From university lecturer to chief academician Chapter 263: Insufficient authority? The leadership team inspects, and there is only the last hurdle left to become an academician!
Chapter 263: Insufficient authority? The leadership team inspects, and there is only the last hurdle left to become an academician!
Du Kai feels that Wang Hao’s application has little hope, mainly because the funds involved are too huge, and even if the application is approved, it will definitely take a long time.
But because it was Wang Hao’s research needs, he still agreed to apply together.
What he didn't expect at all was that he was directly bypassed, and the Antigravity Behavior Research Center submitted an application to the superior department alone.
It was precisely because he couldn't wait for any news that he went to ask specifically, only to hear that a report had been made.
"You don't need me anymore?"
"Bypass me, apply directly..." Du Kai didn't even know how to react.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be very angry if other research groups did this, because part of the superconducting materials experimental group belongs to the Superconducting Materials Industrial Company. Before the company officially operates, it is also his responsibility to supervise and review the funds of the experimental group.
within the range.
But if it were Wang Hao, the Antigravity Behavior Research Center would be different.
The Antigravity Behavior Research Center is a scientific research institution directly under the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Department, and Wang Hao is beyond his reach. He can only talk to Deng Huanshan with depression.
Deng Huanshan explained very straightforwardly, "Professor Wang didn't get rid of you on purpose, it's because you don't have enough authority."
"Insufficient permissions?"
"Yes." Deng Huanshan said, "My authority is not enough. Research on anti-gravity is confidential, and the job of our materials team is to cooperate. We will prepare whatever materials Professor Wang says are needed."
"The same goes for new companies. They have no authority to get involved in anti-gravity research. If your name is signed on the application report, doesn't that mean you know the content?"
"Professor Wang is also doing it for your own good..."
As soon as Deng Huanshan explained it carefully, Du Kai's mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
Indeed!
Although Wang Hao came to him to apply for funds and use the company's equipment to prepare materials, he did not say anything about the results of anti-gravity research.
If you are making a report to your superiors, you will definitely explain the research results.
That is confidential.
His level and position are not high enough to know the results of major secrets.
"However, no matter how important the results are, it is impossible to apply for so much funding for an experiment, right?" Du Kai shook his head in thought.
at the same time.
The Science and Technology Department and the Bureau of Science and Industry have received the application report from the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, and the Science and Technology Department immediately took the lead in convening an internal meeting.
Everyone who attended the meeting was amazed by the new results.
"A field strength of more than 80%? And it is horizontal. The field acting on the device itself can reduce the gravity by more than 80%."
"With this technology, can't we just make the equipment fly?"
"That shouldn't be possible for the time being, but it is true that we have the key technology. The application prospects of this technology are too wide, especially in the aerospace field."
"That's true..."
"The research is of great significance. The critical temperature of CA005 is 93K, and the usage loss is not high, which is enough to put anti-gravity technology into application."
Everyone who attended knew the significance.
The meeting also quickly decided to fully support the work of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center. "Whether it is the superconducting material experimental group or a new material company, as long as it can provide resources, we will fully cooperate!"
"The same applies to other departments, they must provide sufficient support!"
"This is the most important research."
"If we advance hand in hand in the two directions of superconducting materials and anti-gravity, we will be able to put them into applications faster in the future..."
The meeting not only made a decision of full support, but also decided to set up a leadership group and go to Xihai University to see with their own eyes the progress of anti-gravity research.
This time Xu Baogong from the Bureau of Science and Industry became the leader of the leadership group.
........
Du Kai is inspecting the location of the new company.
Superconducting Materials Industries is centered around two key materials CMO0
1 and CMO02 were established and built. His job is to quickly establish the company and achieve mass production of the two new materials.
The materials company has attracted worldwide attention, and Du Kai is naturally under great pressure.
He runs around every day, processing various documents, and also visits the factory construction site.
While walking on the newly built road, Du Kai received a call and learned that the Science and Technology Department had issued an official document.
He immediately went back to the office to look at the documents, only to find out that he was asked to 'cooperate fully with the work of the Antigravity Research Center at all costs'.
Du Kai was stunned when he saw the document. Of course he knew what the content represented——
Wang Hao’s application was approved.
"So much money is spent on an experiment, and a new company is asked to cooperate..."
"It passed so quickly?"
This was completely different from what Du Kai had expected. He was very shocked and a little depressed at the same time.
Because his job is to fully cooperate with the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, but he has no idea what the specific research will be, so they have become an organization that produces materials, and they still 'cooperate at all costs'.
This sounds very depressing.
But, there is no way!
Du Kai smiled bitterly, what else could he do? He could only cooperate.
.........
Wang Hao also received the news, and he immediately went to the superconducting material experimental group to learn more about the preparation process of CA005.
Du Kai also came.
Du Kai also took two experts to visit the preparation process of CA005 and discuss the preparation process.
What they need to do is mechanize some of these steps, or simply hand them over to other agencies.
This is preparation for mass production.
Later, more than a dozen experts participated in the discussion on CA005 manufacturing and worked together to come up with a plan.
The final plan was not very satisfactory.
Deng Huanshan said, "According to our existing equipment and personnel, combined with the entire production process, it would take at least two months to produce 10 tons of CA005."
This is already the fastest time.
Wang Hao felt very depressed when he heard the time, but it only took two months to wait for the production of materials, and it was only because his superiors allocated funds and other departments fully cooperated.
However, there is no way.
Superconducting Materials Industrial Company only introduced some basic equipment during the establishment process. It is impossible for any new material to be quickly put into mass production.
Even in the production process after discussion, some work still has to be performed in the laboratory.
"We can only wait."
Wang Hao returned to university with some depression, and then focused on studying the expression problem of "morphological gap" with Bill Carr and Lin Bohan.
This is a key part of the study of the semi-topological micromorphological structure of CA005.
Because the experiment made new discoveries, Wang Hao also gave a certain basic definition of the theoretical direction, which greatly narrowed the scope of relevant discussions.
In the process of continuous research and demonstration, they jointly determined the direction of research, and also achieved some results in constructing topological expressions of special algebraic varieties.
What they study is "special case algebraic varieties", and use this to expand to obtain more "special case algebraic varieties" problem expressions, and conduct preliminary characterization of the special properties of microscopic morphological gaps.
When you really focus on research, you will soon get some results.
Bill Carr and Lin Bohan only care about mathematical problems.
In the office.
Birkar said seriously, "Compared with the expression of algebraic variety topology problems, the expression of semi-topology is easier."
"Wang Hao, your research requirements are easier. In fact, you don't need to complete all topological expressions. Semi-topology itself is a simplification."
After hearing this, Lin Bohan suddenly said, "If we can complete a few
A problem related to a semi-topological system and algebraic geometry. Can we prove that the semi-topological systems related to it can be analyzed using algebraic means?"
This question stunned Wang Hao and Birkar.
Wang Hao asked doubtfully, "Although the semi-topological system was created by us together, its foundation is still topological theory. If it is like what you said, to a certain extent, is it equivalent to completing the 'weakened Hodge conjecture'
Proof?」
"It makes sense!"
Lin Bohan and Bill Carr's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they suddenly felt full of fighting spirit.
The difficulty of the Hodge conjecture problem is so high that it is almost impossible to complete.
If we rank the difficulty of various unsolved mathematical problems, Hodge's conjecture is even the most difficult, exceeding the NS equation, the Yang-Mills problem, and is almost equal to the NP problem.
The Hodge conjecture is not like the Goldbach conjecture, which is a direct proof problem, but a type of problem that needs to be solved. With a simple understanding, you will know what type of problem the Hodge conjecture is.
For example, a straight line in a plane coordinate system can be expressed by a simple function.
A parabolic graph can naturally be expressed, which is high school physics knowledge.
Circles, ellipses, exponential growth curves, etc. can all be expressed using specific functions.
If placed in a graph expressed by plane coordinates, the above graphs are just 'regular special cases'.
So the question arises, "Can all graphics that can be drawn with plane coordinates be written with corresponding functions or combinations of functions?"
The form of this problem is similar to the Hodge conjecture, except that the Hodge conjecture is much more complicated. It studies whether algebraic geometry can be used to express a class of topology-related problems.
Because of this, Hodge's conjecture is considered a bridge between algebraic geometry and topology.
.
Wang Hao, Lin Bohan and Bill Carr are studying the 'expression of special cases of topological problems', which is like studying the graphics of special cases in plane coordinates.
They want to use this to solve the Hodge conjecture, but it is simply impossible.
What if we simplify the problem?
The research focuses on semi-topology and algebraic geometry. It seems possible to thoroughly study a type of semi-topology problem, which to a certain extent is tantamount to solving the 'weakened Hodge conjecture'.
"This research is very important for simplifying the semi-topological micromorphological system!"
Birkar said with excitement, "This is my job."
Lin Bohan is also looking forward to it, "If it can be completed, it will definitely promote the development of superconducting theory, right?"
"Of course."
Wang Hao is also very much looking forward to it. Regardless of whether the research can be completed, it can promote the analysis of the microscopic properties of CA005."
Seeing the continuous growth of any inspiration value, he felt a little excited.
........
The research on 'weakening the Hodge conjecture' is also very difficult, and it is definitely impossible to complete it in one go.
One week later.
The leadership group headed by Xu Baogong came to Xihai University. After entering the university, they went straight to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center without any stop.
Xu Baogong was a little impatient. He was really curious and looking forward to the breakthrough in anti-gravity technology.
If it is true as stated in the report, then the research is likely to advance the application of anti-gravity technology.
I used to think that anti-gravity was a future technology that would be impossible to use in a short time, but now I feel that the application of the technology is just around the corner.
soon.
Pedestrians entered the laboratory building.
Although the name was changed to the 'Antigravity Behavior Research Center', in fact, the front of the laboratory has basically remained unchanged, only the experimental center at the back has been built.
Knowing the urgency of Xu Baogong and others, Wang Hao simply took them to the experimental center and conducted an experiment on the spot.
Nowadays experiments are relatively easy because the materials can
There will be no changes to the equipment after repeated use. It only needs to be powered on and cooled down.
The biggest difficulty before was cooling. After the superconducting critical temperature of the material increased, cooling became a minor problem. All it took was to inject liquid hydrogen into the cooling conduit and control the temperature inside the conduit.
The laboratory has been prepared for a long time.
As soon as the leadership team comes in, the experiment will be officially carried out.
soon.
The results are out.
The transverse surface of the equipment generates an AC gravity field with a strength exceeding 80%.
Although the leadership team saw the experiment with their own eyes, in fact, all they could see was the data from the detection device, and the specific situation still needed to be explained.
Wang Hao said, "We have specially placed detection devices on the lateral surfaces and edges of the conductors."
"This design is very difficult because there is basically no space in the horizontal plane, and making space may change the material layout.
"We also made targeted adjustments to the detection device before completing the design..."
Wang Hao talked about a lot of design difficulties, and then introduced the research, "The strength of the transverse AC gravity field we can create now is between 80% and 82%."
"The data is basically stable."
As he spoke, he glanced at the others and knew that everyone was concerned about the same things as himself. He shook his head and continued, "But the equipment itself and the coolant are very heavy, totaling more than three tons. Therefore, if you want the equipment to fly by itself,
Getting up... is not possible for the time being."
Although he is looking forward to building an anti-gravity aircraft, there are still many technologies to overcome. For example, the weight of the equipment itself is too high.
Including materials and attached devices, the coolant is very heavy and needs to be added continuously.
In addition, 80% is not 100%. Even if the weight is reduced by as much as four-fifths, it is impossible to automatically levitate.
Research is far from reaching the level of manufacturing flying devices.
Of course.
Because the increase in the critical temperature of superconducting has greatly reduced the cost, and the AC gravity field strength acting on the device itself exceeds 80%, there is definitely room for application of the new technology.
What Wang Hao said also made the leadership team excited. They also realized that the new technology did have application space.
No matter how narrow the application space is, the application of anti-gravity technology itself is a major breakthrough in technological development.
Wang Hao continued, "The application we made is because we are preparing to conduct a large-scale experiment that requires the use of more than eight tons of CA005."
"This experiment requires complex material layout, and the device built will be very large."
He took out a prepared design drawing, which contained several graphic designs, with a huge disk drawn at the core.
There were several weird disk shapes that made the leadership team confused.
Wang Haodao, "In fact, technology is not the key. Our purpose is to collect data through several experiments to complete the research on the semi-topological micromorphology of CA005."
"To put it simply, it is to understand the principle of CA005 material supporting the production of high-strength anti-gravity."
"As long as we can study the underlying principles, we will be able to maximize technological breakthroughs. Perhaps by then, we will be able to increase the intensity of AC gravity to 90, or even higher, and be able to freely control the field strength.
Coverage."
"Theoretical research is the most important..."
.........
Wang Hao gave a very detailed explanation of the research breakthrough.
The leadership team all understood it.
They are very much looking forward to the follow-up research and hope to see further breakthroughs in technology, so they will naturally provide absolute support for the research.
Afterwards, the leadership team prepared to leave to inspect the work of the Superconducting Materials Industrial Company.
Wang Hao and Xu Baogong walked in front together, talking again and again.
Xu Baogong
Instead of talking about the research issues, I asked, "You are going to the capital next week, right? Congratulations in advance, Academician Wang."
"Thanks."
Wang Hao smiled and said thank you.
The academician co-optation has entered the final stage. Next week will be the jury review and final selection voting meeting. As long as he can pass the voting meeting, he will officially become an academician of the Department of Mathematical Physics.
Xu Baogong continued, "When you officially become an academician, you will have to participate more in decision-making."
"Decision-making work?"
Xu Baogong nodded and said, "The Science and Technology Department, including the Science and Technology Bureau, has many important projects that need to be decided at meetings every year."
"Your opinion is very important, especially in the fields related to superconductivity. There will be a meeting on superconducting maglev trains next week, and the Science and Technology Department has approved it."
"If you have time, you can also participate when the time comes. Regarding technical issues, Wang Hao, you are more professional, and we all trust you."
"Superconducting magnetic levitation? Is it the construction project led by Academician Liao?" Wang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I will participate when the time comes."
