After coming out of the Xianlin campus, Xu Chuan returned to Nanjing University.
I opened the computer and created a document to record some of today's arrangements and plans, as well as some things I learned at the project base.
Although his memory is very good, he will rarely forget things he has read and understood. But a good memory is not as good as a bad writing. He has too many things to be responsible for, and it is normal to forget some things sometimes when he is busy.
At this time, he needs a document to assist him.
And every year, Xu Chuan will re-build a plan. In addition to sorting out the goals completed in the past year, new directions and goals will also be added.
In the eyes of others, he can produce Nobel Prize-level results almost every year, but most of these results are just resting on his laurels.
In addition to achievements in mathematics, whether it is artificial SEI films, sterile neutrinos, or nuclear waste power generation technology, they are all things brought back from rebirth.
Of course, his study of mathematics in this life also brought him great gains.
Not to mention achievements in the field of pure mathematics, the staged achievements of Xu-Hodge theorem and NS equation are both top-notch.
But for him, the biggest gain is the perfect integration of mathematical physics in the fields of high-energy physics and particle physics, and the ability to use mathematics to deeply study physical particles.
In addition, there is also computational chemistry modeling, which is also a path he has reopened in his life.
Although it has just begun, Xu Chuan believes that this path will never disappoint him. The potential of computational chemistry is definitely far beyond the imagination of the world.
To be honest, he is quite satisfied with his current situation. At least he has achieved his initial goal of choosing mathematics as his major.
It is his dream to perfectly integrate mathematics with other subjects and help other subjects, especially physics, to advance further.
After handling these matters, Xu Chuan opened his mailbox and cleaned up the emails inside.
There are so many people sending him emails every day, and it will be full if it is not cleaned within a week, so he checks his mailbox almost every day or two.
Fortunately, most of the emails can be just scanned and thrown into the trash. The remaining ones that are of interest can be left or replied to, which does not take much time.
After browsing through the emails in his mail every day, not deleting them but replying to them usefully, Xu Chuan's eyes finally fell on yesterday's email.
When he went to the controllable nuclear fusion base, both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering sent him an email.
Xu Chuan clicked on it and looked at it. It was about the selection of academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering this year. In the email, both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering informed him that they would participate in the selection of academicians this year.
Commonly known as: "Academician Candidate!"
Of course, it is still unknown whether it can be rated.
There was no guarantee in the email. It only informed him that he had entered the academician candidate list.
After all, there are so many people participating in the selection of academicians every year, and there are only a few places in each department, so the competition must be very high.
Regarding the selection of academicians, he definitely has some ideas.
After all, he has won the Nobel Prize and the Philippine Prize. Domestic academicians, at least academicians of the Academy of Sciences, will definitely be able to touch it, even if he is so young.
As for whether you can get it safely, to be honest, it should be no problem to get an academician.
After all, the bonuses from the Nobel Prize and the Philippine Prize are quite large. No matter how young you are, you cannot ignore these two. Moreover, no matter what the voices of the domestic public and academic circles say, you must consider whether it is right.
If the winners of the Nobel Prize and the Philippine Prize cannot get academicianship, public opinion will definitely explode.
What Xu Chuan didn't expect was that someone from the Engineering Academy also recommended him.
After all, his main scientific research results are basically theoretical at present. Even the nuclear waste reuse technology was only accepted in June or July this year.
Logically speaking, you should have to wait until the next academician selection before anyone can recommend you.
This is good, candidates from the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering are all accepted.
As for receiving academicians from both academies at the same time, Xu Chuan also fantasized about it, but he thought it was unlikely.
Although it is not true that there are no academicians of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, they were all obtained in different years. It is a bit unnatural to receive academicians of both academies in the same year or the first year.
So after Xu Chuan thought about it, he stopped dreaming.
He should be able to become an academician of the Academy of Sciences this year. After the controllable nuclear fusion project is completed, or after the nuclear waste reuse technology has been fermented for a period of time, he should be able to become an academician of the Academy of Engineering.
It is estimated that it will be before the age of thirty.
To be honest, this is amazing enough.
Under the age of thirty, he was directly promoted to academician of the two academies, and his reputation would frighten a large number of people to death.
After thinking happily for a while, Xu Chuan sent an email to thank the two academies and recommenders, and then returned his attention to email processing.
After spending more than ten minutes, he finally dealt with the emails that had accumulated over the past few days.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Xu Chuan stared at the ceiling.
At present, the controllable nuclear fusion project has been launched. Although there is full support from the country, it is not that easy to start from scratch and complete the construction.
Compared with the basic construction of the project, the core fusion reactor is the real difficulty.
Especially this time, what he used was not a conventional tokamak or stellarator device, but a composite device that he later redesigned at Princeton.
This is a new and unknown route for the current field of controllable nuclear fusion, and no one can guarantee that it will be correct.
At this point, even Xu Chuan himself was not sure that this route would be successful.
It can only be said that in the future, composite devices have gradually entered the mainstream, and the composite device that combines the advantages of tokamak, stellarator and hemispheric bed has greater advantages than other separate devices.
But even so, there are still many problems that need to be solved along the way.
As for now, the most important thing is to develop superconducting materials first.
"Professor, the results of this year's Nobel Prize are out, but unfortunately you are not among them. But the winner is related to you."
In the office, Xu Chuan was making arrangements when Amelia's naughty and playful voice sounded in his ears.
When he came back to his senses, he looked over. Amelia squinted her eyes and smiled like a little fox:
"This year's Nobel Prize went to Swiss astrophysicists Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, and to an astrophysics professor from New Zealand, Vogt Armstrong."
"The first two were awarded for the first discovery of an extrasolar planet '51 Pegasus b'er in 1955."
"The latter is because in 2017, using the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, we accurately locked a star named 'TRAPPIST-1'."
"And accurately determine the planetary situation in this star system, and determine that there is a highly similar Earth-like planet in the 'TRAPPIST-1' star system."
The discovery of 51 Pegasi b is a milestone in astronomy. It allows scientists to realize that giant planets may also exist in short-period orbits.
The discovery of the 'TRAPPIST-1' star system and high-Earth-like planets has given people hope in the universe. In the future, this may be mankind's second home star. After all, it is not far from the earth, only two stars away.
A distance of more than ten light years.
The two achievements, separated by more than sixty years, were awarded together by the judges of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which can be called a great testimony.
For Xu Chuan, although he does not have a share in this year's Nobel Prize, his presence in it cannot be underestimated.
Because this is the second Nobel Prize in Physics for the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.
One achievement resulted in two Nobel Prizes in Physics, and they were two years in a row. This is quite shocking even for the entire physics community, and even the entire scientific community.
If one Nobel Prize is enough for major universities to develop corresponding courses, then the emergence of a second Nobel Prize will directly push this achievement into one of the most popular fields.
As the founder of this achievement, his reputation will naturally be promoted.
Of course, from another perspective, there are not many important results in cutting-edge theoretical physics.
Cutting-edge physics is stagnating, which is almost acquiescence among many physicists.
If this were not the case, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would not award the Nobel Prize in Physics to the same set of theories two consecutive years.
Although it is indeed important.
But for the Nobel Prize, this is not a good thing.
As Xu Chuan expected, the announcement of the Nobel Prize in October caused a sensation in the physics community.
The expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem once again won the Nobel Prize in Physics, turning this tool into a hen that lays golden eggs in the eyes of all physicists, arousing the interest and discussion of countless people.
[This year’s physics prize was awarded to astronomy again.]
[Haha, I was right. I speculated before that the alien planet that looks 90% similar to the Earth might win the Nobel Prize, and it really did!]
[I think Professor Xu is even more awesome! He won two Nobel Prizes in Physics for a mathematical achievement, which is simply terrifying.]
[Indeed, this achievement is too exaggerated. It has won the Nobel Prize for two consecutive years, which is really impressive!]
[It’s too late to learn now, maybe there will be a chance to win another Nobel Prize? 】
[The person above said there is actually nothing wrong with it. At the 2018 International Mathematics Conference, Professor Xu once said that this set of mathematical methods may be used to calculate high-dimensional spaces. If someone can do it, he will definitely win another Nobel Prize. 】
[Tsk, tsk, at least three Nobel Prizes for one achievement, scary! 】
With the announcement of the Nobel Prize, discussions began in major professional forums and websites.
It must be said that the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem was able to win the second Nobel Prize beyond everyone's expectations.
But this also illustrates the greatness and depth of this achievement.
Many scholars, not just physicists, but even mathematicians, curiously began to study the extended applications of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.
Maybe there is hope that I can win a Nobel Prize?
After all, it has already released two of them, and it is not impossible to release another one.
PS: There is another chapter in the evening. It’s the end of the month. Please vote for me. Dear friends, can you give me three thousand? It’s only six or seven hundred short. (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
