"Hehe, look, this is the scholarship I got!" He just left the office and called Feng Lin to make an appointment. When Feng Lin arrived, she held something like a certificate in her hand and smiled happily.

The so-called bursary is a full scholarship in the usual sense. Different from scholarships, bursaries not only exempt the winning students from tuition and accommodation fees, but also provide the winning students with a certain amount of living expenses for personal consumption.

It is precisely for this reason that the competition for scholarships is particularly fierce during the application process. Generally, in addition to requiring higher paper scores, foreign applicants also need to provide a beautiful domestic school transcript recommendation letter and study plan.

For different schools and even different individuals, the amount of the full award is different, and even the payment method can be divided into annual lump sum payment or monthly, quarterly payment, etc.

Princeton's application for full scholarships is undoubtedly the most stringent among many universities in North America, especially for full scholarships at the doctoral level.

Feng Lin wanted to apply before, but she failed to get a scholarship because she lost the competition. But after a year of hard work, she finally got the scholarship.

"Isn't it just a scholarship? If I hadn't been too embarrassed to apply, I would have gotten it as soon as I entered school." Seeing Feng Lin's proud look, Liu Yichen rolled his eyes and couldn't help but hit her.

If Liu Yichen wants to apply for a scholarship, there is no difficulty at all. There is no doubt about his grades. He has won several heavyweight awards. Even the president of Princeton University has the same attitude towards him as he does towards other professors. He wants to win

Financial aid couldn't be easier.

It's a pity that he is a billionaire and is too embarrassed to apply for scholarships.

"This is a reward for my hard work over the past year. What do you know! Only three students from our college received scholarships!" Feng Lin said proudly without being angry at all.

The tuition at Princeton University is still quite high. For their major, the tuition is 40,000 US dollars per year. Plus various living expenses, the annual cost is 60,000 US dollars or even 70,000 US dollars. Therefore, students often work hard part-time.

Work, then study hard to get scholarships.

Because the scholarship includes free tuition and accommodation fees, free medical insurance, and a lump-sum bonus of US$40,000.

It can be said that with a scholarship, any student, as long as they don't spend too much money, can basically study in peace and contentment for a whole year.

Of course, the competition for this scholarship is very fierce, and every year the applicants are extremely outstanding. Being able to receive a scholarship is also a symbol of one's own strength.

Often after graduation, with a scholarship certificate, you can get a very good job.

Like Feng Lin's college, there are so many students in one college, but only three people received scholarships, which shows how valuable this scholarship is.

"Haha, it seems like today is a double happiness. I happened to have completed the proof of Polignac's conjecture!" Liu Yichen said with a smile: "Come on, let's go out and celebrate."

When they arrived at the bank, Feng Lin transferred the scholarship check to her bank card, and the two went to a high-end restaurant together. This restaurant is the most exclusive restaurant in Princeton. The per capita consumption starts at US$1,000. Not many students are willing to spend money here.

.

But for Liu Yichen, eating here every day is just a minor problem.

"You are really perverted. Now you have proved Polignac's conjecture. Your high output makes other mathematics professors embarrassed!" Feng Lin said with emotion.

Polignac guessed that because Feng Lin was with Liu Yichen every day, she had some understanding of it. It can be said that it is the general form of twin prime numbers, which is a very difficult world mathematics problem. Liu Yichen has solved it not long after school started. The Polignac conjecture.

This means that Liu Yichen has published four papers in the "Annals of Mathematics" so far this year.

This is definitely very productive.

"It's far worse than Euler. At my rate, I won't be able to catch up with Euler even if I live to be 80 years old!" Liu Yichen said with a shrug.

Euler published as many as 886 papers and academic monographs in his lifetime, 58% of which came from mathematics. However, Liu Yichen has only published 26 papers now. According to this update rate, he will not be able to surpass Euler in his lifetime.

In a good mood, we tasted delicious Western food and chatted about some things, including things that happened at Princeton University, things that happened in the United States, and of course things in China.

For example, Feng Lin talked about China's first aircraft carrier, the Varyag, going on a sea trial some time ago. As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation not only in China, but also around the world. Although some praised it, some expressed it with disdain. I despise this as a backward aircraft carrier, and of course it doesn't matter, but I have to say that whether or not there is an aircraft carrier is a huge difference.

In the entire world, the countries that have aircraft carriers can be counted on two hands, and the number of aircraft carriers that are more advanced than China's modified Varyag aircraft carrier can be counted on one hand.

This means that the offshore navy is developing towards the open sea navy, which in itself is a sign of a powerful navy.

This kind of influence covers the whole world, and naturally attracts much attention.

If it really had no effect, it wouldn't have attracted so much attention and discussion.

"Your analysis was correct before. No one can stop China's rejuvenation. It may not be obvious at home. But when you go abroad and change your perspective, you can clearly feel the rapid progress that China has made in various fields in the past ten years." Feng Lin said with emotion: "Those who fantasize about the end of history are just idiots talking in their dreams. They are too arrogant. They don't know that hegemony also has its own periodicity. In the past, the sun never set on the empire, and hegemony also declined. The history of The pattern is always there."

"China will definitely revive and go to where it should be! For China, being the number one in the world is the norm. As for decline, it is just an accident. With the growth of the post-80s, 90s and even the post-00s, China's development in various fields will only get faster and faster. Many technologies that China has not mastered now will always be mastered by China!" Liu Yichen drank coffee and said with a smile: "Look, how many people are there in the United States now? Are you willing to study engineering, a purely theoretical subject? Basically, top talents go to majors such as law and finance. The 30-year de-industrialization here has actually meant that the industrial system is no longer sound."

"Everyone is talking about why the United States will no longer carry out manned moon landings. In fact, the most critical thing is that the industrial system is imperfect and can no longer explode as amazing industrial and technological power as it did forty years ago!" Liu Yichen said here. , also quite emotional.

Once upon a time, the United States' industrial manufacturing capabilities were unique in the world, and other countries combined could not even compare with it. Its strong industrial manufacturing capabilities, such as the automobile manufacturing industry, the United States' automobile manufacturing industry exceeded that of other countries combined, and it was easy for everyone to buy.

a car.

But now, in the automobile field, German and Japanese automobiles are the dominant ones. During the crisis, automobile giants such as Ford and General Motors even had to receive tens of billions of dollars in government relief funds to survive the crisis.

This is still the automotive field, and the same is true for other industrial fields. Except for high-end manufacturing, mid- and low-end manufacturing has basically disappeared in this land.

However, the number of jobs that high-end manufacturing can provide is always limited.

So this creates a problem, homeless people and unemployed people!

You can hardly imagine that in this land, blue-collar wages in the engineering field have not increased in more than 30 years.

Elites are crazily pouring into finance, medical care, lawyers, IT and other industries, and no elites are willing to go into the engineering field or theoretical research.

On the contrary, people from other overseas countries live here or immigrate here, but this actually has great hidden dangers.

"When you get your doctorate, we will go back!" Liu Yichen said with a smile: "Although this is a good place, it is still not our home!"

Liu Yichen never thought about staying here for a long time, but instead wanted to study, enrich himself, and implement his grand plan.

You must return to China before 2016, so that you can be safe.

"Well, coming here has shattered many of my beautiful illusions. This place is not as beautiful as I imagined!" Feng Lin said.

As the saying goes, you will become more patriotic when you go abroad.

This sentence is very reasonable.

Liu Yichen has come into contact with many Chinese scholars or Chinese scholars. Although they are here, they always want to find an opportunity to go back.

It’s just that the reality is a little helpless, because there are not so many positions for high-end talents in China, and the salary and benefits vary greatly, so these talents will always be struggling.

We cannot expect everyone to have the high moral standards of those old scientists. The reason why they are rare and respected is because they were able to give up the excellent life abroad and choose to return to China resolutely. However, it should also be noted that there were also more people in that era.

Choose to stay overseas.

Someone was playing the piano in the restaurant, and the superior piano sound made the environment here more stylish. The two chatted about world events and their views on various events. Of course, Feng Lin also complained about the Lakers, who had a shortened season last season.

Originally, as a member of Comey, Feng Lin was optimistic that the Lakers would achieve three consecutive championships and the Black Mamba would win his sixth championship ring. However, he did not expect that he would perform in the playoffs and be stopped in the second round.

As for the three brothers of the 2003 golden generation who played brother basketball, they teamed up to compete for the championship with huge infamy and entered the finals. However, they faced the driver and were defeated. The driver became a god in one battle and was praised as

After the millennium, if a single-core team leads a championship, the gold content is huge.

But obviously, as a member of Comey, Feng Lin still has great expectations for the Lakers this season. Unfortunately, she doesn't know that the Lakers will be worse than the next year, and the distance from the championship will be getting farther and farther.
