Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

The specific content of Chapter 118 can be found in Nature
After all, Ning Chen can now be called a "god" in Shengzhou University.

Before the defense began, the three review teachers came to the classroom and sat down, making final preparations before the defense.

One of the teachers is Professor Yang Lianhua who Ning Chen is very familiar with.

Perhaps because Yang Lianhua and Ning Chen were familiar with each other, Yang Lianhua did not specifically greet Ning Chen, hoping to score each student's performance more objectively.

After the defense began, Ning Chen was the first to come to the podium.

This was also the order of defense specially arranged by the school before. Ning Chen could finish his defense earlier and leave earlier. After all, Ning Chen had to complete the defense of two majors and the task was heavier than that of other undergraduate graduates.

"Hello teachers, I am Ning Chen from Materials Class 0901. My defense topic is - "New Exact Solution to the Sine-Gordon Equation with Variable Coefficients"."

Hearing Ning Chen's topic, other students in the classroom couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is at least a research topic that they may understand. If Ning Chen really talks about Qiu Chengtong's conjecture here, all the students will probably be confused.

And the expressions of the three judges, including Yang Lianhua, relaxed a little.

After all, the research topic of Qiu Chengtong's conjecture is too complicated. Looking at the entire world of mathematics, there are only a handful of people who dare to say that they can fully understand the entire proof process of Ning Chen's Qiu Chengtong's conjecture.

Ning Chen's defense process was very fluent. He explained the key points of his research content very well, and at the same time, he controlled the speaking speed within a very appropriate range.

After experiencing many big events, Ning Chen did not feel any nervous about an undergraduate's graduation defense.

After Ning Chen finished describing his research results, the three defense teachers asked Ning Chen several questions about the research results, and Ning Chen also answered them fluently.

This forced the three review teachers to give Ning Chen the highest score.

"Okay, student Ning Chen, you still need to prepare for the defense of materials science, so you can leave now."

After thanking the three teachers, Ning Chen left the defense room.

As Ning Chen left, other students preparing for their defense felt even more nervous.

The defense just held by Ning Chen undoubtedly raised the standard of the entire defense to an extremely high level.

The second student who took the stage to defend, obviously felt a lot of pressure.

Before this, he would never have believed that the person defending in front of him would be a Simmons Scholar Award winner.

As soon as he took the stage, he was so nervous that he almost forgot which class he was in.

This created a very strong contrast between him and Ning Chen.

……

After coming out of the mathematics defense classroom, Ning Chen did not rest, but immediately came to the materials major defense classroom.

Ning Chen's appearance once again attracted everyone's attention. Ning Chen was somewhat used to this situation, so he just found a seat to sit down and waited quietly.

Since Ning Chen was participating in the undergraduate graduation defense as a sophomore and had to participate in the defense of two subjects in a row, the teacher did not make Ning Chen wait any longer.

After the last student's defense, a review teacher said:
"Ning Chen, you will be the one to answer the question next."

Ning Chen was very happy with this arrangement. He wouldn't gain much from watching other undergraduates' defenses.

Ning Chen's defense process this time was still very smooth. After all, Ning Chen was too familiar with the content of his research process.

Coupled with several exercises before the defense, Ning Chen controlled his time very accurately.

After Ning Chen completed the presentation of his research results, a reviewer asked:

"Ning Chen, I am very interested in your research on porous nano-silicon materials. Can you ask, in addition to the content shown in the PPT, does this material have any application space?" Ning Chen was not sure. Does this teacher really not know, or is he just asking himself questions according to the process.

“When I was researching this topic, I had no idea of ​​the application direction of this material. But after that, I continued to conduct more in-depth research on the properties of this material.

Improving this material into a battery negative electrode and putting it into a lithium battery will make the lithium battery have a higher energy density.

Of course, at the same time, the battery life of lithium batteries using this material as the negative electrode will also be reduced. This is a problem that has not yet been solved.

Well... If you want to know more specific information, you can check out the 18th issue of the main issue of "Nature" last year. "

Because the time to answer the questions was limited, Ning Chen was not able to give a specific and comprehensive answer.

After listening to Ning Chen's answer, the three judges looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

You can obviously ask a few questions at will, but you have to mention the application part. Isn't this forcing Ning Chen to come up with the research results of the paper published in "Nature".

These three judges have not published "Nature" yet.

What they don't know is that Ning Chen and Xu Zhou have actually solved the problem of low life of silicon-based lithium batteries.

Just because they signed a confidentiality agreement with Piati, the relevant results cannot be published publicly for the time being.

In the end, the three judges of the materials major also gave Ning Chen the highest defense score.

……

After completing his undergraduate defense, Ning Chen continued to focus on research on superconductivity.

The results of the undergraduate graduation defense came out soon. Not surprisingly, Ning Chen's defense scores were ranked No. 1 in both the mathematics major and the materials major.

This allowed Ning Chen to win two more outstanding graduation thesis awards. Of course, for Ning Chen now, such awards do not make Ning Chen take it seriously.

However, Ning Chen took some time to attend the undergraduate graduation ceremony, wore bachelor's uniform and took some graduation photos.

There still needs to be a necessary sense of ritual, otherwise life will seem too monotonous.

Ning Chen's three roommates acted as Ning Chen's photographers. While they were happy that Ning Chen graduated from college early, they were also a little sad about it.

After all, from now on, Ning Chen will no longer be a member of dormitory 208 and will enter the postgraduate stage.

"Brother Chen, we are only sophomores, and you have already graduated from college. Alas...what will we do without you?"

Ning Chen smiled and said:

"Why, am I also a sophomore? It's just that if you continue to go to the third and fourth grades, I won't have a chance."

"Brother Chen, you are really murderous and heart-wrenching. But to be honest, we still feel empty in our hearts because you graduated first by yourself."

"Yeah, you really won't go back to dormitory 208 from now on, and you will no longer belong to Materials Class 0901."

Looking at the expressions of Chen Tianpeng, Yang Yan, and Yuan Shuai, Ning Chen knew that they were really a little sentimental.

After all, they are roommates who have been together for two years, and the relationship between everyone is very sincere and pure.

Ning Chen couldn't be sentimental. Really counting, these three people have been his roommates for six years.

"Hey, actually you don't have to be like this. I just changed from an undergraduate to a graduate student, but I am still a student at Shengzhou University, and my major is still materials. We will definitely meet often in the future."
