Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 471: Did You Really Just Talk Math?

Controlled nuclear fusion is not an aircraft cannon, nor is it a missile atomic bomb. Although the name carries the word "nuclear fusion”, it is not something that needs to be sneaked around.

Therefore, the location of the relevant research unit need not be on Gobi Beach, nor can it be placed on Gobi Beach.

Talent is one of them.

As for the second, communication.

As in the case of the International Space Station (ISS) programme, such major systemic projects are often not sufficient tasks for a particular country or organization. The same is true of controllable nuclear fusion engineering, where competition has always existed, but cooperation remains mainstream.

If you have to turn the plane a few times for a meeting and a few more trains, then I'm afraid you won't have to drive this.

At the time, the Institute of Materials of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was going to do Tokamak and circle an island on the shores of the beautiful Shushan Lake in Luyang.

Ark thought Jinling was good, so he drew a circle next to Zijinshan, and the project settled in Jinling.

Formal written documents will need to wait until they come out, before the Ark intends to return to its alma mater.

First, he invested 100 million dollars in the Computing Materials Research Institute building, and second, he needed support from Jinling University for a controllable fusion program and the blueprint he had in mind for Pu Gao Heights in China.

Send the ark to the hotel entrance, Manager Wang said with a smile.

“Didn't Professor Lu stay a few more days? ”

The Ark laughed and said, "No, I'm busy with work, I can't stay, I'm done. ”

Manager Wang: “Then take your time. ”

The ark nodded towards the black red flag parked on the side of the road.

The carry-on luggage is already in the trunk, and he doesn't have to worry about these trivialities.

Watching the ship fasten its seat belt, Wang Peng, sitting in the driver's seat, started the car.

“To where? ”

“Airport!”

……

Jinling University, Executive Building.

Many principals sitting at their desks wearing glasses are scrupulously handling their official duties.

At this point, the door rang.

He stopped the pen in his hand, and Principal Xu cleared his voice and said.

“Come in. ”

The door pushed open and appeared at the door, an unexpected figure.

Looking at the canoe standing at the door, Principal Xu slightly stunned, then dropped the pen in his hand and stood up from the office chair with a smile.

“Professor Lu? What brings you here? Come on in. ”

Looking at the documents on Principal Xu's desk, the Ark courteously laughed: “It was a little sudden when I arrived. I just got off the plane, didn't I interrupt your work? ”

Principal Xu smiled and said, "The Nobel Prize winner mainly came to visit our school. We're not welcome yet. Why bother? But your return was quite sudden. Why didn't you say so in advance? We weren't prepared. ”

“What are you preparing in advance? I just came back to see my alma mater. I didn't have to make any trouble.” Ark laughed and put the tea in his hand on the desk. "I brought some tea back. ”

Principal Xu excused himself: “I can't accept such a precious gift. Why don't you take it and send it to Don and Lou? ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "What's the value? It's just two packets of tea. I keep Professor Tang's and Master Lu's. You're welcome. ”

After a chill, they sat on the couch.

Principal Xu instructed his secretary to make two cups of hot tea.

With a chitchat, the ark said.

“I'm going home from Princeton about next year, and if Principal Xu doesn't mind, I may have to bother more in the future. ”

“How can you care?” Principal Xu smiled and said, "If you're willing to come back, you can give me the principal's position. ”

"That's not necessary," said Ark Zhou hastily. "It's fine for me to be the director of the institute. Let me run a university. Forget it. ”

His research has been busy enough, I really want to be the principal, I'm afraid I'll have to split him in half to get busy.

Moreover, it was his own opposition to the elimination of talent by administrative posts.

After sipping a sip of tea and moisturizing any voice, the ark began to talk about business by toning the whole face.

“This time to go to the capital, I met the elders. ”

When he heard this, Principal Xu also shrunk the joke and changed his serious expression.

“Have you talked… May I ask? ”

“It's not a confidential matter, and the written documents will probably be down shortly, so it's okay to say so in advance. ”

After a pause, the Ark went on to say, "… in addition to some technical things, we mainly talked about academic matters, including some mathematical history. ”

Principal Xu: "Mathematical history? ”

The ark nodded: "Yes. ”

“Throughout the history of the Renaissance, mathematicians were a highly environmentally sensitive group. The mathematical centers of the last century were in Europe, where the French school of Brbaki and the German school of Gögentine shared autumn colors in academic creation and influence. However, less than a quarter of a century, the school of Gögentine was almost completely overthrown and the school of Brbaki was in decline. Since then, the center of world mathematics has moved from Europe to North America. ”

“In all my years of study in Princeton, I learned a lot. Whether it's about knowledge itself or about academic culture. ”

“Drawing on the experience of history and reality, my personal greatest feeling is that academic prosperity is inseparable from an open academic environment. So at that time, I proposed to him to build China's Pu High School in Jinling, engage in purely academic research, debureaucratize and depoliticize academically. ”

After listening to the Ark, Principal Xu nodded.

He, born of scientific research, is well aware of the impact of academic bureaucracy on the efficiency of scientific research.

As a supporter of educational reform, he had also made some efforts to change that.

While some policies might be less than satisfactory, he was undoubtedly supportive of the arguments put forward by the Ark.

Especially in the case of the Ark's intention to establish a high court in China, which they had discussed a long time ago, he had made clear his position in favour of.

However, it will be difficult to support it and really implement it...

“I agree with you, but I'm afraid it's hard to implement. Especially depoliticization, which is basically impossible in terms of the wider domestic environment -”

Ark: “He agreed. ”

Principal Xu opened his eyes and looked at him incredibly.

After a pause, the ark went on to say, "He said my own institute, he could do whatever he wanted. It doesn't matter if you screw up, but if you do, you can do it on a limited scale. ”

This limited scope naturally refers to Jinling University.

But pushing it or not is secondary to the ark.

He's not an educator, he's just a scholar.

All he needed was a comfortable academic environment for him to do his research quietly.

As for the political claims, he did not use them, nor was he very interested.

However, in Principal Xu's view, these conditions put forward by the Ark are simply inconceivable.

Especially if the higher echelons can still agree, which is all the more amazing.

Principal Xu couldn't help but ask: "Are you really just talking about math? ”

“It's not just mathematics, of course,” the ark laughed with embarrassment, "and before that... we talked about controllable fusion. ”
