At two o'clock in the afternoon, ten people gathered in the small square in front of the school administration building.
Principal Zheng took the leaders of the school propaganda department and logistics, and Xu Dajiang took the professor representatives Professor Zhu and Li Jiangao. Su Mucheng was definitely going. Chen Yiwen also volunteered to pick up the luggage, plus Director Zhuo and Qiao from the admissions office. There are exactly ten people in Ze.
Considering that there would be two more people on the return trip, the school directly arranged for two large seven-seater Hongqi SUVs.
Xu Dajiang also put some thought into arranging seats.
Qiao Ze, Su Mucheng and Li Jiangao must ride in the same car together, so Xu Dajiang arranged for Zheng Luhua and Director Hong from the Propaganda Department to be in the first car, while the others took the other car.
After all, it takes at least an hour to get from school to the high-speed rail station without traffic jams. In this hour, I can more or less exchange feelings with Qiao Ze.
This actually made Xu Dajiang a little uneasy.
Although he didn't have much contact with Qiao Ze, and he knew that the kid actually told very little, but as long as he spoke, he would probably offend someone.
This is why he must put Li Jiangao in the first car.
If Qiao Ze makes the school leaders so angry that they cannot stand up, he will not be the only one who can smooth things over.
As expected by Xu Dajiang, when the driver started the car smoothly, Zheng Luhua, who was sitting in the back seat, put down his arrogance and took the initiative to chat with Qiao Ze in a pleasant manner.
"Qiao Ze, I haven't had time to congratulate you in person for your two papers in the top journals of mathematics. By the way, Dean Xu hasn't told you yet, has he? According to the school's regulations, if a professor working in the school publishes papers in top journals, If so, there will be a cash reward of 300,000 yuan. According to the school's research decision, your paper will also be rewarded according to this policy. The bonus should be transferred to your card this month. At that time, you and Professor Li can allocate the money on your own. A bonus."
This is a proper show of goodwill.
In fact, this is Zheng Luhua's mission today.
Xu Dajiang also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Asking for rewards should not make children resist.
But before he could echo the last sentence, he saw Qiao Ze retracting his gaze towards the outside of the car. He glanced at him in confusion, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. As expected, when Qiao Ze spoke, it was not a thank you, but a question. : “Isn’t the school out of money?”
"Ah..." Zheng Luhua, who had never dealt with Qiao Ze before, was speechless. This response was indeed something he did not expect.
Xu Dajiang immediately turned his head and glanced at Li Jiangao, who was sitting behind Qiao Ze.
Li Jiangao quickly explained: "Qiao Ze, this is different. You can understand this reward as your school's signature on your papers, so that when the school's influence is ranked in the future, these top papers can add points to the school. Therefore, additional rewards are given. This money does not belong to the same plate as scientific research funds."
"Oh." Qiao Ze nodded, expressing understanding.
Su Mucheng, who was sitting next to Qiao Ze, blinked and said, "That means that after our project is over and we publish 6 papers, we will get a reward of 1.8 million from the school. After we complete the entire project, excluding yesterday's red envelope reward , the current expenditure is about 1.57 million. This..."
Qiao Ze glanced sideways at Su Mucheng and reminded seriously: "What Uncle Li just meant is that school money is different from money."
"Oh!" Su Mucheng stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Two "ohs" made the car suddenly quiet.
The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing and shocking...
Xu Dajiang turned to look at Li Jiangao, six papers? What the hell? Didn't you hear what this guy said?
Zheng Luhua looked dazed.
Didn’t we agree that we would only publish two top issues?
Why did it change to six chapters again?
Well, none of that matters.
The important thing is that if the six top articles are really published and the school allocates the 1.8 million reward, it will really be a mockery.
Zheng Luhua felt that Lao Chen might be so angry that he vomited blood.
Because when the facts were laid out so clearly, he already felt physiologically uncomfortable.
God's money is different from money.
The pressure instantly focused on Li Jiangao.
Although he also feels that the development of this matter is quite outrageous.
Li Jiangao could even feel that Su Mucheng said those words on purpose. Is this to express the dissatisfaction that the school did not support Qiao Ze before?
Well, no matter what Su Mucheng is doing, he can only smooth things over.
"Ahem, well, I reported to Dean Xu before that Qiao Ze's paper writing efficiency is relatively high. And this project is actually very big. The paper on the principles of the framework was written before. Next, because of the framework There are many modules embedded in it. Each module can function independently and has some innovative points after integration, so I wrote several other articles separately. In other words, there is only one foundational article, and the others are based on this. Build a supporting thesis.”
When Li Jiangao said these words, he felt that sweat was about to break out on his forehead.
Qiao Ze responded casually: "If we follow the paper standards announced by the college last year, we can write seven or eight more papers, but I don't think it is necessary. Without innovative mathematical tools, no matter how beautiful the proof process is, it is just the icing on the cake. By the way. , I saw that the college announced on its official website last year that most of the papers were concentrated in ScI District 2, does the school also have bonuses for such papers?"
No one answered, so Li Jiangao could only answer bravely: "Yes, ScI Area 2 generally has cash rewards ranging from 100,000 to 150,000, depending on the impact factor of the journal."
Qiao Ze said: "Oh, then you can give these propositions to Tan Jingrong when you go back. By writing these papers, he can clarify the use of those mathematical tools faster, and he can also earn bonuses, which is good."
"Yes." Li Jiangao replied with a complicated expression, and then glanced at Zheng Luhua beside him.
Fortunately, Principal Zheng just turned his face sideways and looked like he was listening attentively.
At least he doesn't seem to have a temper.
Xu Dajiang, on the other hand, couldn't help but glare at Li Jiangao.
Tell me earlier!
If he had been told that Qiao Ze was a thesis bulldozer, why would he bother to do so many things?
Not only did he owe a favor for no reason, but he also caused a lot of trouble.
At that time, he should have directly added a dozen PhDs to Qiao Ze's project team, and everyone would have just criticized the paper like crazy.
There are more than a dozen ScI area 1 articles and dozens of ScI area 2 articles published every year. Several institutes have everything!
When the inspection team came to inspect, he could look directly at people through his nose.
Now we can only look forward to Qiao Ze starting his next project as soon as possible.
If the next project is still this kind of cutting-edge applied research, which is easy to produce results and can produce papers in batches, Xu Dajiang thinks that he can consider putting all the PhD students in the Institute of Mathematics into the gold-plated project. So it is best not to study mathematics and physics...
That would be a real loss.
Well, that’s all for later.
After accepting this fact in his heart, Xu Dajiang sighed with emotion: "Hey, Jiangao, do you think Qiao Ze looks like Gauss? If I remember correctly, Gauss independently derived Newton's binomial at the age of eleven, and at the age of fifteen He discovered the prime number theorem, which was even more remarkable at the age of nineteen. He solved the world's difficult problem of the division rate of a circle, proved the law of quadratic reciprocity, and discovered the law of quartic reciprocity. In the same year, he also proved that every positive integer can be expressed as no more than three The sum of trigonometric numbers yields the digit result of the solution to the finite field coefficient equation..."
Having said this, Xu Dajiang paused, turned to look at Zheng Luhua, and said with a smile: "Hey... If there was the concept of ScI in that era, Gauss should have been able to publish more than a dozen papers in the first area when he was nineteen years old. Bar?"
"Yes, yes, Qiao Ze, your future achievements are limitless. Don't focus on the past, you should look forward! Haha..." Zheng Luhua agreed with a dry smile.
Out of politeness, Qiao Ze retracted his gaze from the window and glanced sideways. The two people who had just spoken nodded and said, "Oh, it just so happened that I was planning to start a new subject."
"Ah?" Xu Dajiang asked quickly: "About what direction?"
"The possible correlation between the o group gauge field and the N-dimensional Riemann space R^N is a possible solution to the existence of non-Abelian gauge fields." Qiao Ze said.
Xu Dajiang was stunned for a moment, and his mood began to feel low. As expected, this child's second project had nothing to do with applied mathematics, which could bring fame and fortune to everyone.
This is uncharted territory explored by pure theoretical mathematics that is as hard as it gets.
It also involves Xu Dajiang’s previous study and research direction—partial differential equations.
Or a nonlinear partial differential equation.
How difficult is this thing?
Basically, without giving a more specific physical background, it is extremely difficult to even judge whether such equations have solutions, let alone solving equations.
For example, in the world-famous Millennium Mathematics Problem, two questions are related to this type of equation, namely the NS equation that describes fluid motion and the Yang-Myers equation that is strongly related to quantum physics.
This is also the reason why Xu Dajiang decisively chose to give up academics and take up an administrative position after he was forty-five years old.
Although he was still supervising PhD students and graduate students, after becoming the dean, he basically did not do any research except occasionally following up on the PhD results of his subordinates. Even the graduate students are taken care of by his doctoral students.
The key is that even if it is extremely difficult to study this thing in depth, it is still difficult to achieve good enough results.
Unless it advances some problems that no one has solved for hundreds of years, no one will remember it at all.
Just like Luis Caffarelli, who just won the Abel Prize this year.
Except for the theoretical mathematics and physics circles who know that this old professor is a master of research on pdE, the wider community will only have question marks on their faces when they hear this name. Who is this old man? What are the achievements?
So when I heard that the new topic Qiao Ze was planning turned out to be in this direction, it would be a lie not to be disappointed. This is very different from the previously studied project of using group theory to build a self-supervised intelligent framework, which can make a lot of money!
Can't it be that Qiao Ze is going to tackle the problem in this direction in the next few years?
Fortunately, Zheng Luhua didn't think too much. Almost as soon as Qiao Ze finished speaking, he promised: "Okay, no problem. Qiao Ze, you go back and write an application. If you can't, let Jiangao write it for you. Jiangao, After the application is written, you can hand it over directly to me and I will handle it. No matter what, we cannot let our children raise money for research on their own, right?"
Zheng Luhua's statement also made Xu Dajiang come to his senses and asked subconsciously: "Wait a minute, Qiao Ze, didn't you say before that you only had in-depth research on non-commutative geometry and group theory? You also taught yourself some specialties in high school. Of differential equations?”
Qiao Ze frowned. He was very sure that he never said that he only researched in a certain direction.
Well, Uncle Xu was not only very idle, but also seemed to have a bad memory. He could only explain patiently: "I have taught myself all the mathematical knowledge systems that are helpful for understanding physics."
"Ah..." Xu Dajiang looked at Li Jiangao in surprise, only to find that Li Jiangao was in a daze.
Yes, Professor Li was very panicked at this time. He thought of the box of papers still piled in the research group.
As soon as Qiao Ze started talking about the project he wanted to research, Li Jiangao realized that this kid was serious about starting to work on the Yang-Myers equation, and he was about to officially start solving the legendary problem that has troubled countless mathematicians and quantum physicists. The mass gap problem for physicists.
And he, Li Jiangao, Qiao Ze's nominal mentor, has not yet completed the initial knowledge accumulation work.
Shame!
For a moment, he was too lazy to pay attention to the way Xu Dajiang looked at him. He quickly took out his mobile phone, found Tan Jingrong, and sent a message: "I started reading the hundred papers Qiao Ze prepared for me today, and compiled the papers based on their abstracts. Check out the key points in the proof process, as soon as possible!”
After the news was sent out, I finally felt a little more at ease.
I used to want to relax during this summer vacation and find time to find a girlfriend or something, but now it seems I might as well forget it.
He doesn't deserve it.
…
After this little incident in the car, it became quiet.
It seemed that all of a sudden no one wanted to talk.
Including Su Mucheng.
Thinking of meeting Qiao Ze's mother later, the girl was a little nervous and didn't know what to say, so she arrived at the high-speed rail station quietly.
While waiting, Li Jiangao was dragged into gossiping by Zhuo Wenyou.
Xu Dajiang chatted with Zheng Luhua in a low voice.
Everyone became serious until the train that Yu Chenggong sent the message to arrived at the station.
Five minutes later, when he saw Yu Chenggong exiting the station carrying large and small bags, Zhuo Wenyou took the lead in raising his hand and greeted: "Teacher Yu, this way..."
"Hi, Director Zhuo, Sister Lu, here I would like to introduce to you...uh...Principal Zheng? Dean Xu? You are all here..."
Yu Chenggong was still dazed by the huge battle on the opposite side, but Su Mucheng had already sensitively noticed that the middle-aged woman next to Yu Chenggong was Qiao Ze's mother, and immediately plucked up the courage to pull Qiao Ze forward decisively.
"Mom." Qiao Ze greeted as usual.
"Hey, Xiao Ze, let mom take a look. Well, Teacher Yu was right. She has indeed gained some weight. Eh... this is..." After the joy, Lu Xiuxiu noticed that there was a slim figure standing next to her son. The particularly handsome little girl was in a daze for a moment.
"Hello, Aunt Lu, I am Qiao Ze's girlfriend. My name is Su Mucheng. Qiao Ze must not have mentioned me to you yet, right?"
"Ah? Girlfriend? This... Look, Xiao Su, Qiao Ze has a dull temper. He doesn't like to tell me about his affairs, and I haven't heard him mention it. Auntie came in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts. …”
Lu Xiuxiu, who was surprised for a moment, subconsciously took Su Mucheng's hand.
Really, she originally thought that with Qiao Ze's boring temperament, no girl would really fall in love with her son in this life. Who would have thought that it had only been more than a month since his arrival, and he would be so dull that he even had a girlfriend? For such a smart girl, could it be that Qiao Ze really became enlightened under the guidance of Professor Li?
At this moment, Lu Xiuxiu seemed to be in a dream. She didn't want to let go of Su Mucheng's hand, for fear that if she let go, the girl in front of her would suddenly disappear!
"Aunt Lu, there is no need for a gift. You have worked so hard and educated Qiao Ze so well. To me, it is already the best gift in the world!" Su Mucheng, who has always been good at making people happy, thought about it. He spoke without thinking.
This sentence also made Lu Xiuxiu suddenly blush...
Qiao Ze took a step forward, hugged Lu Xiuxiu gently, let go, then turned to look at Yu Chenggong who had just put down his big bag next to him, nodded slightly, and then said in a louder voice than usual: "Yu Chenggong Teacher, thank you."
"Haha, there's nothing to be thankful for. It's all incidental."
Yu Chenggong responded with a smile, but what he didn't expect was that Qiao Ze suddenly said abruptly: "If you encounter anything that needs my help, call me."
To be honest, when Qiao Ze said this, his tone was as plain and straightforward as boiled water, but the volume was controlled just enough that everyone around him could hear it.
Yu Chenggong was stunned for a moment, and then he found that the leaders behind Qiao Ze who were waiting to come forward to communicate with Lu Xiuxiu were all focused on him. This also made him react immediately, and he said with a smile on his face: "Haha, ok, I'll thank you first, Qiao Ze."
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't be polite. This is Qiao Ze's mother. I am the dean of the School of Mathematics at Xilin University of Technology. I can also be regarded as Qiao Ze's teacher. My surname is Xu and my name is Xu Dajiang. Let me introduce it to you. Several leaders, they are all here specifically to welcome you..."
"ah?"
