Chapter 365: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Chapter 365
Empty and lonely?
The corners of Cheng Nuo's mouth twitched violently.
On the side, classmate He Youjun added faintly, "I don't have a girlfriend now, just the two of us live, don't worry about someone disturbing our two-person world." ”
Cheng Nuo's chrysanthemum tightened even tighter.
Looking at He Youjun's passionate gaze, Cheng Nuo's vest was cold.
If it weren't for the fear of falling and injuring himself, Cheng Nuo really had the idea of jumping out of the car and escaping.
The final result was that Cheng Nuo did not talk to He Youjun and promised to spend a period of time with him.
After a thirty-minute drive, the two came to He Youjun's residence in the United States.
It was in an upscale apartment building less than a five-minute walk from MIT.
With an area of more than 100 square meters, three bedrooms and one living room, He Youjun, a rich second generation who is not bad for money, has bought it all.
"Oh, you're going to stay in this room!"
He Youjun opened the door of the second bedroom, smiled "ambiguously", and pushed Cheng Nuo in.
Cheng Nuo looked at the bedroom environment.
Because He Youjun is an authentic Chinese person, the layout style of the whole room is not much different from Huaguo.
"You clean up first, then make up for sleep, adjust the jet lag, and my brother will take you out for a big meal in the evening!"
He Youjun smiled faintly and closed the door.
Cheng Nuo packed his luggage and lay on the bed, he fell asleep after a few minutes.
Suddenly, the door to the room was suddenly opened.
He Youjun's handsome head poked in, looked at Cheng Nuo, who was lying on the bed and fell asleep peacefully, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
............
On August 3, 2022, more than two months before the Fields Medal ceremony, Cheng Nuo crossed the ocean and came to the United States to start his new life abroad.
The next day, August 4, Cheng Nuo, who had not adjusted to the jet lag, went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology accompanied by He Youjun with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
This is Cheng Nuo's first time setting foot in this top foreign university.
The 168-acre campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is located on the Cambridge side of the Charles River, and the road is lined with rows of street trees.
In addition to the teaching buildings, the interior of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is mostly Boston-style, noble and elegant.
Even though it's summer vacation, you can still see students hurrying along the campus road with books in their hands.
"How's it going, the academic atmosphere is not bad, right?" He Youjun asked, turning his head.
Cheng Nuo nodded, "It's okay." In fact, the academic atmosphere of most high schools in China is higher than that of top universities abroad, but when you get to university, ......"
Cheng Nuo shrugged and didn't continue.
The meeting with Professor Fresnel was in the afternoon, and the reason why Cheng Nuo came in the morning was to experience the school atmosphere of MIT.
With He Youjun as a guide, Cheng Nuo can quickly understand this school.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology was founded in 1861, and after more than 100 years of development, the teaching system has gradually improved.
Unlike most universities in China that have twenty or thirty colleges, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has only six colleges in total.
The Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Alfred Brown Brown. P. Sloan School of Management, School of Science, Vitek School of Health Science and Technology.
For example, He Youjun, who is currently studying at Alfred A. P. Sloan School of Management. As for Cheng Nuo, what he wants to study in the future is naturally a doctor of science degree from the School of Science.
He Youjun first took Cheng Nuo to visit several famous buildings in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, such as the Great Dome, the Buck Library, and the Killian Courtyard.
After that, two of the world's top laboratories were observed from afar.
Lincoln Lab and MIT Media Lab. The former is focused on missile defense, including anti-ballistic missiles and anti-cruise missiles, while the latter is an interdisciplinary laboratory dedicated to the convergence of technology, media, science, art and design.
Many of the biggest names in science have worked in these two labs.
Walking around, Cheng Nuo and He Youjun came to the area where the School of Science is located.
The Faculty of Science includes Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and Earth Sciences.
Of the six faculties, the Faculty of Science is more theoretical. At the same time, all majors are ranked high all over the world.
At MIT, there is a set of interconnected building areas that provide access to the various areas. Through this combined area, you will enter the area of the Faculty of Science.
The first thing that caught Cheng Nuo's eye was a large platform of one or two hundred square meters.
After He Youjun's introduction, Cheng Nuo knew that this was the Stratton Student Outdoor Activity Center of the Faculty of Science.
The platform is more than three meters high and is surrounded by staircases made of marble. On the stone steps, you can see blonde foreigners sitting together.
Or between lovers. Or one person holding a guitar and singing to be coquettish, and a few people get together to discuss advanced academic issues.
"Go over and sit down!" He Youjun suggested.
Cheng Nuo didn't care, "Okay." ”
The two of them found a stone staircase to sit down, and this position had a good view of the large domed tower in the distance.
On the side, there are four foreign friends.
Three men and one woman, three white and one black, were discussing something in a low voice.
"I heard that you want to be Professor Fresnel's assistant?" He Youjun glanced at Cheng Nuo's handsome side face and slowly spoke.
Cheng Nuo nodded, "Well, the school arranged it for me, and I should meet him in the afternoon." ”
He Youjun frowned, "I've been in this school for seven years, and although I haven't met this Fresnel professor, I heard from my tutor and several other professors that this Fresnel professor's temper is not very good!"
Arrogant, self-serving, irritable and irritable.
If you count them carefully, Professor Fresnel's shortcomings are enough to write a paper.
However, they are Fields winners, and they are the big guys who solve the seven world's mathematical problems. In terms of academic achievements, his shortcomings can be ignored by the public in the academic community.
Cheng Nuo shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly, "I also know this, but after all, he is a big man, and I, a little Mengxin, just beg not to tremble." ”
Cheng Nuo knows that his life as an assistant may not be too easy!
"That'...... Good luck!" He Youjun held back for a long time and held back such a sentence.
Just when He Youjun was about to continue to say something, he suddenly heard the discussion next door suddenly rise a little.
Listening to that tone, it seemed to be arguing.
"Impossible, with this method of proof, it is impossible to prove Ramanujan's inequality!!" a blue-eyed blonde white boy stood up excitedly and said in an excited tone.
"How could it be!" said the black student of the four, with full confidence, "I've already consulted Teacher Lis, and she said that this proof method is no problem!"
The two quarreled fiercely!
