In the current Xihai University, Wang Hao is the pillar of the figure.

He has a higher status than the principal.

Although Wang Hao does not participate in the development of the school, his occasional suggestions will definitely be adopted, even if the principal has doubts in his heart.

That's what Yan Fu thought.

He didn't understand why Wang Hao put forward the idea of hiring a large number of algebraic geometry talents, but he didn't understand it, he didn't ask for the bottom of it, but immediately convened an internal meeting of the school, and asked the financial side to prepare to allocate funds specifically for talents in the field of algebraic geometry.

The school immediately issued a relevant announcement announcing a new talent recruitment plan.

The announcement is just a simple introduction and the treatment of relevant talents, but it is impossible to wait for talents to come to the door, but to take the initiative to sincerely invite.

Several departments in the school have joined hands to launch a formal "talent poaching plan".

Just like the principal Yan Fu thought, compared to other fields, algebraic geometry talents are relatively easy to recruit.

This area looks somewhat pitiful.

The vast majority of scholars who specialize in algebraic geometry work in universities and can't even find a lab job, because algebraic geometry is the study of pure mathematics and has little to do with applications.

Scholars engaged in the study of algebraic geometry can only work within universities, and some high-end scholars can concentrate on research in mathematical institutions, while most of them need to be engaged in teaching.

Some of the outstanding talents in algebraic geometry in China have gone abroad to do research, because the field of algebraic geometry is a theoretical field of pure mathematics, and it is very difficult to apply for research and development funds.

In this field, it is difficult to develop and produce results, and it is not easy to have good treatment.

Even if you are an excellent doctoral student from a top university in China, it is not easy to stay as a lecturer in a domestic university.

There are some excellent doctoral students, and after some achievements, they simply go to work in foreign universities.

Of course, there are also doctoral students from foreign universities who return to domestic universities to work, and the premise must be that there are certain results, and even if there are achievements, it is very difficult to apply for R&D funds in the future.

In addition, the circle of algebraic geometry is very small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that famous scholars know each other.

Xihai University recruits talents in algebraic geometry, and also provides very good treatment, and the settling-in fee alone is from 2 million, which sounds very attractive.

Other benefits are also attractive, such as excellent doctoral students can directly sign a long-term contract when they come to the university, and they can be transferred to a formal position within a fixed time, thus skipping the process of "either promotion or leaving".

Some very good algebraic geometry scholars can directly get the treatment of a full professor of the fourth grade.

In fact, there is a limit to the number of places available for regular positions.

In the Faculty of Science of Xihai University, there are only six places for associate professors or above, and there are only about 15 places for the Mason Tree Science Laboratory for researchers and associate researchers, plus a few places for the teaching and research department.

That's pretty much enough.

But in fact, because there are some lecturers in the university who will be promoted to associate professors normally, some of the places in the official positions must be reserved for the university, not all of them, and the number of posts is definitely not enough.

The school meeting discussed the situation of "more outstanding scholars", and decided to give more financial subsidies to scholars who do not occupy the quota of the system for the time being.

A series of university policies were released, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of scholars in the field of algebraic geometry.

Some of them are slightly famous, or have certain achievements, and they have received a call from Xihai University, specially inviting them to work at the university.

Xihai University lowered its posture and behaved very sincerely, which made many scholars excited.

In fact, the main target groups for university recruitment are scholars working overseas and excellent PhDs who have graduated from domestic universities.

Scholars in the field of algebraic geometry who can work in overseas universities, or serve as visiting scholars or temporary lecturers, have a certain level of ability.

Doctors who graduated from domestic universities also look at the level of ability.

In the absence of certain results, it is necessary to consider various factors such as ability level and age.

There are some excellent PhDs who are still very young, and even if they are not fruitful, because they are still very young, they have great potential for the future.

……

At the same time that Summersea University is recruiting people for algebraic geometry, the Center for Condensed Matter Physics is preparing to replicate the University of Chicago's experiments.

Zhou Minhua, Wu Hui and others, after coming to Xihai University to meet Wang Hao, went to the superconductivity experimental base of Factory 244, and then returned to the capital to prepare for the replication experiment.

They have in their hands the "formula" of the gas mixture given by Wang Hao.

There is a recipe, it is enough.

The preparation of this experiment is still relatively complicated, and the most difficult thing is to create an ultra-high pressure environment for superconducting materials, and use the environment of ultra-high pressure materials to realize the arrangement of AC gravity experiments.

Even for the relatively high-end condensed matter physics research center, it took more than two weeks to prepare for the experiment.

After completing the preparation of the experiment, the experiment officially began.

Zhou Minhua, Wu Hui and others passed over that day, including another deputy director of the Bureau of Science and Industry and an academician of the Mathematical and Physical Science Park, and a group of people were close to the experimental site waiting for the results.

The preparation time for the experiment was long, but the experiment was short-lived.

Soon, there were results.

Professor Ying Kehua, who was in charge of the experiment, reported the results of the experiment with excitement, "We achieved the activation of superconductivity at 16 degrees Celsius at 1.8 million times the atmospheric pressure, and at 21.8 degrees Celsius, we detected the extreme value of the AC heavy field strength, with a value of 17 percent. ”

"The field strength of the superconducting state is 13 percent, and the extreme field strength is four points higher than the normal."

The results of this experiment made everyone present gasp.

As long as you know something about the experiment, you can understand that the results of the replication experiment are better than the results published in the journal Science by the experimental group of the University of Chicago.

The experiment was only achieved at 1.8 million times the atmospheric pressure, while the experimental group at the University of Chicago created 2.6 million times the atmospheric pressure.

At the same time, the peak of the experimentally activated AC gravity field was 5.8 degrees Celsius higher than normal.

As for the strength of the AC gravity field, there is nothing to say.

The AC gravitational field strength is directly related to the layout of the experiment and the superconducting material, but not to the peak of the AC gravitational field strength detected in advance.

The results of the experiment were confirmed.

Zhou Minhua also returned to the office of the Science and Industry Bureau, and she had received the confidential results report submitted by Wang Hao.

She was hesitant to go to Xihai University again to learn about the specific information of the results report, mainly because the information in it was so amazing.

It is said that a combination of elements has been developed through the study of this combination of elements, which will greatly increase the critical temperature of high-temperature superconducting materials.

At the same time, it also made a numerical statement, "It is possible to manufacture iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials of more than 100 K." ”

Zhou Minhua is well aware of what iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials above 100K represent.

This critical temperature of iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials can realize the large-scale application of superconducting technology in some fields.

For example, superconducting maglev trains can greatly reduce the cost of use.

For example, some components that specifically require superconducting materials to transmit electricity.

Wait a minute.

Now there are some companies on the market, specializing in the manufacture of iron-based superconducting materials, but the critical temperature is basically around 30K, and they have only just touched the edge of "high-temperature superconductivity".

The superconducting materials and related equipment produced by these companies are sold to laboratories for research, rather than for industrial use.

Today's superconducting technology is also used in industry, but the field covered is too small.

If we can develop iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials of more than 100K, it is equivalent to directly developing a large-scale industry.

At the same time, the industry may develop expansively in the future.

Zhou Minhua knows very well that this level of achievement is no longer something she can decide, and with the successful replication experiment that has just been achieved, she is also

There is no need to doubt anything anymore.

She simply submitted the information to the next level.

Ministry of Science and Technology.

Minister Zhao Enshun was sitting in his office, processing some major project application information, and he had a headache when he looked at the newly submitted applications.

It was a project application submitted by Academician Liao Guangyuan and many scholars and officials, hoping to build a superconducting maglev train outside the capital airport.

Major projects of this caliber are definitely not approved all at once.

This is not the first time Zhao has seen the project, he had heard similar discussions two years ago, and even sat in on Liao Guangyuan's speech, but this time he just formally submitted the project application.

When the major project application is submitted to Zhao Enshun, as long as it is passed, it can be discussed and implemented at the top level, but Zhao Enshun knows that it must not be passed directly, but should continue to hold it until there is a "ripe time", or find a good reason.

For example, some of the top scholars with significant influence support it.

Liao Guangyuan, the heavyweight is still not enough.

Although Liao Guangyuan is also an academician of the Academy of Sciences, even academicians are not qualified to decide on tens of billions of large projects, or even billions of projects, it is impossible to directly decide.

If it is only tens of millions or hundreds of millions of experimental projects, it can still be directly approved, and billions or tens of billions are too much.

Some scholars have this influence.

For example, some scholars who have made significant contributions to scientific research and have significant international influence.

Zhao Enshun could think of Wang Hao, and he thought, "If Wang Hao supports this project, you can consider approval and discussion." ”

"Otherwise......"

He shook his head anyway.

When Zhao Enshun was thinking about it, the assistant said at the door, "Minister Zhao, the Bureau of Science and Industry has submitted major confidential achievement information. ”

"A major secret?"

Zhao Enshun was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked the assistant to send the documents over.

He opened it and looked at it carefully, and was very shocked like Zhou Minhua's feelings.

At the same time, he also thought of a question, "If iron-based superconducting materials of more than 100K can be manufactured, the superconducting magnetic levitation project can be started, right?" ”

"Maybe ......"

"I still have to ask Wang Hao's opinion."

Zhao Enshun thought about it and immediately made a decision to form a team to go to Xihai University together.

The stakes are so high.

He had to go to Xihai University to see it in person and talk to Wang Hao himself in person before he could make the next decision.

……

Cho Eun-soon moved quickly.

When he decided to go to Xihai University, he immediately asked his assistant to help arrange the time, and at the same time found some top scholars in related fields, including other subordinate officials of the science and technology department, and set off for Xihai City together.

Zhao Enshun and his party came too suddenly.

Xihai University felt that it had just received the information, and it had not yet made preparations and waited for the group to come, and the ministerial-level visit was naturally different, and normal provincial and municipal officials needed to accompany them.

Zhao Enshun came suddenly without special notice, and after coming to Xihai City, he went to Xihai University, and then arranged for others to deal with the officials at the city and provincial levels, while he himself and Zhou Minhua, Academician Wu Hui, Academician Zhang Jinping and others directly talked to Wang Hao about the research results.

Wang Hao talked about his latest achievements, "I did a follow-up study of microscopic morphological geometry with Birkar and others, and described the architecture of different microscopic morphologies in the form of semi-topological definitions. ”

"When there are more constituent elements of a conductor material, the more complex the microscopic morphology formed inside it will be."

"This complexity is exponentially exponential, so we can only argue separately and describe it sideways with algebraic equations......"

"Ula Ula ~~"

Wang Hao said a lot of content in a row.

Academician Wu Hui is an expert in the field of superconductivity, and has studied Wang Hao's achievements in the field of superconductivity.

Others just

It's different.

Microscopic morphology, geometric equations, mathematical arguments...... A series of professional content that makes their heads big when they listen to it.

Later, Zhou Minhua couldn't help it, and interrupted Wang Hao, "Professor Wang, just say the results." ”

"I'm talking about results......"

Wang Hao muttered in a low voice, then shook his head and said, "Okay, in short, we relied on the study of the semi-topology of microscopic morphological geometry to complete the side argument and description. ”

"In the course of my research, I found a three-element combination that best fits the semi-topological structure."

"Here, I still have to explain."

Wang Hao listened for a moment and continued, "The three elements are talking about the structure composed of three elements, and the more elements that conform to the semi-topological structure, to a certain extent, it means that the higher superconducting transition temperature can be achieved. ”

"But, again, in the framework we are studying, it is almost impossible to argue for the four elements."

A few people felt their heads grow again.

Fortunately, Wang Hao quickly finished speaking, "In short, if a certain material contains the combination of the three elements that I found, it can achieve a higher superconducting critical temperature." ”

"The lowest is expected to be more than 100K, and the highest may reach 200K or even higher."

"Not necessarily."

Wu Hui grasped the point and asked, "So we need to study the materials that still have this combination, right?"

"Yes!"

Wang Hao affirmed and added, "But at the same time, we must also pay attention to confidentiality, a combination of elements, it is easy to leak out." “

Everyone else gets it.

This achievement is very significant, as long as the superconducting material with a critical temperature of more than 100K can be manufactured and can be used in industry, it will definitely be able to achieve large-scale application of superconducting technology.

In the future, it is likely to become a major material science and technology industry with expansive development.

As for the research results, because it involves very complex calculations and research logic, and the results are only known to Wang Hao, and at the same time, the information is very simple, and it is easy to leak out, so Wang Hao is submitting a confidential results report, just saying a "M1 type" code.

Then the research corresponding to the high-temperature superconducting materials must not be in the laboratory of the international public

The others began to think about it seriously.

Outcome information, that's it.

As for how to study the corresponding high-temperature superconducting materials in the future, it is still necessary to make a clear decision after internal discussion.

……

After talking face-to-face with Wang Hao, Zhao Enshun and others quickly returned to the capital to discuss the corresponding superconducting material research.

Seohai University is still hiring talents in the field of algebraic geometry.

In just one month, the university signed nine scholars in the field of algebraic geometry, including four scholars who returned from abroad, three doctoral graduates, and two young lecturers who had moved from other domestic universities.

The circle of algebraic geometry is small.

A set of actions by Xihai University has caused a lot of discussion in the circle.

Other domestic universities are also discussing, and they don't understand why Hopewell University is quickly hiring a large number of scholars of algebraic geometry.

What's the point?

"Could it be that Xihai University wants to establish a pure mathematical research system centered on Wang Hao?"

"However, Wang Hao's main research field should be number theory and partial differential equations, right?"

"There is only one Wang Hao, algebraic geometry is still a niche field, what's the use of signing more scholars?"

"Developing the level of algebraic geometry in college?"

"What's the use of that!"

The first university in algebraic geometry in China is Capital University, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Capital University occupies half of this field.

However, even at Capital University, there are not many scholars who specialize in algebraic geometry.

It is very uneconomical to hire a large number of scholars in the field of algebraic geometry, and the field of algebraic geometry is the field of pure mathematics, and the research can only rely on financial subsidies, and there is no output at all.

Also, compared to other mathematical collars

In terms of domains, algebraic geometry is more difficult to produce results, and even if it can produce results, its international influence is very low.

Soon.

There is a "slightly reliable" saying in domestic universities that Xihai University is ready to establish a friendly environment for the study of algebraic geometry.

The purpose of Seokai University was to poach Bilkar from Mizuki University.

This rumor is eloquent.

There are very few Fields winners working in China, and there are only three who can be said - Qiu Chengwen, Wang Hao and Bill Carr.

Qiu Chengwen is over 70 years old.

Bilkar is not yet fifty years old, and he is still in the prime of life.

Wang Hao is only 27 years old.

If Westsea University can poach Bill Carr, they will have two young Fields winners, and the influence in the field of mathematics will definitely be greatly improved, not to mention catching up with the international in the future, but it is possible to squeeze into the top in the country.

Qiu Chengwen believed this statement.

He also knew about Xihai University's actions, but he couldn't think of why at all, and the version circulating within the university felt very realistic.

By then, there will be two young Fields winners, at least in terms of top-level math talents, who have caught up with the top universities in China.

One Wang Hao can top many top talents.

Another Birkar has increased the number of talents, and has greatly expanded the fields covered.

They are the signboard of Xihai University, which will definitely attract more talents to join in, so that the mathematics of Xihai University can develop rapidly.

Qiu Chengwen suddenly became very worried, Bilkar did not return after going to Xihai University, and he didn't even have a phone call.

He had the heart to call and ask directly.

The opposite side of the capital university is a different feeling, for the poaching of Birkar, the capital university is a happy spectator, they will certainly hope that Mizuki University has as few talents as possible.

At the same time, some professors are more concerned about the recruitment of algebraic geometry talents at Hopewell University.

For example, Gao Zhenming.

Gao Zhenming is a leader in algebraic geometry in China, and many people believe that he and Bill Carr are only a Fields medal, and the gap between ability and field contribution is not large.

Gao Zhenming naturally has a very high status, but because he is engaged in research in a niche field, it seems that there is little point in having status.

For example, he was unable to arrange jobs for the excellent doctoral students he brought under his belt.

The number of formal positions at Capital University is limited, and it is very difficult for doctoral students in the field of algebraic geometry to stay in the university to work.

Gao Zhenming is also very concerned about the future of his students, some of whom are going abroad as visiting scholars, and some are looking for jobs at domestic universities.

It's still relatively better.

More than half of Ph.D. students need to give up the study of algebraic geometry to work in other fields.

If you are a student of average ability, it is also good to choose a job in another field, but it is a pity for a very good doctoral student to give up the study of algebraic geometry.

Zhang He is such a student.

Gao Zhenming hoped that Zhang He could stay in school and continue to engage in the study of algebraic geometry, but he was about to graduate, and there was no place in his hand.

Zhang He did not prepare for his departure, and it seemed that he was about to lose his job after graduation.

Gao Zhenming and others discussed the issue of recruiting algebraic geometry scholars at Hopewell University, and when he saw Zhang He again, he suggested that he go to Hopewell University.

"It's not bad to go to Isohai University."

"Although the environment of Xihai University is not as good as here, it is also a key university in China, and it may work with Wang Hao, and the treatment given by Xihai University is also very good.

Zhang He was moved by what he said.

He didn't really want to work in a small western city, but he decided to give it a try at Hopeful thinking that he could engage in algebraic geometry with peace of mind.

Because he was worried about the policy adjustment of Xihai University, he immediately submitted his resume, but he didn't expect the efficiency of Xihai University to be very fast, so he replied the next day and asked him to go over

Interview.

So Zhang He went to Xihai University.

Gao Zhenming's influence is still very great, and the outstanding doctoral graduates he recommended are themselves convincing.

After Zhang He arrived at Xihai University, he felt as if he had gone through the VIP channel, and signed a formal agreement in the afternoon after the interview in the morning, as if Xihai University was even more anxious than him.

Many scholars of algebraic geometry have enjoyed the same treatment as Zhang He.

In the circle of domestic universities, Xihai University feels like a "big wronged, signing a large number of algebraic and geometry scholars at once, not only the high expenditure in the early stage, but also the follow-up to "raise" this group of "unproductive" scholars.

During this period, at most, a few papers in the field of algebraic geometry were published, and they had no influence, and the citation rate of the papers was not high, that is, there was no data.

What's the point?
