Lecture Hall No. 3 on the fifth floor of the Western Library of HKUST.
The lecture hall, which only has 280 seats, can only accommodate more than 500 people.
Among these people, there are undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students, and many of them come here because of its reputation.
These people chatted excitedly.
"This is my first time to listen to Professor Changsheng's lecture. Is Professor Changsheng really as amazing as you say?"
"Of course, let's not talk about the distance. Have you seen Professor Changsheng's recent paper "Light of Life" published in "Cell"? Monkey epidermal cells that were about to apoptotic were restored to new life under the irradiation of specific wavelengths of light..."
"Is this true? This is a great discovery! If we figure out the mechanism, the Nobel Prize will be guaranteed. Speaking of which, Professor Immortality is awesome! He will be in trouble on the road to researching immortality."
…
While everyone in the lecture hall was chatting happily, a handsome man walked into the lecture hall carrying a laptop.
For a moment, the noisy lecture hall fell silent.
"Su Zhe, this is Professor Ning Changsheng Ning!" Qian Sanduo reminded Su Zhe very quietly.
"This...isn't right! Professor Ning should be in his early forties, but this is too young." Su Zhe looked surprised.
Professor Ning, standing on the podium, looked like a middle-aged man in his early forties. From the appearance, he looked exactly like a young man in his twenties.
"Su Zhe! Think about the research direction of Professor Changsheng, immortality!" Mao Zhenguo lowered his voice very low, "Some people say that Professor Changsheng's own genes are very special, others say that Professor Changsheng changed his own genes, and... "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qian Sanduo pushed Mao Zhenguo.
On the podium, Ning Changsheng put down his laptop, looked at everyone in the lecture hall, and said with a smile: "There are still ten minutes left before the lecture. Let's continue chatting and don't worry about me."
After speaking, he began to prepare for the lecture.
Everyone in the lecture hall was stunned for a while, and then began to whisper.
"Professor Changsheng is so young, he looks like he is in his forties."
"This...Professor Changsheng wouldn't have given himself the light of life...the girl's favorite!"
"It's incredible... I don't know if the threshold for studying for a Ph.D. with Professor Changsheng is high. I want to study immortality."
…
"Senior Brother Sanduo! I'm not talking nonsense. Why don't you explain to me why Professor Changsheng is so young." Mao Zhenguo saw everyone starting to whisper, and he immediately retorted.
"Everyone's aging situation is different. Some people...some situations are hard to explain." Qian Sanduo wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary.
"That's right! You can't tell clearly." Mao Zhenguo was a little proud, "Brother! What do you think of me studying for a Ph.D. with Professor Changsheng? Will the teacher beat me to death?"
"I guess so. You have to know that the teacher values you very much. Besides, Professor Changsheng has tricked the teacher." Qian Sanduo smiled and nodded.
"Teachers are very stingy. Isn't it just the one million electricity bill?" Mao Zhenguo said and looked at Su Zhe, "Hey! Su Zhe, you are from Hanxi Province... Why are you here? Or are you with Senior Brother Sanduo? Together!"
"Xiao Mao! You have so many things to do." Qian Sanduo smiled and said, "Su Zhe studied with Professor Bao Zhengyi Bao at Shanngling University during the summer vacation. This time he came to HKUST with Fan Xiaoming."
Su Zhe smiled and nodded.
"That's right! That's right! Professor Bao and Fan Xiaoming are both geniuses." Mao Zhenguo acted like a big brother, "You majored in physics, so did they, and they both came from Lingzhou University of Technology. It's good for you to have a good relationship with them. It will be of great help in future development, let me tell you..."
"Mao Zhenguo! What did you say!" Qian Sanduo smiled awkwardly at Su Zhe.
"I'm saying this for Su Zhe's benefit. I won't say it to ordinary people." Mao Zhenguo looked like he didn't care.
"You... are too lazy to talk about you." Qian Sanduo looked at the time and said, "It's time for the lecture. Listen to the lecture carefully."
Several big words were displayed on the large screen on the side of the podium: light treatment of tumors.
Everyone looked at this and stopped discussing. The lecture hall became quiet.
Ning Changsheng raised his head, looked at the people in the audience, smiled and said: "Thank you everyone for taking the time to attend my lecture. Today's topic is the treatment of tumors with light. Before talking about today's topic, I will talk about some other topics. , the first thing I want to talk about is the study of scientific knowledge..."
After listening for a while, Su Zhe finally understood what Professor Ning Changsheng Ning wanted to express.
Don't worry about the so-called division of subjects. You cannot limit the boundaries of learning knowledge because of subjects.
"Physics, chemistry, and biology are separated in textbooks, but in reality they are not. There is no clear boundary between the three." Ning Changsheng said seriously, "Just like my paper "The Theory of Life" published in "Cell" not long ago "Light", the core of the paper is that the monkey's epidermal cells are reborn under the irradiation of light of a specific wavelength. This paper involves physics, chemistry, biology, and of course, mathematics is definitely indispensable."
There was applause from the audience.
After Ning Changsheng waited for the applause to subside, he continued: "In my opinion, you must study biology, chemistry and physics; to study chemistry, you must study physics... Of course, what I am talking about is for those who want to engage in basic research. If It’s just an application level, just learn the relevant professional knowledge, after all, you don’t have to delve into the mechanism behind the phenomenon.”
Applause erupted again in the lecture hall.
Su Zhe agrees with Professor Ning Changshengning's point of view. In his opinion, biology is the most complex, followed by chemistry, and finally physics.
It is very, very difficult to really learn chemistry and biology well.
"Take the paper "Light of Life" as an example. We conducted ten sets of experiments. In nine sets of experiments, the monkey's epidermal cells were reborn. After subsequent data analysis and guessing, the monkey's epidermal cells were exposed to light of a specific wavelength. After irradiation, the nucleus in the cell is activated. To be precise, the chromosomes in the nucleus are activated... Unfortunately, many of them are conjectures and have not been confirmed by experiments." Ning Changsheng said with a smile, "What we are analyzing At that time, it involves not only biology, but also chemistry and physics... By the way, if the one sitting here confirms the theoretical conjecture in the paper with experiments, then we will stand on the receiving end of the Nobel Prize together. The podium.”
As soon as Ning Changsheng finished speaking, the audience immediately became lively.
"No! It's so cool to win the Nobel Prize!"
"Brother! You are immortal! Do you think you can win the Nobel Prize?"
"I want to study this paper carefully. If it is confirmed by me, then..."
…
"Brother Sanduo! I plan to study for a Ph.D. with Professor Changsheng and win the Nobel Prize!" Mao Zhenguo said excitedly.
"Xiao Mao! You are thinking too much. Your current level is too low. I have read the paper carefully. If I want to confirm it, the first thing to improve is the detection accuracy of the optical detection instrument, and then the purity of the specific light. To achieve this, we need optical lenses with higher precision, which..." Qian Sanduo began to look disgusted, and as he spoke, he looked at Su Zhe in surprise.
Optical lenses with higher precision are what Su Zhe and the others are doing now.
If Su Zhe's new technology is successful, then...
