Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 364: I'm Just a Mathematics Professor

Shangjing, in the Second Ring, an ancient schoolroom.

An old man sat there at the redwood desk reading the letter in his hand.

Though he didn't really understand the letter, his assistant had helped him to pinpoint its focus. Leaving aside those too professional paragraphs, he could still read them if he chose to focus on them.

At this point, footsteps were heard outside the corridor and the door of the office slammed gently.

The old man dropped the letter in his hand and said, "Come in. ”

The door pushed open and an old man dressed in formal clothes came in and said with a respectful expression.

“Elder, are you looking for me? ”

“I don't know what to think, I want to consult you," said the old man who walked in the door, sitting behind the desk, slowly, "Do you think the first prize is good or the second prize is good about that young man? ”

Although the old man did not say the name of the man or what the first prize was, Wu Lao immediately guessed who the old man said.

After a moment of hesitation, Wu Lao said.

“I believe that neither the first nor the second prize is appropriate, rather than the National Prize for Natural Science or the National Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress. ”

Although the National Prize for Scientific Progress is also one of the top five national prizes, it is slightly lower than the National Prize for Natural Science.

An inappropriate metaphor is probably similar to the difference between three good students in the city and three good students in the district.

Without answering the question, the old man thought for a moment and spoke as if he were talking to himself.

“In the eighties, Mr. Chen was awarded the National Prize in Natural Sciences for his speculative research, and according to this, he deserves this honor. ”

As if I had guessed that the old man would say this, Wu Lao Xin smiled bitterly and persuaded him.

“The situation was different in the 1980s, when the domestic academic community was lagging far behind in the world, when the Gothenbach conjecture was more than just the Gothenbach conjecture, it was a flag. But now it's different, Goldbach's guess is just Goldbach's guess, it's just a mathematical proposition. ”

The old man laughed and said, "What about lithium-sulfur batteries? This is a realistic achievement at last. ”

According to the plan set out in the original White Paper on Planning New Energy Development Strategies, the battery capacity should be raised to 300-350 Whkg by 2020, while meeting the cost target of 1 yuan Wh in terms of cost.

Now, with the successive breakthroughs in lithium battery-related technologies, battery capacity on the market has more than doubled over the expected data, and this goal has undoubtedly been exceeded.

As the solver of the "lithium-crystal problem” and the technological dilemma of the lithium-sulfur battery cathode material, the research results of that young man can undoubtedly be recorded in the overall strategic layout of the development of new energy in China.

What does the elderly think and feel like about this young man who has the ability and the courage to be first?

I guess I guessed the elder's attitude. As a master of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Wu Lao can't help but make it difficult for a while.

In fact, for reasons of reason, he also thinks that the ark deserves this honor.

However, the awards awarded by national institutions, unlike those awarded by academic institutions, need to be considered not only in academic terms, but also in the light of the actual situation, in particular the reactions of others.

After a moment of silence, Wu Lao changed a euphemistic angle and persuaded him.

“What if you give him the honor now and wait for him to achieve more? Will he be honored with the highest prize in science and technology? ”

The old man smiled not carelessly, “If he can do this, why not? ”

Wu Lao sighed softly: “The average winner of the National Award for Science and Technology is over eighty years old. If it is awarded to a young person, it will be difficult to serve the public...”

hesitated, he continued.

“Moreover, when a tree shows in a forest, the wind will destroy it, which may not be a good thing for him. ”

Not necessarily a good thing.

This time the old man did not speak, as if he thought of something, if thoughtful nodded.

After about a minute of silence, the old man spoke.

“Go ahead, I'll think about it. ”

Director Wu relieved himself and nodded: “Yes. ”

Go ahead, he turned around and walked to the door.

Yet just as he walked to the door, the old man's voice came from behind him.

“Wait a minute. ”

When he stopped at the door, Director Wu looked back and complimented him: “Is there anything else? ”

The old man picked up a letter from his desk and gently pushed it out of his forefinger.

“I have a letter here. Take it and think about it. ”

Director Wu immediately took the letter and opened it and looked up.

Then he stunned for a moment.

See only that letter, with a line of headings.

"A Trend in the Application of Computing Science in Frontier Research and Future Subject Development"

……

At this moment, the Ark, far away from Germany, does not know where the letter he sent to Jinling University was sent up one layer at a time, and who finally handed it over to whom.

He was more interested in pure science than in political matters.

Upon his return from the embassy, he and Professor Clearing travelled to the eastern German city of Gryfswald.

This small town of less than 70,000 inhabitants exists almost for the University of Graveswald and sits quietly on the tip of the Baltic Sea coast. An inappropriate metaphor, this is like Princeton in Germany, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, perfect for reading and old age.

However, the destination of the Ark and Professor Clearing trip was not the University of Graveswald, but the Spiral 7-X Institute, located on the outskirts of the small city.

Walking into the institute, Professor Clearing came to a laboratory with him to the ark, where he found the person in charge and introduced him.

“This is Professor Ralph Kleber, who has worked here for 10 years and is probably one of the oldest researchers and engineers here. ”

“That's right, I watched this little guy grow up, including his father," took off his helmet and clamped it under his arm, and Professor Krabs, with his bearded beard, grinned and laughed, reaching out his right hand to the ark, "Welcome! Professor from Princeton University, I'm glad you're interested in this great project. ”

Speaking of star imitations, there's a lot of sources with Princeton University. Although Germany is now the leader in this technology, the concept was first introduced by Professor Lyman Spitzer, a physicist at Princeton University.

However, the idea was considered too advanced at the time and could not be achieved in any way, from both a material and an engineering point of view.

It wasn't until more than a decade later that the prototype of the first replicator was actually born. Until today, however, 50 years later, the imitator was just a prototype, and it was still unclear how many 50 years to go before that idealized blueprint was fully realized.

He shook his hand and shook it. The ark laughed inadvertently and said modestly.

“I'm just a math professor, and I don't have any research on nuclear fusion, and I'm here to interrupt mainly to satisfy my personal curiosity, and I'm afraid I can't help you. ”

“Ha ha, what does it matter? In my opinion, the Professor of Mathematics in Princeton is even more remarkable than the Professor of Physics,” Professor Crabb laughed and said disrespectfully to the physicist in front of a Nobel Prize laureate in physics.

Professor Clearing was not given a chance to rebut, and after less than half a second of pausing, he put his helmet back on his head.

“You're here at the right time, and today there's an experimental arrangement. Come with me, I'll show you our little guy. ”

Come on, he waved and walked out the door with two people.
