I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 560 Unprecedented four professional degrees!
It was already the morning of March [-]th to set foot on the land of the motherland again, and the footprints of spring had already spread all over the earth, without the severe cold of winter, and more with the unique softness of spring.

After going abroad for nearly a month, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun couldn't help taking a deep breath of the morning air after getting off the plane.

Compared with Deguo, where industrialization has been completed and the results of air control are obvious, the air in a metropolis like Beijing, where there are many people, vehicles, dense buildings, and experiences sandstorms from time to time, is really not that good. It's hard to describe it as "fresh", but this is the motherland after all, and Qin Ke is still in a good mood, feeling like returning to his roots.

And Ning Qingyun, who couldn't hide his fatigue from the long journey, also showed a relaxed smile.

Accompanied by Chen Ming and Chen Lan, the two had just pushed their suitcases to the exit of the international flight, and unexpectedly saw Principal Huang, Vice Principal Gu Bojun and other school leaders, Director Wei Yuanfu of the Department of Mathematics and other department leaders, and The leaders of the school office and the school's publicity office were all waiting in the crowd, and there were also a large number of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other. Although they had been notified in advance that the school would send someone to pick them up, they didn't say that the school leaders would pick them up in person. Seeing the eyes of these reporters shine, they went crazy when they saw them The appearance of taking pictures... the scene is a bit exaggerated, right?
Seeing the two people appear, Principal Huang and Vice Principal Gu were equally moved. Who would have imagined that these two young people who looked a little green in front of them were already among the top young people in the country and even in the world? A pinch of mathematicians?

Principal Huang stepped forward, smiled and shook hands with Qin Ke: "Qin Ke, the journey has been hard. I didn't want reporters to disturb your rest so early, but now is a special period when you need to continue to expand your reputation. I hope that I can interview and report on you as soon as possible, and I ask for your forgiveness and understanding."

Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Principal Huang, you and Principal Gu have so many elders and leaders who came to pick up the plane in person early in the morning. It is a great honor for Qingyun and I. We will fully cooperate with the school's arrangements. Please arrange it."

The words made the school leaders and department leaders feel at ease. Some people felt a little uncomfortable because they went out at the airport in the middle of the night to pick them up. Everyone just thought that these two children are so sensible and have no arrogance. They are really worthy of the school's full support. Push them to the pinnacle of mathematics.

Now that Qin Ke had spoken, Ning Qingyun would naturally not object. The two of them simply tidied up their appearance and accepted brief interviews from various media.

Basically, they are all commonplace questions, such as acceptance speeches, future plans, etc. The most frequently asked question is "Will you major in mathematics in the future or will you major in mathematics and physics as you are now?"

Qin Ke said without hesitation: "As long as we are interested in science and engineering that can contribute to the prosperity of the motherland and the progress of human civilization, not just mathematics and physics, such as chemistry and biology, we will continue to study by ourselves and carry out related subjects. Research."

These highly enlightened and somewhat unexpected words caused the reporters to click tut.

Another reporter asked: "In this way, you will continue to research on new crop seeds? Can you disclose the direction of the species?"

"Currently some research results are already in the process of patent determination, I believe they will be announced soon, and everyone will know by then, thank you."

After conducting the interview for about 10 minutes, the school leaders of Qingmu University came forward and declined other interviews on the grounds that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were tired from the journey. Then President Gu Bojun drove in person, and President Huang sat in the co-pilot to send Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun off. The two returned to school.

The dignified vice-president of Qingmu University, a big shot whom many people fawn over, actually acts as a driver for himself. How could Qin Ke have the nerve to rejoice, and hurriedly said: "Principal Gu, how can I trouble you, why don't I drive?"

Gu Bojun smiled and waved his hands and said: "You have won honor for the country and the school in the international arena. It is nothing if I drive for you. And you are even more tired from the interview just now. Just take a good rest in the car. By the way, there is a reason for not stopping the reporters suddenly this time, please sit down first, and Principal Huang and I will tell you later."

Seeing that he couldn't argue, Qin Ke had to drag Ning Qingyun to the back, while Chen Ming, Chen Lan and others drove behind.

On the way back to Qingmu University, Gu Bojun and President Huang conveyed the spirit of the school meeting to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun respectively.

They didn't expect that the school would treat the Fields Medal with such solemnity, and even mobilized the school's century-old heritage to help them.

"So please cooperate more with the publicity. There will be a press conference in the school auditorium this afternoon. I heard that the superior will arrange a higher-level interview on the weekend. We will wait for the specific notice. Let me know again. Of course, we will also guarantee that it will not affect your normal study and life as much as possible."

Qin Ke thought for a while and said, "There is no problem with the promotion, we will fully cooperate. It is a matter of degree major..."

Principal Gu hurriedly said: "What other ideas do you have about the degree major? Feel free to mention it, but there is no way to omit the process. Then you can take a few minutes to show your face and just go through the motions..."

"It's not a problem in this aspect." Qin Ke's words surprised several people in the car, and even Ning Qingyun looked at Qin Ke with some puzzlement.

Qin Ke rubbed his chin and said "shyly": "I have no objection to getting a master's degree and a doctorate degree in mathematics first. These should both be science degrees, but I have a question. The physics we are studying is also a science degree. Is it time to issue a science degree certificate after graduation? Or take back the old one and issue a new science degree certificate marked with double majors? Not just for undergraduates, but what about master’s and doctoral degrees in the future?”

"This..." The two school leaders looked at each other, but they really didn't have time to think so carefully.

Generally speaking, double degrees are across disciplines, such as science and philosophy, history, economics and the like.

People like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun who are majoring in physics and minoring in mathematics belong to science and can only be regarded as double majors. Normally, they will be issued a degree certificate after graduation, and the names of the double majors will be stated on it.

However, they have already issued a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics to the two of them in advance...

Principal Huang thought about it for a while and said, "This is not a big problem. We will reissue a double-major science degree certificate at that time."

Qin Ke smiled. In fact, he asked this just to lead to the following topic: "But what if Qingyun and I want to minor in material science and biological science? Can we fight for it?"

"A minor in materials science and biological science?"

The two school leaders were stunned again.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's pioneering of computational seed science has caused a sensation in the domestic seed industry. Now the five new tomato seeds they have researched are still hot on the market. A professional degree certificate in biological sciences should be enough. qualified.

In terms of materials science, the fact that they have helped Professor He Liangfu a lot has already spread to the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Materials Science.

Hmm... Biological science is also a science subject, and materials science is an engineering subject. Such an interdisciplinary degree certificate is theoretically no problem.

It's just that no one has ever been able to obtain three professional science degrees at the same time, and also obtain an engineering degree...the operation is quite difficult.

Principal Huang and Gu Bojun exchanged glances. In fact, both of them felt that if they wanted to obtain the degrees of these two minor majors, it would be easier to operate as a graduate student. However, considering that Qin Ke seldom asked for it, Principal Huang finally nodded and said: "No problem, special matters. I will hold a school meeting to discuss at that time. There should be no problem in the process. After the end of the second semester of your sophomore year, you will participate in two more thesis defenses. By then, the Bachelor of Science degree will be combined with the Bachelor of Engineering degree. Issued."

"Thank you Principal Huang, Principal Gu!"

Qin Ke smiled and thanked.

The car stopped downstairs in the girls' dormitory. Qin Ke politely declined Principal Gu's offer to send him back downstairs to the boys' dormitory, saying that he would just walk back.

The two school leaders thought that the young couple had something private to say, and they didn't care, so they drove away with a smile.

"Qin Xiaoke, why did you find a school to get two minor degrees?" Ning Qingyun was a little puzzled, she thought it would be nice to have a double major in mathematics and physics.

"In the future, we will continue to develop and do projects in the direction of materials science and biological science. With an undergraduate professional degree in hand, it seems that we are confident and confident. It will be more convenient for us to obtain the corresponding master's degree and doctorate degree in the future." Qin Kewen explained aloud.

He knew in his heart that sooner or later both of them would reach the peak in mathematics. Once they won the Fields Medal, the sense of accomplishment that mathematics could bring to them would become less and less. Apart from "play", mathematics will mainly be used as an auxiliary tool for other subjects.

The ultimate goal of the two is to change society and benefit mankind through technology, so scientific research and invention will be the main direction of attack in the future, such as the study of quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics of NS equations, and energy science, such as the combination of physical materials and chemical materials. Science, such as continuing to develop in the direction of plant breeding to completely solve the food crisis, such as developing in the direction of human cytology, and finally solving the mystery of human aging.

So with the opportunity to earn these professional degrees, why not get them?

Qin Ke said with a smile and said: "Besides, there should never be anyone like us in history who can get four professional degrees and two majors. I don't think it is particularly fulfilling to create history like this. Well? Our undergraduate degree is only two years, if we don’t do some special deeds, how can we be worthy of the two years of undergraduate time that we have less than others?”

Ning Qingyun thinks so too, although they will definitely set up their own laboratories and research institutes in the future, degrees and other qualifications are of little significance to people like them who don't need to search for jobs everywhere, but degrees are important to their professional ability after all. Certainly, it is easier to engage in research on related topics.At least it won't be like it is now, so many people are surprised and unbelievable by the research on seeds, thinking that they are "not doing their job properly".

Moreover, Qin Ke's words of "making the undergraduate experience more meaningful and special" made the girl's heart jump with joy.

Yes, the time is too short, so I will make up for it by leaving more different memories, but is it also good?

"Yeah!" Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled: "I listen to you."

While the two were talking, Qin Ke's cell phone rang, but this time it was Uncle Chen calling.This is a real boss in the education field. Qin Ke answered the phone and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, how do you know that I am about to call you to check on you and say hello?"

Uncle Chen's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Boy coaxed me again, you have been off the plane for more than an hour, and you have already made a call if you wanted to, why do you need to call now?"

Qin Ke was already very familiar with Uncle Chen from the education field and Uncle Yang from the science and technology field, so he continued to laugh and said, "Uncle Chen, you really wronged me, it was inconvenient to be with the school leaders just now, no, As soon as I got out of the car, I wanted to report to you the development of my thoughts during the period of going abroad as soon as possible."

"Assuming you have Uncle Chen in mind, kid. First of all, congratulations to you two, you have added another grand prize. In addition, I heard that you two have jointly carried out theoretical research on quantum science with a well-known physicist in Deguo? Will it not affect your study of Goldbach's conjecture?"

Qin Ke was clear-eyed, and Uncle Chen probably hoped that the two of them would overcome Goldbach's conjecture and increase their chances of winning the Fields Medal.

"This is a long-term project cooperation, which will take at least two to three years, so the pressure and workload are not too high. If Qingyun and I join forces, it will not take up too much time."

Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Cross-border cooperation on high-end theoretical projects is a good thing. Our country is indeed weak in this regard. You can handle these learning and scientific research matters yourself. I trust you, but this year is the Philippine Award In [-], the whole country is waiting for you two to take home one or two Fields medals. I will cooperate with Kiyoki University and continue to arrange some heavyweight domestic and foreign media to promote you. I hope you Don't blame me, an old man, for meddling in my own business."

"It's too late for us to be grateful. Thank you, Uncle Chen, for taking your troubles."

At the end of the call, Qin Ke couldn't help sighing that whether he can win the Fields Medal is no longer a matter between him and Ning Qingyun, but a goal that countless people pay attention to and work together for.

Qin Ke half-jokingly said: "Come on, Yun'er, we have a historical mission on our shoulders."

Ning Qingjun raised her small hand and gave him a high-five, her beautiful eyes flashed with the brilliance of struggle: "Well, work hard together! Goldbach guesses how hard I will work, and you step up to the final victory of Riemann's conjecture! "

……

Unknowingly, the pace of time has entered the beginning of April, everything is revived, and the vitality of spring spreads throughout the campus.

It has been almost two weeks since Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun returned to China, and their study life is still busy and fulfilling.

Media interviews are held every week. CCTV's education channel and foreign language channel have made special reports on the two of them. Even Xia Guo's largest youth newspaper in the world, "Xia Guo Youth Daily (Foreign Language Edition)" has been written extensively. Report the deeds and mathematical achievements of the two.

Internationally, other candidates for the Fields Medal also carried out various propaganda campaigns.An unseen battle has begun.

However, Uncle Chen and the school have come forward to organize these. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun only need to show up for interviews, and the rest of the time is still focused on studying and topics, without worrying about these trivial matters.

At noon that day, academician Tian Jianlan suddenly called and asked Ning Qingyun to come to her office.

Originally, Qin Ke wanted to accompany her, but Ning Qingyun decided to go by himself, leaving Qin Ke to continue studying Riemann's conjecture: "It's only ten minutes away, the campus is very safe, don't worry. Besides, there are still people here Follow from far behind to protect me."

Qin Ke thought about it, so he no longer asked to accompany her.

The girl with a single ponytail soon left for the teaching building of the mathematics department.

She is not very keen on winning the Fei Award, and knows that her level has not reached the height of the Fields Award, so Ning Qingyun only wants to support Qin Ke with all her strength, and devotes most of her thoughts to Goldbach's conjecture. , so that Qin Ke can spend more time and energy on the Riemann Hypothesis as much as possible.

She also knew in her heart that whether Qin Ke, who has a huge disadvantage in terms of age, can win the Fields Medal depends on the Riemann conjecture. Goldbach's conjecture alone may not be able to help Qin Ke win the Fields Medal. .

After Ning Qingyun left alone, Qin Ke didn't study Riemann's conjecture, but put his mind on Goldbach's conjecture.

Although he already has the fifth set of expressions of Riemann's conjecture given by the system, he still wants to challenge himself to overcome Goldbach's conjecture as soon as possible, raise his mathematics level to "grandmaster level", and then see if he can solve it by himself The strength will be derived.

While waiting for Ning Qingyun while studying the math problem, unexpectedly, Ning Qingyun didn't come back for a long time.

　Dear friends, if you have time to join the group, there will be surprises!
　　In addition, continue to ask for monthly ticket recommendation tickets and full reservations!
