Professor Cui and Chairman Zhu recommended Shen Qi as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Physics, and Shen Qi could not treat the two old men badly, so he invited the two Nobel laureates to have a meal to show his gratitude.

Eating is secondary, the emphasis is on communication.

Cui and Zhu are quite old, but compared with the other four Chinese Nobel Prize winners in physics, they are young, they are healthy, can eat and drink, chew steaks, and drink some red wine.

The youngest of the other four Nobel laureates is also close to 90 years old, and they are living at home for the rest of their lives.

Shen Qi won the Fields Medal in his twenties, and will hit the Nobel Prize next year, the two old men praised Shen Qi, and the Chinese physics community needs a successor to carry the banner of the new era, and they feel that Shen Qi is the most suitable candidate.

Old man Cui smoked, he smoked all his life, couldn't quit, he lit a cigarette, said: "I was born in the countryside, I have been working in the field since I was a child, but my academic performance has not been delayed, mathematics, physics and chemistry, Chinese and English often have full marks. I have done farm work, I have strong hands-on ability, I like to do physics experiments, I do it for a lifetime, and doing experiments is more addictive than smoking. ”

"Cui Lao is also a scholar, amazing. When he was a professor of mathematics at Princeton, Professor Cui was a professor in the Department of Physics at the University, and the two were alumni with a background in the University.

Chairman Zhu, who once held a key position in the US energy sector, was born in the United States, and his family was a scholar, his father and aunt were chemists, his mother was an economist, his elder brother was a medical scientist, and his younger brother was a political scientist.

Schultz said his family lacked a mathematician, so he studied mathematics and won the Fields Medal.

Chairman Zhu's situation is similar to Schultz's, their family lacks a physicist, so he studied physics and won the Nobel Prize in physics.

Shen Qi said: "Chairman Zhu, I have a little relationship with you, when I was in high school, I did a physics competition problem, which was adapted from your laser cooling experiment, requiring me to calculate a physical parameter, and our competition team made it by myself, which is really difficult enough." ”

Chairman Zhu said with a smile: "It must be difficult, it is this experiment that won me the Nobel Prize, and there is a year when the IPhO finale is about this experiment." ”

Shen Qi raised his red wine glass: "I am also destined for the two seniors, I am about to get married, if the two seniors are in China when I get married, I still hope to attend my wedding." ”

"Good thing. ”

"Congratulations. ”

The two old men raised their glasses and wished Shen Qi a smooth marriage and a beautiful return.

After eating with the two Nobel Prize old men, Shen Qi returned to his home in the elevator building.

Ou Ye was very diligent today, she cleaned the house, made a soup, and made a few side dishes.

The soup is okay, and the dishes are average, but this is Ou Ye's intention after all.

Shen Qi poured two taels of white wine, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves with a pair of chopsticks: "What day is today, Mrs. Shen cooks herself?"

"I haven't become your wife yet. Ou Ye filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Shen Qi: "You really don't know?"

Shen Qi: "What do you know?"

"You're on the list, co-opted academicians. Ou Ye handed the phone to Shen Qi and asked Shen Qi to watch the news.

According to the mobile phone news, the Academy of Sciences issued an announcement today that the correspondence review of the co-opted academicians of the Academy of Sciences has ended.

150 people made it to the preliminary list of candidates, the youngest being Shen Qi, 26 years old, and the oldest being a medical professor at 86 years old.

The youngest candidate is a full 60 years old from the oldest, a jiazi, an era.

Shen Qi was nominated as a candidate for academician of the Department of Mathematical Physics of the Academy of Sciences, and after the communication review, all academicians of the department will be voted for and the conference review will be conducted.

The correspondence review is the first election, the voting election of all academicians of the Faculty is the second election, and the conference review is the third election.

The third choice is to raise your hands and clap your hands, go through a form, and the most important thing is the second choice.

It is said that after the results of the second election were announced, intensive preparations have begun in full swing, and the Academy of Sciences will announce the results of the second election in the near future.

"22 people were selected for the list of co-opted academicians of the Department of Mathematical Physics, and the usual situation is that more than half of the candidates are unsuccessful, and only one-third of them are finally co-opted as academicians. In other words, I can only be elected as an academician if I get more than two-thirds of the votes of all academicians in the Department of Mathematics and Physics. Shen Qi quickly calculated the probability of winning the bid.

"You're the youngest to be in the 150-man squad, which is already remarkable. Ou ** admired Shen Qi, and she sandwiched a potato slice for Shen Qi to show encouragement.

"The election of academicians should be fair and just, there won't be any shady scenes, right?" Shen Qi knew that there were 153 academicians in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, that is, 153 valid votes, of which nearly 20 academicians were very familiar with Shen Qi, and about 30 academicians had dealt with Shen Qi.

There are 100 academicians in the fields of mathematics and physics, and Shen Qi is not familiar with them at all, and he doesn't even have their contact information.

"I need to get more than 100 votes to be safe. Shen Qi called Academician Pan and turned off the phone.

Shen Qi called Academician Wang, the dean of the Yan University School of Mathematics, and the number you called cannot be reached for the time being.

"This ...... The academicians were all locked up to vote and confiscate their mobile phones?" Shen Qi was inexplicably a little apprehensive, he was eager to become an academician, but if he couldn't be rated as an academician, he was embarrassed to get married.

Ou Ye was more sober: "Even you can't contact Academician Pan and Dean Wang, who are very familiar with you, which shows that the selection of academicians is fair." ”

The next day, Shen Qi went to work at Yan University and found that all the four academicians of the Academy of Sciences were missing.

Several academicians of the Academy of Physics could not be contacted.

This situation lasted for three days, and Shen Qi passed three days without giving up.

Although the state has regulations that non-academic factors are resolutely eliminated in the process of co-opting academicians, officials at or above the department level are refused to become candidates, and all are selected based on academic achievements and contributions to the country and disciplines and future impact, but Shen Qi is still not at ease, what if he is not selected?

On the fourth day, Shen Qi received a phone call.

"Hello, Professor Shen Qishen?" the voice on the phone was a calm male voice.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I am Bai Jinyuan, executive chairman of the presidium of the Academy of Sciences, and I hereby verbally inform Professor Shen that at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will go to the No. 1 conference hall of the Academy of Sciences to participate in the announcement of the election of co-opted academicians, please be on time. The written notice will be handed to you by the President of Yan University in one to two hours, and I will see you tomorrow. The leader of the Academy of Sciences was very good, and hung up the phone after the notice.

Of course he is a cow, Shen Qi knows that the other identity of this Chairman Bai is Dean Bai, the president of the Academy of Sciences.

Dean Bai called in person, and it seems that there is a drama. Shen Qi returned home and hugged his fiancée who was taking a nap and kissed him.
