On March 13, the National University of Singapore held a special award ceremony for Zheng Li and awarded Mahathir an honorary doctorate in science.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, very few people participated in the awarding ceremony. In addition to the leaders of the National University of Singapore, only senior executives of Temasek and the director of the Science and Technology Biotech Lion City R&D Center participated.
“This time, Mr. Zheng is awarded an honorary doctorate of science in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the biomedical field in Lion City and his breakthrough achievements in the field of biomedicine.
Zheng Li is a scientist, entrepreneur and philanthropist with rare talent and hard work. He has made profound and outstanding contributions in many fields. The National University of Singapore is honored to award him this honor..."
After the endorphin production capacity was gradually released, Kechuang Biotech donated some supplies to Lion City.
After Temasek participated in the Series B investment of Kechuang Biotech, the National University of Singapore proposed to award Zheng Li an honorary doctorate.
It's just that Zheng Li has never been free. When he found time, the Lion City National University immediately arranged the process and participants.
The reason why Zheng Li was willing to accept this honorary doctorate was to bring an end to his more than half-year school career at Blue Star.
Although it is not the graduation ceremony of Jiangcheng University.
After the special award ceremony, the president of the National University of Singapore, Chen Yongcai, and Zheng Li chatted privately:
"Mr. Zheng is really young. Meeting Mr. Zheng reminds me of the green years many years ago."
Zheng Li smiled and said: "Mr. Chen still looks young now, not a few years older than me."
Chen Yongcai waved his hand: "Mr. Zheng, you are too polite. I am many years older than you."
"I came from the School of Mathematics. I got my bachelor's degree in mathematics from the National University of Singapore. After working as a lecturer at the National University of Singapore for several years, I went to Yale to get my doctorate in mathematics."
"Because I learned that Mr. Zheng, you are also from the School of Mathematics, so I feel particularly close to you."
Zheng Li: "I don't seem to have attended a few classes at the School of Mathematics. Every time I went there was a test."
Chen Yongcai knows Zheng Li very well: "Your deeds have also been reported by the media in our Lion City. I know that when you were at the School of Mathematics at Jiangcheng University, you only took exams and did not attend classes, and you got perfect scores in everything."
Zheng Li: "When I was young and frivolous, I felt that the content I learned in college was too simple."
Chen Yongcai: "Yes, I have also read the article you published on ARMA. Judging from the article, your level is far higher than that of undergraduate students, and even many PhD students are not as good as you."
"The direction you are working on is the PDE direction. I only have a basic understanding of this direction, but your mathematical aesthetics is well reflected."
Chen Yongcai is a Ph.D. in mathematics who studies the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. From a broad classification, Lie groups and Lie algebras belong to topology.
Zheng Li didn't expect that someone would still remember a PDE he wrote a long time ago: "Mr. Chen really understands me."
Chen Yongcai: "When Temasek executives approached me and asked me to award an honorary doctorate to a man who was only 20 years old, I refused."
"People are always more cautious the older they get, and I cannot ruin the reputation of Lion National because of Temasek's request."
Except for his brief PhD period at Yale, Tan Yongcai has been studying and teaching at the National University of Singapore. It can be said that he spent most of his time at the National University of Singapore and has a deep affection for it.
The architectural style of the Lion City National University is harmonious with the style of the entire city. Chen Yongcai and Zheng Li stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the principal's office and looked out. They could not see any buildings, because there was a large lawn in front of the building where the principal's office was located.
Chen Yongcai continued: "Ms. He told me that you are a genius comparable to Galois. It is an honor for the National University of Singapore to award you an honorary doctorate."
"Ms. He knows that I have a background in mathematics, so please forgive me for using Galois as a metaphor."
Zheng Li is well versed in the history of Blue Star science and knows why Chen Yongcai apologized. Because Galois died young at the age of 21 and he is now 20. Saying that he is similar to Galois will inevitably make people think too much.
"It's okay, we are all engaged in science, we are not so superstitious."
Chen Yongcai: "Haha, it's my fault. It's rare for Ms. He to give such a high evaluation to someone. Then I looked at your resume and your published papers."
"I lament that there is a missing genius in the field of mathematics. Yesterday I was complaining to Paul that biology has poached geniuses from our field of mathematics."
"Paul is the chair of the biology department."
"Your current achievements are outstanding, and I am honored to award you this doctorate on behalf of Lions National University."
Zheng Li: "I am also honored to become an honorary doctorate from the National University of Singapore. I hope that Science and Technology Biotechnology can cooperate more with the National University of Singapore in the future. We are in urgent need of all kinds of talents."
"Kechuang Biotechnology's R&D center in the Lion City has always been short of people."
"I even want to poach professors from your Lion City National University."
"Mr. Chen, if any of your professors want to resign, I hope you can tell me in advance."
Chen Yongcai said helplessly: "I am happy to see our graduates go to Kechuang Biotech. Kechuang Biotech is a company with a bright future."
"I believe that brain-computer connection is one of the important technological trends in the future, but your attempt to poach my professor is a bit too much."
"It's not easy for us to find a professor."
Faculty members abroad are extremely cautious, and even when recruiting researchers abroad, they are particularly cautious. When recruiting researchers abroad, as long as you are recruited, you can see the hope of becoming a professor step by step.
Unlike some colleges and universities in China that change their policies all day long, and all kinds of students are promoted or left, which is like raising a worm.
Zheng Li: "Hahaha, there must be professors who want to try their luck in the industry. To be honest, in many research fields, the industry is far ahead of academia."
Chen Yongcai: "There is nothing we can do about it. The industry's investment is much higher than that of academia."
Zheng Li: "Science and Technology Biotechnology can cooperate with the Lion City National University to set up a laboratory in the direction of biomedicine. Some professors can work part-time. We can discuss in detail how to divide the research results."
...
A few days later, in the Lion City R&D Center of Kechuang Biotechnology, Li Wanqing glanced at the Blancpain classic series watch on his wrist and realized that it was already past six o'clock. Today is the wedding anniversary of him and his girlfriend:
"Oops, time flies too fast, I have to go back quickly."
The epidemic situation in the Lion City has been volatile, causing the lockdown policy in the Lion City to be in dynamic change. Li Wanqing and his wife originally planned to go to Les Amis for their wedding anniversary this year, but now they have to go home and do it themselves.
Li Wanqing hurriedly packed up his things and left the R&D center of Kechuang Biotechnology.
After walking out of the building, he habitually looked back and saw that the lights on the seventeenth floor were still on:
"Director Zheng really works too hard. He has nothing but work every day. His talent is better than ordinary people like us, and his efforts are far beyond ordinary people. He really can't compare with this kind of monster."
At this time, Zheng Li was conducting a suitability experiment on the matching degree of the demon brain on the seventeenth floor. This was the last step before the artificial demon brain was implanted.
