From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Wang Hao's work is too busy.

He had just put down Liu Rongxing's phone and had a few words with Zhang Zhiqiang when there was a knock on the door of the director's office.

"Boom, boom!"

Director Liu Jian of the Finance Department was standing at the door.

"Director Liu, please come in!" Wang Hao raised his head and said quickly.

"Please sit down."

Liu Jian didn't even have time to sit down, so he walked over and asked directly, "Professor Wang, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute just transferred 8 million to the school's account, saying it was a horizontal project fund, do you know about this?"

He was really a little confused.

It felt like I wasn't even prepared, and suddenly Wuhan Iron and Steel Group called 8 million. I just called and said that it was a horizontal fund for Wang Hao.

Horizontal funding?

For Wang Hao alone?

This is beyond Liu Jian's understanding. He has been doing financial work in the school for so long, and this is the first time he has seen a horizontal project for one person, and the funding amount is as high as 8 million yuan.

Liu Jian didn't understand after thinking about it, because there was no communication before, and the money came directly to the account suddenly, just like a salary.

With such a large sum of money involved, he hurried over to find Wang Hao.

Zhang Zhiqiang was stunned by the side. He had just digested a question worth 500,000 yuan, and it quickly became 8 million?

Both looked at Wang Hao together.

Wang Hao nodded and said, "It's a project with the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute. In fact, it's not a project. They asked me to do an analysis, and I will help analyze it. The money is no problem, so let's keep it in the school account first." Well, if I use it, I will go to finance."

"Okay, okay~~"

Liu Jian stared at Wang Hao carefully, still feeling very shocked.

The horizontal expenditure of 8 million is considered a normal figure, but it is somewhat incomprehensible for a project aimed at one person.

What can a person do?

After he was sure there was no problem, he could only leave with doubts.

Zhang Zhiqiang kept staring at Wang Hao and asked, "Wang Hao, eight million for a one-person project? Can you do this project by yourself?"

"Do you want to help?"

He no longer has the mind to compare, the gap in comparison is too big, it is too big to be envious and jealous.

A person may be jealous of colleagues with higher salaries than himself, but he will never be jealous of the company's chairman.

The two sides are not on the same level.

Wang Hao smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I planned to do this project together, but it's still a bit difficult for me."

"But the specific allocation, I still have to study it carefully."

"Okay, I'll just wait."

Zhang Zhiqiang was delighted to hear this, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Eight million!

Even if you only give one percent to yourself, that's a lot of money.

...

Wang Hao is not in a hurry to do the project of WISCO Research Institute. The complex analysis of a large amount of experimental data cannot be completed in a short time.

He still looked at the things Liu Rongxing sent.

What Liu Rongxing sent was a file, which contained a lot of complicated calculation formulas and functions.

The document does not specify what it is, but it is explained in a mathematical way, asking whether it is possible to use instantaneous force to realize the curve correction of the function.

"This question is a bit complicated?"

Wang Hao looked at it roughly, and knew that the problem was very complicated.

It talks about the three-dimensional function correction, and it also involves the knowledge of fluid mechanics and conventional physics. Generally speaking, it is necessary to correct a "transformed three-dimensional function" so that it is close to the curved track path before the transformation.

"This kind of correction relies on an instantaneous burst of force, or a short-term continuous change, but the ultimate goal is to perform a curve correction."

"The difficulty lies in the calculation. The function that has changed its trajectory must be corrected to the original function trajectory, and it is a three-dimensional function..."

"It's very difficult!"

"This five hundred thousand is really hard to get!"

Although the other party just wants to know whether it can be realized, but to determine whether it can be realized, it still needs to conduct a certain analysis before answering.

Analysis is the most difficult.

"But what is the purpose of the function to correct the trajectory?" Wang Hao frowned slightly and thought about it carefully. His mind was linked to Liu Rongxing, aerospace, rockets, and then he went to Lenovo to find the answer.

aerospace?

Rocket?

missile!

Ballistic missiles to be precise!

There are two types of missiles today, one is cruise missiles and the other is ballistic missiles. The difference between the two types of missiles lies in their power.

Cruise missiles are equipped with aero engines, which can take off, change orbit, and cruise like normal aircraft; while ballistic missiles are like rockets, which are driven by high-speed fuel to operate.

Cruise missiles are relatively more flexible, but because they need to be loaded with aero engines, they are much worse in terms of strike range and payload.

Ballistic missiles are equivalent to attaching warheads to rockets, and the highest strike range can exceed 10,000 kilometers. The disadvantage is that they are not flexible enough.

Therefore, the trajectory change of ballistic missiles has always been a very important research and development direction.

"So, this is likely to be the problem of the ballistic missile's orbit change?"

Wang Hao was thinking for a while and suddenly became a little worried, but then he simply shook his head, "Whatever, I'm just doing math research anyway."

"It's just a math problem. I don't care what it is used for. The ns equation will also be applied to the manufacture of fighter jets and submarines."

"A lot of scientific research will be used in related fields, and there is no way."

He simply continued to study.

Soon Wang Hao found that he couldn't give an answer for a while, because it involved content beyond the scope of his ability.

He is indeed a top mathematician, but there are many categories of mathematics.

One of the areas Wang Hao is good at is related to number theory, including analytic number theory and probability number theory, and the other is mathematical analysis. He is proficient in functional analysis and discrete mathematics.

Finally, there are partial differential equations.

Now the content in the file involves advanced function theory and computational mathematics. He has dabbled in both functional theory and computational mathematics, but it is absolutely impossible to say how proficient he is.

In these two directions, he did not have top-level results, and he only applied some related methods in other research.

at the same time.

In an office in the headquarters building of the space agency, Liu Rongxing was talking face to face with a middle-aged man in military uniform.

The middle-aged man is Zheng Guofeng, a professor at the First National Defense University and a famous rocket ballistic expert.

Zheng Guofeng was talking, "Now we are talking about this issue, which mainly involves future research and development and improvement directions."

"In terms of missile orbit change, maneuver gliding technology already exists, but other countries are also developing this technology, so it's hard to say how effective it will be."

"The most important thing is that it is very difficult for our missiles to have a chance to be tested. Once it is actually tested, we don't know what effect it will have."

"So, we still want to research new ways to change orbits, such as instantaneous burst thrust, or unilateral thrust."

"A lot of arguments have been made in this area, but there are no definite conclusions."

Zheng Guofeng couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke.

Liu Rongxing said, "Professor Zheng, you don't have to worry. I recommend Wang Hao to you. There must be no problem. He is the number one in domestic mathematics. Even in the world, no one dares to say he is better than him."

Zheng Guofeng was still a little worried, "Wang Hao is good at number theory and differential equations, are you sure he can do it?"

"It's definitely fine."

Liu Rongxing patted his chest and said, "I know Professor Wang too well, as long as it is a math problem, he can definitely solve it!"

"What's more, we don't want him to give a solution, but just give his judgment and opinion on this issue."

"Right!"

Zheng Guofeng listened and nodded, "I still believe in Professor Wang's mathematics level. To be able to complete Goldbach's conjecture must be that kind of super genius, that's right..."

He said with a wry smile, "Professor Wang's fee is really too high."

"It can't be helped." Liu Rongxing said, "Whatever the level is, the price is what it is. Five hundred thousand sounds like a lot. You don't know, many institutions are rushing to let Wang Hao go."

"That's right."

Zheng Guofeng nodded in agreement, some top scholars are indeed worth the price.

If Wang Hao can give a definite answer, the 'consultation fee' of 500,000 yuan is really cheap, and they can avoid detours and go straight to the goal.

...

If Wang Hao knew that Liu Rongxing had such confidence in him, he might be very moved, because he really couldn't give a definite answer to the questions in the document at his current level.

But he still conducts careful research on the problem.

Wang Hao felt that 500,000 was too little, but he had already accepted the 'order', so he had to satisfy the 'customer'.

Customers are God!

Only by establishing a good problem-solving personality can we receive more orders.

Make money, that's all.

After studying for a while, he simply created the task.

【Task 3】

【Research Project Name: Trajectory Correction of 3D Functions (Difficulty: A). 】

[Inspiration value: 0. 】

"Difficulty A? It's okay..." Wang Hao breathed out lightly.

The difficulty in solving this problem is that his research on function theory and computational mathematics is far from in-depth.

If it is an s-level difficulty, it will be too difficult to complete, and the lowest estimate will take more than a few months.

It's just A-level difficulty, which is relatively easy.

Wang Hao thought about it and found some information.

This is also an opportunity for him to improve himself.

His previous research was in number theory and partial differential equations, but now he is expanding his field, hoping to make progress in function theory and computational mathematics.

Then you need to add a lot of knowledge and have a deeper understanding of the foundation.

How to do it?

lecture!

Wang Hao's two courses are "Complex Analysis" and "Nonlinear Functional Analysis", which obviously have nothing to do with function theory and computational mathematics.

He thought about it and decided to teach his graduate students.

"Yes! Just do it!"

"Everyone learns and progresses together..."

"You should also give more lectures to your students!"

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Hao thought it made sense. His way of being a tutor has always been to answer students' questions, but he didn't take the initiative to talk about anything.

It is also a good way to talk about something occasionally, even if the content of the talk has nothing to do with the main direction, it is also good for students to dabble in more knowledge.

When he does research, he also involves function theory and computational mathematics.

The sub-disciplines of mathematics are all interrelated. Even in the research of number theory and partial differential equations, some methods will involve other content, especially the methods of function theory are used a lot.

After thinking about it, he called Xu Chao and asked him to inform the others that every day at 12:30 noon or in the afternoon, he would find time to hold a small class and talk about something.

After Xu Chao heard this, he immediately notified the others.

Soon everyone in the Mason Lab knew about it.

Wang Hao originally planned to give lectures to his graduate students in mathematics, but at noon, many students from the laboratory came, including several professors, associate professors and doctoral students upstairs.

This also resulted in the small conference room being packed.

Of course, the number of people in the classroom is still small, but the total number of people is more than thirty.

Wang Hao twitched his lips, and first reminded him, "I'm just giving lectures to my students, and the lectures include some basic content. You can come and listen to it if you want, but some content may not be helpful."

"I just hope that students can learn more about knowledge and methods in other directions."

Qi Xiao immediately helped the students express their opinions, "Professor Wang, tell me, we just follow along."

"Yes, let's talk!"

"It's okay to talk about the most basic knowledge. I like listening to your lectures the most. Your lectures are much better than others, and it is easy to understand and remember."

"..."

Faced with such enthusiastic attitudes from professors and students, Wang Hao could only be forced to speak.

What he first talked about was indeed the basic content. He made a basic summary of real variable functions, and the follow-up plan made a systematic summary of the knowledge of single complex variable functions and multiple complex variable functions.

In the process of continuous explanation, on the one hand, it can deepen the scope of students' knowledge, and on the other hand, it can improve their understanding of knowledge.

This is a win-win situation!

The explanations in the first class are systematic summaries, because many of the lecturers are doctoral students, and even postgraduates are very good, and many of the knowledge they understand are just passed through.

Therefore, the pace of Wang Hao's lectures is very fast.

Even so, the students feel that they have gained a lot, and they feel that they have a deeper understanding of the content of the function direction.

For the next week, Wang Hao insisted on giving lectures to the students every day, and he would choose a time that did not conflict with the course.

Either at noon, in the afternoon, or occasionally in the morning.

The time is not fixed.

On weekends, there will be two hours of explanations every day.

The main content of his explanation is the theory of functions. From the basics at the beginning, he gradually deepened it, and the speed of explanation slowed down after he went deeper.

During this process, Wang Hao also felt that his knowledge had accumulated and his understanding of the basics had deepened.

At the same time, I also feel that it is still very beneficial for me to do an explanation once in a while.

Mathematics contains too much content, and there can be more than a dozen or twenty types of related sub-disciplines. It is impossible for a normal person to cover all the content.

The same is true for Wang Hao.

Now he plans to use lectures to continue in-depth understanding and research in function theory and computational mathematics.

at the same time.

Newly created missions also continue to gain inspiration.

【Task 3】

[Inspiration value: 59. 】

"It's very fast!"

It took Wang Hao about two weeks, and the inspiration value has exceeded half.

This value shows that the foundation is sufficient, and careful research is still needed to solve the problem. With a general direction, the inspiration value can increase rapidly.

He has already thought about the main research idea, which is to connect specific functions through the calculation of a series of equations.

The calculation of partial differential equations is exactly his field of expertise.

"First substitute in the values ​​for calculation."

"If a problem can be solved, it means that there is no problem in this direction."

"If the problem is too complex to be judged by conventional calculations, there must be a problem with this direction."

Wang Hao was thinking, and suddenly realized a key problem, "It's not right!"

"Although I am studying the possibility of realizing the problem..."

"However, it seems like it's not just an answer to whether it can be achieved, but also a possible solution?"

"this……"

"Should I charge more?"
