Rebirth of science and technology academic master

December 6, Beijing Airport

When Qin Yuanqing got off the plane, a special car was already at the airport to pick him up. Qin Yuanqing did not go through the exit passage, but took the special car directly at the airport and returned to Shuimu Shahe Campus.

By this time, except for some scattered parts, the Shahe campus has been completed. The three connected lakes in the middle add a third of beauty to the Shahe campus.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky, and the ground is covered with a thin layer of snow. It can still be seen that students are walking around the campus instead of staying in the heating of the classroom.

Entering the laboratory, he was immediately greeted by a heated environment. It was so warm that Qin Yuanqing couldn't help but take off his coat. The cold in the north is different from the cold in the south. The cold in the north is dry and cold, and it is cold outside. There is heating indoors. It’s not cold, and there are many people wearing shirts indoors.

The south is different. The south is damp and cold, especially in coastal areas. The dampness and coldness are even more obvious, and there is no heating. There is no escape from that kind of coldness. When it is really cold, you will get cold even if you hide under the quilt.

Therefore, boys from Southern University sometimes like winter, because in this way the two of them can hide under the covers and keep each other warm.

Qin Yuanqing learned about the laboratory. After a new round of expansion, the number of people in the two laboratories, the Chemistry Laboratory and the Life Laboratory, has reached 500. It can be said that the gold content is no less than that of the Automotive Engine Research Institute and Aerospace Engine Research. hospital.

Different from the laboratory, it is not that difficult for the two research institutes to win the Nobel Prize, because the two research institutes actually belong to engineering applications, and it is almost difficult to win the Nobel Prize for engineering applications.

The two research institutes did not produce particularly outstanding experimental results in the past month, and only produced a few papers, which is the norm for laboratories.

The results of the laboratory are all based on accumulation, continuous burning of funds, continuous trial and error, and constant trying of luck. Maybe at a certain moment, luck will burst and the results will be discovered.

However, the research institute in Long Province has made extraordinary achievements in the past year, planting a total of 100,000 acres of afforestation, so that in the coming year, desert-resistant vegetation will cover those 100,000 acres.

One hundred thousand acres of trees are planted in one year. If we keep this pace, it will take less than eight years to plant trees in the entire Yuwei County. This is next door to 750,000 acres of desert. There is no doubt that this will be a feat.

However, Qin Yuanqing also knows that with the same manpower, material and financial resources, the efficiency will decrease the further it goes, because now these 100,000 acres are close to the water source, so it is much more convenient to obtain water, but the further away from the water source, the more difficult it is to obtain water, and the difficulty will increase.

Even if the vegetation is drought-resistant, it does not mean that it does not need any water. Without water, it will still wither and die.

Qin Yuanqing contacted Yan Ning and others, but it turned out that Yan Ning and others asked for leave. The relatives and friends they invited to attend the Nobel Prize dinner were all in the capital and were accompanying them to visit the capital. Qin Yuanqing can understand their feelings. After all, the Nobel Prize is the most valuable award in the world and the most well-known award. Every winner hopes that his relatives and mentors can participate and share this honor.

Qin Yuanqing was a bit miserable this year because he was alone. His parents and wife had already participated and were no longer enthusiastic about it.

Qin Yuanqing reminded them not to forget the flight time tomorrow, and then went around the various groups in the laboratory and went to the Institute for Advanced Study to meet his students. He had been away for nearly a month and ignored these students. Asked, thinking about it I feel a little sorry for them.

It is precisely because of this that when the school's admissions office began to recruit graduate students and doctoral students, Qin Yuanqing only said to recruit one mathematics graduate student and one mathematics doctoral student, which was once again lower than before.

"Hello, boss!" When the students saw Qin Yuanqing coming, they quickly came over to say hello.

Because they used to stay in the Automobile Research Institute, these students followed each other and called Qin Yuanqing "big brother" just like the people in the Automobile Research Institute.

After chatting with the students, I found that these students have made some progress. These guys have very strong self-learning ability. After thinking about the problems they don’t know, they still hit a wall, so they will go to those mathematics professors for advice. Mathematics professors would not directly consult Perelman and Witten.

This is what Qin Yuanqing has been emphasizing to them, being thin-skinned is not enough, and being thick-skinned is not enough.

The same goes for learning!

"Hey, Qin, you finally showed up. I thought you disappeared from the world!" Witten held a cup of coffee in his hand and looked at Qin Yuanqing with a smile.

Qin Yuanqing had not appeared for almost a month, and he didn't know what he was doing, but Witten didn't ask. He knew that at this level, everything involved was national secrets, and he wouldn't tell anyone even if he asked.

"Witten, you old guy is still not used to drinking tea. Let me tell you, tea is the real happiness in the world. Come on, call Perelman, and I'll treat you to tea." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile. : “I don’t know if Perelman has solved the Riemann Hypothesis!”

"You guys, if you throw a few formulas to Perelman and let him immerse himself in them, Perelman, I would have gone crazy." Witten said angrily: "But those few The formula is indeed beautiful, and maybe it can really solve the Riemann Hypothesis. Once the Riemann Hypothesis is proven, the entire mathematical world will truly usher in a golden age."

In recent years, with the emergence and strong rise of Qin and Yuanqing, it was like a catfish in a pool of stagnant water, causing a catfish effect, making the mathematics community unprecedentedly active in recent years, ushering in a golden age, with more papers produced every year than in the previous century. In the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, the number of papers more than doubled every year, and many of them were of extremely high quality.

For example, Tao Zhexuan proved Kramer's conjecture at the beginning of the year. Kramer's conjecture was proposed by Swedish mathematician Harald Kramer in 1937. It has a history of 80 years and is the most difficult among mathematical problems. Superior, on the same level as the twin prime conjecture.

The Mathematics Report was held at Zhejiang University, which really made Zhejiang University shine in the mathematics community. It also made people more amazed at the strong rise of Chinese mathematics and has become a pivotal force in the world of mathematics.

What makes people even more speechless is that China's universities seem to be wealthy masters, waving banknotes crazily to seduce the world's top mathematicians. At least twenty of the world's top mathematicians have joined Huaxia universities.

"Come on, Perelman, Witten, this is the tea from my hometown, Dahongpao!" Qin Yuanqing took out a pack of Dahongpao. Of course, this is not the mother plant Dahongpao, but it is also the best Dahongpao, and it costs nearly a pound. million.

"We in China are the hometown of tea. The tea in my hometown has a history of nearly a thousand years. In ancient times, only emperors and empresses could drink the top-quality Da Hongpao." Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

Perelman took a sip and showed a comfortable expression: "I rarely visited China before. I only knew that China was an ancient and civilized country. However, in my mind at that time, China was poor and backward. He’s the disobedient little brother under Big Brother!”

"After coming to China, I realized that China has achieved miraculous development in the past thirty years, which is no worse than Europe and North America. Moreover, the speed of development has not slowed down, but is still accelerating." Perelman said : "In addition to economic development, China also has an intoxicating atmosphere of civilization. Food, tea, ceramics, silk, etc., all exude a strong atmosphere of civilization. I don't think any country or nation can compare with the importance that China attaches to education." Up."

Witten curled his lips and said: "I don't deny that China has made great achievements, but I don't agree with the education you mentioned. I think such education is a huge waste of social education resources. In fact, we all know that, Social progress is not driven by the people at the bottom, but by people at the middle and high levels. The elites of mankind are the trendsetters of history. The people at the bottom just follow the trend. The universalization of compulsory education, the establishment of so many high schools, and the training of so many college students have actually produced The benefits are not huge.”

"If we concentrate our efforts on elite education, then some universities in China can enter the top 20 famous universities in the world. I think university education must be an elite education like the United States, and geniuses should receive the most resources to cultivate." Witten even more Respect American education.

Looking at the top 100 famous schools in the world, the United States has an absolute advantage. Among the top 20, the proportion of famous American schools is even higher. Among the top ten famous schools, the United States alone has five! There is no doubt that the top four are all famous schools in the United States.

As a result, social elites have been cultivated, and students trained by the prestigious Ivy League schools in the United States will be valued no matter where they are in the world.

Qin Yuanqing was noncommittal. Now Americans are still immersed in their past glory, but they don't know that society has changed. Just when they are implementing happy education and elite education, China's technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it won't take long for China to catch up with America. Moreover, China The United States is larger and has a larger population. To put it bluntly, relying on the engineer dividend, the United States does not want manufacturing to return, because multinational companies and international capital are profit-seeking.

The one with the most cost-effectiveness is Huaxia. If the factory is not located in China, the products manufactured cannot compete with Huaxia brands. Huaxia products are priced at one-third of European and American brands, and there is still profit to be made. However, if European and American brands are Reducing the price to one-third would be a dead end.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in the world now, relocating the factory to China is the only way to survive and make money, while staying elsewhere will only lead to death.

Of course, China's economic model is still subject to various criticisms. No Nobel Prize in Economics has been able to analyze China's economic miracle from theories and models. Fukuyama's theory of the end of history is now constantly being criticized by Chinese scholars and netizens. corpse.

China's economic miracle continues to slap the theories of Nobel Prize winners in economics and destroy their theories, but no one can explain or admit it!
