From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Du Kai felt that Wang Hao's application had little hope, mainly because the funds involved were too large, and even if the application was approved, it would definitely take a long time.

But because it was Wang Hao's research needs, he still agreed to apply together.

What he didn't expect at all was that he was directly bypassed, and the Antigravity Behavior Research Center applied to the superior department alone.

It was precisely because of the delay in waiting for news that he went to ask about it, only to hear that a report had been made.

"You don't need me anymore?"

"Bypass me and apply directly..." Du Kai didn't know how to react.

If other people or other research groups do this, he will definitely be very angry, because part of the superconducting material experiment group belongs to the superconducting material industry company. within the scope of responsibility.

But it's different if it's Wang Hao and the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.

The Antigravity Behavior Research Center is a scientific research institution directly under the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Department, and Wang Hao is beyond his reach. He can only talk to Deng Huanshan with depression.

Deng Huanshan explained very straightforwardly, "Professor Wang didn't throw you away on purpose, it's because you don't have enough authority."

"Not enough authority?"

"Yes." Deng Huanshan said, "I don't have enough authority either. The research on anti-gravity is confidential, and the work of our materials team is to cooperate. We will prepare whatever materials Professor Wang says we need."

"The new company is the same. It has no authority to intervene in the research of anti-gravity. The application report signed your name. Doesn't it mean that you know the content?"

"Professor Wang is also for your own good..."

After Deng Huanshan explained carefully, Du Kai's mood immediately calmed down a lot.

Indeed!

Although Wang Hao asked him to apply for funds and asked the company's equipment to cooperate with the preparation of materials, he didn't say anything about the anti-gravity research.

If it is a report to the superior, it will definitely explain the research results.

That's confidential.

His level and position are not enough to know the results of major secrets.

"However, no matter how important the results are, it is impossible to apply for so much funding for an experiment, right?" Du Kai shook his head thinking.

at the same time.

Both the Science and Technology Department and the Science and Industry Bureau have received the application report from the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, and the Science and Technology Department immediately led an internal meeting.

Everyone who attended the meeting was amazed by the new results.

"A field strength of more than 80? And it is a horizontal field that acts on the device itself. Wouldn't it reduce the gravity by more than 80%?"

"With this technology, can't we directly make the device fly?"

"That should not be possible for the time being, but it is true with the key technology. The application prospect of this technology is too wide, especially in the aerospace field."

"Indeed..."

"The research is of great significance. The critical temperature of CA005 is 93K, and the use loss is not high, which is enough for the application of anti-gravity technology."

Everyone who attended the meeting knew it meant a lot.

The meeting also quickly decided to fully support the work of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, "Whether it is a superconducting material experiment group or a new material company, as long as resources can be provided, we will fully cooperate!"

"The same goes for other departments, we must give enough support!"

"This is the most important research."

"The two directions of superconducting materials and antigravity go hand in hand, and they can be put into application faster in the future..."

The meeting not only made a decision to fully support it, but also decided to set up a leadership group and then go to Xihai University to see the progress of anti-gravity research with my own eyes.

This time, Xu Baogong from the Bureau of Science and Industry became the leader of the leading group.

...

Dukai is investigating the location of the new company.

The Superconducting Material Industry Company was established around two key materials, CM001 and CM002. His job is to quickly establish the company and enable the two new materials to be mass-produced.

The material company has attracted the attention of the whole world, and the pressure on Du Kai is naturally very great.

He runs around every day, dealing with various documents, and even visits the factory construction site.

While walking on the newly built road, Du Kai received a call and knew that the Science and Technology Department had issued an official document.

He immediately went back to the office to look at the documents, only to realize that he was asked to 'fully cooperate with the work of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center at all costs'.

Du Kai was stunned when he saw the document, of course he knew what the content represented--

Wang Hao's application was approved.

"With so much money for an experiment, let the new company cooperate..."

"It passed so quickly?"

This was completely different from what Du Kai expected before. He was very shocked, and at the same time felt a little depressed.

Because his job is to fully cooperate with the Anti-Gravity Behavior Research Center, but he doesn't know what kind of research he is doing. They have become an organization that produces materials, and they still "cooperate at all costs."

That sounds depressing.

But, there is no way!

Du Kai smiled wryly, what else could he do? I can only cooperate.

...

Wang Hao also received the news, and he immediately went to the superconducting material experiment group to learn more about the preparation process of CA005.

Duke is also here.

Du Kai also took two experts to visit the preparation process of CA005 and discuss the preparation process.

What they need to do is to mechanize some of these steps, or simply leave them to other agencies.

This is what prepares you for mass production.

Later, more than a dozen experts participated in the CA005 manufacturing discussion, and worked together to come up with a plan.

The final solution was not very satisfactory.

Deng Huanshan said, "According to our existing equipment and personnel, combined with the entire production process, it will take at least two months to manufacture 10 tons of CA005."

This is already the fastest time.

Wang Hao felt very depressed when he heard the time, but it took two months to wait for the production of materials, and it was still the case that the superior allocated funds and other departments fully cooperated.

However, there is no way.

The superconducting material industry company is only in the process of establishment, and only some basic equipment has been introduced. It is impossible for any new material to be put into mass production quickly.

Even in the post-discussion production process, part of the work still has to be done in the laboratory.

"I can only wait."

Wang Hao returned to the university with a little depression, and then he focused on studying the expression of the "morphological gap" with Birkar and Lin Bohan.

This is the key part of CA005's study on the semi-topological micro-morphological structure.

Because of the new discoveries in the experiment, Wang Hao also gave a definite basic definition of the theoretical direction, which greatly narrowed the scope of related discussions.

In the process of continuous research and demonstration, they determined the direction of research together, and also achieved some achievements in the topological expression of special algebraic variety structures.

What they are studying is the "special case algebraic variety", which can be expanded to obtain more problem expressions of the "special case algebraic variety", and perform a preliminary characterization of the special behavior of the micro-morphological gap.

When I really focused on research, I soon had some results.

Bill Carr and Lin Bohan only care about math problems.

in the office.

Birkar said seriously, "Compared to the expression of algebraic variety topological problems, the expression of semi-topology is easier."

"Wang Hao, your research requirements are easier. In fact, it is not necessary to complete all topological expressions. Semi-topology itself is a simplification."

Lin Bohan suddenly asked, "If we can complete several semi-topological systems and algebraic geometry related problems, can we prove that all related semi-topological systems can be analyzed by algebraic means?"

This question stunned Wang Hao and Bircar together.

Wang Hao asked suspiciously, "Although the semi-topological system was created by us together, its foundation is still topological theory. If it is like what you said, to some extent, is it equivalent to completing the 'weakening Hodge conjecture'?" prove?"

"It makes sense!"

Lin Bohan and Birkar's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they immediately felt full of fighting spirit.

Hodge conjectures that the difficulty of the problem is too high, even so high that it is almost impossible to complete.

If the difficulty of various unsolved mathematical problems is graded, the difficulty of Hodge's conjecture is even the highest, surpassing the NS equation and the Yang-Mills problem, and it can almost be equal to the NP problem.

Hodge's conjecture is not like Goldbach's conjecture, which is a direct proof problem, but a class of problems to be solved.

With a simple understanding, you will know what type of problem Hodge's conjecture is.

For example, a straight line in the plane coordinate system can be expressed by simple functions.

A parabolic graph can naturally be expressed, which is high school physics knowledge.

Circles, ellipses, exponential growth curves, etc. can all be expressed with specific functions.

If placed in the graphics expressed by plane coordinates, the above graphics are just "regular special cases".

Then the question arises, "Is it possible to write the corresponding function or combination of functions for all the graphics that can be drawn by plane coordinates?"

The form of this problem is similar to Hodge's conjecture, except that Hodge's conjecture is much more complicated. It is to study whether algebraic geometry can be used to express a class of topologically related problems.

Because of this, the Hodge conjecture is considered to be a bridge connecting algebraic geometry and topology.

Wang Hao, Lin Bohan, and Birkar are working together on the "topological problem expression of special cases", just like studying the graphics of special cases in plane coordinates.

It is simply impossible for them to use this to solve the Hodge conjecture.

How about simplifying the problem?

The research is aimed at semi-topology and algebraic geometry. It seems that it is possible to thoroughly study a class of semi-topological problems. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to solving the "weakened Hodge conjecture".

"This research is very important for simplifying the semi-topological microscopic morphology system!"

Bilkar said excitedly, "This is my job."

Lin Bohan is also looking forward to it, "If it can be completed, it will definitely promote the development of superconducting theory, right?"

"Of course."

Wang Hao is also very much looking forward to, no matter whether the research can be completed or not, it will be able to promote the "CA005 microscopic behavior analysis".

Seeing the continuous growth of any inspiration value, he felt a little excited.

...

The research of 'weakening Hodge's conjecture' is also very difficult, and it is certainly impossible to complete it in one go.

a week later.

The leading group headed by Xu Baogong came to Xihai University. After they entered the university, they went straight to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center without any stopover.

Xu Baogong couldn't wait any longer. He was really curious and looking forward to the breakthrough of anti-gravity technology.

If it's what the report says, the research is likely to advance the application of antigravity technology.

I used to think that anti-gravity is a future technology, and it is impossible to use it in a short time, but now I feel that the application of technology is just around the corner.

soon.

A group of people entered the laboratory building.

Although the name was changed to "Anti-gravity Behavior Research Center", in fact, the front of the laboratory remained basically unchanged, only the experimental center at the back was built.

Knowing the urgency of Xu Baogong and others, Wang Hao simply took them to the experiment center and conducted an experiment on the spot.

Now the experiment is relatively easier, because the materials can be reused, and the equipment does not change in any way, only need to be powered on and cooled down.

The biggest difficulty before was cooling. After the superconducting critical temperature of the material is raised, cooling has become a small problem. It is only necessary to inject liquid nitrogen into the cooling tube and control the temperature inside the tube.

The lab is already ready.

As soon as the leadership team came in, the experiment would be formally carried out directly.

soon.

The result came out.

The horizontal surface of the equipment generates an AC gravity field, the strength of which exceeds eighty percent.

Although the leading group saw the experiment with their own eyes, in fact, all they could see was the data of the detection device, and the specific situation still needs to be explained.

Wang Hao said, "We specially placed detection devices on the lateral surfaces and edges of the conductors."

"It's a very difficult design because there's basically no room in the lateral plane, and making room could change the material layout."

"We also adjusted the detection device in a targeted manner before completing the design..."

Wang Hao talked about a lot of difficulties in the design, and then introduced the research, "Now we can create a horizontal AC gravity field with an intensity between 80% and 82%."

"The data is basically stable."

As he spoke, he glanced at the others and knew that everyone cared about the same as his own. He shook his head and continued, "But the equipment itself and the coolant are very heavy, totaling more than three tons, so I want to let the equipment fly by itself." Get up... Impossible for the time being."

Although he is looking forward to building an anti-gravity aircraft, there are still many technologies to be overcome. For example, the weight of the equipment itself is too high.

Coolant is heavy, both in materials and in accessories, and requires constant refilling.

In addition, 80% is not 100%. Even if the weight is reduced by 4/5, it is impossible to automatically levitate.

Research is far from reaching the point of creating flying devices.

Of course.

Because the increase in the superconducting critical temperature has greatly reduced the cost, and the AC gravity field strength acting on the device itself exceeds 80%, the new technology must have a certain application space.

What Wang Hao said also made the leadership team excited, and they also realized that the new technology does have room for application.

No matter how narrow the application space is, the application of anti-gravity technology itself is a major breakthrough in technological development.

Wang Hao continued, "We made the application because we are planning to conduct a large-scale experiment that requires more than eight tons of CA005."

"This experiment requires a complex arrangement of materials, and the devices built can also be very large."

He took out a prepared design drawing. There were several graphic designs on it, and a huge disc was drawn at the core.

Several kinds of weird disc shapes made the leadership team confused.

Wang Haodao, "In fact, technology is not the key. Our purpose is to collect data through several experiments to complete the research on the semi-topological microstructure of CA005."

"To put it simply, it is to understand the principle of the CA005 material supporting high-strength anti-gravity effects."

"As long as we can study the underlying principles, we will be able to maximize technological breakthroughs, and perhaps at that time, we will be able to increase the strength of the exchange gravity to 90 or even higher, and we can freely control the coverage of the field strength. "

"Theoretical research is the most important thing..."

...

Wang Hao gave a detailed explanation on the research breakthrough.

The leadership group understood.

They are all looking forward to the follow-up research, hoping to see further breakthroughs in technology, and naturally give absolute support to the research.

Afterwards, the leading group prepared to leave to inspect the work of the superconducting material industry company.

Wang Hao and Xu Baogong walked in front together, talking over and over again.

Xu Baogong didn't talk about research issues anymore, but I asked, "You're going to the capital next week, right? Congratulations in advance, Academician Wang."

"Thanks."

Wang Hao smiled and said thanks.

The co-option of academicians has entered the final stage, and next week will be the jury review and final selection voting meeting. As long as he can pass the voting meeting, he will officially become an academician of the Department of Mathematical Physics.

Xu Baogong continued, "When you officially become an academician, you should also participate in some decision-making work."

"Decision work?"

Xu Baogong nodded and said, "The Science and Technology Department, including the Science and Industry Bureau, has many important projects to be decided at the meeting every year."

"Your opinion is very important, especially in the field of superconductivity. There will be a meeting on superconducting maglev trains next week, and the Science and Technology Department has already passed it."

"If you have time, you can also participate at that time. For technical issues, Wang Hao, you are more professional, and we all trust you."

"Superconducting maglev? Is it the construction project led by Academician Liao?" Wang Hao nodded in thought and said, "Okay, I will participate then."
