Black Tech Scholar

"Professor Owen Dolly, this guy has made a breakthrough in quantum mechanics." Professor Ted said, pursing his lips. "He is a good friend of mine. He is very interested in your earthquake-resistant building materials. He has done several repetitions. Experiment and find that your earthquake-resistant building materials can not only resist a magnitude [-] earthquake, but even a magnitude [-] earthquake will only cause a little damage.”

Professor Ted looked at Liao Yuanbai, and the corner of his mouth slightly turned away, "So he wants to nominate this earthquake-resistant building material for the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"I see." Liao Yuanbai showed a smile, although he didn't think he could be selected for this election.What's more, it is almost impossible to give him such a fledgling person on the Nobel Prize for fighting gods.It's just that being able to participate in the election for the Nobel Prize is a kind of affirmation and academic capital for him.To put it bluntly, if he was indeed nominated for the Nobel Prize, then he would have a place even at Mills University.That is to say, if he will stay as a professor at Mills University, there will definitely be many students who will choose him as their doctoral supervisor.

You must know that the condition of being a disciple of Professor Ted is already very attractive, let alone a scholar at the quasi-Nobel level.

Professor Ted saw that Liao Yuanbai seemed to be in a trance, he smiled slightly, patted Liao Yuanbai on the shoulder and said, "Liao, don't be too nervous, you know that there are many Nobel Prize winners now. Everyone can nominate, and Professor Owen is a physicist. As a recipient of the Science Award, you can only be nominated for the Physics Award.”

When he said this, Professor Ted's face became serious, "You know, your compound material is actually more inclined to chemistry. If it is nominated for chemistry, I think there is a 50.00% chance of winning the nomination." Bell Prize in Chemistry, but the problem is that although your composite material has something to do with physics, it is not as much related to chemistry. And, in the final analysis, this is a problem of materials science. What's more, the proportion of chemical components It's too big, it's just a nomination, and I hope you don't get your hopes up too much."

Professor Ted wants to persuade Liao Yuanbai that the Nobel Prize is a huge temptation for any scholar.It represents academic capital that can be honored for life, as well as academic authority.

"I understand." Liao Yuanbai knew when he heard the physics award that the probability of this earthquake-resistant building material winning the award was not high.What's more, Professor Owen just told Professor Ted that Liao Yuanbai might be nominated.Obviously, Professor Owen has other people who can be nominated.

In other words, Professor Owen may not necessarily nominate Liao Yuanbai.So Liao Yuanbai was only shocked for a moment, and then calmed down.To be honest, everyone wants a Nobel Prize.The problem is, he still can't get this thing.He is only a 17-year-old boy, and there is still a long time to go.

He believes that one day he will become a Nobel laureate.

"Liao, I'm relieved to see that you're fine." Professor Ted breathed a sigh of relief. Before he told Liao Yuanbai the news, he struggled for a long time.He kept thinking whether he should tell Liao Yuanbai the news.If you tell him, Liao Yuanbai feels that he will win the Nobel Prize, but the problem is that he has no possibility of winning the Nobel Prize at all.

He felt that if Liao Yuanbai would be hit from now on, the road to scientific research would become much more difficult.Judging from Liao Yuanbai's expression now, it seems that he is thinking too much.

Liao Yuanbai is very smart, he thought of this after the initial shock.Therefore, when he calmed down, Professor Ted knew that Liao Yuanbai had figured out the joints.He patted Liao Yuanbai's shoulder, as if silently cheering Liao Yuanbai up, "By the way, that old guy Owen wants to meet you."

"En." Liao Yuanbai nodded, since he has decided to nominate him for the Nobel Prize.It doesn't matter whether he can get the award or not, or in other words, he is just a cannon fodder to accompany him.In short, if people can nominate him for the Nobel Prize, it is not too much to ask to meet him.

Professor Ted smiled and said, "He wants to talk to you about earthquake-resistant building materials, and he is also very interested in materials science. This guy is very interested in everything, but unfortunately he is not good at learning, only quantum mechanics is excellent Some."

Liao Yuanbai gave a wry smile when he heard this, isn't it just outstanding?This guy is a Nobel laureate.Just think about how terrifying he is in terms of quantum mechanics. "Find a time. He has some free time recently, but I don't know if you have any time." Professor Ted said, looking at Liao Yuanbai.

Putting down what he was doing, Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and said, "Professor, I have some free time recently, because I haven't started a new project yet, so the time seems to be sufficient."

"Tomorrow, when you come to my house tomorrow, I will let you see that old guy Owen." Professor Ted thought for a while, and then continued, "Liao, I hope you will behave more naturally tomorrow. That old guy Owen His personality is very weird...Of course, he still appreciates talents."

Liao Yuanbai nodded. To be honest, everyone said that Professor Ted had a weird personality.But Liao Yuanbai never felt that there was anything weird about his character.

As for Professor Owen, in fact, Liao Yuanbai had no contact with him at all.Of course, I have heard some legends, but it's okay for Liao Yuanbai to listen to these legends.I didn't expect to see the famous Professor Owen tomorrow. Thinking about it, Liao Yuanbai really didn't know what to do.

The next day, Liao Yuanbai came to Professor Ted's home as scheduled.The madam had served tea, and when Liao Yuanbai walked into the living room, he found that Professor Ted was talking about something with an old man.The old man looked very ordinary, and he was almost impossible to find among the crowd.His face was also extremely calm, and he had a pleasant conversation with Professor Ted.Professor Ted raised his head and saw Liao Yuanbai, smiled lightly at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Liao, you are here."

As he spoke, he waved at Liao Yuanbai.

Liao Yuanbai walked to Professor Ted and sat down.Professor Ted then introduced, "Owen, this is my disciple Liao. I believe you know something about him."

"That's right." Professor Owen nodded, "This guy actually has a lot of academics that can be nominated for the Nobel Prize."

"..." Liao Yuanbai sat aside and didn't speak. It's better for him, a mortal, not to talk about the conversations between the bosses.In order not to say something wrong, it will only increase the laughing stock.

"Whether it's from medicine or chemistry." Professor Owen glanced at Liao Yuanbai, "You are all qualified to win the Nobel Prize, but the problem is, I didn't figure it out. With a good performance, why do you want to do physics research?"

Professor Owen looked at Liao Yuanbai with a tone full of doubts and doubts, and asked, "I find that your physical talent is not as strong as that of biology or chemistry. I want to know why you chose physics. What about those two subjects?" Indeed, just judging from Liao Yuanbai's academic papers, whether it is mathematics or chemistry and biology, it seems that there are advantages.

There is only physics, which almost seems to have no bright spots.It's just a routine research, maybe this kind of academics still has a place in China, but the problem is that the place where he is now is one of the most powerful places in physics in the world.This academic research is obviously not enough.

That's why Professor Owen asked Liao Yuanbai in this way.

Of course, Professor Owen did not know that Liao Yuanbai had already developed quantum communication technology.Because this is a confidential project, if the technology is published.This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is probably none other than Liao Yuanbai.

Pursing his lips, Liao Yuanbai thought for a while before saying, "If I have to say it, I think it's probably because I have the strongest interest in physics." Speaking of this, Liao Yuanbai raised his head to look at Professor Owen, he found that The old man also seemed to be eyeing him with interest.After a while, Professor Owen said with a smile, "I see."

"Owen!" Professor Ted's voice seemed a little displeased. He looked at Professor Owen and frowned and said, "Are you coming to my house just to educate my disciples?"

"..." Professor Owen didn't speak. He looked at Professor Ted and didn't know what to say for a while.Indeed, Liao Yuanbai was a disciple of Professor Tide, and for a moment, he thought that Liao Yuanbai was his disciple.So the reason why he said that just now was completely misunderstood and thought that Liao Yuanbai was already his disciple.

Professor Owen, who came back to his senses, was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he and Professor Ted have been friends for many years.He glanced at Professor Ted, "I think, if possible, it would be more likely to apply for the chemistry award."

I don't know whether to say this sentence to Liao Yuanbai or Professor Ted. "Because this building material mainly uses chemical means, even if it has something in common with solid-state physics, I think the judges will most likely let Liao run as an escort."

"In other words, Liao may be able to enter the final stage of selection?" Professor Ted immediately grasped the point of Professor Owen's speech, and he looked at Professor Owen in disbelief.Speaking of it, he never thought that his disciple could become a quasi-Nobel scholar now.If he can enter the final selection, then his disciple is indeed a quasi-Nobel Prize scholar.

After all, there are many nominations, but only five people can really become candidates.

Professor Owen also seemed to realize that something was wrong with what he said. He shook his head, "I can't guess the level of the judges' choice, but it's obvious. The judges' choice must be beyond doubt. Maybe there will be leftover pearls, but—you You must know that the eyes of the previous judges are unpredictable." When he said this, Professor Owen looked at Professor Ted, took a breath and said, "Ted, if you want Liao to have a better chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I think we should work hard in the direction of chemistry."

"No, even if it's chemistry, I don't think it's too likely to be awarded this year." Professor Ted thought for a while, "You also know who will participate in the Nobel Prize this year, and that guy has been running with him for a long time. It's been four times. It's about the same as me. If he doesn't win this year...I'm afraid, all the scientists in the chemical industry will have to withdraw from the Nobel Prize. In this way, the status of the Nobel Prize will be reduced a lot. Besides, what he developed this year Stuff does have the qualifications to win the Nobel Prize."

"I understand." Professor Owen nodded, and Liao Yuanbai knew it when he heard the two professors chatting.I'm afraid this year's Nobel Prize is a fight between gods, and he is one of them.

But it doesn't matter, even if he is cannon fodder, he will not be the worst one.After thinking about it, no matter which Nobel Prize it is, it seems to be the scene of a fight between gods and gods.Either he will become a god, or he can only look up to these big shots.Liao Yuanbai naturally chose the former and became a god.

After talking for a while, Professor Owen got up and said goodbye.Professor Ted sent Professor Owen away, turned his head and said to Liao Yuanbai, "Liao, Owen will definitely nominate you for the Nobel Prize this time, but the problem is..." When he said this, Professor Ted's expression was not the same. Not very good-looking, "You are also very clear about the current situation, and your chances of winning the prize are not high."

"I know the professor." Liao Yuanbai thought for a while, and then continued, "There is still a long time before the Nobel Prize, I think even if I don't win the prize this time, maybe next time, next time I will be able to win the prize What?" Liao Yuanbai pursed his lips and said seriously.Professor Ted looked at his disciple and seemed very relieved.

When I returned to the dormitory from Professor Ted's house, it was already dark.Although Professor Ted's wife asked Liao Yuanbai to stay for dinner, she was still rejected by Liao Yuanbai.

I heard that the grand niece of Professor Ted's wife has arrived at Professor Ted's house, and she seems to be about the same age as him.Liao Yuanbai always felt that something bad happened, so he declined Mrs. Ted's invitation and returned to school.Thinking about it, it's really scary. Could it be that the aunts in the Lighthouse Country also like to force marriages? !

Liao Yuanbai shook his head and decided to go to the laboratory to take a look.It just so happened that he had some new ideas. Regarding quantum field theory and magnetic field effects, this topic is actually a big one.If it can be done well, many cutting-edge technologies will be derived.Even being able to win the Nobel Prize in Physics is not uncommon, but the problem is that Liao Yuanbai needs to have deep enough research in this area.

When he came to the laboratory, Liao Yuanbai put his key in his pocket and started a new round of research.Perhaps it is because this topic is originally a big topic.Liao Yuanbai returned to the dormitory almost every night, and even had little time to teach students.

Fortunately, there were not many courses taught by Ted.Otherwise, Liao Yuanbai would go crazy. After all, it seems that he has not enough time to commute between the laboratory and the dormitory every day.If you are teaching the students, I am afraid that the time will be even tighter.

Until June, Liao Yuanbai's subject didn't seem to have any new progress.When he met Professor Sisi, Liao Yuanbai heard that the progress of Professor Sisi's project was not very smooth.

After all, it is to develop quantum communication technology, so this thing is simply an impossible task.At least for now, Professor Sethi has not found out how to enable quantum communication technology to be transmitted to the ground through the quantum entanglement effect after it enters space.This is a problem that stumps everyone. When Professor Ceci met Liao Yuanbai, he even discussed it with Liao Yuanbai.

Liao Yuanbai listened to Professor Ceci's complaints with pursed lips and a smile, as if his team had done little research in this area.So far there has been almost no progress, and it took a while for Professor Sethi to leave the School of Physics.

Coming to the professor, this is Liao Yuanbai's last class this semester.He asked Professor Ted for leave, and planned to return to China in a few days.After all, he hasn't been home for almost a year, and although he occasionally calls his present, the problem is that the distance is too far away.And he was so busy with work that he almost forgot to call his mother.

Sitting in the classroom, Liao Yuanbai quietly waited for the arrival of the students.After a while, the students rushed to the classroom one after another.Because Liao Yuanbai came earlier than the students for the first time this time, the students looked at Liao Yuanbai in surprise and asked, "Liao, why did you come so early today?"

Liao Yuanbai said with a smile, "This is my last class this semester. You seem to have a few more classes left, but Professor Ted will teach you in the future." When he said this, the students sighed filled the entire classroom.

This seems to be the case in any country. A student complained, "Liao, why don't you come to teach us? I heard that Professor Ted is very strict. Does it mean that I can't pass this course?" Speaking of this, he looked at Liao Yuanbai with hope in his eyes, "Liao, I know you are joking with us, right?"

"Unfortunately, I took a leave of absence for Professor Ted, and I will return to China soon... So, I have to leave it to Professor Ted to teach you after high-energy physics." Liao Yuanbai shook his head, "Don't worry, Ted Professor De is a very talkative person. At least in my opinion, he is quite easy to talk to. He is a kind and lovely old man, I hope everyone will not have any prejudice against Professor Ted."

"No, Liao." The students shook their heads and said, "You are Professor Ted's proud student, so naturally you won't feel how weird Professor Ted's temper is. I heard from the seniors that Professor Ted's request is Very strict."

"Okay, let's turn to page 97 of the book. The particles we talked about last time are..." Liao Yuanbai didn't want to talk about this kind of meaningless dialogue, so he opened the book and began to explain.The students are now able to keep up with Liao Yuanbai's rhythm. It's not that the students understand high-energy physics, but that Liao Yuanbai's explanation is very shallow.This made the students barely keep up. When Professor Ted came to class, he found that this group of students almost didn't know what high-energy physics was researching.

It's hard to imagine that Professor Ted wouldn't lose his temper.Fortunately, he has already returned to China, so Professor Ted can't call to reprimand him.

After returning to the Lighthouse Country from Hua Country, probably... Forget it, I can't think about such long-term things now.After the lecture, Liao Yuanbai returned to his dormitory with the teaching book.At this time, the phone in the dormitory just rang, picked up the phone, and Liao Yuanbai heard his mother's voice, "Xiaobai, did you tell me last night that you are going home today?"

Mother's voice was still so gentle.Liao Yuanbai gave a soft compliment, "Yes, Mom, I asked the professor for leave and I am going to take the flight back tonight. But it may be a few days late when I get home. Don't worry, I will definitely get home safely."

"I heard that the school is not on holiday yet. Is it too embarrassing for the professor? If it's too embarrassing, it's okay to go home after a while." The mother didn't seem to want to annoy Liao Yuanbai because of the problem of going home. Professor. "It's okay, the professor has agreed, don't worry, the professor won't say anything about me."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

After hanging up the phone, Liao Yuanbai dragged his suitcase out.Then, put the clothes in the suitcase.When he was dragging his suitcase out of the dormitory, the person from the dormitory next door just came back, and he greeted Liao Yuanbai, "Hi, Liao, are you going on a trip?"

"No, I'll go home and have a look." Liao Yuanbai nodded to the students next door, and walked to the elevator.

Walking out of the dormitory building, Liao Yuanbai saw Professor Ted waiting for him.

Dazed for a moment, Liao Yuanbai thought that Professor Ted was in a hurry, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Professor, is there anything urgent for you?"

"No." Professor Ted shook his head, "Didn't you say that you are going home? I found a driver for you, who can take you to the airport." Following his gaze, he appeared from behind Professor Ted I met a young man, and the young man smiled at Liao Yuanbai, "Hello, Liao."

"Hello." The strange young man didn't look very old, "My name is Willie." He introduced himself first, "I am a graduate student of Professor Owen, and I often hear Professor Owen mentioning you."

After the two got into the car, Professor Ted gave instructions for a while before walking to the laboratory.

Liao Yuanbai looked at Willie with a strange expression, "Why were you called to see me off?" Liao Yuanbai couldn't figure out why Willie was called to see him off by Professor Ted as he was a graduate student of Professor Owen. him.Originally, Liao Yuanbai wanted to take the bus to the airport.

Unexpectedly, Professor Ted even called a driver for him. Willy smiled bitterly and said, "Because of the problem of quantum field theory, I originally wanted to ask Professor Ted. You know, Liao. Professor Ted and Owen The professor is a good friend, and I often meet Professor Ted, so when I was about to ask some questions, I was called to be your driver."

Liao Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, "But I don't seem to have met Professor Owen very much." Both of them are masters. It is impossible that Willie often meets Professor Ted, but he often does not meet Professor Owen.

"That's because you never come out in the laboratory." Willy rubbed his hair, looking a little messy, "You know, our entire scientific research team is rumored that you are a scientific research lunatic. Almost everyone except Laboratory and dormitory, I have never seen you go to other places. It doesn't look like a young man at all, but looks like an old antique!"

"Really?" Liao Yuanbai smiled, "Maybe this is the charm of scientific research."

After starting the car, Willie muttered, "What is the charm, such a boring thing, I don't know how you persist."

Liao Yuanbai smiled when he heard Willie's words, but did not answer.

When he arrived at the airport, Willie lifted Liao Yuanbai's salute, looked at Liao Yuanbai and said, "Liao, I wish you a pleasant journey.

"

Liao Yuanbai nodded, and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you Willie, there is still a little time before the flight time, how about I treat you to something to eat?" Liao Yuanbai tilted his head to look at Willie, and Willie shook his head He shook his head and said, "No need, Liao, by the way, I want to ask you, do you have feelings for girls?"

Why did you ask such a question all of a sudden?Liao Yuanbai looked at Willie inexplicably, and Willie scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "That's right, I bet them that you are not interested in girls. Because you have been in school for a year, almost You have never been in contact with girls... I think you should be interested in boys. No, you don't seem to have contact with any boys." Speaking of this, Willie looked at Liao Yuanbai in confusion.

"If I have to say, maybe I'm only interested in scientific research." Liao Yuanbai touched his chin, pursed his lips and pretended to be in thought.

After a while, Willie smiled awkwardly and walked away as if flying away.Ma Ma, come and see, here is a lunatic who is only interested in scientific research, it is simply scary!Seeing Willy walking away, Liao Yuanbai shook his head, not knowing what to say.

After resting at the airport for a while, Liao Yuanbai boarded the flight.

When I returned to Huaguo, it was already the afternoon of the second day.Because Liao Yuanbai's plane was staying in the capital, Liao Yuanbai still needed to make a transfer. Taking advantage of the time before booking a ticket, Liao Yuanbai was going to Jinghua University to take a look.No, I met Professor Liang at the airport.

Professor Liang's footsteps seemed to be in a hurry, Liao Yuanbai chased after him, and saw that there seemed to be several people following him beside Professor Liang.Don't think about it, it must be the security guards protecting Professor Liang.After all, at the level of Professor Liang, someone must protect him 24 hours a day, otherwise if the secrets are leaked or something happens to Professor Liang, the country will suffer a lot.

Liao Yuanbai stood beside Professor Liang, looked at Professor Liang, opened his mouth and called, "Professor Liang." Liao Yuanbai spoke very softly, but he was still very measured, after all, he was at the airport, where there was a lot of traffic.

He didn't want to cause any accidents.

Professor Liang turned his head and glanced at Liao Yuanbai.Dazed for a moment, he blinked and said, "Liao Yuanbai, have you returned to China?" Professor Liang's tone seemed to be full of disbelief.
