Capital Airport.

A civil aviation passenger plane flying to New York rose steadily into the air.

Li Ning is on the plane, and he will transfer to New York at Kennedy, and then transfer from New York to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The journey was destined to be very hard, and other passengers seized time to rest, but Li Ning seemed energetic, looking left and right as if she was looking for someone, and it seemed like she was taking a plane for the first time.

A little white boy sat across the aisle, pointed at him and said to his father, "Dad, look at him, are you the same as me? He is more naughty than me, always looking around, you said, this is impolite."

The white man quickly covered the little boy's mouth and showed an apology to Li Ning.

Li Ning was immediately embarrassed.

Children will not lie. The little boy directly told the other passengers about him. When he looked around, he felt that everyone seemed to have annoyed eyes.

He turned his head and said to the white man, "Don't you know me? Don't you know me? It's... superconducting anti-gravity..."

"What?"

"Superconducting anti-gravity?"

"Anti-gravity?" The white man was excited, "Is it a science fiction movie? You are a writer! I am very knowledgeable about Superman and have always wanted to know how Superman flies. How is it explained in your work?"

"this……"

Li Ning found that discussing superconducting anti-gravity is a huge mistake.

Along the way, he became much quieter because no one knew him at all, nor did anyone know the problem of superconducting anti-gravity.

One day later.

Li Ning finally returned to Alabama and got off the plane in Tuscaloosa.

The journey has exhausted all his energy. After leaving the airport, he just wants to go home and have a good sleep, and no longer has the energy to think about superconducting and anti-gravity.

The next morning, Li Ning got up with fatigue and went to the University of Alabama.

He was not worried about work problems at all.

Although I went to China suddenly, I had different treatments with results and no results.

If there is no gain in this trip, he will almost be destined to be dismissed from the school.

Now the school welcomes him back. The dean of the School of Physics, the head of the Personnel Department, and several professors stayed in the hall together. When he saw him walking in, he applauded and welcomed him directly.

"Ba, bha, bha!"

The applause was warm.

"Welcome to Professor Li to triumph!"

"This is our Nobel laureate, dear Professor Li Ning! At the same time, he is also our best colleague in decades!"

"Let me ask Professor Li to speak!"

Li Ning was surrounded by a group of people and said with a smile on his face, "I'm very happy that my theory has been proved. However, this is just the beginning. I believe that there will be discoveries in the future. As long as we continue to research in one direction, we will definitely gain..."

He said a few simple words.

The people in the hall immediately continued to applaud, as if they were approving what he said.

After the welcome ceremony of the School of Science ended, Li Ning went to the personnel department to renew his position, and then paid attention to his own course issues.

Everything was done and he returned to the office.

At this time, Li Ning was a little depressed to find that it was different from what he imagined, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

He is also a full professor of physics at the University of Alabama, and his work environment, treatment, etc. has not improved at all.

Of course, it's normal.

Li Ning is already the full professor in the school and has the highest scientific research position. He has no way to continue to improve.

As for how much bonus the school gives...

impossible!

The University of Alabama where Li Ning is located is to be precisely the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa, and is a public research university.

The University of Alabama is also somewhat famous, but it is not ranked high in M-National University, and its comprehensive evaluation ranks outside the top 100.

The most powerful major at the University of Alabama is public relations management, followed by barely scrambling into the top ten medical schools, ranking in the top fifty law schools, information, media, medical nursing and other fields, which are all recognized by the outside world.

However, the above has nothing to do with the School of Science.

The School of Physics at the University of Alabama is not ranked at all. There are only a few professors in the college, and some of them are part-time doctoral students. Li Ning is the best among them.

When the college has little scale, talents, achievements, and funding, they are naturally very small. They are worried about the maintenance fees of physical laboratory equipment, let alone give them a large bonus to the professor.

...

The School of Physics at the University of Alabama will certainly not ignore a working professor who has achieved world-class physics achievements.

In fact, long before Li Ning returned to school, the dean of the School of Science had already discussed with the person in charge of personnel, and they all agreed with one thing-

Li Ning, I can't keep it anymore.

Li Ning has achieved the most top physical achievements. If his superconducting anti-gravity theory has been proven, he will definitely win international physics awards.

If you just win the award, even if you win the Nobel Prize, it may not necessarily affect the position of a full professor. The key is that the area where Li Ning achieved results is anti-gravity.

As the international physics academic community knows, the most in-depth research on anti-gravity is Stanford University. Stanford University invests more than 100 million US dollars in anti-gravity research every year. Almost all researchers who have achieved results in related fields will choose Stanford University.

Even if you don’t choose Stanford University, you will receive the subsidies given by Stanford University.

Li Ning completed the theoretical experiment of superconducting anti-gravity, which proved that he would almost certainly work at Stanford University. It was not that he would definitely "change jobs", but because of the research on anti-gravity, he could only get the best environment at Stanford University.

The University of Alabama has no relevant talents, and there is not even relevant project establishment research.

Anyway, Li Ning will definitely leave.

Therefore, the School of Science and the Personnel Department all welcome Li Ning politely, rather than directly giving corresponding rewards.

Li Ning was a little depressed not receiving the reward, but he soon discovered that his life was not the same as before.

For example, there are several waves of reporters coming to interview.

The first ones are two entertainment journalists, which can also be called gossip journalists.

Li Ning accepted the interview expectantly, but when he heard the reporter's questions, "Zhao Yi did research with you, right? Are you familiar with him? How is he like?"

"How much do you know about Zhao Yi? Can you tell me? What many people are interested in is how he went from a Rubik's Cube expert to a top mathematician?"

"You think Zhao Yi..."

Every question asked by gossip reporters cannot do without Zhao Yi, because Zhao Yi is the focus of the news.

Zhao Yi is also very famous in Country M, but most ordinary people do not have the impression of him as a mathematician, not the Goldbach conjecture, not the Fermat conjecture, nor the three-dimensional tremor waveform chart, but the ‘super genius’, ‘Rude Cube calculator’, ‘top black-kick’, etc.

These are the labels that most ordinary people in M ​​Country evaluate Zhao Yi in their hearts.

Ordinary people don’t care about the academic circle, mathematical conjectures, nor do they care about mathematicians and physicists. What they care about is related to life.

The Rubik's Cube Calculator is Zhao Yi's first label and it is also the one that left the deepest impression. Many people are still using the original version of the Rubik's Cube Calculator.

That version is considered a ‘classic’.

Another impression is that it is a super genius and a top-level black-cai. Because Zhao Yi pointed out loopholes to Apple phones, and later some black-cai pointed out loopholes to Apple phones, but compared with the quantity and quality, it is really much worse.

Whether it is pointing out vulnerabilities in Apple phones or making Rubik's Cube calculators, they were all done by Zhao Yi when he was in high school.

So the public thought that, "Zhao Yi has gradually become a top mathematician from a black-care expert and a Rubik's Cube genius."

Of course the gossip media will care about Zhao Yi because Li Ning doesn’t care at all.

If it were just Li Ning's theory proved, they would not even come to interview him, at most they would just report it.

After the media reporter left, Li Ning's mind was filled with the name of "Zhao Yi". He couldn't help but shake his head hard and gritted his teeth, "I hate gossip media!"

In the afternoon, there were professional academic media coming to do the interview, and Li Ning's mood also improved. He looked forward to an interview of his own.

However, he was soon disappointed.

The academic media is very professional, so I asked about superconducting anti-gravity issues, which asked Li Ning to give a brief explanation.

Before Li Ning could be happy, he heard the reporter ask, "This time it is your research with Zhao Yi, right? We read the paper and you just published the theory, which is basically the same as what we did twenty years ago."

“…That’s right.”

"So what have you done in the cooperation?"

“…”

"We all admit that the theory is yours, but most of the experimental verification is done by Zhao Yi, right? Now the experiment has been successful, and everyone says it is your success together, but do you think you are stealing the results that belong to Zhao Yi? Because many people say that even without your theory, Zhao Yi can still succeed."

“??”

Li Ning was said to be stunned.

He thought about it carefully and found that it was really the same as the reporter said that the underlying mathematical structure was done by Zhao Yi, and the experimental method was derived by Zhao Yi using the mathematics of the structure.

So, what's the use of him?

"Not right!"
