Chapter 139: Quasi-Nobel Prize level?
"What did you find?" Old Cheng asked carefully, which made Wu Tong particularly excited to tell him that Cheng Huanan's intuition was that it was not an ordinary thing.
"I've discovered that there is a special equivalent co-bonding mechanism between metal elements at the microscopic level. Making good use of this equivalent co-bond is the key to enhancing the performance of alloys!" Wu Tong opened the door and invited the three Cheng brothers in.
The living room was not very big, and Wu Tong didn't feel much when he lived alone. But when three more people came, he suddenly felt a little out of place. However, who cared about this at the moment? Cheng Lao led the way, and the three of them followed Wu Tong's lead to the desk.
On the desk, starting from the bookshelf on the side and on the desk, there were piles of manuscripts, which really stimulated the eyes of the three visitors. Wu Tong handed the last manuscript on the desk to Cheng Lao.
The first thing that caught the three people's eyes was the series of abstract mathematical formulas on it. If people without sufficient mathematical knowledge saw it, they would be stunned instantly.
There was a tutor who majored in mathematics here. Li Yisheng barely found something familiar in the series of mathematical formulas. "What is used here is...functions, wave functions, and..."
Li Yishen scratched his head. Although he could see some of the mathematical principles used in it at a glance, he still needed to work through it step by step carefully in order to understand the mathematical inferences here.
Although his math level is acceptable, it depends on who he is compared with. Compared with his students, he naturally makes more mistakes than others. But compared with Wu Tong, who has solved three of the world's most difficult conjectures, the gap is huge.
In particular, just from this initial mathematical formula, Li Yishen could feel with shock that Wu Tong's mathematical level had improved again!
Only another month had passed. Wu Tong basically stayed in the laboratory of the School of Materials Science and rarely showed up at the School of Mathematics. This caused Dean Pan and others to be deeply worried. They were worried that the jewel of their School of Mathematics might become the jewel of the Academy in the future.
But now, Li Yishen can go back and tell those big guys in no uncertain terms that they don’t have to worry, because Wu Tong has never stopped improving his mathematics.
"Wu Tong, you should give me some pointers. Let me read something I can understand!" Cheng Huanan felt again that his recent math lessons seemed to be in vain. What was written on it? Except for some parameters, atomic structures, and unit cell images that he was familiar with, those formulas were really a pain in the ass in the ass.
Well, the math lessons he had been taking recently seemed to never keep up with the difficulty of the math that the young apprentices were learning.
Wu Tong laughed and simply pulled out a new piece of draft paper. He picked up a pen and drew the atomic structure diagram of the T4 and T5 alloy crystal cells on the draft paper. The equivalent common bonds between the metal phases produced a magical reaction, and finally an extraordinary material was obtained.
“After completing the T4 and T5 alloys, I have been wondering if there is any reaction that we cannot see, and if there is a basis that can make the material have something to rely on and a trace to follow, rather than just guessing by chance.
Then I looked for data, analyzed it, designed a mathematical model for transformation, and finally, through a series of verifications, I discovered this special equivalent co-bonding mechanism. Why is the alloy harder and tougher? It is like a piece of ordinary material is easily broken, but with this special mechanism, it becomes ten chopsticks tightly held together, and the performance is greatly improved. "
"According to the deduction of the theoretical model I designed, T4 and T5 alloys both involve this co-bonding effect. At the atomic and even more microscopic level, different elements co-bond to form new combinations, retaining the selected superior properties!" Wu Tong showed the three people her research results of the past month one by one.
"It's a pity that I have only confirmed the existence of this special mechanism. How to master this mechanism and create more superior materials requires further research!"
"I tried to use my new theory to deduce several existing alloys, and I was able to verify the existence of this special mechanism. Next, I will look for more data to verify my theory! With this theory, I believe that we will have a more accurate basis for material calculations in the future!"
If this reaction exists and the reflected data increases, it can be judged that the material performance is superior and there is potential for further research, and the error in computational materials science will be further reduced.
After hearing Wu Tong's words, the three of them seemed to hold their foreheads in their hands. In less than a month, they had achieved such amazing results, and they were still regretful? Then, those of them who followed the routine and had no results in this year, were they not worthy of breathing air and surviving?
"If you need any help from us, just let us know. This discovery is enough to be published as a major paper and become a milestone in promoting the progress of chemical materials. You can apply for it in Science or Nature!" Cheng Lao suppressed his excitement and said to Wu Tong with a smile. Although he had a hard time reading those complicated and abstract mathematical formulas, he still had a good eye for judging the results.
Such a discovery can even be called a quasi-Nobel Prize-level achievement.
"Can this be published in a paper?" Wu Tong was a little unsure. This discovery really took up a lot of her time and energy. However, Wu Tong felt that it was because her understanding of the material was too shallow that she had such a hard time. She had not thought about how significant this achievement was.
“Of course, this discovery will definitely cause a huge shock to the world’s chemical materials community. It’s purely theoretical and doesn’t have too many restrictions. You should first improve the data and produce the paper. I’ll ask the higher-ups to confirm it and then we can publish it and try to get it published in a top journal!” There are only a few articles published in Science and Nature’s main journals in China each year.
In fact, the materials developed by Wu Tong in the first two times were both able to be published in the world's top journals, Science and Nature. However, as the performance of those two epoch-making materials in aviation was tested in various extreme environments and the data was presented one by one, they have been classified as major state secrets and have become strategic-level protection reserves. They cannot be disclosed to the outside world, and naturally Wu Tong cannot publish them to the public.
"In our school, science or nature, there is a prize of one million yuan for a paper. Wu Tong, you are going to have good fortune again!" Li Yisheng finally calmed down the deep shock in his heart and congratulated with a smile.
Article 28 of the Kyoto University Scholarship provides a reward of NT$1 million for each paper published in the international academic journals Nature or Science.
According to the JCR journal division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that year, a reward of 100,000 yuan will be given to each article in JCR1 zone journals, 80,000 yuan to each article in JCR2 zone journals, 60,000 yuan to each article in JCR3 zone journals, and 30,000 yuan to each article in JCR4 zone journals. A reward of 20,000 yuan will be given to each article in EI-indexed journals or Shanghai University Chinese core journals...
