Because Senior Brother Liu is responsible for the project, Qiao Yu often goes to learn something about the laboratory this week.
Then I discovered that there were a lot of complaints about the laboratory being too metaphysical, and it was really all kinds of monsters and monsters.
For example, when various experimental conditions are consistent, the success rate is higher in the morning than in the afternoon; the pot reaction on rainy days always feels different from that on sunny days; growing molybdenum disulfide using chemical vapor deposition requires constant replacement of people, otherwise it will not grow.
come out……
This is enough to show that there are many unknown stories that continue to happen in the laboratory, so when Qiao Yu thinks about it, it is not just the problem Liu Hao encountered, but also more problems.
For example, how did these laboratory metaphysics come about? Is there any way to transform metaphysics into science?
For this reason, he really read a lot of review literature on chemistry during this period, and then his thinking became limited.
The paper he found on arXiv is also a review paper. The author is signed by Albert Luo, a mechanical engineering major at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
Qiao Yu had never heard of this university, but from the name it could be seen that the professor was also an overseas Chinese.
The main topic of this paper is to introduce a generalized modal axiom system into complex dynamic systems and explore the possibility of modal geometry optimization to solve key problems in nonlinear systems.
There is a passage in the paper that Qiao Yu likes deeply.
"The complexity of the behavior of dynamic systems such as chemical reaction networks, material self-assembly, etc. makes it difficult for traditional research methods to analyze high-dimensional nonlinear behavior. The introduction of the generalized modal axiom system provides the possibility to apply geometric tools to the study of dynamic systems.
Map dynamic system states to modal space, use modal distance and modal convolution to quantify the relationship between different variables and capture functional hot spots, thereby providing a unified description from dynamic behavior to geometric patterns..."
Really, after seeing this paper, Qiao Yu's mind was suddenly activated.
Why didn't he think that his system of mathematical axioms could be applied in practical applications?
Once his mind was opened, Qiao Yu's ideas really sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
After all, the person in the world who best understands how this axiom system works is Qiao Yu himself.
Although he designed this axiom system to solve number theory problems, this framework can obviously solve more than just number theory problems.
Specific to the difficulties Liu Hao encountered in this project, the mutual coupling of multi-dimensional variables and the weak forces between molecules have a significant impact on performance, but they are manifested as nonlinearity and the complexity of parameter optimization...
After mapping, the modal distance is matched with the existing data to analyze the nonlinear effects of different molecular interactions on gel properties.
The parameter problem can be defined as finding the area with the largest modal density in the modal space, which represents the best experimental conditions.
Mapping the self-healing behavior of materials into periodic distribution on the modal path, finding hotspot areas with low repair efficiency...
Does it seem feasible in theory?
With this idea, Qiao Yu no longer bothered to study the paper sent by Senior Brother Chen. Instead, he directly opened the software again and began to design the laboratory mathematical model.
At present, the three most important parameter states in the laboratory, reaction time, molecular interaction amount, and material response strength, are represented by α, β, and γ respectively.
Then the mapping formula is r=(αβ,γ).
Add a weighting factor to it and give a specific value after analyzing the laboratory results.
Then directly applying the definition of modal distance: d_M(r_1,r_2) can be directly expressed as:
The next step is to evaluate the cumulative contribution of nonlinear effects. This part needs to be operated by modal convolution. The same formula is first set, which can be directly obtained:
Through this formula to analyze high-density areas in space, the objective function of the optimization goal can finally be obtained:
Obviously, the function X in the optimization formula represents the laboratory parameters to be optimized.
Of course this is just a general formula.
After spending several hours pushing through the formula, Qiao Yu thought about his idea carefully.
He feels that there is no problem in mathematics, but he is not sure yet whether he can guide Senior Brother Liu on his subject.
After all, this is an idea, but fortunately he still has a lot of data packaged from the laboratory.
The only problem is that this involves a lot of complex calculations. It seems that both he and Professor Lu believe that the current amount of data in Liu Hao's research group is not enough.
But the "not enough" mentioned here actually means that in the eyes of mathematicians, the amount of data that can reflect certain patterns is not enough, rather than the total amount of data being insufficient. In fact, the total amount of data accumulated in half a year is still a lot.
Now Qiao Yu's way of dealing with the problem, explained in jargon, is to find the most representative low-dimensional projection in the high-dimensional modal space, reducing the dependence on the whole data. And trying to find potential patterns from these fragmented data.
.
By minimizing the value of d-m, we can find the path with the strongest regularity, guide the subsequent experimental design according to the modal hot spots, and supplement the key parameter range data from new laboratory data.
This method is actually a bit clumsy. Although supercomputing can be used, it requires someone who understands this plan to adjust each weight parameter based on existing data.
It's not difficult, but it takes too much time. If Qiao Yu had just kept his head down and just done it before, after all, he would make money if he did it well.
But now Qiao Yu felt that he had passed the stage where he needed to spend his own time to earn hard-earned money. So after thinking for a while, he simply called Liu Hao.
"Qiao Yu, did you call me? Do you have any clues about the matter that I asked you to do?"
A heavy sense of expectation can be heard in the tone, from which we can judge that the situation in the laboratory this week is not good, and there must be no particularly good results yet.
This is actually good news.
Because if good news comes out from the laboratory, his role seems not to be that great.
"It's not there yet, but I have a very powerful idea. The problem now is that I can't continue on my own, so I need someone to help.
This candidate needs to have a relatively in-depth understanding of my generalized modal number theory system and various concepts within the framework, and be proficient in functional analysis. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Qiao Yu asked directly.
Obviously, this question did not cause any trouble to Senior Brother Liu opposite him, and he answered quickly.
"Well...if I had good recommendations, I wouldn't stay in the laboratory. Let's put it this way, the math scores of the people in the research group are probably average.
If you want to talk about calculus, linear algebra, statistics, etc., everyone is pretty good at it. But when it comes to functionals and your number theory content... let's not joke.
I don’t know about others, but if I could learn these things well, I would have taken the postgraduate entrance examination in mathematics during my master’s degree. It would be absolutely impossible for me to continue to major in chemistry.”
Well, it wasn’t beyond Qiao Yu’s expectation.
After all, chemistry does not require excellent math scores. What you usually need to calculate are probably molecular structure and chemical reaction rates. No more advanced mathematical knowledge is required.
After all, chemistry is recognized as one of the four major majors. If the requirements for mathematics are too high, it may really shut out the last batch of people who are passionate about this profession.
Qiao Yu took the opportunity to give his opinion: "Well, then I can find a good candidate, but this requires giving him the data from your laboratory. Isn't that a big problem?"
"Ah? Is it from this school or from another school?"
Qiao Yu replied: "I have a senior brother, do you know him? Chen Zhuoyang is also a student of Director Tian. He just graduated at the beginning of the year and went to Tianjin University, but recently he is planning to switch to Nanjing University next door."
"Oh, it's the one from the other paper, right? That should be no problem. Hey, actually speaking, our data has nothing to keep secret, and it's of no use anyway.
But there is no other way. You also know that for this kind of horizontal project, the contract stipulates that the laboratory data theoretically belongs to Party A. So it is best to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Qiao Yu could tell that Liu Hao was embarrassed.
But he can understand it.
Director Tian had previously told him that this kind of horizontal project was a collaboration between an enterprise and a school laboratory, and the division of labor between Party A and Party B was very clear.
And because Party A is generally fully funded, there are clear regulations on the division of rights and responsibilities and data ownership.
This is also the reason why the results of many horizontal experiments cannot be published casually in papers, but then again, this answer is quite good.
So Qiao Yu simply said: "No problem, do you want to sign an electronic contract or do you need me, Senior Brother Chen, to come to school?"
"Just sign an electronic contract and file it. No need for people to come. They are just helping our laboratory, so I'm sorry to bother Senior Brother Chen too much."
Qiao Yu immediately replied: "That's no problem, but Senior Brother Liu, the method I used this time is a bit new, so the method I used may need to be kept secret first. Can you understand it?"
"Well...of course, I can definitely understand this."
Qiao Yu continued: "In addition, my next plan is that after Senior Brother Chen has processed the existing data, he also needs your laboratory to conduct project experiments in full accordance with my requirements, and then give us all the data. This and your other
Is there no problem with the side?"
"Don't worry, as long as it can help us find clues as soon as possible, these are all small things. By the way, we have some data this week. Do we need to send it to you?"
Qiao Yu replied: "This is not needed for the time being. I guess the data on hand is enough for the time being. Let's wait until the early results are calculated. We may need some more targeted data later. We may need to add some experimental conditions."
Liu Hao on the other side asked: "Um... Qiao Yu, how long will it take for your new method to be effective?"
"That depends on Senior Brother Chen's work efficiency. If he is fast, I think you may need to provide some new data for verification early next month.
If everything goes well, effective operational guidance will probably be given in one or two months at most. But this will require some computing power support."
Qiao Yu gave an estimated time.
"There is no problem with the computing power. Party A has provided us with a dedicated computing power system, how about I give you the address and account number directly?"
"No, I will push Chen Zhuoyang's WeChat account to you later. You can just give it to Senior Brother Chen directly. He is mainly responsible for our calculations here.
Let’s just say this for now. I’ll send you a WeChat message after I’ve made an agreement with Senior Brother Chen, and then you can communicate.”
"Okay, okay, okay, then I won't waste your time."
…
Qiao Yu hung up the phone and immediately called Chen Zhuoyang.
At this time, Qiao Yu was thinking more than just helping Liu Hao solve their problem.
Because he suddenly thought of a way to make money.
If this method is really effective, he can charge consulting fees in the future.
Those who are engaged in chemistry, materials, or even some physical experiments, if there is a bottleneck and can't find the direction, they can be asked to use this method to conduct targeted modeling.
If you form a professional team and carry out modular work, it actually won't take much time.
The most important thing is that after this system is developed, prices can be clearly marked. Not only horizontal projects, but also vertical projects and general projects can be negotiated.
Is it not shameful to use some of the research funds for consulting fees?
Isn’t the scope of business now extensive? Laboratories, R&D departments of major companies, and pure researchers...
As long as the early stage modeling is difficult and the analysis is complicated, he can take on the project. Even while waiting for Chen Zhuoyang to answer the phone, Qiao Yu had almost conceived a complete business model.
Really, at this moment, Qiao Yu felt a little grateful to Professor Zhang Yuanling.
Fortunately, his fair evaluation strengthened his determination to withdraw the project proposal. After all, according to a series of requirements for project funding, if he received scientific research funds, it would be difficult to negotiate the ownership of the derivative scientific research services he used to use this set of research results.
But now these are all his personal research results. If it can be produced, at least in the next few years, he can make a lot of money.
As long as he can prove that many related experiments can avoid detours and get results faster, he believes that many research groups will definitely not mind paying some consulting fees.
After all, for such a small catalyst project, Professor Zhang directly paid him two million in consulting fees.
This is simply a deep blue sea!
The most important thing is that it does not require much investment in the early stage and is completely asset-light.
After all, the laboratories are built by others, and they can continuously test and improve their own modular system through the data produced by other people's laboratories.
So, when Chen Zhuoyang answered the phone, Qiao Yu immediately said excitedly: "Hey, Senior Brother Chen, are you interested in playing second-largest with me this time?!"
…
Time goes back one minute.
Although it is almost five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zhuoyang is still taking a nap...
After lunch, he chatted with Qiao Yu for a few words on WeChat, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
There is no way, this period of time is indeed too hard. The average sleep time must not exceed six hours a day, and my spirit has been high during this period...
But today he has completed all the current tasks and submitted them via email. He immediately relaxed.
As a result, he fell asleep directly until the constant ringing of his cell phone woke him up.
He drowsily put the phone to his ear. Just as the phone connected automatically, he heard Qiao Yu's energetic words, which really forced his brain to wake up.
Subconsciously he asked again: "Um...junior brother, what did you just say?"
"I asked if you are interested in playing the next big thing with me! This is a serious big project. If we can handle it, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
Hearing these words again, Chen Zhuoyang suddenly felt no longer sleepy. He straightened up like a carp and jumped up from the bed.
Really, when Qiao Yu asked him to join the general modal axiom system research group, he didn't even say so exaggeratedly that he would take him to play the second largest game.
As a result, the project started at the end of August took off with him in early November. His paper was directly published in the Annual Journal of Mathematics, and he even got a first prize!
If this is not a big project in Qiao Yu's opinion, how big can this big project that can make a lot of money be?
You can’t just take him to win the Fields Medal, right?
Okay, this is a bit exaggerated, Chen Zhuoyang doesn't dare to think about it. But Qiao Yu said he wanted to play with the second largest one, and now he just wants to know how big it can be!
Even if it's a cake painting, Qiao Yu really let him eat the cakes he painted!
"I'm interested! How could I not be interested? Junior brother, I've told you before, I'll do whatever you say! Don't talk about making a big deal. You just want to blow up Tianjin University, I'll find a way to get explosives now
go!"
Chen Zhuoyang replied immediately.
Okay, this statement is a bit exaggerated...if it were true, he would probably still hesitate.
"Don't make trouble, Senior Brother Chen. Am I the kind of person who would instigate people to commit crimes? But if this thing is done well, it is really promising. Let me tell you briefly first... But that kind of chemistry laboratory
Or have you been to the physics laboratory?"
Chen Zhuoyang was a little confused, but he still answered honestly: "No."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have them. To put it simply, some problems often arise when they do experiments, which are not easy to solve. My project is to construct a framework that can help them solve the problems.
This framework can provide them with a mathematical framework and theoretical support, provide modeling guidance when data is not sufficient, help them save costs and time, and charge consulting fees."
Chen Zhuoyang suddenly fell into a very confused state.
If he remembered correctly, he was still doing research on advancing the generalized modal axiom system this morning. He just took a nap. What kind of laboratory framework is Qiao Yu going to start working on again?
So he cautiously probed: "Um...junior brother, I can probably understand what you are saying, but I actually don't understand this part at all!"
"You don't need to know anything else, you just need to understand our system. Let's put it this way, my application framework uses modal space to judge and analyze laboratory data through modal spacing and modal convolution.
.
It may be troublesome in the early stage because we need to keep trial and error, but the good news is that there is a laboratory that can cooperate with our work unconditionally. And I have almost deduced the relevant things.
So what you have to do now is the same as before, use their laboratory data to bring into the framework to calculate different weight parameters, which using our technology is to test the density of modal points.
In short, I will write you an instruction manual, and you just have to follow it. It will be similar to what I did before. If this project is completed, we can provide similar services to laboratories around the world!
I have thought about it all. The most basic service is to directly map the experimental data provided by the customer to the modal space, build a basic modal path, and provide preliminary regular analysis.
Advanced services can optimize various experimental parameters for key bottlenecks and even provide important data point prediction services. As for more advanced services, full-process consulting services can also be provided.
In addition to all the above services, it also provides dimensionality reduction analysis of high-dimensional projection to help you analyze the optimal test prices at each stage. This kind of charging can also be based on the project progress by stages, or even result-oriented charging. What do you think?
Sample?"
Um……
Chen Zhuoyang's mind is quite confused...
He knew that Qiao Yu liked money, but he really didn't know that Qiao Yu liked money so much!
So the so-called doing great things is not the Fields Medal, but making money wisely?
To be honest, if he had a choice, Chen Zhuoyang would actually like to continue to follow Qiao Yu to do more in-depth research on the generalized modal axiom system.
How should I put it? Chen Zhuoyang is the kind of person who doesn't have high requirements for material things.
Compared with material things, he enjoys the feeling of making mathematical results and being noticed by everyone.
It's not that Chen Zhuo is not interested in money at all.
The main reason is that he doesn't think he can make much money. This is why he wants to work in a university.
As long as you can be rated as a professor, it will be difficult to become rich and powerful in this life, but life will never be difficult.
But then I thought about it, after he went to Nanjing University, he became an associate professor. His goal in life has almost been completed. More importantly, what Nannan University values ​​​​is probably his relationship with Qiao Yu...
So even though he was not very optimistic, Chen Zhuoyang still agreed: "Well, junior brother, I don't know if what you said can be achieved. But if you need me to do anything, just tell me. As long as I can complete it, I will definitely do it."
I won’t hold you back.”
"I know that at the critical moment, senior brother, you are still reliable. Okay, I will refer you to senior brother Liu Hao from Yanbei University of Chemistry later. You sign a confidentiality agreement with him first.
Then just check your email, I will write you an explanation, and you can process the data according to my instructions. By the way, remember to ask Liu Hao for a supercomputing account.
You can't pay for helping them do things. In addition, as long as they can achieve their results this time, don't keep giving me your salary. Keep it yourself. If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me.
Okay, that’s it, I’ll hang up first!”
After he finished speaking, the person on the other end hung up the phone without even waiting for him to speak again. He was so vigorous and resolute that he didn't even say a few polite words.
Chen Zhuoyang was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and rubbed his face. He had a feeling that a project that could make Qiao Yu so excited would definitely not be easy in the next period of time...
After being in contact with him for such a long time, he quite understands his junior brother's temperament. I guess it came with the email, and there was probably some chicken soup that could be filled in a vat.
But it doesn't matter, he really likes drinking Qiao Yu's chicken soup now.
…
Of course, Qiao Yu never thought that what he said was nonsense, because that's what he thought.
The purpose of studying prime numbers is to make money, and the purpose of developing the generalized modal axiom system is to overcome the difficulties of prime numbers as soon as possible.
So now that I have discovered that his system of generalized modal axioms has been put into practical use and has the potential to make money, I naturally want to give it a try.
If he can succeed, he can bring Lao Xue together to do it. Lao Xue also has several doctoral students under his command, and he can form a team to provide high-quality consulting services to some laboratories that can't find their direction.
If the consulting business is very good and really profitable, maybe we can set up a company and directly hire some PhDs in mathematics, and they can start working directly after a short-term training.
But then again, when Qiao Yu discovered this business opportunity, his mind started racing again.
In a sense, whether it is the movement of celestial bodies, particle movement, or various changes, the mathematical essence is the same.
This world is absolutely random and it can even be said that it does not exist at all. Everything is regular. It is just that some are hidden deeply and some are hidden shallowly.
Therefore, his thinking should be more open-minded and should not be limited to the little things at hand now.
A well-known young mathematician is just an identity. This identity can provide him with many conveniences, but this identity cannot limit his thinking...
Although Qiao Yu's mind was racing very fast, Qiao Yu actually didn't stop at all.
First, he directly pushed Chen Zhuoyang's WeChat account to Liu Hao and asked them to communicate about the laboratory data confidentiality agreement.
Then I quickly wrote an explanation, packed it with other materials, and sent it to Senior Brother Chen via email.
Of course, Qiao Yu did not send the laboratory data to Chen Zhuoyang. That was something Liu Hao decided after discussing with Chen Zhuoyang, and he would not overstep his authority.
…
When people have pursuits, time often passes quickly. At least for Qiao Yu, it was almost nothing, and November was over.
Not only did the weather in Yanbei become colder in December, but the atmosphere on campus also became more tense.
No way, final exam season is here again.
For the vast majority of students who performed well in the college entrance examination and were admitted to Yanbei University, life at Yanbei University is the beginning of their dreams.
But every year, there are always some people who, after stepping onto the campus of Yanbei University, only feel that this is the beginning of a nightmare.
You are surrounded by the best among your peers. When everyone works together to achieve results, the pressure is something you simply cannot feel in ordinary universities.
Especially those who can get admitted to Yanbei University, most of them are still arrogant. From being the best in key classes and being coaxed by the teacher, they are reduced to passers-by in university...
It's hard to describe the psychological gap in words. Some people survived and were reborn, while others couldn't survive and received a warning letter or even a cold notice to quit.
Many people say that after being admitted to a prestigious school, they were dismissed because they were addicted to gaming. In fact, this is not entirely accurate.
Because the reason why excellent students are addicted to games is often because they want to escape reality.
Many people always need someone to rely on after their confidence collapses. Games are one of the least harmful ways to hurt others and yourself.
Of course, those students with good grades will not find it easy either.
After all, if you want to have a better future and you have to work hard for grade points, the mentality of "Long Live Sixty" never belongs here.
Chapter completed!
