Chapter 144 144 [Harvard's admission invitation]
After the first paper caused a sensation in the industry, Xiang Nan was not complacent about it.
In the past two weeks, he has written two more papers, namely "Motion Resonance of Three-body Asteroids and Planets" and "Collision with Meteoroids Is One of the Possible Mechanisms of Comet Nuclear Fission".
Both papers were published on preprint servers and received a fairly good response.
One, the papers selected by Xiang Nan have extremely high gold content, and they are all papers that have caused a sensation in the industry, not the kind of papers that are written for the sake of scoring.
Secondly, Xiang Nan's paper output is also very high, almost one paper a week. However, well-known experts and scholars in the industry do not have such a high output.
The so-called money pressures slaves, art pressures pedestrians. Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. Xiang Nan's papers are so prolific and of such high quality that he can naturally win the appreciation of the industry.
For a while, the name "fangyifan" gradually became famous in the academic circle. People are becoming more and more curious about his identity and origin.
Because before this, there was no scholar named "fangyifan" in the academic world.
People can’t find his master’s thesis, and they can’t find his doctoral thesis. They don’t even know which school he went to or which teacher he studied under.
All of his papers are written by himself, and he has never cooperated with anyone. The data used are all public data, and there is no exclusive data from any laboratory or observatory.
These signs point to an unbelievable but unbelievable fact that this "fangyifan" is likely to be a self-taught independent scholar.
…
Although this is very rare in academia, it is not without precedent.
Famous physicists, Faraday, Joule, Franklin; great inventor Edison; mathematician Hua Luogeng, Wallis, George Boole; biologist Levin Hooke and so on.
It's just that most of them are from the last century, or even the last century, when science and technology were still very backward, scientific research methods were still very primitive, and science and education were still very poor.
However, with the development of the times, science and technology are advancing rapidly, research and development costs are rising rapidly, scientific research methods are changing with each passing day, and science and technology education is gradually becoming popular.
In this case, independent scholars who are self-taught are very few. Even if there are, their scientific research results are hardly comparable to those of scholars with large teams, high investment, and cutting-edge equipment.
But having said that, although human beings have been studying the universe they live in since the day they were born. But until now, people's understanding of it has not increased much.
Even the moon in front of our eyes, human beings are far from knowing it well.
Therefore, in the field of astronomy, it is quite possible to have a self-taught independent scholar.
In view of this, many organizations began to look for this "fangyifan".
He is self-taught and does research by himself, so he can achieve so many results. If he is equipped with cutting-edge equipment and high-end talents to assist him, then his research will not be heavenly!
In a short time, Xiang Nan received a large number of e-mails to his e-mail address.
Most of these emails are from institutions of higher learning, cutting-edge scientific research institutions, and top scholars in the industry. Some invite Xiang Nan to be a visiting scholar, some invite Xiang Nan to join the team, and some invite him to cooperate in research...
As for these emails, Xiang Nan rejected them one by one. The reason is that he is still young, only 18 years old at present, and he has to take the college entrance examination next year. Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so he has no time to cooperate with them for the time being.
…
Seeing this reply, the senders were stunned.
Originally they thought that Fangyifan would be a scholar who lived in seclusion and studied astronomy all his life.
But he didn't expect him to be so young, only eighteen years old, and he didn't even go to college. This is truly a genius, and a genius among geniuses.
In "The Big Bang Theory", in order to keep the North Korean prodigy Dennis Kim, Caltech is even willing to spend one-fifth of the scientific research funds to help him smuggle his grandfather to the United States.
It can be seen how eager these institutions of higher learning and top scientific research institutions are for cutting-edge talents.
Xiang Nan's performance is not inferior to that of Dennis King, which naturally makes the hearts of these universities and institutions tickle.
Harvard University sent him an email, if he is willing, Harvard is willing to let him enter without examination, and can also provide him with a full scholarship.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology also sent him an email, claiming that if he was willing to come, not only would he be able to enroll without taking the test, provide a full scholarship, and even arrange air tickets and dormitories.
The University of Pennsylvania also sent an email, sincerely inviting Xiang Nan to study at the school. Not only will he be exempted from entrance exams, he will receive a full scholarship, and he will also arrange top scholars to be his tutors.
All in all, one condition is better than the other.
However, although their conditions are very good, they are flirting with the blind. Xiang Nan did not accept any invitation from any university.
The reason is simple, his mission is to chase dreams with Qiao Yingzi.
Qiao Yingzi's dream is to enter Jinling University and enter the National Space Administration after graduation.
Once he went abroad, he separated from Qiao Yingzi.
So going abroad is impossible.
Xiang Nan did not reply to the email again, which made many universities very anxious. Worried that his asking price was low, so he chose another school.
So they quickly increased the stakes, and were even willing to give hundreds of thousands of dollars in research funding, and were willing to help him with visas, green cards, etc.
It's just that no matter how many emails they send, Xiang Nan always reads them and does not reply.
And his external contact tool is only this e-mail. There are no other phone numbers, mobile phone numbers, Facebook, or Twitter, which makes them a little bit blind.
For a while, the search for "fangyifan" started vigorously.
…
Xiang Nan was not clear about this action.
He is now mainly focused on writing papers to score points, and the other is on getting bored with Qiao Yingzi.
Now that he and Qiao Yingzi have moved to Shuxiang Yayuan, they can go to and from school together.
Although the distance is only a few minutes, for them, an extra second is also good.
In addition, they can run in the yard together to exercise when they get up early.
With each other as company, I feel extra energetic when running.
After running and exercising, Xiang Nan also helped Qiao Yingzi buy her favorite fried dough sticks, sugar cakes, and meat buns.
These foods are high in oil and sugar, and Song Qian has never given them to her daughter.
The result is that the stricter she is, the more Qiao Yingzi will be greedy. It's just that she didn't dare to disobey her mother, and no matter how greedy she was, she didn't dare to buy it by herself.
Xiang Nan was naturally not afraid of these things, and would take the initiative to buy them every time, making Qiao Yingzi's mouth full of greasiness, and he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.
It's just that in this way, she eats less at home, and often just drinks a bowl of porridge to be full.
So Song Qian thought she had a bad appetite, so she bought several medicine books and prepared to treat her.
