The time passes quickly. 时间过得很快。 …… …… In late June, the result of college entrance examination came finally. 六月下旬,高考的成绩总算出炉了。 The whole families encircle in front of the computer, accompanying a Xiao Tong face is disturbed. 一家人围在电脑前,陪着小彤一脸忐忑。 This feeling, bets the ball lottery like World Cup simply. 这种感觉,简直像世界杯赌球开奖。 A Xiao Tong face is tight, will seek help the line of sight to go to nearby Elder Brother. 小彤一脸紧张,将求助地视线投向旁边的哥哥。 „Brother......” “老哥……” Lu Zhou patted her shoulder calm: „Do not fear, hands over the examination paper not to fear, but also fears a round of examination paper.” 陆舟淡定地拍了拍她的肩膀:“别怕,交卷子都不怕,还怕发卷子。” „Wú......” “唔……” Xiao Tong hesitant, finally the deep breath the one breath, input the examinee number and admission card for entrance examination number. 小彤犹豫了下,最终深呼吸了一口气,输入了考生号和准考证号。 The score appeared in the screen quickly. 分数很快出现在了屏幕中。 Sees the score the instance, the Xiao Tong entire portrait was the petrified technique was the same, dull there. 看到分数的瞬间,小彤整个人像是中了石化术一样,呆愣在了那里。 It is not because was lower than her expectation. 不是因为低于了她的预期。 But because...... 而是因为…… 620! 620！ The happiness comes is really sudden, Xiao Tong is much more excited screams. 幸福来的实在是太突然,以至于小彤兴奋得尖叫出声来。 „Brother!!! I tested 620!!!” “老哥！！！我考了620！！！” „ Does attractiveness, worthily is “干的漂亮,不愧是我妹妹。” Sees this score, Lu Zhou nods satisfied, feels for own younger sister heartfeltly happy. 看到这个分数,陆舟满意地点了点头,由衷地为自己妹妹感到高兴。 A 16 years of liberal arts line is 520, was higher than line enough 100 points. Although cast off a line compared with initially the scope, but was also quite powerful. 16年的文科一本线是520,高出了一本线足足100分。虽然比不过自己当初甩开一本线的幅度,但也相当强悍了。 Register water wooden Yanda (Yanshan University) possibly not too enough, but Jinling University is very steady. 报考水木燕大可能不太够,但金陵大学还是很稳的。 „ haha, worthily is “哈哈,不愧是我女儿,”拍了拍小彤的脑袋,老陆哈哈大笑,心满意足道,“我出去买个下酒菜。” Fang Mei white his eyes, scolded: „Couldn't noon drinking, have gone to the unit in the afternoon?” 方梅白了他一眼,数落道:“大中午的就喝酒,下午还去不去单位了？” Old Lu happy grinning with ear to ear: „Does not go, I and leader ask for leave! Today does not go to work!” 老陆乐的合不拢嘴:“不去了,我和领导请了假！今天不上班！” Both children are admitted to a university, at this moment, Old Lu only felt oneself are the world's happiest person. On this festive day, how can be short of cup white liquor? 两个孩子都考上了大学,此时此刻,老陆只觉得自己是世界上最幸福的人。在这个喜庆的日子里,怎么能少了一盅白酒？ The only regret is, Lu Zhou that boy mixed outside was so long, even mixed the domain of foreigner to come up, has not seen him to lead a wife to come back. 唯一的遗憾就是,陆舟那小子在外面混这么久了,甚至都混到洋人的地盘上去了,也没见他带个媳妇回来。 When can hug the grandson, Old Lu felt, this whole life has not regretted probably! 什么时候能抱上孙子,老陆觉得,这辈子大概就没有遗憾了！ One all day, the whole families celebrate a holiday to be the same probably. 一整天,一家人都像是过节一样。 Even to the next day, Old Lu had not enjoyed oneself to the full, but also proposed that must have one table of glee feasts, the entertainment relatives and friends. 甚至到了第二天,老陆还没有尽兴,还提出要摆一桌庆功宴,招待亲朋好友。 However Xiao Tong fears the trouble, dislikes the waste money, Old Lu must give up. 然而小彤怕麻烦,又嫌浪费钱,老陆只得作罢。 In the evening, arranging the tomorrow's interview plan, Lu Zhou to look at the eye to lie in the younger sister who on the sofa hit the King, spoke thoughtlessly to ask. 晚上,安排好了明天的面试计划,陆舟看了眼趴在沙发上打王者的妹妹,随口问道。 „Thinks that what specialty reported?” “想好报什么专业了吗？” good pit ended one game, after Xiao Tong has spurted the teammate, put down cell phone, seriously considered this issue, said. 正好坑完了一局,小彤喷过队友之后放下了手机,认真地考虑了这个问题,开口说道。 „Thought!” “想好了！” Lu Zhou „?” 陆舟“哦？” Xiao Tong nods, a face said firmly: „I plan the report finance!” 小彤点头,一脸坚定地说道:“我打算报金融！” The finance in the gold/metal is the specialty that the writing coherence and receives, the liberal arts science subjects can report greatly. Although needs certain mathematical foundation, but does not develop in the direction of fundamental research, must be many that the thing has not carried absolutely. 金融在金大算是文理兼收的专业,文科理科都可以报。虽然需要一定的数学基础,但是不往理论研究的方向发展,要算的东西绝对没背的多。 What is most commendable, Xiao Tong had own idea finally, rather than came across the issue on „brother brother” seeking help. 最难能可贵的是,小彤终于有自己的想法了,而不是一遇到问题就“老哥老哥”的求助。 This point also most makes him gratified. 这一点也是最让他欣慰的。 Nod of Lu Zhou applause: „Has the idea, can say why is the finance?” 陆舟赞许的点了点头:“有想法,可以说下为什么是金融吗？” The eye sparkles to shine, Xiao Tong said without hesitation: „Financial name, one hear like very rich appearance!” 眼睛闪闪发亮,小彤毫不犹豫说道:“金融这名字,一听就像很有钱的样子！” Lu Zhou: „......” 陆舟:“……” How can I say. 咋说呢。 Besides long not resembles. 除了长的不咋像之外。 Other places were really mother images! 其他地方实在是太尼玛像了！ Lu Zhou: „Actually the gold metallurgy is also very rich, you listen to metallurgy name, with the alchemy multi- shapes.” 陆舟:“其实炼金也挺有钱的,你听冶金这名字,和炼金术多像。” A Xiao Tong face compels ignorant: „? Real?” 小彤一脸懵逼:“诶？真的吗？” Lu Zhou: „Deceives your.” 陆舟:“骗你的。” Xiao Tong: „......” 小彤:“……” ...... …… Some people like, naturally some people worry, the college entrance examination is such a realistic thing. 有人欢喜,自然有人忧,高考就是这么一个现实的东西。 Fills in that day of volunteering, the engine room of some Jinling high school, had liberated the schoolmates, gathered here. 填志愿的那天,金陵某高中的机房,已经解放了的同学们,重新聚集在了这里。 It is said before filled to volunteer to first fill on the paper, then by the school unification input computer, their high school, was fills in now. 据说以前填志愿是要先填在纸上,再由学校统一输入电脑的,不过她们的高中,现在都是自己填报了。 Looks at wish in computer screen to fill in the form, Han Mengqi is sipping the lip, for a very long time has not moved the mouse. 看着电脑屏幕中的志愿填报表格,韩梦琪抿着嘴唇,久久没有挪动鼠标。 Very lucky, her two science subjects successfully attained double A, but the score actually and gold/metal big admission grade line played edge ball. 很幸运,她两门理科成功拿到了双a,但分数却和金大的录取分数线打了个擦边球。 Accurate, her score was enough, but actually can in the report, all look that this year the person of report many are not many. 准确的来说,她的分数是够了的,但究竟能不能报上,全看今年报的人多不多了。 Math...... 数学…… The math department of Jinling University, not seeming like what domineering is specialized. 金陵大学的数学系,好像不是什么强势专业。 Should not be many toward the person of annual report...... 往年报的人应该不多吧…… Swallowed a spit, Han Mengqi steeled one's heart, sets firm resolve, finally on the website, filled in Jinling University and applied mathematics specialized serial number. 咽了口吐沫,韩梦琪心一横,下定了决心,最终还是在网站上,填上了金陵大学和应用数学专业的编号。 As for that option that accepts the adjustment, she does not want to collude with, but hesitant, finally got the check. 至于那个接受调剂的选项,她本来是不想勾上的,但犹豫了下,最终还是打上了勾。 „Wants in the report......” “一定要报上啊……” Closes one's eyes, the small hand of young girl grips tightly in the chest front, prayed silently. 闭着眼睛,少女的小手在胸前攥紧,默默地祈祷道。 ...... …… Internally has treated in July, the Lu Zhou vacation almost was also near the end. 在国内一直待到了七月份,陆舟的假期差不多也接近了尾声。 Although thinks, when the Xiao Tong admission notice gets down walks again, but extends the vacation to be very troublesome, moreover he also has the matter to need to go back to process, did not stay internally. 虽然想等到小彤的录取通知书下来再走,但延长假期很麻烦,而且他还有事情需要回去处理,就不在国内多停留了。 Sat the flight that went to the east coast, after more than ten 20 hours of rushing about, Lu Zhou returned to the tranquil Princeton small town finally. 坐上了前往东海岸的航班,经过十几二十个小时的奔波,陆舟终于回到了宁静的普林斯顿小镇上。 Regarding most American university students, was still taking summer vacation at this time, and has put at the end of August from June. 对于大多数美国大学生来说,这个时候还在放暑假,而且会从6月份一直放到8月底。 However regarding the master's degree student, the stipulation of school is the stipulation of school, when returns to school specifically, naturally is the boss decides. 不过对于硕士生来说,学校的规定是学校的规定,具体什么时候返校,当然是老板说了算。 In some sense, the right of American teacher domestic is much bigger, because the teacher has the right to dismiss the graduate student directly, but even if in comparison the domestic teacher looked that you uncomfortable most are still only the card you graduate, right that because dismisses the student on school, and generally will not use. 某种意义上来说,美国导师的权利比国内大得多,因为导师是有权利直接开除研究生的,而相比之下国内导师就算看你不爽最多也只是卡你毕业,因为开除学生的权利在学校手上,并且一般是不会去用的。 But relative, the balance factor of power are also many, but this does not raise for the time being. 只不过相对的,权力的制衡因素也很多,不过这个暂且不提。 Lu Zhou naturally not when that not good teacher who squeezes the student, but will not make them relaxed. 陆舟当然不会当那种压榨学生的无良导师,但也不会让他们有多轻松。 According to his request, attains the offer three master's degree students from his here, will arrive in the school to report before July 15. If the visa issue, he can time margin in August, but should better not to tow to be too long. 根据他的要求,从他这里拿到offer的三名硕士生,会在7月15日之前抵达学校报道。如果是签证问题的话,他可以把时间宽限到8月,但最好不要拖到太久。 Before assigns the work to them, he needs first unable to meet with them, knows their situations. 在给他们分配工作之前,他需要和他们先见上一面,了解他们的情况。 Placed in the baggage the apartment, Lu Zhou went to a higher research institute. 将行李放在了公寓里,陆舟去了一趟高等研究院。 In going upstairs, happen to met Edward Witten. Lu Zhou just greeted with him, his then face welcomed pleasantly surprised. 在上楼的时候,正好碰见了爱德华威滕。陆舟刚和他打了声招呼,他便一脸惊喜地迎了上来。 „Friend of mine, you came back finally.” “我的朋友,你终于回来了。” Warmly was welcome to make to be confused by Weiteng venerable, Lu Zhou has doubts to ask: „...... What happened?” 被威腾老先生热情的欢迎弄得一头雾水,陆舟不由疑惑问道:“……发生了什么事儿？” Edward Witten smiled, only to say a word. 爱德华威滕神秘一笑,只说了一个词。 „Gravity wave.” “引力波。” Heard this word, Lu Zhou responded finally, the one who understood Witten to say was which matter. 听到这个词,陆舟总算是反应了过来,明白了威滕说的是哪件事。 Actually in February 16, the researchers of ligo team then announced, they use two detector successes of ligo to survey the gravity wave signal from two black hole merges. 其实早在16年2月份,ligo项目组的研究人员便宣布,他们利用ligo的两个探测器成功探测到来自两个黑洞合并的引力波信号。 But the related paper, was sent to arxiv recently, theory Physics by entire world is appraising. 而相关的论文,在最近被发到了arxiv上,正在由全世界的理论物理学家评审。 Although this month Lu Zhou is on leave, but he not completely and trend of academic circle comes apart, the time is paying attention to the new article on arxiv. 虽然这一个月来陆舟都在休假,但他并没有完全与学术界的动态脱节,时刻都在关注着arxiv上的新文章。 Even article uncertain each article on arxiv is useful, but the article quantity of some domain increases sharply suddenly, can explain some issues. 即便arxiv上的文章不一定每篇文章都有用,但某个领域的文章数量突然激增,很能说明一些问题。 Like last year 750 gev, this year the hot spot of theory Physics is the gravity wave. 就像去年的750gev一样,今年理论物理学界的热点便是引力波。 The Lu Zhou tone somewhat envies: „Really is...... the surprising discovery.” 陆舟语气有些羡慕:“真是……令人惊讶的发现。” Compares his „insignificant” the discovery, the gravity wave shocked without doubt. 相比起他那个“微不足道”的发现,引力波无疑震撼多了。 „Yes enviable.” Witten says with emotion heartfeltly. “是啊令人羡慕。”威滕由衷感慨道。 The success of gravity wave found, filled in Einstein general theory of relativity experimental verification finally together the defect „puzzle”. 引力波的成功发现,填补了爱因斯坦广义相对论实验验证中最后一块缺失的“拼图”。 If Einstein is also living, by this great discovery, can definitely win a Nobel Physics prize for his general theory of relativity again. 如果爱因斯坦还活着,凭借这个伟大的发现,肯定能为他的广义相对论再拿一个诺贝尔物理学奖。 After all initially he won is because successfully explained the photoelectric effect, rather than obviously greater general theory of relativity. 毕竟当初他获奖是因为成功解释了光电效应,而不是明显更伟大的广义相对论。 But this obviously is impossible, because 74 years later, the Nobel prize committee then stipulated that Nobel prize only to being alive person nomination. Even if will make an exception to the specially major discovery occasionally, the person who the impossible resembles to pass away makes an exception. 但这显然是不可能的了,因为74年之后,诺贝尔奖委员会便规定,诺贝尔奖只对在世的人提名。即便偶尔会向特别重大的发现破例,也不可能像去世的人破例。 Regarding the feelings of gravity wave, Venerable Witten sighs with emotion the deepest person probably. 对于引力波的感触,威滕老先生大概是感慨最深的人了。 The physics experiment uses for 100 years found the puzzle in theory of relativity, according to this trend develops, his string theory feared that is this whole life could not see was tested that day of confirming. 实验物理用100年的时间找到了相对论上的这块拼图,照这个趋势发展下去,他的弦论怕是这辈子也看不到被实验证实的那天了。 Next year Nobel Physics prize, almost does not have the suspense, certainly is Renard Vyse of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as his collaborator. 明年的诺贝尔物理学奖,几乎没有悬念,一定属于麻省理工的雷纳韦斯,以及他的合作者。 After all, the discovery of gravity wave, can be carved on the milestone of process of human history. 毕竟,引力波的发现,是可以被刻在人类历史进程的里程碑上的。 Stopped the feeling, Witten cleared throat , to continue saying: „About the gravity wave, the ligo that side invited me to help them make the data analysis, I guess that you should not have the topic to be busy now, does not know that you were interested in joining my topic? If you are interested, I can the present make my student help you go to the scheduled airplane ticket.” 停止了感慨,威滕清了清嗓子,继续说道:“关于引力波,ligo那边邀请我去帮他们做数据分析,我猜你现在应该没有课题要忙,不知道你有没有兴趣加入我的课题？如果你感兴趣,我可以现在就让我的学生帮你去预定机票。” Lu Zhou thinks, finally rejected this very attractive proposition tactfully: „Gravity wave is not in my range of study, is very regrettable I unable to help, moreover several days later I will be busy probably, cannot find the time.” 陆舟想了想,最终还是委婉拒绝了这个很有吸引力的提议:“引力波不在我的研究范围之内,很遗憾我帮不上忙,而且过几天我大概就会忙起来,也抽不出时间。” The reward duty of system gave him very big degree of freedom, considered due to efficiency factor, is promotion rank lower material science is obviously best. 系统的奖励任务给予了他很大的自由度,出于效率这一层因素考虑,明显是提升等级更低的材料学最佳。 Moreover Weiteng teaches the topic that touched upon, greatly possibly did not involve the gravity wave very much the core study content, but the experience of Mission rewards was the academic value is closely linked. 而且威腾教授提出的课题,很大可能并不涉及引力波的核心研究内容,而任务奖励的经验是与学术价值息息相关的。 Do not look that gravity wave proposition is big enough, perhaps but 10,000 does not sufficiently collect according to the experience of paper academic value reward finally continually, that may owe in a big way. 别看引力波这个命题足够大,但没准最后根据论文学术价值奖励的经验连一万都凑不够,那可就亏大了。 Witten: „That material science topic?” 威滕:“那个材料学的课题？” Lu Zhou nods: „Yes.” 陆舟点头:“是的。” Witten sighed, said regrettably, „that line, it seems like you have the arrangement, good luck.” 威滕叹了口气,遗憾地说道,“那行吧,看来你已经有了安排,祝你好运。”
