Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 63: The mentor returns with a strong attitude, double happiness!

4 days, 96 hours.

It may take scholars more than this amount of time just to attend an academic conference.

However, Luo Yongjun felt that he had survived.

Apart from eating and sleeping, I spend the rest of my time thinking about research.

He only went home once during the trip, and was scolded by his wife, who said that he was having an affair and neglecting his family.

He sighed miserably, "My affair is the Monge-Ampere equation!"

Luo Yongjun felt helpless and confused.

Zhang Shuo said he wanted to do research with him. At first, he didn't think it was a big deal, as it was normal for a student and a tutor to study a math problem together.

The problem is that--

This student's level is too high!

Ridiculously high!

What he spent hours thinking about was not even as efficient as what Zhang Shuo could finish in ten minutes.

Every time, Zhang Shuo would first listen to him talk about his research ideas, just like "checking students' homework", and then comment on and correct what he said, and then go directly into the subsequent argumentation content.

This process not only points out the direction of the argument, but also completes a large amount of computational work.

Every time after Zhang Shuo finished speaking, he would slowly try to understand it, and then continue with the follow-up research based on his understanding. Because he would be "checked on his homework" next time, he had to spend a lot of time and effort to "catch up on the progress."

Otherwise, if there is no progress at all, wouldn't that mean we are being looked down upon?
In order not to be looked down upon by his students, he had to spend more time thinking and researching.

Early that morning, Luo Yongjun, with red eyes, read the complex mathematical content written in the draft book.

That was what Zhang Shuo left yesterday.

Until now, he still hasn't been able to fully understand it, especially the part about border expansion arguments, whose complex logic makes him dizzy.

After carefully reading the draft for ten minutes, he felt his mind go blank.

"What did you write?"

"Why can't I understand? What was I thinking just now?"

"Why is this so..."

"never mind!"

Luo Yongjun slammed the draft book on the table, his voice sad and desperate, "That's it! It's embarrassing..."

“That’s my level!”

After he finished speaking, he lay down on the chair, put his feet on the table, did the standard Ge You lying position, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

In the dream, Zhang Shuo came.

Luo Yongjun woke up with a start and opened his eyes to find...

Zhang Shuo is right in front of you!

"Teacher Luo, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Shuo put the lunch box in his hand on the table, "Eat breakfast first. If you are tired, eat and rest later."

"I went back and thought about it again yesterday, and completed the last missing part."

"I'll tell you about it when you've rested."

Luo Yongjun rubbed his forehead with his hand, and his mind became clearer. He forced a smile and said, "I'm fine now..."

"Teacher Luo, let's eat first!" Zhang Shuo shook his head and pushed the lunch box over.

Luo Yongjun started eating without hesitation.

Zhang Shuo sat aside and carefully checked the system. Yesterday, the research progress had reached '99%', with only a few proof logic problems left to be completed.

Although the research is only a little bit away from completion, it is very difficult to complete 'this little bit'.

The entire argumentation process is a whole. It must be logically seamless, and no mistakes can occur in the middle. To improve it, you must think about it as a whole and examine the argumentation process from beginning to end.

Pure mathematics is indeed very difficult.

Sometimes, it can be very cruel. A small logical problem that cannot be overcome may cause the entire research to collapse.

Zhang Shuo still chose krypton coins, because the number of krypton coins needed for the upgrade was only a little bit off.

After five coins were consumed, the system refreshed two messages.

【Task 1, completed, can be submitted. 】

[The number of scientific research coins consumed to purchase the task progress reaches 100, and a new task column is opened: Task . ]

"Perfect!"

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. When the research progress reaches 100%, the number of krypton coins is just enough to upgrade.

"Teacher Luo, you are awesome!"

He sighed and gave Luo Yongjun a thumbs up.

Luo Yongjun almost choked on the food in his mouth. He quickly picked up the water bottle and took two gulps. He thought to himself, "This should be the kind of sarcastic praise that a tutor gives to a student when he is dissatisfied with him, right?"

"I must get it back from Liu Chengjie next time!"

At this point, the research task is shown as completed.

[Task 1] [Research Project Name: Smoothness Demonstration of Monge-Ampere Equation (Further Reducing the Smoothness Requirements of Boundaries) (Difficulty: B). ]

【Progress: 100%.】

[The task has been completed and can be submitted! ]

"submit!"

Zhang Shuo chose to submit without hesitation, and immediately received the scientific research coins as a task reward.

【Scientific research coin +50.】

"Fifty points? It should be given according to the 'second contributor', which is exactly one tenth of the research needs."

"The first contributor will receive one-fifth of the reward."

“If an individual’s research contribution is small, only a few coins will be awarded.”

At the CHEP conference, Zhang Shuo came up with the final '1%' of the algorithm research published by Agostini. When he submitted the task, he only received two research coins as a reward.

All I can say is, it’s better than nothing.

While Zhang Shuo was studying the system, Luo Yongjun had already finished his breakfast. He simply packed up, put the draft book on the table, and put on a righteous and fearless attitude, "Okay, the spirit is back!"

"Speak!"

Zhang Shuo smiled nonchalantly, and he sat over to explain, "We were just a little bit short of it yesterday. There are still loopholes in the logic of the extended function."

"The comparison matrix does not perfectly prove the smoothness of the solution."

"We need to make a summary and connect it with the argument of the density function. Let's see this step..."

“There is still this step…”

"Combining 1, 3, and 7, we can make all the values ​​continuous..."

"So, the convex cross-section of the intersection of the expansion function and the third boundary function corresponds to a smooth solution to the original equation."

"complete!"

Zhang Shuo put down his pen and stretched lazily.

Luo Yongjun kept listening and nodding.

It was not until Zhang Shuo put down his pen that he murmured, "That's right. This proves that the solution of the cross-section corresponding to the original equation is smooth."

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Shuo with a blank expression, "And then? Anything else?"

"besides?"

Zhang Shuo was puzzled, "Isn't it already completed?"

"what?"

Luo Yongjun asked in confusion, "Completed? What completed?" He muttered, "Smoothness proof?"

"Boundary arguments for the Monge-Ampere equation ..."

"It seems so!"

As he spoke, a smart man stood up suddenly, and the chair hit the ground with a 'bang' sound.

Luo Yongjun's eyes sparkled. He pushed his hair up, changing his previous decadence and confusion. He held the draft book in front of his eyes with both hands and stared at it, "Yes, it's done!"

“The scope is continuous, there are no breakpoints, and the logic is perfect…it’s really done!”

He shouted excitedly, countless images flashing through his mind.

When applying for the project, Yao Song had a reluctant look on his face; other people knew the content of his project and looked at him with completely distrustful eyes; at the gate of the Supreme Court, Wang Hui and Academician Tan described themselves as "slackers".

and many more.

"grass!"

"I'm done!"

"Now let's see what you say!"

Sun Xingli walked in from outside.

Seeing Luo Yongjun shouting and swearing excitedly, he walked over to Zhang Shuo and asked in confusion, "Lao Luo...did you drink chicken blood this morning?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at the leftovers of breakfast, "Red date porridge, it's also red."

"It's all the same, all the same."

Sun Xingli said, "It should be because he is drunk."

At this time, Luo Yongjun rushed over, supported Zhang Shuo's shoulders and said, "We are doing research together. I am the corresponding author and you are the first author. Is this how we divide the work?"

"Uh... ok."

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly.

The research originally belonged to Luo Yongjun, so Luo Yongjun was naturally the corresponding author. He didn't understand why Luo Yongjun was so excited?
Is it research?
That doesn’t seem right, right?

Luo Yongjun made an 'OK' gesture, glared at Sun Xingli fiercely, and then became more excited than before.

Student is the first author and supervisor’s corresponding author.

The doctoral supervisor's attitude is back!
The research is completed and the mentor's attitude returns strongly.

Double happiness!
