Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1418 No staff yet, no funds yet

"Look, there are people from the military department in the project team, and they are all still wearing military uniforms!?"

Students from the School of Physics and Mathematics of Jingshi University were summoned to the mysterious laboratory. They couldn't help being a little scared when they saw many people wearing military uniforms.

Obviously this project has a very close relationship with the military!
An artillery captain led two people down from the studio on the third floor. The sound of military boots stepping on the iron stairs made the students in the ivory tower somewhat frightened.

"This is one of the research sites of the arsenal, so it's not surprising that you see people in military uniforms here," said the artillery captain.

"It turned out to be the research room of the arsenal, no wonder..." Many students were relieved.

"Sir, the military has called some of our students from the School of Mathematics and School of Physics here. Does it need our help to research something?" one of the students asked.

"You are not qualified yet! Today is just to prepare you mentally!" The artillery captain shouted.

Only then did everyone quiet down.Many of them are the top students in their own colleges, but unexpectedly, they were reprimanded by him for not being qualified to participate in the research and development projects of the military department.

"Next, you will continue your studies in the Imperial University. In addition to learning more profound theories from professors, students from the School of Mathematics also need to study electrical engineering, ballistics, aerodynamics and other applied subjects in the School of Physics! Students from the School of Physics You need to go to the School of Mathematics to lay a good foundation in mathematics! Of course, in the next study, you will be junior researchers. You must obtain doctoral degrees from the School of Mathematics and the School of Physics at the same time, and you must publish papers in both fields. Before starting, calculate the contribution according to the quality and quantity of the paper!" The artillery captain seemed to be lecturing, making the students below feel the sternness of the soldier.

Liu Rushi learned that he would continue to study mathematics in the Imperial University. Instead of studying electrical engineering, ballistics, aerodynamics and other applied physics subjects at the same time, he always felt that this project was related to artillery...

Is artillery related to mathematics and physics?It really has a lot to do with it!

The early artillery only relied on the craftsmen's experience to continuously try to cast the artillery, and the gunner also adjusted the angle based on his shooting experience many times.However, as the power of artillery becomes stronger and more precise, special R&D personnel are needed to calculate the shooting table!Galileo, an Italian physicist, compiled a shot table in the 17th century without considering air resistance, and Euler, a mathematician in the 18th century, compiled a shot table considering air resistance.By the time of World War II, hundreds of trajectories had to be calculated for each shooting table, and each trajectory had a mathematical model, which was a set of very complex nonlinear equations, which needed to be approximated by numerical methods!
The firearms and artillery used by the Kyushu Army are not so accurate yet, but they have begun to pay attention to the theoretical research of ballistics.

Could it be that the project she strayed into was to provide fire gauges for firearms in the arsenal?

"You must be thinking at this moment, this project code-named '01' may be a project dedicated to compiling firearm firing tables. Yes, those of us are indeed studying the application of ballistics to firearms and compiling firing tables. But I want to tell you that the 01 project you are involved in is far more difficult than our current work. You will not start this project until you have learned something. Then you have to study hard, because even I don’t know your What is the project researching!" The artillery captain said confidently.

The students below were in an uproar. Even the artillery captain in charge of the laboratory didn't know what their project was going to study!
"Sir, if you are not the one who actually leads our research, then who is the one who actually leads our research and development?" Liu Rushi couldn't help asking his own question.

In any case, this is too strange. At the same time, people who study physics and mathematics are called here to study the application of ballistics to firearms?

"The above said that the personnel have not arrived, and the funds are not available... Maybe you will know in the future. But what you are going to do should have something to do with ballistics." The artillery captain spread his hands.

The students are still in the fog after visiting the laboratories that study shells, gunpowder, and gun bores.

It seems that even the people above don't know what they want to study. They are left in the Jingshi University to continue their studies, so they can still get a stable salary.

"Continue to study in the Imperial University, a junior researcher, seems to be a good job. Will we continue to study in the Imperial University, isn't that similar to being a lecturer or a professor?"

"It's too difficult to get doctoral degrees from two colleges before the project starts. If you can't get it, will you be kicked out of the project?"

"It's easy to get a doctorate from our School of Physics, but if you want to get a doctorate from the School of Mathematics, why not kill me!"

A group of students who came out of the laboratory complained bitterly.

Although they were told that the project staff hadn't arrived and the funds were temporarily unavailable, their task during this period was to obtain double doctorates in mathematics and physics!

Liu Rushi also felt that it was very difficult for her to obtain a Ph.D. from the School of Physics.

"Mentor, do you know what the recommended project is for?"

After Liu Rushi returned to the School of Mathematics, she saw her tutor Agnesi and couldn't help asking her questions.

Agnesi shook his head: "I don't know either. But recently we have two professors from the School of Mathematics, Boole and Frege. They seem to study mathematical logic. Are you interested in meeting them with me? See what they are studying?"

"Okay." When Liu Rushi heard that there were two more professors from the School of Mathematics, he immediately became interested.

"Are you going to study at the Physics Institute at the same time?" Agnesi asked.

"Yes, I still need to get a Ph.D. from the School of Physics..." Liu Rushi said.

"Set a small goal for yourself, to get a degree from the School of Physics in two years?"

"how is this possible!"

"Is there anything impossible? You have already mastered the tool of mathematics. It should be relatively easy to figure out something from a certain cross-application field of mathematics and physics. Maybe today we The two professors you meet can give you great inspiration."

"Oh." Liu Rushi always felt that it was too much to get a Ph.D. in physics within two years. Although some mathematics professors are also physicists themselves, they sometimes use the concepts of physics to explain, but...

And what exactly is Project 01?Liu Rushi couldn't figure it out. If it wasn't for Chu Yun's high status, she would have grabbed him by the collar and asked him.
