University life is like heaven for Wang Yinan, there are very few compulsory lectures every day, and no one tells you all day long that you can't do this or that. The main thing is that there are countless books to read.

There is a public library at the University of N, an old library dedicated to all kinds of photocopies, and the physics department also has its own library, and there are many pirated editions of all kinds in the professional field, oh no, photocopied periodicals and magazines.

When Wang Yinan is fine, he often spends a whole day in the old library. My favorite thing to do is to dig out a bound copy of the 1905 Annals of Physics.

"A Tentative View on the Generation and Transformation of Light" The Quantum Hypothesis of Light is proposed

"The Motion of Suspended Particles in Hydrostatic Liquids as Required by the Theory of Molecular Motion of Heat" is a fundamental treatise on Brownian motion

"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies", special theory of relativity

Is the inertia of an object related to the energy it contains? >> This does not explain E=MC squared

Every time he sees these, Wang Yinan always has a feeling of thinking about Gongjin back then, talking and laughing, and the canopy is gone. My great Einstein is really extravagant, any article taken out, it is a Nobel Prize-level achievement, not to mention the quantum of light and the theory of relativity, which are too few for five Nobel Prizes.

It's really a magnificent era, and Wang Yinan always regrets why he wasn't born in that era.

As an energetic guy with no longevity, Wang Yinan's university, in addition to being an idiot in terms of picking up girls, can be regarded as colorful.

When he was a freshman, Wang Yinan fell in love with literature, and he wrote some poems and lyrics when he had nothing to do, "Last night, the little pine tree, a few degrees with the wind (don't think about it, it's not a yellow word)."

"I remember that you were still a member of the N University Literature Club at that time, what was it called the N Yuan Word Society," Li Wenjing said.

"The prose and poetry you wrote at that time were quite good, and I remember the little poem you published in "Sprout" in the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, which was very good."

It seems to be called Mid-Autumn Festival written in the distance

"In the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, I left my hometown for the first time and wrote my thoughts in the distance"

"Last year, I didn't write anything, I just drank some wine and dreamed"

"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, even I don't dare to dream, I'm afraid that after the dream is gone, the days will be so long."

"Do you actually remember" Wang Yinan was a little surprised.

"Of course, you forgot what I studied, memory is the foundation, by the way, you can tell me now if it's written to your first love,"

“。。。 How can there be any first love", Wang Yinan continued to pretend to be stupid.

"In my sophomore year, I was particularly interested in philosophy, what existentialist philosophy, what symbolism, structuralism, what linguistic philosophy,"

Anyway, I've read all the books I can read.,"Being and Nothingness" is similar to this kind of landmark work.,That's a must-see original.,

Well, I don't understand the world of Xueba, Zhang Qi felt that he was a big B high-achieving student, shivering in the cold wind.

"Don't say it, those things have helped me a lot, especially the linguisticization of philosophy, including some detailed discussions of behavioral semantics and referential semantics, in fact, many theoretical foundations of modern programming languages can be traced back to predicate logic."

"So every drink and peck, it's all determined by God, and if you can get the Gödel system out, it's thanks to the fact that you didn't do business that year."

"Yes, I almost didn't go crazy and became Nietzsche" (after Sartre, it was Nietzsche, so there is always a thin line between genius and madman), Li Wenjing added.

At that time, we probably knew each other, but we didn't know each other yet.

Until the junior year, we have to subdivide the majors, and everyone can choose their own professional direction and instructor to a limited extent.

Most of them chose the direction of condensed matter physics, Professor Wen and Professor Zhang, they are all members of the department, and they are now called academicians. There are a bunch of people under him who have signed up, and they are looking for acquaintances, and they are happy to grab them anyway.

Wang Yinan's secondary two illness was committed again, and he chose the only associate professor in the tutor list, Li Shiyao, that is, Li Wenjing's father. Later, Wang Yinan learned that his supervisor, before returning to N University, studied for a doctorate degree in Lang Zhiwan's laboratory, which was specially invited back by the former president of N University when he visited France.

But because the temper is too bad, spray colleagues, that's a set, the key is that you can poke the sore spot every time, do you think, can the relationship with colleagues be good, plus the principal who appreciated him before, because of personal problems were pushed to the end, there is no background and can't handle the relationship between colleagues, so I'm still an associate professor.

When Li Shiyao was at the University of Paris, France, he has been engaged in the research of low-temperature superconductivity, and his paper on the Cooper pair is considered to have created a new direction, but after returning to China, due to the lack of new results for many years, he was slowly forgotten by the mainstream physics community.

"But what I didn't expect was that Cheng Qian also reported to your father's instructor, and at that time, you... Wang Yinan said.

"The next thing, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, I'll tell you", Li Wenjing, a little gloomy, can't say whether it's anger or sadness, it's more sadness than disappointment.

"When I was a sophomore, Cheng Qian began to chase me, he was on the basketball team in the department, and the family was said to be a deputy mayor, tall, handsome, and the top student in the college entrance examination, he was simply a representative of the perfect boy, and the girls in our dormitory were very envious at that time, I couldn't say whether I liked it or not, I just didn't think it was annoying, it was good."

"Later, for a period of time, karaoke was popular, playing and singing by himself, Cheng Qian went to learn guitar, and then stayed downstairs in our dormitory and sang me the songs he wrote"

"It turns out that the love saint who played the guitar downstairs for a week was circulated in the school before, and it was him, but he never said it in the dormitory", Wang Yinan was very surprised.

"Of course I can't tell you, he's afraid of having a competitor", Li Wenjing said hatefully, "But at that time, I didn't know anything, and there were boys who could do this for me, and I was also very moved, so I was with him." ”

"Thinking about it later, he must have known something about my father, and I was... , Li Wenjing choked up a little.

"Drink some water, let's talk about it", Wang Yinan refilled a glass of water for Li Wenjing.

"We studied the basics with Mr. Li for a year, Mr. Li often gave us small lessons, and many of the things he talked about were not thought of before, some ideas and methods, especially mathematical methods, I think they are much stronger than those members of the N University."

"When he was a senior, he took us to start some research on superconductivity. He has been studying Cooper's theory, the traditional Cooper theory, can only explain the superconductivity phenomenon of traditional superconductors in the liquid helium temperature region, the Günzburg-Landau theory is a phenomenological theory, in the eyes of physicists, can the phenomenological theory be called a theory, completely based on the phenomenon to summarize the law, that is called Meng. “

"Prof. Li's research has actually made great progress, and his extended Cooper theory has actually shown some signs that there may be superconductors in the liquid nitrogen temperature region. However, because of the large amount of calculations and some flaws in the theory itself, we have not been able to obtain clear results in the experiments we have done."

Wang Yinan said, "Of course, not necessarily, maybe our experiment has made a breakthrough, when I checked the experimental records later, I found some missing, missing parts, Cheng Qian is in charge, I suspect that he got some results, and hidden." ”

Later, it was the International Conference on Condensed Matter Physics, and now that I think about it, Cheng Qian was particularly active in this conference held at N University, and took the initiative to take charge of the reception and translation work by using his relationship with the student union. He spent his days hanging out with Professor Thomas at Princeton and Professor Joseph at Imperial College London, like a.

Li Wenjing said, "Cheng Qian should have gotten some promise, before the end of the meeting, he hurriedly found me, saying that we are not suitable, he is going abroad, he can't stay in China and stay with me, long pain is better than short pain."

"I didn't hold back at the time, so I gave him a slap", "If it wasn't for a man holding me, I would have abolished this kid at that time",

"I want to know that he stole Mr. Li's achievements, and I would have abolished him a long time ago", Wang Yinan was also very remorseful.

The next day, he went to the United States, and his diploma and degree certificate were secretly found to come back later. Later, I heard that he had become a graduate student of Professor Thomas.

It wasn't until half a year later that Thomas and he co-authored a series of papers on Cooper pairs in Science, and also reported that the existence of superconductors was discovered for the first time in the liquid nitrogen temperature region. It dawned on us that he had already started his own plan from the beginning of his pursuit of tranquility.

When we read his papers, they were all plagiarized from Mr. Li's work, and even many of the wording were the same, which should have been secretly copied when we went to Wen Jing's house before.

Mr. Li was very angry and called the editorial department of Science, as well as his former classmates in Lang Zhiwan's lab, and they all said that they could not help, because there was no evidence that Thomas and Cheng Qian had plagiarized Mr. Li's work, and Mr. Li's manuscript had never been published except for a few of our students.

After Wen Jing's father withstood this blow, he became ill and soon died.

Cheng Qian, the bastard, not only published papers, but also applied for a series of patents, so we are now commercializing superconductivity, in addition to funding, we also have to face patent risks.

Wang Yinan said to Zhang Qi,

"You've figured it out, do you want to invest in us?"
