"Grandpa Shen, what project are you talking about?"

Surprised, Zhang Jing couldn't help but ask out loud. He was 100,000 interested in the ongoing project of his peers in front of him, what kind of project could attract Shen Chongfeng's attention and let Wei Chengyu, a veteran associate professor, perform the gift of a student?

Hearing this question, several people all restrained their feelings, Shen Chongfeng glanced at Zhang Jing, and found that his face was full of curiosity, and he had no other ideas, so he smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, it's just some mathematical speculation, and the specific situation is still being studied!" ”

He didn't tell the truth, and he didn't need to tell the truth.

Sure enough, hearing Shen Chongfeng say this, Zhang Jing's expression froze, and the curiosity in his heart completely disappeared. He knew that he might have overstepped the question.

Scholars, scientists are studying something, unless it is a scientific group that is likely to know the general situation. For ordinary researchers, many people are not clear about the direction and field of their research, and they only need to complete the tasks assigned by themselves, and unnecessary questions are not allowed to be asked at all.

This is just an ordinary large project, and if it is a more important project, even the core members will not know the specific content. For example, when the United States or China were researching the atomic bomb technology that all countries in the world were researching, no less than 50,000 scientists were dispatched to study it.

But only one person in charge knows what they are doing and what a great scientific research project they are doing. Other than that, everyone doesn't know the inside story, and even many people don't know the existence of other scientists other than themselves.

As for the entire atomic bomb program, they will be even less clear. Later, unless it was the upper echelons who took the initiative to tell them the inside story, many people didn't even know that they had participated in these plans.

This is the secrecy of scientific research, which is more rigorous than anyone can imagine.

Naturally, the study of mathematics is not as exaggerated as the atomic bomb project, but for researchers, they are not willing to disclose the specific research direction.

What do scientists or mathematicians study? In fact, it is these directions, in many fields of research, it is not that it cannot be studied, it is just a kind of neglect, or a blind spot, what they need to do is to put forward conjectures, and then verify them, to find a deeper mystery of nature.

With today's science and technology, once the direction of research is known, there is no need for the guidance of the discoverer, and soon other scientists will be able to replicate this kind of research.

This happens naturally in the scientific community, and a scientist has finally found the direction of his research and has made some progress, and he only needs to publish the results of this research before he can obtain honor and status.

While working on his dissertation, he accidentally leaked the direction of his research and a small number of his studies to be known to another scientist. Another scientist knew these numbers, quickly verified and successfully replicated the scientific reality, and finally completed the paper one step ahead of the discoverer and published his own paper.

In this case, the scientist who published the paper first naturally received the honor, and the original scientist, although he was the discoverer, could only receive the second honor because of his own carelessness, or even no honor.

After all, there is value in science and technology for duplicate research, and the academic community does not attach importance to duplicate research. The first person received all the honors, and the second person could not even drink a mouthful of soup.

There has been such a precedent, and scientists have naturally been silent about their research. It has basically become a common practice in the scientific community to eat the past, not to reveal the research direction, not to take the initiative to ask, and to explore the research direction of other people. Unless the other party takes the initiative to introduce, it is easy to offend people if you take the initiative to inquire.

Zhang Jing naturally knew about this situation, but he was too curious, so he took the initiative to ask. After hearing Shen Chongfeng's words, he reacted, and hurriedly said apologetically: "Old Shen, Professor Wei, classmate Wang Ning, I was abrupt!" ”

Knowing that mistakes can be corrected is a good character in itself, coupled with the relationship between Shen Chongfeng and Zhang Jing's family, he naturally won't be angry because of this trivial matter, nodded with a smile and said: "You kid is not bad, and you don't have to find the root cause, otherwise I will have to let you go back and calm down!" ”

Although he said it with a smile, this sentence made Zhang Jing stunned now. He originally thought that he looked down on the young man in front of him, but judging from Shen Chongfeng's attitude, he still underestimated this young man who was about the same age as himself, and also underestimated the scientific research project that he didn't know.

With their family's relationship with Shen Chongfeng, unless that project has important research significance, they won't expel him because of his inquiry. This situation can only show one thing, the project in front of the teenager is at least a large-scale scientific research project.

"yes, I know what to do!" He knows what the confidentiality rules of large-scale scientific research projects are, not to mention him, even if it is his parents' permission, they are not allowed to ask more questions here. Although he was still curious in his heart, he could only forcibly suppress these curiosity and said cautiously.

Shen Chongfeng nodded with satisfaction, after all, he was his friend's grandson, and the environment he had been exposed to since he was a child was completely different from ordinary people. It's just a pity, the little guy seems to be a little too persistent. Thinking about his granddaughter's attitude before entering college, he couldn't help but sigh. The little ones have indeed grown up, too.

Shaking his head, throwing these feelings out of his mind, his eyes slid over Wang Ning's body, Shen Chongfeng smiled and said to Zhang Jing: "For Xiaojing, you are indeed a little condescending to come to the University of Technology. With your current foundation in mathematics, Peking University, Tsinghua University, and University of Science and Technology of China are the places you should go, and the mathematics departments there will be of great help to your growth. Don't make hasty decisions because of the agreement between children, it's irresponsible for your future! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jing's expression couldn't help but dim: "Grandpa Shen, you don't have to persuade me, this is my agreement with Xiaoxue, although she went to Tsinghua alone, I will stick to my promise!" ”

Shen Chongfeng shook his head with a wry smile, of course he knew that the reason why his granddaughter made this agreement was not because she had settled on Zhang Jing's character, she knew that even if she violated the agreement between the two, Zhang Jing would still come to this school. So as to get rid of Zhang Jing as a suitor.

Thinking of his granddaughter, he couldn't help but shake his head while loving him: "You, you're just too stubborn!" I don't know if this character is good or bad! After saying that, he didn't continue to persuade him, his own granddaughter knew that the things decided would not change at all, and since she had clearly rejected Zhang Jing, the possibility of the two being together was almost zero.
