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

Chapter 76 Programming Shortcomings
As a highly technical person, although Wu Chenghai was unhappy, he would not make things difficult for a young intern like Xu Ling.

For the rest of the evening, Xu Ling continued to study on his own.

It was almost ten o'clock, and the remaining members of the team left one after another, and Xu Ling also left the company.

……

“Can you use Matlab?”

“I’ll use it a little.”

"Just a little bit is enough. Run the data and then draw the image."

"Ok."

The next day, Xu Ling was finally no longer an invisible person and received his first task from Wu Chenghai.

This request was not difficult, but Xu Ling took it very seriously, hoping to leave a good impression on Wu Chenghai and allow himself to participate more in the future.

He worked diligently, but not slowly. In just half an hour, Xu Ling showed the results to Wu Chenghai.

"Very good, I'll call you when I need you."

Wu Chenghai's tone was neither salty nor bland.

However, Xu Ling did not receive any work instructions until everyone left work.

Xu Ling did not lose heart because he realized that his ability might not have reached that level yet.

But a week passed in the blink of an eye.

The most Xu Ling does every day is to run the data, and sometimes he can't even run the data.

If Xu Ling wanted to know the research progress of the group, he had to ask Lu Qingyao.

According to Lu Qingyao's description, the model has been initially established and the actual experiments are about to begin.

This made Xu Ling very depressed.

He thought he had a deep understanding of the ideas and methods of the entire research, and that modeling was entirely possible.

But the fact is, during the entire modeling process, I only seemed to run the data a few times.

This was a far cry from Xu Ling's original vision. If he couldn't even participate in the experiment, how could he possibly propose his own ideas?

"Team Leader, I want to get more involved."

That day, Xu Ling finally couldn't help it and found Wu Chenghai.

"Aren't you already involved?"

Wu Chenghai answered slowly.

"I just ran the data a few times."

Xu Ling said indignantly.

"Besides running data, what else can you do?"

Wu Chenghai said mercilessly.

“I can prove the theory!”

Xu Ling blurted out.

"The theoretical proof has already been made, so there's no need to do it again."

"Then I can still..."

Before Xu Ling could finish, Wu Chenghai interrupted him: "You can still do modeling, right?"

"Correct!"

Xu Ling was a little unconvinced.

"But how do your programming skills compare to my teammates?"

Wu Chenghai asked back.

Compared with them? They are all experienced workers, how can we compare?

Xu Ling was speechless for a moment.

Wu Chenghai continued, "They are more capable, so why should I hand the work over to you? Who will bear the cost of wasting more time?

This isn't a school. I don't have the same responsibilities as your teacher, and I'm still training you in the project. Do you understand?

I'm very grateful that you can intern here and I'm willing to let you run the data. We don't lack people anyway."

Xu Ling was completely stunned.

What Wu Chenghai said is the truth.

This is someone else's company, and they are pursuing efficiency. It is not my own school, and it is not an exchange program.

I was able to intern here thanks to Zhang Zhongyao’s recommendation. Why are there so many requirements?
Besides, didn’t Xu Ling gain anything from this internship?

Of course not. At least Xu Ling understood the technology, mastered a lot of related knowledge, and understood the modeling process. For Xu Ling, these were already invaluable experiences.

After thinking it through, Xu Ling lowered his head and apologized to Wu Chenghai.

Wu Chenghai didn't say anything else.

On the contrary, he had even more recognition for Xu Ling.

……

"One last run through the data."

Wu Chenghai said.

Yes, it’s still data processing, but Xu Ling no longer has any complaints.

"Is the modeling completely complete?"

Xu Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, we are already doing experiments on the other side."

Wu Chenghai replied.

"So how do the simulation results compare to the experiments?"

Xu Ling continued to ask.

"Not bad. They basically match up pretty well."

Wu Chenghai raised his eyebrows slightly when he answered.

After running the data for such a long time, and occasionally communicating with team members, Xu Ling actually had some questions about the data.

Taking advantage of Wu Chenghai's good mood, Xu Ling brought it up: "I observed all the previous data, and I found that we didn't seem to focus on the impact of heating system parameters on the heating effect, especially the impact of copper coils.

And there doesn’t seem to be any discussion of the impact of electromagnetic induction technology on battery life.”

The copper coil mentioned here is a device that needs to be loaded inside the lithium battery to generate eddy currents for heating.

Wu Chenghai was very surprised when Xu Ling asked such a question.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Chenghai replied: "We will study the impact of electromagnetic induction technology on battery aging in the future, but there is no doubt that electromagnetic induction technology is superior to the previous external heating method in this regard.

As for the influence of heating system parameters you mentioned, the relevant modeling is somewhat complicated and not the main issue.

We are not planning to do this for now; that is an issue we should consider optimizing in the next phase.”

Xu Ling nodded to show that he understood.

……

Soon, the one-month internship came to an end and all the work of the research team was completed successfully.

The effect of this electromagnetic induction heating technology exceeded everyone's expectations and achieved a major breakthrough.

When the copper wire is subjected to a sinusoidal alternating current of 8A and 50HZ, the lithium battery can be heated from 243.15K to 293.15K within six minutes.

The instantaneous heating rate is 0.263K/S, and the temperature distribution is uniform.

The results were impressive, but they had nothing to do with Xu Ling. However, Xu Ling did not feel too depressed.

After the internship ended and Xu Ling returned to school, he immediately found Zhang Zhongyao.

"How is it, how do you feel about this internship?"

Zhang Zhongyao's tone revealed concern.

“It’s completely different from doing projects in school.”

Xu Ling said with some emotion.

"Of course. Both serve different purposes. Anyway, was there any gain?"

Zhang Zhongyao said with a smile.

"Yes. I realized my shortcomings."

"This is a good thing. Only when we have shortcomings can we correct them and make better progress."

……

During this internship, Xu Ling concluded that he had two shortcomings.

First, it's about my mindset. Perhaps my previous achievements were too impressive, leading me to become overly ambitious and even disdainful of doing work like running data.

Secondly, my programming skills were definitely lacking. Compared to the other members of the research group, I was a far cry from them.

Which subject should I add to improve my programming skills?

Informatics?

Or linguistics?
After all, programming languages ​​are also languages.
