Chapter 247 Aftermath, five major needs in life
July.
Wang Donglai shocked the world by proving Goldbach's conjecture, making the entire mathematical community boil.
When the scholars on the peninsula learned that Wang Donglai had returned to China, the atmosphere of the conference suddenly became cold.
Thousands of mathematics scholars and professors who came to attend the conference were all disappointed.
For example, academic leaders like Deligne left the conference without any cover-up after Wang Donglai came.
One after another, the academic leaders left, which made the atmosphere of the conference become deserted.
After Ingrid Dobe and others learned about this situation, they had no good solution.
I can only pretend not to know and still hold on to finish the conference.
However, they vented their anger on the island country.
In their view, if the island country scholars had not caused trouble, this mathematics conference would never have turned out like this.
So, Ingrid Dobe and several others joined forces to put pressure on the island nation’s academic community.
Only three days have passed.
Before the mathematics conference ended, the official website of the International Mathematical Union released a message and it made the news.
Taro Watanabe, a professor from the island country, violated the academic agreement and committed academic misconduct. He has been expelled from the capital university of the island country and his degree was revoked by the school he graduated from.
The Taiwanese Mathematical Society conducted self-examination and self-correction to rectify its academic atmosphere. The president of the Taiwanese Mathematical Society resigned and apologized.
This is the news announced at the International Mathematical Union.
And another piece of news has also been spread. It is the academic fraud case of Haruko Obokata that had been at a deadlock in the previous investigation, and it has come to a conclusion.
RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology is closed!
Obogata Haruko’s thesis was withdrawn and her doctorate was revoked.
Satoshi Honda, Obokata Haruko's doctoral thesis supervisor, was implicated and suspended for three months because she failed to do a good job in reviewing.
Other teachers related to Haruko Obokata's doctorate degree, even if they are not instructors but only assistant instructors, have been punished with salary penalties or suspensions of one month.
As for the president of Waseda University, Obokata Haruko's graduate school, he also punished himself by handing over half a year's salary. As for Obokata Haruko's graduate school director when she was studying for a Ph.D., he was punished by handing over one year's salary.
In this way, the whole incident is completely over.
The academic goddess who was previously touted by the news had her halo shattered and was abandoned by the academic community.
Another unexpected incident occurred, that is, Yamada Motoki Nao, a top expert in the stem cell field who was considered by the island country news to be very likely to win the Nobel Prize, the mentor who had been trying to protect Obokata Haruko, committed suicide.
At this point, this incident has come to a complete end.
However, Wang Donglai was deeply hated by the academic circles in the island country.
When Wang Donglai heard the news, he was also a little surprised.
I was surprised not only by the speed of the International Mathematical Union, but also by the ruthless methods of the island country.
Only a few days have passed, and relevant scholars such as Taro Watanabe and Haruko Obokata have been directly sacrificed.
However, after the brief accident, Wang Donglai was not very surprised.
Because no matter what the island country does, he will not be surprised.
"How is it? Have you vented your anger?"
Zheng Hua asked Wang Donglai with a smile on his face.
As the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, Zheng Hua had a lot to do, so he returned to Tangdu Jiaotong University only after finishing his own affairs.
"Not bad!" Wang Donglai responded calmly.
“You have offended the academic community of the island country to death. When ABC made the guess, people in the mathematical community of the island country were already unhappy with you. Now that this incident has happened, I am afraid that most of the island country scholars are not happy with you. What a good impression I will have on you."
"From now on, you will not go to the island country."
Zheng Hua thought it was interesting and said to Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai nodded and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, I will definitely not go to the island country!"
"It's best not to go!"
"Let me see your Fields Gold Medal. , Tsk tsk, the number one person in the country, you don’t know how envious the expressions of the people I’ve seen in the past few days are of me.”
“You have already won the three major awards, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, the Abel Prize, and the Fields Medal. There is no more important award for you in the field of mathematics.”
"I'm afraid the next medals will be awarded to you, as long as you want them."
"Thanks to you, I might have to step back from this position, but who made you achieve such great results, I will probably take another step forward."
"As for who made you achieve such great results."
"As for who made you achieve such great results." For the candidate arrangement after I leave, I will recommend Lao Xu to the superiors, and the superiors will most likely not refuse. Absolutely, so you don’t have to worry about the school changing its attitude towards you.”
“Whatever you want to do, just do it, the school is your reliable backing!”
Zheng Hua looked happy at this time. , with a smile on his face, and his whole person showed a trace of high-spirited aura.
Actually, when he met Zheng Hua, Wang Donglai felt that Zheng Hua's mental state was not right. He was a little excited and agitated, and he was no longer as calm and indifferent as before.
However, Wang Donglai did not expect this to be the reason.
"Congratulations, Uncle Zheng!"
With that said, Wang Donglai picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea for himself and Zheng Hua.
"With tea instead of wine, I am here to congratulate Uncle Zheng on his promotion!"
Zheng Hua took the tea cup, still with a smile on his face, but his attitude towards Wang Donglai was nothing. change.
"You are not an outsider. I am able to rise even half a step higher this time because of your credit. If you hadn't come out of nowhere, I would have retreated from this position, and there would be no chance for me to rise even half a step higher."
“So, you Don't say those polite words, there is no need for them between us."
"I just want to chat with you today."
Zheng Hua drank tea. He said this to Wang Donglai seriously.
Hearing what Zheng Hua said, Wang Donglai nodded in agreement.
"The Institute of Advanced Mathematics in our school has been officially approved by the superiors. Thanks to your achievements, the support given by the superiors is very strong."
"Lao Xu also gave you the He told me what he said, and I very much agree with the establishment of a journal.”
“In my opinion, the mathematics research in our school is very good. So just let the person take charge."
"With your grades, no one will say that you are not qualified. As for your age, it is not a problem in the field of mathematics. What if you do it? If you think it's okay, can I arrange it directly?"
Zheng Hua sat on the single sofa and asked with a hint of solicitation in his tone.
Without thinking about it, Wang Donglai shook his head and said, "No!"
"The director of the institute should be given to someone else. I really don't have the energy to do this."
He refused firmly without any hesitation.
Zheng Hua made this suggestion, but he was actually trying to make a fool of himself. It would be best if Wang Donglai agreed. It would be okay if he didn't agree. He had already been mentally prepared.
"The director of the Institute of Mathematics is indeed not a good position for you. To be honest, an academic talent like you should do your academic work well."
"It's just that if our school doesn't show anything, the outside world will think that the school doesn't pay enough attention to you, which is troublesome."
"If you don't serve as the director of the institute, then I will declare it for you. "Level 2 professor." "I'll apply for you after two years." Sign up for academicianship!"
"By the way, the list of outstanding young people will come out in a while, and you will definitely be included."
"These things, you. Don’t worry or worry, the school will take care of it for you.”
In fact, Zheng Hua also felt that he was lucky. If he hadn't recruited Wang Donglai, how would he have such a good opportunity.
I was about to retire, but in the end I was only half way up, and my identity was different then.
Although it has not been announced yet, the organization has already talked about it, and the matter is almost a done deal.
In Zheng Hua’s heart, the person who was most grateful was not Wang Donglai, but Zhao Chengpeng, director of the Admissions Office.
If it weren’t for Zhao Chengpeng, Wang Donglai would not have come to Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Therefore, he has decided to give Zhao Chengpeng a push before he leaves.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng."
Wang Donglai was not surprised by Zheng Hua's words. He and Tangdu Jiaotong University had a mutually successful relationship, so there was no need to be polite.
"Don't thank me, you deserve this, not to mention that not only me, but our school has also benefited from you, let alone thank you."
Zheng Hua waved his hand and did not accept Wang Donglai's thanks.
"I am a member of Tangdu Jiaotong University, and this is what it should be!"
Wang Donglai did not think that this was what he should do because of Zheng Hua's politeness, and replied politely.
"Now that you have won the Fields Medal, what are your plans in the future? Will you continue to work in the field of mathematics or study artificial intelligence or semiconductors?"
When asked this question, Zheng Hua His expression also became serious.
When Wang Donglai heard this question, he also fell into deep thought.
"Well, mathematics is the foundation. I won't give it up, but I will focus most of my energy on other things."
"The changes in the world pattern in the future will definitely be accompanied by the development of technology. Which country will take the lead?" If we achieve technological breakthroughs, we will have an advantage in the next global development.”
“In my opinion, these are the main areas, energy, materials, biology, and semiconductors!”
< b r>“Whether it is artificial intelligence or chips, they actually rely on the progress and development of the semiconductor industry. This is fundamental.”
“Galaxy Technology will increase its investment in the semiconductor industry and strive to solve the problem of localization of technology. , in this process, we will cooperate with major universities and absorb outstanding students from major universities. Otherwise, we will train talents and create profits for foreign companies.”
Wang Donglai didn't hide it from Zheng Hua and directly expressed his thoughts.
He did think so, but he did not express his detailed thoughts.
Zheng Hua is not a fool. He also knew something about Wang Donglai from previous contacts, so he nodded after listening.
“Energy, materials, biology, semiconductors, these fields are no simpler than mathematics. Since you want to try it, I won’t stop you.”
“Theory No matter how important mathematics is, it is not good if it exceeds the actual level. If you can use it, it will also be good for domestic mathematics majors. ”
"You also know that I have been researching driverless driving. Whether it is energy, materials, or semiconductor breakthroughs, it is all good."
"New energy batteries have insufficient range and a large gap in cooling and heating efficiencies. The cost remains high and the risk of spontaneous combustion is high. It would be great if new battery technology could overcome these problems. ”
“Or if the processing power of the chip is enhanced and it reaches the level of intelligence earlier, there will be more applicable fields.”
“Any breakthrough in these fields is very important to our country. . ”
“So if you want to study it, I am actually quite supportive!”
Zheng Hua has already seen Wang Donglai's scientific research capabilities. From papers to mobile phone fast charging technology, to lithium-ion battery technology and drone technology, Wang Donglai's super learning and application abilities have been demonstrated.
So, Zheng Hua is actually very curious about whether Wang Donglai can continue his impressive results again.
As an academician, Zheng Hua’s vision and knowledge are not bad.
He also understood that the development of human civilization to this day has actually reached a bottleneck period. Basic theoretical research has been done, and then it will develop into deeper fields.
Materials, Energy, Biology This is human exploration of nature, and only semiconductors are the pinnacle of human technology.
Any breakthrough in these fields will bring great breakthroughs to human civilization.
For example, room temperature superconductors in the field of materials.
Controllable nuclear fusion of energy.
The genetic code of living things.
These aspects are full of room for imagination and room for play.
Once it breaks through, it is simply unimaginable.
When Zheng Hua reached this position, he had long lost interest in the money that ordinary people pursue. The reason why he is happy to take another step forward is because it can better promote academic development.
Maros' needs theory has explained that people have five needs, namely physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, respect and self-actualization, arranged from low to high.
Zheng Hua has already achieved the first four types and is currently in the fifth type.
Pursue technological truth, watch technology change society, and gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
This feeling goes far beyond simple emotional pleasure.
“Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your understanding and support!”
Wang Donglai actually knew that Zheng Hua was a fellow-minded person, so he was honest.
“As someone who has been there, I still want to remind you that breakthroughs in these fields are not simple things. If you really want to study nonsense, I am afraid you have to be prepared to sit on the bench for ten years, or even It will take longer. "
"But don't worry, as long as I am here, I will give you the greatest support. As long as you ask for money and money, I will find a way for you."
Zheng Hua's words were calm but firm.
Although it was calm, it exploded like thunder.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your support. I will not let you down." Wang Donglai was also infected by Zheng Hua's firm tone and replied seriously.
Zheng Hua had a smile on his face and felt quite satisfied.
Wang Donglai's mark has already been imprinted on him. As long as Wang Donglai's grades get higher and higher, the benefits he will get from it will also become greater and greater, just like this half-step promotion.
In addition, Wang Donglai is already the most important to the Tang Capital Jiaotong University.
As long as Wang Donglai is here, Tangdu Jiaotong University's ranking will rise several places, not to mention that as time goes by, Tangdu Jiaotong University will gain more and more benefits from it.
This is not just what Zheng Hua thinks, anyone with a brain in the leadership of Tangdu Jiaotong University will realize this.
So, Zheng Hua is actually not too worried that Tangdu Jiaohui will have some rift with Wang Donglai after he leaves, and will change his attitude towards Wang Donglai.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Hua continued: "I talked about a lot of things today, and I was a bit verbose. Don't worry about it."
"You try to write your paper as soon as possible. Many people are waiting for your paper now, and some people above also want to take a look. It is estimated that after the dust settles, there should be awards for you, so you should be prepared in your heart."< br>
Wang Donglai nodded and said: "Well, I have almost finished writing the paper. I will post it on the school's official website first and wait for the school to create it. After the journal is published, it will be published in the journal."
Zheng Hua waved his hand directly and said: "No, I will handle the journal affairs and process it urgently. I will use your paper to do it then. A good start.”
When he said this, Zheng Hua had a bright smile on his face, full of pride.
