I Am the President of the University

Edward, as a professor at Princeton University, what genius has he not seen?

​​

But something like Lu Zhou is really rare!

​​

For example, for a question type, he already understood it before he finished speaking.

​​

Some of the questions asked, even he took some time to think.

​​

As for the question of [x3+y3+z3=33], even if he didn't help to check and fill in the gaps, Lu Zhou could still solve it by himself, it just took a little more time.

​​

And now, Lu Zhou has written down all the problem-solving algorithms.

​​

Professor Edward couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

​​

"Oh, Lu, you are a genius!"

​​

Thinking of the huge amount of computing power needed, Professor Edward said enthusiastically: "Lu, as for the final calculation, a lot of computers are needed. If there is a supercomputer, it will save a lot of time."

​​

"Yes, I'm talking about the John Norman Supercomputer Research Center. Although you are not our student yet, I think Professor Isgrubb will be happy to help."

​​

"After all, it is a blessing for the mathematics community to help solve this mathematical problem."

​​

The John Norman Supercomputer Research Center is a scientific research institution within Princeton University. Professors on campus can use this supercomputer to complete some calculations or test models.

​​

Lu Zhou is not from Princeton University yet, but the first day he and Lu Zhou met, the agreement was reached, and the task assigned to him by the principal was successfully completed.

​​

It's just that Lu Zhou's refusal really surprised him.

​​

"Professor Edward, thank you very much for your help, but you don't need to trouble you with this."

​​

"Why?" Professor Edward's eyes widened, incomprehensible.

​​

"Our principal has already solved it." Lu Zhou had no choice but to explain.

​​

"Does your school have super calculation??"

​​

"No, it's our country's Taihu Light supercomputing."

​​

"Light of Taihu Lake, this is really good."

​​

Professor Edward nodded. As a supercomputer with the fourth largest computing power in the world, TaihuLight was like an anti-aircraft gun attacking mosquitoes to solve Lu Zhou's calculation problem.

​​

But at this time, there was a knock at the door.

​​

Lu Zhou went to open the door, and Mrs. Davis was standing outside the door.

​​

"Lu, Professor Edward, I made some snacks." Mrs. Davis smiled and handed the plate to Lu Zhou.

​​

On top were two hot cups of coffee and two sandwiches that looked like they were made.

​​

Lu Zhou's heart warmed, and he said, "Mrs. Davis, you don't need to be so troublesome."

​​

Mrs. Davis smiled and joked: "Oh, that's not good, how can I let the future Fields Medal winner have a bad summer vacation experience, Lu, do you think so?"

​​

After hearing this, Lu Zhou was helpless.

​​

When Professor Edward left yesterday, he told the Davis and his wife that Lu Zhou would become a Fields Medal winner. The Davis and his wife were particularly excited.

​​

Professor Edward is from Princeton University. Although he is not as good as the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, he is also an old and famous school with high credibility.

​​

And intellectuals, of course, are not unaware of the Fields Medal, which is the highest award in mathematics, equivalent to the Nobel Prize.

​​

Thinking of the future Fields Medal winner who came to their house for boarding, the two of them were like chicken blood, and they treated Lu Zhou more caringly than their own son.

​​

"Mrs. Davis, thank you." Lu Zhou had no choice but to accept the other's kindness.

​​

After returning to his seat and having a supper with Professor Edward, Professor Edward also resigned and left.

​​

He was originally entrusted by the principal, Professor Isgrubb, to test Lu Zhou's level, but he did not expect to receive such a big surprise.

​​

So, he temporarily stayed in Cambridge for a few days to help Lu Zhou complete the algorithm of this problem.

​​

Now it's done, and he's going back to Princeton.

​​

After sending Professor Edward away, Lu Zhou calculated the time difference, it was morning in the country now.

​​

So he called the principal, and the TaihuLight supercomputer that I contacted before needs to be used now.

​​

……

​​

Office of the President of Guanghua University.

​​

Chen Hao didn't wait for Zheng Qiang, but Lu Zhou came first.

​​

"The Light of Taihu can be used at any time, you can just ask Assistant Jiang (Jiang Yaning), I told her."

​​

"Well, it's fine, you can just study at mit with peace of mind, and come to me when you encounter difficulties."

​​

Just after hanging up, there was a knock on the door.

​​

"Please come in."

​​

It was Zheng Qiang who came in.

​​

"Principal, are you looking for me for something?"

​​

"Old Zheng, I have good news for you." Chen Hao smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zheng Qiang.

​​

"What good news?" Zheng Qiang asked.

​​

"I have received news that the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education have approved the project for the National Laboratory of Guanghua University."

​​

"Really?!" Zheng Qiang couldn't care about drinking tea, so he hurriedly asked, "Is it one or two?"

​​

Chen Hao mentioned this to him before, but he didn't hold out much hope.

​​

After all, [National Laboratory] and [National Key Laboratory] are only two words apart on the surface, but in fact the difference is huge!

​​

For example, the declaration requirements of Guozhong:

​​

1. Only limited to mainland universities and research institutes;

​​

2. Departmental or local key laboratories that have been operating and opened to the public for more than 2 years;

​​

3. The laboratory has a high-level scientific research team, which can meet the needs of participating in international competition and undertaking major national scientific research tasks;

​​

4. The laboratory has a good disciplinary foundation, relies on at least one secondary discipline construction, and has the right to confer doctoral degrees. The main supporting disciplines relying on the laboratories of colleges and universities should be national key disciplines.

​​

5. The laboratory has good scientific research and experimental conditions. The scientific research buildings are concentrated, with an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters, and the instruments and equipment basically meet the needs of scientific research, with a total value of more than 25 million yuan.

6. The supporting units and competent departments of the laboratory shall provide various conditions and guarantees, and promise to invest more than 20 million yuan in the purchase of instruments and equipment during the construction period.

​​

Everything else is easy to say. For points 2 and 4, Guanghua University does not have a laboratory that can meet the application requirements of the State Heavy Industry, but the special affairs office of the state directly opens the green channel.

​​

This is to eat the dividends of photonic screens and optical cores, and it is impossible to enjoy such treatment in any other university.

​​

Guozhong's basic standards are not up to standard, let alone the national laboratory.

​​

Unexpectedly, it was really successful!

​​

"Two, [National Laboratory for Advanced Materials and Semiconductors] and [National Laboratory for Vacuum Rail Transit] passed," Chen Hao said regretfully: "Unfortunately, [National Laboratory for Energy Science and Power] did not pass, but Guanghua has three national laboratories."

​​

In fact, Chen Hao declared three, and the remaining one [National Laboratory of Energy Science and Power] is mainly based on the lithium-air battery technology laboratory.

​​

But failure is also normal. After all, the photonic screen and the optical core have succeeded, and another feasible scheme for the hyperloop has also been approved by the central government.

​​

On the contrary, it is a lithium-air battery, which is still under research, and there is no breakthrough. Of course, the country will not agree.

​​

Hearing Chen Hao's dissatisfaction, Zheng Qiang's mouth twitched, "Principal, are you filling a cup..."

​​

"This is a national laboratory! There are only five in China, and there is only one University of Science and Technology with a national laboratory!"

​​

Zheng Qiang, who was talking excitedly, suddenly thought of something, as if he had poured a basin of cold water.

​​

He worried: "Although the project has been approved, it is only under preparation. I'm afraid that the word [chip] will not be removed later."

​​

The normal process of establishing a national laboratory is: first approve the project to become a national laboratory (in preparation), and then pass the assessment to become an official national laboratory.

​​

And this test is quite difficult!

​​

It must first pass the evaluation of the Ministry of Education, and then pass the acceptance of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and finally it will be considered a success.

​​

Because the administrative department of the national laboratory is the Ministry of Education, and the macro-level department is the Ministry of Science and Technology, involving two ministries and commissions, it can be seen that the difficulty is high.

​​

The six national laboratories declared in 2006 have been in preparation for more than ten years, but they still failed the assessment in 2017, and were finally downgraded to national research centers.

​​

"This is not a big problem. In these two fields, we are far ahead even in the world, not to mention domestic ones." Chen Hao said firmly.

​​

In the fields of photonic technology and vacuum tubes, Guanghua University is at least ten years ahead of the world!

​​

It is not only unique in the country, but also unique in the world. It is impossible to fail the final assessment.

​​

However, this pass made Chen Hao think of one thing.

​​

Maybe... the country is about to let go of this standard.

​​

This is also the reason why he called Zheng Qiang.

​​

"Lao Zheng, I remember you worked at Zhejiang University, right?"

​​

"Yes, what's wrong?" Zheng Qiang looked stunned, isn't this all old Huang Li?

​​

Zheng Qiang is a native of Hu province, but grew up in a mountain city. He graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Zhejiang University with a bachelor's degree, a master's degree from Chengdu University of Science and Technology, and a doctorate from Sichuan University, under the tutelage of Professor Xu Xi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

​​

After studying abroad and returning to China, he worked successively in Zhejiang University, Guizhou University, and Taiyuan University of Technology. The longest time was Zhejiang University.

​​

"I guess the state should let go of the standards for the national laboratory and vigorously support and promote it."

​​

Chen Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Isn't there a vigorous development of local laboratories across the country in recent years? Isn't there a Zhijiang laboratory in Zhejiang Province, how much do you know about these local laboratories?"

​​

In 2006, a total of six units applied for national laboratories, namely:

​​

Beijing National Laboratory for Condensed Matter Physics (in preparation) - Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences;

​​

Luzhou National Laboratory for Microscale Matter Science (in preparation) - University of Science and Technology of China;

​​

Tsinghua National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology (in preparation) - Tsinghua University;

​​

Beijing National Laboratory for Molecular Science (in preparation) - bj University, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences;

​​

Jiangcheng National Laboratory of Optoelectronics (in preparation) - too many, omitted.

​​

But in fact...the six major laboratories are actually allocating some resources from various departments of the school, and putting them together is called preparing to build a national laboratory.

​​

Moreover, some national laboratories are still paper-oriented, and the evaluation index is still based on the number of papers. It is self-evident how many irrigation papers are among them.

​​

What the national laboratory needs is to stand upright and truly solve major domestic scientific research problems, so it is normal for the six major laboratories that have made a big move to try to "raise" for more than ten years and fail.

​​

Then it is very interesting that ~www.NovelMTL.com~ hit the year when the "funding" failed, that is, in 2017, many provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen invested heavily, hired academic "big names", and even led Personally "in charge", eager to hit the new round of national laboratories.

​​

…………

​​

I haven't finished writing yet, just wait a moment.

​​

First, this kind of hyperloop solves the problem of delayed flight due to weather and other reasons. second. Some middle-aged and elderly people can't stand the dizziness caused by the fluctuation of airflow when they fly. Third, whether its price will be cheaper than an airplane is a more critical point. Fourth, for business people, price is not the most sensitive. The key point is time and whether it is delayed.

​​

It is impossible to use the brakes at extremely high speeds, because emergency braking at extremely high speeds will cause people to die instantly, so they can only use air resistance to slow down and then brake. This process will take a while. //Maglev train uses electric current to control the train to move at extreme speed, and of course it also uses electric current to make it stop moving in the opposite direction.

​​

Another benefit of vacuum is noise isolation

​​

How can I get on and off the train and pull several people at one stop? There is no midway pick-up and drop-off in the middle of the plane, which is estimated to be similar to the operation of the plane.

​​

Magnetic levitation in a vacuum has no friction (no solid gas), so it is normal for the speed to exceed any aircraft

​​

It is a low pressure, and it is impossible to achieve a vacuum at all. If you do a vacuum, it will be a challenge for the pipeline material, and it is also a challenge for the train material.
