Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

Zhou Rui, with the help of Che Gan, collected all the manuscripts.

Che Gan was still curious: "Boss, you didn't go back all night. You were doing research here! In fact, you can ask me to help you."

Zhou Rui patted Che Gan's broad shoulder: "Do you know chemistry?"

"Uh, I don't understand."

"Where are the creatures?"

"I understand, I won't ask anymore."

As for why the boss has such a wide range of fields, Che Gan is not very surprised.

After all, this is the boss, and he won't be surprised if one day he suddenly takes out a railgun from his trouser pocket.

It’s just that I’m still as curious as a cat scratching my head.

When he was leaving the door, Zhou Rui happened to see Lin Tuo, who looked tired. He looked like he had been staying here all night.

After thinking about it, Zhou Rui handed him two thick stacks of A4 paper.

Lin Tuo sank his hand and asked curiously: "This is it?"

Zhou Ruidao: "Please help me keep some information so that it doesn't get dirty while eating."

Linto woke up for a second and stood up straight.

Nothing Zhou Rui wrote was unimportant. Anything with handwriting had to be crushed and thrown away.

"How important is it?"

Zhou Rui said truthfully: "It's quite important, two good research results."

When Lin Tuo heard this, his other hand had already touched the butt of the gun.

Zhou Rui waved his hand: "I'm going to eat first."

On the way to the cafeteria, Che Gan had been checking something on his mobile phone. When he finished breakfast and sat at the table, he suddenly smiled confidently.

"I understand, boss, polyvalent manganese! Manganese has seven valences, so it has the potential to be used as an energy storage material, right?"

Zhou Rui ate a small steamed bun in one mouthful. He didn't sleep last night and used his brain a lot. He was very hungry:

"Theoretically, this is correct."

At a microscopic level, electric current is the flow of electric charge (mainly electrons), and all chemical batteries operate in this way, discharging through a chemical reaction that causes electrons to move, and then recharging through the application of voltage to reverse the reaction.

That's all the basic principles.

Of course, this is the same as every man has the ability to have children in theory, but the actual operation still needs to be solved: a series of processes such as blind dates, love, betrothal gifts, weddings, raising a family, married life, sterilization, paternity testing, property division, etc. .

The problems that chemical batteries need to solve are also diverse.

He also did not expect that after going around and around, he would actually use "reverse origin tracing" in this field, but this is already the most valuable thing he has obtained after many attempts.

Zhou Rui said: "The most similar technology currently on the market is the all-vanadium redox flow battery. If we have to name it accordingly, my one should be called 'all-manganese redox flow battery'."

Che Gan's eyes lit up: "Full manganese? It sounds very powerful! Is it going to be used on our drones?"

Zhou Rui shook his head: "In a broad sense, it is a battery, but in a narrow sense, it cannot be miniaturized and needs industrial-grade equipment to operate for a long time."

Che Gan: "Industrial-grade equipment? How big does it have to be?"

Zhou Rui touched his chin: "The smallest one is probably dozens of cubic meters, but it's not cost-effective. The larger the scale, the lower the marginal cost, and the better the overall benefit."

Che Gan said in confusion: "What is such a big volume used for?"

"Let's put it this way. The energy storage effect of a tens of cubic meters of 'all-manganese flow battery' facility is equivalent to that of a small hydropower station."

“And it doesn’t pick places, doesn’t take up space, is reasonably cost-effective, and operates safely.”

After all, Che Gan had never understood the field of "energy storage". He only generally knew that "energy storage" was very important.

However, it is still not clear what the significance of a "hydropower station" that can be built in deserts, next door, cities, mountainous areas, and even large ships is represented.

"Can Nantianmen be used?"

Zhou Rui thought for a while and said: "We can still try it in a microgravity environment, but a gravity-free environment is not even interesting. It requires continuous practice and technological iteration."

He only obtained this "substance" that met all his requirements through "tracing back to the source" and got a glimpse of the synthesis method, but this does not mean that engineering design and practice are not required.

After drinking down the bowl of soy milk, Zhou Rui picked up the dinner plate and prepared to get some more steamed buns.

And Che Gan is just like a curious baby.

He asked behind him: "What about the other virus?"

Zhou Rui had already walked far away, and a long sentence came over:

"Lower metabolism and the human body hibernates. Master will give me four steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk."

——————

Dean Zhao came to the Department of Mathematics of Fuzhou University with a mere fifty-page paper, which Zhou Rui said was the least influential result.

He really couldn't understand it himself. It was fifty pages long, but he started to have trouble understanding it from the third page, and he lost his attention from the tenth page.

Of course, he doesn't need to really understand the content, he just needs to confirm the reliability of the content, so he doesn't need to ask Zhou Rui to explain it to him, but needs to find a third party who can understand it.

I have a great Confucian who can interpret the scriptures for me.

The Mathematics Department of Fuzhou University is also ranked well nationally, but its presence is not strong.

Mathematics itself is a field that is relatively far away from the masses, and it is not easy to obtain funding, and it is even harder to talk about the transformation of results.

Many mathematics researchers can spend their entire lives relying only on paper and pen, so they belong to a relatively "cool" college.

Dean Zhao carried the paper, walked into the small building of the Department of Mathematics, and went straight to an office in the corner. The door number showed that there should be a deputy dean.

"Mr. Zhao? What kind of wind brings you here?"

Su Bingshen stood up quickly.

Although he is the deputy dean, he is only in his early 50s, almost a generation older than dean Zhao.

Even though there was half a grade difference between the two, when he just graduated with his doctorate, he was the dean, and he was also an academician.

After Dean Zhao sat down, Su Bingshen quickly poured a cup of tea.

Dean Zhao considered it and said:

"Xiao Su, let me ask you something. Are you familiar with ABC?"

Su Bingshen smiled and said: "Why are you interested in this? This is a famous conjecture in the direction of number theory. If three mutually prime positive integers a, b, c satisfy the equation a+b=c, all of abc will be The product of prime factors is recorded as rad(abc), then for any e\u003e0, there is a constant C(e) related to e, such that c≤C(e)(rad(abc)^(1+e))”

Dean Zhao:

What's the word count here?

But he was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand. After a while, he said, "Is this conjecture difficult?"

Su Bingshen thought for a while. In theory, it is impossible to judge the difficulty of any unproven conjecture. This is the same as how to know whether a dish is delicious or not:

"This conjecture is relatively young, only thirty years old, but because the name is quite famous, it is related to many centuries-old conjectures, such as 'Brother Guess'."

"Three years ago, a Japanese person claimed that he had proved this conjecture, but it was not widely recognized by the mathematical community. The guy spent 500 pages demonstrating it, which really did not conform to the aesthetics of mathematics, and most people could not understand it. Filled with some very strange custom theories.”

Unlike other fields, the "results" of mathematics cannot be finalized using methods similar to "experimental data," so peer recognition is the entire "evaluation criterion."

Only when you have gained widespread recognition in the mathematics community can you claim to have "overcome" any problem.

Dean Zhao touched his chin. In short, it was a rather difficult guess. As Xiao Zhou's graduation thesis, it seemed to be qualified.

He still had some thought in mind. If the ABC conjecture of Lao Shizi was just superficial in the field of mathematics, he would still persuade Zhou Rui to change his direction in the field of material science, or even not publish it at all, and just file it internally.

So Dean Zhao took out the 50-page paper, handed it to Su Bingshen, and said, "Help me take a look, does this prove the ABC conjecture?"

Su Bingshen looked confused, and then couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, it proves the ABC conjecture? He can't be a student of the School of Chemistry, right?"

“So be it”

Su Bingshen laughed dryly: "This is simply..."

Doing squats on "Jingtian No. 1" is eye-opening!

Su Bingshen took the document bag and sighed in his heart as he untied the tether: This is a bit disrespectful to our mathematics department. Next time I will write a paper and say that the students of the mathematics department have solved the problem of superconducting materials, which will make you, Dean Zhao, also Straighten it up.

Hmm. The signature is Zhou Rui.

Su Bingshen sat up straight silently.

"Is this the thesis of Master Zhou?"

Dean Zhao stroked his non-existent beard and said proudly: "Yes, students from our college."

Are you envious? Are you jealous? Do you want it?

Although Su Bingshen paid more attention to it, it was impossible that he had not heard of the name of Master Zhou, but the inexplicable feeling was even worse.

Which song is this song about? Leader Zhou is probably best known for his engineering design and solar energy fields, right?

So I started to review it carefully.

Then he looked at it and said nothing.

Dean Zhao clearly felt that Su Bingshen was looking into it, so he was not in a hurry and sipped the tea.

Half an hour later, when the tea had gone cold, I couldn't help but ask: "How was it? Where did you see it?"

Su Bingshen: "Page 4."

Dean Zhao coughed dryly, you can't see it faster than me!

Su Bing didn't even raise his head, nor did he care about Dean Zhao's high position. He waved his hands and said: "You can go back first. This thing is very interesting. Very interesting. I have to figure it out. There is a brand new mathematical model in it."

Dean Zhao shook his head: "Are you kidding? This Xiao Zhou's paper cannot leave my eyelids from beginning to end. If you don't return it to me first, I will come find you in the evening."

"No, no, no! No! You must not break the thread of mathematical research! Once the thread is broken, it will be messed up."

Two hours later.

"What number are you at?"

"Page ten."

"Wasn't it just page 12? Did you read it backwards?"

Three hours later.

"No! Let go! I want to take you away!"

"Mr. Zhao, I beg you, don't! Where are you going! I'll follow you!"

"Where am I going? I need to go to the toilet! I've already drank six cups of tea! Let go! There's no hurry!"

—————

On the campus of Fuda, when Dean Zhao and Su Bingshen were walking into the bathroom, Zhou Rui also stopped at Wanhu Base and started on the way back to Shanghai.

There are still more than ten days until the third launch, and things are getting more and more on track here.

The third launch will be different from the previous ones. It will be the most unremarkable one. All payloads will be used to expand the area of ​​"Nantianmen", so he can have time to do other things.

"Mr. Zhou, do you want the air conditioner to be turned up a little higher?"

"That's it. If you feel cold, turn it up."

The weather today is not good, and it has become gloomy in the afternoon, which seems to indicate that the end of the year will not be too peaceful.

In the Hongqi N501 that was driving smoothly, Zhou Rui opened a physics book and at the same time his brain began to think about other things.

Silently entered "dual core" mode.

The "kill two birds with one stone" he got last night, this ability seems to be inconspicuous, but it can directly double his energy and efficiency.

At present, all three task bars are full of "physics" subject entries, but it only takes half the time before, which is really cool.

While reading books and gaining experience, Zhou Rui can also calmly think about the impact of a person's "technical blowout" last night.

It's as if the person reading the book is not him.

Dual SIM dual standby is cool.

Last night, he was forced to "force consumption" due to the end of the year, and consumed the three abilities of "Da Yan Gui Yi", "Reverse the Origin", and "Copy the Cat" overnight.

It's a bit impulsive, but it's really cool.

Among them, only "Da Yan Gui Yi" was tested by him without any direction, and the other two were designed with plans.

One "all manganese liquid flow battery" is to solve the energy storage problem for future lunar development.

One "hibernation virus" is to make technical reserves for more distant short-distance interstellar voyages.

These two things are of extremely high practical significance, and will also lead to some other technological changes.

For example, "all-manganese liquid flow battery" can be widely used in earth energy storage, rewriting the embarrassing situation of clean energy, and greatly reducing the peak pressure of the power grid and increasing economic efficiency.

And "hibernation virus" can play a role in the field of critical care, of course, it also needs to be matched with some other technologies.

So out of caution, he did not use these two as "graduation thesis", but chose "ABC conjecture".

The meaning of mathematical conjectures being proved or falsified is only one aspect, and the "mathematical tools" used are also valuable, which can also be called "problem-solving methods" in layman's terms.

For example, under the deduction of "Da Yan Gui Yi" last night, a brand new mathematical model appeared. It has no name, so let's call it "Zhou Rui Model".

Of course, if it stops here, the impact on the real world is still very little.

But there will be some eventually.

Riemann himself would not have thought that the Riemannian geometry he founded in the 19th century became the mathematical basis of Einstein's general relativity in the 20th century. When the mathematical group theory was born, no one would have thought that it could actually find the shortest step to restore the Rubik's Cube.

Maybe someone will use the "Zhou Rui Model" to make many new breakthroughs in the future, and even Zhou Rui himself will use it, but at this stage, for Zhou Rui, it is just a "graduation thesis" created by "forced consumption".

His needs are simple: it can be made public and substantial enough.

More things, he actually has everything.

He is not a mathematician, and he can't even be called a scholar.

He is a scientist, entrepreneur, engineer, and those things in the academic world

are not important, not important

After thinking about it, Zhou Rui said to the driver: "Change the route and go to the Xionggui Road Fire Station."

The taciturn driver nodded.

The domineering convoy drove into the prosperous Shanghai at the tail of dusk.
