After originally leaving the Lime Plant Breeding Laboratory, Qin Ke planned to take Ning Qingyun on a date for one night to relieve the fatigue after working for several days in a row. However, when Gan Peixuan called, the two of them were embarrassed to let everyone down.

After eating a stylish Western meal, I took assistant Fang Yongtang's car and went straight to the quantum computing laboratory.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun currently have four laboratories and research centers on hand. Not to mention the Liming New Energy and Dan Water Recycling Technology Research Center in Yuanzhou, which has not yet been officially opened. The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory has undertaken several

There is a national key project, and there is also a large independent project of national extreme weather analysis, which requires a lot of thought and energy; the Lime Plant Cultivation Laboratory has basically entered a virtuous circle, which is the most worry-free; and the Quantum Computing Laboratory has a lot of things

, but it will not bring too much work burden to Qin Ke and others.

This is naturally because after half a year of running in, Harold, Ling Shaotang, and Gan Peixuan of the Quantum Computing Laboratory have become very good team managers. The German researchers and the Xia researchers have been able to be in healthy competition and fully cooperate.

of excellent condition.

Several quantum mechanics researchers recruited from the Institute of Physics of Xia Ke Academy of Sciences were also successfully integrated into the team, further strengthening the team's research strength.

At present, in terms of comprehensive level, laboratory equipment and instruments, and advanced guiding theoretical ideas, Qingning Technology Quantum Computing Laboratory, which was only founded about half a year ago, is already among the top levels in the country.

After Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun came to the Quantum Computing Laboratory in the evening, they only had a brief meeting.

When they were abroad, they would deal with weekly reports and reply to emails every week. What they lacked was to go to the site to understand the situation in person. At this time, they walked around the quantum computing laboratory and communicated in meetings, so they could clearly grasp the progress and current situation, and can make timely decisions.

The experimental plan was fine-tuned.

The current goal of the Quantum Computing Laboratory is to develop "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 2" with better performance, lower cost, easier synthesis, and large-scale manufacturing. Compared with "Ling Ning Superconducting Material No. 1"

It is much more difficult, especially since Qin Ke plans to strengthen the application of graphene materials and create S-level knowledge for the future.

"Carbon Crystal Composite Nanomaterial" laid the foundation and finally developed a quantum chip material that can achieve hundreds of millions of qubit calculations.

This goal is very ambitious and very difficult. You must know that quantum chip materials have been developed for 20 to 30 years, but there have been no outstanding results to achieve large-scale commercialization. They basically only stay in the laboratory stage, or only individual customizations.

stage, as can be seen from this.

Therefore, Qin Ke is not in a hurry. It will be very good if he can develop a satisfactory "Lime Superconducting Material No. 2" within a year and a half.

Harold and Ling Shaotang were full of confidence. Their only worry was that the research would burn too many scriptures. If the experiments were done frequently, it would be easy to burn through millions of scriptures a month.

Qin Kehao said angrily: "I will give you 30 million study scriptures every month, and you can burn them as much as you can."

Now Lime operating system has basically occupied the market of Xia Kingdom, and has begun to spread to surrounding countries. Even though the domestic commercial license is very cheap, it cannot support the large number. Last month, it was the domestic desktop version, mobile version and server version.

Licensing revenue exceeded 300 million yuan, and foreign markets began to gain momentum and contributed more than 100 million yuan in revenue.

Qingning Technology has achieved a monthly income of over 500 million just by relying on its operating system. This is a very exaggerated amount. It is completely possible to achieve a global total revenue of 20 billion within ten years.

Moreover, for these revenues, except for the domestic commercial licensing of the desktop version, which needs to be managed by Qingning Technology itself, the remaining international commercial licensing of the desktop version, and the domestic and foreign commercial licensing of the mobile version and server version are all handled by "Long Tengtian Software Technology Co., Ltd."

, including pricing and market promotion, each commercial license is paid to Qing Ning Technology at a fixed price of 10 yuan per unit. This part of the income is a net profit at no cost to Qing Ning Technology.

Coupled with the income Qingning Technology obtains from seed patents, teaching materials, data models and other aspects, the abundant cash flow is enough to make most listed companies jealous and ashamed.

Once the "Lime Superconducting No. 2 Material" or even future quantum chip materials come out, it will be a magic weapon to attract money, and a market size of 100 billion is not just a dream.

So even though the quantum computing laboratory is very expensive, Qin Ke insists on investing tens of millions of dollars every month.

Qin Ke, Harold, Ling Shaotang and others were chatting here, while Gan Peixuan quietly pulled on Ning Qingyun's sleeve: "Academician Ning, your recruitment of Ph.D. students in physics will start on the 10th of next month, right?

"

She is not nervous until Qin Kening Qingyun recruits graduate students and doctoral students in April, and the topic of this topic on the Internet continues to increase. According to statistics released by Qingmu University ten days ago, currently

In the field of mathematics, more than 500,000 people have successfully registered for the postgraduate written examination and passed the document review, and more than 20,000 people have registered for the doctoral written examination. However, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun only recruited four graduate students each, and two

There are only twelve places for doctoral students! The situation in the physics direction is very similar.

The admission ratio of graduate students exceeds 1:5, and the admission ratio of doctoral students exceeds 1:5000, which has broken the lowest admission ratio in the history of the world. The fierce competition is staggering.

Even though Gan Peixuan was originally very confident, she heard that many international students and even foreign graduate students from famous foreign universities also came to Xia Guo to apply, which made her feel great competitive pressure.

"Yes, the deadline for postgraduate and doctoral students in mathematics is April 1st, and the deadline for physics is April 10th." Ning Qingyun saw that Gan Peixuan was a little uneasy, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said with a smile: "As long as you pass the written test, you will be interviewed later.

There will be no problem. With your level, as long as you perform normally and pass the written test, there will be no problem."

Ning Qingyun has discussed with Qin Ke that because there are too many applicants, in order to reduce the number of interviews, the questions in the final written test will be more difficult, and the requirements for students' science talent and comprehensive level will also be higher. It is estimated that students who will eventually pass the written test will

There will be no more than 200 people.

But Ning Qingyun knew Gan Peixuan's level very well, and this girl had a wealth of scientific research experience. As long as she spent some time preparing for the exam and performed normally during the exam, passing the written exam was almost certain.

Gan Peixuan nodded vigorously and whispered: "In the past two or three months, Man Ting and I have been reviewing every day to prepare for the exam, but Man Ting's confidence is insufficient. He lacks scientific research experience."

Ning Qingyun said with relief: "Graduate students do not have high requirements for scientific research experience, and Xiaohua has lived with Qin Ke for three years and often receives special guidance from Qin Ke, so there is no need to worry, just go all out and do your best."

."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have complete autonomy in recruiting students. They can even directly name people to become their students without going through a written test and interview.

But they did not exercise such rights, but insisted that everyone must pass the written examination before they can enter the interview. Only by passing the written examination and interview at the same time can they become their students.

The written test is the first threshold for selecting the best among the best. Even though the interview process for Ning Qingyun and Qin Ke will be more relaxed for some acquaintances, there will be no laxity in the written test, let alone revealing the questions in advance. This is the most basic professional ethics.

, it is also fair and equitable to all candidates. If they cannot even do this, how can they talk about reforming academic unhealthy tendencies?

Moreover, only when a carp leaps over the dragon gate can it turn into a golden dragon. Even Hua Manting, Jiang Zhenjie, and Li Xiangxue must go through such a process of hard competition. No one can succeed casually, and it is even less likely that they can succeed easily by relying on connections.

.

Naturally, Gan Peixuan didn't want to take the back door from Ning Qingyun, she just wanted to find some comfort and confidence. At this time, Ning Qingyun's encouragement gave her a strong fighting spirit again.

"Well, Man Ting and I will definitely rely on our own strength to legitimately become your two students, so that no one can find fault with us!" Gan Peixuan said in a low voice but firmly.

Ning Qingyun cast an encouraging look, and at the same time thought, are there countless students across the country who are flipping through the textbooks specified by her and Qin Ke page by page, preparing for the written examination and interview next month?

When she thought of this, she felt that the fairness and justice she and Qin Ke insisted on was very necessary.

…

Generally speaking, about a week after the two returned to China, all work and teaching were back in order, which also created good conditions for the two to take another week off to take wedding photos.

On March 25th, which was Sunday, Qin Ke had a great time playing basketball with his school basketball team buddies in the morning, then went to see a movie with Ning Qingyun at noon, had lunch, and then took the afternoon bus together.

The flight flew back to Yuanzhou, preparing to take the first set of domestic wedding photos.

After discussion, the couple decided that the domestic wedding photos should be taken in their most familiar hometown. In addition to the photography base in Yuanzhou, the scene also included the home where Ning Qingyun grew up and Qingning Private High School. For a girl,

All of them are very memorable scenes.

One is the environment in which I grew up, and the other is the place where I met and fell in love with Qin Ke, leaving countless beautiful memories.

The filming team was hired by the most popular principal Wen Jianzhao from Yuanzhou, which is among the best in Yuanzhou City.

In order to serve these two young academicians well, the shooting team is almost all elite. The boss personally leads the team, the best photographers, the best equipment, the best makeup artists, the best costumers... Twenty or thirty

A team of people sincerely serves Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun.

Qin Ke is not short of money, so he is naturally happy to accept such professional and meticulous services, so that his beloved girl can take wedding photos for the only time in her life without leaving any regrets.

The two went back to the high school campus to take pictures. They chose Tuesday's class time and arrived at school after putting on makeup to avoid disturbing the students' normal classes as much as possible.

Ning Qingyun put on exquisite makeup and wore a long white wedding dress, which suited her perfectly. The skirt fluttered in the wind, making her look more graceful and swaying. Her outstanding appearance and elegant temperament made Ning Qingyun...

Like a real princess, her whole body exudes dazzling light, and even the flowers in the flowerbed lower their petals in shame, not daring to compete with her.

Qin Ke was wearing a black dress, but the collar was unbuttoned, making him look a bit unruly. Coupled with his unique and ruffian yet handsome temperament, he also attracted the attention of girls, at least a few young people in charge of logistics and makeup.

The girls all blushed a little.

It was still quite cool at the end of March in Yuanzhou, but Qin Ke was in good physical condition. When taking photos, he simply took off his coat, held his arm, and stretched out his other hand for Ning Qingyun to hold.

Ning Qingyun's eyes bloomed with tenderness and sweetness, she stretched out her delicate hand, held Qin Ke's big hand shyly, and walked with him on the school road that she had walked several times in high school.

At that young and budding age, she was timid, nervous but brave and pulled Qin Ke away from the basketball court under the spotlight. Then the two of them held hands like this, walking on this somewhat ancient road, which is steeped in history.

On the school road, I walked through the sea of ​​people, and before I knew it, I arrived now, and together we entered the palace of marriage.

Although more than four years have passed, everything is still fresh in my mind, as if it happened yesterday.

The feeling at that time was enough to remember for a lifetime.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts connected, and the hands that were originally held together became a little tighter.

"Qin Xiaoke."

"Um?"

"When we get old, how about walking this school road together?"

"You don't have to wait until we get old. I will take you to walk this school road every autumn from now on." God knows how much Qin Ke likes this girl. This girl should be happy, beautiful and happy like this all her life.

Qin Ke squeezed the hand of the girl next to him, and felt a sense of tranquility and happiness in his heart. He only felt that there was nothing better than this life.

Winning the Fields Medal is incomparable, and winning the Nobel Prize is incomparable.

This is the feeling that only Ning Qingyun can give him, and all academic and scientific research results cannot be given to him.

"Yeah." Ning Qingyun smiled sweetly, imagining the future where the two of them would hold hands and grow old together, and somehow felt like crying.

Girls are always so emotional. They want to cry when they are sad, they want to cry when they are happy, and sometimes they want to cry when they are happy.

Qin Ke stopped and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Qin Ke's movements were so gentle, as if he were wiping the most precious treasure in the world.

Ning Qingyun lowered her head slightly shyly.

When the photographers looked at this scene, they suddenly felt that this pair of already extremely dazzling young men and women seemed to be enveloped by something soft and pure for a moment. Perhaps - this was the bright light of happiness, right?

They quickly pressed the shutter button and recorded what they regarded as the best photo of their lives.

Everyone who sees this photo can feel that the future of the two young boys and girls in the photo will always be so happy, gorgeous and beautiful.

(It would be weird to finish the whole book...)

The two traveled far away to take wedding photos for two days, and then prepared to fly to the Aegean Sea, where they would take another set of wedding photos.

But before going abroad, the two unexpectedly received a call from the Scientific Breakthrough Prize Organizing Committee.
Chapter completed!
