I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 505 Computational materials science will flourish in their hands
It was Professor Elon Lindenstrauss who called.

Qin Ke was surprised, because these foreign professors generally do not like to make international calls.Compared with direct voice conversations, they prefer text communication through emails, which will not easily disturb other people's normal life.

"Professor Linden Strauss, good afternoon, I'm Ke Qin."

Professor Linden-Strauss's familiar English with an Israeli accent came from the other end of the phone: "Qin Ke, we will have a chance to meet again next month."

Qin Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely guessed the reason, but he still asked cautiously: "Professor, you mean..."

Professor Linden-Strauss smiled and said: "August 8th is the mid-term academic exchange meeting of the American Mathematical Society. It is estimated that you and Ning Qingyun will receive a formal notice and invitation letter to attend the meeting soon, because it is on Three 12 minutes ago, the American Mathematical Society decided to award you both the Cole Prize in Number Theory this year through a collective vote of its members. Remember to check your mailbox, and I suggest that you both prepare your acceptance speeches.”

Qin Ke was both surprised and delighted. He was not surprised to get the Cole Prize. Basically, after receiving the Mathematics Breakthrough Prize, everyone knew that this year's Cole Prize in Number Theory must belong to him, but he did not expect that Ning Qingyun We also won a prize!
This is ten times happier than him winning the award himself!
Ning Qingyun's mathematics can be said to have been cultivated by him himself. This kind of girl who watched him become a better and better mathematician, and adjusted... ahem, and watched her in some aspects A little concession to the bottom line can also give Qin Ke a sense of accomplishment.

"Is it a bit of a surprise?" Seeing that Qin Ke didn't speak, Professor Linden-Strauss guessed the surprise on the phone, and said with a narrow smile:

"Each session of the Cole Prize in Number Theory has a maximum of two places. Originally, you had the most votes, and it was only intended to be awarded to you, but Professor Faltings suggested, 'Since there are two places, we can prove it together with Qin Ke. Polignac's conjecture, Zhou's conjecture and other conjectures, and Ning Qingyun, who jointly created the fourth-order transformation method of lime number theory and the hypergeometric mapping method of lime number theory, why can't she win the award? She has the second most votes Yu Qinke', and then more than a dozen professors stood up and seconded the proposal, including the chairman of the IMO, Jeff Rowland, all agreed with Professor Faltings' proposal, so a second collective vote was held, and the final result was As you can see."

"Old Mr. Faltings..." Qin Ke's heart warmed up. This old gentleman is really a nobleman of him and Ning Qingyun. Neither the Breakthrough Award nor this year's Cole Number Theory Award will fall on him and Ning Qingyun so easily.

Thinking of another Filipino award boss on the other end of the phone, Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Thank you, Professor Linden-Strauss, I must have your vote and support."

"You're welcome, Faltins and I have the same idea. I hope that you two can really solve the mystery of Riemann's conjecture in the future, and let us see the ultimate beauty of mathematics."

Qin Ke could hear the truth from Professor Linden-Strauss, and couldn't help but lament the purity of these mathematicians.It is probably because they are so obsessed with mathematics that they can achieve world-renowned academic achievements and have such a high international reputation.

"We will definitely work hard."

Qin Ke chatted with Professor Linden-Strauss for a few minutes. He just hung up the phone and before he could tell Ning Qingyun the good news, the phone rang again.

The person who called this time was also a big boss, but not a big boss in the academic world, but a real big boss in Xia Guo's education circle.

Qin Ke said with a smile: "Morning, Uncle Chen. I said why the magpies outside the window kept barking today. It turned out that Uncle Chen called to express condolences to me."

"Sycophant, your mouth...it's a waste if you don't take an official career." Uncle Chen shook his head with a smile: "By the way, Qin Ke, I just received a new piece of news, which is great news, can you guess it? What's the news?"

Qin Ke blinked: "Uncle Chen, you called me to chat with me in your busy schedule. This is the best news. This treatment, tsk tsk, I don't know how many people will envy and hate it. Jealous."

"You brat, you can talk nonsense. Do you think other people are as heartless as you? Seeing my call will only make them extremely nervous." Uncle Chen said with emotion in his tone.

In fact, big people like Uncle Chen basically have a deep capital, full of majesty, and their emotions are invisible. Their status determines that they cannot express their emotions at will like ordinary people.Being high and cold often brings more loneliness and defense.

Even a shameless guy like Qin Ke, who seems to be smooth and sophisticated, but retains the innocence and passion of a student, and his relationship with him is not restricted by superiors and subordinates. The friendship between each other is irreversible, really like an uncle and a nephew .

That's why Uncle Chen showed such a friendly side in front of Qin Ke.

Qin Ke smiled and said, "That's right, who told you to be my Uncle Chen? If it wasn't for Uncle Chen, I wouldn't be so heartless."

The intimacy revealed by these words made the corners of Uncle Chen's mouth curl up: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, I received the news that you and Ning Qingyun won the Cole Number Theory Award at the same time!"

Qin Ke's actor possessed him, and his tone was extremely pleasant: "Thank you Uncle Chen! I'm so happy. If it weren't for Uncle Chen's strong support, how could juniors like Qingyun and I win such an award?"

Qin Ke's words were half-truth and half-false, and it was a bit exaggerated, but his gratitude to Uncle Chen was true. Recently, more than a dozen internationally famous mathematicians, including Mr. Qiu, have spoken out one after another, publicly praising him And Ning Qingyun, this must be the "momentum" arranged by Uncle Chen.

This time, Ning Qingjun, whose strength has not reached the top level, unexpectedly won the Cole Number Theory Award, which is also inseparable from such "momentum". Otherwise, even if old Mr. Faltings proposed, it may not be passed in the voting .

"Don't put gold on your uncle's face anymore. Your academic achievements are the key to winning awards." Uncle Chen pretended to be unhappy, but he was actually in a very good mood. Both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were students. The achievement is also a bright achievement for Uncle Chen.He smiled and sighed:
"A few years ago, when Professor Zhang Yitang, a Xia-born mathematician, won the Cole Prize in Number Theory, I sighed that it would be great if mathematicians born and bred in Xia could win such an award. I didn't expect ten years to come. You two did it! A blank in our Xia Guo International Mathematics Award has been filled in again. You two must continue to work hard, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and strive to come back with a Fields Medal next year, then you will truly be able to Let our Xia country mathematics community feel proud internationally."

Uncle Chen explained the matter of going abroad again, saying that everything will be arranged, and there is no need to worry about safety issues, just go and win the prize at ease.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ke ran downstairs to find Ning Qingyun.The girl was preparing pizza for dinner with Qin Xiaoke who came back from school in the kitchen.

Hearing the news, Ning Qingyun still couldn't believe it.

"I... I also won the Cole Prize in Number Theory?"

Ning Qingyun still has self-knowledge. Compared with many mathematicians in the world, his mathematics level is still far behind. He just barely keeps up with Qin Ke in the direction of number theory.

"Of course, you have to be confident. At least you are no worse than any other mathematician in the direction of our joint research on mathematics. To put it a bit exaggerated, the world can cooperate with me on mathematics research, and can respect me You are the only one who will be of great help."

Qin Ke really likes to do scientific research together with his family, Xiaobaicai. Now the two almost have the same heart, they can communicate with each other with just one eye, and their cooperation is very tacit, and their personalities and academic styles are just complementary.

Not to mention, just the proof of Polignac's conjecture and the perfection of the two lime number theory processing methods, without Ning Qingyun's help, Qin Ke would have spent at least a year or two more time and energy.

Even if Qin Ke said so, Ning Qingyun was still a little dizzy. She never thought that she would win the Mathematics Breakthrough Award and the Cole Number Theory Award, which were awards that even her father could not get - of course, Her father, Ning Zongxun, is better at physics, and has been engaged in research on important topics that need to be kept strictly confidential for a long time. It is impossible to make the results public, and naturally he cannot win any international or even domestic awards.

The girl looked at Qin Ke with soft eyes, full of water waves. If Qin Ke hadn't been driving her along the road of mathematics, it would have been extremely difficult for her to reach such a height.

If it wasn't for Qin Xiaoke who was beside her, she would have wanted to kiss Qin Ke forgetfully.

Qin Xiaoke asked curiously and pleasantly: "Brother, sister Ning, what is the reason for this Cole Number Theory Award? Is it better than the Mathematical Breakthrough Award you won last time?"

Qin Ke nodded and said: "The bonus is much less, only one hundred thousand dollars, but it has a longer history, and its status and reputation in the international mathematics community is still slightly better than the mathematics breakthrough award."

The Cole Prize is divided into the Algebra Prize and the Number Theory Prize, which are held every three years, but they will not be selected at the same time, but a Cole Prize in Number Theory and a Cole Prize in Algebra.

Speaking of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, they were lucky. It just so happened that this year they were selected for the Cole Prize in Number Theory, and they achieved the most dazzling achievements in number theory this year. Maybe get the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

In order to celebrate this award, the three of them opened a bottle of champagne for dinner, and the result was also very gratifying. Both girls were [-] to [-] percent drunk. Qin Xiaoke went back to sleep, and Qin Ke brought Ning Qingyun back In the master bedroom on the second floor, I really enjoyed the world of two people.

……

Winning the Cole Prize in Number Theory made Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun a little excited, and their enthusiasm for scientific research was high. The mathematical modeling work of "coating research on carbon nanotube fibers" produced results in only about six days.

The final deduced results show that titanium dioxide and doped platinum dioxide as coating materials will not affect the original electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotube fibers, and can greatly improve their durability and flame retardancy.

Its durability is manifested in that it can withstand more than 2500 washing experiments and more than 300 days of high-intensity ray irradiation experiments, and its flame retardant performance is even more remarkable, and it can withstand open flame burning for up to 8 hours without being ignited , and can also maintain the overall structure without deformation.

This has far exceeded the passing line requirements of the subject!
Because Professor He Liangfu was still busy with the final report of the project "Improvement of Relaxor Ferroelectric Thin Film Materials", Qin Ke asked Ning Qingyun to directly contact Tian Tianjiao of the research group.

Although Tian Tianjiao looks ordinary and rich, she is a woman after all. Qin Ke usually leaves such contact with women to Ning Qingyun.

Recently, Tian Tianjiao led the research team to conduct arduous scientific research experiments for more than a month, because Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were only busy with the mathematical modeling of the topic of "improvement of relaxor ferroelectric thin film materials" until six days ago. When she asked her for the latest project materials, Tian Tianjiao pretended to be dissatisfied and complained, "You two juniors and younger sisters, you can't favor one another like this."

She knew that the "Improvement of Relaxor Ferroelectric Thin Film Materials" research group had achieved unexpected excellent results, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's "Computational Materials Science" had played a key role, so she was already anxious I am looking forward to the "rescue" of this pair of god-student couples.

——As for her always looking down on computational materials science?Now she just wants to shout "True Fragrance Theorem is true and I can't be deceived".

But even if she overestimated these two academic gods, she never expected that it took only six days for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to send the deduction results of mathematical modeling to her mailbox.

When Tian Tianjiao received a call from Ning Qingjun, the postdoctorate who was so busy and dizzy said subconsciously: "So fast? Is it the result of the first version of the deduction? How far is it from the qualified line of the project?"

Ning Qingyun said softly: "Judging from the deduction results of the mathematical model, it has exceeded the passing line of the project. Specifically, Team Leader Tian needs to verify it through experiments..."

Tian Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had heard it wrong, she asked again, and got Ning Qingyun's affirmative answer, and said excitedly: "I will arrange for an experimental verification immediately! You wait for my good news!"

She quickly stopped what she was doing, ran to the computer and opened the mailbox, and when she saw the results of the deduction, her eyes widened, and it took a while before she could say: "Excellent... Computational materials science, I'm afraid it will be in their hands." flourished.”

……

Before the end of July, Professor He Liangfu's two materials science projects were completed, and both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun felt relaxed.That's a month sooner than originally expected!

Qin Ke even had time to go back to school to participate in two friendly matches of the school basketball team, to get rid of his basketball addiction.

That night, Qin Ke sat lazily on the sofa in the lobby, slowly flipping through the travel guide.

Ning Qingjun also entered a period of relaxation and rest, watching a copy of Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" next to him, while Qin Xiaoke played a rare video game.

Qin Ke looked at it and thought: "The location of this award should be the Berkeley campus of the University of California. It is only [-] kilometers away from the Ames Research Center that won the Mathematical Breakthrough Award last time. However, there are many scenic spots in the East Bay of San Francisco. By the way, the Golden State Warriors are also in the East Bay, do you want to visit the Warriors' club? It would be best if there is a game..."

Of course, watching the live NBA game in the United States, Qin Ke just thought about it casually. If he really wanted to bring it up, Chen Ming, who was in charge of protecting the two of them, would probably go crazy.

"Brother, you guys are going abroad for eight days..." Qin Xiaoke put down his handle, looked at Qin Ke pitifully, and almost wrote "I'm going too" on his face.

Qin Ke spread his hands: "Your English is not good, and you can't understand it even if you go there."

"But I want to see you and Sister Ning stand on the podium with my own eyes, and I can take pictures for you!" Qin Xiaoke worked hard to fight for it. She hasn't been abroad for a long time, let alone the United States.

"No, you can live with Sister Fang Yongtang when the time comes, or go back to Yuanzhou directly. You are going to attend military training at Yingyuan Private High School at the end of August, so you have to go back to Yuanzhou early."

Qin Xiaoke's grades in the senior high school entrance examination were very good, she was sixth in the whole grade, which was better than Qin Ke expected. For this reason, Qin Ke specially rewarded her and took her to see a movie.As for filling in the application form, Qin Xiaoke didn't worry about it at all. Her admission to Yingyuan Private High School had been decided long ago.

"Sister Ning..." Qin Xiaoke looked at Ning Qingyun tearfully.

However, Ning Qingjun knew that every time he and Qin Ke went abroad, the country had to make a lot of arrangements to prevent accidents. Qin Xiaoke might not be safe if he went with him, but it would also increase the burden on the country. He could only shake his head and said, "Xiao Ke Good boy, we will go together for eight days. If you don’t want to go back to Yuanzhou so early, you can stay here in the capital. If you want to go out and play, come with us to Jizhou to visit Academician Wang next week, okay?”
