Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 71 Signing a formal agreement, Agostini: CP leader? Interesting

The Computing Center sent a message confirming the cooperation project with Zhang Shuo.

The project funding agreement will be delivered next week. After both parties sign the agreement, the Computing Center will transfer the first payment.

At that time, the cooperation will officially take effect.

Zhang Shuo's research has already started ahead of time. He has already built the system tasks and has made considerable progress.

【Task 1】

[Research project name: Algorithm planning for large-scale experimental bias analysis (difficulty assessment: B).]

【Progress: 17.303%.】

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 7.)
(The remaining progress requires 249 scientific research coins.)
【Scientific research currency: 76. 】

"17 percent."

"It takes 7 research coins to cancel a mission. The mission system has played a significant role!"

Zhang Shuo already understood the mechanism of the system.

The number of scientific research coins required to cancel a task refers to the value of scientific research coins converted from the help given by the system during the research process.

For example, direction correction.

When the research direction is correct, the progress of the system tasks will be improved, otherwise it will not be improved.

This can help correct direction.

For example, krypton coins.

Krypton coins will directly increase the progress of the task, and the consumed scientific research coins will also be counted as the system's effect, and the number of scientific research coins used to cancel the task will be increased.

Even if the research coins are your own...

This way of thinking is not right. The scientific research coins seem to be system-based. After spending the coins, you will have to pay double if you cancel the task.

This is the mechanism and cannot be changed.

Zhang Shuo shook his head. The task was not difficult.

The assessed difficulty of the task has reached level B, and each advancement requires three scientific research coins, but everything is actually already in mind.

The overall plan for the research has been completed, and the subsequent work is to make subdivided frameworks, modules, and even detailed algorithm content on a large scale.

The difficult parts require detailed analysis of the algorithms, especially those involving experimental digital conversion, and detailed analysis of each functional algorithm package.

The deviation assessment system is a computational means of converting experimental numbers.

To achieve digital transformation of real experiments, we must first divide the experimental parameters into modules. Simply put, we put related parameters together and then calculate the impact deviation separately.

For example, the evaluation value of a comprehensive parameter module is 5.

Another parameter module that has a unilateral impact on the above modules has an evaluation value of 7.

The correlation deviation judgment value between the two is 10%.

那么计算的输出结果就是‘5+（7-5）×10%=5.2’。

This is just the simplest numerical example.

In the digital conversion part of the experiment, because there are many relevant influencing factors, the number of evaluations will be large, and clarifying the logical relationship between modules is the most core issue.

However, this is much easier than analyzing the logical relationship between individual parameters.

Large-scale particle collision experiments have too many parameters and too many correlations. After being integrated into small modules, the number of modules is no less than the number of parameters, but the mutual influence is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the overall logic will be simplified.

In the work of splitting the framework, Zhang Shuo is only responsible for the most core parts, mainly including analog-to-digital conversion, experimental digital conversion and comparison algorithms.

The remaining tasks that are not difficult will be handed over to others.

Later on, he will be responsible for the review.

The audit work is relatively simple, and you can rely on the progress of system tasks to see if there are any overall problems.

If there are problems with the framework or module planning, it can be seen in the task progress.

This is also the important role of system tasks in direction correction.

The work assignment was handed over to Luo Yongjun.

Luo Yongjun also thought about the project work. "It is definitely not possible to find someone from the School of Mathematics for this. We should find someone from the School of Physics, preferably a researcher from the Institute of Quantum Research."

"People in the School of Mathematics don't know much about particle collision experiments, but the Institute of Quantum Research knows more, so they should have no problem doing this work."

Zhang Shuo thought about it carefully and made a suggestion, "We can hand these tasks over directly to the Quantum Research Institute and transfer some of the funds to them. I don't think they will refuse."

The advantage of handing over the work to an organization is that you don't have to go through the trouble of finding someone, and you don't have to worry about every aspect.

"Our requirements are fast speed and high quality. It's their problem as to who they find to do it," Zhang Shuo explained.

Luo Yongjun was a little hesitant.

If you hire someone to do it alone, it will definitely be troublesome and laborious, but the financial expenditure will be less.

On the contrary, the expenditure will be higher.

It's like decorating a house. It will definitely be more expensive if you outsource it to a decoration company. It will naturally be much cheaper if you buy the materials and hire workers yourself and complete it piece by piece.

Luo Yongjun talked to Zhang Shuo for a few more words and finally agreed.

This research is different from the last one. The last time we were involved in making an algorithm package, which could be reviewed directly after completion. But now we are making a plan, and each part is related to other parts, so they must be reviewed as a whole.

If you go to people individually, the audit may become messy.

The two kept talking.

Luo Yongjun also felt a little depressed.

There was not much he could do on the project as the core work was completed by Zhang Shuo, and he could only do some minor work.

Sun Xingli was walking around next to him. He found that he couldn't do anything, so he simply asked, "What can I do? Didn't we agree that the three of us would work together to complete it?"

"Give me some work too!"

Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun looked over together, their eyes seemed to be saying 'it seems like you said all that'.

Luo Yongjun patted Sun Xingli on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry! When the project is completed, you will be indispensable for the celebration party!"

Looking at Sun Xingli, Luo Yongjun felt very relieved.

This project belongs to Zhang Shuo, and the research content is all about complex algorithm planning. There is very little work he can do and he can only play an "assistant" role.

Sun Xingli didn't understand the parameters of the particle collision experiment, so naturally he couldn't do anything.

After making the comparison, Luo Yongjun felt that he was very outstanding.

Sun Xingli suddenly felt a little depressed. He continued, "We are all together. You should let me help you with something."

"How about I go buy lunch?"

"The poached chicken at the shop in front of the school is very good..."

Zhang Shuo looked up and said, "No need, right? Just order takeout, it'll be delivered pretty fast."

"Right."

"Let's have boiled chicken for lunch!"

Luo Yongjun took out his mobile phone and started ordering food.

Sun Xingli suddenly became even more desperate.

It's bad enough that I can't help with the project, but when I want to help buy lunch or run errands, the delivery man takes my place?

Society is so cruel!
……

In the afternoon, Qiu Zhichao came to the computer room.

He came on behalf of the Quantum Research Institute and started talking about project issues with Luo Yongjun as soon as he entered.

The Quantum Research Institute is naturally very interested in participating in the project. They are not a direct participant, but only do part of the work as an outsourced one. But that's good too!
The Quantum Research Institute has never been short of projects, but funding is never enough for scientific research institutions. It would be nice to do some high-priced outsourced work and increase some extra income.

In addition, Zhang Shuo's project is very famous.

Large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithms are a research topic being conducted by various high energy institutes, and it is also prestigious to say that you have participated in some of the work.

Gao Xiaohong also came.

She didn't listen to what Luo Yongjun said about the project, but moved closer to Zhang Shuo and asked in a low voice, "Last time you said you didn't recommend me to join the CP team... Am I really not going?"

"The momentum of the CP group's expansion is quite strong. Many people are saying that if they apply to join now, they can start working next week."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Shuo, don't you want me to go?"

After saying that, he quickly added, "It seems that Agostini is coming. There has been news from the CP team that they may discuss cooperation with the Nuclear Organization."

"Who?"

Zhang Shuo was stunned for a moment and looked up in confusion.

"Agostini, the crazy guy at the last CHEP meeting." Gao Xiaohong asked doubtfully, "You should know him, right? Aren't you collaborating on a research project with him?"

Zhang Shuo sat up straight, looked at Gao Xiaohong seriously and asked, "You know we are working together, why do you still think he is going to join the CP group?"

Gao Xiaohong was stunned.

Sun Xingli suddenly said, "Agostini came to Sudong University to look for Zhang Shuo."

"What about going to CP? It must be fake."

"Soochow University has received the information and confirmed that he will arrive on Wednesday. Judging from the time, he will not leave the Capital Airport at all."

"Is that so?"

Gao Xiaohong was full of doubts. She opened the communication app on her phone and saw that many people in the group were still discussing -

"Agostini's team made a great contribution to the discovery of the Higgs boson. It is said that he almost won the Nobel Prize in Physics."

"This guy has a weird personality, but he is indeed a genius. He has a close connection with the Nuclear Organization's CP team..."

"The head of the CP team of the Nuclear Organization is Francisco, right?"

"At the last meeting, the algorithm that Agostini was researching should have been revised. I don't know the details, but it feels very promising..."

The people in this chat group are all representatives from universities that have cooperated with Gaoneng, including Xue Hongtao, Tian Guilin and others.

Because the news was released by the CP group, they were all discussing this matter.

Gao Xiaohong didn't know whether she should tell others about the situation. She held the phone for a long time, but after thinking about it, she decided not to.

Anyway, it was someone from the CP group who said that, so just pretend you don’t know.

She was just about to hand over her phone when she saw a message from Professor Du Juan, asking her if she had applied for the CP group.

Some people applied, mostly representatives from universities in the capital and surrounding areas.

Among the representatives from universities that are farther away, very few applied to join, because they all have families, and joining the CP group means working in the capital for most of the year.

Gao Xiaohong is one of the very few people.

She is only thirty years old and is the youngest among the college representatives.

She hesitated but still replied, "I haven't applied yet. I still want to stay in the university."

"Why?" Du Juan replied immediately.

Gao Xiaohong sighed and replied, "Sister Juan, if I join the CP group, I may be single until I die!"

"It seems so!"

"Then don't apply!"

Du Juan thought about it and understood.

Gao Xiaohong was only 30 years old, which was the most anxious age for women. She went to work in the CP group in the capital, and was surrounded by professors in their 40s and 50s.

Even among the younger ones, most of them have families.

It would take at least five or six years for the CP group's work to be completed. So what would it matter if he was promoted to professor?
Youth is all gone!
……

Next week, here it comes.

The Computing Center sent the project funding agreement, and both Soochow University and Zhang Shuo signed it.

The contract is effective and the project is officially established!
After Zhang Shuo signed the agreement, he put the matter aside. He opened his mobile phone to check Agostini's flight.

"It should be at the Capital Airport."

Luo Yongjun said, "We will arrive at Sudong in three hours, and it will be around two o'clock when we get to school."

"Then there's still time to eat and take a nap." Zhang Shuo said as he stretched lazily.

At the same time, Capital Airport.

Tan Zhiming personally led the team to wait at the international flight exit.

There were several researchers following him, and one person was holding a sign with the English name 'Bullman-Agostini' written on it.

Agostini's party consisted of four persons.

Besides himself, there was an old professor in his fifties, and the rest were two young men in their thirties.

As soon as they walked out of the flight channel, they noticed Tan Zhiming and his group.

That sign is too conspicuous.

Agostini walked over and asked in confusion, "Are you from Sudong University?"

Tan Zhiming glanced at Agostini and suddenly reacted, "Hello, Mr. Agostini."

He reached out his hand.

Agostini also reached out his hand and touched his, and then asked, "Are you from Sudong University?"

Tan Zhiming was a little confused, but he introduced himself, "Mr. Agostini, I am Tan Zhiming, the person in charge of the CP destruction project at the Institute of High Energy Physics. Welcome..."

"Aren't you from Sudong University?"

Agostini interrupted Tan Zhiming, then looked him up and down, muttering, "CP destruction project leader? Same as Francesco?"

"interesting……"

He shook his head and asked, "Excuse me, where is the domestic flight?"

Someone pointed in a direction.

"Thank you!"

Agostini nodded at him and then walked straight in that direction.

The other three followed immediately.

Tan Zhiming stood there in a daze, staring at the disappearing figures of the group, muttering, "Are they gone?"

"gone?"

"Leaving now?"

Yu Fei suddenly said, "Academician Tan, he just kept asking about Sudong University. Is it possible that... he didn't come here to cooperate with the CP team, but went to Sudong University specifically?"

"Forehead."

Tan Zhiming also reacted and shouted angrily, "Do you need me to tell you?"

"Let's go too!"

"Go back and ask Zhou Gang from the Quantum Research Institute. They knew Agostini went to Sudong University, so why didn't they tell us?"

"We've been waiting here for over an hour for nothing!"
