"Senior Brother Sun, how are you doing? I remember you came to Princeton to study control mechanical engineering, which is an engineering discipline that emerged in the 70s of the last century, how did it feel? After receiving Zhang Yang's affirmative reply, Junxin focused on Sun Xiao with satisfaction.

Sun Xiao put down the water glass in his hand and said slowly: "I think if I had a choice, maybe I would go the opposite path with Qian Lao!" ”

Jun Xin frowned slightly and stared at Sun Xiao.

Sun Xiao waved his hand and said, "Qian Lao refers to Qian Xuesen Qian Lao." I remember that after Qian Lao was admitted to the Gengzi Indemnity Public-funded Study Abroad Quota at SH Jiaotong University, he chose the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but in the end, because of the applied training model of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Qian Lao was more painful, and finally chose to go to the California Institute of Technology, mainly engaged in theoretical research. ”

"However, when I was at Mizuki University, after I came into contact with the discipline of control engineering, I felt that this discipline and application are very related, Princeton is a person who mainly cultivates theoretical research, and if you want to achieve good results in control engineering, I think you should go to MIT in the end!"

Junxin nodded and said: "Massachusetts' science and engineering courses are indeed the world's first-class, and there is really no way to compare with Princeton in this regard, but if you want to realize this idea, you may need to pay a lot, is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"I want to transfer to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, of course, I can also be admitted directly to Massachusetts as a graduate student, but I'm not familiar with Massachusetts, do you have any good ideas?"

Jun Xin shook his head and said, "You can solve this problem with Senior Brother Ye, I remember that Gu Lao is a graduate of MIT, right?" And it seems that it only took him about three and a half years to set a record in Massachusetts from his bachelor's degree to his doctorate in MIT, and you can ask his old man for help, which should be considered a more reliable suggestion. ”

Sun Xiao nodded, saying that if he had time, he would go to Philadelphia with Ye Li to visit Gu Lao.

"Senior Brother Zhao, you are engaged in high-energy particle physics, right? Speaking of which, you and I are half a peer! Junxin turned his gaze to Zhao Fan again.

"Well, Li Jun and I are both engaged in high-energy particle physics, but the direction is slightly different!" Zhao Fan nodded and replied.

"I've read several of your recent papers published in Physical Review Letters, and to be honest, because of the different research directions, and the fact that mathematics has not yet reached that level after all, there are some places that have not yet been figured out, if I have time, can I ask you for advice?" Li Jun also interjected beside him. The two of them were selected disciples by Professor Zhou and belonged to the students engaged in theoretical physics research.

Jun Xin thought for a while and said: "In two days, Professor Yau Chengtong will return to the Institute for Advanced Study to give a report on the manifold problem of his Calabi conjecture, after which I will have free, but the time will be in mid-December, if you are in a hurry, you can go to the Institute for Advanced Study with me every Friday at three o'clock in the afternoon to participate in the discussion of the string theory group, it just so happens that we also lack a note-taker, and it is not a good choice to always let Horowitz and I do it at the same time, what do you think of this suggestion?" ”

"Is that the discussion that Professor Witten was in?" After Zhao Fan and Li Jun glanced at each other, they asked in unison.

"Oh? It turns out that you are a student of Professor Witten, it seems that Professor Witten mentioned his idea to you during class, so I don't need to be verbose, every Friday at 3 pm, the third conference room in the left corridor on the second floor of the Institute for Advanced Study, don't forget! It is a room rented in the name of Professor Dyson for weekly string discussions. Junxin said with a smile.

"Good!" The two were very excited to participate in such a big event and hurriedly agreed.

There is no need for Junxin to speak now, and everyone knows that Junxin is now using his influence to help everyone solve some academic problems. So without waiting for Junxin to ask, Murong Yun, who had not spoken and was not very familiar with Junxin, spoke first: "My problem should be easier to solve, I was selected by Professor Cheng to study crystallography at Princeton, but I found that many laboratories in Princeton, especially the crystallography laboratory, seem to be studying quasicrystals, so I want to get an opportunity to participate in the research group, and I want to start learning this aspect recently, you see...?" ”

Jun Xin naturally knew why Murong Yun said that his problem was easy to solve, you must know that the first person to study quasicrystals in the world, and the person who studied quasicrystals the most deeply, was himself, although he knew what was going on.

"Well, let's do it, I still have a part of the backup data of the complete experimental design and initial records when I was working on quasicrystals in my dormitory, which was for the International Union of Crystallography, and then I took it directly to Princeton, and you can come to my dormitory to pick it up if you have time."

"In addition, another main reason why President Zhu came to Princeton is that I reached a laboratory cooperation agreement with Professor Wenger not long ago, and President Zhu came to negotiate things on behalf of the university, I can recommend you to go to Professor Wenger's laboratory, I believe that with Princeton's teaching style and my recommendation, you should have a good harvest!" Speaking of this, Junxin smiled at Principal Zhu.

President Zhu interjected at the right time: "The selection issue has been discussed, and we will officially start sending graduate students to each other next year." But this year, because you are an exchange student, you now belong to Princeton, and with Jun's recommendation, there is no big problem. ”

"Thank you, Principal Zhu, thank you, Senior Junxin."

"You're welcome, usually my research work is busy, and I don't have much time to communicate with you, but now I finally have time, if I don't take the opportunity to solve it, Professor Lu will have to scold me to death when I go back!" Professor Lu was the head of this group of Princeton exchange students, so before Junxin's departure, he repeatedly told Junxin to help each other when he was out of the house.

"Where! Thank you anyway, though! ”

"Where's Senior Brother Cheng?" For Cheng Muyun, Junxin's attitude should be a little respectful, without him, Cheng Muyun is the youngest son of Professor Cheng, who has always helped him a lot, this is a debt of human affection, and it can't be hidden.

As far as Junxin knows, although Cheng Muyun embarked on the scientific research path of materials science under the supervision of his father, he finally became interested in metal materials, so he studied rare earth metal materials more, which made Professor Cheng's preparation to teach his organic materials completely useless, so although Professor Cheng was very satisfied with his son who did not rely on any of his own strength, he never gave him a good face.
