The top student must be diligent.

Chapter 183 Submitted to Nature

When everyone heard Luo Mingya's words, they all looked at Xiao Yi who was present.

This is true.

At this time, Academician Liao smiled and said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, you just watched the defense, you can also comment on it."

As he said that, he handed the microphone to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to take the microphone, and then said: "Well... first of all, let me correct what Luo Mingya said. Today you are the best student. After all, I am already a professor, so you have to call me Professor Xiao."

Everyone present started laughing, and Xu Ming and the others at the back were laughing so hard that they were bent over.

Perhaps, only Xiao Yi had the ability to say this to their senior sister.

Luo Mingya on the stage rolled her eyes.

But who could have imagined this?
Xiao Yi, who was an undergraduate student last year, graduated with a doctorate this year and even became their professor.

"Of course, no matter what, Luo Mingya's paper has completely reached the level of an excellent doctoral student, and it is the highest level. Even in the academic world, it can be said that it is worthy of everyone's study. This is my evaluation."

Luo Mingya smiled at Xiao Yi's high evaluation, then blinked at Xiao Yi and said, "Thank you, Professor Xiao~"

The last drawn-out word "Professor Xiao" made Xu Ming and his companions, who had to face the inhumane words of the senior sister almost every day, open their eyes wide.
Xu Ming: "No, this is our senior sister?"

Liu Chao: "Something is wrong. It's very wrong."

Zhao Yuanyuan: “Hiss~”

……

After Xiao Yi finished his evaluation, Sun Lina, as a mentor, should have made some comments, but she just asked, "Are you really not staying?"

Then Luo Mingya had only one word: "No."

Afterwards, Sun Lina returned to her old ways.

Just like that, Luo Mingya's defense came to an end.

Then they started taking group photos. Luo Mingya, holding the flowers she had prepared long ago, started taking photos with the academicians of the defense committee.

As for her degree certificate and other things, she will have to wait for a while before she can get it.

Probably only Xiao Yi could enjoy the same treatment as Xiao Yi, who could get a degree certificate directly.

Xiao Yi had nothing to do with this kind of group photo, after all, it was the business of Luo Mingya and the teachers from the School of Materials.

Even Sun Lina was no longer listless and went up to take a photo with her cousin and student.

Then people began to disperse.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, you're graduating."

Luo Mingya smiled and said, "It's only a matter of time."

Xiao Yi asked: "I'm still quite curious, why are you suddenly planning to graduate?"

Luo Mingya replied: "Maybe it was because of what you said."

"my words?"

Xiao Yi showed a confused expression.

Sun Lina's eyes turned into dead eyes immediately, and she looked at Xiao Yi: "Professor Xiao, you actually want to kidnap my cousin? This is not fair!"

Xiao Yi: “???”

Luo Mingya rolled her eyes at Sun Lina and said, "Sun Lina, what are you thinking about all day? The words of Xiao Yi that I mentioned are the words that Xiao Yi said on CCTV, 'Never give up your curiosity about problems.'"

"I think you're right, so I think it's time to explore the question I'm most curious about."

Xiao Yi was stunned. Was it because of what he said?

"what is the problem?"

Luo Mingya shook her head apologetically and looked at Academician Li who was wearing a military uniform.

Xiao Yi nodded in understanding. It turned out to be a question of confidentiality.

So he didn't ask any more questions, and then said: "Anyway, I wish you success first."

"Thank you."

Luo Mingya smiled slightly, and then asked: "So, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I wanted to borrow your materials laboratory." Xiao Yi smiled embarrassedly, "Then I met Professor Chen on the way and learned that you were defending your graduation thesis here, so I came here."

"Is that so?" Luo Mingya squeezed her hands imperceptibly, then nodded and said, "Of course, you can use our laboratory at any time, but I should be leaving tomorrow, so you can just go find Sun Lina directly then."

She looked at Sun Lina next to her and said, "Sun Lina, did you hear that?"

"I know, I know." Sun Lina waved her hands and said unhappily, "Really? You're leaving soon, and you still want to control our lab, right?"

Luo Mingya gestured to Xiao Yi and said, "Okay, until your Science Island laboratory is built, you can use our laboratory in the future."

"Thank you." Xiao Yi nodded.

"By the way, can I take a photo with you?" Luo Mingya suddenly joked, "Maybe when I come back next time, you'll be an academician or something, and then I won't be able to reach you."

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "How is that possible? I wanted to invite you to be a researcher at the Science Island Laboratory after you come back."

"really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Xiao Yi shrugged and said, "I just hope that Dean Fei won't blame me when the time comes."

Luo Mingya chuckled: "Fortunately, Dean Fei is not here, otherwise he would definitely be angry with you."

"I'm still here." Sun Lina next to him said at this time. She glanced at Xiao Yi, folded her arms and said, "Professor Xiao, so you really want to kidnap our Mingya?" Xiao Yi said to her, "Professor Sun, you can also consider coming to the Science Island Laboratory. I also warmly welcome you."

"Well, this..." Sun Lina hesitated: "Let me think about it."

Xiao Yi smiled: "Just take your time to think about it."

"Don't think about it, take a picture of me and Xiao Yi first." Luo Mingya handed the phone to Sun Lina.

"Okay, okay." Sun Lina took the phone and stretched out her hand to direct the two people to their positions.

Until the end.
"Crack!"

A shutter sound was heard from the phone, leaving a photo of the two of them.
……

The matter was over, but Luo Mingya did not return to the laboratory, probably because she still had some things to deal with.

Xiao Yi came to their laboratory and started conducting experiments.

The main task is to prepare various high-temperature superconductors, such as copper oxide superconductors and iron-based superconductors, and then use various experimental equipment to analyze and measure these superconductor materials. Based on the measurement results and these samples, he will master the materials and achieve the final optimization of the XSC theory.

And just like that, a day passed.

The next day, Luo Mingya also set out for the military project, looking very hurried.

Xiao Yi originally thought that the project was urgent, but later he realized that Luo Mingya simply wanted to go there as soon as possible.

It also made him curious about what this mysterious project was studying.

However, since it was a secret after all, he could only suppress his curiosity.

Time began to pass slowly.

Next, Xiao Yi, who would run to Sun Lina's laboratory whenever he had time, seemed to have inadvertently replaced Senior Sister Luo Mingya's identity and became the senior brother of Xu Ming and his colleagues. Sometimes when Xu Ming and his colleagues encountered problems in their research, Xiao Yi would occasionally provide guidance.

Of course, the main reason is that I often use other people’s laboratories, and I would feel bad if I didn’t do something for them.

In addition, Sun Lina finally and reluctantly stopped her idleness and started doing research, which amazed Xu Ming and others. It turned out that their teacher had such an amazing skill?
He is indeed a veteran genius who also graduated from the junior class.

And so, about a month passed.

……

"OK, finally done!"

In the dormitory, Xiao Yi looked at the paper on the computer and smiled with satisfaction.

After a month, he had optimized the XSC theory to a level that was perfect from an academic perspective.

With the help of this optimized theory, various phenomena in high-temperature superconductors can be explained mathematically in the most approximate way. Even if there are still experimental errors, these errors can be ignored.

Most importantly, he found the connection between copper oxide high-temperature superconductors and iron-based high-temperature superconductors, allowing them to be classified into such a superconducting mechanism.

This can probably be considered an incredible breakthrough in superconducting physics.

You should know that in actual research, there are differences in the superconducting mechanisms of copper oxide high-temperature superconductors such as yttrium barium copper oxide and iron-based high-temperature superconductors such as FeSCs.

However, Xiao Yi unified the mechanisms of the two!
Unification is an extremely important thing, whether it is for physics, mathematics, or anything else.

"But the problem is that those low-temperature iron-based superconductors and the BCS theory cannot be unified with the XSC theory."

"There's still something missing."

Xiao Yi was in deep thought.

But no matter how hard he thought, he could not find any common ground between so many different superconductors.

"It's impossible that the superconductivity mechanism cannot be unified, right?"

He frowned.

One of the ideas in his philosophy of science is that all problems can be unified theoretically.

Just like the grand unified theory pursued by the physics community and the Langlands program pursued by the mathematics community.

but now……

These superconductivity mechanisms are so complex that they don't seem to describe a single phenomenon.

For a moment, he couldn't help but think jokingly.

Could it be that unifying all these mechanisms might even help him find room-temperature superconductors?

"Well, don't think too much about it."

He shook his head and then looked at the paper on the computer.

“Publish a paper.”

Who should I submit my article to this time?
Finally, without giving it much thought, he decided on his target.

After some operations on the computer, he submitted the paper to Nature. Nature would probably not reject such a major breakthrough in the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.

After finishing this matter, he was shocked: "Okay, the high-temperature superconductivity mechanism is figured out, the next step... is to synthesize high-temperature superconductors."

This is the real big project!
Theoretical things can only be limited to theory. Only by putting them into practice can the correctness of the theory be ultimately verified.

"And maybe, if I can synthesize the high-temperature superconductor I want, it can also help me unify all superconductivity theories?"

Such a thought made him smile: "It's useless to think so much, let's first synthesize a high-temperature superconductor that can replace niobium-titanium alloy."

"As for now..."

He touched his stomach and said, "It's time to eat."
