Chapter 330 The sky is about to fall at Peking University! (12)
The academic leadership group of the Science Foundation is responsible for the most important academic review!
Academicians Pan and Tian are well aware of the importance of this position, and they are also well aware of the power of this position, at least in the field of theoretical physics. All large-scale key projects related to the country are almost inseparable from the relationship with Chen Xiaoxin.
In this case, if Chen Xiaoxin sets up his own faction, how powerful his faction will be is simply unimaginable! In addition, his relationship with the Yan family and the Wei family.
Academician Pan was shocked and bewildered, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed unlikely that such an important matter would be decided directly by the leaders of the academy of sciences. Unless this was the intention from above, it would not have been announced so suddenly.
In fact, Academician Pan was not wrong in his guess. Chen Xiaoxin was responsible for the review of theoretical physics funds, which was indeed what was meant by the above. In addition to his achievements and status in academia that are difficult to surpass, there is also the guarantee of Yan Xiaoxi's family. From a certain perspective, Chen Xiaoxin is the strength of the Yan and Wei families in the field of scientific research.
Although the Yan family and the Wei family have two or three scientists, and my aunt is an academician of engineering, the power between academicians also varies. My aunt does not have much say, but Chen Xiaoxin is different. Although he is not yet an academician, he has a lot of say in the international arena and is an authority in the fields of mathematics and physics.
so.
Yan Xiaoxi's family chose to sacrifice part of themselves to ensure Chen Xiaoxin's position in the field of scientific research.
Of course, Chen Xiaoxin didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, but he also vaguely felt that something was wrong. But then again, since he and Yan Xiaoxi became a couple, Chen Xiaoxin knew that he would eventually become part of the power.
In the following time, Chen Xiaoxin briefly talked about theoretical physics, mainly the problems of quantum gravity, dark matter and dark energy.
"I am not interested in string theory." Chen Xiaoxin did not shy away from saying, "But I do not reject string theory, let alone research on string theory. However, I will not approve too many projects in terms of funding for string theory. String theory has many problems, whether from a mathematical or physical perspective."
"Of course"
"If I must support the research funding for string theory," Chen Xiaoxin pursed his lips and replied helplessly, "then you need to come up with mathematical tools that convince me, or the most unique understanding of physics, but I don't think anyone will get my approval in this regard."
As a top scientist in the fields of mathematics and physics, it is conceivable how difficult it is to get Chen Xiaoxin's recognition in these two areas.
In the past, those who worked on theories thought that the leader who signed the project was a fool who knew nothing, but now the situation has changed. The existence of Chen Xiaoxin has made the field of theoretical physics more difficult. Of course, this difficulty has put higher demands on research projects, instead of being able to fool around as in the past.
I don’t know how long it’s been,
The second phase of the meeting in the afternoon ended.
It was basically a one-man show by Chen Xiaoxin, who carefully analyzed the current status of theoretical physics. Of course, he also mentioned quantum communication and quantum computing. Especially in the field of quantum computing, Chen Xiaoxin was particularly optimistic about this part of theoretical research.
Academician Guo was greatly benefited by his words, and he almost wrote on his forehead that he was Chen Xiaoxin's man.
"Team Leader Chen."
"Congratulations. You've become a leader in an instant." Academician Guo's words were filled with a hint of respect. Even though the other person was younger than his son, his academic achievements and the power he held were more terrifying than anyone else.
"No, no, no."
"It's all because of the country's trust in me." Chen Xiaoxin said shyly, "I didn't expect it to be like this. In fact, I don't want this deputy team leader position. After all, there are still many things to deal with and solve every day, but...but since it is the country's decision, I can only obey it. The country's will is above everything else."
Good guy.
It’s different when you become a leader. You express your national sentiments directly. You are so skilled!
Academician Guo's state of mind had already changed. Ever since he announced Chen Xiaoxin as the deputy leader of the group at the meeting, he has regarded Chen Xiaoxin as a leader. Don't think that he is just an ordinary deputy leader of the group. In fact, the power in his hands is so great that it is limitless.
"Academician Pan."
Chen Xiaoxin suddenly said to Academician Pan: "Can I borrow a few minutes of your time?"
Academician Pan was stunned for a moment, nodded silently, and then the two of them walked out of the meeting room and came to an empty corner.
"To tell you the truth"
"I am not optimistic about quantum communication, including your photon computing. I think you know more about it than I do." Chen Xiaoxin said bluntly: "Pseudogap is a very good field. I wonder if you are interested. We can cooperate."
Chen Xiaoxin's proposal of cooperation is not a sign of weakness, but rather a stronger compromise. Of course, Chen Xiaoxin's main purpose is to unite the team internally.
Compared with those academic experts who are domineering at home, Chen Xiaoxin is more domineering outside his home. He has always been very strong towards foreign countries, but surprisingly tolerant at home. It is not because he has a good temper, but he just feels it is unnecessary. The bottom line is that no one will threaten his position in the academic field, and at most he will be ruined in the field of education.
however,
Academician Pan did not want to cooperate with Chen Xiaoxin. In his eyes, it was a bit humiliating. Besides, it was like courting disaster. In the end, it would not be worth the loss.
"Thank you for your kindness, Team Leader Chen."
"But I don't have time to cooperate with you for the time being, I'm really sorry." said Academician Pan.
"Oh"
"Pity."
Chen Xiaoxin smiled innocently and said, "I hope there will be a chance next time, and I believe there will be such an opportunity."
The two didn't talk much and it ended just like that. Chen Xiaoxin followed Mr. Hong and left. After they parted, they took a taxi to the hotel. On the way, he called Yan Xiaoxi to tell her that his plans had changed and he would have to go home a day later.
"There's nothing I can do"
"I was asked to serve as the deputy leader of the academic leadership team to review and sign the relevant projects. I have to go to a meeting tomorrow. I changed my flight ticket." Chen Xiaoxin said bitterly: "By the way, can you help me ask if there are any relatives of yours behind this? I feel something is wrong."
“No surprise.”
“I think so.”
Yan Xiaoxi, with her sensitivity in this area, roughly guessed what was going on and muttered, "Just focus on science and don't get involved in these things. My family probably wants you to become a strong fulcrum in this field."
"alright."
"Actually, I've figured it out."
"In this complex society, it is actually impossible to maintain your extraordinary behavior, unless you really have no desires." Chen Xiaoxin smiled innocently, "But the problem is that I don't have no desires. You talk to your relatives at home. I will firmly hold the right to speak in this field."
Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips and replied hesitantly, "Stupid, I'm sorry, I know this... This result may not be what you want."
"fool."
"There's nothing to be sorry about."
Chen Xiaoxin smiled unhappily and said, "I wanted to do this on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with you. Okay, okay, I'll be at the hotel soon. By the way, go find Director Wang from the Department of Mathematics and ask him to help with the report meeting on the proof of the existence of the solution to the NS equation."
"it is good!"
"I'll talk to him."
"As for the relevant invitation list, do you want to think of it yourself or do you want me to help you?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"I'm sure you!"
Chen Xiaoxin replied in a mean way: "What are you thinking about?"
Yan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, but for some reason, she felt a little warm inside. She said angrily, "You only know how to order me around. I'm your wife! Not a maid!"
Then,
After chatting about some romantic things, Chen Xiaoxin hung up the phone as Yan Xiaoxi was reluctant to leave.
At present, this development speed has caught Chen Xiaoxin off guard, but it is also within the controllable range. I am afraid that he will be appointed as a doctoral supervisor in the future.
Damn
Just thinking about it makes me scared! Just when he was a little uneasy, a sentence suddenly rang in his mind: If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell your teacher about it!
I didn’t understand before.
Now it is a complete enlightenment!
The next day,
The National Science Foundation building.
In an ordinary conference room, there were several senior leaders sitting there, including the director of the foundation and two main deputy directors. As for Chen Xiaoxin, he was sitting in the corner.
After a brief opening statement, they officially entered into the topic of the special project leadership team for theoretical physics. The content was quite official, and Chen Xiaoxin almost fell asleep while listening, but his slacking points were rising rapidly.
"Professor Chen."
"Tell me what you think."
The director suddenly said to Chen Xiaoxin.
Chen Xiaoxin shuddered all over, and quickly perked up his spirits. He said lightly: "Pay attention to cutting-edge projects in theoretical physics, and encourage postdoctoral projects in theoretical physics, especially research in interdisciplinary fields. There is also funding for theoretical physics culture and communication projects, and also large-scale innovative research projects."
Blah blah
Chen Xiaoxin talked about many aspects, and he left out the relevant academic content and only talked about the results of the project, allowing the leaders present to feel the importance more directly.
All the leaders present were older than him and had extensive experience, but in the face of Chen Xiaoxin's suggestions, almost everyone took notes. Chen Xiaoxin finished speaking in less than ten minutes.
"Ah."
"Professor Chen's suggestions are very important."
"Let's proceed according to this concept for now, Professor Chen. You are the last checkpoint and you must guard it!" the leader said earnestly.
"Don't worry, leader."
"The mission must be completed!"
Chen Xiaoxin nodded hurriedly and answered seriously.
The basic leadership team was completed, and then there were meetings within the group. In short, they were either on the way to a meeting or had just finished a meeting. However, the internal meetings were more direct. Chen Xiaoxin was in charge of academic content, and there was an expert group under him, all of whom were professors from various universities.
Looked at the list.
Peking University professors make up the majority!
Chen Xiaoxin pursed his lips and almost laughed out loud in the meeting.
Ouch.
It is true that things change over time. Don’t look down on the young because they are poor!
I used to compete with the physics department of Peking University and almost fought with them, but now I have become their leader.
When the meeting was over,
When Chen Xiaoxin was about to leave, Team Leader Lu suddenly stopped him.
"Xiao Chen."
Team leader Lu asked with a smile: "Are you feeling any pressure?"
"No."
Chen Xiaoxin shook his head and replied softly, "It's all within my field, so there's basically no pressure."
"That's good."
"Also, don't be afraid of offending people." Team Leader Lu said earnestly, "Your position is one where you get scolded, but it's also the position with the heaviest responsibility. Don't let certain things affect your decision-making."
"Um"
"I'll pay attention." Chen Xiaoxin nodded.
After finishing the official business, the next thing was personal matters. Team Leader Lu looked at Chen Xiaoxin as if he was looking at his junior and said, "Your father-in-law and I are old acquaintances. He mentioned you to me not long ago."
Chen Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment, feeling confused as to why there were relatives and friends everywhere.
"Oh"
"Dad didn't tell me, but he and I are both busy. Sometimes it's hard for us to see each other." Chen Xiaoxin replied awkwardly: "Team Leader Lu"
Before Chen Xiaoxin could finish his words, he interrupted Team Leader Lu and said with a sneer, "What Team Leader Lu? Just call me Uncle Lu. When there are people around, just call me by my title. In private, we can just call each other uncle and nephew."
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Uncle Lu, you are right." Chen Xiaoxin smiled shyly.
After a few pleasantries, Chen Xiaoxin said goodbye to Uncle Lu, because there was a young girl waiting for him at home.
The notice about the application for the special funding project for theoretical physics quickly spread among various universities. Originally, this was not considered breaking news, as this notice was issued every year.
But
This year is different!
Because an unexpected person appeared in the academic leadership team.
Chen Xiaoxin.
He turned out to be the deputy leader of the academic leadership group, responsible for reviewing the academic content of each application project.
For a time,
The theoretical physics community was in an uproar.
This means that the good days of the past are gone forever. If the project does not have innovative foresight and solid research value, it is basically impossible to pass the final review. After all, the signatory is Chen Xiaoxin, one of the top scientists in the fields of mathematics and physics in China!
Trying to fool him in the academic field is as difficult as colonizing Mars.
at the same time,
School of Physics, Peking University.
When they saw this notice, they saw that Chen Xiaoxin was the deputy leader of the academic leadership group and was in charge of their
For a time,
The sky is about to fall in Peking University!!!
