From top student in college to scientific research powerhouse

The broadcast of Chapter 93, "Continued Liquidity?", is fake, it must be fake!

The 'ZXZ Electromagnetic Transfer Phenomenon Symposium' was quite successful.

At the start of the meeting, a video circulating online caused a slight disturbance, but it only affected Yan Lihua personally.

Others continued to participate in the meeting and discuss issues related to the electromagnetic field of ZXZ.

Yan Lihua also rallied and continued to chair the meeting.

The research progress at this conference was not significant, but the research direction was determined. The participants unanimously agreed on the direction of electric field transfer and clarified the key issues for the next step of research.

For example, determining the anomalous non-dielectric constant of nickel/aluminum oxide, measuring electromagnetic transfer, and searching for other materials that can induce the ZxZ phenomenon.

Further analysis of airflow caused by electromagnetic vibration is also a key issue.

Xu Qiujian's team's analysis did not provide a detailed explanation of airflow tremors.

The conference also yielded other benefits, with some suggesting that such a conference should be held annually to jointly explore research issues related to the zxz phenomenon.

Yan Lihua was very interested in the proposal, and he even thought about forming a research association for the zxz phenomenon.

Once the association is established, he may be elected as its chairman based on his personal prestige and contributions to organizing seminars.

The meeting was filled with good news, but there was also some bad news.

For example, the video is still circulating online.

Many netizens have already uncovered the reason why Zhang Minghao said these things: his team's application for a follow-up study on the zxz phenomenon was rejected because it failed the expert review.

The question remains: who are the experts?
This video is related to the application project. Most people just watch it, think Zhang Minghao spoke very fluently, and then leave a comment to speak up for him.

Ordinary people neither understand nor care about the affairs of academia.

However, the video still had a significant impact.

Director Liu Ming of the Ministry of Science and Technology noticed this. He went to Jiangzhou University with Professor Xu and even exchanged a few words with Zhang Minghao.

After seeing the video, he immediately contacted the relevant person in charge and asked about it.

The person in charge is named Zhu Wei.

Zhu Wei explained, "ZXZ is a new field, and the project review invited experts in condensed matter physics and metamaterials."

"Other experts were not familiar with the research and did not offer any opinions. Professor Yan Lihua of the Materials Research Institute said that the research on zxz abroad has made new breakthroughs, discovered new phenomena, and developed new theories."

“The discovery abroad is recognized domestically. The project application submitted by the Applied Electromagnetism Laboratory was submitted before the discovery abroad, so it was rejected.”

Liu Ming frowned and continued, "I saw in the video online that Zhang Minghao said their research direction is fine. Does that mean the project won't be approved if they don't change their direction?"

"This one……"

Zhu Wei didn't know how to answer either. He just mumbled, "These are all opinions submitted by expert reviewers."

Liu Ming laughed angrily, "Did you watch that video? What did Zhang Minghao say? Which expert? Where can Zxz find an expert?"

He shook his head and said seriously, "I don't care about the situation. In short, they applied for funding from Dongchuan Province, and the project belongs to Dongchuan Province."

"Zhang Minghao's side has achieved results, proving that their direction is correct. You will bear the consequences!"

……

A week passed.

Zhu Bingkun, Xue Kun, and Chen Shuai have all been writing research reports and papers.

They have already submitted their research report to their superiors; the remaining task is to complete the research-related papers.

This research has made significant progress, and the paper will not be just one article.

The main paper of the experimental research is titled "Gradual Nickel Content in Metal Ceramics and the Zhang Phenomenon," which elaborates on the correlation between the gradual nickel content and fluidity and electromagnetic properties found in the study.

There are also two accompanying papers: "Zhang's Phenomenon: Liquidity Measurement" and "Zhang's Phenomenon: Special Electric Field Transfer Characteristics".

The above three articles are intended for submission to the Chinese Physics Letters.

The last paper is an introductory paper, "Zhang's Phenomenon: Mysterious Field Forces," which is intended for submission to the top journal Physical Review Letters.

The review process for Physical Review Letters is too slow; papers may not pass the review, so they are only submitted as 'introduction papers' to see how it goes.

Zhang Minghao was also responsible for writing part of the paper.

However, he has relatively few work-related problems and a lot of free time. He spends his free time reading professional books or domestic and foreign research papers, mainly focusing on the field of condensed matter physics.

The laboratory's next research phase will focus on exploring the theoretical mechanisms of the Zhang phenomenon.

This requires extensive knowledge in the fields of electromagnetism and condensed matter physics.

Zhang Minghao studied electromagnetism, while condensed matter physics is a major theoretical field and a significant branch of physics.

Condensed matter physics studies the physical properties, microstructure, and interrelationships of condensed matter. Its research objects include solid, liquid, and special gaseous substances, and its research levels cover macroscopic to microscopic, involving three-dimensional to low-dimensional structures.

The theoretical framework of this discipline is based on quantum mechanics and phase transition theory, with symmetry breaking as the core analytical tool.

Semiconductors, magnetism, superconductivity and other fields are all included in the scope of condensed matter physics.

Sufficient knowledge in condensed matter physics is required to conduct in-depth microscopic analysis of the Zhang phenomenon, thereby constructing the underlying physical mechanism underlying the phenomenon's occurrence.

In the field of condensed matter physics research on theoretical mechanisms, Zhu Bingkun is the only one in the laboratory who can be considered a semi-professional.

Zhang Minghao learned everything on his own, and it wasn't easy for him to ask someone for help when there were things he didn't understand.

The good news is that a new researcher has joined the lab. His name is Du Wei. He graduated with a PhD from Tsinghua University and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Capital Institute of Condensed Matter Physics for three years, where he conducted research on the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity.

In the field of condensed matter physics, Du Weigang was the most professional from the start.

He was a specially recruited talent of Jiangzhou University, with the title of associate professor. Upon joining the university, he was pulled into the applied electromagnetics laboratory by Zhu Bingkun.

The laboratory is in dire need of such talent.

Du Wei is only 34 years old, which is quite young, and he is also very knowledgeable. He signed a contract with the Applied Electromagnetism Laboratory and officially became an associate researcher in the laboratory.

On Du Wei's first day in the lab, the lab organized an activity.

Everyone watched the program together in the conference room.

Dongchuan Provincial Television Science and Education Channel – “Scientific Exploration: The Zhang Phenomenon”.

The show had just begun when the first shot focused on Zhang Minghao, who was walking into the laboratory from the aisle with a folder in his hand.

In the laboratory, Zhang Minghao introduced the amazing Zhang phenomenon.

The scene then shifts to the experimental phase.

As introduced by host Wu Lili, the laboratory conducted an experiment to create the Zhang phenomenon, with the camera focused on the top of the experimental equipment.

There, a whirlwind appeared.

……

The viewership of Dongchuan Provincial Television's Science and Education Channel was much higher than usual, and the viewership data for the online broadcast was even higher.

This is because the TV station had promoted it in advance.

The show's promotion used "Zhang Minghao" and "the Zhang phenomenon" as gimmicks, and even the information released included photos of Zhang Minghao.

Zhang Minghao can be considered a semi-celebrity scholar; he comes with his own labels and a certain amount of attention.

Many people who are curious about the Zhang phenomenon will also take the time to watch the program.

Most people subconsciously felt that the program was uninteresting because it was a science program, an interview and report on a completely new physical phenomenon.

In the public's perception, the Zhang phenomenon is one that can only be judged by "the degree of the equipment".

It's like a particle collision—it's over in a flash, and we can only find out what actually happened through subsequent data analysis. What's the point of a show like that?
The production team is clearly good at understanding the audience's psychology. The program had just started, and less than three minutes had passed, when Zhang Minghao was introduced.

Then, we went straight into the experiment.

Those watching the show noticed the whirlwind under the camera and immediately became more alert.

The camera zoomed in on the whirlwind, which was originally less than a meter tall, but appeared to be several meters tall on the screen, and the playback time was more than a minute.

The Zhang phenomenon can actually create a whirlwind!
Such a huge whirlwind!

Everyone who watched the program became more alert and deeply moved.

That was a huge whirlwind!
Manufacturing with electromagnetism? Manufacturing with materials? It's simply unimaginable!

"If the whirlwind were a little bigger and stronger, would it become a tornado?"

"This is in a laboratory. If it were placed outside and interacted with normal winds, it might gradually grow larger..."

"This is a tornado generator!"

Many people had the same question, and the program footage was quickly posted online. Before the program was even halfway through, it had already become a hot topic online.

Keywords——

#Tornado generator#.

When I clicked on the related news, I saw a clip from a program, which lasted about two minutes. It started with a few sentences introducing the Zhang phenomenon, and then turned into an experiment to create a whirlwind.

The topic quickly went viral, with numerous netizens posting astonished comments such as, "Tornado maker! This is truly cutting-edge technology!"

"The Zhang phenomenon? I just realized this new phenomenon is so amazing..."

"So tornadoes are man-made. No wonder America always has tornadoes, while we can't see them in our country."

"This technology is absolutely terrifying."

"Isn't the Zhang phenomenon supposed to be fundamental physics research? How can it be like this!"

"My country is amazing! Super advanced and unparalleled sci-fi technology!"

Most netizens are just laymen and are just watching the show.

Some comments mentioned a tornado generator, but that was just a joke and I don't really believe it's true.

Even if the technology is real, it's impossible to put it into application in a short time.

Only experts can truly see the intricacies.

Gao Haijun was leisurely lying on the sofa scrolling through the news when he came across the 'Tornado Maker'. He was so shocked that he sat up straight after reading just a little bit.

"How can it be!"

"It created continuous liquidity? And it's a circular flow?"

He immediately sent the video to Yan Lihua.

Actually, Gao Haijun didn't need to post it; someone in the zxz research group had already posted the video.

A heated discussion is taking place in the group chat: "Is this continuous liquidity?"

"Impossible, right? Isn't electromagnetic vibration only momentary?"

"If the experiment is real, they must have created continuous fluidity, which means that Xu Qiujian's team's analysis of electromagnetic tremors is wrong."

"In other words, the fluidity isn't caused by electromagnetic vibrations; the fluidity itself already exists?"

"It exists, and it's sustainable!"

"Were we heading in the wrong direction? Maybe not. Maybe they filmed it on purpose. The lens is so small that they can't see anything else. Maybe it was created by the wind turbine blades."

"AI-generated content is also a possibility."

"I don't think the show is fake, right? A science program, filming experiments and using special effects?"

The people in the group who participated in the seminar were all a little nervous.

If the video is genuine, it means that Zhu Bingkun's team created a sustained flow of liquidity, and at a considerable intensity.

Xu Qiujian's team's analysis was wrong, and the direction they chose was also wrong.

What's the point of researching this?
……

Condensed matter physics laboratory, second-floor office.

Yang Xuewen also saw the video. He frowned, stared intently at the screen on his phone, and kept uttering the three words, "Impossible!"

"impossible!"

"That's absolutely not true!"

Xu Qiujian's team has made a new discovery, and the electromagnetic transfer signal is so clear, with mathematical analysis to assist in the analysis, that it has been proven that the fluidity is caused by electromagnetic vibration.

He said in an interview that Zhang Minghao's experiment at Donggang University was wrong and most likely just a coincidence because he believed in the results of Xu Qiujian's team.

Now it has been proven that this was the right thing to do, and everything has returned to square one.

His situation will be worse than before.

Others who say the same thing simply have different academic viewpoints.

What's so strange about making mistakes in scientific research?
He is different!
When others talk about this, they will definitely think that he deliberately tried to smear Zhang Minghao.

Yang Xuewen broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and shook his head vigorously. "It must be fake! It's fake!"

"It's just for the sake of the show; the footage was deliberately created for the program!"

On the other side, Yan Lihua was equally panicked.

He stared at the screen on his phone, muttering the same words as Yang Xuewen, "Impossible, it must just be for the show!"

"Increasing liquidity is the wrong direction!"

"Electromagnetic transfer is the correct method!"

He was a review expert for Zhu Bingkun's project and gave him the wrong opinion.

This is something that many people know.

The Ministry of Science and Technology and the academic community both know that if it is proven that Zhu Bingkun's team's direction is correct, the impact on him personally will be enormous.

The seminar he chaired became a laughing stock.

This matter will likely be discussed in academic circles, and it will make him a laughing stock.

The Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Natural Science Foundation will definitely take note of this and will not invite him to be an expert reviewer for projects again in the future.

His team's applications for projects are severely affected.

Personal prestige was what he valued most.

Once he loses his personal prestige, who in the academic circle will still care about him?

Yan Lihua took a deep breath and stared intently at the screen on his phone. "Fake! Absolutely impossible!"

"Even if you could create sustained liquidity, it wouldn't last this long or be this intense!"

"This was just a special recording for the show, to show the fluidity of the experiment, after all, it's for a TV program..."

"That must be it!"
