Chapter 463: Do You Know Professor Xu? (2/3)
"Hey!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Professor Xu from Huaguo has come to our Oxford University!" a student said to his friend: "He is the most famous astrophysicist at present, an authoritative figure in superconductivity, and he knows the bilayer and trilayer superconductivity of graphene, right? Professor Xu discovered it!"
“...”
"Why did he come to Oxford? Did he come to an academic conference?" asked the student's friend, "If so... Then I'm going to listen to Professor Xu's lecture. ”
"It's not. ”
"Didn't you read the school announcement?" said the student, "It seems that we at Oxford University invited Professor Xu to study gaseous carbon atoms together." ”
"Gaseous carbon atoms?"
"You mean... Professor Will's project?" The student friend said in horror, "This... Doesn't this project say that there is no room for progress? Why did you invite Professor Xu? And I don't think even if Professor Xu were invited, I probably wouldn't be able to study it. ”
"Hmm!"
"I think so too. ”
The project that Professor Weir is researching is quite well-known at Oxford University, and this popularity is not very powerful, but because since the establishment of the project, even five percent of the progress has not been completed, and a lot of money has been spent, and nothing is known as a result.
Many colleagues admired Professor Will's persistence, which of course had some pejorative connotations, knowing that it was impossible, but they were trying.
"Ugh..."
"I think Professor Xu is going to be miserable by Professor Will this time. The student sighed and said silently: "All the professors and scholars in the entire Oxford University are not optimistic about this project, and he is willing to participate." ”
"It's not..."
"I suspect Professor Xu didn't know about this at all, otherwise he would never have come. ”
"Hmm!"
meanwhile
Xu Mang sat in Professor Will's office, smeared the bread he had just bought with a layer of moldy tofu, then put aside a little olive vegetables, and finally added a bag of Fuling mustard as a garnish, and the extremely luxurious Fuling mustard sandwich was completed.
“...”
"Professor Xu?"
"Is this the legendary Huaguo cheese?" Professor Will saw that Xu Mang had smeared a piece of something that looked like milk, and this thing seemed to have a pungent smell, so he immediately frowned and said, "It seems to have deteriorated, so it shouldn't be edible." ”
"No, no, no!"
"This thing has to spoil before it can be eaten. Xu Mang said with a smile: "Only when there is deterioration can the soul be obtained." ”
“...”
Professor Will was speechless for a moment, he couldn't imagine that when food spoiled, it could still be eaten, which completely violated science.
"You don't understand!"
"In your world, food is simply raw to cooked, but in our world, food is born to cooked, and we inject souls, and only food that has a soul is called food. Xu Mang said solemnly.
Professor Will couldn't understand a little when he heard Xu Mang's words, in his worldview, such as a piece of chicken, put it in a pot and cook it with water, and then sprinkle a little pepper, it is almost ready to eat.
"Professor Xu?"
"Have you ever been exposed to gaseous carbon atoms before?" asked Professor Will.
"Nope..."
"I've never even heard of it. Xu Mang said solemnly: "In the past, all I came into contact with was graphene, and I understood carbon atoms according to superconducting thinking, and I explored very little about physical properties... Hardly. ”
"Actually, it's about the same in between. Professor Will said, "I'll take you to the lab the day after tomorrow, and you'll know what's going on when you get there." ”
"Good. ”
After eating bread,
Xu Mang saw the time for a while, it was only half past two in the afternoon, and then Xu Mang proposed to go shopping in Oxford alone. Professor Will didn't know anything about Xu Mang's past, and thought that the so-called shopping was to see the scenery or something.
"Good. ”
"That's right... Where will you stay at night?" asked Professor Will.
"I stay in a hotel. ”
"My wife helped me book a nearby hotel before coming. Xu Mang took out his mobile phone and glanced at it: "What is it called, McDonald Rudolph Resort... Four and a half stars. ”
afterwards
Xu Mang began to wander around Oxford University, of course, in order not to be recognized, Xu Mang brought a baseball cap and then wore a pair of glasses.
Not to mention,
The environment of Oxford University is quite beautiful, but it is impossible to tell whether it is the school or the street, the whole town and the school are integrated, and I don't know where the boundaries of the school are.
Wandering around,
Xu Mang was lost in the town, of course, he didn't dare to run around, in case he ran into someone else's classroom, his face would be lost.
"Hello?"
"Excuse me... How to get to the Institute of Physics?" asked Xu Mang.
"There it is!"
Xu Mang saw church-like buildings, in fact, they were all about the same, most of them were in the medieval style, after all, they were inclined to Gothic.
According to the old rules,
Xu Mang quietly slipped into a large classroom, perhaps by luck, Xu Mang found three international students, and they were all female students.
"Are you international students?" Xu Mang sat next to the most beautiful of the three, of course... Compared with Xiaoman, this girl is still a few grades behind.
“...”
“...”
“...”
At this point,
The girl beside Xu Mang frowned and said solemnly, "I'm sorry... I don't accept anyone's pursuits. ”
Xu Mang: ???
Yes?
What do you mean?
I couldn't understand what she was saying at all.
"You misunderstood!" Xu Mang smiled awkwardly but politely: "I'm not here to pursue you, I'm here to listen, besides... If you let me pursue you like this, people will laugh at me if they know it!"
Hearing Xu Mang's words, the girl glared at Xu Mang, but after such a glare, she found that the neurotic next to her was quite handsome, polite, and probably related to his glasses, and there was a feeling of bookishness.
"You..."
"Forget it. The girl snorted coldly: "Which department are you from?"
"Me?"
"I'm from the physics department of Fuda. Xu Mang said with a smile: "Come and travel, and listen to the class by the way." ”
Fuda?
Is the magic capital reinstated?
suddenly
The three girls became interested, and one of them, a girl with glasses, asked Xu Mang, "Then do you know Professor Xu?"
"Yes!"
"How?"
"Are you his fans?" said Xu Mang with a smile.
"Uh-huh!"
"I'm going to marry him. "This girl is quite bold and dares to face the lady of the palace.
however
This frightened Xu Mang, but fortunately Xiao Man was not by his side, otherwise he might have been beaten at night.
"You..."
'I heard that Professor Xu's girlfriend is beautiful... You don't have that chance anymore. Xu Mang said cautiously: "Be a good person, don't daydream." ”
"I found you—" The girl was about to fight back, when she was surprised to find that the boy had some familiar faces, as if she had seen them somewhere, but then the professor came and interrupted her thoughts.
Followed by
I started the class directly, and I didn't even call the roll call.
But
Xu Mang listened and found that something was wrong, although he was talking about general relativity and cosmology, it was obvious that there was something unprofessional about these contents.
"Classmates?"
"What kind of profession do you have?" asked Xu Mang in a low voice.
"Physics and Philosophy. ”
Yes?
Physics and Philosophy?
What discipline is it?
Xu Mang was a little confused, and for the first time he heard that there was a discipline of physics and philosophy in physics.
Can physics and philosophy be linked?
Not to mention,
After Xu Mang's careful analysis, he really found several physicists and philosophers through history, such as the famous Descartes, a man who combines philosophy, physics, mathematics and theology.
Another example is Newton... The same is true, but Xu Mang suddenly realized that it seems that in Newton's time, physics is called natural philosophy, right?
"Here's a challenge for you. ”
"The capability and momentum of a particle with mass m at time T0 are E0 and P0 respectively, assuming that R(TO)=R0, apart from the above accidents, does not affect the free movement of the particle, which of you can calculate the relationship between its ability, momentum and time?"
"Does anyone know?"
Stage
The middle-aged professor asked with a smile on his face.
“...”
“...”
“...”
There was silence on the scene, and no one accepted this so-called challenge.
For these students, many people hate this professor because he always likes to ask unexplained questions and make the students disgraced, and then he is happy and doesn't know what to think.
Of course
The students also asked other people, and the answer was the same, the professor was a bit of a weird narcissistic type, and he could ask questions to students, but students couldn't ask him any questions, otherwise it would be miserable.
Although the professors have very different styles, it is still unlucky to encounter this kind of eccentric narcissistic type.
"Give you ten minutes, and I hope that in ten minutes, someone will solve this problem for me. The middle-aged professor laughed.
Suddenly,
There was silence.
However, Xu Mang found that many people were just pretending to be fishing, and they didn't put their minds on the problem at all, and they were full of curiosity about it.
"Huh?"
"You don't seem to be very interested. Xu Mang asked in a low voice, "What is the situation?"
"Don't mention it!"
"This professor... He likes to play tricks on people and often asks difficult questions in class. "As long as the students can't do it, they start talking about it, and they can talk about their achievements, academic qualifications, knowledge, and the many opportunities they have obtained," said the student student. ”
"I like to be obsessed with my own life... Anyway... Super weird!" The girl said, "But... This professor is amazing!"
Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, it was really a big world.
now
Revisited the problem on the blackboard, which seems to be a question about the expansion of the universe, mainly calculating the tensors, momentum, and frequency ratios of time in the expanding universe.
It's not hard...
Xu Mang only glanced at it with his peripheral vision and knew how to solve this problem.
"Can you lend me a pen and paper?" asked Xu Mang.
“...”
"What are you going to do?" the girl frowned.
"Do the question. ”
"Do the question?"
"Yes!"
With a hint of doubt, the girl handed the paper and pen to Xu Mang.
Boom,
One minute's time,
Xu Mang solved the problem, glanced at the stunned girl beside him, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
subsequently
Taking advantage of the professor's inattention, he slipped out the back door.
The girl who came back to her senses picked up the white paper full of answers, her face full of confusion.
He...
Who is he?
"Oh?"
"Has anyone solved it?"
suddenly
The professor saw a girl in the back row holding a blank piece of paper, and said with a smile: "Come up and write the answer on the blackboard." ”
......
