This dinner actually made Zhao Xiancai know a lot of things from the past.

After all, many of the academicians present were introduced to him by Yang Gang before, and many of these academicians were born in the 1930s and 1940s, and are now in their 70s and 80s.

They have experienced some things personally, so they naturally know more about them.

"We old guys have only been alive for a few years. We never expected to see a genius like you emerge from the Chinese mathematics community."

"Yes, with you here, we can feel relieved. I believe that our country's mathematics will get better and better in the near future..."

…

After the dinner was over, Yang Gang found Zhao Xiancai again on his way back to his room in the hotel.

"These old academicians also want to meet you, so I arranged this meeting for you without telling you in advance. I hope you don't mind too much."

After Yang Gang found Zhao Xiancai, he said to him.

From the time Zhao Xiancai met them until the end of dinner, Yang Gang never had a chance to talk to Zhao Xiancai alone.

This time Zhao Xiancai finished his meal and said goodbye to the old academicians before going back to his room to give Yang Gang a chance.

"It's okay, why would I care about such a small thing."

Zhao Xiancai said, and waited for Yang Gang to say the next words.

Every time Yang Gang came to him, something happened, so this time Yang Gang came to him, Zhao Xiancai was sure that Yang Gang couldn't come to him alone just to say such a thing.

Moreover, as Yang Gang is the vice president of the Chinese Mathematical Society, he will attend the next three meetings of the Mathematical Society.

"Just don't care.

You must be able to tell that the old academicians you met today are very satisfied with you, and it can even be said that they like you.

They all have great prestige in the domestic mathematics community. If you return to China in the future, they will be of great help to your development."

Yang Gang said.

"Help? What kind of help? Does Vice President Yang mean that if I come back to China to study mathematics problems in the future and I encounter something I don't know, I can ask them?

Isn’t this a bit bad?”

After listening to what Yang Gang said, Zhao Xiancai looked puzzled and thought to himself.

These old academicians were all in their seventies or even eighties. Zhao Xiancai felt that even if he really had any academic questions in the future, asking them would be of no use.

After all, as people get older, their brains slow down. For twenty-year-olds like Zhao Xiancai, their brains are at their peak speed.

Moreover, Zhao Xiancai believes that with the blessing of the two skills of [Study Hard] and [Flow State], if he has any math problems that he cannot solve, it is unlikely that others will have any good solutions.

Naturally, Yang Gang saw something from Zhao Xiancai's puzzled expression, and explained to him: "Actually, I want to wait until you come back from the United States, and if you return to Beijing University, I will apply for you to be an academician candidate.

"

"Application for me to be an academician candidate?"

After hearing what Yang Gang said, Zhao Xiancai was also surprised.

Although Academician Sun did say something to him before, even though he is still young, he should know some things in this regard. In China, there is only an upper limit and no lower limit for the age of academician candidates.

But Zhao Xiancai really never thought about having someone apply for him as an academician candidate.

After all, he is still so young, and he doesn't care much about these honors.

But now I heard what Yang Gang said, and combined with this return to China to attend this annual meeting, Yang Gang introduced himself to these highly respected academicians in the field of mathematics, and just said something like these old academicians being very satisfied with him.

Zhao Xiancai could also guess that Yang Gang's calculation this time probably started when he promised to come back to attend this year's annual academic meeting of the Chinese Mathematical Society.

"Well, with your achievements, even if you were only in your twenties when you applied for academicianship, not many people would say anything.

Moreover, these old academicians are also very satisfied with you now. If the school will apply for you as an academician candidate later, and even if you encounter some resistance during the selection process, it will definitely not be too big."

Yang Gang is quite confident.

"As for applying for academicianship, I haven't thought about it yet. I will discuss this matter later when I return to China."

After Zhao Xiancai thought for a while, he said to Yang Gang.

After saying this, Zhao Xiancai continued to say to him: "But... in the next period of time, I plan to focus on physics. I also said something about this when I returned to Beijing University last time."

"I know that the selection of academicians is based on your previous achievements, not your future plans.

Only when your personal behavior seriously violates scientific ethics, or is a serious misconduct that seriously damages the reputation of the academician community and the academic department, will the Academy of Sciences advise you to give up the title of academician.

If these circumstances are particularly serious, endangering national interests and violating national laws, the above will revoke your academician title.

As long as there are no such circumstances, even if you do not change your nationality after becoming an academician, or even if you lie at home and play games every day, it will not have any impact on your status as an academician."

Yang Gang said.

In fact, there is one thing that he and the previous veteran academicians have not mentioned yet, that is, even if you are a foreign national, you can apply for domestic academicianship, but the name you apply for is foreign academician.

"Besides, if you really achieve something in the field of physics, you might be able to apply for membership in the National Academy of Engineering."

Finally, Yang Gang added with a smile.

However, he obviously means that by saying this, after all, it is impossible to become a "double academician" as an exception.

Because academicians of both academies are not actually elected naturally, when the Chinese Academy of Engineering was first established in 1994, in order to increase their influence, they hired a group of outstanding talents from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to serve as academicians of the Academy of Engineering.

After 1995, the Academy of Engineering never did this again, so Double Academician was out of print.

"I……"

"Okay, I'm quite busy tonight. I have several meetings. It's hard to find some time this time.

If there is anything else to do later, let’s wait until tomorrow. I’ll leave first, otherwise I’ll be late.”

Originally, Zhao Xiancai was about to say something more, but as soon as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by Yang Gang.

After Yang Gang finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the conference room. The three meetings tonight were all in Hall 2 on the third floor of the Great Hall.

"Academician? Why am I applying for academician without even realizing it?"

Looking at Yang Gang's leaving figure, Zhao Xiancai also murmured.

If Yang Gang hadn't mentioned this matter today, Zhao Xiancai would have always felt that the status of an academician was still far away from him.
