Chapter 169 This must be reported!

In the Beijing Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics, Luo Jingren put down his cell phone heavily.

Ma Botao was unhappy, and he felt even more unhappy at this moment.

The current situation is that there are too many interdisciplinary research areas, whether in chemistry, physics or mathematics.

As for units under the same umbrella of HUST, the Huairou Institute maintains cooperation with such units as the Institute of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics of Beijing.

Especially in the fields of quantum chemistry, chemical reaction dynamics and molecular design, we have been working together happily.

Similarly, they provided the Huairou Institute with some mathematical modeling of chemical reactions and computational methods in materials science.

Now this Ma Botao, relying on the fact that he got the project right after he came here, actually hired a consultant from outside? !

How much do you look down on them?

Well, forget about looking down on them. According to Ma Botao, have they really solved the current problem?

After calming down, Luo Jingren sat down in front of the computer, logged into the backend database again, and retrieved all the information about the temperature-responsive smart gel project sent from the laboratory.

Then I started to study it carefully and started printing.

The data is clearly manipulated, which is enough to prove that they are not doing nothing.

After looking at these data, Luo Jingren was almost certain that it would be difficult to analyze anything useful from them.

The reason is simple. Mathematics is a discipline that studies regularities. When the amount of data is insufficient, it is difficult to find the required regularities from these messy data. This is common mathematical knowledge!
Luo Jingren now really wants to rush to Ma Botao and ask him if he knows what "sample size effect" is.

Not to mention that small datasets are susceptible to noise, which may mask potential regularities in the data.

In the case of big data, the impact of noise can usually be reduced through statistical methods, but this interference is more obvious when the amount of data is small.

In addition, data-driven modeling requires both data quality and quantity. Insufficient data means that the resulting model may be underfitting and cannot truly reflect the laws behind the data.

Really, Luo Jingren got angrier the more he watched...

This Ma guy is not kind! It's fine if he uses these broken data to urge them to do things! He even tried to force them to abdicate?

Not to mention that he used Tian Yanzhen's master and apprentice as a shield. Others were afraid of Tian Yanzhen, but would he be afraid? He hadn't figured out the trivial matters of his own master's sect yet.

Well, it was just that I reconciled with Lao Yuan recently, which caused a lot of uproar. But Lao Yuan is already a senior academician, and we are not from the same system.

What a shame for that guy named Ma!

In a rage, I added three stacks of paper to the printer and finally finished printing.

Looking at the several thick stacks of information, Luo Jingren picked up the phone and called the student.

"Xiao Zhou, call two people to help me move the documents! Yes, I'm in the office, move directly to Academician Liu's office. Hurry!"

……

Ten minutes later, Liu Zhaoyuan looked at the pile of materials on his desk and glared at Luo Jingren.

"What's the point of this? It's so confusing. Is there nothing else to do? Or is there too much funding to waste? Even if you want to show me the materials, can't you just upload the files?"

Luo Jingren said indignantly, "It's true that there is almost nothing to do! The newcomer Ma Botao from Huairou is really going too far. Don't ask why first, I just ask you to read these materials and then make your own judgment!

Is it that we are dragging our feet in analyzing the materials, or is there something wrong with their data itself, or is it that we simply cannot produce anything useful! Not only is the amount of data insufficient, but the direction is also unclear.

I talked to him nicely, but he ended up saying that he had hired a consultant from outside to help them produce the data! That would have been fine, but he also said that the consultant was Tian Yanzhen's student Qiao Yu.

This Ma Botao either packaged other data and gave it to the other side, or he was just talking nonsense! Let alone us, even MIT can't do this technology. "

Liu Zhaoyuan frowned and glanced at Luo Jingren opposite him. He didn't reply, but picked up the materials and began to flip through them.

Liu Zhaoyuan, 58 years old this year, is in the prime of his life for an academician. If nothing unexpected happens, he can still work in a similar position for another 20 years.

At least in China, it is not easy to reach this stage at the age of sixty. Even in the current context of increasingly stringent age requirements, it is still not easy.

After flipping through a few pages, Liu Zhaoyuan put the materials back. Even if he was given a week, he wouldn't be able to finish reading all the data. It was obvious that Luo Jingren came here to express his grievances.

"Okay, I know the situation. What's the point of being angry? What if the results that Qiao Yu analyzed for the laboratory are indeed useful?"

Liu Zhaoyuan said with a frown.

Luo Jingren answered loudly: "Even if the data volume is insufficient and the direction is unclear, useful results can still be analyzed. I promise to apologize to Ma Botao and Qiao Yu in person! But do you think it is possible?

But if Ma Botao gave them more data in order to get rid of us, and Yanbei and Huaqing wanted to force Qiao Yu to come to our rescue, I would definitely not do it!"

Liu Zhaoyuan glared at Luo Jingren again, thought for a moment and said, “Okay, Tian Yanzhen shouldn’t be like this, not to mention that Qiao Yu is still so young and won’t be so anxious.

Go do something else first, and put the work at Huairou Office aside for now. Wait until I call Tian Yanzhen. Also, don't be so impulsive next time you encounter something!"

Luo Jingren nodded and said, "Okay, Academician Liu, I'll listen to you! Please ask Academician Tian what the situation is! I'll go first!"

After saying that, Luo Jingren turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait, take all these documents with you! Are you leaving them here for me to sell as waste paper?! If you waste them like this next time, I will suggest to the finance department that your department will not be approved for office supplies in the future! Go buy them with your own money!"

He watched coldly as Luo Jingren called a few students back, moved all the materials away, and left. The office finally became quiet again. He sat there and thought for a while, then took out his cell phone and dialed a number...

"Hello, Brother Yan Zhen, I'm Liu Zhaoyuan... Haha, yes, long time no see... Haha, I'm still the same as before? Unlike you, you have accepted a good student..."

……

On the other side, Ma Botao also made a phone call after he walked out of the office. From his perspective, Luo Jingren was obviously overdoing it!

If there are too many things to do, you should let go; if you can't handle it, you should also let go; the current situation is simply a typical case of being both inexperienced and playful!
He was too lazy to argue with the research institute. It was meaningless to discuss research. It was even more impossible to tell Qiao Yu or Zhang Zuolin about such a trivial matter. After all, it would be too embarrassing!

So Ma Botao planned to talk directly to Party A. No matter how powerful the institute was, he had to give face to the sponsor, right?

Of course, if you ask Party A to put pressure on your company, you will definitely be criticized in the future. You may even be bullied.

But isn't that how people are? When your temper is already aroused, you don't care about these things!
Ma Botao has already made up his mind. At worst, he will not work here after this project is completed! The research institute is too depressing. If he has no choice, he will find a university to go to.

He really wanted to ask, which university in the country does not welcome professors who have titles, can get projects, and do not occupy positions? It really gives them face!
……

At Huaqing University, Qiao Yu is discussing with Qiao Xi whether to return to Xingcheng during this winter vacation.

Originally, Qiao Yu thought that this was something that did not need to be discussed, and it was natural for students to go home during the winter vacation.

Even if the king of heaven came, he would still say so. This year, he planned to go home and wish the good man, Principal Zhang, and Old Xia a happy new year.

By the way, let’s test whether Xia Keke has studied hard during her precious high school years…

There is an old saying that goes, "If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes." Although Qiao Yu dare not say that he is rich now, it is an indisputable fact that his family assets have increased many times.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has become a rising star in the academic world, a world-renowned one.

Although few people can recognize him when he walks on the street, his name alone has made him somewhat famous in both the education and academic circles.

The fact that he has over 150,000 followers on his Weibo account, which he barely uses, is proof of this.

However, after asking around, he was no longer sure whether he should go home for the winter break.

For example, those around me who have already confirmed that they will stay behind during the winter vacation include but are not limited to Zhang Xiao, a senior who I just met, Chen, who is still going through the resignation procedures at Jinzhou University, and Liu Hao, a senior in the laboratory...

The most fucked up one is Lao Xue.

When the two met, he just asked, "When do you plan to go home for the New Year?"

Old Xue lectured him righteously. "Go home for the New Year? What New Year? At our age, we should be working hard. We have such a big project and so many things to do. How can you still think of going home for the New Year?"

This also made Qiao Yu deeply understand why so many people on the Internet complain that the world is too complicated and makes people just want to lie down!
Every one of these people around me is a king of rolls...

The most terrifying thing is that these guys are concentrated in China's top universities.

For a moment, Qiao Yu began to doubt whether he had been too lazy recently and had lived too easily. After all, his ideal had not yet been realized.

No, his ideal was actually a little too grand. With his and Qiao Xi's current family assets, they couldn't even buy a house near Yanbei University.

So if you want to earn money that others can't earn, you have to work harder than others and do things that others can't do.

Although he had come to realize his mistake, Qiao Yu still wanted to go back to Xingcheng to celebrate the New Year during the winter vacation. After all, he had lived in that city for fifteen years. He also wanted to go back and see how the old house was doing.

"Why are you asking me this? It doesn't matter if I go back to Star City or not. I think you should talk to your instructor first."

"You can't say that. I'll tell you first, wouldn't it be better if you go and tell Director Tian later? Director Tian can deny me face, but he has to give his junior sister some face, right?"

"Heh...then you might as well just go and ask Master Yuan for help. I think your mentor will give Master Yuan more face."

"Hey... you don't understand. Everything else is easy to deal with, but when it comes to things like staying in school to study and do research, Master always stands on the side of the instructor."

"In that case, why don't you just stay in Beijing? Why do you have to go back to Star City? It doesn't matter where you celebrate the New Year. If you go back, you will only cause trouble for your Uncle Xia and Aunt Liu. Besides, they might need to send out the car again this year!"

"Then we have to go back. Don't you want to think about Coco? She's spending the New Year alone in Xingcheng... Shhh... Director Tian's call..."

Qiao Yu was speaking excitedly when the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out, looked at it, and then decided to give Director Tian a favor.

So he answered the phone and greeted enthusiastically: "Hello, Director Tian, ​​what's going on?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm here at Huaqing."

"Where is Mr. Yuan?"

"No, I'm at my mom's place. I'm discussing with her when to go home for the New Year."

"You still have time to go home? I really didn't know you were so successful. You even took on a consulting job outside. You're already a consultant for Huairou Law Firm, and you're still thinking about running away?"

"Ah? Didn't you know about this a long time ago?" Qiao Yu asked in surprise.

"You didn't even tell me, why do you think I already knew it?"

Qiao Yu quickly explained, "No, you forgot. Professor Lu brought Senior Zhang to see you last time. Then you called me over too! We even talked for a long time in the office."

"You don't need to remind me of that time. I remember it clearly. But Professor Lu heard about the news from Zhang Zuolin's laboratory. What does it have to do with the Huairou Institute? Did you tell me about this that day?"

Qiao Yu thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have never told Director Tian about this. He just thought Director Tian knew about it.

What should I say...

Aren’t Professor Zhang Zuolin, Liu Hao, and everyone else in the lab too tight-lipped?

The contract was signed in their laboratory, and Professor Lu Huazhou even went to the laboratory, but none of them said anything? This made it difficult for him to evaluate...

"Um... Director Tian, ​​I remember now. When Professor Lu came to see us that day, he brought a senior student with him. The situation was so shocking that I actually forgot to tell you!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Come back at noon and I'll take you out this afternoon. As for this winter vacation, you'd better not go home. Other labs don't have holidays, and you've taken on other people's work. How can you go home for the New Year? You'd better spend the New Year in Beijing!"

After saying that, Tian Yanzhen hung up the phone.

Qiao Yu frowned and put the phone back into his pocket. When he raised his head, he met Qiao Xi's inquiring gaze.

"Senior sister?" Qiao Xi asked thoughtfully.

Qiao Yu immediately said, "What's that expression on your face? She's just a senior schoolmate. She wants to become my disciple and help me with work."

Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Did I say anything? Why are you so excited?"

Qiao Yu said dissatisfiedly: "Although you didn't say anything, your expression and tone have said a lot!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my expression and tone were too much! You should go back quickly. Anyway, it seems that it has been confirmed that we can't go back to celebrate the New Year this year."

Qiao Yu glanced at Qiao Xi, and thought, forget it, he was too lazy to say anything more, and obediently ran to the door to change his shoes.

There is nothing you can do about it, life is like this, plans cannot keep up with changes. But as long as you accept that life is not as you wish, there is nothing to worry about.

……

Ma Botao obviously didn't think so. At this time, he was inviting a vice president of the Beijing branch of the Northern Xinjiang Aerospace Engineering Group to dinner.

To be honest, Ma Botao has a wide circle of friends, both in academia and in the business community.

But then again, these days when scientific researchers get projects, they are required to look at both their abilities and their connections.

There is no way. There are too many capable people in this era. When everyone is capable, the importance of personal connections becomes prominent. The situation of too many monks and too little meat has not changed, and this situation is unlikely to change.

"Old Ma, are you kidding me? A sixteen-year-old kid solved a problem that the professors at the mathematics institute you often work with couldn't solve?"

Ma Botao said seriously: "Mr. Luo, this is not the first time we have met. Am I the kind of person who likes to joke? If you don't believe me, you can call Zhang Zuolin and ask. And that child is not an ordinary child.

He has given a 60-minute lecture on the international stage. He is recognized by the Chinese mathematics community as the youngest generation with the greatest hope of winning the Fields Medal. He is also a student of Academician Tian Yanzhen.

Let me tell you this, Qiao Yu has more reputation in the international mathematics community than 80% of Chinese mathematics academicians. I won't introduce other things to you, but he created a branch of mathematics.

Moreover, his achievements have been praised by many foreign Fields Medal winners. Do you think such a genius still needs me to praise him? I'm going to say something unpleasant, and Zhang can't wait to put his old face over to praise him."

After listening to Ma Botao's words, Mr. Luo thought carefully for a moment and said, "So you are sure that Qiao Yu has come up with a very effective method for analyzing data? Can he directly help you and Lao Zhang's laboratory solve all the problems they encounter?"

Ma Botao nodded affirmatively, but immediately added: "I am absolutely sure of this. You may not understand the complexity of laboratory data, but Lao Zhang and I have encountered similar problems.

We asked some professors of statistics and computational mathematics to help us with calculations and models, but they couldn't do it. He was able to produce results using the same data. It's hard to deny this."

Mr. Luo slapped his thigh and said, "Then go ahead and introduce it. I don't understand much about your laboratory, but I know that there are many places that need this kind of complex calculations now."

After that, Mr. Luo thought for a moment and said, "It's not a secret anyway, so I told you. You know that the aerospace department is planning to carry out a manned moon landing, right? But the commander-in-chief's plan this time is more than that.

If conditions permit, after completing the manned lunar landing, we also plan to build a simple scientific exploration base on the moon. We will use prefabricated parts to send it there and build it directly.

Including some of the projects we have taken on this time, such as your temperature control gel, if it can be made, it may be used for the outer coating of the lunar scientific exploration base.

In short, there are many supporting projects in this area, and the higher-ups are eager to promote this matter. If his calculation method is really effective, you might as well find your supervisor and report it immediately.

If the calculation method invented by that child is really useful, then what you are doing now is not a big deal? We don’t need to say anything at all. I guarantee that no one will have anything to say when the time comes. "

Ma Botao took a deep breath and asked in surprise, "Are you planning to build an exploration base on the moon? Are you sure?"

Mr. Luo smiled and said, "It's 100% certain. Our engineers have already started designing the structure of those prefabricated parts. The fact that it hasn't spread widely is simply because there are still some problems that have not been solved.

You know, the bosses were afraid that if the expectations were too high, it would be embarrassing if it couldn’t be completed. So we never promoted it, but we were assigned the task, so we couldn’t hide it.”

Ma Botao nodded, somewhat hesitantly.

"I need to think about this. I guess I should discuss it with Qiao Yu or Academician Tian first, right?"

"What's there to discuss about such a good thing? Believe me, as long as his method works, this is a great thing! Or let me report it to your superiors for you! Wait for my good news."
