Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 248: Beijing University has really figured out scientific research! (3.5 in 1)

Fortunately, Lao Chen was just confused for a moment.

After he finished his confusion, he paid the fine, got on his scooter, and drove away with Xu Qingshan on it.

"So, what important news do you have that made you come to me so quickly?"

Xu Qingshan asked with some confusion while sitting on the back of the motorcycle.

"Let's go to my house first, and we'll talk when we get there."

Chen Dayue recovered and said with a bright smile.

"Are they going to evaluate me as an academician? Why is it so secretive?"

Xu Qingshan muttered softly.

Chen Dayue's expression fell and he curled his lips.

"What are you thinking, kid? Are you going to be evaluated as an academician? I am not even close to your teacher!"

"Then why is it so secretive?"

"You boy, you really have no interest in life, huh."

The master and the apprentice bickered while riding a small motorcycle all the way to Chen Dayue's residential area.

Chen Dayue did not live in the family quarters, but lived in a high-end residential area not too far from the school but closer to the Third Ring Road. Xu Qingshan got off the motorcycle and followed Chen Dayue from the basement to the inner courtyard of the residential area, and was slightly surprised.

"Old Chen, you've made a lot of money these years, right? You live in such a good place? How much does this big flat cost?"

Xu Qingshan followed Chen Dayue inside.

But when Chen Dayue heard Xu Qingshan's words, he rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

“My wife bought this house.”

Xu Qingshan's eyes suddenly changed.

"I didn't expect you, Old Chen, to be a gigolo."

"roll roll roll."

Chen Dayue pretended to kick Xu Qingshan and spoke.

"My wife runs a small business in Beijing. She fell in love with this place when it was just being built. It's close to the school and her company, which is perfect."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Xu Qingshan was amazed.

"Old Chen, you're blushing."

"Bullshit! This was blown by the wind!"

The teachers and students went upstairs with a smile. There were two households on each staircase, so they didn't have to wait too long for the elevator.

When they really reached the door, Xu Qingshan became obedient and followed Chen Dayue obediently.

Because I heard from Chen Dayue that his wife was also at home today.

"Clap."

After opening the door, Chen Dayue put the motorcycle key into the small box beside the entrance and shouted into the house.

"Honey~ I'm back!"

Tsk, is it so disgusting?

Xu Qingshan secretly complained in his heart.

"Honey, I made you some lily and lotus seed soup. Come and try it."

It turns out.

An old couple can still be affectionate with each other, but generally speaking, one person cannot sustain this state for long. This state can only be maintained if both parties keep being affectionate with each other.

Xu Qingshan had just followed him into the house when Chen Dayue took out a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet for him to wear, and then he saw a beautiful middle-aged woman coming out of the kitchen, wearing an apron.

Although the clothes she wears look very ordinary, her fair and plump skin and her noble posture and appearance show that her temperament and status are not ordinary.

Ordinary families cannot cultivate such nobility.

Among Xu Qingshan's peers, even Jiang Jingyi, who came from a relatively wealthy family, was only arrogant, not truly noble. As for the others, Jiang Huanxi, who had a relatively good family upbringing, was gentle and virtuous, but not noble either.

The wife of the old Chen family was holding a large bowl of soup with heat-insulating gloves. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Xu Qingshan following behind Chen Dayue. She was not surprised or unfamiliar. She put the soup on the dining table and greeted him.

"This is Qingshan, right? He's so handsome, even more handsome than our old Chen when he was young."

"Ahem, my strong point is my temperament. Is my temperament good?"

Chen Dayue interrupted forcefully.

Xu Qingshan didn't act pretentiously. He put on his slippers and bowed slightly politely.

"Hello, Master's wife! I'm in a hurry to come to your house today."

The master's wife laughed meaninglessly at first, then served the lily and lotus seed soup on the table and said.

"Just treat it like your own home now. Don't try to be ridiculous. Our Lao Chen treats you like his own child. He has been a teacher for so many years. Although he has always been very responsible at work, this is the first time I've seen him care so much about people."

"During this period of time, he wakes up from sleep to contact people, and he doesn't even pay attention to the time he spends with me. He always mentions you, so I am more familiar with you, don't be alienated."

The master's wife rolled her beautiful eyes at Chen Dayue, who was looking embarrassed, and said to Xu Qingshan with a smile.

"Okay, I have always treated the teacher as my own elder. It was the teacher who guided me."

Xu Qingshan responded immediately.

The master's wife nodded with satisfaction, took off her gloves and said.

"Okay, you guys chat, I need to catch up on my beauty sleep later."

Afterwards, this huge living and dining room was left for Chen Dayue and Xu Qingshan to chat in detail.

"Cough cough."

Chen Dayue's expression was unnatural. He coughed twice deliberately, glanced to the side, and without looking at Xu Qingshan, he waved his hand casually and explained.

"Your teacher's wife, as a woman, will tend to exaggerate. Well, don't think too much about it. It's just that you are more talented. What teacher would not like to care about students with good talents? Right? It makes sense, right?"

Xu Qingshan listened to what Chen Dayue said and nodded with a smile.

This is a prison.

Compared with his teacher's wife, he somehow exudes the clear and foolish innocence of a scholar.

"Okay, that's not important. Come on, come on, look at what this is."

Chen Dayue took out a bag from the cabinet next to the living room, placed it in front of Xu Qingshan, and motioned for him to open it himself.

Xu Qingshan tore open the sealing strip and took out the contents of the bag.

It looks like several certificates.

【Membership card of Huaxia Mathematical Society】

【AMS American Mathematical Society member certificate】

[Proof of identity for new individual members of the EMS European Mathematical Society]

【Qualification Certificate for Intermediate Professional and Technical Position】

The first one is normal. Xu Qingshan stroked the small notebook.

Chen Dayue pointed at these documents and explained to Xu Qingshan who didn't know anything about them.

"In fact, it is not difficult to register as an individual member of the Huaxia Mathematical Society. Anyone with a lecturer title or above, or a master's degree or above, or who has been engaged in mathematics for more than three years, has the opportunity to apply to become a member of the Mathematical Society. It is even easier to become a student member. Anyone who is studying mathematics or related majors, including junior college students, undergraduates and postgraduates, can apply."

Xu Qingshan took a look at the certificate and found that the content was simple.

Before he could ask, Chen Dayue spoke up to clear up his confusion.

"You are an individual member, not a student member. The individual member certificate is different from the student member certificate. Individual members have the right to elect, be elected and vote, and are also eligible to participate in various in-depth association construction."

"Although this special registration is not a big deal, the association has also gone through the process specifically for you."

Chen Dayue smiled with a little pride.

Xu Qingshan asked curiously.

"Can this still happen?"

"Of course. Our Huaxia Mathematical Society has always been controlled by our Peking University School, right? They say that we will hold a few meetings to discuss, but it's just an individual membership. In fact, the teachers in our school can just get together. Teachers from other schools and those directors will not object. After all, your achievements are there."

"Oh"

Xu Qingshan fiddled with the other two identification documents.

"As for the American Mathematical Society and the European Mathematical Society's ID cards, they didn't send us physical certificates. They only have electronic copies, and they are ID cards. We might as well print them out for you. An article in the Annals of Mathematics is enough to be a stepping stone."

Chen Dayue explained.

"But I'm not European or American, right? I don't have any work relationship there either."

Xu Qingshan scratched his head.

These big guys from the School of Mathematics at Peking University suddenly disappeared a while ago. They must have been busy scattering around to deal with these things, right?

"It's not a big problem. Tian Yuan has always been a Chinese citizen. Isn't he also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences?"

Chen Dayue shrugged.

There are many talented people in this world who have obtained academician titles in various regions.

If you didn't take it, there are only a few reasons.

Either it’s an identity issue and you’re not suitable to get it.

Or it’s a matter of personal preference and they don’t want to take it.

"As long as your research results are top-notch and your international reputation is high enough, people will rush to give you a title. Do you think that people don't need to be polite abroad?"

Chen Dayue sneered.

"Don't forget, in our country we call social conventions unspoken rules, but in foreign countries, social conventions are directly put on the table. Without letters of recommendation and connections, some things cannot be done at all."

Speaking of this, Chen Dayue himself felt a little sad. Perhaps he remembered what he saw and heard when he was studying abroad, or perhaps he remembered what his classmates experienced abroad.

"Some of my generation who went abroad didn't quite understand the social customs of foreign countries. When they graduated with their doctorates, they didn't get a recommendation letter from their supervisors. In the end, they couldn't even find a teaching position. They could only wash dishes and do math in the United States. Alas."

Chen Dayue, who has always been optimistic, humorous and playful, couldn't help but sigh.

"This also shows the tenacity of us mathematicians."

Xu Qingshan scratched his head and comforted him.

Then he picked up the last little notebook.

"But, teacher, how did you get the title of assistant researcher for me? I remember that I have to wait until I graduate and work for a few years before I can get it, right?"

Chen Dayue nodded and explained to Xu Qingshan.

"Normally, for those of us who are engaged in scientific research and higher education, our professional titles follow the teaching system and the scientific research system. The teaching system is junior teaching assistant, mid-level lecturer, associate professor, and senior professor. The scientific research system corresponds to research intern, assistant researcher, associate researcher, and researcher."

"Teacher, what level are you?"

Xu Qingshan asked curiously.

He didn't know much about the professional title system within this system. With Chen Dayue here, he could ask anything he didn't understand.

"Me? I'm a fourth-level professor. If you want to look at the administrative level and salary level, you can just consider me as a deputy department level."

Chen Dayue thought about it and gave Xu Qingshan the answer.

"Oh?"

Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Dayue with surprise.

"No? What's with that look on your face, little brat? Don't I look like one?"

"It does not look like a deputy director."

"Don't judge me by worldly standards!"

Chen Dayue resisted the urge to slap Xu Qingshan and continued to explain the differences to him.

"Normally, you have to wait until you graduate from college to get a junior research intern title, then work in your field for four years, or work as an intern for two years after graduating from a master's degree, before you can apply for the assistant researcher qualification."

“If you want to go beyond internship, you either need a PhD or a master’s degree to work for three years.”

"Then I don't meet any of the conditions?"

Xu Qingshan looked over the thin little certificate over and over again.

"I'm only a freshman."

"fool!"

Chen Dayue served Xu Qingshan another bowl of lily and lotus seed soup and said.

"You can get an exception to the process for your mathematics society, so can't you get an exception to the application and review for an intermediate professional title?"

"Then why is it not written on my page that I am an assistant researcher? What level is that? A clerk?"

Xu Qingshan continued to flip through it, trying to find the details he had missed.

"That stuff goes into the files and won't be written on the certificate."

"The school can only give you an entry-level 10th-level professional title as an exception, which is already quite high. Many people are only promoted to the middle level in their 8s or 5s. As for administrative level and treatment, you can be considered a deputy section chief. When you reach level 6, you will be a full section chief. At that time, deputy senior officials will be divided into levels 7, 5, and 6. Level 7 is a full director, and levels and are deputy directors. You can figure out the rest yourself."

Chen Dayue drank the lily and lotus seed soup cooked by his wife elegantly and contentedly.

What my wife cooks is sweet, just as sweet as my wife.

"But this is only a theoretical correspondence, don't take it seriously."

"Yeah, but, teacher, I checked, it seems that this thing is just a qualification certificate. It doesn't mean that I will have this kind of treatment, right?" Xu Qingshan showed his mobile phone, he searched it on the spot.

Chen Dayue took it and looked at it, then nodded while holding the spoon in one hand.

"It is indeed just a qualification certificate, but the School of Mathematics has also arranged your salary."

Chen Dayue's face still had that same little smugness and pride.

"Can we at Beijing University be short of something like that from you?"

"Dean Tian and Principal Zhou have already arranged for you. They will go through the special appointment process for you to work as an independent assistant researcher at our Institute of Mathematics at Peking University. The process is not yet complete, but the academician and the president have spoken together, and it is our own territory in the Institute of Mathematics, so it is a sure thing, don't worry."

"Work hard, and when you are promoted to associate professor in a few years, the house in Yandongyuan will be officially allocated to you."

Chen Dayue's words revealed a lot of key information.

But Xu Qingshan scratched his head.

He was not very happy because the teachers and leaders suddenly assigned him work.
He doesn't just do math.

But if I refuse such preferential treatment from above, wouldn’t it seem a bit ungrateful?

Chen Dayue saw the hesitant and conflicted expression on Xu Qingshan's face. With such a long relationship between the two, Chen Dayue felt that he could guess what Xu Qingshan was thinking even if he farted, so he spoke again.

"Don't think too much. Being an independent assistant researcher is actually just a temporary position with a salary. You don't have to go to the institute on a regular basis. Just report in when you have time."

"Besides, we set up a research system for you because you are still in school. The teaching system and your student status may conflict easily. When you graduate, this researcher qualification certificate can be used to apply for the corresponding qualification certificate in the teaching system. Don't worry, the school has prepared your route planning for you."

Chen Dayue said nonchalantly.

"Just focus on studying and doing research. The school will not assign you any extra work. We will only provide you with remuneration. As long as you can produce such results in the future, these remunerations will be extremely high returns."

"That's it, okay."

Xu Qingshan nodded, agreed, and put the documents away.

He was still drinking the lotus seed and lily soup cooked by his master's wife when he heard Chen Dayue speak again.

"And the school is arranging these things for you now, but it actually has other ideas."

At this point, Chen Dayue's expression became more serious.

"Qingshan, do you plan to go abroad?"

Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Chen Dayue asked this.

He shook his head.

"No plans for the moment."

"The university supports you to study abroad, but we also hope that you can stay at Kyoto University. The president and others have made their attitude very clear. As long as you stay at Kyoto University, you don't need to worry about many things."

"As long as you have the achievements or qualifications, Beijing University will definitely fight for you what you should apply for and what you should strive for."

"Arranging a job title for you in advance is also related to this."

"Do you know the requirements for applying for the National Natural Science Foundation of China?"

Xu Qingshan shook his head.

He knew nothing about this. He was so absorbed in studying and researching that he had no time to study things that were redundant to him.

"In fact, although major projects, outstanding young scientists, and four young scientists are titles, they are actually fund projects. To apply for fund projects, according to normal requirements, you must be a member of the scientific research and teaching system, or a scientific and technological worker in the industrial sector."

"If you are not a regular member of a laboratory or research team, you will generally be required to hold a professional title of associate senior or above."

"But by the time you get your Ph.D., you will probably have produced a lot of results."

"If you want to transform these achievements into resources and awards, and gain more benefits for yourself, then a professional title is still necessary."

As Chen Dayue spoke, Xu Qingshan also realized the complexity of the scientific research system.

But it's not a big problem.

He can save himself a lot of trouble by leaning against a big tree.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.

Do you understand the value of the top domestic mathematical and physical scholars?
"Normally, you cannot apply for projects if you are pursuing a graduate degree. However, if you are a working graduate student, as long as your supervisor agrees, you can apply for various general projects, youth science fund projects and regional fund projects through your employer as an applicant."

Chen Dayue continued to brainwash Xu Qingshan and Tianyin.

This also explains clearly the path that the bigwigs of the School of Mathematics at Peking University had paved for Xu Qingshan.

"So, you want to."

"You are now a mid-level professional, employed by the Institute of Mathematics at Kyoto University."

"You are a freshman now. Assuming you graduate in three years and then continue your studies for a doctorate, you will have three years of experience as an assistant researcher and be a doctoral student."

“That is to say, three years later, you can start applying for projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation.”

“There’s a key point here.”

There was a gleam in Chen Dayue's eyes.

At this time, Xu Qingshan always felt that he was more and more like a big squirrel, or a squirrel that saw a pile of pine nuts.

"Master's students who are working cannot apply for the Youth Science Fund Project, which means they cannot go through the Four Youths Channel."

"But the problem is, you are going straight to a PhD program! You will apply for the Four Youths Program as a PhD student. Is that okay?"

Xu Qingshan nodded blankly.

As soon as Chen Dayue said this, the road to heaven opened up right before his eyes.

How much effort and thought did the professors at the School of Mathematics at Peking University put in to come up with such a route for themselves?

I am 18 years old now.

Three years later, he was only 3.

Starting to comment on the Four Youths at the age of 21?
I might graduate with a Ph.D. before I turn 25. At this rate of progress, I estimate that I will most likely be evaluated for a senior professor upon graduation, and then be specially appointed, and then start running around for the Young Outstanding Scientist Award.

This route.
All I can say is that Peking University has really figured out scientific research.

Awesome.

Xu Qingshan secretly gave a thumbs up to Peking University in his heart, and gave a thumbs up to the professors of the School of Mathematics of Peking University, especially Dean Tian, ​​and President Zhou who gave his strong support.

These thighs are all rushing to my face!
This series of arrangements.

This is to ensure that Xu Qingshan will not be held back by his age and academic qualifications when facing various awards and selections in the future.

It can be said to be well-intentioned.

"How is it? The School of Mathematics is awesome, right?"

Seeing that Xu Qingshan was in a state of excitement, Chen Dayue raised his eyebrows at Xu Qingshan with a bright smile on his face.

"Brilliant."

Xu Qingshan spoke his true feelings.

"Then why don't you consider switching to just majoring in mathematics in the future?"

See the picture poorly.

The School of Mathematics has not given so many benefits for nothing.

The basis for this is Xu Qingshan’s ability to prove important conjectures. He could solve the general form of the twin prime conjecture at the age of 18. What could he solve at the age of 28?
Normally, a mathematician's peak period is after the age of 28.

Xu Qingshan looked at Chen Dayue's old face which was full of expectation and smiled.

"It is impossible to cultivate alone."

As soon as these words came out of Xu Qingshan's mouth, Xu Qingshan saw Chen Dayue's old face fall instantly.

That kind of collapse was not dissatisfaction with Xu Qingshan, but a mixed expression of "I knew it would be like this" and "This is such a sad story."

Even Xu Qingshan saw in Lao Chen's eyes the spirit of the pie-shaped fan-shaped emotion graph described in the novel.

"But I promise that the School of Mathematics at Peking University will be my home forever. These benefits are worth it, and I will not give up on the path of mathematics."

At this point, Xu Qingshan decided to give Lao Chen some information to put his mind at ease.

"Don't worry, teacher."

"I'm working on Mersenne primes recently, if there aren't any major problems with the final verification."

Xu Qingshan stretched out his hand and clenched it in the air, looking quite childish, but Chen Dayue was watching him very seriously.

"Zhou guessed that I was about to succeed!"

"Uh-huh."

Chen Dayue nodded subconsciously in response.

"Ok?"

"Zhou's guess?!"

Chen Dayue, who had originally lowered his head in disappointment because Xu Qingshan did not agree to study mathematics alone, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Qingshan in shock.

"no?"

The corners of Chen Dayue's mouth twitched.

"Weren't you just working on the fully general form of the twin prime conjecture on the side of the road?"

"correct."

"Then why did you suddenly switch to Zhou's conjecture about Mersenne primes?"

“Isn’t this contradictory?”

Looking at Xu Qingshan, who looked as if completing the proof was a matter of course, Chen Dayue felt his head buzzing.

"no."

Chen Dayue was speechless.

"Although I'm a probability statistician, I also know a little about number theory. Mersenne primes and twin primes are two completely different things. How did you suddenly make the leap?"

Chen Dayue was a little confused.

How can this young man solve the world's problems as easily as chopping melons and vegetables or drinking water and peeing?

This is totally unreasonable!
“He just stepped over it like that!”

Xu Qingshan blinked.

"They are all number theory, right? They are all prime numbers, right? They are all conjectures, right? They all require the use of mathematical tools, right?"

"Look, there are so many similarities. Can't we just turn our heads around and get over it?"

Xu Qingshan’s words almost made Chen Dayue’s head explode.

"you boy"

"If you say so, why don't you go back and prove the Goldbach conjecture?"

Chen Dayue gritted his teeth, but even with this expression on his face, the old man began to feel sour in his heart.

This kind of sour and refreshing taste is really sour and refreshing.

I am jealous of the students' talent, this is really too exaggerated.

In Chen Dayue's eyes, he witnessed Xu Qingshan's rapid rise step by step. He originally wanted to train Xu Qingshan well and let him inherit his mantle and carry forward probability statistics.

Now Chen Dayue no longer has such thoughts at all.

This is absolutely a demon in the field of number theory!
I am a person who studies probability and statistics, but I have brought up a genius in number theory?

Chen Dayue felt that saying this was just flattering himself.

"It's not impossible."

Xu Qingshan looked into the bowl and found that the lily and lotus seed soup was not easy to drink. He only drank two or three bowls and finished it. He was still a little greedy and licked his lips. He was thinking about whether he should try to stew it for his grandmother and the little ostrich when he got home.

"you"

Chen Dayue suddenly felt that he was too powerless to complain.

Is this genius?

If he had not engaged in mathematical research, Xu Qingshan would be like a frog in a well looking at the moon.

If you get into mathematical research, seeing Xu Qingshan is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Chen Dayue felt numb from his toes all the way to the top of his head.

"never mind."

Chen Dayue waved his hand.

"Do whatever you want to do, but remember to be rigorous in your interpretation. When you have time, communicate more with Dean Xu and others, and get through your undergraduate studies as quickly as possible, so that we can arrange various things for you."

Xu Qingshan blinked, looked at his mentor who suddenly looked a little depressed, and asked curiously.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? You suddenly sound weak when speaking."

"Nothing, I just feel like I'm getting old."

Chen Dayue sighed.

Xu Qingshan helped to clear the dishes and soup bowls on the table. Just as he came out of the kitchen, Chen Dayue seemed to have just remembered something. He slapped his head and ran to the study to get a physical magazine.

"Come, look at this."

Xu Qingshan took it curiously.

It was an all-English magazine, and he was very familiar with the name - "Nature".
