From all-round academic master to chief scientist - Chapter 193 The interests behind it

Seeing the admiration on the faces of the students in the audience, Zheng Ren had a smile on his face.

Perhaps what he said was too conservative. Lin Xiao’s two papers brought a brand new theory to their world. Or, this should be called the Miracle Year!

Yes, this is the Miracle Year!

Because only the Miracle Year can describe the birth of this great theory!

Looking at the students discussing enthusiastically below, Zheng Ren said as if showing off: “By the way, I forgot to tell you, Lin Xiao and I were neighbors living in the same building back then, and he used to come to my house often. Breaking through the door.”

Hearing Zheng Ren say this, the students below suddenly showed surprised expressions: “Wow! Is it so good? Is it true?”

“Can I still lie to you?” Zheng Ren said with a smile, looking at the envious expressions of these students. Although he was a professor, he still felt strangely happy at this moment.

Seeing Zheng Ren confirm again, these students immediately asked questions one after another:

“Teacher, what is Lin Shen like in private?”

“Teacher, I heard that Lin Shen studies in addition to studying every day. Is it true?”

“teacher……”

…

Zheng Ren replied with a smile: “He must be studying very seriously. If you want to be as outstanding as others, you must also learn this.”

“As for his usual life, you, Senior Lin, actually like cats very much. In the words of you young people, he is probably a cat slave.”

Hearing what Zheng Ren said, these students all showed surprised expressions. They didn’t expect that the person they admired had such a preference.

Especially the girls started discussing, “Lin Shen also likes cats. He must be a gentle person, right?”

“Definitely!”

“What kind of cat do you think Lin Shen raises?”

“It’s a ragdoll cat.”

“Kexin, how do you know?”

“I used to be a tutor for Professor Zheng’s granddaughter, and then I met his ragdoll cat named Mimi, and I even touched it.”

“Wow?! Is it true? I’ve never heard you say that before.”

“There’s nothing to say.”

…

Seeing his students like this, Zheng Ren smiled, and just at this moment, the end of get out of class bell rang, and then Zheng Ren said: “Okay, this class will end here. If there is a chance in the future, , I’ll ask Lin Xiao to come over and give you a lesson, how about it?”

“Great!”

Suddenly the whole class cheered.

“Long live Teacher Zheng!”

“Teacher Zheng is the male god!”

…

Zheng Ren shook his head with a smile, then turned and left the classroom.

Soon, he returned to his office.

“By the way, I don’t know how Mr. Yang is doing now. He should be very happy after hearing the news.”

Suddenly thinking of this, Zheng Ren took out his phone and planned to call Mr. Yang.

But when the call was connected, it was Old Secretary Yang’s call, saying that Old Yang was being interviewed, and it was also about Lin Xiao.

After hearing the news, Zheng Ren couldn’t help but smile. Indeed, the media’s sense of smell should have asked Mr. Yang to interview him.

After all, Mr. Yang had said at the beginning that Lin Xiao could make up for the talent gaps and deficiencies in the Chinese physics community.

And Lin Xiao did not live up to Mr. Yang’s expectations at all. In less than two years, Lin Xiao has become a top scholar in the world of physics, and he alone is enough.

There is no need to worry about what Mr. Yang was worried about at the beginning. Even if China builds CEPC in the future, as long as Lin Xiao is there, even if high-energy physicists from other countries come over, they will still be worried because Lin Xiao is here. There is no need to worry about their things being used as wedding dresses for people abroad.

This is the role of a top physicist, especially Lin Xiao’s second paper “Particles in Multidimensional Fields”, which established his position in the world of particle physics.

Now, among the living scientists, the only physicists who can be in the same position as Lin Xiao are Yang Lao, Higgs and Edward Witten. Even in terms of the results he has produced, Lin Xiao is even better. Juechen.

“It seems that maybe CEPC will be built in five or six years, and I will have to help that guy Lin Xiao.”

Thinking of this, Zheng Ren couldn’t help but laugh. Of course, he was still looking forward to that day.

However, thinking of this, he couldn’t help but think about one thing. CEPC was promoted by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Will Lin Xiao really be able to exert his own influence on CEPC by then?

…

“Academician Wang, maybe we will really have to attack that young man in the future.”

Chinese Academy of Sciences, Institute of High Energy Physics.

In an office, two middle-aged and elderly people were talking.

And that Academician Wang, called Wang Yi, is the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and plays a decisive role in the modern high energy physics community in China. For example, he designed and led the Daya Bay Nuclear Reactor Neutrino Experiment, including CEPC The concept was also initiated by him and he applied for funding from the central government.

As for the person who just spoke, his name is Fan Min, and he is the deputy director of the Institute of High Energy.

Hearing Fan Min’s words, Wang Yi’s expression was cold: “I have been proposing this initiative since 2012 and participated in almost all the designs of CEPC. I have been working hard to get the funding. It even takes six or seven years to build it, and then you tell me, by that time, our peaches will still have to be picked?”

Regarding the construction of CEPC, their entire High Energy Research Institute unanimously agreed, and Wang Yi played a crucial role in it. Without his various efforts, it would be difficult for the higher-ups to approve him. .

There is a reason why they worked so hard to create CEPC.

After all, that’s tens of billions of dollars, and something that will enable them to occupy a pivotal position in the future world.

Because as an advocate of CEPC, although this thing nominally belongs to the country, in the end it is obviously still dominated by their high-energy institutes. The improvement of their status in the academic world will be extremely huge, and they can even be given to them casually. I don’t know how many academicians have come out, so of course they hope to vigorously develop this.

And they also think that this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I don’t know how many of the world’s top physicists can be attracted by then. For example, the Large Hadron Collider in Europe will make people wonder how many high-energy physics It’s almost as if everyone lives there, and it also promotes physics education nearby.

If they could establish CEPC, wouldn’t they be able to attract many physicists to China and promote their physics education?

However, what they didn’t expect was that Mr. Yang directly posted a message online expressing his disapproval.

Obviously, Mr. Yang’s words were more effective above, which led to the postponement of this matter from 2016 to 2018. By the end of 2018, with their persistence, the approval was finally passed, but The original funding of more than 100 billion has been temporarily adjusted to 40 billion. Later funding will still need to wait until the results are completed before making a decision.

This naturally makes them not have a good impression of Mr. Yang, and they often even say bad things behind his back.

For example, when Mr. Yang directly stated publicly that it would be enough to have Lin Xiao in the future, there would be no need to worry about the lack of people in their physics community. They all expressed ridicule in private at the beginning.

Although they also envy Lin Xiao’s achievements in mathematics, no matter what, they have nothing to do with their high-energy physics. Their high-energy physics is an experimental science. Who knows if you learn mathematics well, you can play an important role in high-energy physics? ?

So they were not worried at all that a top physicist would emerge in the future to compete with them for control of CEPC.

So they no longer paid attention to this matter. Although they later heard that Lin Xiao had made other amazing achievements in mathematics and chemistry, they did not care about those things. Anyway, they were all related to Physics doesn’t matter.

Even if it is really related to physics, they will not worry. It is impossible that Lin Xiao has made a physical achievement. Is it possible that he can directly become a top physicist and win the Nobel Prize in Physics?

Not to that extent, if you want to pick their peaches, don’t even think about it. At most, you can just come to their research institute and become a researcher.

However, an accident still happened. In their opinion, the most unlikely thing happened. Lin Xiao really produced such a top-notch physics result and really had a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

For them, this was something they had never imagined.

Listen, multidimensional field theory, what a physically meaningful name it sounds like, sounds like it can be compared with the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, and in fact, it can indeed be compared with these two things.

Faced with such a situation, they all felt a kind of pressure.

Fan Min sighed and said: “Oh, this Lin Xiao, I don’t know how his brain grew. He is so good at mathematics and physics. Is he still alive like Newton?”

“Okay, stop talking.” Wang Yi snorted coldly and said, “Why are you talking nonsense? I want to see if he really dares to come and rob us. If he dares to rob, I will give up. My old face is going to be brought to the top, not to mention that I, Wang Yi, have devoted so much to CEPC for so many years, and it would be a bit unfair if the top directly let that young man take advantage of me.”

Hearing what Wang Yi said, Fan Min shook his head, “If he wants it, do you think the superiors will refuse? Even if they don’t ride on your head, how about being on an equal footing with you?”

Wang Yi did not answer this.

At this time, Fan Min said again: “I’ll think of a solution later. Maybe he won’t return to China in the future?”

“Don’t mess around.” Wang Yi said.

“Definitely not messing around.”

Fanmin smiled.
