Chapter 115: The Dinner Party
"Mr. Junxin, could you please tell us about the discovery of quasicrystals?"
"Mr. Junxin, could you please tell us about your thoughts on this report meeting?"
"Mr. Junxin, what do you think the theme of this conference has to do with you?"
"Mr. Junxin, do you have any thoughts on your research?"
"Mr. Junxin, may I ask ......?"
……
As soon as Junxin came out of the classroom door of the lecture hall, the group of reporters who were guarding the door and didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere frantically rushed to Junxin like chickens.
Out of respect for the scientists, none of the reporters dared to disturb or interrupt their presentations when they were making reports, so the reporters waited for a long time after receiving the news. Now that the report meeting is finally over, it's time for them to play.
Junxin was a little confused, as I had said before, Junxin actually knew that he might be more famous, but because of the protection of Professor Cheng and Professor Hu, he avoided the recurrence of the incident that hurt Zhongyong, so he strictly restricted the interviews of those reporters, making Junxin mistakenly think that even if he solved the world's big problems, the final result would be just like that, and it was just average in the public's popularity. However, after arriving abroad, no one stood in front of Junxin, so it suddenly became a little hot.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Junxin has just experienced four hours of high-intensity speech, and now he is very tired, please forgive me." At this time, the staff of the conference quickly appeared and protected Junxin, and finally made Junxin sober up.
"Mr. Junxin, please say a few words!"
"Mr. Junxin, we have been waiting for so long, please answer a few words!"
"Mr. Junxin,......"
"Oh, well, I'll just say a few words!" Jun Xin scratched his head and said with a tired face, "Regarding the questions you raised, many of them are summarized as my views on my research, and here I just want to say that the discovery of quasicrystals has broadened people's horizons and knows that there is another undiscovered material structure in the world, and it may become a substance closely related to people's lives in the future." Thank you..."
After finishing speaking, Junxin ignored the retention of these reporters, but directly followed the group of staff to squeeze out of the crowd and walked towards the banquet hall prepared by the organizing committee.
According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, the morning of the day is the meeting time of the academic committees of each branch, the afternoon is the corresponding report time of each scientist, and the evening is the exchange activities between scientists. In other words, there are about 10 days of exchange time, which is enough to meet the needs of most scholars to have academic exchanges with each other.
Finally leaving aside the group of reporters, Junxin came to a large banquet hall, which was originally an activity room of the chemistry department, but it was changed to become the current dinner venue.
After thanking the staff, Junxin walked around the dinner venue casually. The dinner was in buffet mode, and the large event room that could accommodate four or five hundred people was filled with tables, chairs and food.
There were already dozens of people in the hall, and some of the professors who participated in the other lectures ended their reports early and came to this hall first, and the professors were gathering in groups of three or five, whispering about what was going on. And with the arrival of Junxin, the professors who listened to Junxin's report also began to walk in twos and threes. When the last professor walked in, the dinner began.
"Hello, Mr. waiter, give me a glass of orange juice, thank you!" Junxin has never liked to drink, whether in his past life or in this life, so he chose a glass of orange juice.
The gathering of scientists is the same as ordinary people, and they sit together in groups of three or five to discuss a hot topic. The difference is that scientists discuss academic topics and current research hot issues, while ordinary people discuss parents.
After taking a short break, Junxin found that there were the most people in front of Max Peruz and Aaron Kluger, as well as Hodgkin. Kluger's work has been widely recognized, and it is agreed that he will be able to win the Nobel Prize in just a few years.
Max Peruz and Hodgkin have already won the Nobel Prize, so the three are the three pillars of today's crystallography. However, after Junxin rested for a while and came to the hall to recuperate, he found that he was also one of the focal points.
"Hello, Mr. Kikinobu!" A man with his hair on the top came to Junxin and said with a smile, "I am also a professor of chemistry at Princeton University, my name is Wenge, this is my business card, can I have an exchange with you?" As he spoke, he took out the business card in his arms and handed it to Junxin.
"Hello, Professor, please!" Junxin naturally had no reason to refuse, and was very happy to accept Professor Wenge's business card while inviting. In the scientific community, as long as a scientist is willing to send you a business card, it means that he is willing to have a deep friendship with you, which can be regarded as a kind of network.
"It's a pity I don't have a business card for you, you know, I'm still a student, and I've only done some trivial things by chance."
"Hehe, it's nothing, anyway, you are studying at Princeton University, and I am a researcher in the Department of Natural Sciences of the Institute for Advanced Study, so there are still many opportunities to meet. When the time comes, you can make up one yourself. Professor Unger didn't dwell too much on such trivial matters, and just said a few words. Then the topic turned to a formal discussion, "In your paper on quasicrystals, you wrote about ...... in crystals, and this property is also applicable to quasicrystals, what is the reason?" ”
Junxin thought carefully for a while, and then began to answer. This kind of problem is naturally not very difficult for him, but now most scientists have just begun to contact quasicrystals, and they are still studying it as a new thing, and have not yet done more in-depth horizontal research on the connection.
"Thank you, this question has been bothering me for a long time." Professor Weng Ge suddenly realized after listening to Junxin's answer, and then continued to ask. In the Q&A between the two, some sharp-eyed professors had already seen the two of them, and after a while, a large number of people had gathered on Junxin's side.
“… Therefore, I think that the average distribution or distribution law of valence electrons is also an important way to study the formation principle and structural principle of quasicrystals, but this research has not yet begun, if you are interested, you can do in-depth research! ”
"Thank you, but the study of valence electrons involves a lot of physics and quantum mechanics problems, and I am afraid that I will not be able to solve it alone." Professor Unger said with a wry smile.
"We can work together!" Another professor who didn't know when he appeared next to Junxin suddenly interjected, "Forgive my rudeness, my name is Joseph Claude, and I am a professor in the chemistry department of Harvard University. There is some research on the theory of chemical valence bonds, and some foundation in quantum mechanics, and I think Mr. Junxin's proposal is very good and worth studying. ”
"Well, that's possible, let's get ready when we go back and we'll start a new project!" Professor Unger was overjoyed and quickly decided on a topic for the collaborative research.
The other professors on the side looked at them with envy and envy, and then, Junxin's hands were quickly stuffed with business cards by this group of professors.
