Academician Wang had been an academic leader at Yan University for many years, and he was also the chairman of the China Mathematics Society. He had a temper.
After he came out of the principal's office, he didn't ask any Jin Ling University professors for help. Instead, he asked his students for directions to Lu Zhou's office.
After hearing Academician Wang's request, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at his desk, stopped writing.
"Do a report at Yan University?"
"Yes." Academician Wang didn't hide his true thoughts. He bluntly said, "Our Yan University mathematics department is much better than Jin Ling University in terms of both academic atmosphere and academic ability. This kind of world-class academic report is a window for our China mathematics community to face the world. It will also be an important opportunity for our China mathematics community to integrate into the world. I know this report is yours, and you have the right to decide where it is, but I hope you can think about the big picture and reconsider. "
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Wang Shicheng: "Go ahead."
Lu Zhou: "Which do you think is more important, the windows or the things in the house?"
Wang Shicheng: "Of course it's the things in the house that are more important."
"I think so too." Lu Zhou nodded and paused for a second. He then said, "Whether or not China's mathematics community can integrate into the world doesn't depend on where the windows are, or how many windows we open. It depends on how well we fix the things in the house, and what outstanding results we achieve. So, you want me to think about the big picture? I can tell you that it doesn't matter where the report is held. In contrast, my research itself is more relevant to the problem you mentioned. "
Lu Zhou's words made Wang Shicheng speechless.
He opened his mouth and couldn't say a word. After a while, he spoke in an incomprehensible tone.
"I don't understand."
Lu Zhou: "What don't you understand?"
Wang Shicheng said with a puzzled expression, "I don't understand why you insist on not going to Yan University. Do you think Yan University will become the mathematics center of Asia, or Jin Ling University will become the mathematics center of Asia? Which of these two goals is more likely? "
Hearing this question, Lu Zhou smiled.
"Actually, there's no special reason. It's just that this is my alma mater."
Although there were other reasons, there was no need to say those things in front of him.
Why did Shiing-Shen Chen choose to go big? Why did Qiu Chengtong choose Shui Mu? Is it because Yan University is not good? On the contrary, it was because it was too good and too strong that there was no room for other voices in the mathematics world.
However, if there was no collision of ideas in academia, it would be difficult to spark the spark of change.
Because of this long-term consideration, Lu Zhou didn't choose to go to Yan University.
He looked at Academician Wang Shicheng and paused for a second before speaking.
"As for your other question, which one is easier to achieve …
"It's all the same to me."
…
There was still a month and a half until the report on the existence of a solution to the Yang-Mills equations. However, the preparations for the report had already begun.
The preparations included the preparation for the report itself, as well as the renovation of the school's appearance, security checks, and even some of the old dormitories on the old campus. For example, when Lu Zhou participated in the modeling competition, he lived in the "infamous" dormitory 6. This time, the school officials made up their minds to renovate it. The other dormitory buildings also wanted to install air conditioners.
Honestly speaking, when Lu Zhou saw how much importance Jin Ling University placed on this report, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, when he was at Princeton, he never did a report like this. Even the Goldbach's conjecture was only casually discussed in the No. 1 lecture hall.
However, it was not that he could not understand why Principal Xu made such an arrangement.
After all, the mathematics department of Jin Ling University had never produced such a major research result.
This was the closest the international theoretical physics community was to the Holy Grail of modern physics. It was also the closest Jin Ling University was to a top international academic achievement. Whether it was because of the importance of the result itself or because of the importance of Lu Zhou, it was worth it.
On the other hand, other than the school actively preparing, Lu Zhou's three assistants were finally busy.
Especially Assistant Lin, who was in charge of outreach work. She was usually very idle, but now she finally had a place to work. She held a pile of documents and ran back and forth between the old and new campus. And from the looks of it, she seemed to be enjoying it?
However, Lu Zhou didn't understand what was so interesting about this.
In short, with so many people worrying about the report, Lu Zhou didn't have to worry too much. Instead, he continued to research the general solution of the Yang-Mills equations.
However, things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
Rather than saying that his research had reached a bottleneck, it was more like he didn't know where to start …
[F ^ i (μv) ≡ δμ · Av ^ i- δv · Aμ ^ i + g (f ^ ijk) · (Aμ ^ j) · (Av ^ k)]
[…]
"It's hard to imagine how Mr. Yang and Mr. Mills derived this equation." Lu Zhou crumpled the draft paper in his hand and sighed. He then threw it into the trash can.
The L Manifold was very useful for testing nonlinear partial differential equations, but it was quite limited when used to solve specific problems.
This was why Lu Zhou had never considered solving the Navier – Stokes equations.
Not because it was difficult, but because he knew he couldn't do it.
Han Mengqi walked next to his desk and handed him the thesis that she had just printed.
"Teacher, this is my thesis."
Lu Zhou put down the pen in his hand and glanced at the thesis title and abstract. He raised his eyebrows with interest.
[A Theoretical Model of the Semiconductor/Electrolyte Solution Interface Based on the Schottky Barrier]
It seems like this girl is quite talented in computational materials.
It had only been two months, and he could already try to write something.
"Okay, put it here … I'll help you look at it later."
"Okay …" Han Mengqi looked at Lu Zhou and hesitated for a bit. She then quietly said, "Um … Teacher, is there anything I can help with?"
When Lu Zhou heard this, he paused for a second and smiled.
There weren't many people who could help him with this.
However, Lu Zhou had to be humble.
"If you can complete the mission I gave you and master the knowledge I gave you, that would be the biggest help you can give me."
In a sense, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Zhou said.
After all, the final reward for his mission was not only related to the quality of his courses, but it was also related to the impact factor of his students' theses.
However, Han Mengqi obviously didn't know about the system. She looked a little disappointed as she nodded.
"I understand …"
If only I'm a bit stronger.
That way, I can be a bit more useful …
