From small town academic to chief scientist

"Professor Zhou, do you want to think about it again? This cannot just be business as usual."

The person on the phone said patiently.

Zhouyi said:

"Just carry on as usual. Earthquakes can be predicted. I have made a mathematical model through traditional methods in the past few days.

Can predict the arrival of earthquakes ten days in advance. "

"What? Professor Zhou, can you say it again? I didn't hear it clearly."

The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling, and it was obvious that all the years of effort in cultivating Qi could no longer be held back at this moment.

Zhou Yi's tone was very calm, as if it was a trivial matter, and he said:

"I have been in retreat for a few days recently, and I have improved my previous methods of predicting earthquakes. I am now able to predict the arrival of earthquakes in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas ten days in advance."

"Ten days in advance!? Oh my god, is it true?"

There was an incredulous tone on the other end of the phone. After all, this was simply a result that subverted common sense.

The first reaction of the black jacket boss was whether Zhou Yi said this deliberately in order to establish CEPC in Yuzhou.

Ten days in advance, this means that the entire Sichuan and Chongqing regions will not be harmed by the earthquake.

Reduce losses in terms of life, economy and other aspects.

This is a great merit, a great merit that will be recorded in the history of Daxia.

If the people of Shu and Chongqing knew about it, Zhou Yi's reputation would reach an unimaginable height.

Zhou Yi said with great certainty:

"Of course it's true. I won't use hundreds of billions to waste money. Wouldn't it be better to invest hundreds of billions in my hometown?"

The man in the black jacket took a few deep breaths in the office, then took a sip of hot water and asked:

"Professor Zhou, can your method be extended to the whole country? Or make a prediction model specifically for Daxia?"

Zhouyi said:

"Yes, I can, but I'm very busy, and the entire Daxia Kingdom is geographically complex. It's very troublesome to start from scratch. I can't just do it if I want to. I need help from others."

Of course, Zhou Yi would not say it was easy. This time, Zhou Yi was careful to ask them for the use rights and data of the Jinpingshan Dark Matter Laboratory in the Daxia Kingdom of Shu.

Regarding the theory of earth expansion, Zhou Yi feels that the existing data are not enough, and more and more accurate data are needed.

This requires the laboratory to detect more data.

However, the Jinpingshan Dark Matter Laboratory in Shu Province of Daxia will not be easily used by Zhou Yi. Using some small means will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

Even if Zhou Yi wanted to repair it himself, it would be too late, so he could only find a way to get to the Jinping Mountain Dark Matter Laboratory in Shu Province.

The man in the black jacket on the other end of the phone asked excitedly:

"Professor Zhou just asks if you need anything. He has asked you to spend hundreds of billions to build CEPC yourself, and we will do our best."

"Lend me some time from the Jinpingshan Dark Matter Laboratory in Shu Province."

Zhou Yi said lightly.

The man in the black jacket on the other end of the phone said strangely:

"Does this have anything to do with earthquakes?"

Zhouyi said:

"Well, there is a big connection. It involves professional knowledge. If you don't understand it, can you help me apply?"

The person on the phone hesitated for a while and said:

"Okay, I'll try my best to help you apply. In addition, I'll ask Professor Zhou to write a report. After all, such a big project requires the approval of the Presbytery."

Zhouyi said:

"Okay, I will send that paper to you, you can take it to other departments. After it is used, I will transfer the paper to the scientific research assistant."

The man in the black jacket said:

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yicai said to Mudan:

"Use my existing model to simulate the addresses of the entire Daxia Kingdom."

Peony said cutely:

"Master, the distribution of underground materials in various places is different, and the physical and chemical structures are also different.

This mathematical model is definitely not suitable for the whole country, and can only be suitable for Sichuan and Chongqing regions. Don’t you think about it again? "

Zhouyi said:

"I just simulated it for a while, and I don't need to publish it. Go ahead and start thinking about how to persuade the leaders above."

Although Zhou Yi majored in mathematics, he was still very good at choosing words and sentences.

I just wrote until late at night.

After writing Zhou Yi, he sent this email directly to the superior in a daze.

Go to Beijing.

Some mysterious place.

The man in the black jacket took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a strong voice came from inside the door,

"come in."

After a while, the man in the black jacket entered with a document in his hand.

"What did you come to see me for?"

The old man was busy with his hands, looked up, frowned and asked.

The man in the black jacket looked solemn and respectful, and said in a very respectful tone:

"Hello, Elder, this is what Professor Zhou asked me to pass on to you. Do you want to see it?"

When the old man heard Zhou Yi's name, his frown instantly relaxed.

With a smile that couldn't be hidden, he said:

"Oh, he finally remembered to write me a letter. It's rare. This little guy has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people. I want to see what he writes to me. I thought he would complain about the help we gave him. Not enough."

After a while, the old man who was originally smiling gradually stopped smiling, slowly frowned again, and finally had a solemn look on his face.

The man in the black jacket looked at the old man's expressions and couldn't understand why.

Because Zhou Yi specifically said that before the old man looks at it, it is best for others not to look at it either.

After a long, long time, the old man exhaled heavily and said:

"Looking at your expression, I guess you haven't read this report yet. Take it and take a look."

After a while, the man in the black jacket started to look at it seriously.

【Your Excellency,

Hello.

It has been seven years since China officially proposed the construction of CEPC in 2016.

Due to some reasons, we stopped the CEPC that was supposed to be built.

But we have never given up on construction, but have been preparing silently.

Up to now, the unshelled Higgs boson has been discovered, and a new particle marks that physics may usher in some new directions.

This means we are likely to be at the forefront of the world in new science.

Although it sounds outrageous and beyond our common sense,

Converting seismic waves into energy that we can use, but this is very feasible in theory.

This is also the reason why I chose to install CEPC in Yuzhou against all opinions.

As a pilot place, it is very suitable.

Even the energy brought by an earthquake can save us a lot of electricity.

You know, CEPC consumes 24 million yuan in electricity a day.

That’s billions a year.

The energy consumed and the environmental pollution caused are unpredictable losses.

This power may bring greater value to other factories.

At the beginning, Einstein's theory of relativity was at the forefront of the world.

Hence the atomic bomb.

Scientists told Napoleon that iron sheets could build ships, but the short-sighted Napoleon rejected it.

He even angrily scolded scientists for deceiving him.

Can iron be used to build ships?

But in the end Napoleon was completely defeated. I think we have stood at the turning point of the times.

At least we can be sure that by building CEPC we can gain absolute authority in the following directions,

a) High-performance superconducting high-frequency cavity (used in almost all accelerators);

b) High-efficiency, high-power microwave power source (can also be used in radar, broadcasting, communications, accelerators, etc.);

c) Large cryogenic refrigerators (can also be used in scientific research facilities, rocket engines, medical equipment, etc.);

d) High-speed, radiation-resistant silicon detectors, electronic circuits and chips, etc.

At the same time, we can also lead the world in precision machinery, microwave, vacuum, automatic control, data acquisition and processing, computer and network communication and other technologies.

At the same time, it can also train thousands of top physicists and engineers, introduce thousands of top international scientists and engineers, and form an international science center.

At the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study, I will lead our people to firmly grasp the core of mathematics, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence, and geodynamics.

The first target of these technological services will be our country, Daxia.

The value it brings exceeds one hundred billion.

In the second stage, we can also promote the practical application of high-temperature superconducting materials, superconducting magnets and other application technologies, and become an international leader.

The scale of this industry is immeasurable, and its political and military influence will once again elevate our status to a level that cannot be ignored.

By then, quantum communications, artificial intelligence, controllable nuclear fusion, and high-temperature-resistant superconducting materials will all be available, which means that we have the ability to step into the universe and even the stars and the sea.

Mars is only the first planet we colonized.

As a scholar who deeply loves his motherland, I need to remind you that

Now, we have stood at the turning point of the times,

The opportunity to lead to the era of artificial intelligence and the era of great exploration of the universe is right in front of us.

The price for leading to these two eras in advance is your full support.

Of course, if I have money, I can do it myself, but without enough talent or policies, we may be slower to enter this era.

However, foreign scientists should not be underestimated. Their talent pool and acumen for cutting-edge technology are outstanding.

The most important thing is that they will impose a technical blockade on us.】

There is definitely more to this letter than this.

Just the convenience, economic, and military impacts brought about by the artificial intelligence era are several pages long.

Detailed data is also given on issues such as controllable nuclear fusion and various new materials.

The dense text all reveals the importance of building CEPC and the attitude of important people to pursue policies.

In short, Zhouyi requires talents, policies, maximum authority and maximum support.

The man in the black jacket's hands were shaking when he saw it at the end.

According to Zhou Yi's plan, these will definitely be achievable within the next twenty years.

But the number of people working on the project later in the construction period is tens of thousands.

It feels like building the Great Wall or the Grand Canal.

It may not be accurate to say that it wastes people and money, but it is really a waste of people.

The demolition involved is unimaginable.

After all, the money comes from Zhou Yi.

The old man saw him turning to the last page and said calmly:

"How's it going? Have you finished reading? Is there anything you want to say?"

The man in the black jacket said:

“It’s not like we haven’t seen others paint a pie for us in the past few years, and there are quite a few who are moved.

But the pie painted by Professor Zhou is what interests me the most. "

The old man said:

"Because what he said is likely to become a reality, and some of the technologies we need most are also what we need."

"What do you mean, elder?"

The man in the black jacket said.

The old man said calmly:

“He has provided all the money, so it’s not a bad idea to provide some policy support. Besides, I’m very optimistic about him.

As for the important person, as long as he likes it, just send it to the Yuzhou Institute for Advanced Study. "

The man in black jacket said respectfully:

"Okay. Has the Jinpingshan Dark Matter Laboratory in Shu Province been given to him first?"

The old man replied calmly:

"Yeah. Let him use it. This kind of small thing can still satisfy him."

Afterwards, the two talked about other things for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Yi is hesitating whether to submit the task or not, ‘

The scope of this task is very broad,

Mathematics, physics, chemistry and geodynamics.

The subject experience gained must be considerable.

Zhou Yi did not expect that the first problem to be solved by the establishment of CEPC was to predict earthquakes.

I thought it would solve other problems.

What Zhou Yi didn't expect was that chemistry was actually related to geodynamics.

The name is chemical geodynamics.

Chemical geodynamics is an interdisciplinary subject between geochemistry and geodynamics. It was the hotspot and frontier of mantle geochemistry research in the late 20th century.

Zhou Yi's paper discussed the origin of oceanic basalt and the recycling of crustal materials, the petrological properties of oceanic basalt source areas, plate subduction and the origin of oceanic basalt, the origin of continental mafic ultramafic rocks and plate-mantle interaction, and granite Outstanding progress has been made in aspects such as genesis and continental dynamics;

The geochemistry of its mantle source region is also explained by a binary mixing model, that is, a depleted end member of the MORB-type mantle and an enriched end member derived from crustal materials.

Suggestions are also put forward on important scientific issues in the field of chemical geodynamics and future research directions.

This is tantamount to proposing some mathematical conjectures and making a huge contribution.

At least in the direction of chemical geodynamics, it points out a way forward.

But what also made Zhou Yi sigh was that,

As a young interdisciplinary subject between geochemistry and geodynamics, chemical geodynamics has strong vitality and potential for expansion.

If studied properly, it will play a key role in solving many major fundamental earth science problems.

It provides important support for Daxia to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of the earth.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Yi decided to submit it.

Because the theory of earth expansion is also closely related to the Big Bang, it belongs to the category of astrophysics.

Zhou Yi felt that it could be studied as a separate direction of physics research, in which case the physical experience gained might be higher.

After submitting the task here, you will also gain physical experience.

Not long after, Zhou Yi said to the system:

"Submit task five sub-task one."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the first of the five sub-tasks of the task, and gained 30,000 mathematics experience, 3000 physics experience, 7000 chemistry experience, and 10000 geodynamics experience.

Get 500 points and 3 lucky draw opportunities. 】

Zhou Yi marveled, the experience in mathematics and physics is reasonable, chemistry and geodynamics give so much experience,

It should be possible to gain so much by proposing the development direction of chemical geodynamics.

Zhou Yi recited silently,

"Open the task panel,"

[Host: Zhouyi.

Mathematics: LV6, 0/100W; (Mathematics level reaches LV6, you are about to reach the highest level of mathematics on this planet. Come on, young man, step by step to reach the height of mathematics.)

Artificial intelligence: LV3, 3.74W/5W; (The fourth technological revolution, is it artificial intelligence or energy? How about you upgrade it to the extreme to experience it?)

Points: 11340, enhanced version of focus capsule*90 (points can be exchanged for some key knowledge and techniques, drawings, and focus capsules, etc.), nitrogen gun, and 2 opportunities for enlightenment when inspiration emerges.

One hundred grams of spacecraft wreckage, a mysterious battery, and a nitrogen shield. Lucky draw chance*8. 】

My math level is finally LV6, and I still need about 1W of experience to upgrade to LV5 in physics.

Zhou Yi lamented that it was not easy, and his chemistry had reached LV4, which was really rewarding.

Sure enough, it is still necessary to study interdisciplinary and applied fields in order to gain a lot of experience quickly.

At this moment, the system's sound rang again.

[Ding, post task five sub-task two, is the theory of earth expansion related to the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang? Does dark matter and dark energy drive changes on the earth?

An emerging theoretical discipline may not yet be sentenced to death.

Requirements: Develop the Earth's expansion theory from the perspective of dark energy, preferably linked to the Big Bang, and solve the earthquake problem from the Earth's expansion theory to serve the world.

Bonus: Involved subject experience? ? ? ,integral? ? ? , the rest of the rewards? ? ? 】

Zhou Yi squeezed his hand. This task was expected.

It’s just right to combine it with the physics task of Task 4. Submit it together when the time comes and gain a huge amount of physics experience.

Mathematics can really be put aside for a while. After all, LV6 has solved countless number theory conjectures.

The Philippine Prize cannot be escaped no matter how hard it is run.

Maybe it will be better if you make a good application.

Just when Zhou Yi was about to continue checking the literature, a phone call came in.

It's the guy in the black jacket calling.

Zhou Yi was a little uneasy because the pie he drew was

Too big and too tempting.

Maybe they will be criticized as unrealistic and unreasonable ideas.

So this phone call is likely to determine whether the higher-ups support you or not.

When my teacher Qiu Chengtong applied to build CEPC, it didn't come true. Now Zhou Yi needs so many people to build it.

The possibility of rejection is also high.

Because it might just be a waste of time for the people.

Moreover, this matter must not be hidden from the domestic people, let alone from all countries around the world.

Under public opinion, the pressure may reach a peak.

If some jealous people in the country or people hostile to Zhou Yi cause trouble, it will make things even more difficult.

Things are going to take a turn for the worse.

Geodynamics seems to have made a resurgence in the past two years, and it is related to dark matter and dark energy.
