when Su Yuanshan just said congratulations to the other party for winning the Polaris Award, the old man hung up the phone without thinking.

Obviously, this uncle thinks Su Yuanshan is a liar.

Then, when Su Yuanshan called the phone for the second time, it took a long time for the uncle to answer.

"Let me remind you, if you are a phone scammer... I suggest you call 911."

"Hello, I am Su Yuanshan."

"I don't care who you are." On the phone, because of the time difference, the man was probably ready to take a rest, and his tone was extremely unkind.

Su Yuanshan looked at the phone, dumbfounded: "Mr. John, I am Su Yuanshan, Su Yuanshan from Yuanxin... If you are also paying attention to the news about the Nobel Prize in physics, it may be influential, I am..."

Then there was a sudden silence on the phone for two seconds. After half a ring, John Mather cursed: "Are you sure you are Su Yuanshan?"

"I'm pretty sure it's me, I'm sitting in my office calling you."

Su Yuanshan looked at his own appearance in a small mirror in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Yes, I am telling you this time because there is a new science award established this year, and after recommendation - unfortunately I can't tell you Who have recommended you, but what I can say is that most of them are scholars who have won Nobel Prizes and scholars with equivalent achievements."

"In addition to the certificate, the host committee also provides a bonus of 8 million yuan, which is equivalent to 1.25 million US dollars."

"Of course, this prize will be divided equally between you and George Smoot, who co-discovered the blackbody form of the cosmic microwave background radiation with you."

The man who had been silent cursed, but it was obvious that his tone was full of joy.

…

Su Yuanshan was on the phone all morning.

Fortunately, his reputation is big enough... The academic community generally knows that he is a Nobel Prize scholar - after all, he is one of the youngest Nobel Prize scholars and the only one to win the award as a mainland scholar in decades. And no matter how bad it is, you still know Yuan Xin...

And, this is pretty certain.

Because without even making a phone call, Su Yuanshan would post a blog post with the topic # North Star # on Weibo and ebook.

When he was making the second call, Weibo and ebook both set # Polestar # as a hot topic. As long as these scholars know how to surf the Internet and are willing to take a look online, they will naturally determine whether it is true or false.

In the afternoon, the topic of Polaris has become the top topic in all media and forums, including eso Post Bar.

The official account of the Polaris Award Committee, which Han Yiyi is temporarily in charge of, also gave the origin of the Polaris Award, the award selection method, as well as the annual draw and award time, etc., which were announced to the public and placed at the top of the relevant topics. Popular locations are used as supplements.

There has always been no shortage of analytical experts on the Internet, both in the East and in the West.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biomedicine, computer science, and electronic engineering, these six categories are also fully consistent with the classification of modern science and technology. It is also completely in line with Yuanxin’s style.

And even if you put aside the bonus, which is slightly more generous than the Nobel Prize, judging from the list of winners, this award is definitely not a copycat award.

For example, the Mathematics Award winner Zhang Yitang - he proved the weakened form of the twin prime conjecture and gave a method. Now more than half a year later, the mathematical community has reduced his original number of 70 million to less than 300...

Another example is the two winners of the Physics Prize, John Mather and George Smoot—these two have long been called for that their results are Nobel Prize-level, and they are owed a Nobel Prize...

Another example is the Chemistry Prize, awarded to Roger Kornberg, who provided research on the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription.

As for biomedicine, it was given to Andrew Farr and Craig Mello, who discovered the RNA (ribonucleic acid) interference mechanism...

It can be said that these are all Nobel Prize-level results in the traditional sense, and some are even popular results!

In addition to these awards that overlap with the Fields and Nobel Prizes, computer science was given to Barbara Liskov, the "eldest sister" who was also the 2004 von Neumann Prize winner.

Yes, she is female. She is also the first female Ph.D. in computer science in the history of the United States and has made outstanding contributions in the practical and theoretical fields of programming languages ​​and system design.

The Electronic Engineering Award was given to Fujio, the Japanese man who invented flash memory. He was even hidden by Toshiba for a time and paid 1,000 US dollars to win. It wasn't until IEEE issued a certificate that Toshiba coyly admitted it.

Today, Fujio is continuing to build his flash memory empire with a high-standard laboratory in Yuanxin's science and technology park in Shanghai.

When the list of winners and their contributions were announced one by one and then made into special features, traditional media also started to take action.

After all...even if you don't like it, you have to hold your nose and admit it when faced with traffic.

A week later.

Zhang Yitang's laughter came from Su Yuanshan's office.

Because Su Yuanshan joked: "Brother, are you here for verification?"

Of course, Zhang Yitang didn't come to the school for verification. He just came to the Telecommunications Department for academic exchanges, giving a few classes to the students and at the same time stopping by to visit Su Yuanshan.

Of course, the two men naturally mentioned the Polaris Award.

"Brother, the original intention of establishing Polaris was that there was no award in the domestic academic community that could match the World Grand Prize. Of course, we also admit that according to the current selection requirements, domestic scholars and achievements are indeed far behind. "

Zhang Yitang nodded calmly: "This can't be rushed."

"Yes, there is no rush, but it is always good to have hope. And... in the traditional science field, we are still far behind developed countries, but in the field of engineering, we are not necessarily that far behind."

Zhang Yitang nodded again.

The level of a country's scientific and technological enterprises is directly related to the country's scientific and technological development level, especially its technological development level.

Now basically, whether it is academia or industry, there is basically a consensus...

That is: the Internet was born in the West, but it was developed in the East.

So... after the distribution has been given to the founders in the West, it will be the turn of those in the East to carry it forward.
