Ultimate Scholar

"I will apply for graduation for you."

When Li Mu said these words, the three of them were stunned involuntarily.

Applying for...graduation?

They really never thought that one day they would be able to hear the news of graduation in such a short time after enrolling.

Often, this kind of treatment usually only happens to senior leaders in academia.

For example, Newton, von Neumann, and the professor they taught, Andrew Wiles, received his doctorate just three years after graduating from the undergraduate program.

Of course, they have not forgotten at all. The person in front of them is a very conspicuous example.

Li Mu obtained his doctorate in less than a year after graduating from his undergraduate degree. Although this matter is not of much concern in the academic world, when people look up Li Mu's information, they will still be surprised by the speed of graduation. Be amazed.

Such world-famous bosses graduate much faster than ordinary people.

And now, maybe it's their turn?

Although if they graduate now, they will only graduate with a master's degree. They will also need to study for a doctorate.

All three people were a little surprised.

"This...professor, is it true?"

Li Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw their surprised expressions, and asked: "Do you still find this matter difficult to imagine?"

"You think Artin's conjecture is a very simple question?"

"That's not true."

"How can it be!"

The three people shook their heads.

Just kidding, conjectures that are somewhat famous in the mathematical community are not easy to solve.

Because it is famous, it means that this conjecture has existed for a long time, and its long existence means that this conjecture has survived strongly after being studied by many mathematicians.

And Artin's conjecture is even more outstanding among them.

According to relevant records, this conjecture was proposed in 1927, and it has a history of 95 years as of this year. There must be quite a few people who have tried to study this problem.

This also further illustrates the difficulty of this problem.

Li Mu smiled and then said, "Isn't that right?"

"If you really solve this problem, doesn't it mean that your actual capabilities have reached a high level?"

"So don't be surprised."

After hearing Li Mu's words, the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and then they all nodded.

"Professor, we get it."

"Um."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and then said: "Then it's decided. If you encounter difficulties, I will provide you with some help, but try not to be too much. I hope that you can rely on your own abilities as much as possible. Complete this question."

"Yes, Professor."

"Of course, although we have made such a plan, we must also have a plan B. After all, what if you give up in the end?"

"So after you go back, you have to think again and set another goal for yourself."

"Yes, Professor."

Several people nodded again.

Indeed, they have now decided to study Artin's conjecture, which can be regarded as a little bit of the impulse unique to young people. If they choose to give up in the end because it is too difficult, it will only be a waste of their time.

"Okay, then you can start preparing." Li Mu said, and then clicked on the three papers next to him: "Of course, don't forget to send out all your papers."

"Anyway, this is three articles and one area."

Several people couldn't help laughing.

Alex also laughed and teased Li Mu: "It turns out that the professor still values ​​​​our first-area papers."

However, in response to this sentence, Li Mu waved his hand and said, "That's not true. I'm just better able to think from other people's perspectives."

"Well……"

The three people who were still laughing fell silent.

So what Li Mu means is...

He really didn't care about these three papers in District 1. He just thought from their perspective and said that these papers were important to them.

All right……

Or they are young.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually quite normal.

Their tutors are the ones who appear in the "Annals of Mathematics" all the year round, and in "Nature" and "Science".

Of course, compared to the silence on their side, the fifth person still existing in the office, the one sitting at another table, had a somewhat resentful look in his eyes at this time.

Again, people's joys and sorrows are not the same, Yuan Siping only feels noisy.

He should be at the bottom of the room, not in the room.

Their papers have all been written, and they are even going to be posted in a section, but now he is the only one who is still reading the papers.

Oh my God, why is this paper so difficult?

Yuan Siping rubbed his hair like crazy.

But at this moment, Li Mu's voice came over: "Lao Yuan."

Yuan Siping immediately raised his head and looked over. Only then did he realize that the other three people had left at some point, and only he and Li Mu were left in the office.

"Hey, Professor, what's wrong?"

Li Mu rolled his eyes: "It's just the two of us now, why are you still putting this hammer away?"

Yuan Siping chuckled and said, "This has become a habit."

"I won't talk nonsense to you." Li Mu didn't bother to say more, then glanced at him and said, "Seeing that Tu Zhizhen and the others have already completed their thesis, are you starting to get anxious? Do you think the task I gave you is a bit too difficult?"

"How dare I!" Yuan Siping denied it repeatedly, but when he saw Li Mu staring at him, he finally touched his nose and admitted: "Okay, a little bit."

"I've been reading your paper for a long time, and I still haven't understood much of it. Although it may be helpful to my topic, but..."

Yuan Siping frowned, "That's really difficult."

Li Mu laughed: "Okay, I also know it's difficult, then just watch this from now on."

As he spoke, he took another paper from the side.

"This seems to be easier for you to understand."

Yuan Siping was stunned, took it over in confusion, and asked, "What is this?"

""Conjugate Model of Dimensional Forces to Electromagnetic Interaction Forces", but special edition."

Li Mu said: "During my return to China, I made some changes to the overall content of this paper, which should make it easier for doctoral students to read."

"So, if it is a special edition, it would be more appropriate to call it the textbook edition."

"You can take a look at this first. I will upload it to my personal website in a few days. You will be the second person in the world to see it."

"It's true or false."

Yuan Siping's look of surprise meant that Li Mu had optimized the entire paper just for him?

He opened the paper and started reading from page 1.

Then he found that the content was very familiar, it was the paper he had been reading for a while, but the steps were easier to understand, including the derivation process, which was also used in clearer formulas.

In terms of understanding alone, the difficulty has dropped several levels.

Of course, this paper still requires the academic level of a doctor to reach a relatively easy level, and although his abilities are similar, he still needs to look at it later.

Just like that, after reading a few pages, the excitement in Yuan Siping's eyes was already overflowing.

"Holy shit, Brother Li, Master Li, I knew you still loved me."

"I love you to death even when I'm riding a horse. My admiration for you is like the endless stream of a river, and like the overflowing Yellow River, it can't be controlled at once..."

He rushed up and hugged Li Mu.

"Okay, okay, you've told me this so many times before, enough is enough, go back and do your own research."

Li Mu slapped him away.

"Okay, little one, let's go now."

After saying that, Yuan Siping left excitedly.

Seeing him like that, Li Mu shook his head in amusement.

But at this moment, the system in his mind sounded.

"The computing power upgrade task is promulgated——"

【Inheritance of knowledge】

[Task introduction: The purpose of education is the inheritance of knowledge, and the purpose of inheritance comes from the limited life of species, so it is necessary to rely on inheritance to achieve the infinite nature of knowledge. Only when knowledge is continuously passed on can civilization become More and more civilized. 】

[Task purpose: To teach four students to complete their results and eventually graduate. 】

Hearing this mission, Li Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Is this a mission..."

Let four of your students graduate.

In this case, the final mission reward will probably be based on how well the four of them complete it.

"It seems like we need to give them some good guidance next time."

It's just that it's more difficult to try not to help them directly, but just to guide them and let them complete it on their own.

Of course, this difficulty mainly lies in the understanding of my four students.

"Why."

Li Mu sighed helplessly.

But at this moment, Yuan Siping suddenly opened the door again and ran in front of him.

"what?"

Li Mu looked confused.

Yuan Siping chuckled, and then asked sheepishly: "Um...didn't you tell the three of them just now that after they really proved Artin's conjecture, you would apply for graduation for them? If my thesis is also completed, , is it also..."

Li Mu reacted, and then waved his hand with a smile: "No problem, don't worry, if you really solve it, I will definitely apply for graduation for you."

"You're just kidding, your results will eventually be published in Physical Review Letters. If you haven't graduated yet, I'd be embarrassed to keep you."

"That's good, that's good."

Yuan Siping laughed again, and then ran away again.

Li Mu laughed and said no more.

The next work is relatively clear.

The first, room temperature superconductors, the second, tutoring four students, the third -

That is to wait until December 10, the day of the Nobel Prize ceremony.

Oh, don’t forget to upload the special edition paper.

A good man will stick to it, and he will make it in three languages, Chinese, English and French.

…

Time passed quickly, and there was nothing major to happen next.

The only big thing to say is probably that after the news about the National Sheshan Institute of Science was announced, it caused a relatively large response in China.

A new institute that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, or the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and its status is completely equivalent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even higher from a certain perspective.

This incident immediately aroused a huge discussion in the domestic academic community. Of course, there was also indispensable opposition, and the opposition was particularly loud.

Zhao Shaocheng, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and honorary president of the Chinese Society of Physics, publicly expressed his opinion: "We cannot grant too great honors and powers to a person simply because of past achievements. Changes in the system will ultimately affect the overall situation. Effect, not to mention, is it really good for a young person to master such a thing?”

Ning Zhiyuan, president of Beijing University, also publicly stated: "Rights correspond to obligations, and they also correspond to contributions. Has Li Mu really made such a contribution?"

Of course, in addition to these two people, there are many people with high status in Chinese academic circles who have expressed their opinions.

However, Li Mu's own connections were certainly not built up. Many people soon came forward, such as Wu Mengyuan, and Chen Shanping also stood up and refuted their principal.

Of course, as Chen Shanping is an academician, he is naturally not afraid of who will be the principal.

After that, universities in Shanghai also generally expressed their support. After all, this research institute will be built in Shanghai in the future. For universities in Shanghai, it will be a resource that they can borrow at that time.

All in all, for the Chinese academic community, this matter can be regarded as a big event that attracted all attention.

However, the opposing voices are basically concentrated among those with high status, scholars with considerable resources in the academic world, or those who have established their own academic circles.

In their view, this new institute will create a larger academic power than themselves and seize resources. Of course, they will oppose it.

However, among the young scholars in China and the successors who are still on the rise, many are yearning for Li Mu's institute.

After all, this is an opportunity to work with Li Mu!

Moreover, this new research institute has invested so much, doesn’t this period mean that they also have a chance?

For a time, the minds of these young scholars began to wander.

All in all, this incident has had a huge effect.

However, for Li Mu, he was not affected at all.

No one dared to come over and call him to scold him. Those people just shouted in public and scolded him in private. He was the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Once the news spread, If he goes out, he will probably only attract more overwhelming curses.

Li Mu still relatively recognizes the fighting power of domestic netizens.

Compared with this matter, his special edition "Conjugate Model of Dimensional Forces on Electromagnetic Interaction Forces" actually concerned him more.

As soon as this paper was published, it attracted additional attention in the physics community. For those scholars who want to study the theory of dimensional forces, this special edition is simply a benefit to the public.

After all, the original paper was difficult to read even for some professors, but now that this paper is available, it is a great help to them.

For a time, the physics community was filled with “Thank you Professor Li” voices.

Even the domestic physics community was pleasantly surprised by his special Chinese version, so much so that some physicists stopped paying attention to the scolding and turned to studying this paper.

This incident makes those scholars who are still openly opposing feel very embarrassed.

We were calling you names and scolding you, but you didn't even take any notice, and you still did good things?
