Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It's 9: 00 PM.

Sheraton Hotel Presidential Suite.

Standing next to the landing window, the ark received a call from across the Pacific Ocean.

“Your sister has arrived peacefully. ”

“Okay, I know… thank you. ”

“You're welcome,” Qin Yue on the other side of the phone laughed, “By the way, she's living in a student apartment now... or I'll give her your house, I also have plans to rent a slightly smaller apartment near the school. ”

When the Ark left Princeton and returned home, he gave Qin Yue the keys to the small villa in the nearby town and the Ford Mustang, so that he could pay a real estate tax for himself every year.

After all, the older this thing gets, the longer it stays uninhabited, the less it stays. Especially in northern states like New Jersey, when there is no one left in the house in the winter, there is a risk of a freeze-cracking water pipe crushing the roof.

Though I don't think I'll have a chance to go back and check it out, the house and the fireplace inside, the ark loves it.

The ark shook its head and said, "No, I told her about it this time of the year, and she refused without thinking. And then I thought," Well, it's not that downtown, and I'm not sure if she's a girl living in a house this big. "If you're not going to live there, ask Vera or the other professors in Prince if they're interested. ”

In fact, the thought of Xiaotong can be felt in the heart of the Ark.

On the one hand, she thanked herself for spreading her wings to protect her from the rain since she was a little girl. She also relied on this feeling, but on the other hand, her personality was similar to that of herself. She was the kind of person who didn't want to cause trouble for others, eager to lead an independent life, eager to one day stop relying on herself, no longer her own little baggage, or even to help herself in turn...

In fact, what the Ark wants to say is that he doesn't mind being dependent on her, much less seeing it as a burden.

After all, they're family.

And the relationship between family members is inherently based on an interdependence...

Qin Yue laughed and said: “I didn't say I wasn't going to live there anymore, $3,000 a year can rent such a big house, this kind of good thing has not been found all over North America. I'm just saying if your sister needs it, I'll go find the house myself. But you're right, it's not convenient for a girl to live in such a remote place. ”

Student apartments in Princeton, although inexpensive, are close to campus facilities and safe. Qin Yue, who lived in Xiaotong, remembered that he was still a double apartment. If he had a roommate, he would be able to integrate more quickly into school life.

After asking briefly about Xiaotong's situation over there, the Ark put her things aside for a while and chatted with her old students.

“What do you say? Are you used to your life? ”

Qin Yue smiled and replied: “I've always been used to it. It's enough for me to have a place to focus on research. The only thing I'm not used to is that you're gone, and I can't learn from you when I have a problem. ”

Ark: “You're already a professor, and you want to learn from me, you should think about it yourself. So, what have you been working on lately? ”

“Hualin's problem in additive mathematics...: Speaking of this, Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh,“ This thing reminds me of my head every day! Sometimes I think it makes sense that few people are studying mathematics, and often you run into a problem that looks like pure prime numeral piling, and you go into it and you find it to be an algebraic geometry problem. Polarization, however, is an algebraic geometry solution that does not solve the problem, and finally introduces representational theory, p-adic theory, etc… and of course, your cluster approach. ”

“It's actually a good thing,” the Ark laughed, "Isn't that how our science progresses? ”

Qin Yue was helpless: “That's true, but it's not very friendly for those who study these issues. Sometimes I wonder, if there is a way to quickly come up with the problem we want to solve in a qualitative sense, how to solve it...”

Ark: “I'm afraid it's not the mathematics, it's the basics. ”

Qin Yue: “Maybe. ”

The topic went here and was suddenly silent for a while.

After such a long chat, Qin Yue always felt that there was something the Ark seemed to want to say, just maybe because he didn't know how to talk, he had been circling with him.

Just as he hesitated to take the initiative to break this point, the silent ark suddenly opened up somewhat suddenly.

“Vera, is she... okay? ”

Not surprisingly, Qin Yue insinuated, and then sighed and said.

“I asked for you, but I haven't heard anything useful... she's not very willing to talk about her situation and doesn't know if she found something, she's intentionally hiding from me now. Later, I tried to ask Molina, who was working with her on Lehman's guess, but she didn't want to talk too much. ”

After hearing this, the ark was silent for a while.

“… thank you, I understand. ”

After a pause, he continued.

“If she's really not going to say anything, don't force her. ”

Qin Yue: “Are you going to hang up? ”

“Well, if nothing happens.” Looking at the wall clock, the ark continued, "After all, it's not too early on my side. ”

After a moment of hesitation, Qin Yue asked, “Can I ask you a question? I used to really want to ask about...”

Ark: "… if it's an academic question, ask. ”

Qin Yue, who was interrupted, sighed softly and said: “Forget it, I won't ask...”

……

Sitting in the next room, Wang Peng, who had just finished shaving his beard, was sitting beside the bed, inspecting the equipment in the lower suitcase in accordance with the usual practice.

At this point, the hallway outside the door was hidden in footsteps.

From the sound of footsteps, he heard who it was and threw his gear back in his suitcase. He stood up and walked to the front door. Almost as soon as the knock rang, he grabbed the door handle and opened it.

“What is it?”

Standing at the door, the ark whispered.

“Drinking? My treat. ”

The look on the face of the ark seemed to reveal something. Wang Peng said after a few seconds of silence: "You can only smoke cigarettes and not drink alcohol during working hours, but if you want, I can accompany you. ”

“What kind of escort? ”

Wang Peng Geng replied straightaway: "Watch beside me and carry you back when you are drunk. ”

The ark shook its head with a smile.

“Drunk? Me? Come on...”

Looking at the ark that turned and walked towards the elevator, Wang Peng did not say much. He closed the door and followed him to the elevator. He even reached out and pressed the button on the floor where the bar was located.

At first sight, the Ark looked at him and said nothing.

Without saying a word, he walked to the ark in front of the bar, sat on a bench with high feet, and then looked at the bartender behind the bar and said.

“A whisky water cut. ”

“Wait a minute. ”

Looking at the bartender's hand like Kirin's arm, Wang Peng seemingly predicted that the Ark would drink a lot tonight, so he was silent for a while and cautioned beside him.

“Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, I suggest you drink less. ”

As a result, he did not expect that the ark, which had always been very persuasive, was a change of course this time.

“Never mind. ”

I took the cup from the bartender, I rudely threw down the ark with one sentence, and I didn't say a word, just one drink.

When exactly did it stop, the ark was not well remembered.

By the time he returned to God, it was the next morning...
