Chapter 180: Breaking out of the galaxy universe is the real romance
On the highway to Tangdu.
An ambulance was driving rapidly, with two cars following behind it.
In the car were Wang Donglai’s grandfather and Cao Shuxian’s relatives.
"Shuxian, don't be anxious. Donglai has already greeted people. We will go directly to the First Affiliated Hospital of Tangdu Jiaotong University. They are ready there. As long as we arrive, we can receive treatment immediately. This is a top-notch hospital in the province, and I can definitely cure Dad.”
Wang Yanxing comforted Cao Shuxian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, while driving.
In the back seat, Cao Shuxian’s three sisters were also sitting.
"Yes, dad's disease is difficult to cure in the county, but not necessarily in Tangdu. There are many experts and professors there, so it can definitely be cured."
The age of the eldest sister Cao Shurou The biggest one spoke up at this moment.
Second sister Cao Shulian and third sister Cao Shuya also nodded in agreement.
"You are lucky, little sister. Dong Lai has such a great future. Let's enjoy the blessings from now on." Cao Shurou changed the topic to Wang Donglai and started talking.
"That's right. When I was a child, I thought your family was smart and clever. I was indeed right. Now that I have just grown up, I have achieved such success. I have appeared on TV, appeared in the news, and... When I go abroad to give academic reports, I can now make a phone call to the hospital in the provincial capital."
Cao Shulian said with a look of envy on her face, sitting in the back row.
"It is said that when a person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. I never thought that one day my father would be able to benefit from his grandson's honor."
Hearing the words of the three sisters, Cao Shuxian's face also showed a trace of A slight smile.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that the First Affiliated Hospital has some relationship with their school, so I can say this. If it were other hospitals, they would definitely not recognize it."
Cao Shuxian is also an adult, so naturally she won't He took all the compliments into consideration, so he explained aloud at this moment.
"No matter what, Dong Lai is the most promising person of their generation. We still need to let them, old cousins, get closer to each other in the future. I think we will still have more friends every year in the future. Get together a few times.”
“The second sister is right, they are all close. We don’t have as many cousins and brothers and sisters as we did in our generation, so it’s good to move around more.”
“We didn’t get married far away, but my younger sister married out of the county, and now. Now that I have a car, it’s very convenient to come back. I’ll walk around more when I have nothing to do.”
After hearing these words, both Wang Yanxing and Cao Shuxian felt sweet in their hearts.
Of course they understand the true meaning of these words.
But I just saw Wang Donglai’s energy, so I wanted to get close to him.
Although they are all cousins, as the saying goes, a first-generation relative is a second-generation relative, and the third and fourth generations cannot find one.
In addition, the age gap between Wang Donglai's generation is also large, and they don't meet often, so the relationship is not very close.
Now, taking this opportunity, it is not inappropriate to say these words.
Thinking in her heart, Cao Shuxian smiled and said: "Of course, they are all relatives, but they should move around more."
For a while, the atmosphere in the car became relaxed. stand up.
Soon.
The group arrived in Tangdu and went straight to the First Affiliated Hospital.
When they were about to arrive, Wang Yanxing was about to call Zhao Chengpeng.
Zhao Chengpeng saw Wang Yanxing and others. Because they had met the last time Wang Dong came to defend his graduation thesis, they recognized them immediately.
Beside Zhao Chengpeng, there were also several hospital leaders.
The First Affiliated Hospital acted very quickly. They took the green channel directly and quickly started the treatment process.
Seeing such a scene, Uncle Wang Donglai and others looked proud but also showed a hint of envy.
Life, old age, illness and death, no one wants to meet such an energetic relative when they are sick, and they can arrange hospitalization directly with a phone call.
……
The next day.
According to the original plan, Wang Donglai was prepared to accept academic invitations from several top universities to give lectures or academic exchanges.
However, after this incident, Wang Donglai was no longer willing to waste time like this.
Ever since, the trip has sped up.
First I went to the Clay Institute, and under the witness of the media, I gave an academic report, and then received a US$1 million award from the Clay Institute.
Then we headed to Harvard University without stopping.
If he had not already made an appointment to meet Qiu Chengtong, Wang Donglai would have planned to return to China after finishing his studies at Clay Research Institute.
Harvard University.
As a top university that is extremely famous all over the world, it can be said to be an academic holy land for countless people.
Eight bald eagle presidents have been born here, and Harvard’s alumni, professors and researchers have produced 158 Nobel Prize winners, ranking first in the world; 18 Fields Medal winners, Named No. 1 in the world; 14 Turing Award winners, ranked No. 4 in the world.
There are approximately 2,400 faculty members, including more than 300 academicians from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Academy of Engineering (NSE), and the National Academy of Medicine (IOM). Among them, academicians of the National Academy of Sciences and Academicians of the National Medical College rank first in the country.
When Wang Donglai came to Harvard University, Qiu Chengtong came to greet him personally.
“The last time we held an academic exchange meeting at Princeton, you proved Zhou’s guess on the spot. How about I hold another academic exchange meeting for you at Harvard, although I don’t necessarily have Deligne’s knowledge? It’s a big deal, but it’s still a bit thin. The scene shouldn’t be any smaller than last time, what do you think?”
As soon as they met, Qiu Chengtong asked Wang Donglai a little seriously and a little jokingly.
It must be said that for the academic circle, half an hour's stunt to prove Zhou's guess is really enough.
Although everyone knows that Wang Donglai did not really spend only half an hour understanding Zhou's guess and proving it.
There must be a lot of research time involved, at least more than one day.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as the news gets out, Princeton will make money.
For top universities, they are not short of funds.
But when it comes to reputation, they never feel that it is too much.
The greater the reputation and the higher the ranking, the better students can be received, resulting in greater and more achievements and promoting the development of the school.
This is a positive cycle.
Princeton wanted Wang Donglai to take over the title of honorary doctor because of this consideration.
Right now, Qiu Chengtong's words are the same.
"Professor Qiu, the last time was purely a coincidence, let's forget it."
Wang Donglai waited a moment after Qiu Chengtong finished speaking, but he did not hear the system prompt. sound.
I was disappointed in my heart, but my expression didn't show anything, and I replied calmly.
“Well, that’s a shame.”
After staying abroad for a long time, Qiu Chengtong's speaking habits gradually became similar to those of foreigners.
Although both of them were communicating in Chinese at the moment.
But their speaking habits can still distinguish their identities at once.
Walking on the campus of Harvard University, Qiu Chengtong pointed to the teaching building in the distance and said, "What do you think of foreign teaching?"
"It has its advantages and many disadvantages. ! ""In general, in my opinion, there are more shortcomings."
Wang Donglai didn't hide anything, he just said what was in his heart.
Qiu Chengtong: "From what you say, it seems that you are not ready to go abroad for further study. You should know that according to the current domestic academic habits, if you do not study abroad or further your studies, in the evaluation of some things, It’s very detrimental to you.”
“I know this, but I feel even more. If everyone thinks that only by studying abroad can you get results, that is the real danger. A country’s academic and scientific research strength must be independent. I think it should start with me. This should be cool. "< br>
Wang Donglai didn’t tell all the truth, but he didn’t tell all lies either.
"Okay, you are only nineteen years old, I may have some understanding of your thoughts."
Qiu Chengtong was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Wang Donglai, and then said suddenly.
“We are engaged in academics, so it is better to focus on academics. This is our professional field. In other places, it is better to interfere as little as possible. Understand and don’t get close. This is As a person who has experienced this, I am giving you a kind warning.”
“You should be able to understand this sentence.”
Shaking his head slightly, Qiu Chengtong obviously understood what Wang Donglai was thinking. idea.
"Professor Qiu, let's talk about the topic from last time."
Without speculation, Wang Donglai did not intend to continue the topic with Qiu Chengtong, so he changed the topic directly.
“Well, actually, I have seriously considered what you said last time after I came back.”
“The competition I promoted has gradually lost its previous meaning. There is nothing we can do about it.”
“So, after I think about it seriously, I still want to hear what you think.”
"You can tell me your thoughts. As a Chinese, I am still willing to contribute."
Qiu Chengtong is also a straightforward person and does not go around in circles. He directly said this to Wang Donglai and asked him to say Come up with your own ideas.
“Professor Qiu has a good idea. He wants to provide a fair competition opportunity for students who are not close to top universities. In these competitions, there are indeed students who are not from Qingbei who have won the championship, which also proves your idea. There is nothing wrong with that.”
“But I just want to pass. It would be too ideal to try to change this situation with just one competition.”
“Today’s era is no longer an era where honor is regarded as life. A big tea vat, a certificate, The time when you can be admired by everyone has passed.”
"The new era requires new methods."
"I can use a sum of money as a prize for this competition, and use financial incentives as a means to attract more people to participate."
“In order to maintain fairness, I think it cannot be hosted only by Tsinghua University, but should be handed over to top universities. It is held through competition among schools and adopts a rotation system.”
“When the selection of an award is linked to something other than the award, it will only greatly affect the credibility of the award, so I hope Professor Qiu can seriously consider it. "
Wang Donglai finished speaking in one breath, and Qiu Chengtong did not respond for a long time.
"You have given me a difficult problem!"
Qiu Chengtong looked at Wang Donglai with a wry smile on his face and said.
The reason why Tsinghua University was chosen to host it was because he is the director of the Mathematical Sciences Center of Tsinghua University and also because of Tsinghua University’s academic status in the country.
Hosted by Tsinghua University, it is the most credible and authoritative.
However, he had to admit that what Wang Donglai said made sense.
My purpose is just to give more students a chance, rather than continue to bury myself.
After thinking about it, Qiu Chengtong quickly made a decision.
"Okay, as you said, I will go and communicate with the country, but you must also agree to a condition."
After Qiu Chengtong finished speaking, he looked at Wang Donglai and said aloud.
“Okay, Professor Qiu, please speak.”
"It's very simple. When the rules are changed in the competition, you will serve as a lifelong judge. If possible, you need to select the contestants." Qiu Chengtong said his first request without hesitation.
"Okay, I agree!" Wang Donglai also did not refuse and agreed directly.
He answered very confidently and decisively, because he knew he had the qualifications.
Qiu Chengtong has many honors, but Wang Donglai is not bad either.
Everyone knows this. After all, he is still young and has unlimited possibilities.
In fact, the main reason why Qiu Chengtong agreed to Wang Donglai's proposal was because of this.
If nothing changes, the Qiu Chengtong Mathematics Competition will still be the top competition in the country, and its status will not be affected at all.
But once he wants to make changes according to what Wang Donglai said, Qiu Chengtong will first offend some leaders of Tsinghua University. After all, such a move can be regarded as a slap in their face.
Secondly, it is to take risks. If the competition in the future does not go smoothly, or there are few contestants, or there is some scandal, it will be a blow to his reputation.
Movement is worse than silence.
If you do more, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make more mistakes.
This sentence makes sense in many places.
However, Qiu Chengtong still did it.
There are several reasons for this. There is a public intention for the development of mathematics in China, and there is also a selfish intention of making a name for myself.
I also have the idea of making this competition a truly top competition with the help of Wang Donglai's future development.
"If it is held once a year, the required bonus is not a small amount. I will raise this point in the country at that time. You should keep the one million US dollars you received from the Clay Institute and spend it yourself."
The key link has been agreed upon, and Qiu Chengtong remembered what Wang Donglai said about the sponsorship funds before, so he said this to him.
"No need, I can give out five million as a reward for each session."
"I still have this little money."
"If the effect If Feiran is right, five million may not be impossible to add.”
Wang Donglai holds Galaxy Technology, so he is naturally not short of money.
Wang Donglai did this out of pure publicity.
Mathematics major is both difficult and difficult to find a job. Only a master can survive.
Basic academic research is boring and difficult.
He only tried his best to use Qiu Chengtong's international status, plus his own financial resources and reputation, to help the domestic mathematics major.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have made a special trip to Bald Eagle to discuss the matter with Qiu Chengtong.
In the future, he will do this not only in mathematics majors, but also in other key subjects.
Until, the domestic profession truly catches up with the world-class level and returns to its original world status.
What’s the point of just making money and becoming the richest man in the world?
Leading a nation to rise, leading a country to rejuvenate, and leading a civilization out of the galaxy and universe, this is true romance.
