I really just want to be a scholar

Chapter 816 I am skeptical about handing over the highest command of research to them
After the two parties signed the special contract, Professor Goldberg took out an encrypted USB flash drive and handed it to Qin Ke: "Academician Qin, the data of extreme high-altitude abnormal airflows that have occurred in various European member states in the past six months and all our recent research The results are all here, and I will trouble you two next."

Qin Ke took over the encrypted USB flash drive and said solemnly: "Professor Goldberg, don't worry, we will complete the preliminary review of the materials and formulate specific scientific research plans as quickly as possible. Please wait for the news."

"Then please leave it to the two of you!" After bowing deeply to the two young men, the gray-haired Professor Goldberg quickly left Sweden with his secretary and flew back to the headquarters of the European Meteorological Center in Eagle Country.

Along the way, he was always feeling a little uneasy, and at the same time, he was looking forward to the fact that the pair of great scientists who were rumored to "constantly create miracles" could really solve this extremely difficult problem for them and for the European Meteorological Center.

……

Qin Ke also felt the pressure for the trust and entrustment of the European Meteorological Center and Professor Goldberg. This time it was really time-sensitive and heavy-duty.

But this is also the best opportunity. Once he and Ning Qingyun can help the European Meteorological Center solve this big problem, it will establish a very high authority in the meteorological departments of European countries, whether it is to realize the sharing of meteorological data or to form a joint project in the future. Leading a "Global Extreme Climate Phenomena Response Team" will be of great benefit.

Then do it well!

This time, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun plan to stay in Sweden for about a week, mainly to let the relatives and friends have a good time to travel. Qin Ke and the two originally planned to visit the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for a few days. There are many precious materials there that are worth borrowing As for traveling, they are not very interested. Firstly, Ning Qingjun's current physical condition is inconvenient to run around, and to avoid increasing the pressure of guards on Wei Feng, Wei Jing and others. Second, they have visited Sweden quite a few times. , The sights that should be visited are enough.

Now that they have accepted the cooperation invitation from the European Meteorological Center, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun returned to the hotel after spending half a day at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and began to tacitly devote themselves to this large-scale scientific research cooperation project.

In order to modify the PPT used for the report at any time, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun also brought a laptop when they went abroad this time, which is convenient to directly read the contents of the USB flash drive and understand the current "Extreme Abnormal Airflow at High Altitude in Europe" by the European Meteorological Center. Disaster Response" project.

The amount of data is not very large, about 500G, because there are only specific data related to extreme abnormal airflow at high altitudes in the past half a year, and these data have completed the preliminary sorting and screening process, and it is not too much to do a second combing in the future Wasting time.

Although the research results of several research groups are very few, the recording work is very detailed, and it can be seen at a glance what they have done in what direction and what difficulties they have encountered.

Qin Ke had to sigh that the European Meteorological Center is indeed a meteorological scientific research organization known as the "world's top" with the most advanced numerical weather prediction system in the world so far. It is indeed ahead of Xia Guo's meteorological research department in all aspects too much.

For example, the meteorological data collection and satellite data work carried out by the European Meteorological Center in cooperation with the European Meteorological Satellite Development Organization, whether it is the accuracy of the data or the accuracy of the data, is obviously better than Xiaguo. For the analysis and processing of big data Although it seems a little slow to respond, it is orderly, especially the search using AI for meteorological data analysis is at the forefront of the world.

On the other hand, in Xiaguo, it was not until a month ago that Petal Company launched the first AI weather forecasting model - "Pangu Meteorological Model". It still needs hard work and hard work before putting it into actual weather forecasting.

The European Meteorological Center is more meticulous and rigorous in the log records and report documents of scientific research work. Each report is signed by several people, which not only avoids low-level mistakes, but also ensures that it will not be affected by anyone's random modification of the content. to the accuracy of the report.

This is the extremely standardized working system and workflow that has been established for nearly 50 years and has provided real-time mid-range weather forecasts for European member states for a long time. It is really beyond the reach of ordinary laboratory research.

Qin Ke felt that many advantages were worth learning from and brought them back to the domestic research laboratories managed by himself.

Of course, there are also many problems in the European Meteorological Center, which can be seen clearly from these data.

For example, the European Meteorological Center pays great attention to the specialization of disciplines and the refinement of the division of labor, but is not good at the linkage between disciplines, which will inevitably affect the efficiency.

For example, if they want to build a weather prediction model, they need to find more than a dozen experts who are respectively good at atmospheric circulation, atmospheric physics, atmospheric sounding, meteorological information service, fluid mechanics, data processing, functional analysis, data construction, etc. Experts and professors in modeling, weather forecasting, etc. should form a team. An overly specialized division of labor will lead to the fragmentation of cooperation, affecting specific cooperation and scientific research efficiency.

In this regard, it is obviously inferior to Xia Guo's fluid mechanics laboratory.Under the guidance of Qin Ke, all researchers in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory of Xiaguo Qingmu University have mastered as many physics sub-subject knowledge and experimental operation capabilities as possible, and have the ability to use mathematical tools for data modeling, which makes Teamwork is extremely efficient and complementing each other is much easier.

Another problem is that although the European Meteorological Center has long explored the role of AI in weather forecasting, it has not invested much energy in solving the key problem that AI cannot handle uneven 2D data with 3D neural networks. The lack of mathematical and physical mechanism constraints in the processing and the continuous accumulation of iteration errors in the iterative process have not provided any feasible solutions, so that AI has not played a really important role in weather forecasting.

In this regard, the LV4 Shimmer developed by Qin Ke can beat the AI ​​of the European Meteorological Center by a few blocks.

While carefully reading various reports and materials, Qin Ke analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the other party's management and scientific research work, and learned from the best.

As for the data of about 500G, it is natural to use the network to send it back to the Lime data center in China, and let Shimmer conduct a second analysis and sorting. With the foundation of the predecessors, the processing time of Shimmer will be shortened a lot.

Thanks to the modern transnational optical fiber transmission speed, after Qin Ke fell asleep, the 500G data transmission was completed the next morning, and the low light even completed the data processing, according to the habits of Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun They are divided into categories, and preliminary conclusions are also derived based on each chart.

LV4's low-light progress is indeed very fast, especially when Qin Ke and his two are conducting domestic extreme weather research, they constantly adjust and optimize the low-light to make it more suitable for analyzing and processing meteorological data. Now let's talk about processing meteorological data Its ability can basically rank among the top three in the world. Even a supercomputer whose performance is twice as good as that of the low-light may not be able to complete the sorting and classification of 500G meteorological data in such a short period of time.

With the help of Shimmer, Qin Ke's workload was greatly reduced.He and Ning Qingyun spent half a day reading the data analysis results and Shimmer's inferences, and then spent another day or so adjusting the division of labor and research content of each group, directly deleting some unnecessary work content, Some directions that need to be strengthened have been staffed, and the most difficult and most critical is to establish a mathematical model for meteorological analysis, and then develop a software tool for early warning of high-altitude extreme airflow disasters, which are personally responsible for them.

Both of them have rich experience in dealing with extreme desert weather disasters. The solution ideas for this high-altitude extreme airflow disaster are basically the same, and the data used for mathematical modeling is also sufficient, so the efficiency of the two is very high.

What's more, when it comes to the application of the NS equation in meteorology at this time, no one in the world can surpass their young couple, especially Qin Ke, who is truly the world's number one fluid mechanics master.

Even if the high-air flow is a low-viscosity, compressible fluid movement, it does not prevent him from using Ning Qingyun's specially optimized NS equation to make predictions.

With the assistance of Ning Qingjun and LV4 Shimmer alone, Qin Ke is fully confident that he can solve this big problem within the time limit. If the researchers, scholars and professors of the European Meteorological Center can complete the tasks assigned by him on time Task, the time limit for solving the difficulties of this project can even be compressed to within eight days.

During these eight days, he and Ning Qingyun had to spend one day flying back to Xia Country, and the factors of reduced work efficiency during the long-distance flight were also taken into consideration.

"It's done." Qin Ke quickly completed the detailed division of labor arrangements and plans. After Ning Qingjun saw that there were no new opinions, he sent them directly to Professor Goldberg's mailbox.

After thinking about it, Qin Ke decided to call Professor Goldberg. First, he could remind him to check his email, and second, he could arrange a video conference as soon as possible to implement the division of labor and research plan.

……

European Meteorological Centre.

Professor Goldberg has been waiting for Qin Ke's follow-up plan after returning from Sweden.In order not to waste time, he forced himself to continue to immerse himself in the research work at hand, but he was always a little uneasy.

Not only him, but the rest of the researchers, including Professor Holland, were a little nervous and apprehensive.

After all, they all knew very well in their hearts that it was simply impossible for Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun to come up with a feasible plan in such a short period of time and achieve considerable results as much as possible in the next ten days.If it were them, it would take more than ten days just to read those huge materials.

But now, apart from pinning their hopes on Qin and Ke, they really have nothing to do.

Time passed by bit by bit amid tension and anxiety. It was only about a day and a half passed, but everyone seemed to have passed a year. There were also many voices of doubt and denial within the team, or "just give up "" "It can't be done" and other frustrated words.

Especially when Qin Ke's reply was "as soon as possible", but there was no clear time point, everyone was even more confused.

It also contributes to the spread of negativity in the team.

Professor Goldberg was deeply worried about this. He simply put down his research results, summoned everyone in the team, and poured chicken soup for the soul.

The example he gave was that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun solved a big problem in materials science in only three days at the beginning of this year, making a flood control dam scheme called "J-92 Breakwater" impossible. every life.If we can solve the problem of materials science in three days, isn't it possible to solve our problem in more than ten days?

But he also knew that the example he gave was a little pale. After all, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun had participated in the research work of "J-92 Breakwater" and had a considerable foundation, but it was the first time they had come into contact with this cooperation project.

So was the reaction of the crowd.Although most of the people were silent, those invited foreign aid were somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the European Meteorological Center paid so much attention to Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. After all, as the top professors in Europe, they had to listen to the advice of two young people. Even if leaders and conductors know that the other party is a great scientist who has won the Nobel Prize, the gap in qualifications, nationality, and age still makes them feel quite uncomfortable.

In this anxious state, Professor Goldberg frowned when he received the secretary's report: "Are there media interviews again?"

The European Meteorological Center is an international organization for scientific and technical cooperation. It is not a secret department, nor is it affiliated to any country. There are only two security guards in the entire Meteorological Center. The anti-theft relies on an intelligent access control system.

In a land with a high degree of media freedom like Europe, the media does not need to apply for interviews. As long as they do not enter the core office area such as the research office, they have the freedom to interview, let alone Professor Goldberg, who is the chief scientist, even It is Figueiredo, the director of the council, who has nothing to do with the pervasive media.

Researchers are free to accept interviews from the media, except that they cannot disclose the research content that requires confidentiality in front of the media.

Professor Goldberg is deeply disturbed and even annoyed by this. The current research team is full of negative emotions. Once the media reports heavily, the European Meteorological Center will inevitably suffer a lot of criticism and huge pressure from the European people. Naturally, it will bear the greatest pressure. It's him, the chief scientist.

"I'll go to the interview site to see, and you report to Director Figueiredo." Professor Goldberg said to the secretary, and hurried to the reception hall on the first floor in front. No matter what, he can always avoid the situation. The worst possible direction.

As soon as he walked into the reception hall, Professor Goldberg saw that Professor Linus Riddle was being interviewed, and his heart sank. The worst situation appeared.

Professor Linus Riddle is a famous professor in the Department of Mathematics of Oxford University. He is not affiliated with the European Meteorological Center, but a foreign aid staff invited by Professor Holland, who is responsible for assisting the current extreme weather disaster warning system "Pandora System" Optimize the data analysis module and mathematical model prototype in it.Professor Linus Riddle's level is indeed very high, but he has always been arrogant and not very social. If he ignores the overall situation and says something weird in front of the media, he will be in trouble.

However, Professor Goldberg could not forcefully interrupt the other party's interview. After all, interviewing and being interviewed are important rights of citizens.He could only walk over quickly, planning to help make things right if something went wrong.

Only a brown-haired female reporter asked: "Professor Riddle, we heard that the European Meteorological Center has invited academician Qin Ke and Academician Ning Qingyun, the most popular Xia scientists, to join the research team to jointly overcome scientific research difficulties. May I ask you?" What do you think about that?"

"Not a big deal, but I'm skeptical that Eurometeo gave them the highest command of research."
