Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 173 Zhang Shuo: This is the opportunity to surpass!
After Liu Mingkun received Zhang Shuo's invitation, he was very excited. He shouted loudly in the office, "Zhang Shuo invited me to join his team!"

"It's Zhang Shuo!"

"I will work with him in the future, doing the same research and the same project together..."

This was somewhat unbelievable to him.

He is just an ordinary associate professor at Capital University of Science and Technology. He worries about research funding every day. In the academic circle, he has no influence at all.

Who is Zhang Shuo?

He is a great man who will win the Fields Medal in the future. He is a very famous mathematician internationally and a genius in the field of theoretical physics who can construct a completely new theoretical framework.

In addition, Zhang Shuo is only 26 years old.

Even if we narrow the scope to the academic circle, the two are simply not from the same world.

Faced with Zhang Shuo's invitation, Liu Mingkun had no reason to refuse. He was so excited that he immediately booked a flight to Sudong University and couldn't wait to go to Sudong University to sign the agreement.

He and others explained, “What if we go too late and Professor Zhang Shuo changes his mind?”

"...makes sense."

That is indeed a problem.

So at 7:30 the next morning, Zhang Shuo met Liu Mingkun, who had dark circles under his eyes, at the entrance of the high court building.

"Professor Zhang Shuo, here I am! You invited me to join the team yesterday. When will we sign the contract?" Liu Mingkun said impatiently.

"Uh~~~"

Zhang Shuo's exclamation immediately made Liu Mingkun nervous.

He also noticed the other party's nervousness and quickly said, "Professor Liu, don't be anxious, come in first and take a rest. I sincerely invite you."

"I'll have someone prepare the contract right away."

Scholars joining the project need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and there are also some cooperation-related terms, including funding allocation, results distribution, etc. The agreement is relatively complicated and must be prepared by professionals.

Deputy Director of Administration Zhong Jingfen can do this, but she doesn't officially start work until 8:30.

Zhang Shuo took Liu Mingkun to visit the high school building. Knowing that Liu Mingkun had not eaten breakfast, he took him to the cafeteria. When they came back, they finally waited for Zhong Jingfen.

Zhong Jingfen helped prepare the agreement.

Zhang Shuo and Liu Mingkun discussed the terms. In fact, Zhang Shuo just asked Liu Mingkun for his opinion, and Liu Mingkun agreed directly.

This is not about chasing stars or anything like that, because for him, joining Zhang Shuo's team has only advantages and no disadvantages.

For example, funds can be allocated.

For example, you can find a clear research direction and share some research results.

At the same time, he felt that he was the weaker party, so he simply agreed to everything.

After officially signing the agreement, Zhang Shuo took Liu Mingkun to the Source Theory Research Office and met the other two members of the team - Tang Haiyi and Guo Ping.

"Our team is officially established!"

"Four people should be enough. Our main focus now is to study the theoretical relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity. Professor Liu Mingkun, you are at Capital University of Science and Technology. We can discuss the issue via video conference."

The team is officially confirmed.

Liu Mingkun stayed at Suzhou University for one day and flew back to the capital the next day.

The research officially began.

Zhang Shuo devotes himself to research work. For the team, he will assign research tasks to everyone. When encountering difficulties, he will let everyone think in the same direction and then discuss together.

With the correct direction guided by the task system, the research content will be very clear and the progress will be very smooth.

There is a saying that goes, three incompetent generals are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Tang Haiyi, Guo Ping, and Liu Mingkun, three young PhDs in theoretical physics, are all smart people among smart people. When the three of them are together, with a clear research direction, most of the problems they encounter have solutions.

So the research went very smoothly.

Of course, they will also encounter problems that are difficult to solve, especially when it comes to key research points, they will discuss the next direction of argumentation.

At this time, you need to spend krypton coins to solve the problem.

Zhang Shuo has always hoped to spend 1000 coins so that he can unlock new tasks. New tasks are very important. In the future, tasks such as experiments may occupy the task bar for a long time.

There are no experimental tasks now, and two task bars are occupied, so only one can be freed.

With one more taskbar, you can have one more simultaneous research.

Every time you spend coins, the research progress can be greatly improved and the direction of the next step of demonstration can be guided. The effect is very obvious.

……

In the eyes of most scholars, research work is very distressing, but several people in Zhang Shuo's team enjoy it very much because they feel that the research has been making progress and has not encountered any problems.

Whenever encountering difficulties, Zhang Shuo would step forward to solve the problem and then proceed to the next step of argumentation.

Tang Haiyi and Guo Ping are both newcomers. They have just started working and this is their first time joining a formal scientific research team.

They were impressed by Zhang Shuo's level and the importance of teamwork. "Professor Zhang Shuo's level is really high. When encountering difficulties, he can quickly come up with solutions."

“Our research is progressing very quickly, and it feels like we are making progress every day.”

"I can't believe we did this. The proof is so ingenious and the mathematics is so wonderful."

"So this is what team research is like. It's great to have a team. I used to do research on my own, and every time I encountered a problem, I couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I tried. I felt helpless."

"Yes, we are a team. We think together and pool our wisdom. I can think of something you can't. No wonder everyone is involved in teamwork..."

Liu Mingkun from Capital University of Science and Technology has the same feeling. He used to do his own projects and research.

Whenever I encounter a problem, I get stuck for a long time.

It was the first time he knew that the team doing scientific research was so good. With direction, funding, and an outstanding leader, the research had been very smooth and the progress was amazing.

"Those colleagues who joined the team also complained about envying their own research team and so on..."

"They're all liars!"

"It's great to have a team. We gather everyone's wisdom and work together to make progress every day..."

"Professor Zhang Shuo is indeed very capable and always thinks of the key points..."

While Zhang Shuo's team was immersed in their research, a new issue of the Journal of High Energy Physics was published.

The second article is Zhang Shuo’s paper – “Gauge Theory of Energy and Force Field”.

The publication of "Gauge Theory of Energy and Force Fields" has attracted widespread attention from the international physics community.

This theory uses a set of equations to describe the relationship between various parameters in particle collision experiments, and analyzes the relationship between participation, unknown physical phenomena and energy loss.

All the physicists who read the paper were very surprised. They knew the importance of the research just by looking at the conclusion, because every parameter in the set of equations is very important and contains a lot of physical meanings.

If we study the system of equations, we can deduce a lot of things.

Therefore, this research is no longer just a research, but also contains great potential for follow-up research. They seem to have seen the door to the treasure trove of theoretical physics and can already see the golden light inside.

Of course, the premise is the correctness of the research.

Some institutions and scientific research teams were eager to verify the set of equations. The verification required data support released by the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics. After substituting various parameters into the set of equations, they found that the error of the results was very small.

This error can be attributed to detection, analysis and statistics. Of course, the accuracy cannot be confirmed yet, because the large-scale experimental deviation analysis data released by the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics is still very small, to be precise, there are only five experimental analysis data.

This is mainly because the algorithm is complex and involves a huge amount of calculations.

The second is that every calculation requires data collation work, and when it comes to data for large-scale experimental deviation analysis, the workload is still very large.

Many scientific research institutions and teams began waiting for the next data released by the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics, which is the experimental analysis data that had just been completed.

Some scholars simply go directly to the computing center to find out the exact time when the next experimental data will be released.

At the same time, I would also like to know when we can analyze and verify the data provided by the nuclear organization.

The Nuclear Organization Data Center made a special phone call to inquire about this. They have already shared the data with the Institute of High Energy Physics, but because the amount of data is so huge, the analysis and verification work is relatively slow.

When the work you do attracts worldwide attention and top organizations in the field call to urge you to complete it, under normal circumstances, it proves that the work has been successful.

But after the Computing Center learned the reason, many people had mixed feelings. Cao Mengbo said to Bao Hexing, "That's why I hate mathematicians and physicists."

"Our data analysis is still going on, but they have already calculated the parameter relationship in advance?"

"Does that mean they have predicted it in advance?"

“What’s the point of the data we publish…”

If the process goes according to plan, like the nuclear organization particle collision experiment, after each experiment, physicists from all over the world will participate in data analysis and research work, and then complete research results one by one.

Now the parameter relationship is "predicted" in advance.

In other words, they publish the data, and others use the data to analyze the parameters and then verify the "predictive research".

Cao Mengbo feels that the Deviation Analysis Group of the Computing Center has become a "tool team". A large group of people doing a huge job just to verify a "predictive research"?
Is it reasonable?
Even if the "predictive research" was completed by Zhang Shuo...

"All right!"

"Anyway, the deviation analysis algorithm is Zhang Shuo's. At least we have gained worldwide attention, which is much better than before."

"Oh~~~"

……

Under the attention of the international physics community, the deviation analysis data of a new experiment at the Computing Center was finally released.

Within twelve hours after the data was released, several related research teams announced that they had conducted computational analysis on the data and verified the "energy and force field standard equations", and the error was still "in an extremely small range".

This means that the new experimental deviation data still supports the 'standard equation of energy and force field'.

The 'canonical equations of energy and force field' were once again determined.

The news also made the media, with Today’s News reporting that “Zhang Shuo’s latest research, Energy and Force Field Gauge Theory, has attracted widespread attention from the international physics community and attracted many teams and physicists to conduct research.”

"Will Brown, a professor at California Institute of Technology and a famous high-energy physicist, believes that the gauge theory of energy and force fields is comparable to the research on Yang-Mills gauge fields and is of extraordinary value and significance."

"The research was published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, and the Institute of High Energy Physics' new particle collision experiment once again proved the correctness of the 'energy and force field gauge equations'."

Wu Jianning, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, was interviewed for this purpose and explained the relationship between Zhang Shuo's research results and the experiment.

He said, "This research is correct, which means that the unknown phenomenon in particle collision experiments is a chaotic force field."

"The chaotic force field, that is, the force field with uncertain mechanical characteristics, can be considered a collection of the four basic forces, or it may be a single force field."

"This research opens up a new direction for high-energy physics research."

"Before, physics research focused on matter and energy, but this study focuses on force fields, and then connects matter and energy from force fields..."

"This is a very novel perspective and a very novel research direction. Zhang Shuo has opened up new fields and new directions for high-energy physics and theoretical physics. I believe that many physicists will participate in the research in the future..."

In recent times, Wu Jianning can be said to be in high spirits, because the work of the Institute of High Energy Physics has attracted worldwide attention, and their experiments and new discoveries have become the focus.

Such achievements have also attracted the attention of superiors, including the Academy of Sciences, the Science and Technology Department, and the Science and Technology Engineering Bureau, all of whom have paid attention to the work of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

At the same time, Wu Jianning is also considering expanding the scope of his research.

To put it bluntly, it means applying for larger projects to conduct larger-scale high-energy physics research.

For example, building a super-large particle collider.

The domestic large-scale particle collider has been under discussion for more than ten years without any progress, mainly because the cost of building a large-scale particle collider is too high.

As an institute of high energy physics, they will certainly support the construction of a large particle collider. Only with large equipment and facilities for conducting experiments can more research discoveries be made. This is also the reason why the Organization for Nuclear Research can lead international high-energy physics research.

Wu Jianning also hopes that the research of the Institute of High Energy Physics can have greater development, so he decided to hold a video conference.

More than a dozen people were invited to the video conference.

Representatives from the Institute of High Energy Physics included Wu Jianning, Cao Mengbo, Gao Hongli, and Yu Fei. Others included President Wang Changli, Teacher Li Ming from the Science and Technology Engineering Bureau, and of course Zhang Shuo.

The video conference discussed the next development direction of the Institute of High Energy Physics. Topics included the work of the Physics Group, the CP Group and the Computing Center, as well as the direction of building large-scale scientific research equipment.

Zhang Shuo was invited to participate in a video conference, and he just sat in front of the computer and listened to other people's speeches and discussions.

When it comes to the work of the Physics Center, Computing Center, and CP Group, the main issues discussed are those related to funding, experiments, and personnel.

Other leaders participating in the video conference just listened.

After finishing the work of the internal project team of the Institute of High Energy Physics, it was time to move on to the key issues - large-scale scientific research and large-scale equipment construction.

Dean Wang Changli opened his mouth and asked Zhang Shuo a question, "Professor Zhang Shuo, do you support the construction of a large particle collider in China?"

The others listened carefully.

Including Wu Jianning and Gao Hongli, they all strongly support the construction of a large particle collider. The Physics Center will be able to carry out more intense experiments and will attract more well-known scholars to participate in the work, which will lead to many new discoveries in experimental research.

Wu Jianning really hopes that Zhang Shuo can agree. In many people's minds, Zhang Shuo has a very high status and his opinion is very important.

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "I object."

"Why?" Wang Changli was obviously a little surprised.

In his opinion, Zhang Shuo and the Institute of High Energy Physics are of the same mind, so how could they oppose the construction of a large particle collider?

Zhang Shuo explained, "Because we are behind. The Nuclear Organization already has a super large particle collider. After they upgraded the equipment, they conducted several experiments and found nothing new."

"Even if we build a larger collider, there won't necessarily be any new discoveries, and even if there are, they will only be small discoveries."

“Also, I think there is no rush to make a decision now, but we should wait.”

"wait?"

Wang Changli was a little confused.

Wu Jianning, Gao Hongli, Cao Mengbo, Yu Fei, and other leaders attending the meeting also listened attentively.

Zhang Shuo nodded and continued, "Yes, just wait."

"We have already made two unknown discoveries, including particle collision experimental analysis and the cp group. The investment in both discoveries was not high, and the new phenomena may represent new physical directions."

“New physics directions do not necessarily require more intense particle collision experiments.”

"So we have to wait for more theoretical results, more experimental discoveries, and for new physical directions to be clarified. Then, we can build whatever equipment is needed."

"The whole world is starting from scratch in a new direction. We can determine the right direction and then start building equipment to conduct experimental research."

“This is an opportunity to surpass!”
