Chapter 292 Returning to the heart, coming
Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Xu Songyao’s office.
There are three people in the office at the moment, they are Xu Songyao, Zhang Yitang and Wang Donglai.
“Donglai, this is Professor Zhang’s paper, take a look.”
As Xu Songyao said, he handed Wang Donglai a document.
Listening to Xu Songyao's words, Wang Dong took a look at Zhang Yitang. After all, this was Zhang Yitang's academic paper, so he still had to pay attention to his opinions.
Zhang Yitang had no objection to this, and said with a smile: "Professor Wang, this paper can be written because of your contribution. If it weren't for your guidance, I don't know how many years it would take. Really prove this problem."
"Professor Zhang, you are welcome, the paper you published in the "Annals of Mathematics" last year. I have also seen it, and the level is very good. In terms of twin prime numbers, your academic attainments are already very good. Even without me, I think you can make further progress."
Wang Donglai naturally knows the difficulty of twin prime numbers. , and he also understood that without him, even if Zhang Yitang was given another ten years, he would not be able to go further.
So what he said just now was a polite word.
The reason why I say this is because Zhang Yitang can join Tangdu Jiaotong University, so he has to give him face.
Zhang Yitang could also tell that Wang Donglai's words were polite and he didn't take them seriously. He smiled and said nothing.
With Zhang Yitang’s statement, Wang Donglai opened the paper and started reading.
The paper contains a lot of content, tens of thousands of words, a thick stack.
After all, it is a mathematical proof paper with a lot of data.
If an ordinary person reads this paper and reads it word for word, it would take more than an hour.
But if you understand it, it will take a long time.
However, in Wang Donglai’s hands, it looked like a comic strip read by a three-year-old child.
In the eyes of Zhang Yitang and Xu Songyao, they saw that Wang Donglai had no time to think about it and turned over page after page.
If they didn't know Wang Donglai's academic achievements, and both of them knew Wang Donglai's temper, they would probably think that Wang Donglai was perfunctory.
Ten minutes.
At this time, Wang Donglai deliberately slowed down.
Closing the document in his hand, Wang Donglai showed a smile on his face and said to Zhang Yitang: "Congratulations to Professor Zhang, you have solved the problem of twin prime numbers!"
After thinking about it, Wang Donglai added another sentence, evaluating the paper in his hand: "The quality of this paper is not bad, there are no major problems, please submit it for submission!"
After saying that, Wang Donglai put the paper on the desk again.
When Wang Donglai said these two sentences, Xu Songyao and Zhang Yitang were obviously relieved.
Although the two of them had previously determined that there was no problem with this paper, the twin prime numbers were indeed proved by Zhang Yitang.
However, now that they have received Wang Donglai's approval, the two of them can truly feel relieved.
Because in the subconscious of the two of them, Wang Donglai is already a super expert in the field of mathematics.
The two of them could naturally feel their own emotional changes, but they didn't care.
Xu Songyao was shocked because he was not specialized in mathematics, but now that he is the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, he hopes that Wang Donglai will become more and more powerful, so naturally he will not have other thoughts.
As for Zhang Yitang, he might have been dissatisfied before returning to China, but in the face of Wang Donglai's mathematical achievements, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only hold it in.
What's more, after returning to China and getting closer to Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang no longer had any other thoughts in his heart.
Zhang Yitang has seen many geniuses over the years.
However, this was his first time meeting a genius like Wang Donglai.
Whether it was his photographic memory, his sharp logical thinking ability, or other performances, Zhang Yitang was both shocked and envious.
It was after seeing Wang Donglai's performance that Zhang Yitang felt that he had found the reason why Wang Donglai had such great academic achievements.
Talent!
Three simple words, but there is a huge gap that Zhang Yitang cannot catch up with.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Yitang is also a person with talent, but he does not think that he has talent. After meeting Wang Donglai, he became even more convinced of this.
Only people like Wang Donglai can be considered true geniuses!
What is a genius? Those who are gifted with abilities by God have extraordinary talents!
After he proved the twin prime numbers, Zhang Yitang had various thoughts in his mind. There seemed to be many reasons why he finally chose to publish the paper in "Mathematical Future".
But in the final analysis, there is only one.
That is Wang Donglai!
"Mathematical Future" is a journal that Wang Donglai attaches great importance to. Even if it is to win Wang Donglai's favor, it is cost-effective to publish his paper in it.
With this calculation in his heart, Zhang Yitang took action without hesitation.
I brought my thesis to Xu Songyao’s office just to confirm this matter.
Although the main reason for doing this was because of Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang would not be stupid enough to submit the article directly.
You should also pay attention to methods when doing things.
The benefits gained from spreading this matter to Xu Songyao's ears are different from doing it in front of Xu Songyao.
So, this scene will appear at this moment.
“With Professor Wang’s words, I finally feel relieved and can submit my manuscript with peace of mind!”
Zhang Yitang said with a smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief. .
There is no grudge at all. Wang Donglai's evaluation is not high.
"Principal, I am going to submit this paper to "The Future of Mathematics" founded by our school, is it okay?"
Zhang Yitang did not look at Wang Dong, but towards He looked at Xu Songyao and asked.
Hearing Zhang Yitang's words, Xu Songyao's face flashed with surprise, but he quickly reacted, and the smile on his face became even stronger, and he said loudly: "Professor Zhang, are you willing to sacrifice your life?" I would naturally welcome the paper to be submitted to a journal established by our school, but..."
Before Xu Songyao finished speaking, Zhang Yitang said He deliberately interrupted and said: "Principal, I think some of what Professor Wang said is very good and correct. Our country has the largest population in the world. At the same time, it is also the only ancient civilization that has been handed down. It has a long history and culture. We need Our own top academic journal needs to have the academic status we deserve in the international academic community ”
"The name "Future of Mathematics" is well chosen. We are the ones who truly represent the future of mathematics. If you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to grow into a river. If you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach thousands of miles. If you want to have a top international academic journal, The best times were fifty years ago and now, Although my academic ability is not as good as Professor Wang’s, I am still willing to do my part!”
Zhang Yitang’s words are righteous and impassioned, and anyone who listens to them will feel Zhang Yitang’s words! of patriotism and strong patriotic sentiments.
"Okay! Our school is really lucky that Professor Zhang has such awareness!"
"In this way, I have the final say, and the article in the next issue of the main journal will be Professor Zhang's. Paper!" Xu Songyao tapped the table and made this decision directly.
At this time, Wang Donglai also spoke up.
"To be honest, I am very happy that Professor Zhang has such an awareness. It would be great if our domestic scholars and professors could also think so!"
Wang Donglai said in a tone of voice He said this with a sigh.
"Professor Wang, you are still so young. You can at least write papers for another sixty years. In sixty years, "Mathematical Future" will definitely be the world's top mathematics journal. I am very happy about this. Have confidence!"
Zhang Yitang said to Wang Donglai seriously, full of confidence in Wang Donglai in his words.
Wang Donglai did not refuse Zhang Yitang's words, but accepted them calmly and said, "You and I will definitely be able to see this scene in our lifetimes!"
Zhang Yitang was stunned and felt in his heart. I couldn't help but be shocked by Wang Donglai's arrogance.
When he said sixty years just now, he actually took Wang Donglai's factors into consideration.
A top journal recognized by scholars around the world is not something that can be developed easily.
Money does not play a big role in this.
He needs a strong country to back him up, which is the most important prerequisite.
Just like the top international mainstream journals, they all appear in the world's powerful countries.
Especially Bald Eagle, as a global hegemon, has an academic status that goes without saying, and has the largest number of top journals in the world.
Sixty years, this is the time that Zhang Yitang believes that China will catch up with the Bald Eagle within sixty years, narrow the gap, and thus be able to cultivate an academic journal recognized by scholars around the world.
However, he did not expect that Wang Donglai's confidence would be so strong.
See this scene in my lifetime.
He was born in 1945 and is now 59 years old. Xu Songyao was born in 1955 and is now 49 years old.
A lifetime, estimated based on the average age, is about ten years.
It takes more than ten years to cultivate a top journal. Zhang Yitang subconsciously believed that this was impossible.
But he did not question it out loud, because Wang Donglai continued to say something.
"What is the most important thing about a journal? It's papers, high-quality papers. "Mathematical Futures" has no shortage of high-quality papers. The worst thing is, every time it is published, I prove a mathematical problem, and they don't believe me. I can’t mention the impact factor yet.”
“Academia also depends on strength after all!”
Wang Donglai’s words were an understatement, but the momentum he showed was extremely extraordinary. , confident and extremely serious.
Zhang Yitang and Xu Songyao could tell that Wang Donglai was serious and really prepared to do this.
The two of them wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about Wang Donglai's academic achievements before he came, they swallowed their words.
It took two months to prove a mathematical problem, which sounds fantastic and impossible.
But when it comes to Wang Donglai, it's different.
With an extremely tacit understanding, both of them were full of confidence in Wang Donglai.
"I still believe in Professor Wang's strength, and I also believe that this day will come sooner!"
Zhang Yitang agreed with a smile and said this.
...
The news of the arrival of Zeng Qun and the boatman brother was also notified to Tangdu Jiaotong University in advance through formal channels.
The purpose of the two coming here is also obvious.
The reason why they did not choose to notify Galaxy Technology was because they were familiar with Wang Donglai and knew that Wang Donglai spent more time at school instead of at Galaxy Technology.
After sending Zhang Yitang away, Wang Donglai did not leave, but waited here for the arrival of Boatman Brother and Zeng Qun.
"Donglai, where is your company's current research on lithium-sulfur batteries?"
"Of course, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, you don't need to tell me. I'm just asking. If the school has anything If the place can help you, just ask!”
While waiting, Xu Songyao asked this question.
“At present, it is only verified that there is no problem with the research direction of hollow carbon spheres. Specific lithium-sulfur batteries still need time to be tested and finally explained through data.”
Wang Donglai did not hide it. He directly stated the current situation.
The previous experiments only proved that the research direction of hollow carbon spheres was correct.
In the experiment, I am never afraid of the complexity of the experiment, but I am afraid of having no direction.
As long as you have a direction, the best you can do is to delay some more time and waste some energy, and then you can get the best results.
And if there is no direction, then you are a headless fly, not knowing east, west, north, south.
After verifying that the direction of the hollow carbon spheres was correct, the next work was handed over to Lu Tu and others in the laboratory.
You only need to design the manufacturing process and find the appropriate ratio to make the finished product and test the data.
Only when these are successful can we say that the research on lithium-sulfur batteries is successful.
Experiment is never a simple sentence, but requires multiple verification and inspection of multiple procedural steps.
Xu Songyao also understood this and nodded.
The two did not wait long.
Zeng Qun and the boatman brother arrived.
The two of them did not expect to bump into each other. They were stunned for a moment, then shook hands and walked together.
"Mr. Zeng, you are a technical expert in this field. You are here. It seems that the hollow carbon balls are indeed effective!" Brother Boatman took the initiative and started chatting with Zeng Qun.
Zeng Qun did not express any dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "There are many research directions for lithium-sulfur batteries, and hollow carbon spheres are just one direction. However, at present, hollow carbon spheres are the most promising."
“I originally thought that a foreign research institute would produce results first, but I didn’t expect that our countrymen would produce breakthrough results first.”
Brother Boatman can lead the company to grow, so he naturally understands technology. When Zeng Qun said this, he said aloud: "Professor Wang's two papers only proved that hollow carbon spheres solved the shuttle effect, and they could not fully explain the lithium The sulfur battery has been successfully developed. With CATL’s research strength, it must not be a big problem to reproduce it, right?”
Zeng Qun His eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "We are here this time just to have a good chat with Professor Wang. After all, lithium-sulfur batteries play a huge role in the current energy industry, so we have to be cautious! Your company must think so too. Yes, you seem to be more seriously affected than us."
The boatman's smile faded and he said no more.
Seeing this, Zeng Qun stopped talking, and the two groups of people came to the reception room together clearly.
