Omnipotent Data

Chapter 435

The original intention of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cambridge is to allow experts in the fields of mathematics and physics to devote themselves to scientific research for a period of time apart from their busy teaching tasks.

Most of the members in the institute are responsible for the key projects of Yingguo Teaching Fund, general projects, youth science funds and other scientific research projects.

In the past few decades, countless scientific research workers have done good work during their stay at the Institute. They have received support from various mathematics and physics institutes and organized various forms of international and domestic academic seminars. Physicists come to give lectures and give academic cutting-edge lectures.

It can be said that among the 100 academic papers published by the University of Cambridge on mathematics and physics, it is estimated that 80 of them will come from the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Cambridge.

Different from Cheng Nuo's small research office propped up by Professor Fresnel at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Institute of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Cambridge is the result of the joint efforts of more than 100 researchers from all over the institute. , to accumulate such a transcendent status.

Last year alone, the Institute of Mathematics and Physics completed more than 30 first-level scientific research projects under the Royal Academy of Sciences of Yingguo.

The research group that Director Ordin sent Cheng Nuo to was one of the 100 first-level scientific research projects issued by the Royal Academy of Sciences at the beginning of this year.

The Institute of Mathematics and Physics has only four floors. Except for the fourth floor which is only used as an office, the other three floors are all large and small laboratories.

Unlike mathematics, which only needs to be written and calculated in a notebook, most physics research needs experimental data as support, so most of the laboratories on the entire three floors are physics laboratories.

Although Aldin is a member of the Department of Mathematics, since he became the director, he has not suppressed the power of the Department of Physics. Instead, he spends 80% of the annual funds on various physics research projects.

Compared with mathematics, the investment in physics research is terribly high.

To do math projects, you only need a simple pen and paper, and at most a computer.

The physical items can be different. If you want to do a project, you must do an experiment, and if you want to do an experiment, you need to buy equipment.

For a piece of experimental equipment, the cheap ones may cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, but the expensive ones can reach hundreds of thousands of pounds. The research fund granted by the Royal Academy of Sciences alone is not enough, and the research institute needs to pay for it.

If in case the experiment fails,

That's a blood loss!

Now there is a physics project stuck in the research institute, and a person from the mathematics department is needed to help. Ordin had no idlers available, so he asked Cheng Nuo, who had just joined the job, to take over for a while.

Ording called Professor Clay and asked him to take Cheng Nuo to report to the physics research group.

Professor Clay took Cheng Nuo to Laboratory No. 203 on the second floor.

The words "Electrohydrodynamics Laboratory" are written on the doorplate.

Clay pushed the door open and walked in.

The area of ​​the electrohydrodynamics laboratory is not large, about 100 square meters. After all, it is only a marginal subject between fluid mechanics and electrodynamics, and does not require super-large experimental equipment.

At this time, two professors were doing experiments in the laboratory.

The two wore white lab coats and stood in front of the tempered glass in the vacuum chamber. One operated the instrument and the other recorded the data.

In the vacuum chamber, the capillary nozzle heats the molten Bi~Zn alloy, and after the cathode-anode flashlight adjusts the intermediate distance, it releases a super-strong voltage, and Cheng Nuo can even see the dancing electric sparks.

A researcher presses a button on the instrument to drive the nozzle of the crucible to spray liquid, and the scattered liquid droplets are cooled during the descent and fall onto the bottom plate of the cold trap.

The chassis was removed from the vacuum chamber by a robotic arm. After another researcher took a sample and observed it under the electron microscope for a while, he shook his head slightly at the other person.

"Failed again." There was helplessness in his tone.

Cheng Nuo and Professor Clay watched all this silently.

It wasn't until the two researchers turned around after completing the experiment that they saw the two standing in the laboratory for a long time.

"Still failed?" Professor Clay frowned and asked the two.

The elder of the two researchers smiled wryly, "Yes, we have modified more than 50 sets of data, but we still can't get the ultra-nano powder that meets the regulations."

"Do you know why?"

"We guessed that there should be a problem with the calculation process of the data, so we asked the director for a mathematician to come and help us. How about it, when did the director say the person will arrive?"

Professor Clay glanced at Cheng Nuo behind him, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I've already brought them to you."

"Bring it? Where is it?" The researcher was stunned for a moment, then saw Cheng Nuo who was standing behind Professor Clay, and his heart skipped a beat.

He said with a dry smile, "Mr. Clay, you are talking about the person standing behind you, right?"

Clay gave the researcher an appreciative look, "That's right, this one is the researcher that the teacher just recruited at a great price, Cheng Nuo!"

The two looked at the young and overbearing Cheng Nuo, exchanged glances, and both shook their heads and smiled wryly.

Professor Clay dragged Cheng Nuo in front of him, and introduced, "These two are Professor Alec Barnard and Professor Max Garrison. Both are physicists who have been famous in the physics world for many years, and they are experts in the field of mechanics. .”

"Hello, both of you," Cheng Nuo said with a smile.

Professor Clay explained to the two professors, "You two, don't be fooled by Cheng Nuo's appearance. Although he is only a student, his mathematics level is enough to solve the problems you are currently encountering. The teacher has put in a lot of effort. That’s why he agreed to come and help.”

What, still a student? !

The two professors were too lazy to complain.

Director, this is because they have experimented too many times and consumed a lot of resources, so give them up completely.

"Thank you, Director, for your kindness." The two said with pale faces.

"I won't stay any longer. The three of you talk and try to finish the project as soon as possible." After Clay finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Only Cheng Nuo and the two professors were left staring at each other in the laboratory.

"Hmph!" The older researcher snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored Cheng Nuo, walked to the desk and stared at a large amount of experimental data in a daze.

The other researcher didn't speak to Cheng Nuo either. He walked to the instrument and frowned, wondering what went wrong.

Cheng Nuo didn't bother to speak. He was called to help, not isolated.

Pulling up a chair at random, Cheng Nuo crossed his legs and played with his phone leisurely.

A few minutes later, the older researcher glanced at Cheng Nuo who was playing a small game on his mobile phone. After struggling for a few seconds, he took the lead to break the silence, "Who, come over and help me look at some of these data."
