Chapter 248: A Visit
"Welcome to flight CA931 from Luzhou to Jingbei, I am the ...... this time"
Listening to the amiable voice of the flight attendant on the radio, Wu Bin found his seat and sat down, and fastened his seat belt.
At the beginning of this winter vacation, Wu Bin, who was supposed to take the train home with Li Yan, got on the plane to Jingbei alone, as for the reason, it was because he was going to meet someone, a living legend in the physics world, Yang Zhenning.
Time goes back to two days ago, Wu Bin, who was reading a book, received a call from Professor Song Nanfeng and asked him to go to his office to chat, and the result of this conversation was to get the news that Yang Lao wanted to meet and chat with him.
Today's Wu Bin is no longer a nobody who has just stepped into college to study physics.
His graphene-related paper published in Science Advances has been selected as one of the "100 Most Influential International Academic Papers in China of the Year", and is the most cited paper in the EB of Science (SCI, SSCI, AHCI) searchable paper of HKUST.
Later, another paper was published in Advanced Materials, a top materials journal, setting a record for the first publication in the Department of Physics.
In addition, three papers have been published in the top physics journal Physical Revie Letters.
Even if such an achievement is placed on a doctoral student, it is still glittering, not to mention that he is only a sophomore.
In the end, Wu Bin also learned from Professor Song why Director Jiang took the initiative to mention graduation to him, it turned out that some national youth awards need to be implemented after he graduates from university.
These awards are very practical rewards for Wu Bin personally, right
His future research career will be of great benefit, and of course, the University that trained him will also shine.
The reason why Mr. Yang asked to meet him this time is that in addition to Wu Bin being the most dazzling one among the new generation of college students, Mr. Yang also has a special feeling for HKUST.
First of all, Luzhou is the hometown of Yang Lao, and he was born in Sigu Lane
Luzhou has a deep feeling.
In 1978, under the advocacy of Yang Lao and others, the first junior class was created, and then Yang Lao became an honorary professor of the University of Science and Technology, and in 00 he also made a special trip to the University of Science and Technology to attend the award ceremony of the "Qiushi Graduate Scholarship".
When Zhuang Xiaowei, Wu Bin's super scholar, went to the University of California, Berkeley, she got Yang Zhenning's advice to let her experiment with physics.
Now for Wu Bin, the second outstanding student in the history of HKUST who is about to complete the four major mechanics, it is not surprising that Mr. Yang, who has always been concerned about HKUST, wants to meet him.
The air tickets and accommodation have been arranged, as for whether it was arranged by HKUST or Yang Lao, Professor Song did not say specifically, and Wu Bin did not ask.
Although the time was not very sufficient, Wu Bin still went to get a general understanding of the research topics of this physics expert in the past two days, and quickly flipped through the "Dawn Collection" and "Dawn Collection" written by him
Wu Bin felt very powerful that if he had time to spare, he would definitely study the correspondence between the elements in the list.
The meeting was scheduled at 5 p.m., and the meeting place was not at Mr. Yang's Jinghua University, nor at a high-end restaurant, but at his home.
Wu Bin was still a little flattered when he first learned the news, after all, for this kind of big bull, inviting you to his home as a guest can be said to be quite a high standard, not to mention that this is the first time they have met.
Wu Bin had already learned about the phenomenon of traffic jams in Jingbei, so although it was still early after he got off the plane, he still called a taxi in advance to come to Yang Lao's mansion, but he really didn't want to be late for such an important occasion.
Mr. Yang's home is a small milky white building, surrounded by a spacious lawn, which looks very comfortable.
Turned on his mobile phone and looked at the time, at 14:25, it was still early before the agreed time, Wu Bin casually found a shop to continue his reading, until dusk gradually fell, Wu Bin closed the book and walked towards Yang Lao's house.
"Hoo ......"
Wu Bin, who was standing at the gate, took a deep breath before slowly pressing the doorbell.
Soon, a woman who seemed very intellectual came out and opened the door for Wu Bin, and said to him with a smile: "You are Wu Bin, you look younger than I thought." ”
"Hello, it's the first time I came to visit, and I don't know what you two like, so I bought some tea and brought it."
Wu Bin had naturally seen Weng Fan's photo, so he recognized Yang Lao's wife at once, and immediately took out a box of tea from his backpack that had been prepared before getting on the plane and handed it over.
"That's so polite, don't bring any more gifts later." Weng Fan didn't say too much, while smiling, he took the tea box in Wu Bin's hand, and then turned sideways and said to Wu Bin: "Come in and sit." ”
"Thank you." Wu Bin nodded at her and walked into the room.
Just when Wu Bin was thinking about where to sit, an old man slowly walked down the stairs, and Wu Bin looked up and saw that it was Professor Yang Zhenning.
"Hello, Professor Yang, thank you very much for having me." Wu Bin took two steps forward and nodded towards the old man.
"I'm glad you're here, too." Yang Zhenning smiled and nodded at Wu Bin, then pointed to the sofa in the center of the living room with his cane and said, "Sit down, I have a lot to talk to you about." ”
Wu Bin also liked such a direct theme, so after Yang Lao sat down, he immediately sat opposite him, and Weng Fan helped the two bring drinks and fruits.
"I've read all of your papers, and for an undergraduate, all I can say is that I've never met anyone better than you." After taking a sip of tea, Yang Zhenning praised Wu Bin with approval.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Wu Bin was not too modest and politely accepted the compliment.
After nodding his head with a smile, Yang Zhenning continued: "Actually, I was supposed to go to the University of Science and Technology to talk to you, but I can't help it, I'm old, and it's really uncomfortable to take a plane, so I have to put up a shelf and invite you to me." ”
"It should have been me, a junior, who came to visit you, Professor Yang was serious." Wu Bin hurriedly waved his hand.
"Okay, that's all for the polite remarks, I have to ask you a very important question first, after graduating from the bachelor's degree, which university do you plan to go to for further study? Maybe I can give you some advice. ”
Wu Bin: "In this regard...... I plan to study for a PhD at HKUST. ”
After listening to Wu Bin's answer, Yang Zhenning was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed and said, "Then it seems that we can talk about a lot of topics today." ”
