The question of what major to study in college has been plaguing Jiangshui for a long time, and of course it is impossible to solve it in a short time and a half. He chatted with Hu Peiwei for a few words, and then went back to the dormitory. As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhang Yuanheng talking endlessly:

“…… Although the Department of Astronomy of Jingshi University has a reputation, it may not be the strongest, let alone be strong in every research direction. You must know that there are more than a dozen branches of astronomy, such as celestial mechanics, astrophysics, cosmochemistry, radio astronomy, and so on, and each branch has several different research directions. How many people are there in the astronomy department of Jingshi University? Even if they are covered in iron, how many nails can they make? As far as I know, the astronomical mechanics and astrometry of the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are better than those of Jingshi University. ”

Wei Shan nodded on the side: "You're right, the ruler is short and the inch is long, there must be shortcomings in Jingshi University—— you have been talking for more than half an hour, do you want to drink some water and rest?"

"I'm not thirsty!" Zhang Yuanheng flatly refused the intermission request, "and it's not that there are shortcomings in Jingshi University, but that every university that holds astronomy majors has its own housekeeping skills, for example, the astronomy department of Northwest Institute of Technology relies on the National Time Service Center and is unique in the world in time measurement. ”

Merlin lay on the bed, holding "Complex Analysis: Visualization Methods" in his hand, and said casually: "The key is that you can go to Jingshi University?"

Zhang Yuanheng jumped up immediately like a second kick on fire: "How do you know that I won't be able to go to class? Who told you that you won't have a chance in class C? It seems as if you will definitely be able to go to it! What's more, this is the first time I have participated in the workshop, even if I can't do it this time, I will still have a chance next time." Besides, what if you can't go to Jingshi University? According to statistics, about half of the academicians in the astronomy direction of the Chinese Academy of Sciences do not have a background in Jingshi University. What does this mean? It means that all roads lead to Rome!"

Merlin didn't even lift his head, and slowly turned a page of the book: "It's true that all roads lead to Rome, but some people were born to live in Rome, and you, now live in Kiribati on the Pacific Ocean." ”

Zhang Yuanheng was so angry that he trembled, if he hadn't taken care of his own strength value being too low, he would have rushed up and fought with him by now: "You are amazing! Why didn't you enter Class A? You don't pee to take pictures of what you look like, and you still want to chase Hu Peiwei, I think you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat - wishful thinking!"

Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly walked over and stood between the two: "Let's discuss and discuss, quarrel and quarrel, it's not right to swear and make personal attacks!"

Merlin can still read the book calmly: "I didn't enter Class A, so I'm studying to meet the upcoming national finals of the Olympiad." As long as you can win the first prize in the country, enter Class A and get the exemption quota, you will definitely be able to get nine out of ten, and you will be able to spend money in Jingshi University in the future. And what about you? Welcome to Jingshi University!"

Zhang Yuanheng was so angry that he lost his mind, and he rushed up to tear it up.

Wei Shan hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Yuanheng: "Don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil!" We are all members of the workshop, and we belong to the stage of being investigated, if we are found out by Jingshi University in the dormitory, we will not be disqualified?"

Zhang Yuanheng shouted with his teeth and claws: "I just want to die with him!"

Merlin said contemptuously, "Crazy! ”

I don't know if I was worried that Zhang Yuanheng would really make a move to break the net, or if I felt that the dormitory was too noisy to read the book, Merlin got up and went out with the book after speaking, leaving Zhang Yuanheng jumping in the dormitory: "You are a madman! Your whole family is crazy!"

The next morning, the University arranged a lecture for all the members of the workshop.

According to the poster information, He Yuanhuai, the speaker of the lecture, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a professor of the Department of Materials of Jingshi University, and the director of the State Key Laboratory of High-Performance Luminescent Materials. Looking at the expressions of the other classmates, Jiang Shuiyuan was slightly embarrassed: I don't know how much others know, at least I haven't heard of this academician's name before.

Fortunately, Academician He Yuanhuai's lecture was not about his academic research, but about his understanding of scientific research and innovation based on his personal growth and work experience. During the period, many interesting anecdotes from the academic community were interspersed, which made everyone listen to them with relish, and before they knew it, two hours had passed.

The lecture was followed by a half-hour Q&A session.

To be honest, Academician He's report obviously takes into account the level of the audience, so the content is very easy to understand, mainly thinking of the role of guiding enlightenment and stimulating interest. And the audience are all high school students who are in the stage of accumulating basic knowledge, and they haven't even touched the threshold of scientific research, let alone innovation, so naturally there is nothing worth asking.

As soon as the host announced that he had entered the question session, the audience immediately erected a dense forest of arms, some swaying like seaweed, drifting in the waves, and some trying to stretch out their arms, eager to poke their hands into the host's eyes. Even the cold and poisonous tongue such as Merlin, and the arrogant and domineering like Wei Xiao are not exempt from vulgarity.

Jiang Shuiyuan secretly smacked his tongue and asked Wei Shan, who was about to poke his hand to the ceiling, next to him: "What questions do you have to ask?"

"No problem!"

"No problem, are you still raising your hand?"

"It's not to ask a question!" Wei Shan replied confidently: "There are only a few days in the workshop, and there are not many opportunities to shine on such a big occasion, and there are even fewer opportunities for academicians to remember." Didn't you notice that the people who raised their hands were basically from class B and class C?

While he was talking, the moderator had already chosen the first questioner. To Jiang Shuiyuan and others' surprise, he chose Zhang Yuanheng. Didn't he go out today and look at the yellow calendar?

Wei Shan's face was full of horror: "I suddenly have a bad premonition!"

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded heavily: "I feel the same way!"

Zhang Yuanheng took the microphone: "Dear Academician He, students, hello everyone, I am Zhang Yuanheng from Shudi Jiazhou Middle School, and I am honored to be able to listen to Academician He's wonderful speech on scientific research and innovation, which has benefited me a lot." ”

Well, it seems quite normal. Could it be that he has changed his mind and started from scratch?

Zhang Yuanheng continued: "In Academician He's speech just now, I first mentioned that the core element of innovation is to achieve new understanding or obtain new results, which is a creative intellectual activity based on breaking through the original understanding. Innovation includes new scientific theories, new inventions, new technologies, new materials, new ideas, new cultures, new systems, etc. Next, from the four aspects of innovation in natural science, innovation in technology and engineering science, innovation to promote the change of social system and innovation to promote the development of human culture, innovation is the driving force of social progress. And through the wonderful cases of Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Maxwell, Mr. Sun Baixi, etc., a vivid and vivid interpretation was made. …… Finally, Academician He emphasized that innovation must be responsible, patient and curious, and also need to have a generous knowledge accumulation, be diligent, and be good at seizing opportunities. At the same time, combined with his own personal experience, he described in detail, believing that excellent quality is the basis of innovation, taking his own path is the key to innovation, and starting from small things is the basic method of innovation. ”

Hey, brother, you robbed the host's lines, do you know?

Zhang Yuanheng ignored the black lines of the host and the surrounding students, and continued: "Academician He spoke very well, and I agree with it very much. Although I was only a high school student, I was obsessed with astronomy since I was a child, and I used the professional equipment I bought to make observations every night, and I also taught myself a lot of related mathematics and physics knowledge in advance. After years of hard work and perseverance, 9 asteroids have been successfully searched and discovered, and three papers independently written have been published in international professional academic journals, including "EXPERIMENTAL_ASTRONOMY" with an impact factor of 2.3. In January of this year, he joined the Shudi Astronomical Society as a high school student and became the youngest member of the society. These are not my boasts, but they prove that I have a certain degree of scientific research ability, have begun to step into the threshold of scientific research and innovation, and can better understand the content of Academician He's speech. ”

Brother, don't you beep? If you don't boast, there is no such thing as "bragging" in the world!

The host couldn't hold back: "This student, can you please ask the question directly? After all, the question session is only 30 minutes in total, please leave some time for other students." ”

Zhang Yuanheng nodded in understanding: "Thank you for the reminder, I'll start asking formal questions." There are a total of 11 questions, the first of which is the question of the formation mechanism of giant planets, is it nuclear accretion or gravitational instability? We know that the old question of 'how are planets formed' has become one of the central questions of modern planetary science. As early as the 17th century, Descartes first proposed his conjecture about the formation of the sun and the earth. He argues ......"

Wei Shan covered his face and said, "Brother, can I say that I don't know this product in the future?"

Jiang Shuiyuan looked dazed: "Who is he, what is his name, where did he come from? I am sure that the only relationship with him now is that we unfortunately all belong to the same plane of time and space, and that's it." ”
