Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's trip abroad was still secret, and not many people in the school knew about it.

However, Qingmu University still provided very considerate services and made sufficient preparations for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun early on. The two of them barely had to worry about anything from air tickets to visas. They only had to carry their bags and take a special car to the airport to board the plane.

Ning Qingyun has never been abroad since the Biology Osei IBO in her senior year of high school. She is particularly happy to be able to go abroad this time. Qin Ke also specially arranged a two-day sightseeing trip, which made her feel warm.

Heart.

"Qin Xiaoke, can we really stay in San Francisco for two more days?" Sitting in the business class of the plane, Ning Qingyun asked Qin Ke next to her in a low voice with some uneasiness.

She actually knew that this trip for the two of them would not be easy. You could tell that in addition to two familiar faces, Chen Lan and Chen Ming, there were three additional strangers accompanying her as support staff.

However, Qin Ke recognized that these three additional people were all "acquaintances". Sun Liwen and Zheng Haiqiao, who had been to Princeton together, were not mentioned. The third one was also an acquaintance and had helped him in Jinchun Garden three days ago.

cleaner.

But at this time, the cleaner had changed into a casual suit, looking elegant and dignified. His external identity was Wei Feng, a staff member of the Logistics Office of Qingmu University.

Qin Ke knew in his heart that only Sun Liwen, who had been promoted to associate professor, was the real teacher of Qingmu University. The rest, Zheng Haiqiao and Wei Feng, should be colleagues of Chen Lan and Chen Ming. They were specially arranged to protect him and Ning Qingyun.

Yes, I am just responsible for the security work in the school.

In addition to these four people, there are probably other hidden support forces for this trip abroad, but Qin Ke just didn't notice it.

In short, in order for the two of them to go abroad to participate in academic reports and bring glory to the country, it is estimated that a lot of manpower and material resources were spent.

Chen Lan even proposed to take Ning Qingyun on a sightseeing tour in San Francisco, and it was Chen Lan who conveyed the instructions from above. As for this suggestion, was it out of the mentality of compensating Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu, or was it a special preferential treatment for Qin Ke and his wife?

, it is unknown.

Qin Ke was not polite. Since there are such benefits, let's enjoy them.

So he told Chen Ming about his travel itinerary in advance, and Chen Ming only replied with three words: "No problem." Qin Ke was completely relieved.

However, Qin Ke never mentioned these inside stories and details to Ning Qingyun. He did not want Xiaobaicai to worry about these things and affect his mentality.

Ning Qingyun only needs to make an academic report seriously and then happily play with him.

So Qin Ke smiled and rubbed her hair: "Of course, you can just follow me when the time comes. You don't need to think too much about other things. Not only this time, we will also have the opportunity to go abroad in the future, as long as the conditions

With your permission, I will take you to see the local attractions and cultural features. Life will be more meaningful if you have seen enough scenery, right?"

Ning Qingyun fantasized about it, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

Although with her quiet and quiet personality, she is not as excited and looking forward to traveling abroad as an ordinary girl, but the thought of walking with Qin Ke in a foreign country and leaving beautiful and precious memories makes her feel sweet in her heart.

Sweet feeling.

The Scientific Breakthrough Award, English "e", is selected once a year. It has only been selected for less than ten times so far. It is still a relatively young award, but it is highly recognized internationally and is hailed as the "Oscar of the scientific community" by the international academic community.

It is famous for its generous bonuses, and it is also the award with the highest bonus among scientific awards.

The total prize money of this year's Scientific Breakthrough Award exceeds ARS. There are Breakthrough Prize in Life Science, Breakthrough Prize in Basic Physics, and Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics. The total prize money for each award is ARS, which is shared equally by the winners. In addition, there is also the New Horizon Prize in Physics.

, the New Horizons Award in Mathematics, the number of places is generally 6, and the individual prize is ars. This is an award for young physicists and young mathematicians who have made outstanding achievements. The winners are often under 35 years old.

If we make a simple analogy, the New Horizons Award in Mathematics is like the Chung Jiaqing Mathematics Award in China, and the Mathematics Breakthrough Award is like the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award, but the selection targets the whole world, is more famous, and is recognized in the international academic community.

Also higher.

Professor Tao, the world's most famous Xia-born mathematician and known as a mathematical genius, also received this Mathematics Breakthrough Award at the age of 40.

The Scientific Breakthrough Award includes an academic report, a selection, and an award. Yes, no one knows the final list of winners during the conference. The list will not be determined until the last day, after a collective vote by the judges.

The relatively fair selection is also the main reason why the Scientific Breakthrough Award is more internationally recognized.

Of course - fairness is relative. Often only scholars who have made outstanding academic achievements and are invited to attend lectures and give academic reports for 45 minutes or one hour are qualified to become candidates.

If you are not invited, then I'm sorry, you have to wait for the next one, or you have no chance at all.

This includes factors such as whether academic achievements are famous or not, as well as other complex factors.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were invited mainly because Tuoliang's academic achievements were too dazzling, especially Qin Ke's performance at the Pudong University Academic Symposium, which was too amazing to be ignored.

The conference venue for this year’s Scientific Breakthrough Award Academic Seminar is in Silicon Valley, San Francisco, at the Ames Research Center affiliated with NASA.

The plane that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun took arrived in San Francisco the next day. A special car was waiting at the airport and took the group directly to the meeting location to check in.

Ames Research Center is a well-known research laboratory in the world's scientific research community. Its main research directions are aeronautical science, astrobiological science and life science. Generally speaking, it studies technology related to outer space, including the exploration of outer space.

Star life.

Many of their scientific research results have also been applied to civilian applications. For example, the memory foam known as "zero pressure aerospace cotton in space" was developed by the Ames Research Center and moved from medical use to civilian use, and eventually entered thousands of households. For

Improving sleep quality plays a huge role.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had already heard of the name of the Ames Research Center, and were a little excited to attend academic reports here.

This academic lecture also included a visit. Although it was only a short half-day, it was enough to fill the two people who were determined to embark on the path of scientific research with interest and expectations.

After going to the registration office of the Ames Research Center to sign the meeting procedures, notes and small gifts, Qin Ke and others did not stay at the hotel designated by the meeting party. Instead, they were taken by the driver who picked them up from the airport and stayed two kilometers away.

Another Boston hotel outside.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had no objections to these arrangements, nor did they pay attention to them. Anyway, they were right to follow Chen Ming and the others.

Sun Liwen, an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Qingmu University, is extremely enthusiastic about the two of them. Thanks to his performance when he accompanied Qin Ke to Princeton for an academic report last time, he successfully bid farewell to his status as a lecturer and became an associate professor.

Once again, I had the opportunity to accompany Qin Ke on a business trip. How could he not perform well?

He had obviously done enough homework and introduced various local attractions to the two of them along the way, acting like a qualified tour guide.

After checking into the hotel, I don’t know whether it was intentional or deliberate, but I arranged for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to live in a double suite, which is the kind of suite with a large bed room and a small bed room, and they stayed in the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award

The suite we stayed in at the awards ceremony was similar, only more luxurious and comfortable. When we opened the window, we could see the logos of many world-famous companies in Silicon Valley.

This kind of suite arrangement is very considerate and suitable no matter what stage the relationship between the young couple develops. Qin Ke has to sigh that the Chinese people's sense of service is first-rate.

Qin Ke naturally chose to live in the double room with Ning Qingyun. Ning Qingyun blushed and did not object. Originally, the two of them lived in the master bedroom together in the new house. Although they would suffer some troubles from time to time, Ning Qingqing

Jun still prefers to sleep with Qin Ke in her arms. She will feel a special sense of security and will sleep more soundly and comfortably.

After packing their luggage, the two of them took a shower again before they had time to look through the conference brochure they had received.

When he turned to a certain page, Ning Qingyun's eyes suddenly widened.

Because she discovered that not only Qin Ke, but also she was also on the list of candidates for the Mathematics Breakthrough Award and the Mathematics New Horizons Award!

Ning Qingyun didn't expect that she would be among the candidates, and she suddenly became a little nervous. After all, her mentality has always been to be Qin Ke's assistant. She only needs to fully cooperate with Qin Ke to help her boyfriend achieve a breakthrough in mathematics.

It's nice to win a prize, but now that I suddenly find myself becoming the protagonist, I will naturally feel a little restless.

Especially when looking at the topics and speaker introductions in the mathematics report agenda in the booklet, the other candidates, whether they are candidates for the New Horizons Award or the Mathematics Breakthrough Award, are all at the full professor level, or from the University of California, Berkeley.

He teaches at the world's top universities such as Princeton University, Harvard University, Cambridge University, and Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, or engages in mathematical research at world-renowned scientific research institutions such as Imperial College London, Kyoto University, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He has rich reporting experience and academic achievements.

The richness made her feel unsure.

After all, whether or not they can win the award in the end, and which award they can win, depends on their performance in the one-hour academic report meeting.

According to previous experience, publishing a paper in a top journal is only a prerequisite for becoming a candidate and qualifying to participate in the selection. Can you impress the expert judges of the award with your high academic level and perfect academic performance at the academic report meeting?

, gaining recognition from them and even the participating scholars is the most critical factor in winning the award.

Qin Ke also saw this page and thought it was an unexpected surprise. He smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous. Originally, in our arrangement, you had half an hour to report and be responsible for explaining and proving Polignac."

As for the guessing part, just perform well."

Seeing Ning Qingyun's little face tense and nodding, Qin Ke stretched out his hand and pinched it, feeling the elasticity and smoothness of the girl's face, and deliberately said arrogantly:

"Jun'er, you have to have confidence. No matter how many academic achievements others write in their introductions, they can only prove some small conjectures. Even half of the candidates have not even proved their small conjectures. Compared with them,

Our probability of winning will undoubtedly be several times greater. So, just perform well at the report meeting and prove your strength. I believe in you, you can definitely do it."

"Well, I...I will definitely do my best." Ning Qingyun nodded vigorously. Since he unexpectedly had the opportunity to be selected like this, Ning Qingyun still wanted to win as many awards as possible, even the New Vision Award.

Good, not only can I bring glory to my country, but I can also tell my parents the good news.

The girl with a single ponytail still couldn't hide her nervousness in her tone, but the way she clenched her little fists looked particularly cute.

Qin Ke couldn't help but hugged her and kissed her hard for a while, then he pointed at a scholar from the Eagle Kingdom among the candidates and said with a smile: "Look, Jun'er, we really saw an old rival. I don't know who he is.

Will you still come to this academic seminar, haha. This is a guy who is determined to win the Scientific Breakthrough Award, and for this reason he did not hesitate to throw out a proof of the weak Polignac conjecture. Seeing such an opponent, are you right?

How much has your confidence increased?"

Ning Qingyun's face was still red and she almost couldn't breathe just now, but this kind of intimacy really relieved her nervousness.

The girl looked in the direction of Qin Ke's finger and saw Professor Leonce Bowie from Cambridge University. The topic of his report was "Proof that for all odd numbers k, there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers (p, p

2k)", which is the rumored weak Polignac conjecture.

Ning Qingyun couldn't help but smile. Now that the two of them have completely proved the Polignac conjecture, Professor Bowie's academic achievements have completely lost their meaning. I am afraid that he will not dare to participate in the report and selection again unless he has

New and better academic results.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at the time, it was almost half an hour before dinner. Qin Ke simply pulled Ning Qingyun to sit on the bed, and then hugged the girl's soft willow-like breasts

He slimmed his waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and smelled her touching body fragrance that was like lime. They looked through the pamphlets together and analyzed the "enemy situation."

"Huh? It's interesting. There are two candidates for the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics this year, and they have won the New Horizons Prize in Mathematics before."

"And this Jiang Quansheng is actually from our Xia country... Oh no, he is an American national, not from our country. This guy is quite capable. He has won the Ford Prize and the Oswal Award from the Federal Mathematical Society.
To be continued...
