I failed a course, and the system became my study supervisor.

Chapter 71 Dayan's Destination

Without delay, Xu Ling directly contacted the teaching secretary who managed the undergraduate research program.

The teaching secretary listened to Xu Ling's questions patiently, but she was not clear about the arrangements for each college.

But the secretary expressed his willingness to ask for Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was very grateful.

Two days later, Xu Ling received a response from the teaching secretary.

Unfortunately, since the school currently has no need to develop batteries or drone manufacturing, several colleges have clearly stated that they will not work together on Xu Ling's project.

Without the support of these colleges, it would be almost impossible for Xu Ling to accomplish it on his own.

Forget it, let’s go see what interesting topics there are in electromagnetism.

If other students knew that Xu Ling had to enter Zhang Zhongyao's laboratory out of necessity, they would inevitably beat their chests and stamp their feet in anger.

Among all the departments of Shanghai University, the School of Physics has the most abundant scientific research funding, and the final results are also extremely impressive.

Not to mention electromagnetism, many projects are calculated in billions.

For example, the establishment of a stable and strong magnetic field in the past two years.

It is said that it cost 100 million yuan and finally surpassed most countries in this field. The gap with the technological powerhouse, the United States, is minimal.

Moreover, the projects that Zhang Zhongyao is responsible for are generally top-notch.

With such a background, it is hard for ordinary students to imagine why Xu Ling was initially reluctant to go.

【Teacher Zhang, I would like to join your laboratory. 】

Xu Ling took the initiative to send a message to Zhang Zhongyao.

To Xu Ling's surprise, Zhang Zhongyao replied almost instantly:

[Haha, welcome. Don't worry too much about the topic selection. Find some time to come to our lab and learn more.]

What about the research project application? I think there's a time limit.

Xu Ling was still a little worried.

[Don't worry about that. Just fill out an application form and you can modify it later.]

Zhang Zhongyao said indifferently.

Is this what it feels like to go through the back door?

So cool.

Other students may struggle for a long time over choosing a topic, but Xu Ling doesn't have to worry at all.

I'm afraid that even if there is no result by then, Zhang Zhongyao can fill in another one for him.

But Xu Ling would not allow himself to do so.

Zhang Zhongyao gave himself such a wide range of choices, not to let himself get away with it, but to develop his own abilities.

Xu Ling knew this very well.

Moreover, only if this project is done well will there be an opportunity for cooperation next time.

Xu Ling would not let down his guard because of Zhang Zhongyao's preferential treatment. On the contrary, he would demand more of himself.

So before entering the laboratory, Xu Ling's top priority was to understand as much as possible about the muon probe that Zhang Zhongyao was researching.

Through Zhang Zhongyao's introduction and the reference materials he recommended, Xu Ling finally saw the tip of the iceberg of this research.

The main idea of this study is to use collinear muon beams to detect the neutrino charge-parity violation factor.

According to Zhang Zhongyao's idea, a positron beam with an energy of 45 GeV is needed to hit the target to produce a high-energy collinear muon beam. These muon beams propagate and decay to produce neutrino clusters.

The latter will fly more than 1000 kilometers to reach a distant detector. By detecting the appearance rates of muons, electrons, tao neutrinos and their antineutrinos respectively, the charge-parity conservation violation factor of neutrinos can be detected.

In fact, the theoretical derivation of this research has been almost completed, and if Xu Ling joins, he can directly participate in the experiment.

The detector is located in the Nuclear Physics Laboratory of Peking University and Tsinghua University in Beijing, more than 1000 kilometers away.

Obviously, this is still a collaborative project.

It is a tale of two cities belonging to Shanghai and Beijing!

It's a waltz between Shanghai University, Tsinghua University and Peking University! But such a large-scale project brings another problem.

That is, Xu Ling's participation was very limited. He just made a cameo appearance throughout the whole process, and his name was added to the end of the list of experimenters at the end.

Of course, Xu Ling would not let go of such a good opportunity. He was just thinking about whether he could do a smaller project independently.

What should I choose for an independent topic?

Eddy electric field? Magnetic dielectric material?
Magnetic issues in superconducting materials? Giant magnetoresistance?
Or magnetic fluid?

In just a few seconds, several ideas popped into my mind.

In order to make a choice among them, Xu Ling still needs to consult some information and see the specific content.

His goal was to find an experiment that was small-scale or comparable to previous batteries and drones.

The new semester has just begun, the course schedule is quite tight, and there are also many complicated and trivial things to do.

Xu Ling could only take time out of his busy schedule to go to the library or directly use the electronic database to look up relevant information.

After a lot of searching, Xu Ling finally found a direction that seemed more suitable - using electromagnetic induction heating technology to optimize the performance of lithium battery electrode materials.

This direction perfectly meets Xu Ling's wishes.

It has not only not gone beyond the research field of electromagnetics, but has also been linked to the ABS system.

You should know that the key component of ABS is still lithium battery.

This is a paper Xu Ling found in "Energies". The impact factor of "Energies" is 3.0 and it belongs to SCIE.

This article not only proposed the idea of this technology, but also achieved limited results.

Of course, what Xu Ling wants to do is not to replicate, he wants to improve.

Of course, if I want to do this project, I still need Zhang Zhongyao's approval.

Xu Ling immediately sent a message to Zhang Zhongyao to express his thoughts.

But Zhang Zhongyao's reply was somewhat hesitant:

To be honest, it's a bit difficult for you to do this project at our school right now because our school's focus isn't on batteries, so we don't have anyone to help you.

Xu Ling only then remembered this, but he didn't want to give up because Zhang Zhongyao's tone left room for maneuver.

Professor Zhang, to be honest, I worked on a battery-related project at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology this summer, and I wanted to connect it with my previous research.

Is your desire strong?

Zhang Zhongyao confirmed again.

【Yes! 】

Xu Ling's tone was firm.

It took a long time for Zhang Zhongyao to reply.

[In that case, I can recommend you to go to a technology company doing battery research, where you can try this topic.]

Technology company?

Xu Ling was a little slow to react for a moment.

It turns out that sentence is true!

For university teachers, teaching is just a side job.

What about the research project at Dayan?

Xu Ling asked rationally.
