Inside the institute, Qiao Ze is busy designing models.
The grading of the exam papers was handed over directly to Doudou, and all grading has been completed.
It's not that Doudou is smart enough to grade the professors directly. Qiao Ze has edited the scoring rules long after the questions are published. Then Doudou only needs to give points according to the predetermined procedure.
The scores of professors and doctors were a little beyond Qiao Ze's expectations.
Qiao Ze originally thought that the exam would be either 100 points or 80 points.
But there were no perfect scores, but there were quite a few who scored between eighty-eight and ninety-eight, a total of twelve people.
After glancing at the results, Qiao Ze stopped caring and just wrote down the top three with the best results.
Although it's not quite what I imagined, it's not too outrageous either.
They don't care about the composition of the research team, and naturally they don't care too much about the purchase process of the factory.
120 million to buy a ready-made factory building is indeed a large investment.
But the question of money, how should I put it...
Qiao Ze really has no concept of bankruptcy.
In fact, in Qiao Ze's view, after meeting the needs of life, if the money lying in the account is not converted into production means or resources, it is not much different from waste paper.
No, today’s money can’t even be recycled as waste paper. It has become a series of virtual numbers on the account.
In his incomplete understanding, the essence of currency is just a feast of division of rights.
The value of officially issued banknotes as a general equivalent, in addition to those useless economic laws, is more importantly derived from the range of the cannon, whether the weapons are sufficient, and whether it has sufficient deterrence.
To put it simply, whether a certain legal currency is valuable depends not only on the amount of local resources and production capacity, but also on whether the national defense strength has sufficient deterrence. In a sense, the latter is even more important.
Therefore, his underwater unmanned swarm system is obviously more important than money itself.
In areas with strong military force, the economy is generally not that bad. If it really starts to get worse, it must be that the relative value has begun to decline, and the deterrent power has begun to become less powerful.
Whether it's 120 million or 200 million, it's just a number.
As long as the money in the company's account is affordable, that's enough.
The real problem lies in how to solve the technical problems.
Although in the plan submitted, Qiao Ze believed that three years would be enough time to make the finished product and pass the inspection.
But it was obviously impossible for him to delay three years for such an application-oriented project, even if it was to realize his future father-in-law's dream.
Therefore, Qiao Ze’s ultimate goal is to develop a complete set of methods to solve problems that may be encountered in future projects.
Just as he told Lu Bei, the scientific research strength of Xilin University of Technology is there.
Especially for this kind of application-oriented engineering research and development capabilities, the low efficiency is simply due to the failure to find the right method, and this is what he is good at.
It's worth spending days or even months doing this.
After all, he is the father-in-law-to-be.
…
Luo Benyuan hesitated for a long time downstairs of the Xilin Institute of Mathematics early in the morning.
After yesterday's meeting, he tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't sleep.
Although he didn't know what the big guys above him were thinking, as a researcher with extensive front-line research and development experience, he still felt that Qiao Ze's plan was too radical. Launching hastily is likely to cause a huge waste of resources.
Could it be that a group of old people wanted to lock Qiao Ze in China because of their big losses?
It seems possible.
So he simply hoped to come and have a good chat with Qiao Ze, and use his experience to tell Qiao Ze that engineering research is full of accidents.
Some accidents may replicate a miraculous success, but accidents greater than a thousand dollars can cause the project to stagnate, or even ultimately fail.
Even if you imitate the model project, there may be no harvest, let alone such a subversive plan.
The United States is still in the process of researching underwater unmanned intelligent vehicles. It is estimated that underwater clusters are still only conceived solutions. Qiao Ze just wants to implement it?
At any rate, it would be wise to wait for breakthroughs in materials, energy, and communication technologies before considering clusters.
Professor Luo felt that Qiao Ze should listen to his experience. After all, unlike Qiao Ze who got it as soon as he graduated, he was a researcher who worked on the front line of engineering research and development and slowly rose from the position of assistant researcher.
It's not that I'm jealous of Qiao Ze's status, it's just that being young and in a high position is often not a good thing.
But when he came downstairs to the research institute, he hesitated again.
Mainly because he was not very familiar with Qiao Ze, and he also heard that Qiao Ze was not an easy person to deal with.
If you come to the door so directly, if you are kicked out directly, it will be difficult to save your face.
After all, he is a senior scientific researcher, so he still needs to be embarrassed.
It's a pity that he basically stays in the laboratory on weekdays, rarely goes out, and doesn't interact with many people. He does know a few professors in the School of Mathematics, but when we occasionally chat, their words seem to be similar to Qiao Ze's. Not very familiar either.
Obviously, Professor Luo did not notice the cameras scattered around the institute's courtyard. Of course, even if you notice it, you probably won't care. He doesn't mean any harm?
Until someone came out and said hello to him: "Hello, I saw you walking around here several times. What's the matter?"
"Ah? Who are you?" Luo Benyuan looked at the young man who suddenly walked out of the courtyard inexplicably and asked.
"My name is Lu Bei. Well, you can understand me as a security guard of the institute, so who are you?" Lu Bei asked politely.
That is to say, after staying in the research institute for a long time, Luo Benyuan has a bookish air that can be easily seen, so Lu Bei can remain so polite. Of course, it may also be that I stayed in college for a while and was edified by knowledge.
"Security personnel?" Luo Benyuan glanced at Lu Bei suspiciously and asked, "Does the Institute of Mathematics also need special security? Well, I am a professor at the school. My surname is Luo, and my name is Luo Benyuan. I am here to see Professor Qiao. of."
"Oh, you want to be a professor in that algebra research team, right? Come on, stop hanging around here, I'll take you up." Lu Bei said with a smile.
He just likes to see these professors trying to use the back door but feeling embarrassed. It's so funny.
"No, you misunderstood..."
Of course Luo Benyuan knew about the uproarous exam incident. He was about to explain but was interrupted by Lu Bei impatiently: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Are you going to continue here, or are you going to go up with me to find Professor Qiao?"
"I... forget it, I'll go up with you." Luo Benyuan said with a gloomy look.
He really couldn't stand Lu Bei's smart-aleck look, which seemed to see through him at a glance. But it doesn't matter. After meeting Qiao Ze first, he can naturally explain it clearly.
Just like that, he followed Lu Bei into the institute and went up to the third floor. Soon he saw the figure working seriously in front of the computer through the office window.
What surprised Luo Benyuan was that his legendary girlfriend was also doing something on the other side of the office.
This made him a little annoyed.
Hey, it’s really hard to have a good conversation with today’s young people.
Just when Luo Benyuan's mind was filled with complicated emotions, Lu Bei had already knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A crisp female voice sounded.
Luo Benyuan followed Lu Bei into the office.
"Professor Qiao, this is Professor Luo Benyuan of our Xilin University of Technology. He walked around outside several times and wanted to find you but was embarrassed. I was worried and just brought him here." Lu Bei said carelessly as soon as he entered the door.
When Luo Bei's words fell into Luo Benyuan's ears, he was so embarrassed that his ears turned red.
Just when he was about to explain his purpose in front of this man, it was not what he imagined, Qiao Ze suddenly raised his head and looked past the man in front of him, looked at him, and then said directly: "Oh, I know you. "
Then he turned to Su Mucheng and said, "Chengzi, I want to talk to Professor Luo about something."
"Oh, okay. I just want to go out for a walk. Brother Lu, Sister Ying, are they in your lounge?"
"Here, just in time, you can come down with me." Lu Bei responded with a smile. When he turned around, he happened to meet Luo Benyuan's astonished eyes. Seeing the look that looked like a smile but not a smile, he made Just because Qiao Ze said he knew him, Professor Luo, who was caught in an accident, was going crazy again.
He immediately said: "Well, Professor Qiao, the reason why I came to you this time is actually..."
"You don't want to talk anymore?" Qiao Ze looked at Luo Benyuan in confusion and asked.
"Ah?" Luo Benyuan looked at Qiao Ze's expression, and saw that the girl had stopped and looked at him curiously. He thought of some rumors about this young man in his mind, and finally nodded and said stiffly. :"chat!"
There is no way, a little impatience will mess up the big plan.
He came to Qiao Ze for business. He finally got here, but if he really got kicked out again, it would be a big loss.
Sure enough, after hearing his answer, Qiao Ze looked at the female student named Su Mucheng and said, "You go with Brother Lu."
Subconsciously, he turned his head and watched Lu Bei take Su Mucheng away. He didn't know what Lu Bei said to Su Mucheng. The little girl laughed so hard that her shoulders shook. Luo Benyuan felt a mouthful of old blood welling up in his throat... …
Are you making a joke out of yourself?
So he turned around, Luo Benyuan looked at Qiao Ze angrily and said, "Professor Qiao, I'm here to talk to you about the deep sea unmanned swarm project."
Qiao Ze nodded slightly and asked, "What else?"
"But Mr. Lu just now seems to have made a mistake. He thought I came to you to intercede and wanted to join the superspiral algebra research group. Please explain it to me next time I see him." Luo Benyuan said seriously.
Then he saw that the face of the young man opposite him seemed to be a little confused. Sure enough, the next moment he heard him ask: "Is this important?"
Does it matter?
It didn't seem that important compared to what he wanted to talk to Qiao Ze.
At this moment, he seemed to be overwhelmed by this sentence.
"Sit." Qiao Ze pointed to the sofa next to him and said.
Luo Benyuan sat down on the sofa opposite Qiao Ze with some dejection, and then heard a young voice: "I have seen the detailed parameters of the first underwater unmanned intelligent vehicle, which can create something from scratch." Breakthrough, great.”
After hearing this, Luo Benyuan subconsciously replied: "That's not my alone, it's the team's efforts."
Qiao Ze nodded and said, "I know."
"Uh..." Well, Luo Benyuan calmed down and began to understand Qiao Ze's conversation rhythm. It was obvious that this young man was not polite to others.
"I also know that you voted against my plan for the deep-sea unmanned swarm system." Qiao Ze calmly stated a fact.
Good guy...
Although Luo Benyuan guessed that the news of his negative vote would probably reach Qiao Ze's ears, he really didn't expect it to be so soon.
It’s not even twenty-four hours and you already know this?
Who is so quick to talk?
Luo Benyuan suddenly felt that today's trip was the right one.
"Yes, I voted against it, but I really am not optimistic about this project. That's why I'm here today."
"I know."
Qiao Ze said these three words again, then remained silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then continued after a while: "You think this is difficult, my plan is unrealistic."
Luo Benyuan nodded in approval, and just as he was about to express his opinion in depth, Qiao Ze added: "But I don't agree."
"Why?" Luo Benyuan almost blurted out: "Professor Qiao, do you have experience in first-line engineering research?"
Qiao Ze thought for a while and asked: "Does it count to help the Institute of Optoelectronics design and manufacture lithography machines?"
"Ah?" Luo Benyuan was stunned. He really didn't know that Qiao Ze still had this relationship with Optoelectronics.
"Although I am not involved in front-line work, I have summarized the problems here and I can understand where the difficulties lie. Simply put, there is no scientific method." Qiao Ze added.
"Scientific method? What are you questioning? You decide what science is?" Luo Benyuan asked with a hint of sullenness.
Qiao Ze didn't reply and just looked at him quietly.
This quickly calmed Luo Benyuan down.
Well, whether he admits it or not, although the guy in front of him is so young that it always gives people the illusion that he is still a student, his status in the academic world is obviously higher than him, so you have to admit.
Just when he was thinking of something to say to lighten the atmosphere, Qiao Ze spoke again: "Pointless arguments cannot solve the problem. Can you first tell me about the absolute most difficult research difficulty to overcome?"
"Okay, let's talk about the most basic materials first! According to your idea, the unmanned swarm needs to swim on the seabed and standby for a long time, which means it needs to withstand seawater erosion for a long time.
It is different from a submarine. It must be absolutely sealed to protect the normal operation of the internal chip and ensure the normal operation of the communication system. Are there suitable materials at this stage that can support your idea? Why do you think there will be materials available for you to use in a short time? "
Qiao Ze nodded and said: "Materials science is exactly the subject that I want to improve the method. The current research methods of materials science are indeed very unscientific."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Luo Benyuan said in a slightly stiff tone.
"Have you paid attention to papers on materials science?"
Qiao Ze asked casually, but he didn't seem to want to listen to Luo Benyuan's answer. He said to himself: "Whether it is materials mechanics, materials engineering, or new materials, in fact, the overall research direction of materials science has become trial and error. game. We don’t know the best ratio of materials, so we can only make the materials more advanced through countless experiments.
Therefore, too much complex data has been accumulated in the huge database. Doesn't this seem stupid? What if there was a way to give the required material parameters, and with the help of a huge database, the model could automatically find the required substrate, the corresponding catalyst, and the optimal ratio? "
Luo Benyuan opened his eyes wide, looked at Qiao Ze, and subconsciously exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible? Come and see."
Luo Benyuan subconsciously walked to Qiao Ze's side at Qiao Ze's signal and looked at the computer screen. There was a very complicated data frame on it. There are also many formulas that are too complicated to understand without careful study.
"The np-complete problem in mathematics is to simplify the complex problem and turn a complex problem into many simple problems. Although I have not been able to prove p=np yet, when it comes to the study of materials science, this model has It’s completely feasible. For example, something like this..."
As he spoke, Qiao Ze started to select a certain position in the data frame, tensile strength, shear strength, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic parameters, damage parameters, surface healing...
Luo Benyuan watched Qiao Ze complete parameter selections for dozens of materials, common and uncommon, and then the system started running in the background...
"These requirements have been uploaded to Doudou's backend database, and the model has been started to operate and compare. There are no too extreme parameter settings, so the speed will not be too slow. After we finish talking, there should be results."
"You mean that the model you developed only needs to input the requirements in the future, and then the model can automatically give opinions on base materials, catalysts, and optimal ratios after calculation?"
"More than these, laboratory solutions will also be given. Heating, pressure, annealing, quenching, aging, solid solution treatment, precipitation strengthening, sintering, chemical and physical vapor deposition, etc."
After speaking, Qiao Ze thought for a while and added: "Of course, the model is not omnipotent. If the parameters you input are too extreme, it will not be able to give a solution, or the solution given is not operable. .”
At this moment, Luo Benyuan's brain seemed to freeze and he lost his ability to think.
After a while, he murmured without any momentum: "If this model is really useful, even if it is only half as useful as you described, the world owes you a Nobel Prize."
"Nobel Prize?"
Qiao Ze glanced at Luo Benyuan and said calmly: "That is not necessary, but it has actually proven that the model is useful. Doudou has used this model to verify the contents of the latest issues of major materials science journals. And randomly Helped the authors of several papers to provide suggestions for improvement.
This is their reply, and it turns out that they got better lab results based on the advice given by my model. "
As Qiao Ze retrieved an email from his mailbox, Luo Benyuan looked at the content of the letter and then at the sender's email address. If there was no forgery, was this a thank you letter from the University of Manchester laboratory?
Then Luo Benyuan began to read the reply content seriously...
The University of Manchester laboratory published an article on flexible metals in ACS Publications last month. Qiao Ze borrowed the name of the School of Materials to send a letter to inform the other party and gave several modifications to the laboratory details.
The other party seemed to really listen, and then made adjustments and reproduced it in the laboratory, which not only simplified the experimental steps, but also greatly improved the success rate of preparation.
Then a special thank-you letter was sent, and they even wanted to recruit people...
"Random improvement suggestions were submitted to six units. Four of them ignored them. The emails can always be withdrawn. The feedback from the other two was very good." Qiao Ze said with a smile.
"Is this... really useful? Is it useful for every paper?" Luo Benyuan asked blankly.
"We selected a hundred papers to use model validation, and the success rate was about 77 percent."
"That's already..."
"But for the other 23% of the papers, Doudou tried to send an email to the journal editorial office, questioning that the test results were fake and the test process could not be reproduced. So far, three papers have been successfully complained and removed from the shelves. Well, this is the editor The reply letter from the Ministry..."
Luo Benyuan swallowed back what he was about to say, and quietly watched Qiao Ze operating his mailbox. The three reply letters from the editorial offices of different materials science journals focused on the night before made his brain shut down again.
He blinked, not knowing what to say.
Good guy, does this mean that after model verification, 23% of the papers in the top materials journals are falsifying data?
"This... this... how did you do this?" Luo Benyuan asked, almost baring his teeth.
"Well, if you don't understand the new concept of mathematics, it may be a little troublesome to explain. You can understand it as the extended application of superspiral algebra and transcendental geometry. From this, I derived the concept of a dimensional distortion algebra.
There is an interesting concept of the twist algebra coefficient, which represents how one dimension twists or turns to another dimension in superspiral algebra. This can be thought of as the strength of the mapping between different dimensions.
Then the concepts of dimension element, distortion element and dimension distortion operator are brought in, and the dimension distortion equation is obtained. Through this equation, the mapping relationship of dimensions can be reflected, which constitutes the most basic algorithm part of the model. Of course, the model also includes traditional mathematical applications such as Fourier transform.
To put it simply, it means that the basic characteristics of materials can be calculated in a more microscopic way, and then compared and corrected from the database with the help of supercomputing, and then the experimental process can be restored. Isn’t this a little complicated? "
Luo Benyuan nodded subconsciously, then felt something was wrong and shook his head again...
He didn't know if it was very complicated, but he just didn't understand it, even though his math skills were not bad.
But even those who study mathematics seriously probably don’t know much about these things, right?
"At least now you can agree that this is a more scientific method?" Qiao Ze asked in a different way.
This time Luo Benyuan nodded firmly.
He couldn't think of any way to be more scientific than this.
"So do you agree that a lot of time can be saved through scientific methods?"
Luo Benyuan nodded again. This not only saves a lot of time, but also saves a lot of money. There will be no need for so many materials laboratories in the future. If you need anything, just adjust the parameters directly and then reproduce it.
Is this a tool that can be designed by humans?
