New semester, new atmosphere.

With many more faculties, the campus has become more lively.

At this year's orientation ceremony, Ning Xiao refused to speak on stage as a student representative, but it doesn't matter, his spirit is still there.

In the president's speech, Chen Yonggang shouted at the conference with high spirits: "This century has officially entered, the development of science in the world depends on China, and the development of China depends on the body!" slogan. This probably also represents the official and clear start of the official support for Ning Xiao's speech at the freshman conference last year as a freshman representative.

The video was also quickly posted on the Internet.

Netizens with good things have Aite almost all 985 colleges and universities in China on Weibo, and there are always those who like to watch the excitement, hoping to see the strongest schools in Huaxia respond, and then just eat melons while eating melon seeds.

However, this time it was obviously miscalculated, and the matter was not picked up after all, because no one picked it up.

Shuangdan University updated its Weibo on the same day, quoting a paragraph of "Peach Blossom Fan? Lingering? The original text of "Leaving the Pavilion Banquet with Rest and Shooting": "Seeing the warbler crying in the Jinling Jade Palace, and the flowers of the Qinhuai Water Pavilion blooming early, who knows that it is easy to freeze...... This moss and green tile pile, I once slept in the wind and sleep; Fifty years of rise and fall are full; That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghost of Mochou Lake cries at night, and the phoenix perches on the owl bird. The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, and it is difficult to lose the old realm. ”

Excited netizens immediately began to popularize science with everyone in the comment area, and the ellipsis paragraph is the famous "Seeing him rise Zhu Lou, seeing him feast guests, seeing his building collapse!" ”

It's a pity that when netizens popularized science in the comment area, the editor of Shuangdan University's management Weibo deleted this Weibo very heartily.

Although a lot of pictures have been intercepted, but if they are deleted, they are deleted, and the imaginary Internet verbal war has not been able to fight after all, which will make many people feel regretful. But it doesn't matter, naturally there are jokes who go out collectively, and after all, it makes the Internet a lot more lively.

Jokes such as the rise of physical education teachers have finally become popular on the Internet.

However, Internet hotspots come and go quickly after all.

Not to mention that there are many strange things happening every day, many idols in China are heartbroken for the hot search on the Internet, and they never hesitate to come forward to attract the public's attention. Even if you have to apologize afterwards for occupying public space......

Therefore, after several well-known idols made all kinds of moths, the enthusiasm of netizens began to dissipate, and they began to discuss the scandal between xx and xx today, and the gossip news that is enough to shock the eyeballs at that time tomorrow.

That's probably human nature.

While technology is important, it's hard for the average person to feel how important it is. It's like when everyone thinks chips are very important when they are restricted, but once the restrictions are lifted, few people will pay attention to chips anymore.

At least before the computer and mobile phone are used normally, how many people will really pay attention to whether Huaxia can make chips every day?

Not important, not at all.

For the vast majority of people, as long as it doesn't affect their daily lives, no one will put too much energy into paying attention to these things.

It's nothing more than seeing it and complaining a few words, after all, how hundreds of millions of transistors are arranged to achieve one function after another, and it is impossible for people with insufficient brain circuits to understand it.

People who happen to be qualified to study these things are too lazy to educate everyone about these things on the Internet.

After all, the IQ gap between people can really be bigger than between humans and dogs.

Let a chip engineer go online to talk about the impact of quantum physics on the development of chips, and there is a high probability that he will end up in the dilemma of talking about chickens and ducks.

The uneven development of human intelligence determines that in this world, one percent of the people determine the direction of the development of civilization, and the remaining 99 percent of the people follow the times and move forward ignorantly. Life is less than 100 years, as long as you don't think about the future in the past, what you care about is still something that is closer to life.

After all, celebrity scandals are more interesting than science, and celebrity melons are edible to everyone, but science is really not something that everyone can participate in the discussion. Even the substitution of matter into scientific terms may not be understood, and the ubiquitous necessities of life activities with academic names will make people uncertain.

For example, 0.9% hydrohydroxy acid plus sodium chloride to make a solution, many people think it is not a good thing when they hear it, but if you talk about normal saline, you will probably think that this thing is very good.

That's probably the status quo.

Therefore, when the principals of the World Semiconductor Alliance began to choose to visit China, most of them were mentioned on the news, as long as no one deliberately set off a heat, it was probably a discussion in a small area.

……

Yes, the president and CEO of the World Semiconductor Alliance, represented by Intel, began to visit Huaxia frequently.

The banners are different, whether it is inspecting laboratories in China or production bases, these superficial excuses are all very good.

Of course, Huaxia, as a state of etiquette, no one debunks the true thoughts of these people.

Basically, when people come, there will naturally be an official reception.

The chip research center built by Apple for the University is naturally a must-visit.

Ning Xiao also met a lot of elders in the laboratory, as he said before, he was not responsible for talking to these elders about business issues.

Basically, people are coming, if the other party asks to visit the University of Body, visit Ning Xiao, then meet in the laboratory, everyone greets a few words, and then Ning Xiao will treat a guest to a meal, and when he leaves, he will also give a small gift, the gift is a chip made by the latest technology in the laboratory, from 160nm to 75nm An RF chip.

In fact, it is not valuable, but considering that the previous two first-generation 160nm industrially manufactured narrowband chips can be sold for a high price of 30 million US dollars, the chips given away this time have higher technical content and higher natural value, at least indirectly helping these Internet bosses save hundreds of millions of dollars.

It's enough to show how generous and generous the body is.

Of course, that's all Ning Xiao did.

If you want to talk about anything else, you can only get one sentence: "I'm sorry, I'm just a pure student, I don't understand anything." Talking about cooperation, talking about business, there are special people docking. If you want to talk about technology, you can talk about it. ”

Then he casually probed a few words of the other party's trade secrets, and the other side retreated.

However, the commercial department took this opportunity to win a lot of large orders at quite favorable prices. The University also finalized a large-scale supercomputing cooperation project with the visiting elders.

Bidding farewell to these tedious transactional work, under the high-intensity discussion of at least three group meetings a week, Chen Ideal almost understood Ning Xiao's graduation thesis. In the winter of 2018, when the semiconductor controversy came to an end, the date and place of Ning Xiao's doctoral dissertation defense have also been determined, which will be held in Ningyuan on Christmas Eve.

……

Monday, December 24, 2018, Yanbei Sports University.

For many college students who are full of youth and like to celebrate the holidays and like to be lively, today is indeed a very important day, Christmas Eve.

Especially for young people who are in love, today is another date day.

In many cases, it is true that it cannot be said that Chinese young people worship foreign countries and always like to celebrate foreign festivals. It is mainly a traditional festival in China, most of which are themed on family reunion, and they are more serious, and there are not many festivals that are really suitable for young people to go out to celebrate and lively.

The theme of the Spring Festival is a small family reunion, the theme of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a small family reunion, and the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival is a small family reunion.

It's also a Chinese Valentine's Day, with a romantic Queqiao meeting theme sounds good, but no holiday, no one reminds you, and it's very easy to forget, although it has been hyped by merchants for many years, but it has not set off any hot holiday atmosphere.

However, in the end, it was really not Ning Xiao's idea to defend the dissertation on Christmas Eve, and it was mainly necessary to participate in the defense of some academic elders.

Although generally speaking, the reviewers of the graduation thesis are anonymous, but Ning Xiao still knows the identity of the reviewers. Chen Ideal found two reviewers, both of whom are two veterans of differential geometry in China, Su Zhiming and Shi Fushen, both senior academicians of the Huaxia Institute of Mathematics. But it's hard to say whether this is Ning Xiao's face or Chen Li's face.

As for the composition of the defense committee, it is even more exaggerated, and it is still a super luxurious lineup of all academicians.

For example, Lu Zhengyue, the chairman of the defense, Fan Zhenhua, the secretary of the defense, and the expert reviewers, in addition to Su Zhiming and Shi Fushen, also include Ruan Zhiju, Zheng Yansi, Hu Zhihui, and Yuan Jingheng.

Basically, the entire defense committee members, except for Ning Xiao's mentor Chen Lili, who is not an academician, are all academicians, and most of them are veteran academicians.

The only relatively young Yuan Jingheng is 46 years old this year, and he has just solved a world problem of complex differential geometry, which is the time of infinite spring breeze.

You can imagine how high the specifications of Ning Xiao's doctoral dissertation defense are this time.

And today is also his doctoral dissertation defense, and no one else has one day for him to defend this time.

Therefore, Chen Ideal also informed Ning Xiao early that his defense process was different from that of other doctoral students, and that the presentation time could be extended to 120 minutes given that his thesis was a relatively novel topic. It is important to know that in the general doctoral dissertation defense, the report time of the doctoral application must generally be controlled within 40 minutes.

Of course, this is also something that can't be helped, after all, Ning Xiao's graduation thesis is more than 70 pages, including him and the reviewers think that there are not many places that can be saved, if you really want to control it within 40 minutes, you can only go through the process quickly, and there are not many memory points that can be left for discussion.

Anyway, today is a one-person thesis defense, which directly gave Ning Xiao two hours to play. So the start time is also relatively early, the thesis defense officially starts at 8 o'clock in the morning, as for when it will be completed, Chen Li didn't mention it, and Ning Xiao didn't ask. After all, there is no such thing as not passing, and naturally it is impossible to be nervous.

Ning Xiao got up from bed at 6:50 punctually in the morning as usual.

The only difference is that Lu Xiaoya, who has always liked to sleep until eight o'clock and is willing to get up, also got up early with Ning Xiao.

After washing up, she urged Ning Xiao to change into the formal clothes she specially selected with the two sisters of the Ning family yesterday - a set of expensive brand-name tunics.

After all, the doctoral dissertation defense is to be videotaped in its entirety.

Moreover, it is said that many master's and doctoral students in Huaqing and Yanbei have applied to audit Ning Xiao's doctoral dissertation defense. Of course, this is also normal, after all, it is a rare opportunity to be in the same room with eight academicians of the Huaxia Academy of Mathematics and two future associate academicians.

No one doubts that Ning Xiao can become an academician, as for Chen Ideal...... Ning Xiao can go to school, and there is no reason why the tutor can't go in the future.

After all, it was Ning Xiao's own choice of mentor.

Lu Xiaoya also planned to participate in this defense, not only her, Ning Xiao also made an appointment with her yesterday to participate in this meaningful day for Ning Xiao.

Of course, if she chooses to participate, Zhai Qiuxian will also go......

So she has her own tasks.

As for Ning Xiao, he didn't wait for Lu Xiaoya, he had to go to Ning Yuan to do some reception work first.

……

At 7:55 in the morning, Lu Xiaoya, Ning Xiao and Zhai Qiuxian walked into the 507 lecture hall of the Ningyuan Building from the back door almost stuck.

This is also the place where Ning Xiao defended his graduation today.

There are not many places left in the medium-sized lecture hall with a total capacity of 120 people.

However, this is not a problem for the three of them, because someone has already helped them take their place.

"Xiaoya, this way."

It was Zhuo Mingqian who shouted, he had actually returned to the capital from the western part of Nanhu during the summer vacation, but Ning Xiao was still on his honeymoon at that time and had no time to pay attention to him.

After the start of school, he was arranged to do some administrative work in Ningyuan and the chip R&D center, learn management experience, and prepare his doctoral dissertation by the way. Now we are waiting for the official listing of the 10,000-mu research base of the university, and I will be responsible for the coordination and management of various laboratories.

Hanging the sign of Ningyuan staff, it is natural to help the three of them occupy a good position early.

"Brother Zhuo, it's early." Lu Xiaoya walked over with the two of them in her arms and said hello to Zhuo Mingqian.

"Hehe, early, Ning Xiao, and this beauty, it's also early!" Zhuo Mingqian quickly glanced at Ning Xiao, who was surrounded by a group of old academicians in front of the lecture hall, and said hello to the three beauties with a bright smile.

Although he chased Ning Xiao before, and Ning Xiao is now engaged again, and her husband is also sitting in front, with Zhuo Mingqian's temperament, he obviously won't feel embarrassed by what hasn't happened in the past.

Ning Xiao is also hearty, not to mention that the two have never been in love, they have really talked about it, and they have already put it down for such a long time, and they also waved their hands at Zhuo Mingqian generously, and then sat next to Lu Xiaoya, only Zhai Qiuxian maintained her usual cold temperament, and completely ignored Zhuo Mingqian's warm greeting.

It's just that Lu Xiaoya and Ning Xiao grabbed the position too quickly, and she could only sit next to Zhuo Mingqian.

"Hey, hello beauty, let me introduce myself, my name is Zhuo Mingqian, a doctor of sports science at the University of Physical Education, seeing that your figure is so good, you must be exercising regularly, right? You can consult me about how to train scientifically. I'm unmarried, and I don't even have a girlfriend, so I don't have to be afraid to disturb me at any time, let alone have a misunderstanding. ”

Obviously, a year of volunteer teaching experience has not completely polished the edges and corners of this person, and he is still so familiar.

It's just that this time she obviously hit a nail, Zhai Qiuxian just glanced at Zhuo Mingqian, and then set her eyes on the front of the lecture hall.

"Poof......

Zhuo Mingqian didn't feel embarrassed, and Lu Xiaoya, who was sitting next to Zhai Qiuxian, couldn't help laughing.

However, the kind-hearted girl took the initiative to introduce Zhuo Mingqian before she was embarrassed: "Eh, Brother Zhuo, this beautiful sister is my best friend, named Zhai Qiuxian, and I can only help here." ”

"Zhai Qiuxian, this name is good, the person is like its name, Sui Liu has gone through autumn several times, and Yan sings the drama Demon Xian......"

"Shut up! It's time to get started! ”

When Zhuo Mingqian was shaking his head and preparing to comment on the name, Zhai Qiuxian turned his head and said coldly to him. Zhuo Mingqian immediately closed his mouth, because in the lecture hall, the chairman of the defense had already stepped onto the rostrum.

If you talk again, this is really disrespectful to Ning Xiao.

……

“…… In this article, I will conduct a targeted study of a class of karler-ricci flows with singularity. We will mainly discuss the existence and convergence of its long-term solution.

We will also discuss it in conjunction with the Wisted Kahler-Ricci Flow. The existence of the long-term solution of the Cone Odd Keller-Rich flow is obtained by using the smooth approximation of the flexing Keller-Rich flow, and then the convergence of the Cone Odd Keller-Rich flow on Fano Manifold is discussed by appropriately improving the Perelman estimation in the case of smooth Keller-Rich flow. ”

When the chairman of the defense finished introducing the agenda, Ning Xiao walked up to the rostrum and began to make a report.

Obviously, for non-math majors, this content is lengthy and uninteresting, and this report is probably no different from the book of heaven.

For example, Lu Xiaoya, ten minutes ago, she could secretly take a picture of the rostrum with her mobile phone with interest, and after ten minutes, she was already sitting in her seat and yawning, and her upper and lower eyelids obviously began to fight, and even a slight snoring after a while was not strange.

Cousin Ning Xiao is no better, and she looks like she is about to fall asleep. Zhai Qiuxian was very energetic, but her attention was obviously starting to drift......

In the last row of the lecture hall, among the foursome, Zhuo Mingqian was probably the only one who listened with relish.

This made Zhai Qiuxian, who was sitting next to Zhuo Mingqian, very curious, her work needed to maintain attention, but the content of Ning Xiao's report was too boring, so she couldn't help but ask softly: "Can you understand?" ”

"Hah, what are you kidding? If I could understand these things, I wouldn't have taken the exam back then. This is simply not something that normal human brain circuits can understand. ”

"And how else can you listen so seriously?"

"You don't understand that, do you?"

Zhuo Mingqian suppressed his voice, tilted his head slightly, and whispered in Zhai Qiuxian's ear: "Don't listen to what Ning Xiao said, you can look at those old men in the first row, they are all academicians, although you can't see their expressions, but you can carefully observe their movements, such as the one on the far left, I suspect that he didn't understand." Do you suddenly feel like you're not that stupid? ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"You look at other academicians, from time to time they will talk about two sentences, the third on the left, and occasionally take a pen to record, but you look at him, his posture has not changed until now...... I'll tell you the truth, when I had a group meeting, when I listened to other senior brothers talk about the Book of Heaven, I was also in a daze like this.

The most important thing is that I tried it yesterday while standing on the stage, and I can see it clearly everywhere. So even though I don't understand it, I have to look a little bit cultured......"

Zhai Qiuxian was a little speechless by Zhuo Mingqian's words.

Not to mention, when she followed Zhuo Mingqian's method to pay attention to this thesis defense, it seemed to become much more interesting.

As long as Ning Xiao's sound of the ancient well was filtered out, the whole person was in good spirits.

When she wanted to share this discovery with Lu Xiaoya beside her, she found that the two most important women around Ning Xiao were already asleep at this time. This made Zhai Qiuxian suddenly envious of Lu Xiaoya. If nothing else, find a man like Ning Xiao, at least you can not lose sleep at night, right?

……

“…… Please note here that in equation (3) I assume that the smooth divisor d∈|λkm|and h are smooth Hermitian metrics with λw0 curvature on a line bundle and λkm......"

Ning Xiao, who was standing on the rostrum, continued to explain the paper.

One thing to say, although Zhuo Mingqian couldn't understand the paper, he analyzed it very accurately.

The one on the far left he said was Fan Zhenhua, who was the secretary of the defense, who was here to help Ning Xiao support the field, although his research content also intersected with differential geometry, but it could be said to have nothing to do with Ning Xiao's paper, so he was naturally too lazy to participate in the discussion, let alone make records.

But then again, it's not that he doesn't understand it at all, and he doesn't find it very boring, on the contrary, Fan Zhenhua actually listens very seriously, after all, some mathematical ideas are interconnected, and he can naturally find fun in them.

And just like that, two hours passed in a flash.

Whether it's sleeping or really listening, time can actually pass quite quickly.

When Ning Xiao finished his report, he began the formal question-and-answer session.

However, it is clear that this is not a normal thesis defense, because the questions of the academicians quickly evolved into a discussion of questions, and the boundaries of the opposing expert groups began to become less obvious.

"I don't think the curvature of the number of deflections is uniform and bounded......"

"No, the consistent boundedness of the finite non-zero moment-related geometric quantities should be considered first......"

"But the proof process of this theorem 3, I don't think the completeness condition is taken into account, because the usual parabolic Schauder estimation does not give a high-order consensus estimate near the zero moment."

"This is not level, Ning Xiao, you can explain the preconditions to Lao Zheng again......"

……

The sound was so loud that it disturbed the dreams of the two women in the last row......

"Ah, are you done?"

"Defending ......"

As soon as she raised her eyes, Lu Xiaoya saw that Ning Xiao and several old men began to point out the country, and when she reacted, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Oops...... I woke up too early in the morning and couldn't help falling asleep. ”

"It's so sleepy, can't it?" Ning Xiao, who had just woken up, subconsciously asked.

"Oh, how is it possible, we said we would have a baby after graduation."

"Ph.D. applicants are requested to leave the venue with others, and the defense committee will enter the deliberation process......

"That's it?"

"Not yet, but it's going to be soon, it's just going through the motions anyway. Hey, I've seen it, the big old is the big old, if I can have this card when I defend in the future...... Tut-tut......"

"Well, and academicians who specialize in sports science?"

"Ahem, in fact, biology is also the same......"

"Hey, I feel that Ning Xiao's state is a little wrong, looking at his expression as if he is very troubled, is there a problem with the defense?" Lu Xiaoya said suddenly.
