I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 975 God is really unfair sometimes

As soon as Qin Ke arrived at the "Chief Scientist Building", Tao Zhexuan, Thomson and Chen Licheng immediately greeted him.

Lao Tao originally had no plans to come to Xia Country. After all, he had only been away from his family for more than seven months not long ago. This family-oriented man still prefers to spend time with his family, so he had been following the team's work through remote meetings in the United States.

But Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun are going to attend the International Congress of Mathematicians, and the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team" must have an important person in charge - in this regard, whether it is Kelvin Thomson or Chen Licheng's qualifications and academic status were unable to overwhelm the best Mesozoic algebraic mathematicians gathered from all over the world.

Among the Mesozoic mathematicians, apart from Qin Kening Qingjun, among the most famous and academically authoritative Fields Medal winners, only Lao Tao has joined the "Global Extreme Climate Big Data Advanced Analysis Team", and the rest Lin Den Shiwu Laosi, Wu Baozhu, etc. did not join the team because they were not very good at data analysis.

Qin Ke really hoped that Lao Tao would come to Xia Kingdom to sit in and help him. After discussing with his family and the University of California, Tao Zhexuan decided to come to Xia Kingdom again.

While Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun flew to Miami, Lao Tao, on the other hand, flew to Xia's capital before the super cold wave of the "Little Ice Age" and is currently living in an apartment arranged by Qingmu University.

When Qin Ke and his wife were away, Lao Tao acted as the temporary leader of the team as deputy captain. With his reputation as a "genius among geniuses" and his aura as a Fields Medal winner, a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, and an academician from many countries, Tao Zhexuan is still able to hold his own.

With the assistance of Professor Thomson and Chen Licheng, he spent three weeks to get the entire team together and operating normally.

However, Lao Tao actually prefers to study mathematical theory and mathematical applications, and does not like management very much.

So when Qin Ke came to the office, Lao Tao was relieved. He first gave Qin Ke a hug and congratulated him on winning the Fields Medal for the second time, and then unceremoniously stuffed a thick stack of information into Qin Ke's hand. Li: "Qin Ke, this captain is really not something everyone can do. I feel like it's even more of a headache than when I was studying NS equations. Just come back and this burden will be returned to you. All the work reports for the past three days are here."

"Okay, thank you." Qin Ke took it with a smile, without deliberately saying any serious words of thanks. With his deep friendship with Tao Zhexuan, there was no need to do that.

He handed it over to Chen Ya, the work assistant who was following behind, and said to Old Tao: "Old Tao, I heard that you live in an apartment arranged by the school now? Why didn't you come to live at my house?"

"You're not here, should I go over and help you take care of the baby?" Lao Tao rubbed his forehead: "I've had enough trouble raising the two babies at home before, and I don't want to experience it again."

"Now that Qingyun and I are back, how about moving into my house today? At least we can eat at home instead of having to eat in the cafeteria every day."

"I'd better wait until you come back after receiving the Nobel Prize before moving here. You will have to leave for ten and a half days next month?"

"So I'll have to trouble you then, acting captain."

"I always think it's Shang Zuo's pirate ship..." Lao Tao said this in Cantonese, and Qin Ke also replied in less fluent Cantonese: "Want to leave? Chi Zuo."

The two looked at each other and laughed, high-fiving each other in unison.

Professor Thomson next to him looked a little emotional and a little envious. He could see that this was a friendship that could only come from having fought side by side for a long time and having similar interests.

I wonder if I will become such a true good friend with these two top mathematical geniuses in the future?

"It doesn't matter if you don't move to my house for the time being, but you are still tired and thin. Come to my house for soup in the evening. Otherwise, my sister-in-law will complain when she sees me that I have treated you badly." Qin Ke smiled and extended an invitation to Lao Tao. Then he turned to Thomson and Chen Licheng and said, "Kelvin, Senior Chen, come together tonight. The family has prepared a big dinner tonight. If you don't work overtime, just take the car back with me."

"Okay." Chen Licheng was a frequent visitor to Qin Ke's house, so he readily agreed.

Thomson was a little surprised, but also deeply honored. In Western countries, it is rare to invite friends to your home for a banquet. They usually hold parties outside. An invitation like Qin Ke's can be regarded as an invitation from a close friend. . Thomson and Qin Ke are "acquaintances", but they know that they have not yet reached the standard of such close friends.

However, Qin Ke's reputation was at its peak at this time, and Thomson was also happy to establish a good relationship with such a top mathematician, learn more creative thinking and data skills from him, and then break through his own mathematical bottleneck period, so he was still very serious He replied: "Okay, I will definitely keep the appointment."

Old Tao saw Thomson's unnaturalness, and immediately smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "There is no need to be too formal. The hall in Qin Ke's house is like the 'tea room' in Princeton. In the past, Edward, Faltings and others When I was there, we held tea parties there every night. You’ll get used to it the more you go there.”

Thomson is actually a rather arrogant person, but depending on who he is compared with, at least compared to Lao Tao, he has a big gap in mathematics and cannot be arrogant at all. Lao Tao also had a somewhat aloof character, and he had not shown any affection towards him in the past. This pat on the shoulder actually made Thomson feel somewhat honored.

Looking at Qin Ke's heart-warming smile, Thomson once again felt that even if he put aside those goals of pursuing his mathematical dream, it was a great thing to be able to come here and meet such a sincere partner...

After reminiscing about old times, everyone quickly got into work mode.

After reviewing all the reports from the past three days, Qin Ke summoned more than 180 people in the office building, as well as some remote members who were online, to hold a meeting.

Qin Ke's meeting style was very concise, with no clichés or nonsense. After a simple opening statement, he opened a dozen satellite images:

"This is a weather map sent by the meteorological centers of various countries. As you can see, the extreme climate disaster of the 'Little Ice Age' has occurred in the northern hemisphere this time. The situation is not optimistic. Most areas have signs of ice and snow coverage, especially in These super-strong cold air masses approaching the North Pole form a ring-like semi-condensed cyclone. This is an unprecedented phenomenon, which means that subsequent cold air will continue to flow south from the North Pole..."

"These are the distribution maps of tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and floods in the Southern Hemisphere. They were all taken by satellites of the Australian Meteorological Center and the New Zealand Meteorological Center. Have you noticed that these locations present a huge semi-arc? Yes, very Like our magnetic field map..."

"Let's look at the preliminary analysis of these magnetic field monitoring data. We can see that the magnetic field at the North and South Pole is now in chaos. It is obvious that the magnetic field is weaker in the south and stronger in the north. This is an extremely abnormal phenomenon..."

Qin Ke's speech was not fast and his voice was very calm, but everyone's palms were sweating as they listened. For the first time, they were deeply aware of what kind of changes had occurred on the planet they were on.

Qin Ke then shared with everyone the recent research results of several of his teams on extreme climate disasters and natural disasters, and then said:

"The impact of solar activity and the distance between the Earth and the Sun on this planet is actually relatively lacking at the theoretical level. Limited by monitoring capabilities, especially data analysis capabilities, many theories remain at 'guessing' without rigorous testing. Data analysis and mathematical derivation cannot be used as strong evidence." "Just as in the past half month, the scientific research teams of meteorological centers in many countries have achieved preliminary results, especially in the study of solar activity and geological conditions in the past two decades. The correspondence between daily distance and natural disasters, and the correspondence between planetary ecosystems, has indeed found certain corresponding laws, but it is also limited by data analysis capabilities. These laws have many self-contradictions and cannot be justified... …”

"This is exactly the limitation of climatologists and even ordinary physicists. But what they can't do, we mathematicians can do!"

"The establishment of our team is to bring together the world's top mathematical analysis experts to make up for the missing pieces of the puzzle, so that the theories of solar activity, changes in the distance between the earth and the sun, and changes in the ecological climate and environment of the planet can be transformed from 'guess and guess' Become a real 'theory'! Only in this way can we clear away the fog, find the root causes of extreme climate disasters on this planet, and solve them!"

"These are the focus of our next work!"

"But the formation of the theory cannot be achieved overnight. Our first step is to continuously refine and analyze the data collected by meteorological centers of various countries to find more powerful evidence and deduce more accurate correlations, thereby summarizing the activities of the sun, the activities of the earth and the sun. The most realistic relationship and preliminary theory of extreme climate disasters and natural disasters on our planet in the past twelve years and the corresponding preliminary theories, and finally mathematical modeling to analyze and deduce future trends..."

"This is a very large and arduous task. Even if the data we receive has been processed and screened many times, it is still calculated in petabytes. There is too much noise in it that still needs our judgment and analysis. There are too many Self-contradictory laws require us to falsify or confirm... But I believe that all of you here are the best mathematical analysis experts selected from the world. Even if you have no relevant knowledge of climatology, we use mathematics to The conclusions drawn can still be more accurate than those guessed by climatologists! We can even let them improve the theory based on our mathematical conclusions!

"This is mathematics, because data is language and mathematics is truth. As long as the language can be spoken from the truth, it must be correct!"

"We mathematicians hold the key to the door to the truth! To solve extreme climate disasters that may endanger the future of mankind, we must also rely on our mathematicians!"

Qin Ke's meeting only lasted for about forty minutes, and no one was distracted for even half a second during the whole process. The crisis Qin Ke showed and the mission they needed to shoulder made everyone feel a strong feeling in their hearts. A sense of responsibility and mission, and an indescribable passion!

As Academician Qin said at the end, apart from mathematicians like them, the world can no longer choose anyone to complete such a huge and arduous task that is related to the future survival of mankind.

So when Qin Ke finally looked around everyone with eyes like lightning, he asked loudly: "Will you lend your strength to me to complete this arduous and glorious task together, so that mathematicians can become the glory of mankind moving into the future?" pillar?"

“We are willing to——!” Mathematicians from all over the world shouted with high morale, and their cohesion instantly reached an unprecedented height.

Lao Tao looked at Qin Ke, who was freely inciting and gathering people's hearts on the stage, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, some people are born to be leaders. The most hateful thing is that this guy is not only handsome, but also The best and bravest charge... God is really unfair sometimes."

Tao Zhexuan, who had always been jealous of others and thought that God favored him too much, felt the same sigh as others for the first time.

……

After completing ideological mobilization and consensus building, Qin Ke began to share and explain top big data analysis techniques for one hour every day.

It's called experience sharing, but it's actually teaching. The name of experience sharing is just to make the outstanding mathematicians present feel better.

There are all very good mathematical analysis masters here, but no matter how good they are, they are still far away from the God of Mathematics. With Qin Ke’s current mathematical ability, knowledge and level of mathematics, he can still easily crush them. Of course, he can also guide them. them, pulling them forward.

Now Qin Ke's prestige among mathematicians is extremely high, far above that of Tao Zhexuan. This also allows the system's "thinking resonance" effect to be fully exerted. Qin Ke's teaching content is almost easily understood and understood by them. Digest and absorb it and integrate it into actual work ability.

Thomson understands this very well.

He was thinking and recording key points quickly throughout the whole process, and then he was surprised to find that his thinking was clearer than ever before. Every sentence spoken by Academician Qin Ke was obviously quite profound, but he could easily understand and digest it.

Not only him, but other mathematicians can also clearly feel that their horizons and ideas have broadened, and they listen more carefully. This sense of accomplishment and joy of feeling their own progress is exactly the spiritual enjoyment that a mathematician pursues. One, this makes them more motivated to work.

I believe that as time goes by, the overall level of this team will reach a new level, and the analysis and processing of big data will become more comfortable and more efficient.

……

In the next ten days, the extreme cold weather brought by the "Little Ice Age" did not improve. On the contrary, as predicted, it became more and more severe.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are still busy. It is not easy to command more than a dozen world-class outstanding scientific research teams to start research work at the same time. Thousands of tasks are coming, but Qin Ke is determined to move forward. He and Ning Qingyun were only responsible for reviewing the reports, checking and reviewing key links, and solving difficult problems. Guidance immediately reduced the workload.

On Saturday night in early December, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun went to visit Uncle Yang.

The three of them chatted in the study for a long time, and Ning Qingyun finally understood how much sweat and great contributions his parents had made for this country and the future of mankind.

After returning home, Ning Qingyun sat in front of the window of the master bedroom, looking at the white snow outside the window, and said nothing for a long time.

Suddenly she felt surrounded by a warm embrace, but it was Qin Ke who hugged her tenderly from behind.

"What are you thinking about, wife?"
