I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 714 Why did you provoke him?

Sure enough, on stage, Li Yi pondered for only a moment before speaking: "In strong turbulence, there exists an inertial region, and the energy transfer of vortex structures has isotropic universality. This is Kolmogorov's foundational theory in 1941."

"The isotropic assumption in our model applies only to the inertial region and is consistent with the physical nature of turbulent energy level trains."

"Furthermore, if you read your paper again carefully, you might find that you specifically noted that the asymmetry data of HL-2M originated from boundary layer measurements, while this simulation focuses on the plasma core confinement region."

Li Yi's meaning is very clear: your own paper's data comes from boundary layer measurements, which has a completely different focus from our simulation data. Your earlier mention of 7% asymmetry is irrelevant to us. Don't try to pin this on us.

Zhang Zhizhong remained expressionless, thinking to himself that this kid was indeed trained by Xu Qingzhou, just as arrogant. "What do you mean, 'I should read my own paper carefully'? Are you mocking me? Don't I know what I wrote?"

But you can't just say you know the answer and are just deliberately making things difficult for them.

Although he was cursing inwardly, Zhang Zhizhong didn't show it on his face and said, "Presenting at a conference can increase the probability of your findings being cited by 52%, but only if they can withstand on-site questioning. Thank you for your explanation."

The subtext is: It's not that I'm asking too many questions, it's for your own good.

Li Yi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He could only answer Zhang Zhigao's question himself.

This is similar to a sect leader or elder in a fantasy novel leading their disciples to visit other sects.

If even such a small problem requires Xu Qingzhou and his group to step in, it inevitably makes people think that the Materials Research Institute is all show and no substance, and that their disciples are all useless.

Across from him, seeing Li Yi looking at him, Xu Qingzhou smiled and nodded slightly. Overall, Li Yi's answer was perfect.

"However, I actually have another question about a detail in the report. This part seems to have been done by Professor Xu."

Zhang Zhigao changed the subject and looked at Xu Qingzhou.

To Xu Qingzhou's left, Li Gang was somewhat helpless, cursing inwardly, "Will this old guy Zhang Zhigao ever stop? Does he really have no regard for the dignity of his seniors?"
"Please say."

Xu Qingzhou remained calm. This old bastard, he came looking for trouble before he even had a chance to cause any.

Zhang Zhigao said, "The report mentions 'neutral beam injection angle error ≤ 0.1°', which is on page 7 of the PPT. However, KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) proved in a paper published in Nuclear Fusion a week ago that an error exceeding 0.15° will trigger tearing mode. I just did a simple calculation, and if it is corrected, the prediction accuracy of your model will plummet from 98% to 70%."

This raises questions about the credibility and academic integrity of Xu Qingzhou's model.

Zhang Zhigao's gaze fell on the old man to the side.

This man is named Weyton Lehmann, from the Joint European Ring (JET) facility, and he is a student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Wetton Lyman stared at the PowerPoint presentation on the stage, nodded slightly, and also noticed the question raised by Zhang Zhigao.

Li Gang remained silent; they had indeed overlooked this detail.

That paper on nuclear fusion had only been published for a week; who knew that an error exceeding 0.15° would trigger a tearing mode?

However, science is based on facts. Although Xu Qingzhou felt wronged, a mistake is a mistake.

Li Gang sighed inwardly: "Actually, mathematical calculation errors are indeed extremely common in experiments, especially in multi-step, highly complex, or fast-response scenarios. At most, it'll just give Zhang Zhigao a bit of bragging rights, but it's nothing serious."

On the other side, Ren Nan and the others didn't react much.

Zhang Zhigao was already laughing inwardly. Of course, he wasn't making baseless accusations. KIT's 2019 paper on nuclear fusion had caused quite a stir in the field of fusion.

"I'd be happy to explain to everyone."

Xu Qingzhou got up and walked to the whiteboard, writing as he spoke: "Presenting the KIT paper hypothesis: the tear modulus growth rate formula: \gamma =\frac{\beta_heta}{R}\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\rho}}\cdot \Delta"

Zhang Zhigao squinted at the whiteboard, a cold smile creeping across his face. "Let's see what other tricks you can pull."

but
Seeing Xu Qingzhou's calm demeanor, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He shook his head again, telling himself he was just scaring himself; the facts were clear, he couldn't lose.

On stage, Xu Qingzhou said: "First, we need to prove the physical rationality of the 0.1° threshold, which involves the beam path correction model."

"Secondly."

10 minutes passed.

Xu Qingzhou paused slightly before getting to the point: "Academician Zhang may not be very familiar with mathematics. There was a small error in the KIT paper, which resulted in 0.15° being a geometric angle, not an equivalent physical angle. I have already communicated this with Sean Parker, the first author of KIT, and he said he would retract the paper and make a correction in it."

"."

"Ok?"

The seminar room fell silent instantly, and everyone's expressions froze, as if they doubted that they had heard correctly.

Klinger asked definitively, "Professor Xu, do you mean that Professor Parker's paper is flawed?"

“Yes, I believe they will issue a correction notice soon.” Xu Qingzhou nodded with a smile.

"."

When Xu Qingzhou nodded in affirmation, everyone's expressions were priceless.

Zhang Zhigao, in particular, completely lost his composure at this moment, his expression froze, and he stared at the equation in disbelief.

What the hell?
Can you still play like this?
This time it's all solid evidence, yet you still managed to bring it up again. You even disproved the authoritative paper I used as evidence?

Isn't this a bit fake?!
On one side, Ren Nan, Li Yi, and the others smiled, clearly aware of the matter.

Li Gang was initially taken aback, then his expression turned strange, and he shared the same thought as Zhang Zhigao: "Isn't this kid a bit too extraordinary?"

You've already found problems with someone's newly published paper.

Xu Qingzhou ignored Zhang Zhigao's frozen expression and continued with a smile, "Therefore, our calculations will be slightly different from his."

"Next, we need to construct a real-time feedback control equation."

Time passed by, and after 20 minutes, the two large whiteboards were filled with writing.

Xu Qingzhou put down his pen, turned around and looked at the group of scholars sitting around the round table. "Alright, everyone, that concludes the proof. Feel free to ask questions, and I will do my best to answer them."

Below the stage, many people looked at the calculations on the blackboard and showed expressions of sudden realization. Their gazes fell on the young man, and their expressions were quite complicated.

"Clap clap~"

No one knows who clapped first, but enthusiastic applause gradually filled the seminar room.

Klinger sighed deeply, thinking to himself that this kid was indeed a freak. Choosing to cooperate back then was the right decision. Who knows what this Xia countryman will do in the future?

With an admiring smile on his face, Li Gang glanced at Zhang Zhigao, whose expression was gloomy, and thought to himself, "I really feel sorry for this old guy."

From another perspective, this old guy deserved it. Why did you have to provoke him?

No questions were asked in the seminar room.

Xu Qingzhou's gaze swept over everyone before finally landing on Zhang Zhigao. He asked with a smile, "Academician Zhang, do you have any further questions? I can answer them for you."
