Chapter 273: Weakness and Persistence

Xu Dajiang was overjoyed.

It's a pity that the real situation is a little different from what he thought.

"I am very grateful to Xilin Institute of Technology for preparing such an environment for me. I'll probably have to stay here for a week to talk to José about some of his latest research. ”

Oh, just for a week?

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's okay if Professor Witten can stay a little longer. Forehead...... By the way, Joze, we're not going to affect you here, are we? ”

Xu Dajiang glanced at Qiao Ze who was sitting on the side with a little embarrassment.

Now how does he see how this small building is not pleasing to the eye.

There is no place for serious visitors.

The construction of the building of the Institute of Data Research needs to be hurried, and Xu Dajiang decided to go back and urge this matter again.

"It's fine, but the conference room next door is more suitable for you to get down to business." Qiao Ze replied without raising his head.

It was expected that Xu Dajiang and Li Jiangao would come to visit Edward Witten.

"Yes, next door is where the group meeting takes place. Why don't we go and sit down? ”

Edward Witten didn't want to lose too much time.

He didn't go to rest, but insisted on sitting in his office in order to hurry up and read Qiao Ze's paper.

But thinking that one in front of him was Qiao Ze's nominal mentor, and the other was the dean of Xilin Mathematics College, the old professor decided to compromise.

After all, it's someone else's territory.

……

"Doing a briefing?" Sitting next to Qiao Ze's office, in the office used for group meetings, Edward Witten was a little embarrassed to hear Xu Dajiang's request, after all, he didn't come for this matter, and he didn't have any preparations.

"Yes, our teachers and students admire you very much. Since you're here, it's better to do a special report meeting, and you can decide the time. Xu Dajiang said with a smile.

If this kind of free wool is not picked, then he is not qualified as the dean.

"But I'm not prepared...... Edward Witten wanted to turn down the offer.

"No, no, Professor Witten, you can say whatever you want, such as a new direction for the development of physics, or further elaboration of M theory. Teachers and students of the college are very interested in this. Xu Dajiang still insisted.

"A new direction for the development of physics?" Edward Witten looked at Xu Dajiang in surprise, and said in a sullen voice: "Dean Xu, you are guarding a golden mountain, let me talk to you about this?" Isn't that what Professor Qiao should be giving a lecture about? ”

"Hey, Professor Qiao's level is certainly top-notch. But how to say it, you also know that his temperament is actually not suitable for doing a report meeting that tends to introduce a new direction like this...... "Xu Dajiang wants to complain about something.

Xu Dajiang also knew that there was a mountain of gold here, and the best way to expand his influence was to dig deep into the value of the person next to him.

But Qiao Ze's temperament would not succumb to his thoughts at all, what could he do?

"You should advise him that his latest research can change the world, but he is not willing to make it public in a short period of time, which is a loss for the whole world." Edward Witten said seriously.

Xu Dajiang looked at Li Jiangao, who was speechless, suspiciously.

Li Jiangao shook his head slightly.

He really hadn't inquired about Qiao Ze's recent achievements. didn't ask Qiao Ze to report any results to him.

So he knows as much as everyone else, as Qiao Ze officially announced at the April presentation, and his recent work will revolve around the mathematical structure of the theory of quantum entailment.

"Uh...... So you don't know? Edward Witten saw the confusion between the two and asked in surprise.

"Haha...... José is very reserved, and he rarely reports to us on academic matters until he is 100% sure. Xu Dajiang smiled awkwardly and forcibly explained.

Therefore, Xu Dajiang is still criticizing the original group intelligence project and the school stuck in R&D funding.

It's so bad that Qiao Ze is rich!

After that, almost all programs don't need to go through school......

In the past, I could shoehorn two projects into the past, but when I found that the speed of money approval was not as fast as the progress of other people's research, I had to give up in the end.

After that, Qiao Ze did not declare, the school did not approve the money, and it was Qiao Ze's freedom to post the results on Weibo.

Who is going to reason with this?

Really, Xu Dajiang has always felt that a talented guy like Qiao Ze shouldn't be rich, but it's a pity!

When Edward Witten heard this, he suddenly remembered that Qiao Ze had released the model containing quantum theory on Huaxia's public social platform before, and he immediately understood Qiao Ze's relationship with the school, so he smiled: "I see, okay then." I guess I thought I could tell you something. It's a Friday afternoon. As for the title......"

Edward Witten pondered for a moment and then said, "As you just said, it contains a new direction in physics after the discovery of gravitons. ”

"Okay, then it's decided, I'll have people hang it on the official website when I get back." Xu Dajiang said with a smile.

As he was talking, Li Jiangao's phone rang suddenly, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and said to the two with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'll go out to answer the phone first." ”

After speaking, Li Jiangao walked out of the office, glanced at Qiao Ze, who was still buried in his head and didn't know what he was busy with, and walked to the corridor outside before answering the phone.

"Okay, you're going to get married, and you're still hiding it from us. How? Reluctant to invite us old fellows to a glass of wine? ”

"Academician Zhang, what you said. The main reason is that I am afraid that everyone will be too busy with work. ”

"No matter how busy I am, I have to drink a glass of wine, I'm waiting for you to send me an invitation." The electronic version is fine, we old guys are very open-minded. ”

"This ...... Okay, I'll send it to you later. ”

"Well, there's Lao Sheng's. It's not me saying you, how can you do such a big thing secretly. If it weren't for the fact that there was a Xu Dajiang in your school, we would still be in the dark. Okay, aside, you're definitely busy right now. But you better prepare more, many old friends hear that you are married, and they are planning to go and ask for a glass of wine. Hang up first. ”

Hearing this, Li Jiangao subconsciously glanced at the direction of Qiao Ze's office, and his heart was mixed......

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Li Jiangao was about to go back to Qiao Ze's office, when he heard Xu Dajiang's hearty voice coming from inside: "Qiao Ze, I'm done talking to Professor Witten, so I won't bother you to do research, let's go first." ”

"Hmm."

So he paused, and after a while, he saw Xu Dajiang walking out with a radiant face, saw him standing at the door, and asked casually: "Jiangao, who is looking for you?" ”

"Academician Zhang of the Institute of Optoelectronics."

"Oh? Academician Zhang, what are they looking for you? ”

"I said that you told them about my marriage, and I wanted to ask for a cup of wine."

Xu Dajiang was stunned, then he also looked back at Qiao Ze's office, smiled, patted Li Jiangao on the shoulder and said, "Haha, I said why is Xiao Su not here today?" Jiangao, I'll just say it. You can't keep a low profile in your life. ”

Li Jiangao shook his head and smiled bitterly. I didn't bother to say hello to Qiao Ze anymore, anyway, the two often meet, and it's embarrassing to say hello in this situation today.

simply followed Xu Dajiang in the direction of the stairs.

"Actually, you don't have to feel embarrassed, really, Li Jiangao, there are some things that I have always been difficult to tell you, so I just take this opportunity to talk to you clearly."

As soon as he came down the stairs, Li Jiangao heard Xu Dajiang's serious voice ringing in his ears, and he turned his head to look at Dean Xu beside him in some surprise, and suddenly found that Xu Dajiang was unprecedentedly serious.

So he humbly said, "Oh? You say. ”

Xu Dajiang didn't speak immediately, as if he was brewing words, and after the two walked silently to the second floor, Xu Dajiang said with emotion: "Qiao Ze's situation is very special, simply put, he is too powerful. If you just engage in theoretical research, you will be a great scientist like Newton in the future.

But now he has in his hands advanced artificial intelligence technology such as Doudou, as well as the wisdom crystallization of reverse material model, which is almost like an artifact of national fortune. The most important thing is that he's only twenty years old, and you know what that means? ”

Li Jiangao frowned and said, "Need guidance and protection?" ”

Xu Dajiang smiled and said, "Do you still need to say this?" How protective is this institute, you don't know in your heart? Don't look at that Captain Lu stunned, maybe his level is higher than me. ”

"Oh? So what do you mean? Li Jiangao hurriedly asked.

"He needs weakness." Xu Dajiang said word by word.

Li Jiangao was at a loss.

He is really different from Xu Dajiang, and almost all of his journey has been learning.

After graduating from university, he studied for graduate school and a doctorate, and then signed a 3+3 agreement to enter Xilin University of Technology, and was successfully rated as an associate professor, and then stayed here.

"If Qiao Ze had to make you an academician before, including in order to let you wear the hat of Jieqing to apply to become a member of the expert group of the Natural Science Foundation, there are still people who are resistant, then after the material model is announced, Qiao Ze is asking for something.

The more outrageous the requirements, the better, and the more difficult it is, the better! Only by doing so can we show that we value and tolerate him. So don't talk about an academician, it's best that Qiao Ze's affection for you will make him offer to send you to a higher position. ”

Xu Dajiang said seriously.

This sentence has been said clearly enough, and Li Jiangao suddenly realized.

There are no real stupid people here, just because they never thought in a certain direction.

In fact, the reason is very simple, when you have something to ask for someone, this person is a saint, and if you don't get into that kind of oil, it will indeed be annoying.

Similarly, if you look at it from a higher perspective, a big guy who does his own thing and has no ties is obviously more difficult to deal with than a person who has a family and a mouth and has emotional ties.

"Look at it, one of the people who can have the greatest influence on Qiao Ze now is his mother, one is you, and the other is Xiao Su. Do you know how much the school wants to give Lu Xiuxiu up now? This is why Lu Xiuxiu has been resigning, otherwise several idle positions with high power and low power have been prepared, and it will become a task soon.

As for Xiao Su, he is still a student, and nothing is easy to arrange. Look where she is now, people don't have good food and drink. The Mathematical Society also awarded the title of Honorary Fellow, although it is useless, but when do you think it has been given to students? And look at that Su Lixing, is he thriving in Xilin now?

This year's outstanding entrepreneur must have his name. And it's going to be even better. The only problem is that people are very independent in their business.

So now the most convenient arrangement and the easiest to control is you. It is a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and it is too one-sided to always hold the idea that you can't take too much advantage of students. If you are given any treatment, you will bear it, and it will be over as Qiao Ze's weakness honestly. ”

Li Jiangao nodded silently.

He's still too young to think things are as far-reaching as these older guys.

"Dean Xu, then do you say Qiao Ze knows this?"

Xu Dajiang pursed his lips and said, "Qiao Ze...... What can't he see clearly? He was like Spiegel in his heart, he just didn't bother to say it. So you see, he never makes really excessive demands. To express dissatisfaction is to mean something.

And guess why the first thing Qiao Ze did after taking leave was to run to the Leap Group, get Doudou's body, and snatch the control of the Institute of Data Research by the way? Are those beans really swaying around every day?

There is also an adaptive unmanned transport vehicle like Doudou that has begun mass production, but it is not equipped with a system, and it is assembled and stored in the warehouse. I'm telling you, there's a lot going on here. There are some things that you can't think about. José is now a national treasure, you know, to use an inappropriate analogy, you are like a national treasure breeder...... Hehe......"

Speaking of which, Xu Dajiang probably thought that this analogy was too outrageous, and he giggled there.

After laughing enough, he continued: "Anyway, you don't have anything to say in your life. As long as Qiao Ze stays here, you will be as stable as Mount Tai. Let me put it this way, you just went to blow up our school administration building today, as long as no one was hurt, Lao Chen had to find an excuse to blow up the new building and cover up the past for you. Really, if I were you, I would walk sideways from the west gate of the school to the east gate every day! ”

After saying this, the two of them had already walked out of the courtyard, Xu Dajiang ignored Li Jiangao, who was deep in thought, patted Director Li's shoulder, and finally said pointedly: "Jiangao, listen to me, you can't be too low-key and honest in your current position, be generous, it's okay." But you don't have to learn about success, that's personal essence, if you learn him...... That's a big trouble, and I can ride on Principal Chen's head in the future...... Ha ha! ”

He can say these words from the bottom of his heart, this is already treating Li Jiangao as a nephew and nephew, and he has done it to the extreme.

As for whether Li Jiangao thinks like this, how to go in the future, if he still wants to get involved, it will be overstepping.

In Xu Dajiang's opinion, Li Jiangao is good at everything, but he is too honest.

But then again, if Li Jiangao was not this kind of sincere and sincere character, a rational person like Qiao Ze would most likely not look at Li Jiangao differently. It can only be said that there is a fixed number of drinks and pecks.

As for Li Jiangao......

I probably only feel that the three views have been subverted again.

Relationships are still too complicated.

Sure enough, Qiao Ze is smart, just stay in the Institute of Mathematics, ignore everything, and only discuss academics with others, which can probably avoid 90% of the troubles in this world, right?

Thinking of these messy things, he suddenly envied Qiao Ze, as long as he closed the door, he could keep all the out of the door. Happiness is happiness when you can focus 100% on your field of interest, right?

After being stunned for a long time, Li Jiangao shook his head and walked towards his office.

He admits that Xu Dajiang's words may be very reasonable, but how can a person's character be so easy to change?

As for the success of the metaphor?

He didn't have the eloquence and the ability to read words and feelings.

But if Qiao Ze was willing, he would probably be able to learn a lot like that, right?

……

José certainly wouldn't be interested in these things.

In the past few days, Su Mucheng's schedule is very full, or Xiao Su has a lot of fun after letting go of himself.

Especially after Su knew that Edward Witten needed to borrow the office during this time, he had a perfect excuse.

If she stays in the office with Qiao Ze every day as before, it will affect the discussion of academic issues between the two, and then it may affect the development process of human civilization, so this week she simply took on the mission of helping Uncle Li publicize and went to play with the task.

Raise the reason for going out to play to this height, and all mankind must thank Xiao Su for his dedication.

To be reasonable, with this kind of awareness, whoever comes has to pick up a thumbs up and praise Xiao Su for really understanding the overall situation, having a height, knowing how to pay, and being a model of the times.

Naturally, Qiao Ze did not object.

While he had little interest in wandering around, José didn't think it was wrong to like it.

But then again, Su Mucheng's absence could indeed make Edward Witten a lot more relaxed.

To be honest, when he learned that another location in Qiao Ze's office was used by Qiao Ze's girlfriend for self-study, it really made this respected old scholar a little uncomfortable. There are only two people who can make him feel a lot more comfortable.

Edward Witten's energy is still very strong.

Most of the time, I sit quietly and read papers, and I really have to thank the artificial intelligence translation tool, which greatly lowers the reading threshold caused by the language barrier.

But there will definitely be places where the translation is not intended.

If this can be translated into English without hindrance, probably Qiao Ze will not be arrogant enough not to write English papers.

There were a lot of defining things involved, and Qiao Ze didn't bother to spend that brain cell.

At this time, the benefits of being able to cross the ocean and run thousands of miles are revealed.

José was in sight, and Edward Witten could always find a time to meet José face to face.

Whether it's between meals or going for a walk after a meal, Edward Witten can ask about the obscure concepts of his dissertation, and he can also explore the understanding of the microcosm by the way, and occasionally lead to his M theory.

In fact, for mathematics, the m-theory of 11-dimensional space is proposed, and its mathematical structure is also highly abstract and based on an extremely complex mathematical structure. Whether it is 11-dimensional space, or the dynamics of superchord calcaneal membranes, or the duality of calcanical membrane spaces between different theories, and non-perturbation techniques......

If you want to fully understand M-theory, you won't even be able to get to the edge without studying those complex maths in depth.

This is probably why Edward Witten won the Fields Medal even though he was a physicist.

The contributions of physics are too cutting-edge and advanced to be verified by experiments for the time being, but the contributions in mathematics are obvious to all.

The work of this bigwig blurs the boundaries between mathematics and physics, and even creatively proposes the use of physics to solve mathematical problems, such as using quantum field theory to explain some topological invariants in mathematics.

It's definitely a completely new approach to researching new spaces.

Including Qiao Ze when constructing the supercoil coordinate system, he actually used some methods proposed by Edward Witten.

For example, both the m theory and the supercoil coordinate system proposed by Qiao Ze are closely dependent on supersymmetry.

The difference is that the supersymmetry in the m-theory is a symmetry that connects the boson and the fermion, while in the supercoil coordinate system it is more complex.

Although it can also be understood as a symmetry between bosons and fermions, it is not possible to extend it to the supercoil coordinate system. Each boson has a corresponding fermion partner, and vice versa, and they are connected to each other by supersymmetric transformations.

Joser also borrowed directly from the concept of hyperspace, using a space that included additional anti-easy coordinates. In the supercoil coordinate system, a set of superfields are introduced, which are functions of hyperspatial coordinates, which can describe bosons and fermions at the same time, and through this rule, the Bose superfield and Fermi superfields are converted.

Therefore, the dialogue between the two can be regarded as the handover and wisdom collision between the new generation and the old generation.

The former has a young mind and a quick mind, while the latter has a lot of experience.

This also makes the discussion between the two about the microcosm of the world more and more interesting.

In particular, it is aimed at the discussion of new physics at the Planck scale.

Edward Witten hoped to convince José to accept his m-theory, but José thought it was too early to describe the microcosm in terms of the vibrations of one-dimensional strings.

Fortunately, after reading Qiao Ze's paper, there is one thing that the two can agree on, that is, if human beings can really achieve gravitational control and manipulation, it must be on the Planck scale.

It is impossible for the experiment to be inconclusive for the time being, but rigorous mathematical proof proves that it is on this scale......

Anyway, Edward Witten is having a good time these days.

Except for Xu Dajiang and Li Jiangao who came to visit on the first day, no one came to disturb him again, which even made him feel happy.

Even though he had to answer several phone calls from the Institute for Advanced Study every day, he still chose to read the paper thoroughly before going back.

However, behind Edward Witten's comfort is the pressure of many people.

Xu Dajiang will definitely not care so much.

The news that Edward Witten will hold a special lecture at the Xilin School of Mathematics on Friday has long been announced on the official website. The news that this big guy was at the Xilin Institute of Mathematics had already spread at this time, and there were many people who wanted to visit from this source, but they were all honestly stopped by Lu Bei.

You can't make a mistake twice on the same issue, right?!
