Chapter 202 The difference between doing scientific research and going to the toilet (4k)

“Qingshan.”

Chen Dayue opened his mouth to explain to Xu Qingshan, but Xu Qingshan raised his hand to stop him.

"It's okay, just listen first."

Xu Qingshan was not in a hurry to enter the meeting room. Instead, he stood in a hidden place at the door with great interest, wanting to hear the opinions of these senior brothers who did not return to him first.

"Besides, it has only been proven that he is talented in computer science, but it is hard to say about mathematics. I don't know what Mr. Chen is thinking. A paper on the history of mathematics can make him help so wholeheartedly."

"He doesn't study with Teacher Tian, ​​so he can't be considered our junior apprentice."

"That's it!"

The more Xu Qingshan listened, the bigger his smile became.

It seems that these Bugui brothers have a lot of opinions about me.

"You all should calm down. I have read his paper on Markov logic networks. It is very detailed. He has a solid foundation in statistical probability and good mathematical thinking."

Suddenly, a voice that sounded thick and steady was heard, interrupting the laughter of others.

"I don't know if he is interested in arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory. If he is, I hope I can have a chance to work with him in the future."

Chen Dayue breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, someone expressed his opinion.

Otherwise, how embarrassed would he be, calling Xu Qingshan from far away to let people talk about him?
But Old Chen was caught in the middle and it wasn't easy for him to deal with the situation. His mind was spinning wildly, thinking about how to comfort Xu Qingshan.

"do not think too much."

Xu Qingshan spoke instead.

“They cannot represent Kyoto University.”

Xu Qingshan shrugged and said relaxedly.

"They don't even plan to come back to Beijing University. Would it be an honor to be their junior apprentice?"

Chen Dayue's face froze.

He suddenly felt that what Xu Qingshan said made sense.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one who said he had read my paper should be Senior Brother Xu Chenyang, and the one who wanted to cooperate with me should be Senior Brother Liu Ruchuan, right?"

Xu Qingshan said firmly.

Chen Dayue was stunned for a moment, nodded mechanically, and asked in confusion.

"Have you seen them? Or seen their videos somewhere?"

Chen Dayue could tell who had just spoken, but how did Xu Qingshan know?

"Because you have just introduced it, teacher."

Xu Qingshan replied calmly.

"Attitude determines perspective, and the butt determines the head. How they view me determines how they feel about Beijing University."

"Senior Brother Xu Chenyang is still hesitating whether to return to China. He is the most academically capable, so he must be fair to me, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with him."

"As for Senior Brother Ruochuan, I think the probability of him returning to China is greater than Senior Brother Chenyang. He travels everywhere, obviously aiming to learn about the scientific research system and the integration of teaching and research. Otherwise, if he stays in one place for half a year, is it possible that he can really produce any core results?"

Xu Qingshan analyzed softly.

"His research area is p-adic Hodge theory, which is the core branch of arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory. It played a key role in major events such as Mr. Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem and Mr. Faltings' proof of Mordel's conjecture."

"If Senior Brother Ruochuan wants to go in the direction of algebraic topology, he needs to calm down and study it."

"If he wasn't going to come back, why would he run around?"

"Let's go in and meet these brothers."

Xu Qingshan smiled wryly, walked forward, knocked on the door and pushed open the door of the meeting room.

"Hey, wait for me!"

Chen Dayue reacted and quickly followed him into the meeting room.

"Shh!"

Although there was no sound, when Xu Qingshan knocked on the door and pushed it, everyone in the conference room shut their mouths in an instant and looked at the young man at the door.

The young man was neither humble nor arrogant.

Under the gaze of so many bigwigs, he still walked into the meeting room very calmly.

Xu Qingshan glanced at everyone in the conference room with a smile on his face.

Based on the introduction and explanation Chen Dayue had just given him, he could roughly recognize who was who.

Wang Shicheng, Tian Gang, Zhang Jiping, Wang Changping, Zong Chuanming and others were sitting on one side, while on the other side was the overseas golden generation headed by Xu Chenyang, Liu Ruochuan and others.

As for the other academicians from the Peking University faction mentioned by Chen Dayue, no one came.

After all, most of them are old. Except for Jiang Baiju, who was invited by Zhang Jincai to go to Longjiang to take a special look at Xu Qingshan because he heard about his specialness, most of the other academicians actually don't take care of the matter.

At the moment, young academicians like Wang Shicheng and Tian Gang are more likely to show up more frequently.

Both of them were born in the 20s and are now in their early fifties, at the prime of their academic and educational careers.

"Hello, everyone."

Xu Qingshan did not find a seat to sit in the conference room, but walked to the whiteboard in the conference room with confidence.

There is no blackboard in the conference room of Yingjie Communication Center, but it is equipped with a whiteboard that requires writing with markers.

After all, there aren't many scenes where a blackboard is needed, so there's no need to make it pink.

There are also many spare whiteboards in the corner of the conference room.

Perhaps many people can't guess what these whiteboards are used for.

That is, when the on-site idea board of some small meetings is written so well, some people may be reluctant to erase it. At this time, just take down the whiteboard and continue the research by yourself.

I can only say that Kyoto University is still too strong.

Everyone was confused about Xu Qingshan's behavior. Chen Dayue followed him in and saw Xu Qingshan standing at the podium. He was terrified.

"Little ancestor, stop making trouble. Let's just come down and chat with the teacher and senior brothers. There's nothing important today, so we don't need you to perform."

Chen Dayue hurriedly grabbed Xu Qingshan's hand, muttering anxiously in a low voice.

"No, Lao Chen, please sit down and give me some trust."

Xu Qingshan's progressive answers made Chen Dayue very helpless.

Fine.

It’s impossible to persuade them to do business, and it’s impossible to pull them out.

The people below are either your leaders or old leaders, or colleagues, or your students.

Chen Dayue felt like he was numb.

Isn't this going to be too embarrassing?

Chen Dayue lowered his head and sat back in his seat. Before anyone could question Xu Qingshan, this guy took the lead and began to introduce himself.

"Dear teachers, two senior brothers, and others."

The faces of the people in the audience changed.

Aren’t Xu Qingshan’s words too targeted?
They also confirmed one thing: when they were discussing Xu Qingshan in there just now, someone was listening outside and only came in after they finished talking.

"I am Xu Qingshan, the junior fellow student from Beijing University who didn't choose the School of Mathematics."

Xu Qingshan chuckled and continued.

"That should be fine."

"I should be the first one in our class to report here. There should be no one younger than me in the entire Beijing University for now."

"But there is nothing wrong with what those big guys said just now. I really can't be considered your junior brother. After all, you all have no plans to come back." Xu Qingshan had a smile on his face, but his words did not leave any fig leaf for anyone.

Wang Shicheng, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but laugh twice. Tian Gang on the side turned his head speechlessly and glared at Chen Dayue. Zhang Jiping's face was full of helplessness and regret. Wang Changping, on the other hand, was thoughtfully admiring his fellow villager on the stage.

But Yun Zhiwei, Zhang Wei and Zhu Xinwen, who had just spoken, did not look very good.

But they couldn't say anything.

Crickets behind others are not scary.

The scary thing is that the cricket man behind the scenes was heard by the owner and was questioned on the spot by the owner.

Although Xu Qingshan did not question them, he said something that made them feel even more guilty.

"Please forgive me, teachers."

Xu Qingshan smiled at the teachers, and this smile was much more friendly.

"I'm young, and I didn't prepare any gifts this time. How about I show you a talent?"

Xu Qingshan didn't let the teachers answer either.

He was obviously using his young age and great potential to regard himself as a junior of Peking University in order to ask these big guys to go easy on him.

And it does.

At this moment, Xu Qingshan really looked like a naughty monkey in the eyes of all the big guys.

It also helped them vent the discomfort they just felt.

In fact, the people who feel the most uncomfortable here are Zhang Jiping and Tian Gang.

Around the millennium, Zhang Jiping spent a lot of effort on creating the golden generation. It was at that time that Zhang Jiping invited Tian Gang back to serve as a part-time instructor. Later, in 01, he was nominated as an academician by Peking University as an exception, and in 03 he was appointed as a full-time professor. In 05, he organized the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research and served as its director, which injected a strong shot of adrenaline into the School of Mathematics of Peking University.

According to the plan of Tian Gang and Zhang Jiping, if not all of Xu Chenyang and his golden generation come back, at least half of them can run the International Mathematics Center affiliated to Beijing University well.

who ever thought.

These little bastards came back to visit their alma mater, but they were so sneaky that they signed the contract in advance, leaving no room for negotiation, and they kept bringing up the domestic and foreign environments.

Only Xu Chenyang and Liu Ruchuan were better off. Xiao Liang did not express any opinion. Apart from them, everyone else was determined to stay abroad.

"you"

Zhang Wei was about to speak.

But he was interrupted loudly by Xu Qingshan.

"I don't have many talents. You've all seen me doing hip-hop at ICML. This isn't a suitable venue, so I might as well just tell a joke."

Xu Qingshan said loudly.

"All ears."

Wang Shicheng has spoken. He has a high status in Peking University. After all, he has an undergraduate and a master's degree from Peking University. After graduation, he has been teaching at Peking University. Except for studying for a doctorate at the University of California, Los Angeles in the United States from 86 to 88, he has spent the next few decades at Peking University. Later, he served as the deputy director of the Institute of Mathematics at Peking University and stepped down last year.

His scientific research achievements may not be so dazzling, but they are definitely not bad, and he deserves the title of academician.

For his research on the topological properties of three-dimensional manifolds, he won the second prize of the National Natural Science Award in 2001. In 2002, he was invited to give a 45-minute report at the World Congress of Mathematicians. In 2005, he was elected as an academician.

If we really talk about the foundation, as far as the country is concerned, he has more say than Tian Gang.

So when he spoke, no one at the scene dared to interrupt and ask Xu Qingshan to come down.

Xu Qingshan smiled and nodded at Wang Shicheng.

He had heard from Chen Dayue that Academician Wang loved traveling and listening to operas, and the jokes he told were somewhat related to opera.

"Then I will show my ugliness."

Xu Qingshan raised his hand, drew a horizontal line on the whiteboard, wrote a few big words, turned around and said.

"You teachers, I don't need to say anything, but fellow students, I want to ask you a question."

“What’s the difference between doing scientific research and going to the toilet?”

When these words were spoken, combined with the words behind Xu Qingshan, everyone present looked surprised.

What on earth is this kid trying to do?
"the difference?"

"These two are totally different things. Isn't that funny?"

Zhu Xinwen spoke out in dissatisfaction.

He actually didn't want to go back to his alma mater at all.

In other words, in his heart, Kyoto University was not really his alma mater; he just studied for his undergraduate degree here.

He has witnessed the advanced level of basic scientific research in developed countries in the United States, and has also witnessed the treatment of scientists in developed countries.

Compared with the treatment in China that is not even worthy of flattering developed countries, Zhu Xinwen has no intention of returning to China at all.

Xu Qingshan looked at him and said with a smile.

"It seems like they are not the same thing, but actually, think about it, senior, are doing scientific research and going to the toilet really that different?"

Xu Qingshan asked and answered his own questions and slowly put forward the common points he thought they had.

"It's all suppressed."

"It's fun to have something in your stomach, but it's painful to hold it in."

“Even if you have something in your stomach, you still need paper.”

"The more papers I have, the more at ease I feel."

“The paper cannot be one that has been used by someone else.”

"It's okay if the paper has been used by someone else, as long as you can't tell."

"If you're lucky, you can borrow paper."

“If you really don’t have any papers, it takes a lot of courage to just walk away.”

"Of course, if you are fearless, you don't need paper even if you have diarrhea."

When we first talked about holding it in, everyone was a little slow to react.

But when Xu Qingshan talked about paper, some people couldn't help laughing.

After all, what we are doing is academic, especially the golden generation who have just really entered the stage of cutting-edge academics.

Although they were indeed brilliant and talented during their student years, it is also called the golden age.

But when they really got involved in cutting-edge scientific research, the initial stage was really quite consistent with what Xu Qingshan said.

On the contrary, people like Wang Shicheng, Tian Gang, and Chen Dayue, who are already full professors with tenure, don't have such deep feelings at all.

after all.

It is impossible for a person to be youthful and feel youthful at the same time.

This group of golden generation of senior students from Beijing University are now in the adolescence of their scientific research career.

"Little Junior Brother, what you said is very good."

Liu Ruochuan said with a smile, and he dared to applaud in front of everyone.

Xu Qingshan looked at Liu Ruchuan with a smile.

To be honest, not to mention Senior Ruochuan's kindness to him, Xu Qingshan also felt that he was pleasing to the eye. He was really handsome and had a very friendly smile.

“It’s really vivid.”

Seeing Liu Ruchuan expressed his opinion, Xu Chenyang pushed his glasses and spoke out.

"He's an interesting guy."

Tian Gang also laughed and shook his head, commenting on Xu Qingshan's cleverness.
