From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

"Super compressive alloy material?"

Wang Hao was very surprised when he saw the project name on the phone picture, and finally understood why Xia Guobin was embarrassed to speak.

In the Alloy Materials Laboratory of Donggang University, the project he is engaged in is the research and development of ultra-compressive alloy materials.

This project is very sensitive to him.

If he was dismissed by Donggang University because of a calculation error that caused huge losses in the experiment, and someone came to him with this project, to a certain extent, it could be said to be a humiliation to him.

Xia Guobin paid attention to Wang Hao's reaction and found that he was acting very calmly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I made up my mind to ask you after reading the recent media reports."

"Wang Hao, you are very clear. I believed at the beginning that the Donggang incident is definitely not your problem. I don't have any other ideas. I just want to ask my old friend."

"Their research has indeed encountered a big problem, the most important one is in the analysis of experimental data."

He listened for a while and continued, "Don't worry, although it is the same project, the Metal Research Institute of Xijing Jiaotong University is doing the project, and even the funding is different."

Wang Hao asked curiously, "Are there several organizations working on this project?"

Xia Guobin nodded, and said with fingers, "I know three, one is Donggang University, one is Xijing Jiaotong University, and the other is Aeronautical Materials Institute."

"This is an ultra-compressive alloy material with a wide range of applications. Organizations in the military industry must have similar projects."

He went into detail.

Research and development related to alloy materials is a national key project, and high-performance alloy materials are the areas of focus. Heavy industry companies, aviation industry groups and the National Materials Fund will all provide support for related research and development.

The Alloy Materials Laboratory of Donggang University originally applied for the research and development of super-compression-resistant, high-temperature-resistant, and corrosion-resistant alloys of the Aviation Group. Later, the overall project was won by the Aeronautical Materials Institute.

The alloy material laboratory is also very powerful, and the project application preparations made are well prepared, but their basic experimental data are more inclined to develop and improve the toughness of alloy materials, so they allocate part of the funds to develop ultra-high compressive alloys.

The Metal Research Institute of Xijing Jiaotong University applied for the National Science Foundation project, not a horizontal project supported by enterprises, and the funding will definitely be severely limited. The funding they received was more than three times less than that of the alloy material laboratory of Donggang University.

Due to limited funding, each experiment must be carefully calculated, and it is hoped that each experiment can make research progress.

Now the research and development has encountered the most critical problem, because each experiment brings a lot of data, and the data analysis work of the research institute can be said to have no progress. The researchers who specialize in data analysis, the conclusions drawn from the analysis are very important for the experiment. Didn't bring any help.

In fact, similar problems cannot be blamed on researchers.

Data mining is a very complex field, and many conclusions drawn from data mining work are meaningless.

In the face of a huge amount of data, how can it be so easy to find out some rules and promote the experiment to move in the right direction?

For researchers who focus on data mining, every experimental analysis can be said to be a scientific research work to explore the unknown, especially when it involves the field of material research and development. It takes a lot of time and energy to do a lot of data analysis. , may not be as good as the results brought about by a mistake in an experiment and luck.

This kind of analytical work does not mean that progress can be made by hard work.

Foreign material research mainly relies on experience and the manufacturing process and technology accumulated over the years.

The Metal Research Institute of Xijing Jiaotong University still hopes that the data mining work can make progress, which can promote the smooth progress of the experiment and greatly reduce the loss of funds.

After knowing that Navitas Lab had won Skyworth Technology's microsphere project, Professor Peng Hui from the Metal Research Institute talked to Xia Guobin, and Xia Guobin would naturally talk about the data analysis done by Wang Hao, which played a decisive role.

Then Peng Hui asked Xia Guobin to help introduce him, hoping to help the Metal Research Institute to analyze the experimental data.

Wang Hao was silent for a while after listening, and then asked directly, "What are the benefits of my participation in this project? Professor Xia, you should know that this kind of data analysis work is very labor-intensive, and there may not be results."

Xia Guobin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Hao's question. What he was most afraid of was that Wang Hao would resist the project.

It was originally a project in the hands of other people, and it had no direct relationship with him. I just wanted to ask an old friend. If there was a conflict with Wang Hao because of this, it would feel very unworthy.

"I don't know about this either." Xia Guobin said, "I'm just helping to ask. If you're interested, I can let people from the metal laboratory talk about it."

"Okay, we can talk."

Wang Hao agreed without too much hesitation.

He was really interested in the project.

One is that his teaching courses include data mining content, such as probability theory and functional analysis, which are also related to data mining to a certain extent, and doing similar research will be very smooth.

The second is because of the project itself.

Its predecessor was "falling" on the ultra-compressive alloy material project, and was slandered by the alloy laboratory that the data calculation was wrong.

Even if it's just to prove yourself, or to make up for the regrets of the predecessor, you must take over and give it a try.

...

The new data analysis work has to be discussed with the Metal Laboratory of Xijing Jiaotong University, and the main work in the school is still carried out around the Mason Mathematical Sciences Laboratory.

The professors and leaders of the School of Computer Science and the School of Science are all busy, all for the purpose of applying for the establishment of the Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory.

Wang Hao also wrote a related report to help apply for the establishment of a new laboratory, the Mason Mathematical Science Laboratory, which revolves around his research results, which can be said to be his laboratory.

Therefore, his research results on Mersenne primes have also attracted much attention.

Relevant papers have been confirmed to be published in the next issue of "New Advances in Mathematics". The main considerations are the large influence and fast publication speed, and his papers can directly jump in the queue.

Such a big achievement is definitely not just about publishing papers, he also needs to make relevant academic reports, and foreign conferences are not considered for academic reports, because there will be no top-level mathematics conferences to be held in the next six months.

Therefore, Wang Hao still considered publishing the achievement report in China, and he received three invitations for academic reports.

One from the Chinese Mathematical Society, which established a new branch and held an academic report meeting.

The meeting of the Mathematics Society is suitable for publishing results, but the main problem is that it is held a bit late, in April next year, and there are more than four months left.

The other is an invitation to an international conference from Jinkai University.

In the winter vacation season at the end of February, Jinkai University will hold a computer application conference. Considering that it is only a conference in the computer field, the content is relatively inappropriate.

Finally, there was the invitation from Mizuki University.

This invitation is quite rich in gold content. It is an invitation from Academician Qiu Chengwen, a Fields winner. He invited Wang Hao to give a report on the results at the Mathematical Science Center of Shuimu University.

Because I just went to the Mathematical Science Center to give a report, not to hold any academic conference, the report time was relatively free.

Wang Hao was still hesitating.

He is more inclined to make a report at Mizuki University than to be arranged at any meeting.

The latter is relatively troublesome.

However, the time to make the results report, one is to wait for the Mersenne number analysis by Penguin, and the other is to wait for the paper to be published.

Penguin will probably have results soon, and will find an appropriate time to announce the results.

Papers are always due for publication in early January.

Wang Hao is not in a hurry, he still wants to wait until next year to announce the results, and he can also take a proper rest.

In the next few days, he began to live a normal life, and he was not in a hurry to do research. He just attended classes normally, accumulated some inspiration, and read books to accumulate knowledge when he had time.

Although life is relatively dull, the inspiration value is still increasing.

【Task 3: Research on the probability of prime number distribution (difficulty: S).

[Consume the teaching coins, and you can get the probability of the inspiration value related to it. 】

[Inspiration: 36 points. 】

"It's thirty-six o'clock!" Wang Hao was quite satisfied with the inspiration value.

This value does not seem high, but considering the research and development of S-level difficulty, every achievement can be said to be world-class, and thirty points can be said to be very high.

While Wang Hao was living an ordinary life and slowly accumulating inspiration points, Donggang University's investigation team for the alloy material laboratory also made significant progress.

The investigation team checked all the data during the experiment in detail, as well as the "wrong data" submitted by the laboratory, and found that there was nothing wrong with Wang Hao's work.

Chen Jianlin's statement is, "Although there is no problem in the calculation, the data submitted to Professor Ma Wenjun is indeed wrong."

"We have proved through several experiments that the data must be problematic."

This problem troubled the investigation team. A material expert named Qian Minghao spent several hours sorting out the data and finally found the problem.

Qian Minghao thought he had discovered the key, and explained excitedly, "Professor Wang Hao's calculations are indeed correct, but the submitted data itself has problems."

"You can make a careful comparison. These erroneous data are very similar to the other group, but the values ​​​​are also very different."

"One is in the range of 0.1 to 1, and the other is in the range of 0.05 to 0.5." Qian Minghao was talking about the element ratio values ​​of the two sets of data.

The corresponding element content values ​​of the two sets of data are all below 1%, and it is impossible to find the problem without careful inspection or by non-professionals.

Qian Minghao noticed this detail, "Normally speaking, elemental sulfur is an impurity, and its proportion is probably not as high as 0.6%. I just noticed this data and discovered the problem."

The others followed immediately.

If it wasn't for Qian Minghao's introduction, they wouldn't have noticed the problem with this set of data at all, because their main energy was focused on 'Wang Hao's work', that is, the calculation of experimental data, and they didn't find it and submitted it at all. The data itself is problematic.

After careful study, it was discovered that there was indeed a problem with the submitted data, and it should be that the two sets of data were mixed up.

Because of this, when calculating and submitting the data for analysis, a large number of errors will be discovered, which will directly affect the experiment itself.

Qian Minghao was suddenly a little proud. He is a professor of materials at Donggang University of Technology, but his main field is chemical materials, not alloy materials, but he can find problems that no one else can find.

Doesn't this prove that the ability is outstanding?

Others also agreed with Qian Minghao's conclusion. The problem was indeed in the data submission. It should be said that there was a problem with the initial experimental data record and report, and it had nothing to do with Wang Hao's data calculation.

When the investigation team came to a conclusion, it immediately notified the alloy materials laboratory.

Chen Jianlin was surprised when he saw the results of the investigation. It was Qian Minghao who took the initiative to help explain something, and then he suddenly said, "It turns out that this is the case. I have always been surprised that I couldn't find the problem. I thought it was Professor Wang Hao's calculation error, but I didn't expect it! "

He sighed all over his face, "We wronged Professor Wang Hao, really..."

He gritted his teeth, his face full of remorse.

Ma Wenjun also suddenly said, "At that time, I wondered why there were so many data errors. That's right. Wang Hao just joined the laboratory. He is a doctor of mathematics and doesn't know much about material research. It's no wonder that when he first saw the data , can't find the problem."

This sentence explains why the experiment was carried out for three months before the data was found to be problematic.

Wang Hao didn't know much about material research, and he couldn't see the deviation in the initially reported data. After he made the calculations and sent them to Ma Wenjun, they were all the final conclusions, so naturally he couldn't find any problems.

There are two key points, one is that the data reporting is wrong, and the other is that Wang Hao does not understand material research.

The latter is obviously unimportant.

Because Wang Hao's job is to do data summary calculations, it is understandable that the problem of not being able to find the initial data, and there is no error in his own calculation work.

The former must be dealt with.

"Who is responsible for reporting the experimental data?" The head of the investigation team asked directly.

Chen Jianlin stood there for a long time without saying a word, as if mustering up a lot of courage, he finally uttered a name, "...Zhou Xiaolong."

Ma Wenjun explained next to him, "Zhou Xiaolong is a student of Professor Chen, and we have been together for ten or twenty years."

The people in the investigation team suddenly realized.

This matter has become a big deal. Wang Hao was dismissed by the school because of data errors. The key person who investigated the problem will definitely be punished, otherwise there is no way to quell public opinion.

It is impossible to say that Wang Hao was dismissed by the school for his calculation error. Now that it is found out that it is someone else, it will not be dealt with, right?

Definitely dismissed.

"No wonder Professor Chen is like this..." The investigation team immediately understood.

Now that the investigation has the results, the rest of the work is to announce the results. As for Donggang University and the Alloy Materials Laboratory, how to arrange for Zhou Xiaolong who made mistakes has nothing to do with the investigation team.

A group of people huffed and left, chatting and laughing.

Qian Minghao's voice was the loudest, because he felt that he had found the key, he could be said to be the person who contributed the most to the investigation, and he could brag about it when he returned.

In the office inside the laboratory, only Chen Jianlin and Ma Wenjun were left.

The two of them no longer had the surprise and heartache just now. They looked at each other and felt a lot more relaxed.

It's been a long time.

Ma Wenjun said, "Is this really good?"

Chen Jianlin sneered, "What else can I do? I don't want to push Xiaolong out, but if I don't push one out, this matter won't end."

"Will anyone believe that Wang Hao made a mistake when doing the data, and the whole row of data is wrong? The investigation team doesn't believe it."

"Bring Xiaolong out, and this matter can end here. The experimental problem has nothing to do with Wang Hao. The stain on his body is gone. In the future, no matter if he wins Fields or any award, no matter how big he is The results can draw a clear line with us, and no one will talk about the alloy laboratory."

Ma Wenjun followed and nodded.

When Zhou Xiaolong launched it, he not only gave an explanation to the investigation team, but also gave an explanation to the public opinion. It was an error in the initial data report, and it was Chen Jianlin's student, a heavyweight researcher in the Alloy Laboratory, who dug deeper into the error.

Public opinion, what else can you say?

At that time, the school will directly dismiss a professor and a materials researcher, which is enough to satisfy the public opinion, and no one will talk about it in the future.

Ma Wenjun thought about it carefully, and felt that launching Zhou Xiaolong was the best choice. He pondered and continued, "But all our data has been submitted, and this project is suspended. If there is a similar research completed, it will still be difficult to compare the data." problem found."

All the data is fabricated, as long as it is fabricated data, it may be debunked.

"Don't worry."

Chen Jianlin shook his head and said, "Now we, Xijing Jiaotong University, and the Institute of Aeronautical Materials are the only ones working on this project. The Institute of Aeronautical Materials' main direction is to add rare metals to nickel-iron alloys, and super-compressive alloys should be ranked behind."

"Xijing Jiaotong University..."

"With that little funding, what can we research?" Chen Jianlin raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully, "I still know how much Peng Hui has."
