Tech Hammer

After roughly integrating the information, he raised his head and saw Lu Dongyi sitting in his seat. Ning Wei smiled apologetically: "Senior Brother Lu is here!"

"Well, I just arrived five minutes ago. Seeing that you were busy, I didn't want to call you." Lu Dongyi nodded, not caring about Ning Wei's "arrogance", and he was already used to it anyway.

In fact, he himself is the same. When thinking about problems, he often ignores what is happening around him, which is very easy to understand. He really doubted whether Mr. Jiang could tolerate being ignored from time to time.

After all, people like them often don't look like normal people once they fall into a state of concentration.

"It's okay, just call me next time. I agreed with Director Tian to report at nine o'clock. Let's go first, Senior Brother Lu." Ning Wei said hello to Lu Dongyi, then stood up and prepared to go to his Instructor report.

"Oh! But it's already nine-twenty now..." Lu Dongyi said looking at Ning Wei's back who had stood up.

"Ah? It's okay. Director Tian won't care about these details." Ning Wei ran out of the office as he said that.

Lu Dongyi shook his head. This was probably because he felt confident about being favored. Then he lowered his head and turned his attention to the direction he was studying. Well, it happened to be used in Ningwei Space.

…

"Director Tian... how about I come back to you later?" When Ning Wei opened the door of Tian Yanzhen's office and saw that someone was already talking to Tian Yanzhen, he shrank and said.

Tian Yanzhen glanced at his student and asked, "Didn't you say you would come at nine o'clock?"

Ning Wei stood in front of the door and scratched his head, and explained: "Yes, but I couldn't sleep after I came back yesterday, so I changed the program. I just saw that there was still half an hour to organize the information first, so as not to forget it later, and the results were organized I was so focused that I forgot about time..."

Okay, this is a great reason.

For a tutor, forgetting time because of studying knowledge is definitely worthy of forgiveness. Of course, this reason also has a prerequisite, that is, to be a student, you must first achieve results. And this one happens to be Ning Wei's longest board. Nothing else, he has a lot of achievements.

"Come in and sit down while I discuss something with Professor Tan first." Tian Yanzhen pointed to the sofa in the office and said.

Lu Dongyi was right. Those who are favored can indeed feel confident.

"Hello, Professor Tan, I'm sorry to disturb you." Ning Wei said hello to Professor Tan honestly as soon as he walked in.

"Haha, Ning Wei, I know you. You are the treasure of our Academician Tian. Just now we were saying that our breakthrough of 0 Fields Medals in China might fall on you." Professor Tan smiled at Ning Wei. He smiled and said politely.

"Old Tan, don't praise him. If you don't praise him, he's already drifting to no end. No matter how much you praise him, the earth won't be able to accommodate him. Ning Wei, this academician Tan Dejie is the vice president of the School of New Materials and a pillar of the school. Academician Tan contacted many of the cooperation projects between the school and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and several key laboratories in the School of Materials were established under the leadership of Academician Tan." Tian Yanzhen introduced.

"Academician Tan is so awesome!" Ning Wei praised sincerely.

Well, I just came to report on my work, and met another academician, which made Ning Wei feel that Yanbei University was indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

"Haha, don't listen to your Director Tian bragging about me. Why am I coming to you, Lao Tian, ​​for help because I am so good? Are you indirectly promoting yourself?" Tan Dejie smiled and said.

"Asking for help? Academician Tan, are you encountering problems with your project?" Ning Wei couldn't help but ask as he sat on the sofa.

"Well, I have a project in collaboration with the National Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory. It was going quite smoothly, but I encountered some difficulties in the final stage. I need a PhD or someone who is proficient in group theory and tensor analysis. The professor went to help us do some calculations on the laboratory data to see if we can find the problem through mathematical analysis. This is not the first time. Your director Tian has given our laboratory a lot of support in this regard." Tan Dejie smiled. explained.

When Ning Wei heard this, he suddenly thought of March.

Then he looked at Tan Dejie with eager eyes and said, "Hey, Professor Tan, speaking of group theory and tensor analysis, I happen to know a little bit about it!"

Before Tan Dejie, who looked astonished, could answer, Tian Yan, who was sitting behind the desk, couldn't help it anymore: "Ning Wei, have you been idle again recently? Your application for a top-notch project has just been received, and you have time to study the materials. ? Besides, your major is not group theory or tensor analysis? What's the matter?"

Ning Wei looked at Tian Yanzhen and argued with reason: "You can't say that, Director Tian. Although I have not studied tensor analysis specifically, I am good at differential geometry. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the physics of partial differential equations. The formal expression is in the form of a tensor, and I am familiar with partial differential calculus! As for the concept of group theory, it is a bit too big, but my seniors often ask me to help them solve problems that require this aspect."

"And there's no need to rush for top-notch projects. I've already roughly laid out the outline. I can just go back and add content. To be honest, I'm not really interested in materials science, but I'm really interested in materials science models recently. Interested, maybe this time I can verify something."

Tian Yanzhen was stunned by his words.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Wei almost gave him a psychological shadow as a mentor.

Generally speaking, most of the PhDs under my command are quite resistant to this kind of secondment to do laboratory work. Not only does it waste time, but the results do not belong to them, so they all avoid it. More importantly, this kind of thing is often purely helpful. If you meet a polite professor, you can give him a reward after the project is completed. If you meet a less polite professor, you often just say thank you and the whole thing is done.

Of course, whether there are rewards or not sometimes depends on the contribution of the math PhDs who help during the research process. Sometimes some paths in the laboratory are not working. We hope to find new paths through mathematical analysis. If successful, Often the effect can be reflected; but sometimes it is just a matter of minimizing laboratory workload through mathematical modeling. In this case, it is difficult to define its contribution to the entire project.

If the project fails in the end, it will lead to disgrace.

Haven't you ever seen that every time you ask for help, a dignified academician always comes to your door and asks for help with all kinds of high-profile hats and soft words? If it's really a good thing, there's no way he can come directly to the door. It's just a phone call and the staff will arrange it...

In short, this was purely a thankless task. Tian Yanzhen had no intention of letting Ning Wei go into this muddy water. As a result, the little guy was so excited that no matter how he winked, it was useless.

"Haha, Xiao Ning is indeed enlightened. Now that I say that, I'll leave it to you! Haha, Lao Tian, ​​you are so interesting. I came here to ask for help, and you sent your strongest child to help. If the project succeeds, I I'll treat you to a meal, and you can choose the place. But Ning Wei, this project is a bit tight, can you coordinate it?" Tan Dejie said with a smile without waiting for Tian Yanzhen to speak against it.

"Wait... Ning Wei, are you sure you want to help? Let me tell you first. Professor Tan has elite soldiers. The problems they encounter in the laboratory are often very difficult. Ah. And many times it is a temporary difficulty. Maybe others can solve the problem on their own before you have time to play your role. But it is not as challenging as you think."

"And didn't you just confirm your relationship with that classmate Jiang from the School of Economics recently? Don't you need more time? Let me tell you, projects that are on schedule are the most time-consuming. When the time comes, the laboratory will answer the phone One phone call can make you doubt your life."

Tian Yanzhen said.

I have no choice but to hurt my beloved disciple.

He originally thought that Ning Wei could study mathematics well during the most golden period of his life. Who would dare to think that this guy is obviously very talented in mathematics, but his hobbies are obviously too broad.

People can spend their entire lives studying just one branch of mathematics, but Ning Wei's interests are spread across all branches. For example, he never thought that Ning Wei even knew a little bit about extremely professional tensor analysis. …

"Haha, Director Tian, ​​look at what you said, okay, okay, okay, I'm here to express my opinion today. If this project succeeds, I, Tan Dejie, must give Dr. Ning credit! Of course, the project is indeed in a hurry. Otherwise, there would be no need for Xiao Ning to provide support, but since the laboratory can work flexibly, Xiao Ning can just copy the data and do the analysis anywhere."

"In school, when you fall in love, shouldn't you take your girlfriend to do self-study exercises together? She learned from her, so Xiao Ning analyzed our data and went on three or five dates this way. Not only will the love be sweeter, but the project will also be better. By the way, it's done. Isn't this more romantic than cuddling at Weiming Lake? Okay, that's it. Xiaoning, give me your phone number, and you and Director Tian will chat. I'll find a doctoral student in the afternoon. I’ll contact you and take you to our laboratory for a tour first. I’m very optimistic about you. Mathematics should be applied to various fields!”

Saying that he did not give Tian Yanzhen a chance to object, Tan Dejie left Ning Wei's phone number, then greeted Tian Yanzhen with a smile, and walked away, leaving space for the master and apprentice.

Then Tian Yanzhen broke out as expected: "Ning Wei, tell me if you are free? Don't you understand that my hint is so obvious? Didn't you see Professor Tan Dejie smiling at you all the time? It's easy to talk to him? I'm telling you, it's all an illusion! You'll know when you enter the laboratory. The laboratory is not going well. That guy can turn into a explosive bag in a blink of an eye. Who has to scold the other! He won't let his temper get angry. I wonder if you are here to help!"

"Why are you grabbing this kind of job? Isn't your project important? The big data basic theory project you said yourself has just started, and there are only phased results, what? This project is not enough for you? What if you are so energetic? , in your free time, you continue to advance the NS equation, and you study the Riemann Hypothesis. If you are not interested in the Riemann Hypothesis, study Hilbert's 23 problems. You can always find something you like, right? You put Euler into it. It’s okay if the irrationality of the constants is proven! Why are you going to the murky waters of someone else’s materials laboratory?”

"In this case, I will call your Senior Brother Zhou here later and leave this task to him. Just do your research quietly. You must give results for the top youth's project within a year. I'll ask you to leave it alone. How about focusing on some messy things tonight?"

Okay, it looks like Lao Tian is probably really angry, but Ning Wei thinks it's not a big problem.

"Director Tian, ​​don't worry. They don't get any advantage when I go this time. It's us who get the advantage. Think about it, I'm just going to get the data from other people's laboratories for free to verify my ideas. If I really help you It saves face; if I mess up, I will get scolded at worst, and I am the most resistant to scolding! And I believe that with Academician Tan’s cunningness, he must have set aside enough time for the project team, and he will not really wait until I came to ask for help because I was extremely anxious!”

Tian Yanzhen blinked, looked at Ning Wei, and asked, "Okay, tell me, what ideas do you need to verify with the data from their materials laboratory?"

Ning Wei answered honestly: "To test a program's ability to process similar data, didn't Academician Tan say that it is necessary to perform tensor analysis on laboratory data to find anomalies? In fact, it is just about finding anomalies from the big data model. Almost all of them are questions about the basics of mathematics. You don’t know, but I often feel sleepy when studying pure mathematics recently. I will definitely go over Hilbert’s 23 questions and study them again when I am in good spirits.”

Tian Yan was really speechless. He almost forgot why he asked Ning Wei to come here...

Oh, by the way, it seems that I just asked him to give a report, and then typed a few sentences to ask him to spend more time on mathematics research, spend less time thinking about other messy things, and think carefully before speaking. Now he can't even listen to Ning Ning. The mood for reporting is gone.

I'm afraid that a month will be wasted again if that guy Lao Tan wants to go, but the little guy in front of me is still happy with it, and I don't know who will take advantage of whom in the end...

"Okay, okay, you must go, but since you took the initiative to take on this task, you still have to be careful, so as not to help out and end up with a lot of empty words!" Tian Yanzhen waved his hand.

He found that every time he saw Ning Wei, he was both proud and tired.

Needless to say, the reason for pride is that students who can earn face by being released are always rare. I am tired because this guy is obviously very energetic and talented in mathematics, but he is unwilling to put all his energy into pure mathematics. In the study of mathematics...

When did pure mathematics become so useless? Does studying pure mathematics make him sleepy? Is this really human language?

"Don't worry, Director Tian, ​​don't worry, I will definitely try my best. If this project fails in the end, it must be because there is something wrong with the direction of their project. It's definitely not because we failed to help!"

"Okay, go get ready! The guy said it was afternoon and he would send someone to arrest you and take you to the laboratory later! Once you experience it, you will know that some things don't need to be so active." Tian Yanzhen He said angrily.
