"Mr. Zheng, I am applying for exemption not to skip classes and have fun, but to use this time to learn more knowledge. Also, I want to do a project with Teacher Hai." Gao Fan explained with a sad face.
"What project are you doing with Teacher Hai?" Yang Kai asked.
Gao Fan took out the paper that he had read to Hai Qingwen from his schoolbag, handed it to Yang Kai, and said: "When I was at home, I helped my father's factory conduct scientific research on rare earth catalysts. Teacher Hai thinks that I
The research is interesting and encourages me to continue doing it.”
"Rare earth catalysts? It's a very interesting topic." Yang Kai took the paper and looked through it, seeming quite interested.
"The school stipulates that you can only apply for exemption in the first week, and it's already the second week, so even if you pass Teacher Yang's assessment, I can't approve your exemption," Zheng Xiuhua said.
"Ah this..., then I..."
Gao Fan didn't know what to say. I took off my socks and you said the water was too cold. Are you and Yang Kai kidding me?
What Zheng Xiuhua wanted was Gao Fan's reaction. She waited for half a minute before she said leisurely:
"Now that Xiao Yang has passed you, I confirm that you have such ability. I can say hello to the teacher, and you don't have to go to class every day, and you don't have to do homework. However, you have to take the final exam.
"If you fail the final exam, you have failed and you will have to take a make-up exam, and no matter how high your score is in the make-up exam, it will only be recorded as 60 points."
So that’s it…
Actually, think about it, the school stipulates that the first week is the time for the exemption examination. He missed the time and no one gave him the exemption examination paper. How could Zheng Xiuhua let him pass?
The current method allows him not to attend classes, but he needs to take the final exam, which is the unity of principle and flexibility. Zheng Xiuhua is worthy of being an old man who has been in teaching for more than 20 years, and he is quite accurate in this measure.
Gao Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he knew a little more about Zheng Xiuhua's evil intentions. This old lady is really bad. She obviously has a solution, but she insists on whetting her own appetite. What a waste of character!
"Thank you Teacher Zheng, ah no, thank you Sister Zheng."
Gao Fan quickly thanked him. Zheng Xiuhua was showing mercy outside the law. It would be unreasonable for him not to express his gratitude.
Zheng Xiuhua put on a straight face again, told Gao Fan to study hard, and then went back to her office. When she went out, Yang Kai was still reading Gao Fan's paper. When Gao Fan sent Zheng Xiuhua out, she went back to her office.
After returning, Yang Kai raised his head, frowned and said to Gao Fan:
"Gao Fan, in your paper, the ratio of rare earths is completely fabricated and not calculated."
"High! Senior brother is really high!" Gao Fan gave Yang Kai a thumbs up and said, "This is indeed a flaw in this paper. However, to calculate an optimal ratio, the model is too complicated.
, the amount of calculation is also too large, and it is not something we can complete.”
"Your topic is very interesting." Yang Kai said, "In fact, rare earth catalysts can be used not only in the synthesis of ammonia, but also in petrochemical industry, such as the synthesis of ethylene, butadiene, butadiene rubber, etc.
Get on.
"If you can solve calculation problems, it is equivalent to providing a common calculation method for various industries. This is of great value."
"That's what I say, but..."
Gao Fan scratched his scalp, not knowing what to say.
Gao Fan certainly knew that the calculation of rare earth ratios was an important issue. In later generations, there were special calculation programs to solve such problems. Researchers only needed to come up with models, and all calculations could be left to the software.
But now, Gao Fan can neither find a ready-made program nor a computer, so he can't be allowed to calculate differential equations manually, right?
It is true that he is proficient in mathematical analysis, but the differential equations in chemical processes are not the ones in textbooks. The process of solving equations is extremely satisfying. He does not think that his youth should be dedicated to these equations.
"If you are not familiar with computational models, I can help you calculate it." Yang Kai said, "I am quite interested in this project. If it is done well, it may produce some very good results."
"I can also do modeling, but calculations are too troublesome unless you have a computer," Gao Fan said.
Yang Kai nodded and said: "Indeed, to solve this kind of problem, you must have a computer. The computer room of the school is very nervous. I will apply for it and see if I can apply for a few hours. We have written the program in advance.
, then you can just enter it and forget it.”
"Is it difficult to apply for a job?" Gao Fan asked.
Yang Kai said: "It is very difficult. The school only has a 4341 medium-sized computer with 40 terminals, which is used by all departments, especially the physics department, which has cutting-edge national defense projects and must be prioritized.
"Our Chemistry Department has never had much need for computers, so the computer time allocated to us is very small. If you want to apply for additional computer time, you have to queue up."
"Is that so?"
Gao Fan thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine. Otherwise, senior brother, I will leave this paper with you for now, and you can see how to solve the calculation problem. At that time, this paper will be considered a collaboration between the two of us.
Yes, you are considered the first author and I am the second author."
"That's not necessary." Yang Kai waved his hand, "The main contribution of this paper is yours, and of course you are the first author. I thought about it, maybe starting from your paper, I can propose a calculation model of the catalyst and write it separately.
I will give you a second author on a paper, what do you think?"
"Of course I have no objection." Gao Fan said with a smile.
Gao Fan actually really doesn't care about things like signing papers. If he wants to be famous, plagiarize a few discoveries of later generations, write a few articles and submit them to science, he will definitely be able to publish them. By then, he will be a member of a certain field in the international chemistry community.
Now that Taishan and Beidou are here, do we still need to worry about whose name is signed for an article about rare earth catalysts?
According to the Basic Law of Time Travel, time travelers should keep a low profile, and Gao Fan would not make such a mistake.
"Then you will come to work in the data room tomorrow?" Yang Kai said.
"Huh?" Gao Fan was a little confused.
Yang Kai smiled and said: "Hasn't Grandma Zheng already agreed that you don't have to go to class? Why else would you go to class? Why not go to the reference room to look at the information? We have some chemical engineering information here that are not even available in the school library.
.
"I think you are quite talented in scientific research. If you read more information, you might have some good ideas. We can also discuss a few weighty articles."
"Okay, I'll do as my senior brother said." Gao Fan said, "However, we can't do it tomorrow. The engineer from our factory who I just mentioned who mentored me is now in Beijing, and I want to go see her."
