From top student in college to scientific research powerhouse

Chapter 64: I'm just interested, so I'll analyze it...

Second floor conference room.

The project meeting, chaired by Zhu Bingkun, officially began. He gave a speech, first reviewing the work done in the previous semester.

This includes proving errors through preliminary experiments, discovering new physical phenomena, and finding new directions for research, among other things.

From setbacks to success, and from success to new hope, the whole speech was so overwhelmed that everyone in the meeting room was drowsy, and some people were even whispering loudly in protest.

It wasn't until Zhu Bingkun mentioned 'increasing individual project stipends this semester' that everyone quieted down again.

The next speaker was Chen Shuai, who mainly talked about the magnetic-related issues discovered by the data research institute.

After explaining the problem, I encouraged everyone to conduct more experiments to find this correlation.

The last one is Xue Kun.

Xue Kun was more direct, and he spoke about the areas that most researchers and doctoral students are most concerned about.

experiment!

They all revolve around the experiment; the general direction and methods of the experimental work, as well as the allocation of tasks, are what most people are concerned about.

While the three researchers were speaking, Zhang Minghao only listened casually for a few minutes and found that none of it had anything to do with him, so he started studying his newly acquired abilities.

"Associative Perception".

The description of this ability is: 'You can determine the relationship between what you understand and the problem.'

The introduction to *Correct Perception* states, "You can judge the correctness of the conclusions you understand."

Comparing the descriptions of the two abilities reveals that the new ability is somewhat difficult to understand.

What exactly does the connection between transactions and problems refer to?
How to determine this?

He tried to understand for a long time, but it was still a bit unclear. Suddenly, he heard Xue Kun talking about the work of 'adjusting the magnetic properties of bismuth telluride for experimental distribution'.

"Yup!"

He immediately realized what was happening and tried to use his ability to determine the 'theoretical properties of tinene' and the 'surface magnetism of bismuth telluride'. Feedback information immediately appeared in his mind.

One is that a connection exists.

Furthermore, the connection must reach a certain level.

The idea that "the correlation reaches a certain level" is a very vague feeling, like a person's judgment of the size of a number. Is '500' big? It's small compared to 1000.

The degree of correlation can only be clearly understood through comparison.

Zhang Minghao understood somewhat, and he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

This ability is incredible!

Previously, based on his accurate perception, he was able to determine that 'magnetic correlation' existed.

That judgment was based on Chen Shuai's research findings.

If you try to determine whether there is a correlation between the magnetic properties of bismuth telluride substrates and the theoretical properties of tinene, it is impossible to get any results.

"Associative Perception" can make judgments directly; as long as there are things and problems that are understood, a judgment can be formed.

"Could it be used in other areas? For example, to solve a mathematical problem?"

Goldbach's Conjecture?

"Then, find a mathematical method, the most commonly used sieve method, and see if there is a correlation between the two?"

The next moment, information was relayed in my mind.

The association exists!

Although we can determine that a relationship exists, it is difficult to determine the degree of that relationship.

Zhang Minghao just came up with another idea, "The latest p-adic method?"

The association exists!

At the same time, the brain also provided feedback on the degree of correlation, which was much weaker than that of the screening method.

When comparing them in this way, the degree of correlation becomes difficult to discern.

"Both p-adic and sieve methods are related to Goldbach's conjecture. The stronger correlation with sieve methods suggests that sieve methods are easier to solve Goldbach's conjecture than p-adic methods?"

"Or is it that neither method can solve this conjecture, but they are merely related?"

Zhang Minghao couldn't make a judgment, but he gained some understanding of "Associative Perception".

The concept of "correlation sensing" is clearly demonstrated in experiments; it can easily identify bismuth telluride substrate characteristics that are related to the theoretical properties of tinene.

"If we could find more factors and conduct experiments on the whole picture, wouldn't the research make great progress?"

With that in mind, he couldn't wait any longer.

……

After Xue Kun finished explaining the experimental work, Zhu Bingkun said a few more words, mainly clarifying the research direction and talking about his confidence in the new direction.

This also serves as a morale booster for the entire project team.

A few months ago, a new physical phenomenon was discovered in the laboratory, and the research became the focus of the international physics community.

That research was significant and meaningful, but it had nothing to do with the other people in the lab.

The metamaterials properties research project is directly related to them, but the project has not made much progress for a long time. Even if the direction is clear, it is hard to say whether the so-called magnetic correlation can be discovered in the future.

Therefore, it is also necessary to shout slogans appropriately to express confidence in the new direction.

When Zhu Bingkun announced the end of the meeting, Chen Lanjun and female researcher Fang Huimin walked towards Zhang Minghao and quickly surrounded him.

Fang Huimin looked him up and down and asked, "Zhang Minghao, what kind of training have you been doing?" "I've become stronger, more handsome, and my whole demeanor is different."

Chen Lanjun grabbed Zhang Minghao's arm and exclaimed in surprise, "Look, even the skin on his arm has improved!"

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"

Fang Huimin joked, "How did you know? Do you touch it often?"

“We sit together every day, who doesn’t know who?” Chen Lanjun didn’t care at all.

Zhang Minghao quickly pulled his arm away, and said dejectedly, "Did you even consider my feelings as the person involved?"

"Then tell me quickly! How did you train? Details!"

"Yes, I also want to exercise."

As the two questioned each other, several doctoral students who hadn't left listened intently.

Zhang Minghao looked around and revealed, "During the holiday, I found a fitness coach named Wu Xiaodong, who is a graduate student at a sports university. He has been guiding me."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, found the contacts, and read out Wu Xiaodong's phone number.

This tactic is called shifting the blame eastward...

No, mentioning Wu Xiaodong is actually helping him get clients.

A group of people quickly wrote it down.

Even Zhu Bingkun, who was far away, silently took a pen and made a note, thinking that he would consult Wu Xiaodong if he ever needed to work out in the future.

The two women talked to Zhang Minghao for a long time.

Zhu Bingkun couldn't stand it anymore and quickly scolded, "Are you all just sitting around doing nothing?"

"You've finished all your work? You've finished your thesis!?"

"Disperse immediately!"

Everyone's gone now.

Zhang Minghao also wanted to leave the conference room, but was stopped by Zhu Bingkun and his two companions.

"Our next step is to conduct large-scale experiments. With more experiments and more data, we may be able to find evidence that there is a correlation between the magnetic properties of bismuth telluride and the theoretical properties of tinene."

Xue Kun said earnestly.

Zhu Bingkun and Chen Shuai also looked over; they wanted to hear Zhang Minghao's opinion.

Zhang Minghao has become a key figure in the project team. The new direction was suggested by him, and his past research results have proven his ability.

Zhang Minghao nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Is it difficult to verify magnetic correlation experimentally?"

"It's hard."

Zhu Bingkun said, "Professor Chen Shuai discovered a connection, but it was very vague. He also conducted many experiments last semester, but the results were still very vague."

"For problems like this, we need to find clear signals to prove it, such as the experimental product having properties close to the theoretical properties of tinene."

"Otherwise, we would have to rely on large-scale experiments to verify the data, but large-scale experiments mean that the correlation is weak."

If the connection is weak, the results will naturally be limited.

Zhang Minghao also realized that the magnetic correlation existed, but he was not clear about the specific degree of correlation.

Based on the experimental results, the correlation does not seem to be that strong.

Increasing the surface static magnetism of bismuth telluride can help the experimental product develop the theoretical properties of stanene, but the improvement is so small that it cannot be detected.

In addition, there may be other interfering factors.

The experiment is a very complex process with many interfering factors, and the influence of magnetic correlation may be masked by some of these factors.

Zhang Minghao pondered for a moment and then asked, "Could we find more correlations, change multiple values, and conduct experiments together?"

Zhu Bingkun and Xue Kun both looked at Chen Shuai.

Chen Shuai said awkwardly, "I found three connections, but you only believe one."

He shook his head and said, "Data analysis isn't that easy. I spent my whole vacation looking at data..."

Zhu Bingkun and Xue Kun were also sighing.

Research is too difficult.

Zhang Minghao thought for a moment and then said, "Teacher Chen, could you help me grant me some access?"

"I'll also take a look at the experimental data and try to analyze it; maybe I'll discover something."

The trio looked over here together.

Chen Shuai's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are you serious?"

"of course."

"Great!"

Chen Shuai immediately became very excited. He grabbed Zhang Minghao's shoulder and said, "You've finally figured it out!"

"With your talent, working in computing, data, and mathematics, focusing on the field of computational physics is the best choice!"

Zhang Minghao asked in surprise, "It can't be that serious, can it?"

"I'm just interested, I want to look at the data and try to do some analysis."
