Chapter 821 If poaching Xu Chuan doesn’t work, then poach his sister
After having a casual dinner in the hotel, Xu Chuan took a cold shower, wiped his hair and sat at his desk, flipping through his laptop.
After finishing my work on the CRHPC collider and the aerospace industry, I took advantage of the time I had when I came to Beijing for a meeting to learn about the advancements and scientific and technological developments at the forefront of academia.
Of course, his main focus is on the two fields of mathematics and physics.
After 24 years, the most interesting thing in the mathematics world is naturally the annual Abel Prize.
This year's Abel Prize was awarded to French mathematician Professor Michel Talagran.
In recognition of his pioneering contributions to probability theory and functional analysis, as well as outstanding applications in mathematical physics and statistics.
Looking at the photos and medals on the news, a trace of envy flowed from Xu Chuan's eyes.
Although he is definitely sure to win the Abel Prize, he may have to wait for at least another twenty or thirty years.
Because this award, known as the ‘Nobel Prize’ in mathematics, with a bonus amount almost the same as that of the Nobel Prize, is almost only awarded to mathematicians over the age of sixty.
This is a lifetime achievement award.
At his age, he still does not meet the standards of the Norwegian Science Selection. Even if he makes some concessions to top mathematicians, he may not get this medal until he is forty-five years old.
After all, in academia, the career before forty-five can be said to be the golden period for a scholar to do research.
In the world of physics, there wasn’t much new stuff in the first half of 2024.
Both the CRHPC organization and the CERN organization are verifying his unified theory of strong electricity.
It was a new result in astrophysics that caught his attention.
In the first half of the year, an astronomer named Alexia Lopez from the United Kingdom discovered a huge ring-shaped structure in the observable universe.
This cosmic structure, which is about 9 billion light-years away from the earth and is named the "Large Ring", has a diameter of an astonishing 1.3 billion light-years and a circumference of more than 4 billion light-years after calculation using various mathematical tools. Year.
If you could witness the spectacular sight of this 'big ring' in the night sky, its visual area would be equivalent to the size of 15 full moons.
This is also the largest 'single cosmic structure' in the observable universe.
Although there are many structures in the observable universe with diameters beyond this 'large ring'.
For example, the Sloane Great Wall and the Wuxian-Corona Borealis Great Wall are two examples.
The length of the former reaches 1.37 billion light-years, while the length of the latter even exceeds 10 billion light-years.
However, in terms of the definition of astrophysics, they are not considered to be a single cosmic structure.
Simply put, they are a patchwork of ‘single agencies’.
But this large ring discovered this year has broken all historical discoveries.
Because it seems to violate a basic assumption, the principle of the universe.
At present, the scientific community generally believes that large structures in the universe are mainly formed through the process of gravitational instability, and the theoretical upper limit of the size of structures formed by this process is about 1.2 billion light-years.
However, the newly discovered large ring structure clearly exceeds this limit, and the circumference of the large ring exceeds three times.
Theoretically, such a huge single cosmic structure cannot exist in the universe. It will collapse into several or more cosmic structures during the formation process.
Rather than existing stably in the universe.
This new discovery in astronomy physics indeed aroused Xu Chuan's interest.
Because of its existence, it may verify some of the theories in the void field theory he derived.
In the void field theory, which has not yet been made public to the physics community, the universe originates from the void, and only when the void is broken will the Higgs field and another field that constitutes dark matter and dark energy be formed.
However, in the derivation of void field theory, there may be a 'primordial void' that has not yet been broken and fissured in the universe.
There may be very little, but like antimatter, the primordial void may exist somewhere in a quiet place in the universe, where it has not yet begun to evolve.
If such a structure can be found, it will be of great help to the formation of the observable universe and the understanding of the universe.
With a flash of interest in his eyes, Xu Chuan connected to the VPN specially prepared for him by the security team and found the results disclosed by Professor Lopez.
What is interesting is that in the calculation of this super giant single universe structure 'macrocycle', in addition to using different statistical algorithms, he also used his previous research results, the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, to pass Various parameters such as radiation fluctuations and gravitational lensing are used to calculate the properties of large rings.
Looking at the downloaded data and papers, Xu Chuan took out a stack of draft paper from his backpack with a glint in his eyes.
If his speculation is correct, perhaps based on this result, he may obtain a completely new structure of the universe.
And it is extremely rare, and it may even provide some research ideas for the Einstein Rosen Bridge he has been studying, which is the time hole in science fiction movies and novels that can travel through the universe.
The late night lights stayed on until late at night before going out. Xu Chuan, who was tired but with a hint of excitement, forced himself to lie down on the bed.
After all, tomorrow, oh, I have to take Xu Xiao to Beihang University today, so I can’t stay up too late.
I glanced at the time on my phone screen, it was three forty-six in the morning.
It's okay, it's not too late.
Putting down his cell phone, Xu Chuan closed his eyes, but his mind was filled with the research he had just done.
This can also be regarded as a 'research aftereffect', just like catching up on the exciting part of a novel and not forgetting it even when you lie in bed.
He didn't know how long he stayed in bed before Xu Chuan fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next morning, he was woken up by his cell phone ringing.
A noisy ringtone rang in the bedroom. He touched his cell phone and pressed it subconsciously.
I don’t know how long it took, but a doorbell sounded outside the door.
Waking up from his sleep, Xu Chuan sat on the bed in confusion for a while before getting up and going out to open the door.
"Brother, it's nine o'clock, what time."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Xiao saw his brother's face looking depressed. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel a little bit?"
Yawning, Xu Chuan turned around and entered the room, and casually replied: "I stayed up late last night and was a little sleepy."
"Oh, will you continue to sleep for a while?"
Xu Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said.
"No, I'll wash up and have breakfast." Xu Chuan replied and walked into the bathroom.
Although I didn't get enough sleep, I definitely couldn't fall asleep now that I was awake. I really couldn't help but sleep for half an hour more at noon.
Beihang University, on campus.
The two siblings walked side by side towards the administration building. "Brother, what were you doing up late last night?" Xu Xiao asked curiously as he followed.
"A little research in physics, I forgot to check the time."
Xu Chuan replied casually and took her to find Academician Jiang Xinghuai of Beihang Institute of Technology.
He and Academician Jiang Xinghuai met at the bidding meeting for the manned space and lunar exploration project two years ago.
At that time, he was also invited to give a report on "Condensed Matter Physics" and "Grand Unified Framework Theory of Strongly Correlated Electronic Systems" at Beihang University, which was regarded as a favor.
After knocking on the door of the office, Xu Chuan took the lead and walked in as a "please come in" came from inside.
Behind the desk, Academician Jiang Xinghuai, who was drinking tea from a thermos cup and reading the newspaper, was stunned for a moment when he saw the person walking in. Then he quickly put down the tea cup and stood up to greet him with a smile.
"Hey, rare guest, what kind of wind brings you here?"
"Mr. Jiang."
Xu Chuan greeted him with a smile and said, "The International Lunar Biosphere Engineering Symposium is about to start. I just have time to come and see you."
Jiang Xinghuai laughed loudly and said: "Come on, the seminar will not start until three days. With your personality, if there is nothing else, I'm afraid it will take at least two days before you arrive."
He said this verbally, but Jiang Xinghuai was happy in his heart that Xu Chuan could come to see him, even if he might have something to ask for.
After all, you will only choose him if you remember him and are relatively close to him, right?
There are so many academicians across the country, but he is not special.
Even in the field of aerospace, there are scholars more famous than him.
After joking with a smile, Jiang Xinghuai stood up and walked to the closet with a smile. He took out a can of tea that he was reluctant to drink and prepared to make tea.
"Mr. Jiang, this is my sister, Xu Xiao, who is currently researching things related to human-computer interaction technology and bioelectrode chips."
After a few words of greeting, Xu Chuan took the initiative to introduce each other.
"Xiaoxiao, this is Academician Jiang Xinghuaijiang, the dean of Beihang Institute of Technology, a top expert in the fields of aerospace and robotics."
"Hello, Academician Jiang." Xu Xiao said hello obediently.
On the opposite side, Jiang Xinghuai smiled and said: "A double star, brother and sister are both talented. It is rare and enviable."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "To be honest with Mr. Jiang, I came here this time to ask you for help with something."
Jiang Xinghuai smiled and said: "Just say what you want. There is no need to go around in circles, as long as I can help."
Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "Then I will tell you directly."
After saying this, he organized his language and briefly explained the purpose of his visit to Academician Jiang Xinghuai.
After hearing what happened, Academician Jiang Xinghuai smiled and said, "Hey, I thought it was something so important that you could come out in person."
Smiling, he stood up and said: "It just so happens that there is a similar project here at the Institute of Engineering. Although it also controls machinery through neural electrical signals, the research direction is slightly different from Xu Xiao's. Let's go and see it together. Do you want to see it?”
Xu Chuan stood up and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Jiang."
Following Academician Jiang Xinghuai, the group came to the experimental building of Beihang Institute of Technology.
As they walked, Academician Jiang introduced him.
"We are working with the National University of Defense Technology to research a robotic arm or exoskeleton device that can be controlled through nerve signal resonance."
"If this technology is ultimately successful, it will not only make a breakthrough in exoskeletons, but it may also solve some medical problems, such as amputated limbs."
"At present, there is some progress, but it is not very big. We mainly encounter some problems in the resonance and simulation of neural signals."
Regarding Xu Chuan, Jiang Xinghuai did not hide it. Although this kind of project has a certain confidentiality, it depends on who is right.
Of course, when it comes to specific technical content, he will definitely not talk about it for the time being.
If cooperation is confirmed, it doesn't matter.
"Resonant synchronization of neural electrical signals?"
Following beside him, Xu Xiao arranged flowers and said: "This should be a relatively cutting-edge field. If I remember correctly, the leader in this field should be the University of Pennsylvania in the United States."
"They used the mapped neuron model to construct a discrete modular small-world neural network to conduct research in this area."
"But as far as I know, they should have been stuck in this regard for a long time."
Academician Jiang Xinghuai turned to look at Xu Xiao, with some surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm really not sure about this."
"We are studying together with the National University of Defense Technology. We mainly solve problems such as exoskeleton materials and mechanical equipment. The neural interface is the one responsible for the research."
After a slight pause, he then said: "Are Xiaoxiao interested in taking a job at Beihang University?"
"Huh?"
Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, unable to realize why the topic suddenly turned to this.
Smiling coquettishly, she quickly said: "I already have a job here, and I have no intention of leaving my job for the time being. I'm sorry, Academician Jiang."
On the basis that she has controlled a brain neural interface company with a valuation of more than 20 billion, and she has already worked hard in this field, she has to be crazy to agree to work at Beihang University, right?
Jiang Xinghuai smiled 'amiably', and then said seductively: "Don't refuse in a hurry, you come, there is no problem for me to take you to participate in this project personally."
"This is a joint research project with the National University of Defense Technology, and the future is very good. Apart from other things, after the project is completed, there will be no problem in helping you to become a full professor."
It is impossible to invite Xu Chuan to work at Beihang University. In his eyes, all domestic universities are probably the same, even Shuimu and Peking University.
After all, his own influence and ability have long exceeded the university's help to him,
On the contrary, whichever university he goes to and which university he develops in will be called a bright and magnificent one.
Have you not seen the development of Nanjing University in recent years? It is the envy of domestic universities. From being outside the top 20 before, it went directly into the top five last year.
This year's funding estimates can probably be mentioned again.
Other universities were poaching Xu Chuan, and the president of NTU was afraid that he would rush to his home, hold a knife to his neck and get furious.
Unless Xu Chuan volunteers, other universities will not be able to poach him.
So Jiang Xinghuai set his sights on Xu Xiao to see if he could poach her.
After all, she is Xu Chuan's biological sister. If she could be poached, Beihang Airlines could take off with her.
Of course, he was just giving it a try. After all, Xu Xiao’s identity and background were here. If he could really be invited, Nanda would probably not miss this opportunity.
