As a scientist in his eighties, Gu Lao rarely traveled across the ocean, and even during the period of close contacts between the United States and China, Gu Lao rarely returned to China. It's not just about his own will, it's about his energy and body. A long trip, no matter how special the arrangement, can't eliminate the physical and mental fatigue.

At this time, Gu Lao actually offered to go back to China to do some activities, although he had the idea of returning to the motherland to see, but after Junxin said his thoughts, he suddenly proposed to return to China to see the news, I am afraid that more reasons are still the idea of wanting to fight for Junxin in China. Although Junxin's current academic status in the international arena is incomparable to that of most people in China today, the phenomenon of seniority in the scientific community, especially in the applied scientific community, is still particularly serious. This is not all due to the corpse vegetarian meal and so on, I am afraid that the reason is more due to the issue of experience.

The biggest difference between experimental science and theoretical science is the accumulation of experience in long-term experiments. The experimental science community attaches great importance to empirical problems, because various problems often arise in the process of experiments, and the more experienced scientists are, the more they can control these problems, so that the experiment can be carried out according to the predetermined plan. And scientific experiments are often very expensive, so if the experiment fails, the cost is never a small amount. As a result, there is a great demand for experienced experimental scientists. As a result, the status of older experimental scientists is often very high.

At Junxin's level, such an engineering problem as independent leadership may not be very big. However, this is just Junxin's own opinion, and does not represent the thoughts of other people. Even in the eyes of the higher-ups, if this plan does start to be implemented, they would prefer to find someone who is politically competent and has sufficient experience to lead it. In this regard, Junxin will not even be taken into account. The only possibility is that someone with authority supports himself behind his back, so that it is possible to preside over such a huge project at such a young age, and this is exactly what Gu Lao has to do.

"Don't thank me, there's no shadow of this matter yet!" Gu Lao waved his hand and said.

"However, I think that if the top management is convinced, then the scope of this matter will be very wide, and it is impossible for the state to rashly implement such a huge plan without any investigation. After all, not everyone can compare with a superpower like the United States or the Soviet Union to have enough money to work on a huge project such as a space program that will be recorded in human history. Although the cost of the computer Internet plan cannot catch up, the scale will not be small! Junxin said with a frown.

"These are really important questions, but it's not something we need to think about right now, so instead of doing some preliminary work, when the country consults, this preliminary work may be a huge help for you!" Gu Lao said disapprovingly, any major scientific project in history has come over like this, no one can convince the country just after forming an idea, and there will always be some previous preparatory work to let the country see the actual effect, and then it can be approved.

Jun Xin nodded when he heard this, and said, "But the personnel aspect will be a huge flaw, and this is also a huge problem!" ”

Gu Lao frowned slightly and asked, "This is indeed a key question, do you have any ideas?" ”

Junxin did have an idea, but he was a little hesitant about this idea, and after thinking about it, he said: "I do have an idea, but I can't make up my mind a little, so I just want you to take a look at my idea, how about it?" ”

Gu Lao nodded, and Jun Xin said: "In fact, the construction of computers, based on the materials and literature I have consulted in these days, is roughly divided into two directions, one is mathematical logic, which is what I call algorithm and program problems; The other is the material problem of the computer, what kind of material is used to build which part, which aspects need to be upgraded, that aspect needs to be retained, and that aspect of the problem needs to be trade-off, that is, the problem of computer material engineering. The issues involved here are mainly mathematics and materials science. If you look at the specific basic disciplines, it should be mathematics, physics, chemistry and some biology. ”

"Not long ago, when I was giving a special report on Modell's conjecture at Princeton University, I had some exchanges with Professor Yau Chengtong and Professor Chern Shiingshen. At that time, Professor Qiu had an idea that I thought could be put to use! Junxin solemnly talked about the source of his idea, saying that this idea was not obtained casually, "Professor Qiu has always wanted to form a global Chinese mathematician conference, but because his energy has been involved in mathematical research, he has no time to achieve this goal. I think Professor Qiu's idea is very valuable to realize, but we can make a small modification on the basis of Professor Qiu's idea, change the global Chinese mathematicians to the global Chinese scientists, and hold the global Chinese scientist conference. We can put forward some issues related to computer development but not involve confidential research at the conference, and let everyone study them together, what do you think of my idea? ”

Gu Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and when Junxin finished speaking, Gu Lao couldn't help but shout hello. Then Gu Lao said to Junxin with an excited face: "I have never thought of such a thing as holding a global Chinese scientist conference before. However, I have had this experience in the case of an exchange meeting of Chinese scientists and scholars in the United States. In the past, a group of Chinese scientists and scholars studying in the United States often came to visit me and communicate with me, and I once convened an exchange meeting on a small scale, I think there should be no problem in holding a global Chinese scientist exchange conference, but the question of time and place needs to be carefully considered. ”

"I think it's best for the first Chinese Scientists Conference to be held in our own country. If there is no problem, it can be set at BJ As for the organizer, with my current status and influence at Mizuki University, there should be no problem in convincing Mizuki University, and besides, it is impossible for us to refuse such a good thing, so I will go back and discuss with President Zhu, who is visiting Princeton University, and agree on these issues as soon as possible. ”

"Let's settle it as soon as possible, and the list of personnel, we also need to settle it as soon as possible. My suggestion is to finally set up an executive body or presidium of the conference to deal with this matter, which can not only save our scientific research time, but also specialize in special tasks. Gu Lao nodded and added.

"Do you have any ideas about the executive agency?" Junxin thought for a moment and asked.

"I have only one suggestion, that is, there should be one person in each discipline in the country and in the country, and as for the top leader, it is better to take turns, how about it?"

Junxin thought for a while before saying, "I agree with you. ”
