Chapter 67 A new journey

When he was in his hometown, Xu Chuan specifically talked to his mentor Chen Zhengping about this issue because he was worried about encountering problems from his previous life.

Although he was a little surprised by his thoughts, Chen Zhengping still explained it to him.

For now, as long as purely theoretical research does not involve energy, military industry and nuclear physics, there is basically no need to worry about this issue.

Cutting-edge theoretical physics results such as high-energy physics, particle physics, and quantum physics are basically open and transparent. Most of the papers and materials are published in major journals and can be viewed by all countries.

The research results in this area, although important, are for who knows how many years in the future.

Just like Professor Witten's string theory, do you think it's important? If it can be confirmed, it will be a result that changes the entire physics world.

But if you want to verify string theory, you will probably have to wait until the next century or even the next century.

In addition, these research results are basically public, so no country will overly hinder or force scholars in this field to leave or stay.

So there is no problem in going out to study these aspects of physics and pure mathematics.

No matter how great your achievements are in this regard, no one will be too much in the way of your return to China.

Just like Mr. Yang, his contribution to the world of physics is huge.

Phase change theory, theoretical explanation of superconductor magnetic flux quantization, time reversal theory, parity non-conservation law, Yang Mills gauge field theory

Any of these theories and knowledge would be beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime, but they still come back.

Mr. Qiu is known as the Emperor of Mathematics and has won all the highest awards in the world of mathematics, including the Veblen Medal, the Fields Medal, and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.

Some American scholars commented: "Qiu Chengtong alone is worth half of the mathematics department of Harvard University."

Such a top mathematician also came back, so Chen Zhengping asked Xu Chuan to study abroad without fear, as long as he didn't touch things in sensitive areas, he didn't have to worry about it.

Xu Chuan still agrees with this statement. The reason why he was trapped in the United States in his previous life was because of his exposure to nuclear energy applications.

Therefore, it would be fine if the papers and research he published while in college were purely theoretical.

After graduating from college and getting a degree certificate, he will probably go back to study as an exchange student or international student.

In his previous life, he reached his own limit in both applied physics and condensed matter physics. It can also be said that he reached the limit of the world.

Although physics is huge and he still has a lot to learn, if he continues to study physics, he will only be able to improve his knowledge in this area and will not be able to make breakthroughs.

The way to be strong lies in challenging oneself and climbing to new heights. In this life, he chose to major in mathematics in the hope of using mathematics to assist physics to break through the bottleneck and see different scenery.

In addition, there are also some practical applications.

For example, controllable nuclear fusion.

When it comes to research on controllable nuclear fusion, even twenty years later, not only is he the first person in the world, he is still one of the top ones.

After he solved the problem of superconducting materials in his previous life, the new round of problems in controllable nuclear fusion shifted to the control of ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence in the reaction chamber.

And this is a hard problem in mathematics.

Xu Chuan had a vague intuition that if this problem could be solved, then controllable nuclear fusion might really be possible.

So although he still had some concerns, he also had reasons to go out and study.

August time flies by and the school season arrives in September. Packing his luggage, Xu Chuan once again set foot on the road ahead.

He did not wait until September 1st, but came to NTU to report a few days in advance.

This was his own action. Although the president of Nanjing University asked him to come and greet the new students in person on September 1st, Xu Chuan felt that this was a bit too showy and refused.

At this stage, he is still just a student, and the focus should be on learning, not these insignificant aspects.

"Teacher."

After arriving at NTU, Xu Chuan dragged his luggage and found his mentor Chen Zhengping.

"Huh? Why did you come here early."

In the office, Chen Zhengping was a little surprised. He remembered that Liu Gaojun said that he would personally greet Xu Chuan on September 1st. Today is only August 27th. Did he remember the date wrongly?

"Oh, I felt that the greeting was a bit too ostentatious, so I told the principal and came over in advance. At this stage, my focus should be on studying." Xu Chuan explained.

Chen Zhengping smiled happily, stood up and said, "It's good that you have such an idea. At this stage, your focus should really be on your studies. Although the welcoming ceremony will help the school's reputation, it is not good for you. The pressure is great.”

"Let's go. I'll take you to go through the admission procedures first. Just leave your luggage in my office first."

Xu Chuan nodded and followed Chen Zhengping all the way to the Academic Affairs Office, chatting as they walked.

While walking, Chen Zhengping briefly introduced his research field:

"If you have read some of my papers, you should know that my research direction in physics is condensed matter physics and high energy physics, but this has been my research direction for the past ten years."

"Now I have turned my focus to materials physics, mainly studying the structure and physical properties of low-dimensional materials, as well as spin electronic materials. Some of the doctoral students I now lead are also in this area."

"Of course, I have no requirements for you in this regard. I have collected some information about you. You are very talented in mathematics and physics, and you are good at independent study and research, so I do not force you to join my research direction like other students. .”

"Well, if you're interested, you can try it too."

"If you are not interested, at least you should tell me your learning goals and areas so that I can understand something. During the summer vacation, you should have thought about this, right?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "I have thought about it. During college, my learning goals in physics were mainly in the field of quantum field theory."

"If you want to be more detailed, let's take particle physics as the learning direction."

Chen Zhengping nodded, not dissatisfied because Xu Chuan did not participate in his research.

At his height, he no longer cares about these things. On the contrary, he hopes to see the flowers of the motherland bloom.

What's more, condensed matter physics was his previous research field. Although particle physics is somewhat different from condensed matter physics, the research objects are just different.

One uses quantum field theory to study condensed matter physics, while the other uses quantum field theory to study elementary particles.

He can still impart some knowledge in this area.
