From university lecturer to chief academician Chapter 201: The parties who intensified the involution, the embarrassment of Donggang and the peak expectations
Chapter 201: The parties who intensified the involution, the embarrassment of Donggang and the peak expectations
A week ago, I said I had forgotten the project and had not officially started researching it.
A week later, it was done.
Wang Jiming couldn't understand Wang Hao's research speed. How could it be completed in just one week?
For such a major experimental analysis, they asked two teams to ask questions, and all received negative answers.
Wang Jiming still trusts Wang Hao. He knows that Wang Hao cannot simply say that it has been completed. He must have reached certain conclusions through analysis.
"Is everything completed, or is it only half completed, and experiments and reference are needed to continue research?" He felt very unsure, so he quickly read the content.
Wang Hao sent just a few charts, which marked the relationship between magnetic field strength and material, as well as the relationship between temperature and material.
The content of the chart is clear and concise.
At a glance, you can tell that the analysis has been completed and the conclusion is even in front of you.
Ding Zongquan looked at the conclusion with Wang Jiming. He immediately made a calculation based on the data. He was very surprised when he saw the calculated value. He immediately asked, "Dean, is it the final conclusion that Professor Wang sent, or a rough analysis?"
determination?"
There is a difference between the two.
If we just do a simple analysis as a whole, we can draw certain conclusions, but without detailed analysis, the conclusions will definitely be very inaccurate.
At this time, let them do experimental verification, the purpose is to use the new experimental data to continue to do refined analysis.
Another possibility is that the content on the chart is already the final conclusion.
Both situations are possible.
Wang Jiming was not sure. Wang Hao did not make it clear on the phone, but he did not ask again, because no matter which possibility it was, it needed to be experimentally verified.
Ding Zongquan said, "According to this data, the probability of cracks in steel of every material will be greatly reduced."
"Steel cracks are the main cause of defective products, and our defective rate will be greatly reduced based on the existing ones."
"The data should be over 70 percent."
Wang Jiming took a deep breath after hearing this, "Don't say it can achieve the full effect, even if it is only two-thirds of the effect, it is enough to achieve the expected goal."
The goal of their research is to reduce the defective rate by half.
In this way, the defective rate can be controlled within 0.5 points, or even within 0.25 points, which reaches a range where the defective rate is extremely low. The production line technology can be said to be mature.
The purpose of their continued research on the project is to reduce the defective rate and improve the technology of the production line. However, now it is only slightly improved compared to the beginning, and is still far from the 50% goal.
Numerically speaking, it is only an increase of 10 to 20 percent compared to the beginning.
"No matter what the situation is, we will conduct tests immediately."
After analyzing the conclusions with Ding Zongquan, Wang Jiming immediately made a decision. Everyone in the conference room was still there, so he directly explained the work.
The WISCO Research Institute is already familiar with the experimental verification of double-kun casting and rolling technology.
Since three years ago, they have been conducting research around this production line. In the process, they have also conducted their own research and development and cooperated with the alloy laboratory.
They immediately selected a steel material that could be manufactured relatively quickly, adjusted it according to the magnetic field and temperature values on the chart, turned on the experimental equipment, and conducted simulation analysis and direct manufacturing.
This verification experiment takes one day, and the experimental equipment works from afternoon to early morning.
In order to obtain the results as quickly as possible, more than a dozen people worked overtime, squatting in the operation room, stopping the equipment in the early morning, and continuing with the next operation.
By the next morning, the staff began to collect statistics and quickly came to the conclusion, "The defective rate of this test accounted for less than 0.2% of all steel products."
"This is a rough estimate because we verify it through experiments. Most of them are finished products, and some of them have small flaws. Whether they can be counted as defective products also needs to be analyzed."
"In terms of statistics on the defective rate, it is impossible to get results without going to the factory's production line."
This is the conclusion after statistics.
Several researchers present were very surprised when they heard this. They had never encountered this problem before during experimental verification.
Low defective rate?
Is it so low that it cannot be statistically calculated using experimental methods?
They are still clear about this concept, that is, the steel produced in the experiment is too small to accurately count the very low defective rate. In other words, the defective rate has been so low that it cannot be verified experimentally.
"This should be considered a great success, right?" Ding Zongquan said with excitement on his face, "Wang Hao is indeed amazing. A few data helped us solve such a big problem."
Everyone was surprised by the conclusion.
Wang Jiming was also very surprised. This was definitely good news for the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute. He thought about it and simply contacted the manager of the factory production line and asked about the time when the double-kun casting and rolling production line equipment would stop. Finally, he directly put the parameters
He reported it and said, "Next time, adjust the magnetic field and temperature to the values I mentioned."
"This is indeed an experiment, but there is no need to submit an application."
"You can just produce normally. I will send someone over to calculate the defective rate."
"If the defective rate is much lower than it is now, we can just produce according to this data in the future."
After Wang Jiming put down the phone, he looked at the statistics again and couldn't help but sigh, "Wang Hao, this is amazing!"
"Eight million, it's worth it!"
Ding Zongquan said immediately, "When I heard you talk about this problem, I thought it would be okay to ask Wang Hao to help with the analysis, so I kept increasing the price and made sure to confirm it."
"It doesn't matter how many millions more you spend, solving the problem is the most important thing."
Wang Jiming couldn't help but think of the time when he invited Wang Hao to help with analysis.
Ding Zongquan didn't seem to care about money at all, and he would add a few million to the price as soon as he opened his mouth, as if he was not on the side of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that I think about it, it’s really right!
Compared with the research results that can improve the double-kun casting and rolling production line and greatly reduce the defective rate, what is the investment of eight million?
…
Saikai University.
Wang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief after learning the experimental verification data.
Analysis, after all, is analysis. It has not been verified by experiments, and no one knows what the specific results will be.
Now that he knew the results, the project could be said to be completed. He thought about it carefully and discovered the benefit of having people under his command.
For the project of WISCO Research Institute, he only did the core work, including code writing, data summary and recording and other complicated work, which were all completed by Zhang Zhiqiang and two students.
So he felt very relaxed all the time, and it didn't take much time to put it all together.
"It would be better if other people can be better. By then, even the analysis and sorting process can be left to others..."
Wang Hao thought.
Although the research has been completed and the conclusions have been sent to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, for the project, it is still necessary to summarize the analysis process.
Because it involves very complex underlying logic, he still has to do the summary work himself.
This is also where time is wasted.
He wrote summary reports not only for projects of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, but also for his own outstanding youth projects.
The content of his Outstanding Youth Project is the NS Equation. Now that the NS Equation has been completed, there is no follow-up content to continue, so naturally the project report can be written in advance.
It is better to submit the project earlier so that you can apply for other projects later.
The advantage of the Outstanding Youth Project is that the funding will not be recovered. As long as the project is completed normally, the remaining funds will still be placed in the school account and continue to be used to support other scientific research work.
This amount of funds is to support individuals. Submitting the results report earlier and settling the project directly will only have advantages and no disadvantages.
Of course, the results must be settled after the report is made. After all, no international academic institution has recognized his certificate yet.
at the same time.
Several people in charge of the Science Foundation and the Theoretical Mathematics Office of the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences are also talking about Wang Hao's research.
The topic started with this year’s outstanding youth and outstanding youth projects.
Regardless of whether it is the Outstanding Youth Project or the Outstanding Youth Project, the number of mathematical theory projects approved every year is very rare. They have even discussed setting up a special fund to specifically support theoretical research.
This is mainly because when research on mathematical theory competes with applied research, it can be said that there is almost no advantage at all.
It’s okay if there was no advantage before, many people are already used to it.
The advantage feels smaller now.
Wang Hao's two projects seem to have suddenly raised the threshold for applying for funding for mathematical theory projects.
In the past two years, the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences has funded dozens of mathematical theory projects, of which there are only seven projects with funding exceeding 500,000 yuan.
Wang Hao personally occupied two projects. The first one was the Outstanding Youth Project, which studied the probability of prime number distribution. He submitted the results of Mersenne prime numbers and Kakutani conjecture, and also included the mathematical method to complete the proof of Kakutani conjecture.
This mathematical method won the Chen Shengshen Mathematics Award and the first prize of the National Natural Science Award.
Later, Wang Hao applied for the NS equation project and is now preparing to report on NS equation problems.
Looking at the content of the projects he applied for and the completion of his research, others are even afraid to apply, and even the review experts' requirements have become higher.
Over the past two decades, the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences has also funded many top-level research.
Among them, there are several research projects related to NS equations, but others have only made small progress in research after spending several years.
This is already amazing.
Expert reviewers from the Department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences knew when reviewing project applications that only a small amount of progress could be made after several years.
If you can publish a paper in a top international journal, it will be worth hundreds of thousands or more than a million in funding.
Wang Hao is different.
His Outstanding Youth Project was started only after the year, and it took only more than two months to announce the solution to the NS equation problem.
That is not a small progress, it directly solves the problem.
Li Jianwei was watching the news on the Internet and found a discussion related to the NS equation. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you think Wang Hao has really completed the proof? I read his paper, but the logic is too complicated.
Already."
The person next to him immediately said, "It must have been completed. I also read the paper and I feel the same as you, but if you think about it, his paper is not long, it is just logically complicated, but no one has pointed out the mistakes until now."
.”
This is very convincing.
After Wang Hao announced that he had completed the NS equation problem, many scholars were studying his proof because he posted the paper on the Internet.
Until now, no mathematician has come forward to point out the error.
This shows that the paper is probably correct.
After hearing this, Li Jianwei said, "Let me tell you something interesting."
"Last time, I went to Donggang and met Academician Wei Fuquan. He was very optimistic about Wang Hao and judged that Wang Hao would be able to complete the proof of the NS equation within five years."
"As a result, I had just returned to the capital when I learned that Wang Hao had posted the paper online."
Others also said, "Academician Wei's judgment has been very accurate. The main reason is that Wang Hao completed the research too quickly."
"I feel like he is not a normal person. Geniuses are different."
"This time I am going to Donggang University to give a report. There will probably be a lot of people."
"There must be many people, many foreign scholars are interested, including some Fields winners."
"Donggang University has been really in the spotlight recently..."
The last sentence is a bit of a joke.
The situation of Donggang University is not good. Recently, they have been receiving constant negative news, mainly surrounding the dismissal of Wang Hao and the alloy laboratory.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The latter has the most negative news.
Because the Alloy Laboratory has attracted a lot of attention, news has been dug out one by one. There has been a lot of new news in the past week.
The first is that the trial against Ma Wenjun was postponed due to other project issues.
Wuhan Iron and Steel Group implicated the person responsible for the alloy laboratory project, and the supervisor of a branch was taken away for investigation.
Another steel company, Qinggang Group, stated that it would re-examine the horizontal project that funded the alloy laboratory seven years ago because the project was funded for two years and cost more than 40 million yuan, without any meaningful research and development progress.
.
etc.
Later, Donggang University announced new news that eleven persons responsible for the dismissal incident had been punished.
Two of them were fired, three were suspended for review, and the rest were given at least demerits.
The routine actions of Donggang University's Feng Lei also calmed the public opinion a little. The public acceptance of the investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission and other departments, coupled with the large-scale internal handling of those responsible, also allowed the public to see the determination to solve the problem.
Academician Lin Yuliang, president of Donggang University, also stood up for an interview. He explained the problems in the alloy laboratory and the time of dismissal.
At the end of the explanation, Wang Hao also made a formal apology on behalf of Donggang University. The gesture of apology, whether it was sincere or not, at least made people feel much more comfortable.
The political department of Donggang University is under great pressure.
When I first heard that Wang Hao had agreed to come to Donggang University to give a report, I thought it was a good thing. Producing top-level research reports would also boost Donggang University’s international reputation and influence.
As a result, a good thing turned into a bad thing.
Now that Donggang University has received international attention, it is not just domestic public opinion that is concerned about negative news, but also a lot of international attention. This means that the world has seen the problems of the school, which is a big blow to the school's international image.
In addition, they are also worried about another problem, "Wang Hao suddenly decided not to come, what should I do then?"
Wang Hao agreed to come to Donggang University to give a report, but there is no law explicitly restricting scholars from temporarily changing their report plans.
This is not protected by law.
If Wang Hao suddenly decides not to come, Donggang University's international publicity becomes a joke again, or if Wang Hao simply cooperates with other universities and decides to give lectures at other universities, the invited scholars will definitely change their schedule and go to other universities.
This is the embarrassing situation that universities may face when scholars have more influence than universities.
Scholars all over the world accepted the invitation because of Wang Hao. They came to listen to Wang Hao's report, not to do anything in particular at Donggang University.
Now the leadership of Donggang University hates Huang Yichun.
The dismissal incident is very infuriating to talk about, but in fact, it does not involve the higher leadership of Donggang University.
At that time, Wang Hao was just a newly hired doctoral student. He didn't even have the title of associate professor, and it was impossible to involve the vice president and the president. The person who decided to dismiss Wang Hao was Huang Yichun, the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
He has certain authority over personnel affairs, and Huang Yichun also leads the meeting.
Now they are even investigating whether Huang Yichun has any connection with Chen Jianlin, and they want to send Huang Yichun to prison for a few years.
Under such circumstances, Huang Yichun's life became even more difficult.
After he was fired, he didn't even dare to leave the house. Even so, some neighbors pointed at him, "Look, this is the place. The guy named Huang lives here. He was the one who expelled Wang Hao from Donggang University."
.”
"I don't know the difference between right and wrong. I have lived in vain for more than fifty years!"
"Just as a school director, he can persecute scientists like Wang Hao. If he were to be a district or county magistrate, he would definitely be a serious corrupt person..."
…
Wang Hao also pays attention to the news in public opinion. Knowing that Donggang University has apologized to him, he still feels a lot more relaxed.
For him, Donggang University has truly become a thing of the past.
He just paid attention to it and then continued to study.
He is learning.
The content of the study is to look at some advanced algebraic geometry research.
Wang Hao is very fascinated by the study of mathematical theories, or perhaps all mathematicians around the world are like this. Mathematical theories are far more interesting than applications.
Algebraic geometry is purely theoretical content.
This subject involves a lot of imaginary numbers, which makes it difficult to connect it with applications - there are no imaginary numbers in reality.
"The research on mathematical theory also has limitations." Wang Hao thought with emotion, "The biggest limitation is that there is only research but no output."
This is true of most mathematical research.
Research in many fields is more concerned with "output", so technical research can easily obtain funding, and if the research has results, you can apply for patents, or directly improve technology, while it is relatively difficult to apply for funding for theoretical research.
This is the most restrictive part, and it also causes many talented scholars to have to give up theoretical research and turn to other fields.
Algebraic geometry is one of the fields where brain drain is very serious.
Many young scholars engage in algebraic geometry research out of interest, but because the related fields are very difficult, it is very difficult to achieve results, and they have little to do with applications.
This makes it difficult for them to apply for funding, and even find a stable job to support continued research.
Wang Hao sighed and thought, and then continued to study.
Zhou Qingyuan came over. He opened the door and walked in. He asked directly, "Wang Hao, you should go to Donggang University to give your report, right?"
"What's wrong?"
Wang Hao asked with doubts.
Zhou Qingyuan sat down and said, "I heard from several people that Donggang University is worried about you suddenly changing your mind."
"That won't happen." Wang Hao shook his head and said, "It has been decided and announced. I will definitely not change my mind."
Zhou Qingyuan nodded and said, "The school has discussed it. When the time comes, I, Dean Luan, and Dean Chen will all go with you."
"Dean Chen is also going?"
Zhou Qingyuan smiled and said, "I'll give you a show no matter what. Dean Chen is still an academician no matter what."
"That's fine."
"However, you still need to adjust your mentality." Zhou Qingyuan said and suddenly became serious, "It's not just Donggang University. After this report, you will be..."
Without saying anything else, Wang Hao already understood.
With his research on "Mathematical Conversion Methods for Finding Infinite Sequences", he has been recognized as one of the world's top mathematicians.
Later, he completed the proof of Goldbach's conjecture, and now, he has solved the NS equation problem, one of the millennium mathematical problems.
When these several achievements are added together, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the world's top mathematician.
By then, the people who can compare with him can be counted on one hand.
Andrew Wiles?
Wiles proved Fermat's conjecture, and he completed Goldbach's conjecture at the same level.
Grigory Perelman?
Perelman proved the Poincaré conjecture, and he completed the NS equation problem at the same level.
It is difficult to compare other mathematicians in different fields, but there is no doubt that he has reached the highest peak of mathematical research.
Wang Hao was a little excited when he thought about it.
Some longing.
At the same time, I am looking forward to the report on NS equations.
