Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 68 Project accomplished! Just planning? He could have done it all by himself!
More than half an hour.

Zhang Shuocai just finished talking about the digital conversion part of the experiment.

He paused to drink a sip of water.

Kevin Cui and several others discussed the issue together, and each of them spoke highly of the architecture of the digital transformation part.

To see whether there is a problem with an algorithm research, it is mainly to look at the framework. If the framework is logically sound, there will be no basic problems.

As for the details of the algorithm, further research is definitely needed.

After discussing for a while, Bao Hexing said, "Professor Zhang, we feel there is no problem with this part. What's next?"

Zhang Shuo put down the cup and continued, "The next step is comparison."

“Comparison of simulations and experiments.”

"Numerical comparison is relatively simple, so there is no need to explain it in detail. In terms of comparison, it is very important to note that the correspondence between numbers is not in terms of position, but in terms of order."

"The ordering of simulations is generally fixed, while experiments ..."

He continued speaking.

This part of the content is relatively simple, and it mainly involves sorting and comparison.

The first number in the sorted list corresponds to the first number, and the second number corresponds to the second number, rather than corresponding according to the position relationship.

Therefore, the output result is also an overall deviation, rather than a detailed deviation outputted by a small-scale experimental analysis.

After Zhang Shuo finished his brief talk, he also concluded, "This is the overall algorithm."

“You can see the potential of this algorithm, right?”

"All high-energy physics institutions are working on it. Whichever institution completes it first will have a great advantage."

"By then, there may be many high-energy physics institutions vying for data and asking for help in analysis."

"If there are any discoveries during the analysis, they can be published as results..."

Zhang Shuo just said a few words casually, but Cui Kaiwen's team nodded frequently.

This is also an important reason why they want to cooperate with Zhang Shuo.

All high-energy physics institutions are working on algorithms for large-scale experimental deviation analysis. It is very important to be the first one to come up with one. After the algorithm is developed, the large-scale experiments will be analyzed and the results will be published as achievements.

It would be even better if there were discoveries during the analysis process; the results of large-scale experimental analysis may be able to determine the physical phenomena.

That is definitely a world-class result.

Cui Kaiwen and Bao Hexing's eyes lit up as they thought about it.

The Computing Center has always been an institution attached to the Experimental Physics Center. It is said to be an ultra-large high-energy physics platform, but in fact, it helps with calculations.

All experimental results belong to the Experimental Physics Center.

It is different now.

The large-scale experimental analysis algorithm is their project, so the results of the analysis belong to the computing center and have nothing to do with the physics center.

Luo Yongjun was also listening in the audience, and kept paying attention to the expressions of Cui Kaiwen's team.

Obviously, they were excited.

Turning his head again, he looked at Zhang Shuo who was standing on the podium with a kind smile, and suddenly he felt that Zhang Shuo was like a big bad wolf seducing a little white rabbit.

The Big Bad Wolf promised countless green vegetables...

Little white rabbit, have you taken the bait?
Luo Yongjun reflected seriously and said, "I still need to learn more about this."

"When I asked for funding, I just lacked the link of drawing a pie in the sky..."

“If I had said at that time that I would definitely be able to expand on Professor Chen’s work and publish a paper in the Annals of Mathematics…”

"grass!"

"No one will believe it!"

……

The team at the Institute of High Energy Physics is no slouch, they certainly know that Zhang Shuo's words are just empty talk.

But as long as the algorithm can be implemented, the pie in the sky can be eaten.

The deviation algorithm for large-scale experimental analysis is so important that every high-energy physics institution has formed a team to conduct research.

Whoever can complete the research first may get a bigger piece of the pie.

They have the greatest chance of collaborating on research with Zhang Shuo, because the research itself was proposed by Zhang Shuo.

After the explanation, we discussed cooperation and funding.

Wang Duoju arranged for them to go to a soundproof office on the second floor of the administration building, which was specially prepared for discussing matters.

Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun went in.

Cui Kevin, Bao Hexing and Liu Ye also walked in together. Liu Ye closed the office door after entering.

The others were waiting outside.

At this time, Zhou Gang, Qiu Zhichao and other people from the School of Physics had already left, and the remaining people were those related to the project, including people from the Institute of High Energy Physics, school administrators, and Sun Xingli who stood on Zhang Shuo's side.

On the school side, the only person who may understand the situation is Sun Xingli.

After waiting for a while, Wang Duoju couldn't help but whisper to Sun Xingli, "Professor Sun, how big is the scale of your project? How much funding can you get?"

"This one……"

Sun Xingli scratched his head and said, "I don't know either."

"You estimate."

"I really don't know." Sun Xingli smiled bitterly, "Zhang Shuo is the only one who knows the project best. I haven't even looked at the algorithm architecture, and I didn't understand what was said just now."

"Then why are you sitting with them?" Wang Duoju asked doubtfully, "I see you are always with them, you must know something about the situation, right?"

She added, "No need to keep secrets from me."

Wang Duoju is in charge of the college's school-enterprise cooperation projects, and Zhang Shuo is talking about a personal project, but as long as the funds are managed through the school, she will definitely know the details.

Sun Xingli continued to scratch his head and sighed, "Director Wang, please don't ask me. I really don't know. Didn't you see that I stayed outside?"

Wang Duoju's eyes immediately turned to Mu Ran, as if to say, "Why are you so useless?"
The door opened.

A group of people immediately looked over.

Luo Yongjun pushed the door open and walked out. His face was tense and looked very serious, as if he was very dissatisfied with the result.

If you only look at Luo Yongjun's expression, you will subconsciously feel that the project discussion is not going well, and there is a high probability that no cooperation has been reached. Wang Duoju was startled and was about to ask something when the other people came out one after another.

Their expressions were similar, with smiles on their faces and relaxed demeanor.

Cui Kaiwen walked out and extended his hand to Zhang Shuo, "Then it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope you can finish it quickly."

“Everyone in the computing center, including Director Cao, is looking forward to this algorithm!”

"Happy cooperation!"

Zhang Shuo and Cui Kaiwen shook hands vigorously. "We will do it as soon as possible. You also need to prepare in advance. The algorithm is quite large. I will send some confirmed modules in advance."

"that would be great!"

A few people walked out talking and laughing.

Luo Yongjun took the lead and walked much faster than the others. After walking out of the building, he rushed towards the corner.

Sun Xingli ran a few steps to catch up and asked doubtfully, "Did the deal go through? I saw they said it went through?"

"It's done."

"Is it because of insufficient funding?" Sun Xingli asked.

Luo Yongjun looked back and made sure that no one was following him before he stopped and stretched out a slap.

"five million?"

Sun Xingli nodded and said, "Not much indeed. It's a large-scale algorithm project, so important, and several or even dozens of times more complicated than the last one."

"Didn't your last project cost one million? Zhang Shuo also received personal funding..."

As he spoke, he saw Luo Yongjun squatting on the ground with his hands on his stomach.

Luo Yongjun could no longer hold back his expression. He stretched his mouth to the widest possible curve, held his stomach and laughed non-stop.

"What's wrong with you?"

Sun Xingli was walking around, his eyes full of confusion, "For such a big project with a budget of 5 million, there's no need to laugh like this, right?"

"you do not know!"

Luo Yongjun looked up after a long while. "Do you know what the project is called? The name of this project is "Research on Planning of Large-Scale Experimental Analysis Algorithms."

"Planning? Understand?"

“You don’t need to make a detailed algorithm. You just need to plan and write a framework diagram and split the modules. That’s it! It’s done!”

"One plan, five million!"

"Zhang Shuo... he is really evil. I really learned a lesson today. I thought that for planning, a few hundred thousand would be a lot."

He slapped his thighs with joy.

Sun Xingli was a little confused. It took him a long time to react. He said blankly, "Why did you react like that? It's amazing! You don't even need to make an algorithm or write a program. It's just a plan."

"Couldn't he have done it all by himself?"

"No matter how complicated it is, a few more people will always be enough..."

He suddenly reacted as he spoke, and immediately squatted down with a flattering look in his eyes, "Professor Luo, look at me!"

"Ivy League PhD, associate professor of mathematics, young, energetic, 996 worker... Can you take me on one of your projects?"

"You? A 996 worker?"

Luo Yongjun stared at Sun Xingli and pulled the corners of his mouth hard, "Is he playing games 996? Maybe 007, not missing a single day!"

He shook his head and said, "I can't decide this. Ask Zhang Shuo."

……

Five million is indeed a lot of money for algorithm planning, but the prerequisite is that the algorithm must be completed, that is, it can ultimately realize deviation analysis for large-scale experiments.

This is similar to a bet agreement.

If the algorithm can be implemented, everyone will be happy, but if it cannot be completed, the loss will not be great.

Cui Kairen and his team were very satisfied with the agreement. Their goal was to complete the algorithm. As long as the algorithm could be completed, the funding would not be a big deal.

Zhang Shuo was also very satisfied and he had absolute confidence in the algorithm.

In addition, by analyzing large-scale experiments, or even conducting an overall analysis of multiple experiments and studying the deviation value, it is possible to determine the "unknown physical discovery."

this is very important.

Some important theories in previous lives were based on the analysis of "unknown physical discoveries".

The confirmation of "unknown physical discovery" is the starting point for a new round of take-off in physics.

After discussing the project, the Institute of High Energy Physics team prepared to leave.

Zhang Shuo sent them to the school gate. He and Liu Ye walked in front and kept talking about experimental issues. "Have you ever considered detecting various types of energy losses in particle collision experiments?"

"For example?" Liu Ye was a little confused.

"Electromagnetic energy loss."

Zhang Shuo said one word bluntly.

Liu Ye was stunned after hearing this, and then said, "High-energy physics research around the world, including nuclear organizations and Fermilab, seems to have not tested this aspect."

"Our experiment is based on imitation." Zhang Shuo said bluntly, "But how can there be a breakthrough if we only imitate? I think your experiment can consider measuring various types of energy loss in particle collision experiments."

“Once the experimental bias algorithm is developed, perhaps we can find some connection between the data of the two.”

Liu Ye listened and nodded, "What you said makes sense."

He attaches great importance to Zhang Shuo's opinion.

Tan Zhiming has always said that Zhang Shuo does not understand physics, perhaps because at that meeting, Zhang Shuo mentioned the possibility of "force field chaos" in response to his discovery of the blank area of ​​particles.

That goes against the very foundations of mechanics and energy.

However, Liu Ye does not think so, or rather, the basic physics group does not think so. Including Liao Zhenyu and Academician Gao Hongli, everyone has a high opinion of Zhang Shuo.

In fact, this is also true.

The study of deviation analysis algorithms for large-scale experiments sounds like a computer research project, but it is not easy to understand all the parameters involved in large-scale experiments, let alone sort out the relationship between them.

That requires a very good understanding of particle collision experiments.

If you understand the experiment very well, how can you say you don’t understand physics?
