I really just want to be a scholar

Qin Ke hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, but we have caused trouble for Sister Gan."

"Brother Qin Ke, let's stop being polite. Manting said that you often help him in school. If you really want to be polite, I have to thank you for taking care of my boyfriend." Gan Peixuan's gentle personality is straightforward, very Can attract the favor of others.

When she saw Ning Qingyun, her eyes lit up even more: "Sister Qingyun, you look even better than the photos and videos on the Internet!"

Ning Qingjun blushed from the praise, and whispered: "Sister Gan, you are also beautiful."

Gan Peixuan smiled and said: "I can't, let alone compare with you, Man Ting looks better than me in women's clothes."

Her humorous self-deprecation immediately aroused everyone's laughter, and also shortened the distance between the two who had just met and felt a little strange.

Qin Ke nodded secretly. This Gan Peixuan has a very good personality, and she is quite mature in dealing with people. She is at least two levels higher than Hua Manting. I don’t know who ate who when Xiao Hua bravely ventured into the United States last time, maybe It was Xiao Hua who got into the cover by herself.

However, Gan Peixuan couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes when she mentioned her boyfriend Hua Manting, and the friends around her didn't show any strange looks. Obviously, she didn't hide her relationship with Hua Manting from others, which made Qin Ke feel more comfortable up.

Hua Manting is his good friend, and Qin Ke still hopes that Xiao Hua can find a happy love, although this sister Gan is four years older than Xiao Hua, which is a typical sibling relationship.

Gan Peixuan introduced the friends present to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

These international students are both male and female, and they are basically graduate students who are about the same age as Gan Peixuan. Most of their majors are in physics, and some are in chemistry.

Seeing Qin and Ke, apart from being surprised by their youth and outstanding appearance, these high-achieving students were able to get along with each other very quickly, neither putting on airs nor being too enthusiastic to please, showing good knowledge and cultivation, There is no dandy temperament that is common to the "second generation".

Everyone's age difference is within four or five years, and they met compatriots in other places. Under Qin Ke's deliberate friendship, they quickly became acquainted.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun toured Stanford University accompanied by everyone, while listening to their complaints about the tutoring system in the United States.

The tutors in the United States are very powerful, and they are called "bosses". If you want to expel a graduate student, you only need to make a phone call to the school, and you can remove the student from the school without even going through paper approval.

Therefore, international students respect and fear their tutors.

When I was admitted to Stanford University, some well-known professors had full enrollment quotas and had to be assigned tutors by the school. This situation was often the worst, because there was no two-way selection, and the tutors were not familiar with these students assigned by the school, let alone I will value it, and only arrange some of the hardest and most tiring jobs.

Gan Peixuan is the worst case of this kind.

In fact, she was quite surprised at the beginning, because her supervisor, Professor Werner Brave, is quite famous in the physics circles in the United States, but he has not recruited graduate students for several years, and only took doctoral students. It was not until last year that he decided to recruit one Many students did not know the news and missed the opportunity to apply for his postgraduate examination, and Gan Peixuan was lucky to become a postgraduate student of Professor Brave because of school adjustments, and followed him in theoretical physics research.

However, Gan Peixuan soon found out that Professor Breve actually recruited twelve graduate students this year, several of whom were promising candidates during his undergraduate days. This time, he re-enrolled for those good candidates, so what's the matter? Important projects will give priority to those good seedlings, while other students such as Gan Peixuan will also do research on the project, but they will only be exposed to the lowest level and repetitive experiments.

Professor Brave's main focus is "optical and high-precision electronic and magnetic measurements". In order to improve observation methods and measurement accuracy, an experiment often needs to be repeated tens of thousands of times. Gan Peixuan and others are doing this kind of repeated "trial and error" work , when a certain result is produced, Professor Brave will personally lead a few students he is optimistic about to carry out key experiments, while Gan Peixuan and others can only observe from the sidelines...

However, Gan Peixuan did not dare to protest or complain even after doing simple and repeated experiments. After all, it would be too wrong to annoy the tutor and be dismissed as a thorn in the side of disobedience.In the United States, after being expelled by a mentor, basically there will be no other mentors to take him in, so he can only return to the country in despair.

And Gan Peixuan came to the United States to study abroad in order to make achievements and fight for the freedom of marriage from her family. At this time, one can imagine the depression in her heart.

In the past few days, it was also because of the heavy experimental tasks arranged by the instructor. She and a few classmates stayed up late every day to do the experiments. Yesterday, they couldn't find time to be tour guides for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun...

Gan Peixuan sighed: "Actually, I'm pretty good. I'm studying theoretical physics. I think I will have the opportunity to get in touch with some higher-level knowledge in the future. I heard that some international students study applied physics, and they should also be in the advanced direction. In the field of precision manufacturing, they are really tragic, unless they sign an employment contract with a designated company with harsh conditions and more than ten years, otherwise they don’t want to participate in important subjects, and even graduation will have to be delayed.”

Most of the rest of the international students also expressed some "acclimatization".

These international students should all come from big families in China, plus they have excellent grades and are used to being sought after. When they come here, they don't adapt to the Western social model and are excluded to a certain extent.

But there is one thing to say, the foreign education system, teaching mode, and teaching level are indeed better than those in China, which makes everyone very contradictory. In the end, they decided to survive these three years and get the graduation certificate and degree certificate from Stanford University.

As for whether to return to China for development in the future, it is unknown, only Gan Peixuan said that she will definitely return to China.

Everyone booed whether they wanted to go back to China and live together with their little boyfriend, and Gan Peixuan also generously admitted that yes, and half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun: "Brother Qin Ke, sister Qingyun, listen to everyone Ting said that you will definitely open a physics laboratory in the future, if I go back to China, will you take me in?"

Qin Ke said with a smile: "Qingyun and I do have plans to open a laboratory. Sister Gan, you will return to China in two years, right? Just help us set up the framework of the laboratory. Friends who are interested can also join."

Everyone half-truthfully expressed that they would seriously consider it, but now Qin Ke and his two have only achieved dazzling results in mathematics, and they are still unknown in physics. These high-achieving students are somewhat disapproving.

Only Shang Mingshu, an international student studying chemistry, has a strong background. He glanced thoughtfully at Chen Ming and other four people who seemed to be passersby and fellow travelers, and vaguely guessed something, so he exchanged with Qin Ke enthusiastically. He gave up his mobile phone number and email address, indicating that he would like to contact Yunyun more.

After visiting Stanford University, a world-renowned institution, everyone took Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to eat local food before waving goodbye.

Sitting in the car on the return trip, Ning Qingjun asked in a low voice, "Qin Xiaoke, Professor Brave is the winner of this year's Physics New Horizons Award, right?"

Qin Ke nodded: "It's him. I guess Sister Gan deliberately brought up this matter in front of us. Apart from complaining, she also has a certain intention in mind and hopes that we can help her."

Ning Qingyun is also a smart girl, she understood it after thinking about it, she couldn't help asking curiously: "She knows we know Professor Brave?"

"Whether you recognize her or not, she brought up a little more hope. People from famous families are different, and they know how to seize every opportunity." Qin Ke smiled. Although Gan Peixuan was a little cautious, but for the two of them The impression is really good:
"Since it's such a coincidence, Sister Gan is also our friend, we really can't just sit idly by and ignore her affairs."

Qin Ke and Professor Brave are really familiar with each other. They met and made friends when they first visited the Ames Research Center. Later, after winning the award together, they had several exchanges in the restaurant, and the relationship has entered a new level. .

So Qin Ke directly called Professor Brave, and after some pleasantries, he mentioned Gan Peixuan and asked him to take care of him.

Professor Brave was also very forthright, agreed immediately, and asked again: "By the way, Qin, you said last time that you will mainly develop in the direction of physics in the future. Do you have a clear direction?"

"My mentor is good at physical materials and fluid mechanics, and we should also develop in this direction."

"There is an opportunity to cooperate a lot."

Thinking of his great chip business, Qin Ke might have a certain degree of cooperation with Professor Brave in the future, so he chatted with him for a while before ending the call, and then gestured to Ning Qingyun for "it's done" .

Qin Ke didn't mention this matter to Gan Peixuan and Hua Manting, it was just a matter of effort for him, as the saying goes, don't expect to repay your kindness, and hope to repay your kindness, Qin Ke forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

What he thinks most about at this time is about chips. This trip to the United States, whether it is to visit the Google headquarters or the news from the overseas students such as Gan Peixuan, makes him understand the current difficulties faced by the chip industry chain in his motherland. a further understanding.

Time waits for me.

Qin Ke secretly made up his mind that he must complete the EDA project as soon as possible and get the rewards from the system, so that at least in terms of chip materials, the country can take a step ahead and no longer be controlled by others—you must know that the high-purity silicon substrate used to manufacture 14nm chips is now China has failed to achieve self-sufficiency in materials, let alone the new generation of "fin field effect transistor (FinEFT)" and "surround gate transistor (GAA)".

Qin Ke is determined to win the "new carbon crystal composite nanomaterial suitable for 1nm chips" rewarded by the system!
But as soon as Qin Ke returned to the hotel, he received an international long-distance call from China, and the caller turned out to be Uncle Chen, who was an educationist.

Uncle Chen was in a very good mood, he laughed before he said anything, and after a burst of hearty laughter, he congratulated Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun for winning the Science Breakthrough Award, and said with a smile: "Qin Ke, I know you and Xiao Ning were originally scheduled to I will return to China tomorrow night, but now the organization still has tasks for you, so you can postpone your return to China for another three days, can you?"
