Chapter 338: Become the best in the world
this day,
The results of the National Outstanding Young Scholars selection have finally been announced!

Chen Xiaoxin and Yan Xiaoxi were easily included in the list, and they were only one science and technology award away from becoming the final academician.

Many people think that being rich and being an Outstanding Young Scientist are titles and honors, and are the watershed that distinguishes talents. Some people also think that if one cannot be rated as an Outstanding Young Scientist or an Outstanding Young Scientist, then the other person cannot be considered a talent. Indeed, the actual situation is like this. Being an Outstanding Young Scientist or an Outstanding Young Scientist is a watershed that distinguishes "talents" in China.

The most direct proof is salary income. From ordinary professors to excellent young professors and then to outstanding young professors, the salary will jump from six figures to seven figures. The most important thing is the substantial increase in project funds, human resources, and experimental equipment resources.

Needless to say about the vertical aspect. If you don't have the Outstanding Young Scientist or the Excellent Young Scientist, you can't even get on the table, let alone participate in the key projects. Of course, Chen Xiaoxin's case is extremely special. As for the funding, without the Outstanding Young Scientist or the Excellent Young Scientist, applying for a project is like a football, being kicked around in various ways. But it's different for the Outstanding Young Scientist. Others bring projects to your door and give you money.

Projects worth one or two million will make them smile, projects worth five or six million will roll their eyes, and projects worth more than ten million will nod their heads. This is the importance of the hat. Without the hat, you can't make a single move in the scientific research circle. With the hat, every road leads to Rome.

of course,

The title is not the whole of scientific research. What really affects the development of scientific research is not the title but the resources given behind the hat. However, for someone like Chen Xiaoxin who has achieved double breakthroughs in mathematics and physics in just half a year, and they are major world-class breakthroughs, then the title of Young Elite Scientist is indeed an optional one.

“We have class today.”

The long-awaited open class returned for a limited time. Chen Xiaoxin stood in front of the podium, holding the lesson plan written by a young woman, and began to read according to the contents. Ever since he was frustrated by Academician Ma, he had felt despair about the cause of education, a deep despair.

Two hours
Chen Xiaoxin didn't know how he managed to get through it. Anyway, he didn't have any hope that anyone would understand what he was saying, so he left quietly.

This open class has been held four times, and no one has asked any questions so far. However, Chen Xiaoxin is quite happy to see such a result. His ears are at peace and he feels free. But he doesn't know how long it can last.

Currently
Chen Xiaoxin has a lot of things on his plate. He needs to continue to follow up on the controlled nuclear fusion project, quantum algorithms, and the Young Elite Scholars Project. He needs to pay more attention to the topological state and fractionalization of quantum systems, and also explore the content of mathematics.
"Ouch"

“I feel like I’m going to die.”

After returning to the office, Chen Xiaoxin was lazily lying on the chair, portraying a look of despair to the fullest extent.

at this time,

Yan Xiaoxi hurried in, and seeing the half-dead man, she said angrily: "If you really have nothing to do, why don't you go to the lab? You are the project leader, right? Let me ask you, how many times have you been to the lab? Have they seen you? You can't leave everything to me, I still have classes!"

"I can not make it."

"It's like... it's like I drank fake wine." Chen Xiaoxin muttered to himself in a daze: "Honey, I might have to go home this afternoon."

Yan Xiaoxi smiled coldly and asked calmly, "Are you going home to play Black Myth or Earth Core War? Don't pretend in front of me. I already know what you are up to. Stay here! If you dare to go home, I will kill you tonight!"

Chen Xiaoxin shrank his neck, and smiled awkwardly but tenderly: "I was just joking with you. How could I bear to leave you here? By the way, have Academician Pan and his team made any new moves recently?"

"No."

“It disappeared.”

"I guess the public opinion didn't affect you, so you gave up." Yan Xiaoxi sat in front of him and said leisurely: "There are rumors about you in the three major mathematics awards. If nothing unexpected happens, you should have won all of them."

"is it?"

Chen Xiaoxin yawned and replied softly, "It doesn't matter. I'm just thinking about asking the finance department to give out bonuses as soon as possible."

Speaking of the bonus, Chen Xiaoxin was furious. He had been urging for several days, but it had not been issued yet. When he asked about it, he was told that the procedures were still going through. It had been so long and it still hadn't been completed.

"Hasn't it been sent yet?"

Yan Xiaoxi frowned and said coldly: "What are you doing! I'll go find them now."

As soon as the words fell,
Yan Xiaoxi stood up and walked away angrily.

Looking at her back as she left angrily, Chen Xiaoxin knew that the bonus would be paid out soon. But then again, her temper had been very bad these past two days. She might have her period!
"Uh"

"It must be my period!"

"Oh my god, I'm finally saved!"

Chen Xiaoxin burst into tears immediately, and was so excited that he almost vomited blood. Seriously speaking, the girl at home was really full of energy every night, and there was no end to her energy.

the other side,
Yan Xiaoxi came to the school's finance office and saw a group of middle-aged women chatting and eating snacks. Almost no one was working. Suddenly, a surge of anger surged from her heart, and she asked with a dark face: "Where is your leader?"

In Fuda.
Although Chen Xiaoxin is more famous than Yan Xiaoxi, it is more of a respect for him, and the real fear is Yan Xiaoxi
When these middle-aged women in administrative positions saw Yan Xiaoxi, they immediately showed a trace of panic and uneasiness on their faces. Although they were all relatives of school leaders, they were always arrogant and acted like bosses on weekdays, and their attitudes towards students and young teachers were as bad as possible.

However, when facing Yan Xiaoxi, these people lost their former spirit. They all lowered their heads and dared not look her in the face.

"exist"

"in office."

A middle-aged woman answered cautiously.

Yan Xiaoxi walked silently towards the inner office with a dark face, knocked politely, and saw the middle-aged man in front of him. He said coldly: "When will Chen Xiaoxin and I get our bonuses?"

"strict"

"Professor Yan."

When the middle-aged leader saw Yan Xiaoxi, he timidly replied, "Professor Yan, it's not that we don't want to give it to you, but we are really going through the procedures. We don't know what the problem is. The relevant documents are always returned, either here or there."

"Who?"

Yan Xiaoxi asked: "Which department?"

Then the leader told her the specific department. Yan Xiaoxi did not hesitate and directly picked up the phone in front of him and dialed a number. It was a number in Beijing, and the first thing she did was call him "Uncle". It can be imagined how high the other party's level is.

hang up the phone
Yan Xiaoxi sat in the office without saying a word. The leader didn't dare to speak either. He carefully poured her a glass of water. Then ten minutes later a phone call came in.

"Hey?"

"Yeah, okay, okay, okay."

Hanging up the phone, the leader said respectfully, "Professor Yan's bonus will be credited to your account this Friday."

"understood."

Yan Xiaoxi stood up and prepared to leave with an expressionless face. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "There are some problems with the work attitude of the staff in your department. Although I am not a school leader, I don't like it very much." Without waiting for him to reply.
Yan Xiaoxi just walked away.

In an instant,
The leader felt like the sky was about to fall. He had just witnessed everything that happened. A line from a drama could best describe it: There was a noble lady with great powers who actually called my front-line command post!

Then it will be bigger.
Mentioning a certain school leader may not work, but mentioning Yan Xiaoxi will definitely work!
In order to fulfill his promise, Chen Xiaoxin has handed over the "fission algorithm" to Academician Guo, and he has also become a partner of Academician Guo's project. However, due to the influence of equipment performance, this quantum algorithm cannot be fully used at present.

I once wanted to create a weakened version of the algorithm, but after much thought, I gave up. First, I didn’t have the time, and second, there was no need to do so.

"The elementary excitations of topological order are often fractional excitations, which satisfy the statistics of Abelian or non-Abelian anyons." In a conference room, Chen Xiaoxin said to his team members earnestly: "Fractional excitations are generally topologically stable. They cannot be generated or eliminated individually through local perturbations."

He was explaining the research content of the project while also giving a lecture, saying: "Of course, local perturbations often create or annihilate two or more fractional excitations at the same time, and we need to extend the concept of the whole to the gapless system."

As soon as the words fell,
He stood up and wrote quickly in front of the board.
This group of postgraduate students were like chicken blood, taking notes desperately. These contents were treasures to them, although they did not understand them yet.

Blah blah
Chen Xiaoxin spoke for a full half hour and basically covered the key points of the entire topic. Looking at the group of confused graduate students, whose emotions were as calm as still water, he knew what these people were here for and did not hold out much hope at all. The real hope was those postdoctoral fellows.

Chen Xiaoxin left the rest of the time to Yan Xiaoxi, and when he returned to his office, he turned on the academic master mode and carefully studied a strongly correlated electronic flat band with non-trivial topological properties. This step was very important for the next experiment and almost determined life and death.

"Hey?"

“Uh-oh.”

Chen Xiaoxin curled her lips and replied softly, "I see. Please send it to me."

The caller was Chu Yi, and he came to ask about the operation of controlled nuclear fusion. The operation time of several laboratories so far has exceeded one hour, but for some reason, there is a slight deviation in the data, which means that there is a gap in the process.

This is a hidden danger! A very big hidden danger! But the people in the Plasma Research Institute can hardly solve it. They can't figure it out no matter how hard they think.

After receiving a file, Chen Xiaoxin clicked on it and took a look at it. At the same time, he also turned on his "brain overclocking" skill and analyzed the data above at the fastest speed. In less than five minutes, he knew where the problem lay.

"Director Chu."

"I think this tiny drop is caused by the rotation of the earth and will not have any impact." Chen Xiaoxin explained: "My suggestion is to run the experiment for two hours. As long as the time is longer, the drop value will be corrected by itself."

two.
Two hours?

Chu Yi's scalp went numb when he heard what Chen Xiaoxin said.

"Xiao Chen."

"Two hours. Are you sure?" Chu Yi was a little panicked. Normally, the experimental process would proceed slowly, in increments of five or ten minutes, but Chen Xiaoxin started directly with one hour.

"no problem."

Chen Xiaoxin smiled innocently and said, "If there are any accidents, I will be responsible."

"Don't"

"That's not what I meant." Chu Yi said earnestly, "The span from one hour to two hours is a bit exaggerated. There's no such thing in the world."

"Director Chu."

"If we do it, we must become the best in the world. Believe me, we can do it!" said Chen Xiaoxin.

Chu Yi was silent for a long time and then spoke carefully: "I need to ask my leader for instructions on this. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

When you hang up the call,

Chu Yi dialed the number of the person in charge immediately.

"lead."

"There is something I need to report to you."

"Professor Chen Xiaoxin hopes to run the experiment for two hours." Chu Yi asked cautiously: "What do you think?"

"You are the person in charge of the project, why do you still ask me?" The other party laughed unhappily: "Don't you want to take this responsibility?"

"No no no!"

Chu Yi hurriedly explained: "I'm just a little undecided. Although Professor Chen Xiaoxin is the chief scientist of the project, the experimental plan he proposed is too radical."

"Uh"

"Is it an equipment problem or a technical problem?" the leader asked.

"It's a question of courage." Chu Yi answered honestly.

"now that."

"Since Chen Xiaoxin is so sure, I am willing to believe him. I will sign for this experiment." The leader said seriously: "Do it for me!!"

United States,

California,

Livermore National Laboratory.

It is home to the world's largest nuclear reactor project and the world's first sustainable fusion reactor.

American scientists call this project "Creating a Miniature Star on Earth," and although it may look like any ordinary building, behind its closed doors lies the answer to America's future of secure renewable energy.

However.
Today!
This group of scientists who were determined to create "micro stars" suddenly learned of shocking bad news.

"what!"

"China's controlled nuclear fusion device has been running stably for two hours?!"
