God's Crown

Arriving at the professor's office, An Yan knocked on the door first.Professor Benson said please come in, and An Yan pushed the door open.Looking at the professor, he said, "Hello, professor."

Professor Benson looked up and saw An Yan, and then said, "An, what, what can I do for you?" Seeing Professor Benson's appearance, he seemed a little busy, An Yan was silent for a while and said, "Professor, I'll come I want to talk to you about something." Professor Benson stopped his work, looked at An Yan and said, "An, what's the matter?"

"The research group on twin prime numbers may not be able to continue." An Yan rubbed his hands in embarrassment. If he could understand why Chen Tao and Liu Song did not continue to work on the research group on twin prime numbers, he did not expect Professor Benson I can understand why Chen Tao and Liu Song did not continue.

There is so much difference between them and the professor that it is impossible to understand the problem.

"Oh?" The professor didn't get angry, and didn't even look unhappy. He just nodded and said, "Can't you continue?"

"Yes, professor, this may really be impossible." An Yan took a deep breath, "I think we still lack a lot of things, so we can't continue."

"Like?"

"For example, we still lack a lot of research on analytic number theory. Under such circumstances, we can't continue to study it at all." An Yan showed a bitter smile.

Professor Benson nodded slightly and said, "I quite agree with what you said. You are very lacking in number theory or other things. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to study the twin prime number conjecture. What's more, you are a student of the physics department, not a student of mathematics. No matter how good your mathematics is, there is still a certain gap between you and the mathematics department. I think you feel it yourself. I still say the same thing, if you If you want to study quantum field theory or Hilbert space, or Planck theory, whatever. Mathematical conjectures, especially pure mathematical conjectures, I actually don’t agree with you to solve them.”

"Of course, you still need to continue to learn mathematics. Your mathematics is very good in the physics department. Whether it is Hilbert space or Planck theory, you must use mathematics, what I mean Yes, your math can go on. It would be wonderful if you could unravel the Yang-Mills existence and mass gap someday. But you are simply not fit for these world-wide problems right now." After Professor Benson finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper, handed it to An Yan and said, "This is quantum field theory, take a look."

This is a simple field theory, a modal interpretation of quantum field theory, which is quite...simple.When An Yan got it, she looked at it for a long time, wondering in her heart, is this the only thing she can do in the professor's mind?

"Ahem, professor, do you think I can choose a thesis topic by myself? It's not that I don't want to study field theory now, but I don't think it's time for me to study quantum field theory. I always feel that I am still far away from field theory. A distance, you see, can I study the others now?"

Professor Benson said seriously, "Ann, if you think you don't have to follow my subject, I'm of course OK. But you have to believe that it's good for you if I give you a topic for you to study. You are far from There is not much time for graduation. If you have other ideas now, I will definitely not stop you. I will even let you do it, but you have to think about whether you can finish it. You can’t say , you want to do it, and then do it. You don’t care if you can complete it or do it well.”

"This is good for you." After the professor finished speaking, he looked at An Yan, "Then, Ann, tell me, what do you want to do now?"

"Professor, I'm sorry!" An Yan bowed, he knew that what the professor told him so much must be for his own good.But he still couldn't help it, it was obvious that what he had planned before was about the flow field and turbulence.But because of his own reasons, this question was shelved. Now he has the opportunity to raise this question again, and he doesn't want to wait until the future to do this.So An Yan apologized to the professor, "I have a topic that I have drawn up and want to do."

"Really?" The professor was not surprised at all. Students like An Yan must have their own ideas.It's just that I didn't expect that this guy really wanted to implement his own ideas, especially at this time.The professor felt that at this time, it was the safest to follow himself.It's a pity that students think they should take the risk.

Well, since the students want to take risks, it's hard for him as a professor to say much.

Nodding slightly, the professor said, "If you decide what you want to do, then you will do it. However, Ann, I think I still need to make it clear to you."

The professor stood up holding the coffee cup and said, "Let me just tell you something, I hope you don't give up halfway this time. You have given up halfway too many times, this is not your style. I think you should seriously study One thing. Even if there is no result in the end, at least you still worked hard, didn't you?"

When talking about this, the professor paused, "To be honest, Ann, you let me down now."

Looking at the professor's face, An Yan fell silent.He didn't know what to say, and lowered his head slightly, looking ashamed.The professor is right, it's not his style.It's not his style after re-reading the third year of high school. If there is a question that he doesn't understand when he is re-reading, he will definitely work hard to understand it.Rather than like now, if you can't do it, put it aside.

This is no different from the previous salted fish state, as if he is now back to the previous state.It was the initial state, maybe because he was drifting away, or maybe because he felt that going to university abroad seemed to be much more than what he originally wanted, and that hard work and persistence were no longer there. up.

An Yan began to self-censor, as if she felt that she could sit back and relax like this.He thought, what have he done this year?Experiment with graphene, because graphene made a breakthrough.If graphene didn't make a breakthrough, would he continue to experiment with graphene?He felt that he should not do it, but went to do other things.

Make a flow field, because I don't want to continue to make this thing because I encountered some difficulties.Instead, he ran to do the twin prime number conjecture, and because the twin prime number conjecture was too difficult, he wanted to run to do the flow field again.It feels like he's been going around and around, as if he doesn't really want to do anything.

Logically speaking, to do something, one should persevere and work hard.Why can't he even do the words "perseverance and hard work"?It's not his style.

No, if this continues, he will accomplish nothing.

An Yan took a deep breath, and firmly said to Professor Benson, "Professor, don't worry, I will work hard to complete this project. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely complete my current project. .”

Professor Benson looked at An Yan in surprise, and he found that the student in front of him seemed to be a different person.When he saw An Yan before, he didn't know how to describe this student.Let's say he is fooling around, but he is actually working very hard.It's just that he didn't use his full strength to do things. Let's say he doesn't work hard. In fact, he has worked very hard, and everyone can see it.Just love to give up, no matter what you do, as long as you can't make results, you will give up.

It seems a little too much to give the professor a sense of utilitarianism in this student, but of course utilitarianism is a good thing.In anything, without utilitarianism, there can be no breakthrough at all.But too much is not necessarily a good thing. Too much utilitarianism is like what a student is like now. If he can't produce results, he won't do it.

What has all this become?If you don't persist in doing one thing, there will definitely be no results, so the professor wants to remind An Yan that there will be no results if he does this.Unexpectedly, the student spoke to him with a heavy and determined expression.

It's as if a different vitality has been radiated from the inside out, and the whole temperament is different from before.

The professor smiled and said, "It's great if you can figure it out by yourself, Ann, you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you, Professor, for reminding me." An Yan took a deep breath and left the office.From now on, he must work hard to do everything well.For example, his graphene research and flow field.He had to study hard and earnestly on these two subjects. As for twin prime numbers, he also had to study them.But you have to wait until these two subjects are finished and return to the laboratory.

An Yan began to work seriously, communicating with the research team of Peking University about the progress of the graphene experiment.

There is no progress there, but everyone is working hard.An Yan also began to study hard, and found relevant documents and materials, as well as data.While calculating, while researching.

In his spare time, he is studying the problem of flow field.

Since he wants to study the problem of the flow field, he must use mathematics to make a model.An Yan began to make the model of the flow field non-stop. By the time the model of the flow field was finished, it was already time for the holiday.Chen Tao and Liu Song had already returned to China, but he was still in school to do his own project. Professor Benson asked An Yan when he would go home for the holiday, but An Yan said that he would not go home.

It made Professor Benson a little surprised, this student... what happened recently?He is either in the library or in the apartment every day, and rarely even goes to the laboratory.

But he didn't make any other moves, and he was said to be working on his own subject.It's really the first time the professor has seen such hard work and seriousness.

The professor was not talking, and let An Yan arrange his own time.

Of course, An Yan also knew that the results would not come out in one summer vacation.He also called his parents, explaining that he would not be able to return to the country during the holiday because he had to be busy with a project.It was still a bit difficult to make the appearance of the flow field. After An Yan finished the model of the flow field, more than half of the holiday time had passed.

Looking at his completed mathematical model, An Yan smiled.There were very few students in the apartment. He sat on the sofa, looked at the mathematical model, and wondered if graphene could make a mathematical model, could it solve the current problems as soon as possible?Thinking of this, he shivered.Sure enough, he is not a student of the Department of Mathematics, so he would never think of doing such a thing as a mathematical model.

If it wasn't for the need to make a model for the flow field, he might never have thought that graphene could also make a model.Maybe there will be some unexpected gains. Taking out her mobile phone, An Yan began to contact Gou Liqun, the leader of Professor Li's team.Because the two often need to communicate, An Yan has his phone number.

Although this is Professor Li's team, the actual person in charge is Professor Li's doctoral student Gou Liqun.

When the call was made, Gou Liqun was still a little noisy, and he didn't know where this guy was.Gou Liqun's voice was also a little loud, "Hello, An Yan?"

"Yes, Brother Gou, what are you doing? It's so noisy over there."

"How many times have I told you, don't call me Brother Gou." Gou Liqun said helplessly on the other end of the phone, "Also, don't call me Laogou, it's like a curse."

"Ahem, that group of brothers, I have something I want to tell you now. I wonder if you have time?"

"Tell me." Gou Liqun said on the other end of the phone, "It's rare that the boss is so free to talk to me? I heard that you haven't even returned to your country during the holidays. Call me across the country when you are so free."

"I'll stop talking nonsense." An Yan said directly, "Have you established a mathematical model of graphene before?"

"What kind of model does this thing build?" Gou Liqun was puzzled, "You don't want to build a mathematical model of graphene and see where there are difficulties? But even if this thing builds a mathematical model, you can't see it. You must be able to see what's wrong with our experiment. Besides, I always feel that building a model is useless at all, so I might as well...continue to do the experiment."

"Are you in Beijing University now?"

"Eh..." Gou Liqun was stunned for a moment, "Brother, don't tell me that you want to go back to China and make models with me."

"bingo!"

"Brother, is it a holiday now? It's a holiday!"

"Then I can't control it. How about I call Professor Li and ask his opinion?"

"It's really... I lost to you. That's fine. When are you going back to China? Give me some time. I'll go back to Beijing University as soon as possible." Gou Liqun held his forehead, feeling like he was about to collapse.Unexpectedly, he had to be called back to Beijing University before staying with his girlfriend for a long time.

Logically speaking, An Yan would not be able to stop Gou Liqun, but there was no other way.Who made An Yan and the professor very familiar.Moreover, Gou Liqun felt that An Yan's brain was not good enough to build a mathematical model of graphene. Even if he built a model, he couldn't break through the current difficulties.

Shouldn't we start with physical chemistry?Why did you turn around and go to mathematics and physics?Although both are interdisciplinary, physical chemistry is clearly better at graphene than mathematical physics is not.

It's just that he is the person in charge of Peking University, and An Yan is the main person in charge of the entire experiment, so he still has to communicate with An Yan after all.Even if you are unwilling, there is no way.The whole experiment is mainly about banquets.For more than half a year, they have conducted countless experiments, but there is no breakthrough or signs of a breakthrough.Everyone is still working hard, and An Yan is also working hard at the University of Zurich. Although the handover is done by email or video, Gou Liqun can imagine that An Yan is thinking hard about this experiment at the University of Zurich.

It’s just that you are thinking hard at the University of Zurich. Is there any problem when you return to your country?

Gou Liqun covered his face, the girlfriend next to him looked at Gou Liqun and said, "Didn't you agree to accompany me? Why is there something wrong?"

"No way." Gou Liqun said with a wry smile, "This boss is the main person in charge of our current experiment, and the investment in the entire project is also funded by him."

"Even if this is the case, can't you do it when you are in school?" My girlfriend said angrily, "What is this? I just came and left."

"Don't be angry? He is from the University of Zurich. When the semester starts, I guess he will have to go to the University of Zurich. That's it, they are all returning to China during the summer vacation."

"Male and female?" The girlfriend looked at Gou Liqun with a suspicious expression.

"Male, of course it's a man, otherwise? It's really just a connection on the subject, and it has no other meaning at all. Or, you can go to Beijing University with me."

"Forget it, go by yourself." The girlfriend turned her face away, and Gou Liqun stood there dumbfounded.

…………

After An Yan called Gou Liqun, he contacted Professor Benson.He wasn't sure how long it would take for this docking, but he could only say that it was done as soon as possible.But how long it will take, he can't say for sure, and he can't say well.

Professor Benson who received the call was not in Switzerland. He said to An Yan, "Ann, what's the matter? Call me in such a hurry."

"Professor is like this. Regarding the graphene experiment, I need to go back to China to connect with the team at Peking University. I don't know how long it will take to complete. I would like to ask you for a long vacation."

"Long vacation?" Professor Benson thought for a while and said, "Ann, what are you going to do with the one over there?"

"Make a mathematical model. You know, I'm making a model of the flow field recently. After finishing it, I suddenly thought that if we can make a model of the graphene experiment, maybe we can find out something."

"Ann, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic about your idea." Professor Benson said in a deep voice, "In fact, graphene is biased towards physical chemistry. It’s hard to see the results.”

"Professor, what I mean is, I want to give it a try, no matter whether I can succeed or not, if I don't try, I will definitely not be willing."

"Your words are not wrong. If you don't try, you probably won't be willing. That's okay, have you agreed with the Beijing University team? I heard that Beijing University is also on vacation .”

"I called there just now, and I have already agreed that I will return to China as soon as possible. But because the time is not sure this time, I want to take a long vacation with you."

"You go, Ann." Professor Benson said without any surprise, "I approved this long vacation, but Ann, I still hope that you can bring me some surprises when you return to the University of Zurich."

"Thank you, professor." An Yan let out a long sigh of relief. Since the professor allowed it, he was naturally relieved a lot, and he could confidently stay in Peking University to settle this matter before returning to Zurich University.I even heard that the turbulence laboratory of Peking University is quite famous, so maybe I have a chance to get in touch with it.Maybe it will also have some influence on his flow field.

"Oh, Ann, needless to say thank you, I just hope that you can study the current topic well." Professor Benson said in a deep voice, "It's not too early for you to graduate, I hope you can think about it carefully, yourself Can your subject allow you to graduate within this period of time?"

"Don't worry, I will work hard." After hanging up the phone, An Yan booked the plane ticket.

By the way, I called Gu Weize, who was also very noisy there.Gu Wei mentioned before that he needs an internship during the summer vacation.

Gu Weize, who received the call, was watching others wrangling, while the police next to him were trying to persuade them.Gu Wei pulled the policeman next to him and whispered, "Brother, I'm going to answer the phone. It's a friend calling. There should be something on the international call."

The policeman raised his eyebrows, "Yo, your friend is still abroad?"

"Well, he is studying abroad. He didn't come back during the summer vacation. He is calling now. It should be something urgent. "

"Go!"

Gu Wei walked to the corner, took out his phone and pressed the answer button, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan, is there anything going on abroad?"

"It's nothing." An Yan said while packing her things, "I'm going back to my country."

"Ah, didn't you say that you want to study some subject and not go back to China?"

"We have connections with the Beijing University team, so we have to go back to China to do mathematical models with them." An Yan said flatly, "Do you have time to come to the capital?"

"Let's see." Gu Wei showed a embarrassed look, "I'm not sure if I have time, I'll try my best. Won't Xiaoyan go back to Yucheng?"

"No, the experiment is the most important thing. Besides, after the mathematical model is made, it will take a long time to study. I asked the professor for a long vacation. The professor meant that if I want to take a long vacation, I must make some Breakthroughs are needed." An Yan rubbed his eyebrows, "Graphene is more about physical chemistry. I use mathematical physics methods, and I don't know if I can make something. Everything is unknown. What do you think? Do I still have time to go back to Yucheng?"

"That's right." Gu Weize said in a low voice, "I'm still dispatching the police, Xiao Yan, can you send me a message when you arrive in the capital, and I'll contact you then?"

"En." Coincidentally, An Yan also had to pack up the materials, hung up the phone, packed everything, and prepared to go back to China.
