Chapter 134: Being urged to graduate by the school
Xu Chuan is not worried that the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics will not be able to review his paper, nor is he worried that the paper will be returned.
There is no one in the astrophysics community who can review his paper, but there are still people in the mathematics and physics communities.
This kind of paper can change the entire world of astronomy and astrophysics. As long as the editors of the "Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics" have brains, they will not give up and will try their best to keep it.
For others, it is their honor to publish a paper in such a top journal, but for Xu Chuan's paper, it is an honor to publish this paper in the journal.
Just like Einstein winning the Nobel Prize is the honor of the Nobel Prize and not Einstein's honor.
What's more troublesome for Xu Chuan now is that the school is urging him to graduate.
That's right, he was a freshman who had only been in college for more than one semester and was still one or two months away from finishing his freshman year. The school urged him to graduate quickly.
He was currently in the office of his mentor Chen Zhengping when he was called over by a phone call.
In the office were not only his mentor Chen Zhengping, but also Professor Zhou Hai from the School of Mathematics, Dean Rong Zhizhuan, and Dean Yu Yongwang from the School of Physics.
"Xu Chuan, it's almost time for you to graduate. Graduate as soon as possible and go out for further studies as soon as possible. You are now at the age of study."
"You have to know that people on the Internet are now wondering why you have made such great achievements without graduating with a bachelor's degree. It's like NTU is detaining you to prevent you from graduating. The school is under a lot of pressure.
"
“…..”
In the office, Rong Zhizhuan persuaded him earnestly, hoping that he could go to a higher institution to receive higher knowledge.
Although there are indeed some doubts online, they are far from affecting NTU, let alone putting pressure on universities.
It’s just that in his view and that of many others, NTU’s Mathematics School can no longer teach Xu Chuan anything. Only a top mathematics school like Princeton, a sacred place of mathematics with many Fields Medal winners, can help Xu Chuan reach a higher level.
Math steps.
Therefore, ever since Xu Chuan proved the Weyl-berry conjecture, he has been actively urging him to graduate, not wanting to delay his study of mathematics because of his dual studies in physics and mathematics.
When it comes to caring for mathematical talents, no one in NTU is more dedicated than Rong Zhizhuan.
On the side, Professor Zhou Hai and Dean of the Institute of Physics Yu Yong were drinking tea and watching the show.
For Zhou Hai, although Xu Chuan is good at both mathematics and mathematics, he is not his disciple after all, and he is not the school leader of the School of Mathematics. Xu Chuan's mathematical talent is indeed outstanding, and the School of Mathematics of NTU cannot teach him anything.
But there is no need for him to rush people to graduate.
He came here today only because Rong Zhizhuan dragged him here as a foil.
As for Yu Yongwang, the dean of the Institute of Physics, he is even more indifferent. His relationship with Xu Chuan is even shallower, not to mention that Chen Zhengping is still here. Chen Zhengping is Xu Chuan's real mentor, and he is also a physics mentor.
........
After listening to Rong Zhizhuan's persuasion, Xu Chuan turned his attention to his mentor Chen Zhengping.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Zhengping shook his head slightly. He also supported his disciple to graduate early.
To be honest, by now he doesn't have too many complicated thoughts about Xu Chuan graduating early, and he doesn't care whether he has made any achievements in physics.
If it were an ordinary tutor or professor who brought such an outstanding student, he would definitely try to find ways to keep the student abroad for a while.
After all, according to the current unspoken academic rules in China, teachers can get a share of a student's graduation thesis or other research results, even if they are produced by the student alone. Not to mention getting the entire first work, but at least the second work and the corresponding author's supervisor will get a share.
arrive.
But to him, these things no longer matter. He can become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and does not need these students' scores to add points.
Whether it is the proof of the weak Weyl-berry conjecture, the comprehensive proof of the Weyl-berry conjecture, or the scientific observation experiment of Betelgeuse and the subsequent derivative results of the Xu-Weyl-berry theorem, Xu Chuan actually
None of them added their names to the paper.
There is absolutely no problem in adding it, after all, he is a mentor, but Chen Zhengping does not bother to take advantage of such an advantage. In this era where teacher ethics are becoming increasingly rare, he still wants to lose face.
Moreover, these things basically have nothing to do with him. They were all made by Xu Chuan himself, and they were all achievements of the mathematical community.
In this case, it is even more impossible to add his own name to Xu Chuan's paper. Although Xu Chuan mentioned these things, he refused.
For students like Xu Chuan, Chen Zhengping didn't have many ideas. His only idea was not to delay his future and let him go to a higher platform as soon as possible to absorb scientific research nutrients and continue to grow.
........
The group chatted in the office for a while and then dispersed.
In fact, today's conversation was not specifically meant to urge Xu Chuan to graduate as soon as possible, but to inform him of the reward for the results of the Betelgeuse scientific research experiment.
NTU has already discussed and prepared the rewards for this scientific research experiment.
For the observation result that it was discovered that there is a companion star in the hydrogen envelope of Betelgeuse, the school awarded 100,000 cash.
As for the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies using the xu-weyl-berry theorem, the school will award a cash reward of 500,000 yuan.
In comparison, the weyl-berry conjecture is proved to be much less, but it is normal. After all, the influence of the two is completely different.
Even though the weight of Weyl-Berry's conjecture in the mathematical world is only at the bottom of T2, and the importance of the method of accurately calculating parameter information of distant celestial bodies is ranked at the top in the astronomical world, and can be said to be the level of the founding school, the weight of the two is still the same.
Quite a difference.
Without him, the astronomical world is too small to compare with the mathematical world.

In addition, there are also rewards from Jinling City, rewards from the astronomical community, etc. These are all things that cannot be escaped.
dropped.
However, although the rewards are ready, it will still take some time for them to be distributed.
First, the paper on the method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies using the xu-weyl-berry theorem has not yet passed the review.
Second, this time the scientific research laboratory discovered that Betelgeuse has a companion star in its hydrogen envelope. This is something that will require a return cycle to determine.
Therefore, although the school has prepared the awards, it cannot be issued yet according to regulations. It needs to wait until the scientific research results are completely confirmed. In other words, Xu Chuan will have to wait at least more than a month to get these awards.
.
However, unexpectedly, an astronomical institution in the Germanic country made a detailed observation of Betelgeuse two or three months ago.
Then after it was revealed that Betelgeuse was a twin star, the other party immediately thought of the previous data. After comparing it, they found some identical data anomalies.
Without using Xu Chuan's xu-weyl-berry theorem, we used traditional methods to conduct more complex calculations, and also came to the conclusion that there is indeed a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope.
And the time aspect is completely consistent with the results calculated by Xu Chuan.
Two kinds of data, two completely different methods, by comparison, it was simultaneously determined that Betelgeuse has a companion star, and it was also determined that the return period of the companion star in Betelgeuse is twenty-eight days, and it was also confirmed that it had been thought before
Betelgeuse, which was a single-star galaxy, eventually became a binary-star galaxy.
So after the German astronomical agency announced the news, NTU followed up in real time. Not only did it once again publicize this astronomical discovery, it also distributed the reward for the discovery of a companion star in Betelgeuse's hydrogen envelope in advance.
.
As for the results of the xu-weyl-berry theorem’s method of accurately calculating the parameter information of distant celestial bodies, we have to wait until the paper is reviewed.
As for the rewards from the city and the astronomical community, they basically have to wait until the final results are confirmed before they can be distributed.
........
The others left. Xu Chuan said hello and was about to leave, but was stopped by his mentor.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Chen Zhengping stopped Xu Chuan and continued: "As for last year's scientific research experiment on tungsten diselenide, I have completed the project and submitted it for review."
"So you can send out the mathematical model used in the analysis of tungsten diselenide, including modeling papers and the like."
Hearing that the project review of tungsten diselenide was completed, Xu Chuan asked curiously: "Have the collapse and curling effects of tungsten diselenide nanosheets been finally solved when they are laid flat? What is the yield rate?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping grinned and said, "It's solved. Thanks to your help, your senior brother and I used that mathematical model to optimize the reducing agent and catalyst."
"In the end, the reducing agent was modified. The originally used hydrogen reducing agent was modified into an ionic hydride, that is, a salt-type hydride. Finally, the yield reached about 93.67 percent."
"In addition, after the scientific research experiments here are completed, the bonuses should also be distributed. According to the contribution and bonus awarding system, the bonus for you and Professor Zhou Hai's student named Xin is 179,000."
"Give me a bank card account number, and I'll call you here. Because your bonuses are integrated, plus the mathematical model you completed independently before, I don't know much about your specific contribution and how much each of you has done.
It’s clear, so the bonus will be distributed to you.”
When Xu Chuan heard that the yield rate of tungsten diselenide reached 93%, he knew that the defects caused by van der Waals forces had been solved.
He was not surprised that his mentor could find a new reducing agent to solve the problem of van der Waals force defects. After all, he was an academician of a scientific research institute and a real academician.
However, he did not go on to ask what the ionic hydride reducing agent used to solve van der Waals forces was, because it involved experimental confidentiality.
Except for the internal core personnel of the scientific research team, as well as some patent reviewers and key people, no one else will know about something of this critical nature.
Even the published patent terms do not contain such details.
It was the amount of the bonus that surprised Xu Chuan.
One hundred and seventy-nine thousand, a bonus of almost 180,000, breaking six figures. This amount is quite exaggerated for people like him and his senior who joined the scientific research project midway.
He had estimated his bonus before, and it seemed that he and his senior sister could get a total bonus of just over 100,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, the final result almost doubled.
Of course, this bonus is nothing to a material project with a market of over a billion or even billions.
If he could participate in this project from the beginning, the bonus could be more than doubled.
But after all, he joined halfway, and he was not a member of the scientific research team. To be able to receive a bonus of hundreds of thousands, it can be said that Chen Zhengping attached great importance to his contribution. The calculation of the bonus should be based on the maximum contribution value.
There is no such thing as ordinary professors or tutors who secretly deduct bonuses from members, or even subsidize some money privately.
However, his mentor Chen Zhengping will not lose. Not only will he not lose, he can even make a lot of money. Relying on the tungsten diselenide project, he has a probability of more than 90% to obtain the National Science and Technology Award from China.
prize.
As long as you get the National Science and Technology Award, no matter which class you are in, the bonus can exceed 2 million.
If you can go up one level and get the country's highest technology award, the bonus can exceed 5 million, and the probability of getting it is actually not low, it can exceed 60%.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because tungsten diselenide, a low-dimensional material, is highly effective, it has good physical, chemical and electrical properties and can be widely used in energy storage.
In the fields of batteries, lubrication, semiconductors, photovoltaics, aerospace, aviation, military, national defense and other fields.
At present, more than 80% of domestic tungsten diselenide relies on imports. If it can be produced independently, it will definitely break the foreign monopoly and even be exported in reverse.
As for the bonus of hundreds of thousands he received, it was just a drop in the bucket for the entire project.
After all, his joining is undoubtedly important to the tungsten diselenide project.
Without his analysis, the instructor Chen Zhengping would have simply given up on this long-delayed project at the beginning of this year.
Without a mathematical model, the collapse and roll-up effects caused by van der Waals forces when tungsten diselenide is laid out will not be easily solved. This project may take another year and a half to complete.
Moreover, Xu Chuan is certain that the yield rate of tungsten diselenide cannot reach more than 93%. Based on his experience, it is around 90%.
The yield rate of 93% is extremely exaggerated for a low-dimensional material such as tungsten diselenide.
Xu Chuan remembered that when he first developed superconducting materials, they were also low-dimensional materials, but the yield was only about 80%. Later, he asked a Philippine Prize-winning mathematician from Princeton to help him create a mathematical model, and with the help of
Princeton's supercomputer has only increased the yield rate to about 97%, which shows the importance of mathematical models in materials research and development.

ps: Let me report on my status. After taking medicine for two or three days, my body temperature has stabilized and dropped back to about 37.7 or 8 degrees. However, my physical and mental status have gotten worse. I feel sick and uncomfortable, but I guess.
It should be past its peak, and it should start to gradually recover tomorrow. I tested it myself with the antigen, and the red bar is a little weaker. I hope it will be better soon.
Everyone, please pay attention and don’t get caught. This thing is really more uncomfortable than a serious cold. Those who talk about a small cold are really nonsense, especially since the Chinese New Year is approaching. The elderly and children at home may not be able to withstand it. Remember to prepare some medicine.
, spend one or two hundred dollars to be prepared.
