I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 406 Interesting Soul

Shen Qi sent an email to Professor Haldane, thanking Professor Haldane for his concern and love, and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with the Department of Physics of Princeton to conduct in-depth discussions on condensed matter physics related topics.

Professor Haldane quickly replied to the email, welcoming Shen Qi to return to Princeton for coffee when he is free.

Soon after, the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) reprinted two condensed matter physics articles by Shen Qi's team and Haldane's team in its official journal "International Physics", and made professional comments on the two articles. Let's agree with the innovative theoretical principles of the two teams.

There are many international physics academic organizations, and ICTP is the most authoritative one. Authoritative organizations have expressed their attitudes, and the voices of the physics community at home and abroad are gradually converging. One is the Nobel Prize winner, the other is the Philippine Prize winner, the boss Guys can't be wrong, just follow in the footsteps of the big guys.

The Philippine award leader has been active in the physics world recently. Shen Qi was invited to participate in the academic seminar organized by the Chinese Physical Society, and elaborated on "The Disorder-Order Phase Transition Rules and Basic Equations of a Class of Compounds", which received wide acclaim.

Shen Qi concluded at the end of the report: "As far as the current staged results are concerned, Yanda University has made a breakthrough in the field of phase transition mechanism of a class of oxides, and Princeton is looking for a breakthrough in another way, that is, the field of amorphous alloys. , and succeeded.”

"Yendian University and Princeton University have reached a high degree of agreement on the direction of follow-up research. We will give full play to our respective advantages and strengths, complement each other, and strive to fill some theoretical gaps in condensed matter physics as soon as possible, or correct unresolved controversies."

"This is a long-term, arduous and complicated task. Colleagues in the physics community are welcome to give us more valuable opinions, and I also thank the country for its support and trust."

After the meeting, the leaders of the relevant national departments in charge of science and technology approached Shen Qi and suggested that Shen Qi increase the scientific research funds of the 973 project that had already been established.

Shen Qi: "Leader, I didn't say that I want to increase the money."

The leader said: "Professor Shen, I was also present at your academic report yesterday. You are right. The 973 project you are in charge of is a long-term, arduous and complicated job. We have done research and also After sorting out the previous projects, 500 million scientific research funds can support basic research, but if you want to fill many theoretical gaps in condensed matter physics, 500 million is far from enough."

The competent department wanted to forcibly increase the funds, and Shen Qi was under a lot of pressure.

But there is no way. As a well-known professor and a scientific researcher with countless honors, Shen Qi must take responsibility. He personally drafted the application report for the additional scientific research funding of the 973 project, and hoped that an additional 1000 million yuan would be used for the smooth progress of the entire project. advance.

The 1000 million scientific research funding was approved quickly, and the upper management had already prepared the funding, waiting for Shen Qi to write the application report.

No matter how good a scientist is, he has to rely on his achievements. Shen Qi has solved problems that others could not solve in the field of condensed matter physics, and made some achievements recognized by the international physics community.

In any field, if there is performance, there will be follow-up investment. Shen Qi used part of the additional funds to purchase two new physics experiment equipment.

With the new equipment in place, the Physics Laboratory of Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center can perform basic condensed matter physics experiments. Sometimes it needs to do big work. Yanda Institute of Physics and Technology provides the high-end equipment needed for big work.

Since the establishment of the Shen Qi Mathematics Research Center, Shen Qi’s energy has been almost entirely devoted to his 973 condensed matter physics project. He doesn’t take much care of the field of mathematics, and he doesn’t need to take care of mathematics too closely. The output of mathematical results often depends on inspiration , unlike physical projects that require a large amount of experimental data support.

After the beginning of spring, Yanda ushered in the registration for the annual "5+2 Half Marathon Relay around Weiming Lake".

This event is organized by the YSU Running Association, and all departments and functional departments will send personnel to participate.

Shen Qi attached great importance to this year's "Round Weiming Lake 5+2 Half Marathon Relay", and he issued an order that all members of our center will participate in this relay.

The rule of the "5+2 Half Marathon Relay Race around Weiming Lake" is that there are seven people in each team, 5 men and 2 women. Each team member runs three laps around Weiming Lake, that is, three kilometers, and then passes the baton to the next person. Teammates, seven team members completed a total of 21 kilometers of half-marathon.

The current staffing of Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center is one director, seven mathematics researchers, one physics researcher, one physics doctoral candidate, and four female employees in the general affairs office.

Exactly 14 people, ten men and four women, can form two participating teams.

"I have already signed up for the Running Association. Our center has two half-marathon relay teams. This event is a major event for our center this year. We want to announce to Yan University that we not only have smart brains and interesting souls, but also Have a strong body." Shen Qi mobilized with high fighting spirit.

Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center is an isolated existence in the minds of most teachers and students. They study profound and difficult theories. There is a brilliant director living in the center, who locks up several beauties and a bunch of Bald Frankenstein.

Shen Qi was heartbroken: "It's all rumors, rumors, our center is not like this at all! So to take advantage of the opportunity of this half-marathon relay race, we must show the center's youthful sunshine and healthy and lively attitude."

According to Shen Qi's investigation, the overall combat effectiveness of the center must be inferior to that of young students.

The goal Shen Qi set was that the main team of the center would be among the top five among the teaching staff.

Shen Qi is quite capable of running. He has won the Yanda long-distance running championship. He is confident that he will not lose to young students in the three kilometers he is responsible for.

Xiao Junlong has a short face and an ugly face. He claims to be from a rural area, where they live in a poor county. When he was admitted to Yanda University and had no money to buy a bus ticket, he ran all the way to the capital.

This awesome bragging is too exaggerated, of course Shen Qi doesn't believe it, he personally tested Xiao Junlong's long-distance running ability, Xiao Junlong, you run me 5 laps around Weiming Lake, which is almost 5 kilometers.

After 5 laps, Xiao Junlong ran to 19 minutes and 59 seconds, entering the 20-minute mark.

"You can do it, Dr. Xiao. You are probably the best doctor in mathematics at Yanda University. You have a smart brain, an interesting soul, and a strong body. I'm talking about a man like you." Shen Qi's confidence was boosted, Xiao Junlong was a little Specialty, worthy of recognition.

It is not bad for ordinary runners to run for less than 20 minutes. Xiao Junlong panted and said: "I haven't practiced much recently. Isn't there a week to start the race? I will practice again and try to recover the level of 5 minutes for 18 kilometers. We rural people Actually, I’m not lying to you, Director Shen, I really came to Yanda to sign up, and I was on the news, you can search for posts from ten years ago.”

"Okay, trust you."

It is not surprising that Yan University has so many talents.Shen Qi arranged for Xiao Junlong to run for the first bat of Team 1 of the center, allowing Xiao Junlong to practice for a week to recover to his peak state.

The first team in the center is the main team, and the other strong player is Yang Dingtian. You can see that he lives in the laboratory every day, and his endurance is really good.

Doing experiments is also physical work. Yang Dingtian's stamina is probably developed in this way. He is very thin and has a weird running posture.

Sang Tian is the main female member of Team 1 of the center. She has written web articles for seven or eight years, and has been on the street for seven or eight years, with amazing perseverance.

Cui Xiaoyi's stamina is mediocre, but she runs very dynamic. She is another female member of the 1st team of the center.

The just-joined Ph.D. in Physics from Wuhan University is surnamed Sha. He grew up by the East Lake and is very good at water. He was selected for the swimming team of Wuhan University when he was an undergraduate.

Dr. Sha asked: "I don't have any problem swimming three kilometers, but running three kilometers is not enough. Director Shen, can I swim three laps around Weiming Lake?"

"Your idea is very bold and quite creative. It's a pity that the running association does not allow amphibious operations." Shen Qi found another interesting soul. They have a lot of talents in the center, and they are all very humorous. They are definitely not a group of people as the outside world thinks. Bald, boring Frankenstein.

"How about this, Dr. Sha, you also join the first team of the center. I believe that those who can swim three kilometers, it is OK to insist on running three kilometers. Swimming three kilometers is more tiring than running three kilometers."

Shen Qi must be the main force of the center 1 team, and the final member of the center 1 team is Zhou Yu'an.

Shen Qi knew Zhou Yu'an's long-distance running level well, it was weak, but slightly better than the rest of the staff.

So all seven members of Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center Half-Marathon Relay Team 1 were identified, and the remaining seven employees formed Team 2.

Team 2 is tasked with completing the game, there is no score requirement.

In the next week, the seven members of Team 1 of the center got off work at [-] o'clock every day, and ran around Weiming Lake to find their state and practice their physical fitness.

Seven interesting souls formed an interesting relay team. Shen Qi and the others were gearing up, waiting for the gunshot of the relay.
