From black technology to super engineering

Princeton, New Jersey.

6 o'clock in the morning.

Professor Huo Laien has always maintained a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Like most mathematicians, he has no interest in smartphones, thinking that every pixel of a small thing is a way to tempt people to waste their time.

Therefore, he is still using a small Apple 4S until now.

There is also a hidden meaning in this-it means that in the confrontation with presbyopia, he has the upper hand temporarily.

Professor Huo Laien got up from the bed, grabbed the phone and took a look, put on his nightgown, and then walked out of the bedroom.

After spending 20 minutes washing himself up and making coffee, he went to his study and opened his notebook while his wife prepared breakfast.

There seem to be two more emails this morning than yesterday.

After seeing that the sender's email address was nature.com, he became slightly excited.

Come to work.

The manuscript that requires him to do peer review is called "A Problem on the Escape Limit of Electrons Under the Yeming Field"

...

Half an hour later, Professor Hollyn changed his clothes, grabbed his wife's freshly baked sandwich, and went straight to the garage.

While starting the car, he also dialed Professor Dennis' cell phone.

"Dan, I order you to get up immediately and go to Yeming's arxiv page to read his latest paper on the escape limit of electrons."

On the phone, Professor Dennis' voice, which was a little confused and complaining, suddenly became sober: "What limit?"

"Electronic escape limit, you can tell by reading it - if you don't know, then I will consider complaining to MIT, you are a person of academic misconduct." Professor Hollyn took a bite of the sandwich: "That's it, five hours See you later, I'm going to pick up my driver now."

...

Boston, MA.

Vican Fusion Reactor Laboratory.

Since half a month ago, the discoverer of Ye's Equation repeatedly pulled it out as a negative teaching material at an academic report meeting, the fusion reactor named Vican suspended all progressive experiments and returned to the design. on the road.

Frankly speaking, it is very uncomfortable to be "cut off hope" in a few words from the triumphant progress.

It took them half a month to analyze the data, and the final result proved that Yeming was right!

Therefore, even when the technocrats from the Department of Energy came to say that they would go all out to coordinate their materials, Professor Dennis' team was still frustrated.

Even if they can get the new dysprosium carbon compound Ye Dysprosium, they are really confused when faced with the "confusion" problem about neutron escape that Yeming said at the academic conference.

But today...

"Have you read all the preprinted papers?" In the conference room, Professor Dennis was full of energy, looking at the team members with burning eyes.

Everyone nodded.

This question about the limit is not difficult to understand, but it is complicated because there are too many function variables-in fact, when Ye Ming proposed that there is a limit for the ye field constraint, the academic community has already actively studied the limit. exploration.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Yeming threw out the limit formula only half a month later.

"Talk about your thoughts."

As Professor Dennis' voice fell, everyone who was nodding just now immediately fell silent.

What is there to talk about?

If it is said that they were lucky in addition to being confused before, then with the release of this Ye Ming limit, it means that theoretically, from the purest mathematics, they completely negate their previous achievements and cut off They followed the path they had planned to move forward.

The kind that gives no hope.

But it is impossible not to answer the professor's words.

After everyone made eye contact, Meng Jiade, a disciple of Professor Dennis and now an associate professor at Harvard University, stood up.

"Professor, in fact, we can obtain many sets of valid solutions from this limit."

Meng Jiade crossed his hands, frowned slightly, and said while thinking: "In this way, we can directly screen out a lot of materials that do not meet the requirements, saving us time."

"Well, continue!" Professor Dennis nodded.

"Then, we can also use this limit to design new materials, and it doesn't necessarily need Ye Dy." Meng Jiade paused: "Of course, at present, it seems that Ye Dy should be the first known material that meets the requirements. Yes, I just don’t know how far it can support the reaction.”

Professor Dennis pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head: "The first thing we need to understand is to trust the intuition of a scientist, especially a genius scientist."

Everyone immediately looked at Professor Dennis.

"There is no doubt that Yeming is the most talented scientist of the 21st century."

"Therefore, we must absolutely believe that when he pointed out that Dysprosium Ye can be used as a confinement device, then Dysprosium Ye is a material capable of confinement reactions and continuous confinement—not to mention, in the report meeting, he even mentioned antimatter constraint."

"Everyone, don't forget that Ye Di's name has Ye in it. This is his name, and it was invented and synthesized by him—even if he only vaguely felt the existence of Ye Ming's limit at the beginning, the limit was also created by Ye Di. properties to derive inferences from.

Listening to Professor Dennis' analysis, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"But it's not important. The lack of a known material is never the most important." Professor Dennis said with a smile, and glanced at his watch again: "I have a vague idea in my mind now, it depends on whether I can get along with someone The gentlemen have reached a consensus."

As his voice fell, there were hurried footsteps outside the office.

A moment later, the figure of Professor Horien appeared at the door.

"Dan, if we combine Ye Ming's limit with Ye's equation, we will get a new set of solutions, which may be used in space to solve the problem of escaped neutrons!"

Professor Dennis got up instantly: "That's right!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Who says there is no hope?

Seeing the excitement of the two, Mengjiade blinked, held back a few times and finally couldn't hold back.

"Professor, what about the base material?"

The two professors quickly calmed down.

After a while, Professor Dennis snorted softly: "Wait for the trade department to find a way."

Province pay.

Ye Ming soon received the acceptance notice from Nature, but...how should I put it?

To put it bluntly, posting an article on nature now is not too exciting for him.

Instead, Professor Hollyn—yes, his reviewer is Professor Hollyn—sent an email saying that he combined Ye’s equation with Ye Ming’s limit to obtain a solution to the escaped neutrons. This made Ye Ming feel a little excited and a little novel.

After all, that's not how he designed it.

"He Mo, help me make an appointment with the members of the fusion research group."

After reading Professor Huo Laien's email, Ye Ming looked up at He Mo with a smile.

"Okay—is it going to be a video conference?"

"No, a week later, come to the provincial government for a meeting in a week, and we will finalize the design of the reactor."

"OK!"

"Well... By the way, do you know where the houses in the provincial capital are cheaper?"

He Mo looked up, with a ghostly expression on his face: "You want to buy a house?"

Ye Ming was even more puzzled: "I can't buy a house?"

"..."

He Mo was stunned.

After a while, she chuckled.

"It's nothing, I suddenly feel...as if a god has descended to earth."

——Although Ye Ming behaves like a mortal and neighbor, in her eyes, this is the most intelligent and sexy brain in human beings!

That is a walking supercomputer.

How could he do such an incomparably vulgar thing as buying a house...
