"You're studying for a master's degree now, and it seems like you're still studying for a master's degree and a doctorate. From what I know at Princeton, it will take you four or five years by the time you finish your studies. So have you ever thought about the question after graduation? ”

"After graduation? That's a long way off! Wu Zhenjiang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slightly trance-like expression, "I haven't made such a long-term plan now." ”

"Have you ever thought about returning to China for development?" Junxin asked directly.

"Go back home? I don't know if I'll go back, but I guess I won't be able to go back in a short period of time! After all, there are no such good research conditions in China, and it is difficult to make results. Wu Zhenjiang thought briefly for a while, and finally said helplessly to Junxin, who already knew the result.

After listening to this, Junxin was a little disappointed, but he nodded very understandingly, after all, Wu Zhenjiang expounded a fact, the domestic scientific research conditions, especially compared with the United States in the eighties, are indeed not at the same level, and if you want to make a career in the scientific community, scientific research equipment is indeed a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

In fact, as far as Junxin knows, people who studied abroad in the 80s did not return to China one after another until 20 years later, when the domestic scientific research conditions and scientific research environment gradually improved, and that time was also the era of the so-called blowout of returnees. But now, among the international students who study abroad, in terms of scientific research conditions alone, nine and a half out of ten are unwilling to return to China for development, and the remaining half are more hesitant.

Although Junxin understood what Wu Zhenjiang said, he had no idea of continuing to communicate. So after a hasty chat with Wu Zhenjiang, he turned to others.

In fact, after Junxin learned that the international students from Harvard University would come forward to receive him, he had some ideas, and it was only one aspect of the desire to mobilize these brothers and sisters who had completed their studies to return to China for development. The most important thing is to promote the union or alliance of various universities in China.

Junxin has not forgotten that in his previous life, Junxin was born in SH Jiaotong University in the C9 Alliance of the Chinese University Alliance, at that time the C9 Alliance had been established, and the nine top universities in China plus the University Alliance formed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences allowed Junxin to obtain huge shared resources in order to complete its academic accumulation in a short period of time, and finally came to Princeton because of its ability and academic research by the world's top theoretical physicist Professor Witten. even broke his practice of not accepting disciples for a long time, and accepted Junxin under the door. In Junxin's view, sharing the resources of the C9 Alliance is the key. Not to mention anything else, just Junxin's supervisor recommended him to go to Princeton University as a graduate student, and one of the professors was born in the University of Science and Technology of China.

After coming to this world, China's opening up to the outside world has just begun, and even the exchanges between Chinese universities have gradually begun to become more frequent, but they are still far from the point of later generations. The trend of everyone sweeping the snow in front of the door is still quite serious.

Therefore, it is one of the main purposes of Junxin to promote mutual exchanges between various universities in China, and then form a university alliance to obtain more resources.

However, Junxin is not arrogant enough to dare to make decisions for the school on his own, although he is now very valued by the school, but in China, scientific research ability and administration are two different directions. According to Junxin's rational estimate, he will probably make this suggestion after returning to China, and he will be treated very rationally and solemnly by the school, and then what the school should do, there will be no follow-up.

However, today's group of international students gathered together gave Junxin a lot of inspiration, maybe the union between schools and schools, with Junxin's current influence is not even to think about it, because there are too many things involved, not only academically, but also administratively. But if this level is lowered a little, and the school-to-school alliance is shifted to a student-to-student alliance, then it will be a relatively feasible approach.

Of course, Wu Zhenjiang's idea made Junxin's originally simple idea begin to complicate it, Wu Zhenjiang is not willing to return to China for the time being, I am afraid that many students here have the same idea as him. If Junxin also stays in the United States to continue studying, then Junxin is not unable to launch a loose academic alliance between students, after all, the vast majority of students who can study abroad in this era are science and engineering, and it is not impossible to organize an academic alliance for international students.

And the only qualification issue that may become an obstacle is completely ignored by Junxin. He is not a presumptuous person, and with his current status in the academic world, none of these graduate students and doctoral students can surpass him. Although many times academic ability and organizational ability cannot be directly equated. But if Junxin proposes it, then once it is passed, he is equivalent to the leader among American students, and when he returns to China, his status will naturally be much higher than others. Many of these international students are the middle force of China's scientific community more than 20 years later, and if this procedure continues, Junxin will undoubtedly become the leader of China's scientific community in 20 years.

Unfortunately, Junxin had no intention of doing so, even though he knew that it would be the most comfortable path for him to do so.

As mentioned earlier, whether Junxin is in the past or in the present life, he has never given himself an English name, which has long shown from the side that Junxin's final idea has never been abroad, but to be able to participate in large-scale scientific research projects in China.

In fact, not long ago, after Junxin submitted his paper on the four-dimensional Pangjialai conjecture at Princeton University, Professor Mirno and Professor Fefferman, the head and deputy director of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, have privately hinted to Junxin many times in private, as long as Junxin can stay, then he will directly skip all undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies and directly obtain a doctorate degree in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University. Don't think that this degree is very good, it represents the highest recognition given by an institution that is one of the two major mathematics centers in the world, and through this degree, Junxin can even push any university or mathematics institution in the world and easily get a well-paid position.

However, in the end, Junxin did not agree, and he finally chose to return to China.
