Great Country Academician

After chatting with that girl Xu Xiao for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone.

He never interfered with his sister's choice, at most he gave out his thoughts and suggestions.

It would be great if this girl could find a way in chemistry or biology.

Mathematical physics, or chemical biology, are all sciences, and there is no distinction between good and bad.

Just waiting for him to go back, Old Tang will definitely complain to him, right?

Xu Chuan suddenly thought of Teacher Tang from Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School, and couldn't help smiling.

In terms of talent, Xu Xiao must have a talent in physics, otherwise Old Tang would not have planned to focus on cultivating him before.

It's just that she didn't expect that this girl also changed her mind on her deathbed and went to do other things.

Just as he was thinking, the phone on the table vibrated again.

This time it was Chen Zhengping, a mentor from Nantah University who called.

"Hello, Xu Chuan, are you up yet?" Chen Zhengping's inquiry came from the phone.

Looking at the rising sun outside the window, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's already up."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping joked with a smile: "You are too self-disciplined in your life. You have proved the seven millennium problems, and you haven't even had two parties?"

"If this is put on someone else, the running water table will have to be open for three days and three nights."

Xu Chuan was a little ashamed, and said, "How could it be such an exaggeration."

"Okay, let's get down to business." Chen Zhengping shook his head with a smile, and said, "When will you come back, the school will hold a graduation ceremony for you."

After a pause, he went on to say, "I can't even graduate from Princeton, so I won't let you go."

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, he almost forgot that he had not officially graduated from Nantah University.

After thinking for a while, he replied, "It's the end of the year. I'll go back here around the new year."

Chen Zhengping frowned slightly, and said, "It's too late for you to come back. School was on holiday at that time."

Xu Chuan said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't pay attention to this."

Chen Zhengping helped his forehead and said helplessly: "You don't pay attention, the school pays attention, and you come back so late, how can you give a speech to other students."

"Ah." Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Speech or something, it's unnecessary."

"Why is it unnecessary? This is Hodge's conjecture, the seven millennium problems. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the number one person in the domestic mathematics field. Please invite the number one person in the mathematics field to give a speech, and other schools will invite you No, no such luck."

After a pause, Chen Zhengping continued: "In addition, you solved Hodge's conjecture, the school and the city will have rewards, at least several million, come back early to receive the reward."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little dumbfounded, shook his head, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back early."

In order to let him go back to give a speech, the school began to lure him with bonuses.

But this time to prove Hodge's conjecture, there will definitely be a lot of rewards.

Not to mention anything else, the Clay Institute of Mathematics alone has a bonus of one million gold.

As for domestic rewards, no matter if it's from Nantah University or Jinling City, or from Jiangsu Province to the country, or even from the southern part of Shonan, it's not impossible for them to be at least a few million, or even break eight figures.

This is the Hodge conjecture, the seven millennium problems.

Of course, what is more important is to address the impact and status of this conjecture.

Although the Fields Medal is not as famous as the Nobel Prize, no university or scientific research institution in the world will reject a Fields Medal winner, whether it is placed in China or abroad.

In China, this influence is even more important.

The first Fields Medal for Chinese nationality, its influence and significance are more than ordinary awards.

If it wasn't for Xu Chuan being too young, he would even have thought of expanding his influence and popularity.

Of course, it is not the kind of feudal superstition, but to try to expand its popularity and make it a figure similar to an academic model.

For a country, no matter which aspect a world-leading scholar emerges, it can greatly enhance the self-confidence of the country and the people, and can also drive the development of the entire discipline in the corresponding field. It can even be extended to other fields.

For me, there is a great need for such a person in the field of basic science and natural science.

Those who returned to China before were once promoted to the altar, but due to various constraints, they finally gave up.

Now that a more suitable candidate has appeared, how can it not be exciting.

In the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Xu Chuan called a housekeeper to clean up his villa.

The villa is one of the perks offered by Princeton after he became a lifelong fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

In addition, there is salary and salary, and there are two.

One is a full professor from Princeton University, with an annual salary of 600,000 meters.

The other is a lifelong researcher from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, with an annual salary of 400,000 meters.

The total of the two salaries is one million rice gold, and his annual salary is almost seven and a half million.

This is just a simple salary, in addition to various other benefits.

Such as scientific research project funds, housing subsidies, performance subsidies, allowances, project commissions and other subsidies.

Relatively speaking, this salary is amazing.

Even if he proved the Hodge conjecture, his honors are actually not many. The top two in the mathematics world are the Craford Mathematics Award and the Morning Star Mathematics Award.

Even if he can win the Philippine Award next year, there is still a good comparison standard for the Philippine Award.

For example, after Terence Tao won the Fields Medal in 2006, the salary offered by the University of California to keep him was only an annual salary of 800,000 yuan.

The annual salary of 800,000 meters gold does not sound like much compared to a Filipino award winner.

But this number is actually pretty good. After all, this is reality. It’s not that a certain β almost earns more than 10,000 per month per capita, nor is it that a certain Yin earns one million per capita per year.

In fact, in China, people with a monthly income of over 10,000 only account for about 0.5%.

Based on a population of 1.4 billion, the number of people is only 7 million.

Seven million versus 1.4 billion.

This ratio is actually quite small.

On the Internet, the monthly income per capita exceeds 10,000, and the annual income is one million, which is nothing but the amplification effect of the Internet. Many things that you could never see or understand before can now be found on the Internet.

Coupled with services such as big data calculations, people who can surf the Internet will have an illusion.

I have to admit that the Internet has a subtle influence on a person. Some extravagant and wasteful social chaos on the Internet to attract attention will give some people who have difficulty distinguishing right from wrong a wrong concept of consumption.

In fact, in China, an ordinary university professor's annual salary is about two to three hundred thousand yuan, which is still a professor at the 211 or 985 level.

If you don't go out of your way to get some side jobs, your income will actually not be high.

Of course, the courses given by university professors are fixed every week, and they have a lot of spare time. They can do their own things completely, or rely on their ability to earn extra money. Naturally, they don’t just rely on salary to live.

But this still cannot avoid the fact that the wages of domestic scientific research staff are relatively low.

If this is not the case, there will not be so many scientists, professors and other top talents in various fields going abroad for development or immigrating every year.

In the field of science, relatively speaking, domestic treatment is indeed relatively weak, which is an undisputed fact.

Although there are some compensations in terms of reputation, honor, resources, etc., if the most basic basic necessities of life cannot be solved, these things are of little significance.

After all, people always yearn for a better life.

In modern society, money is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible without money.

After the housekeeping aunt cleaned up the villa, Xu Chuan started to move.

Compared with living in a dormitory of twenty square meters, he still prefers to live in a villa.

Especially since he chose this villa himself and lived in it for more than ten years in his previous life.

Although he reckoned that he might not be able to live there for a long time, until next year's International Mathematical Congress begins, it would be good to experience it again.

Moving alone is a very hard and troublesome thing, even if he is a big man, he does not have as many clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics and other miscellaneous things as girls, but he has lived here in Princeton for nearly two years , or accumulated a lot of things.

In particular, the number of various books and documents was astonishing, so he called Brother Lin Feng, who was also working in Princeton, to help.

It took the two of them a whole day to transfer all the things in the dormitory to the villa.

Brother Lin Feng, who was called by him to help, collapsed on the sofa in the living room from exhaustion.

After taking out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and throwing one bottle to Lin Feng, Xu Chuan also sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV on the wall with the remote control in his hand, making the room a little noisy.

"It's really enviable."

After unscrewing the drink and filling half a bottle, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the empty living room and sighed.

Xu Chuan didn't understand what Brother Lin said for a while, so he asked casually, "What do you envy?"

"Of course it's a villa. You live alone in a single-family villa, and you're still in Princeton. Who wouldn't envy you?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"What's the matter? It's not my house. It's just a house provided by Princeton. You can also rent one." Xu Chuan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled wryly, and said, "Brother, this is Princeton. Do you know how much it costs to rent a villa here for a month? At least it would cost a few thousand dollars. I can't afford it. .”

After a pause, he continued, "Not everyone is as rich as you."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked in surprise: "I remember that your salary is not low, right? A teaching assistant in Princeton earns at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year, plus subsidies, benefits, and other income. Is it okay to rent a house?"

Brother Lin has now completed his advanced studies, graduated from Witten, and is now working as an assistant professor at Princeton.

Compared with other students, it is still very powerful.

After all, not every student from Princeton can stay here.

"But I can't spend half of the money on renting a house." Lin Feng shrugged, and continued: "And I'm going back to China."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan showed a trace of surprise on his face, and asked in surprise: "Going back to China? Didn't I hear you say that?"

"And you have returned to China, what about your little girlfriend? Aren't you planning to get married next year?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "She is going back to China with me and is going through immigration procedures."

Xu Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing! Brother Lin."

Lin Feng took a sip of his drink, and continued, "Speaking of which, I have something to do with you when I go back to China this time."

"Um?"

Xu Chuan showed a puzzled expression. How did this senior brother get involved with him when he returned to China?

Lin Feng explained: "Because of CERN, it is said that our country is about to become a member state of CERN. So the country is recalling a group of foreign students and researchers in this field."

"Of course, I don't know whether this news is true or not, but since there is news, there is a high probability that it is true. Once the news is officially announced, a group of people will definitely be needed to participate in the work of CERN."

"And I participated in your scientific research experiment on the mystery of the proton radius, and I have work experience at CERN, so some time ago, people from the "National Talent Project" team found me and hoped that I could return to work in China."

"Kessler also had work experience at CERN before, so like me, he left the talent introduction plan and planned to return to China to work with me."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "I'm going, why haven't I heard of this news?"

Lin Feng looked over in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Have you not been approached by the 'National Talent Project' team?"

"This shouldn't be, you are a formal researcher at CERN, and you have solved the mystery of the proton radius at CERN, and you have also calculated the most ideal search decay channel for the coupling between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yukawa, and completed the observation experiment."

"I thought you were among the first to be found."

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "No one has really looked for me."

Lin Feng touched the drink bottle with him with a smile, and said, "Maybe your achievements in mathematics are so outstanding that other people ignore your achievements in physics."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lin."

Although I don't know how CERN agreed to Hua Guo's joining, I don't know what the country has paid in this negotiation process.

But joining CERN as a member state is definitely great news for the country and for physics researchers in Huaguo.

For a country to join CERN and become a member state, according to the CERN statute, the annual payment and contribution ratio of each member state determines the share of CERN's purchase of industrial technology equipment for the member state and the ratio of its international staff.

That is to say, CERN will partially return the payment share of member states in different forms to promote the progress of industrial science and technology of member countries.

Therefore, the payment of CERN member states is not a one-way flow, and it will have a compound effect, which will feed back to the member states.

Of course, the treatment of member states in this respect is definitely not as good as that of member states.

But for Huaguo, even some technologies after the restriction are quite good rewards.

For the physicists in Huaguo, there will be greater prospects for future development in the fields of high-energy physics, particle physics, and nuclear physics.

With the background of member states, whether it is the application and use of the LHC Large Intense Particle Collider or other scientific research work, it will be more convenient than a simple cooperative relationship.

As for Senior Brother Lin Feng, the first batch of talents recalled by the country, in any case, in this new field, they can definitely develop a world.

The first comer always has an advantage, and the first person to eat crabs can taste the deliciousness of crabs first. Whether it is on the road of scientific research, or in political management in the future, or other aspects, this qualification alone is Enough to develop something.
