I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 657 An unimaginable lineup of auditors, and the final defense of the student career!

Wearing the "blessings" of countless classmates, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun held hands, walked past the famous classical timer sundial engraved with "actions speak louder than words", walked through the historic auditorium, and came to the Ph.D. The designated place for the defense is in a very rhythmic lecture hall in the third teaching building.

The undulating curved ceiling, complemented by smooth lighting, makes the interior look very clear, spacious and soft.

This is the lecture hall with the most modern and fashionable design features of Qingmu University. Recently, the latest screenless projection technology and volley handwriting technology have been introduced.

On the top of the lecture hall, a line of large characters is being projected in mid-air with stereoscopic 3D projection technology - "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's dissertation defense meeting for Ph. Video recording from three directions.

It can be said that in order to make Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's last graduation defense in their student careers a historical mark of the school, Qingmu University has spent a lot of thought.

When Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun walked into the classroom, they were first dazzled by the somewhat exaggerated and technological venue, and then they were startled by the gorgeous lineup sitting in the auditorium.

The amphitheatre, which can seat 150 people, is actually full at this time, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly professors who look like scholars.

Qin Ke originally only heard that Zhou Shanchun, the head of the physics department, and the physics professors in the department would come, but now he saw principal Huang Ruide, vice president Gu Bojun and other school leaders in the first row, and even three school leaders from the next door Yanda University came , Dozens of physics professors.

Huh?Isn't Jiao Yanwen, president of the Physics Society, and a few officers over there?Jin Yunlin, editor-in-chief of "Journal of Physics", and others, leaders and professors from Aurora University, Chenghai Jiaotong University, Jingcheng University of Science and Technology, and Xiaguo University of Science and Technology also came...

Qin Ke couldn't help but froze at the door.

Is this too exaggerated?Isn't it just a doctoral dissertation defense meeting?Even if there are a few academician-level industry leaders as judges, there is no need for so many observers, right?Besides, several of the spectators were academicians.

If he hadn't seen the large 3D characters projected in mid-air, Qin Ke would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place if he was sure that this was really the scene of his and Ning Qingyun's doctoral thesis defense.

Qin Ke was complaining in his heart, but heard a somewhat familiar voice behind him:

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Ning, you two came quite early."

When Qin Ke and the others turned their heads, they saw their old acquaintance, Academician Wen Yuanping, vice president of the Xia Ke Academy, looking at them with a smile.

Academician Wen Yuanping was followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom should be researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences. Qin Ke had seen a few of them in Duan Yonggong's J-92 breakwater experiment.

"Hello, Academician Wen." Ning Qingyun greeted very politely.

Qin Ke was not polite to Academician Wen Xuanping, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Wen, why are you here?"

"Xiao Ning, you have already said that you can call me Uncle Wen just like Qin Ke, and you will be born if you call me Academician Wen." Wen Yuanping looked at the two with smiles in his eyes, and joked: "Xiao Qin, you Don't you realize that today has a special meaning?"

Qin Ke was stunned: "Isn't today just a defense meeting? Can it have any special significance?"

These days, his mind is full of computational seed science and perfect desert sweet potatoes. Even the essays and PPTs that will be used today are just re-familiarized before going to bed last night. At this time, Academician Wen's question It really made Qin Ke unable to react for a while.

He thought to himself, isn't today just going through the motions and completing a thesis defense?Then Mr. Jiang Weixian recommended the two to his academician friends, even if the two had formally left the school and entered the field of physics.

Seeing Academician Wen Xuanping smiling and looking at the auditorium without saying a word, Qin Ke suddenly came to his senses.

That's right, last month he and Ning Qingyun established a mathematical model with fluid mechanics at the desert weather station and successfully predicted extreme weather. .This time, professors from various colleges and universities gathered here, just to see how many "jinliang" they have through their doctoral dissertations, and whether they can dominate the world like mathematics.

But the school leaders of those famous universities came here for his and Ning Qingyun's future career choices.After all, after completing the doctoral dissertation defense process, the two of them are basically officially separated from their status as students, and can focus on teaching and scientific research.

Now Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have not signed a work agreement with any school, and even the previous professorship of mathematics was in the form of "special invitation" or "guest".

The news that the two will take over Jiang Weixian's Fluid Mechanics Laboratory has not spread, and the major universities naturally want to hire the two back to teach and set up scientific research laboratories as soon as possible.

In front of him, academician Wen Xuanping brought a group of experts and professors from the Institute of Physics, Xia Guo Academy of Sciences, probably to invite them to work in the Institute of Physics.

Seeing Qin Ke's expression from a little bewildered to quickly recovering, Academician Wen Xuanping secretly praised him, he is really an extremely clever kid.He patted Qin Ke on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, you go in and prepare for your defense first, and I will find you after the defense is over."

A bespectacled man in his early thirties suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Professor Qin, I've admired you for a long time." His attitude seemed polite, but there was also a hint of arrogance.

Wen Xuanping frowned slightly, but quickly disappeared, and said with a smile: "This is Dr. Qi Wenrui, an associate researcher in our Institute of Physics. He is the last disciple of Academician He, the director of the Institute of Physics, and is also a famous talent. , both arts and science, have done experiments and written materials, and have published papers in "Applied Physics Letters (APL)" in the past two years. You are all young talents, and you can communicate more in the future."

Applied Physics Letters is an academic journal published by the American Federation of Physics and one of the four top journals in the international physics community. It mainly publishes papers in the direction of applied physics, and it is also one of the target journals that Qin Ke intends to contribute in the future one.

Because the included papers are short and many, and the review requirements are relatively lower than PRL, Xia Guo has about 30 people who can publish papers on it every year.However, there are more than one million talents in the physics field of Xia Kingdom, and Qi Wenrui has published papers on this for two consecutive years, which is indeed something to be proud of.

Qin Ke felt a little upset when he saw that Qi Wenrui was about to shake hands with him, but he kept sneaking glances at Ning Qingyun.But for Academician Wen Xuanping's sake, he reached out and shook his hand casually.

Seeing that Qi Wenrui still wanted to shake hands with Ning Qingyun, Qin Ke immediately stood in front of Ning Qingyun and said with a smile: "Professor Qi, you look really young and promising. I don't know which job you are responsible for in the Institute of Physics?"

An associate researcher is also an associate professor, but they are not responsible for specific teaching tasks. It is a common practice in the industry to be called a "professor".

Qi Wenrui was also a little displeased with Qin Ke's hippie smiling face, but he still replied: "I am engaged in scientific research in the State Key Laboratory of Magnetism, and I am in charge of the research on ultra-conventional magnetoelectric electronic functional materials. I heard that the topic of Professor Qin's doctoral thesis is It is "Establishing a Fluid Dynamics Model with the NS Equation as the Core, and Improving the Efficiency of Magneto-Hydrofluid Power Generation", and there must be research on magnetoelectric electrons, so please give me your advice if you have the opportunity."

He said "advise me a lot", but his expression was vaguely provocative.

In fact, he really doesn't have a good impression of Qin Ke. You are so good at mathematics, so just hang out with your mathematics world. Why step on the physics world?

Qi Wenrui was born in an academic family. His grandfather was an academician. He has been a top student since he was a child. After studying for a doctorate in the Institute of Physics, his achievements are still outstanding in the Institute. He won the Outstanding Newcomer Award of the Xia Guo Physics Society, and his articles published in Xia Guo's "Journal of Physics" were also selected as "top academic papers in high-quality scientific and technological journals".

It can be said that Qi Wenrui is the most outstanding young talent in the institute, and he is also the director's favorite student. It is a certainty to be evaluated as a researcher by the end of this year.

Qi Wenrui also regards himself as the successor of the director of the Institute of Physics in the future, but since the year before last, Academician Wen Xuanping, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, has come to the Institute of Physics many times, recommending Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, especially Qin Ke University. Adding praise, almost blowing it up to the sky, it is difficult to prevent Qi Wenrui from developing a sense of crisis and competition.

This time Academician Wen Xuanping personally led the team to listen to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's doctoral dissertation defense. He planned to hand over the letter of appointment to Qin Ke and Qin Ke after the defense, and invite them to the Institute of Physics as professors and master supervisors.

This made Qi Wenrui even more jealous!
He is only an associate researcher at the associate professor level now, let alone a master supervisor qualification!

How can Qin Ke get the qualifications of physics professor and master supervisor?Just because he won the Fields Medal in mathematics?That's a joke!This is the physics professor!Physics professor!Physics professor!
Based on the papers published in the top journal PRL?Qi Wenrui refused to accept it at all. He himself published two papers on APL, more than Qin Ke!
Based on the three papers previously published in Xia Guo's "Journal of Physics"?That's not a big deal, Qi Wenrui has also published more than ten papers on it!
As for the "extreme weather prediction event" that was widely circulated in the physics and meteorology circles last month, Qi Wenrui also sneered. It was because of the presence of the old academician Jiang Weixian. That's all.

Anyway, after comparison, Qi Wenrui found that his achievements and abilities in physics were completely superior to Qin Ke's!This further fueled his reluctance and jealousy, and he felt that Vice President Wen was partial!

And another reason for Qi Wenrui's vague hostility towards Qin Ke is that the most ideal type of girlfriend in his heart is a beautiful, pure and intelligent science girl like Ning Qingyun. Jun shoulder to shoulder.

Qin Ke can make everything go smoothly. It’s nothing more than being good at mathematics. It’s nothing more than academician Wen Xuanping’s attention in physics. Even the girlfriend he found is so good that people are jealous. How can this not make Qi Wenrui jealous from the bottom of his heart? ?
Qin Ke is so smart, he knew Qi Wenrui was hostile to him just by looking at Qi Wenrui's expression.

He can also understand that he is not a banknote, and it is impossible for everyone to like him. He really doesn't pay attention to such a small role as an associate researcher.However, it is not Qin Ke's style to swallow his anger. He saw that he had taken a step back in the face of Academician Wen, and now he is not polite, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will teach you a lot when I have time."

Qi Wenrui's complexion suddenly turned ugly. I didn't expect Qin Ke to be so arrogant and accept all his hypocritical polite words!
Wen Xuanping laughed and interrupted the somewhat awkward atmosphere: "Okay, Xiao Qi, don't bother Xiao Qin and Xiao Ning. They are going to defend their doctoral thesis soon, and you have academic questions to communicate with, please come back later." comminicate."

Academician Wen dragged Qin Ke into the lecture hall, and said in a low voice, "Qin Ke, the Institute of Physics sent you several invitation letters before, inviting you to visit and communicate with the Institute of Physics, Qingmu University will help you I declined, but the guys behind me didn’t say anything, and they still felt a little uncomfortable. Today they all came here with more or less critical eyes, you two have to work hard and try to convince them.”

There is one sentence he didn’t say, and that is—“When you work in the Institute of Physics in the future, you will be able to shock them.”

Academician Wen Xuanping knew very well that even if Qin and Ke didn't work full-time in the Institute of Physics, it would not be a problem to have a guest professor and carry out project cooperation. ——This is also the main reason why he led the team to listen to Qin Ke's doctoral defense.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun nodded, and then they were surprised to see Academician Wen Xuanping came up to shake hands with Jiang Weixian, and after a few words of pleasantries, they actually sat on the judging panel.

The vice president of the Xia Ke Academy came to be the defense judge, which is really high enough.

Qin Ke took another look at the badges in front of the judging panel. In addition to the academician Wen, there were seven industry leaders. Except for another academician Shi Botao from the Institute of Physics of the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences, the rest were from Qingmu University and Yanda University. , Xiaguo University of Science and Technology, Aurora University, Chenghai Jiaotong University, and Nantah University are all top-ranked universities in physics majors in China, and they are all academicians!
It is absolutely unprecedented for academicians from the Eighth University to serve as judges for the graduation defense of two doctoral students. Only the old academician Jiang Weixian has the face to invite so many big names in the same industry.

Of course, if the defending students were not Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, probably not so many academicians would spare time to fly to the capital to be the judges.

By 9:30, the entire lecture theater was full, and Qin Ke found that even Director Wei Yuanfu of the Department of Mathematics had come to join in the fun.

Well, this really became a grand event at Qingmu University.

Jiang Wei first asked Qin Ke: "Are you all ready? Who will come first?"

Qin Ke saw that Ning Qingyun was somewhat nervous, so he smiled and said, "I'll come first." He clapped hands with Ning Qingyun lightly, and stood on the podium.

A staff member had already projected the PPT prepared by Qin Ke. Qin Ke put on a special glove. It is said that he can directly control the playback of the PPT with gestures, and he can also write directly on the PPT.

Facing the dark crowd in the audience and the curious, critical, anticipating, or encouraging gazes, Qin Ke cleared his throat and began his last stage performance as a physics student.
