I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 381 Zeno's Turtle

Qin Ke looked at the door of the classroom, and saw a 27-year-old young man smiling at him.

This young man was dressed in a casual suit, formal but not serious, with short haircut, looking very capable.

Qin Ke said unexpectedly: "Professor Chen, are you looking for me?"

He did know Chen Licheng. The first time he met was in the online academic live broadcast room when he was a sophomore in high school. Chen Licheng, who was still a PhD student at MIT at the time, connected with him and kindly invited Qin Ke to join his scientific research team.The second is that more than two weeks ago, Vice President Gu asked him to go to the round table conference room for a meeting. At that time, Chen Licheng was also among the professors attending the meeting. The two had a brief chat. Only then did Qin Ke know that Chen Licheng had returned to China And as an associate professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Kiyoki University, but the class has not yet started.

Chen Licheng walked in and said with a smile: "You don't need to call me Professor Chen, you just said it last time, just call me senior. Don't disturb your class, right?"

Chen Licheng released his intimacy and kindness, and Qin Ke would not refuse. He also had a good impression of this bright and capable senior: "It's just a break between classes, why is Senior Chen looking for me? Why don't we go out and chat?"

"Okay, I'll just interrupt you for a few minutes." Chen Licheng smiled and said to Ning Qingyun who stood up next to him: "Xiao Ning, don't you mind borrowing your boyfriend for a few minutes? Don't worry, I'm not trying to introduce other girls Get to know him."

A few words made Ning Qingyun blush, she was not good at talking to strange boys, let alone joking with them, and Chen Licheng is a professor-level teacher, she is not easy to roll her eyes, He had no choice but to look at Qin Ke for help.

Qin Ke smiled and said: "Senior Chen is really impeccable in his work. He even considered the slightest possibility. He is indeed a top talent specially introduced by the country. This kind of scientific research attitude is worthy of our juniors and girls to study hard."

Chen Licheng laughed and patted Qin Ke on the shoulder: "You are so good at talking, no wonder some people say that even if you don't engage in scientific research, you will have a smooth path to politics."

The two talked and walked, but they attracted a lot of curious eyes.

When he came to the secluded part of the corridor, Chen Licheng cut to the chase: "Junior Qin Ke, this time the senior encountered a problem in a scientific research project, and I would like to ask for your help."

Qin Ke asked strangely: "Senior Chen, you can't solve the problem?"

Chen Licheng shook his head bitterly: "If I hadn't encountered a difficult hurdle that caused the project to almost stagnate, I wouldn't have the cheek to bother you. I know you still have the project that Polignac conjectured to do , There are usually many courses...Of course, I will not ask you to join my team, just as foreign aid, if you can provide some help or ideas."

Seeing that Chen Licheng couldn't hide the worry on his brows, Qin Ke knew that he was telling the truth, so he became curious.

For a person like him who loves mathematics, he can't help but be eager to try when he finds a problem that can actually stop a very high-level associate professor.

"My level is not as good as the senior's. If the senior needs my help and advice, I can try my best."

Chen Licheng was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "Whether it's successful or not, this time I, the senior, owe you a favor. Well, you know, this is the first scientific research project I've taken on, and it's not good. Ask other professors for advice...otherwise it will be a joke."

Qin Ke understood in seconds that Chen Licheng came back with a halo, which would naturally attract the attention of many professors. If he asked his colleagues for help for the first project, it would indeed be a great embarrassment.

But Qin Ke was different. Chen Licheng called him "Junior Qin" in front of others before.
Chen Licheng's frank trust and intimacy also made Qin Ke feel very comfortable, probably this is also Chen Licheng's charm, a little proud, but open-minded.

"No problem, Senior Chen, just tell me when is the right time to go to your laboratory?"

Seeing Qin Ke being so forthright, Chen Licheng also liked Qin Ke greatly.This Junior Qin is more popular than many professors in the school, and he is indeed very likable.

"If it's convenient, I'll treat you and Xiao Ning to dinner at noon, and then go to my laboratory together?"

"Let me invite you for lunch, and treat it as a catch-up feast for Senior Chen."

"Hey, don't, don't, it should be me, the senior, who treats you to welcome you and Xiao Ning to Qingmu University, so it's decided."

……

After lunch, Qin Ke asked Ning Qingyun to go back to study in the study room first, and followed Chen Licheng to the research room.

Although Chen Licheng also invited Ning Qingyun, Qin Ke knew that this scientific research project was too important to Chen Licheng, and it was inappropriate for Ning Qingyun to follow.

Chen Licheng saw it in his eyes and appreciated it even more in his heart.

This kid is simply too good at being a man and doing things, but it's a pity that he can't be pulled into his research team, otherwise he will definitely become his most important general.

——Chen Licheng still has self-knowledge. Although his Schrödinger equation is very important and difficult, it still has a gap compared to the world-renowned problem of Polignac's conjecture. Qin Ke is already doing it with Ning Qingyun How could he join his team if he wanted to conquer Polignac's conjecture?
"By the way, which direction did Senior Chen specialize in at MIT?"

"My main direction is mathematical physics, and my second direction is functional analysis."

The so-called mathematical physics is a mathematical theory and mathematical method aimed at studying physical problems. It belongs to an important branch of mathematics. It describes physical phenomena by establishing mathematical models and using mathematical language. Simply put, it uses mathematical methods to describe physical phenomena. Interpret and predict physical phenomena.

Functional analysis is also an important branch of mathematics. It can be regarded as analytic geometry and mathematical analysis of infinite-dimensional vector spaces. It is widely used in mathematical physics equations, probability theory, and computational mathematics.

Mathematical physics + functional analysis is indeed a golden combination.

Qin Ke said with a smile: "Then I guess, Senior Chen, most of your research topics are in the direction of mathematics and physics."

"You guessed it, my subject is to study the Schrödinger equation. Do you understand the Schrödinger equation? The most important equation in quantum mechanics."

Qin Ke has mastered the theoretical knowledge of the undergraduate physics department, so how could he not know the Schrödinger equation?It is a non-relativistic wave equation, which is used to reflect the law describing the state of microscopic particles changing with time.

The status of Schrödinger's equation in quantum mechanics is the same as that of Newton's law for classical mechanics, and it is one of the basic assumptions of quantum mechanics.

However, Qin Ke still humbly said that he only heard the general idea and didn't know the details.

Chen Licheng was not surprised either.To be honest, Qin Ke's achievements in physics are relatively few, that is, a full-score champion of IPhO, which is only in the category of high school physics. Compared with the scientific research achievements in mathematics and even computers, it can be ignored.

Chen Licheng patiently explained the Schrödinger equation to Qin Ke, and said: "Currently, our team has encountered difficulties in studying the regular solution of the steady-state Schrödinger equation—that is, the solution problem under the condition of mass constraints. The 'steady-state form' mentioned here refers to the situation of two states of matter, because there are two mass constraints, it becomes more difficult and complicated to prove the existence of the solution."

During the conversation, the two had arrived at Chen Licheng's research room.

Chen Licheng's laboratory is in the southeast of the scientific research center. The mathematics laboratory is the easiest to prepare. It only needs desks, chairs, blackboards, and whiteboard manuscript paper. It doesn't even need experimental equipment, so his laboratory is obviously relatively spacious, and there is even a bathroom. A room and a separate lunch break room are convenient for the research team to take a lunch break—of course, it is more convenient to sleep directly here after staying up all night.

The five doctoral students in Chen Licheng's team were still blushing, and the quarrel could be heard from a distance.

Chen Licheng said helplessly: "We've been stuck in this link for almost a month, and everyone is a little angry. Don't be offended if anyone speaks more aggressively later. People who are engaged in mathematics have somewhat awkward personalities. Oh, of course, Brother Qin is an exception, you have a cheerful personality and are not prone to depression, ha, mathematicians are said to be more prone to depression than writers."

Qin Ke nodded with a smile. The two of them opened the door and walked in. They saw a few doctoral students who were dressed casually and hadn't even combed their hair. They were pointing at the mathematical formulas on the whiteboard and arguing.

Seeing that it was Chen Licheng, the doctoral students stopped arguing and greeted each other: "Professor Chen."

It can be seen that Chen Licheng's prestige in the team is still very high.

The eyes of several doctoral students soon fell on Qin Ke again, with surprise, curiosity, and doubt.

Chen Licheng introduced: "This is Junior Qin Ke, I believe everyone has heard of his name, right?"

A narrow-eyed doctoral student was the first to react, and said enthusiastically: "So it's Junior Brother Qin Ke, I've heard of your name a long time ago, and my sister admires you very much! By the way, I heard that you solved the twin prime number conjecture? What the hell? Is there such a thing?"

Qin Ke said with a smile: "I don't care if there is such a thing, and the school doesn't understand it. It needs to be recognized by the international mathematics community."

"So the rumors are true? It's true that the Yangtze River is pushing the waves forward. I admire and admire. My surname is Hua, and my name is Hua Hong, which is similar to 'Hua Xiong'. But I am 'Hong' from 'Hong Liu', not by Guan Yu. The one chopped off by warm wine."

The rest of the doctoral students were either silent or introduced themselves. After the simple greeting, Qin Ke said with a smile: "I happened to meet Senior Chen at lunch today, and I was also very interested in hearing him mention your subject, so I asked him to bring it to you. I came to see and see, and Senior Chen took good care of me, so I can stand here. Don't dislike me, a freshman physics student, and come to join in the fun."

These words were seven points true and three points false, which immediately maintained Chen Licheng's authority in the team.

Chen Licheng felt even more moved.

This junior is really good at life.Chen Licheng made a decision this time, no matter whether Qin Ke could help or not, at least for this sentence, he had to remember Qin Ke's favor.

"Junior Qin has a lot of experience in partial differential equations, and I also want to brainstorm, so I let him take a look." Chen Licheng explained a few sentences, and he took a few more pages and handed them to Qin Ke: "This is what we are currently encountering. to the bottleneck part."

The calculation and demonstration process of this part is not very long, and the total is only about five pages, because it only discusses the situation of both intra-species and inter-species attraction.

Qin Ke looked through it quietly, and the people around him also stared at his expression.

The doctoral students came to understand that Qin Ke was a foreign aid!

But this Qin Ke is only a freshman, no matter how good he is in number theory, it is impossible for him to be equally proficient in partial differential equations, right?This is a difficult problem that several of their doctoral students, together with MIT's overseas returnees and Professor Chen Licheng, can't solve!

Some of them didn’t understand that Qin Ke was a doctoral student with foreign aid, and they were a little displeased with Qin Ke’s results, but they thought that this part was just a failed and problematic content, and it was not the team’s scientific research results, and it was given to Qin Ke by Chen Licheng. Yes, they just frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Qin Ke read it very quickly. He read the five pages full of complex calculation formulas and demonstration processes in 3 minutes. After reading, he put down the manuscript paper, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen and meditated I started writing slowly.

"???"

Including Chen Licheng, everyone had question marks on their faces.

3 minutes, can you really read the contents of so many pages of manuscript paper?This is not a hydrology novel, but a very complicated and difficult mathematical formula, which may not be understood by an ordinary graduate student in mathematics!
They looked at the formula written by Qin Ke suspiciously, and found that Qin Ke's writing was very fragmented and scattered. They just copied the most critical formula from a few pages of manuscript paper—the excerpt was not accurate, it should be said silently wrote it out.

Good guy, can you write it silently after reading it quickly?
Under everyone's surprised and puzzled eyes, Qin Ke looked at these patterns for a while, then suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Seniors, you should know about 'Zeno's Tortoise'?"
