Chapter 212 Basic research, evaluation of academicians? Xu Jie is full of grief and anger
:I don’t understand!
There are four basic forces in physics, namely gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.
The electromagnetic force is the second most powerful force after the strong nuclear force.
The four major forces of physics have been explained in great detail, but basic physics is still being studied continuously, and some very important experiments will be conducted in order to achieve the unification of the four major forces.
This is the ultimate goal of physical research.
Any new and logical explanation of the four powerful forces can be said to be a very amazing result, because the research will bring understanding from different perspectives and help the scientific community expand the direction of research and development and thinking.
However, the more basic the research, the more difficult it is.
Regarding the basic explanation of electromagnetic force, there have been no impressive results in recent decades.
In addition, there are very few theoretical physicists who will study and explain the most basic forces. They prefer to improve the standard model of particles, understand the basic composition of the universe, and analyze black holes, big bangs, antimatter, dark matter, etc.
This may also have something to do with difficulty.
Each basic force has been explained in detail, and it is very, very difficult to understand it from other perspectives.
The same is true for electromagnetic force.
When they heard that Wang Hao said that he would use new geometry to explain electromagnetic force, many people at the report meeting were surprised and started discussing, "Use a completely new method to explain electromagnetic force? How is this possible?"
"Isn't this kind of research too difficult?"
"It's a bit ridiculous..."
"I can't figure out why the new geometry he mentioned can be connected with electromagnetic force?"
"Is it condensed matter physics?"
Someone soon figured out the key.
The top international scholars are all very capable. Even if they are doing mathematics-related research, they must have some exposure to basic physics.
If geometric problems can be linked to basic mechanics, the most likely field is condensed matter physics. At the same time, many people are also concerned about Wang Hao's "research on physical problems."
This is the key.
In the eyes of the international mathematics community, Wang Hao is the future of basic mathematics. They still expect him to be successful in other researches. Why did he suddenly study physics problems?
Although it still uses mathematical methods, it is still unacceptable no matter how you think about it.
"Why did Wang Hao study physics?"
"Mathematics is the most important thing about electromagnetic force and the four major forces. Only with mathematics can we have physics. Even Einstein had to use Riemannian geometry as the basis to construct his general theory of relativity!"
"Don't study physics!"
"Pure mathematics is what matters..."
Regarding the discussion at the report meeting, Wang Hao could not hear it. He just answered a question and then chose to disconnect because he was just giving a work report and talking about his research work and some progress.
He couldn't wait to count the harvest.
【Task 1】
[Research Project Name: Research on the Internal Micromorphology of Conductors (Difficulty: S).]
[Inspiration value: 77.]
"fine!"
The increase in inspiration value is not as much as expected, only about fifty points, but it is also expected.
Wang Hao is still looking forward to the report, mainly because there will be a lot of people listening to the report. He reports through video communication and there is also a live broadcast on the Internet.
Others can view the report content through live webcast.
There was some media promotion before, and the number of domestic viewers exceeded 500,000. However, the number of people later became smaller and smaller, because it was impossible for ordinary people to understand it.
But even if there are only 10,000 people, it cannot be compared in the classroom.
It's a pity that the inspiration value did not increase explosively. The improvement of nearly fifty points in twenty minutes is also very good, but it is nothing compared to the number of people.
"Similar research can hardly bring inspiration to ordinary people."
"Being able to understand is the basic threshold, but most of them can't understand, so live broadcasts for ordinary people are meaningless."
This is a pity.
Wang Hao is still thinking about another problem, "Recording videos will not be effective because the feedback of inspiration is instant."
"However, live broadcasts will also have the problem of signal delay, so will some people not provide timely feedback because of the signal delay?"
"Maybe it's because the distance is too far, but how does the inspiration reach your mind?"
"..."
When I think deeply about the problems related to the system, I find that it cannot be explained by existing science at all. This is probably because the system itself is 'unscientific', or it is far beyond the current scientific level, and it is just a judgment in the right direction.
Functions cannot be created by programs.
"Maybe it's not a one-dimensional thing?" Wang Hao finally shook his head. At least at his current level, it is impossible to understand the system.
He still focused on research.
A report meeting gave him a lot of inspiration, which also gave him confidence in his research, and he felt that he could complete it if he took further steps.
Electromagnetic force, in a broad sense, covers a wide range, such as push force, pull force, supporting force, elastic force, friction force, etc.
These forces seem to have nothing to do with electromagnetic force, but in fact, they all belong to electromagnetic force.
Electromagnetic force describes the repulsion and attraction between molecules and atoms. When objects come into contact with each other, the repulsion and attraction between atoms take the dominant position, forming a series of forces including push, pull, support, etc.
However, the research on electromagnetic force is in the "narrow sense direction", which is the direction that ordinary people conventionally understand, including electric field, magnetic field, electrostatic force, etc.
Wang Hao's research cannot cover a large range yet. For the time being, he is only studying the energized state and internal microscopic morphology of the conductor, in order to provide a new explanation for the force exerted by the magnetic field.
A current-carrying conductor will experience a force in a magnetic field; at the same time, a conductor moving in a magnetic field will generate an electric potential.
This is the knowledge of electromagnetic field force in high school physics.
Most of the current basic explanations are directly related to the movement of electrons, but in fact, it is not just electrons that participate in the reaction, because compared to the nucleus, the mass of electrons is negligible, and no matter how large the force is, it is impossible to drive the movement of the conductor.
Produce macroscopic mechanical reactions.
The process of a conductor receiving force must be the participation of atomic nuclei and its underlying basis is still the interaction between atoms.
Just like ordinary thrust, only atoms interacting with each other can produce such an obvious force.
Wang Hao's research uses the microscopic morphology within conductors to explain the interaction of current and magnetic fields.
It's all based on mathematics.
…
At the International Congress of Mathematicians, Wang Hao only gave a 20-minute work report, talking about his research content and some progress, but the impact was still great, and many people knew the news.
Among them is Wang Chenglin, chief researcher of the Basic Science Center of Capital University.
Wang Chenglin read all the reports and combined with his team's research came to a conclusion, "Wang Hao's path has gone astray."
He knows more than others.
He knew very well that Wang Hao's research was based on the AC gravity experiment, so the so-called new geometry must be directly related to the experiment.
"How can the AC gravity experiment be related to the explanation of electromagnetic force?" Wang Chenglin couldn't figure it out at all. He thought about it carefully and thought that Wang Hao still regarded the AC gravity field as a field directly related to the magnetic field and the electric field.
Only in this way can the two be linked together.
However, it is obviously not feasible to try to understand the AC gravity field using the existing basic physics.
The reason why Wang Chenglin is so confident is that their research has made progress, which can even be described as remarkable.
By analyzing the experimental data, they established a complete mathematical model, using the AC gravity field as the standard to study the relationship between temperature and materials. The next step can be to analyze which material is more likely to stimulate the superconducting state.
It is easier, that is, the excitation temperature is higher.
The goal of this research is to use mathematical analysis to try to study new high-temperature superconducting materials, and even make 'predictions' to a certain extent.
He invited four mathematical experts to specialize in related mathematical work, and the mathematical model they established was very complete.
At the same time, the work results were also recognized by the researchers of Factory 244.
In the office.
Wang Chenglin was talking to Wang Qiang, "With our current achievements, we can apply for new projects."
"We are doing research on the mechanism of superconductivity. The main purpose is to study new high-temperature superconducting materials. However, we are also doing AC gravity experiments. Our research project will also share the data with Factory 244."
"I believe it will also be helpful to your research."
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "Your research is indeed very high-level. It is really helpful for us to refer to your data. I personally hope that you can continue."
If you continue, you must apply for new projects, otherwise there will not be enough financial support.
Wang Qiang said politely, but he still felt puzzled.
He had been at the Basic Science Center, but he heard that Liu Yunli, Ruan Weiping and Xue Chang had applied for a project transfer together, and he had no idea what was going on.
He couldn't help but think, "It seems like I still have to go back. I haven't heard anything about it all this time."
"Liu Yunli couldn't explain clearly on the phone."
"Isn't it more meaningful to study annihilation and topological superconductivity at Sokai University than to analyze and develop high-temperature superconducting materials?"
…
Sokai University, Physics Laboratory.
After the last verification experiment, the laboratory did not prepare new experiments, mainly because Wang Hao still wanted to continue research in order to determine the next experimental direction.
Plus, they need to wait for new equipment.
Nowadays, the requirements for experiments are getting higher and higher. When verifying some low-temperature superconducting problems, the accuracy of the equipment level is obviously not enough.
Last time I suggested to Qian Sheng to purchase a set of temperature control equipment with higher accuracy.
Wang Hao thought about it and agreed.
After continuing to conduct in-depth research, he was certain that future experiments would require increasingly higher equipment accuracy, and very high-end equipment would have to be purchased.
They directly contacted the Key Laboratory of Superconductivity.
The Key Laboratory of Superconductivity has a set of high-precision temperature control equipment. The price negotiation was left to Xiang Gansheng. He used to work in the Superconducting Laboratory and was very familiar with the equipment in the laboratory, especially the internal equipment.
large equipment.
The price finally negotiated was 32 million. Just like what Xiang Qiansheng said, it was only 30 million. The Superconducting Laboratory would definitely not be willing to sell the equipment.
The reason why we can talk about 32 million now is because of Wang Hao and Xiang Qiansheng's 'face'.
The two parties discussed the issue of new equipment, but it still takes a lot of time to disassemble, assemble, and transport the new equipment from the superconducting experiment to installation and debugging here.
This is not a computer, but a large piece of equipment. It just needs to be disassembled, transported, and installed. It is impossible to do it in less than a month.
Subsequent debugging is required before it can be applied to experiments requiring high precision.
"The minimum estimate is more than two months." Xiang Qiansheng told the time.
This speed is already very fast.
If you are purchasing a brand new piece of equipment, not to mention the high price, from ordering, production to transportation and debugging, it only takes one year.
This is true for high-precision equipment in laboratories, because there are very few manufacturers of similar equipment, and one will be produced only after ordering one. There is no point in producing in advance.
This is also because the needs of each buyer are different, and it is impossible to sell high-end equipment produced in a standardized manner.
After ordering new equipment, the physics laboratory was almost running out of funds.
Wang Hao also asked He Yi, Xiang Qiansheng and others to summarize the experimental results and apply for new funds from the Science Foundation. They have already achieved two major results.
One is to increase the value of the AC gravity field to above 17%.
One is the discovery of the AC gravity field in the unactivated superconducting state.
The former is a huge improvement in technology, and the latter is a new discovery in gravity-related research. It can be explained with just one result. There is definitely no problem in applying for new funding by adding the two results together. The only difference lies in the amount of funding allocated in the next step.
The time has come before the start of the semester.
Wang Hao's professional title is still a second-level professor and has not been promoted to a second level. Under normal circumstances, the professor's rating requires comprehensive consideration of teaching and scientific research.
Professor, after all, is a teaching title, and his teaching years are still too short.
Related to scientific research is ‘scientific research rating’.
Luan Haiping approached Wang Hao and asked about this matter, "Do you want to run for election as an academician of the Academy of Sciences next year?"
"Running for election as academician?"
"That's right." Luan Haiping said, "There are only four academicians in our school. Mr. Li has retired. Mr. Chen needs no introduction. The remaining two are engineering academicians of the School of Geology. The school also supports your participation in the co-optation of academicians. .”
"I'm only 26 years old, isn't it a bit early?"
"It is late!"
Luan Haiping immediately shook his head, "In the selection of academicians, at least in principle, we hope to select some younger scholars. Is there anyone else who can compare with your achievements in mathematics?"
"If you can be elected as an academician next year, our School of Science will have an academician in charge, and our future development will be better."
"The school has already discussed this aspect and will definitely support it fully."
"Uh~~"
Wang Hao thought about it carefully and realized that it was really not harmful to him to be elected as an academician. "Okay, but for the co-optation of academicians, does it require someone to recommend it?"
Luan Haiping laughed when he heard this, "Are you still worried that no one will recommend you? Just put your name in and a lot of mathematicians will recommend you."
"If you participate in the co-election of academicians, more than 90% of them will be selected."
"Don't worry about that."
Wang Hao was not worried about not being selected. He just felt that he was far away from the academicians, because when talking about academicians of the Academy of Sciences, he couldn't help but think of old figures in his mind.
Even the scholars participating in the co-election of academicians feel that they are already fifty years old.
He and Luan Haiping continued to talk for a few words, but they didn't take it to heart. After all, it was next year.
There are still many things to deal with in the new semester.
The first thing he did was bring along an extra graduate student—Ding Zhiqiang.
Ding Zhiqiang was the student named by Wang Hao. Even though he had no more graduate students, the school still allowed him to be his tutor as a special exception, and no one else would say anything.
After confirming that Ding Zhiqiang would become his student, Wang Hao still had some expectations.
Even for his own students, he still has a psychological ranking. For example, he thinks the most genius is Qiu Hui'an, because Qiu Hui'an is conducting research on Legendre's conjecture and has made considerable progress.
Among them, the one with the highest IQ is of course Helen.
Chen Mengmeng also has a certain amount of talent. She may have more ideas. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
Xu Jie has the worst talent, and he is pretty good at dealing with people. He is the kind of student whose tutors like to be able to get things done. Of course, the difference in talent is only relative. After all, he is a normal student who has been admitted to a prestigious school, so the difference will not be much different.
Now there is another Ding Zhiqiang among the students in the Department of Mathematics.
Wang Hao believes that Ding Zhiqiang has a strong learning ability and is a very hard-working student. He taught himself a lot of mathematics during his undergraduate studies.
"He is probably one of those students who chose the wrong major and only started to work hard in college."
When Wang Hao and Lin Bohan were doing research together, they talked about Ding Zhiqiang, who was about to report.
There was Chen Mengmeng listening next to him.
Chen Mengmeng told the news to others, and several other students also knew that a junior student whom Wang Hao was very optimistic about was about to join their 'organization'.
"This junior is so favored by Teacher Wang, he must be a very talented person!" Chen Mengmeng sighed. She felt that she was already very good, but she had never received such praise from Wang Hao.
"When the time comes, shall we test him?" Qiu Hui'an made a small suggestion.
"Teacher Wang said that he is very talented and must be very smart. Ordinary questions are not difficult at all." Xu Jie frowned and said, "But if the content exceeds the outline, it feels a bit bullying."
"I have an idea." Helen, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly said.
The three of them looked over together.
Helen said, "A person with a high IQ will often have a strong memory and learning ability. We can find some extra-curricular content and let him learn by himself."
"By measuring his study time, testing his understanding, and keeping detailed records, we can judge his genius level to a certain extent, and even infer his IQ level."
"This could also be considered an experiment."
Helen finished speaking very seriously.
Both Qiu Hui'an and Chen Mengmeng found Helen's proposal very interesting.
Do you want to do an IQ test on your junior students?
It sounds very interesting, but of course the premise is not to be discovered by the junior students, otherwise it will be a bit too embarrassing.
Xu Jie was stunned for a moment. He recalled it carefully, and then he suddenly realized it and pointed at Helen angrily, "So that's it!"
"Helen, last year you found a research paper on algebraic geometry and asked me to understand the content myself. You also said it was a learning task assigned by Teacher Wang."
"Later I asked other people and they found that this had not happened at all. I originally thought you had made a mistake..."
"So you are using me for experiments!"
Xu Jie gritted his teeth and shouted, his heart filled with grief and hysteria. He felt like he had become a gorilla. The key point was that he was 'experimented' without knowing it.
Helen picked up a book and rushed out of the room quickly, leaving behind, "I'm going to have lunch."
"It's only ten o'clock!"
Xu Jie quickly exposed Helen's lies.
Chen Mengmeng and Qiu Hui'an asked curiously, "What's the result? Has it been tested?"
Xu Jie held back a sentence with grief and anger, "I don't understand..."
