Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 22 The door of the computing center is always open to you!

"You can open up your mind by spending one research coin, find the next direction directly, and then continue researching in that direction."

“That way, no research will get stuck.”

"It will be smooth sailing from now on..."

Zhang Shuo just felt overjoyed.

If a research does not get stuck, then the research will definitely be completed. The scientific research currency system of the task is simply a powerful tool for scientific research.

He suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to think along the lines of the idea he had just gotten.

Everything went smoothly after that.

Parameter evaluation algorithm is a fixed algorithm that relies on various parameters of the equation to calculate some results.

These results will be close to the thinking results of the human brain.

The following will still involve fuzzy mathematics, but what is more important is the idea of ​​controlling the substitution of numerical values. "If I see an equation, what numerical value will I choose to substitute?"

“What is process thinking like?”

"Why did you choose that value..."

Zhang Shuo conducted an in-depth analysis on himself. He felt that he should also ask Luo Yongjun and other professors specializing in PDE numerical methods.

Then the parameter evaluation algorithm will be more perfect.

……

An hour later, Luo Yongjun walked in from outside.

He also explained loudly, "I'm going to hold a meeting with the graduate students, asking them to attend classes and study hard."

“These students are so difficult to teach!”

"I don't even know what I'm doing. Not only do I have no ideas for research, but I'm also expected to explain the content."

Luo Yongjun glanced at Zhang Shuo and shook his head in frustration.

Because the students are too good, it is difficult for him to provide any guidance and he cannot feel like a role model at all. But because the students are too stupid, he is also very depressed.

He missed Liu Chengjie a little.

Without taking his eyes off the screen, Sun Xingjiang asked casually, "Are you really going to hold a meeting for graduate students? No..."

"What are you talking about!"

Luo Yongjun immediately interrupted, "Of course it's true, how could it be false?" He glanced at Zhang Shuo from a distance, then sat next to Sun Xingjiang and chatted, "Xiao Sun, you will also start teaching students next semester, right?"

Sun Xingjiang immediately shook his head. "What kind of students should I take? I can just push them away. I am still a student myself. I have to give subsidies to students. Where does our mathematics department get the funds?"

“Aren’t there 15 youth grants?”

Luo Yongjun immediately said, "Talents like you are introduced to the school. You will get funding in the first year. If you can apply for project funding, you will get more. What a great treatment!"

Sun Xingli kept shaking his head. "It's true that there is 15 yuan, but it's not enough for me. I have to apply for funds, and it's hard to communicate with the administration."

"I am currently writing a paper and preparing to submit it to the mathematics conference in Daya Bay."

"The annual meeting of the Mathematical Society?" Luo Yongjun immediately became interested. "What kind of research is it? Number theory? Methodology? Are there any results?"

“The research is not important, and the results are not important.”

Sun Xingli pursed his lips and continued, "The important thing is that the conference is held in Daya Bay. I can go there for a few days in the name of attending an academic conference, and I can also get reimbursed from the funds."

“Tourism at public expense.”

Luo Yongjun said with tears in his eyes, "It's great to have more funding!"

Sun Xingli turned his head in confusion, "Don't you have more funding? I heard it's one million? Now the project is almost finished, why don't you take this opportunity to... spend more?"

Luo Yongjun said proudly, "We do have a lot of funding, but the remaining funds will be distributed as personal bonuses."

Sun Xingli was quick-witted and cursed, "Fuck, that's so cool!"

"What's so good about this?"

Luo Yongjun crossed his arms and looked up at the ceiling. "Actually, I still hope to be like you guys, where I can spend some money and get reimbursed, instead of just taking the money directly."

"If the money is in the finance department, I can directly reimburse it for travel. If the money is in my pocket, I won't be willing to spend it."

"Ah~~"

He sighed, "I still envy you!"

Sun Xingyi pulled the corner of his mouth hard. He didn't know whether Luo Yongjun was showing off or speaking from the truth, because what Luo Yongjun said did make sense.

The money is in the finance department, it would be a waste if you don’t spend it.

It feels different when the money is in your own pocket, right?
Zhang Shuo suddenly raised his head and asked Luo Yongjun, "Teacher Luo, how about this, you open another bank card, and when the project is completed and the funds are issued, I will ask the school finance department to pay the money in two installments?"

Luo Yongjun's eyes sparkled, and he swung his arms vigorously, "This is a good idea, let's do it!"

Sun Xingli pondered over it for a long time, and suddenly he had a sense of sudden enlightenment.

It turns out that the money is not in my pocket!
……

With the right idea, Zhang Shuo increased the research progress to '62.907%' in just three days.

Then he flew to the capital with Luo Yongjun.

The project manager of the Institute of High Energy Physics sent a message asking them to take the code and report to the particle collider experimental base.

The designated person in charge of project acceptance is Liu Ye. In fact, the acceptance party is still the group of people who participated in the experiment.

They felt incredible when they received the news.

It has only been a dozen days since the project was officially launched, and the other party has already said that it has been completed?
This speed is so fast that people can't help but feel like they've been cheated.

Liu Ye, Liao Zhenyu and Gao Hongli also discussed it together.

In the end, it was Gao Hongli who made the final decision, saying, "We only care about the project, not the speed. We definitely hope to complete it as quickly as possible."

"The speed is unexpectedly fast now, but we will know the specific situation when they arrive."

Research at the experimental base is still in the final stages.

Some of the people involved in the experiment have left, but some are still at the experimental base, such as Gao Xiaohong.

Her work involves analyzing the particle escape data from the experiment to look for evidence that the particles have quantum properties, a study related to the experimental goal.

Experimental research has been carried out so far, but no evidence has been found for the existence of quantum properties of particles.

Gao Xiaohong was ready to return to Soochow University, but was informed that she would have to use a new method to analyze the experimental data, which might also bring about new research content.

As soon as she heard it, she knew it was related to Zhang Shuo's research.

Others also knew about Zhang Shuo's research content and the million-dollar support project of the Institute of High Energy Physics, but they were also surprised.

Is the research completed?

Is it possible to conduct experimental simulation and comparative analysis so quickly?
Amid so much curiosity and surprise, Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun's attitude when they came to the experimental base was different.

Liu Ye and several other people were standing at the door to greet them. There were also a few people standing inside who seemed to be watching the fun. They all looked over here with curiosity.

This also includes Gao Xiaohong.

Gao Xiaohong waved to Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun.

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly at her and continued to talk to Liu Ye about the project. "The project was completed quickly because there were many people involved."

"Many professors in the college participated in the project and together they completed nearly 300 program subcontracts."

Luo Yongjun also said, "There are still many difficulties, and it is not easy to achieve. We have been working overtime these days."

"Look, my hair is almost falling out!"

As he spoke, he scratched his scalp hard.

As a result, he pulled out several strands of hair and gritted his teeth in pain.

Liu Ye had nothing to say.

They went to the small conference room on the first floor of the center building together. Gao Hongli and Liao Zhenyu were already waiting there, along with several researchers from the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

Zhang Shuo used the computer on the podium to show his work documents.

He just demonstrated the algorithm packages and program packages contained in the program, which was enough for professionals to see something.

Hundreds of algorithm packages, program packages, plus the program code of the main framework, including input and output codes...

All together, it is definitely several months of work.

"Did you do all this recently?"

A researcher named Bao Hexing couldn't help but ask.

Luo Yongjun directly retorted, "Of course, how could it have been completed before? Without a project and funding, who would be willing to do this?"

Bao Hexing also knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he continued to speak without caring, "The whole program can be run, right?"

“This computer doesn’t work.”

Zhang Shuo shook his head. "It needs to be at least server level to do basic debugging."

"Then let's make the report first."

Bao Hexing said.

Liu Ye is the direct person in charge of the project acceptance, but Bao Hexing is the core figure of the project acceptance team. He is the deputy director of the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics. His team is also directly responsible for the subsequent debugging and analysis of experimental simulation deviations.

Zhang Shuo stood on the podium and began to explain the main framework of the algorithm, as well as the functions of each part of the program and algorithm.

He just explained the program without explaining the underlying logical principles.

That's what the research report says.

While listening to Zhang Shuo's explanation, Bao Hexing's eyes became brighter and brighter. He is a researcher at the Computing Center and a professional in computer algorithms.

Just by listening briefly, he understood why the other party was able to complete the project so quickly.

It can be said that the other party used the most efficient way to split the modules in the framework into functional algorithms and programs, that is, to achieve the desired module functions with the least algorithms and programs.

Therefore, the total number of algorithm program subpackages is less than three hundred. Even if the core algorithm package is added, there are only a little more than three hundred.

Bao Hexing thought about it and knew he couldn't do it.

When he looked at Zhang Shuo again, it was as if he was looking at a super genius in the field of computer algorithms.

In fact, Zhang Shuo is not that talented.

Computer algorithms are not his research area. The reason why he can split the modules so skillfully is because he knows the entire program well.

Experimental simulation analysis is a brand new research.

When doing a new research, it is often very complicated at the beginning. If someone else were to do it, relying on the same framework design, the resulting program subpackage would be several times or even dozens of times more complicated.

To achieve the same function, more split algorithm packages mean more bugs and more time will be required for debugging.

The main content of the report is just the breakdown of the framework, that is, the way to implement the functions, and the explanation ended quickly.

Zhang Shuo walked down from the podium.

Bao Hexing immediately came over and asked enthusiastically, "You are studying for a doctorate at Sudong University, right? Department of Mathematics?"

Luo Yongjun hurried over and nervously emphasized, "Zhang Shuo is my student," as if he was afraid that his student would be poached.

"Professor Luo, that's not what I meant."

Bao Hexing turned his head and looked at Zhang Shuo, and asked, "After you graduate, are you interested in working at the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics?"

"Our computing center will recruit postdoctoral fellows. If you come, you can start as an associate researcher as a special talent."

“Special talents also receive various benefits.”

"For example, the household registration can be directly transferred to the capital, with a one-time resettlement fee of 80 yuan and a housing subsidy of 120 million yuan. The talent support plan of the institute starts with a funding of 60 yuan..."

He said a lot in a row.

"This one……"

Zhang Shuo hesitated but shook his head. "I'm still a PhD student, and only in my first year. It's too early to think about work."

"That's right."

Bao Hexing felt a little bit sorry, and he promised, "You go back and think about it slowly. As long as I am here, the door of the computing center is always open to you!"
