Chapter 212 This project is no child’s play
After confirming the outcome of the discussion, the Chinese Academy of Sciences sent a message to Ning Chen, expressing the hope that Ning Chen could come over in person.
Seeing the message sent to him by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ning Chen did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
Although some of the research projects that Ning Chen did through the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not be used as public personal results due to confidentiality reasons, they were all recorded in Ning Chen’s confidential files. For Ning Chen, The selection of various professional titles in the future will be of great help.
The bonuses for these achievements were also very generous and were credited to Ning Chen’s account on time.
Of course, these are not Ning Chen's ultimate goals in participating in these projects. Ning Chen's ultimate goal is far more ambitious than these.
After Ning Chen replied that he was willing to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to participate in the discussion, the Chinese Academy of Sciences helped Ning Chen book a flight ticket and paid Ning Chen a subsidy.
After all, Ning Chen was invited by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences this time, and the treatment must be different from the previous two times.
When they arrived at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ning Chen was not arranged in an ordinary staff dormitory again. Instead, he was assigned a room with two bedrooms and one living room according to the level of professors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This made Ning Chen feel a little too grand. .
After dinner, Ning Chen was invited to Yue Jiafeng's office.
"Teacher Ning, hello, I am Yue Jiafeng."
Yue Jiafeng knew that Ning Chen was now a researcher at Shengzhou University, so he deliberately changed his name to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen is obviously still not very accustomed to the title "Teacher Ning", because Ning Chen has not yet taken on the teaching task, and he does not have much contact with students. He still does various research work.
“Hello, Academician Yue.”
“Mr. Ning, we studied the results documents you sent before and felt that these results have great application potential. However, because there are no You are here, we have a lot of details that we haven’t fully figured out yet, so I’d rather bother you to come here.”
Yue Jiafeng was very polite to Ning Chen, which was a treatment that many professors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences could not enjoy.
"It's okay, Academician Yue. In fact, when I sent this result document, I was ready to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Ning Chen had no hope, they only relied on themselves A result document can directly apply these results to various fields.
In fact, Ning Chen has some bigger ideas.
After Yue Jiafeng and Ning Chen chatted for a while, other experts arrived one after another, and Yue Jiafeng organized everyone to discuss.
Before Ning Chen arrived, everyone had prepared the questions they were going to ask Ning Chen this time, and started asking Ning Chen in order.
These questions are very professional, because they have been carefully discussed by everyone, and none of them can be answered easily.
Ning Chen didn't know what questions everyone would ask him before, and he didn't prepare specifically. However, he answered these questions fluently and solved everyone's questions very smoothly.
"Experts, do you have any other questions you would like to ask?"
After answering the questions raised by the experts, Ning Chen looked around the experts, waiting for them to continue. Ask questions.
Many experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences here had close contact with Ning Chen for the first time, and were shocked by Ning Chen's superb professional abilities.
Seeing that other experts did not continue to ask questions, Yue Jiafeng said:
"Teacher Ning, your answer just now is very exciting, and we basically understand every detail of your result. But I Another question I want to ask you is, how should we use this result to apply it to other fields? "
Yue Jiafeng's ideas do not just stay at the level of theoretical knowledge? , but think about the problem from an application perspective.
And this is the issue that Ning Chen is most concerned about.
"Academician Yue, fellow experts, judging from the accuracy of current supercomputer solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, we can make new breakthroughs in many fields related to fluid mechanics. And now we only use Tianhe If No. 2’s 5% computing power can be used with higher computing power, the accuracy of the solution can be improved to another level.”
Hearing Ning Chen’s answer, Yue Jiafeng also agreed. I understood what Ning Chen was thinking.
"Teacher Ning, what you hope is that we will use supercomputing for a long time in the future to help us calculate accurate solutions to various Navier-Stokes equations?"
"Yes, Academician Yue, this is one of my thoughts. Although these calculations require a large capital investment, I feel that compared to its return, such capital investment is completely worth it. These calculation results can Let us make rapid progress in aerospace, aviation and other fields, and may even achieve a leading position in the world in the near future.”
Ning Chen’s words were not an exaggeration, but a detailed statement. After analysis and calculation, very impressive results were obtained.
This is one of the reasons why Ning Chen submitted this result to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If we only rely on Ning Chen alone, he will not have such a big influence, and he can only borrow a small part of the supercomputer's computing power for a short period of time. But it is different when it comes to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The resources that can be used are much larger, and the completion will have the power to promote the continuation of the project.
What Ning Chen needs to do is to make the Chinese Academy of Sciences realize the importance of this project and know that it is a project worth using resources to carry out, and Ning Chen himself will do his best. Use your best ability to help the project proceed smoothly.
After listening to Ning Chen’s thoughts, Yue Jiafeng nodded and said:
“Yes, Teacher Ning, we also feel that this is indeed a research project worthy of investing huge resources. We We will find ways to secure the computing power resources of various domestic supercomputers. In addition, our own super cloud computing center at the Chinese Academy of Sciences also has a lot of computing power resources that can be used. We can consider investing more computing power in the future. ”
Ning Chen was also excited by Yue Jiafeng's words. As expected, the resources that such a large academic institution could use were completely unmatched by Ning Chen alone.
If such a large amount of computing power can really be used, it can completely improve the accuracy of solving the Navier-Stokes equation.
Everyone was very excited about the results of this discussion, which ignited hope in their hearts.
After the discussion ended, Yue Jiafeng once again emphasized the confidentiality of the relevant results before letting everyone leave his office.
However, Ning Chen did not leave immediately. Yue Jiafeng also saw that Ning Chen seemed to have something to tell him, so he closed the office door and locked it.
"Teacher Ning, besides what you just said, do you have any other ideas?"
In fact, Yue Jiafeng also noticed a detail before, that is, Ning Chen was proposing the long-term use of supercomputers. When using computing power to solve the Navier-Stokes equations, he said that this was just one of his ideas.
“Yes, Academician Yue, I do have some other ideas, but this idea is not easy to implement.”
“It doesn’t matter, just say it, no matter what happens in the end Whether it can be realized or not, you always have to try first."
Yue Jiafeng knew that Ning Chen was also a very ambitious person. Ning Chen's level of thinking far exceeded Ning Chen's young age and appearance.
After getting Yue Jiafeng's consent, Ning Chen said in a deep voice:
"Academician Yue, are you an expert in quantum physics, right?"
Ning Chen had learned about the Yue family in detail before. After hearing Feng’s experience, Yue Jiafeng nodded and said:
“Yes, I study quantum physics. But now I don’t spend so much time on scientific research, and more time is spent on scientific research. Things like assessing the research value of some projects and deciding whether the project can be approved. "
Yue Jiafeng's situation is somewhat similar to Liu Xu. Of course, Yue Jiafeng's scientific research capabilities and the level of authority that can be used are all important. They are all much higher than Liu Xu.
After confirming this, Ning Chen continued:
"Academician Yue, what do you think of the research prospects of quantum computers?"
Hearing Ning Chen's question, Yue Jiafeng thought for a while Finally, he said:
“Quantum computers will be the trend in the future, but I think it is still difficult to achieve major breakthroughs in quantum computer research in a short period of time, at least there is still a long way to go before application. There is still a long way to go. And quantum computing has great limitations. Even if it enters the application stage, it will definitely not be able to completely replace conventional computers."
Yue Jiafeng's answer is more objective. As a quantum physicist. Yue Jiafeng, a scientific expert, has a better understanding of the various limitations in the quantum computing process.
Ning Chen was not surprised by this answer, because according to the normal development trajectory of the previous life, until ten years later, the applications of quantum computers are still very limited, and most of them are still in the experimental stage.
But after experiencing previous research on silicon-based negative electrode materials for lithium batteries, Ning Chen knew that the trajectory of the previous life could not absolutely explain the problem.
In this parallel world, Ning Chen has already changed a lot of things through his actions, and these effects even far exceed the ordinary butterfly effect.
As long as Ning Chen is willing to devote his energy to the research of quantum computers, it is entirely possible to greatly accelerate the development of quantum computers.
"Academician Yue, if I can give you a good quantum computer research plan, are you willing to consider setting up such a research project?"
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Yue Jiafeng didn't know how to answer for a moment.
In fact, when Ning Chen asked this question just now, Yue Jiafeng guessed what Ning Chen was thinking, but after all, the quantum computer research project is not a child's play. Even Yue Jiafeng did not dare to take it lightly. make a decision.
