Great Country Academician

At the foot of Zijin Mountain, Father Xu looked at the surrounding scenery, looked at the villas backed by the scenic spot, and asked curiously.

"By the way, Chuan'er, I forgot to ask last time, how much did you pay for this villa?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "I didn't spend any money. This is one of the benefits the country gave me after I returned to China."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "If you convert it into money, the villas here are at least 50 million yuan. Of course, the key point is that even if you have money, you can't buy villas near here."

"The villas in this area are all owned by Nantah University, and the people living in them are basically academician-level professors or scientific research scholars, and they are basically not for sale."

Hearing this, Xu's father and Xu's mother couldn't help but click their tongues.

Fifty million, this figure is an astronomical figure even if the family has become much richer due to Xu Chuan's relationship in the past two years.

Looking at the villa next to the scenic spot, Xu's father said seriously, "The country treats you so well, you must repay the motherland well."

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Of course, the scientific research project I chaired this year is about to succeed. The benefits that this project can bring to the country, let alone 50 million, are more than 500 billion."

He's not showing off how powerful he is, how much he can make money for the country, but just letting them know something for peace of mind.

The technology of reusing nuclear waste is worth more than 500 billion, and if it is sold for 5 trillion, the country will buy it.

When Father Xu heard this answer, he smiled and nodded. To him, 50 million, 500 billion is actually just a number, because the amount of money has already exceeded his imagination.

But as long as you understand the grace of a drop of water, it is enough to repay it with a spring.

"By the way, haven't your two students gone back to celebrate the New Year? It's twenty-five today. That girl doesn't go back to China to celebrate the New Year?" Mother Xu also asked curiously while browsing the surrounding scenery.

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Amelia doesn't want to go back, she is from the Germanic country, and the Spring Festival is not over there."

"As for the vacation." He shrugged, and continued: "They had been on vacation a long time ago, but because of some research problems, they started doing research again."

"In fact, there is not much difference between studying a Ph.D. and working part-time. Sometimes the holidays are early, and sometimes the holidays are late. It all depends on the mentor of the followers."

"If the tutor doesn't have a project in hand, then the holiday may be much earlier. If there is, maybe there will be no holiday during the Chinese New Year. It is normal to stay up all night to process data and do research."

Xu's father suddenly nodded, and sighed: "It was quite hard work, I thought it would be much easier to be a doctoral student."

Xu's mother didn't pay attention to this at all: "You said that the girl named Milia is not going home for the New Year, so where is she going?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while, and said, "She should be able to travel, she is very interested in our country's food, and likes to go shopping and eat."

Xu's mother slammed her lips and said: "Unfortunately, there are arrangements. If not, we can invite her to come to our house to celebrate the New Year together, and experience our Chinese New Year."

"By the way, where is the other girl named Liu Jiaxin that I met in Sweden last time?"

"She's definitely going back to her hometown for the New Year. Mom, what are you thinking about?" Xu Chuan couldn't laugh or cry.

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, if it's about getting married and looking for a partner, don't worry about it, old man."

"I'm still young. I'm only twenty-two years old today. Normally, I'm only a sophomore at this age. How can I get married so early? Let's wait until I'm thirty."

"Age in your twenties to thirties is the prime time for a scientific researcher. Although your son is now a great scientist at the Nobel Prize level, I still hope to go to a higher and farther place to see of."

Xu Chuan said with a smile, he knew what his mother was thinking, so he just pointed it out and said it.

He didn't say that he won't get married, but he just waited for a few more years.

It is normal for today's society to consider marriage after the age of thirty.

Xu's mother glanced at him, and complained: "Thirty years old, when can I hold my grandson?"

Xu Chuan shrugged, and Father Xu smiled, but said nothing.

In the Xu family, the best thing is probably the way parents educate their children.

Xu's father and Xu's mother will largely listen to the opinions of their own pair of children, and then encourage or discuss or exchange things related to Xu Chuan and Xu Xiao.

This is relatively rare in traditional Chinese education. Of course, with the changes of the times, there are more and more educational methods for parents and children to discuss things.

It is precisely because of this relatively rare education that a pair of grown-up sons and daughters were successfully cultivated in the end.

By the time Xu Chuan and his group came back, Xu Xiao had already played well with Amelia. Both of them could be said to be familiar with each other. Social bullshit is absolutely perfect against social bullshit. The living room is full of their laughter.

As for Gu Bing, he could only sit quietly by himself.

The topic between the two girls, he talked so much that he couldn't understand at all, and couldn't get in, so he could only sit on the side and wait obediently.

"Chuan'er, go and do yourself a favor. I'll call you after dinner." In the living room, Mother Xu carried a bag of dishes into the kitchen and pushed Xu Chuan out of the kitchen.

"Okay." Xu Chuan nodded, turned around and called Gu Bing and Amelia to the study.

"Brother, can I go in and listen in?"

In the living room, Xu Xiao leaned over and asked eagerly. Although she had seen many speeches and presentations by her elder brother, she hadn't really seen what it looked like when she was teaching.

Xu Chuan glanced at her, and said, "Okay, but everyone who comes in has a problem, and I can make a problem later to test how you've learned, if you don't do it."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao froze, and ran towards the kitchen with a smirk: "Brother, I'm going to help my mother cook, and I'll call you after dinner!"

Xu Chuan taught her homework from childhood to adulthood, and she really didn't want to understand her brother's questions anymore. They were simply not made by humans, and they were more tricky than the school teacher's questions.

Xu Xiao ran away, Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile, he was just trying to scare him.

This girl is now in college, majoring in biochemistry. He is not familiar with this knowledge, so it is impossible to ask questions. As for mathematics, let’s forget it, biochemistry uses very little mathematical knowledge.

After driving away the troublemakers, Xu Chuan led Gu Bing and Amelia into the study.

He took two test papers from the bookcase and handed them to the two.

"I'm really busy in the second half of this year, and I haven't paid much attention to your studies. This test paper can be regarded as a re-exploration for you at the end of the year."

"There are a total of five topics above, which revolve around your previous study directions and algebraic varieties and group mapping tools."

"The time to do the questions ends at five o'clock in the afternoon today. Apart from lunch and rest time, you still have about six hours. You can do as much as you can, and it doesn't matter if you can't. Write your understanding and ideas on it and let us I'll just take a look. I'll teach you well next year."

Five questions, six hours, to be honest, with the difficulty of his questions, these two people must not be able to answer them all.

But this is just a good way to touch the knowledge base of these two students.

Xu Chuan was really embarrassed that he didn't do his job well. So for this test, he also canceled the punishment and reward mechanism that was commonly used in the past, mainly to see how the two students studied in the second half of the year.

Of course, the so-called punishment and reward mechanism is nothing in fact. The punishment is mainly reading books, brushing questions, and doing some targeted exercises. It is stipulated that a certain amount needs to be completed within a certain time, such as how many books you read in a week. It is heavier than daily study.

As for rewards, they are more abundant.

From helping to apply for scholarships, participating in his projects, to participating in various experimental researches in other fields such as physics, materials, chemistry and so on.

For a doctoral student, these rewards are quite attractive.

In the study room, Gu Bing and Amelia took the test papers and answered them in the room.

Anyway, the study room is big enough, in addition to Xu Chuan's usual desk, there is also an extra tea table, so it's not a problem to use it temporarily as a guest desk.

As for Xu Chuan himself, he returned to his desk and continued his unfinished work.

Although today is his birthday, no one stipulates that he must rest on his birthday, right? Finishing the work at hand early is the most important thing.

The study room soon became quiet, and the three of them were busy with their own affairs.

Communication here is meaningless for the time being. Xu Chuan needs the help of Gu Bing and Amelia, and the two of them don't need to discuss with each other.

After all, this is an exam in essence. Can you still whisper and discuss non-stop when you have seen the exam?

Outside, Xu's father and Xu's mother were cooking, and Xu Xiao's girl wandered around the villa, choosing the room she wanted.

For her, a terminal patient with difficulty in choosing, it is a bit difficult to choose what she wants from a total of more than a dozen houses in a three-story villa.

It is estimated that she may not be able to get this done before lunch at noon today.

"Boom boom boom..."

The morning time passed unknowingly, and it was not until a series of knocks on the door that Xu Chuan recovered from the data screening.

"Brother, it's time to eat!"

Xu Xiao stood at the door yelling, Xu Chuan nodded, turned around and called Gu Bing and Amelia, who were still thinking about the questions on the test paper, and said, "I've read all the questions, how do you feel?"

Gu Bing said honestly: "It's quite difficult. If you give it a few days, you can do it with confidence. But I can solve it within today. To be honest, I can't do it. At most, I can make two or three things today." look."

Xu Chuan nodded, looked at Amelia and asked, "What about you?"

Amelia thought for a while, and said, "I can probably solve three problems, but I don't have much thoughts on the last two problems."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little surprised. He knew the questions he asked very well. In terms of difficulty, Amelia's questions were only two or three points lower than Gu Bing's.

Although the difficulty is lower, don't forget that Gu Bing is more than four years older, and has four years of study time. He is an authentic doctoral student.

Strictly speaking, Amelia hasn't finished her university studies yet. She was exchanged to Princeton for her undergraduate studies.

For doctoral-level questions, the difficulty is only two or three points lower, which means that these questions are actually far beyond the knowledge mastered by undergraduates.

She was able to unravel the three ways in one day. It has to be said that she did not waste her time eating all the delicacies in Huaguo when no one was restraining her.

Of course, this is also inseparable from her talent. It goes without saying that she can get full marks on IPHO.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Very good. It seems that you have not wasted your time in the past six months. Let's have dinner first and come back after a rest."

On the dining table, a large twenty-two-inch two-tier cake sits among the sumptuous dishes, lit with birthday candles. .

"Brother, happy birthday!" Xu Xiao jumped over and blessed with a smile.

"Chuan'er, happy birthday! Professor, happy birthday," Xu's father and Xu's mother and two students also said with a smile.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Brother, blow out the candles and make a wish!"

Xu Chuan smiled, leaned over and blew out the candles on the cake, closed his eyes and made a wish.

A good lunch, a twenty-two birthday.

For Xu Chuan, this is a day worth remembering forever.

The afternoon passed quickly, and Gu Bing and Amelia handed in the test papers on time. Xu Chuan simply flipped through them, and he roughly understood the current level of the two students.

Compared with those months in Princeton, their progress did slow down a lot in the second half of the year.

This is normal, after all, there is a lack of guidance and guidance from the instructor.

But their self-consciousness keeps them on the path of academics, and because they have more time to think, they now have some more unique views on some issues.

That's a great thing, especially on the academic track.

Independent thinking is always more important than repeated learning.

After seeing off the two students, Xu Chuan packed his clothes and followed his parents back to his hometown for the New Year.

The taste of the new year is getting stronger day by day. On the night of thirty, Xu Chuan sat on the balcony on the second floor, looking at the distant sky.

The faint smoke of firecrackers wafted in the air, the fireworks that illuminated the darkness in the night sky came into view, and the noisy and festive New Year downstairs could be heard in his ears, and he also had a smile on his face.

Not only is it a festive new year, but also the memory of the great harvest of the past year.

In 2018, he not only learned a deeper knowledge of mathematics at Princeton, but also made more self-breakthroughs.

Whether it is in the field of high-energy physics, or in the field of mathematics, even in the field of astronomy that he himself has never thought of.

He has won the Fields Medal, the Nobel Prize, and the two highest awards in mathematics and physics.

More importantly, he returned to the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere smoothly. After all, I took some risks when I went out to study, but it's all over now.

Next year will be a brand new year. The problem of reusing nuclear waste has been solved, and the deciphering of the deadly lithium dendrites in lithium batteries has been completed. As a result, the motherland and electric energy will develop rapidly.

And he can also pursue something that has not yet broken through.

Also like NS equation, also like controllable nuclear fusion
