A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 228 A new journey
When the group arrived outside Chen Hui's office, Chen Hui was still engrossed in his work, and Dennis was also there. The two of them were writing, exchanging a few words occasionally before returning to their work.

Wang Qiming subconsciously checked the time; it was only 9:30.

These two didn't go to bed much earlier than him yesterday either, and judging from their appearance, they've probably been working here for quite some time.

Wang Qiming felt somewhat ashamed. No wonder he could only switch to administration; he simply couldn't compete with these lunatics.

Of course, he didn't consider whether he could achieve those results even if he worked that hard.

"Chen Hui, come to my office. I need to discuss something with you."

Since the door wasn't closed, Wang Qiming didn't have many reservations and walked into Chen Hui's office, speaking as he did so.

They had originally planned to discuss the matter in Chen Hui's office, but since there were outsiders present, they had to change locations at the last minute.

As Chen Hui walked out of the office, he saw several people following Wang Qiming, but he did not recognize them.

"This is the leader of the Battle Hall."

Wang Qiming explained, "These are researchers from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation."

"Professor Chen, I've long admired your name."

The leader of the Zhantang Hall shook hands with Chen Hui with a smile. That smile was like a spring breeze. Chen Hui did not feel the toughness of a warrior from him. Instead, he seemed like a kind elder.

Wang Qiming watched in stunned silence; this smile was completely different from the one she had given him in the conference room.

Good heavens, you're quite the imposing leader of the Battle Hall with your thick eyebrows and big eyes!

"Greetings, Master." Chen Hui extended his hand.

"Professor Chen."

"Professor Chen."

The researchers from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group and Shenyang Aircraft Corporation also greeted them warmly, a stark contrast to their indifferent attitude in the conference room just moments before.

After the group had gotten to know each other, they arrived at Wang Qiming's office.

Close the door,

The head of the Zhantang Hall once again got straight to the point, "Professor Chen, we have come here today to invite you to join our research institute to help us solve some difficult problems and catch up with the world's cutting edge. Our institute urgently needs a mathematically proficient talent like you."

"Didn't they just develop a sixth-generation fighter jet recently?"

"We're already among the world's leading nations, why should we need to catch up?"

Chen Hui was a little confused. He didn't really know much about this field, but he did read the news, and he certainly knew about the ginkgo leaves that had been circulating recently.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Zhantang Hall, Chengfei, and Shenfei's researchers exchanged wry smiles.

"Let me tell you."

The last researcher from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group stepped forward and said, "Our breakthrough in the development of the sixth-generation fighter jet is the result of multiple factors, including technological innovation, system integration advantages, and strategic resource integration. There is still a gap between our aero-engine field and the international advanced level."

"For example, our power system adopts a three-engine layout, with two variable cycle engines and one lift fan. The distributed power system compensates for the insufficient thrust of a single engine, and the intelligent distribution algorithm dynamically adjusts the load of each engine, reducing the dependence on the performance of a single engine... There are also designs such as tailless diamond wing design, which improves the lift-to-drag ratio..."

"Currently, the domestically produced AEF1300 variable cycle engine has a thrust of 18 tons, which is still behind the next-generation engine of the Migo engine, such as the NGAP, which can reach a thrust of 35 tons. We must accelerate the pre-research of the fourth-generation engine!"

The Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) researcher looked worried, which amused Chen Hui. He saw a strong fear of insufficient firepower on the researcher's face. It turned out that the gap he was referring to was the gap with the next generation of engines from the international market.

This might be the biggest difference between China and the West: China constantly turns blueprints into reality, while the West constantly modifies its conceptual drawings. And now, these researchers have taken it seriously.

What can I do?

Chen Hui did not refuse. Science knows no borders, but scientists do. Only a strong motherland can provide him with a stable research environment.

“超燃冲压发动机燃烧室入口温度可达2500-3000K，远超镍基合金熔点1700K，且高速气流带来的气动力加热使壁面热流密度高达106W/m2。”

The Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) researcher once again answered, "The coolant cannot effectively cool down at high temperatures, the traditional gas film cooling technology of turbine engines fails, and the combustion chamber wall is prone to thermochemical ablation and thermal stress cracking. Therefore, we need a better high-temperature resistant material that is not only resistant to high temperatures but also resistant to ablation."

"Didn't Academician E Weinan develop a new type of copper-based material?"

This is unfortunate.

Although Chen Hui did not know the specific parameters of this high-temperature resistant material, the temperature of the gallium oxide reaction crucible was as high as 3000K, and the reaction required a long time, so its ablation resistance must be good.

A Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAC) researcher gave a wry smile, "It's too heavy!"

They certainly contacted Academician E Weinan, but a crucible and an aero engine flying in the sky are not the same thing.

Chen Hui nodded, "You can collaborate with Academician E Weinan on the materials issue. As long as there is sufficient data and computing power, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Well, what I'm implying is that I don't need to get involved in such a small matter.

"Mr. E has joined our team, but now is a critical moment where every second counts. We not only need to develop it, but we need to do it quickly!"

The leader of the Battle Hall looked at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui was taken aback. He hadn't paid much attention to the international situation. Could it be that the situation had become so tense recently?
"In addition to materials, to develop a fourth-generation engine, we also need to solve the complex problems of high enthalpy flow and combustion organization. Scramjet engines need to achieve supersonic combustion without shock wave interference in Ma5-10 incoming flow, but shock wave boundary layer interference of high enthalpy flow can cause local flow separation and destroy combustion stability."

At the same time, because the mixing time is only on the order of microseconds, the mixing efficiency of fuel and high-temperature air is extremely low, making it difficult to maintain efficient combustion.

A researcher from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group added, "We need more accurate prediction models."

Fluid mechanics?

"Okay, I have no objection."

Chen Hui agreed without hesitation. He and Professor Dennis had just come up with a new framework, which they could use to test the waters.

Welcome to the company!

With a bright smile, the leader of the Battle Hall reached out to Chen Hui again, while glancing at Wang Qiming with a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Wang Qiming sighed softly. He had nothing to say about Chen Hui's choice. Whatever choice Chen Hui made, he would support him.

"Dean Wang, why don't we process Professor Chen's resignation today?"

"The leader of the Battle Hall said impatiently."

"Resignation?"

"Why did you resign?" Chen Hui asked.

The head of the Zhantang Hall explained, "The development of aero engines is classified. You will need to work in the research institute, and you may not be able to serve as a teacher at Jiangcheng University."

"Oh."

Chen Hui smiled easily and said, "It's okay. I don't need to hold a position at the research institute. I can participate in the research as a teacher at Jiangcheng University. After completing the research, I will return here to continue my research in mathematics." Having spent so much time at Jiangcheng University, he still has a strong attachment to the place and loves the environment.

Wang Qiming was overjoyed. He suddenly recalled how Yuan Xinyi had made him travel thousands of miles to Beijing after just one phone call. At that moment, he felt very fortunate and thought it was all worth it.

The head of the battle hall and the researcher from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile wryly.

It took them 13 years to complete the development of the sixth-generation fighter jet, and that was after many of the prerequisite technologies had already been completed. The development of the fourth-generation engine is only at the concept stage. Conservatively speaking, it will take at least 15 years to complete a real-world demonstration.

By the time I come out, everything will have changed, and it won't make much difference whether I retain my teaching position at Jiangcheng University or not.

However, the leader of the Zhantang Hall still decided to agree to Chen Hui's request, "Okay, you can join our research team as a scientific advisor."

"Let's not delay, let's set off today!"

Seemingly worried that Chen Hui might change his mind, the leader of the Battle Hall almost wanted to send a fighter jet to pick Chen Hui up.

Chen Hui readily agreed.

It's the end of June now, and the IMO will be held in mid-September. There are still two and a half months left, and these issues should have been resolved by then.

So he didn't even bring many changes of clothes, hoping to solve the problem before summer was over!
If the head of the Zhantang Hall and the researchers from Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group knew his thoughts, they would probably be both amused and exasperated.

……

"I'm going to Princeton!"

While packing his clothes, Li Zehan came to Chen Hui's dormitory to say goodbye. He would be going to Princeton for graduate studies next semester.

He was already quite talented, and with his involvement in the research and industrialization of gallium oxide, once it was written on his resume, there was almost no suspense left. Even Princeton would have plenty of people vying for someone like him.

"Congratulations!"

Chen Hui patted his friend on the shoulder, genuinely happy for him.

"I'll be waiting for you at Princeton."

Li Zehan raised his proud, chubby face and said with a smile, "I have a feeling that we will meet again in Princeton."

"maybe."

Chen Hui neither confirmed nor denied it.

But at least for now, he has no plans to go to Princeton, and perhaps he never will.

After packing his clothes, Chen Hui said a few more words to Chloe, explaining that he would be going on a business trip for a while, and then boarded a plane to Chengdu with Zhan Tang.

As for Professor Dennis, their exchange has been a great success. They will now return to their respective research, which can be done via email. They can discuss the challenges in person when they encounter them again.

As for writing the paper, the thematic framework has been completed, and the rest will only take them a day or two to finish.

Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (Chengfei) is located in Chengdu, but of course, it's quite a distance from the city center where my uncle and aunt live.

However, since he had already returned to Chengdu, Chen Hui also went home to visit Teacher An and Principal Zhao. After staying at home for two days, he finally went to the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute.

As I went downstairs, a robust middle-aged man in a tracksuit strode over. "Boss, where do you want to go?"

The leader's question left Chen Hui speechless: "Why are you here?"

This is Dai Yafeng, the driver, secretary, and bodyguard specially arranged for him by the leader of the Zhantang Hall.

Judging from his tough demeanor, this person must be from the Battle Hall.

However, he thought this person was just in charge of his affairs near the research institute, but he didn't expect the other person to follow him to his home.

"Wherever the leader is, I will be there; this is the leader's order."

Dai Yafeng answered meticulously.

"Okay, let's go back to the research institute."

Chen Hui didn't care about these details.

After getting on the ring road and then onto the expressway, what should have been an hour and a half drive turned into a two-hour traffic jam on the expressway.

When Chen Hui arrived at the source of the congestion, he discovered that a certain service area was full of cars, causing the congestion.

"What are they doing?"

Chen Hui was puzzled. Why were people sunbathing in the service area on such a hot day?
"Waiting to charge."

Dai Yafeng replied that with his keen observation skills, he had already figured out the whole story.

Chen Hui suddenly realized that with the popularization of electric vehicles, there are now more and more electric vehicles, but the charging piles in the service area are limited and the charging speed is slow. Many cars are queuing up in the service area, and gradually more and more cars are giving way to the service area, even queuing up far away from the service area.

In a few months, this situation should no longer occur!
Chen Hui estimated the time it would take for gallium oxide to go from industrialization to being implemented in products, and for no reason, he felt a surge of joy.

Leaving the congested service area behind, the black sedan sped along the highway and soon entered a remote base.

……

At the Mita-Leffler Institute, part of the Royal Swedish Academy, Stockholm, Sweden
Tobias Lindholm rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, stood up, and paced back and forth in his office. As the editor-in-chief of the Acta Mathematica Sinica, he was over sixty years old but had not given up his research in mathematics. He was currently studying the quantum topological invariants of the boundaries of holomorphic curves on Lagrange multi-manifolds.

After resting for a while, he returned to his desk, turned on his computer, went to his email, and began processing the submissions that the editorial committee had compiled over the past week.

As one of the four top journals in the field of mathematics, Acta Mathematica Sinica is a quarterly journal, usually publishing only three to four papers per issue, and only about ten papers per year. Therefore, Tobias usually reviews manuscripts once a week.

Of course, due to the difficulty of getting papers accepted by the Journal of Mathematics, after the editorial committee's review, not many papers will end up in his email inbox. This week, there was only one paper – "Elastic Deformation of Vortex Fiber Bundles".

This paper proposes an innovative geometric framework to model the vortex dynamics of three-dimensional incompressible fluids as a fiber bundle structure with specific torsion connections. By constructing a vortex bundle with the fluid domain as the base space and the vortex line directions as fibers, and introducing a horizontal lifting mapping based on Helmholtz theorem to embed the velocity field into the bundle space, we prove that the vorticity deformation term (ω)u in the Navier-Stokes equations can precisely correspond to the torsion tensor of the bundle connections…

"Has someone launched an attack on the Navier-Stokes equations?"

After reading the abstract, Tobias was immediately intrigued. His areas of expertise were symplectic geometry and Legendre contact homology, but he also had considerable knowledge of topology, not to mention complex geometry. He was eager to see how far his colleague had progressed in his research on the Navier-Stokes equations.

However, before that, he glanced at the authors of the paper.

Dennis Sullivan is an old friend.

However, he noticed that the paper had two authors, and that they made equal contributions.

"Chen Hui?"

Upon seeing this familiar name, Tobias frowned slightly. He remembered that Chen Hui had just completed the proof of the Yang-Mills equation not long ago. How long had it been, and now he was already tackling the Navier-Stokes equation?
A sense of absurdity arose in Tobias's mind; he couldn't believe that anyone could achieve so many major breakthroughs so quickly in completely different fields.

His expression turned serious as he looked at the paper; he wanted to see just how good it really was.
