Xu Jun's life

The Institute of Physics of R University is a sacred existence in the domestic physics circle. It is now the mainstay active in the academic world, and almost half of them have a relationship with the Institute of Physics of R University.

In the huge research institute, not only are there different schools of thought, but there are also distinct classes. Of course, there are also unavoidable conflicts among personnel.

From this, a kind of behavior with Chinese characteristics is also derived:

Discuss people's length behind their backs.

"Have you heard that the one who was airborne above was assigned to Group A yesterday." It was a man's voice, about 40 years old, and in the research institute, he was no longer considered young.

"Come on. Isn't there someone above? People who haven't graduated from college are also assigned to Group A? Really..." It was a younger man's voice, probably a high-achieving student who had just graduated, and the tone was very indignant.

"Who knows?" The middle-aged man smiled sarcastically: "You haven't heard, have you? Meng Su took him to visit Group B yesterday. He doesn't even know the tokamak device."

"Really? This is really..." The young voice was about to add something, probably seeing someone who shouldn't be seen, the voice stopped abruptly.

There were clear footsteps, walking slowly to the center of the bathroom, and then the faucet was turned on and the sound of water flowing.

"Next time, don't talk about our Group A members behind their backs." A clear but unusually young voice said slowly: "Being able to enter Group A has been selected through layers of selection. Don't say anything rude. These boring rumors , don’t pass it on anymore.”

There was no voice of argument.

The two left the bathroom obediently.

Not hearing more rumors, I sighed with some regret and walked out of the toilet cubicle.

A slender figure stood with his back to me, washing his hands. He was very young, probably only in his early twenties, but his resume must not be ignored.

I know who he is.

He is Qi Jing.

I have heard his name a long time ago. At that time, I was studying at R University, and he was in the junior class of Tsinghua University.

His grandfather was one of the returned overseas Chinese who came back from abroad in 49. He had great achievements in aerospace physics and said many famous quotes. When I was a child, there was Madame Curie on the left side of the classroom. , the one on the right is his grandfather.

He inherited his grandfather's talent, and entered the School of Physics of R University at the age of 15, breaking my record.

He seems to be around 20 years old this year. After graduation, he stayed in school and entered a research institute. Like Meng Su who introduced me to the environment yesterday, he both studied quantum mechanics.Different from that cold Meng Su, he is very good at interpersonal communication, has strong leadership ability, and speaks with weight.There are many people in the research institute who only follow his lead.Otherwise, those two people just now would not have been silent in front of him.

This is something that most people who study science cannot do.He seems to be born with the talent of being a leader and uniting others. Although he is young, his prestige in the research institute is only second to Wang Zhi, who is the leader of Group A.

Of course, he is also very good at buying people's hearts.

I believe that even if I didn't hear what he said just now, it will reach my ears through others afterwards.

However, since I heard it, I can't be indifferent.

Now that he has been bought, he must have the consciousness of being bought and remain indifferent. On the contrary, he will offend Qi Jing and make people bear grudges.

I walked over and stood next to him to wash my hands.

"Just now, thank you." I thanked you sincerely.

Qi Jing turned his head.He is very handsome, he is a beautiful young man, although he has been studying indoors all year round, his skin is not that unhealthy pale, but a beautiful wheat color.

"You're welcome, it's just my job." He winked at me: "It's the characteristic of the institute to exclude newcomers, isn't it?"

He made a joke, and I naturally wanted to laugh, so the two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the men's bathroom one after the other.

It has been three days since I entered the institute.

I'm not a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything. I'm 31 years old, but I don't even have a diploma from a physics college.

Ten years have passed, Xu Xu, who was fearless back then, is dead.

Following Meng Su to visit the institute, he walked past each department and met many people, all of whom were busy with their own affairs.

Most of them are young people in their 20s. They fall in love with the science of physics, and they want to explore the secrets of the universe, time and space, atoms, black holes...

How good.

I vaguely saw myself back then.Ignorant and fearless, he holds a chicken feather as an arrow, thinking that he can move the earth.

Ten years have passed.

The earth is still there, but I am no longer me.

Actually, those two people talking about me in the toilet were right.I was able to enter Group A, not even one percent of the reason was because of my strength, it was purely thanks to someone who forcibly inserted me into Group A.

Physics is not like other disciplines. Most people who study physics do it because of their personal hobbies, so geniuses are everywhere.

I've been a decade behind, and physics has changed so much in the intervening years that in some respects I'm not much different from a layman.

If the Institute had to choose, people like me, let alone Group A, might not be qualified to copy documents when they came in.

The reason why that person used tricks was to coerce the research institute to force me to be placed in Group A.In fact, it was probably because he knew that Group A was the most detached group in the institute.He's the kind of person who wants the best in everything.I once said that if there are two forked roads, one with No. 1 and the other with No. 2, he will take the No. 1 road even if he steps on a knife.

He must have chosen Group A because it was the best—in fact, I doubt he even meant what Group A meant. And a layman, there is not much difference.

The Institute of Physics of R University is an extremely large institution.Someone once joked and compared it to the government agencies of the Ming Dynasty. The researchers are bureaucrats at all levels, but above the bureaucrats is the A group called the "cabinet".

There are only five people in Group A. Except for the group leader Wang Zhi, the rest are all under 25 years old, and the youngest is not even 17 years old. Group A is different from other research groups. It does not accept the research topics assigned by the above, and it will never be named after the group leader. If the group members have a topic they are interested in, they can go out alone at any time and recruit a group in the institute. People, build your own research group.

In normal days, Group A gathers on the fifth floor of Block D of the Institute, where it is like a salon all the year round, with sofas and air conditioners, and a lot of weird books—I once found a book there.The team members usually gather there to exchange their ideas. In the words of the dean at that time, it was "the spark of thought collision".

The original intention of the establishment of Group A was to gather the most promising young people from R University, my mentor - who was later retired early.He once said that the future of R University's research institute lies in these young people.

One of the reasons why I didn't officially enter Group A was because I was underage.At that time, people in group A enjoyed absolute freedom in their work. The only thing was that their files and identities had to stay in the country. In other words, you had to be a legal citizen of the People’s Republic of China.

China's brain drain is very serious in the world.

In a great country, it took more than ten years to cultivate a talent. As long as he is sent abroad to study, there is a high probability that he will never come back.When I was studying at R University, two physics geniuses from the same school, Zheng Yuansen and Huang Xi, are now being poisoned by the "evil capitalist country" and studying science there.

This is all off topic.

Compared with University B, which specializes in literati, University R has never been a university with backbone. There is actually no difference between the students who enter University B and the students who enter University R. They are all students who passed the college entrance examination.However, among the people who came out of B University, some pointed out the current malpractices, and there were strong and unyielding scholars in their bones.However, there are only two kinds of people in R University: one is scientists who are hardworking, immersed in the academic world, and ignorant of world affairs.

The other is like the current leadership of R University and most of the students who come out of R University, who may have achieved good results in the professional field, but their character and integrity cannot be guaranteed.

Shen Wanyi said back then that people like Yu Zheng actually entered the wrong school.If he was a student of University B, he might still have a chance of surviving—after all, the courage of University B to set off the Great Leap Forward has never faded away.Those who are too greedy don't dare to offend people from Big B easily.

It's a pity that he was born in R University.

Went to Professor Hua's home in the morning.

Professor Hua is 65 years old this year. When I dropped out of school, there was a lot of trouble in the city. He was the first one to stand up and argue with the school.

At that time, I was still studying under him, and he asked me to talk, he said: "Xu Xu, you don't have to drop out of school, young people will make mistakes, we are not pedantic people, we will not confuse life matters with studies."

He said: "Since Cambridge can accommodate Newton, my R University can also accommodate you, Xu Xu."

But R University couldn't accommodate me.

Because the one who can't tolerate me is not R Da, but Li Zhurong.

And I'm not Newton.

I didn’t study physics anymore. I got a degree in modern law, went to the south, and taught at C University. Facts have proved that being smart is still useful. Associate Professor. At the age of 27, I became the director. The law school of University C is like a chicken rib, there is no competition, and the evaluation of professional titles is still very fast.

I have not touched physics for many years.

Professor Hua is old and not in good health.The teacher opened the door. She is very young, only in her early fifties. She doesn’t remember me anymore, but she heard that I am a student of Professor Hua, and she saw that I was carrying a gift. She didn’t look like a bad person. I went in.

The Professor Hua in my memory is an authentic northerner, tall and in his prime, with black hair all over his head, and his movements are always vigorous and vigorous. He is the wisest scholar in R University.

But now, what I saw was an elderly man in a wheelchair, wearing a thick padded coat and covered with a blanket, with gray hair and wrinkled face, dozing there.

To what extent can ten years change a person?

Ten years ago, I was an ignorant and fearless college student who was forced to leave R University like a lost dog.The person who drove me away was called Li Zhurong.

Ten years later, I was an outsider who was forcibly parachuted into the research institute because of "someone above". The person who parachuted me was also called Li Zhurong.
