It is already the morning of March 20th when I set foot on the land of my motherland again. The footprints of spring have already spread all over the earth. There is less of the coldness of winter and more of the unique softness of spring.

After going abroad for nearly a month, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun couldn't help but take a deep breath of the morning air after getting off the plane.

Compared with countries where industrialization has been completed and the results of air management have been demonstrated, the air in big cities like Beijing, which has many people, cars, dense buildings, and experiences sandstorms from time to time, is really not that good. Even in the suburbs like the airport, which is far away from the city, the air

It's hard to describe it as "fresh", but this is the motherland after all. Qin Ke is still in a good mood, feeling like a fallen leaf has returned to its roots.

Ning Qingyun, who was tired from the long journey, also showed a relaxed smile.

Accompanied by Chen Ming and Chen Lan, the two of them had just pushed their suitcases to the exit of the international flight. They unexpectedly saw Principal Huang, Vice Principal Gu Bojun and other school leaders, Director Wei Yuanfu of the Department of Mathematics and other department leaders, as well as

All the leaders of the school office and the school publicity office were waiting in the crowd, and there were also a large number of reporters carrying long guns and short cannons.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun looked at each other. Although they had been notified in advance that the school would send someone to pick them up, they did not say that the school leaders would come to pick them up in person. Then they saw the eyes of these reporters shining, and they went crazy when they saw them.

The way he took photos on the ground...isn't the scene a bit exaggerated?

When they saw the two people appearing, Principal Huang and Vice Principal Gu were also filled with emotions. Who would have thought that these two young people who looked a little green in front of them were already among the top young people in the country and even internationally.

A handful of mathematicians?

Principal Huang stepped forward, smiled and shook hands with Qin Ke: "Qin Ke, you've had a hard journey, I didn't want reporters to disturb your rest so early, but now is a special period when you need to continue to expand your reputation, and the boss also

I hope that I can interview and report you as soon as possible, and I ask for your forgiveness and understanding."

Qin Ke hurriedly said: "Principal Huang, you, Principal Gu, and so many elders, the leaders personally came to pick you up early in the morning. This is a great honor for Qingyun and I. We will fully cooperate with the school's arrangements.

Please make arrangements."

The words made the school leaders and department leaders feel comfortable. Some people’s discomfort because they had to go out to the airport to pick up the plane in the middle of the night disappeared instantly. Everyone just felt that these two children were so sensible and had no arrogance, and they really deserved the school’s full support.

Push them to the pinnacle of mathematics.

Now that Qin Ke had spoken, Ning Qingyun would naturally not object. The two simply tidied up their appearance and accepted brief interviews with various media.

Basically, they are all commonplace questions, such as acceptance speeches, future plans, etc. The most frequently asked question is "Will you specialize in mathematics in the future, or will you major in mathematics and physics as you do now?"

Qin Ke said without hesitation: "As long as science and engineering can contribute to the prosperity of the motherland and the progress of human civilization, we are interested in it. It is not just mathematics and physics, such as chemistry and biology. We will continue to self-study and carry out related topics."

Research."

These highly enlightened and somewhat unexpected remarks aroused the reporters’ tut-tut-tsk comments.

Another reporter asked: "So, you will continue the research on new crop seeds? Can you reveal the direction of the varieties?"

"At present, some research results are already going through the patent determination process. I believe they will be announced soon. Everyone will know then. Thank you."

After about ten minutes of interviews, the leaders of Qingmu University came forward and declined other interviews on the grounds that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were tired from the journey. Then Principal Gu Bojun drove the car himself, and Principal Huang sat in the passenger seat to see Qin Ke off.

The two of them went back to school.

The dignified vice-president of Qingmu University, a big shot that many people fawned over, actually acted as his driver. How could Qin Ke have the nerve to accept it? He hurriedly said: "Principal Gu, how can I trouble you? How about I drive?"

Gu Bojun smiled and waved his hand and said: "You have brought great honor to the country and the school in the world. It doesn't mean anything for me to drive for you. And you were even more tired from the interview just now, so just rest in the car."

By the way, there is a reason why we suddenly didn’t stop the reporters this time. You should sit down first, Principal Huang and I will tell you later.”

Seeing that he couldn't argue, Qin Ke had no choice but to pull Ning Qingyun and sit in the back, while Chen Ming, Chen Lan and others drove behind.

On the way back to Qingmu University, Gu Bojun and Principal Huang conveyed the spirit of the school's meeting to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun respectively.

The two of them did not expect that the school would treat this Fields Medal with such solemnity and mobilize the school's century-old heritage to help them.

"So I ask you both to cooperate more with the publicity matter. There will be a press conference in the school auditorium this afternoon. I heard that the superiors will arrange higher-level interviews on the weekend. We will wait for specific notifications on this.

Let me tell you again. Of course, we will also ensure that it will not affect your normal study and life as much as possible."

Qin Ke thought for a while and said: "There is no problem with the publicity matter, we will fully cooperate. It is a matter of degree major..."

Principal Gu hurriedly said: "What other ideas do you have about the degree major? Feel free to mention it, but the process cannot be omitted. When the time comes, you can just take a few minutes to show your face and go through the motions..."

"It's not about this." Qin Ke's words surprised several people in the car. Even Ning Qingyun looked at Qin Ke with some confusion.

Qin Ke touched his chin and said a little shyly: "I have no objection to getting a master's degree in mathematics and a doctorate first. These should all be science degrees, but I have a question. The physics we are studying is also a science degree.

When you graduate, will you be issued a science degree certificate? Or will you take back the old one and issue a new science degree certificate marked with a double major? Not just for bachelor's degrees, but also for master's and doctoral degrees in the future?"

"This..." The two school leaders looked at each other, but they really didn't have time to think about it in such detail.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Generally speaking, double majors span disciplines, such as science and philosophy, history, economics, etc.

People like Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who major in physics and minor in mathematics, are both in the science of science and can only be regarded as double majors. Normally, after graduation, they will be issued a degree certificate with the name of the double major written on it.

But they had already been awarded bachelor of science degrees in mathematics to two people in advance...

Principal Huang thought about it for a while and said, "This is not a big problem. We will just issue a double-major science degree certificate at that time."

Qin Ke smiled. In fact, he asked this just to bring up the following topic: "But what if Qingjun and I want to major in materials science and biological science? Can we fight for it?"

"Materials, a minor in biological sciences?"

The two school leaders were stunned again.

The creation of computational seed science by Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun has caused a sensation in the domestic seed industry. Now the five new types of tomato seeds they have developed are still selling well in the market. A professional degree certificate in biological science should be enough.

qualified.

In terms of materials science, the fact that they helped Professor He Liangfu a lot has already spread throughout the Department of Chemistry and Materials.

Hmm... Biological science is also a science subject, while materials science is an engineering subject. Such an interdisciplinary degree certificate is theoretically fine.

It’s just that no one has ever been able to get a science degree in three majors and an engineering degree at the same time... It’s quite difficult to operate.

Principal Huang and Gu Bojun exchanged glances. In fact, both of them felt that if they wanted to obtain degrees in these two minor majors, it would be easier to do so when they were graduate students. However, considering that Qin Ke rarely made requests, Principal Huang finally nodded and said:

"No problem, special matters will be dealt with. I will hold a school meeting to discuss the process. There should be no problem with the process. After the second semester of your sophomore year, you will participate in two more thesis defenses. By then, you will have a bachelor's degree in science and a bachelor's degree in engineering.

Issued."

"Thank you, Principal Huang, Principal Gu!"

Qin Ke smiled and thanked him.

The car stopped downstairs in the girls' dormitory. Qin Ke declined Principal Gu's offer to send him back to the boys' dormitory, saying that he could just walk back.

The two school leaders thought that the young couple had something private to say, so they didn't care and drove away with a smile.

"Qin Xiaoke, why do you want to find a school to get two minor degrees?" Ning Qingyun was a little confused. She thought it would be good to have a double major in mathematics and physics.

"In the future, we will continue to develop in the direction of materials science and biological science, and do research projects. With an undergraduate professional degree in hand, we will appear confident and confident. It will be more convenient to obtain the corresponding master's degree or doctorate in the future." Qin Kewen

Voice explained.

He knew in his heart that the two of them would achieve success in mathematics sooner or later. Once they won the Fields Medal, mathematics would bring them less and less sense of accomplishment. Apart from centuries of conjecture, they could slowly "

In addition to playing, mathematics will mainly become an auxiliary tool for other subjects.

The ultimate goal of the two is to change society through technology and benefit mankind. Scientific research and invention will be the main direction in the future, such as studying quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics of the N-S equation, and energy science, such as materials that combine physical materials with chemical materials.

science, such as continuing to develop in the direction of plant breeding to completely solve the food crisis, such as developing in the direction of human cytology, and finally solving the mystery of human aging, etc.

So if you have the opportunity to get these professional degrees, why not get them?

Qin Ke said with a smile: "Besides, no one in history has ever been able to obtain four professional degrees and span two major subjects like us. I don't feel particularly fulfilled by creating history like this."

Well? We only have two years of undergraduate studies. If we don’t do some special deeds, how can we be worthy of the two years of undergraduate studies that we have less than others?"

Ning Qingyun thought the same thing. Although they would definitely open their own laboratory and research institute in the future. Degrees and academic qualifications were not of much significance to people like them who did not need to apply for jobs everywhere, but after all, degrees were important to their professional abilities.

Yes, it will be easier to engage in research on related topics. At least it will not be like now, when researching seeds causes so many people to be surprised and incredulous, thinking that they are "not doing their job properly".

Moreover, what Qin Ke said, "making the undergraduate experience more meaningful and special" made the girl feel a little excited.

Yes, the time is too short, so let’s make up for it by leaving more different memories, but that’s also good, right?

"Yeah!" Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll listen to you."

While the two were talking, Qin Ke's cell phone rang, and this time it was Uncle Chen. This was a real big shot in the education world. Qin Ke answered the phone and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, how did you know that I am calling?"

Want to call you to say you are safe and say hello?"

Uncle Chen's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone: "You brat is coaxing me again. It's been more than an hour since you got off the plane. You already made a call if you wanted to. Why do you need to call now?"

Qin Ke was very familiar with Uncle Chen from the education world and Uncle Yang from the science and technology world. He continued to smile and said: "Uncle Chen, you really wronged me. It was inconvenient to be with the school leaders just now. No,

As soon as I got off the bus, I wanted to report to you my thoughts while going abroad as soon as possible."

"I guess you have Uncle Chen in mind. First of all, congratulations to you two for winning another grand prize. In addition, I heard that you two are also jointly conducting theoretical research on quantum science with a well-known physicist in China?"

Will it not affect your study of Goldbach’s conjecture?”

Qin Ke was very clear-minded. I guess Uncle Chen was also hoping that they would conquer Goldbach's conjecture and increase their chances of winning the Fields Medal.

"This is a long-term project collaboration, at least two to three years, so the pressure and workload are not huge. If Qingjun and I join forces, it won't take up too much time."

Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's a good thing to carry out cross-border cooperation on high-end theoretical topics. Our country is indeed weak in this regard. You can take charge of these learning and scientific research matters by yourself. I believe you, but this year is the Philippine Prize.

Year, now the whole country is waiting for you two to win one or two Fields medals. I will also cooperate with Qingmu University and continue to try to arrange some heavyweight domestic and foreign media to promote you. I hope you will

Don't blame me, an old man, for being nosy."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's not too late for us to be grateful. Thank you, Uncle Chen, for your trouble."

After ending the call, Qin Ke couldn't help but sigh. Whether he can win the Fields Medal is no longer a matter for him and Ning Qingyun, but a goal that countless people pay attention to and work together for.
