The top student must be diligent

Xiao Yi raised his head, and when he saw that it was his student, he nodded with a smile and said, "You are back to school so early?"

For graduate students like Liang Qiushi, it basically doesn’t matter if the semester starts or not. After the semester starts, it doesn’t matter even if they come a few days late.

That is to say, the situation of mathematics graduate students is a little special. Unlike most other graduate students who need to consider employment, they need to consider various issues such as internships.

After the vast majority of mathematics graduate students complete their master's degree, they must consider whether to continue studying for a Ph.D. or directly change careers.

A master's degree can help a mathematics student thoroughly understand whether he or she has the ability to study mathematics. If so, then continue studying for a Ph.D. If not, the experience of studying mathematics over the years can also help him in other fields. The industry is doing relatively well.

Of course, students like Liang Qiushi, who can be considered a mathematical genius, naturally plan to continue studying for a Ph.D.

Liang Qiushi nodded and said helplessly: "Well, staying at home is really boring, and my mother dislikes me all the time, so I think I might as well go back to school."

Xiao Yi laughed immediately, this is so true!

Which student has not been disliked by his parents when he was at home?

This genius has experienced it all.

Although when he stays at home, he spends most of his time on research and is completely "doing business." But probably because of this, his family members often tell him to go out and do more activities.

But in fact, his physical condition was excellent. When he went for a physical examination, the doctors said that he was very healthy and did not even have the sub-health status common to many other scientists.

Soon, Xiao Yi stopped smiling and asked, "By the way, how is your paper going now?"

His three graduate students are now in their third year of graduate school, and this semester is their last semester, so they are very close to receiving their graduation thesis.

At most, there are only about four or five months left.

Therefore, we must also work hard to finish the graduation thesis.

Upon hearing this question, Liang Qiushi's face became slightly troubled, and finally replied: "At the moment... there are still some problems."

"Oh? Do you need guidance?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Well..." Liang Qiushi shook his head after thinking for a moment and said, "It's not necessary yet. I plan to think about it myself first."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly.

In the past few years, Liang Qiushi has also published several papers, and as the research becomes more in-depth, the depth reflected in the papers becomes more and more like a mature mathematics scholar.

Arguably the most outstanding of his three students.

Being able to stick to the idea of ​​independent thinking is also very good, and his mentor still expressed support.

Of course, he still had to remind: "Anyway, you have to submit the final draft before June. If you can't complete it after that, be prepared to delay the completion."

Liang Qiushi wasn't worried at all. He smiled and said, "The extension is over, so just treat it as one more year of staying with the teacher."

Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, waved his hands and said: "Don't do this with me, leave early. If your graduation is delayed, be careful not to get my letter of recommendation."

"Hiss~" Liang Qiushi gasped immediately: "So cruel?"

For graduate students who plan to study for a Ph.D., a recommendation letter from their supervisor is very important. If there is no recommendation letter from their supervisor, it will be difficult to choose a doctoral supervisor, and it may even affect employment issues.

Just like Zhang Yitang back then, he almost lost his job after graduation because he didn't get a recommendation letter from his instructor, and he even had to clean dishes for a long time.

Xiao Yi smiled harmlessly and said, "That's how cruel he is."

Liang Qiushi twitched the corner of his mouth and finally said: "Okay, I surrender. I will complete it as soon as possible."

"Well, okay, you can go and do your own business now." Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then gave another instruction: "Oh, and don't forget to tell the other two that they must graduate as soon as possible. Bring out the paper."

Then he turned back and continued to think about the problem he was thinking about before.

However, after thinking for a while, he noticed that Liang Qiushi next to him did not walk away, so he asked doubtfully: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Liang Qiushi chuckled, and then asked slightly curiously: "I just want to know what you were thinking about just now? Is it about nuclear fusion?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled. He knew that this boy would ask about nuclear fusion.

After all, before the holiday, Liang Qiushi and others probably did not expect that nuclear fusion would suddenly be realized, and it was also realized in the hands of their mentor.

In the past few years, although Xiao Yi spent most of his time at the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research Institute, they did not dare to think that nuclear fusion could achieve such a thing at the beginning.

After all, they can indeed figure out the difficulty of realizing nuclear fusion by searching for information on the Internet, so they also know more clearly how high the material requirements for nuclear fusion are.

This creates a strange situation, that is, people who don't understand this aspect at all may still trust Xiao Yi's ability and believe that he can do it, but the more people understand this aspect, the more I don’t think Xiao Yi can achieve it.

Therefore, when the three students learned that their tutor had actually created this thing, they were shocked.

Good guy, this instructor on their stall seems a bit too extraordinary, right?

Wasn't he just a math master who solved a few mathematical conjectures before?

How did he suddenly become the father of controllable nuclear fusion?

As a result, during the Chinese New Year, they posted several messages in their WeChat Moments to express their opinions. [I don’t know how my mentor suddenly came up with nuclear fusion, and I never thought that I would suddenly become a bastard. He is a disciple of the father of nuclear fusion, I hope everyone knows it], [Yes, that’s right , I have a mentor who is the father of controllable nuclear fusion], [It’s so annoying, why do I study mathematics? I really want to learn nuclear fusion from my mentor, the father of controllable nuclear fusion] etc., So much so that people in their circle of friends were stimulated by their Versailles.

Of course, what Xiao Yi was thinking about was really not nuclear fusion.

“I was just thinking about what math problem I should study next.”

He pointed to his head and said.

Liang Qiushi was stunned and said, "Study...what mathematical problem?"

"Look, controllable nuclear fusion has been solved. Now I should find something to relax myself, right? So I am going to study a mathematical problem or something, but the problem now is, should I study a little something? The difficult conjecture is still a slightly simpler theoretical question.”

Xiao Yi patted his head with a tangled look on his face.

To be honest, he is actually willing to try even if it is a millennium problem.

After all, his BUFF level has now reached LV7, and he also wants to know what it will be like to try to solve a problem of the Millennium Puzzle level again with a 26-fold bonus.

Liang Qiushi: "..."

Liang Qiushi fell silent after listening to his mentor's words.

Can we still have a good chat today?

When you say this, don't you think it's a bit exaggerated?

Just solved nuclear fusion and want to relax with a math problem?

Not to mention, God has to either solve a difficult conjecture or study a simple theoretical problem.

When did theoretical issues become simple?

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

You are probably the only one in the world who can say this.

After all, he is probably the only mentor in the world who can engage in high-end research such as controllable nuclear fusion, and also has considerable achievements in theoretical mathematics.

For a time, he once again felt the gap between himself and his mentor, not just in scientific research.

On the matter of Versailles, there was also a gap between him and his mentor.

Finally, he took out his mobile phone, operated it for a while, and said, "Teacher, please repeat what you just said."

Xiao Yi: "What?"

"I have to let Chen Muhua and Sun Yuan listen, not just me."

Liang Qiushi said.

Xiao Yi shook his head speechlessly, threw his hands, and said angrily: "Go aside, don't disturb me to think about the problem, and go study your thesis."

"Last question! Last question!"

Liang Qiushi quickly gave up the idea and shouted quickly.

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "Tell me."

"I read on the Internet that you are now the general counsel and chief scientist of the newly established National Energy Administration and a fusion company. Is this true or false?"

Liang Qiushi asked very curiously.

Although this matter has been spread, no one knows whether the private news is true or not.

But obviously, everyone can predict how high the status of this general administration company will be in the country in the future.

Just refer to the State Grid directly.

The State Grid is only responsible for power transmission, not power generation. As for power generation, it is mainly divided into several large companies. However, looking at it now, as controllable nuclear fusion power stations spread across the country in the future, there is a high probability that this national fusion company will not Smaller than the National Grid.

And people with a discerning eye can also see that if foreign countries have never developed controllable nuclear fusion technology, they will have no choice but to negotiate with China. If an agreement is reached, there is a high probability that the National Fusion Corporation will be able to go abroad to build nuclear fusion reactors. reactor, and then make money by generating electricity. By then, I am afraid that countries all over the world will become customers of the National Fusion Corporation.

As for the State Grid Corporation of China, although it has participated in the investment and operation of power projects in more than a dozen countries abroad, it is only in a dozen countries, and it will not be enough for more countries.

Of course, most countries are unwilling to leave the construction and operation of power grids to other countries. Otherwise, just the data related to electricity consumption can reveal a lot of secrets, not to mention the process of building the power grid. , there are too many places to pass through, it is easier to discover some secrets.

Therefore, the National Fusion Corporation alone already has endless prospects. As for the newly established unit of the National Energy Administration, according to its functions, it seems that it can not only manage the National Fusion Corporation, but also the State Grid. This is also In order to be able to coordinate and manage two relatively independent but inseparable systems of power generation and power supply in the future.

In addition, it will also be responsible for the full-time management of all domestic energy policies. This may seem to be less powerful than directly managing the two major companies, but in fact it is more critical. After all, there are too many things related to energy.

Energy, as something that directly determines the version of the industrial revolution of mankind, is destined to involve all aspects, whether it is energy development planning, such as the development decision of new energy and old energy, or the overall planning of domestic energy layout, or detailed plans for the import and export of energy materials, as well as the management of various energy sources such as nuclear power, thermal power, wind power, and hydropower, etc., will all be under the jurisdiction of this Energy Administration.

It can be said that the influence of the Energy Administration will be greater, even involving the whole world.

At least, as the world's largest energy country, the Energy Administration of this country does have such capabilities - when the controlled nuclear fusion technology is realized, China is the first.

As for who will be at the helm of this company in the future, no one knows yet, and there will probably be another round of gambling. However, people are more concerned about the position of the lifetime general consultant who has been confirmed. After all, the word "lifelong" means that no matter how many people change the helmsman, the general consultant will not move.

For Liang Qiushi, it means that his mentor is not just an ordinary university professor, but a super boss in such an important position.

Although this position does not have any specific rank, after all, his professor did not take the civil service examination and is not at the level of a civil servant, but it sounds no worse than an academician, right?
