Chapter XXXII

"Prepare for the experiment!" As soon as Junxin came to the laboratory, he saw Gu Mengxue standing next to him waiting for his arrival.

"Hmm!" Gu Mengxue nodded, but did not move. Junxin almost never let her interfere in the experiment, and all the preparations were done by him alone. She is not a novice who doesn't know anything, and naturally knows that among all the experiments, in general, except for biological virus experiments, only chemical experiments are the most dangerous. Therefore, she will not be like at the beginning, touching here and there.

"Sample No. 36 is re-sampled, the electron microscope is ready, and the formula ratio is recorded!" Junxin methodically began to instruct Gu Mengxue to record, and then completed one operation after another.

The cooperation with Junxin has reached a very mature point, and Gu Mengxue has written these things that have been recorded countless times in the experiment book almost as soon as Junxin's words fell. After Junxin finished preparing all the work, he just glanced at it slightly, returned these to Gu Mengxue, and started his experiment.

With the right direction and the right approach, the experiment went very smoothly. Junxin repeated the experiment a few more times, and then after recording the observed results in detail, he stopped the experiment with satisfaction.

"Mengxue, I may be busier next!" After the experiment was completely over, as soon as he left the laboratory, Junxin said to Gu Mengxue, "I have two papers to complete next, and the time may be tight." ”

"Well, I understand!" After so many days of laboratory experience, Gu Mengxue has a general understanding of the scientific research work of the laboratory, and has a preparation for the busy work of Junxin in the future.

"I'll be in the old part of the library, where I've already said hello to the caretaker!" Junxin continued, in fact, this was the first thing he did in the name of Professor Hu. "If I don't have time to eat, it's up to you!"

Gu Mengxue suddenly felt a little funny: "You're not afraid that others will say that you eat soft rice?" When it comes to eating soft rice, Junxin is indeed a little speechless, which can be regarded as a stalk for his own death.

Before the experiment began, Junxin couldn't take care of the time to eat because of his frequent search for information, so most of it was brought to him by Gu Mengxue. Occasionally, though, she'll have other things to do, so ask her roommate or classmate to help with it. Later, Junxin said with a smile one day that he had always relied on Gu Mengxue's rice to live, as if he was a person who ate soft rice.

Now, as soon as she encountered this kind of thing, Gu Mengxue laughed at the sentence "eat soft rice" to tease Junxin.

"It's busy!" Jun Xin smiled and did not answer, "One is a paper for Professor Faltins, a proof of the conjecture I myself proposed; The other article is about the results of the experiment just now. ”

"yes, I see!" Gu Mengxue just casually made a joke about Junxin, and she didn't really want to laugh at him.

In the days that followed, busyness was the only word Junxin could think of to describe his life, not that there were too few words to describe his life, but that words such as hell and the devil could not accurately describe his busyness. It's better to describe it as the most versatile busyness in the end.

Every morning, I get up before five o'clock, and after ten minutes of washing, I go out of the dormitory. At half past five, I went through the back door of the library (with the help of Professor Hu) to my own special place and began to think and write. About half past six to seven o'clock, Gu Mengxue would bring breakfast, and then Junxin stopped for a few minutes, talked a few words of love with Gu Mengxue, and then began to check the information again.

At half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and about half past five in the afternoon, after dinner was settled in the same way, I continued to write papers and consult materials. It wasn't until after two o'clock in the morning that there was one last person left in the library.

The results of Junxin's hard work were amazing, and the first draft of his first paper was completed in less than ten days. This paper is a conjecture about the connection between the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture and Fermat's theorem. In his previous life, he was a conjecture proposed by the German mathematician Frey in 1985, also known as the "ε-conjecture", but he did not fully prove his inference at that time. In 1986, the American mathematician Libert proved Frey's proposition, so the hope of proving Fermat's theorem focused on the "Taniyama-Shimura conjecture".

Junxin quickly completed the proof of the "Junxin Conjecture" named after him in this world. Because there are results that can be used as a reference, Junxin quickly completed the first draft of the paper.

The real trouble is the thesis writing of quasicrystals. Shechtman, the discoverer of the quasicrystal, discovered the quasicrystal in 1982, but it caused an uproar at Johns Hopkins University at the time, and for a time, Shechtman was considered a heretic and was kicked out of his group.

It wasn't until 1984 that Shechtman published his famous paper "A long-range ordered but non-periodic metallic phase" in another team, which caused a worldwide sensation.

But the problem in front of Junxin is that he himself is a student of mathematics, but what he makes is the result of chemistry. It is true that the mathematical study of quasicrystals has always been a big topic in later generations. So, do you want to write this paper as a math paper or a chemistry paper?

Fourier inspired Junxin a lot, but when he was about to kick the door, Junxin was a little hesitant. After thinking about it, he finally merged the two under the inspiration of Gu Mengxue, and then wrote an article entitled "On the Mathematical Structure of a New Substance with a Long Range of Order, but No Periodicity".

The dissertation is divided into five parts, and of course it can be said that there are four parts. The first part is a summary description of quasicrystals in the manner of a formal chemistry paper. This section is more or less the abstract part. The second part is the complete mathematical derivation process, which is a brief reasoning formula in Junxin's original paper published in Advances in Mathematics; The third part is a detailed experimental process and data analysis, but the derivation and application of mathematical formulas in the data analysis process almost include some of the most basic structural mathematical models and analyses of quasicrystals in the following decades. Parts IV and V can be thought of as one part. In this part, Junxin gives a clear definition of quasicrystals and the properties summarized from experimental data. The complete mathematical structure model of the quasicrystalline and the equation of the distribution function are given.

In general, this paper is like Maxwell's equations, which encompasses all the properties of quasicrystals and all the structural analyses. At the same time, most of the experimental content in chemistry is taken into account.

After reading a lot of information, Junxin revised the format to the standard format of chemistry papers, and after some revisions, the first draft of the paper was finally completed.
