Chapter 227 Would you rather bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man? Wang Hao: No one
Knows how to solve equations better than me!
The atmosphere at the dinner party years ago was very good. Colleagues and friends could eat, drink, talk about school and things around them, and enjoy the lively atmosphere.
Wang Hao enjoys this kind of life very much.
He really took some time off and had a relaxing Spring Festival holiday.
After the holidays, work starts again.
With the new year and new atmosphere, Mason Tree Laboratory welcomes new people.
Tian Hong came to report early. She went through the entry procedures and came to the laboratory.
Wang Hao held a small welcome ceremony for Tian Hong and also made a formal introduction to the others.
The Mason Mathematics Laboratory is still very short of manpower. The only people who actually do mathematics work are Wang Hao, Zheng Yaojun and Lin Bohan.
Now that there is an extra Tian Hong, work will be relatively easier.
The main work of the laboratory is projects in cooperation with the space agency.
This project involves a lot of complex calculations, which cannot be completed by Wang Hao alone.
At present, the main leaders are Wang Hao and Zheng Yaojun. Several old professors from the School of Science have also joined the project, especially when it involves the calculation of differential equations. They can help share a lot of the workload.
Tian Hong is an expert in geometry, she has no problem doing calculations, and her level is still very high. She can serve as the main force together with Zheng Yaojun.
On the day Tian Hong joined the company, Wang Hao told her about the project, "Our project is in cooperation with the space agency, so there is no need to worry about funding. It just involves a lot of calculations."
"We completed the core calculations together. You can talk more with Professor Zheng Yaojun, he knows the project very well."
Wang Hao gave a brief introduction.
Tian Hong listened attentively and felt that she had come to the wrong place. Similar large-scale mathematics projects are extremely rare, and it is not easy to participate in them.
This kind of project is not something ordinary organizations dare to take on, even if they have the ability, mainly because they are not trusted.
Wang Hao is different.
He is the kind of scholar who is trusted enough to receive such a big project.
With the foundation of this multi-million dollar project, there is no need to worry about the minimum funding issue.
In fact, this is the smallest project in Wang Hao's hands. He is considering asking Tian Hong to join the research on semi-topology in the future, but it is still too early and Tian Hong needs to get used to it for a while.
After Tian Hong officially joined the company, another piece of good news soon came: the semi-topological structure research project was approved.
Because it involves a key project, and it is a project that must be approved, the Science Foundation will transfer the funds after the application is approved.
Wang Hao immediately decided to give out bonuses first, giving 200,000 yuan to both Lin Bohan and Bill Carr.
This is the upfront bonus.
Many projects provide bonuses first after funds are allocated, with the purpose of encouraging researchers to continue their efforts.
Scientific researchers also have to make a living, and bonuses are one of their additional incomes, and they are a very important one.
Once the funds are in place, research will naturally begin.
However, the research on semi-topological structures has not yet achieved a breakthrough in ideas. Wang Hao was not in a hurry. He started another study, which was the Yang-Mills equation.
New research still has to start with learning.
Wang Hao found a large amount of paper information, all of which included research on the Yang-Mills equation, including research by several Nobel Prize winners in physics and Fields winners.
Each of these studies will take a long time to understand.
He was not in a hurry, he just looked at it patiently. Learning is also a process of laying the foundation, and laying the foundation can also increase the inspiration value.
In one month, the inspiration value of task one increased by 5 points.
Compared with the research tasks of S+ level difficulty, just studying can increase 5 points, and the growth rate is already very fast.
Wang Hao also felt a little surprised, because when he studied the NS equation, there was no such growth rate.
When there was no idea at that time, there was almost no increase at all.
"Is it because the Yang-Mills equation is easier?"
"impossible!"
"Maybe, it's just that the first small study is easier?"
Wang Hao is a little confused, but the rapid growth of inspiration value is always good news.
In the process of continuous learning and laying the foundation, Wang Hao also cares about the research progress of his students.
Mainly Qiu Hui'an.
Qiu Hui'an's research on Legendre's conjecture is still stuck in the last step. He is planning to use a functional analysis method to solve the final problem.
"The functional analysis method is relatively complicated, but I think it is possible to solve this problem." Wang Hao commented. He found that Qiu Hui'an was still greatly influenced by him.
Probably because I have studied a lot of his results, my ideas have been affected to a certain extent.
Mathematical analysis can do many things, but some mathematical research work does not require the use of mathematical analysis methods.
Most conjectures in the field of number theory do not require mathematical analysis.
It's good for students to have their own ideas, and Wang Hao will not limit their imagination and let them use their freedom to solve problems, which is the best help.
At the same time, Wang Hao also thought of other people's problems.
Several other students do not have a good direction. They just follow the laboratory to work on projects and do the calculation work on the side of the project.
This kind of work will definitely produce results. There will be no problem in writing a master's thesis based on the work content.
Wang Hao just felt that it was not innovative and felt like a mixed paper.
If he were to follow up with a paper, he felt that Helen's paper would stand out because Helen is a very smart student and can complete a lot of calculation work.
Xu Jie and Chen Mengmeng are relatively inferior.
As for Ding Zhiqiang, he is still in his first year as a graduate student and is in the stage of learning and accumulation, and has not yet reached this point.
So Wang Hao found a few students and said, "I have a research project in hand now. If you don't know what to do with your master's thesis, you can research it with me."
"In this direction, as long as you have a little personal opinion, it is very easy to write a paper. If you can achieve some small results, there is no problem in publishing it in a top international journal."
Several students were stunned.
Xu Jie immediately asked happily, "Teacher Wang, I want to do research with you."
Helen also nodded and said, "I can do it too. I don't think this job makes any sense right now."
Chen Mengmeng asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what research are you doing?"
"Yang-Mills Theory."
Xu Jie obediently shut his mouth.
Chen Mengmeng was a little confused when he heard this, and his expression suddenly turned into uncertainty.
Helen's face was full of expectations. She hoped to engage in a large-scale research, and the Yang-Mills theory met the requirements very well.
At this time, Ding Zhiqiang walked to the door. He raised his feet and was about to walk in when he heard Wang Hao talking about his research.
Wang Hao glanced at Ding Zhiqiang and suddenly had a good idea, "Ding Zhiqiang, you came at the right time. I was just thinking that you should also participate. Not to mention researching something, it is also good to gain knowledge."
Ding Zhiqiang's movements stopped. He looked down at his right foot, wondering if he could take it back?
Can time go back?
Yang-Mills theory, he can't even understand the Yang-Mills equation, so what theory is he studying?
…
The mood of several students that day was very complicated. They really did not expect that Wang Hao would let them participate in such an important research.
Yang-Mills theory.
If you were an undergraduate student, you would definitely be very excited to think about participating in such a major research.
Now after more than a year of study, people like Xu Jie and Chen Mengmeng have recognized the fact. They may be smarter than ordinary people, but every mountain is higher than the other. Compared with Helen and Qiu Hui'an, there is
There is an obvious difference.
Yang-Mills theory is almost at the top of mathematics and belongs to the kind of field that only geniuses can get involved in.
Ordinary people can't achieve results even if they spend a lifetime studying.
They are just ordinary people.
Xu Jie thought so. He lay in bed thinking about it at night and couldn't help but send a message to the university group, "You all know that my graduate interview is to solve NS equations, right?"
"You will never imagine what research I am preparing to do now."
"What?"
"talk?"
"I don't want to guess..."
After a year, the university group has obviously become much quieter, with only two or three replies at night.
Xu Jie typed a few words, "Yang-Mills theory."
"..."
"..."
"Xu Jie, if you can achieve results in this research, I will eat shit..."
Xu Jie knew at a glance that he was a shitty brother in the same dormitory. It was impossible for other classmates to talk like this. He was still provoked and quickly said, "Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in the west of Hexi!"
"It's better to bully a white-bearded man than a poor young man!"
"No one in life can predict the future. Young people have their own ambitions!"
"I am born to be useful, and even if I am defeated, I have to be a hero..."
The buddy in the same dormitory immediately interrupted and asked, "What on earth are you going to say?"
"What am I going to do? Sleep!"
Xu Jie himself felt very discouraged. He worked hard for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to say that he could achieve results.
…
In fact, Xu Jie was thinking a little too much.
It is impossible for Wang Hao to ask students to study with him, because the students do not even have basic knowledge and cannot understand more complex ones.
He just explains to the students.
Whenever he reads something, he tells it to the students so that they can understand the content.
Taking your time step by step in this way is also a kind of accumulation of knowledge.
If it continues for a few months, they will have an understanding of the entire theory. At that time, they can study together, or choose a direction to conduct research on their own.
For a top-level research, just a small result is enough to publish a top-level paper.
It must be quite remarkable if a master's thesis can be published in a top journal.
at the same time.
Wang Hao himself is also constantly thinking. He is not only learning and accumulating, but also looking for research directions. He mainly wants to combine the Yang-Mills equation to study the annihilation force.
However, I couldn't find my direction in a short period of time and didn't know how to start.
What is needed now is a breakthrough.
When Wang Hao was explaining it to the students, he also said straightforwardly, "I can't find the direction now. The structure of this theory is very complex. The equation itself is no worse than the NS equation, and it is not easy to analyze."
"The most important thing is that each step of analysis needs to be understood in conjunction with the content of particle physics, and some other theories must also be studied..."
Putting these complex contents together, it feels like you are losing your way.
Yang-Mills theory is not a simple study, let alone a simple study of an equation, but a synthesis of many contents of particle physics.
Wang Hao asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
He just wants to let students use their imagination to think from a teaching perspective.
Helen said, "Can we start with the latest discoveries, such as the Higgs boson? Cutting-edge research may bring new inspiration."
"Maybe." Wang Hao nodded.
Xu Jie said, "How about synthesizing the research that has been completed?"
Wang Hao twitched his lips and said, "Why does it feel like making up a thesis? You can't do that."
Chen Mengmeng said, "You don't have to look at other people's research, otherwise your ideas will be affected. It's better to take your time. Teacher Wang, this kind of research idea cannot be thought of all at once."
Everyone made a suggestion, and finally it was Ding Zhiqiang's turn.
Ding Zhiqiang didn't know what to say. He lowered his head and looked at the Yang-Mills equation on the paper and the explanations of some parameters. He hesitated and said, "Teacher Wang, how about trying to solve this equation?"
"Huh~~"
Xu Jie took a long breath and finally had a suggestion that was worse than his own.
Yang-Mills equation?
Need a solution?
What a joke!
If this equation could be solved directly, other mathematicians would have done it long ago. It is simply impossible to study only the equation itself.
Wang Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The system also has a prompt, [Task 1, inspiration value +2.]
very good!
Wang Hao looked at Ding Zhiqiang with admiration and gave a thumbs up, "Ding Zhiqiang, you are indeed a genius!"
"——?"
Ding Zhiqiang was confused, and others also didn't understand.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, endured his excitement and explained, "Ding Zhiqiang reminded me just now that it is not necessary to study the entire theory. It is too complicated."
"I need to find an entry point now, and the equation itself is the entry point!"
He figured it out.
Yang-Mills theory involves too much content. The quantum physics system is extensive and profound, and the standard model of particles is built on the basis of Yang-Mills theory.
Finding a starting point from the quantum physics system is too complicated.
His specialty is partial differential equations, especially the solution of partial differential equations. He has studied the solutions and properties of many kinds of partial differential equations, and also completed research on NS equations.
The Yang-Mills equation, regardless of its physical meaning, is just a nonlinear partial differential equation.
If we only talk about the understanding of partial differential equations, is there anyone in the world who is better than him?
He can put aside complicated quantum physics problems and directly treat the Yang-Mills equation as an ordinary nonlinear partial differential equation and analyze it with purely mathematical methods.
This is much simpler.
Although the research may not necessarily yield results, because every parameter of the equation is linked to quantum physics, the results obtained by simply analyzing the equation itself can also be used to analyze the physical properties.
Wang Hao thought secretly, "No wonder it's really a good direction to directly increase two points of inspiration!"
