Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 165 A feast of physics, contrasting confidence, and free A-level research!
Over the years, the project support announcements issued by the Science and Technology Department have never received any attention from the public.

The public does not care what research projects the Science and Technology Department supports because they do not understand these studies and they have nothing to do with them.

This time is different.

One of the announcements from the Science and Technology Department was about Zhang Shuo’s research. Zhang Shuo is an academic star with his own traffic. Some media noticed that Zhang Shuo’s name was among the projects in the announcement and reported it immediately.

"Revealing the secrets: What research projects is Zhang Shuo working on!"

"Zhang Shuo's latest research: Theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and gravity, supported by the Science and Technology Department!"

"Theoretical physics research has made it onto the Science and Technology Department's support list for the first time!"

"Professional scholars explain: How difficult is it to get a project from the Department of Science and Technology?"

Reports were released one after another.

Although the research content is not as attractive as "gossip news", it still attracted a large amount of traffic, and many people expressed their opinions on it.

Most people were supportive and left messages saying, "Looking forward to Zhang Shuo's new research!"

"Putting the two basic forces together looks very complicated!"

"I seem to understand the title of this project, but I also seem to not understand it. I know about gravity and electromagnetic force, but I don't know how the two are related..."

"I do not know either."

"I don't know."

"Same as above!"

Ordinary people don’t know the connection between electromagnetic force and gravity, and professional scholars in the academic circle don’t know either.

Even the top physicists don’t know how the two are related, because research has never been conducted, and the conventional wisdom in physics is that there is no connection between the four forces.

Some people who have been following Zhang Shuo immediately thought of the "electromagnetic force and gravity" research that Zhang Shuo mentioned in an interview with reporters after winning the first prize in natural sciences, and equated the two.

"This should be the research that Zhang Shuo mentioned!"

"Looking for the theoretical connection between electromagnetism and gravity should belong to theoretical physics, right?"

“That sounds amazing!”

Ordinary people are very supportive of Zhang Shuo's research, and they also think there is nothing wrong with the Science and Technology Department allocating funds to Zhang Shuo for research.

The academic community doesn’t see it that way.

Many scholars couldn't help but complain during private discussions, "The connection between electromagnetic force and gravity? What kind of research is this? How can the Science and Technology Department support such a project?"

"Yes, the Science and Technology Department actually supports the research of theoretical physics, and it is a brand new theory that is uncertain whether it is correct or not!"

"I find it unlikely. Are the two fundamental forces related? Even if there is, it can only remain in theory."

What they criticized was that most of the projects supported by the Department of Science and Technology were application-oriented, and that even if the top mathematicians applied for pure mathematics projects, they would be unlikely to receive support from the Department of Science and Technology.

Not to mention theoretical physics.

It is puzzling that this kind of research received funding from the Science and Technology Department.

In addition, Zhang Shuo's theory has not been universally recognized.

Although Zhang Shuo's theory supported the experimental direction of the CP group and enabled the CP group to discover the problem of particle motion deviation, not to mention that the experiment has not yet been finalized, even if the particle motion deviation exists, it is uncertain how much it is related to the basic theory.

Perhaps, the so-called theoretical support is just a coincidence. After all, strong magnetic interference particle decay is a new experiment.

It is normal to have new discoveries from new experiments.

Most people in the academic circle believe that Zhang Shuo obtained the projects through influence and connections.

This is where the criticism lies.

Their judgment is correct to a certain extent, including Tan Youming, Zhou Gang, all the professors at Soochow University, and even Zhang Shuo himself believes that he obtained the project by relying on his influence.

Let's make a very direct assumption, if Zhang Shuo is an unknown scholar, then it is impossible for him to get a project from the Science and Technology Department.

Zhang Shuo doesn't care about himself.

When it comes to applying for projects, most of the time it depends on influence rather than competing on ability. A pure newcomer cannot get a big project even if he describes his research in a fantastic way.

This is a fact.

So it doesn’t matter what other people think about the project I get.

Anyway, the project is already there, and being able to do it is the most important thing.

The reason why those people say some unpleasant things is mostly out of jealousy. Since they did not get the project, they look for problems in obtaining funding to support the project.

The projects supported by Kejilu can also make life easier for the Source Point Research Office.

It's always good to have funding.

There are currently only three people in the Source Point Theory Research Office, including Zhang Shuo himself. He personally has no shortage of funds, and there is not much need to use the funds on a regular basis, but the funds are still very useful.

Attending academic conferences, providing subsidies to students, using mainframe computers or purchasing equipment during work and research, etc.

All of this requires funding.

Some small expenses, including computer wear and tear, electricity bills, printing materials, and even coffee consumed during research, can be reimbursed using funds.

With funding, everything will be comfortable, just like having a benefit that can be reimbursed at any time.

If there is no funding, many things will have to be paid out of pocket.

In addition, after having a project in hand, the research direction is also determined. The "Source Point Theory" is very complex. It contains the structure of four major forces, as well as the study of the relationship between the four major categories. It also derives many branch-type research. It can be said that it is a huge system.

Now that we have the project, the research direction is very clear, which is to study the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity.

"We may need to conduct experiments in the future to measure some special values. We don't necessarily need to purchase large equipment, and we can also cooperate with some laboratories with the conditions."

"These measurements help us to develop our research, refine our theories and more."

Zhang Shuo told Tang Haiyi and Guo Ping, "In fact, I have already achieved some results in the theoretical connection between electromagnetism and gravity, for example, I have worked out a weakened connection equation."

"Weakened means it's not quite accurate, so it still needs to be improved."

"In the direction of pure theory, our ultimate goal is to find the singularity of the weakened correlation equation and design experiments to verify it."

Tang Haiyi and Guo Ping both took a deep breath after hearing this.

Although I was prepared for the research, I was still very surprised after hearing what Zhang Shuo said.

If the research can achieve the goals mentioned by Zhang Shuo, perfect the theory and complete experimental verification, it will definitely become the most important achievement in the field of physics.

Research results of this level are enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Tang Haiyi couldn't help but whisper to Guo Ping, "Is it really possible? Professor Zhang Shuo said that we should study the theory and verify it through experiments..."

Guo Ping said, "I think there should be no problem in completing the theory. Professor Zhang Shuo's mathematics level is so high, and he has already done some research. I think there should be no problem in completing the theory."

"As for the experiment..."

Guo Ping didn't dare to say anything, he didn't even dare to think about it.

This was not a judgment he could make. He was just a newly graduated PhD and a small assistant researcher in the office.

Tang Haiyi nodded and said, "I feel very good to have completed the theory."

"The commonality between gravity and electromagnetic force... To be honest, when I first learned about this research, I couldn't believe it."

“Generally speaking, there is no relationship between the two.”

"My confidence comes from Professor Zhang Shuo. I have much more confidence in him than in myself." Guo Ping nodded in agreement, "Me too..."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Xingli came to visit the office. He looked very leisurely and looked around the office environment.

Then, he asked Zhang Shuo, "Have you been in this office recently?"

"I'll be here for the next two days. I plan to go back to the second floor tomorrow." Zhang Shuo explained, "I'll take care of the people in the group. I hope they can participate in the research as soon as possible."

Sun Xingli glanced at Guo Ping and Tang Haiyi and asked in a low voice, "Can I help you?"

"It should be possible in the future."

At this time, Guo Ping brought a cup of coffee to Zhang Shuo and said politely, "Professor Zhang Shuo, coffee!"

"Thank you."

Zhang Shuo nodded and said thank you.

Sun Xingli watched Guo Ping walk back and nodded, "I can help you now, otherwise you have to make coffee yourself."

"I want to start a project and lead a team in the future. It would be nice to have someone to help me..."

Zhang Shuo grinned, "You just want someone to help you make coffee? Why not just take a student with you?"

"You're right."

Sun Xingli smiled and said, "Whether it's applying for a project or guiding students, it feels so troublesome..."

He said and shook his head.

Sun Xingli came to find Zhang Shuo to have dinner together, but before he could open his mouth, a girl with twin ponytails appeared at the office door.

The girl had a sweet smile on her face. She waved at Zhang Shuo and said, "Is it okay to disturb you?"

"Yueyue!"

Zhang Shuo called out a nickname that he was not used to. On the first day that Li Liushuangyue came, she told him to call her "Yueyue".

Shuangyue, which means Yueyue, is also the nickname of Li Liu Shuangyue.

"Are you off work?"

Li Liu Shuangyue asked, then looked at Sun Xingli and pulled Zhang Shuo out, "It's time to get off work, right? Professor Dali is here."

"Let's go and eat together!"

"I haven't been to the third cafeteria yet. They all say the food upstairs in the third cafeteria is delicious."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhang Shuo looked down at the soft flesh on his arm and nodded helplessly. He felt that he had no way to deal with Li Liu Shuangyue.

"I go first!"

He shouted to Sun Xingli, then walked out of the office with Li Liu Shuangyue.

Sun Xingli watched the two people disappear from his back, scratched his head hard, and wondered if he should find a girlfriend.

mainly……

Why do I feel like I’ve been surpassed in every aspect by Zhang Shuo, who is six years younger than me?
Zhang Shuo has someone to help make coffee!
Zhang Shuo has a girl who actively seeks him out for dinner!
Not to mention academic achievements!
Sun Xingli reflected on the spot for a long time and finally figured it out. Every time he compared himself with Zhang Shuo, he felt that his life was a failure.

So you should spend more time with Luo Yongjun when you have time.

Luo Yongjun, great!

He is more than ten years older than me, and my wife is in her forties, she is by no means pretty, and she is also very strict.

In terms of academic achievements, I feel that there is not much difference. Since I am a dozen years younger, of course I am stronger.

With this comparison, I feel very confident!
……

While Zhang Shuo was living a leisurely life in school, the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics once again became the focus of the international high-energy physics field.

They officially announced the completion of the large-scale experimental deviation analysis method and made public the analysis results of six large-scale experiments at one time. The relevant data were uploaded to the high-energy physics platform.

"We have already established a partnership with the Nuclear Organization and have begun to analyze large-scale experiments of the Nuclear Organization."

Cao Mengbo said in an interview, "After each analysis, we will publish the results together with the Nuclear Organization, and allow all scholars engaged in research in related fields to view the analysis data."

“This way, the whole world can participate in studying the data and the underlying physics.”

After this news was released, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of scholars in professional fields.

Many scholars found themselves wrong.

It's really wrong.

After the previous experiments of the CP group, they even thought that large-scale experimental bias analysis algorithms became irrelevant.

If the unknown physical phenomena in the two experiments are the same, then we only need to study the experiments of the CP group, because the experimental signals of the CP group are clearer and no complicated analysis is required to discover the problem of particle motion deviation.

The situation is different now.

The CP group also released a lot of data, but because the experimental signal was too clear and there were no other parameters involved, it was very easy to analyze the problem of particle motion deviation, but it was impossible to analyze other problems.

Why does the particle motion deviation occur? It is impossible to find the reason by analyzing the experimental data.

The data released by the Computing Center is different because the parameters of the particle collision experiment are very comprehensive, and there is also a very important value - the deviation.

In the analysis of small particle collision experiments, Zhang Shuo published a function that shows the relationship between deviation and energy loss.

That has been called the 'Zhang function'.

Now large-scale particle collision experiments have more parameters and more content that can be analyzed. Because the data released by the computing center is very detailed, a series of studies can be carried out.

What exactly is the unknown physical phenomenon?
Now we can use the data to conduct certain analysis and research, and publish the results based on it.

This is a feast of high-energy physics!

Zhang Shuo also paid attention to the data information released by the computing center at the first time, and he couldn't wait to start studying the data content.

While using the Liplos-Pamir equation to verify experimental data, he suddenly thought of a question, "Perhaps, we can also establish a research task?"

He immediately set up the task -

【Task 1】

[Research project name: The relationship between electromagnetic energy loss and force field chaos in particle collision experiments (difficulty assessment: A). ]

【Progress: 1.381%.】

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 0.)
(The remaining progress requires 4950 scientific research coins.)
"..."

Looking at the display of the system tasks, Zhang Shuo felt very surprised, because the so-called "relationship between electromagnetic energy loss and force field chaos" is the "Liplaus-Pamir equation".

He just had the Liplos-Pamir equation to verify the data released by the Computing Center.

And then, can we set up a task to study the Liplos-Pamir equation?
"really!"

"Knowledge and memory are not recognized by the system. You can just use them as research results. The difficulty of research will not decrease!"

"This is like free A-level research!"
