When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student
Chapter 719 Xu Songyao is about to retire
overseas.
The series of actions taken by China this year have already made the Western bloc uneasy.
Sanctions, suppression...
However, these actions did not affect domestic development.
The first privately-owned space station began construction; the first private aerospace technology company launched a rocket for lunar exploration; the energy density of energy batteries exceeded 1400Wh/kg; the HarmonyOS operating system, an independent and purely domestically developed system, was launched; and the lithography factory's experimental factory successfully verified its technology.
These achievements may be attributed to the fact that they occurred too frequently and at too close together in the country.
Therefore, most people in China probably don't have much concrete experience with this.
However, the situation is different for these Western groups overseas.
They had never seen such a rapid pace of development as China; it was simply astonishing.
Any one of these achievements, if made within the Bald Eagle Federation, could create a dark horse giant company with a market value exceeding 100 billion.
As for the culprit behind all this, everyone knows very well that it is Wang Donglai.
A once-in-a-generation genius!
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Donglai was at that time the most outstanding scientist in China and abroad, and had achieved the greatest success.
Mathematics, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence, materials...
A closer look at the professional fields Wang Donglai is involved in reveals an incredibly complex array of areas, with significant gaps between these fields.
But Wang Donglai is able to move freely and easily between these fields, achieving amazing results that ordinary people simply cannot.
There are countless individuals and organizations analyzing Wang Donglai's work.
Now, it seems that a breakthrough has been found in the research on Wang Donglai.
That is the China Mathematics Summit.
Wang Donglai's formidable mathematical dominance at this summit not only stunned scholars in the field of mathematics, but also shocked scholars in other fields.
Mathematics is the foundation of all natural sciences!
Wang Donglai was able to achieve such great results because he is a top-notch mathematical genius!
With extraordinary mathematical talent, one can enter other fields and use mathematical tools as powerful weapons to achieve amazing results.
The content of the academic reports at this Chinese Mathematics Summit, especially the part about Wang Donglai, has already been analyzed by countless scholars.
However, after seeing the contents of this report, everyone had the same feeling.
That is to admit one's inferiority.
Never before had they felt the gap between themselves and Wang Donglai.
In particular, Wang Donglai's exchanges with other scholars, even just a few words, can promote the great development of a research field.
The impact of this mathematics summit is unlikely to fade away.
The dignity of the International Congress of Mathematicians has been completely disregarded.
The Bald Eagle Federation's capital post proclaimed: "Wang Donglai, a mathematician, physicist, chemist, and aerospace dynamicist from the East... He has so many labels, and correspondingly, he has achieved amazing success in each of them."
The Times, a newspaper that never sets, also praised Wang Donglai in the media, saying: "The greatest scientist of this century, who single-handedly promoted the scientific and technological progress of the entire country!"
The French newspaper Le France, however, focused more on Wang Donglai's performance in mathematics, commenting: "For mathematicians, we may be living in the most fortunate and unfortunate era. The fortune lies in the fact that we may witness all the Millennium Prize Problems being proven and experience more of the charm of mathematics. But the misfortune also stems from this, as we will live in the shadow of a great man. If we cannot break through, everyone can only stumble and learn in his footsteps."
Clay Institute: "We are very much looking forward to Wang Donglai proving more Millennium Prize Problems. We have prepared sufficient rewards! If possible, we are willing to contribute more funds to support the development of mathematics."
Harvard University: "A top mathematician has shown us more of the mysteries of mathematics, and a top scientist will change the entire scientific civilization of human society. Without a doubt, Wang Donglai is such a person!"
"..."
Faced with Wang Donglai's terrifying academic talent, the West, no matter how unhappy it was, could only express its admiration.
The reason is very simple.
Science is science, and it will not become fallacy because of their slander.
If they deny Wang Donglai's academic talent and achievements, it will ultimately be reflected in their own actions.
The negative consequences they produce will also come back to haunt them.
Therefore, praising Wang Donglai at this time is not out of goodwill, but simply to protect one's own interests.
……
The praise from Western media for Wang Donglai was immediately relayed back to China.
Netizens who already admired Wang Donglai and aspired to be like him were naturally extremely excited upon seeing this news.
Those netizens who have always firmly believed that Wang Donglai is just a lucky person and that his real abilities are far inferior to those of the West, felt as if the sky had fallen when they saw so many Western media outlets praising Wang Donglai to the extreme.
However, such people are a minority.
Most people, seeing Wang Donglai's achievements and the praise he received from the West, would only feel a sense of pride.
Immediately, major domestic internet media platforms, numerous science popularization bloggers, and entertainment accounts began to spontaneously promote the topic and ride the wave of popularity.
As long as the topic includes Wang Donglai or Galaxy Technology, even if the content is just some outdated history of Galaxy Technology's development, it will still get decent traffic.
Originally, the sudden emergence of Wang Donglai in the past two years had already created a butterfly effect, causing national self-confidence to explode several years ahead of schedule.
At this moment, all of this also applies to Wang Donglai.
"Pillars of the Nation", "Important Instruments of a Major Power", "Strategic Scientist", "Chief Scientist"...
A whole host of titles were pinned on Wang Donglai.
Even many official media outlets in China couldn't remain calm and started praising and promoting the message.
……
Tangdu Jiaotong University.
Xu Songyao's office.
"How do you feel about the assessment that humanity's scientific civilization is the hope for us?" Xu Songyao asked Wang Donglai with a smile.
Hearing Xu Songyao say this, Wang Donglai sighed with a hint of helplessness.
He understood that Xu Songyao was joking, but he was still familiar with the media rhetoric used in the past two days.
In the online world, there is almost nothing that can be hidden from Wa.
The fact that Nuwa knew meant that it wasn't long before Wang Donglai found out.
Even now, Wa's voice rang in Wang Donglai's earpiece. "Boss, based on my observation, very few people truly recognize your academic abilities, probably only one in a million. Most people are just praising you online because of your wealth."
"If the boss wanted, he could have more than 5,863,027 adopted sons and 84,576,020 wives."
Listening to the information Wa spoke through his earphones, Wang Donglai's expression remained unchanged; he simply took off his earphones silently.
He said to Xu Songyao, "Uncle Xu, you know me, I just find these things boring!"
"The so-called hope for human scientific civilization and the unparalleled genius of mathematics are nothing but gimmicks created by unscrupulous word merchants in the media for the sake of traffic."
Xu Songyao smiled slightly, as if he was satisfied with Wang Donglai's answer.
“Donglai, this media hype is useless to you and you feel disgusted by it, but it’s not the same for other people.”
"Once you have a reputation, many things become much easier."
"Whether it's applying for research grants, securing projects, or obtaining professional titles, these are all great assistance."
"You have achieved so many academic results at such a young age, and you also have the giant dark horse company Galaxy Technology."
"With financial freedom and outstanding academic achievements, it's natural to have such a detached mindset."
What Xu Songyao said was indeed true, so Wang Donglai did not deny it.
"Whether it's academic achievements or Galaxy Technology, these things are ultimately due to my own abilities, not because of being born into a privileged family."
"Therefore, my confidence comes from myself."
"There are so many things in this world that interest me. It would be such a waste to waste them on areas I'm not interested in."
Wang Donglai spoke calmly and naturally.
Hearing Wang Donglai say that, Xu Songyao nodded in agreement.
"If more people had your way of thinking, many things and situations wouldn't be like this."
Xu Songyao murmured a meaningful sigh.
After saying that, Xu Songyao quickly composed himself and changed the subject, saying, "Actually, the reason you were placed in the middle of this group photo, along with the media coverage, I think you can understand the meaning behind it."
Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Isn't it all about vying for academic discourse power?"
"And I happen to be at the core of this struggle for discourse power, and with such ability and talent, I am naturally the best target."
Xu Songyao looked at him with agreement and said in a serious tone, "It's good that you understand this point. I was just afraid that you wouldn't understand this point and would become arrogant because of the media's praise."
Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, once said something very good: "If you stand at the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly."
"You are capable and your talent is indeed extraordinary, but to put it incorrectly, we have never lacked geniuses. Back then, a master would have been released as soon as he completed a major breakthrough. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen before it occurred?"
"Standing at the forefront of the wind, the stronger the wind, the higher you can fly, but what if the wind stops? Who can guarantee that there will always be wind?"
"Even if you have wings and can fly, you must remain calm in this situation."
“I was worried before that you were too young and impetuous to understand this point, but now I’m relieved.”
"No matter what, staying calm is never a bad thing."
"Many people don't support what you want to do. To be honest, if you didn't hold all the shares of Galaxy Technology and control it, things might not be like they are today."
"In the torrent of worldly affairs, it is already extremely difficult to gain a foothold; to accomplish anything on that basis is harder than climbing to heaven."
Wang Donglai was genuinely surprised to hear Xu Songyao say these words.
These words were already considered quite treasonous, at least inconsistent with Xu Songyao's status as the president of Tangdu Jiaotong University.
If this gets out, it will probably cause a huge uproar.
Wang Donglai quickly pondered what could have made Xu Songyao say that.
In the blink of an eye, I had already figured out the reason.
Xu Songyao has reached the age limit.
Born in 1955, he is 63 years old this year.
He should have retired several years ago, but because of Wang Donglai, he defied the odds and took over as principal just before his retirement.
In this way, even in special circumstances, the retirement age can be delayed to 63.
In other words, Xu Songyao will retire this year.
At the same time, it is precisely because he is about to retire that he said these things that he shouldn't have said.
Many thoughts flashed through Wang Donglai's mind before he finally spoke, "Uncle Xu, I will remember what you said."
"Doing scientific research is my ideal job, but my dream is to change the world through my own technology."
"In this process, I don't really care how much or what kind of impact a new technology will have."
"Money is not what I need, nor is honor."
"What difference does it make to me whether it's one hundred million, one billion, one hundred billion, or one trillion? I can only afford to spend that much."
If anyone else had said that, they would definitely have been mistaken for Versailles.
But this was said by Wang Donglai, and Xu Songyao had known Wang Donglai for several years and was indeed very familiar with him.
Therefore, he understood that Wang Donglai was not lying or speaking official jargon, but was speaking from the heart, so he smiled and said, "Donglai, I believe what you say."
"Uncle Xu, I remember you are a signal and information processing expert in our country. You have been delayed by the development of the school in the past two years, and I'm afraid you haven't been in contact with cutting-edge academic research for a long time."
"If you have time later, you might as well come and visit our R&D center. I believe you won't be disappointed."
Upon hearing Wang Donglai's words, Xu Songyao immediately understood that Wang Donglai had realized from his earlier remarks that he was about to retire.
Feeling gratified, he burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha, I see what you're up to. You're planning to make me work for you. You're even trying to get your own principal involved. I bet you're the first person in the country to do that."
Before Wang Donglai could say anything more, Xu Songyao continued, "Galaxy Technology's technology is world-renowned, and countless people are curious about it. If it weren't for my position, I would have wanted to go and see it long ago."
"Perfect timing! After I retire, I'll have plenty of time to keep up with your technological advancements, learn from them, and improve myself. After all, you're never too old to learn!"
Xu Songyao spoke with a hearty laugh, showing little sign of the bitterness he felt before retirement.
Wang Donglai didn't expose him, and laughed along, saying, "Uncle Xu is only 63 years old, still very young. It's not too late for him to do research and development after he finishes being the principal."
"With Uncle Xu's assistance, I believe Galaxy Technology will have a brighter future." (End of Chapter)
