Chapter 824 The colorful years of studying with Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun(1/2)
Qin Ke said unexpectedly: "Don't you need us to make a trip to London?"
Wiles smiled and said: "I won't bother you to make this trip. I heard that Sir Evan Taylor, the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Kingdom, plans to visit friends in Xia Kingdom in March and April this year, and he will bring the certificate to you by the way.
"
After the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, the Royal Academy of Sciences, also known as the Royal Society, expressed its intention to award Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun the latest foreign academician certificates, but Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun needed to go to London to receive them in four months.
.
——In fact, this is also a normal procedure. After all, it is impossible for the Academy of Sciences to just express the certificate. Allowing foreign academicians to collect it in person can not only hold a certificate awarding ceremony, increase international status, enhance publicity, but also make foreign academicians proud of it.
, pay more attention to the relationship with the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Country.
However, Qin Ke said at that time that he was not available and would talk about it later when he was free.
The Royal Academy of Eagle Kingdom, which is accustomed to being arrogant in front of others, is naturally arrogant. Although it did not explicitly say that it would no longer award the two people, it was obvious that it did not want to make any concessions. It just said tactfully that the time could be negotiated.
I hope to try my best to choose one day in March.
Qin Ke was noncommittal about this. In fact, he had no intention of asking Ning Qingyun, who was pregnant with the baby, to make a special trip to get a certificate.
He has almost all the academician certificates from the ten major academies of sciences in his hand. He doesn't care if he is missing the two national academies of sciences of the United States and Eagle Country. He has no collecting habit.
There is no further story on this matter.
Unexpectedly, on the second day of the new year, the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Kingdom found a lobbyist to repair the relationship and proactively made concessions. Moreover, the lobbyist they found was Professor Wiles, an acquaintance with Qin Ke. You can see this.
When I returned to the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Kingdom, I really lowered my proud head.
Qin Keluo thought about it and understood that it was probably his and Ning Qingyun's cooperation with the European Meteorological Center that caused the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Country to conduct a second evaluation of their strength. In order to better cooperate in the future, appropriate
It’s not surprising that he lowered his profile.
As for why the president of the Academy of Sciences came to visit Xia Kingdom and brought his certificate with him, it was even more obvious, so that the Royal Academy of Sciences of Eagle Kingdom could barely maintain its proud head and not be completely humbled in front of outsiders.
Qin Ke has no need to refuse the certificates that come to his door. After all, if you get more foreign academician certificates, the system will reward you, and such certificates will be useful for future global scientific research cooperation, especially
It is to shorten the distance with the scientific research community of Eagle Country.
So Qin Ke readily agreed.
Professor Wiles was in a good mood after completing the task and said with a smile: "Xia is a beautiful country. If you hadn't already visited it last year when you and Academician Ning got married, I would have wanted to visit again."
"We have a saying here about the baby's full moon wine. If the old man can find time in July, he can come again and have a wedding wine."
After chatting happily with Professor Wiles for more than ten minutes, Qin Ke unexpectedly received a call from Faltings, a representative of the National Academy of Sciences.
As if they had made an appointment, the National Academy of Sciences found Wiles, and the American Academy of Sciences found Faltins as a lobbyist to make up the relationship. However, the Americans were more practical and did not make so many false claims. They just said it directly.
The certificate was sent by FedEx. The only small request was that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun take a photo with the certificate and send it to the American Academy of Sciences so that they can publish it on their website and kindly invite Qin Ke.
The two went to the United States for an academic exchange visit.
The United States currently also needs a high-altitude extreme anomaly disaster early warning system, but they have stronger technical confidence than Europe, and it is said that they have also tried their best to purchase European software versions for their own research, so they did not turn to Qin Ke and Ning for help.
Qingjun.
This time I took the initiative to send the certificate, just to leave a way out for cooperation.
No matter what, thanks to the high-altitude extreme anomaly disaster early warning system becoming world-famous again, in April this year, the young couple Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will become the first great scientists in history to truly collect certificates from ten national academies of sciences.
…
In addition to these things related to foreign academicians, there are really many things worth mentioning in the first month of the new year.
With the arrival of the new year, Qin Ke slowed down again, especially considering that December last year was a bit rough, and in January he tried to let Ning Qingyun relax as much as possible.
The original approval letter for doubling the staffing capacity of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory was officially issued to Qingmu University on January 3, but Qin Ke did not recruit people in a hurry.
More than 400 people will be added at once, and arranging food and accommodation is not a simple matter. After all, these are imported talents, and they cannot just arrange dormitories casually like students. Qingmu University basically plans to press "associate researcher"
In order to accommodate this huge group of people according to the standard of treatment, it would take a lot of time to free up more than 400 separate dormitories.
Moreover, the placement of family members of newly recruited personnel is not an easy problem, and we must be prepared to help solve it no matter what.
Before Qingmu University can make preparations, recruitment can only be done slowly.
As for the subsequent optimization and operation and maintenance of the "Qingning High Altitude Extreme Abnormal Airflow Warning and Flight Avoidance Route System v1.5 (domestic version)", Qin Ke will continue to follow up for several months, slowly and gradually
It was handed over to the new company "Xiaguo Extreme Weather Warning Software Service Company" jointly established by the National Science and Technology Management Department, the National Meteorological Management Department, Qingmu University, and Qingning Technology.
This new company is still a state-controlled company. The national science and technology management department, the national meteorological management department, and Qingmu University allocate manpower for management and daily operations. Qing Ning Technology of Qin Ke and his wife will invest in technology, accounting for 20% of the equity shares, and will not participate.
Management, only taking dividends.
"Ling Ning High-Altitude Extreme Abnormal Airflow Warning and Flight Avoidance Route System v1.5 (Domestic Version)" This software system is of course not free for airlines to use, but requires an annual authorization fee, which is a matter of authorization fee management.
All of them will be handled by the "Xiaguo Extreme Weather Warning Software Service Company".
This is Qin Ke's customary decision. He is only the one who lights the torch. As for making the torch burn brighter and brighter, that is the goal that other smart people can accomplish together.
Of course, there is no need for Qin Ke to worry about such things as companies and equity. For a great scientist like him who has made great contributions, the country will naturally use all means to retain him and protect his interests, not to mention Qing Ning
Technology CEO Zhou Shutao is very capable.
In January, the 24 master's and doctoral students led by Qin Ke also ushered in their final exams.
The format of this final exam is quite special. One of the tasks is to accumulate volunteer time. You must accumulate 20 hours of volunteer time within a week to pass the first exam. As for what volunteers to do and how to contact the volunteer organization, Qin Ke and the two
No matter, they just want to see the most real results.
Including Jiang Zhenjie, Hua Manting, Gu Yanfei, Sun Bingfei and other acquaintances and friends, no one dared to be lazy and cunning. Even though Qin Ke was smiling, if he really wanted to be strict, his relatives would not recognize him.
However, a few foreign students are more adaptable to such a unique examination. Most of them have participated in social practice activities such as volunteering in junior high and high schools. So under the connection of Sun Bingfei, who has a wide network of contacts, a group of "academician students" are envied by countless college students.
, he began his volunteer career by clearing snow on the streets of Beijing and directing traffic.
Qin Ke sometimes brings Qin Xiaoke to join them. Naturally, Ning Qingyun is pregnant with the baby and cannot participate, but she will also appear at the scene to help prepare some warm water.
As a result, the volunteer group known as "the most luxurious in history" was quietly born. Since everyone was wearing thick hats and scarves that covered most of their faces, they were not recognized while volunteering.
Later, Skylar Leonis, a master's student in mathematics from the United States, wrote about her feelings at that time in her memoir "My Colorful Years of Studying with Academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingjun in Xia" after returning to China.
Skylar Leonis wrote: "I have also done volunteer work in the United States for a period of time, but the first week of volunteering in Xia Guo left a particularly deep impression on me. The original heavy physical strength
Labor and the harsh working environment made me a little unaccustomed. But seeing Academician Qin Ke leading by example and taking the lead in shoveling the snow, and looking at the flat ground that had been cleared of snow, the resentment in my heart quickly disappeared."
"Yes, it's incredible that Academician Qin Ke, a Nobel Prize winner, Fields Medal winner, and a great scientist known as the 'Treasure of the Xia Kingdom' by the world, actually braved the biting cold wind and took us students to shovel
Snow, and it is purely a volunteer work, and does not charge a penny for payment."
"... Later, many passers-by expressed their gratitude to us. One little girl even tied the scarf she was wearing around my neck. At that moment, I felt really warm and understood many things about books and mathematics.
Beautiful things beyond.”
"This special exam made my classmates and I fall in love with the identity of volunteers. In the following days of studying with the two academicians, we spontaneously volunteered for about 20 hours every month. This habit
, I persisted until I returned to the United States."
"It brings me closer to the life at the bottom and makes my life more vivid."
"I am very grateful to the two great Xia Guo mentors. They taught me not only profound professional knowledge, but also the 'good life' that a 'human being' should possess and understand."
Since Skylar Leonis later became a world-famous mathematics master, her memoir caused a great sensation when it was published. Many families with young children bought it home and read it to their children.
Learn and appreciate the unique teaching methods of those two magical academicians Xia Guo.
…
After completing the one-week volunteer exam, the students faced the second test, which was the project practice.
They were divided into several groups by drawing lots, selected a topic together, and then began to do research together. The whole process was completed independently by each group, and Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun did not intervene.
Students must complete a qualified first draft of the thesis approved by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun within two weeks to pass the exam.
This not only tests the students' teamwork ability, overall analysis and thinking ability, but also tests their practical ability to solve problems. It is not easy, and all the students have no complaints. Just work hard and work hard.
The "tea party" held every night in Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's garden villa became more and more lively. Many professors from Qingmu University and Yan University came uninvited, and many students also came to join in the fun, but here
The topic is too high-end, and most people are afraid to leave after only coming once. Even those who are thick-skinned will give up after staying up for a few nights.
This is a real tea party for academic elites. Even an ordinary associate professor may not be able to keep up with the topic.
However, most of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's 24 students persisted. Sometimes they could not join the professors' topics, so they communicated with other students.
They adhere to the academic attitude of "there must be one teacher among us" and "not ashamed to ask questions", and they can gain everything from such a relaxed and high-end tea party every night.
Not only them, but also many young professors and scholars found it beneficial. Soon, the "tea party" in the garden villa became a "fixed activity" that various colleges of Qingmu University competed to imitate.
It is also worth mentioning that Vice President Gu Bojun can now be called President Gu Bojun, because his transfer from vice president to full-time position is basically a foregone conclusion, and the paperwork process is already going through. In the new semester after the Spring Festival, Vice President Gu Bojun will be officially honored.
Ascend to the principal's throne.
The original principal Huang Ruide also went a step further and developed to a higher platform.
The two school leaders knew very well that their "progress" this time was inseparable from the extraordinary performance of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in the past four years since they entered Qingmu University. The Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics of Qingmu University
It is also thanks to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun that we can absorb a large number of outstanding talents from home and abroad to return, strengthen our scientific research and teaching capabilities, and successfully transform from "department" to "college" from the next semester.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So the two school leaders invited Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to their homes for a banquet and entertained them in the form of a family banquet to show their closeness.
There are many chores to do, so I won’t list them all in detail.
