Among the promoters of China's modernization process, overseas students are the most important group of people. Among those studying abroad, there is no doubt that international students in the United States have the greatest influence.

And if you look closely, among these international students, the most influential ones are almost all in the top few of the American university rankings. Among them, the most influential universities are Harvard, UC, Stanford, Princeton, Yale and Columbia University, which have long been in the top 20 of the world university rankings.

But if Junxin is allowed to rank several universities according to his own heart, then Princeton will naturally be ranked first, and the others will be Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California, Harvard University, Stanford University, Yale University, Columbia University, and other universities will basically not arouse his interest if there is nothing particularly attractive to Junxin. For example, when I had an in-depth exchange with Wiles, the opponent of the Princeton Tigers, one of the more powerful universities in the NCAA league - Syracuse University.

Speaking of which, Syracuse University is also a very good university, and there are countless celebrities who have produced it, and there are more than 800 members of the Senate and House of Representatives in the United States from this school, but because there are too few Chinese scientists in the industry in this school, Junxin did not care about the result of this game in Thailand, although Princeton narrowly won in the end.

However, the next game will be the one that Junxin cares more about, not because of how strong the opponent is, but because the school where this opponent is located makes Junxin a little concerned, that is, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which often joins forces with Princeton and Harvard to fight for the position of the boss of American universities.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, referred to as MIT, often competes with Harvard, which lives with it, for the top spot in the American university rankings, and the effect is actually quite good. But it's no wonder that MIT's strength is not much worse than Harvard, but the foundation is a little worse, after all, Harvard University is seriously the first university in North America, which kills all other universities.

However, the problem of heritage is not the problem of how much MIT is inferior to Harvard, the biggest key is that Harvard University and MIT are located in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the same time, which is completely the rhythm of the legendary two tigers on a mountain, so that MIT has nothing to do to show off its muscles with Harvard University, and finally really bluffed Harvard University.

Of course, the Liangzi of Harvard University and MIT also formed a long time ago, when during the Great Depression of the world economy, MIT was once rumored that it would be merged by Harvard University, and in the end, it was the teachers and students of the whole school who rose up to oppose it and finally kept MIT and was not annexed by Harvard University. However, it was also at that time that the two schools began to compete with each other, a bit of a rush from the two universities of Peking University and Mizuki in China.

Of course, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was not originally called by this name, but in the so-called "I Qing Dynasty" era, Lei Ren translated the original "Massachusetts Institute of Technology" into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and finally people became accustomed to calling the university like this, but its original name was gradually forgotten in China. I guess it means that the translator thought that a state in the United States was a province in China.

There is a reason why Junxin is interested in MIT, first of all, his own alma mater, in fact, after the reorganization of faculties, Mizuki University is mainly a university that teaches and trains students based on engineering in science and engineering. Therefore, the strongest discipline of Mizuki University is not mathematics, physics, or chemistry, but many engineering disciplines in the Faculty of Engineering. Mr. Gu Yuxiu, the founder of the School of Engineering of Mizuki University, is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees all of which are certificates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so when he founded the School of Engineering of Mizuki University, he actually learned a lot of experience in the discipline setting and college management of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. However, he still knows a lot about the School of Engineering, so it is natural that he will pay more attention to MIT.

Another reason is that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley, these three schools occupy almost all of the top three in the world's electronic computer and engineering rankings, in other words, even if the University of Pennsylvania is the founder of electronic computers, but the world's electronic computer research centers are still in Massachusetts, Stanford and California Berkeley. And this point, for the current Junxin, is a fatal attraction.

However, it is a pity that although MIT is also one of the participating universities in the NCAA, it does not have an outstanding team record, nor does it have any outstanding competitive talents, and for Princeton, it is completely weak, so when Junxin proposed that he would also participate in this game, the players on the team were actually very surprised.

When playing the NCAA strong team Syracuse University, Junxin did not participate, but asked to participate when playing the NCAA weak team MIT, which made them a little confused about the situation for a while. They don't think that Junxin is afraid of Syracuse University and dare not go to the scene to participate in the battle, but they know that Junxin's level is above their current coach Pique, and this game is won in the hands of Coach Pique, and there is no reason why Junxin will lose in the hands of Junxin.

But MIT is indeed an underdog team in the NCAA, and their team strength level is relatively close to that of Harvard University, so naturally it is not the opponent of the Princeton University basketball team, which is now in full swing. Although this time it was Princeton University playing away, the players privately thought that there should be no problem in winning this game, and it didn't matter if Junxin participated or not.

Junxin didn't explain to them that his trip to Massachusetts to participate in basketball was a trivial matter, and visiting MIT and Harvard University was the key. In fact, what Junxin didn't tell them was that one of the most important reasons why he finally agreed to join the team was that he could get the opportunity to go to various universities for free, so as to establish communication and cooperation channels with various universities, which would become his own accumulation of background in the academic world.
