God's Crown

Dial the number, and when the other end of the phone receives the call, he speaks quite concisely, "What's the matter?"

From the voice on the other end of the phone, he knew that he and Professor Benson were old acquaintances.The tone was very flat, as if he had expected the professor to call him, "If it's about the twin prime numbers on arXiv, you don't need to say it, I'm checking the results now."

"Did you find his process interesting?"

"Yes, the process is indeed very interesting." The person on the other end of the phone said ponderingly, "But now the academic circles still have some objections to this, and it will take some time. This is especially true for conjectures like this. In time, the academic community will not generally admit that this conjecture is truly solved."

"Perhaps, we can try to ask some experts in this area to check the calculation." The voice on the other end of the phone was particularly cold, "Of course the experts in this area, Jian Lie Xinxi, may already be checking the calculation."

"You are also an expert in this field."

"You know, although I won the Fields Medal, my professional field is in topology, algebra, and geometric space. It is similar to yours. In terms of number theory, their informatics and mathematics are better. I feel much better."

"Do you think he can get into Princeton?"

"A graphene experimental result is enough for him to enter Princeton University for further study. This twin prime number conjecture has proved that he has no less than Ph.D knowledge, to be honest. Even if he comes to Princeton University for further study, he can learn There are not many. The most important thing is to rely on himself. At this stage of his life, there is actually no knowledge to teach him. What he needs is academic research and a good academic research environment.”

"Wei Teng, are you satisfied with the disciple I gave you?"

"It's not a matter of my dissatisfaction, old man, you may not have read him. I don't think he will come to Princeton University. I think he is more inclined to Stanford University."

"Really? So will Princeton send him an invitation?"

"Of course, as for which school he will choose, it depends on his own needs. Naturally, we at Princeton cannot let go of a gifted student. I even think it is only a matter of time before he wins the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize. "

"Not quite there yet."

"I'm curious, what exactly will his graduation thesis be?"

…………

Naturally, An Yan did not know about the conversation between the two.He just finished calling Professor Li Bo and put down his phone.Looking up at the sky outside the window, he took a deep breath.During more than a year at the University of Zurich, he was not in school for almost half of the time.After finishing this subject, he has to graduate.

He firmly believes that this subject can be done.Although the road is tortuous, the future must be bright.Relying on his self-confidence and fearless character.He is confident that he can do a good job of this thesis and make it an excellent thesis, not just a graduation thesis.

I'm going home soon, and the tutoring in Anyang is actually almost all reading by Anyang himself.In many cases, An Yan just explained to Anyang the methods of learning and ideas for solving problems, so that Anyang could think on his own.He felt that Anyang was not stupid at all, it was better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish.

Anyang can also study by himself now, since he can't make a turbulent flow model now, he can only study problems about number theory.This problem seems to be more difficult than the twin prime number conjecture. At least An Yan discovered an interesting phenomenon during his research, but he still couldn't quite figure it out.

After thinking about it for several days, it was time for them to go home.An Yan sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the car window, still thinking about this matter.

Liu Shan said to An Yan, "An Yan, how many days are you planning to stay at home after you go home? I remember that you didn't go to school until March or April? Can you stay so long this year?"

"Shouldn't stay for such a long time." An Yan thought for a while and said, "I still have some things to do when I go to Beijing University, which will have a great impact on my graduation."

"Don't worry about Xiaoyan, you must know what he is going to do." An Zhi said while driving, "Let him go and do things by himself."

"Alright." Liu Shan sighed lightly, but in fact she was still a little reluctant to have a banquet.After all, An Yan's time to go home is getting less and less, it's only been a while since he's been home, and he's going out again.In the future, there may be fewer and fewer opportunities to meet An Yan. Both she and An Zhi know that An Yan's path is definitely not a business path, but a path of scientific research.Since I want to embark on the road of scientific research, I will definitely have less and less time to go home.

If An Yan is on the road of doing business, then they can often see An Yan.But now that An Yan is engaged in scientific research, they don't understand it. An Yan will definitely stay in the laboratory all the time, and it is quite difficult to meet him once.

Just like the current situation, An Yan had to go to other places not long after returning home.They don't know what's going on, and they don't know what to do.

An Yan didn't know what his parents were thinking, his only thought now was to quickly do what he should do well.Now the problem of prime numbers has not been completely solved, and the turbulence model cannot be dragged on.It seems that since he went to college, he has been very busy.There is no goal in the early stage, it is completely busy.Now I have a goal, but the time is running out.

He wanted to be a physicist, and he had to fight for that goal.Now it's just the beginning. I want to be a physicist, especially a great physicist, a great physicist like Einstein.Just at the current level, even in 100 years, he will not be a great physicist.So he has to work harder, even more than before, to achieve his goal.

Once the goal is set, it is natural to work hard in that direction.There is not much time in life, only a few decades.If you spend one more day, you will lose one day.

He can't wait to go to Peking University to start his own research now, but he still has a lot to do after returning home.

For example, Gu Weize, and other things such as New Year's greetings are waiting for him.

At least he had to stabilize Gu Wei, so that he could start his own research without any worries.

"Xiao Yan, where are you going to live in the capital?"

"It should be the same as before, let's stay in a hotel." An Yan thought for a while, it seemed that he had no other place to go besides the hotel.

But this time, no one will reimburse him, so he can only pay for it himself.Fortunately, his scholarship has not been used much, it should be enough.By the way, I have to check the email that Professor Constantine sent him after returning home. I haven't heard from Professor Constantine for a long time. I don't know if Professor Constantine forgot about it.A few days ago, he was busy working on the twin prime number conjecture, but he forgot about Professor Constantine.

Now that I'm back home, although I don't have much time to study the turbulence model, he must read Professor Constantine's email first.

"Will you leave after returning?"

"No, I should stay at home for a few more days. I still have some things to deal with. Another professor sent me an email. It has been delayed for a while. I should send a message to that professor. .”

"That's fine, you plan your own affairs, and when you grow up, your parents won't say anything about you. You can think about how you will go in the future, as long as you live well." Father It seems that An Yan is very supportive of her own affairs.

After returning home, An Yan sent a text message to Gu Weize, saying that he had already gone home, and did not know if he had returned.

Turn on the computer, sit in a chair and log in to email.Under the blue and white light, An Yan opened his email.Several emails were sent by Professor Constantine.

Looking down, the editorial department of NatureReviewsMaterials also sent him an email.

An Yan was stunned for a moment, when did the efficiency of the NatureReviewsMaterials editorial department become so fast?Submitted to them years ago, this process usually takes seven or eight months, or even longer.Why did you text him back so soon?With doubts, An Yan turned on the computer.

Seeing the approved content in the email, I froze for a moment.Isn't this a little too fast?Is it because graphene is currently receiving more attention, and NatureReviewsMaterials has moved forward the review cycle that originally took months or even a year to one or two months for the sake of sales?

This efficiency, this speed.It would be wonderful if his submissions had this speed.Originally as a researcher, his academic life was not particularly long.A person's life is only a few decades, and the mind and energy of researchers will gradually become powerless with the growth of time.

Therefore, the golden time for researchers is really not much, and if you want to make more achievements during this time, you must be famous to be able to get in touch with more good projects and research.Otherwise, how could an unknown researcher come into contact with some top projects.

People at the level of Nobel Prize winners are different from the projects that an ordinary scholar comes into contact with.Not to mention, in the entire academic circle, the more famous you are, the more projects you are exposed to, and the easier it is to produce more results.

There is some truth in the saying that one should become famous as early as possible.

Of course, the academic world is not the entertainment circle, and one cannot become famous just by being high-profile. The academic reputation of the academic world requires solid academic research to be famous.This is also the fundamental difference between the entertainment circle and the academic world. If you don't have a real level, no matter how high-profile you are, how many people brag about it, it will be useless.

Will only be treated as a clown.

After thinking about it, An Yan still couldn't figure out why the editor of NatureReviewsMaterials emailed him the manuscript so quickly.It seems that the professor who reviewed the manuscript was also very fast, but unfortunately this is a unilateral review system.That is to say, the reviewers know whose paper it is, but An Yan doesn't know who the reviewer is.

An Yan is very satisfied with being published in a very professional academic journal like NatureReviewsMaterials.

After closing the email sent by the editor of NatureReviewsMaterials, An Yan opened the email sent to him by Professor Constantine again.He wanted to know what was going on with the data that Han Qiu mentioned——

At this moment, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Could it be that Gu Weize is here?Going home so soon?Why didn't you tell him when you got home?An Yan muttered in her heart.

Liu Shan opened the door and saw Gu Weize standing outside the door and said beamingly to her, "Aunt Liu, Happy New Year."

"Yo, Xiao Gu, how do you know we're home, An Yan told you? Come, come, come in and sit down." Liu Shan warmly greeted Gu Weize to come in and sit down.

Gu Wei looked around after entering the door.An Zhi walked to Gu Weize's side and said, "Are you looking for An Yan? It's in my room, what's the matter?"

"Then, can I go and see An Yan?"

"Go, go, you children go play by yourself." An Zhi waved his hand, and Gu Wei ran to An Yan's room in a hurry.As soon as he opened the door, he saw An Yan staring at the computer intently.

"An Yan." Gu Wei called An Yan, and found that he didn't respond, so he walked in.Seeing that An Yan was reading an e-mail, because the e-mail was all in English, he didn't understand what was on it at all.In addition to English, it is numbers.But with these numbers, he didn't know what An Yan was looking at.

Helplessly sitting next to An Yan, Gu Wei did not disturb An Yan, just quietly accompanied An Yan.

After reading the email from Professor Constantine, An Yan breathed a sigh of relief.These data are obtained according to their own mathematical models, and this is not like the data of graphene batteries, but more like the data obtained from other experiments using graphene.What kind of experiment to do, An Yan has not thought of yet.

But what he can be sure of is that it must be another high-tech product experiment.Finally, Professor Constantine asked An Yan if he was interested in doing this experiment together.

In fact, An Yan was a little moved, but he had too many things during this time.Looking at the detailed data Constantine sent him, An Yan knew that Professor Constantine had probably achieved some results.He was adding it at this time, and he didn't look like holding his cheeks. He thought about the words for a while.After rejecting Professor Constantine's invitation, he opened other emails.He was surprised to find that both Princeton University and Stanford University had sent him invitation letters.He was invited to study for graduate school, and he was guaranteed free tuition and a scholarship.

The scholarship given was quite generous, An Yan pondered for a while.

In fact, Professor Witten was right. An Yan never thought about going to Princeton University.He has always wanted to go to Stanford University, but he has not graduated yet, so he has not considered these issues.He is planning to apply to Stanford University after graduation.

What he didn't expect was that Stanford University sent the invitation letter first.

Since there is such a good opportunity, it is definitely impossible for An Yan to reject Stanford University.He first sent an email to ask the professor who emailed him from Stanford University what he needed to prepare to study at Stanford University.

Originally, it took a few days for one to get a reply, but after a while, an email was sent over there.He only needs to go to Stanford University for in-depth study and academic research after graduating from the University of Zurich.And he can choose the professors of the Department of Physics and the Department of Mathematics by himself.

Of course, this choice is a two-way choice, and it is possible that you chose someone else.But others don't want to accept you, and it is also possible that others want to accept you, but you don't want to study with him.

With a smile on his face, An Yan felt that all the suffering he had suffered before was worth it.Because the bitterness he had suffered before has become sweet now.

Of course, there will be more unexpected situations later on, but An Yan doesn't know yet.

Gu Wei looked at An Yan staring at the computer, smiled slightly, and asked curiously, "Xiao Yan, what are you laughing at? You are so happy."

"Have you?" An Yan touched his face, "Did I smile happily?"

"Yes, I'm very happy." Gu Weize and An Yan met each other's eyes, and their faces turned slightly red in an instant.Gu Weize placed his hand gently and carefully on An Yan's shoulder. Seeing that An Yan had no objection, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Yan, what were you happy about just now?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Stanford University sent me an invitation letter." An Yan said with a smile, "I may be going to Stanford University for my postgraduate studies."

"When." Gu Wei was not surprised at all, he knew that An Yan would definitely be able to go to the best school.Although he didn't know what kind of school Stanford University was, but the name sounded quite tall.

"Probably September this year." An Yan thought for a while, "After graduating from college, I can go to Stanford University to study as a graduate student in the Department of Physics."

"This...so fast?" Gu Wei has been in college for more than two years and nearly three years, but he has only reached his junior year. If he wants to graduate, he has to wait until next year, but An Yan has only been in college for less than two years. , Are you about to graduate from university and go to graduate school?Is this too fast? Originally, Gu Wei thought that he would come out to work earlier than An Yan, and even save some salary for An Yan as pocket money, but how could An Yan graduate from university earlier than him? ?

This plot is a bit wrong, there must be something wrong, right?I don’t dare to write like this in novels, I’m not afraid of being scolded by readers!

"But Xiaoyan, you haven't been in college for two years, have you?"

"Didn't I tell you before? My professor gave me only two years to graduate from college. By June, it will be almost two years. I have to finish my graduation thesis before June, and I have to go to Participate in the dissertation defense."

"So, Xiaoyan, have you finished your thesis?"

"Not yet. I have to go to the capital in a few days. There is a laboratory at Beijing University, and I have to go to that laboratory to do experiments." An Yan said in a serious manner, while Gu Weize's eyes did not stop turning around.
