As the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hou Xingyuan’s authority in the field of scientific research can be said to be at the pinnacle of China.
So it only takes less than half a day.
A pass was issued to the Government Affairs Center of HKUST.
"What?"
Inside the office.
Looking at Academician Pan in front of him, Xu Yun pointed at himself in surprise and said:
"Teacher, I also want to go to Sichuan Province?"
Academician Pan hummed and handed him a pass sealed in a plastic case:
"Well, this time I, Mr. Zhao, Xiao Lu and you are all going. Why, do you have something important to do?"
Xu Yun hesitated for a moment and shook his head:
"No."
It was originally according to his plan.
In about a week or so, the many things I have prepared for the copy will be almost ready.
At that time, you can find an opportunity to wrap up some matters in the company, and then you can open a new copy to complete the Jade Seal mission.
But if we follow Academician Pan and the others to Sichuan Province now,
There is no hope of opening a copy within a week at least.
But fortunately, this is not an urgent matter. No matter what, it will take a week or two. It might be safer to have more time to prepare.
While Xu Yun was thinking.
Academician Pan raised his eyelids and glanced at him again, and said:
"By the way, Xiao Xu, you'd better bring one or two slightly better outfits this time, and then go style your hair - it doesn't have to be formal, but don't wear plaid shirts every day like a programmer.
"
"If nothing else happens, Dean Hou may want to meet you this time."
"Dean Hou?"
Hearing this name, Xu Yun was really surprised this time:
"Teacher, Dean Hou is also going to Sichuan Province?"
"Look at what you said, how fresh it is."
Academician Pan rolled his eyes at him, picked up the pass on the table and slapped Xu Yun on the head:
"What we want to verify is dark matter. This is a rigorous moment that concerns the history of human science on a larger scale. Can Dean Hou not be present?"
"He also mentioned you when I called you in the afternoon. Coupled with the public opinion conference and the earlier imidacloprid patent, I guess he will probably have a few words with you."
Xu Yun nodded clearly.
I think so.
Given Hou Xingyuan's personality, he would not easily miss such an occasion.
As for what Academician Pan said about himself, there is nothing surprising about it.
The patent for the fifth generation imidacloprid was originally applied for with the help of Dean Hou. Maybe Dean Hou just helped out casually, but at least he must have had an impression of it.
Then in the public opinion incident.
Dean Hou personally made a phone call and set the policy of using the power of HKUST to prove himself. Afterwards, there would be "compensation" such as the selection of 100-person A and Lu Xiao's return to the country.
With all the events put together, it is not surprising that Dean Hou knew his name.
In fact, while Xu Yun respects this big man who has done more to save a family than to bring disaster, he also has a sense of curiosity.
To know.
In the campus legend of HKUST, Hou Xingyuan actually wore a wig.
Ahem
In short.
After thinking about this, Xu Yun felt much calmer.
He turned over the pass that Academician Pan gave him, and when he saw the name of the institution on it, he couldn't help but feel a flash of excitement in his heart.
Finally I can go to this long-awaited place.
Early next morning.
Just after half past six in the morning.
Xu Yun forcefully took on the winter seal buff and climbed out of bed.
After washing up, he dragged his suitcase out the door.
In fact, he really wanted to take Lao Su with him to the place he was going to today.
However, whether it is Academician Pan, Zhao Zhengguo, or Lu Chaoyang, their positions at HKUST are professors in the Department of Physics.
And the identity given to Lao Su by the halo is
Students graduating from the Department of Physics.
True.
Academician Pan and others may not remember each student's name or face, but if they casually ask about certain physics concepts, today's old Su will obviously not be able to answer them.
A little carelessness may cause other accidents.
Therefore, although the opportunity was rare, after careful consideration, Xu Yun gave up the idea of bringing Lao Su with him.
Then he randomly bought two steamed buns stuffed with stinky tofu stuffing downstairs, and walked towards the University of Science and Technology while chewing the steamed buns.
About ten minutes later.
While Xu Yun finished eating the buns, he also came to the parking lot where he met Tian Liangwei when he greeted Lu Xiao.
Just entered the parking lot.
He then saw Lu Chaoyang, who had arrived first, and two commercial vehicles waiting here.
So he walked forward quickly, put the suitcase in the car first, and at the same time said hello to Lu Chaoyang:
"Professor Lu, good morning."
Lu Chaoyang smiled at him and patted his shoulder hard:
"Good morning, have you eaten?"
Xu Yun nodded:
"have eaten."
Then Lu Chaoyang glanced at the sky in the distance, then at Xu Yun beside him, and suddenly said:
"Xiao Xu, thank you very much this time."
"?"
After hearing Lu Chaoyang's confused words, a question mark appeared on Xu Yun's face.
Then he was about to ask for details, but before he could speak, a realization suddenly flashed through his mind.
Could it be.
He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"Professor Lu, are you going to wear a hat?"
Lu Chaoyang waved his hands low-key, but an uncontrollable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"There is no concrete conclusion yet, but judging from the current situation, the probability is much higher than before."
Then he paused and added:
"If the lone point particles are really standard cold dark matter, then they probably won't escape."
Xu Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows.
According to Lu Chaoyang's usual personality, it is almost impossible for him to say such firm words - this is the old man who dares to say that he has not finished the manuscript in the payment section of the "Science" journal.
It can be seen that Lu Chaoyang's heart at this time was far from as peaceful as he appeared on the surface.
after all
That’s wearing a hat!
The hat here does not refer to the minotaur cuckold hat, but the legendary academician hat.
Mentioned earlier.
In the entire isolated point example project, the actual contributors with the highest contribution are Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo, followed by Xu Yun.
The fourth person after that is Lu Chaoyang.
Whether it was the experimental site where the solitary point particle was discovered or the subsequent ground state research, Lu Chaoyang played a significant role.
Although his contribution may not be higher than Xu Yun's, his foundation is much stronger than Xu Yun's.
In terms of position, he is a professor at HKUST, doctoral supervisor, and director of the Magic City Research Institute at HKUST.
In terms of honors, he is the winner of the May 4th Youth Medal, the Fresnel Award, and the Adolf Long Medal.
There are 9 papers in "Nature" and "Science", and 11 papers in "Nature" sub-journals.
On this basis.
If we add the contribution of lone point particles, Lu Chaoyang's academician hat can indeed be said to be extremely stable.
Think of this.
A sentence suddenly appeared in Xu Yun's mind:
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Once the lone point particle is confirmed to be cold dark matter, not only Xu Yun and Lu Chaoyang, but other members of the project team will also receive a lot of honors and benefits.
without any exaggeration.
As long as they don't overturn in the future, a deputy senior professional title will never escape.
If their hometown is a small county in the fourth or fifth tier, they may even be awarded honorary alumni and regional science and technology contribution medals.
Xu Yun even knew a member who had participated in a major award and was included in the county annals and yearbook by the local chronicle office in his hometown.
Of course.
If this can contribute to Lu Chaoyang's wearing of hats, Xu Yun would be very happy.
If it weren't for his age, Lu Chaoyang should have been elected as an academician long ago.
Then the two chatted for a while about the battle of the golden shovel. More than an hour later, Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo also arrived at the scene.
Since Zhao Zhengguo was approaching his seventies, he brought an assistant with him to take care of and deal with some daily matters.
This person is also a Ph.D. graduate from the University of Science and Technology and one of Zhao Zhengguo’s students. His name is Fu Jiasong.
Fu Jiasong is probably in his early thirties, has a round face and short hair, and looks very humble.
According to Lu Chaoyang’s introduction during the chat just now.
The reason why Zhao Zhengguo brought Fu Jiasong with him on this trip has something to do with Fu Jiasong's current situation.
Fu Jiasong is thirty-four years old this year. Like Tang Fei in Xu Yun's project team, he is also at a critical juncture in the selection of associate researchers.
So Zhao Zhengguo took him with him this time to see if there was any chance for him to become familiar with Dean Hou when giving a report.
Although it is impossible to directly 'recommend' him, at least he can guarantee that he will not be tricked. If it is purely based on ability, Zhao Zhengguo still believes in his students.
This approach is not considered a back door. After all, if Zhao Zhengguo really wanted to help Fu Jiasong become deputy high-ranking officer, there would be no need for Zhao Zhengguo to go to such trouble.
After Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo arrived.
Fu Jiasong put the suitcase in the car very attentively, and then stood aside obediently.
Then Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo got into the first commercial car, and Xu Yun, Lu Chaoyang and Fu Jiasong got into the latter car.
Woo da da——
The car started quickly.
More than an hour later.
The two cars were parked safely outside the terminal of Xinqiao Airport.
Looking at the exit of the terminal building with people coming and going, Xu Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the scene of welcoming Lu Xiao on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year is still vivid in my mind, as if everything happened yesterday.
But this time, Xu Yun came to Xinqiao Airport not to pick up someone, but to leave Luzhou.
The University of Science and Technology had already completed the check-in procedures for the group in advance. Although Zhao Zhengguo asked in advance not to be as special as possible, Xinqiao Airport still took the initiative to open a special channel for them - after all, this was a ticket purchased by the University of Science and Technology.
The airport will be informed of the situation.
As for the cabin.
Due to the tight time schedule, HKUST only booked a few H-class cabins, which made Zhao Zhengguo quite satisfied - first-class cabins were such a waste of money.
An hour passed.
The flight takes off.
Two and a half hours later.
The flight arrived in Kidu.
Compared with Xinqiao Airport, Shuangliu Airport, one of the eight regional hub airports in China, is undoubtedly much taller and has more complete services.
Less than half an hour after leaving the cabin.
Xu Yun and others received their luggage and left the terminal.
As soon as he arrived at the waiting hall, Fu Jiasong, who had been observing the external situation, pointed to the left:
"Teacher, Academician Pan, where is the person who will pick us up!"
Xu Yun and others took advantage of the situation and looked around.
I only see this moment.
More than thirty meters away from them, there was a young woman in formal clothes holding a sign with one line written on it:
[(Panda Head Love) Mr. Pan from the University of Science and Technology of China, Mr. Zhao (Jiaran Love)]
Upon seeing this, Academician Pan looked at Zhao Zhengguo and greeted everyone:
"That's right, it should be there. Let's go there."
A little less than half a minute later.
Xu Yun and others came to the woman holding the license. Lu Chaoyang took the initiative to take a step forward and asked:
"Hello, are you Ms. Chen Sijie?"
The woman holding the license noticed them when everyone started to leave. The faces of Zhao Zhengguo and Academician Pan were also very recognizable, so after Lu Chaoyang spoke, her expression looked enthusiastic and calm:
"Yes, I am Chen Sijie."
Then she glanced at Lu Chaoyang, quickly recognized his identity, and stretched out her hand generously:
"Are you Professor Lu Chaoyang?"
Lu Chaoyang also shook hands with her politely, and after letting go, he naturally moved away:
"Ms. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Academician Pan and this is Academician Zhao."
Academician Pan and Zhao Zhengguo shook hands with Chen Sijie one after another, and their attitudes were cordial.
Just when Chen Sijie was about to speak, another energetic voice suddenly sounded not far away:
"Hey, Lao Pan!"
Academician Pan took advantage of the situation and looked around.
At this time, they saw a man pushing a wheelchair, about ten meters away from them, with some white temples.
When he saw the appearance of the speaker, Academician Pan's face lit up and he was about to speak.
But after seeing clearly the person sitting in the wheelchair in front of him, his joy suddenly turned into intense surprise:
