Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

"I didn't expect...that they would produce groundbreaking experimental results so quickly!"

After learning the news, Xu Shou was very excited. Maybe the company would use this result to get out of the trough.

As the manager of the R\u0026D department, I also have hope of continuing.

After buying the earliest flight to Shengzhou, Xu Shou couldn't wait to fly there now.

Early the next morning, Xu Shou went to the airport and boarded the plane to Shengzhou.

After getting off the plane, Xu Shou didn't bother to go to the hotel first. He dragged his suitcase directly to Shengzhou University and found the laboratory where Xu Zhou was working.

"Manager Xu, long time no see."

Seeing the suitcase Xu Shou was dragging and the rush that appeared all over his body, Xu Zhou knew that Xu Shou was really eager for their research results.

"Mr. Xu, have you really developed a new silicon-based lithium battery with high battery capacity and long life?"

"Judging from the experimental phenomena obtained so far, this is indeed the case. Manager Xu, please come and sit down first, and we will talk slowly."

Xu Shou also realized that he was slightly out of sorts, so he took a sip of the water handed over by Sui Feng to calm down his emotions.

Ning Chen, who was analyzing the experimental data, also stopped what he was doing and came over to join Xu Zhou to introduce the progress of the laboratory these days.

Listening to Xu Zhou and Ning Chen's stories, Xu Shou became excited again.

Although Xu Shou is not a materials expert, as the general manager of the R\u0026D department, Xu Shou has a certain understanding of various industries.

Looking at various experimental data, Xu Shou has already seen the hope of successful application of this technology.

"That's pretty much all we can do at the moment. As for whether this technology can really be applied to commercial lithium batteries, your company's R\u0026D department still needs to conduct further experiments and tests."

After all, the work of Xu Zhou, Ning Chen and others is only responsible for the negative electrode material part of lithium batteries, and it is impossible to directly produce the entire lithium battery for new energy vehicles.

"Well, this work is enough. I will feedback these results to the company as soon as possible. If there are no problems, I will prepare to go through the project completion process."

Although the funds had been transferred to the laboratory's account before the project was completed, Xu Zhou and others could only use the experimental funds when needed for the experiment and could not directly convert them into their personal property.

"Okay, if there are any questions after that, we will contact you at any time."

After leaving Xuzhou's laboratory, Xu Shou dragged his luggage to the hotel and immediately contacted the headquarters.

"Mr. Wang, Shengzhou University has completed experiments on new silicon-based lithium battery anode materials. Judging from the experimental data, the entire experiment is very successful. Of course, our R\u0026D department still needs to verify the entire experiment. and evaluate the application value of these results..."

"Okay, Manager Xu, when you come back, prepare to start the verification experiment. The relevant results must be kept confidential. We must be the first to implement this technology in the industry."

"Don't worry, I have signed a confidentiality agreement with the Materials Laboratory of Shengzhou University. Then I will book the earliest flight back immediately and start verification experiments as soon as possible."

…

Ning Chen’s study and research work for this semester has also come to an end.

Ning Chen knew that the project completion process might take a long time. After all, this was a large project worth 10 million. If it was not done carefully, the results would be serious. Piati would definitely not finish it easily.

At this time, Ning Chen also wanted to take a break and go home to have a good New Year.

During the Spring Festival this year, Ning Chen undoubtedly became the focus of the family. After all, Ning Chen achieved too many outstanding results this year.

From the first SCI paper, to winning five gold medals and one silver medal in the autumn competition, to being published in "Nature" and "Journal of the American Mathematical Society"...

Because of Ning Chen's outstanding achievements, Ning Chen's parents look happy every day and they all look younger.

After the Spring Festival holiday, Ning Chen did not stay in Steel City for long and returned to Shengzhou to continue his research work.

"The research on Qiu Chengtong's conjecture has entered the final stage."

Although the "Journal of the American Mathematical Society" has not given review comments on Ning Chen's last paper, Ning Chen is confident that his paper can be successfully published.

However, Ning Chen has not yet found a good entry point for the last stage of research.

"How about trying Xiaozhi's current ability first?"

Ning Chen didn't really put his hope in Xiaozhi, he just wanted to know how far Xiaozhi's ability had improved after these days of study.

Ning Chen first opened the system interface, found Xiaozhi's corresponding module, and looked at Xiaozhi's various data.

[Artificial Intelligence: Xiaozhi]

[Grade: E grade (864/10000)]

[Ability: Voice chat, intelligent search, question answering (Mathematics: Level F)]

"Yes, experience is accumulated very quickly."

Although there is still a long way to go before upgrading, Xiaozhi's experience growth rate is already many times faster than before.

In addition to the rapid accumulation of experience points, another thing that caught Ning Chen's attention was Xiaozhi's newly acquired ability.

"It seems that the ability to answer questions should be stronger than other abilities. Otherwise, there would not be a separate F grade."

For example, capabilities such as voice chat are very basic in themselves, and there is no need to divide them into different levels.

But Ning Chen didn't know what kind of level this F-level rating represented.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen planned to find some college entrance examination mathematics questions and give Xiaozhi a test.

In order to prevent Xiaozhi from searching for answers directly on the Internet, Ning Chen specially modified some questions.

"Ash Ketchum!"

【Here you are, Master】

"Go and finish this set of college entrance examination papers."

[Received, Xiaozhi will start to answer now]

Only ten minutes passed before Ning Chen received Xiaozhi's reply again.

[Master, Xiaozhi has finished answering the test paper]

Ning Chen was also a little surprised when he heard Xiaozhi's reply.

"So fast? It's only been ten minutes."

Even for Ning Chen to complete this set of test papers, it would probably take about half an hour at the earliest.

For Ning Chen, it was easy to just find the ideas for solving the questions, but after all, writing also took time, and it was definitely impossible to do it faster with just his hands.

Xiaozhi relies on computer artificial intelligence. As long as it finds the correct problem-solving logic, this speed is far from its limit.

Next, Ning Chen began to grade Xiaozhi's test paper.

What makes Ning Chen satisfied is that Xiaozhi's answer sheet has a very high accuracy rate, and even when answering questions, he can also give his own writing process.

"Not bad, 136 points, which is considered a high score among high school students."

Xiaozhi can solve all problems involving typical models and various calculations very well.

But Xiaozhi now also has some small flaws. Sometimes it is easy to have misunderstandings in the understanding of the questions, and the proof process of the proof questions is also somewhat different from human thinking.

However, Ning Chen is quite satisfied with Xiaozhi's performance. If he trains Xiaozhi a little, it will be enough to replace any question search software.

"Xiaozhi Xiaozhi, please provide me with some ideas to continue solving Qiu Chengtong's conjecture."

[Qiu Chengtong's conjecture was proposed by Qiu Chengtong after overcoming the "Calabi conjecture" that the Chernese class is negative and zero. He believed that the problem of the first Chern class being positive can be transformed into a stability problem in algebraic geometry...]

Listening to Xiaozhi's answer, Ning Chen couldn't help but smile.

With Xiaozhi's current ability, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to answer questions of this level now.

"Okay, don't be embarrassed anymore. I'd better leave this kind of thing to myself."

In the following time, Ning Chen carefully reviewed the contents of his two previous papers, and used Xiaozhi's intelligent search function to find a large amount of relevant information.

This gave Ning Chen a rough idea of ​​how to solve the next problem, but these ideas alone were far from enough.

"Let's use the brain simulation function again."

As the research has entered the final critical stage, Ning Chen does not intend to skimp on the number of simulations.

After being fully prepared, Ning Chen simulated in his mind:

"System, start brain simulation simulation!"

[The brain simulation function has been turned on for the host]

In an instant, Ning Chen felt that he had entered that deep simulated world.
