I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

Shen Qi asked Professor Hackman for some graphite-phase nitrogen carbide. It is a light yellow powder, not poisonous, but it cannot be eaten.

"DFT calculations are required here."

"The electronic exchange correlation functional considered in the geometric structure optimization calculation is based on the generalized gradient approximation of the PW91 function. There is no problem with this setting. I am good at the functional."

"Based on this model, then the basis function adopts the TZP basis set calculated by the full electron orbit, and the energy convergence standard is 10 to the negative fourth power eV."

Shen Qi operated the ADF in the computer, and performed TDDFT calculations on graphite-phase nitrogen carbide quantum dots... Beep!

The computer host alarm.

The display is black.

"What's the situation, the game is broken? Are you forcing me to purely brainstorm?"

Shen Qi was speechless. The thesis he created out of his brain was successfully published on PRL. He used the powerful computer simulation function, but the game crashed.

"It seems that the human brain is still reliable, and the computer is out of the chain."

Shen Qi applied to change to a more powerful computer, and this time he was finally able to survive.

Through a large number of computer simulations, Shen Qi has a better understanding of the properties of various specific condensed matter. Combined with a large number of physical and chemical literature, Shen Qi has rapidly accumulated a deeper level of physical and chemical knowledge.

Before the Christmas holiday, Shen Qi received a gift, the American Mathematical Society awarded him the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

The Cole Prize in Number Theory is awarded every five years to reward mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in the field of number theory within five years, and the winner must be a member of the American Mathematical Society.

Shen Qi is a foreign member of the American Mathematical Society. He has made too many outstanding contributions in number theory within five years, and he has undisputedly received the Cole Prize in Number Theory.

The Cole Prize in Number Theory is a big prize, and the system is rated as an A-level mathematics prize.

System: "New achievement! The host won the A-level mathematics award, the Cole Number Theory Award. The basic award is 500,000 Xueba points, multiplied by the mathematics master talent coefficient 2.0, and the final reward is 1 million Xueba points. The balance is 37309092 Xueba points, Please confirm with the host."

Xueba points are about to break through 40 million points, it's time to spend it.

Mathematics is stuck at the 13th level task, and now Shen Qi can't advance to the 14th level even after spending Xueba points.

Then spend it on physics. Shen Qi took out 1,987,265 Xueba points to upgrade physics from level 11 to level 12.

"Continue smashing, physics 12 to 13... Hey, what's going on?" Shen Qi discovered the problem.

The system shows that the conditions for upgrading Physics 12 to 13 are:

1. 4 million/4 million (experience value or Xueba points)

2. Work in the position of physics professor for at least 1 year

"I remember that when Mathematics was upgraded from 12th to 13th grade, there was no task requirement, only from 13th to 14th grade. Why is there a conditional requirement for physics from 12th to 13th grade?"

The system flashed a message: "The host chooses mathematics as the main talent. After the main talent subject reaches level 13, you need to complete the relevant conditions to continue to upgrade. After the other non-main talent subjects reach level 12, you need to complete the relevant conditions to continue to upgrade."

Oh, like this.

The only main talent subject enjoys the care of the system, as long as the student has enough points, he can immediately reach level 13.

The rest of the subjects can only be dropped to level 12, and the upgrade after level 12 needs to complete the task.

There are two conditions for upgrading physics from level 12 to level 13. The first condition is very routine, and 4 million Xueba points are a routine card.

The second condition is to work at the post of physics professor for at least 1 year.

Shen Qi's physical level has been raised to level 12, which is a relatively powerful level among masters.

A master-level physicist applies for a professorship and does not get fired after working for one year. The system does not have strict requirements on Shen Qi.

"It's just... If I want to become a professor of physics, I have to resign as a professor of mathematics. Physics and mathematics really fall in love with each other, unless..."

Shen Qi is not willing to give up his status as a professor of mathematics. The solution he can think of is unless he becomes an honorary (lecture) professor of mathematics at a certain university, and then seeks a formal professorship of physics at another university.

Dual disciplines and dual professors can only operate in this way.

This task is so challenging, hehe...

Shen Qi has a lot of things to do. He is just an ordinary professor in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton. As for physics, he is only a doctoral student at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and he does not yet have the hardware qualifications to apply for a physics professor.

"Mathematics should be promoted to level 14 quickly, and then solve a super difficult problem, and then apply for honorary professor."

"Physics needs to get some grades, get a doctorate, and apply for regular physics professors."

Shen Qi drew up a medium and long-term plan and implemented it according to the plan.

The first two of the three conditions for Mathematics Level 13 to be promoted to Level 14 have been fulfilled, and Xueba has a balance of more than 30 million points, and has won 5 mathematics awards of A level and above.

Only the third condition is left: Instruct students to publish at least one paper in the four major mathematics journals.

After the award ceremony of the Cole Prize in Number Theory, the reporters chased and blocked Shen Qi.

"Professor Shen, this is your tenth mathematics award, please say something!"

"Professor Shen, what is the next problem to overcome?"

Shen Qi replied in a unified way: "I have been in the United States for three years and have won 10 mathematics awards, one of which is the Fields Medal. I don't mean to boast. I hope to pass on my understanding of mathematics to more people. Man, thank you."

Back in Princeton, Shen Qi summoned Yu Lei and Ralph to his office: "I haven't cared about you for a while, how far has your project progressed?"

Yu Lei was full of confidence, with an excited expression on his face: "I've basically got it done, didn't you propose a 'Shen Qi direction' last time? Professor Yi was stunned, hahaha."

"Yu Lei, show me your thesis." Shen Qi felt relieved that Yu Lei's front was satisfactory.

Yu Lei submitted the thesis to Shen Qi, and while reviewing Yu Lei's thesis, Shen Qi asked Ralph, "What about you, Ralph?"

Ralph was a little depressed: "Professor Shen, I learned your logic, relying on commutative super algebra, and comprehensively used matrix elements, Frobenius morphisms, and baby Wilma modules to complete the proof of that lemma , and finally obtain the result of the superior Frobenius nuclear irreducible representation. However, Yale does not agree with my conclusion.”

"Oh, is that so?" Shen Qi quickly scanned Yu Lei's paper, put it aside, and said, "Ralph, show me your paper. Yu Lei, you can go back first, I'll wait I will carefully review your thesis later."

Ralph submitted the thesis to Shen Qi, and Shen Qi focused on reviewing it carefully. After a long time, he said: "Ralph, you did a good job. Although there are some small flaws, it does not affect the overall situation. Then please tell me Specific details, which point or points of your paper does Yale disagree with?"
