Chapter 359
Academician Pan was particularly surprised: "You have prepared the goods so soon? What I want is the manuscript of Einstein's "The Universe in My Eyes"!"
Academician Pan has a certain sense of anti-reconnaissance. Shen Qi followed Academician Pan's words and said: "It is said that the manuscript of Einstein's review article has long been lost. I have worked a lot to get the German translation of Godel from an American friend."
"So what you call goods is actually Gödel's manuscript?" Academician Pan asked.
Shen Qi asked back: "Academician Pan, please be more cheerful, I will ask you, do you want it or not? Where are you going to do Einstein's manuscripts these days?"
Academician Pan quickly said: "Godel is just Godel, I want it! I dare not trouble our Philippine Award winner to deliver goods to my door. I have a student who happened to be on a business trip in the United States. I will ask him to visit you at Pak University. Just hand over Godel's German version of the manuscript to him. Thank you, Shen Qi, collecting manuscripts from famous physicists is my little hobby. Thank you for helping me fulfill my wish. I won't say much, I will always remember your goodness."
The next day, a Chinese physics researcher came to Princeton. He was a student of Academician Pan and was traveling on a business trip to the United States for a project.
The goods handover went very smoothly. A Chinese professor handed over a file bag to a Chinese researcher who was on a business trip to the United States. The ordinary operations would not attract any attention.
"Professor Shen, I thank you on behalf of Academician Pan." The researcher shook hands with Shen Qi, with a calm expression and an excited heart. You can feel it from the strength of his handshake.
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, please give me a message to Academician Pan. I hope Academician Pan can once again set a world record in the field of quantum and allow the Chinese team to firmly sit in the world's number one."
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring this."
"Take care and be safe all the way."
"Take care too, Professor Shen."
Yan Gong and Shen Qi met in just a few minutes and said goodbye, everything was silent.
Before the Christmas holiday, all professors from Princeton Mathematics Department held a concentrated meeting to summarize the achievements and shortcomings this year and look forward to the coming year.
Shen Qi ranked seventh in the department in the professional assessment of professors this year, one place down from the same period last year.
"I did not produce much results in mathematics this year." Shen Qi made profound self-criticism. He did not write a math monograph this year, and he did not complete a math paper as the first author.
Yu Lei and Ralph published two papers under the guidance of Shen Qi and published them in four major mathematics journals. This is the only two formal research results of Shen Qi this year and the research results completed as a supervisor.
"Qi, you are busy with physics, and human energy is limited after all." Director Feverman said that all colleagues in the department knew that Shen Qi was keen on earthquake prediction in the first half of this year, which took Shen Qi a lot of time and energy.
Shen Qi came to General University for a master's degree at the age of 20. The then head of the mathematics department was Charles Feverman.
Next month, Shen Qi will turn 25 years old, and Feverman is still the head of the mathematics department.
"My energy is also limited. My term as the second math department chair will end next year. Hey, I'm already 70 years old. Should you find someone to take over me?" Director Ferverman looked around for a week and felt tired.
The unwritten rule of the Mathematics Department of General University is that the head of the Mathematics Department changes its term every three years, and everyone takes turns to be the director.
The top leaders of Chinese universities have almost absolute power, not like this in the United States, and even more so in Princeton. Princeton’s principal is a history professor, and he also has to teach undergraduates. If he doesn’t teach well, he will be scolded.
The head of the Mathematics Department of General University has some power, but more of it is to serve the people.
After the term of Ferverman's first math department chair ended, all the full professors in the department suggested that Ferverman be re-elected as the department chair.
In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and the term of Ferverman's second department chair will end next year. The former math prodigy, now a 70-year-old man, doesn't want to do it anymore. It's meaningless to be a leader in the United States.
"Charles, no one in Princeton's mathematics department has more prestige than you. I think you can become the department chair for another term." Professor Linden Strauss made a suggestion.
Feverman suddenly exploded: "Three years later and three years later and three years later!"
Puff ~
Shen Qi was so happy that a sip of coffee almost spit out.
Feverman looked at Shen Qi: "Qi, you will be the next department director."
Shen Qi waved his hand and said, "Charles, this is not suitable. I am too young."
All the mathematics professors here, including Feverman, are smart people with super IQs. Feverman said regretfully: "Odd, so one day you will still leave Princeton."
"Hu..." Shen Qi sighed softly, not saying anything. He has been in the Mathematics Department of General University for almost 5 years, and the people here are very nice to him. If there is a pure land in the United States, for Shen Qi, this pure land is the Princeton Mathematics Department.
Shen Qi said sincerely: "I studied in Princeton and worked far more than I did in China. No matter what, I love Princeton, she prospered by the power of God."
“She has flourished by the power of God,” said Feverman, a Philadelphia winner.
"She prospers with the power of God," said Faltings, the German Philippine Prize winner.
"She prospers with the power of God," said Linden Strauss, the Israeli Philippine Prize winner.
More than half of the non-American professors in the Department of Mathematics of General University. Historical data shows that non-American mathematics professors of General University who have not become American citizen finally returned to their respective motherlands.
Some things cannot be forced, Feverman said to Shen Qi: "Qi, thank you for your contribution to Princeton over the past five years. No matter where you go, you will always be Princeton's best alumni. I would like to make a small request to you, proof of Hodge's conjecture, and hope you can complete it as a Princeton professor of mathematics."
"I can promise you this, Charles." Shen Qi immediately promised that Hodge guessed that it was a gift he was going to offer to China, and perhaps the last gift he left to Princeton.
After the professors' meeting, Shen Qi, Yu Lei and Ralph discussed the progress of the Algebraic geometry section of Hodge's conjecture.
"The progress is smooth. Yu Lei, Ralph, thank you for your hard work. Enjoy the upcoming Christmas holiday. After the holiday is over, we will launch a general attack on this topic!" Shen Qi was satisfied with the attitude of the two doctoral students to actively overcome the difficult problems.
In China, Shen Qi called Yan Dalu Guozhen and Director Wu of the Morningside Mathematics Center.
Shen Qi learned that relevant national ministries and commissions attached great importance to two basic mathematics projects led by him.
Lu Guozhen's Mathematical Analysis Section of the Hodge Conjecture and Director Wu's Topology Section all applied for the 973 project, and the two projects were established separately. The three armies used their lives to overcome the super difficult problem of the Hodge Conjecture.
