Chapter 10: The Wrong Way (2)

Then Professor Yu explained the origin of this person or this kind of person:

Most of them have no higher education, and some even dropped out of junior high school before graduating. However, for various reasons, they have developed a strong interest in scientific research, but they will neither make efforts to learn the achievements of their predecessors and serious scientific theories, nor will they have any communication with the scientific community, but will only blindly work behind closed doors.

But the results of their research are basically fantasy. Today the Goldbach conjecture was proved, tomorrow quantum physics was overthrown, and the day after tomorrow a perpetual motion machine was developed...... In short, how outrageous it is, but unfortunately, none of the results are reliable. And these people, once they feel that they have achieved earth-shattering achievements, will find ways to contact academic authorities like Professor Yu in the hope of gaining their recognition or even recommendation.

After all, university professors are a relatively noble group, where is it so easy to meet? They managed to send their calculations, but the Kochi basically knew what it was at a glance and naturally threw it into the garbage. Then the more extreme people among them will be like this person today, asking about the whereabouts of the other party as much as possible, as if they have become stalkers, just to be able to explain their theories face to face.

For the first time, Professor Yu, who has a good temper, will patiently point out all kinds of absurdities in the other party's paper, and suggest that the other party start learning from the basic knowledge of physics and scientific thinking methods. But the other side often does not accept this set, insisting that their whimsical is a great discovery in the history of science. Professor Yu found that no matter what he said, he played the piano to the cow, so he naturally ignored it, but the other party was entangled endlessly because of this, so that today's farce happened.

Hearing this, I can understand why this person is in a hurry to popularize his own flawed theories with a person with a high school level, and after a long time of trouble, it is a lack of recognition, and it seems that the support and understanding of one more person is also a priceless treasure for him.

Although this civil science is extremely absurd, I was deeply impressed by his warm eyes, he must have a devout belief in his "doctrine", but it is a pity that he took a wrong path from the beginning.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic at the dinner table turned back to this civil science at some point, Professor Yu pulled my father's sleeve and said with a big tongue: "Old Chen, sometimes, I still envy that civil science." ”

Dad smiled: "What is there to envy?" This kind of person doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back. ”

Professor Yu's face flushed, and he shook his head again and again: "Let's talk from the bottom of my heart today, you said that as soon as I was engaged in physics, I would take a few graduate students every day to make some uncreative leftovers, send some papers, cheat research funds, and eat with food." What is the universe? I'm not curious for a long time. ”

"If those you are engaged in are leftovers, we ordinary people can find a crack in the ground and get into it as soon as possible?"

"That'...... That's different," Professor Yu said, "When I was in school, I just wanted to figure out what the universe was. Lao Chen...... I...... I'll tell you one more thing. You know Professor Duan from N City. ”

"I've seen it once," replied my father.

"The last time I met him, he told me that he had a student who was a little girl, and I thought about it, huh...... It's not much bigger than Chen Liao. Since the beginning of the freshman year, I have been the first in my major every year, I won the national award in my freshman year, I won the first prize in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition in my sophomore year, I have already published a paper in the core journal in my junior year, and I have directly guaranteed research in my senior year. ”

"It's amazing." I chimed in.

"Hey, but don't you say it's weird, this little girl gave up the opportunity to buy a graduate school in her senior year and ran to find a job, you said that a student in the mathematics department ran to find a job without going to graduate school, isn't it strange?"

"It's kind of weird." Mom said, looking at me as she spoke, apparently suggesting that there was more to the strange person than that.

"That's it, do you know what she did later - helping gamers with math analysis! Don't you say it's overkill, Lao Duan can't pull it, and the girl still said that this is not called 'playing games', what is it called 'e-sports', it is a sport recognized by the National Sports Administration. ”

Of course, my parents know what e-sports is under my influence, and I can't help but feel embarrassed when I hear this.

Professor Yu raised his glass and said to me, "Chen Liao, let's have one." ”

I hurriedly held the cup in both hands and stood up: "Uncle Yu, I respect you" and drank it all.

After Professor Yu finished drinking with me, he didn't put down the empty cup but said to me: "Chen Liao, you are also a young man, I want to ask you about this, what do you young people think?" ”

"This ......" I really don't know how to answer, at this time, if I also want to give up the opportunity to go to college to engage in e-sports, I don't know if Professor Yu will collapse. I had to reply: "I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions, and now that the times are developing rapidly, why not do it." ”

Professor Yu put down his glass and stopped talking, obviously not satisfied with my explanation. Then he patted his father on the shoulder and said, "Maybe we people have experienced too much and thought too much, and we are far less pure than young people." ”

Mom and Dad didn't say much at this time, but I was still deeply touched by this, especially the word "pure", she also described me this way when I met my sister that day, and advised me that there was no need to spend so much blood in a game that was about to cool down.

After that, my family said goodbye to Professor Yu, and I left the hotel and came to the door, but I saw that it was raining in the sky at some point, accompanied by thunder from time to time. The folk scientist was still under the eaves at the entrance of the hotel, the eaves were too narrow to fully protect himself from the rain, and he stretched out an arm to hold up his scruffy jacket to keep out the wind and rain, for in his arms was a calculus that he himself treasured.

I can't help but wonder if I, like this citizen scientist, is on the wrong path and never going back? Thinking of the double-digit income in the live broadcast room account, as well as the rejection of youth training several times, maybe in the end, no one was moved except himself......

I didn't have an umbrella with me, but when I got home, I turned into a soup chicken because of the heavy rain. I took a simple shower, changed into clean clothes, and started the game and stream again.

As soon as I went on the live broadcast, I saw someone in the barrage asking: "What about the beautiful female anchor last time?" Male sailor get out of the way. "Since the last time the hot pot restaurant turned on the camera, I also licked this old face and came out to meet people during the live broadcast at home.
