#17 - Chapter 17: A cross-era optical topic, a Nobel Prize?!
Jiao Tong University faculty and staff residential area.
In the small courtyard.
Xie Wu was watering flowers.
Summer vacation is a rare time for relaxation.
"President!"
Across the courtyard wall, Zhou Jin shouted loudly, "Look who I brought!"
Xie Wu walked towards the courtyard gate, puzzled.
He opened the door.
Besides the familiar Zhou Jin, there was also a handsome young man.
"This child…"
Xie Wu felt a little familiar, and after a moment, he suddenly remembered: "Chen Hao… you are student Chen Hao, right?!"
These days.
Various reports have been overwhelming.
The key is that Chen Hao ultimately chose Jiao Tong University, how could he, as the president, not pay attention?
"Quick! Come in quickly!"
Which teacher doesn't like students who respect their teachers?
At this moment, he admired Chen Hao's character even more.
Xie Wu nodded with a smile: "Come in quickly—old woman, prepare food, let's have lunch…"
"President, no need."
Chen Hao smiled: "I, as a student, have taken the liberty of visiting because… there is a difficult problem that I would like to ask you to solve."
A difficult problem?
Xie Wu looked at Zhou Jin beside him.
Zhou Jin looked blank.
When Chen Hao called earlier, he asked him to help introduce the president, but he didn't say the specific reason.
"Director Zhou is the most proficient in mathematics problems," Xie Wu said, puzzled.
He studies physical optics.
Zhou Jin is the director of the mathematics department.
"The student wants to ask about optics problems," Chen Hao explained.
"What?!"
Xie Wu was shocked.
Chen Hao is a mathematical genius.
As a result.
To everyone's surprise, he went to apply for materials science.
Now he is actually asking about optics problems.
This…
What the hell!
"Do you understand optics?" Xie Wu felt that his CPU was not enough.
"I don't understand very well, that's why I'm asking you to solve the problem, please help me, President."
"Come!"
Without saying much, Xie Wu led him to the desk: "Tell me, what is the specific problem."
Chen Hao was also not polite.
He took the paper and pen and began to draw and write data.
As he drew, Xie Wu's expression became more and more solemn, eventually turning into extreme shock.
After drawing and writing for more than ten minutes, Chen Hao finally spoke: "Based on the aluminum gallium arsenide high nonlinear integrated platform, high-efficiency integrated microcavity optical comb light source, there are some problems… the student still doesn't understand."
"…"
Xie Wu didn't say a word.
He looked at him with a ghostly look.
This thing…
Indeed, it is optics knowledge.
But the depth of the technology in front of him has exceeded his academic scope, and can even be said… that current global optics research has not reached this stage!
The most incredible thing is.
When he saw the knowledge on the A4 paper, he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
In other words.
Chen Hao is solving a global optics problem.
Moreover, he has completed most of it!
"Student Chen… you…"
Xie Wu's lips trembled, unable to say a complete sentence: "I…"
"President, what's wrong?" Zhou Jin was at a loss.
What's wrong with the president?
He's still trembling.
Could it be Parkinson's disease?
"If I say…"
Xie Wu swallowed and stared blankly at Zhou Jin: "The things Chen Hao is researching can win the Nobel Prize, do you… believe it?"
Pfft!
Zhou Jin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Isn't this kid a mathematical genius?
Indeed.
Mathematics and physics have something in common.
But optics is a completely different discipline after all!
How is it possible…
First solve the top ten mathematical problems and pre-order the next Fields Medal.
Then study optics problems and possibly win the Nobel Prize?
Is this still a human being?!
"Teacher, do you have any ideas?"
Chen Hao pretended to frown and pointed to the drawings and data: "It's here! In addition to electro-optical modulators, photodetectors, wavelength division multiplexers…"
"What other basic structures are needed to generate a stable and efficient coherent optical comb?"
Xie Wu tried his best to calm himself down.
Nobel Prize!
A cutting-edge optics project that can win the Nobel Prize!
And he.
Actually has the opportunity to participate?
Of course, although the topic Chen Hao is researching exceeds his academic height, as a Chinese optics master, his level is definitely not bad.
At least he can offer some opinions and suggestions.
An old man and a young man began to study.
No one noticed that Chen Hao was ostensibly asking for advice, raising questions one by one.
In fact.
He has been giving guidance, letting Xie Wu say the answer.
"It's done…"
More than an hour later, Xie Wu shouted excitedly: "Using this layout, it can be completely solved!"
The next moment.
He stared at Chen Hao with a strange look: "Student Chen, you didn't come to ask me for help, but… to teach me!"
"No!"
Chen Hao quickly waved his hand, looking blank: "If it weren't for your guidance, the student would not be able to…"
"Tell me, what are you here for?" Xie Wu didn't mince words.
His heart was filled with shock.
This topic is theoretically perfect, and once it passes the laboratory, it can also be achieved…
Even if you can't win the Nobel Prize in Physics.
At least.
You can also get a nomination.
He is not stupid.
How could he not see that Chen Hao wanted to give him the results?
Giving such an important thing to others is naturally to achieve a certain purpose.
"President, can you help me act in a play?" Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Act in a play?"
"It would be best to fire someone."
"Who?"
"Xia Qingyan."
"Ah?!"
Xie Wu looked incredible: "You… do you know Teacher Xia? Do you have a grudge?"
To go to so much trouble, even willing to give away the Nobel Prize, just to get rid of someone.
How much hatred must there be?
"President, please help me!"
Chen Hao didn't explain, and bowed deeply: "This is very important to the student!"
Xie Wu was silent.
On one side is the possibility of winning the Nobel Prize, at least a Nobel Prize nomination.
On the other side…
Xia Qingyan is also considered a genius.
But in the end, he is just a lecturer.
It is too easy to fire a lecturer.
"If you win this achievement."
Xie Wu took a deep breath: "Of course, I will be in the spotlight because of this, but I will also feel guilty for the rest of my life—this achievement does not belong to me!"
"President…" Chen Hao was anxious.
"Tell me the reason!"
"This…"
Chen Hao sighed and could only explain the truth: "I plan to do some business, but I don't have time to manage the company, I need a capable person to solve a series of trivial matters—Xia Qingyan is very suitable."
Xie Wu frowned suddenly.
Staring at Chen Hao, his eyes were very unkind: "For personal purposes, let me fire a teacher?"
"Do you know how many excellent students an excellent teacher can teach?!"
"Chen Hao, you really disappoint me! Too selfish!"
Hearing these words, Chen Hao smiled wryly and shook his head.
"What? Still not convinced?!" Xie Wu asked sharply.
Chen Hao's face straightened: "If Xia Qingyan can build a super group, create hundreds of millions of wealth for the country, and create countless jobs for the society? President, where do you think she is more valuable?"
Xie Wu was stunned.
Super group!
Hundreds of millions of wealth!
Countless jobs!
If someone else said this, he would definitely scoff at it.
Who do you think you are?
Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is about building a super group?
But!
When these words came from Chen Hao's mouth, he didn't have much doubt.
After a long silence, Xie Wu nodded: "Two years! If you don't show me the results within two years, I will tell the truth and let Teacher Xia return to school."
"It's a deal!"
Chen Hao finally smiled.
Sister-in-law.
For this commercial giant ship, I can only stab you in the back.
