Chapter 21
Countless self-media outlets reposted those few relatively clear and complete videos, giving them sensational headlines.
"Twists and turns again: A thrilling game-winning shot in basketball!"
Even TV dramas wouldn't dare portray this! A basketball game features an incredible long-range comeback in the final 3 seconds!
A must-see: A super long-range shot that spans the entire court in 0.9 seconds!
College basketball games are just as intense as the NBA.
A phenomenal match, culminating in a miraculous final shot!
A new hashtag, "Miracle Goal at the Guangling Games," appeared on Weibo and quickly became a trending topic within half an hour, with its ranking rising rapidly.
Online users were stunned after watching the video.
"The final game-winning shot was like something out of a comic book!"
"What's the big deal? I've had that in my dreams too!" (doge.jpg)
"If it were me, I could brag about this goal for the rest of my life!"
"That was amazing! They were about to win after making all their free throws, but then they pulled one back to tie the score."
"I'm so lucky!"
"Why does it always have to be luck? Why can't someone have the ability?"
"Why does that number 66 look so familiar? I'm absolutely certain I've seen him before!"
"I remember now, that handsome guy was trending on social media around National Day, with the hashtag 'Academic genius uses physics calculations to prove his innocence'!"
"Could that shot have been calculated too?"
"Just those two or three seconds?"
"I'm willing to believe it was calculated, not luck, but skill!"
"Putting everything else aside, his arm strength is too strong. He can get the ball under the opponent's basket and throw it out directly."
"The opponents were stunned. It's a disaster!"
"I saw some people were already celebrating, but who knew..." (tears welling up.jpg)
"With 12 seconds left, that number 1 player was able to withstand the pressure and make a shot, which is also very impressive."
"Yes, he didn't give up even with 3 seconds left, and he even rushed to the opponent's basket." (Starry-eyed.jpg)
"I'm a little bit hooked! Never give up until the very last moment!" (Go for it!)
"Really, until the very last second, no one knows what will happen."
...
The related terms are becoming increasingly popular, and videos related to the Guangling Games are also popping up one after another.
"Damn! That handsome guy who won the 3000 meters looks so much like number 66."
"A current student from Guangling University answers your question: It's the same person."
"I don't believe it!!"
"According to the timeline, he went to play ball right after finishing a 3,000-meter run?!"
"Oh my god, I can't even run 800..."
"He's not human!"
Self-media outlets, sensing a new trending topic, quickly edited and spliced together several videos, starting a new round of riding the wave of popularity.
"Winning Two Championships in a Quarter of Hour: The Secret 99.99% of People Don't Know!"
Shocking! He proved his innocence at the car accident scene with a pen, easily won the 3000-meter race, and turned the tide on the basketball court—let's uncover the story of this extraordinary individual from Guangling University…
...
Many reporters and media professionals rushed to Guangling University, hoping to interview Ji Zhixing and get firsthand information, but Ji Zhixing politely declined them all, saying that he would rather spend that time doing more planks.
Afterwards, seeing how much Lin Lang loved basketball, Ji Zhixing wrote down a secret manual and taught him everything he knew. Lin Lang studied the draft paper for a full hour, then said that he couldn't do the work of a cultured person, and that he would stick to the tough guy route.
The friendly matches between colleges did not create any deep-seated hatred, so later some basketball players from other colleges, including the School of Chemistry, came to ask Ji Zhixing if he had any secrets.
Ji Zhixing distributed a manual to everyone, containing calculation formulas and training methods. After reading it, most people had the same reaction as Lin Lang.
Qiu Lan was an exception. He studied the manual for half a month and humbly sought advice from Ji Zhixing, thus beginning his unconventional training mode.
He bought a force gauge to test his arm strength in various situations, trained his accuracy in estimating distances and angles with his naked eye, and did practice problems every day to improve his sensitivity to numbers and his instantaneous calculation ability...
Of course, regular training was not neglected.
To outsiders, Qiu Lan seemed like someone in a martial arts novel who had mistakenly practiced evil techniques and gone mad.
When practicing, you also need to bring a length ruler, an angle ruler, and an anemometer.
He even recorded his shooting motion, measured various angles and lengths on the screen, and then drew out a series of formulas and numbers on a piece of scrap paper.
"You don't actually believe it, do you?" someone asked him.
"Why not?" Qiu Lan replied.
Since Qiu Lan showed no other abnormalities, and as a physics student, his work on gravity, velocity, length, and the like was a specialized field, people got used to it and stopped paying attention.
Later, the same year Ji Zhixing was exceptionally elected as an academician, Qiu Lan was also recruited by the NBA with a hefty sum. At the annual MVP award ceremony the following year, he stepped onto the stage amidst the attention of thousands and sincerely said:
"My physical education teacher was my physics teacher."
...
The Guangling Games have been over for several days now, and related discussions are gradually decreasing both online and offline.
Ji Zhixing had no classes that day, so he arrived at the library early in the morning, ready to study the application of the Navier-Stokes equations in the zero-gravity seat project.
He had previously read through all the papers on Navier-Stokes equations indexed by CNKI and found that the calculation methods and numerical simulations of six papers were quite consistent with the ideas of their project, especially the three papers that introduced the ship scenario.
Ji Zhixing felt that the undulations of a ship on the water's surface had many similarities to the changes in human movement while seated.
First, both involve the issue of pressure and reaction force; second, both exhibit fluctuating motion patterns.
Of course, the subjective nature of movement of ships and humans is completely opposite. Ships are passively undulating due to the waves on the water surface, while human movement is active, and the seat contact surface is the one that is passively undulating.
However, from a reverse perspective, it still has great research reference value.
Ji Zhixing opened the paper "Numerical Study of Flow Around Ship Hull Based on Reynolds Time-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations". This paper has 78 pages and mainly uses Reynolds time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations to numerically simulate the two-dimensional flow field of a parallel midbody of a ship and analyze the flow field variation law under different conditions.
"Research on ship hydrodynamic performance mainly includes wave-making resistance, frictional resistance, and viscosity-induced resistance performance..."
Yes, this is so similar to the combined kinetic energy of the human body acting on the seat. Ji Zhixing underlined this line heavily.
His eyes lit up when he saw the "watershed geometric model".
"When using ICEM for unstructured mesh generation, it is usually necessary to control the Y+ value of the boundary layer to be around 1. After calculation, the thickness of the first mesh layer is 0.0003m..."
Ji Zhixing pulled at his hair and began to ponder whether his original structural design should be changed.
Originally, he designed the seat by dividing the contact surface into 8 support zones with a total of 74 parameters based on the U-shaped concave shape that best conforms to the human body. Each zone and each parameter is inevitably closely related and mutually influential. If any parameter undergoes a slight change due to the pressure source, it will immediately lead to hundreds of millions of possible changes in other parameters, making the amount of calculation incredibly large.
However, if we divide the unstructured layers vertically, the computational patterns are almost identical due to the integrity of the boundary layers. Even if we expand outwards by ten or more layers at a ratio of 0.0001, the computational load can be reduced by at least half compared to the original!
After reading this paper, Ji Zhixing felt greatly inspired. "Oh dear! Why did I forget to bring my laptop today? Otherwise, I could have immediately verified it using CFD numerical simulation technology."
After hesitating for a while, he decided to continue reading the paper. Going back and forth would be too much of a waste of time. He would verify it when he got back to his dorm that night.
Before lunch, Ji Zhixing finished reading "Emergency Simulation and Visualization of Ships Encountering Storms in Navigation Simulation" and "Numerical Simulation of Waves Using the Navier-Stokes Equation". The nearly 200-page papers made him dizzy, but he was also very excited and reluctant to leave the library.
However, food is essential for life, and health is the foundation of everything; you can't go without eating. Ji Zhixing quickly finished his lunch in the cafeteria and returned to the library, where he spent the afternoon working on two more papers.
In his paper "A Preliminary Study on the Accurate Calculation Method of Coupling Transition Automatic Judgment in NS Equation Calculation", he learned how to use the eN-database transition judgment method to analyze the transition point location of the boundary layer. In his paper "Parallel Calculation of Three-Dimensional Low-Speed NS Equation", he gained insight into the convective partial differential equation of continuous wave surface undulation.
Today was a very fruitful day. After reading the paper and organizing his notes, Ji Zhixing immediately packed his things, eager to return to his dormitory to run the data test.
Meanwhile, the "betting" post on the forum was bumped up by two photos.
"I ran into Ji Zhixing at the library today. He was looking at papers. Look at the photos! A thick stack of papers!"
Since the sports meet, everyone's attitude towards Ji Zhixing has changed.
Previously, the comments were mostly expressions of envy and teasing towards the wealthy, as well as jeering at his audacity in challenging the academic elite.
However, his easy victory in the 3,000 meters and that amazing shot got everyone excited, naturally inspiring a sense of admiration for him.
The trending topic revealed that he could practically apply physics knowledge at the scene of a car accident to prove his innocence. This, coupled with his ingenious solutions in his math physics methods class, and insider posts about Ji Zhixing outperforming Fan Yongjie in lab classes, gradually cemented Ji Zhixing's image as a top student in the public eye.
The betting odds have gradually changed from "9:1 ratio" to "6:4 ratio".
"Why are they all using Navier-Stokes equations? Do physics sophomores have to work on this?"
"The second semester of sophomore year will cover some basic theoretical parts, but I think Ji Zhixing has expanded on practical applications."
"This must be related to their competition project."
"Isn't Fan Yongjie also going to participate in the competition?"
"This betting game is getting more and more interesting."
"Damn it! Did you guys hear? They've pulled another stunt!"
A terrifying message that affected everyone spread rapidly among the students, and Ji Zhixing was especially horrified!
A note from the author:
"Using the Reynolds time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations...the changing patterns."
"Research on ship hydrodynamic performance mainly includes wave-making resistance, frictional resistance, and viscosity-induced resistance performance..."
"Using ICEM... mesh thickness is 0.0003m..."
These three sentences are from "Numerical Study of Ship Hull Flow Based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations," Classification No.: U661.1; O357.5
