I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 627 Going abroad for an academic exchange visit?

Of course, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were not as excited as Deng Zhaoliang for their papers to be published in PRL, the top journal in the international physics community—they had already published enough papers in the four top journals in the mathematics world.

But they were very happy to know that the paper won the honors of "Editor's Recommendation" and "Highlight Paper" and received affirmative evaluation from industry experts.

After all, this is the first time the two of them have published a paper in a top journal in the physics world, so they have to get such recognition.

On the way Qin Ke drove to the nursing home, Ning Qingyun enthusiastically planned the topics that the two of them planned to study together in the new year.

Except for her master's degree and doctoral dissertation in mathematics, Ning Qingyun almost never thought of studying any topic alone. What she likes most is like now, two people work together hand in hand, overcome each problem together, See the most beautiful scenery in the scientific research world.

It has nothing to do with fame and wealth, but for common interests, common goals, and a common future.

"Mathematically, we can continue to study the existence of smooth solutions to NS equations. In terms of physics, we will continue to participate in the joint project of the turbulent flow group and quantum topology calculation. In biology, we will conduct theoretical research on the cultivation of a new perfect version of desert sweet potatoes through computational seed science. ..."

A girl with a single ponytail sat in the back row, muttering softly.

As for the big data analysis and research of the abnormal climate in the previous year, because it was the first time to come into contact with such an exaggerated amount of data, and it involved fluid mechanics, climatology, geography, environmental science and other disciplines at the same time, the progress of the two was slower than expected. No big progress has been made yet.

Especially Ning Qingyun felt that his research on NS equations was not deep enough, and it was difficult to manage such a super-large complex analysis topic. He had discussed with Qin Ke before the Chinese New Year, and planned to suspend this topic for a while, and later Study again.

Qin Ke also wanted to put his mind on computational seed science, and planned to complete the system tasks of desert sweet potato and computational seed science first. The big data analysis research topic of abnormal climate was just an interest, so he readily agreed.

So at this time Ning Qingyun did not mention this "abnormal climate data analysis research topic".

"With an article from a top international journal, Mr. Jiang will inform us to prepare for the defense of the master's degree after returning to school." Qin Ke said with a relaxed smile while driving.

In fact, being able to publish a paper on PRL is at least qualified to be an associate professor in the physics department. If you are in a university that is not 985 or 211, it is also possible to be a full professor of physics.

However, Jiang Weixian has always been strict with these two close disciples. A joint authorship in an international top journal can only be exchanged for the qualification to defend a master's degree.

Qin Xiaoke, who sat next to Ning Qingyun and went to the nursing home to play together, asked curiously: "Brother, will you and sister Ning graduate this year?"

"Not necessarily graduating this year, but we originally planned to complete the courses in the Department of Physics within two years, and we will definitely get a Ph.D. in physics by the middle of next year at the latest."

Qin Xiaoke murmured slightly: "I haven't even started the college entrance examination yet, and you all graduated with a Ph. "

"It's as if you can be admitted to any art academy you want." Qin Ke slapped unceremoniously: "How is your cultural performance? I heard Xiaowen said that you took the final exam last semester." Only No.40 in the class?"

Qin Xiaoke muttered: "...the Central Academy of Sciences in the capital should be barely passable."

Qin Xiaoke usually spends a lot of time and energy on painting, and naturally spends less energy on cultural classes. She is not a genius with great learning talent, and she can be ranked No. 50 among the more than 40 people in the class. The name is pretty good.

Oh, by the way, she chose the science class... Is it unexpected or surprising?

Qin Ke sighed: "Okay, I should have graduated half a year before your college entrance examination. I think I will have time to teach you homework alone."

Qin Xiaoke's eyes lit up: "Yeah! Long live my brother! I knew you were the best person in the world to me! Of course, so is Sister Ning, tied for the best!"

Ning Qingyun rubbed Qin Xiaoke's silky hair. The little girl is now imitating Ning Qingyun in her dress and hairstyle, making them sit together like real sisters: "Xiaoke, the last time you participated in the national youth painting Did you win the special prize in the competition?"

Qin Ke looked at his sister in surprise through the rearview mirror: "Special prize? So powerful?"

"Only the sketch group won the special prize, and the color group only won the first prize." Qin Xiaoke sighed, his tone was very dissatisfied, but "Praise me, praise me" was clearly written on his small face.

Ning Qingyun couldn't help hugging Qin Xiaoke: "Xiao Ke is really powerful and cute."

"hey-hey."

Qin Ke didn't expect his younger sister to be so talented in art. She had only formally studied painting for a year and a half. Before that, she was all self-taught, but she was able to stand out among the participating students all over the country and win the special prize. This is really remarkable.

Thinking that he didn't seem to care enough about his sister for more than a year, and didn't know that she had improved so fast, Qin Ke apologized slightly: "Xiao Ke, you still have to go to the 'Gome' (Xiaguo Academy of Fine Arts) or 'Gome' in the capital. Central America' (Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts). The grade of Enzhou Academy of Fine Arts is still far behind."

Qin Xiaoke hesitated and said, "Brother, do you and Sister Ning stay in the capital or Yuanzhou after graduation? I don't want to stay in the capital alone to study, far away from home and have no relatives..."

"Your sister Ning and I should run between the capital and Yuanzhou. After graduation, we will officially teach as professors in Qingmu and Yanda, but Yuanzhou will also build a research laboratory or something."

Qin Ke had long thought about going back to Yuanzhou to build a research institute and laboratory. The province, the city, and the city had expressed such an invitation openly and secretly, expressing that they would give as much preference as possible in terms of policies and talents.And the most important thing is that parents are here, grandpa is here, and Ning Qingyun's grandparents are also here, Qin Ke feels that he should come back more often to accompany his relatives.

Especially Ning Qingyun's grandparents are getting older, and their physical foundation is relatively poor. Even if they persist in practicing the Oriental Yuanyuan Method and supplemented with diet therapy, they can prolong their life by at most ten or eight years. once.

Qin Ke didn't want Ning Qingyun to leave any regrets in terms of family relationship, such as the two old people not being by his side when they passed away.

He also has an idea in his heart, that is, to marry Ning Qingyun next year, and to have a baby early so that Ning Qingyun's grandparents can hold their grandson for a few years, maybe they will have a grandson. Extend life for a couple of years.

So he estimated that after graduation, the two would spend half the time in the capital and half in Yuanzhou.

"Then... I will work hard with the goal of the two major art academies in the capital! Let's keep the Central Academy safe!" Qin Xiaoke clenched his fists.

As long as many professional cultural courses of Central America have passed the minimum control line, they are admitted according to the results of the art school examination, while most majors of "Gome" are admitted according to the comprehensive results of the art school examination and cultural courses. It will undoubtedly be more difficult for Qin Xiaoke bigger.

The three of them were chatting while hurrying on the road, and the time on the road was not boring at all.Qin Ke felt that he had neglected his sister for more than a year, and tried to take this opportunity to learn more about Qin Xiaoke's study.

After arriving at the nursing home, the three spent a few days of leisure time with their grandfather Ning Jingguang and grandmother Chu Mimei.

Compared with Ning Qingyun, who is quiet and introverted, Qin Xiaoke, who is also a house girl, is much more lively and funny. She plays cute and coquettish in various ways, making the two old people laugh endlessly. Even Qin Ke can't help sighing, girls There is an advantage in this regard.

On this day, the three of Qin Ke pushed the wheelchairs of Ning Jingguang and Chu Mimei to the yard to bask in the sun.

This year’s Spring Festival is earlier than in previous years. Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Snow can still be seen on the hills around the nursing home. However, the courtyard of the nursing home is closed, a bit like a glass greenhouse, with heating supply, so it is not afraid of the cold outside. The north wind, the sun is shining at this time, adding a kind of warmth and warmth.

Both Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun enjoyed the tranquility and relaxation, and hadn't touched much about scientific research for three consecutive days.

The topic chatted and chatted to the "Spring Festival Gala".Ning Jingguang smiled and said, "Qin Ke, I heard that this year's Spring Festival Gala invited you two to be guests at the scene?"

The Spring Festival Gala is a New Year's Eve gala that attracts national attention. People generally pay more attention to the star guests performing, but they don't notice that the real heavyweights are actually sitting in the front row of the audience.

In the academic and scientific research circles, often only the respected old scientists and scholars, or the Mesozoic with outstanding performance can win such honors.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who won the Fields Medal and the first prize of the National Natural Science Award, naturally have such enviable qualifications.

Qin Ke said unexpectedly: "Grandpa actually heard about this?"

"Academician Wen Yuanping, vice president of the Xia Ke Academy, mentioned it when he called to pay New Year's greetings, and said that you both declined?"

Qin Ke nodded and said with a smile: "I can't sit still. It's a bit uncomfortable to stay in such a place for four hours. It's not an academic report. I'm not very interested in these performances."

Qin Ke hid a part of his words and didn't say anything. It's not that he hasn't been on TV, and it's not that he hasn't stood on the stage that the whole world pays attention to. Compared with staying in the guest seats of the Spring Festival Gala for four hours, Qin Ke still wants to stay on New Year's Eve. Have a reunion dinner at home.

Just considering that the father-in-law-to-be and mother-in-law haven't come back for a reunion for many years, it's hard for him to say this to arouse the sadness of the two old people and Ning Qingyun.

The topic quickly turned to "former residence" and "cultural relics". Grandma Chu Mimei said softly, "Yun'er, your grandfather and I settled this matter without consulting you. You won't be angry, will you?"

Ning Qingyun hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I was just a little surprised when I returned home."

"At that time, you two had just returned to China, and you were so busy that you almost didn't have time to sleep. When the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics Protection called, after discussing with your grandfather, I decided not to bother you two, and settled the matter directly." Mi Mei stretched out her hand and stroked her granddaughter's hair, her eyes were filled with unconcealable love:

"It's the home you lived in from childhood to teenage years. Your grandfather and I can't move back now. It's not good to leave it abandoned for a long time. The Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Bureau is very sincere and will carefully maintain the house every year. After it is designated as a provincial cultural relic, they will always do things more diligently than we find people outside. Me and your grandfather... I hope that every time you go home, you can see that the house is in good condition, and it will not be dilapidated and dusty. I also hope that When your parents come back, they can find a vaguely familiar home."

"Grandma..." Ning Qingyun looked at grandma's thin face and silver hair, and her eyes turned red.

How could she fail to hear the kindness and the trace of regret in grandma's words?

I have not had my parents to accompany me all these years, and my grandparents also have no sons and daughters-in-law to fulfill their filial piety in front of them.For the elderly, probably this loneliness and regret are even stronger.

She is still young, even if her parents will come back in a few years, and they still have decades to spend together, but the grandparents who are nearly seventy years old may not see their son and daughter-in-law a few times.

At this moment, as sensible as Ning Qingyun, he could no longer control the grievance and resentment towards his parents.

No matter how busy you are and how great your work is, don’t you even have time to come back to see your grandparents during the Spring Festival?

Seeing Ning Qingyun's thoughts, Chu Mimei pulled her to her side, and said lovingly: "Your parents called on New Year's Eve and said that they would come back in two years at the earliest for a family reunion. Thank you for what you two have achieved. They are very satisfied and proud of their achievements, but they also feel ashamed that they have missed the growth and success that accompanied you over the years. Yuner, the research your parents are doing is very important, and it is related to the lives and deaths of countless people. I hope Don't blame them for not being able to go home."

Qin Xiaoke asked curiously: "Grandpa, grandma, what kind of research are uncles and aunts doing?"

Her mind was relatively simple, and she didn't know what was kept secret, so she asked out of curiosity.

Ning Jingguang shook his head: "We don't know either, we only know that it is very important, and it is one of the most important researches in the country. Jun'er, you have been able to go abroad to participate in competitions, do academic exchanges, and receive awards these years, in fact, it is because of your parents It has something to do with never showing up in society and not attracting much attention. Once their identities attract international attention, it will be difficult for you to go abroad safely. This is one of the reasons why they have not come back in recent years."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun couldn't help but look at each other, they could naturally hear the meaning of Ning Jingguang's words.

The research of Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu is very important to the country. Once their identities are exposed, Ning Qingyun, as their only child, is likely to be targeted and become an important bargaining chip to threaten them, and the risk of going abroad will also increase greatly.

Taking these factors into consideration, the country will not easily agree to approve Ning Qingyun's going abroad.

Probably feeling that the topic was a bit heavy, Ning Jingguang changed the subject: "Qin Ke, when are you going back to the capital? While it's still during the Spring Festival, go to the elders who have been friends with the Ning family for generations as recorded in the pamphlet. Walking away, there is only good and no harm for your future."

The connections accumulated by the Ning family in the academic world for hundreds of years are priceless treasures. Ning Jingguang really hopes that the younger generation like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun can fully inherit them and continue to consolidate them.

Qin Ke squeezed Ning Qingyun's little hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Ning Qingyun and I have already paid New Year's greetings to the elders by phone or text message. As for visiting, we can go back to the capital after the year. It doesn't have to be It must be crowded during the Spring Festival, and these elders are also busy during the Spring Festival.”

He thought that he should try his best to let Ning Qingyun spend more time with these two respectable and amiable old people.

After staying in the nursing home for more than a week, after the Lantern Festival, Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke to leave.

After sending his younger sister Qin Xiaoke home, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun met up with their assistant Fang Yongtang, then flew back to the capital, and began to visit Teacher Jiang Wei, Teacher Deng Hongguo, Senior Brother Xu Qingyan, President of the Mathematics Society Hao Jianchang and other acquaintances and elders, as well as visiting An old friend of the Ning family.

Originally, I wanted to visit Uncle Yang and Uncle Chen, but unfortunately they were on a business trip to attend an important meeting, and they would not be in the capital for half a month, so Qin Ke sent a message, stating that he would visit Yunyun after the two uncles returned to Beijing .

After all this was done, it was less than two days before Valentine's Day on February 2th and Ning Qingyun's 14st birthday.

The school has also officially started, but before Ning Qingyun was ready to return to the laboratory, Qin Ke smiled and said: "Jun'er, pack your luggage, we are going to go abroad."

"Going abroad?" Ning Qingyun was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"In Japan, the University of Tokyo has been inviting us to go on academic visits and exchanges. I agreed years ago. I went for a week. It happened to be a trip abroad. The school also helped to complete all the procedures for the visits and exchanges abroad. We carried our bags directly. Just go to the airport and take an international flight."

"Academic visit?" Ning Qingyun had never heard of this matter, and Qin Ke had never been very interested in going to Japan in his impression. Seeing Qin Ke's wicked smile at this time, he thought that his birthday was approaching, the girl I suddenly realized, could it be related to my birthday?
　In the blink of an eye, the first day of the Lunar New Year is here, and Lao Mo is here to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year!In good health!All the best!

　　I hope that I can continue to be with you on the road of writing in the new year!

　　PS: I have returned to my hometown these days, and I can only use my mobile phone to code, plus I have to leave relatives, attend class reunions, etc., the update speed will be slower, but I will try my best to ensure continuous updates.Hope to understand!
