Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Champion (6000 Collectors)
"Then I met Hermann Weyl at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, one of the few living experts in the world who was proficient in both number theory and quantum physics, and he welcomed me to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and wanted me to be a bird. He was disappointed, I have always been the stubborn frog Weyl left Princeton, Yang Zhenning came to Princeton from Chicago and succeeded him as the other leading bird, and the Yang-Mills gauge field theory provides a model framework for all known particles and their interactions, and Wyles is also a frog", Dyson gushes about many mathematicians and physicists who wrote the most important books in the history of science and technology in the twentieth century.
"Alright, you can give a speech on this topic!, but don't you think it's time to eat now?", Witten patted his stomach, Dyson had been talking for so long that he was a little hungry.
"Good idea!I'll think about it!", Dyson nodded and ended his speech, stood up and led everyone to the direction of the dining table, and when he was about to reach the chair, he turned around and patted Lu Qiujian on the shoulder, "There are a lot of frogs in the scientific community now, but there are very few birds, I want you to be a bird and find new swamps for these frogs, instead of just being like a frog and only seeing the scenery around you! You are still very young, it is completely possible!"
Witten and Thurston also heard Dyson's praise of Lu Qiujian, and they also cast encouraging glances at him, and Professor Nan also whispered in Chinese in his ear, "Except for a few people such as Yang Zhenning, most Chinese scientists can only be frogs in Dyson's mouth, and I also hope that you can become a bird." ”
But to complete their own plans, it is indeed not enough to be a frog! This is not only their expectation, but also their own goal, Lu Qiujian replied with a smile, "Thank you for your encouragement, I think I will try to work hard! I hope to get your help in the future!"
"Of course, we have received the help of countless seniors in our academic career, and naturally we will also provide help to the talented juniors like you, so that you can avoid some detours!", Dyson seemed to misunderstand what he meant, "You will return to China in a few months, and if you want to return here or go to other parts of the country after graduating from the bachelor's degree, I think a few of us still have some face, but I think there is no more suitable place for you than here1"
"I think if he sends in the application, Shirley will definitely approve it at the first time!, I don't need your help at all!", Witten joked, but no university with a math department would refuse someone to solve Poincaré's conjecture, right?
"Thank you, Mr. Dyson, if I have a definite plan for my future before graduation, I will send you an email!", although it is unlikely that he will continue to come to the United States, but Dyson's influence is not only in the United States, if there is his recommendation letter and his own achievements, it can be said that any famous school in the world can go!
Dyson nodded and responded to the matter, and then beckoned the waiter to start serving, and everyone waved knives and forks to divide the tender steak, while talking about some interesting things that happened in the mathematical world, and even Lu Qiujian also gained a lot of knowledge.
Dyson and the others were old after all, and they went back to rest after eating, Lu Qiujian and Professor Nan walked back slowly, it could be seen that Professor Nan was very interested today, and kept encouraging Lu Qiujian along the way, and finally said with emotion, "I have been away from home for so long, and I also want to go back! Now there are more and more talented young people in Huaguo, if I go back to teach, I will not be lonely, right?"
"Oh, are you going to return to China?", Lu Qiujian is very supportive of his decision, his future plan will definitely be completed in China, so the stronger the domestic scientists, the happier he is, Professor Nan can be a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton, which proves that he is already one of the top people in the global mathematics community, and he will definitely be able to give him more help if he goes back, "Why don't you go to our Beijing Normal University! Presumably Professor Zhang will also welcome you, why don't I give him a call?"
"Hehe, I don't need you to worry about it, I'm not without roots in China!", Professor Nan said proudly, his classmates have now become the backbone of major famous universities, and he wants to go back and use Lu Qiujian's help? Even if he doesn't contact those students, with his status as a professor in the Princeton Department of Mathematics, which school doesn't welcome him? Perhaps feeling that what he just said was a bit hard, Professor Nan explained, "I also have contact with Professor Zhang, if you go to talk about it, I'm afraid he will think I'm out of sight, right?"
"Hehe, then I'll be waiting for you at Beijing Normal University!", Lu Qiujian scratched his head embarrassedly.
After a week's rest, the game resumed, and neither Cornell nor Colombia could cause any problems for Princeton, but Penn was also chasing after him, with a record of 12 wins and 1 loss, and if they could beat Princeton by a big score in the final game, there was still a slight chance of qualifying.
However, after more than ten games of running-in at Princeton, the cooperation between the players is becoming more and more tacit, and what is even more rare is that they are becoming more and more confident in victory, and it is not easy for Penn to beat them.
"Think about how we were shut out of the tournament last year? Wasn't it the last game we were beaten by Penn, and are you going to repeat this tragedy this year?" Coach Thompson yelled in the locker room to get them motivated.
"No! we'll pay them back twice as much as last year's humiliation!", Patrice replied loudly.
After the start of the game, these players did not disappoint Coach Thompson, who had the upper hand from the beginning with their courageous fighting spirit, and their offense was like mercury under the tandem of Lu Qiujian, and if he defended Lu Qiujian one-on-one, he could easily be broken through, and if he was flanked, he would always find a gap to deliver wonderful assists.
By the 32-minute mark, even the most optimistic Penn players didn't think they had any hope of winning, and the opposing coaches began to surrender by replacing their main players.
As the final whistle blew, the players on the Princeton bench immediately rushed into the arena in a frenzy, and they became the champions of the Ivy League again after many years!
Six thousand plus more, seeking to rush to the list!!! the next basketball chapter will be abbreviated.
