Chapter 180 The project needs me, and I have no excuses
After the applause ended, Ning Chen continued to talk about his experience in the Qiu Chengtong training camp.
“Participating in Qiu Chengtong’s scientific research training camp at Shuimu University was my most unforgettable mathematics learning and research experience. That training camp brought together almost the best undergraduates and students in mathematics in the country. Graduate student. When I was choosing my research topic, I was somewhat ignorant and chose the Qiu Chengtong conjecture that no one had proven for more than fifty years.
When I was defending my thesis, there was a professor. He told me directly that he suggested that I change the subject, because this kind of unknown conjecture in the mathematical world was really too risky for a student like me who was new to mathematical research.
I also thought about it at the time. I thought about changing the topic, but Professor Qiu Chengtong was very supportive of my research topic and encouraged me to continue my research, even if there was no progress.
It is with the support of Professor Qiu Chengtong that I can continue the next research work without any scruples.
As for the subsequent results, I think you should also know it, so I won’t go into details. ”
The students here naturally know that Ning Chen later published three blockbuster papers in a row in the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" and completed all the proofs of Qiu Chengtong's conjecture.
It is precisely because of these achievements that Ning Chen later won the Simons Scholar Award and became one of the top young researchers in the world.
In today’s opening lecture, Ning Chen said: Chen did not talk about any professional issues in detail, but started from his own experience and told his experience in the way of storytelling
Because these are Ning Chen's real experiences, Ning Chen's lectures had a very good effect. Everyone couldn't help but listen carefully to every word of Ning Chen's speech throughout the process, and at the same time, they were well involved in the emotions. I hope I can aim at Ning Chen and make achievements in the field of mathematics in the future.
At this time, Ning Chen felt that it was time for him to talk about some real content.
"Finally, let me give you some advice. After you get to college, you will obviously find that no one around you will care about you like they did in high school. This is a very important change. Self-control is particularly important when you are in college. You must not give up the serious study attitude you had in high school, and prepare and self-study for various subjects in advance.
If you want to go to graduate school in the future, then I suggest you. You can also find opportunities to get involved in various scientific research jobs as early as possible. In college, test scores are not the end, only the foundation and starting point of scientific research.
Finally, I hope everyone can maintain their interest in learning. , the exploration of scientific research, and the fearlessness of failure. I wish everyone can succeed in their studies, and hope that we can meet again on the road of exploring knowledge. ”
After finishing his speech, Ning Chen once again received warm applause from everyone.
Ning Chen couldn't remember clearly. This was the first time everyone had applauded him, and this time the applause was the warmest and lasted longer.
Even the college leaders and teachers who were watching Ning Chen’s speech were infected by Ning Chen’s emotions and applauded Ning Chen from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Xu Yang, who was sitting in the audience, had tears in his eyes. While being moved by Ning Chen's experience, he was also full of fighting spirit for his future study life.
Xu Yang's reaction was stronger than that of other students, but these were his true feelings.
When he took Ning Chen's tutoring class before, Xu Yang didn't feel the same way about Ning Chen because of the different teaching methods.
But this time, feeling Ning Chen's aura when standing on the stage, Xu Yang only felt that Ning Chen's image in his mind became even greater.
Xu Yang also hopes that he can become someone like Ning Chen in the future. Even if he can only achieve a small part of Ning Chen's achievements, Xu Yang will feel very fulfilled.
After finishing the opening speech, Ning Chen, Yang Lianhua and others came to the rest area behind the auditorium.
“Ning Chen, what you taught today was so wonderful! The response from the students was very strong. If nothing else, this class of students will be the best class of students in the Mathematics Department of Shengzhou University. .”
Whether it is the quality of students or the strength of the teachers, this year's mathematics department is the best, and it is very possible to produce the best graduates.
"Ning Chen, if possible, I really hope that you can give the first lesson to every student in the future. Your influence in their hearts is much greater than that of us. ”
“No problem, I also very much hope that I can bring some positive influence to them. I seem to be able to see my former self in them, which makes me feel full of hope.”
Ning Chen has a very special feeling for Shengzhou University. This makes Ning Chen sincerely hope that Shengzhou University can become better and better, and the students of Shengzhou University can also become more outstanding. . ……
After ending this episode, Ning Chen continued to look for some research topics related to iron-based superconductivity.
On this day, Ning Chen received news from Tao Wei.
In the news, Tao Wei said that the achievement rewards he had previously applied for for Ning Chen had been received. In addition to the academic award certificates, the scientific research funds awarded would also be transferred to Ning Chen's bank card.
Although this amount of funding is not comparable to Ning Chen’s income from doing horizontal projects, it is still a considerable amount of income.
In addition, because the project related to iron-based superconducting wire strips requires a relatively large workload, some research projects will be carried out at the Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science in the near future.
Tao Wei invited Ning Chen, hoping that Ning Chen could join the relevant research work again.
After reading the message from Tao Wei, Ning Chen was very willing to continue to join the research project on iron-based superconducting wire strips.
Ning Chen feels that this is the fastest way to quickly improve his experience in materials science, because after finishing his previous research on iron-based superconductivity, Ning Chen’s ideas for new topics are still relatively limited. .
But in a place like the Shengzhou National Laboratory of Materials Science, Ning Chen can come into contact with many domestic experts in materials science, which will be of great help in broadening his scientific research horizons.
Ning Chen had a deep understanding of this when he participated in projects at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Moreover, although this kind of national-level scientific research project is not as profitable as horizontal projects, it is even more helpful to an individual's development on the scientific research path than doing some vertical projects.
Putting aside these factors, as a world-leading researcher in the study of iron-based superconductivity, Ning Chen must be bound to take this matter seriously.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen replied to Tao Wei and expressed his willingness to join the project.
Tao Wei was also very happy that Ning Chen accepted his invitation and said that he would give Ning Chen news as soon as the project arrangements were finalized.
In the days that followed, because Ning Chen had limited ideas on iron-based superconductivity, he devoted some of his energy to the study of mathematical problems.
It happened that Song Xiyun sent Ning Chen some of her recent research. After Ning Chen read it, she also felt that Song Xiyun's research was very interesting.
“That’s right, Song Xiyun, after you send out these papers, it won’t be too far away from you to graduate with a Ph.D.”
“Graduating a Ph.D. from the Mathematics Department of Yanda is not what you imagined. It’s so easy. I’m still in the process of earning credits, and I’ve taken the time to do all this research. If you want to apply for graduation, you have to publish at least two foreign core journals, and if you apply for graduation in advance, the requirements are even higher. ”
Ning Chen thinks about it and thinks so. After all, Yan University has very high requirements for students, and Song Xiyun is not like herself, who receives all kinds of special treatment from the school. She can only complete the studies normally according to the school’s requirements. Credits for each subject, and then carry out research work.
"It doesn't matter, I believe you can graduate early."
Normally, it takes about three to five years to graduate with a doctorate, but with Song Xiyun's ability, it is possible to complete a doctorate in two years.
"I also hope that I can graduate earlier. If I graduate later than you, then I will become your junior schoolmate."
"That doesn't matter, I will call you I’ve called you senior so many times, it’s fair to call me junior to make up for it.”
“Humph, what else do you want to call me?”
Ning Chen didn’t dare to call me again. Thinking too much, he quickly changed the topic and said:
"By the way, I gave an opening speech to the freshmen of the School of Science a few days ago. I will send you some photos of the scene."
