The 425th chapter will become famous (4)

The keynote speech at the meeting was not very good, and the earnest instructions of the French academician fell into Yang Rui's ears, and there were some Europeans' groans without any illness.

Now is the happiest era in Europe, the construction of a welfare society is perfect, the extremely low unemployment rate is accompanied by extremely high labor remuneration, and the generation born after the war, taking the Soviet Union as the imaginary enemy and comparison object, is achieving unprecedented victory...

The wonderful reality gives Europeans the hint that as long as they work hard, no matter what they can do - humans have landed on the moon, what else can't be done?

But the Chinese cannot immerse themselves in their fantasies.

Chinese scientific researchers in the 1980s worked hard and persisted, but achieved very few world-class achievements.

Ultimately, this is a long and accumulated industry. It is not a world where you can reach the ceiling by just jumping. Stories that can be achieved overnight will occasionally occur, but they will always happen to others.

For example, Yang Rui, a first-year student at Peking University.

He walked out of the lobby of Xiangshan Hotel and was surrounded by more than a dozen reporters.

Professional journalists, professional videographers, and photographers carrying videotapes.

A real big battle!

In 1984, mainland China had no creatures like paparazzi, nor did it have free media or independent journalists waiting to be sold.

Every microphone, every camera, and every camera here represent a national media.

They surrounded Yang Rui in the middle with great quality, then stuffed the microphone into Yang Rui's mouth desperately, and at the same time, they heard the tide of questions coming:

"What does Yang Rui feel like, as a first-year student at Peking University, giving a speech at an international conference?"

"Yang Rui, I heard that your paper has received praise from many parties. Can you explain it specifically to readers?"

"Yang Rui, let's talk about your original intention and process of doing scientific research."

Groups of scholars flowed along the steps, sweeping over Yang Rui, who was surrounded by reporters in curiosity and envy.

If we say that before this international conference, we can still guess Yang Rui's level. After listening to Yang Rui's report and seeing Yang Rui's agility and rigor in the Q&A session, no one wants to challenge Yang Rui like this.

Everyone just smiled and walked over, no one thought about getting a little shot.

In the cruel world of science, talented young people have always been sharp bayonets. Unless they break themselves, they will only move forward bravely. Even the same sharp bayonet may not necessarily prevent the other party from impact, let alone these middle-aged and elderly scholars.

When Wang Yong and Tang gathered together, they saw flashes connected together.

Unlike the young reporter the day before yesterday, the reporters who came here today are all at the level of not being stingy with film.

Wang Yong sighed emotionally: "It's great to be young. When I first went to Moscow to attend an international conference, I was almost 40 years old. I thought about it and wasted a lot of time. Yang Rui was only about 20 years old. In another 20 years, I don't know where he can go."

"As for Yang Rui's development, it's not just us." Tang Ji was not as gentle as Wang Yong, but he was particularly optimistic about Yang Rui. The two of them had more contact, which made him understand Yang Rui more.

"The conditions are better now. Look, there are foreign media to take photos. What a shocking hit." Professor Wang Yong couldn't help but raise his voice.

In front of Yang Rui, except for more than a dozen Chinese media, five or six foreign media gradually gathered.

However, their focus is different from that of Chinese media.

A 20-year-old speech in the main conference hall of the international conference is not news at all. Only China, which has just opened, regards the speech in the main conference hall as a matter of fact. In European and American countries, it is common for geniuses to read PHD at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

However, professional academic journalists can distinguish the value of Yang Rui's theory.

Even if they don’t understand very much, these academic journalists are used to calling for consultation.

After asking, they felt like they had found a treasure.

First of all, Yang Rui's research method is highly feasible. Although it has not been proved yet, it can be expected to be used in the research of calcium ion channels, sodium ion channels, magnesium ion channels... any ion channel.

As for scientific research, this kind of research is the most advanced. The so-called guiding research can provide a decisive direction for other research work. It can be said that it is research in research.

Isn’t the influence factor obtained from references?

If an old man in his fifties and sixties made such a powerful paper, there might not be any changes in the scientific community, and media reporters would not be so interested in hyping it up.

However, Yang Rui's age and this powerful paper immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Yang Rui, how would you evaluate yourself?" This is the first question asked by British reporters after breaking through the siege.

The American reporter also asked in English: "Yang Rui, what are your plans for the future? Will you study in the United States?"

After these two questions were asked, Chinese journalists stopped talking.

Half because I can't understand it, and half because I am humble.

Foreign colleagues come from afar, so they naturally need to know the etiquette of our country of etiquette.

Seeing this, Yang Rui first answered foreigners’ questions in English: "I think I am still in the stage of accumulation and learning, and papers are a way to test learning results, not a purpose."

After answering the British journalist's questions insincerely with the tone that Chinese people like, Yang Rui turned to the Americans and said, "I haven't determined my future direction yet, so I can't talk about it. If I study abroad, it's too early to say it now. I will not consider this issue until at least the third year of my junior year."

"Don't you consider graduating early? With your current grades, you have a good chance to attend Harvard." An American reporter suddenly proposed a surprising option.

This is the proud thinking that only Americans have. In their eyes, the center of the world is the United States, and the academic center of the United States is Harvard. Therefore, the best students in the world should naturally give priority to Harvard University.

There is no big mistake in the facts. In 2013, the era of a major eruption in the Chinese academic community, Harvard University published more papers in the "Nature" series than research institutions in the whole of China, not to mention the poor 1984.

In the eyes of American journalists, Yang Rui is more of a "genius boy from the Far East" than an excellent scholar.

Yang Rui did not guess the reporter's ideas and said in a counterattack: "I don't have the idea of ​​graduating early for the time being. If Harvard University is described, I would use curiosity rather than yearning. Of course, Harvard University is a world-class university and research institution with outstanding results, but I am more accustomed to the atmosphere of Chinese universities. This time, being able to achieve excellent results is inseparable from the help of the tutors and classmates in the laboratory. I have developed very smoothly at Peking University. I hope that one day it will also help the development of Peking University..."

The extremely fluent American English makes the reporters sound effortless.

However, all Chinese journalists listened to it, but for a while, they were extremely excited to take pictures and record them, especially the reporters from the TV station, who seemed to catch big news.

In their opinion, freshmen who chatted fluently with foreign journalists in English are obviously easier to understand than freshmen who wrote a stingy thesis, and seem to explain the nature of "genius".
