Chapter 64: Laboratory Ambitions
The idea of handing over research issues with research value and hot topics to others has appeared more than once in Junxin's heart. The problem of kinks is just a tentative implementation.
Looking at most of the world's research institutes and laboratories, although there are always examples of the rise of one person, in the final analysis, it is actually because a group of people have made progress together and finally achieved a famous laboratory. There is quite a dialectical relationship between the times creating heroes and heroes creating the times.
Junxin's dream is to establish a new school of thought that surpasses the famous schools of thought, including the Göttingen School and the Copenhagen School in history, so as to achieve a new school of world research center. And this school will combine the characteristics of the Göttingen School and the Copenhagen School.
Because of its perfect mathematical education system and the unique number of talents, the Göttingen School has always maintained its leading position in the mathematical field under the efforts and drive of Gauss, Klein, Riemann and Hilbert, which are rare all-rounders in the mathematical field. Euler, who was a little earlier than Gauss, no one thinks that Euler also created a worldwide school of thought, building a certain and such in France into a worldwide research center.
When it comes to promoting the development of mathematics, Gauss must be higher than Euler, because Gauss founded and developed the Göttingen School into the largest mathematical school in the world.
If Junxin wants to become a prolific mathematician, with the development trends and papers in his brain that are nearly fifty years ahead of this era, he can easily become a person like Euler, and can easily write 800 pages of mathematical papers a year. However, Junxin did not take the path of pure mathematical research like Euler, but embarked on the road of paying equal attention to research and the construction of academic centers like Gauss.
However, due to various movements, domestic scientific research was in a state of depression in the 80s, and although it took several years to recover, it was far from reaching the international first-class level. If you want to do scientific research in such an environment, it is suitable to be an Eulerian research talent with peace of mind, but if you want to be a Gaussian talent, the difficulty is increased exponentially. First and foremost, there is a serious fault line in high-end talents.
If you want to change this situation of catching up with the world's top level or even surpassing the top level by relying on the strength of one person, the only way is to cultivate a large number of people who can help you and keep up with your own talents, or to dig up a large number of people to conduct research with you.
The former is left aside, but the latter is what Nils Bohl, the founder and head of the Copenhagen School, did. Bohr poached people everywhere and established the Copenhagen School that ran through the entire quantum physics community.
However, at this stage, this method is basically useless, after all, there is nothing in China that can attract top scholars.
In the first method, Wei Donglai was honored to be the first experimental subject of Junxin's subordinates. However, Junxin didn't feel that he was too harsh on Wei Donglai.
In 1982, mathematicians solved a kink table of the 13 intersections of a kink and listed all the kink tables for prime kinks. So there is not much time left for Wei Donglai, only one year.
"Finally, there is a research topic, and you can easily send it out like this?" Gu Mengxue asked a little depressed.
"Haha, Mengxue, you have to know that I can't support the entire research by myself, even if I have more ideas, I can't have the energy to research and verify every idea, so I don't have time to study those things that I think are important."
"Moreover, Donglai's mathematical talent is not low, carefully cultivated, he is fully capable of taking on some heavy responsibilities, and I will give him some advice, this can be regarded as a test for him, a year's time, a year later, I hope to be able to see his research results."
"You don't mind at all?" Gu Mengxue asked strangely.
"Mind what?" Jun Xin smiled arrogantly, "A Moder conjecture is enough for my name to be written in the history of mathematics in any book, after all, the importance of the conclusion of the Moder conjecture is recognized by the mathematical community." I don't have to mind anything. ”
"Actually, I hope he can find the key point of the kink, so that at least it is a Fields Medal-level achievement. With two Fields Medal-level mathematicians in our institute, it was a foregone conclusion that it would become a center for mathematical research in China, and at that point, no one would be paying attention to it just two years after it was rebuilt. ”
"It's like the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, which is the Center for Mathematical Research in the United States, and it is also one of the world's mathematics research centers, and I hope that our Institute of Mathematics in Mizuki will one day become one of the research centers in the field of mathematics."
Jun Xin paused and continued: "The reason why I am so enthusiastic about establishing a chemistry laboratory is actually that I also have such a thought. I hope that in the years to come, I will be able to build a world-class laboratory, just like the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Cavendish Laboratory, and the Bell Laboratory in the United States, and build a world-class comprehensive laboratory. ”
"In my vision, this will be a research center with a focus on mathematics, a center on physics, and a comprehensive laboratory that includes chemistry and biology and their various sub-disciplines."
"Mengxue, do you know, I would like to establish such a worldwide research center, or even with this research center as the center, like Gauss, such as Bohr, like Poincaré, to establish a school that can influence the development of science in the world. But I am too small on my own, and I may have a little talent in mathematics, and I can achieve something, and then I will become famous, and lie on the merit book and wait for death, but I don't want to live such a life. ”
"What I desire is a creative power, Mengxue, you know, I hope that one day, when people mention me, don't they say, oh, isn't this the legendary mathematician who proved Modell's conjecture at a young age? Rather, he is the one who founded the world's most famous world-class laboratory, the founder of a certain school, Professor Junxin? ”
"You will!" Gu Mengxue was suddenly a little moved, looking at the arrogant Jun Xin, listening to his grand blueprint, she was a little stupid for a while.
"Yes, it may only take me a few months to solve a math problem, but if you want to complete such a grand blueprint, it will take me a lifetime to realize it, Mengxue, are you willing to accompany me to this thorny and bumpy road?"
"In this life, in this life, there is you, there is me!"
"Thank you, Mengxue. With you in this life, I am satisfied. ”
"Faith, life and death, talk to Zicheng......"
"Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son."
