Great Country Academician

Chapter 114: A Research Project That Really Burns Money

Xu Chuan attended the party, and he came with the idea of ​​coming to know and communicate with other top mathematicians.

But he underestimated what he had done before.

Now wherever he goes, people basically come up to say hello to him, ask for autographs, ask for group photos and so on.

In addition, many mathematics professors came to ask him questions, and whether he would choose to study abroad in the future, and recommended a lot of various schools to him.

From Harvard to Yale, to Caltech to Berkeley, from Australian University to Oxbridge, every school with a slightly more famous mathematics department has handed over business cards.

Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, this boy who has already proved a world-class conjecture problem at the age of 18 is destined to win a Fields Medal.

And such an honor is not only his own, but also his alma mater.

After being tossed about at the party, there was no time to chat with other mathematics professors about mathematics, so Xu Chuan simply slipped away from the dance.

He has already seen many girls in dresses staring at him eager to try, so in order to stay innocent in the world, it is better to slip away early.

As soon as he got back to the hotel room, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

After swiping open the door, Xu Chuan took out his phone and saw that it was his mentor Chen Zhengping calling.

"Hello, teacher."

Xu Chuan answered the phone and said hello first.

"Academician Zhang Weiping called me, and he said that you have proved the complete Weyl-Berry conjecture?" Chen Zhengping quickly asked on the other end of the phone.

"The certificate has been issued, but it has not been reviewed, so it is impossible to determine whether there are any defects." Xu Chuan said with a smile.

"Professor Deligne and Professor Fellman have confirmed the proof process, there must be no problem."

"I really didn't expect you to be able to prove the Weyl-Berry conjecture in just two or three days after proving the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture."

"When Zhang Weiping called me before, I thought that someone with the same name and surname proved this mathematical conjecture, and I was still sorry for you at that time, after all, you have already solved the weakened form of the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture. "

"I didn't expect that after finally figuring it out, it was really you."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping couldn't stop sighing.

A freshman student has solved two world-class problems in less than a year. Although they are mathematical problems under the same system, it is hard to believe.

If it wasn't for the fact that the paper hadn't been published yet, it is estimated that even Renren Daily and News Network would publicize and report this matter.

As Zhang Weiping said, there is no shortage of Chinese in the Fields Medal, but Huaguo needs a Fields Medal.

Now that there is such a talented boy, I am afraid that the state apparatus will start promoting him to prepare for the mathematics conference two years later.

It doesn't matter even if he can't get it in two years, he still has at least 20 years to make breakthroughs and contributions in this area, so as to bring back a Fields Medal for the motherland.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that he is about to lose this disciple?

After all, Xu Chuan is so talented in mathematics, there is no reason why he should not continue to study mathematics in depth.

As for physics, although he is not very clear about how far Xu Chuan has learned in the past six months or so, compared to the achievement of solving world-class mathematical conjectures, even if he has taken university courses, even graduate students, and Ph.D. It is not worth mentioning that all the undergraduate courses are self-study.

After all, it is a mathematical conjecture that can directly be nominated for the Fields Medal two years later, and Chen Zhengping still has a certain idea of ​​which is more important.

After thinking wildly in his mind for a while, Chen Zhengping came back to his senses, and then asked, "When will you return to China?"

"It may take a while, as short as a week, as long as about a month, because the review process of Weyl-Berry's conjecture requires me to answer questions throughout the process."

Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied, mainly the proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture, which has not yet passed the review.

For this world-class mathematical conjecture, the review process is completely different from the proof process of the previous weak Weyl-Berry conjecture.

A complete proof of the Weyl-Berry conjecture needs to be reviewed by at least six mathematicians, just as Professor Wiles proved the Fermat conjecture.

During the review process, the prover needs to answer every question from the jury. Only when all questions are passed and the jury has no new doubts will the conjecture be published in mathematics journals.

As for the speed of time, it depends on the difficulty of the mathematical conjecture being proved, and whether the prover's proof paper is detailed enough or something like that.

Xu Chuan can guarantee that his proof process is not a problem in his opinion, but he is not sure how long it will take.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you stay for a few days. Just pay attention to your safety there. If you don't have enough funds, don't worry. Just use it. Just remember to bring the invoice and receipt back. The school will reimburse you when the time comes."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping explained with a smile that proving the weak Weyl-Berry conjecture and proving the complete Weyl-Berry conjecture are two completely different concepts.

The influence of the former in the mathematics world is about six or seven thousand meters. Although it is difficult to climb up, there are still many people in the mathematics world who can do it.

As for the latter, the altitude is directly raised to more than 8,000 meters, and there are very few people who can climb this level of peaks.

"Oh, by the way, about when the complete Weyl-Berry conjecture proof will be published, and which journal are you going to publish it in?"

After a pause, Chen Zhengping continued to ask.

"I don't know yet, and I haven't thought about it, and I haven't written a thesis yet. After all, it was a sudden inspiration this afternoon, and it has to pass the review. Is there any problem, teacher?"

"As soon as possible, remember to choose a journal with greater influence. The school is waiting for your paper to be published, and then will apply for a bonus for you and recommend you to participate in the Ten Thousand Talents Program, Youqing, Jieqing, etc. organized by the above. selection of plans."

"Ten Thousand People Project? Youqing, Jieqing?"

Xu Chuan asked with some doubts and curiosity. He seemed to have heard of these terms, but he didn't know them very well. After all, he spent the rest of his life in the United States, and he couldn't go back when he was eligible to participate in these events.

"Well, these are national organizational plans, don't worry, there are only benefits and no harm to you."

Chen Zhengping smiled and briefly explained to Xu Chuan what the Ten Thousand Project, Youqing, and Jieqing are.

"So that's the case, then I will write the paper as soon as possible."

After briefly listening to the instructor's introduction, Xu Chuan nodded and replied.

To put it simply, the rapidly developing Huaguo urgently needs a group of talents who can break through key technologies, develop high-tech industries, and drive emerging disciplines.

However, these talents are not available, not many or not enough in China. Therefore, the country launched the "Hundred Talents Program" in 1994, the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" in 2008, and the "Ten Thousand Talents Program" in 2012.

In addition, "xx Scholars" and "Local Talent Attraction Programs" around the country have also sprung up to launch the "Talent Recruitment" campaign.

The 10,000-person plan, the full name of the "National Special Support Plan for High-level Talents", also known as the "National Special Support Plan", is a support plan for domestic high-level talents.

The overall goal is to select and support about 10,000 outstanding talents, leading talents and top-notch young talents in the fields of natural sciences, engineering technology, philosophy and social sciences, and higher education in a planned and focused manner in about 10 years from 2012.

In turn, a domestic high-level innovative and entrepreneurial talent team development system that complements and connects with the plan to introduce overseas high-level talents will be formed to support the country's technological development.

As for excellent youth and outstanding youth, it refers to the "National Outstanding Youth Science Fund Project" and "Excellent Youth Science Fund Project".

These two are referred to as "Jieqing" and "Excellent Youth", and they are the two talent projects that attract the most attention of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Selected projects can receive scientific research funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Jieqing is in charge of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. There are 200 students in all fields of natural sciences every year. It is also very, very difficult, and the age limit is under 45 years old;

The age limit for excellent youth is 38 years old for men and 40 years old for women, and 400 people below each year, all natural subjects.

Whether it is the Ten Thousand Talents Program or the Youqing and Jieqing, these people are the pillars and outstanding talents of the country. They play a vital role in the development of the country and are the hope and future of the country.

Of course, corresponding support and benefits, such as scientific research funding, bonuses, material support, etc. will also be available.

After chatting with his tutor for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone and started sorting out documents and writing papers instead.

Judging from what he learned from his mentor, the Ten Thousand Talents Program and Youqing are not of great significance to him, and the benefits are probably more scientific research funds and bonuses.

However, as a scholar, it is still very good to be recognized by the country.

As for scientific research funding and bonuses, to be honest, researching mathematics generally does not require much scientific research funding.

What really needs scientific research funding is high-energy physics and material physics, but these research projects often start with a research funding of one million yuan, and there is no upper limit.

For example, his research on the Higgs field and the origin of particles in his previous life burned more than two billion meters of gold in one year, and an average of seven million meters of gold was burned every day.

Therefore, the scientific research funds given by the Ten Thousand People Project and Youqing may be a lot in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the things he wants to study, that's the case.

As for some other things, such as political benefits, forget it, he has no interest in politics, nor does he want to go into politics in the past.

After spending more than an hour sorting out the manuscripts and materials, Xu Chuan took a shower and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, I have an appointment with Professor Artur Avila tomorrow morning. If I stay up late, it will inevitably be difficult to get up the next day. It would be too rude to be late.

There was nothing to say all night, and after six o'clock the next day, Xu Chuan had already gotten out of bed before dawn in the depths of winter.

I have to say that exercise is the best way to improve physical strength and energy. It has been more than a year since he was reborn, and his physical fitness has been greatly strengthened. Sleeping for about six hours a day is enough to ensure a full day of energy up.

After a simple running exercise and washing up, Xu Chuan came to the restaurant in Princeton to have breakfast.

Although the exchange meeting on the fifth day did not include reports and evening parties, the exchange meeting was not over yet. Three meals and exchange venues would still be provided in the auditorium, but it was not as rich as the previous two days.

"Hi Xu, good morning."

In the restaurant, Xu Chuan was choosing food when a rough voice sounded in his ear.

Looking up, it was Professor Artur Avila with a bushy short beard, who was also picking out breakfast with a plate.

"Morning, Professor Avila."

Xu Chuan greeted with a smile, and the two stood side by side.

"Xu, try this. It seems to be fried with potatoes and eggs. It tastes very good. There is also this roll, which seems to be called green onion roll. I heard that it is a delicacy in your country. It is very fragrant."

Correcting the plate, Professor Avila enthusiastically recommended various delicacies to Xu Chuan.

But to be honest, Xu Chuan was not very interested in the various delicacies he recommended.

On the one hand, he lived in Princeton for more than ten years in his previous life.

On the other hand, you have to know where he comes from, a food kingdom ranked number one in the world, and you can choose any one of the eight major cuisines so that you can eat 365 days a year without repetition.

Fight food?

Don't be ridiculous, the whole world is not enough to fight.

As far as the food in the United States is concerned, the breakfast is basically the same, sandwiches, omelettes, potato cakes, muffins, bacon omelettes, etc. This is nationwide, and these things are basically all in the morning in the United States.

In contrast, Huaguo's breakfast has so many varieties that I don't know where to go.

Noodles, buns, noodles, fried dough sticks, glutinous rice chicken, bean curd, dumplings, rice cakes, sweet wine, roasted seedlings, scallion pancakes

Forget it, I can't give examples.

Anyway, there is no comparison at all.

In terms of eating, Xu Chuan has enough confidence in his motherland.

****I can't find the plan, and I can't type it out. I don't know why. Anyone know?
