I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 408 The Coming Harvest Season

Faltings interrupted Professor Wiles rudely: "I said, old man, isn't it too much for you to openly poach people in our Princeton University site?"

He looked at Qin Ke, with a smile on his Germanic stern and serious face: "Young man, if you are willing to come to Princeton University to study for a doctorate, I would be happy to write you a letter of recommendation. Pierre Deligne I mentioned you just now, and I am very interested in you, he is an authority in algebraic geometry, and has a lot of research in the direction of number theory, if you want to continue to develop in the direction of number theory in the future, he will be a very suitable mentor."

Pierre Deligne, the prover of Weil's conjecture, the disciple of "Algebraic Geometry Emperor" Grothendieck, the grand slam of Fields Award, Craford Award, Wolf Award and Abel Award The winner is a mathematician who will not be below Faltings in the international mathematical community regardless of qualifications and level.It is the dream of many people to become a student of Deligne.

For Qin Ke, with the system in hand, all theoretical knowledge is not a problem, and there is no need to study abroad to join such a big boss.But Qin Ke felt the kindness of the two, and said sincerely: "Thank you two professors for their appreciation, but I have never thought about studying abroad. I am still a freshman, and I want to continue my two years of undergraduate studies at Qingmu University." .”

"Undergraduate? My God, your current level of mathematics is more than enough to study for a doctorate. What else do you want to study for undergraduate?" Professor Wiles frowned: "I really can't understand your decision. In my opinion, this is a complete waste of time .”

The old man has high morals and high prestige, and Westerners are not used to talking around the corners like Xia people, so he spoke very directly.

Qin Ke felt that he had good intentions, and smiled immediately: "I majored in physics as an undergraduate. Although I may go further in mathematics now, I will eventually return to the direction of physics."

"Physics? You go to study physics with such an excellent mathematical talent? Well, physics is inseparable from mathematics. Mathematicians can often achieve excellent results in physics, but physicists may not be able to make achievements in mathematics, oh, Edward Witten was an exception."

Wiles shrugged and said: "That guy has been working on string theory in physics for decades and failed to win the Nobel Prize, but he won the Fields Medal... I suggest you don't follow his detours and develop in the direction of mathematics. , you will be closer to the Fields Medal..."

Wiles, soon to be 70, still has a clear mind, but like most old people, he likes to babble.

"Thank you, Professor Wiles, but studying physics is also my interest and ambition. Rather than polishing tools, I prefer to use tools to create new things."

"Hey, OKOK, since you've decided, I won't nag, but my invitation is still valid. When you want to study at Cambridge University, just send me an email. My email is..."

Qin Ke hurriedly took out his mobile phone and asked Shimmer to record the email address of Professor Wiles.

"Young man, do you really intend to study for another two years?" Professor Linden-Strauss asked next to him.He approached for a while, and naturally listened to the conversation of the three of them.

"Yes, my supervisor said, let me get in touch with various subjects as much as possible during the two years of undergraduate study, and expand the breadth of knowledge, which will be beneficial to the in-depth development of physics in the future. After this semester of practice, I I think this is indeed the case, after I have been exposed to literature, art, biology, chemistry and other subjects, I will always come up with some ideas and ideas from time to time."

Faltins next to him gave him an approving look: "That's right, it is necessary to expand your knowledge when you are young. I am curious who is your mentor. Can you come up with such a theory instead of Guide you in the professional direction from the very beginning, I believe you should be a very knowledgeable and qualified professor.”

"My advisor is academician Jiang Weixian of Xiaguo Qingmu University, in physics."

"Jiang Weixian? Is he one of the most representative contemporary physicists in Xia Kingdom? He has profound knowledge in physical materials and fluid mechanics." Another unfamiliar voice joined the topic.

Qin Ke turned his head and looked at the old professor with a pie-faced face and glasses who came to him. Before he could ask, Academician Wang Xiaoyun next to him introduced him: "This is the Edward Witten you mentioned just now. .”

Qin Ke was moved.

Another Philippine award boss!And he is a boss who is excellent in physics and mathematics at the same time!
Qin Ke has heard of his name for a long time. This is the top authority on string theory. Unfortunately, the current detection technology is limited, and the string theory in one-dimensional space cannot be verified or confirmed whether it really exists, so Edward Witten has no chance. The Nobel Prize in Physics, but even so, when it comes to the best physicists in the world today, no one can ignore this big guy who is currently teaching at Princeton.

It is not surprising that such a boss has heard of Academician Jiang Weixian, who is also a boss in the physics world.

"It turned out to be Professor Witten, who has known his name for a long time." Qin Ke stretched out his hand and shook Professor Witten's extended hand.

Professor Witten is also kind, he said with a warm smile: "Miracle boy of the Xia Kingdom, I have also admired your name for a long time. The school has been talking about you for the past two days. Today's report is very exciting. In addition , I have met your tutor, Academician Jiang, and he is indeed a very good physicist. It seems that I can't persuade you to come and study string theory with me."

For a while, there were big bosses on Qin Ke's side, and other professors and scholars with low positions did not dare to approach easily, let alone those foreign ladies.

Qin Ke chatted happily with several big bosses, and the big bosses mentioned the top academic trends in the world from time to time, which opened Qin Ke's eyes.

But the bosses were all very busy, chatting with Qin Ke for more than ten minutes and then dispersed.

Before leaving, Faltings turned back and said: "By the way, young man, when will your report today be compiled into a paper and submitted to our "Annals of Mathematics"? I believe many people are looking forward to your "Lime Number Theory Fourth Order" Transformation method'."

"I will as soon as possible."

"Okay, the review time may be longer this time. After all, the content of your report today is too important. At least five experts need to review it before it can pass. I will carefully review it again."

Faltins said without giving up and asked: "You really don't consider coming to Princeton to study for a Ph. room for development."

Princeton University is one of the richest U.S. universities, and it pays professors very generously, which is why it is able to wield money to keep poaching well-known professors and scholars from famous schools all over the world.

The arrival of these well-known professors and scholars has further consolidated and enhanced Puda’s status in the world’s academic circles, and cultivated more outstanding alumni to give back to the school. This has formed a virtuous circle, which can be said to be the reason why Puda has endured for so long. .

Qin Ke shook his head. He looked out the window and said softly but firmly: "My roots are in the motherland, and the person I love the most is also in the motherland. I will not leave that land."

Faltins nodded with regret and approval: "Next time I have a chance, let me meet your girlfriend too, and I can create the 'Lime Number Theory Fourth-Order Transformation Method' with you, and it will definitely be a very good one. Girl. Her name is 'Ning Qingyun', I remember the name correctly, right? Well, go and enjoy your dinner party, I believe that the students of Pudong University will be very happy to make friends with you tonight."

……

At the end of the banquet, Academician Wang Xiaoyun said with a smile when he parted: "Qin Ke, I will fly to Columbia University to participate in an academic exchange tomorrow morning. Are you returning to China the day after tomorrow? Prepare well after returning to China. You will probably be on stage soon. Acceptance speech."

Qin Ke asked unexpectedly, "An acceptance speech?"

"The Xiaguo Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award is selected every two years. Usually, in February and March after the Spring Festival, two young people who have made the best achievements in mathematics will be selected, and they will be awarded medals and certificates, and a bonus of 10 yuan .Qingmu University should have put your name and possibly your girlfriend’s name on it as a candidate.”

Wang Xiaoyun patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Work hard, young man, this world will soon be yours."

……

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Qin Ke returned to the Peacock Hotel. After drinking a lot of wine, his brain was still a little drunk.

Chern Mathematics Award...

If I remember correctly, this was selected and awarded by the Xia Guo Mathematics Society?
Xiaguo Mathematics Society, it also has another signboard "Xiaguo Olympic Mathematics Competition Organizing Committee", which belongs to a set of two brands. It is said that they are all old acquaintances of Qin Ke. Ke kept in touch.

It is not the first time Qin Ke has won an award. He has won various competition awards and the special prize of the Youth Science and Technology Award.

But those are for students.

Xia Guo's Chern Mathematics Prize is for mathematicians under the age of [-]. The level and meaning of the two are completely different. Thinking of this, Qin Ke is quite excited.

And at this dinner, many people mentioned the Cole Award in August, saying that the voice of his award is quite high.The Cole Award is also a very influential international mathematics award, especially in the field of number theory, which is the top award in the world.

Thinking of the upcoming harvest season, Qin Ke couldn't help humming a nursery rhyme happily.

Seeing that he was about to return to the room, Qin Ke bid farewell to Chen Ming who was following behind, and was about to open the door to enter the room, when a system notification sound came from his ear:
"Ding! Congratulations, you performed well at the Princeton University's annual mathematics academic report, and won the best speaker award issued by the organizing committee with your original new mathematical method. The system assessed the 'grade' as 'S+'," Grades make me improve' function takes effect, your academic points (mathematics) +100!"

It seems that the system gave him a very high evaluation of his performance, and actually gave him a full 100 math points!It was almost equivalent to listening to two or three days of academic reports.

Looking at the system interface again, there are less than 50 points left to upgrade.

Because he fell asleep on January 1th, he didn't go to the report meeting, and missed the opportunity to get points, otherwise the math has been upgraded now.

But thinking that it was less than 50 o'clock, and he got the meeting minutes and PPT of the two-day report meeting for self-study, maybe he could get it, Qin Ke's mood became better again.

Go back to the room and lie down, turn on the phone, the phone is already full of WeChat messages, Li Xiong, Xiang Qi, Ge Zhixing and other good high school friends have sent congratulations and worship, Principal Wen of Yingyuan High School also left a message, half joking and half serious I asked him when he would return to Yuanzhou, and when he came to the school to give a speech, it would also strengthen the prestige of his alma mater.

Qin Xiaoke has the most news.

"Brother, what are Zhou's conjectures and Bu's conjectures, what are they? Tell me quickly, now I don't know how to brag, so I can only repeat, 'Anyway, it's a very awesome thing. , You don’t understand even if you say it’, it’s very annoying!”

"Brother, brother, did you secretly hook up with other girls behind Sister Ning's back in the United States? Tell me, I will never tell Sister Ning."

"Also, brother, I'm about to take the final exam, and I'm a little short in several subjects except mathematics. When will you and Sister Ning go home... Mom and Dad miss you very much."

Of course, most of them are sent by college students, all kinds of messages such as "Squad leader, you are so handsome", "Squad leader, you are our pride", "Squad leader, have you reached the state of ascension and overlooked all living beings" and so on.

Ning Qingjun sent not many messages, only a few, and the last one was: "Qin Xiaoke, you gave me such a 'scare', how do you think I will punish you? (Laughs)"

　Thanks to "Ganmei", "Pig Who Doesn't Like to Climb Trees", and "Niu Niu with Big Ears" for their rewards!
