The road to becoming a god of Chinese scholars

"The Calligraphy Exchange Meeting between the Cherry Blossom Country and the Hua Country was held on the 22nd of this month, have you not forgotten it?" Lin Yuansen knew that Yu Juexiu had plunged into the experiment since he came back from Germany, and kept his ears to the outside world. Worried that Yu Juexiu might have forgotten the calligraphy exchange meeting.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yu Juexiu really forgot about it.Hearing what he said, Yu Juexiu raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Sorry, I really forgot about this."

Lin Yuansen: "..."

Seeing Lin Yuansen looking at him with complicated eyes, Yu Juexiu smiled embarrassingly.

Lin Yuansen sighed softly: "It's only a few days before the calligraphy exchange meeting, you have to hurry up and write the calligraphy works for the exchange meeting."

Yu Juexiu nodded slightly: "I'll write it in the past two days."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. This year's Abel Prize will be held in December, and the shortlist for the award should be announced during this time."

When Yu Juexiu heard about the Abel Prize, his eyes instantly sparkled, "A prize of 80 US dollars..." It is also the highest level award in mathematics. Compared with the prize money of the Abel Prize, the Fields Medal It's so shabby.

Lin Yuansen was amused by Yu Juexiu's appearance of being a money fan: "No accident, this time you can get a bonus of 80 US dollars."

Yu Juexiu clenched his right hand into a fist and made a "yes" gesture, "Why don't the Fields Medal be more generous like the Abel Prize?" The difference is dozens of times.

Lin Yuansen joked seriously: "The next time you win the Fields Medal, you can make this suggestion to the Fields Medal and ask them to add some bonuses to the Fields Medal."

"Wait until the next time I win an award."

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yuansen stopped joking with Yu Juexiu.

"I have received many invitations from foreign universities for you, but I know that you will not agree, so I directly refused for you."

"Well, I refuse them all." When Yu Juexiu was in Germany before, he repeated repeatedly that he would not teach in foreign schools, let alone study abroad.

"It's getting late, I'm leaving first, and I'll come to you again if I need something."

"Brother Sen, go slowly."

After sending Lin Yuansen away, Yu Juexiu rode his bicycle to Qingda University.

In fact, there are two cars in the parking garage of his apartment, but Yu Juexiu thinks it's too ostentatious, because they are luxury cars worth several million.If he drove to Qing University, he would definitely attract crowds.Besides, he prefers to ride his bike to school rather than drive.

Yu Juexiu rode his bicycle through the campus of Qingda University like a gust of wind. The students walking on the campus saw him and were just about to call him when he disappeared in front of them.

Some students took a picture of him, only vaguely able to see his outline, and posted it on the forum.

[I finally saw Yuda, but Yuda floated past my eyes like a gust of wind.Yuda, why are you in such a hurry, let us take a good look at you. 】

With this post, many people replied in an instant.

【Has Yuda become a windy man now? 】

[We are both in Qingda University, why do I feel that Yuda and I are in two worlds? 】

[If I hadn't seen this photo today, I would have wondered if Yuda is not in Qingda anymore? 】

【Sigh, it's really hard to see Yuda. 】

[Speaking of which, does Yuda need an assistant? I can work part-time for free, or serve tea and water. 】

[Upstairs, don't dream, Yuda's assistant is Dean Luo, do you think you can compare to Dean Luo? 】

【…】

[So, Dean Luo monopolizes Yuda! 】

[Dean Luo with ulterior motives! 】

【Dean Luo is so bad that he even hid the fish. 】

The post unknowingly digressed, and the students were all condemning Dean Luo.

After Yu Juexiu came to the laboratory, he changed into a big white coat and began to record data while doing experiments.

He didn't stop until noon, when Luo Xiuming came to ask him to eat.

If Luo Xiuming didn't come to ask Yu Juexiu to eat at noon every day, he would definitely forget to eat lunch.Luo Xiuming also knew this, so he would come over at noon and ask him to have dinner with him.

When the master and apprentice were having lunch, they kept chatting about the experiment.

At this moment, Yu Wenbai hurried over.

"Old Yu, are you here to eat?" Luo Xiuming joked.

Yu Juexiu stood up and greeted Yu Wenbai: "Teacher Yu."

Yu Wenbai glared at Luo Xiuming, and said with a look of disgust, "Who cares about taking money from you?"

"Then why are you here?" Of course Luo Xiuming knew that Yu Wenbai would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he came to his office because he must have something to look for Yu Juexiu.

"I'm looking for Xiaoyu." Yu Wenbai looked at Yu Juexiu, "Xiaoyu, I have something to look for you."

Yu Juexiu said respectfully, "Say it."

"Actually, the space agency has something to do with you."

Yu Juexiu was taken aback by what he said, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face: "Is the space agency looking for me?" Was it the space agency he was thinking of?

Yu Wenbai nodded: "Yes, there is a calculation stuck on their side, and many mathematicians were asked to calculate it without success." He sighed heavily, "Oh, even I haven't cracked it, So they want you to come and see."

After Yu Juexiu heard this, he was very shocked in his heart, and the expression on his face remained astonished: "Ask me to calculate it? You can't solve it, can I calculate it?" Although he cracked Goethe's Bach's conjecture and Riemann's hypothesis, but it does not mean that he can solve any problems.

Yu Wenbai said with a smile: "Your mind is fast, maybe you can solve it." After finishing speaking, he added, "The space agency is almost worried to death because of this matter. If you don't calculate it, This rocket cannot be launched."

When Luo Xiuming heard what Yu Wenbo said, he knew what he was talking about.He was invited to go there before, but it didn't help.

"Little fish, go and try it, maybe you can crack it."

Hearing what the two teachers said, Yu Juexiu nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll try it."

"Xiaoyu, you eat first, and I will take you there later."

"it is good."

After Yu Juexiu finished his lunch, he followed Yu Wenbai to the space agency.

The location of the space agency was relatively remote, and Yu Juexiu and the others arrived after more than an hour.

Before entering, Yu Juexiu and the others had to conduct various inspections, and they entered the space agency after making sure that they had no problems.

It was not the first time for Yu Wenbai to come to the space agency, and he took Yu Juexiu to meet the chief engineer of the space agency, Gu Xuezhen.

Gu Xuezhen is 56 years old, his hair is already half white, but his spirit is very good.As soon as he saw Yu Juexiu, he had a friendly smile on his face, and warmly held Yu Juexiu's hand. First, he congratulated Yu Juexiu for winning the Fields Medal, and then went straight to the point.

After listening to Gu Xuezhen's introduction, Yu Juexiu had an idea in his mind, and he expressed his willingness to give it a try.

Next, Gu Xuezhen took Yu Juexiu to another office.On the desk, the materials Yu Juexiu needed and the problems he wanted to solve had already been laid out.

Yu Juexiu carefully looked at the problem that he needed to solve, and found that it was really difficult, because it involved both physics and mathematics.However, the content related to physics is not difficult, and the content related to mathematics is difficult.

"Teacher Yu, Teacher Gu, I'm starting."

"Okay, okay, then we won't bother you." Yu Wenbai and Gu Xuezhen left the office, leaving room for Yu Juexiu.

Yu Juexiu sat at the desk, took a pen and scribbled down many formulas on the straw paper.He calculated it completely according to his own thinking, and did not solve it according to the thinking calculated by the engineers of the previous space agency.

In the quiet office, the sound of writing was constantly echoing.

Soon, an hour passed, and Yu Juexiu continued to count.

At this time, Gu Xuezhen walked in lightly, poured a cup of tea for Yu Juexiu, and then quietly backed out.

Yu Juexiu was completely immersed in calculations, and did not notice anything about Gu Xuezhen's entry.

After a while, two hours passed, and Yu Juexiu's calculations also got stuck.

Yu Juexiu frowned slightly, read his calculation from beginning to end, and then crumpled the draft paper into a ball.Grab another piece of scratch paper and recalculate.Since you can't calculate it head-on, then calculate it backwards.

In the process of reverse calculation, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yu Juexiu's mind, and then he saw the corner of his mouth curled up, and quickly wrote down a bunch of formulas on the draft paper.

Seeing whether Yu Juexiu would end in a while, Yu Wenbai went back to Qingda first.

Gu Xuezhen had been waiting outside the office where Yu Juexiu was, but he didn't see Yu Juexiu come out until dinner time, so he had to go in and ask Yu Juexiu to eat.

"Mr. Gu, I won't eat dinner." Yu Juexiu said to Gu Xuezhen while lowering his head and calculating seriously.

Seeing that Yu Juexiu seemed to be very inspired, Gu Xuezhen didn't want to bother him anymore.Because once Yu Juexiu's train of thought is interrupted, it is very likely that it will be completely broken.

He quietly left the office, went to the cafeteria to eat, and told the cafeteria to leave some food for Yu Juexiu.

Yu Juexiu is full of inspiration now, he doesn't feel hungry or thirsty at all, and concentrates on calculating.

At this time, Fu Jueheng was very worried because he could not be contacted.Later, when I learned that Yu Juexiu was at the space agency, I felt relieved.

When Gu Xuezhen came back after dinner, he saw that Yu Juexiu was still calculating in his original posture, and he didn't dare to go in to disturb Yu Juexiu, so he sat in the outer office.

The calculations that Yu Jue was correcting involved too much knowledge, and the calculations were very complicated, and it was not good to calculate in just a few hours.

After counting until ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Juexiu finally figured it out.

Gu Xuezhen heard a sound coming from the inner office, and hurried in.

Yu Juexiu smiled at Gu Xuezhen: "Teacher Gu, I figured it out."

"Really?" Gu Xuezhen was surprised.

Yu Juexiu nodded slightly: "Well, I figured it out." After finishing speaking, he handed a stack of draft paper to Gu Xuezhen, "Look at it."

"Okay." Gu Xuezhen took the manuscript paper with both hands, and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Yu Juexiu sat quietly by the side, not disturbing Gu Xuezhen.

Gu Xuezhen turned over the paper very quickly, his expression gradually became excited, and his eyes gradually widened.The more he looked behind, Gu Xuezhen's expression became more and more excited.

After about half an hour, Gu Xuezhen finally finished reading Yu Juexiu's manuscript, his fair face was flushed with excitement, and he kept saying, "Okay, okay, that's great!" After finishing speaking , he reached out and held Yu Juexiu's hands tightly, with an ecstatic expression on his face.

"Xiaoyu, thank you so much!"

Yu Juexiu smiled modestly: "Mr. Gu, you don't need to be so polite."

Gu Xuezhen firmly held Yu Juexiu's hands, and said gratefully: "It's all thanks to you this time, otherwise we don't know when we will get stuck." Old Yu is right, Yu Juexiu is a genius, Asking him to do the calculations would definitely succeed, and it did!

"Mr. Gu, you are too serious." Although the problem given to him by the space agency is a bit difficult, compared with Goldbach's conjecture, it is much simpler.

Gu Xuezhen didn't lose his mind because of the excitement. At this moment, he remembered that Yu Juexiu hadn't eaten or drank water until now.

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner first."

"Mr. Gu, just tell me where the cafeteria is. I'll go there by myself. You can go to work first."

"I'll find someone to take you there." Gu Xuezhen called his assistant over, and asked the assistant to take Yu Juexiu to the cafeteria.

Yu Juexiu didn't feel hungry when he was calculating, but now that the matter is over, he feels so hungry that he could eat a cow.

Fortunately, a lot of food was left for him in the cafeteria, and Yu Juexiu ate four bowls of rice in one go before he felt less hungry.

At this time, Gu Xuezhen took the formula deciphered by Yu Juexiu to find other people.

In the conference room, several engineers gathered around to watch Yu Juexiu's cracking process. While watching, they marveled at Yu Juexiu's cleverness.

The engineers of the space agency are all people with high IQs, so they can naturally understand Yu Juexiu's cracking process.After reading all the cracking steps of Yu Juexiu, everyone looked sober.

The problem that had been stuck for a while was solved, and the engineers were of course very happy. One by one, they decided not to sleep at night, and hurried to the next thing.

After Yu Juexiu finished his meal, he was taken to find Gu Xuezhen and the others.

When Gu Xuezhen and the others saw Yu Juexiu, they thanked him again.Afterwards, Gu Xuezhen and Yu Juexiu briefly introduced their next work.

Because Yu Juexiu has already completed four years of undergraduate physics courses, he can naturally understand what Gu Xuezhen and the others are talking about.

Although he studied quantum physics, he still has a little understanding of astrophysics.

Seeing that Yu Juexiu listened carefully and understood, Gu Xuezhen told him a lot without knowing it.

For the time being, Yu Juexiu can only help Gu Xuezhen and the others in mathematics, but not in other aspects.After chatting with Gu Xuezhen for a while, he left.

Because it's too late, and it's too remote here, it's not convenient to go back now, so Yu Juexiu will temporarily live in the dormitory of the space agency tonight.

The next morning, Yu Juexiu woke up on time, washed up briefly, and went to find Gu Xuezhen.As a result, it was discovered that Gu Xuezhen and the other engineers hadn't slept all night, and they were still working until now.

Seeing that Gu Xuezhen and the others were busy, Yu Juexiu was embarrassed to go in and disturb them, so he turned and went to the cafeteria.He originally planned to run to exercise, but this is the space agency after all, he better not run around.

After he finished his breakfast, Gu Xuezhen's assistant came over and took him to see Gu Xuezhen.

Gu Xuezhen thanked Yu Juexiu again, and apologized for not entertaining him well last night.

Yu Juexiu said that there is no need to be so polite, he will not be able to help in the future, so he will go back to Qingda first.

Gu Xuezhen asked his assistant to personally drive Yu Juexiu back to Qingda University.

"Little fish, thanks to you for this incident, when our rocket is launched, I must invite you to come and witness."

When Yu Juexiu said this, his eyes lit up immediately, "I will definitely come when the time comes." He hadn't seen a rocket launch yet.Being able to witness the launch process of the rocket at the scene this time makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

Gu Xuezhen raised his hand and patted Yu Juexiu's shoulder, "I'll call you when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you Teacher Gu."

"It's me who should thank you well." Gu Xuezhen saw that Yu Juexiu seemed to be very interested in the aerospace industry, and couldn't help having an idea in his heart.

Yu Juexiu chatted with Gu Xuezhen for a while, then left the space agency.He asked Gu Xuezhen's assistant to send him directly back to Qingda, so he wouldn't go back to the apartment.

When Luo Xiuming saw Yu Juexiu came back, he said with a shocked face: "You really helped Lao Gu and the others figure it out."

Yu Juexiu said modestly, "It's just luck."

Luo Xiuming didn't believe Yu Juexiu's words, and gave him a thumbs up: "Good job!" After speaking, thinking that Yu Juexiu had just returned from the space agency, he asked Yu Juexiu to go back to rest first.

"Teacher, I slept through last night, so I don't need to go back to rest." Although he only slept for five hours last night, Yu Juexiu didn't feel tired, "I'll continue with the experiment."

Seeing Yu Juexiu's energetic expression, Luo Xiuming let him go without stopping him from doing experiments.

At noon, Luo Xiuming came to find Yu Juexiu for dinner again.

Just after eating, Yu Wenbai came over again.However, this time he came here with two dishes, he didn't come here empty-handed.

When Luo Xiuming saw Yu Wenbai holding the food in his hand, he knew that he was going to eat.

Before eating, Yu Wenbai praised Yu Juexiu fiercely, and then sighed: "I knew you would be able to calculate it."

"Actually, it's not difficult. It requires reverse calculation..." Yu Juexiu simply told Yu Wenbai about his deciphered ideas.

After hearing this, Yu Wenbai suddenly realized something, and then praised Yu Juexiu: "Your idea of ​​solving the problem is very clever." When listening to Yu Juexiu's explanation, they thought it was not difficult, but they just couldn't think of such a thing. crack method.

Luo Xiuming nodded in agreement: "You have a brilliant mind." Xiaoyu is an out-and-out genius.Geniuses think more flexibly than ordinary people like them.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, you are a mathematician now, are you interested in becoming an associate professor?" Yu Wenbo asked suddenly.

Yu Juexiu, who was eating, almost choked when he heard this.

"Associate professor?" He said, pointing to himself, "Me?"

Yu Wenbo nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I discussed it with Lao Chi and decided to invite you to be an associate professor in the School of Mathematics."

Yu Juexiu: "!!!!!!"

Luo Xiuming was also shocked by Yu Wenbo's words, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Xiaoyu, you can be a professor at your level, but you also know that the school has school rules that allow you to be an associate professor first." Yu Wenbai learned from Nelson that many well-known foreign universities want to hire him. Yu Juexiu works as a professor, teaching students in their school.He was worried that Yu Juexiu would be taken away, so he specifically went to Chi Qinghai to discuss making Yu Juexiu an associate professor in the School of Mathematics.

Chi Qinghai was not old-fashioned, and would not object to this proposal because Yu Juexiu was young. On the contrary, he felt that it was nothing to be an associate professor in the School of Mathematics at Yu Juexiu's level, so he agreed without saying a word.

In fact, the reason why Chi Qinghai agreed so readily was because he heard that the School of Chinese Studies of Beijing University was planning to pay a lot of money to lure Yu to be a guest professor to teach Chinese studies.He couldn't just watch their talented mathematicians and future scientists being snatched away by Beijing University, so he agreed to Yu Wenbai's proposal.

Yu Juexiu was stunned for a while before recovering, his tone still surprised: "Teacher, I am too young, am I suitable to be an associate professor?"

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry that you are not suitable to be an associate professor." Yu Wenbai smiled gently towards Yu Juexiu, "Your level is complete and you are qualified to be an associate professor."

Yu Wenbai talked all the way to this point, and Yu Juexiu was no longer hypocritical.

"Since teacher, you think I can do it, then I have no problem."

In other words, he became an associate professor of the School of Mathematics of Qingda University. Doesn't this matter seem scary to outsiders?
