Chapter Seventy-Eight: Studying for a Double Degree?

After that day, Ding Mu seems to have grown a lot, although his personality has not changed, he still loves to joke with girls, but he is a little more diligent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info has to go to a corner of the library alone every night and study for at least three hours on his own, not only to complete his homework, but also to make full use of the various resources of the school, consult all kinds of materials, find ways to translate those garbled manuscripts, and delve into the world-leading technology obtained from the alien notebook until the library closes.

In contrast, several people in the dormitory participate in more social activities. Jin Ming has been mixing in the student union, and Ji Cheng often goes out to be a tutor. And Ning Hua often spends time with his girlfriend Yang Yuechan on the road at school, or go to the study room to do homework. As for the others, they can sometimes be seen in class, but Ding Mu can't take care of his life after class.

Among the girls, the one who is often contacted is Xue Lingyun. Since the last time I told Wang Lao the story of the scroll, I remembered that Wang Wei still could play the pipa before he could see Princess Taiping. Ding Mu is still determined to learn the guqin well, so when there is no class on Thursday afternoon, he will ask her to go to the piano room to practice, and after practicing, the two often have dinner together, and then say goodbye lightly. After that, Ding Mu continued to insist on going to the library for self-study in the evening until the library retreated.

When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, the four of them were there, and Jin Ming said, "I was in the library today to catch up with my homework and saw you." ”

Ding Mu said: "I go every day." ”

Ji Cheng interjected: "Your family is so good, and you still work so hard every day, what are you trying to do?"

"Well, I've always felt that doing research is quite interesting, so I found a topic to figure out by myself. "Ding Mu is basically telling the truth.

"I'm Sai, you're really good, I was worried about that chemistry homework just now, you have found a topic and started to do it!" Ning Hua also sighed.

Ding Mu also said with a bitter face: "Do you think I don't worry? The homework questions left by Teacher Zhu are simply perverted and difficult, and it took me an hour to make them. ”

Jin Ming said: "I don't know at all, you tell me how to do it another day, I don't think I will need that chemical knowledge in my life." ”

Ji Cheng said: "I studied pharmacy, I guess this chemistry foundation will be indispensable in the future, there are two questions that I haven't done today, and I will ponder it tomorrow." ”

"To be honest, I really envy those who study liberal arts, who are so idle every day. Those of us who study medicine are almost the same as continuing to study in high school. Jin Ming smacked his lips.

"There are also difficulties in studying liberal arts, such as comparative literature, linguistics, and translation. Those who learn a foreign language have to learn a small language, and they have to suffer from memorizing words. "Ning Hua's girlfriend is from the English department and knows a little more.

"Yes, in fact, translation is also a difficult science. Ding Mudao, who has been working as a translator a lot lately, said, "I want to learn the skills of translation when I have the chance. ”

"That's right, you will be studying for a doctorate in the future, and you will have to publish articles in English. It's not easy. Ji Cheng said, "I'll be five years old, and after graduation, I'll go home to become a pharmacist." ”

"Sleep! Keep up the good work tomorrow!" Ding Mu ended the night's conversation with a sonorous and powerful word.

The next day, Ding Mu got up very early to exercise, just after breakfast, a phone call came, Ding Mu picked it up and listened, it was Academician Wang Changping.

The old man couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Ding Mu, get up, our team has been studying your masterpiece for the past few days, you will come to Physics Building 202 at half past eight in the morning, and the teachers of our teaching and research group are waiting for you." ”

"Okay Elder Wang, I'll go over right away!"

After eating the buns, Ding Mu drank a bowl of tofu brain, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and walked steadily to the physics building, and there was some drumming in his heart. Immediately, a younger professor opened the door and invited Ding Mu in kindly, and there were still six or seven teachers discussing Ding Mu's article.

As soon as Ding Mu came in, Academician Wang Changping immediately showed a heartfelt smile at Ding Mu, and everyone was quiet before he spoke solemnly: "Ding Mu, we agree that your article is of great value and can be published in the world's top journal Nature. But we just can't figure out how you came up with this complex model architecture. ”

This question is really hard to explain, and it can't be said that it comes from alien technology. Ding Mu knew that his theoretical model must be correct and successful, but for the realization of controlled nuclear fusion, it was just equivalent to looking at the compass and calibrating the direction before walking the long march.

Ding Mu thought for a while, and said in a tricky way: "The inspiration for my model comes from a dream I had before. A few days ago, I read some books on the frontiers of physics research before going to bed, and I always felt that the principle of inertial confinement and laser target shooting that we proposed fifty years ago was valid, but there was no good way to deal with the problem of energy absorption at that time, and now the new materials can achieve fast charging and rapid absorption of heat energy. One night in a dream, I dreamed of a vague model that realized the two problems of confinement and energy absorption through the microscopic crystal model structure of a new material. After that, I followed this inspiration, looked at some information on nanoscale materials, and tried a few times by mistake, and made this model. By the way, in fact, in my latest research, I also deduced that these models can have several variants, which can better absorb energy, but the stability of the structure is poorer, and it is more difficult to estimate the preparation. ”

Several professors were dumbfounded. Legend has it that the structure of the benzene ring was conceived by the German chemist Kekule in a dream of a snake biting his tail. In fact, this is not the case, as early as 4 years before Kekule, Losimit was the first to discover the structure of the benzene ring, but this person is very introverted, and finally published a book, or he copied it privately. So historians remember the more braggadocio Kekule.

The key is that the current situation is completely different, this model of Ding Mu is not a simple hexagonal structure like the benzene ring, such a complex crystal structure, can also be dreamed? !

Academician Wang Changping heard the word preparation and said excitedly: "You have already studied the level of preparing this crystal?"

Ding Mu paused and said, "Yes, this aspect is very complicated, and I lack some knowledge of materials science. However, I generally feel that the difficulty of this research is similar to that of the so-called 'nano supercell'. I believe that the specific preparation method will be tested within a few years, and the problem in the future is that the process cannot reach the accuracy we need. ”

Academician Liu Guotai, who majored in materials science, specially invited by Wang Changping in the physics teaching and research department, said: "What Ding Mu said is very good and reasonable. The biggest contribution of Ding Mu's paper is to prove this: with micro graphene supercapacitors and nanowire-based technology, as long as you create a combination of crystal models you design, you can achieve the rate of absorbing nuclear fusion energy, and then use it stably as electricity to achieve controlled nuclear fusion. ”

Ding Mu nodded and said: "And I think that building this kind of model is nothing more than a matter of microscopic process accuracy, and there must be a way to achieve it." ”

Liu Guotai and Wang Changping glanced at each other and nodded in unison, theoretically true, at least Ding Mu's paper has created a very valuable research direction.

I don't know who led the way, everyone in the teaching and research department applauded Ding Mu and congratulated him on his wonderful research results.

Seeing a group of plainly dressed, thick glasses, gray or even white old professors applauding themselves, Ding Mu's tears hung down, although this article also made his own efforts, but after all, it came from alien technology, and he deservedly said: "Thank you, thank you!"

"Xiao Yang," Wang Changping called a relatively young teacher over and said, "You are the best at submitting articles to the journal Nature, Xiao Ding's magazine, you teach him what kind of things the editorial department of the magazine likes, and you will polish and polish them when you turn around." Remember, the first author and the corresponding author must be Ding Mu!"

Professor Yang repeatedly agreed: "Teacher, don't worry. I'll leave that to me. Nature is already a bit commercial, and they would be eager to publish something like this to 'solve the energy crisis'. ”

Professor Yang took a piece of paper in his hand, and while writing, he said to Ding Mu that when you publish an article in the journal Nature, you must mention the prospects and constructive opinions you bring to this discipline and even this society at the beginning, at the end, and in each paragraph. It's especially easy to write about a major issue like yours, and I'll help you make an outline. You list a few core proof processes and condense them.

In terms of the experience of publishing articles, Ding Mu is afraid of horses and cannot catch up with the elite of Peking University professors who have mixed academic circles all their lives. I can only listen to my ears and ask for advice with an open mind.

After Professor Yang's guidance was finished, Academician Wang Changping said: "Ding Mu, do you want to transfer to our Department of Physics to study for a doctorate, I think you are very talented, and you are so young, if you continue to study in this field, you will definitely be able to achieve controlled nuclear fusion in your lifetime and become a great scientist who will be famous for eternity." ”

Ding Mu was quite moved, and he was about to agree at that time, but he suddenly remembered his original intention of studying medicine, in fact, it was not what his grandfather said, "If you are not a good look, you will be a good doctor", but you want to explore the deepest mysteries of the human body through studying medicine and further unlock the real beautification system. However, the real-life beautification system is already there, and it is also very possible to use the technology left by aliens to become a famous scientist through the ages, and I can't help but be in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder Wang, is it possible for me to study for a double doctorate." ”

Wang Changping thought for a while and asked Professor Yang, "Xiao Yang, is there any precedent for our undergraduates to apply for double doctorates?"

Professor Yang said: "Undergraduate students can apply for a double degree, but it is a bachelor's degree, and as for a doctorate, theoretically, you need to get a bachelor's degree before you can apply for it. However, in the current education reform, theoretically, it is possible to get a doctorate directly in 5 years, but there must be sufficient research results. ”

Wang Changping said pertinently: "Then, the school's regulations must be reasonable. In my opinion, all kinds of degrees are illusory, I suggest you think about it, increase the systematic study of physics as soon as possible, lay a good foundation, and strive to do better research and produce better research results, are you optimistic?"

"Okay!" Ding Mu nodded, thinking that what Wang Changping said was very reasonable. I really need more and more solid knowledge in order to better absorb alien technology and solve specific problems.
