Great Country Academician

Xu Chuan is not worried that the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics cannot review his paper, nor is he worried that the paper will be returned.

There is no one in the astrophysics community who can review his papers, but there are still people in the mathematics and physics circles.

This kind of paper that can change the entire astronomical and astrophysics world, as long as the editor of the journal "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" has the brains, it is impossible to give up, and he will try his best to keep it.

For others, it is their honor to publish a paper in such a top journal, but for Xu Chuan's paper, it is an honor to be included in the journal.

Just like Einstein's winning the Nobel Prize is the honor of the Nobel Prize, not Einstein's honor.

What's even more worrying about Xu Chuan now is that the school is urging him to graduate.

That's right, he was a freshman who had only been in for more than a semester, and he was a freshman who was still a month or two away from finishing his freshman year. He was urged to graduate by the school, urging him to graduate quickly.

He was in the office of his mentor Chen Zhengping when he was called by a phone call.

In the office are not only his mentor Chen Zhengping, but also Professor Zhou Hai from the School of Mathematics, Dean Rong Zhizhuan, and Dean Yu Yongwang from the School of Physics.

"Xu Chuan, it's almost time for you to graduate. Graduate early, go out for further studies early, you are at the age of study now."

"You have to know that people on the Internet are now wondering why you have made such great achievements and have not yet graduated from a bachelor's degree. It is as if Nantah University has detained you from graduating. The school is under a lot of pressure. "

"."

In the office, Rong Zhizhuan persuaded him earnestly, hoping that he could go to a higher school to receive higher knowledge.

Although there are indeed some doubts on the Internet, they are far from affecting Nantah University, let alone putting pressure on universities.

It’s just that in his and many people’s eyes, the Mathematics Institute of Nanjing University can’t teach Xu Chuan anything. Only the top mathematics institute like Princeton, which has many Fields Medal winners, can make Xu Chuan go to a higher level. math steps.

Therefore, since Xu Chuan proved the Weyl-Berry conjecture, he has been actively urging him to graduate, and he does not want to delay his study time in mathematics because of the double major of matter and number.

No one in Nanjing University is more dedicated than Rong Zhizhuan to cherishing mathematics talents.

On the side, Professor Zhou Hai and Yu Yongwang, the dean of the Institute of Physics, were drinking tea calmly and watching the play.

For Zhou Hai, although Xu Chuan is right in both matter and mathematics, he is not his disciple after all, and he is not the school leader of the School of Mathematics. Xu Chuan's mathematical talent is indeed outstanding, and the School of Mathematics of Nanjing University can't teach him anything. But he didn't need to rush to let people graduate.

He came here today only because Rong Zhizhuan pulled him over as a foil.

As for Yu Yongwang, the dean of the Institute of Physics, he is even more calm. He has even less relationship with Xu Chuan, not to mention that Chen Zhengping is still here. Chen Zhengping is Xu Chuan's real tutor, and he is also a physics tutor.

Listening to Rong Zhizhuan's persuasion, Xu Chuan turned his attention to his mentor Chen Zhengping.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Zhengping shook his head slightly. He also supported his disciple's early graduation.

To be honest, up to now he doesn't have too many complicated thoughts about Xu Chuan's early graduation, and he doesn't care whether he has made physical achievements.

If it is an ordinary tutor or professor who brings such an outstanding student, he will definitely try to find ways to study abroad for a while.

After all, according to the current domestic academic unspoken rules, even if a student’s graduation thesis or other research results are produced by the student alone, the teacher can still get a share, not to mention all one work, but at least the second work and the corresponding author’s tutor will get a share. arrive.

But for him, these things don't matter anymore. He can become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he doesn't need these grades of students to add points.

Whether it is the proof of the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture, the comprehensive proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, or the scientific research observation experiment of Betelgeuse and the subsequent derivative results of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, he actually None of them added their names to the papers.

It's not a problem to add it, after all, he is a mentor, but Chen Zhengping doesn't bother to take advantage of such an advantage. In this era when teachers' morality is becoming more and more rare, he still has to face.

And these things basically have nothing to do with him, they are all made by Xu Chuan himself, and they are all the achievements of the mathematics world.

In this case, it is even more impossible to add his own name to Xu Chuan's thesis. Although Xu Chuan mentioned these things, he refused them all.

For a student like Xu Chuan, Chen Zhengping didn't have too many ideas. His only idea was not to delay his future, and let him go to a higher platform to absorb scientific research nutrients and continue to grow.

A group of people chatted in the office for a while and then dispersed.

In fact, today's conversation was not specifically aimed at urging Xu Chuan to graduate, but to inform him of the rewards for the results of Betelgeuse's scientific research experiments.

Regarding the reward for this scientific research experiment, Nanjing University has already discussed and prepared it.

The school rewarded 100,000 cash for the observation of a companion star found in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse.

As for the method of Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, the school rewards 500,000 cash in cash.

Compared with the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, it is much less, but it is normal, after all, the influence brought by the two is completely different.

Even if the weight of the Weyl-Berry conjecture in the mathematical world is only at the end of T2, and the important performance of the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies ranks at the top in the astronomical world, it can be said to be a pioneering level, but the weight of the two is still the same. Quite a difference.

Without him, the astronomy world is too small to compare with the mathematics world.

Of course, this is just the school's rewards. In addition, there are also rewards from Jinling City, the astronomical community, etc. These cannot be escaped.

However, although the rewards are ready, it will take some time to distribute them.

One is that the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem paper on the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies has not yet passed the review.

The second is that this time the scientific research laboratory discovered that there is a companion star in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse, which also needs a return cycle to determine.

Therefore, although the school has prepared the rewards, according to the regulations, they cannot be issued for the time being. It needs to wait until the scientific research results are completely confirmed. That is to say, Xu Chuan will have to wait at least one more month to get these rewards. .

However, unexpectedly, an astronomical institution in the Germanic country abroad made a detailed observation of Betelgeuse two or three months ago.

Then after it was revealed that Betelgeuse is a twin star, the other party immediately thought of the previous data, and compared it, it was sure that some of the same data anomalies were confirmed from it.

Instead of using Xu Chuan's Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, more complicated calculations were made using traditional methods, and a conclusion was also drawn that there is indeed this companion star in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse.

And the timing is completely in line with Xu Chuan's calculation.

Two kinds of data, two completely different methods, in contrast, it is confirmed that there is a companion star in Betelgeuse, and it is also confirmed that the return cycle of the companion star in Betelgeuse is 28 days, and it is confirmed that it has been believed before that Betelgeuse, a single-star galaxy, eventually became a binary galaxy.

So after the German Astronomical Agency announced the news, Nanjing University also followed up in real time, not only publicizing the astronomical discovery again, but also sending out the reward for the discovery of a companion star in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse in advance. .

As for the results of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem to accurately calculate the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, we have to wait until the paper has been reviewed.

And the rewards from the city and the astronomical community basically have to wait for the final results to be confirmed before they can be distributed.

When the others left, Xu Chuan said hello and was about to leave, but was stopped by his mentor.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Chen Zhengping called to stop Xu Chuan, and continued: "As for the scientific research experiment on tungsten diselenide last year, I have completed the problem and submitted it for approval."

"So you can send out the mathematical model used in the analysis of tungsten diselenide, including modeling papers and the like."

Hearing that the final review of the tungsten diselenide project was completed, Xu Chuan asked curiously: "Has the collapse and roll-up effect of the tungsten diselenide nanosheets been finally resolved? What is the yield rate?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping grinned and said, "Solved, thanks to your help, using that mathematical model, your senior brother and I optimized things like reducing agent and catalyst."

"The reducing agent was finally modified, and the original hydrogen reducing agent was modified into an ionic hydride, that is, a salt-type hydride, and finally the yield reached about 93.67 percent."

"In addition, after the scientific research experiment here is completed, the bonus should also be issued. According to the contribution and bonus awarding system, the bonus for your side and Professor Zhou Hai's student named Xin is 179,000."

"Give me a bank card account number, and I'll call you here, because your bonuses are integrated, plus the mathematical model you completed independently before, I don't know how much each person has done for your specific contribution." Clear, so the bonus will be distributed to you."

Hearing that the yield of tungsten diselenide had reached 93%, Xu Chuan knew that the defect caused by van der Waals force had been resolved.

He is not surprised that the tutor can find a new reducing agent to solve the problem of van der Waals force defect. After all, he is an academician of a scientific research academy and an academician with real materials.

However, he did not go on to ask what is the ionic hydride reducing agent that solves the van der Waals force, because this involves experimental confidentiality.

Except for the internal core personnel of the scientific research team, as well as some patent examiners and key personnel, no one else will know about this critical nature.

Even the published patent clauses will not contain such details.

It was the amount of the bonus that surprised Xu Chuan.

179,000, almost 180,000 bonuses, breaking six figures, this amount is quite exaggerated for people like him and his senior who joined the scientific research project midway.

He had estimated his bonus before, and when he and his senior sister added up, the two of them could get a total bonus of about a hundred thousand.

Unexpectedly, the final result almost doubled.

Of course, this bonus is nothing to a material project with a market worth billions or even billions.

If he can participate in this project from the beginning, the bonus can be doubled again.

But after all, he joined halfway, and he was not a member of the scientific research team. To get a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan, it can be said that Chen Zhengping attaches great importance to his contribution. The bonus should be calculated according to the maximum contribution value.

There is no such thing as ordinary professors or tutors sneakily deducting members' bonuses, and even privately subsidizing some money in it.

However, his mentor Chen Zhengping will not lose money, not only will he not lose money, he can even say that he will make a lot of money. Relying on the tungsten diselenide project, he has a probability of more than 90% to get Huaguo National Science and Technology prize.

And as long as you get the National Science and Technology Award, no matter what class you are in, the bonus can exceed two million.

If you can go up one level and get the highest national science and technology award, the bonus can exceed five million, and the probability of getting it is actually not low, it can exceed 60%.

Because tungsten diselenide, a low-dimensional material, has a high function, it has good physical, chemical and electrical properties, and can be widely used in energy storage batteries, lubrication, semiconductors, photovoltaics, aerospace, aviation, military, national defense and other fields middle.

At present, more than 80% of domestic tungsten diselenide is imported. If it can produce independently, it will definitely break the monopoly of foreign countries, and even export it to the outside world.

As for the hundreds of thousands of bonus he got, it was just a drop in the bucket for the whole project.

After all, there is no doubt about the importance of his joining the tungsten diselenide project.

Without his analysis, the mentor Chen Zhengping would have given up on this long-delayed project at the beginning of this year.

If there is no mathematical model, the collapse and rolling effect caused by van der Waals force when tungsten diselenide is tiled is not so easy to solve. It may take a year and a half for this project to be completed.

Moreover, Xu Chuan can be sure that the yield rate of tungsten diselenide cannot reach more than 93%. According to his experience, it is about 90%.

The yield of 93 is exaggerated for a low-dimensional material such as tungsten diselenide.

Xu Chuan remembered that when he first developed superconducting materials, they were also low-dimensional materials, but the yield rate was only about 80%. Later, he asked a Philippine award-winning mathematician in Princeton to help him create a mathematical model. Princeton's supercomputer has only increased the yield to about 97%, which shows the importance of mathematical models in material research and development.

ps: Let me report on my status. After taking medicine for two or three days, my body temperature stabilized and dropped back to about 37.7 or 8 degrees. However, my physical and mental state became worse. I was sick and uncomfortable, but I guessed it It should have passed the peak, and it should start to recover gradually tomorrow. I tested it with the antigen myself, and the red stripes are a little weaker. I hope it gets better soon.

Everyone pay attention, don’t be tricked, this thing is really more uncomfortable than a bad cold, those who talk about a small cold are really nonsense, especially the Chinese New Year is coming, the elderly and children at home may not be able to resist it, remember to prepare some medicine, Spend one or two hundred yuan to be prepared.
