From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

At this time, the three people were looking at Lin Xiao with admiration.

Chen Mingkai: "Professor, my admiration for you is like a torrential river flowing!"

Zhao Guodong and Li Min: "Me too!"

Chen Mingkai: "That old B Deng withdrew his previous plan just because of you, you are my master!"

Li Min and Zhao Guodong: "Me too!"

Chen Mingkai: "I..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking."

Lin Xiao was speechless and waved his hands to stop them from continuing.

He wasn't proud of this matter, he just felt puzzled, did the other party compromise?

Not even a joke?

He originally thought that the other party would come to a negotiation anyway, such as asking them not to carry out the research and development of those semiconductor materials, and then they would cancel the plan, or asking them to purchase semiconductor raw materials from foreign companies if they produced chips. Than wait.

As a result, all these wranglings have not gone through now, and the other party has been subdued.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, which makes him always have some bad guesses and worries in his heart.

In the end, he still shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, turned his head and glanced at the three students who were still next to him, and said angrily: "Okay, don't squeeze next to me, have you finished reading today's paper? And Chen Mingkai, you can choose the topic of doctoral dissertations in other disciplines as early as possible, but for our doctoral dissertation in mathematics, you still have to decide which direction to choose as soon as possible, don't wait until you finish your Ph.D. The graduation thesis has quality requirements, at least it must be able to be published in the second district."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the three of them suddenly showed helpless expressions.

Although being able to become Lin Xiao's graduate students has proved their excellence, but thinking about the past achievements of the man in front of them, all kinds of mathematical conjectures seem to be played by him.

So God knows how demanding their dear Professor Lin is for their graduation thesis.

In case they are also asked to try to prove those well-known mathematical conjectures, they should wait until the end.

Unless Professor Lin taught them to write all the proofs by hand.

Looking at the appearance of these three guys, Lin Xiao guessed what they were thinking, and said: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do too difficult topic selection, but at least it must be better than your level." For papers of a higher level, I have read your previous papers and know your general ability, so I will not ask you to do such difficult topics."

The three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, one level higher?

That's fine, even if it's two levels higher, it's not unacceptable to them, anyway, just don't go higher than the atmosphere.

"Also, it's rare for me to come here today, so if you have any questions, please ask me as soon as possible. Of course, I will basically have nothing else to do for a while after that. If there is no accident, I will come here every day. However, if later When I have other things to do, it will be difficult for you to see me again."

Hearing this, the three of them immediately moved.

The three enrolled in September this year. After enrolling, because Lin Xiao was working on the final problem of the X-ray project, he rarely saw them except for a meal at the beginning of school.

So Lin Xiao directly entrusted them to Xu Ji, and asked Xu Ji to help teach when he was not at school.

When Xu Ji was approached by Lin Xiao, he laughed and scolded him directly: "Are you treating me like a little boss?"

Postgraduate tutors are called big and small bosses. The big boss is the tutor, but if the big boss is busy, he will hand over the students to the small boss to help guide them.

Of course, despite what he said, Xu Ji naturally didn't refuse, and he treated them as mentoring his disciples, and as an academician, it's no problem for him to teach these three people.

Of course, the three of Chen Mingkai definitely hoped that Lin Xiao would teach them in person. After all, they applied for Lin Xiao's postgraduate study for Lin Xiao's sake.

So as soon as Lin Xiao told them to hurry up and ask questions, they immediately found all kinds of questions that they hadn't remembered before and asked Lin Xiao.

The first is Chen Mingkai. Chen Mingkai is a doctor. His research direction is algebraic geometry. He is quite confident in choosing this direction. After all, algebraic geometry is one of the most difficult mathematics directions. If he dares to study this and make achievements, then he must be talented Yes, and his question is certainly not simple.

He asked: "Professor, look, why is the univariate a on domain A determined by its root set X?"

Lin Xiao glanced at a paper he brought over, and casually glanced at what he said, um, it was indeed difficult, but it was for Chen Mingkai, and he gave the answer directly without thinking too much: " The root set X is the geometric object of the inner system, that is to say, from the general logic, the basic correspondence is that, based on the correlation of the zero-point theorem, the algebra is introduced to...well, to capture the geometry of the 'cluster' objects, and the problem itself should be discussed within the category of geometry."

Then he directly found a piece of paper and began to write.

"We give such a form to define..."

[For complex number fields A, D: N-dimensional complex projective space, which is the total set of all complex straight lines passing through the origin in C^(N+1)]

"Each point above can use homogeneous coordinates [x0, x1...xN], and then..."

[[x0, x1...xN]*K, K≠0...]

"So we can think of them as the same point."

"Back to your question just now...well, I've already said this, you should understand, right?"

Chen Mingkai nodded again and again, Lin Xiao had already explained it in detail, if he didn't understand anymore, he would be ashamed of his status as the first disciple under Lin Shen's seat.

"I understand."

"Well, it's good if you understand it. I just cited the simplest situation. Then you can describe it with mathematical logic and give me an example by the way." Lin Xiao immediately took the test of his students.

Chen Mingkai also knew that this was the first time that he, a master mentor, tested himself, so he touched his chin and began to think. After a while, his eyes lit up and he replied: "About the homogeneity of x0...xN The set G composed of polynomial 0 points is our research object. The mapping between these objects described by a family of polynomials is a morphism. Well... For example, if there are two objects E, H, say X, Y are isomorphic , is actually equivalent to having a morphism F: X->Y, G: Y->X, so we can know that FG=ID, GF=ID.”

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and praised: "Yes, you answered very well, and your talent is still very good."

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Thank you professor, I don't have any for now, leave it to the juniors."

After receiving the professor's praise, Chen Mingkai also showed a smile on his face, and after speaking respectfully, he turned around and gave way to his two juniors.

As a doctoral student, he has a lot of questions. Of course, although there are many questions, it is necessary to conduct research by himself, so unless it is such a problem that he has been thinking about for a long time and does not know how to solve it, he will try to ask his supervisor. Others Yes, he's on his own.

Next, it was Li Min who started to ask. Li Min studied algebraic number theory.

"Why is the multiplication structure of the Z ring that each non-zero integer can be expressed as a unique number of prime powers and ±1 multiplication?"

Having a relationship with number theory is naturally Lin Xiao's strong point. Hearing this question, he said directly: "If you study this, I recommend you to read a book, "Algebraic-Number-Theory", written by Jurgen Newkirch's book, 1999, you can read the second volume in it, you will be able to understand it better, I also recommend you to read this book carefully."

Li Min was taken aback, but Lin Xiao didn't expect that Lin Xiao would directly give him the title of the book.

Admiring Lin Xiao's wide range of knowledge, he asked the next question.

During this process, Lin Xiao naturally displayed the demeanor of the so-called Lin God, basically answering every question, and almost always answered their questions without thinking.

In this way, the three students all received a careful explanation, returned to their positions, and started researching.

As for Lin Xiao, he picked up his phone and saw a message he had received.

Zheng Ronger's parents, Zheng Cheng and Xu Yan, were successfully transferred back to the Shanghai National Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics because of the paper published in "Science". In order to thank him, they will invite him to dinner in the afternoon.

In this regard, Lin Xiao naturally sent a congratulations first, then thought for a while that he had nothing to do, and said that he would go on time.

Afterwards, he sat in his office, enjoying this leisure time with nothing to do.

Chapter 314 Research on superconductivity?

In the afternoon, Lin Xiao came to the eating place and had a meal with Zheng Ronger's parents.

For this meal, Zheng Cheng and Xu Yan thanked Lin Xiao in every possible way.

If Lin Xiao hadn't notified them in time to post the proof of Lin's conjecture on arxiv, otherwise they might not have gotten the paper on superconductors.

Because this thesis itself is a possible direction they found in their previous projects, and after Zheng Cheng discovered it at the time, he concluded that as long as Lin's conjecture can be proved, he can complete a thesis that can be published in Science and Nature.

It's just that at that time he didn't think that Lin's conjecture could be proved in a short period of time, so he shared this matter, and there were other people doing the project with them, so they all knew this .

So if they didn't know that Lin Xiao had proved Lin's conjecture and announced it in time, if they were later, they might have to be snatched away by others.

In that case, they would not be able to return to Shangjing to work as they wished, let alone the National Laboratory of Condensed Matter Physics.

"Professor Lin, thank you so much! We are not drinkers, so Xu Yan and I will replace wine with tea and offer you a toast first!"

Zheng Cheng and Xu Yan raised their teacups to thank Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hands, raised his teacup to touch them, and after taking a sip, he said with a smile: "It's not necessary, it's not necessary to say everything, just thank you a few times before."

"Hey, it must be necessary, so you don't need to say more."

Zheng Cheng put down the tea cup with a smile, and poured it for Lin Xiao again. This restaurant is considered a relatively high-end restaurant, and the tea is not cheap at all.

Then the two casually chatted a few words, and Zheng Cheng couldn't help but express his congratulations to Lin Xiao for leading Huaguo to successfully develop a lithography machine, and by the way, he also expressed his congratulations to the fact that Lin Xiao's words made the United States abandon the original plan some time ago Fan admired.

"Let me tell you, the two academies will select you as an academician next year. The Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering will select you as an academician of the two academies."

Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessarily the case. Being an academician is very popular."

After Dingguang Research Institute came out, there were quite a few people who hated him.

After all, the funding that his research institute can apply for every year is equal to the sum of ten research institutes.

And the amount of funding is so much every year, it can be said that if any research institute has less funding, it basically comes to him.

In addition, research institutes can also cooperate with each other, so many academicians have approached him to cooperate before. The condition of cooperation is naturally that they fix the research institute to provide funds and then share the results.

But the final results actually belong to the country, and the person in charge of the project belongs to others, so the final title is naturally also from others.

How could Lin Xiao agree to such a thing?

With those funds, it is better to leave them to the researchers of their research institute. At least, the people in his research institute are all first-class researchers, and they might be able to produce better research results.

So from this aspect, Lin Xiao has offended these academicians again.

In addition, not to mention that he rejected a large number of people who wanted to use their connections to join the Dingguang Research Institute.

There are too many people offended, and those people have mixed relationships in the academic world. If you want to become an academician, you need to vote. At that time, those who do not deal with him can justifiably veto it if they say that he is still too young. Him, don't vote for him.

So for now, Lin Xiao has never considered that he can become an academician, let alone an academician of the two academies. There are so many academicians in Huaguo, and there are only more than [-] academicians who are also academicians of the two academies. .

Hearing Lin Xiao's answer, Zheng Cheng was taken aback for a moment, shook his head, sighed, and turned to talk about other things, "I won't talk about this, but it's really disgusting that you haven't been judged for the Nobel Prize this year."

Lin Xiao shook his head and didn't care, "You see, I have all the lithography machines out now, do I still dare to attend the Nobel Prize award ceremony?"

Xu Yan next to him couldn't help asking: "I haven't heard of anyone being arrested for attending an awards ceremony."

Lin Xiao smiled, but did not answer.

Zheng Cheng answered for Lin Xiao: "Professor Lin is not one of those ordinary award winners. Just relying on Professor Lin's words a few days ago to make the Americans withdraw their plan, this is considered a strategic effect."

Lin Xiao laughed again, and then said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these awards or not, first eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables."

Then several people continued to taste the dishes of this high-end restaurant.

When he was about to eat, Lin Xiao suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, how is your research on superconductors going?"

"The research status of superconductors."

Zheng Cheng spread his hands, "It's still half-dead. Now we haven't figured out the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Even now, there are fewer people studying superconductors than before. Condensed matter physics, although superconductors are the biggest project. , but no one can see the hope of success, so a lot of people have switched to other materials."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smiled: "That's true."

"Hehe, Xu Yan and I also felt that there was really nothing to study, and wondered whether we should change the direction. For example, there are quite a lot of researches on Bose-Einstein condensate. This stuff is very interesting. In June this year, " Isn’t there a paper in Science that used Bose-Einstein condensates to create a continuous time crystal.”

"That paper, I've heard it too."

Lin Xiao nodded. The term time crystal is not unique to fantasy novels. It also exists in physics. In short, this thing, Poincaré regression, and closed class curves are all regarded as the end of the universe. and start.

Xu Yan said at this time: "However, after Professor Lin came out with your theory of electronic topological bonding, there are now quite a lot of people studying superconductors, especially topological superconductors."

"In the past, there were relatively few people who studied topological superconductors. Originally, a large number of people were studying superconductivity under high pressure, as well as that magic-angle graphene. After your electron topological bonding theory appeared, it became topological superconductivity. It brings a certain theoretical basis."

Lin Xiao nodded: "I know this too, and that's why I asked you this matter."

Zheng Cheng couldn't help showing surprise: "Professor Lin, are you now interested in superconductors again?"

Lin Xiao shrugged: "Anyway, it's okay for the time being, and it's okay to study it."

Zheng Cheng smiled and said, "Then it seems that we have to change direction as soon as possible. If this problem falls into Professor Lin's hands, it might be solved after a while."

Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing, "This is a superconductor, but it doesn't mean that it will be successful if it succeeds."

Zheng Cheng said very decisively: "Damn, you have produced such things as RDX pure silicon crystals, and superconductors, maybe you have also produced them. You know, the whole world wants to know how RDX pure silicon crystals are made. from."

Xu Yan next to her looked at her husband like Lin Xiao's fanatical fan, and shook her head helplessly.

Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hands: "These two are not the same thing, and they cannot be discussed together."

Of course, in his mind, RDX pure silicon crystals and superconductors should be comparable in research difficulty.

After all, RDX pure silicon crystal needs a wave coherent superposition equation to play a role in it.

However, having said that, superconductors, especially high-temperature superconductors and room-temperature superconductors, are really difficult to study.

Among them, as long as the room temperature superconductor is born and the production cost is low enough, the energy structure of the whole world will undergo tremendous changes.

After all, energy is a sign of a civilization level.

Of course, superconductors can only be regarded as energy transportation technologies. However, since electric energy is the most important form of energy in today's human society, superconductors can transport electric energy without loss, so its importance goes without saying.

Thinking about it, Lin Xiao frowned, and asked in his heart: "How many truth points are needed for the system, room temperature superconductor material and preparation method, and the cost is within an acceptable range?"
