Qin Ke was thinking about how to solve this worry. Qin Xiaoke next to him became angry and shouted: "It's so shameless, Uncle Wei, can you help find out which bad guys want to steal my brother's and their research results? It's best to put these

Catch the bad guys!"

The little girl said this to Wei Feng.

Wei Feng solemnly said: "I will report it to the superiors. Now the superiors also attach great importance to the research of the Yuanzhou Research Center. All acts of prying and sabotage will be dealt with in the most resolute manner. Academician Qin and Academician Ning, please rest assured."

Chen Ming knows best how powerful Wei Feng's organization is. After all, he also retired from there. Hearing this, his expression relaxed and he shook hands with Wei Feng vigorously: "Okay, we can rest assured with your words.

We will continue to be vigilant."

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other and smiled. Well, it saves trouble. It seems that they don't need to worry about these chores at all.

…

Although Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun are mainly responsible for guiding each team to overcome technical difficulties, they are not actually very busy.

Ning Qingyun spent most of her time looking through the recent research materials of several groups, looking for solutions to problems from the perspective of mathematical analysis. In order to avoid inhaling harmful gases or being affected by magnetic radiation, which would affect her two babies, she

I rarely go into various experimental sites.

Qin Ke spent more time guiding specific research details, and would lead a group of young researchers to play basketball for about an hour every evening.

The little follower Qin Xiaoke did not return to Qingping Town in advance, but stayed with Ning Qingyun, continuing her various "prenatal education" for her two nephews and nieces, and taking care of Ning Qingyun.

Ning Qingyun is now five or six months pregnant and her condition is relatively stable. Qin Ke asked the three medical staff who usually take care of Ning Qingyun to stay in the capital without accompanying her. These days, it is mainly Qin Xiao who takes care of and accompanies Ning Qingyun.

shell.

Qin Xiaoke learned a lot of knowledge from the medical staff, and he is quite competent. Moreover, the so-called care mainly means chatting and cheering up, and just calling someone if something happens. If there is any accident, he still has to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

.

In addition, Qin Xiaoke will also help draw design renderings in the research center. In particular, the design blueprint of the Qinghai Lake Salt Water Purification Plant was drawn by her based on engineering drawings and the dictation of engineers. The effect is first-class.

Very well received by everyone.

During this period, Qin Ke and others also took the time to be interviewed by the media for about an hour, mainly answering questions related to the "Yang-Mills Equation" paper.

Then on the evening of February 5th, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had a year-end dinner with all the employees of Qing Ning Technology and Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation to distribute year-end bonuses.

The generous year-end bonuses, coupled with the deeds of the two bosses who traveled thousands of miles to Jizhou to successfully rescue Huo Baoyan, have made the morale of the employees of Qing Ning Technology and Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation high, and their cohesion and loyalty have reached unprecedented heights...

In the rise and fall of winter, the calendar kept turning, and soon it came to February 7th, with only two days left before New Year's Eve.

Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun, and Qin Xiaoke finished their work at the research center and were preparing to return to Qingping Town for the Spring Festival. However, before leaving, the group went to the airport first, because Edward Witten and his wife

He will arrive in Yuanzhou on today's international flight, and Qin Ke, as a "landlord", naturally wants to pick him up.

Since the work assistant Fang Yongtang, under the "urging" of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, had taken leave after the dinner party two days ago, Wei Feng drove Qin Ke and the others to the airport this time.

Wei Feng reported the follow-up of the snooping incident at the research center by the way: "Academician Qin, Academician Ning, the day before yesterday we launched an operation code-named 'Protect the Edge' in the capital and Yuanzhou at the same time, arresting nearly 70 people. Basically, we will

Relevant personnel in the country are under control. Although we abroad are unable to do anything for the time being, this operation has cut off all their tentacles reaching out to Qing Ning Technology. Please rest assured that the superiors have issued instructions to take action.

Next, we will continue to strengthen our defense capabilities to ensure that Lime Technology and related laboratory research results are not subject to any threats."

Qin Xiaoke was the first to applaud, and Qin Ke also secretly exclaimed, "You move so fast!"

He had to lament that it was good to have a country standing behind him, saving him so much trouble. This time, he didn't even have to worry about it, let alone spend a dime, to resolve all kinds of overt and covert attacks from unfair competition.

It seems that I don't have to worry about these miscellaneous things in the future.

…

To pick up Professor Witten, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun naturally couldn't wear disguised hoods, so they just put on hats, sunglasses, and scarves, which were not conspicuous in the crowded airport.

The flight was delayed for fifteen minutes, and Qin Ke and his party waited for about half an hour before they saw Professor Witten and his wife dragging their suitcases at the airport exit.

The tall Edward Witten was quite eye-catching, so Qin Ke didn't say much to him. He went over to shake hands and hug him, then took him and his wife to the parking lot and went directly back to Qingping Town.

In the car, Qin Ke joked: "Edward, I see you brought two big suitcases, but you have decided to live in Xia Kingdom forever?"

Professor Witten shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be helpless and said: "I like Xia Country, and I am happy to stay in Xia Country and have pleasant academic exchanges with you, but my wife's opinion is the most important."

Mrs. Witten and Qin Ke also knew each other. She also came to attend last year's wedding. After hearing this, she smiled and said to Qin Ke: "Edward told me this in private. He said that in today's world, you can talk to him about mathematics and physics."

You two are the only ones who can have a good conversation. He is old and has only a few academic hobbies. He asked me about the nine months I will stay in Xia Kingdom in the next two years. The three months with the best weather.

Can you continue to travel around the world with me? He has already mentioned this, can I object?"

Everyone in the car laughed.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Ke reached out and shook Professor Witten's hand again: "Welcome, Edward, I will return to the capital after the Spring Festival. If you don't mind, then

, you can continue to live with me. I live on the campus of Qingmu University, and Mr. Qiu lives next door to me. We often hold tea parties, and you are welcome to join us."

Professor Witten said cheerfully: "Okay, I quite like living on a university campus. A simple and pure life is the easiest way to generate academic inspiration."

Qin Ke smiled again and said to Mrs. Witten: "Mrs. Witten, I heard that you have taught two outstanding sons. After my wife and I's two babies are born, I will ask you for advice on parenting."

"What a great honor. The education method in our country may be different from that of your Xia country." Mrs. Witten has the talkativeness of an old American lady. She is very fond of the pure and beautiful Ning Qingyun and the young and cute Qin Xiaoke.

Good impression.

Here Qin Ke was chatting with Witten, while she was chatting with Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke.

Fortunately, Qin Xiaoke has been learning English with Ning Qingyun in the past two weeks, and he can barely cope with it. Ning Qingyun's English level is very good, and there is no communication barrier.

Qin Ke and Witten also had a lively chat. Qin Ke invited Witten to be the special consultant of the "Qing Ning Mathematics Research Laboratory" where he and Ning Qingyun worked. Professor Witten asked how this "research laboratory" has been since its establishment.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were the only two people who had never been "expanded" before. They happily agreed and also agreed to give lectures at the School of Mathematics and School of Physics of Qingmu University in their spare time.

The latter is a great news for Qingmu University.

Although Qingmu University now has two Philippine Prize and Nobel Prize winners, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, Edward Witten's international academic status and influence are by no means inferior to Qin Ke's, and his personal connections are even more distant.

Better than Qin and Ke.

With this level of personal connections, even if Professor Witten just helps out, he can invite more top scholars to Qingmu University for academic visits, academic exchanges, and even recommend some students to top universities in the United States.

Studying abroad is also a piece of cake.

This is extremely beneficial to enhancing the international status and influence of Qingmu University.

So when President Gu Bojun heard the news, he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Qin Ke not only "kidnapped" an academic master like Edward Witten to stay in Xia Kingdom for a long time, but also gave Qingmu University such a gift!

Gu Bojun made an appointment letter almost as quickly as possible, and officially hired Edward Witten as a special consultant of the "Ling Lemon Mathematics Research Laboratory" and a visiting professor of Qingmu University, with the same salary as a first-class full professor in China - this

This is equivalent to turning the verbal agreement between Qin Ke and Professor Witten into a confirmed fact.

Qin Ke received the appointment letter on New Year's Eve and forwarded it to Professor Witten. He joked: "Edward, your status in the heart of our principal is high enough. He was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so he finalized the matter overnight.

.”

Professor Witten has been exchanging ideas about his book "Superstring Theory" with Qin Ke for the past two days. The two of them chatted so well, especially Qin Ke's profound knowledge and superhuman physical intuition.

Professor Witten enjoyed the conversation so much that he wished he could stay in Xia for a long time. After listening to Qin Ke's proverb of Xia that "cooked ducks fly", he laughed, picked up the pen and signed his name.

, readily accepted this extra-paid position.

After signing, he took Qin Ke and talked about the theory of "M-physics' multi-dimensional space": "Many people believe that theoretical physics will eventually be integrated into the melting pot of geometric topology, that is, theoretical physics is the new geometry, the new geometry.

Geometry will unify relativity and quantum mechanics. I also agree with this view. After studying your latest papers, I have recently been studying the discrete geometric quantization and topology of gauge fields in a continuous unified field..."

The old man was so excited when he talked about theoretical physics and new geometry that Mrs. Witten next to her couldn't help but humorously said: "Ning, I don't know if you feel the same way. Anyway, I think what Witten and Qin have said these days combined,

It's more than anything he has ever said to me in his life."

Ning Qingyun couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled. She actually remembered a similar situation in the past, that is, when Professor Tao Zhexuan of the University of California met Qin Ke, he basically just had a lively chat with Qin Ke and talked about other things.

Everyone was thrown aside.

She is even more proud in her heart - she can make physics geniuses like Edward Witten and Tao Zhexuan and mathematics geniuses feel like confidants. It is estimated that there is no second person in the world besides her husband.

Personal.

…

After Edward Witten and his wife arrived in Qingping Town, Qin Ke's father Qin Yanghui, mother Shen Qiuyi and grandfather Shen Tieshan had already received the news and arranged the room in advance, so they were not particularly surprised.

Qin Yanghui and Shen Qiuyi even learned a dozen commonly used English sentences to greet them on the spur of the moment, but it was grandpa Shen Tieshan who mainly received guests.

Shen Tieshan felt particularly proud to have foreign friends, including internationally renowned physicists, come to his home to celebrate the New Year. In order to show the warm and hospitable side of Xia people, he even took out a bottle of 30-year-old Moutai from his collection and served it at the New Year's Eve dinner table

We opened it and drank with the Wittens.

For a small mountain town like Qingping Town, the arrival of Edward Witten and his wife caused a huge sensation. The leaders of the town came here to pay a visit. Even the big shots in the city heard about it.

It's just that Witten is not keen on socializing with these people. Simply shaking hands and taking a photo is considered to be for Qin Ke's sake.

It's funny to say that if only Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were in the town, the visit of big figures from all walks of life would probably break the threshold. But now Professor Witten and his wife live in Qin Ke's place, in order not to affect the "internationally renowned scholars"

"Yuanzhou City even issued instructions stipulating the number and frequency of visits to Qin Ke's family every day.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even the big boss from the province only sat for about five minutes when he came to Qin Ke's house. He enthusiastically handed over plaques, banners and condolences before leaving. The town

The fellow villagers did not dare to disturb the "internationally renowned scholars" casually, making Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's Spring Festival the most relaxing in the past three years, with the least need to worry about interpersonal relationships.

In their free time, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also took the Witten couple to experience the Spring Festival culture of Xia Kingdom, such as posting Spring Festival couplets, eating New Year's Eve dinner, watching the New Year's Eve, paying New Year's greetings, opening firecrackers, New Year greetings, dragon and lion dances, worshiping gods and ancestors,

For temple fairs, etc., I also gave a gift prepared in advance - two sets of red Tang suits.

The antique Tang suits made the Wittens very happy. After putting them on, they took a group photo and posted it on Twitter, which attracted countless likes and curious inquiries from their friends.
