Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 204 This is the enhanced version of the ion cannon!

The Science, Technology and Industry Bureau attached great importance to the report submitted by Zhang Shuo.

After initially analyzing the contents of the report, they began to demonstrate the feasibility of conducting the experiment. The demonstration would evaluate issues such as the difficulty and safety of the experiment based on the contents of the report itself, and would also need to refer to Zhang Shuo's opinions.

Zhang Shuo certainly agreed to conduct the experiment, but he reminded people to pay attention to safety issues.

The splitting of the atomic nucleus and the nuclear force is the new theory that is closest to being able to be tested experimentally, and it is more in-depth than the research related to electromagnetism and gravity.

This is mainly because we have the data from previous experiments as a reference, and we have completed the research on the strong force splitting of particles. The strong force splitting of particles is the basis of the nuclear force splitting of atomic nuclei. The correlation between the two is very strong, and both electromagnetic forces affect the strong force.

With a sufficient experimental basis, the research will naturally be much more in-depth.

However, security is also a big issue.

Explosions are no joke.

Personal experience aside, the verification experiment led by Academician Tong Zhiguo resulted in a large-scale explosion, even reaching the level of a small nuclear bomb.

An explosion of this magnitude is extremely destructive.

Although there are many concerns about safety, Zhang Shuo knows that the Science, Technology and Industry Bureau will definitely conduct verification experiments. It is impossible to stop a new research due to safety issues, not to mention that the experiment may lead to a new technology.

This technology may have a direct effect when used in the military, that is, mastering a high-tech military technology.

If the report is released, a large number of institutions will take the initiative to conduct experiments, and various countries will also invest heavily in research and development. It is impossible to shelve it because of safety issues.

Having said that, how can scientific research be completely safe?

Even when doing biological experiments, there is a risk of infection, and physical research is often linked to radiation and radioactivity. In cutting-edge research, dangers and opportunities coexist. In fact, modern scientific research is already relatively safe.

The safety of this research mainly involves two points. One is the possible explosion hazard.

The second is the problem of radioactivity.

The former can allow the experimenters to evacuate in advance, which can minimize the risk of explosion. People are always more important than machines, not to mention the lives of scientific researchers, each of which is very precious.

Radioactivity is harder to say.

Some experiments involve relatively low levels of radioactivity, but their gradual effects can still cause big problems.

In addition, a very important point is that the requirements for the experiment have become much lower.

First of all, the electromagnetic field strength requirement is low. The difficulty coefficient of creating a strong magnetic field of 2T and a super strong magnetic field of 5T is completely different.

The former can even be made using conventional conductors, while the latter must use superconducting materials.

The requirements for superconducting materials are too high. We must pay attention to the cooling of the conductors. Current stability is also a problem. The higher the magnetic field strength, the more unstable it is, and control is a big problem.

In the case of a 2T electromagnetic field requirement, a good experimental setup can be completed quickly without the need for very complex auxiliary equipment.

The second is that the reaction particles require rare single-element ionic substances.

Previously, a particle generator was needed, which involved the field of high-energy physics and was very difficult to control.

The manufacturing of single-element ionic substances is relatively simple. Now there are many technologies that can turn single-element substances into ionic states, especially those active elements.

For example, lithium has a relatively low melting point and boiling point, so it is easy for it to enter the ionic state.

Previous experiments required the control of high-energy particles, but now it is only necessary to "kick out" the reaction particles.

This is much easier.

In short, when the experimental requirements are low, verification becomes very easy. If the verification is successful, a very high-end technology will be gained.

This is very attractive to any organization.

The Science, Technology and Industry Bureau conducted a detailed study. Teacher Li and Chen Wei consulted many experts for discussion and they all agreed that experimental verification could be carried out.

Academician Zeng Huajian is attending the conference for the first time. He is an expert in the field of electromagnetic technology.

Over the past decade, Academician Zeng Huajian's team has been researching electromagnetic gun technology, and the technology they have mastered has reached the most advanced international level. The electromagnetic guns they have manufactured have even been installed on ships, but their practicality is relatively low, and there are only occasional opportunities for live-fire exercises.

Zeng Huajian knew that the Science, Technology and Industry Bureau was demonstrating a brand new experimental research, but when he heard the content of the experiment, he felt very confused, "Heat a single element substance to an ion state, and then pass it through a magnetic field... and knock it out?"

"What's the principle?"

Zeng Huajian felt that the physics in his mind was simply not enough to explain the experiments he heard.

Simply put, I don't understand it at all.

After the first meeting, he asked others and found out that it was Zhang Shuo's theory. His first reaction was, "Isn't this experiment a bit too far-fetched? How can such an experiment be supported? Is it a theoretical verification?"

"Even if it's Zhang Shuo..."

Zeng Huajian felt that he could not comment and just shook his head. Then he heard others say that preliminary verification had been done.

"Strong force splitting theory? Splitting the basic particles into quarks and triggering the Big Bang..."

Zeng Huajian felt that he was even more unable to comment. His heart was beating constantly. He could not believe what he heard. This was a brand new experiment that had been verified in advance. Wasn't it now a technical research?
In other words, it doesn't matter whether they accept the theory or not, because the theory has already been proven.

This is what is real.

Zeng Huajian is not a theoretical expert, nor does he care whether the theory is correct or not. What he cares about is the technology.

"If it's true, wouldn't it be an enhanced version of the ion cannon?"

An ion cannon is a sci-fi weapon that fires an ion beam or ion cluster to attack.

The specific principles and details vary in different works, but because ion cannons and other directional weapons can suffer serious energy loss in the atmospheric environment, ion cannons can only be seen in science fiction works with space as the background.

The current experiment is to shoot out single-element ions, either in the form of ion beams or ion clusters, which sounds very similar to an ion cannon.

The problem is that the theoretical principle is that ionized matter will explode after hitting an entity, which means that the loss in the atmosphere may be very small and it can be used on the ground.

Isn't this just an enhanced version of the ion cannon?
Of course, theory is theory, and experiment is experiment. Before verification, we don’t know what the specific effect is. Maybe the ionic substance just reacts with the air, or explodes halfway through being emitted.

In addition, the demand for experiments is not high.

Zeng Huajian gave a professional opinion, "If you specify a single element substance, especially a metal element, you can easily hit it hundreds of kilometers away."

"As long as the technology related to electromagnetic guns is used, the electromagnetic field itself can accelerate metal ions."

"That is to say, the electromagnetic field reaction itself will become a driving process, and the technical implementation will be relatively simple."

"If we change to other types of elements, they will need to come into contact with solid matter in order to be able to be launched quickly and far, so we must find a stable medium substance..."

This is where things get a little bit troubling.

A large number of experts also discussed this issue.

……

While the Science and Technology Industry Bureau was conducting experimental demonstrations, Zhang Shuo was fully engaged in the research of the infinite value demonstration of the ns equation. Since it was decided to publish the results at the Chinese Mathematicians Conference, it was natural to spend some time on research. It would be best to complete the research in advance, otherwise it would take a long time to organize the data.

Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua were somewhat confused about Zhang Shuo's "time judgment". They did not know why Zhang Shuo was so confident. For any mathematical proof, the idea is unknown before the proof is completed.

If it is wrong, even the greatest progress will be meaningless.

After Zhang Shuo participated in the research, the research speed was significantly accelerated, and the subsequent proof ideas gradually became clearer. Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua both felt that they had found the direction of "logical return" and seemed to have seen the dawn of completing the proof.

Everyone at the Institute for Advanced Study knew that Zhang Shuo was fully committed to the study of the ns equation and hoped to make a commitment at the Conference of Chinese Mathematicians.

This is the final step in studying the ns equations.

Previously, Zhang Shuo had completed the proof of finite values ​​of the NS equation under natural boundary conditions, and now he has completed all the research by proving infinite values.

By then, the problem of proving the smoothness of the Ns equation will be perfectly solved.

This sounds incredible.

That is the ns equation problem, one of the seven great mathematical conjectures of the millennium.

It is not easy to apply for projects with such problems, and it is difficult for the applied projects to make much progress.

Zhang Shuo's project is less than a year old and seems to be about to be completed.

Tan Youming, Wang Hui, Qi Zhixiang and others also discussed privately, "Do you think it is possible to accomplish this?"

"It's a matter of time. If it takes a few years, I believe Zhang Shuo can accomplish it."

“Before the Chinese Mathematicians Conference, it feels like it’s almost here.”

"As long as there is something that you can't figure out, it may not be difficult."

"How did they prove it? Luo Yongjun seemed very confident. When I saw him this morning, he told me to wait for their big results..."

"This is normal Luo Yongjun...just get used to it!"

……

Time passed little by little.

As the Chinese Congress of Mathematicians was getting closer, Qiu Chengwen took the initiative to contact Zhang Shuo and reminded him to submit the report materials for the Congress of Chinese Mathematicians.

Zhang Shuo is a scholar specially invited by the conference and will also be one of the judges of the conference.

At the same time, the conference also gave him time to make free reports.

Of course, if you don’t want to make a report, you don’t have to submit the materials, but Zhang Shuo has already stated in advance that he will make a long report.

So he needs to submit the information and allow the conference organizers to free up time.

Qiu Chengwen’s reminder came at a very timely moment.

Zhang Shuo almost forgot about this matter. Unlike giving a 45-minute report at the International Congress of Mathematicians, he is an important participant in the Chinese Mathematicians Conference, and the conference will modify the time because of his report.

He specifically visited the conference's website and filled out the introductory information for the report.

Two names were also added - Luo Yongjun and Li Weihua.

After this material was submitted, it did not cause any waves at first, because few people went to look at the report materials at the Conference of Chinese Mathematicians.

If it is held a week before the meeting, scholars attending the conference may be interested.

When some people see the content, the situation is different.

Qiu Chengwen only learned the news the next day. He was the leader of the Chinese Mathematicians Congress and one of the most important organizers. But in fact, the organization and arrangements were handled by the Chinese Mathematicians Congress Committee. He did not directly participate in the related work and only contacted some important scholars personally.

On this day, he made a video call with an old friend. Just as he hung up the phone, he saw his assistant rushing in and shouting, "Academician Qiu, Professor Zhang Shuo submitted the conference materials, and it's the NS equation!"

"ns equation?"

Qiu Chengwen was a little puzzled for a moment, because Zhang Shuo had already completed the proof of the finite value of the natural boundary of the NS equation.

Do I have to make the report again?
He felt that Zhang Shuo was not a scholar who "relied on his past achievements". Even if his research was very important, he would not give a second report unless specially invited by the organizer.

Zhang Shuo should have a lot of achievements to show for himself, right? Even if they are not direct research results, it is okay to do a work report in the field of mathematics.

At this time, I only heard the assistant explain, "It's an argument of infinite values!"

"—!!"

Qiu Chengwen stood up in shock.

Many scholars had the same reaction as Qiu Chengwen when they heard the news. They were also very surprised.

"Zhang Shuo wants to prove the smoothness of the infinite value of the ns equation? In other words, he has completed all the proofs?"

"Is the NS equation problem going to be completely solved?"

"If it were anyone else, they wouldn't care, but for Zhang Shuo...it feels possible!"

"Many people claim to have completed the proof of the ns equation, but Zhang Shuo is the most credible. This time, it feels too fast..."

In August last year, Zhang Shuo completed the proof of the finite value of the NS equation at the International Congress of Mathematicians.

Domestic scholars also know that he also applied for the Young Elite Program for the demonstration of the ns equation.

The Young Elite Scientists Program is funded for five years.

Finally, it was completed in one year?
Many scholars have been discussing this issue, and related topics have gradually appeared in online public opinion.

Many people are paying close attention to this.

"Zhang Shuo is planning to completely solve the ns equation problem at the Chinese Mathematicians Conference!"

"As soon as Zhang Shuo's report was released, the Chinese Mathematicians Conference immediately became the focus of attention in the international mathematics community. More top scholars will definitely attend the conference."

"That's the ns equation problem, one of the seven great mathematical conjectures of the millennium. It feels like it's about to be solved."

"See what the Clay Institute has to say this time!"

"Last time they said the proof was not perfect, so they couldn't give out the $100 million prize for the time being. Is it okay to give out the $100 million prize this time?"

"It may not be possible. Infinite values ​​and finite values ​​are different. I heard from professionals that Zhang Shuo's method of proving finite values ​​cannot be used to prove infinite values. Can he find a new method in such a short time?"

"One year is still too short for such a big problem."

"If it were anyone else, they could say that, but that's Zhang Shuo..."

"Zhang Shuo is completely different!"
