Nietzsche once said that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Levi couldn't help but fight a cold war, the young man in front of him was like a bottomless pool, on one side was the vitality and sunshine of youth, and on the other side was like a warrior's ruthlessness and firmness.

In the face of the temptation offered by the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the plateau was unmoved, calm and calm, and this self-confidence that came out of his bones made Levy feel very uneasy.

However, after a moment of silence, Levi suddenly laughed, and laughed very happily.

"Young people should be happy and high-spirited." Levy shrugged his shoulders and said: "I know that in the Huaxia region, most people have a feeling of family and country, this is your tradition for thousands of years, and every time there is a dangerous moment, there are always some people who will stand up and turn the tide." ”

"Mr. Gao Yuan should be an idealist, familiar with history, and from the long history of China, he has continued to learn and grow, and has established a unique set of values."

The conversation suddenly changed, and Levy stared into Gao Yuan's eyes and said, "It's good to have ideals, but you can't forget the reality either. ”

"I agree." Gao Yuan smiled, "The weakness of the Chinese people in reality is that they are too naïve and too kind, and they like happy endings even when they watch a TV series, and rarely speculate about the world with the greatest malice." ”

"This habit is very bad, we have to change, we have to learn to give up illusions, learn to face the dripping blood, and meet the malice of the whole world."

Levy was speechless, he opened his briefcase and handed him a thin piece of printer paper.

"Look at this." Levy said: "What Mr. Gao just said is your ideal, and the piece of paper in front of you is the real reality. ”

"This is Thomson Reuters' latest list of the world's top 100 materials scientists Hall of Fame, which is determined by the citation rate of research papers published in the past decade, which can be said to be quite authoritative."

"A total of fifteen Chinese scientists were selected for the list, but what is even more incredible is that in the past ten years, the top six of the top 100 materials scientists are all Chinese!"

It stands to reason that it should be an honor for the Chinese to have so many material science elites, but for some reason, Gao Yuan's expression was as cold as frost.

After a pause, Levy continued: "Please take a closer look at Mr. Gao, who do these world-famous materials scientists work for?" ”

So far, Rao is plateau has a calmness far beyond his peers, and his face has gradually become cloudy.

The best materials scientist of the last decade.

First place, Yang Peidong, plays for the University of California, Berkeley.

Second place, Yin Yadong, plays for the University of California, Riverside.

The third place, Huang Huyi, plays for Tsinghua University in Wanwan Province.

Fourth, Xia Younan, plays for Georgia Tech.

The fifth place, Sun Yugang, works for the Nanophysics Research Center of Argonne National Laboratory.

Sixth, Wu Yiying, plays for Ohio State University.

After a long silence, the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, as if with a wry smile.

As a person who seeks truth from facts, Gao Yuan knows that this is the current reality, but this reality is too tragic.

The six material scientists were all Chinese, but all but one was in North America, working for the Anglo-Saxons.

Then look down, Duan Jinfeng, ranked 20th, is at UCLA, Ren Zhifeng, ranked 49th, is at the University of Houston, Zhenan Bao, ranked 62nd, is at Stanford University, and Jiang Yeming, ranked 66th, is at MIT...

A total of 15 materials scientists are on the list, of which only Wan Meixiang, who ranks 43rd, and Meng Xiangmin, who ranks 99th, are currently working in the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Of the fifteen people, only two remained in the country, what a tragic reality.

Swish~

Gao Yuan put this printer paper on the table, but after thinking about it, he pulled out another pushpin and nailed it directly to the most conspicuous place on the wall! It seems to use this piece of paper to remind yourself and motivate yourself.

Seeing Gao Yuan's move, Levy was surprised and a little admired, and he began to truly understand that the young man in front of him was not so simple.

"Thanks for the reminder." Gao Yuan said: "Originally, I didn't have a particularly firm confidence in the future, but now, I have understood what I want to do. ”

Levy smiled slightly, "So, you finally understand the gap between reality and ideals?" I'll admit that Mr. Takahara may be an outlier who has no study abroad experience and doesn't plan to play for the United States, but in this world, not everyone thinks that way. ”

"In the current situation, even if Mr. Takahara can control the part, it will not have much impact on the overall battle situation, after all, the world needs a large number of geniuses to build, and you are just one of them, one person, it is impossible to change the world."

In that case, why not go with the flow? No matter how good the X fiber is, it must be rated by our North American research system, and no matter how good you are, Mr. Takahara, the paper you write will still be published in our academic journals. ”

"There is an idiom called the mantis arm as a car, I don't want you to be the mantis that blocks the progress of the American chariot, in that way, you will be crushed."

Gao Yuan sighed softly, and it must be admitted that the gap between China and the United States is still very large, and it is difficult to catch up overnight.

But after a few seconds, the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth raised an arc again, and said to Levi: "You are right, just catching up with you in industry and science and technology is far from enough, when can the world form a consensus, that learning Chinese is an honor, working in China is an honor, only then can we be considered a real revival." ”

"It's a long and hard road, but I'm willing to give it a try."

"Mr. Levy, thank you for your list, I have something for you here."

With that, Plateau opened the drawer, took out a thick stack of papers, and handed it to Levi.

Levi was suspicious, but after he saw the title clearly, he immediately showed an excited look and quickly turned the page, but when he turned about dozens of pages, his face changed again, and his brows were tightly locked.

Levi swallowed and foamed, "This is your paper on X-fibers?" ”

Gao Yuan bowed slightly, "That's right." ”

Levi was puzzled and asked, "Why the Chinese version?" ”

Gao Yuan showed a caring look for the mentally handicapped, "Because my mother tongue is Chinese." ”

Levi looked around, "Where's the English version?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head slightly, "There is no English version. ”

Levy seemed to be greatly shocked, "How can it be published in such a top journal as Science, Nature, without an English edition?" ”

Gao Yuan said indifferently: "I don't plan to publish it in science, nor do I plan to publish it in other journals. ”

Levi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears, "Are you crazy!?" Science is the most authoritative academic journal on the planet! It has an irreplaceable role in the world's academic research community! It is an honor for all researchers to be able to publish their research results in science! ”

Gao Yuan spread his arms and expressed disapproval.

Then he took back the paper in Levy's hand and said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about this, Mr., I don't belong to any academic circle, and I don't bother to deal with them." ”

"This paper and other follow-ups will be placed on my own website, and everyone is welcome to read and discuss, but if you can't understand it, that's not my problem."

In a daze, Levi walked out of the plateau office with a bewildered expression.

He never thought that today would be such a result, Gao Yuan is so strange, what is he going to do?

As soon as he walked out the door, he was blown by the cold wind outside, and Levi immediately shivered, remembering a very important question.

"Mr. Takahara, what is the name of the website you just mentioned?"

Gao Yuan looked up and smiled at Levi," Kunlun asked. ”
