Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 203 Research completed! Zhang Shuo's view of time is completely different from that of ordinary people!

NS Equation Demonstration Office.

Luo Yongjun was sitting cross-legged and drinking tea leisurely, while Li Weihua was sitting opposite him with his head down, browsing his phone. Both of them looked relaxed.

This has become a daily routine lately.

After joining the NS equation demonstration project, they are all very motivated, but motivation cannot last forever. Even if they feel that the research is making progress every day, they still need proper rest, otherwise their energy will not keep up.

In addition, another very important point is that making progress in research every day has become a habit, which makes their mentality very calm.

When they have free time, they calmly drink tea and chat about gossip. Of course, work is not delayed and they still spend a lot of time on research every day, but it is not as much as the initial struggle of working overtime voluntarily.

Li Weihua finished browsing his phone, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a sigh, "In recent days, Zhang Shuo has been stuck in his office, seemingly doing some research. He's really working hard, no wonder he's achieved this level."

“Effort comes second.”

Luo Yongjun shook his head. "I supervised three doctoral students. To be honest, Liu Chengjie was the most hardworking one. He spent a lot of time reading papers and doing research every day. He knew where he was lacking and would work hard."

"But, look..."

What he said was very depressing. Mathematics really requires talent. Hard work is not useless, but you must have talent for hard work to be valuable. "

"Yes."

Li Weihua also sighed, "I just lack a little bit of talent."

“Luck is also important!”

Luo Yongjun said, "Look at other people. It's hard for them to get some funding. We were able to join a big project directly. That's luck!"

Li Weihua nodded in agreement, thinking back to his embarrassing situation a year ago, where he went to the Institute of Science and Technology Engineering to get funding, did a lot of work, and could only get a small subsidy.

He even planned to apply for more classes, because each class would have a tuition fee, but the tuition fee was pitifully low, only a few dozen dollars.

The current situation is unimaginable.

Li Weihua said, "But Zhang Shuo seems to be more interested in theoretical physics. He hasn't been paying attention to research recently."

"Yes."

Luo Yongjun shook his head helplessly. "As a teacher, I can't understand this kind of genius. He has long exceeded the conventional standards. Many geniuses are interested in theoretical physics. Zhang Shuo is also very special. The theories he studied have been recognized internationally."

When talking about this topic, the two of them had endless things to talk about.

There have been a lot of reports in the public opinion in recent times.

The energy force field gauge theory and the basic force relationship model have become popular theories in the international physics community, and many scholars at home and abroad are ready to join the research.

It will only take a few years for a large number of results to be achieved in related fields, which will also promote the improvement of the basic force relationship model (source point theory) and more in-depth research and analysis.

“Perhaps, Zhang Shuo is another Edward Witten. It should be said that he is more successful than Edward Witten.”

"I believe this. I think the origin theory he created has the potential to surpass string theory."

"I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it..."

Who is Edward Witten?
He is a mathematician in the field of physics and a Fields Medal winner. He created the superstring theory and unified string theory. The mathematical content in it is used in all aspects of analysis.

Even the theories related to the standard model of particles use the mathematical logic explained by the transfinite theory, not to mention cutting-edge fields such as dark matter and supersymmetry problems, whose mathematical logic is directly related to string theory.

These have helped Edward Witten become one of the most influential scholars in the world.

Zhang Shuo is even more powerful than Edward Witten because he created a theory himself.

If it can be developed to the level of string theory, it can be said to have surpassed Edward Witten.

How dare I think of this?
Anyway, the two of them are not at that level, and they feel that they are not qualified to make any comments.

Finally, the topic turned to research. Luo Yongjun said, "It is certain that the demonstration can be completed. It is just a matter of time."

Li Weihua nodded and said, "Recently, I feel that the progress is very stable, but I don't know whether it is useful or not. Anyway, I just follow the general direction."

“Hopefully it will be done eventually.”

As the two were talking, Tan Youming appeared at the door of the office. He walked in with a smile and said, "Professor Luo, Professor Li, how is the research going? Do you think this demonstration can be completed?"

Tan Youming asked such a question, which immediately made Luo Yongjun very dissatisfied. "Academician Tan, you are questioning us. This project is to prove the NS equation. Zhang Shuo is the person in charge. Li Weihua and I have also been studying it..."

"The demonstration can definitely be completed!"

He was very confident, and then added, "I just discussed it with Li Weihua, and it feels like it will be completed within three years!"

Tan Youming listened normally at the beginning. He heard Zhang Shuo say that it would be completed before the Chinese Congress of Mathematicians, and Luo Yongjun also expressed confidence, so he felt that there was no problem.

The last sentence, three years?

Tan Youming looked at Li Weihua with confusion.

Li Weihua complained in his heart that Luo Yongjun's big mouth was really unreliable, and then said, "If it can't be completed in three years, it will definitely be completed in five years. Anyway, we will try to complete the demonstration within the project support time."

Tan Youming pursed his lips tightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you two really involved in this research? Was it all done by Zhang Shuo?"

"..."

Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua looked at each other, somewhat confused about what Tan Youming meant.

Tan Youming shook his head helplessly and muttered, "Two bastards!"

Then he walked out of the office.

Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua both felt puzzled. Why did they just leave after asking whether the research could be completed?

"Does Academician Tan not believe us?"

"Maybe. After all, it's the proof of the NS equation, one of the seven great mathematical conjectures from a few years ago!"

"Right……"

After some discussion, the two decided to work hard and strive to complete the research, otherwise they would be looked down upon.

Their fighting spirit lasted for a day.

The next day, Wang Hui came over and during their casual conversation they understood why Tan Youming had such a strange expression on his face.

"Zhang Shuo said it will be completed before the Chinese Mathematicians Conference?"

"How can this be!"

"How did Zhang Shuo make that judgment? We have been doing research, how come we don't know..."

They went to find Zhang Shuo in a daze.

Zhang Shuo was always staying in the office and usually didn't allow anyone to disturb him. Sometimes, Li Liu Shuangyue would just stand guard at the door. Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua were obviously exceptions.

Luo Yongjun and Li Liushuangyue greeted each other and walked straight into the office. When they found that Zhang Shuo was not working, they immediately told him the purpose of their visit.

"Yes, that's what I said."

"It should be easy to judge, right? Haven't we already completed most of the arguments? The next step is to finish it off and improve the logic."

“For example, the part about series proof also includes multi-parameter analysis.”

"As long as we reduce the parameters, we can complete the proof."

Zhang Shuolian talked about a lot of issues related to the direction of the subsequent demonstration, which also involved the demonstration that had been completed. Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua naturally understood, but they still felt a little confused. The subsequent demonstration came out of Zhang Shuolian's mouth, as if it could be easily completed.

But this is not an elementary school math problem, and it is not a question that has a definite answer.

Some of the arguments you have thought of may not work, and even if they do, some key points may still be unexpected.

After listening to Zhang Shuo's statement, Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua finally walked out of the office with doubts.

They stopped at the top of the stairs.

Li Weihua sighed, "Is it because the gap is too big?"

"Zhang Shuo seems to have grasped the overall situation and knows how to conduct research to complete the argument, but we... have no idea at all. We don't even know whether the research we are doing is meaningful."

Luo Yongjun also shook his head.

In fact, their situation is normal. For a brand new research and demonstration, it is difficult to determine when the proof can be completed.

Even if there is a research direction and it is determined to be the right direction, it is difficult to say how long the specific research will last.

It's like drawing a line starting from a point. The line can bend at will. If you keep walking along the line, you will soon lose your way, and it will be impossible to know when you can get back to the starting point again.

Zhang Shuo is different. The task system clearly explains the progress of the research.

It has now reached 87.362%, which is very close to completing the research.

……

The research on the NS equation is only a dozen points away from progress, but because each point of progress requires 70 scientific research coins, the progress is relatively slow.

Another study, the theoretical proof of the splitting of atomic nuclei by nuclear force, is relatively much easier.

When the task was first established, the progress had already reached 40%.

Zhang Shuo stayed in the office, doing research. He had enough basic knowledge, and with the rapid growth brought by krypton coins, it took about a month for the task progress to increase to 100%.

【Task 2】

[Research project name: Theoretical demonstration of nuclear force splitting of atomic nuclei (difficulty assessment: B). ]

【Progress: 100%.】

(The task has been completed and can be submitted.)
After completing the task, Zhang Shuo felt a lot more relaxed. He immediately submitted the task and received 100 scientific research coins as a task reward.

Then comes the summary.

This research is very important and has reached some very important conclusions.

The requirements for splitting the nucleus by nuclear force are much lower than those for splitting the elementary particles by strong force. The most direct problem is the commonality with the electromagnetic force. To put it bluntly, the magnetic field intensity required to create a chaotic force field is low.

To be precise, the minimum requirement is less than 2T.

This is already the magnetic field strength that can be produced using conventional conductors.

Although the demand for magnetic fields is lower, theoretical research has still found some characteristics with high demand, such as the conduction effect of particles in creating microscopic field forces. In addition, theoretical research cannot solve the differences in requirements of different elements (different atomic nuclei) and their performance in nuclear force splitting.

In addition, it involves the problem of atomic arrangement which cannot be studied.

These questions all require experiments to answer.

Theoretical research is not omnipotent. It is impossible to deduce everything by theory without any experimental support.

Zhang Shuo summarized the theoretical content and found the most critical experimental method. "First, select an element and make it enter the ionic state."

"Only a very small amount of ionic elements can instantly create microscopic field forces."

"Because of the delay in the conduction of field force, when the field force comes into contact with solid matter, it may explode, but different elements will behave differently."

“These all require experimentation.”

Zhang Shuo thought about it and made a summary, then packaged the content and submitted it.

These all need to be verified by experiments.

The last time Chen Wei, Tong Zhiguo and others came, he suggested suspending the experiment because the risk of the experiment was very high. But now that theoretical research has made some progress and the delay problem of field force conduction has been discovered, the experiment can become much safer.

He hoped that the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry would continue to support the experiment and measure the nuclear splitting performance of each element.

This part is very important.

If detailed experimental measurements can be carried out for each element, it will be possible to compare the various elements and study the relationship between nuclear composition and nuclear force splitting.

At the same time, it can also connect theory with real matter and make up for the lack of theoretical material analysis.

Other theories are based on energy and matter. They explain the effects and changes of the four forces and analyze the four forces through the changes of matter and energy.

The source point theory, on the contrary, is based on the four major forces and discusses the relationship between forces. It is necessary to connect energy and matter in reverse to make the theory perfect.

……

Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry.

The information submitted by Zhang Shuo was directly sent to the Science, Technology and Industry Bureau.

The first person to see the content was Teacher Li. After taking a quick look at it, he immediately found two experts in theoretical physics, and then called Chen Wei over.

After conducting a thorough analysis, they had a basic understanding of the content of the data. "Zhang Shuo completed the theoretical research on the splitting of atomic nuclei."

"The nuclear force of the atom refers to the force that binds protons and neutrons together, and is also a strong force."

"From the content point of view, there are two most important points. One is that the required magnetic field strength is not high, but it is also not easy to control because it is necessary to consider the arrangement of particles inside the 'ionic matter'."

“The second is the delay.”

Chen Wei said, "If the field force spreads with a delay, we can use it as described in the information."

“This will maximize the safety of the experiment.”

"In other words, experiments can be done, and we must do them if we want to make more discoveries."

"The only thing is, is the safety performance guaranteed?"

Chen Wei spoke a lot.

Teacher Li asked in confusion, "Didn't Zhang Shuo suggest not to do the experiment last time and keep the data sealed?"

"Why are you supporting experiments again? I feel like the pace of change is too fast..."

“Maybe because of new research.”

Chen Wei said, "Actually, it's different. This one seems relatively safer, but the control must be precise."

"Of course I know it's because of the new research, the problem is that it's too fast."

Teacher Li said with some amusement, "The data has just been submitted for security preservation, and the second research has been completed. It seems that Zhang Shuo's view of time is completely different from ours."

"What he called temporary storage is really just temporary, just three or four months."

"From what I understand, temporary preservation and storage would last at least ten or twenty years, right?"

Chen Wei found it was true.

If a piece of data is to be sealed and stored, it must last for more than ten years, otherwise why would it be sealed?
Their perspectives on time are really very different, or it can be understood that Zhang Shuo's research speed is so fast that people can't react!
