I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 885 Use mathematics to solve physics problems!

Just as Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were heading to the international airport in a car driven by Wei Feng, the topic of "the 'prophecy' of academician Qin Ke and his wife from Xia State has come true again" was rising domestically and internationally.

As Arctic glaciers and Siberian cold currents move southward, slowly covering most countries in the northern hemisphere, bringing with them cooling and heavy rainfall, the originally painful and painful high-temperature heat waves and drought disasters have finally been greatly alleviated. With the epidemic eased, people in the northern hemisphere have also ended a period of more than four months of suffering.

The entire evolution process of El Niño and high-temperature drought disasters is almost consistent with the "predictions" published by Qin Kening Qingjun in April and May and the deduction results in the paper. The end time of the disaster is even more consistent with the news they released in September. Perfect match!
And there is absolutely no "mysterious power" in this, it is all the result of data analysis and mathematical modeling!
This caused the paper titled "Changes in the Causes of the El Niño Phenomenon and Deduction of its Future Impact" published in the top journal "Nature" in July to receive great attention. I don't know how many people were working up all night to study this article. The paper also brought Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's international reputation in meteorology to a higher level.

Even the US Meteorological Center, which has always been proud, had to lower its head and issued a public apology letter, deeply introspecting for not paying attention to the early warning emails and public speculations of the two Xia scientists.

Amid such heated discussions, in the United States, Professor Tao Zhexuan of the University of California, Los Angeles, knocked on the office of Mr. Ramos Boggs Emerson, the dean of the Department of Mathematics, and submitted an application for suspension of classes.

As a chair professor and doctoral supervisor in his prime, Professor Tao naturally has teaching duties. If he wants to suspend teaching, just like a scientific researcher who wants to suspend participation in a scientific research project, he must go through the approval process.

Mr. Emerson is 65 years old this year. He has won more than a dozen international mathematics awards, including the Wolf Prize in Mathematics. He is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. He is also very caring for his children. He is highly respected in the mathematics department and is extremely popular. , so Professor Tao, who had always been arrogant, calmed down his temper in front of him and stood with his hands down.

Mr. Emerson put on his reading glasses, looked at Professor Tao's application form carefully, and asked unexpectedly: "Tao, are you planning to go to Xia Guo Qingmu University for an academic visit from the Christmas vacation this December? It still takes a long time. For half a year?”

Half a year is not a long academic visit. There are professors from the Department of Mathematics who went to Princeton University for a two-year exchange visit.

It's just that it's rare for Professor Tao, who is in the prime of his life, with his graduate students, family and children in the United States, to go to the distant Xia Guoyi for a half-year academic visit to a university that is not ranked among the best in the world.

Professor Tao nodded and said: "Yes, after the teaching tasks for this semester are completed, I will set off for Xia Kingdom. I have already communicated with my family. They support my decision and will visit me regularly in Xia Kingdom. As for what I brought with me I have three graduate students, and they are very happy to go with me to Xia Guoqingmu University for academic exchanges. Xia Guoqingmu University also expressed its welcome to my graduate students to be exchange students in their School of Mathematics for half a year.”

Mr. Emerson looked at the application form again. It did not specify the reason for his academic visit to Xia State. The application reason column only used a general sentence: "Go to Qingmu University in Xia State to conduct friendly academic exchanges and promote Improvement of Mathematics Level”.

He pondered: "The school is preparing to promote you to the position of deputy director of the Department of Mathematics. It is not a good choice to leave for half a year at this time. Tao, could you please tell me the specific reason for your academic visit to Xia Guo Qingmu University?"

Professor Tao is actually not keen on being promoted to an administrative position, but he cannot ignore Mr. Emerson's concern.He thought for a while and said:
"When I went to Xia State, it was mainly because my good friend Academician Qin Ke invited me to cooperate with him on a research project. You should have heard of this research project, which is to use string theory to control the random decay of radioactive elements. Incident'. In fact, it is not something that needs to be concealed, but if it is written in the application form, I will need to submit a report as the result of my visit. But even if this topic achieves results, it will be with Academician Qin Ke, Academician Ning Qingjun, I couldn’t submit a report on Professor Edward Witten’s joint achievements as personal achievements, so I simply didn’t include them.”

"Applying string theory to control the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements...isn't this a subject in the direction of physics?" Mr. Emerson looked at Professor Tao in surprise.

This topic was the focus of the entire international academic community at the end of August. Some well-known Japanese scholars with international responsibility have publicly expressed their willingness to join this research group and work together to solve the nuclear sewage problem. This matter was once unresolved. The news spread like wildfire, but these Japanese scholars were all declined.

The international academic community generally believes that it is because the level of these Japanese scholars cannot reach the level of Qin Ke, Ning Qingjun, and Edward Witten, and they are looked down upon.

Unexpectedly, Tao Zhexuan received the invitation.

“It is a physics topic, but Academician Qin Ke plans to convert the physical problem back into a mathematical problem, find a solution from mathematics, and then return to the experimental verification at the physical level. More than 8% of the problems in this topic need to be solved through mathematics. "

Professor Tao's words shocked Mr. Emerson.

Use math to solve physics problems!

Although everyone knows that mathematics is the basis of physics, and that all physical theories can be transformed back into mathematics, the language of the universe, and expressed through mathematical formulas, but how many people can actually do this?
Apart from anything else, how many physics masters are there who are also mathematics masters in the world?
Mr. Emerson asked: "There are only four of you in this research team?"

"Mr. Qiu from Xia State will serve as a foreign aid and participate in this research group in his free time, but he will not be listed as a formal member. There are only four of us as formal members of the research group. In fact, I have been participating in the research since last month. We usually communicate mainly through video, but because of the time difference, it is not as convenient as sitting together and writing and communicating.”

Hearing that Professor Tao from his school had been selected by Qin Ke from mathematicians all over the world to become one of the only four members of the research team, Mr. Emerson actually felt a sense of honor in his heart.

Even though he had never had a face-to-face conversation with Qin Ke, who was praised by Edward Witten as "the most genius mathematician of all time", he had carefully read Qin Ke's mathematics papers and watched Qin Ke's work at his brother Global review meeting on Debach's Hypothesis, Riemann Hypothesis, NS Equation, and Yang-Mills Equation.He felt that this young man was extremely talented and creative, and he had a heartfelt love for mathematics. He had recently successfully predicted global climate disasters through mathematical analysis and mathematical modeling.

This is a great scholar who is destined to shine brightly, surpass all mathematicians in history, and be listed as the "God of Mathematics"!
Even Tao Zhexuan, whom Mr. Emerson admired very much and was known as "the genius among mathematical geniuses", was eclipsed in front of such a mathematical god!
What's more, this team is solving the problem of radiation hazards of radioactive elements. Whoever blocks such research will be a sinner of mankind!
Thinking of this, Mr. Emerson picked up the pen without hesitation, signed his name on the approval form, and handed it back to Professor Tao:

"Tao, I respect and support your wishes. This is indeed a rare opportunity for cooperation. As for the deputy director, you don't have to worry. I will find a way to help you. You can go to Xia Country with peace of mind. If half a year is not enough, just contact me If I postpone it again, if there are any problems at the school, I will help you solve them."

Seeing the surprised look on Tao Zhexuan's face, Mr. Emerson said: "Tao, I know you are a rare genius in mathematics. There are not many mathematicians who can work side by side with you, but Academician Qin Ke and him His wife and Professor Witten must be among them. The study of radioactive elements is of great significance to mankind. Studying radioactive elements from a mathematical perspective will also have a profound impact on innovation in the mathematical world, and may lead to pioneering Create a new sub-discipline of mathematics. I wish you good luck and look forward to your results! If the four of you cannot solve this problem together, then it is probably not a problem that humans can solve."

Professor Tao was startled at first, but feeling the affirmation and sincerity in the old man's humorous words, he quickly reached out his hand and shook hands with the old man: "Thank you, Mr. Emerson, I will definitely do my best!"

After leaving Mr. Emerson's office, Professor Tao smiled at the student Wang Changai who was waiting outside the door: "The application has been approved. You can send an email to Qin Ke and say that at the end of December, we will meet the agreed deadline." , fly to Xia Kingdom to find him!"

"Yes!"

Wang Changai has been studying with Professor Tao in the United States for almost three years. During this period, he has only returned to the country once. He studied very hard and got his master's degree in only two years. He is now studying for a PhD with Professor Tao.He was very excited to have the opportunity to return to China as an exchange student this time, especially to meet his most respected idol and eldest brother, Brother Ke. He was even more excited.

His family background is not good, and all his tuition and living expenses over the years have been sponsored by Qin Ke, so that he can concentrate on his studies without any distractions.

Wang Changai looked up at the eastern sky in the distance, and then squeezed the thick book in his hand.

He has made up his mind to return to China after getting his PhD, follow Brother Ke, and work together for a better future for the mathematics community in Xia!
……

While Wang Changai was looking up at the eastern sky, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were not in Xia Kingdom. They were sitting on a special plane flying to Rome with their two babies and accompanying two-month-old sister-in-law. At this moment, below the plane was The boundless blue sea.

The special plane was very spacious, and the two babies were already asleep. The accompanying confinement sisters were not used to taking such long-distance flights, so they all went to rest. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun sat next to the two babies, taking care of them. With the two sleeping babies, Wei Feng and Wei Jing sat more than ten steps away as usual to avoid disturbing Qin Ke's time alone.

This is the couple's first trip abroad this year. It has been almost ten months since they went to Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Peace Prize at the end of last year.

During these ten months, Qin and Ke almost turned down invitations from famous universities and research institutions around the world.

On the one hand, it was because it was inconvenient for Ning Qingyun to travel when she was pregnant with the baby, and she had to take care of Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng after they were born.

On the other hand, now that they are traveling abroad, the resources used by the country to protect them are becoming more and more exaggerated, making both Qin Ke and Qin Ke reluctant to cause any more trouble to the country.

For example, when flying to Rome this time, special planes and special cars were the most basic safeguards. I heard that Wei Feng had made an extremely detailed security plan a month in advance, using more than 500 special service personnel, and that didn't even count. to increase the manpower on the security intelligence analysis front, otherwise the number would have to be doubled.

These manpower and material resources are all to protect the safety of his family.

Qin Ke caressed his child's little face and smiled at Ning Qingyun: "Fortunately, we didn't go abroad specifically to receive the Marcel Grossman Award. Otherwise, we would have suffered a big loss. After all, the prize money of this award is Only $10.”

Although Wei Feng and Qin Ke do not need to worry about the operational expenses, the country will take care of everything. Qin Ke does not know the specific expenses, but using such manpower and material resources, the expenses will definitely exceed the bonus amount.

However, considering the closer cooperation with the European Meteorological Center, the cost reduction of imported high-end meteorological monitoring instruments is far worth the cost. Overall, it is still worth it.

"Yeah..." Ning Qingyun rested her little face on Qin Ke's shoulder: "I can understand why my parents rarely come back from vacation."

She is a very smart girl, and she has been with Chen Ming, Chen Lan, Wei Feng and Wei Jing for a long time. She has already noticed that every time her parents come back, they are followed by a large number of security personnel. The level of security work seems to be higher than that of her and Qin Ke. Exaggerating, I guessed in my heart that her parents' research must be very, very important, and even related to the future of the country, so the country would attach so much importance to the protection of her parents.

Now that she and Qin Ke are enjoying the same treatment, she understands that her parents don't want to cause trouble to the country - of course, this shouldn't be the point. The point is that their parents' research work is too important and too busy.

Ning Qingyun now has a child. She no longer blames her parents, but has made a decision. She will not leave her child unless she has no other choice.

This time going abroad, even though she knew that bringing her children would bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble to the protection work of Wei Feng and others, Ning Qingyun still wanted to bring a smile and a clank.

Loving children is probably the nature of all parents, but some are hidden deeper and some are stimulated early. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are the latter, so Qin Ke also agrees with Ning Qingyun's decision. Wei Feng contacted the intelligence team for evaluation , thinking that the risks they encountered during this trip abroad were actually very small, so they agreed to take their two babies with them.

Now Qin Kening Qingjun is a top meteorologist recognized and paid attention to by people all over the world. Countless people are placing their hope on them to predict future meteorological disasters so as to respond in advance. Under such a situation, no country or organization can afford it. responsibility for harming them.

Wei Feng arranged the most stringent security measures just to ensure nothing went wrong.

Qin Ke relaxed his shoulders and made his wife's pillow more comfortable.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng also went abroad with us before, and even stood on the stage of the Nobel Prize together. This should be the most top-notch prenatal education." Qin Ke said with a smile: "But I hope this time Take the time to show them the scenery abroad, even though they don’t have much memory yet.”

Outside the window, traces of land can be seen.

Qin Ke said it lightly, but he knew that this trip was actually quite important. Only by convincing the European Meteorological Center to carry out all-round cooperation in dealing with abnormal climate disasters would it be more likely to find out the abnormal climate before the first sign appeared. Find the root cause of the change and fix it!

　According to the outline, this should be the most exciting volume.I hope to write the best plot I can imagine.

　　PS: Sorry, I was stuck on the road for more than ten hours when I returned from the National Day. I was so tired that I didn’t have time to update yesterday.I hope you can forgive me.
