Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun received a call from the Scientific Breakthrough Award Organizing Committee in the international terminal of Yuanzhou Airport.

Both of them were a little surprised and a little surprised, because this was neither an invitation for them to attend as guests nor for them to be judges, but they were informed that they had won the Basic Physics Breakthrough Award (commonly known as the "Breakthrough Award") at the same time.

Nominated for the "Breakthrough Prize in Physics") and the New Horizons Physics Prize, and invited two people to participate in the Scientific Breakthrough Prize Academic Exchange Conference in June this year.

No one in history has ever won the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics and the Breakthrough Prize in Physics at the same time, not even the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics and the New Horizons Physics Prize.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun officially entered the international stage as physicists but only had the "newcomer status" for more than a year. Even with their amazing achievements in topological quantum computing, if they had not won the "Einstein Science Prize",

It is estimated that he will not become a nominee for the Breakthrough Prize in Physics and the New Horizons Physics Prize so soon.

Breakthrough Prize in Physics and the "Einstein Science Prize" of the World Cultural Council, the "Castler Prize" of Ictp, the "Lars Onsager Prize" of the American Physical Society, the "Marcel Grossman Prize"

"Similarly, they are both highly valued awards in the international physics community. Their popularity and status are only slightly inferior to the Nobel Prize in Physics. Among them, the Physics Breakthrough Award has a bonus of up to three million US dollars, and it is the highest award in the world.

By being able to win the Breakthrough Prize in Physics, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will have greater confidence in the Nobel Prize at the end of the year.

So the two of them inquired about the location of the meeting, and when it happened to be Paris in Europe, they agreed to come down. The two of them were originally going to fly to Sweden in June to receive the Rolf Schock Mathematics Prize, and they happened to make a trip to Paris.

Of course, there is no need to pay too much attention or worry too much to prepare for June. Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun should focus on the major event in their lives - "taking wedding photos".

The two of them flew to the Aegean Sea to take wedding photos smoothly, without any accidents.

The two of them went abroad with disguised identities. The filming team was safe and reliable, and the location was booked in advance by Wei Feng and others. There were no tourists except them, so they could safely take off their masks during the filming and use their original appearance.

Face to complete the wedding photo shoot.

The Aegean Sea is indeed a very good wedding photography location. Although it is not as well-known as the Maldives, Provence and other love resorts, it is quiet and romantic. Under the lens of the photographer, Ning Qingyun, wearing a beautiful pure white wedding dress, cuddles up to Qin Ke and looks at it together.

The red sun sets from the blue sea level, and the red glow of the afterglow dyes the entire Aegean Sea. The picture is very beautiful.

There was an interesting episode that I have to mention during the filming, because there is a local saying that looks like a tourist promotion slogan - "As long as you kiss your lover the moment the sun sets, you will be blessed by the God of Love." Ning

Qingjun actually ignored her shyness in front of the camera. On the first evening, she waited for the moment when the sun set over the sea, and then took the initiative to kiss Qin Ke on the lips, looking particularly pious.

Qin Ke felt a little funny. Fortunately, his wife was a great mathematician and physicist, so she still believed this. However, Ning Qingyun's beautiful wishes for the future still touched Qin Ke, so he was happy to cooperate with her.

The photographer was also very good at seizing the opportunity and took the only wedding photo of the two actually kissing - the rest were all staged according to the photographer's requirements.

It rained the next day. In the evening, the sky cleared after the rain. The white lake reflected the blue sky, white clouds, and the warm red sunset. The sky became softer and softer, and the sea view was more beautiful than the previous night.

The sunset was even more beautiful. The photographers excitedly called Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to take another set of photos of the setting sun after the rain on the beach.

In addition to taking wedding photos with sea views, the two also took some photos of local blue town buildings. Many of the buildings in Santorini are blue and white, which are extremely beautiful.

After completing the three-day and two-night trip to the Aegean Sea, Qin Ke and the two flew back to Xia Kingdom. It was the night of March 31st when they returned to the capital. They just took a short rest and welcomed April 1st.

.

April 1st is April Fool's Day in the West. Young people like to make some offensive jokes on this day, but for the more than 500,000 Qin Ke, Ning Qingjun, master's students in mathematics, and doctoral students from Xia State and even the world, they are interested in applying.

For students, this day is very important, and it can even be said to determine their destiny.

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also attached great importance to the first-day mathematics written test. Although Qin Ke had prepared it in February, the two spent nearly a week discussing it over and over before forming the final question bank.

Considering that there were too many applicants, it was impossible to find so many venues to conduct the written test uniformly. Qin Ke specially asked Weiguang to write an exam. The test questions were officially released at 9 a.m. on April 1. Candidates can register through the ID number and mobile phone

After logging in via SMS verification, you can open the test paper.

The test paper is automatically generated by randomly selecting five major questions from the question bank, and candidates answer them through paper and pencil.

After completion, you can easily scan the answers on the paper and enter them into the system through the Lime operating system, and submit them to the backend as the final answer.

The written test lasts for three hours, and the entire process will be filmed by a camera, but students will not be restricted from flipping through books or searching for answers online - because there are no answers online at all. As for collusion and plagiarism? Don't treat the camera as a decoration.

If the similarity exceeds 100%, Weiguang will automatically retrieve the camera video to determine whether there is plagiarism. Once determined, the written test score will be directly awarded 0 points.

What's more, even if you successfully pass the written test with the help of cheating, you still won't be able to pass Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's interview.

These examination rules were approved by Qingmu University half a month ago. Any student who wants to be admitted to the two young academician postgraduate examinations is already familiar with them. Who would do such a stupid thing?

At 8:30 in the morning on April 1, in the boys' dormitory of the School of Mathematics at Beiyan University, senior undergraduate Liang Shaoping and his roommates had already sat in front of the computer, opened the exam in advance, and completed the login with their ID and mobile phone number. They just waited.

The exam will start at that time.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Except for Liang Shaoping, several boys have a thick stack of textbooks on their desks. Since the exam is open book, they are somewhat lucky.

If you forget some knowledge points, you might be able to recall them by reading a book.

Liang Shaoping did not. His desktop was very clean, with only dozens of pieces of manuscript paper as white as snow, two ballpoint pens that had been tried without any problems, and a calculator.

From September last year to March this year, for half a year, Liang Shaoping's life consisted of the library, canteen, dormitory, and playground. On the playground, he insisted on running three thousand meters every day. In addition, he gave up almost all entertainment and only retained

Minimal social interaction.

He knows that his talent is not as good as that of Wang Changai, Sun Bingfei and others. The only thing he can give is to work harder than anyone else, perseverance, and endless sweat.

Between this number of days and nights, he completed self-study of all the designated textbooks for this exam and turned them into three extremely thick handwritten notebooks.

Eventually, the handwritten notebooks became older and thinner as they were turned over. As of yesterday, Liang Shaoping had put the three handwritten notebooks on the bookshelf and collected dust.

All knowledge points have been basically integrated into his own knowledge system.

In fact, he did not keep these handwritten notebooks privately, but chose to share them with his friends in the dormitory. However, others did not have the perseverance like him. Even if they copied his handwritten notebooks, these knowledge points were not compiled by himself after all.

, in terms of mastery and understanding, naturally it is far behind him.

At this time, the other three boys in the dormitory looked at Liang Shaoping, who was as quiet as a mountain, with emotion and admiration.

Everyone says that the postgraduate entrance examination is hard, but compared with the time and energy Liang Shaoping has put in in the past six months, the hardship of the postgraduate entrance examination can only be regarded as "drizzle". If we say who among the four boys in the dormitory is most likely to be admitted to Qin Ke's mathematics graduate school, then

It must be Liang Shaoping's suspicion.

Soon, the time hand came to 9:00. All the students who were looking at the computer screen perked up and saw a prompt popping up automatically: "The test paper is being generated. Only a few seconds later, the web page refreshed.

A test paper consisting of five major questions appeared in front of you.

Many people were dumbfounded when they saw the title, and then they yelled and screamed.

Because three of the five major questions are actually in English, and they require answers in English! Oh my god, Qin Shen never said that to take the master's degree in mathematics, the English proficiency is required to be high enough to be able to answer the questions!

Those top mathematics students with poor English proficiency just stared at the English questions. Fortunately, it was an open-book exam, and the questions could be directly translated through translation software, but there was really no way to answer the questions. Of course, there were also smart students who thought of it.

Xiaoqing, the artificial intelligence of Lime Operating System, thought of first asking Xiaoqing to help translate the questions into Chinese, answering the questions in Chinese, and finally asking Xiaoqing to help translate the answers into English before uploading the answers.

In fact, if you move the mouse over the question and stay for a while, the Chinese question will also be displayed, along with a description:

"Chinese has not become a strong common language in the world, and the Xiaguo mathematics community has not yet been strong enough to formulate rules for the international mathematics community. It is still necessary to master English and other foreign languages ​​​​to a level of proficiency in order to be at the forefront of the international mathematics community, or at least to be at the top of the international community.

Mathematics papers in journals are required to be written entirely in English, and the sentences must be free of errors and omissions. Let’s encourage each other.”

In any case, these three English questions have taught a vivid lesson to all the top math students who did not pay enough attention to foreign language proficiency. By the way, the other two Chinese questions will also display English when the mouse is hovering over them, but they are just prompt information.

Change it to a string of English: "Chinese is profound and profound. Only by learning Chinese can we better understand the mathematical culture of Xia Kingdom."

Liang Shaoping's English level is good. After all, he is someone who has participated in IMO. Especially in order to study Qin Ke's papers published in international journals, Liang Shaoping worked hard on English in college. He passed CET-6 with high scores.

, at this time, it is not difficult to read the English questions and write in English.

He elaborated on the topic: "1.A biased has probability p of shorobability q of showing a tail, where p≠0,q≠0 and p≠q. when the is tossed repeatedly,runs occur..."

At first glance, this is just a probability question, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are several parameters in it, including strength, angle, friction of landing, etc. It also involves mathematical modeling issues, asking how to improve

The probability of heads when tossing a coin.

This question alone involves "A modern introdu to probability and statistics (Chinese translation: A modern introduction to probability theory and statistics)", "ure oialysis (Chinese translation: New Lectures on Mathematical Analysis)", "mathematialysis of Jimidovich (Chinese translation: A modern introduction to probability theory and statistics)"

Translated name: Jimmy Dovich Mathematical Analysis)", "Geometry Theory and Branch Problems of Ordinary Differential Equations", "Introduction to Calculus and Mathematical Analysis", "Mathematical Modeling Methods and Their Applications" and other seven Chinese and English reference textbooks!

Fortunately, although there are many knowledge points involved, and although students' ability to comprehensively apply knowledge is very important, it is not deliberately difficult for the candidates. As long as the candidates fully master the contents of the seven textbooks, they can still complete it in half an hour.

Liang Shaoping spent nearly 20 minutes on the draft paper and then started writing on the official answer sheet.

The final time to complete this question was 27 minutes.

Liang Shaoping wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little more confident. He continued to work and found that the following questions were basically complex questions that involved knowledge points from several textbooks at the same time. What really matters is the candidates' proficiency in using each knowledge.

point level.

The more he did it, the more surprised he became, and the more he did it, the more impressed he became. As the saying goes, the level of the question maker is most easily reflected in the questions. Every question in this test paper can be called a classic. It will never only focus on knowledge points in a single subject direction.

Instead, it guides candidates to actively use mathematical knowledge in multiple sub-fields to solve problems they may encounter in real life.

Being able to come up with such a sophisticated question shows that Qin Ke’s attainments in all sub-fields of undergraduate mathematics have reached the point where he is so proficient that he can easily use them for his own purposes.

…

The other candidates did not think as much as Liang Shaoping. They frowned and frowned. Even if there were textbooks that they could read at any time or they could search for ideas online, these test questions could not be solved by just reading the textbooks. If they did not truly master the knowledge

Point, it's useless if you read the tutorial to pieces.

Not only candidates study these test questions, many domestic mathematics professors, experts, enthusiasts and media have tried their best to obtain some of the test questions for study. Many self-media public accounts even "live broadcast problem solving" in order to attract attention. More

Crowds of people gathered around to watch this most special postgraduate admissions examination in history.

# Academician Qin, Academician Ning’s Postgraduate Recruitment Written Exam Questions# quickly became the most popular hot search, but most people could only say "I don’t understand, I don’t understand, 666".

Many professors actually study these topics with a picky mentality. After all, it is extremely rare for even a very famous mathematics professor to have a hundred students competing for his graduate school quota, let alone someone like Qin Ke.

, like Ning Qingyun, there are hundreds of thousands of students from all over the world who burn the midnight oil to prepare for the battle for half a year, just to cross the single-plank bridge and become their disciples.

But they were all like Liang Shaoping. The more they studied, the more convinced they became. In the end, they had to admit that such a topic was too clever. Looking at the whole country, I was afraid that except for a few old masters, no one else could write such a topic.

There are so many questions, not to mention that at least nearly fifty questions are included in the question bank at one time, and there are fifty questions each in the master's question bank and the doctoral question bank!

Those academic Vs who "live-streamed solving problems" have even failed one after another. They have not seriously studied the dozens of designated textbooks, so they can perfectly solve any problem within an hour. Most of the self-media can only be embarrassed.

He laughed at himself, "As expected, he deserves to be the grand prize winner of the Philippines Award. He deserves to be the youngest academician. His level is high enough. I am convinced, hahaha..."

In the end, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun’s first written examination for the recruitment of mathematics graduate students came to an end with the entire network amazed and the candidates wailing.

The results of the written examination will be initially scored by Weiguang based on the standard answers. Weiguang believes that the test papers determined by the answer method will be directly pushed to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun in the background for approval.

The final results will be announced on the morning of April 3, and only the top fifty candidates will be eligible to participate in the interview held at Qingmu University in Beijing on April 7.
Chapter completed!
