From small town academic to chief scientist

It's only eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Zhou Yi feels that Mr. Yang should have gotten up early by now.

Mr. Yang lives in Zhaolan Courtyard of Shuimu University. Because he is too old and has difficulty moving, Shuimu University built a two-story single-family house for Mr. Yang.

Usually there are official J people for protection.

Generally, except for the school leadership figures, it is difficult for ordinary people to see them.

Although he is over a hundred years old, his thinking agility is only faster than that of ordinary young physicists.

Domestic evaluations of Mr. Yang are mixed, but the contributions made by Mr. Yang and Mr. Qiu are only known to those in the industry.

Except for the students of a certain Beijing University, in Zhou Yi's opinion, the students of a certain Beijing University were like clowns when they met Ci Qiu and Yang.

As far as Zhou Yi knows, in October 1971, Yang Zhenning testified at the "Return of CS Agreement" hearing held by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

He comprehensively described the fact that Fishing Island is the territory of Daxia from the perspective of history, geography and reality, and made important contributions to safeguarding the territorial integrity of Daxia.

There was also several years of fruitful cooperation with Gu Chaohao and other teachers at Aurora University, which promoted the signing of an exchange agreement between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Aurora.

Milnor, winner of the third Zhouyi Prize in Mathematics, was also at Stony Brook University.

In May 1997, the International Minor Planet Center officially named the asteroid No. 3421 "Yang Chenning Star".

When Mr. Yang returned to China, Stony Brook University directly changed the name of their school's Institute of Physics to the Chen Ning Yang Institute.

There are many, many more. Back then, **** listened to many suggestions from Mr. Yang and made many changes.

Including the current junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China, etc., there are too many, and Peony can’t even finish them on Zhouyi Headphones.

For example, he cooperated with Mr. Qiu to establish many scientific research institutions and cultivated many backbone and high-end talents, who have shined in Daxia.

Without them, Daxia would not be able to make breakthroughs in many aspects of science and technology.

Not only was it stuck, but it was difficult to catch up for many years.

The security personnel here didn't know Zhou Yi at all. Seeing that Zhou Yi was so young, they thought he was an undergraduate.

The security guard came over and said:

"Classmate, please don't bother Mr. Yang if you have nothing to do. Study hard. Maybe you can meet Mr. Yang at some academic conferences in the future."

Zhouyi:...

These security personnel are still very polite, Zhou Yi said:

"I'm Zhou Yi, and I'd like to meet Mr. Yang."

The security personnel were stunned for a moment. They were from the J side and had no idea what was going on outside.

The security guard said patiently:

"This student Zhou Yi, no matter what happens to you, I will not let you in without permission from above."

Zhouyi: ".."

Zhou Yi also said very politely:

"I am Zhou Yi, the famous Zhou Yi, the great mathematician Zhou Yi."

Warning J said:

"I don't care who you are, even if you are the original "Book of Changes" written by Jichang, King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, you can't get in without permission from above."

Zhouyi:...

MMP, you forced me. Originally I wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that I have to be high-profile again.

Zhou Yi took out his mobile phone and called Principal Qiu.

After a while, Zhou Yi explained the situation. Principal Qiu immediately put down the unfinished meeting and rushed here.

A group of people were left confused.

Many people complained:

"What's wrong with Principal Qiu? I have to ask you to go in person in the middle of the meeting."

Principal Qiu dropped this sentence:

"Zhou Yi wants to see Mr. Yang Zhenning."

Everyone then shut up.

They couldn't afford to offend these two gods.

The three gods recognized by Shuimu University should not be messed with.

There is Mr. Yang, Mr. Qiu, and the remaining one is the youngest professor Zhou Yi.

Anyone he offends will probably be expelled from Shuimu University directly.

Not long after, Principal Qiu came to Zhou Yi. After explaining to the security personnel for a long time,

Zhou Yi and Principal Qiu went in together.

The security personnel looked confused. This young man was exaggerating. The president of Shuimu University personally came to explain. There were probably only a few people in the entire Shuimu University.

When Ms. Weng saw Principal Qiu with a young man, she didn't ask any questions, but directly informed Yang Zhenning.

After a while, Yang Zhenning slowly walked out with the support of Ms. Weng.

Although there are many wrinkles on his face, his eyes are bright and bright, revealing a spark of wisdom.

"Are you Zhou Yi?"

Yang Zhenning asked Zhou Yi.

Mr. Yang is quite proud. When he was young, he once scolded Einstein for being old and confused.

Zhou Yi said very politely:

"Hello Mr. Yang, my name is Zhou Yi."

Mr. Yang sighed:

"You are young, you are really young. Sit down. What do you want to talk to me about?"

As soon as Mr. Yang finished speaking, he saw someone standing beside him.

"Hey, Xiaoqiu, you're here too, why don't we sit down and talk together?"

Mr. Yang said calmly, his tone was neither urgent nor quick.

Principal Qiu:.

"I won't interrupt the chat between the two big guys, right?"

Mr. Yang said:

"No need to bother me, you're here. Why don't you just sit down and stay with us?"

In this way, Principal Qiu was sitting on a pin rug listening to the conversation of the two gods, not knowing what the two gods were going to say.

At this time, Yang Zhenning looked at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi also looked at Yang Zhenning.

The atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment, but Zhou Yi still spoke and said:

"Mr. Yang, I plan to build a Large Hadron Collider, which will be bigger than the one in Europe. I will build a super collider."

Zhou Yi's speech was not surprising, and it shocked Mr. Yang, Ms. Weng and Principal Qiu directly.

I thought it would be something academic, but it turned out to be building a super large collider.

The shock on Yang Zhenning's face quickly disappeared.

Over the years, from the Anti-Japanese War to the present, I have seen a lot of ups and downs.

After calming down, he said with great interest:

"It's useless to tell me this. That kid Wang Yifang also said back then, what are you going to use to convince me?

Don't say empty words like your talent is better than his, or your achievements are greater than his. I admit that your talents and achievements are very strong, but compared to me, I think they are still far behind.

Maybe there will be a chance to surpass me in the future, but not yet.

So this doesn't convince me. "

Zhou Yi felt MMP in his heart, people become better with age, the ancients did not deceive me, and directly blocked what Zhou Yi was about to say.

And he pretended to be sexy without leaving any trace.

It ranks first in the world of physics today and third in the history of physics in the world, which shows its strength.

The current standard model was inspired by Yang Zhenning’s non-Abelian field theory.

CERN still uses this model to this day.

Zhou Yi secretly said that fortunately, I had other preparations.

Zhou Yi said very solemnly:

"After Cern was successfully established, it has always been the center of the world's science and technology. It has produced countless achievements. Now that the Internet is so developed, the World Wide Web has made an indelible contribution.

I think it’s time for our country to try to lead the world’s technological trends. "

Mr. Yang smiled disdainfully and said very disdainfully:

"I thought you would say something new. That guy Wang Yifang also told me the same thing, in 2013 or 2016.

Only 7 years have passed since 2016. Can my country’s high-energy physics researchers account for 2% of the world’s total?

Do you know the ugly country back then?

They spent a huge amount of money to build the Large Hadron Collider, but it still ended in failure. They have enough technology and enough talents in this area. What do we have?

The U.S. started building the Large Hadron Collider in 1989, but was forced to stop construction less than half of the time, wasting money and spending billions of magnesium gold in vain.

The reason for the discontinuation was that funding had repeatedly exceeded the budget. The budget had increased from the initial planned 3 billion magnesium gold to more than 8 billion magnesium gold, which aroused huge opposition from the domestic public and had to cancel the project in 1992.

The original more than 3 billion magnesium gold was quite a lot, not the current 3 billion magnesium gold. "

In the end, Mr. Yang was obviously very disappointed.

Principal Qiu on the side felt MMP in his heart. He just told me to leave. Do you have to keep me here to listen to your quarrel?

Is this something I can hear?

Zhou Yi was silent for a while and said:

"I am 100% sure that the construction will be successful. The Hadron Collider must be built,

The incidental scientific research results alone can repay the cost and trigger revolutions in various disciplines. "

Mr. Yang said:

"Old man Qiu told me, and Wang Yifang also said that without new reasons, I will not agree, let alone support the state's allocation of this fund."

Zhou Yi didn't expect this old gentleman to be so difficult to deal with, he was simply impeccable.

Zhou Yi tirelessly persuaded:

"I came to you, and I didn't expect the state to allocate funds to me. I will pay for the construction myself. I have money."

At the end, Zhou Yi's eyes were firm and his tone was very sonorous.

Mr. Yang said with some surprise:

"You are rich. You are only 20 years old. How much money do you have? I know their previous plan. The rough plan is divided into two phases.

The funding for the first phase is as high as 36 billion, and the second phase is at least 140 billion. A conservative estimate is that if it is to be completed, it will be at least 300 billion.

This is 300 billion. Don’t think about it. Just study mathematics and physics. The country is also preparing some work, and the time has not yet come. "

Mr. Yang finally said with some emotion, and his tone was not as sharp as before.

"Did Old Man Qiu trick you into coming here?"

A very outstanding junior, the successor and leader of Daxia Kingdom’s future mathematical physics,

Mr. Yang was just persuading.

Zhou Yi shook his head and said:

“It wasn’t Teacher Qiu who asked me to build the Large Hadron Collider, but I was the one who asked Teacher Qiu to have this idea again.

I sold my voice system for a lot of money, probably 30 to 40 billion, and I will still make money every year. I don’t know the exact amount.

Liu Qingfeng of iFlytek is still talking to various mobile phone companies. "

Yang Zhenning shook his head and said:

"That's not enough. Just the cost of running the collider is a huge trap. Not to mention the maintenance cost, the power consumption is huge.

The current operating power consumption of the LHC is 200,000 kilowatt hours, which means the electricity bill is about 200,000 yuan per hour.

Their previous plan to build a collider was four times longer than the LHC and consumed even more energy. If the electricity bill is 1 million yuan per hour, it is 24 million yuan per day, which is 8.76 billion yuan per year. If it is started and operated continuously for 4 years, the electricity bill for operation will be 35 billion yuan.

Coupled with the costs of equipment maintenance and upgrades and supporting facilities, this burden is staggering.

This is not only a matter of funding, but also of talent, technology, and many other issues. There are countless difficulties that are difficult to overcome during the construction period. The probability of success in construction is only 40%, which is too uncertain. If the construction is unsuccessful, people and money will be wasted; if the construction is successful, there will still be many usage problems. "

Zhou Yi directly began to enlarge his moves and said:

"Mathematical number theory has developed into a very glorious era. The birth of Zhou's analytical method is destined to usher in the era of artificial intelligence in advance.

Technologies in the era of artificial intelligence are all foreseeable. The money earned from them will exceed that of many technology companies, and it will be enough for us to support a Large Hadron Collider.

It’s not like we succeeded in building it every year or two, right?

Moreover, the development brought about by artificial intelligence will be transformative in various aspects such as controllable nuclear fusion, aerospace, military, civilian use, etc. I think the construction of the collider can begin. "

When Yang Zhenning heard this, his originally unmoved mood turned a little rough, and he asked:

“Can you lead artificial intelligence to create change?”

Zhou Yi said very confidently:

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have done number theory in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to just start studying NS equations?"

Yang Zhenning still highly recognizes Zhouyi's mathematical ability. At least for so many years, he has

I have seen very few mathematical geniuses who can be recognized by him.

There are very few people who have this kind of pioneering spirit, and Zhou Yi is obviously one of them.

Artificial intelligence, as the hottest field at the moment, may bring some opportunities.

Mr. Yang squinted his eyes and said nothing, obviously deep in thought.

Principal Qiu on the side looked confused. No, they were almost fighting just now. Why are they talking so happily now?

After a while, Principal Qiu finally thought about it. Both of them were working for the future of the country.

It's just that the starting point is different. Mr. Yang disagrees because he can't see hope.

What Zhou Yi said now obviously gave Mr. Yang a glimmer of hope.

"Tell me about the preparations you made."

Mr. Yang said.

Zhouyi said:

"The talents I contacted before from abroad have returned. In addition, four of my six apprentices are in the direction of artificial intelligence and have high attainments in mathematics.

The voice system was also an idea given by me, and they were responsible for the operation.

Counting Chen Danqi and others, the talents under my command are close to ten world-class masters.

After doing large-scale systems a few more times, they may become stronger, and the people under them will also be greatly exercised. "

Not only Yang Zhenning looked shocked, but also Principal Qiu beside him,

How long have you been playing this game of chess before it became so big?

No wonder I switched from geometry to number theory. It turned out to be this layout.

How come you are so young and have so many thoughts?

Principal Qiu cursed in his heart.

Yang Zhenning thought for a moment and said:

"It seems that you are well prepared, but there is still a shortage of talents in physics, so I am still a little unsure."

Zhouyi said:

“The collider was not built in a day or two, so it would be nice to train a few more master-level apprentices.

We can also find ways to bring back Chinese overseas. They are also Chinese after graduation, people who have left our land. "

Yang Zhenning said:

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. I also know that you young people have more radical ideas and may introduce foreigners.

I have to say here that Old Man Qiu and I are the best examples. "

Zhou Yi and Principal Qiu broke into a cold sweat. Is there any such example?

He scolded himself and Old Man Qiu together.

Zhouyi said:

"No matter what ordinary people say, in my heart, you are all giants who have done extraordinary and great work for the country."

"Building a large collider is not something that happens in a day or two. I want to think about it again. In addition, it is impossible for you to provide the funds alone. I am thinking about it."

Mr. Yang was obviously a little moved.

Although he said that Zhou Yi's achievements were not as good as his own, in fact Zhou Yi's attainments in mathematics were not low.

The founders of the two schools have already explained many issues.

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Without the support from above, it would be difficult to decide just on the address issue.

Zhouyi said:

"Building a large collider is not only a matter for our generation, but also something that can benefit future generations."

Mr. Yang said:

"This is also one of the reasons why I moved. You are still young and can be in charge of our collider for decades. With you here, I believe nothing big will go wrong.

In just a few decades, many generations of successors can be cultivated. "

Develop talents?

Mr. Yang seemed to have thought of something, Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study.

Good guy!

This junior has been laying it out for so long, and it turns out there is still this level.

If the scientific research atmosphere of Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies is strong, it is really possible to invite many Chinese scholars back.

At least in Yuzhou, the local government will definitely give the greatest support.

Similar to USTC, similar to Southern University of Science and Technology.

No wonder Zhou Yi was so active in promoting the establishment of the Yuzhou Institute of Advanced Studies, and it is not surprising to think of this.

If you want to know Mr. Yang’s contribution, just ask the author in the group.
