"Wu Tong, isn't he in school? He has been in school during the summer vacation and rarely left. He is so dedicated!" Pan Wenhua didn't know when Wu Tong would be able to officially appear in the outside world.
He asked, and the assistant Xiao An beside Wu Tong gave him a very clear answer. Wu Tong was working on a scientific research project and a key topic. Since August, he entered the Wu state and began to retreat. He could not be disturbed and waited for Wu Tong to come out on his own.
As Wu Tong's teachers, they were no strangers to the renowned Wu state, his closed-door research. Each time Wu Tong entered this unique state of concentrated research, ignoring the outside world, it marked the birth of a significant achievement.
The proof of Zhou's conjecture, the proof of the twin prime conjecture,... the proof of the Goldbach conjecture, these great achievements that shocked the world were all achieved by Wu Tong in a state of seclusion.
Thinking of what Wu Tong had said before about the topic she was researching, they all hoped that Wu Tong could make further progress on the NS equation.
They did not force their expectations. Wu Tong immediately produced a solution in this field, just like last year's paper on flow field and limit solution of nonlinear equations. They were all excited about the phased results.
Therefore, at this time, any action that disturbs Wu Tong's research state is not allowed here.
Pan Wenhua and Sun Rong were laughing it off, and Zhou Wenping cooperated with them tacitly. They didn't make Sun Rong confused, but it was obvious that without them confessing, Sun Rong had no chance of finding out any truth from them.
"My Dean Pan, Dean Zhou, we are not outsiders. My heart is with you and Professor Wu. Now it is a task assigned to me by the school, and I have to give an accurate response to the outside world. Please don't play with me. It's an emergency and it's urgent. Can you give me a specific answer?" Sun Rong had a tearful face and went straight to the point. He knew that if he kept beating around the bush, he would never get a result.
Dean Pan and his team were not in a hurry. With Wu Tong as their magical tool, the results they could easily produce would be enough to make the Academy proud for a whole year. But he was in a hurry.
"I'm not sure about the specific timeline. It depends on Wu Tong's research results, but it probably won't be too long. So, let's issue a statement saying that Wu Tong is currently researching a topic and is temporarily unavailable for communication. We'll give a directional reply before the postgraduate entrance exam!"
"Please support her and guide her more, don't let too much attention be focused on Wu Tong. Wu Tong is not a traffic star, he doesn't need all this traffic and attention!" Pan Wenhua pondered for a moment and offered a temporary solution to prevent the school from asking Wu Tong to intervene due to external pressure, which would affect Wu Tong's research.
Although this is tantamount to criminal behavior, the school is not so irresponsible as to not know the key points. However, this does not affect them, and it is better to take precautions before it happens.
Wu Tong has been in seclusion for more than a month. Judging from the speed at which she produces results, she should be out of seclusion soon.
However, research is something that cannot be controlled, so they will try to delay it for now. Once Wu Tong comes out of seclusion, those problems will be solved. If Wu Tong wants to continue his seclusion, that's fine too; they can just come up with a reason.
Anyway, the purpose of everything is not to disturb Wu Tong's research.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to release the announcement and provide guidance!" Sun Rong received a temporary solution from the School of Mathematics and left without further delay.
His original intention was to solve problems, not to quibble and offend people. He was able to hold on to this position because of his smooth and thorough approach, which was his famous code of conduct.
After Sun Rong left, only their own people were left. Pan Wenhua and Zhou Wenping carefully drafted a statement while discussing it.
"Wu Tong's been in seclusion for quite some time now. Is she planning to launch a major new venture?" Zhou Wenping smiled in anticipation. Regardless of how many astonishing materials science achievements Wu Tong had kept secret, she was officially affiliated with Peking University's School of Mathematics. Her mathematical achievements were the pride and glory of both the School and the Mathematical Research Center. As the head of both departments, how could Zhou Wenping not be excited?
"Judging from Wu Tong's final results, we can't put too much pressure on her. The School of Mathematics' development depends on the efforts of all faculty and students. Wu Tong can't be the sole proponent." Pan Wenhua's position dictates a more rational approach. Wu Tong's achievements should only serve as a complementary advantage. The pressure shouldn't be placed solely on Wu Tong, leaving her to shoulder the entire burden.
If that's the case, what's the point of having these people? Are they just sitting there doing nothing?
"The Goldbach conjecture that Wu Tong completed in the first half of the year is more than enough for our School of Mathematics to digest!" Greed is the biggest source of bad things. As the person in charge, he cannot allow the culture of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor to spread in the School of Mathematics.
Although, at present, the School of Mathematics at Peking University is indeed enjoying the glory of Wu Tong's achievements, the more so, the more they must uphold their integrity and achieve ever-improving progress under Wu Tong's leadership. They should not, without Wu Tong, immediately return to their original position, or even regress.
"We have to leave some loopholes in the admissions process and pay attention to the top students. If Wu Tong finishes his research early, he can still catch up with the interview and have the resources to select a few promising students to guide him!" Zhou Wenping suggested when the statement was finally drafted.
"We have to be prepared for this. I asked Wu Tong before, and she doesn't mind taking students. Moreover, with such a large institute as Wu Tong, the mathematics research department must be filled with talents. It would be a pity to miss this opportunity and have to wait another year!" Pan Wenhua nodded in agreement. People at home and abroad are now looking forward to applying to be Wu Tong's graduate students.
"We have temporarily prepared at least six places for Wu Tong, two for doctoral students, three for master's students, and two to four for postgraduate students!" Doctoral and master's students can be immediately put to use if they are well guided for two or three years. Wu Tong does not need to worry about postgraduate students. They can first learn from the master's and doctoral students. It will be their opportunity to receive guidance from Wu Tong when he has time.
Given Wu Tong's level, having her supervise ordinary graduate students would be a true waste of her time and energy. Wu Tong is still in her prime research period, producing results at a high rate. Her time is precious and cannot be wasted like this.
After much discussion, the two teachers drafted a statement and published it on the official account of Peking University.
[Thank you for your attention. Professor Wu Tong of our school is currently conducting in-depth research on a topic at the school. Professor Wu will be recruiting graduate students based on merit this year. We encourage all outstanding students to actively prepare and improve themselves...]
This statement immediately ignited the internet, sparking renewed discussion. Although Peking University didn't elaborate on when Wu Tong would conclude his research, the diversion was a successful move. Many outstanding students who followed Wu Tong were even more concerned about the announcement, which stated that Wu Tong intended to recruit graduate students this year.
