I really just want to be a scholar

Under Ming Gao's spotlight, the resonant voice of a white-haired old man was ringing through the Stockholm Grand Hotel Concert Hall.

"Since Newton's classical mechanics, we humans have been exploring the nature of 'force'. Newtonian mechanics has realized the unification of heavenly forces and earthly forces. In the mid-19th century, the great Maxwell proposed the famous 'Maxwell's equations', Realizing the unification of electricity, magnetism, and light..."

"Subsequently, Einstein's theory of relativity unified space and time, and quantum mechanics revealed the laws of motion of microscopic particles in the material world, and together with the theory of relativity constitute the theoretical basis of modern physics. These theories guide us to continuously explore the essential roots of the three-dimensional universe. The results are getting better and better. Through research, we find that there are too many unknowns about this world.”

“Especially when we discovered that there are only four kinds of interaction forces between microscopic particles, gravitation, electromagnetic force, strong interaction force, and weak interaction force, we are eager to unify the four forces into a theoretical framework. , thereby finding the origin of these four interactions, and using this 'grand unified theory' to explain all phenomena in the universe..."

"In 1967, Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam transformed the mathematical expressions of the electromagnetic force and the weak force, bringing the two forces into a unified mathematical framework. In 1983, CERN found the theory The predicted intermediate bosons W and Z formally verified the unification of the electromagnetic force and the weak force through experiments. In that year, many people, including me, were optimistic that a glimmer of hope for the unification of all forces had appeared. .”

"However, in the following thirty years, countless physicists have tried to add the strong force to the unified framework of electricity and the weak, but they have all failed. Just when we all thought that the 'unification of the three forces' could be achieved at least within fifty years. When it was impossible to solve the problem, there were three physicists who followed the direction proposed by Glashow, started from mathematics, used creative mathematical thinking, and established a unified strong and weak interaction through a new quantum gauge field theory. The string theory framework of force and electromagnetic force achieves the 'unification of strong and weak electricity', and it has been best verified through CERN experiments!"

"It can be said that they have successfully opened the door to a new era for human physical civilization!"

"Not only that, in September this year, they also successfully improved the M theory into the 'QWTNQ theoretical system' that can be indirectly verified through experiments. Our understanding of physics, the dimensions of space and time, and the origin of the world have all undergone earth-shaking changes. Changes! The best example is through this example, precise control of the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements is achieved!"

"Because of their contributions to physics, human physical civilization has entered a new era!"

“In recognition of their great contributions, our judges decided to award this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics to them!”

“Now, we welcome with warm applause the three winners of this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics—Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun from Xia Guoqingmu University, and Edward Witten from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. academician!"

In a wave of applause so intense that it almost lifted the ceiling of the concert hall, Qin Ke, Ning Qingjun, and Edward Witten stepped onto the stage under countless flashing lights.

In the audience, Grandpa Shen Tieshan was holding the portrait of his wife in a pendant, with tears streaming down his face. Even though his grandson Qin Ke has been successful in studies since he was a child and is a well-known super academic in the town. Shen Tieshan is quite proud of it, but he never dreamed that Qin Ke would have such a glorious moment.

Mom Shen Qiuyi was crying while secretly pinching herself, trying to make sure it was a dream.

For a mother like Shen Qiuyi, who dropped out of high school before graduating, has a low level of education, and doesn't usually think she is very smart, to be able to raise a son who is such a great scientist is an unreal feeling as if she is living in the best dream.

Qin Yanghui next to him could understand his wife's mood best. He hugged Shen Qiuyi tightly and looked at his son and daughter-in-law on the stage, with tears in his eyes and full of pride in his heart.

God has been so kind to him, even if he has been orphaned since he was sensible, and even if he has left his beloved professional basketball court early, but now looking at his son's glorious moments, what else can he find fault with his fate?

Neither he nor his wife are considered educated people. Since they got married, they have been lectured by their father-in-law and mother-in-law who are professors and teachers. However, they still withstand the pressure and never force their children to study. They just I want Qin Ke and Qin Xiaoke to have a happy and healthy childhood and a tolerant and relaxed living atmosphere.

However, Qin Ke relied on his own efforts to move step by step from a mountain town to a prestigious high school in a big city. He then participated in competitions and soared to the top, becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Later, he solved the world's problems, won the top mathematics award, and became a professor. , became an academician, won three Nobel Prizes, and became a great scientist unparalleled in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

What's more, their parents, who are ordinary and can even be said to live at the bottom of society, can finally hold their heads high and accept countless envious looks in small towns and even Yuanzhou City.

Of course, what makes them most proud is that their son has grown into an upright, upright, kind and righteous man - Qin Xiaoke just posted the online article "Look, this is our cutest academician!" "The news report has been shown to them - how can this not make them overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears?

The calmest one was Qin Xiaoke. She was not so excited that she shed tears like her parents and grandfather. She was busy taking care of the two babies to prevent them from messing around, and at the same time, she had to provide for her brother and her husband. My sister-in-law is taking photos, so she has no time to get excited.

Besides, it's just the Nobel Prize. It's not like my brother and sister-in-law have never won it. She's tired of playing with the four Nobel Prize medals at home - Qin Xiaoke thought "arrogantly" and stretched out his hand to rub his niece The nephew's little head said: "Smile, Zhengzheng, you should work hard when you grow up, and strive to stand on this podium like your parents."

In Xia Country, there were also countless viewers watching the live broadcast of the awards ceremony.

If there are still many people who don’t understand how precious and rare last month’s “Second Fields Medal” is, then almost everyone knows how powerful this “Third Nobel Prize” is. After all, the reputation of the Nobel Prize in Xia Guo is indeed much higher than that of the Fields Medal.

Seeing the two academicians who were too young and looked like undergraduates, countless spectators couldn't help but applaud vigorously.

This is the second Nobel Prize in Physics that a native Xia scientist has won. If the Peace Prize is included, this will be the third time that they have won the Nobel Prize under the age of twenty-five!

Looking at the whole world and the long history of science, this is a great achievement that so many well-known foreign scientists have failed to achieve! What Einstein, what Planck, all eclipsed in front of their light!

As a native of Xia, how can we not feel overwhelmed and overwhelmed by our own country's scientists as they reach the top of the world's scientific research community?

Qin Ke’s high school buddies Li Xiong, Ge Zhixing, and Xiang Qi are still studying for a master’s degree in physical education at Yuanzhou Institute of Physical Education. They are gathering with their roommates, watching the live TV in the dining hall, and clinking beers in celebration. .

Li Xiong drank with his tongue hanging out: "Do you know? Brother Ke played basketball with us every day. The school committee member...that is, my sister-in-law, sat by the court and read a book. She also prepared hot cups and towels for Brother Ke... Brother Ke He has a good personality and is very kind... He is not the oldest among us, but all the students in the school are willing to call him 'Brother Ke'..."

Ge Zhixing's face was also full of alcohol, and he boasted: "That's right, academic scumbags like us relied on listening to his small math class to pass the math exam, and finally got here - the best physical education in the province. College! In other words, we are not only Brother Ke’s close buddies, we can also be called his first batch of students. The top students he now teaches would have called us ‘senior brothers’ in ancient times!”

Then there was a burst of praise and envy from the roommates. Xiang Qi shouted: "According to what you say, Ke Ge also learned Wing Chun from me for a period of time. In ancient times, I can be called his master... You also have to call me master, hehe , the master of the Nobel Prize winner..."

The crowd cheered and cheered: "Go, go, Xiang Qi, you brat is so proud that you are going to the sky!"

Another burst of fighting and carnival.

Similar scenes are playing out in many schools, including Qingmu University. Twenty-four graduate students led by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, including Jiang Xiaopang, Hua Manting, Gan Peixuan, Li Xiangxue, and Sun Bingfei, were also working for themselves at this time. The instructor felt sincerely excited and happy.

Although Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have become busier this semester, they have not neglected their guidance. They will spend at least an hour every day to give them guidance on topics and papers, and emails reporting their study status will also be sent to them. Detailed reply within 24 hours.

Now we are entering the third year of graduate school career in a blink of an eye, leaving them with even more reluctance, especially the doctoral students who are about to graduate. The more they get along with such outstanding mentors who are like gods, the more they feel There is so much to learn.

"I really envy you master students, you still have almost four years left. I will graduate in less than five months. I really want to study with these two academicians all the time..." doctoral candidate Jiang Zhixiang sighed.

Sun Xiuya smiled and said: "You can deliberately destroy your graduation thesis and it will be postponed for one year."

Jiang Zhixiang grimaced: "I think so too, but does it make sense to play such a trick in front of Academician Qin? My goal now is to stay in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, so that I can always do physics research with the two academicians. .”

Dirk Hill, who is also a doctoral candidate, also nodded silently. At this moment, he no longer had any intention of challenging Qin Ke. He could only follow such a great mathematician in his life and continue to see more and more. The beautiful mathematical scenery is what he considers the most ideal life.

……

Standing on the stage, listening to the deafening applause and accepting the congratulations from people all over the world, Qin Ke's mood was inevitably a little ups and downs. Ning Qingyun held his hand tightly, her pretty face full of emotions. Blushing, Edward Witten was the most excited, and even couldn't help but kiss the small medal when he received it.

After completing a series of processes such as awarding awards and taking photos, Mr. King, who presented the awards, showed a gentle smile:

"Academician Qin, I believe Mr. Nobel will be proud to award you the award he established. To be honest, you and your wife are so famous that you can now establish an international academic research award similar to the Nobel Prize." Well, if you are willing, our Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is happy to be the review body for the award named after you. All procedures will be compared with the Nobel Prize, and it will definitely make it a top science award that is no less than the Nobel Prize."

Mr. King had a good idea. Qin Ke smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your suggestion, but I'm afraid we haven't had such energy in recent years."

"It doesn't matter, I believe that our President Goran Hansen of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will be happy to take charge of most of the work, as long as you are willing to set up such an award."

"We will seriously consider it. If such an award must be established, we would prefer that the Summer Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences join forces to establish and operate such an award."

Mr. King shook hands with Qin Ke vigorously and said sincerely: "Oh, this method is indeed more suitable, and we are happy to accept it. I will let Dean Hansen talk to you tomorrow. Now, enjoy the joy first. Let’s enjoy your glorious time. You deserve this. Your great contributions to the progress of human science and technology civilization and to humankind’s defense against natural disasters are unparalleled!”

Although Qin Ke also wanted to relax and enjoy a relaxing and happy time with Ning Qingyun, it was a pity that he returned to the auditorium and sat down for half an hour. He didn't even watch the entire award ceremony when a glimmer of light came from his mobile phone. Important email alert tone.

Now LV5's Shimmer is constantly learning and evolving at an astonishing speed. Not only does it have huge computing resources, but it also absorbs a large amount of knowledge from various disciplines from the e-book library of Qingmu University. At least in terms of physics, its knowledge is as much as His analytical ability has surpassed that of many physicists.

Weiguang also officially took over Qin Ke’s mailbox management, including pre-reading the email content, then analyzing and judging the importance and urgency to sort, ensuring that what Qin Ke sees at first glance is what he cares about most, or needs most. Major events that he prioritized.

For some emails that Weiguang judged he could answer, he would also draft a first draft of the reply. Qin Ke only needed to review and modify a small part of the content before sending the email directly.

It can be said that LV5's Shimmer has completely become an excellent assistant, meticulously reducing Qin Ke's workload in all aspects, especially repetitive workload, allowing him to focus on more important work.

This time Shimmer judged that the emails that Qin Ke needed to be specially reminded to deal with as soon as possible were naturally "very urgent and important" emails.

Qin Ke's heart skipped a beat and he immediately took out his cell phone.

When his eyes fell on the phone screen, Shimmer automatically completed the entire process of unlocking the screen saver password and opening the email.

Qin Ke could see the title and content of the email at a glance.

Title: "About the recent special flare phenomenon on the sun", sender: Reza Foklin of NASA. (End of chapter)
