Chapter Ninety-Eight: Preparations Before Leaving the Country
"Mengxue, are you with me? Or go with everyone? After everyone left, Junxin and Gu Mengxue came to Junxin's office, and Junxin asked casually.
"I should go with everyone, after all, I am not as special and exceptional as you. Besides, you're going to Canada, and you're going to a meeting and not a tourist, so it's not good to take me with you. Gu Mengxue replied calmly.
Junxin shook his head and said, "Actually, you can be regarded as having seen the discovery process of quasi-crystals throughout the whole process, even if you go to the meeting, no one will say anything, right?" ”
Gu Mengxue smiled: "But Xin, I don't have an invitation?" ”
"Okay, that's a problem, but it's totally solvable, isn't it?" Junxin said expectantly.
Gu Mengxue shook her head and said, "Forget it, in fact, it is very rare for me to be able to participate in this exchange student quota, so I won't break the rules and make the school embarrassed." ”
"Speaking of which, Mengxue, do you have any thoughts after the publication of "Microcontinuity Theory"?"
"I can't say it for now!" Gu Mengxue frowned and said, "After all, these novels are all short stories, and I plan to write a long science fiction novel." However, because I was preparing for the exchange student assessment during this period of time, I couldn't help but be a little nervous about the time, and I didn't have time to study the problem of thinking, so I didn't have a clue yet. ”
"If you can't figure it out, just think about it slowly!" Junxin shook his head and said slowly, "Princeton's educational tradition is the greatest pressure and the least supervision, in short, everything is on your own. You have enough spare time to think about your problems. ”
"What about you? Don't always just talk about me, how far have you studied your own subject? ”
"Actually, I've consciously cut down the content of my recent research, the micro-continuity theory you proposed..."Speaking of this, Junxin's mischievous Asaya Mengxue squeezed his eyes and said, "I'm working on solving the "abnormal" problem, and it is estimated that it won't be long before there should be a conclusion." In addition, in the field of quasicrystalline research, I have prepared three papers and a lot of research directions in advance, and when the laboratory is officially completed, I can devote myself to experiments at any time. It's math..."
"What's wrong with math?" Gu Mengxue asked nervously.
"It's nothing, Donglai didn't get the chance to go to Princeton, so he had to wait for the next time. The kink problem I gave him, he has almost studied it, the kink table of the thirteen nodes of the kink has been made, and now he is focusing on the research of kink invariants. Jun Xin said calmly.
"Okay, let's talk about what to do, how are you cleaning up over there?" Junxin took the initiative to interrupt the topic.
"Well, almost." Gu Mengxue was stunned for a moment and said, "After all, I'm not like you, I still have a lot of things to deal with after I go abroad, and the professor's letter of recommendation has been prepared for me, I just need to go back and pack my luggage." But there's no rush at all. ”
"You're so easy!" Junxin sighed. Among the twelve exchange students, Junxin has the most things, but his time is the least among the twelve. So his time is extraordinarily tight.
"Instead of sighing and complaining here, you might as well deal with the matter at hand!" Gu Mengxue said with disgust.
Junxin scratched his head and said, "Okay, you're free on my side, and I'll start sorting things out." ”
Gu Mengxue was speechless for an instant. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect Junxin to really listen to it. Seeing that Jun Xin began to bury his head in the absence of what to write after saying this, Gu Mengxue felt as if he had been defeated.
Jun Xin said that he was busy, it was indeed very busy, and his work was very heavy when mathematics, physics and chemistry were in full bloom. The second volume of the "Guide to Mathematics at Mizuki University", which he had spent a lot of time and energy compiling, required a comprehensive proofreading, and after receiving letters from professors and researchers from universities and research institutes across the country, Junxin made appropriate revisions to the contents of this part, which is still in progress.
There are also many problems as mathematics, such as the research paper on proving the twin prime conjecture promised to Professor Hu, Junxin sadly estimated that he would probably not be able to give the first draft of the paper before going abroad. It's not that you can't complete the calculations, but you really don't have the extra time to complete the paper.
I sorted out the things to be done in mathematics before going abroad, including the revision of the second volume of the "Mizuki University Mathematics Guide", the finishing of the first draft of the third volume, the revision of the lecture notes of the algebraic geometry course, the completion of the first draft of the twin prime conjecture paper (as much as possible), and even the research guidance on the kink problem caused by Wei Donglai not going to Princeton University as an exchange student. It also includes the receipt of the paper published in Acta Mathematica Sinica, etc.
In physics, he needed to complete research on the "anomalies" of superstring theory, and he also wrote to Professors Schwartz and Professors Green to discuss the problems related to superstring theory.
In addition, Junxin also participated in part of the BEPC work at the invitation and request of Professor Zhou to a certain extent, and he needed to work out some relevant content about his own work.
The rest is chemistry, because Junxin thinks that he is only doing research in crystallography, and he will participate in the International Union of Crystallography in August, so the list of plans he has made is to be completed in the last week.
Compared with the problems at work, the most headache for Junxin is the handover and arrangement of things in his position.
In the past year at Mizuki University, what Junxin has accomplished may be something that others can't accomplish in a lifetime. However, for him, these names are a drag.
Junshin held a total of two positions at Mizuki University, but it can also be said that there are three. The first is a senior researcher at the Institute of Applied Mathematics at Mizuki University. Since he is the only researcher among the dozen professors who studies theoretical mathematics and mathematical foundations, as soon as Jun Xin leaves, the research on mathematical theories and foundations of the Institute of Applied Mathematics will fall into the same situation as before. Before leaving, he had to find a researcher who could at least maintain the basic research of mathematics to take his place and research direction.
The other identity is the director of the joint quasicrystallization laboratory of the Department of Chemistry, according to the current construction progress, theoretically the entire laboratory can be put into use in two or three months, but if he is away for a period of time, then the laboratory lacks a backbone. This was a catastrophic blow to a newly established laboratory. And especially the last thing, Junxin doesn't know what to do.
