The dining table in front of Jingzhi has already been "clean" by Su Yi, except for a snow-white tablecloth, there is nothing else, the tableware that should be standing guard here has been forced to evacuate, and the candle used to add to the romantic atmosphere has also been taken away. At this moment, the table looked deserted.

In the face of such an "empty desktop", Jingzhi was very satisfied. After Jason left, she happily took out a notebook and a pile of white paper from her bag, and then took out two pens from the side of her backpack, one red and one black, and placed them next to the notebook. She opened her notebook and stared at a page for a long time before picking up the black pen and writing something on a blank piece of paper.

Jason's movements were not slow, and after only a while, he returned the same way, with an extra tray in his hand, and a glass full of hot chocolate stood on it, and saw that Jingzhi was "writing hard", and then sighed: "In such an environment, you can actually concentrate on fiddling with the Lagrange function alone, it's incredible!" ”

Hearing Jason's heartfelt exclamation, Jingzhi slowly raised her head and found that Jason was staring intently at the few equations she had written on the blank paper, which were composed of many Greek letters and English letters, connected by many mathematical symbols.

How does he know I'm solving a Lagrangian function? Jingzhi asked herself in her heart, she lowered her head and looked at the pile of letters and operation symbols on the white paper, at first glance, those were just a few mathematical equations with unknown numbers, if there was anything special, it was only that each equation was long enough to occupy several lines of the white paper.

Seeing that Jingzhi was just sitting stunned and didn't reply for a long time, Jason unconsciously picked up her notebook and continued to sigh while looking through it carefully: "There are so many constraints, so many unknowns, and they are all nonlinear, it seems that your mathematical ability is very strong." ”

"Oh?" Jingzhi asked tentatively with doubts in her tone, "According to what you say, you should be able to derive the solution of this system of equations, right?" ”

"I don't have that ability," Jason said sincerely, not as if he were saying something humble, "a system of nonlinear equations with so many unknowns that cannot be solved by human ability alone, and that has to be solved by a computer, or 'computer.'" With that, he grimaced with a grin and spread out his notebook on the dining table.

Jason's few short words made Jingzhi feel that he not only did not look like a simple bystander, chattering a few casual words that were not painful, but more like an experienced "old professor", stating his scientific research experience.

Jingzhi took a deep breath and said, "You know so much! That's right, I just recently found an answer through my computer. ”

Hearing Jingzhi's words, Jason nodded slightly and asked, "Now that you've found the answer, why do you have to spend time and energy on this?" ”

"I was worried that my previous calculations might be wrong, so I wanted to check it a few more times."

"Check? How many times? Jason's tone suddenly rose a lot, and it was obvious that Jingzhi's words shocked him.

Jingzhi first glanced down at her watch, then raised her head, looked at Jason, smiled, and said, "According to my usual speed, it will take more than an hour to check it. It's just past half past eight o'clock in the evening, and if all goes well, I'll be able to check it twice before I leave here tonight. ”

"Twice?" Jason's tone was still very high, and it seemed that what Jingzhi said stirred up a thousand waves in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a while. Probably wanting to know something else, he immediately asked, "Where did such a complex system of equations come from?" ”

"These are some of the results of my research," Jingzhi said, tapping the notebook on the table a few times with her right hand, "They are all listed according to the theories I am exploring, and they are derivatives of theories." ”

As soon as Jingzhi's words fell, Jason immediately grabbed the notebook from the table very rudely, blinked his eyes a few times, and whispered to himself while examining it carefully: "The theory you are studying...... Theory...... That's ......" Suddenly, Jason, who had always been fluent, seemed to have something in his throat and was speechless.

"What's wrong with me?" Jingzhi said to herself in her heart, "I actually talked to a waiter in a restaurant about a Lagrangian function seriously, and the original romantic atmosphere was ruined by me......"

Seeing Jason's confused look, Jingzhi had an idea, and hurriedly quipped: "The theory I studied is not mysterious, it's just some strange symbols leaning together to show the deep friendship between them." ”

"Haha......" Jason tilted his head and smiled, "that's funny, it's the first time I've heard anyone say that." These letters or something, they are so close together, there must be some special logic behind them, not just because they are emotional. ”

"Haha......" Jingzhi also laughed, "You're right, the logic behind it is indeed complicated, but," said Jingzhi smiled and glanced at Jason, and found that his eyes were shining at this time, but she didn't know what the source of that light was. "I shouldn't have said anything wrong. No matter how complex the equation is, it is just a bunch of letters, plus various mathematical operation symbols arranged together. ”

Jason shrugged his shoulders and showed a look of surrender, "That's right, that's right, you're right, very right. He looked at the "empty" table and quipped, "No wonder you just asked Sister Su Yi to take the candles away, but if one or two sparks fly out and touch these flammable materials that you pile up here, our little Chinese restaurant will 'set it on fire'." ”

Jingzhi smiled and waved her hand, and said, "Don't worry, there is no 'spark' here, there will be no 'prairie fire', and there will be no hidden dangers." ”

Jason put down his notebook, looked around, bent down slightly, slightly close to Jingzhi's head, and whispered to her, "The atmosphere of tasting food in the restaurant is so good, why don't you enjoy it and relax?" Do you have to fiddle with this bunch of equations in such a place at this time? ”

Jingzhi shook her head lightly and defended herself, "No, these letters and symbols you see, they ......" as she said, Jingzhi casually pointed to a few Greek letters, "They are my friends, I like to have them company." ”

Jingzhi's words made Jason feel incredible. Tonight, Jingzhi said a lot of things that surprised Jason, and what she just said was particularly effective.

Jingzhi found that Jason straightened up, his expression was a little strange, but she couldn't see what was on his mind.

After a few seconds, Jason shook his head abruptly and sighed: "After living for so many years, I have seen a lot of all kinds of workaholics, and this is the first time I have seen a workaholic like you."

"Oh?" Now it was Jingzhi's turn to be curious, she hugged her arms behind her chest and asked, "Is there anything special about me like this?" ”

Jason smiled weirdly and concluded: "You are like this, you are in the wishful house, your heart is in the office, you are tasting food, thinking about formulas, you really work everywhere, work all the time!" ”

"Haha!" Jason's words made Jingzhi laugh involuntarily, and she waved her hand, "How can it be so exaggerated," she pointed to the glass on the table, and retorted very stiffly, "Don't worry, I will definitely combine work and rest." Wait a minute, I'm going to take a good look at this cup of chocolate you invited me, and it won't make your hard work go to waste. ”

Speaking of this, Jason suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Where do you plan to publish these scientific researches?" ”

"Publish?" Jingzhi didn't understand what Jason's brain was made of, and how she could suddenly ask such a question. She shook her head and replied, "No, there are no plans to publish it for the time being." ”

"Why?" Jason's tone was very strong, with a very strong sense of oppression, and it sounded as if he was forcing Jingzhi to answer, and he had to know the answer.

"I ......," Jingzhi said in a slurred voice, on the one hand, she was frightened by what Jason had just said, and on the other hand, she lacked courage herself, "I don't think that what I have studied has reached the level where I can be published, so I ......"

After listening to Jingzhi's explanation, Jason was very dissatisfied, he shook his head helplessly and said: "You have worked so hard and have been paying silently, don't you want these letters, that is, your friends, to be printed in a certain academic journal and display the results of your hard work in the right place?" ”

"......" Jingzhi was choked by Jason's words, let alone vibrating her vocal cords to speak.

Seeing Jingzhi's slightly timid look, Jason bent down again, leaned his head over, and said to her earnestly: "What is the difference between a soldier who huddles in the camp tent and shiveres, and does not dare to go to the battlefield, and a deserter?" Isn't your dream to become a scientist and shine in the academic world? Why, don't you have confidence in your scientific research results, and you don't even want to publish them? ”

Hearing Jason's words, Jingzhi instinctively shook her head. It's not that she doesn't have confidence in the results of her hard work, on the contrary, she is confident in them deep down.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jingzhi said calmly, "No, I'm confident. ”

"Then you still ......" Jason was a little excited, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"I don't think I have enough courage to ...... at the moment," Jingzhi was about to finish her sentence, when Jason interrupted her and said to her in a reassuring tone, "It's okay, it's hard at the beginning." As for courage, take your time, there will always be. ”
