Chapter 165 Summer Camp Notice
"Because we don't know when you will be free this summer, and our two colleges are also worried that if our summer camp times overlap, it will be a bit difficult for you to participate then.

So, let's just ask if you have time in July and August.

If there is always time during the summer vacation in July and August, then our School of Biological Sciences and the School of Mathematics will only need to stagger the time of the summer camp.

If you have other plans for a period of time during these two months, we will put the specific time of the summer camp when you are free.

The summer camp is not long, just two or three days. "

Zhang Mingjie explained to Zhou Ming that they were mainly worried that Zhou Ming had other things to deal with during the few days at their summer camp.

"For now, I won't have anything else to do in July and August, and I probably won't go back. I'll probably be doing research at school these two months, so I should have time.

Of course, what I'm talking about is that under normal circumstances, if there are any other important things at that time, I will definitely have to deal with those things.

Therefore, I can't guarantee that I will have time during the two months of July and August during the summer vacation. "Zhou Ming explained.

Hearing what Zhou Ming said, Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi were also relieved.

Although they had already predicted this result before coming here, after all, Zhou Ming’s time at HKUST for more than half a year, he usually didn’t care much about other things except scientific research, and he never participated in it. What a miscellaneous activity.

However, before getting confirmation from Zhou Ming, their predictions were always just predictions. Now that they heard Zhou Ming's personal confirmation, they were completely relieved.

As for the other important things that Zhou Ming said, this situation is a small probability event after all. If it happens, there is nothing they can do about it. After all, it is beyond their control.

"In this case, we won't disturb you anymore. You continue to do your business, and we will leave first."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mingjie and Li Mingzhi stood up at the same time, ready to leave Zhou Ming's office.

"By the way, our School of Life Sciences should issue relevant notices about the summer camp on the 20th of this month, but the specific time of the summer camp has not been determined yet, but it will definitely be in July.

We will notify you as soon as the specific date is determined.

If Professor Zhou is interested in the summer camp, he can come to me anytime to inquire.

You can also check relevant notices on the official website of our School of Life Sciences after the 20th. "

Before leaving, Zhang Mingjie said to Zhou Ming again.

"The same goes for our School of Mathematical Sciences, but we will issue relevant notices a few days later than their School of Life Sciences, but it must also be on the twentieth of this month.

We have not yet decided on the specific time of the summer camp, and we will inform you as soon as it is confirmed.

Like their School of Life Sciences, if you are interested in other things about the summer camp of our School of Mathematical Sciences, you can call me at any time, or go to my office directly to find me.

Of course, you can also wait for the relevant notice of the summer camp to be published on the official website of the School of Mathematical Sciences, and go directly to the official website to read the relevant notice.

However, if Xiao Zhou wants to come to my office to find me, it is better to communicate with me in advance.I am also busy recently, and I am often away from the office.

If you didn't tell me in advance, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go to my office and find that I was not in the office? "

After Zhang Mingjie finished speaking, Li Mingzhi also said to Zhou Ming immediately.

After that, the two of them didn't stay here much, and left here soon.

Zhou Ming sent them to the door of the office and ignored them.

"The time flies really fast, at this time last year, Qingqiu and I were still thinking about which school we should go to for postgraduate study.

In just one year, I will participate in the summer camp as a mentor and start thinking about which students to accept as my graduate students. "

After Li Zhizhi and Zhang Mingjie left Zhou Ming's office, Zhou Ming walked back to his office seat, smiled and said to himself.

However, Zhou Ming soon stopped thinking about these things, and continued reading the book that was interrupted when Li Zhizhi and the others came over.

But Li Zhizhi and Zhang Mingjie who left Zhou Ming's office were still chatting about Zhou Ming.

"Professor Li, did you see the two books on Xiao Zhou's desk just now?" Zhang Mingjie whispered to Li Mingzhi mysteriously after leaving Zhou Ming's office.

Because Li Mingzhi called Zhou Ming Xiao Zhou, Zhang Mingjie also called Zhou Ming Xiao Zhou.

Although Li Mingzhi and Zhang Mingjie are both academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the age gap between them is actually quite large.

One was born in 1948, and both have experienced the events of that decade.

The other was born in 1966.

The age difference between the two is very different.

"Book? What book?"

Seeing Zhang Mingjie approaching him mysteriously, talking about the books on Zhou Ming's desk, Li Mingzhi was a little puzzled by the monk Zhang Er, he didn't find any strange books on Zhou Ming's desk.

"Oh, it's an "Introduction to Quantum Optics" and a fourth edition of "Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics"!"

Seeing Li Mingzhi's incomprehensible look, Zhang Mingjie directly said the names of the two books he saw on the desk in Zhou Ming's office.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Li Mingzhi still looked like he didn't understand why Zhang Mingjie was so mysterious.

"Oh, don't you think it's strange? Xiao Zhou has always been involved in the three fields of mathematics, biology and artificial intelligence. Why did he suddenly study physics?
Moreover, when I went to Zhou Ming’s residence with Xue Tian, ​​the executive dean of our School of Life Sciences, we also saw a physics book.

But that book is about electrodynamics, John David Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics", not the book on quantum mechanics that you see today, nor is it about thermodynamics.

At that time, I wondered whether Professor Zhou was going to set foot in the field of physics.

But because he has been doing experiments in the laboratory of our School of Life Sciences recently, he gradually forgot about it later.

Now it seems that Professor Zhou is still reading physics books. "

Zhang Mingjie explained to Li Mingzhi.

It wasn't until this time that Li Zhizhi knew why Zhang Mingjie had been so mysterious.

After listening to Zhang Mingjie's words, Li Mingzhi even felt a little tempted to laugh, but he held it back in the end.

"In fact, Xiao Zhou is indeed very talented in physics. You should not know this. After all, after his academic report on Goldbach's conjecture in February, he communicated with mathematicians in various fields in other countries in those two days. You are no longer on the sidelines, and did not hear the relevant communication content.

At that time, Xiao Zhou talked a lot with several experts in the field of mathematical physics present, and it was only then that I realized that he also had such a deep understanding of mathematical physics.

And also in that chat, I learned that Xiao Zhou also has some research on pure physics. "

When it was said here, Li Mingzhi also became interested, and he then praised Zhou Ming's talent and understanding in mathematical physics and pure physics in front of Zhang Mingjie.

"Several scholars in the field of mathematical physics who were present at the time were stunned by the breadth of his knowledge, because no matter what they mentioned, Zhou Ming could say a thing or two.

More importantly, Zhou Ming also proposed some very novel viewpoints to them at that time.

Of course, I don’t study this aspect, and I didn’t know that his views were very novel when I heard him say it, which is also what the mathematical physicists present at the time said..."

After Li Mingzhi finished talking about Zhou Ming's performance in the exchange meeting called "Goldbach's conjecture proof after the academic report", which was actually the "World Mathematicians Exchange Conference", Zhang Mingjie realized that Zhou Ming did not start recently. Interested in physics, but has always been interested in physics.

Otherwise, he really couldn't explain why Zhou Ming knew something about physics.

"But, since he also likes physics, why don't you see him doing physics-related research?" Zhang Mingjie asked Li Mingzhi about his doubts.

"I don't know, maybe he is interested in physics because of mathematics? Or maybe because he is too busy?
It may also be that although he is interested in physics, his understanding of physics is not as good as his understanding of mathematics, artificial intelligence, and biology. Otherwise, he would not read books like "Introduction to Quantum Optics" .

Hey, it doesn't matter why he didn't do physics-related scientific research.

This is also a good thing for our School of Mathematical Sciences and your School of Life Sciences, don't you think? "

Seeing that Zhang Mingjie was struggling with this, Li Zhiming said to him.

Zhang Mingjie heard what Li Mingzhi said, and felt that what he said was indeed reasonable.

After all, no matter how amazing you are, human energy is always limited. You have twenty hours a day just like ordinary people. It is impossible for you to have an extra hour in a day just because you are smart.

If Zhou Ming really does physics-related scientific research, then his energy on mathematics and biology will definitely decrease.

Zhang Mingjie doesn’t know whether this is a good thing for their School of Physics at HKUST. After all, Zhou Ming has no research results in physics. Even if he is a genius in biology, mathematics and artificial intelligence, can he be a genius in other fields? No one can tell.

However, Zhang Mingjie knew that this was not a good thing for the School of Life Sciences and the School of Mathematical Sciences of HKUST.

"Well, that's what you said. Since the title of "Introduction to Quantum Optics" has an introduction in it, it must be a basic book, not too esoteric.

But if he really went to study physics, we would be fine. "

Zhang Mingjie finally shrugged.

Time passed slowly again, and sure enough, on the afternoon of the 20th, the Academy of Life Sciences issued a notice titled "2016 Ninth Life Science Summer Camp Notice".

"[-]. Application conditions

'985' or '211' key colleges and universities majoring in life sciences and related majors (such as medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering, computer science, etc.) Qualified applicants are given priority

Note: Excellent academic performance, among them, '985' college students require the top 30% of their majors or grades, and '211' college students require their majors or grades to be ranked in the top 15%.

[-]. Registration method

Online registration: log on to the official website of Huaguo University of Science and Technology Summer Camp..."

[-]. Application materials

After registering online, print out the registration form and sign it..."

This notice includes the application conditions, registration method, application materials to be prepared, camper admission, treatment arrangements and contact information for this summer camp of the School of Biological Sciences of HKUST.

The application requirements for the School of Life Sciences of USTC are much stricter than those for the summer camp of the School of Life Sciences in Nankai. Its first requirement is life sciences and related majors in key universities such as '985' or '211'.

However, what puzzled Zhou Ming was why there was physics in the related majors of the School of Life Sciences?
It is understandable that you have medicine, pharmacy, chemistry, etc. Even if you have computer science, it can barely be justified.

But there is physics, which Zhou Ming really doesn't understand.

Could it be Schrödinger's cat, a new subject "quantum life science" or quantum biology that combines quantum mechanics and cats?

Speaking of quantum biology, there is indeed such a subject, which is a subject that uses quantum theory to study life sciences.

The subject of quantum biology includes the use of quantum mechanics to study biological processes and molecular dynamic structures, and the use of quantum biology to study molecular dynamic structures and energy transfer at the quantum level.

If the results obtained are consistent with macroscopic biological phenomena and are difficult to replicate with research in other disciplines, the research results are more reliable.

"However, I've been here for almost a year at USTC, and I've only heard of someone who studies quantum computing, but I've never heard of someone who studies quantum biology at HKUST?" Zhou Ming thought with some puzzlement.

However, the others are similar to the notice announced a year ago by the Nankai College of Life Sciences Summer Camp. The registration method is also online registration. You can log in to the official website of the Huaguo University of Science and Technology Summer Camp. The deadline is June 6.

Speaking of the School of Mathematics, the School of Mathematical Sciences of HKUST released a notice titled "Notice of the 26th Math Summer Camp for College Students in 2016" on the [-]th.

"1. Eligibility for application

1) Third-year (graduated in 2017) undergraduate students of related majors in domestic universities.

2) If you have excellent academic performance, you will be given priority in getting recommended exemption places in your school.

2. How to apply
Online declaration: log on to the official website of Huaguo University of Science and Technology Summer Camp...

3. Submit materials:

1) Print the form generated after online registration and sign it..."

The application qualifications for the summer camp at HKUST’s School of Mathematical Sciences seem to be looser than those at the School of Life Sciences. At least there is no clear statement that students must be students from “985” or “211” colleges, and there is no clear requirement for majors or grade rankings.

As for the application method and the materials to be submitted, they are similar to the summer camp at the School of Life Sciences, and the deadline for application is also NO.20 in June this year.

A few days after the announcement of the summer camp, at the end of April, the artificial synthesis laboratory completed several experiments, and Zhou Ming's task progress has finally reached 10/10.

Now, Zhou Ming has only one book task left, and its progress has reached 28/50.

As long as he read the remaining 22 books, Zhou Ming can complete this task, and then use the life simulator for the next simulation.

Just when Zhou Ming was preparing for the experiment of fully artificially synthesizing glucose without fermenting microorganisms, he received a piece of news that surprised him.
