After chatting with Xu Xiao's girl for a while, Xu Chuan hung up the phone.

He never interfered with his sister's choice, at most he gave his ideas and suggestions.

If this girl can find a way out of chemistry or biology, that's great.

Mathematics, physics, or chemistry and biology are all sciences, and there is no superiority or inferiority.

It's just that when he goes back, Old Tang will definitely complain to him, right?

Xu Chuan suddenly thought of Teacher Tang from Star City No. 1 Middle School, and couldn't help but smile.

If you want to talk about talent, Xu Xiao must have a talent in physics, otherwise Lao Tang would not have been ready to focus on cultivating it before.

It's just that I didn't expect that this girl also changed her mind on her deathbed and ran away to do something else.

Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the table vibrated again.

This time, it was NTU tutor Chen Zhengping who called.

"Hey, Xu Chuan, are you up?" Chen Zhengping's inquiry came from the phone.

Looking at the sun that had risen outside the window, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "It's already up." ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping joked with a smile: "You are too self-disciplined in this life, proving that the seven millennial problems have not had two parties?" ”

"If this is put on someone else, the flowing water mat will have to be held for three days and three nights."

Xu Chuan was a little embarrassed and said, "How can it be so exaggerated." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Chen Zhengping shook his head with a smile and said, "When do you come back, the school will hold a graduation ceremony for you." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You can't have graduated from Princeton, and I won't let you go." ”

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly, he almost forgot that he hadn't officially graduated from NTU yet.

After thinking about it, he replied: "At the end of the year, I will go back here for about a small year." ”

Chen Zhengping frowned slightly and said, "It's too late for you to come back this time, and the school is on holiday at that time." ”

Xu Chuan said indifferently: "It's okay, I don't pay attention to this." ”

Chen Zhengping held his forehead and said helplessly: "You don't pay attention to it, the school pays attention to it, and you come back so late, how can you give a speech to other students." ”

"Uh." Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "There's no need for a speech or something." ”

"Why is it unnecessary, this is Hodge's conjecture, the seven millennial problems, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are now the first person in the domestic mathematical community. Invite the first person in the mathematics field to give a speech, other schools can't invite it, and I don't have this blessing. ”

After a pause, Chen Zhengping continued: "In addition, you solved the Hodge conjecture, there are rewards in the school and the city, not to mention millions of them, come back early to receive the award." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was a little crying and laughing, shook his head, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back early." ”

In order to get him back to give speeches, the school began to tempt him with bonuses.

However, this time to prove Hodge's conjecture, the reward will definitely not be less.

Not to mention the rest, the Kray Institute of Mathematics alone has a prize fund of a whole million meters.

As for the domestic rewards, whether it is Nanda or Jinling City, or even from Suzhou Province to the country, or even from Xiangnan, layer by layer, there are at least several millions, and it is not impossible to even break the eight-figure figure.

This is Hodge's conjecture, the Seven Millennium Problems.

Of course, it is more important to address the implications and status of this conjecture.

Although the Fields Medal is not as famous as the Nobel Prize, no university or scientific research institution in the world will refuse to join a Fields Medal winner, whether it is placed at home or abroad.

And in China, this influence is even heavier.

The first Chinese Fields Medal has more influence and significance than ordinary awards.

If it weren't for Xu Chuan's too young, he would even have the idea to expand his influence and popularity.

Of course, it's not feudal superstition, but to try to expand its popularity and make it a character similar to an academic model.

For a country, no matter which aspect of the emergence of a world-class scholar, it can greatly enhance the self-confidence of the country and the people, and can also promote the development of the entire discipline in the corresponding field. It can even be derived into other fields.

And for me, there is a great need for such a person in the basic sciences and natural sciences at the moment.

Those who returned to China before were once pushed to the altar, but they finally gave up due to various limitations.

Now that a more suitable candidate has appeared, how can it not be exciting.

......

At the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Xu Chuan called a housekeeper to clean up his villa.

The villa was one of the benefits offered by Princeton after he was called a tenured fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

In addition, there is a salary, and it is two.

One is a full professor from Princeton University, with an annual salary of 600,000 meters.

The other is a tenured fellow from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, with an annual salary of 400,000 meters.

The total of the two salaries is a total of one million meters, and when converted, his annual salary is almost 7.5 million.

And that's just the salary, but there are a variety of other benefits.

For example, scientific research project funds, housing purchase subsidies, performance subsidies, allowances, project commissions and other subsidies.

Comparatively speaking, this salary package is amazing.

Even if he proved Hodge's conjecture, he didn't have a lot of honors, and the top two in the mathematics world were the Cafford Prize in Mathematics and the other was the Morningstar Prize in Mathematics.

Even if he can win the Philippine Award steadily next year, there is a good standard for the Philippine Award.

For example, after Tao Zhexuan won the Fields Medal in 2006, the salary offered by the University of California to keep him was only an annual salary of 800,000 meters.

The annual salary of 800,000 meters of gold does not sound like much compared to a Philippine Award winner.

But this number is actually very good, after all, this is the reality, not a certain β with an average monthly income of more than 10,000, nor a certain sound, with an annual income of one million per capita.

In fact, in China, only about 0.5 percent of people earn more than 10,000 a month.

Based on a population of 1.4 billion, the number is only 7 million.

Seven million versus 1.4 billion.

That's actually quite a small percentage.

The per capita monthly income on the Internet is more than 10,000 and 1 million per year, which is just the amplification effect of the Internet. A lot of things that you couldn't see or understand before are now available on the Internet.

Coupled with services such as big data estimation, so that people who can surf the Internet will have an illusion.

I have to admit that the Internet has a subtle impact on a person. Some extravagant and wasteful social chaos on the Internet in order to attract attention will give some people who are difficult to distinguish right from wrong a wrong concept of consumption.

In fact, in China, the annual salary of an ordinary university professor is about two or three hundred thousand, which is still a 211 or 985 level professor.

If you don't go out of the way with your conscience, your income won't be high.

Of course, the weekly courses given by university professors are fixed, and there is a lot of spare time, so they can do their own things, or rely on their ability to earn extra money, and naturally they don't just rely on their salaries to live.

But this still does not avoid the fact that domestic scientific research staff are paid relatively low.

If this were not the case, there would not be so many scientists, professors and other top talents in various fields who go abroad for development or immigration every year.

In the field of science, it is an indisputable fact that domestic treatment is indeed relatively weak.

Although there is some compensation in terms of reputation, honor, resources, etc., if the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation cannot be solved, these things are of little significance.

After all, people always yearn for a better life.

In modern society, money is not everything, but it is impossible to live without money.

......

After the housekeeping aunt cleared out the villa, Xu Chuan began to move.

Compared with living in a dormitory of about 20 square meters, he still prefers to live in a villa.

Especially when this villa was picked by himself and he had lived in it for more than ten years in his previous life.

Although he estimates that he may not be able to live for a long time, and he will live until the start of next year's International Mathematical Congress, it is good to be able to experience it again.

Moving alone is a very hard and troublesome thing, even if he is a big man, he doesn't have as many clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and all kinds of messy things as a girl, but he has lived in Princeton for nearly two years, and he has accumulated a lot of things.

In particular, the number of various books and materials is even more amazing, so he called Senior Brother Lin Feng, who also worked in Princeton, to help.

It took the two of them a whole day to transfer all the things in the dormitory to the villa.

And Senior Brother Lin Feng, who was called over by him to help, was even more tired and collapsed directly on the sofa in the living room.

After taking out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and throwing one bottle to Lin Feng, Xu Chuan also sat on the sofa, and the remote control in his hand turned on the TV on the wall, making a little noise in the room.

"It's really enviable."

After unscrewing the drink and filling half a bottle, Lin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the empty living room and sighed.

Xu Chuan didn't understand this Senior Brother Lin's words for a while, and asked casually: "What do you envy?" ”

"Of course it's a villa, you live alone in a single-family villa, and it's still in Princeton, who doesn't envy it." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"What's this, it's not my house, it's just for Preston to live in, you can rent one." Xu Chuan didn't care.

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Big brother, this is Princeton, do you know how much it costs a month to rent a villa here?" To say the least, it's a few kilometers bigger, and I can't afford to rent it. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Not everyone is as rich as you. ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan asked in surprise: "I remember that your salary is not low, right?" Princeton's assistant coach has 70,000 or 80,000 meters a year, plus subsidies and benefits, and other income, so there's no problem renting a house here, right? ”

The Lin brother has now completed his studies, graduated from Witten, and is taking over the position of assistant professor at Princeton.

Compared to other students, it is still very powerful.

After all, not every student who comes out of Princeton stays here.

"But I can't use half of my money to rent a house." Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and continued, "And I'm going to prepare to return to China." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's face showed a hint of surprise, and he asked in surprise: "Go back to China?" Didn't hear you say that? ”

"And you're back home, what about your little girlfriend? Aren't you planning to get married next year? ”

Lin Feng smiled and said, "She returned to China with me and is going through immigration procedures." ”

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing!" Senior Brother Lin. ”

Lin Feng took a sip of his drink, and then said, "Speaking of which, I returned to China this time, and it has something to do with you." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chuan showed a puzzled expression, how did this senior brother get involved with him when he returned to China?

Lin Feng explained: "Because, it is said that our country is about to become a member state. Therefore, the state is recalling a group of foreign students and scientific researchers in this field. ”

"Of course, I don't know if this news is true or not, but since there is news coming out, then there is a high probability that it should be true, once this news is officially announced, a group of people will definitely need to participate in the work."

"And I participated in your scientific research experiment on the mystery of the proton radius earlier, plus I have work experience, so some time ago, the people from the 'National Talent Project' team found me, hoping that I can return to China to work."

"Kessler also had previous work experience, so like me, he went through the talent introduction plan and was ready to return to China to work with me."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "I'll go, why haven't I heard this news?" ”

Lin Feng looked at him in surprise and asked in surprise, "You haven't been approached by the people of the 'National Talent Project' team?" ”

"This shouldn't be, you're a full-fledged researcher, and you've solved the mystery of the proton radius, calculated the ideal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs with Yukawa, the third-generation heavy quark, and completed the observation experiment."

"I thought you were one of the first to be found."

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "No one has really looked for me." ”

Lin Feng smiled and touched the drink bottle with him, and said, "Maybe your achievements in mathematics are too good, causing others to ignore your achievements in physics." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Lin." ”

Although I don't know how I agreed to China's accession, I don't know what the country has paid in this negotiation process.

However, joining the membership is definitely a great news for both the country and the Chinese physics researchers.

For a country to become a member state, the proportion of each member's annual contribution determines the share of the country's industrial and technological equipment and the proportion of its international staff, according to the statute.

In other words, the share of the member country's contribution will be partially refunded in different forms to promote the industrial and scientific progress of the member state, and the larger the contribution share, the more conducive to expanding the number of national employees of the member state.

Therefore, the payment of contributions by member countries is not a one-way flow, and will have a cascading and compounding effect, which will form a feedback to member countries.

Of course, Member States are certainly not treated as well as Member States in this regard.

But for Huaguo, even some technology after the restriction is a pretty good return.

As far as the physicists in China are concerned, there are greater prospects for the development of high-energy physics, particle physics, and nuclear physics in the future.

With the background of Member States, whether it is the application for the use of LHC Large Strong Particle Collision or other scientific research work, it will be more convenient than a simple partnership.

】

As for Senior Brother Lin Feng, the first batch of talents recalled by the state, no matter what, in this new field, a world can definitely be developed.

The first to come can always have an advantage, the first person to eat crabs can taste the deliciousness of crabs first, whether it is on the road of scientific research, or later in political management, or other aspects, this qualification alone is enough to develop something.
