Chapter 127 The visit of the expert group of the Institute of Materials Science and Technology and the official publication of the paper
Bruce Pulitzer regarded reviewing the paper on the hail conjecture as the most important task. He was worried that his level was not enough, so he went directly to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
He found Andrew Wiles to help 'split' the content of the paper.
Andrew Wiles is one of the most famous mathematics professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He can even be said to be one of the most famous mathematicians in the world. He can be ranked in the top three because he completed the proof of Fermat's conjecture.
, making this century-old conjecture become Fermat’s Last Theorem.
After completing the proof of Fermat's conjecture, Andrew Wiles can be said to have become famous.
Over the past twenty years, his main job has been to be invited to give lectures at universities and institutions around the world. By the way, he has won a series of awards and participated in the affairs of some mathematical societies.
Of course, being invited to serve as a reviewer for top mathematics journals is also indispensable.
Facing the proof paper of the famous mathematical conjecture, Andrew Wiles was naturally full of interest. His level was indeed very high. He studied with his colleagues for more than an hour, browsed it from beginning to end, and divided the paper into seven parts.
parts.
Andrew Wiles said, "Although the paper does not have many pages, the proofs are not easy to understand."
"Even if there are only two or three pages of content, it will take a long time to confirm (whether it is correct)."
Bruce Pulitzer grinned when he heard this. A mathematical proof paper with more than 20 pages turned out to be "a paper with not many pages"?
A mathematical proof, more than twenty pages?
The only person in the world who can say this is probably Andrew Wiles. His proof of Fermat's conjecture exceeds one hundred pages, and twenty pages is just a fraction.
With the help of Andrew Wiles, the thesis splitting process went smoothly.
Together with his colleagues, Andrew Wiles decided to review the first two sections of the paper.
Bruce Pulitzer sent other parts to the people he had contacted before. His network was indeed very wide. Among the people responsible for reviewing the content, there were three Fields winners, one Wolfe winner, and two
The first one is a professor from the Clay Research Institute, and the gorgeous lineup is enough to make people stagger.
They worked together to examine the proof of the hail conjecture.
…
Wang Hao found that the paper had entered the second review status, and he was somewhat looking forward to passing the review. His proof had no problems, and it was not as complicated as Wiles's proof of Fermat's conjecture, which required his own explanation to confirm the content.
.
So Wang Hao is not too worried. It is only a matter of time before the review is passed.
These days, his life is neither hasty nor slow.
I was so tired some time ago that I kept doing research whenever I had time and spent almost all my time on work.
Now that the proof of the hail conjecture has been completed, we can naturally relax for a while and there is no need to consider new research for the time being.
At least this week is very leisurely. His elective course "Elementary Number Theory" started in the third week, and his retake course on probability theory also started in the third week.
In other words, he has no course left.
In terms of scientific research, there is no new content for the time being, and there are no courses in teaching.
Wang Hao has become the most leisurely person in the office in the complex building, because no students usually come to see him, so he just goes to work, drinks coffee, reads books, and even watches several movies in a row.
In the afternoon, Wang Hao took Zhang Zhiqiang's car and went to the mall. Chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang on the way, he felt that he should also buy a car.
Zhang Zhiqiang kept talking about his car, "It costs 180,000 yuan, a joint venture car. This car is easy to drive, has enough horsepower, and accelerates quickly. It is no worse than those cars that cost 40, 500,000 yuan."
"The main thing is that the car is small, light, has enough power, and accelerates quickly..."
As he spoke, he also showed off his driving skills, accelerating and overtaking the car in front, with a proud smile on his face.
Wang Hao thought about it and said, "I remembered it. There seems to be a 4S store next to the shopping mall. How about I go and have a look?"
"Let's go, I'll take you there."
Zhang Zhiqiang immediately became interested and took Wang Hao to the 4S store.
After they entered the 4S store where the car was sold, it only took them 20 minutes before they came out with the salesperson smiling apologetically.
After getting in the car again, Zhang Zhiqiang asked with confusion, "Wang Hao, why did you decide without thinking about it for a while?"
"You should take a closer look and study carefully to see which car is more cost-effective, and the one you ordered is a bit expensive."
"I think the order was too hasty. Stores like theirs only make money from people like you."
Wang Hao asked with some confusion, "Is it expensive?"
"That's not true." Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "He initially said 270,000, but then I helped you pay back 3,000, didn't I? In the end, it was 267,000. The price should be okay, but..."
Zhang Zhiqiang didn’t know how to express it either.
Wang Hao only saw one car and made a decision immediately. He helped pay the price, but how could he buy a car in such a hurry?
He always felt weird and something was wrong.
Wang Hao said nonchalantly, "As long as it's not more expensive than what others bought, it'll be fine."
Zhang Zhiqiang was still a little entangled. He tried his best to express his thoughts, "But you should research it, right? In terms of power, cost performance, and model, you don't have to buy this brand."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Why do so much research? This car seems to be the best-selling car of this brand, so there is no need to analyze it."
"I don't understand cars. No matter how carefully I study, can I still understand it better than those who sell cars? Why waste so many brain cells? The market has already done the analysis for me."
"...It seems to make sense." Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.
After starting the car, his mind couldn't help but start thinking.
When he bought a car, he researched it for a long time in advance. After settling on two or three models, he struggled for a long time. He even read a lot of guides online before finally making his decision.
When Wang Hao bought a car, he just went in and looked at one model. Knowing that this model was the most popular, he decided to order it.
What is the difference?
He spent a lot of energy on researching and buying a car, while Wang Hao didn't spend any energy at all. It was like going to the mall to buy a piece of clothing. It didn't matter what the material was, as long as it looked pleasing to the eye.
The results of it?
The car he bought didn't seem to be more cost-effective than the car Wang Hao bought.
Zhang Zhiqiang cleared his mind and couldn't help but fall into deeper thinking, "Is this what makes me worse than Wang Hao? I always waste energy on these meaningless things."
"Even if you try very hard to analyze, the results you get may not be correct. It can even be said that it doesn't make any sense. You just buy which car sells better. The market has already helped with the analysis."
"It makes sense!"
As Zhang Zhiqiang thought about it, he felt that his life had gained a new understanding, and his thoughts seemed to have entered a new level.
After Wang Hao got out of the car and left, when he was sitting alone in the car, he suddenly felt something was wrong when he thought about it carefully...
“Why do I have to worry about buying a car for so long?”
"If I had millions in my hands, I wouldn't worry about it. I would just buy the one I see is good. What is the price/performance ratio? I don't care!"
"Still poor..."
He immediately shed tears of poverty.
A few days later.
Wang Hao picked up his new car, got the license plate, and drove to work. He was in a good mood.
Although the school was very close to his home, because he had a new car, it felt better to drive it. When he got to the road, he saw a familiar figure.
"Su Yingxue!"
Wang Hao opened the car window and shouted.
Su Yingxue was wearing a long down jacket and walking slowly along the roadside. She turned her head in confusion and smiled when she saw Wang Hao, "Did you buy a new car?"
"Yes, do you go to school too?"
"Go to the NanoVis laboratory." Su Yingxue said.
Wang Hao nodded and signaled Su Yingxue to get in the car. After she put on her seat belt, she asked with a smile, "Are you a novice driver?"
"Don't worry, veteran driver." Wang Hao said with a smile, stepped on the accelerator and walked forward in a leisurely manner. He was indeed an experienced driver in his previous life, but he still had to get used to the new car.
The two started chatting.
Su Yingxue talked about the Nanoscale Laboratory and that there will be people from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials. "I heard from Professor Xia that it seems that the Nanoscale Laboratory will develop in the future."
Wang Hao didn't care much. He followed up with a few words and asked about the progress of the microsphere research project.
Su Yingxue nodded and said, "It's faster than expected. Micron-level microspheres have been successfully separated. However, we still need to continue research in the near future, but I feel that the standard should soon reach 0.5 microns and above 0.2 microns."
Based on the standards, there shouldn’t be any technical obstacles.”
"That's good."
The two of them exchanged a few words and arrived at the parking lot.
Su Yingxue wanted to get out of the car and unbuckle her seat belt, but found that the seat belt did not retract automatically.
Wang Hao glanced at it and simply leaned over, almost half-hugging Su Yingxue, his arms inadvertently close to the soft spot.
He took advantage of the situation and moved his head over, reached over Su Yingxue and pulled it with his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The seat belt was quickly retracted.
He wondered, "What's the problem?"
"I didn't notice it hanging on my arm just now." Su Yingxue explained, opened the car door, got out of the car, smiled sweetly at him, turned and walked away.
After turning around, her face couldn't help but have a touch of rosy color, and her steps suddenly became lighter.
Wang Hao looked at Su Yingxue's back, recalled what happened just now, and immediately reacted, thinking to himself, "She didn't do it on purpose, right?"
"Take advantage of me?"
He chuckled and shook his head.
…
The next morning, an expert team led by the Institute of Aeronautical Materials arrived at Xihai University.
The lineup of the expert group is very gorgeous, including two academicians, five researchers, and two accompanying doctoral students, respectively from three institutions - Institute of Aeronautical Materials, Wuhan Iron and Steel Central Research Institute and Polymer Materials Laboratory.
In fact, it was Qu Shigang who took the lead and found a few acquaintances to come together.
In addition to Qu Shigang of the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, another academician is Wang Jiming of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Central Research Institute.
Wang Jiming is a well-known academician and the deputy director of the Central Research Institute of Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. He has long been engaged in the research and development of low-cost, high-performance steel materials and thin slab continuous casting and rolling technology.
The group arrived at Xihai University and were immediately warmly received.
The reception team sent by the school was also very gorgeous, including Wang Haiyan, director of the Publicity Department, Zhu Jianping, director of the Science and Technology Office, and of course Xia Guobin, head of the NanoVis Laboratory, as well as several materials science researchers and professors from the school.
The most important person receiving the reception was Xia Guobin, because he was the person in charge of the NanoVis laboratory, and the "purpose" of Qu Shigang and his party's visit was to visit and inspect the NanoVis laboratory.
Xia Guobin attaches great importance to the visit of Qu Shigang and his entourage. He has prepared a lot of manuscripts and even carefully considered every office, equipment, personnel, and project of the Nanolab.
After thinking for a while, I figured out how to introduce it.
But the visiting group, especially the leader Qu Shigang, seemed to be talking about a strange topic, "Where is Professor Wang Hao's office?"
"Where does he usually work?"
"Does he have class today? Will it disturb us if we come?"
He even said, "Why don't you go see Professor Wang Hao first?"
Cao Dongming behind him felt that it was a bit excessive, so he quickly reminded him and pulled down Qu Shigang's sleeve with his hand.
Xia Guobin felt something was wrong. He thought it was because of Wang Hao's reputation, so he mentioned that Wang Hao was an excellent data mining expert and had helped NanoVis laboratory with experimental data analysis.
These words are to the point.
After the topic turned to Wang Hao, communication became much smoother.
This topic didn’t end until entering the NanoLab.
Xia Guobin began to introduce the NanoVis laboratory, and also talked about the projects it was working on, especially the microsphere project in cooperation with Skyworth Technology, a horizontal project worth tens of millions, so naturally he had to focus on the introduction.
Qu Shigang was a little surprised when he heard the introduction, "Microsphere project, Invas Microsystems Group? Does your laboratory still have such a project?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Cao Dongming pressed his forehead and lowered his head.
Others were a little surprised. They didn't have a detailed understanding of the NanoLab before they came. They just formed an expert team and came to visit.
Xia Guobin tugged at the corner of his mouth. He felt something was wrong just now, and now he felt even more wrong.
Experts from this field came to inspect NanoVis Laboratory, but they didn’t even know about the projects being done by NanoVis Laboratory?
However, he still suppressed the doubts in his heart and began to make the introduction seriously.
At this time, the people on the expert team became really serious. Horizontal projects worth tens of millions, especially R&D cooperation with private companies, were not something that ordinary laboratories could handle.
For example, some national key laboratories can receive horizontal projects that are in cooperation with state-owned enterprises. State-owned enterprises, especially large enterprises, will definitely find high-end laboratories for cooperative research and development, and only these large enterprises can
A lot of money will be invested in research and development.
Private companies will also invest a certain amount of money in research and development, but because most private companies are limited in scale, the funds invested are relatively small, and every R&D investment will be carefully calculated.
The fact that TraMicro Group is willing to invest tens of millions in cooperation with NanoVis Labs for research and development is enough to illustrate the strength of NanoVis Labs.
This is even more convincing than some laboratories receiving hundreds of millions of horizontal projects.
The expert team became serious.
Xia Guobin finally had the opportunity to speak out the draft he had prepared bit by bit. While talking, he took the expert group to visit, including the laboratory, equipment, etc., and introduced them in detail.
Nanolabs still have a certain appeal. They are engaged in the research and development of nanomaterials technology. The research and development of nanomaterials is different from alloy research, technology, and equipment, and seems to be more high-end.
In particular, the newly introduced steady-state high magnetic field manufacturing equipment can produce ultra-high magnetic fields, and its technical content is very high.
After the visit, the expert team spoke highly of NanoLab.
Qu Shigang felt that he had come to the right place.
Of course.
Compared to NanoLab, Wang Hao is obviously more important.
So when the school recruited a group of people for dinner, Qu Shigang, Wang Jiming, and Cao Dongming left with the excuse of looking around.
Xia Guobin could only continue to entertain others.
Qu Shigang and the other three went to the office in the complex building.
They had already inquired and found out that Wang Hao had been staying in the office for a long time, but when they arrived at the complex building, they saw a lot of people gathered at the door of the building, including many reporters.
As they were about to enter, they were stopped by the security guard, "No one else can enter except the people in the building now."
"Why?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"We're looking for Wang Hao."
"Looking for Professor Wang Hao?" The security guard pointed at a group of people next to him, "Did you see that they are all looking for Professor Wang Hao."
"...We are from the Aeronautical Materials Institute." Cao Dongming quickly explained.
The security guard said calmly, "I don't care whether it's a materials institute or not, we can't enter now anyway."
"..."
Cao Dongming knew that he would definitely not be able to deal with the security guard, so he simply went to the side and asked what exactly happened.
A middle-aged reporter explained, "You don't know this? You must not be from the school, right?"
"Do you know "New Advances in Mathematics"? It is one of the four major international mathematics journals and the most famous academic journal!"
"This journal has just published a paper by Professor Wang Hao!"
"Do you know what the paper is?"
"That's the proof of Kakutani's conjecture! Do you know the Kakutani conjecture? Let me explain it to you, that is..."
Cao Dongming found that he was being given a math popularization lesson by a reporter from the journalism department, but he still pretended to listen carefully, and at the same time, he was deeply shocked.
Kakutani conjecture?
Wang Hao proved it?
After the reporter finished speaking, he walked back to Qu Shigang's side and said with shock, "Academician Qu, Academician Wang, I just asked you clearly."
"Wang Hao..."
"Completed the proof of Kakutani's conjecture! These are all here to interview him!"
Qu Shigang and Wang Jiming were also shocked, "What!"
"Kakutani conjecture?"
"Do not make jokes?!"
"The paper has been published. We will find out if it is true or not..."
I had a headache when I woke up in the morning, and now I have a headache and eye pain.
I finished writing the update with a lot of pain. It was very uncomfortable. I don’t know what the status will be tonight. Let me tell you in advance that there may not be an update. Please don’t wait.
