Chapter 715: Xia Guo Physics Societys year-end academic exchange meeting(1/2)
Regarding the status of academicians, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had exchanged opinions before. Considering that becoming an academician has too many restrictions and obligations, which affects their scientific research freedom and academic freedom, they are both interested in becoming academicians.
It's not big and can be dragged around. Anyway, when the Xia Ke Academy asks them to become academicians, those annoying obligations will naturally be relaxed.
So when Uncle Yang mentioned it, Qin Ke declined politely: "Uncle Yang, Qingjun and I will probably be busy with our own scientific research projects in the next two years. Even if we are elected as academicians, we will not be able to participate in so many research projects."
Academic conferences and scientific research tasks to undertake..."
Yang Chengke understood Qin Ke's meaning as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "I can see it. You two don't care about the status and rights of academicians, but you are afraid that you will be involved in various research tasks and meetings after becoming academicians, right? Don't worry, you two
You have made enough contributions to the country. Even if you retire from now on and bask in the sun every day, I can ensure that you two become academicians and enjoy the benefits of academicians."
A warm current surged in Qin Ke's heart. Although Uncle Yang was just joking, he could still hear his love for himself and Ning Qingyun in his words.
Qin Ke said apologetically: "Uncle Yang, we are aware of your kindness. Naturally, we will not retire so early, but we do have a headache with the numerous interactions and affairs of academicians. We still prefer to do research quietly.
Teach, teach or something.”
"You guys really don't have to worry about this. I've talked with Xia Ke Academy. After you two are elected as academicians, you can enjoy all the rights of academicians, but you only need to bear two most basic obligations. One is to continue to do scientific research.
Knowledge, one is to cultivate talents for the country, these two are actually what you have been doing all along. Currently, you are doing research in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Qingmu University and teaching students, which is considered to have fulfilled these two obligations of academicians.
"Uncle Yang said with a smile:
"As for other obligations, such as undertaking nationally designated scientific research projects, participating in academic exchange conferences, making suggestions, etc., you can ignore them all. In other words, in addition to your status as multiple 'academicians', you will also receive some additional income allowances.
, and it is easier to apply for scientific research funds and the amount is larger, it is no different from your current working life. You can continue to maintain scientific research freedom and academic freedom. Of course, if you are willing, you can also take the initiative to undertake national scientific research projects, or participate in
Various academic exchange conferences.”
This is a bit beyond Qin Ke's expectation. Such unequal rights and obligations are no different from when Qingmu University signed two people as first-level professors. They were all based on their status and there were no other requirements.
Lu Xinping next to him smiled and said: "Boss, is Xia Ke Academy finally ridiculed by netizens and unable to sit still? I heard that the selection of additional academicians this year has been under considerable pressure from public opinion, although Professor Qin and Professor Ning have
I was given a scarf saying that I voluntarily gave up my registration for the current academician election, but the discussion about this matter on the Internet has not stopped."
While adding tea to the three of them, he continued: "Especially from July to September, it is a critical period for co-optation work. At this time, Professor Qin and Professor Ning threw out 'Computational Seed Science' and 'Perfect Desert
"Sweet Potato" has made the Internet all kinds of critical about the co-optation of academicians this year. However, there are also benefits. Under the spotlight, the new academicians selected this time are all highly professional and have achieved many achievements.
None of the senior and powerful professors who have outstanding academic achievements and scientific research achievements are elected based on personal connections or so-called academic faction backgrounds. From this point alone, Professor Qin and Professor Ning can be regarded as making great contributions to the academic research community.
contribute."
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun really hadn't paid much attention to this matter, and they both couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this.
In the conscience of heaven and earth, they have not paid attention to the co-optation of academicians at all. The publication of "Computational Seed Science" in late July was purely a coincidence caused by various factors. They really did not intentionally make Xia Ke Academy so passive.
Next to him, Yang Chengke slowly sipped his tea. It was not convenient for him to say these words, so Lu Xinping said them for him.
He put down the tea cup and looked at Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun: "Qin Ke, Xiao Ning, what is your final reply? If you agree to Xia Ke Academy's proposal, I will reply to them and let them take advantage of the Spring Festival.
This issue was raised at the academician meeting and passed by collective vote, which will at least ensure that no faults can be found in the entire process."
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun exchanged glances and immediately connected with each other.
Since Uncle Yang has given such thoughtful consideration to the two of them, and Xia Ke Academy has made almost unconditional concessions, there is no need to wait until the year after next to participate in the academician co-optation.
Qin Ke took the teapot in front of Lu Xinping, filled it for Uncle Yang, and said with a smile: "I know Uncle Yang is doing it for our own good, so we are naturally happy to accept it."
Uncle Yang said happily: "Okay, at the earliest next month, or at the latest February, you will become the youngest academician of the Xia Academy of Sciences in the history of Xia State. Your academician status will be linked to the Department of Mathematics and Physics. As for whether you want to be
Academician of Mathematics or Academician of Physics, you decide for yourself."
In fact, the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences does not officially distinguish between "mathematical academicians" and "physics academicians", but it does divide the academician's files into two categories: "mathematician" and "physicist", so there is a conventional "mathematical academician"
The difference between "Academician" and "Academician of Physics".
Lu Xinping next to him felt envious. In fact, he understood that the main reason for Xia Ke Academy's special exception and almost unconditional concession this time was the "lime topological superconducting vortex state" developed by Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun.
Theoretical model system”.
The country has always attached great importance to high-tech, especially quantum computers, as an important hope for overtaking the future information industry.
Now that the "Ling Ning Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System" has come out, at least Xia Guo has reached the forefront of the world in the physical theory of topological quantum computing, the field of quantum computer error correction and tolerance, and has exceeded one million qubits.
In the past, there was no need to worry about the problem of fault tolerance. With such great achievements, coupled with the previous huge contribution of establishing computational seed science to solve the food crisis and donating patented technology for cultivating perfect desert sweet potatoes, the country would not agree with not giving academician treatment.
Facing these two young professors again.
——After all, academician is the highest academic title reward that the country can offer a scholar.
But for an academician who is twenty-one or twelve years old, I guess there is no third one in the world.
They chatted for a while, and Uncle Yang said to Lu Xinping: "Xiao Lu, go and look for it in my car. It seems that there is a box of Mingqian Longjing. Find it and pack it up, and bring it back to Qin Ke and Xiao Ning later."
"
Lu Xinping stood up and left.
Qin Ke smiled and said: "Uncle Yang, I only brought a bag of cheap fruits when I came home, but I got a box of top-quality green tea when I came home. Isn't this taking advantage of you?"
"It's just a box of green tea. It's nothing. I have a bad memory recently. I just remembered it and asked Xiao Lu to prepare it first so as not to forget it later." Uncle Yang asked when he saw Lu Xinping leave and close the heavy solid wood door of the study room.
: "I heard that you have built a lime new energy and freshwater resource recycling technology research center in Yuanzhou. Why did you suddenly choose this research direction?"
Qin Ke asked curiously: "Is there any problem with this direction?"
"No problem, and the country is drafting a document that plans to vigorously encourage the research and development of saltwater desalination technology. We will also tilt research funds here. Your actions are fast enough. Qin Ke, did your father-in-law tell you this?
What?"
Father-in-law? Qin Ke was a little surprised and said: "No. Why, the country you just mentioned that strongly encourages salt water desalination technology is related to my father-in-law?"
Ning Qingyun also looked at Uncle Yang in surprise. She didn't hear her parents mention this matter last time they met.
Uncle Yang nodded and said: "It has something to do with it. They speculate that with the large-scale promotion of desert sweet potatoes, the water shortage in the surrounding areas of the desert will further intensify, so they rationally develop and utilize the largest saltwater lake in the interior and turn it into domestic water.
and irrigation water were put on the agenda."
Qin Ke couldn't help but blink at Ning Qingyun and said with a smile: "Our parents are quite far-sighted. They have even thought of this. They are indeed senior scientists and academicians. They consider problems carefully. We really ignored this."
point."
At first, he did not consider that the large-scale promotion of desert sweet potatoes would exacerbate the problem of water shortage in areas around the desert. He did not think of this until the system issued a message saying "Please solve humanity's fresh water crisis."
Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled softly, her eyes shining with joy and pride.
Qin Ke held her little hand and said to Uncle Yang: "Uncle Yang, we really don't know about this. It can only be said to be a coincidence. We thought that since we have solved the food problem, let's continue to solve the fresh water problem.
That’s it, there’s more of an element of interest.”
Probably because these two young people have created so many miracles, Uncle Yang couldn't help but said with great hope: "How long do you think it will take to achieve results?"
"The research center will not be put into use until the middle of the year, and it will take time to recruit people and buy equipment. We are not particularly familiar with this aspect. It is estimated that it will take three to five years at the earliest to have preliminary results."
Qin Ke possesses systematic A-level knowledge of "A High-Efficiency, Low-Energy-Consumption, Fully-Automatic New Seawater Desalination Technology Solution". Although there are shortcuts, he wants to complete the task issued by the system, "Please solve mankind's fresh water crisis."
It is not an easy task to implement water desalination and purification technology that can be promoted around the world.
Uncle Yang was a little disappointed, but there are many domestic and international companies studying seawater desalination, and many of the technologies are quite advanced. There is no need for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to continue to bear too much pressure to make the two children happy.
Just engage in scientific research with your heart in mind, and treat it as an unexpected surprise when you get results.
Thinking of this, Yang Chengke felt relaxed again: "Well, you have a wide range of interests and are engaged in a lot of research. Take care of yourself. There is no rush in this desalination matter. Just take it slowly at your own pace. In terms of talents and equipment
If you have any difficulties, you both can come to me and I will help solve them."
He asked Qin Ke and Qin Ke about their next scientific research direction. He learned that they were interested in extreme climate analysis and prediction, and planned to use the fluid mechanics laboratory to engage in related research. Uncle Yang nodded and said: "This year, your fluid mechanics laboratory will
I will ask Qingmu University to allocate more scientific research funds." Then he remembered something and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Qin, the 'Green Lemon Topological Superconducting Vortex State Theoretical Model System' you developed should have a chance to win the Nobel Prize, right? Are you confident?"
Qin Ke spread his hands: "It's hard to say. The Nobel Prize in Physics is more focused on results in experimental applications. I recently asked Qingjun to investigate the detailed situation, and she knows better."
Ning Qingjun took over the topic and said softly: "The reasons why the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prize in Physics are generally divided into two directions. The first direction is what new physical phenomena a certain physicist discovered through experiments.
New physical particles have had a huge positive impact on an important direction through experiments. For example, Professor George Parisi of the University of Rome won the award in the last two years. The reason is that "in physical systems ranging from atoms to planetary scales, discoveries have been made."
The interaction of disorder and fluctuation'."
The girl's soft and melodious voice echoed in the study room filled with the fragrance of ink and tea: "The second direction is that a certain physicist has made outstanding contributions in theory, which ultimately led to the discovery of a certain particle or a certain physical phenomenon.
For example, Professor Roy Glauber of Harvard University won the award for his "contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence", and Riccardo Giacconi of the United University Corporation won the award for "contributions to the field of astrophysics."
For his pioneering contributions, these studies led to the discovery of cosmic X-ray sources."
"I made statistics. So far, the number of physicists who have won awards in the first direction is 8 times that of the second direction. Qin Ke and I have currently developed the 'Ling Ning topological superconducting vortex state theoretical model system'
', more inclined towards the second direction, which belongs to 'contribution to topological quantum computing theory', so the probability of being awarded the Nobel Prize will be relatively small."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to Ning Qingyun’s explanation, Uncle Yang muttered: “No matter what, we must strive for it with all our strength. By the way, if you want to be a candidate for the Nobel Prize, you must
Are there any former Nobel Prize winners who have nominated and recommended you? I will find a way to solve this matter..."
Xia Guo already has the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The return of Mr. Yang a few years ago made Xia Guo also have its own Nobel Prize in Physics, so now Xia Guo’s desire for the Nobel Prize in Physics is not as strong as it was originally.
I was so eager to see Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun win the Fields Medal.
But which country would complain that there are too many Nobel Prize winners? Now that Qin Kening and Qingyun have a chance to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, Xia Guo will definitely go all out to assist.
However, Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun are competing for the Nobel Prize in Physics. The recommenders can only be Swedish or foreign academicians of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, members of the Nobel Prize Selection Committee, and scientists who have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
