Chapter 332: Chapter 222: My Dream is to Become a Biologist_3
This suggestion had Zhao Yi’s eyes lighting up.
Before, when checking the 3D tremor waveforms, he could only find a bunch of prime number solutions. Converting these to detailed 3D diagrams sounded impressive and carried great practical significance. It would at least provide a clearer visualization, making understanding of the waveforms more direct, rather than just imagining them in the mind.
Going by the first hour of discussion, Qiu Chengwen indeed came to discuss mathematics with Zhao Yi.
But, what was to come eventually arrived.
Qu Chengwen mentioned a visit to Yanhua University, they all went out the door followed by a big crowd. As it was almost evening, there was really nothing good to look at Yanhua University, students coming and going, sports field, playground and even the small woods, seemed teeming with people everywhere.
A large crowd walked out of the School of Sciences building, strolling around the university walking paths.
Qiu Chengwen, Zhao Yi, and Zhou Li were walking side by side at the front.
This time, Qiu Chengwen was quite straightforward. He directly brought up the Mathematics Science Center, "Our goal is to build the top mathematics research center in the country, the top mathematics teaching center."
"Research is one aspect, future teaching is also very important. I mentioned at the conference at Shuimu University, that we are nurturing our own Fields Medal winner."
"In the future, the Mathematics Science Center will become the country’s top math research and teaching base, its influence not just domestically but will also cover the world..."
Qu Chengwen said a lot.
Zhao Yi felt like he was listening to a leader giving a speech. While it seemed sincere, talking about the Mathematics Science Center didn’t have much to do with him.
Zhao Yi responded tactfully, "How is Shuimu University’s Mathematics Science Center related to me?"
Qiu Chengwen chuckled, thinking he had already been very blunt and Zhao Yi didn’t get it?
He shook his head and directly said, "I hope you can join the Mathematics Science Center. You will become a professor hired by Shuimu University, a teacher in the Mathematics Science Center."
Zhao Yi immediately shook his head, "I’m not even twenty years old, I still want to continue my studies in university."
"..."
Qiu Chengwen couldn’t understand, "Perhaps you can go to Shuimu University to study?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Zhou Li couldn’t stand it anymore, he stopped and bluntly said, "Zhao Yi is a student of our Yanhua University, Professor Qiu, isn’t it inappropriate for you to poach him openly?"
Qiu Chengwen shook his head, "Zhao Yi is not just a student of Yanhua University, but also a very important mathematical talent in the country. Shuimu University has the best teaching team, and the best scientific research environment, it would be ideal for his growth and research."
Zhou Li was left speechless.
By considering the country’s needs, Qiu Chengwen made it seem selfish of Yanhua University to hold on to Zhao Yi.
That’s too unreasonable!
Zhou Li was angry but didn’t know how to refute. He was not good at arguing with others.
However, Zhao Yi continued to shake his head. "I would like to continue my studies at Yanhua University. I indeed am counted as a mathematics professor, but only in name. I don’t have to participate in teaching or research, and that allows me to live freely."
"Zhao Yi!"
Qiu Chengwen sighed as if educating a younger generation. "With great capabilities come great responsibilities. You are a real talent and should not be wasting time in a university campus."
"..."
Zhao Yi took a deep breath. He believed Qiu Chengwen’s words were from his heart.
The tone of concern for the country and the people was difficult to fake, and Qiu Chengwen had no reason to manipulate Zhao Yi with broad concepts. He likely just wanted to persuade Zhao Yi to join the Mathematics Science Center at Shuimu University.
And...
Qiu Chengwen seemed to view him as a junior, perhaps thinking he was immature, and hence offered a few pointers. However, no matter the reason, it irked him to hear such things!
Zhao Yi remained silent for a moment, appearing to be contemplating something. Then he said, "But I still don’t want to go to Shuimu University, and it’s even more impossible for me to join the Mathematics Science Center. Right now, I should indeed lay a foundation, but not in mathematics, instead in biology."
"For me, mathematics is just a basic subject that I must study. Biology is what I really like. My enthusiasm will be in the field of biological research, not mathematics."
"Professor Qiu, you probably know that to achieve top-class research achievements in any field, the most basic prerequisite is to love that field."
"I don’t really like Mathematics, I just consider it a basic subject."
"I like biology, I like chemistry, and I hope to enter the fields of biological and medical research in the future. Chemistry is also one of the directions I am considering."
"Right now I must lay my foundation in the university, and the Biology Department of Yanhua University ranks in the top nationwide, not worse than Shuimu University..."
Now it was Zhao Yi’s turn to speak a lot. He reiterated his love for biology, hopes to become a biologist in the future, and not just a pure mathematician. He has a strong interest in biology and chemistry, not mathematics.
And...
"If Professor Qiu, you have familiarized yourself with me, you should know that I’ve already made some achievements in biology. My lab just completed a medical research project, and I’ve helped the Biomedical Research Institute discover a new substance in the medical field..."
"This is confidential, I hope you don’t share it."
"Alright!"
"I need to check the lab, and complete the recent project as soon as possible. I’m really busy, I apologize."
"Goodbye!"
Having finished speaking, Zhao Yi hurriedly left.
Behind him.
Zhou Li secretly gave Zhao Yi a thumbs up. He thought Zhao Yi had found a good excuse, yet didn’t realize that much of what Zhao Yi said was actually true.
Zhao Yi wasn’t that interested in Mathematics.
Contrarily, Benjamin was more into Biology, Medicine.
Isn’t studying the human body structure just fascinating...
