"You don't say what a freshman said!" Gu Mengxue said softly to Junxin.

"Well, that's true!" Junxin agreed. This is the speech of the famous mathematical physicist James Dyson in 2008 at a speech prepared for publication in **************. Although the lecture was cancelled for some reason, it was later published in a journal and caused a huge sensation at the time. At that time, Dyson was already in his seventies, and naturally there was a kind of expectation and wisdom of the elderly in and out of his words, which was naturally not the words of a seventeen-year-old person like Junxin.

A British-American, Dyson spent his early years in England following Hardy and later coming to the United States, where he was a tenured professor at the Princeton Institute. Dyson worked as an assistant to Albert Einstein and achieved decisive results in quantum electrodynamics. In addition, Dyson also proposed a famous "Dyson sphere" theory, which extended the criteria for grading civilizations.

According to Dyson's theory, a first-class civilization is one that can use all the natural resources of the world in which it operates; Level 2 civilization refers to the ability to create objects like Dyson spheres, which can use all the stellar energy of the world in which they live and can process all the energy output of the stars; Level 3 civilization means that human beings are able to use all the energy and technology of the world in which they live, and do all things within the rules of physics under God. According to this grading scale, humans are currently at a level of 0.7.

"You're a very strange person." Gu Mengxue said.

"But don't be too surprised about me, maybe it's not what you think!" Junxin replied.

"Oh? Anyway, they are all classmates, and we will see each other often in the future. Gu Mengxue didn't respond, and said lightly.

Junxin smiled and didn't answer. This is obviously the rhythm of Xiaogu Liang who is not satisfied with his answer, so he simply bypasses his thoughts and does it himself. This made him see a trace of the peculiar aura of the later generations.

After the meeting, Junxin walked unhurriedly with Hua Lao's team towards the rest room, because of Hua Lao's instructions, no one questioned the difficulty, and along the way, he entered the lounge again.

After everyone finished speaking, they all said goodbye and left, Hua Lao beckoned Junxin to come to his side and sit down, and said, "Your speech today is very exciting, not bad. But there's a question for you, do you think you're a bird or a frog? Are you Cartesian or Baconian? ”

Jun Xin was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer, of course he could hear Hua Lao's voice, asking him about his future development direction. Hua Lao did not urge, but picked up Junxin's manuscript and began to read it carefully.

The paper is very long, about dozens of pages, skipping the preface and going directly to the axiom and formula area, Hua Lao's expression suddenly began to become serious. Although he had heard of the Mordell conjecture and had not studied it carefully, he did not expect that the Mordell conjecture would contain such a complex and difficult process, so it took nearly half an hour just to read the formula axioms in the second part, which had not yet entered the body of the paper.

"Your research is a synthesis of most of the knowledge of geometry and algebra, very good! It seems that I have to go back and study slowly for a while, and I will not be able to figure out the question just now, you also go back and think slowly, and I will write to you after a while, if you have time, maybe you can come to Tsinghua Garden again, and we will talk about it then! ”

"Then Hua Lao, you rest first, don't rush the paper first, I'll leave first!" Junxin shook his head and said.

"Well, go ahead!" Hua Lao didn't look at Junxin, but picked up the paper again and read it.

The time was close to noon, but Junxin didn't feel the slightest hunger, and walked around the Tsinghua Garden alone, thinking about Hua Lao's words. He really doesn't have a good plan for his future development. But now this problem has also become a top priority to be solved.

He came from the afterlife, a prosperous world, far ahead of this era. And after coming to this world, his memory and logical thinking ability have undergone a huge mutation, almost unforgettable image memory ability, logical thinking ability to establish his various models in his mind and deduce any problem, and a special golden finger that can be recalled by reading papers in his previous life. These three abilities are the greatest foundation for him to be able to embark on the path of academia in this world.

But I didn't have a detailed plan for my previous self, so my life obviously didn't enter that high-level research state, at most the life of a graduate student above the university level.

For college students in this era, this seems to be enough, but it is far from enough for the special existence of Junxin, so I can't help but think that maybe I am really slacking.

As for Hua Lao's subtext, he naturally understands very well that both the frog of the Baconic school and the bird of the Cartesian school have their special meanings in China at this time.

At this time, China's science and technology lagged behind the world's top too much, the first, second, and third industrial revolution China did not catch up, or because of national conditions, or because of closed reasons, but not catching up means falling behind, and now want to make up for it, what is needed is a large number of frogs to work diligently, and strive to shorten the gap with the world's top countries. But Junxin knows that the fourth scientific and technological revolution is coming, although Huaxia has also caught up, but after all, there is a gap in the background, so it is only catching up, but it has not determined the leading position, at most it has not been opened up.

From the perspective of Junxin's self-development, it is most appropriate to be a bird, he can provide research in the general direction, and expand new fields, leading China's development direction and scientific research is the most appropriate way, so that it will be helpful to both himself and the country. But if you want to be a frog, then you can also use your ability and the level of the times to quickly shorten with the level of the top countries.

"Birds and frogs!" Junxin sighed involuntarily.

"What are you thinking?" A voice abruptly remembered in Jun Xin's ear, Jun Xin was a little familiar, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Gu Mengxue, who had a relationship with him.

"I'm thinking about a question, do you think China needs birds or frogs now?"

"It's all missing!" Gu Mengxue Bingxue was smart, and immediately guessed Junxin's confusion and expressed her opinion.

"Don't you know, Junxin? Even if China lacks a foundation, after so many years, some people are doing basic things to remedy, and what is really lacking is the kind of leader! Gu Mengxue blinked her eyes and said slightly slyly.

"How do you know that?" Jun Xin asked in surprise. In his eyes, liberal arts students have always been uninterested in these, is it the special ability of the top student in the college entrance examination?

"Secret!"

"A scientist's interest is to unlock secrets!

"Oh, if you have the ability, you can solve this secret!"

"Retaining a little hazy beauty is also one of the beauties of science, like chaos!" Junxin's tone was slightly insufficient. However, the doubts in my heart have been solved and I have become cheerful.
