Chapter 303 Strict Academician Chen

"I'm sorry, Professor Chen. I felt a little unwell yesterday. I really didn't expect that I would sleep for so long. I'm really sorry that I didn't come here without asking for leave."

In Chen Xianhui's office, Wu Bin apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't your classmate ask for leave for you?" Academician Chen Xianhui waved his hand very generously, "But physical fitness is also very important for researchers, so you should pay attention to exercise."

"Yes, I will pay attention." Wu Bin nodded.

After saying hello, Chen Xianhui suddenly sat like a boss and said to Wu Bin: "Judging from your thesis defense and the evaluations of professors, I can see that you are far more than just an excellent student, so I will not treat you as an outstanding student." Is it okay for you to treat me like a new graduate student?"

"I am honored to receive Professor Chen's strict encouragement."

"Hahaha... Very good. I will indeed be very strict with you, but from what I heard from Professor Liu, it seems that the stricter the instructor is on you, the more excited you will be?"

"Um???"

Wu Bin couldn't help but scratch his head after hearing this. Who does Professor Liu think of me?

Looking at Wu Bin's dazed expression, Academician Chen Xianhui laughed twice more, "Do you know what Professor Liu said about you?"

Wu Bin shook his head.

"He said you are an excellent student who can turn pressure into tenfold motivation."

"This...Professor Liu is too praised. I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it." Wu Bin waved his hand quickly.

"Excessive praise? Academician Pan gave you a higher evaluation. Do you want to hear it?"

"No, no..." Wu Bin waved his hands.

In fact, when Wu Bin told Li Yan that he wanted to study for a master's degree under Academician Chen Xianhui, Li Yan clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Go, go, there is absolutely no one at HKUST who is more suitable than you to study for a master's degree under Academician Chen."

After hearing this, Wu Bin felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "How do you say it?"

After laughing for a while, Li Yan replied: "At HKUST, when it comes to the strictness of tutors, Academician Chen ranks second, and no one dares to rank third. Let me tell you."

"Is it so exaggerated!?" Wu Bin was surprised.

"I also heard from a senior who has been in his laboratory that he is top-notch in terms of character and knowledge. He never accepts gifts or meals from students, and he works closely with those who exploit students to seek their own benefits. Unlike a tutor who has selfish interests and even unspoken rules, he will also give a lot of subsidies to graduate students. In addition, he is also a powerful boss. His status in the Institute of Physics can be said to be second only to Academician Pan."

"Isn't this good?"

"Listen to me." Li Yan glanced sideways at Wu Bin, "But he is really harsh and pushy towards students to the point of perversion. You should know that at HKUST, there are absolutely no monsters with high talent and hard work. Of course, in terms of competitiveness, even if HKUST ranks second, absolutely no one would dare to rank third.”

"Hey, why are you suddenly attacking me?" Wu Bin said contemptuously.

"This is not an attack, it's admiration, the kind of admiration that is as continuous as a torrential river."

"Go, go, continue talking about Academician Chen."

"Speaking of which, oh, speaking of the monsters of HKUST, for this group of people, it is normal for these people to find their tutors too incompetent and change their applications for tutors. But those who came to work for Academician Chen are basically because they are too strong. Those who are so high will be scared away. If two of the 10 students who enter the group every year can be retained, then this class is considered to be an elite group."

"So the senior also ran away?"

"Yes." Li Yan nodded, "It is said that during that time, the Tsuruta experimental group at Waseda University discovered that fluorine-doped lanthanum oxyiron arsenic compound has superconductivity at minus 247.15 degrees. Academician Chen, who was originally attending a meeting in Europe, Listen, I immediately booked a flight and flew back to school, and called all the students directly at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night to start work."

"Then there are two months of working without a break. Please note, this is not the kind of work without a day off, but 18 hours of high-intensity work every day without a break." At this point, Li Yan suddenly said Wu Bin waved his hand and said, "Hey, hey, why are your eyes shining?"

"Ah? Is there any?" Wu Bin quickly rubbed his eyes.

"How else could I say that you are the most suitable student to be Academician Chen's student? In fact, the senior brother with the high intensity could barely hold on, but he was kicked out of the group because he was too reluctant."

"What do you mean?" Wu Bin didn't understand.

"I can't keep up with the progress. It's useless to say it ugly. Hey, this is not the black man behind me. The senior complained about it himself. But after being kicked, he knew it was because he was not good, but he still couldn't help but complain. Academician Chen is really too ruthless."

Wu Bin: “If we all rely on favors, how can we do scientific research?”

"Tsk, tsk." After hearing Wu Bin's words, Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head: "You will become a doctoral supervisor in the future, and you will probably be as perverted as Academician Chen."

"Bah, what does it mean to be perverted? Is it called being responsible for the entire scientific research team? I know what you are talking about. It was because of this kind of high-intensity scientific research that Academician Chen was the first to think of using samarium to replace lanthanum as a research object. Finally, For the first time in the world, an iron-based compound superconductor with a critical temperature reaching 43K has been obtained under normal pressure, which represents the discovery of a new type of high-temperature superconductor by mankind."

Li Yan: "Why are you so excited? Abnormal is a compliment used by big guys like you. Although the senior said this with a bit of resentment, he still expressed his admiration for Academician Chen in the end. Although he He is strict with students, but he is even stricter with himself. Others work overtime, but he does the same, even later. If you don’t like hearing the word pervert, I’ll change you to another one. How do you think you’re a beast?”

"roll!"

Putting away this memory, in general, when tutors praise students, they first give a candy and then a stick. Now the candy given by Academician Chen is so sweet, Wu Bin really doubts whether his small body can resist it. The stick came after staying.

Looking at Wu Bin's slightly nervous expression, Academician Chen laughed and said: "I know people say that I am very strict, but strictness is also to cultivate students to become talents. Flowers in the greenhouse have no competition in the cruel scientific research environment. Powerful."

"And I also have a personal principle. As long as the student is in school, I don't care whether it is a positive or negative complaint. But if the student still has opinions about me three years after graduation, I will seriously reflect on myself."

"Students admire me." Wu Bin said sincerely.

Nodding with satisfaction, Academician Chen Xianhui continued: "Today is your first day of reporting. I have to explain some things to you in advance. I am usually quite busy, so I may not have much time for you to actually teach, but the arrangements are There will be no less schoolwork.”

Wu Bin nodded.

Then Academician Chen raised his eyes and said with a smile: "In addition, like Academician Pan, I also want to talk about physics with you."
