"Professor Wiles!" Lu Qiujian waved to respond. Every time he saw his awkward hairstyle, Lu Qiujian wanted to laugh.

"I'm working here today, are you going to come in and visit?" Wiles glanced at Yang Yang and others next to him, "Your friends can be together too!"

"Okay, okay! Let's agree!" Yang Yang immediately pulled Lu Qiujian's arm and shook it for a while. Even Fu Wei, who had been extremely vigilant towards Lu Qiujian, agreed, "Yes, since you said so awesome, let's take us in to see the knowledge!"

Seeing their energetic appearance, Lu Qiujian couldn't refuse and walked forward two steps, "Thank you, Professor Wiles, I hope our visit will not affect your work!"

"No, wait a moment, I'll call the guard; after you come in, come to the second floor and come to see me!" After saying that, Wiles closed the window. After a while, the door of the institute slowly opened, and the guard waved to the three of them.

After confirming that they did not carry contraband, the guard pointed out the way to Wiles' office. As soon as he walked up the second floor, Professor Wiles was already waiting here. Lu Qiujian quickly greeted him, shook hands and began to recommend them, "This is Professor Wiles from our Department of Mathematics, the proof of Fermat's theorem, the winner of the Fields Special Contribution Award, and the Wolf Prize; this is Patrice from the Department of Political Science, from Congo, and these two are my compatriots, Yang Yang and Fu Wei from the Albany College of State University of New York."

"Hello, Professor Wiles!" Patrice, who was always careless, also learned to be reserved at this time.

"Hello, Mr. Professor!" Yang Yang looked at Wiles with admiration.

"Teacher... Professor, I'm honored to see you!" Fu Wei shook hands while sighing. Those friends at home could brag about a little star for a long time. I have to show off for half a month when I go back this time! This is an awesome person in the same unit as Einstein!

"Relax, boys!" Wiles patted their shoulders, "To be honest, I am really jealous of you, so young and so energetic!"

"Mr. Professor, if you still want us as young now, then other mathematicians in the world will cry to death!" Lu Qiujian joked, "It won't take long for them to find that the Goldbach conjecture and the Poincaré conjecture are conquered one by one. In order for us to find jobs in the future, you should leave some blank space for us!"

"Hahahaha, the world of mathematics is so vast. When you solve a problem, you will find that ten more difficult problems will await you! This road will never end!" Wiles smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you around. What places do you want to see first?"

"It's up to you!" Lu Qiujian looked at Patrice and others and replied.

"Then let's go!" Professor Wiles walked over the room one by one, explaining the origin of the office, and talking about which gentleman inside won the Nobel Prize or the Fields Medal for that year.

Needless to mention the School of Mathematics, the School of Natural Sciences also has masters such as Edward Witten, Freeman Dyson, etc. Freeman Dyson is the proposer of the "Dyson Ball" theory that often appears in science fiction novels. He has been thinking about wrapping stars and using stars as power sources to build a super large nuclear fusion reactor.

The School of History Research is led by various researchers to conduct research on art history, ancient history, Near East and Islamic history, East Asian history, medieval history and modern European history. These researchers are also authoritative figures in the above fields.

The Institute of Sociology is also conducting research on NGO organizations, which is also rich in funds and luxurious in lineup.

After turning them all over, Professor Wiles took them to the cafe in the forest behind. After ordering their favorite drinks, he asked, "How do you feel?"

"To be honest, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect such a famous place to be so small, not as big as the middle school I studied in!" Fu Wei scratched his head and said, "It's different from the high-end research institution I imagined!"

"There are mainly theoretical research here, and we will only look for cooperation when it needs experiments and verification! And the most important thing here is this!" Professor Wiles drew a circle on his forehead with his fingers, "So with these researchers, it is enough to provide them with sufficient funds, and it does not require too much scale."

"Mr. Professor, are there any pressure to work here?" Yang Yang asked curiously.

"Suppression? No!" Professor Wiles shook his head, "Here, no one will put pressure on the researchers except the researchers themselves; everyone independently engages in their own research, without formal guidance, no reporting, and no assessment. Trends The only motivation for these people to devote themselves to research is to curiosity about the unknown!"

"Will the school have no objection in this way? Will investors have no objection?" Yang Yang was a little unable to understand this model.

"Princeton Advanced Institute and Princeton University are two completely independent institutions!" Professor Wiles continued, "Although we are very close and cooperate with each other in research, the institute is indeed not under the jurisdiction of the university. As for investors, Mr. Flexner, the first president of the institute, has refused to accept all utilitarian and purposeful funding since the beginning of the establishment of the institute. We always find the world's top scholars first, and then determine the direction of the research, and then equip them with the various resources needed for the research."

This is different from the fact that a team is looking for a head coach. Some teams first determine the tactics and introduce players based on the tactics, and then find head coaches who can carry forward this tactics; while Princeton first checks who is the best head coach in the world, whether Mourinho or Guardiola, then introduces them, and then determines the tactics and forms the team; for researchers, there is no doubt that this model is more popular.

This reminds Lu Qiujian of a science fiction writer's evaluation of scientists. Scientists claim that the interests of all mankind are actually just using society's wealth to satisfy their desires. What is the difference between this and using public funds to protect mistakes? If scientific research is compared to protecting mistakes, then Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies must be one of the world's top clubs.

Just as Lu Qiujian was thinking about it, Professor Wiles turned his head and looked at him sincerely, "Lu, your second article will be published in the next issue. Have you ever thought about working here in the future?"
