From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 148 Correct Use of Truth Points
The first day in the laboratory was spent like this. After Lin Xiao returned home, Chen Bao sent him various things to learn about computational materials science.

There are a lot of things, but it’s enough to spend time reading. For Lin Xiao, whose brain development rate has reached 4.35%, the speed of reading books has also increased a lot, especially the improvement in memory. Books that used to take 10 days to finish are now about [-] days old. It can be finished in six or seven days.

In addition, there are also some computer programming subjects, so he naturally tries to program himself on the computer, and now he is more or less an entry-level programmer.

Just like that, a month has passed.

On this day, Lin Xiao was simulating a material on a professional material calculation software, and at the same time trying to build a mathematical model to analyze the performance of this material.

This is a new type of GDL-4 steel that he simulated based on the first principles of KS equation density functional theory.

The theory that sounds awesome is a theoretical method commonly used in computational materials science. The tools that can be used in current computational materials science are basically separated from this first principle and density functional theory. It doesn't matter, of course there are other common theoretical tools, but Lin Xiao is using this theoretical method for the time being.

Of course, the GDL-4 type steel he made through this thing is only simulated by himself. If he really wants to manufacture it, he needs to find those who specialize in experiments to design the process and convert it from the computer. virtual form into a real entity.

GDL-4 type steel has the ability to replace expensive M2 type steel because of its high strength and low cost. However, due to its poor cutting performance, it has poor processing performance and affects mass production. Therefore, his design The original intention was to make this new steel have better cutting performance.

However, the original intention of his calculation and simulation is this, but to test whether it can really achieve this performance, it is necessary to design a production process, then manufacture its entity, and then conduct related experiments.

But obviously, based on his experimental experience, it is obviously impossible to design this kind of craft.

This requires practical experience, and it doesn't matter if his brain is highly developed.

This is why the Institute of Computational Materials has become a vassal of experiments.

It's like you have created a PPT for a certain project, and if you want to implement the contents of the PPT, you have to find rich people to invest, and you will naturally become a vassal of the rich.

Unless you are a boss, you can not only calculate, but also design experiments.

However, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered his truth points and the 30 truth point voucher.

"System, how many truth points do I need to answer whether this model can be successful?"

System: "This answer requires 1 truth point. If you use [an answer worth 30 truth points], the item will disappear."

"Will it disappear after use?" Lin Xiao thought for a while, it seems that if he wants to use this voucher, it should be 30 truth points.

He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and asked again: "How to modify my model so that it can achieve the goal I want? How many truth points does this question need?"

System: "This answer requires 10 rationale points."

Lin Xiao was shocked.

"10 truth points?"

In other words, with 10 truth points, he can produce a new type of steel, which has mechanical properties comparable to M2 type steel, and at the same time has a relatively low production cost?
Any new material may have excellent economic value, and once this new type of GDL-4 type steel that can overcome poor cutting performance comes into being, it will obviously have the ability to replace M2 type steel.

For example, it replaces the application of M2 steel in the sliding vane of air conditioner compressor.

The sliding vane is the core part of the air conditioner compressor, and the air conditioner compressor is the core part of the air conditioner external unit. It means that every time an air conditioner is produced, or every time an air conditioner compressor is produced, a piece of M2 steel is required. slide.

And such a sliding piece may not be of high value, it may only be a few dollars or even a few cents, but this must be considered in quantity.

Just the domestic production of [-] million air conditioners every year is enough to see its vast market.

At least a few hundred million market.

Now, if this GDL-4 type steel is produced to avoid the situation of poor cutting performance, and then achieve mass production, it will obviously be able to seize the market that originally belonged to M2 type steel through a lower price.

At that time, the profit margin will be higher than that of M2 steel.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's heart was pounding for a moment.

Doesn't this directly make a lot of money?

Of course, he didn't spend these truth points to get things out in a flash of his head.

After all, he has no money or power after it is done, and when the time comes, he will need to find someone for the preparation of the experiment, and it will be necessary to share the profits, and there will be various things after that.

Thinking about it this way, the fire in Lin Xiao's heart suddenly seemed to be extinguished as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.

"Hey, so everything is not that simple."

He shook his head, forget it.

Let's talk about it later.

In any case, now he has found a good direction to make money, or in other words, a way to realize the truth points.

Moreover, maybe 10 truth points can be used in other more profitable materials?

It's not just the steel.

Thinking about it this way, all the points of truth suddenly turned into safflower hundred-yuan bills in his eyes.

"Good stuff!"

This is the correct way to use truth points.

Since we all want to pursue the truth, can we still be troubled by economic problems?
Obviously not.

Comparing the mathematical problems he solved with these materials, if they are all quantified in value, this value is not economic value, but the value of the "truth" contained in it, then it is obvious that the mathematical problems he solved before The value of possession is quite high.

Just say that the Goldbach conjecture he solved is worth 30 truth points, which is several times that of this new GDL-4 steel with an economic value of hundreds of millions.

Lin Xiao couldn't help fantasizing in his mind, if he realized all the truth points, how much money would he earn?

When the time comes, I will become the CEO and marry Bai Fumei...

Cough cough, it should be, when the time comes to build a private underground research institute, then build a particle collider by yourself, and then build your own supercomputing center...

Just as Lin Xiao was fantasizing, he suddenly received a message.

From Huang Haoran.

"Lin Shen, our materials from the previous days have temporarily met our first-stage expectations. Now the boss has decided to perform simulation calculations on the computer. It's convenient for you to come over now. Shall we start the group meeting?" 』

Hearing the notification sound of the new news, Lin Xiao came back to his senses, took a look, and replied: "No problem, I'll come right away."

Then, he tidied up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he looked at the GDL-4 steel that he had simulated and calculated, and curled his lips.

The system says that it needs 10 truth points, so it seems that the one I designed can't meet expectations at all. God knows what kind of waste it will be when it is produced.

No wonder computational materials science is so underappreciated today.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that he has only studied for a month, and with more experience in the future, there may still be a chance to succeed.

After that, he stopped interfering and went to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

……

"...According to our analysis results, the new titanium alloy we tested last time showed better performance than we expected. Under the conditions of 600°C, 400MPa, and half an hour, the creep residual elongation The elongation is less than 0.35%, and the creep residual elongation is less than 750% under the conditions of 200°C and 2.5MPa for half an hour."

In a small meeting room in Research Room No. [-], the research group led by Academician Chen Bao is starting their group meeting.

"In order to better explore the performance of this material, next I will decide to use simulation calculations to correct the ratio of its elements."

After Chen Bao finished speaking, the other graduate students couldn't help looking at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao is currently studying computational materials science, and they all know it. Obviously, this task will most likely fall on Lin Xiao's shoulders. Of course, there is also Chen Bao, who is an academician of materials science. Of course, he has done some research on science, and in his previous projects, calculations were often used as an aid.

As for these graduate students, they can only be responsible for the design and manufacturing process after the mathematical model is established, or they can be used as helpers or something.

They don't know much about computational materials, and at most they use software.

Academician Chen also looked at Lin Xiao, and said with a smile, "So next, Lin Xiao, the two of us will be busy."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Let me try, after all, I have only studied for a month."

"It's okay. It's better to have experience than to have no experience. Let's just take our time. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Chen Bao waved his hand, and then said: "Then everyone, get ready, search for relevant information in the next few days, and then we will start directly."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"If we succeed, this thing will have a chance to be used in our missiles or fighter jet engines in the future, so everyone should be careful, you know?"

"understood!"

"Ah."

After that, Chen Bao didn't say any more.

Once this high-temperature-resistant titanium alloy is developed and achieves the expected goals they want, it will definitely be able to be applied in the military field at that time, but if the expected goals cannot be achieved, it means that all time is wasted.

Of course, this is also a matter of luck. What to say in the future is still to be determined by the results.

However, Lin Xiao next to him was moved in his heart.

If it is applied to national defense...

He'd be more than happy to use that 30 truth point voucher for it.
