Great Country Academician

In the hotel room, Xu Chuan's eyes moved.

It has to be said that the various benefits attached to this invitation are indeed exaggerated.

The salary is doubled by 2 million meters gold, housing and car allocation, corresponding scientific research funding resources, the right to use various large-scale scientific research equipment, the title of national academician, and the immigration of three generations of relatives

For talents, the United States is indeed flocking to them.

Even for a Fields Medal winner, this treatment is exaggerated enough.

It can be said that if a Nobel Prize winner in the application department is invited, the conditional treatment may be nothing more than that, and the Nobel Prize winner who is not an applied theory may not be able to have such a high treatment.

But no matter how good these things are, it is not his homeland, his home, the land where he has lived for twenty years.

Pretending to be a little shocked, Xu Chuan swallowed, but still did not speak.

On the opposite side, Andre Miller smiled. Judging from his performance, this young genius is a little tempted.

They investigated, and found that Xu Chuan was just a student who came from a poor family in the countryside. He had no background, and his family was poor and not rich. He had achieved today's brilliance only through his personal talent and hard work.

This kind of person is the most suitable for the United States, and is also the easiest to be persuaded.

After a pause, he continued: "Professor Xu, I believe that you can show your greatest talents in the United States. There are all kinds of top scholars in the world here. Whether it is mathematics, physics, or astronomy, they all have There are countless top talents."

"In addition, we also have the world's top scientific research equipment, which can cooperate and help you realize your dream."

"I believe that no country is more suitable for you than the United States."

On the opposite side, Fefferman also smiled and said, "Xu, welcome. I believe you are enjoying your life in Princeton. Maybe we can work together to solve the NS equation."

Xu Chuan was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. After a while, he said with some difficulty: "I need to think about it."

André Miller laughed: "Of course, I hope we can work together one day."

He didn't let Xu Chuan make a decision now, after all, immigration is not a trivial matter.

But he also believed that no one could refuse such a temptation, and eventually this young genius would fall into their arms.

Xu Chuan nodded, turned and left without saying a word.

In the room, Andre got up and chased after him, stuffed a bag of tea into Xu Chuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Professor Xu, this is for you, and it would be a waste to put it in my hands."

Xu Chuan took the tea and said, "Thank you."

Xu Chuan left, and Andre and Fefferman continued to communicate in the room.

"It seems that we will welcome another talent in the near future." Andre smiled and drank the tea in the cup, then frowned: "This is really not good, it is far worse than our coffee."

Fefferman glanced at the closed door and said, "I hope, Professor Xu is a real genius. If he can continue on the academic path, his future achievements are expected to surpass Gauss or Newton."

He was a little puzzled by Xu Chuan's performance today. In his impression, Xu Chuan was quite a person with his own ideas, basically not entangled, but today he was a little twisted.

But he didn't think too much about it. After all, immigration is a big matter, and it's normal to be entangled and hesitant.

Of course, he is not Andre's lobbyist. It doesn't matter to him whether Xu Chuanjia joins the United States. It is impossible to expect the Americans to have a strong sense of family and country.

This is the most typical immigrant country, and he himself is not a traditional American, his parents immigrated from the Germanic country.

Xu Chuan is looking forward to joining the United States, and the NS equation may be solved with him; it is normal not to join, not everyone is willing to immigrate.

Andre was a little surprised, and said: "You really think highly of him. The previous Schulz was just the successor of Grothendieck, surpassing Newton and Gauss. Can he afford it?"

Fefferman nodded seriously, and said: "He is better than everyone I have ever seen, and may be able to promote the development of the times."

Andre shrugged and grinned: "But if it's not in our great country of America, it doesn't make any sense."

In the elevator, Xu Chuan squeezed the tea leaves in his hand with a smile on his lips.

The price of the bag of tea in his hand is probably not cheap, at least four or five figures. Because even if he doesn't drink much tea, he can clearly feel the difference between the cup of tea just now and before.

It's such a waste to leave such a good thing to the Americans.

In one exchange, I earned a bag of tea, which was not bad, but I didn’t lose anything anyway.

Bringing the tea, Xu Chuan returned to the hotel in a happy mood.

This year's International Mathematical Congress is two days away, and some other things should be arranged.

Back at the hotel, Xu Chuan called the two mentors of Princeton, Deligne and Witten, and made an appointment to meet at a place.

"Have you decided yet?"

Opposite the venue where the International Mathematical Conference was held, in a coffee shop, Deligne looked at Xu Chuan and asked.

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, I have decided to go back. After this International Mathematical Conference, I will leave."

"As for my four students, I will tell them. If they are willing to go to Huaguo with me, I will still take them with them. If they want to stay in Princeton, I will trouble you, my mentor."

Deligne nodded and said: "This is not a problem, but you and Fefferman are not working together to study the NS equation? Now leave, what about the NS equation?"

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "The NS equation is not so easy to solve. If it is simply to prove that its solution exists and is smooth, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope after I have worked with Fefferman for several years, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to calculate its solution. It cannot be done in a short period of time.”

On the side, Wei Teng asked curiously: "Are you planning to go back and preside over Huaguo's joining CERN?"

He knew that Hua Guo joined CERN, and Xu Chuan still had a lot of credit for it.

Although his time at CERN was not long, his performance was quite impressive.

Whether it is the solution to the mystery of the proton radius or the method of using mathematics to calculate the energy level channels of physical particles, they are both hot topics and world-class problems.

Xu Chuan shook his head, and said, "I shouldn't be responsible for this. These things have nothing to do with me. At most, when I need to do research, I can go to Huaguo's channel to apply for the right to use LHC and other equipment."

"Then what are you going to do when you go back?" Wei Teng asked in surprise, he thought Xu Chuan went back to preside over matters related to CERN.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "On the one hand, we should continue to study mathematics, and on the other hand, we might expand to the field of physical materials."

"When I was studying at Nantah University in China, my supervisor was a researcher in the field of physical materials. I am still very interested in this aspect."

In front of Deligne and Witten, Xu Chuan didn't care to reveal his future development.

Although these two people are scholars from the United States, they basically don't participate in political affairs. In his previous life, he was eager to go back. Deligne and Witten have always been helping to persuade and support.

Some scholars in Princeton are relatively pure, unlike people from Harvard and Yale, many of them have some political views.

Including Fefferman, who brought the director of the immigration office to look for him before, actually didn't care about this aspect.

This has something to do with the core of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study since its establishment.

This is a research institution that brings together the best scholars in various fields to do the purest cutting-edge research without any pressure from teaching tasks, research funds or sponsors.

Hearing this, Deligne raised his eyelids, looked at Xu Chuan and said, "If you still want to study mathematics, Princeton is actually a very good place."

"If you are worried that some people will interfere with you, then there is no need. The people of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton have always come and gone freely, and have never done anything."

Xu Chuan smiled, the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study is indeed the case, but the United States is not necessarily the case.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Deligne sighed and said: "Forget it, you have always had your own ideas and are very firm; but I still want to say, even if you go back, I hope you can focus on In mathematics, don't waste your talent."

Xu Chuan nodded vigorously, and said seriously: "Don't worry, mentor, I will move on."

"Go, I'll chat with Witten for a while." Deligne waved his hand. He knew the character of his student, the kind who wouldn't look back after making a decision.

It's just a pity that if he goes back, the academic environment in that country may not be as good as that of Princeton. I don't know how far he can go in the future.

He has been teaching for decades, and he has seen many outstanding Huaguo international students. When he was in Princeton, these students showed outstanding talents and even made a lot of achievements, but after returning, he rarely heard of these people. news.

I have to say, this is a very regrettable thing.

I just hope that this student can avoid those things and go further academically.

After meeting with the two tutors, Xu Chuan called the four students over and talked about his plan to return to China.

"Teach, professor, are you going back?"

Hearing this news, the four students were stunned, and they opened their mouths for a long time without speaking. In the end, it was the older Roger Dean who came back to his senses and asked first.

This thing is really shocking.

None of the four thought that their mentor would run away.

After all, the four of them never felt any desire to leave Princeton in Xu Chuan during the several months together.

Moreover, after Xu Chuan left Princeton, what should they do?

Is it a very cheating thing for a supervisor to resign and run away while studying for a Ph.D.?

You need to consider and weigh various factors yourself, including where you want to graduate from, will your degree and credits transfer to a new school, what this new university will be like, the financial and personal academic impact of this, etc. plant something.

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm ready to go back to China."

"As for you, don't worry; if you are willing to go to Huaguo with me, I welcome it. After all, you have also studied with me for several months."

"If you want to stay in Princeton, you can choose one of Professor Deligne and Professor Witten, and they will both accept it. I have already told them about it, and they are willing to accept you."

"Of course, if you have other ideas in your mind and want to follow other mentors, you can tell me and I will help you find them."

"It's the beginning of August, and it's Princeton's fall admission. I don't think it will delay you too much."

"After all, you followed me to study, and what you learned was some basic knowledge. You didn't participate in any scientific research and experiment projects, and you haven't finalized it. Presumably, many instructors are willing to accept you."

Hearing this, Gu Bing, Sha Xi, Roger, and Amelia looked at each other, not knowing how to make a choice.

They never thought that during their Ph.D. studies, they would encounter such a thing as their supervisor resigning and running away.

Moreover, these solutions proposed by Xu Chuan are also difficult for people to choose.

It was a very good choice to go to Huaguo with Xu Chuan. After all, their mentor is now a Fields Medal winner, and he is the kind who breaks records.

Moreover, following a tutor to transfer schools is considered the "best choice" by most people in the academic world.

The culture of academia sets the expectation that graduate students should be willing and happy to do whatever their advisors expect.

This idea comes from many sources.

For example, your mentor has invested in you and is willing to continue to invest in you; or you have established a good communication and guidance method with your mentor, and it will be easier to stay with them for future study and research; or you should be willing Make any sacrifices to advance your career, appreciate what your mentors have done to you, etc.

But this option also has some drawbacks.

For example, moving to a new school will bring greater living pressure and financial costs to students. Examples include readjustment of partners, social and cultural changes, changes in cost of living, and changes in tuition fees.

Especially now, their mentor is going back to China from the United States. The customs and habits of the two countries are completely different.

In addition, the second choice given by Xu Chuan is to stay in Princeton to continue studying, which is also a very good choice.

As Xu Chuan said, it is the fall semester of Princeton, and they would not enroll until this time, but it was because of Xu Chuan's request that they came to study in advance.

Secondly, Deligne and Witten are both Fields Medal winners, especially Deligne, who is also Xu Chuan's tutor, and he learns from the same professors, so he doesn't have to worry about future learning.

As for Wei Teng, the four of them also knew that this was left by Xu Chuan to Amelia, after all, she was studying physics before.

As for the other professors at Princeton, the four basically didn't think about it.

Who else in Princeton could be better than Deligne or Witten?

I'm afraid not.

Even Fefferman is at most comparable to the two.

The four are very tangled and don't know how to choose.
