I really just want to be a scholar

Professor Witten’s connections and prestige in the international physics community are indeed deep enough, and CERN sent the experimental data on the third day.The amount of data is very large, but it is basically data after preliminary screening and sorting, so it is not particularly difficult to use.

With the help of Shiguang, Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, and Edward Witten spent about two weeks completing the analysis of the experimental data and the physical demonstration of the paper.

But even these three world's top mathematics masters and physics masters join forces and want to expand the paper titled "Theoretical Framework for Unifying the Strong Interaction Force and Electromagnetic Force with a New Quantum Gauge Field Theory" into a more complex one, including It also takes a lot of time to write the paper "String Theory Framework Unifying Strong Interaction Force, Weak Interaction Force and Electromagnetic Force with New Quantum Gauge Field Theory" which introduces new physical theory.

During the daytime working hours during this period, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun still performed their duties as technical general advisors of the "El Niño Disaster Prevention and Response Command Center", fully promoting the establishment of a complete climate disaster prevention and response system in Xia State. Reduce the losses caused by high temperature and drought disasters to the people and the economy as much as possible.

As the maximum temperature continues to rise, "hottest summer" has become a hot word on the Internet, and netizens are everywhere complaining:

[My dogs are so hot that they are called hot dogs for short! 】

[Now I rely on air conditioning to survive. 】

[No one can pull me out of the quilt in winter, and no one can push me out of the air-conditioned room now! 】

【It’s stuffy and hot, everything feels like an oven! 】

The frantically rotating outdoor air conditioner unit drives power consumption to new highs.In order to ensure residents' electricity use, some cities have to restrict industrial electricity use, and even directly suspend the use of some industrial power consumption that consumes large amounts of electricity.

With the sharp increase in energy demand, power plants are operating at full capacity, and the prices of raw materials, coal, natural gas and other resources used for power generation have also begun to rise globally.Although the power plants that previously strictly followed the requirements of the "El Niño Disaster Prevention and Response Command Center" and purchased a large amount of raw materials in advance are also facing pressure, they are generally comfortable, at least in terms of cost, they have a great advantage.

The real pain is for those power plants whose fuel stocks are insufficiently prepared. They have to beat their chests and regret while purchasing raw materials at high prices to solve their urgent needs...

This situation is so common in power companies that a new "famous aphorism" has appeared in the industry: "If you don't listen to Qin Keyian, you will suffer losses before your eyes."

The media also frequently wanted to interview Qin Ke and the two to obtain the latest "prophecy," but Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun still refused all interviews and concentrated on teaching and doing research in school.

For Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, what they need to say has been said publicly before, and there is no need to speak again to increase people's anxiety - they can't tell any lies about "it will be over soon, just endure it for a while". After all, there is still a long disaster period of two or three months - and what needs to be done is also implemented nationwide through the "El Niño Disaster Prevention and Response Command Center", so there is no need to brag.

During this period, something like this happened. Gu Bojun, the president of Qingmu University, called and asked for Qin Ke’s opinion:

"Qin Ke, weren't there dozens of people who spread rumors and caused trouble on the Internet in April and May, scolding you the most? All of these people have been 'arrested' recently. It's really accurate to check them all, either because of Those who were expelled from the professoriate for academic misconduct, and some who were expelled for committing fraud and not doing good research, are basically academic scum and scientific research scum. They vent their anger on the Internet because they are unwilling to suffer a plummeting status. This can be regarded as jealousy and jealousy of you. Now the superiors are asking our school how to deal with these people, and I also want to hear your opinion."

Qin Ke waved his hand proudly: "Uncle Gu can make the decision for me on these matters. I'm not that stingy. If the school feels it wants to hold them accountable for spreading rumors and causing trouble, it will hold them accountable. If it feels it's OK to let them go, then Let them go."

Gu Bojun couldn't help but feel happy: "You...you have let me 'make the decision', do I dare to let them go? OK, I will take responsibility for the evildoers. These people are indeed too arrogant. It is not enough to punish them severely without public disclosure." To scare Xiaoxiao!"

So a few days later, the news that "these people were all detained and severely punished" appeared in major newspapers and public accounts, arousing applause from netizens...

In addition to these "little things", there are the students' examinations and the advancement of various scientific research projects.

Ning Qingyun, who had finished her confinement period, stopped her vacation early and stood on the podium again. This was mainly because the students were about to take their final exams. Qin Ke alone could not take care of so many students and had a sense of responsibility. Xiao Baicai, who has always been very strong, naturally couldn't let go of the burden on his shoulders, so he simply interrupted his vacation temporarily and returned to the podium.

Thanks to the resumption of practicing Oriental Secrets in the past month, Ning Qingyun, who is wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a refreshing single ponytail, has a graceful figure. Her slender waist perfectly interprets what an A4 waist is. It was originally slightly rounded. Her pretty face has returned to the standard beauty melon-seed face, with a pair of beautiful red and phoenix eyes that are shining brightly, and her skin is as good as snow and can be broken by a blow. There is no trace of the fact that she is a mother of two children. She looks like an invincible, youthful woman. A pure and charming beautiful girl.

As soon as she returned to the classroom, she amazed countless students. Boys and girls focused their attention on Ning Qingyun far more than Qin Ke.

Qin Ke suddenly circled around Ning Qingyun.

The students were surprised: "Academician Qin, what are you doing?"

Qin Ke said with a smile: "You are all staring at my wife. I thought there was something wrong with her dress. But I looked left and right and observed carefully. She is indeed my wife. Even every hair is perfect." .”

Then he pretended to be angry and hugged his little cabbage's slender waist, and said to the students: "Since my wife is so perfect, you can just take a look at her. If you look at her again, you will be charged."

The students in the audience were immediately delighted and burst into laughter.Ning Qingyun had not been on the podium for a long time, and she felt a little unfamiliar and distant from the students, but she was immediately brought closer.

Ning Qingyun's face was slightly red, and she punched Qin Ke twice, then walked briskly onto the podium.

With Qin Ke here, I never have to worry about the atmosphere in the classroom being dull.

……

In addition to teaching and doing scientific research, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun devoted more energy to the topic every night. They repeatedly discussed and perfected "Unifying the Strong and Weak Interactions with a New Quantum Gauge Field Theory" with Professor Witten. A String Theory Framework for Forces and Electromagnetism.

During this period, Mr. Qiu and Professor Uhlenbeck often participated in the discussions. Although they were mainly mathematicians, they made considerable achievements in physics, such as string theory and Calabi-Qiu, the cornerstone of complex geometry. -Yau) manifold was proposed by Mr. Qiu and Professor Calabi.

When the calendar turned to July 7th amid the scorching summer and continuous drought, the paper was truly completed, and the length of the paper increased to nearly 15 pages, enough to publish a separate monograph.

In fact, such a theoretical paper about the nature of the world and destined to affect the entire physics world is not long at all.

In terms of paper signatures, Qin Ke, Edward Witten, and Ning Qingjun are naturally the co-first authors. Originally, Qin Ke also wanted to list Mr. Qiu and Professor Karen Uhlenbeck as co-authors. After all, these two big names They have made extremely important contributions to the "new quantum gauge field theory" and the subsequent connection between string theory and "unification of strong and weak electricity". Without their full participation in exchanges and discussions, the completion of this paper would have been delayed at least. More than three months.

However, Mr. Qiu and Professor Karen Uhlenbeck both firmly refused to sign, believing that their role was not enough to sign this great paper that is destined to be passed down through the ages. They participated in the discussion of this topic only out of interest. And academic exchanges.

Later, Qin Ke, Edward Witten, and Ning Qingyun had to argue, and they reluctantly agreed to be listed as the second work.

Mr. Qiu also shook his head and sighed: "You guys...if you really put me and Karen in the second game, it would probably give both IMU (International Mathematical Union) and IUPAP (International Union of Pure and Applied Physics) a headache. , it would be extremely difficult for them to find reviewers for this paper.”

Qin Ke and others couldn't help but smile.In fact, this is also the case. The five most famous and accomplished people in the field of gauge field theory in the international mathematics community are all listed as authors. Looking at the world, how many people dare to say that they are qualified to review this manuscript?
In the end, this manuscript was submitted to Nature Physics, and Qin Ke uploaded it to arXiv.

Not surprisingly, the entire international physics community was shocked!
This year is truly a disruptive year for the international physics community.

At the beginning of the year, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun's paper "Proof of the Mass Gap Problem of the Yang-Mills Equation and Mathematical Interpretation of the Standard Model of Particle Physics" was published, and the precise mass value of the W boson was calculated. When people thought this was impossible, CERN proved with experimental data that this precise value is correct.

In April, the problem of "Yang-Mills' existence and mass gap" had just been determined to be completely solved by IMU and the Clay Institute. The impact and aftershocks on the international physics community were still continuing. Qin Ke threw out "El Niño" again. "Prediction" and "High Temperature and Drought Disaster Prediction" caused great controversy because they were "self-contradictory" with past theories. However, it turned out that Qin Ke was right in the end. El Niño arrived as scheduled, and high temperature and drought disasters raged in the northern hemisphere. Countless people The meteorologist’s face was swollen.

Now, Qin Ke, who only published a paper on the prediction of the El Niño phenomenon in May, has published a new paper just two months later, and it is a paper that will bring particle physics into a new era. Great paper!

When this paper was posted on arXiv, the international physics community was almost shocked.

The grand unification problem of the strong interaction force, the weak interaction force, and the electromagnetic force!And the "string" problem, which still has no substantial evidence to prove its existence after decades of its existence, has been solved in this paper!

The discussion on the Internet suddenly exploded.

[Strong electricity is unified, weak electricity is unified, the existence of strings is proved! 】

[Fuck, the author of this paper blinded my titanium alloy eyes...]

【I’m a bastard!Academician Qin Ke, Academician Ning Qingjun, Professor Edward Witten, Mr. Qiu, Professor Karen Uhlenbeck!What a dream lineup this is! 】

[I counted, there are four Fields Medal winners, three Dirac Medal winners, three Einstein Medal winners, three Craford Medal winners, two Nobel Prize winners, and one in the author column. Abel Prize winner... so scary! 】

[Have you forgotten about the Wolf Prize upstairs? 】

[Academician Qin and Academician Ning did not win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics...but it was only a matter of time. 】

[This paper made me dizzy. As a Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT, I was very ashamed, but when I thought that it was co-authored by five great masters, I forgave myself. 】

[I am very curious about who is qualified to be a reviewer for a paper like this. 】

[Not mentioning that, let me first explain the content of this paper to a mathematician and physics expert. 】

[Simply put, this paper uses a new theoretical framework to unify the nature of the three forces with "strings" to explain them.I think this will be a great theory that stands at a higher level and more broadly summarizes the nature of the world than Einstein's mass-energy equation. It is a masterpiece that transcends the times, and it will become the key to the core origin of the world. 】

[The person upstairs is so awesome... Hey, it’s Professor Tao from the University of California!No wonder the reviews are so good! 】

……

Just when the physics community around the world was turned upside down by this paper, Professor Edward Witten was leaving.

Since completing this paper, Professor Witten felt that his energy was too much. In addition, Qingmu University was also on holiday, so he returned to the United States with his wife, intending to take a long vacation and return to Xia Country after he had recovered from his fatigue. Together with Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, he continued the project of improving string theory.

Professor Karen Uhlenbeck also felt deeply that Ning Qingjun's "growth" had exceeded her expectations. She was satisfied with the academic tour, which was far longer than originally planned, and planned to fly back to the United States with the Wittens. .

The separation time is scheduled for the second day after the completion of the paper.

Qin Ke hugged Professor Witten and said, "Edward, remember to come back."

"Don't worry, there is nothing more pleasant in the world than working with you." The old gentleman smiled.

Over there, Professor Uhlenbeck was also saying goodbye to Ning Qingyun.

The old lady never mentioned that Ning Qingyun should take over her "baton" from beginning to end and become a new generation advocate and leader for women to study mathematics in the international mathematics community. Only when they finally separated, the old lady said Sentence: "Ning, you are the best female scientist I have ever seen in mathematics and physics. I wish you continue to move forward on this path and create new brilliance."

Ning Qingyun is a typical person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. She seems cold and a bit withdrawn, but as long as others are kind to her from the bottom of their hearts, she will develop feelings for her.

In the past four or five months, Professor Uhlenbeck has treated her as both a teacher and a friend, selflessly sharing his lifelong learning and experience with her, which has benefited Ning Qingyun a lot and she has long regarded him as her teacher in her heart.

At this time, when he saw the old lady's gray face and white hair, her waist was already a little rickety. After saying goodbye today, she didn't know if there would be a chance to meet again in the future. Ning Qingyun's eye circles suddenly turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes. She couldn't say a word. Unable to speak.

Seeing Ning Qingyun's expression, Professor Uhlenbeck's originally stern face also changed. She stretched out her hand and shook Ning Qingyun's hand vigorously:

"I don't have any special hobbies in this life. What I like most is mathematics. I am always afraid that the elementary school knowledge and small experiences that I have figured out and am a little proud of will be buried with me. Mathematics... sometimes words and calculations are the only means of communication. No, especially the way of thinking. It is like the Higgs field. Only by causing spontaneous symmetry breaking can the mass be transferred to canonical propagators and fermions. The way of thinking can only be transmitted through heart-to-heart communication. Thank you You, Ning, I hope my mathematical way of thinking can bring you and all female scientists a little help. Goodbye, my dear friend, this trip to Xia Kingdom will be the best memory in my life."

The old lady finally opened her arms and hugged Ning Qingyun, then turned around and got into the car, leaving Qingmu University with Edward Witten and his wife.

Watching the three familiar elders go away, Ning Qingyun finally couldn't help it, and tears rolled down her face.

Qin Ke stretched out his hand, put his arm around Ning Qingyun's delicate shoulders, and said warmly: "What an amazing old lady."

Ning Qingyun had tears streaming down her face and nodded vigorously.

Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month!
