Into Unscientific

Return together.

The moment these two words came out of Xiao Yang's mouth.

The breathing of Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun, who were sitting next to him, stopped for a moment, and their hearts started beating loudly.

Even though Xiao Yang is more than ten years younger than him and Li Jingjun, he is the well-deserved "little brother" among the three.

But in fact.

Among all the Chinese studying in the United States today, Xiao Yang and another Xiao Li, who have gone their separate ways, are actually the two scholars with the highest status and achievements - because they have just won the Nobel Prize.

At the same time, their youth is not the kind of 20 or 30-year-olds who are talkative and unreliable, but they are close to forty in the prime of life.

At the same time, because of this.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Li are also among the scholars who are most difficult to be persuaded to return to China. They belong to the highest level of the Chinese in various senses.

The result was unexpected.

Now with the publication of the paper "Physical Review Letters", Xiao Yang has suddenly changed his attitude?

This was a piece of wood that his father, Yang Wuzhi, didn't even try to persuade.

In fact, it is not just Xiao Yang. Once the decision made by any of the three people on the scene is spread, it may cause huge social discussions.

after all

The abilities of Chen Shengshen and Li Jingjun are not guaranteed either.

Today, Chen Shengshen's international reputation even exceeds that of Hua Luogeng, who has returned to China. He is a well-deserved elder brother in the Chinese mathematics community and one of the greatest geometers of the contemporary era.

Li Jingjun may be less famous than Chen Shengshen in later generations, but he is equally influential in today's era and is a figure who is the originator of population genetics.

If someone in later generations asks why China has no founder of the school, many people will point to Li Jingjun as a rebuttal answer, which shows how special his status is.

There are also randomized double-blind experiments that many people are familiar with. This concept was actually invented by Li Jingjun.

Not long ago, Xiao Yang specifically mentioned Watson's DNA double helix structure in order to facilitate the explanation of the concept of the paper, and Watson had asked Li Jingjun for knowledge on genetics.

Nowadays, DNA research is gradually being taken seriously, and Li Jingjun's status is rising almost every day.

Not an exaggeration.

If any one of the three people present can return to the country, it will be enough to make the country happy.

Now all three of them have thought of returning to the mainland.

This is obviously news that far exceeds expectations.

"."

Then a moment passed.

Li Jingjun took a deep breath and said to Chen Shengshen and Xiao Yang:

"Save yourself, Xiao Yang. It's a good thing that everyone is willing to return to China, but I think we still need to discuss how to operate it."

"After all, it's impossible for us across the sea to just let us go back home. Those people are very clever."

"It was so difficult for Guang Yaluogeng and the others to return home back then. I guess it won't be easy for us this time either."

Hear this.

Chen Shengshen and Xiao Yang both nodded with heavy expressions.

In this period, many scholars choose to stay across the sea. In addition to the various reasons mentioned earlier, there is also an implicit reason:

The other side of the sea will definitely put obstacles in the way for patriotic international students who want to return to China.

And the stronger your ability, the more severe the obstacles will usually be.

Of course.

These days, the opposite side of the sea is relatively less shameful, and the upper limit of blocking methods is usually house arrest, which is a little softer than some of the extreme methods of later generations.

but

For patriotic scholars who want to return to China, this is indeed a real obstacle that needs to be considered.

Moreover, a large part of the reason why those on the other side of the sea did not choose to threaten their lives was that they had certain concerns, such as the reserve of "big countries", international public opinion, the influence of international students' own social circles, etc.

While this concern seems solid, it is actually very weak.

No one can tell when the other side of the turret will suddenly become impatient or enlightened, and understand that it takes all the strength to fight a tiger against a rabbit, and the window paper will be broken if the situation is not secured.

Especially the current Chen Shengshen and Xiao Yang's value to Haidian is really not much lower than that of Qian Wushi and others.

Therefore, how to make a complete plan for returning to China is indeed a question that Chen Shengshen and the others have to think about - make a decision before taking action.

Less than half a minute later.

Chen Shengshen suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but look at Li Jingjun again and asked him:

"By the way, Jingjun, have you been contacted by the country these days? Did you tell you how to implement what was said in the letter?"

Li Jingjun shook his head gently:

"not yet."

What Chen Shengshen was talking about was naturally what was mentioned in the original letter. In addition to telling Li Jingjun not to worry about his job after returning to China, the letter also asked him to recruit as many Chinese students as possible to return to China with him.

The letter promised that no matter how many people Li Jingjun could bring back, the country could smoothly send these international students back to the country.

However, apart from the commitment, the letter did not mention the specific operating procedures, so Chen Shengshen and others were somewhat concerned.

more importantly.

If they don't have a detailed plan for this kind of thing, Li Jingjun and the others won't dare to involve other Chinese compatriots, right?

It's okay if something happens to you, but if you cheat your compatriots, they will really die of shame.

And just when Chen Shengshen's expression was a little dark and incomprehensible.

Suddenly a man hurriedly appeared on the lawn not far away.

This man was about thirty years old, with a typical Jewish complexion. He was holding a briefcase in his hand, and he started looking around from a distance.

There was no one around this small forest at this time, and Chen Shengshen spotted the other party’s traces at a glance:

"Um, Adam?"

Then he thought of something else, turned to Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang and added:

"This is my disciple and assistant, Smith Adam, an American Jew."

Li Jingjun nodded understandingly.

All three of them are currently qualified to recruit graduate students, and the school usually provides them with an assistant, which is very common among scholars studying in the United States.

Adam obviously came here for himself, so Chen Shengshen waved to him:

"Hey Adam, I'm here!"

Adam quickly looked towards the grove from the direction of the sound, and immediately looked happy when he saw Chen Sheng behind him.

I saw him trotting all the way to the edge of the woods and said to Chen Shengshen:

"Professor Hu, I finally found you. Ms. Thalia in the mailroom told me that you went south."

Chen Shengshen nodded towards him:

"Adam, why are you here? What's the matter?"

When Adam heard this, his expression immediately became serious and he said:

"Well, there's something - a scholar from MIT just wanted to visit you, but he couldn't contact you personally."

"So I asked him to wait in the office first, and I came out to find you. Do you want to see him?"

"A scholar from MIT?"

Chen Shengshen immediately frowned, and his mind quickly ran through the people he knew:

"I don't have any acquaintances at MIT."

MIT is the abbreviation of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Chen Shengshen studied at the University of Hamburg in the early years, and later went to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for two years. After returning to the United States, he first worked as a tutor at the University of Chicago for ten years, and then came to Berkeley as a professor at the beginning of last year.

So he really has no connection with MIT, and he doesn’t have many friends who work at MIT in his simple interpersonal circle.

Adam glanced at him and said weakly:

"Professor, the visitor's name is John Crump. I checked the Ivy League Yellow Pages and his identity is indeed the director of the MIT Accelerator Laboratory."

"John Crump?"

Chen Shengshen was stunned for a few more seconds, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere.

However, this trance state only lasted for a short time, and Chen Shengshen suddenly thought of something.

I saw him taking the "Physical Review Letters" from Xiao Yang's hand, flipping through it a few times, and quickly locked on a certain column:

"John Crump, one of the external review editors of Physical Review Letters, the chief reviewer of this paper?"

See here.

Chen Shengshen couldn't help but look up at Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang. The three of them all saw an idea in each other's eyes:

This John Crump might bring them some special news!

"I remembered."

Then Li Jingjun suddenly patted his forehead again and recalled something he had heard earlier:

"It is said that Mr. Qu Runpu has a very good relationship with Zhao Zhongyao. He helped the first electrostatic accelerator in China. Could it be said?"

Li Jingjun didn't finish his words, but the other people at the scene immediately understood his thoughts:

Could it be that.

Is this John Crump really related to the mainland?

Then Chen Shengshen couldn't help but look at his student and assistant Adam, and asked:

"Adam, Mr. John is still in my office?"

"That's right."

"Then take me to see him quickly!"

Say it.

Chen Shengshen packed up his briefcase and other things, and the group quickly left the woods.

The mailroom is located in the southeast corner of Berkeley University, not far from the office area - after all, it is for the convenience of faculty and staff to receive express mail.

So less than ten minutes.

The group of people came to the second floor where Chen Shengshen's office was located.

After arriving at the entrance of the office, Adam wisely took a step back:

"Professor, I won't go in with you."

"Good work, Adam."

Chen Shengshen patted Adam on the shoulder to express his gratitude, and then led Li Jingjun and Xiao Yang closer to the house.

Chen Shengshen's office is not big, only about ten square meters. There is a desk and a small bookshelf inside. There is a small fireplace on the left, and there is a blank blanket on the floor. It is obviously a Western-style office style.

At this moment.

There was a bald white man sitting on the chair in the room, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and reading it with gusto - even though he was holding it upside down.

I don't know if I heard the sound of the door opening.

When Chen Shengshen and others entered the house, the white man subconsciously turned his head and looked outside the door.

After seeing Chen Shengshen and others, he was slightly startled, then suddenly stood up from his seat and walked quickly to Chen Shengshen:

"Professor Chen, hello, my name is John Crump. I'm sorry that I read your book privately without your permission."

Hearing this, Chen Shengshen smiled and waved his hand:

"It's okay, Mr. John, if you are interested in Chinese culture, I can give you some books later."

"For example, "Confucius", "The Book of Songs", "Jin Ping Mei", "The Analects of Confucius" and so on."

After calmly wiping away John's embarrassment, Chen Shengshen took the initiative to shake hands with John:

"By the way, let me introduce you formally, I am Chen Shengshen, a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Berkeley University."

"These two are my friends and compatriots, Mr. Li Jingjun and Mr. Yang Zhenning."

John shook hands with several people politely, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yang a few more times when he heard Xiao Yang's name.

After all, he is also engaged in theoretical physics. The more he works in the same field, the more he can understand Xiao Yang's high achievements and abilities, not to mention that the Nobel Prize won by Xiao Yang is also John's lifelong pursuit.

After finishing the courtesy.

Chen Shengshen greeted several people to sit down, took a hot water bottle from the table, took the initiative to pour a glass of water for the three of them, and asked John at the same time:

"Mr. John, I don't know why you came here today."

John looked up at him and instead of answering his question directly, he asked:

"Professor Chen, have you read today's "Physical Review Letters"?"

Chen Shengshen nodded slightly and placed the magazine he brought back from the mail room in front of John:

"Mr. John, if I remember correctly, you are the external review editor of this paper, right?"

John showed him a smile that said "it's pleasant to talk to smart people":

"Exactly, several of my friends in mainland China trusted me, so they sent this paper to me for publication."

"How's it going? Isn't the content interesting?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yang, who had not spoken much since entering the room, spoke:

"Interesting? This is more than just interesting - Mr. John, within a week, the physics community is expected to experience a major earthquake."

"By then, this paper, Mr. Guzmit of your journal, and Mr. John yourself will probably be on the front pages of major physics media, right? - Congratulations."

Facing Xiao Yang’s congratulations, John rarely looked very calm:

"Mr. Yang, this is just a small return on investment."

"Our journal took the risk to accept and publish this journal, so it is natural to enjoy the dividends it brings."

"Mr. Yang, I wonder if you have any special thoughts after reading this paper?"

Chen Shengshen and the other three looked at each other, and then all looked at John:

"Mr. John, the particular idea you are referring to is..."

John's eyes slowly swept over the faces of the three people, and then he suddenly walked to the door with great vigilance, put his ear to the back of the door and listened for a while.

After making sure that no one was walking around, he returned to his seat, took out a pen from his body, and wrote a few words:

"For example, go back to your country? Contribute to your country?"

The scene suddenly became solemn.

Although they had already guessed the purpose of John's arrival, after hearing such a straightforward question, Chen Shengshen, Xiao Yang and others couldn't help but feel their hearts jump heavily.

This time the organization was prepared as an intermediary.

It's actually John?
