From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Chapter 584 Confidence 4σ, new physical discovery, the most important step in space technology!

Research on gravitational fields began.

The radiation testing experiment of Shen Huiming's team is a long-term work. They need to conduct radiation testing at various frequencies in three different environments.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, each measurement requires precise processing of the data to eliminate interference from external environmental factors.

Wang Hao led the research team to conduct theoretical research. They needed to construct underlying mathematical theories to structure the understanding of space.

Theoretical work is very complex.

The only thing they are sure of is that the experiment has created a gravitational field. The assumed condition is that the gravitational field is generated by creating space. The first thing to solve is how radiation expands space.

Because there is no substitution factor in between, the two are not even related at all.

Although there are many theories that believe that space will exist if particles exist, in fact, they are only definitions and there is no relevant mathematical analysis.

Their work is to combine experiments and use the underlying annihilation theory to construct factors related to space, that is, to explain from the side why space appears when there are particles, and then use special radiation to analyze the problem of space expansion.

The whole process is to describe something that is completely incomprehensible, to extend the attributes of the target with various understandable contents, and to perform some description work.

In fact, it is similar to the meaning of a blind man touching an elephant. The blind man does not know what an elephant is specifically, so he can only understand the elephant through touching and touch. It is very difficult to understand all of it. It is already amazing to understand part of it and describe it.

This work lasted for three months.

In three months, Wang Hao led his research team to do theoretical work. His work was still very busy. He also went to the light pressure engine project base to check the progress of the research and brought back some Paul Phil-Jones.

In fact, Wang Hao had no intention of bringing Paul Phil Jones back, because Paul Phil Jones' work at the experimental base was also very important.

He not only designs the appearance of the spacecraft, but also involves other aspects of work. He is one of the leaders of the electronics group and the direct person in charge of the mathematics group. Many tasks have to be done on him.

However, Paul Phil-Jones applied and shamelessly insisted on coming back.

Wang Hao was very depressed because of the entanglement. Thinking that there was indeed a shortage of people in the research, he decided to bring back Paul Phil-Jones.

Paul Phil-Jones always thought that Wang Hao was studying wormhole technology. When he came back, he found out that he was studying gravitational fields. He was still a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

It is too early to talk about wormhole technology now, and their technological foundation is not relevant at all.

There seems to be some hope for the gravitational field.

After joining the research, he was immediately immersed in it and found that his idea was correct, because gravity is directly related to space issues, and wormhole technology can also be understood as space technology.

The control of gravitational field-related space is equivalent to opening a door for space technology, and the subsequent development prospects are very broad.

The first step in any technology is the most difficult.

For example, gunpowder technology.

With gunpowder technology as the basis, black powder, artillery, and bombs can be manufactured in the future, and developed to the current high-tech weapons. However, after all, most weapons still have the shadow of the most basic gunpowder technology.

If we can complete the study of the gravitational field correlation space, we can then expand our research into more advanced technologies.

Wormhole…

It seems not far away?

…

Research continues.

Shen Huiming's team routinely submitted new experimental data. This was the sixth time they submitted data, and the data submitted each time was very large.

Shen Huiming's team is responsible for experiments, while the specific data analysis work is left to the analysis team.

The analysis team is a collaboration with the Radar Research Institute.

The Radar Research Institute has a dedicated radiation research office. The director of the office, Mu Sheng, is a very famous microwave radiation expert and is also very good at organizing and analyzing data. His team is relatively strong.

Wang Hao handed over the data analysis work to Mu Sheng.

In fact, he did not expect Mu Sheng's team to produce results, but he just hoped that they could do some preliminary analysis and draw some simple conclusions.

Even though he had low expectations for Mu Sheng's team, he did not expect that the other party spent more than three months and failed to submit any report on the conclusion.

He decided to give Mu Sheng's team another chance.

Radar Institute.

Mu Sheng was sitting in the office, checking the newly submitted data by Shen Huiming's team. After just a few casual glances, he knew that the data was similar to the last time, and there was nothing surprising about it.

He said to Zhang Yang with some distress, "Professor Zhang, it's like this again. I feel that this cooperative research has no hope at all."

"We analyzed a lot and used various methods. Although we found deviations, they were all within the error range."

"Professor Ding Zhiqiang said to use the comparative method, but we have compared and compared, and I have no results. The data are very similar."

"Those big deviations are all experimental and environmental influences."

"It is too difficult to distinguish between environmental effects and radiation factors, unless it is possible to create an environment without radiation at all, but..."

Mu Sheng said that this was just shaking his head, and he had given up hope in data analysis work.

Zhang Yang said, "There is indeed no result, but this is a project that Academician Wang values ​​​​and at that time we only got the project because of Professor Shen's recommendation."

"It's not good to give up like this."

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "Of course we are not giving up directly. We still have to continue to study, but will there be any results..."

"Alas~~"

He said with a long sigh.

the other side.

Wang Hao waited and waited, but still did not wait for Mu Sheng to submit the results. More than three months had passed. He just called to ask, and heard Mu Sheng complaining about how difficult the analysis work was and how complicated the data was. such as.

He sighed and said, "Let's do this, Professor Mu, you send a team over and we can do the analysis ourselves."

"no problem."

Mu Sheng quickly agreed.

The project is a collaboration between them and the Anti-Gravity Center, and the Anti-Gravity Center is responsible for the funding. If he gave up the research, the project would be gone, and it would also leave him with another 'unfinished research'.

Now Wang Hao said that if he sends the team over, it means that the cooperation is still going on, and there is no loss for them.

Mu Sheng thought about it and decided to continue sitting in the office because he felt that the data analysis work was impossible to produce results, and he did not want to travel for such a long time.

"Professor Zhang, you and Professor Zhou should lead the team there together."

After Mu Sheng made his decision, he asked Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina. Both Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina were excellent data mining experts and two generals of the Radiation Office. Sending them to lead a team was enough to represent their attention. .

Before Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina left, Mu Sheng said with concern, "After you go there, everything will be subject to Academician Wang's arrangements. You can do whatever you are told."

"Whether the research has results or not is not important, but we must work hard and show others the level of our office. We cannot say that we have cooperated with Academician Wang once and have not researched anything yet, and our ability has been questioned..."

Mu Sheng kept talking a lot.

Zhou Lina couldn't help but say, "Professor Mu, are you waiting to make sure that nothing can be found? What if there is a result, it will be Academician Wang."

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure that the research can't be done. Even if the research is done, the results won't be available in a short time."

"I estimate that if Academician Wang pays enough attention to the project, you may stay here for several months or a year."

"Work hard!"

…

Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina brought their team to Xihai University. They also brought with them the contents of experimental materials, which were their results in the past three months.

Although the analysis does not have any results, the research process will also be helpful for subsequent work.

Wang Hao met Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina, asked them to leave the experimental materials, and then let them leave to rest.

Then he thought about it and created a new task.

【Task 5】

[Research project name: Radiation data analysis on spatial expansion (Difficulty: A). 】

[Inspiration value: 0. 】

"A-level?"

"It seems that it is still difficult. No wonder the radar station has no results..."

Wang Hao shook his head as he spoke.

Level A is still very difficult, but it is also divided into research types. It is just data analysis, not technical expansion. With a certain foundation, research will become very easy.

The next day, Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina came to formally report.

Wang Hao did not explain the work of other members of the team, but asked Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina to help explain their research materials. The explanation lasted for a whole day, and Wang Hao and Paul followed to understand and analyze.

In this process, the inspiration value increased by thirty points.

Wang Hao and Paul Phil-Jones compiled the information, and also found a team from the Radar Institute to come over and set up a temporary research group.

The next step is to arrange the work.

Wang Hao assigned a lot of data analogy work to the research team, including some code compilation work.

Zhang Yang and Zhou Lina's team felt that they were not here to do brand-new research, but as if they were working in a company. They did not need to innovate or think. They only needed to complete the fixed tasks assigned by their superiors.

Some of them feel like programmers, some feel like data recorders, and some simply use software to continuously arrange data.

The accumulation of these most basic tasks creates a lot of new data.

Four days later.

Wang Hao had completed the main analysis program, and he and Paul Phil Jones went to the calculation room on the top floor of the Mason Number Laboratory.

There is a supercomputer there.

They used supercomputers to perform data verification and obtained a large amount of brand new data, and then began various calculations.

The work becomes more difficult at this time.

Because various types of calculations all involve advanced mathematics, Wang Hao temporarily found a few students, plus Zhang Zhiqiang, Luo Dayong and others. In order to complete the calculation work as quickly as possible, he even found the School of Science and asked several mathematics students to complete the calculation work as quickly as possible. The professor helped with some of the work.

The calculations lasted three days.

After a series of complicated calculations, Wang Hao went to the calculation room again, transferred the data to the computer, and completed the final step of analysis.

…

Zhang Jian and Zhou Lina's team have been here for nearly ten days. They have been doing the lowest level work, and there was nothing to do in the next two days.

They were sitting in the office chatting, and even talked about going to the area around the West Sea when they had time, because they really had nothing to do.

At this time, I heard a shout from outside, "Professor Zhang, Professor Zhou, Academician Wang is calling you to come over for a meeting."

"Meeting?"

Zhang Jian and Zhou Lina looked at each other and hurried to the conference room on the first floor.

As they walked quickly, they asked strangely, "Why is there a meeting suddenly? Are you going to hand over new work?"

"But that's right, I've been too busy these two days."

"It seems that our travel plan has been ruined..."

"I just listened to what you said, and I didn't even want to go. What if Academician Wang can't find anyone after going?"

"Haha~~"

As they walked into the conference room, they saw Wang Hao already sitting in the main seat, and several data curves were displayed on the projection screen.

Wang Hao nodded towards the two of them and asked, "Are you all here?" There were people participating in the research present.

After he finished speaking, he walked to the stage, pointed the pointing stick at the bottom image, "Look at this, it's our result."

"We can see that regular bumps appear on this curve. Every time it passes the 2.76 interval, a bump will appear."

"The bump values ​​of the bumps are also within the deviation range."

"This is a fixed pattern, so we think it means that a new and special radiation has been detected."

Everyone in the conference room was shocked.

They participated in the study of what the bumps of fixed laws of natural knowledge represent. Fixed laws and fixed deviation data mean that special radiation points have been found, and the frequency and intensity range of radiation can even be measured.

Zhang Yang immediately asked, "Academician Wang, have you calculated the credibility?"

Wang Hao nodded, "It's about 4σ. Professor Jones and I did the calculation together and got the same result."

This sentence makes people even more surprised.

The physics community has always used 5σ as the confidence standard for determining a physical discovery, and 4σ is already very close to 5σ.

Conventionally, a discovery exceeding 2σ is enough to publish the result in an academic journal because it is very likely.

4σ can be defined as ‘a physical discovery that is extremely likely to exist’.

After Wang Hao finished talking about the confidence level, he continued, "The reason why the confidence level is all 4σ is because the experimental data is not enough. When Professor Shen's team submits the next data, we are doing the same calculation, and I believe the confidence level can be improved to 5σ.”

"At that time, we will be able to confirm that it is a clear physical discovery."

His words were very plain, but the content he said was very shocking.

The reason why it was dull was because Wang Hao already knew the result, and it was just an experimental verification.

What he wants to know more is the specific properties and data of radiation.

Only when the range of radiation is clarified can specific data be measured, so it still needs to go through the steps of experimental analysis.

Others were shocked by the results.

Even Paul Phil-Jones, who knew the results early, was still very excited because he knew very well that the analyzed results were not only for the research itself, but also represented that they had taken the most important step in the field of space technology!
