Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 174 Nobel's immeasurable achievements!

The video conference on experimental directions organized by the Institute of High Energy Physics is just an internal discussion, and participants can express their opinions.

The Institute of High Energy Physics hopes to build large-scale equipment to carry out more advanced experimental research, and what they can think of is the Super Large Particle Collider.

With the experimental results in recent times, we can propose and demonstrate it again.

At such meetings, Zhang Shuo's opinion is very important because the recent research results of the Institute of High Energy Physics are all related to him.

Wu Jianning, Gao Hongli and others did not expect that Zhang Shuo would directly oppose it, and also put forward his own opinions.

Zhang Shuo is not against the construction of large equipment, but against the construction of large particle colliders.

That doesn't make much sense.

After the publication of "Gauge Theory of Energy and Force Field", it will surely attract many physicists to participate in the research, and various theories based on mechanics will emerge. His source point theory will surely have great development.

By then, it will be a new theory.

This does not deny the standard model of particles, but rather studies physics from another perspective.

The research direction of the standard model of particles has reached a bottleneck. It is difficult to make any breakthroughs by increasing the intensity of particle collision experiments, so it is natural to look for new directions.

The 'origin point theory' and other theoretical verifications based on mechanics are the most cost-effective. With the same amount of money, more new discoveries can be made, and may even involve applications in the future.

Zhang Shuo is already very confident that the theoretical correlation research between electromagnetism and gravity is progressing rapidly.

After a new breakthrough, the mission progress has increased to '93%'.

The reason why we were able to make such a quick breakthrough is related to the ability and hard work of the team members, and of course, the effect of a large amount of "氪币" is also indispensable.

A new breakthrough is also a new upgrade of the system.

Purchase progress!

【Scientific research coin - 30.】

[The amount of scientific research coins consumed to purchase the task progress reaches 1000, and a new task column is opened: Task . ]

“Finally a new taskbar has been opened!”

Zhang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. While the task progress was improved, a new task bar was added. The only loss was the scientific research coins.

Over the past period of time, there have been more than a dozen purchases of progress, which is also an important reason why the task progress has increased so quickly.

【Task 1】

[Research project name: Theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and gravity (difficulty assessment: A). ]

【Progress: 93.721%.】

"almost finished!"

Zhang Shuo was a little impatient for the research, so he simply contacted Liu Mingkun and asked him to come directly to Soochow University.

The remaining progress will be completed by gathering all the team members together!
……

Although researchers are impatient, everyone needs to take a break. Tang Haiyi, Guo Ping, and Liu Mingkun, everyone in the team is very busy, even thinking about research on weekends.

Zhang Shuo simply gave them a few days off, and waited for Liu Mingkun to come to Soochow University next week to tackle the remaining problems together.

He also took the opportunity to take a break.

During the rest period, Zhang Shuo finally completed the move. The house he bought had been renovated for a long time. He just moved from the fourth floor of the High Court to his new home. Many people helped in the moving process.

Luo Yongjun and Sun Xingli are of course indispensable.

Li Liu Shuangyue and Gao Xiaohong also came.

Professors such as Wang Hui and Qi Zhixiang also helped carry some things. Finally, Zhang Shuo treated them to a meal. After careful calculation, they found "serious losses".

The meal cost more than two thousand yuan.

Luo Yongjun, Wang Hui, Qi Zhixiang and other professors wanted to have a few drinks. They bought two bottles of wine, which cost more than the meal. It seemed that several of them were thinking of "hooking up with rich men".

Of course Zhang Shuo didn't care. It was nice for a group of people to have a meal together.

At the dinner table, Luo Yongjun drank a few more glasses and quickly got into the mood, starting to talk about his recent sad things.

It’s still a project problem.

The project of the Quantum Research Institute has been in the experimental design stage and has not made any progress for a long time. He has also been in an "idle" state.

"I'm too old to apply for youth programs. It's not that interesting to apply for a general program. I might as well ask the school for funding."

"I want to apply for a project to lead a group to do research, but I don't know what to do."

Luo Yongjun said depressedly.

Qi Zhixiang felt a sense of empathy when he heard this, because he was in the same situation. At the end of the year, he was over 45, and could not apply for youth projects. He felt that his ability to lead a research group was not good enough, so he could not apply for large funding projects.

The reason for applying for large funding projects is because we hope to have major research breakthroughs.

When you reach the researcher stage, you may make some small discoveries and publish a few SCI papers with little influence, which means almost nothing to you personally.

"It's better not to do research on your own. It's hard to make a big breakthrough, and doing small research is meaningless."

“Either do some small research like before, or join other people’s projects.”

Qi Zhixiang gave a suggestion.

Luo Yongjun said depressedly, "I would like to join other people's projects, but there is no suitable one. The School of Mathematics only has a few projects, and all the projects in the field of partial differential equations are small."

Zhang Shuo was talking to Li Liu Shuangyue. He pricked up his ears and listened for a few words. Suddenly he said, "Teacher Luo, I am preparing to apply for the Young Elite Scientists Program and I also want to build a team to do research together. How about you join my team?"

Everyone else looked over.

Sun Xingli's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Yes, Lao Luo, you can join Zhang Shuo's project. The NS equation is just right for you."

Li Liu Shuangyue also nodded and said, "Teacher Luo, it's great to come to Zhang Shuo's project. You can do research together again."

Others followed suit and said a few words.

Luo Yongjun's expression became shy. He also felt that joining the NS equation project was suitable, but the project leader was Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo is his student.

If I join Zhang Shuo's project team, wouldn't that be equivalent to "working" for Zhang Shuo? I have to call Zhang Shuo "BOSS"...

He looked suddenly at Sun Xingli.

Sun Xingli turned his head away instantly, pretending to be indifferent, and whispered to Gao Xiaohong, "I will talk about him after Lao Luo joins, and then we will have something to talk about."

Gao Xiaohong burst out laughing when she heard this.

Luo Yongjun asked in a scrutinizing tone, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." Sun Xingli said, "I told Xiaohong, when Zhang Shuo gets Fields, how proud you will be!"

Everyone else laughed.

Luo Yongjun believed it. He felt that Sun Xingli was just that kind of person. He would always say bad things about him for no reason. He was simply his enemy.

He immediately retorted, "Then I should be proud, my student got Fields. If you have the ability, you should also accept a student like him."

After this little episode, a group of people started talking about the International Congress of Mathematicians. The Congress of Mathematicians was a topic that had to be discussed.

The school has already made preparations, because Zhang Shuo may win a major award, Luo Yongjun has also been invited to give a 45-minute report, and they plan to send a "small team" to participate.

In addition to Luo Yongjun and Zhang Shuo, Qi Zhixiang, Wang Hui and Sun Xingli will also participate.

The five-member team has been confirmed now, among which Qi Zhiqiang is the oldest, followed by Luo Yongjun, Wang Hui is only 43 years old, and the remaining Sun Xingli and Zhang Shuo are young people.

Since several people were going to attend the Mathematicians' Congress, they naturally talked about topics related to the Mathematicians' Congress.

Luo Yongjun talked about the report, "I am going to do a research report on the Monge-Ampere equation. It expands the boundaries, but it is very meaningful. Many people continue their research based on this research."

This is a fact.

The "boundary expansion" done by Luo Yongjun and Zhang Shuo is not only significant for the Monge-Ampere equation, but also provides methods and ideas for boundary proofs of other partial differential equations.

For some equations with strong applications, the expansion of their boundaries is of great significance, so the research has a great impact.

After Luo Yongjun finished speaking, he asked Zhang Shuo, "Are you prepared? You also need to make a report."

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Wang Hui immediately said, "We need to prepare for it. It will be next month. Haven't you been working on the proof of the NS equation? Have you made any progress?"

Zhang Shuo nodded, "There has been some progress, but we still need to summarize and think about it carefully."

The research on the singularity proof of the NS equation has achieved more than 30% progress, which is still a lot of progress. However, due to the huge progress, it is difficult to decide which point to go to for the report.

Others did not understand it this way. They felt that Zhang Shuo's research might have made some small progress, but it was not yet at the level of being reported.

This is also normal.

There has been no significant progress in the purely mathematical proof of the NS equation in the past few decades.

When the topic turned to the NS equation, Qi Zhixiang suddenly said something, "Have you paid attention to mathematical news recently? A mathematics team at Harvard University used numerical simulation methods to prove the singularity problem of turbulence."

"So the NS equation is not smooth?" Luo Yongjun asked in surprise.

"You can say that."

Qi Zhixiang said, "They used the numerical simulation method studied by Zhang Shuo, using supercomputers to perform a large number of calculations on the changing positions of turbulence and found the 'jump' point."

"In the study of turbulence, it has always been believed that there are singularities in the NS equations. Combined with the findings of numerical simulation studies, it can be confirmed to a certain extent."

Zhang Shuo asked doubtfully, "This shouldn't be a 100% certain conclusion, right?"

Everyone else looked over.

Zhang Shuo said, "They used numerical simulation, which is an approximate solution. An approximate solution is not a strong solution. You can only see a large change in the value, but you cannot be sure that there is a singularity. They should not have found the singularity, right?"

He added: “I say this because it is the exact opposite of what I found.”

Qi Zhixiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Have you studied this issue? And you have a conclusion?"

"Correct."

Zhang Shuo said seriously, "My research is still a long way from being completed, but I have come to some conclusions in the process."

"Turbulence is a classic singularity problem in the NS equations, and I have been able to provide a perfect proof of it."

He said with some sudden realization, "Yes, Mr. Luo just mentioned the report problem, so I will just use this to make the report."

The expressions of the others became a little strange.

Qi Zhixiang took a long time to utter, "You call this a little progress?"

Zhang Shuo smiled embarrassedly, "We are indeed far from completing the research. The most difficult part of the demonstration is to study whether there is a singularity when taking infinity as an example."

"I still don't know how to get started with infinity."

……

As the International Congress of Mathematicians approaches, some voices have appeared in the media. Generally speaking, public opinion does not focus on academics.

Unless it is a mathematicians' conference held in China, few people will care about the conference issues. Even after the conference is held, there will only be a few summary reports.

For example, a mathematician won an award.

This time is different.

There have been some voices saying that Zhang Shuo is likely to win the Fields Medal. At only 26 years old, he will become the youngest winner of the Fields Medal since its establishment.

There is no news yet, but many people are discussing it.

Zhang Shuo does not pay attention to public opinion information from the outside world. He is leading the team to make the final sprint of the "theoretical connection between electromagnetic force and gravity."

They have already built a theoretical model.

The subsequent work was to correct the model, which took half a month. After spending money twice in the middle, the task progress finally reached 100%.

【Submit the task! 】

Zhang Shuo submitted the task without hesitation and immediately received feedback from the task system, which gave him a deeper understanding of the completed theoretical model of the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity.

At the same time, a large amount of scientific research coins were credited.

【Scientific research coin +600.】

"Less than the amount consumed..."

“But, it’s also very little.”

This is the research that cost the most krypton coins in history. We just hoped to complete it as quickly as possible, and it was finally completed before the National Congress of Mathematicians.

This research is also of great significance.

They completed a mathematical theoretical model of the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity, and explained the relationship between electromagnetic force and gravity.

Although it sounds insignificant, it is definitely a leap forward. In existing physics, there is no relationship between the four major forces, but they have completed the modeling of the relationship between the two forces.

"If we go one step further and find singularities or special correlation areas in the mathematical model, we can verify it and even turn it into an applied technology!"

Zhang Shuo said excitedly, "The next step of research is not pure mathematics. This model is very complicated. We need to substitute numerical values ​​to simplify the model and conduct physical experiments."

"Use physical experiments to find the singularity or correlation area between two forces!"

Liu Mingkun, Tang Haiyi and Guo Ping were also very excited, and they also knew what a great research they had accomplished.

great.

This word is not an exaggeration at all.

If the models are proven correct in the future, they may even be enough to win four Nobel Prizes in Physics.

No, to be precise, the Nobel Prize in Physics can no longer measure the value of research.

The research has created a new physics and a new technology, which will definitely have far-reaching significance. They may even go down in history.

Such an achievement is enough to make people excited and crazy.
