Rebirth of science and technology academic master

Tsinghua Garden!

Qin Yuanqing was walking with Mr. Yang, and Ms. Weng followed.

Mr. Yang, who is 102 years old this year, still seems to be in high spirits. He is not much different from when he attended the celebration of his 100th birthday held specially for him by Shuimu University two years ago.

At that time, he delivered a speech with the theme "I hope people will live long and share the same journey thousands of miles". During the speech, his thinking was OK and his speech was clear. In his speech, we can feel his extraordinary friendship with Mr. Deng and his magnanimity about life.

Even though he was very busy at the time, Qin Yuanqing personally attended Mr. Yang's 100th birthday and presented a gift to this centenary physics master.

In the world of physics, there are very few people who can live to be 90 years old, and almost none who can live past the age of 100.

"I heard that you are going to attend the Quantum Physics Society and give a report in person. Unfortunately, I am old now and can no longer fly. Otherwise, I would also like to be there and listen to your report." Mr. Yang said, as There are great masters all over the world, and Mr. Yang is also very well-informed.

Qin Yuanqing nodded slightly, understanding this very well. Mr. Yang used to stroll around Tsinghua Garden from time to time, but after his 100th birthday, he mostly stayed where he lived, watering the flowers in the small yard, which became more and more common. The less you go out of the small yard.

As for taking a car or flying, this is already a high-risk matter for Mr. Yang. Unless it is particularly important, no one is willing to let him take such a risk.

"When I was working on controllable nuclear fusion some time ago, I had some new thoughts on quantum physics, and I wanted to share them with you!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile.

The quantum concept was first proposed by Planck in 1900, and it has been more than 110 years ago. During this period, through the innovative efforts of many physics masters such as Bohr, de Broglie, Born, Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, and Einstein, a complete set of quantum mechanics theory was initially established by the 1930s. .

After so many years of research and improvement, quantum physics has become an important supporting theory for studying the microscopic world and a tool for studying the structure of the microscopic world. It also plays a huge role in in-depth study of the microstructure and special physical properties of macroscopic objects. The series of special physical phenomena about the microscopic world that scientists observe when studying atoms, molecules, nuclei, and elementary particles are called quantum phenomena.

Controlled nuclear fusion naturally involves microscopic aspects. The reason why controllable nuclear fusion originally faces many problems is that there are still some problems in existing quantum physics. If these problems are not solved, it will be difficult to solve engineering problems. century application issues.

"We have high-level quantum physicists in China, and they are basically concentrated. This is somewhat detrimental to a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending. Every quantum physics seminar of the Physical Society is not taken seriously. I still remember that I attended a seminar 20 years ago. , but the questions the participants asked me made me dumbfounded." Mr. Yang said as if he recalled the scenes he attended the Quantum Physics Society 20 years ago.

At that time, he happened to be going to Fudan. He knew that the Quantum Physics Society was held in Fudan, so he went to attend the Quantum Physics Society temporarily and gave a report.

Unexpectedly, the physicists who participated in the Quantum Physics Society were all scholars with very average abilities, and the questions they asked were almost the same as those of undergraduates from some well-known overseas universities.

"Such a situation did not happen overnight. The main reason is that other universities do not pay enough attention to quantum physics!" Qin Yuanqing said.

Many universities focus on other areas of physics and often underestimate quantum physics. In fact, it is not understood that although quantum mechanics was created to describe the abstract atomic world far away from our daily experience, its impact on daily life is extremely huge. The fascinating advances in chemistry, biology, medicine, and every other critical discipline would not have been possible without quantum mechanics as a tool. There would be no global economic science without quantum mechanics, because the electronics revolution that is a product of quantum mechanics brought us into the computer age. At the same time, the photonics revolution has also brought us into the information age. The masterpiece of quantum physics has changed our world, and the scientific revolution has brought good news to the world!

It can be said that quantum physics has a unique status. Quantum theory is the most accurately experimentally tested theory in the history of science and the most successful theory in the history of science.

Quantum mechanics deeply troubled its founders. However, until today, when its essence was expressed in a universal form, the scientific elite, although recognizing its great power, remained dissatisfied with its foundation and basic interpretation. . Therefore, quantum physicists are still working tirelessly to study quantum physics and improve some theories of quantum physics.

"Your research on controllable nuclear fusion has indeed reached an astonishing level. I used to think that it would take at least fifty years for humans to achieve a substantial breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion. However, you failed Conquered." Mr. Yang said with emotion.

He knew very well that although China was originally ranked first in the world in terms of controllable nuclear fusion, it was still far behind Europe. At that time, whether it was ITER or 'Helix Stone 7-X', China's controllable nuclear fusion was looked up to. .

Qin Yuanqing was indispensable for China's ability to leapfrog other countries. It can be said that Qin Yuanqing was the core, and other researchers only served as Qin Yuanqing's help.

Not to mention Qin Yuanqing's other academic achievements, Qin Yuanqing is enough to rank in history and be called one of the greatest physicists simply by leading mankind from the petrification era to the era of controllable nuclear fusion!

On this day, Qin Yuanqing took a plane to Lin'an!

The last time he came to Lin'an was several years ago. Lin'an is the core of Zhejiang Province and has been a prosperous place in the world since ancient times. There is the West Lake here, and talking about the West Lake makes people think of "The White Snake and Xu Xian" "A Thousand Years of Waiting" and the Leifeng Pagoda.

The most famous institution of higher learning in Lin'an is Zhejiang University. Even though Shi Yigong established a university next to West Lake and has the qualifications for master's and doctoral programs, even if Shi Yigong vowed to surpass Zhejiang University in five years, there is still a huge gap until now. distance.

Unlike other institutions of higher learning, this university implements a completely Western-style education, a true elite education. Anyone who can enter this university will receive a lot of resources for cultivation.

It caused a big sensation at first, but after a few years, people suddenly discovered that it was not as good as the legend, and then there was acclimatization!

this is the truth!

If you copy it to China without combining it with China's actual conditions, you will be acclimatized!

"When oranges grow in Huainan, they become oranges; when they grow in northern Huaibei, they become oranges. The leaves are similar, but the actual taste is different. So why? The water and soil are different!"

As early as more than 2,000 years ago, the ancestors of China already understood this truth. Unfortunately, today, some people still do not understand it and are still obsessed with the myths constructed by others.

As soon as Qin Yuanqing arrived at the airport, he experienced the enthusiasm of Lin'an and the enthusiasm of Zhejiang University.

First, there was an airport announcement, which represented Zhejiang Province’s warm welcome to Qin Yuanqing and wished Qin Yuanqing a pleasant few days in Zhejiang Province.

Then when Qin Yuanqing got off the plane, he saw the leaders of Zhejiang University coming to pick him up in person. The president of Zhejiang University was so enthusiastic that Qin Yuanqing was a little embarrassed.

"Academician Qin, this way, please get in the car!" The president of Zhejiang University first introduced several others to Qin Yuanqing, then invited Qin Yuanqing to get into a car and personally opened the door for Qin Yuanqing.

Qin Yuanqing also saw the soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying guns at the airport.

Even when he arrived at the hotel, the hotel's security measures were taken over by the special department. Qin Yuanqing checked into the hotel and left his things in the hotel.

Seeing that the hotel was well prepared, Qin Yuanqing suddenly regretted it. Before, he only wanted to attend the Quantum Physics Society seminar to promote the development of quantum physics nationwide. However, a simple society seminar turned out to be like this. The cost of the entire seminar was estimated to have doubled. Not even ten times more.

In fact, Qin Yuanqing still underestimated the impact of his participation in the quantum physics seminar. As the quantum physics seminar spread the news that Qin Yuanqing would participate in this quantum physics seminar and give a report, it immediately caused a stir in the field of physics. It was a big shock. Well-known physicists who originally disdained to participate in quantum physics seminars shouted to participate with shy faces, completely forgetting who said not long ago that they were too busy and might not be able to spare time to participate.

As a result, the standard of the entire Quantum Physics Society seminar has been greatly improved, and thousands of well-known quantum physicists came to Lin'an from all over the country.

The human, material and financial resources invested by Zhejiang University have also increased significantly. For example, although the meals are all arranged in the cafeteria, the menus in the cafeteria and the level of the chefs in the cafeteria are different.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as one of the influences brought by Qin Yuanqing. Qin Yuanqing insisted on eating in the school cafeteria. After so many years, almost colleges and universities, high schools and other schools, no matter where they come from, arrange to eat in the school. And once you eat in a hotel outside, it will cause a lot of criticism. Even the principal cannot bear the power of this criticism.

Qin Yuanqing checked into the hotel. Instead of visiting the beautiful campus of Zhejiang University, he picked up his laptop at the hotel and began to prepare the report for tomorrow's seminar.

Qin Yuanqing pondered for a moment. His work report time is one hour, and the communication session time is half an hour, so the topic of the report chosen is very important. If it is too advanced, no one will be able to understand it. If it is too shallow, no one will be able to participate. Quantum physicists who attend the conference will find it meaningless to attend the conference.

Therefore, Qin Yuanqing had to grasp this level so that people could hear and understand it clearly, but not too superficially.

Qin Yuanqing finally chose the mathematical analysis of particle energy, which would make most quantum physicists feel that the trip was worthwhile.
