1991 Starting from the core

Su Yuanshan was shocked when he heard Xi Xiaoding say "Tear out the Nobel".

Of course he knew that this would definitely win the Nobel Prize - even if he didn't do the Hall experiment, he would at most have to wait a little longer. After all, this is the first time humans have seen a two-dimensional material at room temperature, and it also has such excellent light, thermal, and electrical properties.

But Xi Xiaoding actually said that he might win the Nobel Prize after just reading his paper... This guy's scientific intuition is too strong, right?

"Although I am not engaged in physics, I have been exposed to it before, and semiconductors and physics are inseparable." Xi Xiaoding calmed down a little and looked at Su Yuanshan with a complicated expression.

"You have to know that there have been a lot of calls for the Nobel Prize for fullerene and carbon nanotubes recently - as long as these two win the Nobel Prize, then your graphene will definitely not be able to escape!"

"And unlike carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, its laboratory preparation method is very simple - simple! This means that other laboratories can easily replicate it and then develop its properties and use it."

Xi Xiaoding finished speaking in one breath, and his eyes became a little envious.

"Well, Cavendish Laboratory has also been spun off."

"how do you know?"

"Uh... I'm the corresponding author."

"Damn! You're not a human being." Xi Xiaoding remembered his shock when he found out that only Su Yuanshan signed the entire paper at the back: "Then what? What are your plans next? This is a new field..."

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call."

Su Yuanshan grabbed the phone and checked that the number belonged to the capital. After a moment of hesitation, he connected.

On the phone, a voice said excitedly: "Classmate Su Yuanshan? I'm Xu Zhiwen."

"Hello, Professor Xu."

Xu Zhiwen is the dean of the Department of Physics at P University. Su Yuanshan visited and consulted him the last time he went to P University.

Xu Zhiwen is the same as Professor Su Xinghe in terms of age. Although he has been overseas, he only went there as an exchange scholar. All I can say is... I went out and saw the world.

But now, he represents the highest level in the field of domestic physics.

"I won't talk nonsense. How about you come to P University?"

"Uh..." Su Yuanshan was stunned upon hearing this.

When he visited Xu Zhiwen, he went as a student. But after all, he was famous, so Xu Zhiwen did not show off, and Xu Zhiwen was also surprised that Su Yuanshan could master the field of applied physics so deeply through "self-study". Therefore, the communication between the two was very pleasant and they had a good impression of each other.

But no matter how good it was...Su Yuanshan didn't expect that Xu Zhiwen would directly let him go to P University.

Why go to P University? As his graduate student?

You can't directly give Su Yuanshan the title of associate professor...

This is against the rules!

"Um... Director Xu, I'm afraid I can't leave." Su Yuanshan said with an apologetic smile, "And my laboratory is over here..."

"Why!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Zhiwen sighed, but there was no hint of disappointment.

After all, Su Yuanshan's identity is too special.

Of course the country hopes for such a genius to appear - anyone with a little bit of scientific conscience hopes for a true genius to appear.

Now it seems that Su Yuanshan is.

However, as the country is gradually promoting the formalization of academic and scientific research, it is unlikely that an "exception" can directly give Su Yuanshan an associate professor or even a professor as before.

After all, there is no rule without rules. It is impossible for a country to place its hopes for the scientific future of the entire country on a certain person - even if that person is a true genius.

After pausing for a few seconds, Xu Zhiwen sighed: "You know why I contacted you, right?"

Su Yuanshan said modestly: "Well, that paper... I should have asked Professor Xu to give me some advice. I was reckless."

"Don't do this. Although I'm jealous, I still have a psychological barrier to this kind of bullying." Xu Zhiwen laughed on the phone.

Su Yuanshan just smiled.

Xu Zhiwen now says he won’t do it. The main reason is that China has only recently realized the importance of journals and has not yet formed the necessary system for promotion. Otherwise, it would be strange if he doesn’t want to do it...

"In this way, can you take some time and let's take a look and discuss the future of graphene? Frankly speaking, those of us who have read the paper believe that this material should have wide applications in the future. Even our country's progress in materials It relies on it to achieve cornering overtaking in the field.”

"Well, good! Duty is due."

Just as he hung up the phone, Su Yuanshan's cell phone rang again.

This time it’s from the head of the Department of Applied Physics of the Department of Electrical Engineering...

…

"It's just a nature post! How come it's like a New Year greeting?"

Su Yuanshan hung up the phone again, then directly took off the battery, smiled bitterly at Xi Xiaoding and said: "Brother, when you first issued TACL, were there so many harassments?"

TACL is one of the top journals in the computer field.

"No." Xi Xiaoding looked at him with a smile: "Only a few friends congratulated him in person and then had a drink."

"Hey...this is a wealthy family."

"Shit..." Xi Xiaoding glared at Su Yuanshan: "You are Nature! How about a century-old store... And you did it alone! And there is no one in China who has published on Nature."

"……have it?"

"Not in the past ten years. If we go back to the time when Nature was first published, your article was also among the top ten published in China! Who do you think the entire physics community is looking for if they are not looking for you?"

Su Yuanshan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was true.

"Xiaoshan, you must seize the opportunity this time, continue the experiment, and delve deeper into the field." Xi Xiaoding took a sip of tea, stared at Su Yuanshan and said seriously: "On a small scale, this is a great opportunity for you... On a bigger scale, it’s an opportunity for Yuanxin, and even bigger... it’s even an opportunity for the country.”

Su Yuanshan breathed out softly.

He knew what Xi Xiaoding was talking about - since Mr. Xi could see the importance of graphene, he was very likely to be the first one in China to win the Nobel Prize.

In other words, the one who, as a domestic citizen, won the most valuable Nobel Prize in Physics.

This is a good thing for ourselves, Yuanxin, and the entire country.

"And, from now on, as long as you continue to work hard on graphene and publish more influential papers, then... our position in the scientific research community will also rise."

"Ok, I know."

"No, you don't necessarily know...this is what I think."

Xi Xiaoding stared at Su Yuanshan and said softly: "I want to promote the establishment of a postdoctoral station in Yuanxin."

"Huh? Postdoctoral station?"

Xi Xiaoding nodded: "Yes, establish a postdoctoral station. Only in this way can you maximize the benefits of your thesis."
