Shen Qi himself was not idle, he began the preparation for the Nobel Prize in physics.

One of the conditions for upgrading from level 13 to level 14 in physics requires Shen Qi to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The Nobel Prize in Physics is very difficult to obtain, Shen Qi has consulted the results of the Nobel Prize in Physics from 1980 to the present, most of which are application-oriented, and a few award-winning topics in basic physics research are also supported by experimental or measurement data.

The reasons for awarding the Nobel Prize in Physics to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences can be roughly summarized into two categories:

1. What scientists have discovered, what they have measured, and what they have done on what topics.

2. A scientist has made pioneering contributions in a certain field, and these research results have led to the discovery of such and such a phenomenon or object.

Historical data shows that most of the awards for the first category are experimental physicists and applied physicists, and most of the awards for the second category are theoretical physicists. Ten times as many winners in the first category as in the second category.

Obviously, it is difficult to find and measure anything by relying on brain supplementation alone, so Shen Qi decided to start with the second type of approach, providing theoretical principles that can be verified by contemporary experimental equipment or observation instruments.

There are some fields that can be intervened, such as condensed matter physics, astrophysics, cosmology, space science, and so on.

Physics has developed to this day, and it is almost impossible to win the Nobel Prize for a fairly mature classical physics topic, unless the unsolved classical problems are solved.

Frontier scientific fields are hot, and human beings are always curious about the unknown or half-understood fields.

There are no front-line researchers in the physics department of Shen Qi Mathematics and Physics Research Center, so Shen Qi personally presides over the scientific research work of the physics room.

During his time at Princeton, Qi Shen published a paper on condensed matter physics, "A Study on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Groups", which was published in Physical Review Letters.

The topological phase transitions and topological phases of condensed matter have been hot topics in recent years, and three physicists from the United States and the United Kingdom jointly won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics for their related research results.

Shen Qi believes that his PRL condensed matter physics paper published a few years ago has room for improvement, and he began to plan a sequel to "A Study on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Groups".

In Shen Qi's planning, this series of topics consists of three parts, the first part is "Research on Defect Topology Based on Spherical Stable Homotopy Groups", which is improved on the basis of the Adams spectrum sequence, and in the process of solving the Homotopy group, a new result is calculated, h0b1^4∈E2^9, 4p^2q+q is a permanent cycle in the Adams spectrum sequence.

The first part is almost purely theoretical research, and the second part, Shen Qi tentatively named "Application Expansion of Defect Topology Research in Condensed Matter Materials", which focuses on theoretical research and combines theory with application.

The general idea has been there for a long time, and you can apply for the project if you have a general project framework, the estimated academic impact and effect, and the research funding required.

Shen Qi began to write the project report of "Application and Expansion of Defect Topology Research in Condensed Matter Materials", and his mathematical research center entered the actual combat stage of mathematics and physics.

At the same time that Shen Qi was drafting the project approval report of the first physics project of the Mathematical Research Center, news came from the United States that "Systematization and Hodge's Conjecture" was published in the "Annals of Mathematics" in the form of a special issue.

The establishment of the SL system and the proof of the Hodge conjecture were officially selected as one of the top ten scientific advances of the year by Time.

Globally, four of the top 10 scientific research achievements of the year selected by Time are from the field of biomedicine, three from physics, two from chemistry, and only one from the field of mathematics.

In the latest issue of "Time", the cover character is Shen Qi.

"Time" commented on Shen Qi, the cover character of this issue: "He proved the Riemann conjecture, Goldbach conjecture, and Hodge conjecture, and it took only five years to solve three mathematical problems, he is known as the god of contemporary mathematics, and he is Shen Qi." ”

The Shen Qi Mathematical Research Center of Yanda is boiling.

"Director Shen, special issue! Special issue! "Annals of Mathematics" has published a special issue for you!"

Xiao Junlong held the special issue of "Systematization and Hodge Conjecture" and ran around the building of the Academy of Sciences to tell each other.

For those who study mathematics, being able to publish a paper in the Annals of Mathematics in this life is considered a success.

A special issue of the world's best mathematics journal, which is something that many people dare not think of.

"Xiao Hu, look, special issue, special issue, special issue of our Director Shen's "Mathematical Yearbook"!" Xiao Junlong met a researcher from the Academy of Mathematics on the first floor.

Researcher Xiaohu gave a thumbs up: "Director Shen is awesome!"

"Old Chen, look, special issue, special issue, special issue of our Director Shen's "Mathematical Yearbook"!" Xiao Junlong met Lao Chen, a professor at the School of Mathematics, on the second floor.

Lao Chen sighed: "Director Shen, he is a very rare talent, a treasure of the country." ”

When Xiao Junlong went up to the third floor, he met Lu Guozhen in the corridor: "Old Lu, look, special issue, special issue, this is our ......"

"This is your Director Shen's special issue. Lu Guozhen interrupted Xiao Junlong's words, and he said: "Xiao Xiao, your Director Shen's special issue has nothing to do with you, why do you give me an illusion, as if this special issue was written by you?"

Xiao Junlong looked at the cover of the special issue and found that the second in the list of authors was Lu-Guozhen: "Niu, Lao Lu, you are also one of the authors of the special issue!

Lu Guozhen straightened his face: "Can you respect me a little, Dr. Xiao Junlong, I am the vice president now, and the level is not much lower than your Director Shen." ”

Xiao Junlong was one of Lu Guozhen's favorite students when he was an undergraduate, and he was able to eat in the library group of the academy and wait for death without being driven away, and Lu Guozhen said good things for him.

"Dean Lu, the one I respect the most is you, you are my mentor, if you hadn't protected me, I would have been driven away. "Xiao Junlong does not forget his teacher's kindness.

"Xiao Xiao, you have been high-spirited recently, the prodigal son turned back and swept away the decline, this is a good phenomenon, it seems that the Shen Qi Mathematical Research Center is more suitable for you. Lu Guozhen patted Xiao Junlong on the shoulder and asked, "Have you talked to someone?" The girls in your center are more handsome than the other, you are almost thirty years old, don't miss the opportunity, there is a suitable partner to deal with first." ”

Xiao Junlong waved his hand again and again: "The girls in our center are all Director Shen's favorite concubines, how dare I think of anything wrong?"

At this time, Ou Ye passed by at work, she glanced at Xiao Junlong coldly, nodded to Lu Guozhen, and left.

Lu Guozhen slapped Xiao Junlong: "What a favorite concubine, what nonsense, I've watched too many TV series!"

"Director Shen is a decent person with a good style of life, Xiao Junlong, you talk nonsense again, be careful that I discount your legs!" Lu Guozhen said loudly at Ou Ye's back.

Ouye walked to the end of the hallway, turned a corner, and disappeared without looking back.

"It's over, Ou Niangniang went to find a forty-meter-long knife. Xiao Junlong slapped himself and said angrily: "I blame me for my big mouth, what nonsense to tell the truth, mentioning concubines in front of the main palace, this is a taboo in the workplace!"

"You still say!" Lu Guozhen kicked at Xiao Junlong and shouted: "Get out!"
