God's Crown

"That's a coincidence, I will also go back after this society report." Li Bo said with a smile, "Maybe we can still take the same plane."

"Hehe." An Yan sneered and didn't continue talking.He felt that what Professor Li Bo said was nonsense, otherwise.They all want to go back to China, so naturally they have to go back by plane.Otherwise, can you go back by boat?It's really funny, he held his forehead, is this the professor of Peking University?

Of course, if Professor Li Bo faced his students, he would definitely not be so beaten up as he was in front of An Yan.To put it bluntly, Professor Li Bo has nothing to do with An Yan, so if he wants to get closer, he must rely on such tricks.As it is now, although An Yan thinks that Professor Li Bo deserves a beating, it has to be said that the relationship between them has indeed drawn a lot closer.

When we got to the apartment, Professor Li Bo said, "Johnson and I are classmates, but that guy is much better than me."

"Huh?" An Yan listened carefully to Professor Li Bo's words, "What should I say at that time, he was only 22 or 3 years old when he graduated with a Ph. A very powerful person. We went to him today, and we don’t know if there are other professors with him. It can be regarded as a visit to him.”

So what's the point of pulling him away?Do you serve tea and water to the bosses?Probably, after all, the boss is still short of a person who brings tea and water.

After arriving at the apartment, Professor Li Bo opened the door.There was a conversation in the room, and An Yan followed Professor Li Bo into the apartment.This can almost be said to be a villa, and the area is still quite large.There are tea sets on the table, and several professors are discussing while eating dessert.

Professor Li Bo was also polite, and said directly, "Hi, Johnson, long time no see."

"My God, Lee, when did you arrive at Stanford, why didn't you tell me. I can pick you up!"

"My friend, don't you want to give you a surprise?" After shaking hands with Professor Johnson, Li Bo looked at An Yan behind Li Bo.

"An, how was your day yesterday?" The voice sitting at the side was An Yan's somewhat familiar voice. He turned his head to take a look, and recognized that it was Professor Constantine he met yesterday when he was wandering around Stanford University.

"Hello, Professor Constantine." An Yan said with a smile, "Your complexion seems to be much better than yesterday."

Professor Constantine smiled and said nothing, but Professor Johnson looked at An Yan, then at Professor Constantine next to him, and said, "You know him?" When he said this, Professor Johnson paused, "Li, isn't this your student?"

"I am a student of Professor Benson." An Yan bowed slightly to Professor Johnson and said, "Hello, Professor Johnson."

"Professor Benson's student." Professor Johnson smiled awkwardly, "Do you know Professor Li?"

"Professor Li is a professor of Peking University, and I am also from Huaguo. According to the relationship, we should be of the same nationality." An Yan coughed lightly, and Li Bo said at this time, "Hey, this guy is not graphene. Is it not bad?" He looked at Constantine and said, "I heard that he met Constantine yesterday, didn't he?"

"That's right, I did meet Ann at Stanford yesterday." Constantine said frankly, "I think Ann is very talented in physics."

Speaking of Li Bo sat up again, he glanced at An Yan, pointed to the seat beside him and said, "An Yan, please sit down too, all of us are sitting, we look uncomfortable when you stand of."

This gave An Yan a step down, and after An Yan sat on it, he listened to these professors communicate.Silently remember the content of these professors' conversations, all of which are related to physics.

In the afternoon, this group of professors spent almost all their time talking about the future of graphene and quantum field theory.Although An Yan understands a little bit, there is still a lot of knowledge that he can't digest now. He can only keep it in his mind, and when he has learned enough, he will digest what he heard today.

When it was about to get dark, Professor Li Bo returned to the hotel with An Yan, and said to him, "You can have a good rest tomorrow, and the academic conference will start later. After the academic conference starts, you will probably be a little busy." .”

An Yan thanked Professor Li Bo, he still learned a lot today.

An Yan was not idle during the day off, he called Chen Tao and asked if they had returned to China.Chen Tao, who received the call, seemed to be a little noisy on the other end of the phone, "Hello, An Yan, have you returned to China? Call me so soon."

"No, the academic meeting hasn't started yet." An Yan was lying on the bed, the computer was right in front of him, and the video of the academic meeting was still playing.He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I told the professor about the study of twin prime numbers."

"What did Professor Benson say?"

An Yan opened his mouth, he didn't know how to tell Chen Tao about this matter.After researching twin prime numbers, he went to study at Princeton University?Furthermore, they were researched by three people together.No matter who made the final result, the contributions of the other two cannot be erased.

But because of this subject, he went directly to Princeton University. Is it unfair to the other two?

An Yan was still thinking about it, and Chen Tao said on the other end of the phone, "What's the matter? What's the matter? I see you haven't spoken for a long time."

"Ahem, actually there is one thing that I don't know how to tell you."

"Tell me." Chen Tao said on the other end of the phone, "I can handle it."

"That's... what, I'm researching twin prime numbers. If there are results, I may go to Princeton University to study."

"Huh?" Chen Tao froze on the other end of the phone, and said after a long time, "You said you were going to Princeton University, did you get an offer from there?"

"Not yet, but Professor Benson will write me a letter of recommendation."

"The professor over there is not easy to find." Chen Tao's voice became a little serious, "Then have you contacted the professor? Does Professor Benson really agree with you to go to Princeton University?"

"Professor Benson brought this matter up to me, and the professor over there is temporarily connecting with Dr. Witten."

"Dr. Witten?" Chen Tao gasped, "Dr. Edward Witten, a professor of mathematical physics at Princeton University?"

"Yes." An Yan replied, "I don't know how to tell you about this matter. All in all, it's hard to describe."

"Well, that is, as long as you can make the result of twin prime numbers, you can study for a graduate student with Dr. Witten, right?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"That's good. Dr. Witten himself is a very good physicist, and his mathematics is also good. And both mathematics and physics are ranked very high in the world." Chen Tao said with a smile, "You don't Do you think we will be angry? How is that possible? If Liu Song finds out about your going to Princeton University, he will definitely let you treat him. You will be the big boss of Princeton in the future."

"Don't, it's still something that doesn't make sense, and I don't know if it will work." An Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I was thinking about this and let you know first, so that when the time comes...

"The meaning of this sentence is very obvious, so as to avoid any disputes, it will not benefit everyone, and it will hurt the harmony.

"Okay, I wish you a successful academic report!" After hanging up the phone, An Yan touched his forehead, which was covered with sweat.Probably because he was frightened when he talked to Chen Tao just now, no matter what he said about this matter, he felt that Chen Tao should be angry.Originally, he and Liu Song were working on this project, so it was fine for him to join in.And relying on this project to enter Princeton University, whoever it is, will not be able to figure it out.

Even if Chen Tao was angry and scolded him, An Yan felt it was right.Because even if you don't make conjectures about twin primes, you can do other physics-related conjectures, and An Yan is still possible.

It's just that he didn't expect Chen Tao to agree directly, which was somewhat beyond An Yan's expectation.

Originally, they had planned to be scolded, but now instead of being scolded, they were feasted for a long time.An Yan shook her head and smiled, playing with her phone for a while.Turn off the computer and go to bed, wake up the next day, and the academic conference officially begins.

The first thing to start is academic issues. These are things that the bosses need to discuss. As a student, An Yan can only help Professor Benson record.If you meet two professors who have corners of their mouths, or even talk loudly, you can still watch the excitement.I heard that in such a large academic conference, almost every time there will be disputes due to differences in academics.Of course, it is limited to academic disputes.It is still impossible for these big guys to really fight.

Holding her notebook, An Yan came to the meeting site.The bosses started to speak one by one, and An Yan nodded slightly while recording, expressing his agreement with the bosses' point of view.

At first, everything went very smoothly.It wasn't until the academics of the two professors were a little off that they started to argue, and at this time, An Yan didn't make a sound.Carefully watching the two bosses fight each other, the recorders at the back all looked familiar, and some of them stared at the place where the bosses were arguing in a daze.Some people are quietly fishing and playing with mobile phones.Someone was recording the process of the quarrel between the big shots. An Yan put down his pen and listened carefully to the quarrel between the two big shots.

Well, both of them are very reasonable, he doesn't know who he should support better.

At the end of the day, there were not many minutes of the meeting, but An Yan experienced a lot of verbal battles among the bosses.Fortunately, Professor Benson did not speak today, nor did he quarrel with others.

The big guys who are almost doing it are at least 40 to [-] years old, and the big guys who are going up a little bit have silver hair.All of them are well-dressed, but they look like women quarreling in a riot.Hearing this, An Yan was a little dumbfounded, and after giving the minutes of the meeting to Professor Benson, he went back to his room to rest.

The next day, it was still very painful to listen to the bosses arguing in different ways.

It lasted until the fourth day, after the academic report meeting started, the quarrel finally stopped.Of course, it's also possible that An Yan didn't see it. This group of bigwigs should put forward different opinions during the academic report meeting.Then there was another verbal battle and the like, and his academic report was held on the last day of the academic conference.

In the past few days, An Yan went to listen to many professors' lectures, and benefited a lot.

But even so, there are still many professors who quarrel because of academic issues.This made An Yan very embarrassed, obviously he was going to listen to the academic report, and later it almost became a special session for the professors to pick and choose.Do you think you will be so picky by the professor when you give an academic report?His head hurts so much, if he is so picky, he will really collapse.

He is not like these big guys, and he can reply to others very calmly.If you let him say one, two, three, I'm afraid he will really hit someone.

As for graphene, he himself didn't fully understand it, and the question raised by those professors couldn't be just a simple question.With a severe headache, An Yan lay on the chair, thinking about what he should do to complete this academic report.

English is certainly no problem, after all, English is the common language of the world.Especially in academic exchanges, many of them need to communicate in English.

It's just that the content of this report... scratched his hair, he turned on the computer, edited and deleted his thesis, deleted and edited again.

When it was finalized, it was found that it was not much different from the previous papers, and everything he wanted to do was included in the paper.

In that case, he can't control so much.After confirming her manuscript again and again, An Yan turned off the computer, lay on the bed and forced herself not to think about it.

Closing her eyes, An Yan quickly fell asleep while forcing herself to fall asleep.When I woke up early the next morning, I met Professor Benson when I went out.

He said to Professor Benson, "Hello, Professor."

Professor Benson gave a slight grace, and then said, "Ann, how are you preparing for today's academic report? Your report is in the afternoon. I heard that after you finish your academic report, you will go to the airport to return to China, right?" ?"

Originally, An Yan wanted to send the professor on the plane to Switzerland before returning home.However, air tickets have been difficult to buy recently. After asking the professor's opinion, he decided to buy a flight ticket that departed more than ten minutes earlier than the professor.He didn't speak, but stood there quietly, listening to the professor seeming to have something else to say to him.

"Don't forget what I told you. You'd better be able to produce results as soon as possible on the topic of twin prime numbers. Of course, you can't delay the topic of graphene. By the way, Ann, the topic of graphene has a very close relationship with chemistry. I suggest that you go back to China and read more books about chemistry in addition to studying twin prime numbers.”

"Yes, professor." After An Yan finished speaking, he stopped talking.And the professor didn't and didn't particularly want An Yan to do anything, but after having breakfast with An Yan, he told An Yan that he would go to An Yan's academic report.

When I came to the venue of the academic report meeting, it was just a lecture hall.Many people are already waiting to see the academic report of this Chinese native from the University of Zurich.There were even some Asian-faced people sitting up front, presumably wanting to get a closer look.

Although it is only a lecture hall, there are not many people coming.The professor itself can accommodate nearly 200 people. Before the start of the academic report meeting, nearly 100 people have already come.Some students and professors will come later. Graphene is a new material after all. Students from both the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry want to hear what this student who has made breakthroughs in graphene has to say.

Everyone came here out of curiosity, if An Yan didn't agree.But it was a bit embarrassing, standing in front of the door, An Yan took a deep breath and glanced at the time.It was almost time for him to give an academic report, and he stepped onto the podium.Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him, and he was also very disturbed.But pretending to be calm on the surface, he said, "Now let's get to the point."

"The two-dimensional atomic crystal graphene, which combines high mobility, high thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical strength, has great application prospects in many fields such as electronics, photonics, and optoelectronics...to improve electrical conductivity and charge carriers. Mobility. The high conductivity of single-layer graphene stems from the delocalized π bonds formed by the side-by-side pz orbitals of carbon atoms. The conductivity of graphene films is usually quantified as physical quantities such as surface resistance...①" When An Yan was explaining, From time to time, pay attention to the expressions of the professors and students listening to the lecture below.Everyone seemed to be quite satisfied with An Yan's explanation. After An Yan finished explaining, he took a deep breath and said, "Do you have any questions?"

The students below look at me, and I look at you.To be honest, they didn't understand much. As for asking questions, it was even more impossible. Since they couldn't understand, how could they ask questions? Isn't this nonsense?

As for the professor, what An Yan said was almost all theory, and all of them had been practiced, so there was no doubt about it.They were interested in what the student would do next after making a breakthrough.It's a pity that this student doesn't seem to plan to tell this matter at the academic report meeting.

As for the problem, they have no problem.Professor Constantine was also very satisfied with this report, and Professor Li Bo, who was sitting below, was very satisfied with the successful conclusion of An Yan's first academic report.Slightly nodded, when they met Professor Li Bo today, they checked the time, and they really took the same flight back to China.

Professor Chen Wen still has some things to deal with, so Professor Li Bo returned to China first.

It wasn't until all the students and professors left that Professor Constantine stood up and said to An Yan, "Ann, this report will be great, you don't need to worry too much at all. If you choose to continue studying graphene , I am very optimistic about you."

"Professor Constantine, thank you." An Yan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Professor Li Bo put his hands in his trouser pockets and said to An Yan with a smile, "A very good academic report meeting , I also learned a lot of knowledge. I'm just very curious, what should you do in the next experiment? How about it, do you need cooperation? The kind of big dog."

An Yan shook her head and said, "Professor Li, you wouldn't say you are the big dog, would you? Or Capital University?"

"Of course not." Professor Li Bo sneered, "Our school is not considered a big dog. The real big dog is someone else."

Professor Constantine had already left the classroom, and only Professor Li Bo and An Yan were left in the classroom.

"Let's go, don't you want to take a plane?"

"Where is Professor Benson?"

"Professor Benson asked me to take good care of you. Let's go, let's talk as we walk." Saying that, Professor Li Bo left the professor, and An Yan also left the professor behind Professor Li Bo.As he walked towards the exit, he asked, "Professor, who is the big dog you mentioned just now?"

"Huaxia Investment Group, have you heard of this name?" Professor Li Bo asked An Yan.

"No, no."

"Enterprises starting with the Chinese character, you know, are real big dogs, and are currently investing all over the world. Investing in a thousand or 1 projects, as long as one project can be successful, they will already make a lot of money."

"State-owned enterprise?"

"That's right, the Science and Technology Investment Group is very interested in people like you from Hua who are doing cutting-edge research abroad and have achieved certain results. I asked Professor Benson, and he said that the graphene project You are in charge of the affairs of the group." Professor Li Bo said, "How about it, do you have time to meet the boss of Huaxia Investment Group?"

"Do you know him well?"

"It's not familiar, but we do experiments and theories, and we always meet people like them." Professor Li Bo said somewhat helplessly, "Although they don't understand farts, they are rich. These days , If you have money, you are a master. How do you do experiments if you don’t have money?”

"It's a state-owned enterprise again, so you don't need to worry about your reputation. If you're interested, I can introduce you. They're also paying attention to this academic conference on physics, and they might come to you directly. It's better if you contact their boss directly. , Although our Beijing University is not as good as a top university, we still have this face."

"Then you must not simply introduce it to me, right?" To be honest, An Yan is not optimistic about the subject of graphene.It's not because he can't do it, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.There are not many entrepreneurs in Switzerland who want to invest in him and let him get sponsors by himself?Forget it, he might have to be driven away before he even finished speaking, and the research funding from the school is obviously not enough.

At this time, Professor Li Bo proposed to find a rich dog, which was indeed a very tempting thing.But even for tempting things, he couldn't easily agree.Such a good thing, it's his turn?It must be that Professor Li Bo will have some additional conditions.

"Don't think about it. In fact, it's not that we haven't proposed this experimental topic, but it was shelved in the end. In addition to graphene, we are indeed not the opponents of Europe and the United States, so we are temporarily in a position of giving up. But It’s different now, and I think you must have some ideas about the future.”

"Don't worry, the first paper in the future will definitely be yours, and the result will be produced. The patent of this result is also yours."

"So..." An Yan looked at Professor Li Bo casually, "Do you have any requirements?"

"The graphene research group of Peking University is also involved." Professor Li Bo said, "This research group is a team led by me. I don't participate, but my students participate. If there is anything, they will contact you."

An Yan didn't quite understand why the request was so simple since he was able to take him to see the big dog.

"I'm still a professor at Peking University, will I cheat you?" Li Bo snorted coldly and said, "Besides, it's not the first time for a big dog to invest in graphene. My idea is actually very simple. Let my students Learn how you made your breakthrough, don't worry, the result is definitely yours, and we will never take it away."

"The main reason is that I also want to cultivate some talents for Huaguo, you know." Li Bo frowned and said, "It is very distressing that the students under him are not up to date, and they are still used by college students like you. Looking at it with questioning eyes. I am really embarrassed!"

"Ahem." Is this Professor Li Bo's desire to perform a bit too strong?An Yan coughed lightly and said, "It's not impossible to cooperate with three parties, but why did the joint graphene research meeting with the University of Zurich fail last time? It doesn't make sense."

"Why else, don't you know those researchers?" Li Bo looked at An Yan, as if he was accusing.

"Uh... Indeed, they seem to be taking care of themselves for the elderly."

"That's right, and do you think someone will invest money in them with such an attitude? They have no funds over there, of course it will be yellow. You are different. With the sponsorship of a big dog, are you afraid that there will be no funds?" ? Just fix it."

An Yan thought for a while, and it was true what the professor said.If there is enough funds for him to study, maybe there will be a result.

"However, Professor Li Bo, I still have a question." An Yan still felt that it was not appropriate.

"anymore question?"

"Even the subject of graphene cannot produce results in one or two years. I am fine at the University of Zurich. What if I go to another school?" An Yan feels that this is not appropriate. If he is at the University of Zurich After reading a Ph.D., maybe you can really make achievements.

But what if you change schools halfway through?

"This project must follow your people, and then just sign a contract. It is your research group, not the research group of the University of Zurich. You are independent. Do you understand what I mean?

"

What Professor Li Bo means is that even if he goes to another university, he just needs to apply for a research group.As a graduate student, there is still some power, and students like him.The tutor hardly cares what he does, as long as he can graduate and produce results.

"If you've thought about it, you can tell me directly that I'm in the capital. If you want to meet Gou Dahu, call me when you get to the capital. I'll be responsible for making an appointment with Gou Dahu."

"You say that, as if you are doing illegal business." An Yan touched the bridge of his nose, obviously what they were talking about was very normal, why did he always feel that the words changed when Professor Li Bo said them? It's like a smell.

"Don't care about these details, you just need to tell me now, do you think you need to see the dog?"

"Can... see you?" An Yan pondered for a while, and it would be good to meet the big dog, so as to save time from worrying about funding issues.

If he had the sponsorship of a big dog, he would not have to worry about funding.But what information do you need to prepare?An Yan rubbed her hands together and said, "Professor Li, do I need to prepare some materials?"

"Information?" Professor Li Bo said with a smile, "You just need to bring someone. The people from Huaxia Investment Group are not fools. They prepare all your information before meeting you. Those who want to lie to them Man, you are still a little tender."

"Ahem." An Yan coughed lightly, "So I don't need to prepare anything, just go directly?"

"Otherwise?" Li Bo looked at An Yan and said, "What else do you want to do?"

"No, nothing." An Yan hurriedly shook his hand.Li Bo took out his mobile phone at this time, "It's settled, I'll contact Gou Dahu right now, and after we arrive in the capital, we'll have a day off and talk to Gou Dahu."

"No, Professor Li, why do I feel that you are more anxious than me?"

"Can I not be in a hurry?" Li Bo snorted. "You know, Beijing University is already far behind foreign countries in this area. If you don't catch up, you can get it in the future? Naturally, the sooner the better, the better." .”

Just do it!

Of course, Professor Li Bo called the big dog in the presence of An Yan. On the other end of the phone, Professor Li Bo was quite aloof. He said casually that there is currently a project. I don’t know if Mr. Sun is interested. Then he said, I am still in the United States, and I will look for you when I return to China.

After hanging up the phone, he frowned at An Yan and showed off, "Okay, don't worry, the big dog will definitely invest in this project."

"Is it... so simple?"

"Otherwise, my professors at Peking University have been for nothing for so many years?" Professor Li Bo said disdainfully, "If it weren't for your lack of funds, I wouldn't bother to call him."

"Are all your research projects so aloof?" An Yan always feels that he and Professor Li Bo are not from the same world. You must know that he is now pulling his face to find sponsors, but no one cares about him.Professor Li Bo made a phone call and directly settled the investment.

"Well, under normal circumstances, this kind of problem is easy to solve, you will know later." Professor Li Bo and An Yan arrived at the airport and boarded the plane.An Yan was very nervous these days, so she took a good night's sleep after boarding the plane.

When he arrived in Beijing, the capital of China, he woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes.

It was too cold in Beijing in the deep winter. An Yan wrapped her clothes tightly and said to Professor Li Bo beside her, "Professor, why don't you let them come out to talk today? It's really too cold here, and I have to Going home. Besides graphene, there is another topic, and I have to help Professor Benson do something."

Listening to the familiar Chinese, An Yan felt very at ease in her heart.When I was at the University of Zurich, except when I was with Chen Tao and Liu Song, they could speak Chinese, and they spoke German everywhere else.When I arrived at Stanford University, I spoke English again.Almost no one can speak Chinese. Back in Huaguo, the streets are full of Chinese, which makes An Yan feel very down-to-earth.

"Don't worry, it won't take too much time for you. Maybe the big dog will buy you a ticket and let you go back when he's happy."

"???" An Yan looked confused, why did he think that Professor Li Bo killed Huaxia Investment Group as a real big family?Is this his illusion.

"Then I'll call my parents and tell them I'll go back tomorrow."

"let's hit."

Professor Li Bo took An Yan out of the terminal and found his car. An Yan was on the phone at this time, "Dad, I have arrived in the capital. But there are still some things here, so I can't go home yet. Tomorrow. It should be I can go home tomorrow..."

After hanging up the phone, Professor Li Bo pouted and said, "Get in the car and take you to the hotel."

Came to the hotel and got a room, An Yan had slept enough on the plane, now he doesn't want to sleep anymore.This place is very close to Beijing University. According to Professor Li Bo, the big dog will come to Beijing University to discuss tomorrow.

Originally, he wanted to go to Beijing University for a walk, but it was so cold outside, he had better stay in the hotel.Turning on the computer, before he could log in to the arXiv website, he received a call from Gu Weize.

Gu Weize on the other end of the phone had a nasal voice, "Xiao Yan, I heard that you have returned to China?"

"Well, I'm at Beijing University now, and I still have some things to deal with tomorrow, so I should come back tomorrow afternoon or evening." After An Yan finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong with Gu Weize, "Do you have a cold?"

"No, it's just a cough. It should be fine." Gu Wei smiled and said, "Xiao Yan, then send me a message before you get on the plane, so I can pick you up."

"No need?" An Yan frowned and said, "You have caught a cold, so you should rest at home."

"I'm in good health, if you don't believe me, go home and have a check!" Gu Wei smiled, An Yan's hair was full of black lines, "Okay, I won't talk to you, it's nothing, I'll hang up first. You've been quite obedient recently, you didn't make harassing calls to me."

"Aren't I thinking that you have something to do, so I dare not disturb you?"

"By the way, Xiaoyan, what business do you have in the capital?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of funding for the project. I chatted with a professor at Peking University, and he said he could help me find a rich family to invest in my project."

"Is it reliable?" Gu Weize rang the alarm, "You have to be careful."

"I know, don't worry, it's okay. The other party is Huaxia Investment Group, a state-owned enterprise."

"Xiao Yan, he must have a need for helping you like this. What does he want?" Gu Wei heard An Yan's words, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. What was it all about?Who would help a person who is not related to him for no reason, it must be that there is something in that person that he wants to get.

"You're really right." An Yan sat on the chair and said, "He did have a request."

"Then... May I know what the request is?" Gu Wei asked cautiously, for fear of offending An Yan.
