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

Chapter 80 No Small Pressure

Hearing Feng Lan's words, Ning Chen thought in his heart.

If he knew anyone, Ning Chen would definitely want to be able to choose his roommate.

It's just that only Ning Chen participated in this training camp at Shengzhou University, and Ning Chen was not familiar with the others.

At this time, I saw a person walking towards Ning Chen and said to Ning Chen:
"If you don't mind, shall we share a dormitory?"

Ning Chen heard the sound and looked around, and found that he knew this person.

It was Lin You from Yenching University who won the No.2 Individual All-Around Award in the previous autumn competition and won the only individual gold award besides Ning Chen.

Ning Chen had a good impression of Lin You. Hearing what Lin You said, Ning Chen also had the same intention.

"Okay, then we will share a dormitory."

Seeing that the two people "freely matched" successfully, Feng Lan arranged for the staff to give them keys and took them to the dormitory.

The dormitory arranged by Shuimu University for them was good. The environment of the dormitory was very good and could meet some basic living needs. It was slightly better than the dormitory for doctoral students Ning Chen lived in Shengzhou University.

Ning Chen and Lin You packed up their respective things, and then they also started chatting.

Before this, although the two people knew each other, they had not even spoken. Today was the first time that they communicated directly.

"Lin You, there should be quite a few people from Yan University participating in this training camp."

"Well, there are a few undergraduate students, and there are more graduate students. There are about a dozen people in total."

This number is a little less than Ning Chen estimated. It seems that this training camp still has a high threshold.

"So, this training camp is still mainly for graduate students?"

"Yes, after all, graduate students have stronger scientific research capabilities. Many undergraduates have not reached this stage at all. In fact, I am the same. I have never done any subject before, unlike you who have published so many papers."

Ning Chen learned a lot of valuable news from Lin You, which was not available at Shengzhou University.

"It seems that no matter whether I continue to stay at Shengzhou University in the future, I will go out more and communicate with the outside world." Ning Chenxin said.

"Lin You, those who participated in the training camp this time should be your teammates from the previous competition, why didn't you live in the same dormitory with them?"

Hearing Ning Chen's question, Lin You also hesitated.

"They have finished choosing dormitories, and I also want to learn more from you."

In fact, the relationship between Lin You and several teammates was not good, because when they jointly requested to review Ning Chen's results, Lin You did not participate.

Lin You felt that Ning Chen had no possibility of cheating, so it was not fair to report someone for no reason, even though Ning Chen might never know about this kind of thing.

But in front of Ning Chen, Lin You didn't intend to tell Ning Chen about this, Lin You worried that Ning Chen would feel uncomfortable because of this.

Ning Chen didn't think much about it, because there were five people in a team at the time, and maybe the other four just formed a team with each other.

"Ning Chen, you are so good at math, why didn't you participate in the competition in high school?"

Lin You has always been very puzzled by this question, so he asked Ning Chen.

"Maybe I started to learn it late. Although my math scores were pretty good in high school, I wasn't at the level to participate in competitions. After I went to college, I had more time, and I suddenly became interested in studying mathematics..."

Ning Chen's explanation sounded a bit unbelievable, but Ning Chen's achievements were here, and Lin You only thought that this was a special case of genius.

After a hot chat, the two quickly became acquainted with each other. They both had a good impression of each other and felt that the other was a very suitable roommate.

Through chatting, Ning Chen found out that Lin You was not only recommended by Yan University through the competition, but he was also the No. 1 CMO at the time and won the IMO championship on behalf of China.

In the evening, the two had dinner together, discussed some math problems, and then went back to the room to study independently without disturbing each other.The next day, Feng Lan organized everyone to come to the conference room together.

After a while, Professor Qiu Chengtong will come over to hold a meeting in person and talk about the specific plans after the training camp. Everyone came to the meeting room in advance to get ready, and started discussing with each other in a low voice.

Ning Chen saw a few familiar faces, all of whom had participated in the autumn competition before, and more people looked older than them, and they seemed to be masters or doctors.

After a while, Qiu Chengtong also came and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hello, classmates, I am very happy to see you here. You are all very outstanding rising stars in the field of mathematics in China. I hope that we can all gain something in the next training camp."

After chatting with everyone for a while, Qiu Chengtong's face gradually became serious.

"Now I want to ask you a question. The reason why you choose mathematics as a major is because you are interested in mathematics and hope to be able to study mathematics in the future, or do you just use mathematics as a stepping stone to seek a better future for yourself?" development, earn more money?"

Hearing Qiu Chengtong's question, the conference room fell silent.

It is true that students who can come here are unlikely to have no interest in mathematics, and mathematics may even be their favorite subject.

But at the same time, everyone will also consider the issue of employment in the future. After studying for so many years, who would not want to have a better development after graduation?

At this time, a student said:
"I chose mathematics because I like mathematics and am good at mathematics. Of course, I also hope that I can make more money through mathematics research."

Hearing this student's words, some people couldn't help laughing, even Qiu Chengtong was also smiling.

"Your answer is very honest. We are all part of society, and it is understandable to want to make more money. Of course, what I want to say is that I hope that everyone will never forget the original intention of doing mathematics research."

"If you don't have a strong interest in mathematics, you don't want to do mathematics in the future, and you are only interested in going abroad and making money, then you can leave now."

After Qiu Chengtong finished speaking, no one left.

After all, everyone has a certain understanding of the content of this training camp before coming, and they definitely hope to achieve some real results through this training camp.

Seeing that no one left, Qiu Chengtong nodded and said:

"Okay, since everyone has the same attitude, I believe this training camp will be a successful training camp. Next, let me talk about the detailed arrangements for this training camp."

Many people opened their notebooks, ready to record what Qiu Chengtong said next.

"First of all, we need to determine our research topics within two weeks. After two weeks, we will conduct the opening defense on time. I hope that the research topics you choose can be novel and have certain research significance. Whether it is an undergraduate I am still a graduate student, and I believe that everyone here has such abilities."

Hearing Qiu Chengtong's words, many people felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.

In two weeks, the research topic is determined and the opening defense is still very tight.

But now that everyone is here, they will definitely do their best to accept Qiu Chengtong's request and bring out their strongest potential.

"During the whole training period, I will stay at Shuimu University. Welcome everyone to communicate with me in mathematics. We will invite a professor from the mathematics field to give an open class every day to talk about my research results. Of course, I will also talk about it myself. , I believe everyone will learn something from it.”

"In addition, we also welcome everyone to communicate with other members of the training camp, but it needs to be with the other party's consent. After all, everyone's time is very tight during this period, and we hope everyone can arrange their own time."

"Okay, that's all for today. You can go back now and think about your own research topics. If you want to communicate with me, please contact Mr. Feng Lan and explain what you want to study. If I feel interested , I'll call you over."

The duration of the meeting was shorter than everyone expected. Many people were still looking forward to what research direction Qiu Chengtong could give them, but Qiu Chengtong did not say these things, but just asked everyone to think about their own topic selection direction.

"Anyway, there will be experts giving public lectures every day, so I should be able to find some suitable topics from it."

Many students had this idea and stood up and left the conference room.

Ning Chen has not yet thought about the direction of future research. Ning Chen does not have much experience in selecting topics, so he needs to think about it when he goes back.
