When the research was determined to be suspended, there was no need for the research group to exist. One-third of the members of Pan Zhong's team decided to come to Xihai to join Wang Hao's research group.

One-third, which doesn’t sound like much, is actually a lot, mainly because of working in different places.

Working remotely is not acceptable to everyone.

Some middle-aged people have families and children, and considering their limited abilities, they may directly reject even a good job opportunity.

Therefore, those who are sure to come are either young people or people who sincerely pursue scientific research or are not tied down by life.

Wang Hao is still looking forward to the introduction of a large group of new people.

No matter when it comes, the expansion of the research group is definitely good news, and he hopes that more people will participate in the demonstration work.

The work of the SMES research group is on track.

Wang Hao's job is relatively easy, because he has to wait most of the time. He only needs to attend some small meetings on design demonstrations and has nothing else to do.

After he was relatively free, Wang Hao also took care of the students he was teaching.

Now there are only four of his students left - Helen, Chen Mengmeng, Qiu Hui'an and Ding Zhiqiang.

All four of them are studying for PhDs.

Helen, Chen Mengmeng, and Qiu Hui'an are all already preparing their doctoral thesis.

Ding Zhiqiang mainly participates in the work of the calculation group of the Superconducting Materials Laboratory, and is also struggling with the choice of research direction.

Unlike most other PhDs in mathematics, Ding Zhiqiang has two majors, one is partial differential equations and the other is algebraic geometry.

Even Wang Hao can feel Ding Zhiqiang's talent in partial differential equations, but Ding Zhiqiang seems to prefer algebraic geometry. His work in the calculation group has been unanimously recognized, and he has also published two SCI papers in the direction of algebraic geometry.

However, among several doctoral students, Helen has published the most papers. She focuses on the research of annihilation theory. She has published five SCI papers, two of which were co-authored with Chen Mengmeng and published in top academic journals.

Chen Mengmeng naturally has two top-notch publications, and personally published an SCI research paper in the field of quantum physics.

Now, Qiu Hui'an, who started with the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award, has the worst performance in doctoral studies. In the past two years, he has not published a single paper.

This is mainly a matter of direction.

Perhaps influenced by Wang Hao, Qiu Hui'an initially chose the Riemann Hypothesis. Of course, he did not want to prove the Riemann Hypothesis, but just hoped that the research could make a little progress.

Later, he gave up.

When giving up a research that has been focused on for nearly a year, it is still a huge personal blow.

Later, Qiu Hui'an focused on the research on the methodology of number theory. To put it simply, he studied 'what methods to use to solve number theory problems'.

He has made some small progress in research in this direction.

Wang Hao is also looking forward to Qiu Hui'an's development in the direction of number theory, but number theory is a difficult direction, and it is very difficult to achieve results.

On this day, Helen and Chen Mengmeng found Wang Hao together.

Chen Mengmeng walked into the office and said, "Teacher Wang, Helen and I are a little lost..."

"Can't find the direction?" Wang Hao asked in confusion, "You can't find the direction? Aren't you focusing on theoretical research?"

Helen and Chen Mengmeng pursed their lips together.

They both felt that Wang Hao was a bit unreliable. During most of their Ph.D. studies, they both did research on their own or joined Paul Phil-Jones' research.

But Paul Phil Jones can hardly be said to be a teacher. He can basically be said to be a collaborator. He will not talk about specific things.

So in the past two years, Helen and Chen Mengmeng relied on hard work and completed several studies.

This process is not easy.

Now that he was preparing his doctoral thesis, Chen Mengmeng and Helen went to find Wang Hao. Chen Mengmeng curled up his mouth and showed obvious dissatisfaction, "Teacher Wang, we never bother you, but the doctoral thesis

I really can’t find the direction.”

"You also know how important a doctoral thesis is!"

"It is impossible for us to treat the published paper as a doctoral thesis. Helen and I also hope to do a good research..."

Wang Hao already understood after hearing this.

The doctoral thesis is indeed very important. Even if it can publish an SCI paper, the doctoral thesis represents the 'direction'. When some PhDs are looking for a job, they will be asked about the content of the doctoral thesis, especially for scientific research work.

.

Of course, Helen and Chen Mengmeng have no worries about finding jobs. No matter which university in China they go to, they will be directly hired as associate professors without any problem.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully and felt that he had indeed neglected Helen and Chen Mengmeng. In the past two years, because he focused on his own research, he basically did not provide any guidance.

He pressed his forehead with a headache, "Okay, I know what you mean, let me think about it."

Chen Mengmeng suddenly smiled and gave Helen a victory gesture. When she was about to leave, she found that Helen did not leave, but continued to look at Wang Hao.

"Helen, is there anything else?" Wang Hao asked with confusion.

Helen nodded seriously and said, "Teacher Wang, do you still remember five years ago? When I first came to Xihai University."

"——??"

"I said you were the best choice at that time. Now I am about to graduate with my PhD. After graduation, I will no longer be a student."

"So have you thought about this?"

After Helen finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Wang Hao blankly.

Wang Hao was stunned with his mouth half open. He and Helen kept looking at each other.

It took a long time.

Helen suddenly said, "Teacher Wang, I really hope that I can receive the most noble gift on my birthday next year!"

Wang Hao's expression froze on his face.

After Helen finished speaking, she left the office. Chen Mengmeng was confused and prepared to follow, but then he couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Teacher Wang, what gift is Helen talking about?"

Wang Hao tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "...Maybe he hopes to complete his doctoral thesis better?"

"Yeah?"

Chen Mengmeng sounded confused, "Why do I feel that's not what you're talking about?"

…

Of course Wang Hao understood what Helen meant, and he also felt a little headache.

Gift?

Gene?

seed?

It sounds a little dirty!

The problem is that Wang Hao doesn't think that the genes of their old Wang family are so good that they can catch up with the old Wang next door...

Ahem.

From the perspective of improving genes, Helen is definitely better, but considering many aspects, it is impossible for him to marry a foreign woman.

Wang Hao really started to think about women's issues.

In the past few years, he spent most of his time on research, but in the past two years, he began to feel the pressure of 'urging marriage'.

Parents, friends, colleagues...

Everyone really cares about him, and he personally feels that he should find a woman. No matter how bad the genes of the old Wang family are, they should continue to be passed on.

In essence, genetic inheritance is the basic pursuit of life.

Wang Hao also had a headache thinking about it. He simply opened the browser at random and read the latest news in the "Science" magazine.

Since there was nothing he particularly wanted to see, he just browsed casually.

suddenly.

A news flash came into view, "Professor Bellier led a team to use a new type of spectral analysis method to determine the mass of the VRO-53 supernova."

"...Spectral measurement analysis shows that the proportion of dark matter in the VRO-53 supernova exceeds 90%..."

"This becomes strong evidence for the existence of dark matter!"

Dark matter?

Wang Hao couldn't help curling his lips, shaking his head and saying, "We always talk about dark matter, dark matter, but there is no special evidence. It is still the same rhetoric from astronomy."

At this time, the system message suddenly rang.

[Task 2, inspiration value +16.]

Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately checked the tasks that had not increased his inspiration value for a long time.

【Task 2】

[Task 2: Find the phenomenon of increasing space compression (Difficulty: S). 】

[Inspiration value: 41.]

"41 points? An increase of 16 points in one breath?"
Chapter completed!
