Chapter 459 Internationalization

Edward Witten has been very relaxed in the past two years. He and his wife have traveled around the world and have been around the earth for a week. This time, they are browsing the world map twice.

Weiteng is quite wealthy. He enjoys a lifelong teaching chair at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies. He published seventeen academic monographs in his life, and the highest sales volume was "Super String Theory" published in 1987.

The United States has strict protection of intellectual property rights. Weiteng, who has sold academic monographs for decades, is now in a state of lying down and collecting money.

Scholars who do pure theoretical research will also live a glorious life, and Weiteng is a vivid example.

Shen Qi knew that material temptations such as money were difficult to impress Weiteng. If you want to invite a palace-level boss, the more reliable entry point is emotion and feelings: "Edward, do you still remember that morning five years ago? I strolled aimlessly on the big lawn in front of the Advanced Research Institute. I lost my direction for a while. It was you who brought me back on track. You are the most important mentor and friend of my life."

"Talking about the serious matter." Wei Teng said concisely.

Shen Qi said frankly: "I want to hire you as a visiting professor in my department. I will tell the school that they will definitely agree. I hope you can help us in physics, mathematics and physics, etc."

"I think about it. I see you in about a week... Erin, have you reached our number? Qi, this is the case first, bye." Weiteng on the phone seemed very busy, and the background sound was similar to the noisy environment of a restaurant. Hong Kong people spoke Cantonese, and Weiteng and his wife were waiting in line for meals.

The rich old American men and women are very good at enjoying life. When they retire, they just play around the world. The Witten couple should be waiting in Hong Kong for lunch.

A week later, Weiteng and his wife arrived at Yanda as promised.

Today is Saturday, and Shen Qi took Weiteng to visit Shen Qi's Mathematical Research Center alone: ​​"Edward, this is my territory, it's not bad."

"The area is large enough, about twice the area of ​​Princeton Advanced Institute."

"Edward, what are you thinking about my proposal last week?" Shen Qi asked.

"Are you a visiting professor? That's so strange, what do I need to do?"

"N-s equation, we are ready to formally attack this project, Edward, we need your advice."

"Is the n-s equation? I think it should be fine." Weiteng said this. After all, the old man talks about feelings. When Shen Qi got married, he flew from the United States to China to attend the wedding, which shows Shen Qi's position in the mind of Mr. Weiteng.

"Wow, cool." Shen Qi was very happy. His center was about to usher in a strong support from a big boss, which means that the center has taken a solid step on the road to internationalization.

"In fact, the n-s equation will be led and advanced by our center's mathematical team." Shen Qi briefly introduced the organizational structure of the center.

"It is actually better to have the mathematical team take charge of this project." Weiteng agreed to conquer the n-s equation with mathematicians as the main force.

Shen Qi said again: "There are three physical problems that have always troubled me. First, the lifetime of protons. Second, the black hole information paradox. Third, the basic degree of freedom explanation of m theory. These are all problems in theoretical physics and will be studied in-depth by our central physics team. The third problem is what you are most familiar with Edward."

The third question is closely related to chord theory, Weiteng asked: "Qi, what do you want to do?"

Shen Qi smiled and said, "I want to answer this question, with you, Edward."

"Are you serious?" Weiteng suddenly shook for a moment. Maybe I was talking about the boy's crazy.

Weiteng's famous book "Superstring Theory" is known as the Bible in the theoretical physics world, and countless physicists read it at night.

If you are so popular, you may be talking about Weiteng.

Even though Weiteng has a godfather status in the theoretical physics world, the Nobel Prize has no chance of being with him.

Over the years, the old man has almost become indifferent.

But life is sometimes very sexy. When you are full of expectations, she is indifferent to you. When you are approaching a state of abstinence with pure hearts and few desires, she teases you and makes you burn your desire again.

Shen Qi decided to study the basic freedom explanation of m theory with Weiteng, and Weiteng was flirted with.

The two of them came to the second floor while talking and laughing. Weiteng discovered that the second floor was a laboratory, but there was no equipment related to proton lifespan, black hole information paradox, and m theory.

"There are all equipment for material preparation and testing," said Weiteng.

"As you can see, yes, it's all experimental equipment related to condensed matter physical materials. Did you know Edward, I have to do some application projects, otherwise I won't be able to support so many excellent employees." Shen Qi explained, taking Weiteng to the third floor.

Half of the rooms on the third floor are empty, and the other half is decorated for a casual leisure, including a cafe, gym, calligraphy and painting studio, chess and card rooms, and audio and video entertainment rooms. It is like coming to an entertainment club.

"It seems you are very good to the employees." Weiteng praised.

"It's a pity that the usage rate of other entertainment and leisure facilities is quite low except for the cafe. They are too busy to have no time to relax. This is not the situation I want to see." Shen Qi shook his head and smiled helplessly. He was also quite busy.

"Hey, this cafe is arranged in the style of Princeton's Mathematics Department cafe." Weiteng entered the cafe for a walk.

"Do you like it here, Edward?"

"The hardware is great, but I always feel that there is less humanistic atmosphere." Weiteng came to this conclusion.

You are right. The humanistic atmosphere of Princeton’s mathematics department is caused by more than a dozen Philippine award-winning bigwigs gathering together to drink coffee every day, and it has been accumulated over time... Shen Qi and Weiteng came to the fourth floor. He said: "My office is on the fourth floor. Edward, a visiting professor, doesn’t have to stay at Yan University every month. Your office is also on the fourth floor. When you were at Yan University, you worked here. I wonder if you are satisfied?"

"It looks pretty good... God, why do you have animals here? Monkeys?" Wei Teng visited with interest and suddenly found several monkeys, which was quite surprised.

Shen Qi explained: "They are experimental animals, they are great heroes."

Weitengxian’s doubts: “Why do experimental animals need to be found, n-s equation, m theory, or condensed matter physics?”

"Because this laboratory is a chemical laboratory, it is currently mainly conducting drug research." Shen Qi brought Weiteng to Laboratory 401.

Looking at the room of chemical instruments and raw materials, Weiteng was shocked: "Qi, do you really want to study chemistry, drugs, and monkeys?"

"Do you think I'm joking? I also have to study the unification of mathematics. To be honest, Edward, I'm under a lot of pressure, so I urgently need your help. Even if you can only stay in Yanda for two months a year, it will be of great help to me."

"N-s equation, m theory, proton lifetime, black hole information paradox, condensed matter physics, chemical synthesis, drug preparation, monkeys, mathematics unification..." Weiteng connected all the information and came to an amazing conclusion: "I understand, Qi, you want to dominate the world before you are forty."
