Chapter 22
Rumor has it that school leaders are considering a proposal: requiring students to clock in for morning exercises.
This news quickly caused widespread panic.
Everyone naturally wants to be healthier, but college students are willing to take walks or jog a lap or two on the playground from time to time, follow online celebrities to do aerobics live, and customize their own training plans. However, they are quite averse to the mandatory exercise requirements imposed by the school!
All those words can be summed up in one sentence: The boss is an idiot!
Among the students who were vehemently criticizing the school leaders, Fan Yongjie was one of the few exceptions. He had been working in seclusion for the past few days, preparing for the competition and for two other members of the school team, cutting himself off from the outside world and even missing the sports meet. He had only just left the lab today.
As soon as he left the lab, he headed towards the office building to deliver the summary materials of his recent research retreat to the research office. He walked familiarly up to the third floor, and just as he was about to head to the research office at the end of the corridor, he seemed to hear the name "Ji Zhixing."
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw faint sounds of discussion coming from the conference room around the corner.
Through the heavy door, Fan Yongjie couldn't hear what the people inside were saying, only vaguely catching a few words that were spoken a little louder.
"proposal"
"Beneficial to everyone"
"All students"
"Considering the students' needs"
"Without any harm"
"Promote"
Unable to glean anything from the few words spoken, Fan Yongjie continued walking towards the end of the corridor.
As soon as he left the office building after submitting the materials, his face darkened. What had Ji Zhixing done now? Couldn't this guy just behave himself? Why did he have to be so attention-seeking? He cursed Ji Zhixing angrily in his heart; he hadn't forgotten the grudge from the last lab class!
"President! President!"
Fan Yongjie turned around and saw Xue Mei, a junior student who had just joined the association this semester.
The title "Chairman" sounded very pleasant to Fan Yongjie, especially after he had heard cold words and sarcastic remarks in the laboratory for several days.
He's had a really bad time in the lab these past few days. Just because he joined later, those two seniors are ostracizing him!
The Guangling University team originally consisted of seniors Zhao Yi and Sun Er, and junior Li Shan. However, Li Shan unfortunately got into a car accident during the summer vacation, suffering a severe fracture of her thighbone, and had to take a year off from school, making it impossible for her to come to the university.
Professor Fan Chuanshuo, as the coach of the school team, took advantage of his proximity and directly put his "quite talented" son in the team to get a free pass.
Actually, Zhao Yi and Sun Er were initially unwilling to let Fan Yongjie join. They wanted to keep Li Shan's name on the list because the three of them had already completed the most difficult part. The rest could be handled by having a freshman run the data, or by having Li Shan stay home and monitor the software. Alternatively, they wouldn't mind if the two of them worked a little harder.
If they can successfully pass the provincial entrance exam, the three of them, including Li Shan, can be directly recommended for postgraduate studies, which will at least make up for the time lost due to her suspension of studies because of the car accident.
However, Professor Fan disagreed, saying that the competition rules required each team to consist of three people. If Guangling University were disqualified because of this, and the university won nothing that year, who would take responsibility?
School leaders also tried to persuade them, and under pressure from all sides, Zhao Yi and Sun Er had no choice but to reluctantly accept Fan Yongjie's offer. Actually, if Fan Yongjie were hardworking and reliable, it wouldn't be a problem, but he always acted like a top student, complaining that whatever he asked was either too simple or too trivial.
Which of them wasn't a top student? Naturally, they wouldn't give Fan Yongjie a friendly look.
Of course, out of respect for Professor Fan, they didn't really do anything, they just didn't like to talk to him proactively, unlike others who would fawn over and praise him. But Fan Yongjie still felt extremely wronged.
From Fan Yongjie's perspective, these two are truly ungrateful! Could their research have progressed so smoothly without his father's guidance?
Li Shan can't come to school, is she just going to occupy the position without doing her job?!
After enduring several days of cold treatment and indifference in the lab, Fan Yongjie felt much better when faced with the cute smile of the junior student. He became unusually patient and put on a gentle and amiable smile.
"It's you. What's up?"
Why were you so eager to stop him? Could it be...?
Fan Yongjie's mind wandered, and his smile grew even gentler. Although his targets were the beauty queen of the art academy and the only daughter of the province's richest man from the literature department, a fleeting romance with a cute junior from his junior school wasn't out of the question.
Xue Mei was originally going to the office to ask their student union advisor for information, but she happened to see Fan Yongjie and decided to ask him about the situation first.
"Did you just come out of the office building, senior? Have you heard any news?"
Fan Yongjie casually pushed up his glasses: "Which aspect are you referring to? There's a lot of news about the office building."
"I heard that the school has some proposal recently, and they're going to assign everyone some tasks."
Fan Yongjie recalled the snippets he had overheard. Although he didn't know the specifics of the proposal, how could he possibly admit he didn't know in front of the junior schoolmate who admired him?
He nodded and said vaguely, "Yes, that's true." If the junior student asked for more details, he would say that it was still confidential and he couldn't say.
"Has it been decided yet?"
Do you want this proposal to pass or not?
"Uh...hehe...of course I hope it passes." Xue Mei said against her will.
Fan Yongjie loves to use official jargon and lectures the first-year students with grand principles. If you directly say that you don't want the school to arrange physical exercise, you'll definitely have to listen to his rambling for at least an hour!
Fan Yongjie thought to himself, since this is what everyone wants, it must be a good thing.
He smiled with relief: "That's good. It wasn't for nothing that I was thinking of everyone while I was busy with the competition." He deliberately obscured the specifics.
"Huh? This proposal was put forward by you, Chairman!" Xue Mei's eyes widened in surprise. So the leaders didn't just have a sudden, impulsive idea; it was because of Fan Yongjie?!
"It's just for everyone's benefit. I only made a suggestion, and the final decision rests with the leaders."
Fan Yongjie looked at Xue Mei's surprised face and smiled faintly, as if unwilling to take credit.
He waited to see Xue Mei show an admiring expression, but instead saw her face suddenly seem to distort, and her eyes became ferocious.
"Junior... what's wrong?"
"No! Goodbye!" Xue Mei said through gritted teeth as she left in a huff.
After leaving the library in a hurry, Ji Zhixing went to the cafeteria first. His brain had been working frantically all day, and he was starving.
Upon reaching the second floor, he greeted the owner of the braised pork rice stall with a smile and bought a serving of braised pork rice and pork rib soup.
He took a bite of the braised pork, ah! It still melts in his mouth! Ji Zhixing was wolfing down his food when he suddenly heard a discussion behind him.
"Have you heard? It seems the school has decided that everyone will have to do morning exercises every day!"
Ji Zhixing paused, his hand still holding the soup ladle. "No way, is that referee serious?!"
"Holy crap! Really?! Weren't we still discussing it?"
"It seems the results just came out. Do you know why the school came up with such a terrible idea? It's because of a certain student!"
Ji Zhixing's heart skipped a beat. What if... he was going to become the enemy of the entire school starting today!
"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me! Which idiot is it!"
Ji Zhixing gripped his chopsticks tightly, his heart leaping into his throat. Would leaving now be too obvious...?
"I forgot."
Ji Zhixing slowly exhaled.
I'll beat you to death!
"Oh dear, I really forgot. You know I have a bad memory..."
"Ji Zhixing".
When his name was suddenly called, Ji Zhixing tensed up and looked up to see that it was Zhang Biao.
"It's you." I was so scared.
He was extremely guilty of his "theft" and wanted to shout, "I'm innocent!"
Zhang Biao sat down opposite Ji Zhixing. The two had become acquainted since he had served as Ji Zhixing's support staff for the 3,000-meter race at the sports meet. Moreover, he had just heard something that he really had to say.
"Zhixing, do you know about the morning exercise?"
Here we go again! The braised meat in my mouth suddenly became hard to swallow. This meal is so difficult!
Do you know who it is because of?!
Seeing Zhang Biao's indignant expression, Ji Zhixing silently shook his head, trying to appear innocent.
Zhang Biao spoke angrily: "Fan! Yong! Jie!"
"Ha!" Ji Zhixing's back, which had been gradually becoming humble, straightened up instantly.
"That scoundrel only cares about currying favor with the leaders, dragging everyone down with him!"
"What... what's going on?" How did this scapegoat fall on Fan Yongjie's head?
Zhang Biao relayed the information, which had been passed around several times, to Ji Zhixing.
If it were a school leader suddenly coming up with such a terrible idea on a whim, it wouldn't be so bad. The problem is that Fan Yongjie, also a student, proactively suggested it to the leadership. In everyone's eyes, Fan Yongjie was just trying to curry favor with the leaders by stepping on everyone else, making himself seem particularly—positive and ambitious!
After learning that Fan Yongjie had taken his place in the matter, Ji Zhixing silently lit incense for him in his heart, thanking him for his help!
After finally getting the whole story from his cousin Liu Shihui, Fan Yongjie was filled with remorse! He wasn't stupid; if he had known it was about this, how could he have admitted it like that!
His popularity plummeted in just one day. Although no one dared to scold him to his face out of respect for his professor father, almost everyone who saw him wore a cold expression.
Fan Yongjie sensed something was wrong and hurriedly went to the office building to ask a teacher he knew for information. After learning that he had actually been made a scapegoat for Ji Zhixing, his resentment was practically boiling over!
However, his explanations and attempts to clarify things were dismissed as mere sophistry, and no one was willing to believe the truth he presented.
Meanwhile, Ji Zhixing, the "culprit," remained silent, refusing to utter a word in response to Fan Yongjie's accusations. Instead, he garnered a lot of sympathy points, with the forum filled with people relentlessly criticizing Fan Yongjie while simultaneously praising him.
The document on morning exercises was met with strong opposition from almost all students. However, the school leaders, being humane, solicited everyone's opinions and changed their approach.
It is not mandatory, it is entirely voluntary, and there are rewards.
Students who are willing to participate in morning exercises will receive a meal subsidy of 6 yuan for each time they check in, which will be deposited into their personal meal card at the end of the month.
As soon as the announcement was issued, everyone spread the word and expressed that although Fan Yongjie was a scoundrel, the leaders were still wise!
Although the meal allowance for running exercises is not much, about half of the participants are still willing to participate.
People aren't actually that averse to exercise; they just lack motivation and incentive. Six yuan a time may not seem like much, but every little bit helps. With the money saved from their living expenses, they can buy something they like.
Some students who spend money without a plan and whose balance is running low at the end of each month rely on this channel as a last resort for food.
The prices at Guangling University's canteen are not high; a meal allowance of 6 yuan is enough to have a proper meal with both meat and vegetables.
In short, it's a win-win situation: you can exercise and make money at the same time.
Of course, not everyone can stick to running every day, but many people can manage to do it once or twice a week, and many people have gradually developed the habit of exercising as a result.
While the running exercises were in full swing at Guangling University, the competition in dormitory 310 was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Lin Lang even got a brilliant idea in his dream.
One morning, Lin Lang woke up early and clutched his phone, screaming, "My phone! My phone!"
Ji Zhixing was woken up by the noise: "Lin Lang, what's wrong?"
Lin Lang repeatedly tried placing his finger on the sensor, and frantically pressed the power button repeatedly: "My phone is broken! It's not responding!"
"No..." Xu Dongyang also woke up, "Didn't you want to change it a long time ago?"
Lin Lang had long had his eye on the newly released Xiaomi Dream Pro 1S, and lately he'd been constantly muttering, "Why isn't my phone broken yet?" Now that the phone had indeed broken, why was he reacting like this?
"No! I had a brilliant idea in my dream last night, and I vaguely jotted it down on my phone!" He couldn't remember anything after waking up, only that the idea in his dream was extraordinary, but now his phone wouldn't turn on!
Lin Lang was so anxious that his heart rate became irregular.
Seeing how flustered he was, Ji Zhixing took his phone, looked at it, plugged it into the charger, and it responded: "It must be out of power."
He pressed and held the power button to turn it on.
"You scared me to death!" Lin Lang took the phone. The few dozen seconds it took to boot up made him jump for joy. He was so anxious when it finally worked. He eagerly opened the memo app.
Ji Zhixing and Xu Dongyang curiously gathered around to see what inspiration could have made Lin Lang so anxious.
The memo contained only one sentence: The more cotton, the softer the chair;
...
Lin Lang was dumbfounded. This was the incredible, brilliant idea he had written down last night?! Impossible!
He went through all the apps on his phone that could record information, and even checked the phone's activity log, but finally had to give up...
Ji Zhixing and Xu Dongyang were both amused and exasperated, but it also showed that Lin Lang was truly focused on the competition, to the point that he was dreaming about it day and night, although...
A morning that was both funny and frustrating began the day, and dormitory 310 started another full day of professional study and project research.
For the past two months, the three members of Dorm 310 have been obsessed with the zero-gravity chair. Even someone like Lin Lang, who is prone to acting crazy, is thinking about it, let alone Xu Dongyang and Ji Zhixing.
Xu Dongyang almost forgot that their original intention in participating in the competition was to thwart Wang Sikai's path to graduate school; he was only focused on doing a good job on the project. When it was time to change into autumn clothes, the sweatshirts that fit well last year now looked a size too big.
What's even more exhausting than focusing solely on the project is multitasking. While working on the project, Ji Zhixing also kept a close eye on them, making sure they didn't fall behind in their studies. For example, with lab reports, everyone else was cutting corners, but Ji Zhixing insisted that they meticulously record the experimental process and data, and he wouldn't let them copy.
They weren't ungrateful; of course they understood that Ji Zhixing was genuinely doing this for their own good, but it was exhausting!
Try having a Wuling Hongguang tow two semi-trailers!
However, after this period of training, they felt they had improved a lot. They broadened their knowledge, improved their ability to analyze and solve problems, and their mental performance was greatly enhanced—almost... not quite a Ferrari, but a Mercedes, I suppose.
After nearly two months of arduous journey for the competition, they finally reached the finish line.
That evening, after lunch, the students were enjoying the most leisurely time of their day in their dormitories.
Suddenly, a howl pierced the sky, vibrating everyone's eardrums, followed by a continuous stream of excited roars.
What... happened?
Everyone opened their dormitory doors and looked around the corridor, but there was nothing unusual in the corridor.
Zhang Biao listened intently: "It sounds like... the voice of 310."
"What's wrong with their dorm?" someone asked.
"have no idea."
Dorm 310 used to be quite quiet, except for the occasional loud noise from Lin Lang.
But lately, things have been getting more noisy. Sometimes Lin Lang screams as if he's being ganged up on. And today, besides Lin Lang, it seems the other two are also screaming, their voices filled with what could only be described as ecstatic joy, making one wonder if their entire dorm has won the lottery.
The howling stopped after a minute.
Zhang Biao thought for a moment, then went over and knocked on the door.
The door opened as soon as he knocked, revealing Lin Lang with bloodshot eyes.
Zhang Biao asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Before he could finish speaking, Lin Lang grabbed him and pulled him close.
Unable to contain his excitement, Lin Lang grabbed Zhang Biao and shook him violently, shouting, "We did it!!"
"What--"
Ji Zhixing looked at him with sympathy and rescued him from Lin Lang's grasp.
Xu Dongyang excitedly punched the air: "Our project has been successfully debugged!"
"Is it a competition? That's great!" Zhang Biao glanced at the computer screen on the table. It was filled with dense lines and colorful numbers. He couldn't understand it after a couple of glances, but he still sincerely offered his blessings.
During this period, dormitory 310 students either went out early and returned late or stayed home very little, and everyone could see their dedication to the competition.
Although most people don't have high hopes for them, let's look at their specifications:
Lin Lang is a recognized non-enrolled student at the sports academy. In his freshman year, he would skip classes to play basketball and soccer, and when asked to write a lab report, he would rather run 10,000 meters.
Xu Dongyang is more composed, but when he attends class, he hides "Economics" under "Theoretical Mechanics" and "Marketing Management" next to "Atomic Physics." I don't know if he intends to switch majors, but it's fair to say that most of his mind is not on physics.
As for Ji Zhixing, he does seem to have some academic prowess now, but how much of this self-taught academic talent is truly valuable is anyone's guess until the final exams.
Can three cobblers like these outwit Zhuge Liangs who are competing?
Moreover, they started so late. The school team began designing the project last year and only successfully submitted their application a few days ago. Ji Zhixing and his team only started after they signed up, giving them a full two months. They probably can't even build the framework yet.
Of course, although we didn't have a high opinion of their project, everyone offered words of encouragement, emphasizing that participation is the most important thing.
I didn't expect them to actually complete a project. I just don't know how good it is. If they can get a provincial third or even a provincial second, then all their hard work during this period will have been worthwhile.
Ji Zhixing and the other two also felt that their hard work and painstaking efforts over this period of time had finally paid off.
They spent the last two days working tirelessly, staring at the software and running data, and finally succeeded! Now, once they've finished writing the project proposal, design document, and review paper, everything will be perfect, and they can submit their final application!
Lin Lang wanted to burst into song "Only by Fighting Will You Win" right there and then, but Ji Zhixing and Xu Dongyang covered his mouth, so he didn't end this historic day in a ridiculous way.
They are unaware of what historical juncture they are in. After their initial excitement subsided, the three decided to go outside the school for a barbecue to celebrate.
We happened to run into Zhao Yi and Sun Er, who were also participating in the competition, at the entrance of "Lai Kao Ba". They decided to book a private room and eat together.
Although they were competitors, the students at the school were relatively innocent and didn't harbor any animosity towards each other. In fact, upon learning that second-year students had also signed up for the competition, Zhao Yi and Sun Er proactively reminded them of some competition details. For example, when writing a paper after completing the project, they were sure to highlight the innovative points, especially when explaining them with analytical diagrams and model diagrams.
Many review committees choose to first skim through all the analytical diagrams and model figures in a paper, and only read through the dozens or even hundreds of pages they deem valuable. Therefore, in the figure annotation section, it is essential to highlight your most crucial points, especially your innovative ideas.
The five of them sat down in the private room. After ordering, Zhao Yi asked, "How's your project going?"
"It just ran successfully on XQual and Test Collab today."
"That's great. You should also hurry up and finish writing the paper. Don't wait until the last day to submit it."
“Yes!” Sun Er explained, “Last year, a project team from Northwest University revised their paper half an hour before the deadline. As a result, when they went online to submit the application, their local area network was attacked by foreign hackers. The school simply cut off the server, and the data could not be transmitted at all, let alone submitted online.”
By the time the server was back up and running, the deadline had long passed. Although the situation was special, a deadline is a deadline, and the project team had no choice but to accept their bad luck. Moreover, all three members of that project team were seniors, so they had no chance to participate in the competition again.
Ji Zhixing and the other two were horrified. How terrible!
After drinking three rounds of cola, Zhao Yi remembered something else.
Have you applied for a patent?
"Patent?" Ji Zhixing, Xu Dongyang, and Lin Lang looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Should we apply for a patent too?" He had researched a lot of patent documents online, but those were all commercial patents of companies and enterprises. Should they apply for one as well?
Sun Er explained, "There's no rule that you have to apply, but I suggest you apply anyway, just in case a company takes a liking to your project."
To avoid suspicion, they didn't inquire about the project's details and were unaware of what they were doing. However, if adding two tassels to a regular face mask can qualify for a design patent, what's wrong with them applying for one for their legitimate research?
Sun Er gave Ji Zhixing and the others several examples.
"The project that won the National First Prize for Shortwave Radio Frequency Electric Eavesdropping Device from Yenching University two years ago was approached by a state-owned enterprise on the same day. Do you know how much the patent buyout fee was in the end?"
The three ignorant people shook their heads in unison.
Thirty million!
Wow! Lin Lang started to fantasize. If everyone got ten million, they could live comfortably for the rest of their lives on that money.
Xu Dongyang thought about his family's company and pondered how he could use ten million yuan.
Ji Zhixing was also quite surprised. However, ever since he signed for that Patek Philippe for 100 million yuan, saw the 1 gram of fullerene worth 800 million yuan in the advanced laboratory of the system, and touched the 160 billion yuan large electron-positron collider, his value judgment system seemed to have been disrupted. He was no longer interested in the unit of "tens of millions".
Seeing Ji Zhixing's calm and composed demeanor, Zhao Yi nodded inwardly. A team needs a leader like him.
"Remember this: if you don't know how to apply for a patent, you can find a patent agent. Although it takes at least six months to get a patent approved, you must submit the patent technical solution before applying for the project and get the application number and acceptance notice."
"That's right, have you heard about what happened at East Bay University?"
The three ignorant individuals shook their heads in unison once again.
"What a disaster!" Sun Er slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "Do you know how much money we were talking about? Forty-five million! But because we didn't apply for a patent, we didn't get a single penny!"
It's said that during the contract signing phase, the foreign company discovered that they hadn't applied for patents for their project, and immediately made an excuse to postpone the signing. They also arranged for someone to take the three students to various places, including foot massage parlors, hot springs, KTVs, and nightclubs.
When the three woke up one day, they found the place deserted and the company representative's phone was unreachable. Upon returning to school, they discovered that their patent had been preemptively registered by a foreign company during that time.
The lawsuit has been going on for over a decade, and the three individuals from East Bay University have still not been able to fully reclaim their patent.
Therefore, project teams participating in the CUPT competition in previous years, as long as they believe that their projects have some commercial value, will apply for patents before submitting their project applications.
"Of course, winning a national award doesn't guarantee you'll be able to sell the products, but it's always good to apply first."
The award-winning projects are theoretically valuable, but they are either not unique enough, as there are already similar alternatives on the market, or they are too advanced, as contemporary technology and materials cannot support the transition from theory to practice.
In fact, out of all the years of the CUPT competition, only 46 teams have actually monetized their projects, accounting for no more than 1.6%. And not all of them can be sold for tens of millions; many are sold for only one or two hundred thousand.
In short, filing a patent application first is just hoping for that 1.6% chance.
However, the three exchanged glances and all had great confidence in their project.
They took all factors into full consideration during the design of this project.
From the basic frequencies of various human organs to skeletal curves, from muscle group distribution to nerve load, from sensor decay to motor drive sensitivity, everything has been fully considered. Furthermore, the automatic judgment, resistance preprocessing, and precise reaction force calculation models designed based on the Navier-Stokes equations are almost perfect.
Although it has not been tested with actual materials, the packaged data runs smoothly on XQual and Test Collab, and can react instantly to changes in human activity with a reaction speed of 0.001 seconds, counteracting the pressure exerted by the human body, thereby achieving a zero-gravity effect in a sitting position.
It can be said that as long as the Navier-Stokes equations do not malfunction, their project, even if it may have some bugs, will not be a major problem.
Moreover, the commercial prospects for zero-gravity chairs are simply too broad. From centenarians to toddlers, who doesn't need a chair?
Especially for students and office workers, their buttocks suffer from long-term strain. Overworking is the norm, and sitting for several hours at a time is not just tiring; it can also damage the coccyx and lumbar spine, and even cause embarrassing problems such as hemorrhoids.
Putting aside others, if a zero-gravity seat were to be launched, Lin Lang would definitely be the first to go and bring one back.
The meal lasted two or three hours. After parting ways at "Come and Grill," Zhao Yi and Sun Er instructed them: "If any company takes a liking to your project, don't accept their invitations to meals! How can we, who have never left school, outsmart those old foxes?"
The trio humbly accepted the instruction.
The next day, they decided to each take charge of a part of the task according to their individual strengths.
Ji Zhixing was responsible for writing the design book and review paper, Lin Lang was responsible for checking for bugs and organizing and packaging the data, and Xu Dongyang was responsible for writing the project application and patent technology solution to apply for a patent.
Although Ji Zhixing had never written a paper, he had read many papers, including the four large boxes of competition materials printed out by the commissioning system.
Therefore, he knew exactly how to write the design book and review paper.
Moreover, he was the one who spearheaded and coordinated this project, and he was very familiar with the parts that Lin Lang and Xu Dongyang were responsible for. Now, all he had to do was to put their design process and technical solutions for the zero-gravity seat into writing.
Ji Zhixing went straight to the library with his laptop because people kept coming to see what was going on after they heard that their project was finished, and his train of thought was easily interrupted.
After settling onto his personal throne, "Curse of Light," he turned on his computer and typed the title: "A Zero-Gravity Seat Designed Using a 3D Multi-Mesh Method Based on Steady Navier-Stokes Equations and Coupled Damping Moment Volume Rendering."
I'll write the abstract later; let's first outline the table of contents:
1. Introduction;
2. Background Technology;
3. Calculation method;
4. Examples and Analysis;
5. Conclusion;
After writing the first-level headings, Ji Zhixing pressed Enter after "Background Technology" and then wrote the second-level headings.
The background technologies are mainly those mentioned in the title: steady Navier-Stokes equations, near-field and far-field hydrodynamics, coupled damping moment volume rendering 3D multi-mesh method, and so on.
The calculation methods are divided into four aspects: governing equations, spatial discretization, boundary conditions, and the calculation method of the derivative of the rolling damping moment coefficient.
The examples and analyses are also divided into four aspects: verification of the boundary layer equation solution, the influence of rolling angular velocity on rolling torque, rolling torque coefficients under different states, arrangement of discrete points and generation of point clouds.
Great! Table of contents done!
After setting up the table of contents, Ji Zhixing wrote the paper with unparalleled ease, completing the steady Navier-Stokes equations section of the background technology in just one hour.
He paused to catch his breath, and as his attention wandered, he couldn't help but think of that Millennium Prize problem. Hmm, I wonder when the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equations will be proven.
Two hundred years ago, the mathematical genius Euler wrote down the first set of equations, and to this day, countless physicists and mathematicians around the world are still searching for the answers. If he could see them in his lifetime, it would truly be a historic moment.
Intrigued by the Navier-Stokes equations, he opened ProQuest, searched for recently published related papers, and randomly opened one to read.
"Excuse me, may I sit here?"
Huh? Ji Zhixing looked up and saw a boy he didn't recognize. He nodded.
The library seats are naturally unclaimed; you can sit wherever there's an empty seat—as long as this guy can withstand the "curse of light" later.
Zhu Bo sat down opposite Ji Zhixing and subtly adjusted the angle so that the miniature camera hidden in his collar and cuffs was aimed at Ji Zhixing.
Zhu Bo is a streamer on the Whale Live platform. Most streamers on Whale Live are talent streamers, beauty streamers, game streamers, and e-commerce streamers, but Zhu Bo's content is quite unique. He calls himself a "counterfeit hunter".
At first, like most professional counterfeit hunters, he targeted expired food, unlicensed products, and counterfeit goods. He obtained "compensation" through claims and received tips through live streaming.
Later, people gradually developed a dislike for professional counterfeit hunters, and some of them were even investigated by the police for suspected extortion. Zhu Bo then considered changing his approach.
Once, he participated in a platform event and connected with a streamer. The streamer used his prominent family background as a selling point, claimed to be someone in a "deep" circle, and had millions of fans who addressed him as "Young Master." Then, he criticized Zhu Bo relentlessly, saying that it was an insult for the "Young Master" to connect with Zhu Bo.
However, Zhu Bo recognized that this so-called young master was clearly the son of his uncle's neighbor who had just returned from studying abroad! His family was just an ordinary working-class family; they didn't have any illustrious family background.
Zhu Bo was very unhappy with the criticism from his fans, so he simply made an exposé on the fake young master, and it became a hit!
Having tasted success, Zhu Bo shifted his focus from objects to people when exposing counterfeits, which indeed attracted more traffic than before. From then on, he became unstoppable, going further and further down the path of exposing counterfeits, and has now accumulated millions of fans.
Zhu Bo has recently set his sights on Ji Zhixing from Guangling University, who has been frequently trending on social media lately. He suspects that Ji Zhixing is actually a carefully crafted newcomer by a talent agency, and his so-called academic star status is a lie!
Generally speaking, the more famous the target of a fraud exposé is, the more traffic it can attract to their live stream.
However, Zhu Bo has always been very discreet. He would never provoke any first-tier, second-tier, or third-tier celebrity, even if he knew that their persona was fake. The capital behind celebrities is not to be trifled with.
Therefore, his favorite targets for exposing fraud are internet celebrities, obscure stars, has-been artists, or star candidates like Ji Zhixing, who, although still an ordinary person, have been repeatedly pushed to the top of the trending searches.
The reason why Ji Zhixing is considered a potential star is because there are just too many suspicious things about him.
First and foremost, one word: handsome! Well-defined eyebrows, a high-bridged nose, perfect features—in short, he's on par with today's most popular young actors. In this era of male beauty-driven popularity, it would be strange if such a handsome man didn't get discovered.
Secondly, an ordinary person might not even make it to the trending topics list once in their entire life, but Ji Zhixing has done so twice in just two months! And there are also candid photos circulating from time to time. It would be strange if there weren't some kind of pusher behind the scenes.
Third, the transformation in Ji Zhixing. After targeting Ji Zhixing, he lurked on the Guangling University forum for a long time and found two dedicated posts related to Ji Zhixing.
These two posts are way too deliberate.
From the post titled "A Small Goal," we can see that Ji Zhixing was originally very poor, unable to even afford proper meals at the cafeteria. Suddenly, one day, an incredibly wealthy family member appeared in his life, gifting him a Patek Philippe worth 100 million yuan in a single transaction.
Ha, what a joke! Suddenly becoming a rich man's son at twenty. Whether those ten Patek Philippe watches were genuine or not is hard to say, otherwise why don't we ever see Ji Zhixing wearing them?
There is also a post titled "Betting". From the comments in the post, it can be seen that Ji Zhixing's grades in his freshman year were just average. In the past two months, he suddenly became very bright and was even able to outperform the original top students in class.
Even with intensive tutoring, his learning ability couldn't possibly improve that quickly. Therefore, it's highly likely that the top student was actually paid by a talent agency to work with him.
The two posts, one portraying a wealthy persona and the other a brilliant student, are both incredibly stylish. Add to that his good looks, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they're sure to go viral.
And he was that accident!
"Ah! This guy is so handsome! I love him!"
"Wouldn't it be better for someone with this kind of looks to debut? That guy in the recent historical drama is just too ugly."
"Exactly, the female lead is so pitiful. Acting alongside that guy should be considered a work injury."
"This young man would be a perfect match for the role."
"Please, that's not the point!"
"Exactly, just debut openly and honestly, why bother creating this 'ordinary student genius' persona?"
"They probably saw how popular that Tibetan guy was a while ago and wanted to capitalize on the popularity of ordinary people."
"Yes, if you don't have any ethnic flair, just wear the halo of being a top student, and you'll have the fashion value."
"This is awful! I like looking at handsome guys, but I don't like being deceived!"
"That's why Little Pig came to expose the fakes—"
"These days, entertainment companies are coming up with all sorts of new ways to promote their artists."
"But... I don't think he's necessarily a fake academic genius."
"True gold fears no fire; if he's a real academic genius, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Yes, and Xiaozhu's live stream has millions of followers, which also brought him traffic."
"But... what if he's not actually a star who's going to debut, and he's just an ordinary person?"
"The little pig will apologize to him, so what did he lose?"
"The person upstairs is so strange, why are they always speaking up for him?"
"Internet trolls?"
"Wow, that agency is really dedicated. They've already set up an online army of trolls before their official debut."
"No! I'm not a paid troll!"
"Then just watch the show, what's the rush!"
...
Zhu Bo propped his phone up on a phone stand and watched the chaotic battle unfold on the screen, secretly pleased. "Good, a lively atmosphere makes it easier to attract traffic."
Zhu Bo pointed the hidden camera at Ji Zhixing and started reading the book he had brought. He needed to lay the groundwork so as not to arouse Ji Zhixing's suspicion.
"Ah, this spot... it seems like Ji Zhixing was sitting in this spot in those candid photos."
"That's so fake, there's no such thing as a fixed seat in a library."
"It was definitely filmed in one take, with several different outfits changed."
"The light here is so bright, it's impossible to read a book from here!"
"But the lighting is great, it looks dreamy like it's been filtered, and that's the kind of look that young girls love these days."
Zhu Bo pretended to look at it for a while, then feigned difficulty and said softly, "Excuse me, are you a physics major? I have a question that I can't figure out. Could you please help me?"
Ji Zhixing looked up in surprise. This was the first time someone had asked him a question in the library. They must have seen the paper about the physics competition on his desk.
"I'm actually a beginner myself, but you might as well tell me what you know, if I can." There was no one around the large table where the Curse of Light was located, so if they kept their voices down, they wouldn't disturb the other students reading.
"See? They're starting to make excuses."
"They're very cautious, and they even know to lay the groundwork by saying they're just starting out."
"Why do you always think the worst? Can't you just be humble?"
"Disperse the online trolls!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
"Speechless! Can't people just talk normally?!"
...
Zhu Bo glanced at the screen, then took out the questions he had carefully prepared and handed them to Ji Zhixing.
Ji Zhixing took a look and saw that the question was "to perform a Laurent expansion of f(z) = 1/e^z-1 in the neighborhood of z = 0". This should be a question in the category of mathematical physics methods.
"Which part don't you understand?" Ji Zhixing asked, picking up his pen.
"It's just... I can't solve the problem."
Ji Zhixing asked a few more questions and found that the boy didn't seem to understand the questions very well.
"Excuse me, what year are you in?"
"I'm a freshman in the School of Mathematical Sciences." Zhu Bo had already decided on his identity.
There are fewer than two hundred students in the four grades of the Physics Department. Even if you can't remember their names, you can at least recognize their faces, so he definitely can't be from the Physics Department.
If you say you're a freshman, it's perfectly normal if he doesn't understand later.
"He's a freshman in the math department," Ji Zhixing thought, pen in hand. "Then I can't explain it to him using the Laplace transform. Hmm, how can I analyze it so he can understand?" Ji Zhixing began to recall the math reading list the system had given him.
"See? You can't make it."
"How long does he need to think about it? It won't take an hour or two, will it?"
"Perhaps they wanted to drag it out until the little pig got impatient and withdrew the question himself."
"Actually... it's quite moving to see someone deep in thought like that."
"Who can argue with that? You're such a beautiful woman, why did you have to resort to such a thief? Wouldn't it have been better to debut properly and follow the proper procedures? Why did you have to create this persona?"
"It may not be his own choice. What say do newcomers have in front of capital?"
"Disperse the online trolls!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Upon seeing several familiar usernames, Zhu Bo smiled knowingly. These were his partner's alternate accounts, used to stir up trouble and guide the direction of comments in the comment section.
A note from the author:
The question is from the internet.
