After his first paper caused a sensation in the industry, Xiang Nan was not complacent.
In the past half month, he has written two more papers, namely "Motion Resonance of Three-Body Asteroids and Planets" and "Collision with Meteoroids is One of the Possible Mechanisms of Comet Nucleus Splitting".
Both papers were posted to preprint servers and attracted a pretty good response.
For one thing, the papers Xiang Nan selected were of extremely high quality, and they were all papers that had caused a sensation in the industry. They were not the kind of watery papers written just to get points.
Secondly, Xiang Nan’s paper output is also very high, almost one per week. However, none of the well-known experts and scholars in the industry have such high output.
As the saying goes, money overwhelms slaves and servants, while art overwhelms pedestrians. An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action. Xiang Nan's papers are so productive and of such high quality that they will naturally win praise from the industry.
For a time, the name "fang yi fan" gradually became famous in the academic world. People are becoming more and more curious about his identity and origins.
Because before this, there was no scholar named "fang yi fan" in the academic world.
People can't search for his master's thesis, nor his doctoral thesis, and they can't even figure out which school he went to or which teacher he studied under.
He wrote all his papers by himself and never collaborated with anyone. The data used were all public data, and there was no exclusive data from any laboratory or observatory.
Taken together, these signs point to an unbelievable but unbelievable fact, that is, this "fang yi fan" is probably a self-taught independent scholar.
…
Although this is very rare in the academic world, it is not without precedent.
Famous physicists, Faraday, Joule, Franklin; great inventor Edison; mathematicians Hua Luogeng, Wallis, George Boole; biologist Leeuwin Hooke and so on.
However, most of them were from the last century, or even the last century, when science and technology were still very backward, scientific research methods were still primitive, and science and education were still very poor.
However, with the development of the times, science and technology have advanced rapidly, research and development costs have increased rapidly, scientific research methods have changed with each passing day, and science and technology education has gradually become popular.
Under these circumstances, self-taught independent scholars are few and far between. Even if there were, their scientific research results would be difficult to compare with those of scholars with large teams, high investment, and cutting-edge equipment.
But having said that? Although human beings have begun to study the universe in which they live since the day they were born. But until now, people's understanding of it has not increased much.
Even the moon in front of us is far from being fully understood by humans.
Therefore, it is quite possible to have a self-taught independent scholar in the field of astronomy.
In view of this? Many organizations began to look for this "fang yi fan".
He is self-taught and does his own research, and has achieved so many results. If he is equipped with cutting-edge equipment and high-end talents to assist him, then his research will not be as good as the sky!
In an instant, the email address Xiang Nan used to publish the article received a large number of emails.
Most of these emails are from universities, cutting-edge scientific research institutions, and top scholars in the industry. Some invite Xiang Nan to be a visiting scholar, some invite Xiang Nan to join the team, and some invite him to collaborate on research...
Xiang Nan rejected these emails one by one. The reason was that he was still young and was only eighteen years old. He had to take the college entrance examination next year. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. Therefore, he had no time to cooperate with them for the time being.
…
The senders were stunned when they saw this reply.
Originally they thought that fang yi fan would be a scholar who lived in seclusion and studied astronomy all his life.
But I didn't expect that he was so young? Only eighteen years old, and he didn't even go to college. This is truly genius, and a genius among geniuses.
If such a talented and gifted young man could be poached, he would be a priceless treasure.
In "The Big Bang Theory", in order to keep the North Korean prodigy Dennis Kim, the California Institute of Technology was even willing to spend one-fifth of its scientific research funds to help him smuggle his grandfather to the United States.
It can be seen how hungry these universities and top scientific research institutions are for cutting-edge talents.
Xiang Nan's performance is not inferior to that of Dennis King, which naturally makes these universities and institutions anxious.
Harvard University sent him an email, saying that if he was willing, Harvard was willing to let him in without taking the exam and provide him with a full scholarship.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also sent him an email, claiming that if he was willing to come, not only would he be able to enter without taking the exam and provide a full scholarship, but he would also be able to arrange air tickets and dormitories.
The University of Pennsylvania also sent an email, sincerely inviting Xiang Nan to study at the school. Not only would he be admitted without examination, he would receive a full scholarship, but top scholars would also be arranged to be his mentors.
All in all, the conditions are better than the other.
However, although their conditions are very good, they are just showing their cuteness to a blind man. Xiang Nan did not accept any invitation from any university.
The reason is simple. His mission is to pursue his dream with Qiao Yingzi.
Qiao Yingzi's dream is to attend Jinling University and join the National Space Administration after graduation.
Once he went abroad, he was separated from Qiao Yingzi.
So going abroad is impossible.
Xiang Nan did not reply to the email again, which made many universities very anxious. He was worried that his offer was too low and made him choose another school.
Therefore, they quickly increased their investment, even willing to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in scientific research funding, and were willing to help him obtain a visa, green card, etc.
It's just that no matter how many emails they send, Xiang Nan never replies after reading them.
And his only external communication tool is this email address. There are no other phone numbers, mobile numbers, Facebook, or Twitter, which makes them a little bit blind.
For a time, the search for "fang yi fan" was launched with great vigor.
…
Xiang Nan was not clear about this action.
His main focus now is, firstly, on writing essays to get points, and secondly, on getting along with Qiao Yingzi.
Now that they have moved to Shuxiang Yayuan, he and Qiao Yingzi can go to and from school together.
Although the journey is only a few minutes, for them, one extra second is good.
In addition, when they get up early, they can run and exercise together in the yard.
With each other as company, I feel particularly energetic when running and doing exercises.
After the exercise, Xiang Nan also helped Qiao Yingzi buy her favorite fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, and meat buns.
Because these foods are high in oil and sugar, Song Qian has never allowed her daughter to eat them.
The result is that the more strict she is, the more Qiao Yingzi will crave this mouthful. It’s just that she doesn’t dare to disobey her mother, and no matter how greedy she is, she doesn’t dare to buy it herself.
Xiang Nan was naturally not afraid of this, and took the initiative to buy it every time, making Qiao Yingzi's mouth full of oil and happy from ear to ear.
But as a result, she eats less at home and is often full after just one bowl of porridge.
Song Qian thought she had a bad appetite, so she bought several medicine books and prepared to treat her.
