Many people do not realize that in the era of mobile Internet, as long as they have a smartphone, everyone has become an information node. This naturally includes professors from Huaqing and Yanbei.
Their original intention was just to share a hot photo with their colleagues, classmates and friends. Even before posting the picture or video, they didn’t think much about it. But the fact is that when a photo that is hot enough appears in a room that is more than two years old,
After people gather in groups, the fission-type Internet communication effect is inevitable.
Not to mention that it’s not just a group of two people. Many professors start a large group of dozens or even hundreds of people. They don’t just post one at a time, they just post in groups. Anyway, as long as the two bosses are not in the group, they can post.
After all, even mathematics professors at top universities in China are all ordinary people. Their emotions, anger, sorrows, and joys are almost the same as those of normal people, and their nature of eating melons is also similar. It’s just that everyone is usually interested in different things, and the way they eat melons is different.
Naturally it is different from the content.
So while Qiao Yu's lecture was in progress, photos of Yuan Zhengxin and Tian Yanzhen in the same frame began to flood many professors' circles of friends.
In Yanbei University, Xue Song had just put down a paper and opened WeChat on his mobile phone, intending to check the circle of friends to relax. As soon as he opened it, he saw a photo like this. Qiao Yu was standing next to Mr. Yuan, and on the other side was a person.
A foreign professor, Tian Yanzhen stood opposite Mr. Yuan.
Although Tian Yanzhen is just a side face from this angle in the photo, anyone who has seen Tian Yanzhen can easily recognize it. The other person's caption is: "This is another picture I have seen for a long time. I thought I would definitely see it in my lifetime."
I can’t see a scene like this anymore.”
Xue Song was a little distracted looking at the photo.
In fact, ever since Qiao Yu called Yuan Zhengxin without hesitation that day and said a bunch of nonsense, Xue Song had guessed that such a day would definitely come. But he really didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly and so suddenly.
So fast
He shook his head and continued to scroll through Moments. Soon more photos came out. There was even a video.
In the video, Qiao Yu and Mr. Yuan are standing in front of the big screen in the lecture hall, and Mr. Yuan is speaking. "...Everyone must know Qiao Yu. He is a rising star in the field of mathematics, and he is also a member of the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center."
Students jointly trained by our Huaqing Mathematical Sciences Research Center...
After listening to these words, Xue Song also understood the reason why Tian Yanzhen appeared at Qiao Yu's lecture at Huaqing University today. It was a joint training...
However, Xue Song feels that this is indeed excellent for Qiao Yu, which means that no matter which resources Qiao Yu uses in the future, both parties will not have much disagreement. Maybe Tian Yanzhen thinks the same way, right? Xue Song
I was thinking...
This point is actually very important.
After all, although the two mathematics centers were established by two leaders, it does not mean that the two bosses can completely ignore other people's ideas. At this stage, Qiao Yu does not use too many resources, and no one has any opinions.
.
But it will be hard to say in the future.
After all, Qiao Yu is a student at Yanbei University. Who would feel comfortable if he took away the resources from Huaqing University?
The world of mathematics does need geniuses, but if we grab the resources that may belong to us, everyone may have different ideas. If we take into account Mr. Yuan's age...
Xue Song could only sigh in his heart that the two bosses really thought deeply, and they were really worried about Qiao Yu. What he could think of, and what he couldn't think of, the two bosses thought of saying that they really gave up their grudges?
I'm afraid not necessarily.
It can only be said that the two of them chose the future at the same time.
After thinking about this, Xue Song was suddenly moved, and his eyes became wet unconsciously. The art of compromise in struggle is always so easy to make people excited. He believed that the two bosses did not tell Qiao Yu this. , but in a sense, both of them believed that Qiao Yu represented the future of Chinese mathematics.
I don't know if that kid realizes...
So Xue Song directly saved many different photos in the circle of friends to his mobile phone, and then directly came to a circle of friends...
"Today is Tuesday, April 8, 2025 AD, March 11 of the lunar calendar. I believe that this day will definitely be recorded in the history of Chinese mathematics, no matter what form it takes."
..
When Xue Song sent this news out, the news had already spread throughout China's universities, research institutes, and professor circles.
Shuangdan University in Linhai, Yujiang University in Xiaozhou, Jiangcheng University in Jiangcheng, Xingnan University in Xingcheng, Shenzhen University in Shenzhou, Harbin Institute of Technology in the north, Guada University in Xilin, and even the Frontier University in the far west...
Even the circle of academicians of the Academy of Sciences has begun to discuss this matter. Internal discussions are still very reserved, but it is different on the Internet.
Qiao Yu's lecture was just halfway through, and there were already a bunch of similar questions on Zhihu.
"Academician Tian Yanzhen made a historic appearance in the Century Lecture Hall of Huaqing University Library with Mr. Yuan. Does this mean that the master and apprentice, two leaders in mathematics, shook hands and reconciled after ten years of falling out? It is said that the two shook hands The opportunity for reconciliation was Qiao Yu who appeared in many photos. Is this true?"
There was no way, by this time the news had spread from the professor circle to the student circle.
Don’t underestimate the appeal of potential hot topics on Zhihu to young people. At least from the perspective of math students, this question is bound to be on the hot list, because their various group chats have been filled with discussions for a while. If you don’t watch it, it’s 99+.
Although not everyone knows about this, those who do know are constantly discussing the past events in the group. No matter what a group of people in the group are doing, they almost all come out to eat!
The most important thing is that this matter was very popular back then. It was not only the math circle that was taking advantage of it, but everyone was taking advantage of it.
Of course, it’s not just the questioner who thinks so. For the platform, for every issue that attracts a lot of attention or is likely to become a hot topic, there will naturally be staff who will follow it or even manually handle the issue’s popularity.
Of course, if you ask and there are none, it means they are all algorithms. At the juncture of slowly entering the intelligent era, algorithms and big data are not only productivity, but also artifacts for taking the blame.
Naturally, by the time Qiao Yu's lecture ended, the question about the century-old reconciliation between the two major figures in the Chinese mathematics world had already ranked among the top three on the popular list. Yes, the three questions were all about the two people this time. They appear in the same frame, but the photos quoted are different and the focus of the questions is different.
Among them, Qiao Yu also stole the limelight from the two big guys, accounting for one of them.
After all, there is only one student jointly trained by Yanbei and Huaqing Mathematics Research Centers for so many years. Not to mention that Qiao Yu is only sixteen years old, and he should be at the age to study in the elite class.
As we all know, the mathematics elite classes on both sides are run by the Academy of Mathematical Sciences and have little to do with the research center.
The two mathematics research centers of Yanbei and Huaqing started recruiting master's degree students and did not recruit undergraduate students at all.
So this little brother Qiao Yu, how can He Dehe win this honor? At his age, shouldn't he just follow the undergraduates and take classes with professors? So is there anything different about this guy?
Don’t say CMO is number one!
Every year there is a number one CMO, and there is never a shortage of candidates with perfect scores, but no one has been valued by the two major research centers for so many years. If there are questions, there will be answers.
It's just that the answers to this question are messy, and they include everything. But soon an answer was pushed up.
"Haha... I can only say that you have little knowledge. I can't believe that there are still people who doubt Qiao Yu's background. Let's put it this way, it is indeed possible for both parties to cultivate an awesome background at the same time, but please use your brains a little. , how awesome does it take to have two big guys show up at the same time to personally support him? Can't two professors be replaced?
The reason why it is Qiao Yu and not someone else is just two words, strength! If any of you can reach the age of sixteen, read a few books and read a few papers, and the paper you write will be recognized by Ann. Math is selected and will be published soon.
Students who don’t understand the components of Ann.Math can check it out. In addition, it only took him one month to find a loophole in the geometric Langlands conjecture proof that has become very popular in the mathematics world recently. This series of proofs includes Peter Schulz and many others. All the world’s top mathematicians have praised it.
Yes, the video you are watching is Qiao Yu sharing his thoughts and experiences on finding loopholes in the proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture with mathematicians who are studying the geometric Langlands conjecture. Let alone sixteen years old, he is sixty-six years old No professor can do it either.
Believe me, if you can do any of the above things, you will be regarded as a treasure by the two big bosses, and they will even stand up for you personally. I know that conspiracy theorists will not believe anything they say. At the end of the article, I will give After reading a few of Qiao Yu's manuscripts, you will be qualified to comment on him only if you can understand them.
Don’t ask me why I know this, my office is just above his. As long as I pay attention, I can pay attention to his every move. To be honest, I was not angry, but the fact is that I am about to graduate with my PhD this year. His achievements are not even a fraction of Qiao Yu’s!
But is there any way? I can only say that there are two tracks in mathematics, one is for ordinary geniuses, and the other is for high-end geniuses to show off their skills. Do you know why I am confused? I just received too many blows at the research center.
, so I just come here to answer professional questions to gain some confidence.
Do you know why people like Qiao Yu most likely won’t become a new answerer in a place like Zhihu? Because he can easily find confidence from doctors like me, or even the professors around him!”
There are more than a dozen pictures placed under the answer, all of which are manuscript papers that Qiao Yuli usually uses for derivation and calculations. There are also various sketches on them that may seem messy to outsiders.
The draft naturally has its own logic, but as long as you can understand it, you don't need to use very strict wording so that others can understand it, so it looks like a pile of symbols to others.
The most shocking thing is the last picture. More than a dozen pieces of manuscript paper are stacked randomly on the desk. They seem to be full of things that everyone can't understand. Of course, everyone understands the author's style.
Most people would probably not pay attention to such an answer. After all, this is a place full of magical stories.
But the respondent not only has the badge of the 2023 New Knowledge Respondent, but has also passed real-name authentication. He is a Ph.D. from Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center. Looking through this guy’s past answers, almost all of them are questions for mathematics majors, especially geometry.
Provide professional answers to the questions.
The answers given were not only well received by the questioners, but also the credibility of the answers soared when ordinary people could not understand them at all.
In the era of professional segmentation, human wisdom is not only reflected in the understanding of professional knowledge, but also in the awe of professional knowledge that one does not understand.
There is no doubt that both the respondent's previous answers and the manuscripts he released have achieved this perfectly. Even if his answers are a little unpleasant. What does it mean to be a respondent on Zhihu just to find confidence?
?Hey... I can only say that this guy really found the right place.
Although there have even been figures like PhD supervisors appearing on Zhihu in recent years, they are still in the minority after all, and mathematics has its own particularities. Quantum physics is also very abstract, but it can be listened to as a story.
But it is difficult to tell the geometric Langlands conjecture into a story.
Some people didn't believe it and searched for the geometric Langlands conjecture. In the era of intelligent Internet, pure English papers can be directly translated into Chinese using artificial intelligence, and then they came back confused.
"I, what are these things? Functors, stacks, homogeneity, star modular surfaces, pseudo-modular forms... Is this artificial intelligence making words, or is the mathematics I learned different from this mathematics?
Why can’t I understand what they are trying to express at all?”
"You're right if you don't understand. Believe me, the number of mathematicians in the world who have done research on the Langlands conjecture does not exceed four digits, and those who have achieved results do not exceed three digits. And those who have made results, every one of them counts.
They are all pretty awesome people! Let’s put it this way, this is an area that even math and civil sciences dare not touch.”
"The answer is awesome! As for Qiao Yu... is his sixteen-year-old a little different from other people's sixteen-year-olds? I think if a person is a little normal, it is impossible for him to start to be exposed to the Langlands conjecture at the age of sixteen
Right? He can actually find loopholes in others, right?"
There is also a hot comment in the comment area.
"Fuck! This Qiao Yu is my junior high school classmate! We have such an awesome person in Class 13? Does that mean I'm pretty awesome too?" "I'm an awesome person in the key class, right? Then don't you do it now?
Should I go to high school? Why can you still play Tonghu during class time today on Tuesday?
"No, what kind of key class is it? How awesome is Class 13 of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School? Go and find out. In the vocational school I went to, the teachers didn't even check their phones during class, okay?" "???" in the row below.
"Probably shows people's troubles.
After all, among the classmates of the same age, some have become mathematical geniuses trained by the two major mathematics centers of Huaqing and Yanbei, while others are attending vocational schools. This contrast seems too great and is indeed difficult for people to understand.
Most people didn't believe it. However, when the other party sent out a killer copper, posted a group photo of the class, and circled the locations of Qiao Yu and himself... the comment was deleted not long after.
There is no other reason, mainly because the news has spread to Xingtie No. 1 Middle School
Coincidentally, even Principal He saw this question and noticed the answer. When he saw that there was a former boss from Class 13 playing on Duanhu in the comment area and even posted a photo, he almost ran away.
It only took twenty minutes to get in touch with this classmate who was in class at a vocational school in Xingcheng and was playing Zhihu on his mobile phone. When the news became so popular on Zhihu that even the principal of the middle school saw it, it was enough to show that the matter had been broken.
Circled
It even triggered a hot search on Weibo. After all, this is the base camp for eating melons. Aren’t the melons in the academic circle also melons?
Many popular science accounts even retold events from more than ten years ago, and then focused on the achievements of these two people in the world of mathematics, to tell everyone how valuable it is for Mr. Yuan and Academician Tian to appear in the same photo.
Moreover, the self-media on Weibo is obviously more bold, directly releasing words such as the Great Reconciliation of the Century.
That's all. The official Weibo of the Blue V certification of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - the Voice of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also liked this Weibo. Good guy, the big guys of the Academy of Sciences are also taking advantage of it, right?
The official WeChat account of Huaqing University also liked it, and the official WeChat account of Yanbei University followed closely. It directly made many Weibo netizens excited.
So many official accounts from China's top academic circles came out to like it... This is a high-end game that is rare in a century. In short, God knows how many people are behind it, so this topic has become popular on Weibo. Weibo hot search list
There is also an additional topic on the Internet, how awesome is Qiao Yu?
The answer of a doctor from the Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center on Understanding Ping was directly forwarded. According to the doctor’s description, most users on Understanding Ping already think Qiao Yu is awesome, but I’m sorry, it’s obvious that on Weibo there are still
If it's not enough, Qiao Yu still has to practice.
Of course, there is no way to explain to some Weibo users who asked, "Can he win the Nobel Prize in the future if he is so awesome?" There is actually no Nobel Prize in Mathematics. After all, they probably don't care if there is one, because if you don't win it, you are too good.
.
But no matter what, Qiao Yu still became popular.
It became so popular in the friend group that Gong Jiatao created a new group, and dragged Yu Wei and Yu Yongjun into a new group to chat about Qiao Yu. Gong Jiatao: "Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me... You see on the Internet
Any news? Qiao Yu is so popular!"
Yu Yongjun: "I saw it, I don't know what to say, @ Chan 无知雪, please give a speech to classmate Yu Wei who regards my eldest brother as the goal he pursues throughout his life." Yu Wei: "...
Yu Yongjun: "Brother, don't evade the topic. Just tell me whether you want to pursue me or not?" Yu Wei: "If you don't want to pursue me, just go away!"
Gong Jiatao: "Don't use voice input, I can't understand it! It's just like the geometric Langlands conjecture. I can't even understand the question...Why does Qiao Yu still participate in IMO? This is not for our hearts.
Is it adding to the congestion? Everyone’s tracks are completely different, right?”
Yu Yongjun: "When a strong man climbs to the top, he also needs a background. Unfortunately, you two are both backgrounds." Yu Wei: "Get out! Aren't you a background?"
Yu Yongjun: "Of course I'm not. I'm Big Brother's younger brother and follower. My loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon. I won't die unless Big Brother is cool with me! By the way, I've taken screenshots of all your offenses against Big Brother. I don't want me to expose the things behind your back."
If you send this small talk to my elder brother, I suggest you V me fifty."
Less than two seconds after this sentence was sent, Yu Yongjun saw a message: You have been removed from the group chat. Ha...
This guy Lao Gong is so wretched!...
That's what happened. After Qiao Yu had dinner with the two big guys, almost the entire Internet was filled with news that the two big guys in the Chinese mathematics community were shaking hands and making peace. There were also hot searches about Qiao Yu, and the topic was even popular.
Suppressed the gossip that a certain celebrity was photographed cheating during the Qingming Festival.
Obviously, it is impossible for the two big guys to shake hands and make peace out of nowhere. There must be some story between them.
However, as Qiao Yu's experience during this period was dug out, and after analysis by popular science bloggers, many people came to the conclusion that the question is the answer. Mr. Yuan personally stood on the podium and announced to Qiao Yu
Yu has become a joint training target of the two major mathematics research centers of Yanbei and Huaqing. Isn’t this common ground?
The effect was obvious. Qiao Yu didn't do anything. His real-name verified Weibo account had a huge increase in fans. After such a long time, it only had more than 30,000 fans. But after this matter became a hot search, Qiao Yu
The number of Weibo fans has already reached 150,000.
One topic surged five times.
This made Xu Shu, who had been following Qiao Yu's Weibo, very sad.
For no other reason, Qiao Yu seems to have forgotten Weibo again during this period. He has never logged in at all, let alone posted a new Weibo. The last Weibo he posted was the day he took the CMO for the first time. Since that day, according to
Backend records show that Qiao Yu has never logged in.
With such a huge popularity, if Qiao Yu posts on Weibo again, wouldn't the rate of increase in followers be even more popular?
Moreover, Qiao Yu's traffic is very high-quality, and there is almost no possibility of overturning and causing too much negative public opinion. But now Xu Shu really doesn't have the courage to keep sending messages to Qiao like last time.
Metaphorical.
After all, last time, even if Qiao Yu won the first place in CMO, he was just a middle school student. But now Qiao Yu is different.
A close disciple of the academician, a joint training target of the two major schools in China, a mathematical genius with high hopes in the Chinese mathematics community... In an instant, Xu Shu felt that he could only look up to him...
So he hesitated for a long time before carefully sending a message on WeChat... He didn't even dare to ask "Are you there?"
Instead, I sent the suggestion directly into a paragraph.
"Classmate Qiao Yu, congratulations on your recent achievements. If you have time, you might as well log in to Weibo. The number of fans has increased very quickly today. If you can spare time to post a Weibo recording of your life, I believe the effect will be even greater.
Okay. After all, this is also a voice channel on the Internet, isn’t it?”
But after the news was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. But Xu Shu didn't care.
The message can still be sent, which means that this future star in mathematics has not deleted his WeChat account. Xu Shu feels that this has already given him a lot of face...
Xingcheng, Changjun Middle School, during dinner time, Xia Keke walked out of the classroom with her good friends in the same class, planning to go out for food. As soon as she walked out of the teaching building, she happened to meet the math teacher who was coming back from outside.
The two of them took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Teacher Yang."
"Well, hey, wait a minute, Xia Keke, I remember you went to Xingtie No. 1 Middle School in junior high school, right?" "Yes, Teacher Yang, what's wrong?"
"Then do you recognize Qiao Yu? He's also one of your Tie Yizhong students."
"You know, Qiao Yu lives downstairs from my house. He's my brother. He goes to Yanbei University. By the way, my last paper was sent to me by my brother Qiao Yu." I heard the math teacher take the initiative to ask Qiao Yu.
Yu, Xia Keke immediately replied proudly.
"Then your brother is doing great things now. He is now a joint training target of Yanbei International Mathematics Research Center and Huaqing Yuan Zhengxin Mathematics Research Center. He can solve world-class mathematics problems at the age of sixteen. It will be much better when you are admitted to university.
Communicate with him."
Teacher Yang sighed with emotion.
"Ah? Qiao Yu is so good now?" This news made Xia Keke and her best friends widen their eyes. After all, world-class math problems still sound scary to high school students, not to mention that this is certified by the teacher.
of.
For a mathematics teacher who can establish himself in the science experimental class of a prestigious school like Changjun Middle School, there is no doubt about his teaching ability. At least it is enough to convince the top students in the class.
"It's definitely better than you think. You can contact him more during the weekends. Find out more about the mathematics summer camps at Yanbei University or Huaqing University." Teacher Yang gave a very vague suggestion.
He saw among his classmates that many sources had confirmed that Qiao Yu's paper would definitely be published in Ann.Math next month. Even his junior fellow student when he was a Ph.D. student had downloaded Qiao Yu's paper on the pre-publication website, giving The reviews are also very high.
Although he is only a high school teacher now, those who have studied Ph.D. will naturally know what it means to publish a paper on Ann.Math. For undergraduates, it is not too much to graduate in place and be given the title of associate professor.
This is still under the current situation where non-thesis theory has been advocated. If he were left to study for a Ph.D., I am afraid that the school would directly release a staff to keep him. Such a student helps the sister next door whom he knows well to win. An opportunity to go to summer camp to exercise is probably just a matter of words.
As for two years later...
Even if eighteen-year-old Qiao Yu was promoted to professor, Teacher Yang didn't think it was strange. He could find loopholes in the proof process of the geometric Langlands conjecture at the age of sixteen. The teacher didn't dare to think about what he could do at the age of eighteen. .
"Huh? Teacher Yang, how did you know that Brother Qiao Yu also suggested that I go to the summer camp to exercise? But he said that I must first be able to independently solve the altitude training problems he mailed to me. It would make sense to go there. I feel like I still A little worse."
Xia Keke replied with some distress.
Qiao Yu sent her so-called advanced training questions, and she could only solve about 40% of the questions independently. In other words, she could only get 40% of the 100% questions, which was really shocking.
Teacher Yang shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate yourself. The high-level questions Qiao Yu gave you are still very difficult. Generally speaking, the questions in the Women's Mathematics Olympiad are simpler than those high-level questions."
After saying that, Teacher Yang glanced at the female classmate beside Xia Keke and said with a smile: "Chen Xiwen, why don't you go to the cafeteria first? "Okay, Teacher Yang." The girl looked at Xia Keke and said, "Then I'll go first. I’ll wait for you in the cafeteria.”
"good."
Teacher Yang said: "It's okay, you go first, Xia Keke and I will finish chatting in two minutes."
After watching the girl leave, Teacher Yang said: "Xia Keke, your grades are actually very good. You have to have confidence. In this way, I will help you apply for this summer vacation. Although you may not be selected, but go and meet It’s good to see the world. By the way, you should also tell Qiao Yu after submitting the materials.
Xia Keke blinked and said, "Thank you, Teacher Yang."
"Okay, let's go eat." Teacher Yang said to Xia Keke with a smile, and then walked into the teaching building. In fact, Chen Xiwen didn't go far, so Xia Keke took a few steps to catch up.
"Xia Keke, what did Teacher Yang tell you just now?" "Nothing, I just asked about something about my brother."
"Humph, you are dishonest. I guess Teacher Yang must have asked your brother to help. To be honest, can you go to Yanbei University's math summer camp in the summer?" "Don't make trouble, it's impossible. My brother doesn't He knows how to do this kind of thing, even if I tell him, he will still say it based on his own ability!"
Xia Keke corrected her best friend's words.
I feel very proud, but also feel a little panicked.
Her brother Qiao Yu ran too fast, and she could no longer keep up.
Such an outstanding brother can't be beaten away by those coquettish seniors at Yanbei University?! How annoying!
Qiao Yu was actually a little worried.
Many netizens on the Internet are worshiping him, and are envious, jealous, and resentful that he can sit in the C seat between the two big bosses, but only he knows how uncomfortable it is to sit in this seat while eating.
No matter who you talk to on either side, you have to be careful and go through it in your mind several times. That’s it. Why are you piling all kinds of vegetables into his bowl?
Both bosses like to watch him eat? Would it be good for him to do a mukbang show?
All in all, this was the most lively and troublesome meal Qiao Yu had since coming to the capital. It wasn't the end yet.
During the dinner, Mr. Yuan also mentioned in front of Director Tian that he hoped Qiao Yu could join his research team - Associate Professor Li Lixing from the research center, Professor Ronald from the University of California, Berkeley, and Professor Zhang Xinwen from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. .
The team's current research topic is the two-dimensional generalization of Chevalet's theorem for all reduced Lie algebras and reduced algebraic groups.
In Mr. Yuan's words, it was not his opinion that Qiao Yu could join the team, but Professor Li had already mentioned this matter to two collaborators, and the other two collaborators agreed.
In other words, this is the first research group to formally invite Qiao Yu. Mr. Yuan also made it very clear why he invited Qiao Yu to join the research group.
The key to solving this problem lies in how to calculate the global function on the commutative heap. The team hopes to use Langlands duality to convert it into the calculation of the Whitaker layer in the cocenter of the affine Heckian category.
Langlands duality is a core concept in the geometric Langlands conjecture. Qiao Yu happened to show that he has a deep understanding of the geometric Langlands conjecture. Moreover, Qiao Yu's thinking is very active, maybe he can help their team Bring some new ideas.
It is said that they originally planned to invite Professor Pan to join. But Professor Pan is obviously not available, because in the coming time, it will take a lot of time and energy to make up for the loopholes raised by Qiao Yu.
Really, Qiao Yu was a little uncomfortable with Mr. Yuan poaching people so openly.
After all, he is from Yanbei, and he has never experienced the feeling of joining other people's research groups in Yanbei. It is somewhat unkind.
Fortunately, Director Tian just said lightly: "Since Mr. Yuan has spoken, just agree. If you really make a result and you have a contribution, add your name when the paper is published. If you can't make a contribution, just It’s time to go to the research group for training.”
The two big guys said this, so Qiao Yu could only agree.
So after dinner, on the way back to Yanbei University, Qiao Yu carried a bunch of manuscripts in his bag. Not only that, but there was also a bunch of information on the Internet. He had no choice but to join a research group that had been established for more than half a year. First, you need to understand all the previous work of your collaborators.
But Qiao Yu is very familiar with this job.
It's probably just a matter of going through it in my mind, and it doesn't even take much time. Anyway, the cycle of this kind of mathematical research project is calculated in years. So Qiao Yu also decided that he would have to join a project team when he returned to Yanbei, and he would be exposed to both rain and dew. , we must not favor one over the other.
So he got off the car at the entrance of Yanbei University, and after saying goodbye to the other professors, Qiao Yu took the initiative to keep Director Tian behind.
"Director Tian, ​​why don't you give me some more responsibilities? Anyway, I am idle every day. You can also introduce me to a research group. When I get tired from reading the information here, I will go do that as a rest. brain.
What he said made Tian Yanzhen couldn't help but glare at this guy and asked: "Is idle still idle?"
Qiao Yu said eloquently: "Think about those serious high school students who have to get up at 5:30 every morning, go to bed at 11 in the evening, and have to memorize vocabulary while eating. I am already very free. How can I say that? With?
By the way, only by enduring hardship can you become a master. As long as you can't learn to death, learn to death... Geniuses are not only smarter than ordinary people, but they also have to be more diligent than ordinary people! Otherwise, if they are kicked out by others, Wouldn’t it be very shameful to get married?”
Tian Yanzhen felt a little emotional. It was indeed better to be young and have endless energy. However, since this boy made a request, Tian Yanzhen decided to satisfy him.
"Okay, since you feel free... let's do this. I won't let you do theoretical research. Professor Zhang Zuolin from the School of Chemistry happened to find the research center. She ran into some trouble with a horizontal project. She wanted to ask us for help. Since you are free, go and help them if you have nothing to do."
Qiao Yu was stunned and asked suspiciously: "A horizontal subject in the School of Chemistry? What does it mean?"
Tian Yanzhen shook his head and said, "Why are your concerns always so strange? Horizontal projects are generally research projects commissioned by or cooperating with companies, and they have more practical applications.
Vertical projects refer to projects approved by superior units. For example, if you apply for a project from the Natural Science Foundation in the future, it will be a vertical project. There are generally more vertical projects in the School of Mathematics and the Research Center.
For example, the project Mr. Yuan invited you to join today is a project established by the China Natural Science Foundation, and this is a vertical project."
Qiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Isn't it possible to make money on horizontal projects? Just like the project they said today that Peter Schultz cooperated with Microsoft, it must be a lot, right?"
Tian Yanzhen glared at Qiao Yu again: "If the company cooperates with the university laboratory, the funding problem will definitely be solved, but it will definitely not be as much as you think. And you are just doing a favor, why do you care whether others make money or not? ?
"Oh." Qiao Yu nodded, but he felt that Director Tian's sudden anger must be because he asked about his knowledge blind spot.
But Qiao Yu continued to ask: "Then do you know what kind of project this is? Why do you want help from our mathematics department?"
Tian Yanzhen replied: "It is common for chemical laboratories to ask us for help with mathematical models. As for their project, it seems that a state-owned enterprise commissioned them to make a cobalt-based catalyst to improve the conversion efficiency of methanol. I will give details. I don’t know, you’ll know once you go there.
Tomorrow I will push your WeChat to Professor Zhang, and he will ask the doctor who is specifically responsible for project promotion to contact you. When you go, just follow their requirements. Don't do anything that is not your responsibility.
Ask more questions. Think of it as your math practice course.
Then he glanced at Qiao Yu who was thoughtful and said: "Professor Lu Huazhou from the research center is very good at this and has cooperated with the chemistry laboratory many times. I will also recommend his WeChat to you, if you encounter
If you have any questions, you can always ask Professor Lu for advice, and be open-minded.
Qiao Yu nodded and said confidently: "Oh, okay! Director Tian, ​​don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
Tian Yanzhen suggested: "Well, it's best if you can help. It doesn't matter if you can't help. The other party won't blame you. The main reason for exposing you to these projects is to let you understand the specific aspects of mathematics in other subjects.
application.
You will definitely do theoretical mathematics research in the future, but currently China is also short of applied mathematicians. The research center also needs to train some applied mathematicians who can adapt to the current development of China. So all I ask of you is to understand.
.
The main focus should be on the Huaqing project first. If you can really make achievements in Professor Li's project, it will be a great help to your future development. After all, this is a Natural Science Foundation project."
Qiao Yu probably understood.
Sure enough, Director Tian still felt sorry for him...
But it doesn't matter. In fact, in Qiao Yu's opinion, it would be good to do more horizontal projects. After all, the company will definitely make more money.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask again: "By the way, Director Tian, ​​if the horizontal project achieves results, does the patent belong to the laboratory or the company?"
This time Tian Yanzhen didn't answer at all. After glancing at Qiao Yu, he turned to look at the lights in the research center and said leisurely: "You will know this question when you become the scientific research leader of a specific project. Okay, you
Go back to the center, I’m going back too.”
Qiao Yu returned to his room in low spirits.
Hey, Director Tian still deceived him like a child, which is really a helpless thing. Scientific research leader - isn't that a matter of time? What's the point of talking to him in advance?
Putting the information randomly on the table, Qiao Yu sat at the large desk in his dormitory and began to review today's encounters.
Obviously, compared to Director Tian, ​​Grandpa Shi is more urgent and radical in hoping to promote him as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be forced into the research team. Although it seems that the team needs him very much, Qiao Yu feels that
The actual situation is most likely that Grandpa Shi made a strong recommendation in the middle.
Director Tian's recommendation for him to go was very perfunctory.
He is not required to produce results, but is asked to understand. This is obviously to pave the way for him in the future.
But it's understandable, after all, Director Tian is only in his sixties, and Mr. Yuan is already almost 80. So it's understandable that Mr. Yuan has a more radical mentality. After all, time is not forgiving...
However, Qiao Yu felt that since he had taken over the matter, both parties must do a good job.
Not to mention that from the perspective of realizing life's branch ideals, there is no doubt that application is definitely more profitable than theory. In short, every step must be taken steadily. Make plans for the future in your heart, Qiao Yu He took out his phone and took a look at it, and suddenly found that his phone was exploding...
Okay, using the word "explosion" here is too exaggerated. After all, the safety of the domestic mobile phone he used is still very guaranteed, but if he uses the word "explosion", it should not be a big problem. Because he is the guest speaker today, in order to ensure that he will not be exposed during the explanation. Interrupted, Qiao Yu specifically set his phone to do not disturb mode.
After the lecture, he was kept chatting with a group of professors, and then had a meal. On the way back, he was chatting with Director Tian again, so he never took out his phone to look at it. As a result, he now has seven missed calls in the notification bar. There are a lot of messages @him on WeChat.
Really, just opening WeChat would be stuck for a long time... Qiao Yu glanced out the window subconsciously...
Chapter completed!
