Qin Ke still doesn't pay much attention to his birthday, but now his birthday is not only his birthday, but also the anniversary of his marriage to Ning Qingyun, so he can't just celebrate it casually.

And considering that Edward Witten and his wife are used to celebrating Western Christmas, in order to let the two foreign friends feel more of the festive atmosphere of Christmas Eve, Qin Ke carefully asked his assistant Fang Yongtang to help add Christmas trees and Christmas trees at home.

Many lights and colorful flags.

This arrangement certainly made the Edwards very surprised and happy. What made them even happier was the little girl Yanyan and the seven-month-old Xiaoxiao and Zhengzheng. The two little guys were touching each other with their chubby little hands. They were full of tenderness.

While giggling, Qin Xiaoke held up the camera and kept taking pictures of the three children as souvenirs.

This birthday dinner is considered a family dinner. In addition to everyone present, Qin Ke also invited his teachers, Academician Jiang Weixian, Academician Guo Weiyang, Principal Gu Bojun, good friend Professor Chen Licheng, etc., and even Wei Hai, who plays professional basketball in the capital.

, it is a pity that Wei Hai happened to be away from home due to a competition and could not rush back to the capital. He could only send blessings to Qin Ke on WeChat and repeatedly stated that he would take his girlfriend to treat Qin Ke to dinner when he returned to the capital.

Uncle Yang Chengke and Uncle Chen Jixue were also unable to come to the banquet due to the heavy workload of various meetings at the end of the year. They just made an appointment to meet again after New Year's Day.

In the end, only a large table of people were seated for the dinner.

Tonight's meal was cooked by my father and Qin Ke himself. In addition, some Beijing-specific delicacies were ordered in advance, such as roast duck, braised and roasted, almond tofu, Xiaodiaoli soup, etc. It can be said that it is Yuanzhou plus Beijing.

The dishes from the north and the south were brought together, and they were extremely rich. Mr. and Mrs. Edward ate with great appreciation.

Two bottles of Maotai and red wine were also opened during the banquet. The atmosphere was lively and the whole villa was filled with laughter and laughter.

After dinner, it’s time to give each other gifts. After all, Christmas is coming. In addition to giving Qin Ke a birthday gift, you can also give each other Christmas Eve gifts to add a festive atmosphere.

Qin Ke also received a bunch of gifts. Although they were not particularly expensive, each gift was carefully prepared, which showed his affection.

What Ning Qingyun gave Qin Ke was a photo album, which contained not a photo of the two of them, but a photo of the two of them with their friends, family, and classmates from high school to university, symbolizing their social circle and extremely

Significant.

Qin Ke also gave Ning Qingyun a wedding anniversary gift - a starry sky instrument.

But this set of starry sky instruments is not a popular product that can be bought on TB, but a high-tech product that Qin Ke asked Principal Gu Bojun to find after a long time.

When they participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad in their sophomore year of high school, they saw the most beautiful starry sky and fireworks feast at the Science and Technology Exhibition Hall of Qingmu University, and left very fond memories. This set of starry sky instruments was the core equipment inside, although there was no

Fazi completely reproduced the nearly perfect 4D effect at that time, but when the starry sky device was properly arranged, the hall of the villa was closed, and the boundless universe and shining stars lit up in the starry sky, everyone present still subconsciously held their breath.

Breathe and feel the greatness and vastness of the starry sky.

"It's so beautiful..." Qin Xiaoke praised with sparkling eyes.

"The universe is so vast and beautiful that people can't help but yearn to explore its mysteries. It was because I saw an astronomical telescope when I was in college that I decided to embark on the path of particle physics." Edward Witten was talking to his old friend

Mr. Qiu talked about the past.

When countless fireworks phantoms flew up and brilliant flowers exploded, Qin Xiaoke and the little girl Yanyan shouted excitedly together, and the atmosphere of celebration became even more enthusiastic.

Ning Qingyun quietly held Qin Ke's hand and said in a soft voice: "Thank you, Qin Xiaoke."

Qin Ke turned around and saw Ning Qingyun's exquisite, pure and pretty face complementing the light of the fireworks, which was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

What particularly moved Qin Ke was the gentle eyes of his little cabbage, the swaying figure in the darkness, the high single ponytail, and the familiar and delicious lime-like fragrance.

Next, Qin Ke couldn't help but think of what happened when he attacked Ning Qingyun with routines.

He raised the corners of his mouth, leaned over and kissed Ning Qingyun's smooth face, and said with a smile: "We are all one family, why are you so polite? Do you like this gift?"

"I like it, I like it very much." Ning Qingyun smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes full of deep tenderness, and she dared to kiss him again before looking up at the fireworks in the sky with him.

Although the technology was only developed seven years ago, it is still shocking to see countless fireworks exploding above your head.

This also reminded Ning Qingyun of the time when he and Qin Ke participated in the National Mathematical Olympiad and visited Qingmu University.

At that time, she and Qin Ke had not yet dated, but she was already used to being held by this guy obediently.

Probably from that time on, I had fallen in love with him without knowing it? Otherwise, why would I have been so unhappy and nervous when I saw the short-haired female college student staring at Qin Ke?

It is said that first love is the most beautiful, and Ning Qingyun is very happy now, but every time she thinks of the past, she will always be touched and missed in another way, and at the same time, she will cherish the happy life in front of her even more.

She hugged Qin Ke's arm tightly and pressed her face against it, revealing indescribable tenderness and sweetness in her movements.

Qin Ke also relaxed his body and mind, enjoying the comfort and leisurely warmth of this moment.

In fact, he put a lot of thought into preparing this gift and asked his assistant Fang Yongtang to take advantage of the Christmas decorations to successfully install a lot of stereo speakers, so that the effect was as good as it is today.

But seeing Ning Qingyun so happy made all the careful preparations worth it.

In recent years, even if he gets married, Qin Ke never forgets to create some romance and surprises on special days, such as birthdays, Valentine's Day, wedding anniversaries, Chinese Valentine's Day, etc.

Girls pay great attention to the sense of ritual, and it is easy to create such a sense of ritual. Think more about the happy times when two people were together in the past, and choose some unforgettable scenes to recreate them. It does not take too much effort and

The effect is very good, like today.

Of course, Qin Ke doesn't intend to tell others such little tips.

Finally, in the gorgeous fireworks, today turns into the memory of yesterday, and the new day turns into a future worth looking forward to.

…

Two days later, Professor Tao Zhexuan's international flight arrived in Beijing. Qin Ke and his wife, Edward Witten, and President Gu Bojun of Qingmu University all went to the airport to greet him in person.

Professor Tao Zhexuan was accompanied by three of his graduate students, among whom was Wang Changai, who was studying for a Ph.D.

It was exciting to meet old friends. Wang Changai and Qin Ke had not seen each other for more than a year. When they met again, this mathematical genius who had always stuttered and came out of the mountains hugged Qin Ke excitedly: "Ke

Brother, I...I'm back!"

For Wang Changai, the only one who can truly be called a "friend" is the boy in front of him, and in his heart, he has always regarded Qin Ke as his "teacher" and "brother". If it hadn't been for Qin Kemo's actions over the years,

How could he focus on mathematics without any distractions when he was subsidizing his tuition and living expenses in the name of Qing Ning Student Aid Foundation?

Even putting aside these mountains of kindness, Qin Ke, who had never looked at him strangely because of his stuttering, made Wang Changai feel an equal respect.

So even after staying abroad for nearly three years, seeing the prosperity abroad, the relative fairness of the academic atmosphere abroad, and experiencing the injustice and darkness at home, Wang Changai still chose to return to China without hesitation and follow his "brother".

Contribute to a better future for Xia Country.

"Welcome back, my brother." Qin Ke also hugged him hard, and then smiled and said: "Sun Bingfei has prepared a reception banquet for you tonight, Shaoping, Yuyuan, Xiang Xue, Jiang

Xiaopang, classmate Xiaohua... all the friends who can come will come. Can you bring the other two classmates with you? I heard from Lao Tao that your two senior brothers get along well with you?"

"They are very warm people, and they know that you and I are good friends...it will be better for me." Wang Changai slowed down his speech and said. As long as he is not nervous and slows down, he will not stutter as much.

Wang Changai then introduced two other doctoral students from Tao Zhexuan to Qin Ke. One of these two people was named Aiqi Sal and the other was Basri Bellon. When they shook hands with Qin Ke, they felt like they had met idols.

enthusiasm and tension.

At this time, Tao Zhexuan had already shaken hands with Principal Gu and was polite. Qin Ke went over to shake hands with Old Tao and said with a smile: "Old Tao, you are used to the Western Christmas holiday. In our country of Xia, Christmas is not

On vacation, when you come here, you must be mentally prepared to join the research team immediately and work as a cow and a horse. Don't say that our universities in Xia State are exploiting you and bullying you."

Tao Zhexuan smiled and scolded: "Don't explain it. Now that I have boarded your pirate ship, I am handing over these hundred and dozens of kilograms to you. I only applied for an academic visit for half a year. If I can't get out in July this year,

As a result, I will go back to the University of California in despair and apply for an extension again, and I cannot afford to be embarrassed."

Qin Ke blinked and said with a smile: "Half a year... It's definitely not possible to rely on me, Qingjun and Edward alone, but with Lao Tao and you, there is still a 70% to 80% chance."

As Qin Ke said, the topic of "applying string theory to control the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements" soon began to enter a critical stage with the arrival of Professor Tao Zhexuan.

If humans want to completely solve the freshwater crisis, they will ultimately rely on the boundless ocean.

Now, except for the purification part that still lacks radioactive elements, the "Lingning Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution 2.0" has all other indicators meeting the design standards, making it the world's top seawater desalination technology solution.

But if the problem of nuclear sewage is not solved for one day, at least Xiaguo and neighboring countries will not be able to safely apply the "Lingning Technology New Energy and Water Desalination and Purification Integrated Technology Solution 2.0" to desalinate seawater and alleviate the continuous drought disaster in the next few years.

.

The key to solving the problem of nuclear sewage is to make a huge breakthrough in the topic of "applying string theory to control the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements."

Qin Ke must complete this project as quickly as possible with the help of his partners, and then solve the nuclear sewage problem!

…

After a short but lively welcome party, three students, Wang Changai, Aiqi Sal, and Basri Veron, lived in the graduate dormitory of Qingmu University as international exchange students. Because Qin Ke had informed the school in advance

After saying hello, they happened to live on the same floor as Jiang Zhenjie, Li Xiangxue, Liang Shaoping, Sun Bingfei and others, and the dormitories were also close, making it easier for them to visit each other and communicate with each other.

Old Tao Tao Zhexuan officially moved into Qin Ke's garden villa. His room was next to Edward Witten and his wife. Plus Mr. Qiu who visited from time to time, there were five Fields living in this garden villa for a long time.

Award winners gathered.

Regarding this, Jiang Xiaopang once joked in private that if this garden villa was not strong and collapsed, the development of human mathematics and physics would probably stagnate.

——Of course, this is impossible to happen. Wei Feng arranges for people to check the safety of the villa every month. To put it bluntly, even if there is an earthquake and most of the houses within a few kilometers nearby collapse, this garden villa area will still be able to

Stand firm.

Lao Tao was truly a math geek, and he quickly devoted himself to the topic of "applying string theory to control the 'random events of decay' of radioactive elements."

This research group studies physical problems, but uses mathematical methods to solve them. Several people advance the research according to the division of labor every day, and each completes the part they are responsible for during the day. For example, Qin Ke is responsible for geometry, topology, complex variable functions, etc.

Edward is responsible for the direction of algebra, Ning Qingyun is responsible for the direction of number theory and partial differential equations, and Lao Tao is responsible for probability theory and catastrophe theory.

In the evening, there will be a tea party and a meeting for a few people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared with Lao Tao and Edward who can devote themselves wholeheartedly to it, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have more things to do during the day. In addition to teaching undergraduates and tutoring graduate students,

It is also responsible for domestic extreme climate research and response. Although the nominal chief scientist of the European Meteorological Center is Professor David Goldberg, it is actually Qin who directs the European meteorological data analysis, modeling and deduction work.

Ke and Ning Qingyun.

It can be said that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun have become the de facto commanders-in-chief of extreme climate research and prevention and response matters in Xia and European countries.
