Chapter 466 Obvious Advantage
Naturally, Xu Zhou no longer wanted to use the experimental instruments they brought over. The reason why Xu Zhou chose to bring them over was more as a backup option, so as not to delay the progress of the experiment.
Under Ning Chen's guidance, everyone quickly understood how to use these experimental equipment and got started one after another.
What everyone didn't expect was that these experimental equipment were indeed much easier to operate than they imagined, and the effects achieved by the experimental equipment exceeded their imagination.
"Teacher Ning, it seems that the experimental equipment we brought really does not need to be taken out anymore. We have just started to use it, and we are already able to operate it to this extent. The level of these experimental equipment is indeed far beyond ours. The previous equipment.”
Xu Zhou felt very incredible about such a result, but facing such advanced and easy-to-use experimental equipment, Xu Zhou's mood must be more happy, even if he asked everyone to bring a lot of carry-on luggage to the science fiction island, It might become a permanent joke, but that's okay.
In addition to Xu Zhou, several other teachers also expressed similar thoughts to Xu Zhou, which made everyone happily reach an agreement on the choice of experimental equipment.
"Okay, in that case, we have made a happy decision. Teacher Xu, please rest assured that we will definitely not spread this matter indiscriminately after we go back. I believe everyone will keep this secret for you, right?"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone unanimously focused their attention on Sui Feng.
Realizing that everyone was looking at him at the same time, Sui Feng said in a panic:
"You...what are you looking at what I do? Am I so lax with my mouth?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, because if there was one person who was the most lax among these people, it would definitely be Sui Feng.
Of course, Sui Feng was not really the kind of person who would leak important information to the outside world at will. He was just quite interested in discussing gossip.
"Okay, this is not a big deal. If you want to chat with others, just go ahead and chat." Xu Zhou said with a smile.
This episode made everyone feel a lot more relaxed, but soon everyone became serious again and continued to discuss matters related to future research work.
"Mr. Ning, I'm still a little surprised. Although you have only studied the theoretical enhancement scheme of controllable nuclear fusion before, have you really never done any experiments? At least some of the things still need to be verified through experiments. Yes."
In addition to Xu Zhou, similar questions also appeared in the minds of others. Facing their questions, Ning Chen calmly explained:
"Yes, we did not use any experiments, it was purely theoretical research. This time I also want to promote this method to you. This method takes the mathematical model as the starting point and core, and combines it with other How to research domain knowledge..."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, everyone present except Song Xiyun showed very surprised expressions.
Admittedly, they must have heard of similar methods of solving scientific research problems before, but this kind of pure mathematical thinking is more often manifested in problems that are very close to mathematics.
As for the research topic of controllable nuclear fusion, it is obvious that physics knowledge accounts for more. If it is only based on pure mathematics, it is obviously impossible to solve this problem.
But since Ning Chen can express such remarks, it is enough to show that they have indeed completed the enhancement of controllable nuclear fusion technology through this method before, which makes everyone feel more curious about it.
"Teacher Ning, have you really made a better controllable nuclear fusion model just by using mathematical models? But we are not experts in mathematics, can we really master this method? ?”
Ning Chen had already prepared for everyone's questions, nodded and answered:
"Of course, and I don't think you need to have any doubts about this issue. In fact, each of us does not need to be defined at the beginning. Just like Song Xiyun was just a pure mathematical researcher before, but now he can Research in many different fields. I imagine that we are all capable of doing the same thing, and we don’t need to deliberately limit our professional fields..."
Ning Chen's words made everyone fall silent, because the fact was just like what Ning Chen said. After officially engaging in materials science, they had never thought about the possibility of pursuing other directions.
Such an idea may allow them to focus all their energy on the major of materials science, but at the same time, it also limits their development to a great extent.
Realizing that Ning Chen's proposal might indeed allow them to gain greater promotion, the former commander took the lead and said:
"Mr. Ning, I am willing to try the method you mentioned. Anyway, we have already made room-temperature superconductors in the strict sense before. Even if this research is not so easy to succeed, this is something we can all accept. "
Seeing that the former commander was the first to express his approval, Ning Chen's eyes were filled with relief.
Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai have always maintained a teacher-student relationship. When they later became colleagues in the same laboratory, Yuan Shuai still admired Ning Chen.
Yuan Shuai knew that if it were not for Ning Chen's help, he would not have achieved such great success, and he might not even have the opportunity to stay in Shengzhou University.
In fact, in the previous life, Yuan Shuai's development was relatively ordinary. After graduation, he just worked in a factory. Although the salary was not bad, it was very different from the situation in this life.
It can be said that Ning Chen's rebirth also made Yuan Shuai completely change his life. Although Yuan Shuai did not know the inside story, his trust in Ning Chen was something that Yuan Shuai would never waver.
Yuan Shuai's speech also led Xu Zhou and others, which made everyone decide to implement Ning Chen's ideas.
"Teacher Ning, since we have all come to the Science Fiction Island, we will definitely focus on you. Mathematics was one of my strengths before, so it shouldn't be too difficult to learn now."
"Yes, Teacher Ning, you are the person in charge of this project, and we will definitely do it according to your requirements. As a scientific researcher, we should not stay in our comfort zone all the time, but should constantly step out of our comfort zone, so that we can become better scientific researchers."
Ning Chen was very satisfied with the attitude shown by everyone. Of course, Ning Chen would not force anyone, but just hoped to take this opportunity to give everyone more possibilities.
"Don't worry, we will definitely let everyone slowly run in this new research method. As for whether everyone can adapt to this research method in the future, it depends on everyone's specific performance."
Ning Chen and Song Xiyun hoped that their original intention of coming to the Science Fiction Island was mainly to help them with experimental work, and the research method of mathematical models was the icing on the cake.
…………
After taking Xu Zhou and others to stroll around the Science Fiction Island for a day, everyone soon officially started their research work.
At the beginning, Ning Chen did not intend to let Xu Zhou and others join in immediately. After all, Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's special research method was not so easy to start. Ning Chen just asked them to try their best to understand his and Song Xiyun's research method first, so as to facilitate the subsequent experimental work.
When they first came into contact with this special research method, Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, Sui Feng, Pierce and others were a little confused. They had no idea what Ning Chen and Song Xiyun were doing. However, with the patient explanation of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, everyone gradually began to understand this idea.
"So that's it. This research method is to replace all other subjects with mathematical thinking. Mathematics is really a very versatile tool that can describe so many things."
After beginning to understand Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's research method, Xu Zhou suddenly realized that it is actually easier to study materials science through mathematical models than to study controlled nuclear fusion.
Because materials science originally studies the microscopic results and macroscopic properties of matter. In these aspects, mathematics can relatively easily describe the structure of materials, and there will be no mistakes in the conversion between the two.
In contrast, the research potential has been almost exhausted through the description of normal materials science, while the research method of building mathematical models may show more possibilities.
After a few days of adaptation, everyone praised Ning Chen and Song Xiyun's research method, and realized that this is indeed a very good research method, and everyone gradually began to get started with this method.
After all, everyone is a university teacher majoring in engineering. Even if mathematics is not their main major, their mathematical foundation is at least not too bad, and there are mathematicians of Ning Chen and Song Xiyun around to guide them. Everyone's mathematical level will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Seeing that everyone is in a very good state, Ning Chen decided to end everyone's adaptation period and start the first important work of this research topic.
"The task we need to complete now is to construct the 290K room temperature superconducting material we made before through pure mathematical thinking. Although this is not our ultimate goal, if this task can be successfully completed, it will definitely be of great help to our subsequent research..."
Ning Chen had always felt that although they had successfully synthesized this 290K room temperature superconducting material, they might not have a very thorough understanding of this room temperature superconducting material.
And through the mathematical model, they can examine and analyze this room temperature superconducting material from another perspective, which may have different inspirations for them.
After listening to Ning Chen's ideas, everyone agreed, and this work was quickly carried out.
It is not as easy as imagined to fully describe the 290K room temperature superconducting material through a mathematical model, because this material structure is not static, but presents a dynamic form in multiple dimensions, and everyone must also fully describe these different dynamics.
The workload alone is very huge, not to mention that there are many technical difficulties in it.
Fortunately, in addition to Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, Sui Feng, Pierce and others have also experienced the transformation of brain biological computer technology. Being able to use this technology to work can greatly improve their work efficiency.
With everyone's joint efforts, this massive research task was finally completed bit by bit.
Although the amount of tasks completed by other people combined is not as much as Ning Chen and Song Xiyun, Ning Chen is still very satisfied with everyone's performance. After all, they have just started this work, and this speed is already very good. What's more, the quality of everyone's work is also very guaranteed. Even Ning Chen did not detect any errors.
With the end of this stage of research work, Ning Chen led everyone to summarize and analyze this mathematical research model.
"As you can see, the material shown by this mathematical model is completely consistent with our 290K room temperature superconducting material. But in many aspects, our mathematical model description method has more advantages. Through seemingly abstract descriptions, it reflects more details..."
Following Ning Chen's analysis, everyone gradually understood what Ning Chen was referring to, and became more aware of the uniqueness of this research method.
"Teacher Ning, I understand! This mathematical model is a more detailed and specific description than the particle structure, and can describe a substance in essence. For example, for the prediction of the properties of materials under different temperatures, pressures, humidity and other conditions, our mathematical model can complete the prediction in an instant, but the physical model needs to spend a certain amount of time to calculate..."
With the support of high-performance computers, although the calculation time is short to almost negligible, the essential logic between the two is different after all. If a more complex model is encountered, the difference will be more obvious.
In addition to the difference in calculation speed, this mathematical model is also more accurate in predicting the properties of materials, which is something that Xu Zhou and others did not expect before.
