Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 224 Zhang Shuo is a magical person? Yao Qiming: That’s me!

Scholars are also human beings.

When faced with choices, they behave like ordinary people and are more willing to choose things they understand.

This is an unchangeable fact.

The current mainstream particle standard model in international physics and the most influential string theory are areas that are familiar to many high-energy physicists and theoretical physicists, so they naturally tend to believe in related theoretical research.

Some laymen who are capable of independent thinking hold completely different views and are more inclined to believe Zhang Shuo's theory.

This is mainly because they do not do physics research, nor do they understand theoretical physics, high-energy physics, or quantum physics. It is even more unlikely that they understand string theory, which involves complex mathematics. In other words, they do not believe at all in the existence of the "high-dimensional description problem" of string theory.

In comparison, Zhang Shuo's theory is much more interesting. He believes that the four forces have a basic connection, so they can be transformed into each other.

Such a theory sounds more reliable than "high dimension".

However, scientific research departments and decision makers will of course believe in the judgment of professional scholars, and professional scholars prefer to believe in what they know. Even if some professional scholars are interested in Zhang Shuo's theory, they will not actively promote it, because in the new field, the knowledge they know has no advantage at all.

Due to the limitations of thinking logic brought about by the huge knowledge system, they cannot even catch up with doctoral students who know nothing and have just entered the scientific research circle in research in new theoretical fields.

Therefore, foreign scientific research departments and higher-level decision-making departments prefer Michael Yole's "Chaotic Field Theory" and "High-Dimensional Dark Matter Theory".

Of course, the world is not black and white.

Neither Mike Joel's theory nor Zhang Shuo's theory has reached the level of being recognized by everyone.

Some scholars simply do not agree with any of them. Based on the energy force field gauge theory, they have studied other theoretical directions and published some of their results in physics journals, which have been recognized by other scholars.

This situation is very normal.

Zhang Shuo was not surprised by this. It was the same in his previous life. Once a theoretical foundation was established, there would be a lot of related research internationally. Some of the research was even directly conflicting. "Source Point Theory" was just one of them.

As time passed, the "Source Point Theory" continued to improve and develop, and more scholars joined in the research, and it gradually occupied a mainstream position.

In this life, research has just begun, and the pace of development is so fast that theoretical physics has not stagnated for too long, and more people are pinning their hopes on the improvement of the standard model of particles.

This is also the influence he brought.

The time is too short, too short to make the mainstream academics change their thinking. They still hope to continue the original theoretical system rather than accept a completely new system.

Of course, it doesn’t matter at all.

The development of this theory up to now has far surpassed that of the previous life, because he has led the team to verify the foundation of the "Source Point Theory".

In addition, Zhang Shuo has no intention of vigorously promoting the theory.

In fact, it is very easy to promote the theory, such as publishing all experimental data, inviting top scholars from other institutions to visit the project team, sharing experiments with other scientific research institutions, and so on.

In this way, other scientific research institutions can also conduct the same experiments. They can also detect clear gravitational signals and naturally embrace the new theory.

But no.

Research is not only about theory, but also about technological application, and what they are studying now is applicable technology.

"We must continue to accumulate experimental data and do more basic experiments."

"If we want to get clear results, we need to do more experiments. At the current rate, it will take about two months, right?"

Zhang Shuo roughly estimated the time.

Two months is not a long time, but compared to finding the solution of a mathematical model, it is actually a long time.

This also shows the difficulty of the research.

……

Mike Yoel's "Higher Dimensional Dark Matter Theory" is indeed very influential.

Most importantly, the theory has received widespread attention and recognition from international scholars, and has also helped establish research directions.

Once the new direction was determined, many scholars immediately got involved, and various research results emerged.

There are a lot of papers on theoretical research related to dark matter, as well as a series of other related mathematical and theoretical research contents, but none of them are more outstanding than others.

"High-Dimensional Dark Matter Theory" and "Chaotic Field Theory" seem to have become the pinnacle of theoretical research.

Of course, time is also an important factor. Two months is still too short.

In such a short period of time, the nuclear organization has also made great moves. They frequently organize theoretical special meetings, and their main research is in the experimental direction.

They established the direction of Michael Yoel's research, but the specific experiments still needed to be discussed. The main direction was to improve the particle collider, with the focus on adding chaotic force field-related detections internally. One was to detect the mass loss of particles, and the second was to detect whether there were any special phenomena.

The special phenomenon may be the signal of "dark matter".

This is the experimental direction they are looking for.

After making the decision, the nuclear organization immediately began to design a plan and then applied for funding.

Funding, that is, asking for sponsorship funds from various partners, the initial funding is expected to reach 40 billion euros.

Although the new experimental direction has just been determined, the plan for improving the particle collider has just been released, the budget has just been prepared, and the funds have not yet been approved...but the most important thing is that the nuclear organization has once again become the focus of the field of high-energy physics and has once again become the leader in related research.

The Institute of High Energy Physics has become ignored. Their discovery of the chaos field seems to have become a past honor and is only recorded in the history of the development of physics.

Of course, people at the Institute of High Energy Physics are very concerned about this.

For example, Wu Jianning, Gao Hongli, Yu Fei, and so on.

Yu Fei has been in contact with Zhang Shuo, and he is a little worried about the actions of the nuclear organization. "They are already preparing to improve the particle collider, and the initial budget has reached 40 billion euros. Will their research soon surpass ours?"

"Your worries are unnecessary."

Zhang Shuo was amused when he saw the news. "I personally think they can't come up with anything. Whether they invest 4 billion or 40 billion, the result will be the same."

"This is just like the baryonic cp signal you once searched for. It is impossible to detect it and naturally there will be no results."

"You can think about it yourself. In which experiment is the chaos field most obvious? Of course, it is the hadron agent hyperon decay experiment."

"The chaotic force field of particle collision experiments requires such complex analysis to be discovered. It is hard to imagine relying on detection to conduct research. It can be said that the demand is high, the signal is weak, the investment is high, and the return is low..."

"In addition, the chaotic force fields that appear in particle collision experiments have nothing to do with dark matter. It is impossible for them to detect any dark matter signals or discover any new phenomena."

“This direction is totally wrong!”

After Zhang Shuo made his evaluation, he continued to say to Fei, "Just focus on researching the chaos field and don't worry about what the Nuclear Organization does. The more they do now, the more they will regret it in the future, and they may even become a joke..."

……

In two months, Zhang Shuo's project team completed many technical experiments and accumulated a large amount of data.

With data support, Zhang Shuo led the theoretical team to do a lot of analysis, and the task progress was greatly increased.

【Task 1】

[Research project name: Approximate solution of the electromagnetic force and gravitational relationship model that can be transformed into applied technology (difficulty assessment: B).]

(Recurring task.)
【Progress: 80.113%.】

(The remaining progress requires 140 scientific research coins.)
"Eighty percent..."

"With some more detailed data and detailed calculations, it will be almost done." What is lacking now is detailed data and reliable calculations. Subsequent research and calculations have been going smoothly. Zhang Shuo can even find the required range of magnetic field strength for a given solution.

"Between 0.5T and 1.3T..." After Zhang Shuo made a rough calculation, he couldn't help laughing.

This intensity is quite low.

Conventional conductors can produce magnetic fields below 2T, and the magnetic field strength requirement is below 1T, so their applications will become very wide.

This is also what Zhang Shuo feels satisfied with.

It is a bit like opening a lottery now. What we are studying is "solutions that can be converted into applied technologies", but until the solution is determined, the specific situation cannot be determined at all.

If the disassembly requirements are higher, it can be barely transformed into application technology. The difference lies in the scope of coverage.

For example, the magnetic field strength needs to be high.

This requires ultra-high-power power supply support, but the supply of electricity alone is limited. It may be able to support the manufacture of a gravity aircraft, but like a conceptual aircraft, it can only barely fly for five minutes.

On the contrary, the actual demand for disassembly is low, and gravity-driven aircraft powered by conventional energy can be manufactured, so the scope of application will naturally become wider.

and many more.

Of course, the research cannot be directly transformed into application. A lot of technical research and development will be needed in the future, but there are no technical barriers that cannot be broken through.

The Theoretical Center held another experimental meeting, and Zhang Shuo put forward a plan at the meeting, detailing the basic experiments in several ranges.

After the experimental meeting, Zhao Xincheng and Xue Baikun walked together and talked about the experimental plan.

"The experiment seems to have been refined. Before, only a rough parameter was needed, but now specific parameters are needed."

"Professor Zhang Shuo seems to have drawn a circle..."

"Yes."

Xue Baikun nodded and said, "I don't know why this is the case. Do those experiments need to be so detailed?"

"Or has the experimental analysis yielded a discovery?"

"Maybe."

Zhao Xincheng frowned but nodded.

After he came to work at the Theoretical Center, he never understood the experimental work. To put it bluntly, he did not understand why these basic experiments had to be done.

Of course, basic experiments are very important and can help solve the correlation model, but the question is, why these experiments?

If we take the experimental requirements for solving the correlation model as the base, the universe is infinitely vast and the basic experiments that can be done are endless.

Zhang Shuo directly circled a range, hoping to find the target location within it, but no one else could be sure that the target location existed within the range.

The basic experiments the team is currently conducting are to help continuously calculate the target position, but can it really be calculated?

What kind of point would that be?
These are all questions.

Now, after further detailed experiments, we can preliminarily infer that the analysis has made some discoveries, but because we didn’t understand it before, we understand it even less now.

Zhao Xincheng thought about it and shook his head.

Yao Qiming walked over from behind, with his head held high and a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood. He just greeted the two of them and planned to go straight over.

Xue Baikun grabbed Yao Qiming and said, "Director Yao, what do you think of the plan that Professor Zhang Shuo just mentioned?"

"What do you mean?" Yao Qiming was a little confused.

"Why do we do these experiments?" Xue Baikun couldn't wait to ask. They were all engaged in theoretical physics research. Even when doing experimental work, they hoped to know the principles and get to the bottom of why.

Yao Qiming certainly didn't know why. He had never even studied the theory and was not directly involved in experimental work.

On weekdays, he rarely interacts with these "outside" researchers.

Therefore, many people in the project team are still not familiar with Yao Qiming.

Xue Baikun and Yao Qiming had only spoken a few times and had no private contact, otherwise he would not have asked Yao Qiming.

Yao Qiming certainly would not admit that he didn't know. His expression remained unchanged, and he quickly consumed his brain cells and said, "I don't think you need to worry about this."

"Oh?"

Zhao Xincheng and Xue Baikun both pricked up their ears.

Yao Qiming said, "Since Professor Zhang Shuo has assigned the work, we should just do it according to what he said. What's the point of investigating why?"

He changed the subject and said, "Professor Zhang Shuo is an amazing person. You can always trust him."

"This is how I am."

Yao Qiming pointed at himself and said, "You may not know that I used to be the director of the Electromagnetic Laboratory and the only researcher there."

"At that time, the electromagnetic laboratory was a school-level research institute. It couldn't even be called a research institute, but a teaching auxiliary laboratory. Its main job was to teach students, manage some basic equipment, and so on."

"Then one day, Professor Zhang Shuo told me that he wanted to apply for a research project worth over 100 million yuan in the name of the Electromagnetic Laboratory."

"Put yourself in my shoes. If you were me, would you believe it?"

Zhao Xincheng and Xue Baikun looked at each other and couldn't help but shook their heads.

For a school-level laboratory that mainly focuses on teaching to apply for a research project worth over 100 million yuan? That's unrealistic!

Of course, it has been done now, but I certainly wouldn’t have believed it at the time.

Yao Qiming said cheerfully, "I believe it!"

"Zhang Shuo said it, and I believed it. Why? I have always known that Professor Zhang Shuo is a magical person, a person who creates miracles."

"He has accomplished so many things, including mathematics and physics. Did anyone believe it before it was completed?"

“Who would have thought that a scholar in his 20s could solve the NS equations? Who would have thought that he would get a Fields degree one year after graduating with a Ph.D.?”

"These are miracles, so I believe him."

“It’s the same now!”

"Although if I think about it carefully, I can understand why Professor Zhang Shuo arranged such an experiment, but I will not think about it or study it at all, because it is a waste of brain cells and has no meaning at all."

"All I have to do is trust Professor Zhang Shuo!"

After saying this, Yao Qiming left with firm and confident steps.

Zhao Xincheng and Xue Baikun looked at each other again.

Xue Baikun couldn't help but sigh, "Director Yao really sees things clearly!"

"yes……"

Zhao Xincheng deeply agrees.
