"I said, I can only give some layman's advice, you are really..." Looking at the more and more business cards in his hand, Junxin couldn't cry or laugh a little, what is this called.

"You're not a layman!" As he spoke, a figure interjected. Junxin looked up, and it turned out to be Hodgkin and Professor Watney. It was Professor Watney from Harvard, President of the International Union of Crystallography, who spoke, "At least some of your suggestions are more professional than those of us professionals. Let's say you mentioned this afternoon that you want to make a Crystallography Table, which is something we didn't expect. ”

"You've won a prize!" Seeing these two highly respected professors coming together, Junxin hurriedly got up to greet him, and the other professors also got up to greet him. After a while of greetings, everyone sat down again.

"To be honest, the discovery of this quasicrystalline structure was a miracle for me." "But after I read your paper in detail, I have to admit that although it is hard to believe, I have to say that your conclusion is correct, especially since my group has come to the same conclusion as you after repeating your experiments. ”

"It's my pleasure, Professor." Junxin shook his head and said, "The discovery of the quasi-crystal was originally a very accidental thing, and I just happened to discover it. If I hadn't gone to that classroom that day, if it hadn't been for my supervisor, Professor Chen, who had taught that day, I might have found that the quasicrystals would have been nothing to do with me. ”

"But any unexpected discovery is never just a matter of luck, it's also a matter of strength." "If you don't have a certain chemical foundation, you can't read even the diffraction pattern of crystals, can you?" ”

"So, it may be an accident to find it, but your performance in the paper is not just a description of the problem you found by accident, but a detailed description and demonstration of it, which is a necessary quality for a scientist." I don't know when, Professor Aaron Kluge and Professor Max Peruz also arrived, and suddenly Junxin became the center of the whole dinner.

"Professor Peruz, you've won the prize." Junxin stood up and thanked Professor Peruz for the compliment.

"He's not complimenting you, he's telling the truth." Professor Kluge said, "I read your article, it's very detailed and informative. I don't think any scientist working on quasicrystals will be able to get around your paper in the future. In fact, based on the results of my discussion with Professor Peruz just now, we agreed that this is the most valuable paper in chemistry in nearly a hundred years. ”

"I think Watson and Crick's paper on the double helix structure of DNA is more classic, but unfortunately they won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine." Junxin shook his head and said.

"These are two fields, in fact, the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA is just the discovery of a structure of some kind of polymer substance for the chemical community, just like those sugars, proteins, and so on. However, for biologists, this was the biggest discovery, and in the decades that followed, didn't the development of organisms follow this result? Kluge explained.

"That's right, but that's not what we're going to talk about today. By the way, there's something that Ms. Hodgkin told me privately, and I'd like to ask for your opinion. ”

"What's the matter?" Junxin asked curiously.

"After the meeting, we changed the theme of this year's conference to quasicrystalloid research, so as is always the case at the conference, we will give a keynote presentation at the end of the conference," said Professor Watney. In the original plan, I invited Ms. Hodgkin to be the keynote speaker for this conference, but after listening to your presentation, Ms. Hodgkin decided to recommend you as the keynote speaker for this conference. Although it has not yet been decided whether or not you will make the report, I still hope that you can prepare the materials for the theme report, so that you will not have time to prepare when you are really selected. ”

"Keynote report?" Junxin was really shocked this time, all of the people who have always been able to give a keynote report at an international scientific conference are all successful scientists, and they are highly respected people with high status and achievements in the entire industry, which is especially serious in the field of chemistry and biology. But now Professor Watney actually asked him to be the keynote speaker of this conference, which completely shocked Junxin.

Ms. Hodgkin smiled slightly, "Actually, there is no need to be so surprised, I have had this idea since the theme of the conference changed. ”

"You know, my research direction is mainly the application of rays to the analysis of the structure of matter, not a professional researcher of quasicrystalline matter, although there are some predictive experiments in your paper I have achieved some results, but relatively speaking, you are more suitable than me for this keynote speech."

"I had an exchange of views with Watney last night on this issue, and at noon with Peruz and Kluger, and we both thought it was a good idea, and it wasn't a whim, but a matter of consideration."

"Yes, Ms. Hodgkin is right." Aaron Kluge said, "I also listened to your report, to be honest, two or three hundred top scientists attended the report meeting, the questions at the meeting are a very big challenge even for us, originally I had reservations, but your afternoon report will give me a great shock, to be honest, your age and your knowledge are not proportional at all, so I also agree with the opinions of Watney and Professor Hodgkin." In fact, I think this report will be difficult for you. ”

"In that case, then I won't shirk!" Respected by these giants in the scientific community, Junxin was also hot in his heart and proudly agreed.

"In that case, I won't bother you with the other professors, and in a little later, I will send you some notes on the theme report, and I look forward to your performance in ten days." Professor Watney nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, patted Junxin on the shoulder, and walked to another place. As the president of the International Union of Crystallography, he still has a lot to do.

"I have a keynote speech tomorrow, I have to go back and prepare first, if you have time tomorrow afternoon, you can come and listen to it!" When Professor Watney was gone, Ms. Hodgkin also stood up and took her leave. After all, she is already old, and her energy is not as good as before, so she chose to leave in advance, and invited Junxin to her report meeting by the way before leaving.

Kluger, Peruz and the others who stayed behind began to continue the discussion with Junxin and the rest of the professors.
