Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"Ning Chen, sorry to bother you, I came here to tell you something."

"Don't bother me. Teacher Jiang, please speak up."

"That's it. Someone from the Chinese Academy of Sciences just contacted me and said that Academician Tao Wei saw your paper published in "Nature" and would like to come to Shengzhou University to talk to you in person if he has the opportunity. Is it convenient for you? "

Ning Chen couldn't help but get excited when he heard the word "Tao Wei".

Ning Chen was no stranger to Tao Wei. When he was studying superconductivity issues recently, Ning Chen had already studied many papers published by Tao Wei and learned a lot of valuable knowledge from them.

Even looking at the world's superconducting field, Tao Wei can definitely be regarded as one of the top experts.

Ning Chen also felt a little flattered that Tao Wei could take the initiative to find him.

"Of course it's convenient. Do you need me to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to visit Academician Tao?"

Ning Chen felt that as a junior, it seemed a bit impolite for him to let Tao Wei take the initiative to come to him.

"Academician Tao also hopes to come to Shengzhou University for a visit. If you have no questions, I will reply to him."

Since Tao Wei also wanted to see the school, Ning Chen couldn't say anything else.

After that, Jiang Yue replied to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After hearing the news, Tao Wei also seemed a little excited. He quickly asked his assistant Luo Fang to book a ticket for him to fly to Shengzhou and prepare to go to Shengzhou.

…

A few days later, Tao Wei brought several people from the experimental group to Shengzhou University.

Shengzhou University received the news in advance and was ready to welcome Tao Wei.

Tao Wei's visit attracted great attention from Shengzhou University.

Even Liu Xu, dean of the School of Materials Materials, will personally participate in Tao Wei's reception.

After all, if we really talk about it, Liu Xu can be regarded as Tao Wei's descendant. Liu Xu must not take the visit of such an academician-level figure lightly.

Shengzhou University arranged an airport pick-up for Tao Wei and others, and Liu Xu also came to the airport in person.

"Hello, Academician Tao! Welcome to Shengzhou University!"

Tao Wei didn't like this overly enthusiastic reception and said helplessly:

"Hey, I just came over casually to take a look. Why is it so grand? You didn't ask Ning Chen to come over, right?"

"Well... Ning Chen still has experimental tasks, so we didn't let him come over."

Liu Xu and the others had discussed this matter before, but later they still felt that it would be more appropriate not to let Ning Chen come to the airport.

According to Liu Xu's idea, when Tao Wei saw Ning Chen, it was best for Ning Chen to remain in an experimental state.

"That's good. If you let Ning Chen waste time on things like picking up the airport, then I will be angry! Let's go there now."

After all, Tao Wei's main purpose of coming to Shengzhou this time was to have a good chat with Ning Chen. Other things were not important to Tao Wei.

Half an hour later, the car drove into Shengzhou University and finally stopped downstairs of the Materials Laboratory.

Liu Xu led Tao Wei and others to the laboratory where Ning Chen was.

The door of the laboratory was ajar. Tao Wei followed Liu Xu's guidance and walked into the laboratory and saw several people inside conducting their own experiments.

Tao Wei didn't recognize Ning Chen's face, but with his own intuition, Tao Wei immediately found out which student was Ning Chen.

Because this student looks the most serious when doing experiments, and his whole person gives people the feeling of being immersed in the experiment.

This feeling comes from the inside out, and it's not like he deliberately showed it because he knew Tao Wei was coming in advance.

In fact, Ning Chen was indeed concentrating on the experiment at hand. In his flow state, Ning Chen had long ignored Tao Wei's coming.

"Academician Tao!"

When Xu Zhou, Sui Feng and others saw Tao Wei coming, they quickly greeted Tao Wei.

Seeing that Ning Chen was still doing experiments there, Sui Feng quickly pulled Ning Chen and Ning Chen jumped out of the flow state.

"Academician Tao..."

Ning Chen realized that he was a little impolite and greeted Tao Wei belatedly.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xu quickly smoothed things over and said:

"Ning Chen is like this when doing experiments. He is very involved. Sometimes he even forgets to eat."

Tao Wei was not angry because of Ning Chen's performance. Instead, he admired Ning Chen even more.

"No wonder you can achieve so many excellent results at such a young age. It doesn't matter. I'll finish the experiment at hand first, and I'll take a stroll in the materials laboratory first."

Ning Chen did not dare to continue the experiment, but after seeing Liu Xu giving his affirmative signal, Ning Chen felt relieved to continue the unfinished work.

Liu Xu took Tao Wei and others around the materials laboratory building.

Because the School of Materials Science and Technology of Shengzhou University has purchased a lot of new experimental equipment in the past two years, Tao Wei is quite satisfied with the environment of the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University.

After Ning Chen and others completed this set of experiments, they did not continue with the subsequent experiments. After recording the experimental data, they packed up the various equipment and reagents on the experimental table.

After a while, Tao Wei and others returned to the laboratory where Ning Chen was.

"Ning Chen, I came here rashly this time, which is indeed a little disturbing. But after reading the three papers you recently published in "Nature", I really want to chat with you in person. I hope you won't be too offended. "

Naturally, Ning Chen would not feel that Tao Wei's arrival would disturb him. After all, this kind of opportunity to communicate face-to-face with an academician-level figure was very precious.

Even students below the academician level may not have the opportunity to see academicians a few times a year, because academicians are very busy and have many things to deal with every day.

"Academician Tao, this is my honor. When I was studying iron-based superconductivity, I read many of your papers and I really benefited a lot."

Tao Wei was in a good mood after hearing Ning Chen's words.

As one of the leaders in the field of iron-based superconductivity research, Tao Wei knew that Ning Chen had probably read his paper.

In the following time, Tao Wei and Ning Chen chatted about iron-based superconductivity.

Through chatting with Ning Chen, Tao Wei confirmed that Ning Chen had really studied his thesis seriously, and even Ning Chen could talk about some details in his thesis very familiarly.

"Ning Chen, I think you understand the content of my paper in more detail than my students." Tao Wei said with a smile.

"Academician Tao, to tell you the truth, I have reproduced all the experiments on iron-based superconductivity that you have done before. This allows me to master more details in your research content, and even some of the papers in I can understand the content that is not reflected in this way.”

"Reproducing it all? That's a lot of work."

"Yes, of course it will be much smaller than when you were doing the experiment, because the route has been determined and there will be fewer detours."

"Ning Chen, to be honest, not even all the students I taught have reproduced these experiments. It seems that I will have to be more strict with them when I go back!"

"Academician Tao, please don't say it's because of me, otherwise I might be resented." Ning Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Tao Wei couldn't help but laugh.

Next, Tao Wei continued to chat with Ning Chen about the contents of those three papers.

From Tao Wei's words, Ning Chen could confirm that Tao Wei had also carefully studied his three papers.

Otherwise, Tao Wei would never be able to ask these questions.

Ning Chen answered the various questions raised by Tao Wei very patiently. Tao Wei also listened to Ning Chen's answers very seriously, nodding his head constantly while listening, and sometimes made some notes in his notebook.

Even when faced with Ning Chen, a junior who was several decades younger than himself, Tao Wei still maintained a humble attitude, without any pretensions to being an academician.

After all, from the perspective of research on iron-based superconductivity, Ning Chen is already ahead of Tao Wei. Even if these results are based on Tao Wei's research, Tao Wei must also have a learning attitude, so that Only in this way can we keep up with the progress of the times.

After chatting with Ning Chen for several hours, Tao Wei finally clarified many of the questions that confused him.

"Ning Chen, this research of yours is really of great significance. It's a worthwhile trip for me and I learned a lot from you!"

Seeing Tao Wei praising him so highly, Ning Chen quickly said humbly:

"No, Academician Tao, you are so polite. I have learned a lot from having the opportunity to communicate with you in person."

Ning Chen's words were true, because in these few hours, Ning Chen's experience in materials science had quietly improved a few points.
