Chapter 220 This is more difficult than doing the project
"You have already started traveling on a business trip now. It's amazing."
The former commander didn't think much about it, thinking that Ning Chen was just going to another place to study. It's like a meeting, but this also makes the former commander feel envious.
If the former commander knew that Ning Chen was going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do a research project on quantum computers, I don’t know what kind of shocking reaction he would have.
Ning Chen did not continue talking about this matter, but said:
"Commander Yuan, I want to do a new project these days. Are you interested in joining me?"
Ning Chen really wanted to do a project when he returned to Shengzhou University. After getting paid, you have to do something to repay the school's trust in you.
Ning Chen did not give him this special opportunity just because of his relationship with him, but he really valued his ability and felt that he could go a long way in scientific research. Far.
Although the current coach does not have much experience yet, after training for a period of time, Ning Chen believes that the former coach will be at least stronger than Sui Feng.
The former commander was very surprised by Ning Chen’s sudden invitation and said in surprise:
"Am I...? Ning Chen, I just came to the laboratory not long ago. I haven't done any projects at all. I just helped Teacher Xu and Brother Sui Feng."
"Commander Yuan, you There is no doubt that I started by helping Sui Feng, but now I have published some pretty good papers. Maybe it will be easier for me to become an excellent researcher."
Hearing what Ning Chen said, the former commander couldn't help but laugh.
"Ning Chen, if I can really help you with some small help, of course I am willing to join in. But I am worried that I am too stupid and will delay your project."
< br>"You don't have to worry about these at all. I will arrange tasks according to the situation and will not give you a chance to delay."
Ning Chen's words made Yuan Shuai gradually let go of his doubts, and he no longer worried that he would affect Ning Chen's project.
In the evening, Ning Chen returned home and thought about the research topic.
Regarding the research on superconductivity, Ning Chen plans to wait until the application for the scientific research fund for outstanding youths is received before proceeding. This time, he will work on other topics for the time being.
At this time, Ning Chen also felt a little entangled in the choice of topic.
If the topic is too simple, Ning Chen will feel that the research is not meaningful enough to arouse his interest.
And if it is a topic with high research value, Ning Chen will also be worried that the results will be applied and should not be published publicly.
Such a topic is something Ning Chen doesn’t want to choose now. If he always does this kind of results that cannot be published publicly, it will be easy for others to think that he has been doing nothing since he stayed in school.
“Hey, how do you feel? Sometimes choosing a topic is more difficult than doing it.” Ning Chen sighed.
Ning Chen was thinking about asking Xu Zhou to recommend a topic to him again, but he couldn't always rely on others for this kind of thing. He had to have some direction of his own in the beginning.
After thinking about it, Ning Chen decided that it would be better to ask Xiaozhi for his opinion first.
Ning Chen first checked Xiaozhi's system interface data out of habit, and was a little surprised by Xiaozhi's changes.
Although Xiaozhi is still far from being upgraded, Xiaozhi's modeling processing capabilities have been quietly improved.
"Xiao Zhi's modeling processing ability...has reached D level!"
Xiao Zhi's upgrade speed in ability exceeded Ning Chen's expectations. It seems that before Ning Chen goes there During this period at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiaozhi learned a lot of new knowledge on his own.
Even if he is away from home for a long time, Ning Chen will always keep his computer and server turned on. Even if this requires Ning Chen to bear tens of thousands of yuan in electricity bills every year, Ning Chen feels that such an investment is worth it. .
In the excitement, Ning Chen said silently in his mind:
"Xiao Zhi Xiao Zhi!"
[Here you are, Master]
"Help me analyze it, currently I am suitable to carry out new topics in those research directions, and the direction needs to be more detailed.”
[Received, Xiaozhi is helping the master with the analysis...]
Ning Chen still trusts Xiaozhi's analysis very much, because Xiaozhi not only knows all of Ning Chen's publicly published results, but even those confidential results, Xiaozhi also knows.
This allows Xiaozhi to more accurately analyze Ning Chen’s existing capabilities and suitable research directions, and accurately recommend future research topics for Ning Chen.
After some complex modeling processing, Xiaozhi responded to Ning Chen.
[Master, Xiaozhi has completed the analysis process. The following are the research topics recommended by Xiaozhi for you...]
Hearing Xiaozhi’s electronically synthesized voice, Ning Chen focused his attention on the system interface.
Xiaozhi recommended dozens of research topics to Ning Chen at once, and sorted them from high to low according to the recommendation index.
Seeing these research topics, Ning Chen couldn't help but admire Xiaozhi's current level of intelligence.
Because Xiaozhi's recommendations are indeed very reasonable. These research directions are either related research that Ning Chen has done before, or they are areas in which Ning Chen has a relatively high level of ability. Compared with the system interface's ratings of Ning Chen's various subject levels, Xiaozhi's evaluation will be more detailed and can be refined to every very small research direction.
Looking at the research directions recommended by Xiaozhi, Ning Chen felt that many of them were worth trying.
"Well... let's study the research direction related to silicon first."
When Ning Chen was studying negative electrode materials for lithium batteries, he once studied a porous nano-silicon material. A direction that Chen is better at.
Ning Chen opened Xiaozhi’s specific modeling document on silicon research directions and studied it carefully.
After the modeling processing capabilities continue to be upgraded, Xiaozhi has more powerful functions than before, and can make more model predictions based on less information.
These predictions are not enough for Ning Chen to use them without thinking, but they are enough to provide Ning Chen with many valuable ideas and inspirations.
With Xiaozhi's help, Ning Chen started researching in these directions.
I don’t know how long it took, but Ning Chen suddenly became energetic and his eyes shone with joy.
“Yes...if femtosecond laser can be used to irradiate silicon, the new substances after irradiation may have some new properties!”
Thinking of this, Ning Chen continued to use small With intelligent modeling processing capabilities, you can present your ideas in the form of models.
After some optimization and polishing, Xiaozhi also believed that Ning Chen’s idea was highly feasible.
"Okay! Let's study this direction first and give it a try."
Even though Xiaozhi's abilities are becoming more and more powerful now, Ning Chen does not completely rely on Xiaozhi. He is still centered on himself and just lets Xiaozhi plays some auxiliary roles in summarizing analysis, providing inspiration, and testing and verification.
According to Ning Chen and Xiaozhi’s predictions, this new material will have more powerful light absorption capabilities than ordinary crystalline silicon.
If this new type of silicon material can be successfully developed, it will still have great potential value.
And this kind of research is not confidential. As long as some important details are not shown in the paper, there is no problem in publishing it publicly.
After confirming his idea, Ning Chen worked out an experimental plan overnight and prepared for the project application.
Ning Chen was very efficient. It only took one day to formulate the experimental plan and submit the project application form.
Ning Chen started researching the project in advance before the project application was officially approved.
It happened to be that Marshal Yuan had no classes on the weekend, so Ning Chen asked Marshal Yuan to come to the laboratory to prepare experiments with him.
The former commander also attached great importance to this experiment and was brought to the laboratory early, even earlier than Ning Chen.
"Commander, you came so early."
"I just arrived not long ago, so I came directly after breakfast."
"Well, let's go to the laboratory first."
After the two entered the laboratory, Ning Chen prepared for the experiment while explaining to Yuan Shuai his research topic, research ideas, and some precautions during the experiment.
The former commander also listened very carefully. In some important places, he did not forget to record Ning Chen's words.
As carrying a notebook is a habit of Yuan Shuai, Yuan Shuai thinks that he is not a smart person, so he can only make up for his lack of ability by working hard.
"How about it, Marshal Yuan, did I make it clear?"
"You made it very clear, but there are a few things I still don't quite understand."
"It's okay, just feel free to ask."
It's normal that the commander-in-chief couldn't understand everything Ning Chen said at once. After all, this is a very complex scientific research project. Ning Chen didn't Maybe like when I was tutoring Xu Yang, I explained it very carefully.
If it were Sui Feng, if there were any specific problems, he would probably raise them on the spot. If there were too many parts that he didn't understand, he would probably just get over it in a vague way.
Ning Chen did not think that the former commander had too many questions, but patiently answered the former commander's questions.
After Ning Chen’s patient explanation, the former commander finally basically understood Ning Chen’s thinking.
“I see, this time I basically understand. The core idea of this topic is to use the characteristics of femtosecond laser to modify the surface of silicon to obtain silicon materials with new properties.”< br>
“Yes, this is basically the idea. Of course, in future research, we will definitely face various problems.”
The process of scientific research is never as simple as planned. After hearing Ning Chen's words, the former commander nodded seriously.
"I understand, I am mentally prepared for this. In addition to class time, I will come to the laboratory to participate in experiments."
Although Yuan Shuai has just joined Xu Zhou's laboratory is new, but he still has richer experimental experience than other graduate students in the same class.
