"Is this really a plan you designed yourself?"
April 20, 2018, Teito University, Lidar Joint Laboratory.
In the office, Pan Wenjun stared at Xu Yun with a face full of surprise. Even though he knew that the other person was a genius that was rare to see in the academic world for many years, he still couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
It's not that he doesn't believe Xu Yun, it's mainly that this crossover is too big.
If Xu Yun now said that he had proved another mathematical conjecture, his first reaction would definitely be to be happy for it.
There is no doubt whether Xu Yun has such strength.
But solid-state lidar involves multiple disciplines, none of which Xu Yun had systematically learned before.
Anyone who sees a complete solid-state lidar design will find it difficult to remain calm.
If there is only a pure laser algorithm, then forget it.
But recalling the optical phased array mentioned in the design plan and the method to solve the side lobe problem and increase the laser power, he couldn't help but get excited.
Based on his experience, he can be sure that Xu Yun did not write randomly.
The relevant methods have practical application value.
Although it is still unclear to what extent the actual test effect of the final lidar will be achieved, at least it will be more advanced and suitable than the solution they are currently studying.
It is very likely that the lidar project will be completed early.
Therefore, before officially using this plan, he must understand the situation clearly from Xu Yun.
Xu Yun stood in front of Pan Wenjun's desk. Compared to Pan Wenjun, who had difficulty controlling the expression on his face, he still looked calm and composed at this moment.
This month, he almost used up the remaining deep sleep time and finally successfully completed the design plan.
Without any hesitation, he came to Pan Wenjun with a plan.
Pan Wenjun's current performance was basically within his expectations, so he naturally didn't find anything strange.
Facing the inquiry, I organized my language a little and answered immediately: "Since joining the project team, I have been studying the textbooks and documents on the laboratory bookshelf. I came up with an idea by chance some time ago, so I tried to design this plan." When speaking, his face was on his face He always maintained a warm smile.
After hearing Xu Yun's words, Pan Wenjun really didn't know what to say.
The bookshelves in the laboratory were set up by him. The original purpose was to facilitate everyone's search for information.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun was trained.
But you can reach this level just by studying on your own and asking for a little advice.
I'm afraid it will make those students who have studied for several years feel ashamed.
Among them are Tang Kang and Qin Hangfei.
"I'm afraid your talent in learning is higher than I thought. It seems that calling you into the project team is the most correct decision I made."
A smile finally appeared on Pan Wenjun's face, and he walked to Xu Yun's side without hiding his overflowing joy.
He undoubtedly believed in Xu Yun's words. Moreover, no one else could come up with the value of this establishment plan. It could only be said that Xu Yun's talent was too terrifying.
Even brand-new knowledge can be quickly acquired and understood in a short period of time.
Coupled with unique thinking and support from other disciplines, this led to the birth of the design plan.
Pan Wenjun was even happier after confirming his doubts.
When the superiors decided to conquer lidar technology and asked him to serve as the overall project leader, the pressure he faced was unprecedented.
It needs to be completed in a faster time, and it also needs to be in an international leading position.
It's so easy to overtake in corners.
Now that Xu Yun has given him such a big surprise, if things go well, it is very likely that the project will be completed in advance.
This can be regarded as living up to the great trust of the country.
Although a teacher taking advantage of a student may appear to be a poor teacher, as long as the project is successfully completed and the technical blockade is broken, it is well worth it.
Xu Yun didn't try to guess what Pan Wenjun was thinking. He was most concerned about whether his plan could be put into effect immediately.
The requirements for advanced tasks are time-limited. If you don't invest in research quickly, you may still not get the task rewards.
His thoughts stayed here, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Academician Pan."
"I wonder if my proposal can be passed. How long will it take to change the current research direction?"
"I have read your design plan, and there are many things that I think are good."
Faced with Xu Yun's inquiry, Pan Wenjun immediately explained with a smile: "For this kind of solution that has great hope in solving the problem of solid-state lidar, it is natural to study it as early as possible." After speaking, he made a decision immediately.
"You go and tell everyone to gather in the conference room, and I will announce the change of research direction."
"Okay, Academician Pan."
Xu Yun nodded upon hearing this, then quickly turned around and walked outside.
Originally, he thought Pan Wenjun would discuss it with other professors for a few days before deciding whether to change the research direction.
I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive in this kind of matter.
Of course, this is also a good thing for him. If the plan can be put into research earlier, the completion of the project will be faster. In this way, completing advanced tasks and getting rewards will not be a problem.
…
After receiving the news, members of the project team were naturally confused about Academician Pan's sudden meeting.
I was wondering why.
After all, previous plenary meetings were devoted to discussing radar research directions.
It is now in the assault stage.
However, what was surprising was that everyone did not delay in their actions at all.
Temporarily stopping what they were doing, it didn't take long for everyone to gather in the conference room.
In addition to Pan Wenjun, there are two other professors.
"Everyone, please find a place to sit first. I'll make an announcement when I ask you to come over."
Pan Wenjun still kept a smile on his face. When he saw everyone coming, he quickly asked everyone to sit down.
The conference room of the joint laboratory is different from that of the company. It does not have the luxury of a long conference table.
Like Tang Kang and Qin Hangfei, they just moved a chair and sat down.
The same is true for Xu Yun.
Since there are only ten people in the entire project team, there is no serious atmosphere when they get together.
It can be seen that everyone is relatively relaxed.
But what Pan Wenjun said next made everyone suddenly change their expressions.
"I decided to overturn the current research direction and adopt a new solid-state lidar design."
As Pan Wenjun's words fell, everyone was startled at first. They did not expect that the purpose of the meeting was to announce this. After coming back to their senses, the two professors first expressed different opinions.
"I disagree."
"I think the current research direction is feasible, and there is no need to overturn it and start over."
"Yes, Academician Pan, we have been researching in the current direction for a long time." A professor sitting on the right pushed up his glasses, took over what his colleague said and expressed his opinion: "Besides, we have just achieved some results now."
Although Pan Wenjun is the overall person in charge of the project, everyone is involved to achieve results.
Therefore, if there is a problem with Pan Wenjun's decision, others will naturally argue with it.
On the other hand, Tang Kang, Qin Hangfei and others, who were doctoral students, tacitly remained silent at this time.
Their role is equivalent to that of a scientific research assistant, and they naturally do not have enough power to influence the direction of the project.
But from the bottom of my heart, I obviously don’t want to overthrow it and start over.
The project has been officially established and a team has been established, and now it has just made some achievements. If it is overturned and the research direction is changed, it will be equivalent to all the previous efforts being wasted.
It's really uncomfortable to have this kind of wasted effort.
Pan Wenjun saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, but his expression didn't change much.
Since he had decided to use Xu Yun's design, he naturally expected that this would happen.
After the two professors calmed down a little, he continued what he had just said.
"I know that this decision will make everyone's early efforts in vain, but it is not good to continue on the wrong path. Xu Yun just submitted his design plan to me. I think this plan should be more mature and all technologies should be improved. Better than what we have now.”
If what Pan Wenjun said just now surprised everyone, then these words now are shocking.
No one here expected that the new solution to be used was actually designed by Xu Yun.
So much so that everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Xu Yun.
Only Tang Kang and Qin Hangfei had complicated expressions, wondering what they were thinking.
"The new plan was designed by Xu Yun?"
"Isn't he always in charge of the laser algorithm? How could he..."
"real or fake?"
"I'm afraid this plan is really not simple if it can be approved by Academician Pan."
…
Xu Yun sat in his seat. Although the voices of the senior brothers and sisters discussing in low voices reached his ears, it did not have any impact on him.
Pan Wenjun's words also made the two professors a little confused, and they were also extremely surprised.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but express my worries.
"Xu Yun is indeed talented in the fields of mathematics and computers, and is even much better than us, but his major is not in the field of optoelectronics. Is this design plan correct?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Wenjun cast his eyes towards the other party, and then explained for Xu Yun with a smile on his face.
"Although Xu Yun's major is not optoelectronics, his self-learning ability is definitely the most talented person I have ever seen." As he spoke, he handed over the design plan to the two of them: "Should we overturn the current plan? , if you choose to study Xu Yun’s plan, let’s wait until you see it in person.”
The two professors took the document without any delay, and quickly settled down and looked at it carefully.
As for others, they can only wait patiently at this time.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the silent conference room was suddenly broken by several surprises.
"Why didn't I think of using this method to solve the side-lobe problem? In this way, the power of the laser is guaranteed."
"The arrangement of the optical phased array is so clever."
"This design plan is very mature and it is indeed worthy of us overturning it and starting over."
After roughly reading Xu Yun's design plan, the two professors were deeply impressed.
I can't wait to start researching it immediately.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, a smile appeared on Pan Wenjun's lips, and he immediately made a final decision on the matter.
"Then starting today, the whole project team will start studying Xu Yun's solid-state lidar design and strive to produce it for testing as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please ask Xu Yun for advice."
