Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 73: Genius and genius, a madman who is more confident than a madman!
The next morning, Zhang Shuo and Agostini met in the research institute building.

The collaborative research officially began.

Agostini's team consists of four people, including himself and a Czech scholar in his fifties, Jan Kalvach Purkinje.

The other two were young men in their thirties, one named Liam Bach and the other Elias Sopel.

Luo Yongjun also came.

Although he couldn't do anything, he could add a head count to Zhang Shuo, just like supporting the team.

Researchers such as Qi Zhixiang and Wang Hui also came to take a look around.

Agostini was fully focused on his research. He ignored everyone else and sat down to discuss research issues with Zhang Shuo. The core point was the revision of the signal evaluation system.

“That’s the most important part.”

Agostini said with certainty, "If we make the evaluation system focus on the detection of signal energy differences, we may be able to find something."

He was uncertain about the results, but just felt that research should be conducted in this direction.

Zhang Shuo affirmed his idea, "I also think that the signal evaluation system is the most core part. If we can complete this part, we have completed most of the work."

“The general direction of the revision has been determined, and now we have to make detailed revisions.”

The research began with a holistic look at the signal assessment system.

They conducted detailed analysis and demonstration on each part of the framework and algorithm of the signal evaluation system, and then discussed and determined the modification plan.

When it comes to actually getting to work, the Agostini team demonstrates superb efficiency.

Agostini is a super genius, whose IQ is definitely at the top of the human pyramid. In the field of mathematics and computers, it is difficult to find someone more talented than him.

Kalvaher is experienced and very professional.

He has worked in the data center of the Nuclear Organization for more than twenty years, and has been engaged in research in the field of mathematics and computer science.

Liam and Elias serve as assistants, but each of them is an outstanding talent in the field of algorithms.

Each of them is excellent and they work very well together.

Whenever a problem arises, Zhang Shuo would propose the direction for modification, and Agostini would think about it and give suggestions for modification.

The other three quickly carried out the order.

In the workshop, Zhang Shuo and Agostini discussed together, "There should be some adjustment of the score difference and the evaluation index during this period."

"Shrink? Compared to the standard... 0.15."

"almost."

“You can do the math and see.”

Agostini turned around and shouted, "Substitute 0.15 and calculate the deviation."

"Roger that!"

Kalvaher led the other two to do the calculations.

Not long after, Elias came over with a pile of columnar manuscripts and announced the results, "Deviation range, 0.38 to 0.41."

"It's still a little high..."

Agostini said seriously, "Perhaps, we should make some small corrections to the previous part. It is difficult to reduce the deviation by just substituting numerical values."

Zhang Shuo agreed, "Make a small program, debug it and directly put it into the calculation to find the closest value."

"Did you hear that?"

Agostini turned around and shouted again.

"receive……"

Doorway.

Qi Zhixiang, Wang Hui and Luo Yongjun watched together. The three of them looked at each other and walked away silently.

Wang Hui exclaimed, "Agostini is a genius. The efficiency of the team he leads is so high..."

“If I join in, it will be hard to keep up.”

“It’s stressful to watch them work.”

Qi Zhixiang also sighed, "Zhang Shuo and Agostini discussed the issue, and it seemed that he was not at a disadvantage at all. He was even the one who held the initiative..."

"He seems to be a greater genius than Agostini."

"Of course." Luo Yongjun said proudly, "Don't you even look at whose student he is?"

"Are you at this level?"

"You don't even understand what I'm saying, stop flattering yourself!"

Qi Zhixiang and Wang Hui made sarcastic remarks together.

Luo Yongjun coughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, if I publish a paper in the Annals of Mathematics, do I qualify to be a researcher at the High Court?"

"You mean the Annals of Mathematics, one of the Big Four? The Princeton one?"

"Yes."

Luo Yongjun nodded vigorously, his eyes full of anticipation.

Qi Zhiqiang and Wang Hui looked at each other, and they both felt that the questions just now seemed somewhat familiar.

Published in four major journals?
Is the next step to discuss the funding issue?

Wang Hui quickly shook his head, "I don't know about this, Professor Luo, you'd better ask Dean Tan."

"Yes, yes. If you have any questions, ask Dean Tan. We are just ordinary researchers and don't know much about policies."

Qi Zhixiang also hurriedly spoke.

After saying that, they made an excuse of being busy with work and left quickly.

Luo Yongjun stood there for a long time, and finally spread out his hands helplessly, feeling full of grievances.

He really wanted to ask!

I have worked at Soochow University for nearly twenty years, and my long-standing pursuit has been to work as a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Studies.

Now I have finally submitted an article to the four major journals...

Just asking in advance, what's wrong?
……

Agostini is an internationally recognized genius and the team he leads has extremely high work efficiency.

What is it like working with geniuses and talented teams?
Zhang Shuo only wanted to say one word——

tired!
really tired!

He had a little understanding of how Luo Yongjun felt back then. Every day, he worked except for sleeping, and even discussed issues during meals. From 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., the average working hours were 13 hours. It felt that it was not easy to stick to it.

"Don't they say that Europeans don't like to work overtime?"

Zhang Shuo couldn't help but complain in his heart that what brought him pressure was not the long working hours, but the tacit cooperation and super high efficiency of Agostini and the other three people.

Agostini was a genius.

Kalvaher has a very strong execution ability, and the two young men are also very efficient. Once they come up with a problem, they can quickly give the answer by calculating or writing code.

Zhang Shuo was a little too busy and he was always tense.

In fact, Agostini and his group had much more feelings than Zhang Shuo, especially Kalvaher.

Kalvaher is also a scholar in the field of mathematics and computers, and he has worked with Agostini for many years.

In the field of mathematics and computers, he had never seen a more talented person than Agostini.

Now I finally see it.

This research was thought up by Agostini. Perhaps out of his crazy self-confidence, he attributed the failure to detect CP destruction signals to "problems with the research itself."

Research is based on this.

Generally speaking, Agostini should be the leader of the research.

But Kalvaher discovered that the person leading the research was Zhang Shuo.

Many problems were raised by Zhang Shuo. Agostini only proposed several solutions to the problems. It was Zhang Shuo who finally finalized the solutions and determined the content.

Zhang Shuo was not the one who finalized the plan forcefully. He always made decisions after discussing with Agostini, but each decision was initially proposed by him.

Therefore, the purpose of the discussion was only to convince Agostini.

In addition, Zhang Shuo is always able to make quick judgments on every issue. Their team has four people, but it feels that the overall efficiency is not as high as Zhang Shuo alone.

Kalvaher and Agostini also felt very tired, even more tired than Zhang Shuo.

After all, they are not young anymore.

Working such long hours every day and concentrating for such a long time, I feel very tired both mentally and physically, but I hold on just because I don't want Zhang Shuo to look down on me.

Such continuous and efficient work will also bring great benefits.

In seven days, one week, they completed the correction of the signal evaluation body.

The moment they were sure it was done, Agostini, Kalvaher, and even Liam and Ilias all relaxed, "It's finally over!"

"This part of the work is so complicated that I feel like I can't hold on any longer!"

"So tired, a week..."

"When I get back, I will definitely take a vacation, travel around and relax."

Zhang Shuo also exhaled lightly and said with a smile, "Now we can go out and play around. I think we should take a few days off."

Liam and Elias immediately looked at Agostini.

In their expectant eyes, Agostini nodded and said, "Go and have fun. I'll pay for it all."

"yeah--!"

"Great!"

"This is my first time in China, I must see everything!"

Liam and Elias cheered together.

……

After the signal assessment system was revised, the research faced a new problem - the next direction.

Agostini and Kalvaher had discussed it, but they only had a general idea and didn't know how to do it specifically, let alone whether the research would make sense.

If the algorithm ultimately detects nothing, all the work is worthless.

After they relaxed, Agostini, Kalvacher and Zhang Shuo discussed this question, “What should we do next?”

"After the probability evaluation and analysis of the signal, it should involve the calculation of energy value. We have not thought about this aspect yet..."

"Isn't it very clear?"

Zhang Shuo asked doubtfully, "We are almost done!"

He suddenly reacted.

Agostini and Carvajal had no system. They did not know the progress of the research, let alone whether the research could be completed.

Agostini and Kalvaher both looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Zhang Shuo explained, "The signal evaluation system is the core. After we have the judgment value, we can calculate the energy value by partition."

"that's it."

"For example, we can calculate that the energy value of a certain probability partition is overall different from that of other partitions. What does this mean?"

Agostini thought about it and said, "Does it mean that there is a signal to destroy the CP hidden inside?"

"Correct."

"Then don't we have found the CP destruction signal?" Kalvah asked in surprise.

"No, not really."

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "The algorithm cannot confirm the CP destruction signal, it can only prove that the CP destruction signal will be hidden in the conversion signal."

Agostini nodded, as if to encourage himself, and added, "This is also our goal!"

Kalvaher was more rational. He understood what Zhang Shuo meant, but he was still very uncertain. What was strange was that he found that Zhang Shuo was more confident than Agostini.

In the eyes of many people, Agostini is a confident madman.

Zhang Shuo...

It seems that he is even more confident than Agostini!
Zhang Shuo was of course more confident. He checked the progress of the system tasks and began to look forward to it.

【Task 2】

[Research project name: Prove that the 'signal conversion analysis' method hides the CP violation signal (difficulty assessment: B). ]

【Progress: 86.912%.】

(The task can be canceled. Currently, the number of scientific research coins required to cancel the task is 72.)
(The remaining progress requires 51 scientific research coins.)
“Close to 87%!”

"The signal evaluation system is the core part, and the other parts are much simpler."

"Only 13% left, almost done!"
