When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

Chapter 292 Homecoming, someone is coming

Tangdu Jiaotong University.

Xu Songyao's office.

There were three people in the office at the moment, Xu Songyao, Zhang Yitang and Wang Donglai.

"Donglai, this is Professor Zhang's paper, take a look."

As Xu Songyao spoke, he handed a document to Wang Donglai.

Listening to Xu Songyao's words, Wang Dong glanced at Zhang Yitang. After all, this was Zhang Yitang's academic paper, so he had to pay attention to his opinion.

Zhang Yitang had no objection to this, so he smiled and said, "Professor Wang, this paper was written thanks to you. If it weren't for your guidance, I don't know how many years it would take me to truly prove this difficult problem."

"Professor Zhang, you are too polite. I have also read the paper you published in the Annals of Mathematics last year. It is of very good quality. Your academic achievements in the field of twin primes are already very good. Even without me, I believe you can make further progress."

Wang Donglai naturally knew the difficulty of twin prime numbers, and he also understood that without him, even if Zhang Yitang was given another ten years, he would not be able to make any further progress.

So what he said just now was just a polite remark.

The reason I say this is because Zhang Yitang was able to join Tangdu Jiaotong University, so this face must be given.

Zhang Yitang could also tell that Wang Donglai's words were just a polite remark and he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said nothing.

With Zhang Yitang's statement, Wang Donglai opened the paper and started reading.

The paper contains a lot of content, tens of thousands of words, and is a thick stack.

After all, it is a mathematical proof paper with a large amount of data.

If an ordinary person were to read this paper word for word, it would take more than an hour.

But if you want to understand it, it will take a long time.

However, in Wang Donglai's hands, it was like a comic book for a three-year-old child.

In the eyes of Zhang Yitang and Xu Songyao, Wang Donglai had no time to think at all and just turned the pages one after another.

If they didn't know Wang Donglai's academic achievements, and if they both knew Wang Donglai's temper, they would probably think that Wang Donglai was just doing it perfunctorily.

Ten minutes' time.

At this time, Wang Donglai deliberately slowed down his pace.

Closing the document in his hand, Wang Donglai smiled and said to Zhang Yitang, "Congratulations, Professor Zhang, you have solved the problem of twin prime numbers!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Donglai continued, evaluating the paper in his hand and said: "The quality of this paper is pretty good, there are no major problems, it will be approved if you submit it!"

After saying that, Wang Donglai put the paper back on the desk.

When Wang Dong said these two sentences, Xu Songyao and Zhang Yitang obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the two had previously determined that there was no problem with this paper, twin primes were indeed proved by Zhang Yitang.

However, now that they have received Wang Donglai's approval, the two of them can finally feel relieved.

Because in the subconscious of both of them, Wang Donglai is already a super expert in the field of mathematics.

The two of them could naturally feel their emotional changes, but they didn't care.

Xu Songyao was shocked because he did not major in mathematics, but now he is the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, and he hopes that Wang Donglai will become as powerful as possible, so naturally he has no other thoughts.

As for Zhang Yitang, he might have felt dissatisfied before returning to China, but in the face of Wang Donglai's mathematical achievements, he had to hold it in even if he was dissatisfied.

What's more, after returning to China and getting closer to Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang no longer had any other thoughts in his heart.

Zhang Yitang has seen many geniuses over the years.

However, this was the first time he had seen a genius like Wang Donglai.

Be it his photographic memory, his extremely sharp logical thinking ability, or any other performance, Zhang Yitang was shocked and envious.

It was after seeing Wang Donglai's performance that Zhang Yitang felt that he had found the reason why Wang Donglai was able to achieve such great academic achievements.

talent!

These two simple words represented a huge gap that Zhang Yitang could never catch up with.

In the eyes of others, Zhang Yitang is also a talented person, but he does not think he is talented. After meeting Wang Donglai, he became more convinced of this.

Only people like Wang Donglai can be considered true geniuses!

What is a genius? A person who is gifted with extraordinary abilities by God!

After proving twin primes, all kinds of thoughts emerged in Zhang Yitang's mind. In the end, he chose to publish the paper in "Mathematical Future" for many reasons.

But in the final analysis, there is only one.

That’s Wang Donglai!

"Mathematical Future" is a paper journal that Wang Donglai values. Even if it is just to win Wang Donglai's favor, it is worthwhile to publish one's paper here.

With this in mind, Zhang Yitang took action without hesitation.

I brought my thesis to Xu Songyao's office just to confirm this matter.

Although the main reason for doing this is because of Wang Donglai, Zhang Yitang is not stupid enough to submit his article directly.

We should also pay attention to the methods and ways of doing things.

The benefits of telling Xu Songyao about this matter and doing it in front of Xu Songyao are different.

Therefore, this scene appears at this moment.

"With Professor Wang's words, I finally feel relieved and can submit my paper with peace of mind!"

Zhang Yitang smiled and said this with relief.

Wang Donglai did not have any grudges at all and his evaluation was not high.

"Principal, I plan to submit this paper to the journal Mathematical Future founded by our school. Is that okay?"

Zhang Yitang didn't say anything to Wang Dong, but looked at Xu Songyao and asked.

Hearing Zhang Yitang's words, Xu Songyao's face flashed with surprise, but he quickly reacted, his smile became more intense, and he said, "Professor Zhang, if you are willing to submit your paper to the journal established by our school, I would naturally welcome it very much, but..."

Before Xu Songyao finished speaking, Zhang Yitang interrupted him and said, "President, I think some of Professor Wang's words are very good and correct. Our country has the largest population in the world. At the same time, it is also the only ancient civilization that has been passed down. It has a long history and culture. We need our own top academic journals and we need to have the academic status we deserve in the international academic community!"

“The name ‘Mathematical Future’ is very good. We truly represent the future of mathematics. A river is formed by the accumulation of small streams, and a journey of a thousand miles is formed by the accumulation of small steps. If you want to have a top international academic journal, the best time is fifty years ago and now. Although my academic ability is not as good as Professor Wang’s, I am willing to do my part!”

Zhang Yitang's words were righteous and passionate. Anyone who heard them would feel Zhang Yitang's deep patriotism and strong patriotic sentiments.

"Great! Our school is lucky that Professor Zhang has such awareness!"

"Okay, I've made the decision. Your paper, Professor Zhang, will be the main article in the next issue!" Xu Songyao slapped the table lightly and made the decision directly.

At this time, Wang Donglai also spoke.

"To be honest, I'm very happy that Professor Zhang has such awareness. It would be great if scholars and professors in our country could think like this!"

Wang Donglai said this with a sigh in his tone.

“Professor Wang, you are still so young. You can write papers for at least another 60 years. In 60 years, Mathematical Futures will definitely be the world’s top mathematics journal. I am very confident about this!”

Zhang Yitang said this to Wang Donglai with a serious face, and his words were full of confidence in Wang Donglai.

Wang Donglai did not refuse Zhang Yitang's words, but accepted them calmly and said, "You and I will definitely see this scene in our lifetime!"

Zhang Yitang was stunned and couldn't help but feel shocked by Wang Donglai's generosity.

When he mentioned sixty years just now, he had actually taken Wang Donglai's factor into consideration.

It is not easy to develop a top journal recognized by scholars around the world.

Money doesn't play a big role in this.

He needs a strong country to back him up, which is the most important prerequisite.

Just like the current top international journals, all appear in the world's powerful countries.

Especially the bald eagle, as the global overlord, its academic status is naturally needless to mention, and it has the largest number of top journals in the world.

Sixty years. This is the time Zhang Yitang believes that China will catch up with the bald eagle within sixty years, narrow the gap, and thus be able to cultivate an academic journal recognized by scholars around the world.

However, he did not expect that Wang Donglai would be so confident.

I saw this scene in my lifetime.

He was born in 1945 and is now 59 years old. Xu Songyao was born in 1955 and is now 49 years old.

In one’s lifetime, based on the average age, it is only about ten years.

Zhang Yitang subconsciously thought that it was impossible to cultivate a top journal in just over ten years.

But he did not question it out loud because Wang Donglai continued to say something.

"What is the most important thing for a journal? It is the papers, the high-quality papers. Mathematical Futures has no shortage of high-quality papers. At most, I will prove a difficult mathematical problem every time I publish an issue. I don't believe that I can't raise the impact factor by doing this."

"In the academic world, it all comes down to strength!"

Wang Donglai said this lightly, but the aura he revealed was extraordinary, full of confidence and extremely serious.

Zhang Yitang and Xu Songyao could see that Wang Donglai was serious and was really prepared to do this.

The two wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about Wang Donglai's previous academic achievements, they swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongue.

Proving a difficult mathematical problem in two months sounds fantastic and impossible.

But when it comes to Wang Donglai, it’s different.

They had a very good understanding of each other and were both full of confidence in Wang Donglai.

"I still have great faith in Professor Wang's ability, and I also believe that this day will come sooner rather than later!"

Zhang Yitang smiled and agreed, saying so.

……

The news of Zeng Qun and the boatman's arrival was also informed to Tangdu Jiaotong University in advance through formal channels.

The purpose of the two people coming here is also very obvious.

The reason why they chose not to notify Galaxy Technology was because they were familiar with Wang Donglai and knew that Wang Donglai spent more time in school rather than in Galaxy Technology.

After seeing Zhang Yitang off, Wang Donglai did not leave, but waited here for the boatman and Zeng Qun to arrive.

"Donglai, what is the current status of your company's research on lithium-sulfur batteries?"

"Of course, if it's inconvenient to tell me, you don't have to tell me. I'm just asking. If there's anything the school can do to help you, just ask!"

While waiting, Xu Songyao asked this question.

"At present, we have only verified that there is no problem with the research direction of hollow carbon spheres. It will take time to experiment with specific lithium-sulfur batteries, and finally explain it through data."

Wang Donglai did not hide anything and directly told the current situation.

The previous experiments only proved that the research direction of hollow carbon spheres was correct.

When doing experiments, I am never afraid of complexity; what I am afraid of is having no direction.

As long as you have a direction, at most you will just waste some time and energy to get the best result.

If you don't have a direction, you'll be like a headless fly, not knowing east, west, south or north.

After verifying that the direction of the hollow carbon sphere was correct, the next step was handed over to Lu Tu and others in the laboratory.

You just need to design the manufacturing process and find the right ratio to make the finished product and then test the data.

Only when all these are successful can we say that the research on lithium-sulfur batteries is successful.

Experiment is never a simple sentence, but requires multiple procedural steps of verification and testing.

Xu Songyao also understood this and nodded.

The two didn't wait long.

Zeng Qun and the boatman arrived.

The two of them didn't expect to meet each other. After a moment of silence, they shook hands and walked together.

"Mr. Zeng, you are a technical expert in this field. Now that you are here, it seems that hollow carbon balls are indeed effective!" The boatman took the initiative to speak and started chatting with Zeng Qun.

Zeng Qun did not express any dissatisfaction, and smiled and said: "There are many research directions for lithium-sulfur batteries, and hollow carbon spheres are just one direction. However, at present, hollow carbon spheres are the most promising."

"I originally thought that a foreign research institute would be the first to produce results, but I didn't expect that our people would be the first to produce breakthrough results."

Brother Boatman was able to lead the company to grow, so he naturally understood the technology. After hearing what Zeng Qun said, he said, "Professor Wang's two papers only proved that hollow carbon spheres solved the shuttle effect, and it cannot fully prove that the lithium-sulfur battery was successfully developed. With CATL's research strength, it should not be a big problem to replicate it, right?"

Zeng Qun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "We came here this time just to have a good chat with Professor Wang. After all, lithium-sulfur batteries play a huge role in the current energy industry, so we have to be cautious! Your company must think so too. It seems that you have been affected more seriously than us."

The boatman's smile faded and he said nothing more.

Seeing this, Zeng Qun stopped talking, and the two groups came to the reception room separately.
