Chapter 436: Nanjing University Students: Is It Chinese New Year?

After throwing the math problem in his hand to Cai Peng, Xu Chuan opened the computer in the office and signed up for his course at the Academic Affairs Office.

His class was originally taken by himself at the beginning, but later when he was busy with the 'Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion Electrical Energy Engineering', Gu Bing and Amelia took his place for a while.

But when they were busy with controllable nuclear fusion, Gu Bing and Amelia both graduated, and Cai Peng was a new recruit, so the teaching was suspended. Now it is time to restart.

One can imagine how much of a stir it will cause on the NTU campus when he submits his course schedule.

In fact, it is exactly that.

The teachers in the Academic Affairs Office who were responsible for typesetting and distributing the tables were collectively surprised at first, and then quickly posted it on the official website of NTU, sparking heated discussions on the Little Stone Forum and in various class groups.

[Holy shit, have you looked at the course schedule? Sichuan God’s name is on the list! 】

[They don’t have the same name, right? 】

[It is possible that he is either a teaching assistant or a student taught by his old man. Anyway, I don’t really believe it. He is the chief designer of the controllable nuclear fusion project. Will he still teach students? 】

[It’s been a long time since I heard Mr. Sichuan God give a lecture in person. It’s been almost two years since the last time. I hope it’s true! 】

[Controllable nuclear fusion has been achieved, maybe the old man is back? After all, he is still a professor at Nanjing University. 】

[We won’t know tomorrow, so we’ll have to wait, but I’m sure I can get there early to get a seat. At worst, if the person coming is a student or teaching assistant, just leave in advance. 】

For NTU students, having Sichuan God, who solved the century-old problem of controllable nuclear fusion, personally come to teach them is undoubtedly like a Chinese New Year.

Of course, many people doubted whether it was the real Xu Chuan who came to teach them.

After all, super bosses of this level basically no longer teach classes.

Xu Chuan didn't care about the outside world's opinions. After putting up the class schedule, he got up and left the office.

It’s been more than a year since I returned to Nanjing University, so I have to visit my former mentors and acquaintances.

After walking through the corridor, Xu Chuan successfully found Chen Zhengping's office, knocked on the door, and heard the voice of 'please come in'.

Pushing open the half-open door, he walked in and greeted with a smile: "Tutor."

Hearing this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar voice, Chen Zhengping, who was sitting at his desk handling official duties, suddenly raised his head. When he saw the familiar person, he was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face. Put down the pen and stood up.

"Chief Designer Xu is back. Welcome, rare visitor." Chen Zhengping greeted with a joyful smile on his face.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Teacher, are you also teasing me?"

Chen Zhengping said with a smile: "What is ridicule? The chief designer of controllable nuclear fusion comes to NTU and comes to my small office. Isn't it just a brilliance?"

Xu Chuan coughed slightly and said, "Please spare me. It's okay if others say it. Teacher, please don't join in the fun."

Chen Zhengping smiled, made two cups of tea and asked: "The controllable nuclear fusion side has been finished? Is there nothing going on?"

Xu Chuan took the tea with both hands, nodded, and said, "Well, I don't need to worry about it for the time being. Although there will be some tests to do in the future, there should be no problem with the grid connection at the beginning of next year."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping sighed with emotion: "Controllable nuclear fusion technology, I never thought I would see the emergence of this technology in my lifetime."

After sighing with emotion, he looked at his student curiously and asked: "Now that controllable nuclear fusion technology has been realized, what are you going to study next?"

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "I will probably take a break for a while, and prepare to go back to my alma mater to take classes and learn mathematics along the way."

"As for the ones further away, we still need to wait for news from above."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping looked at Xu Chuan with a strange expression and asked, "You would actually say something like rest? This is not in line with your character."

"Tell me, which millennium problem are you focusing on this time?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan almost spit out a mouthful of tea. After swallowing it, he choked himself again and coughed several times before he recovered.

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Why would I actually say something like rest? The Millennium Problem is not that easy to solve. If I can solve whatever I like, how can I do that?"

Chen Zhengping: "Isn't it? Hodge's conjecture, NS equation, controllable nuclear fusion conjecture, these goals you are interested in have now been solved."

The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to refute. He could only say: "Luck, I just have better luck."

Chen Zhengping glanced at him and said angrily: "You kid, stop pretending in front of me. What you said makes my teeth itch and I want to hit someone."

After a pause, he continued: "But it's good to come back and have a rest. I guess you didn't get a lot of good sleep during the controllable nuclear fusion project."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Now it seems that everything is worth it."

After a slight pause, he continued: "When I come back this time, I will probably rest for a while, go to class and take care of two students. After all, I still hold the position of full professor in the Department of Mathematics at NTU."

While they were chatting, another figure hurriedly walked in in the office.

"Academician Chen, about the Department of Physics"

Before he finished speaking, the visitor's eyes fell on Xu Chuan who was sitting on the sofa. He was stunned for a moment, with a surprise smile on his face.

"Academician Xu, you are back!"

Xu Chuan glanced at the unfamiliar middle-aged and elderly man with a smile in front of him, stretched out his hand to shake the man's hand out of curiosity, and asked, "Who are you?"

Hearing this question, Chen Zhengping coughed awkwardly and quickly introduced: "Well, this is our new president of Nanjing University, President Tan Shaoyuan. The previous president Liu Gaojun has been transferred to the Ministry of Education. Gone to take office.”

A full professor at a school didn't even know that the principal of his school had changed. He would feel embarrassed if this news got out.

The most important thing is that he said it in front of others.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan realized that the principal of his alma mater had changed, and he could only say hello with an awkward and embarrassed smile: "Hello, principal."

However, the newly appointed President Tan Shaoyuan didn't care at all. He smiled cheerfully and said: "Hey, as the chief designer of the controllable nuclear fusion project, Academician Xu is usually busy with his own work. It is normal to not understand these little things. "

After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and continued: "I would like to thank Academician Xu for the reputation and contribution he has brought to Nanda. It is an honor for Nanda to have a scholar like you."

I have to say that a person who can hold the position of president of NTU has a very good way of talking.

Two simple sentences can dissolve the slightly awkward atmosphere in the office.

After the three of them chatted and had some family affairs, Xu Chuan thought of another thing. He looked at the new Principal Tan Shaoyuan and said, "By the way, Principal Tan, there is one thing I want to think about." Discuss it with the school.”

Hearing this, Tan Shaoyuan quickly said: "Academician Xu, please tell me, if there is anything Nanda can do to help, Nanda will do its best."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "For Nanda, this is actually a good thing."

"After the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project was completed, I communicated with the boss and prepared to accept the researchers, engineers and other scholars who were dispatched to study the controllable nuclear fusion project to establish an independent research institution. Promote various science and technologies in subsequent research.”

"The main reason is that they all feel that it is a pity to disband the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Institute on the spot. If so many researchers can continue to be organized intact, it will be very beneficial to the country's scientific and technological development."

“If NTU is interested, it can also join as a cooperative institution.”

As soon as these words came out, the other two people in the office understood instantly.

Tan Shaoyuan said: "This is a good thing. Nanda will definitely join."

Chen Zhengping thought for a while and asked curiously: "Is it similar to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "You can put it this way, but it may be a little deeper than the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. After the establishment of this institution, it may cooperate with major universities and manufacturers in the form of a separate research institution. "

Chen Zhengping nodded and said: "If it can really be done, it will be very beneficial. But to be honest, it is difficult for an ideal research institution like the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton to survive in China. It is not that no one has done it before. , but eventually disappeared.”

On the side, Tan Shaoyuan said: "If that's the case, I think the institution that Academician Xu mentioned may be more similar to the Max Planck Society in Germany? I would like to ask, what is this research institution? Academician Xu, will you personally take charge?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Well, if nothing else happens, I should be the one to lead it myself."

To be honest, he wouldn't trust such a large research institute to be handed over to others. There were many things that domestic and foreign leaders knew well. If it were really handed over to other people, it would probably die out like the previous research institutes.

But in his hands, he still has some control over its development.

As for subsequent research on aerospace engines, aerospace technology, etc., if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely be carried out in this research institution.
