Tech Hammer

On the other side, Ning Wei was led into the conference room by Director Sun.

In the medium-sized conference room, Kong Mingde sat at one end of a long conference table, flanked by professors and researchers who had just been summoned on both sides.

When Ning Wei walked into the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

It's not that Kong Mingde is impatient.

The key is that the biggest feature of the Internet age is that it can expand a small thing infinitely. This is contrary to the original intention of management to always hope to reduce big things to small things.

Discussions about Smith's paper on the Internet are now very enthusiastic, as are various analyzes of Smith.

It can be imagined that when Nature was released today, Jiangsu University students quickly denounced Fang Qiu and refuted Smith's paper, which was about to enter the public eye.

As a college, if we don’t fully understand the situation and what really went wrong, our response will be very passive.

Of course, Kong Mingde hoped that Ning Wei would complete this paper independently.

In this case, he would definitely not mind adding fuel to the already fiery Internet sentiment.

Looking around the world, there are only a handful of people who can develop nature at the undergraduate level, and most of them are concentrated in top universities.

As an undergraduate, not only did I publish Nature, but there was only one name after the author column, and Ning Wei was probably the first.

Based on these results alone, does Huazhong Science and Technology next door still have the nerve to compete with Jiangda for first place in Beihu?

…

"Classmate Ning, sit down and don't be nervous. You can think of today as a preview of your graduation thesis defense. But before this special defense, I still have to ask, are you sure that the paper published in Nature today is yours? Did you do it independently?"

"Yes, Dean Kong."

"good!"

Kong Mingde nodded towards Ning Wei, then glanced at the professors on both sides and made a gesture of invitation.

The style is very direct, of course because time cannot be wasted nowadays.

…

"Let me ask the first question first. How did you come up with the idea of ​​bringing the theory of quantum fields into solving equations?"

"Professor Report's problem starts with the reason why the NS equation has no solution so far. First of all, we all know that the NS equation itself is nonlinear, and the source of nonlinearity is the second term on the left of the equal sign of the equation. And for nonlinear partial differential equations , except for a few minimalist equations, the mathematical community has not yet found an effective and universal way to find analytical solutions. In addition, the NS equation itself is a second-order nonlinear system of equations, which makes it even more difficult to find a solution."

"Professor Smith's paper starts from the momentum equation. In mathematics, we generally use Euclidean description to describe fluid motion. The essence of control volume analysis under Euclidean description still lies in the conservation of flow..."

When Ning Wei talks eloquently in front of professors, when he talks about things that cannot be expressed in words, he will use an electronic pen to write the formulas directly on the tablet and project them onto the big screen in the conference room.

This kind of defense was very easy for Ning Wei. It was nothing more than reorganizing the knowledge points involved in writing this paper in his brain.

But for professors who are not in the PDE research field, there will actually be a lot of trouble when talking about in-depth topics.

Although NS equations are more about solving physical problems, mathematics is different from physics after all.

For example, in physics, the only meaning of the pressure field is to make the velocity field satisfy the incompressible condition, but in mathematics, the velocity field needs to be projected into a passive vector space.

The former will require given boundary conditions, while the latter will require analysis of universal principles.

So when it comes to going deeper, not even every professor and researcher on site can keep up with Ning Wei’s ideas.

Of course, for professors or researchers who study partial differential equations, they do not have this problem.

But this situation can easily turn what should be a serious defense into an academic discussion.

So after two hours of this special defense, it was no longer the professor who asked questions, but rather everyone was discussing the same issue from different angles. The formulas for writing and drawing on the projector were already rotating. How many pictures...

In fact, an hour ago, Kong Mingde was able to confirm that the paper in Nature was indeed completed independently by Ning Wei.

After all, there is no room for fraud in the academic defense process.

I was even more surprised by Yu Ningwei's solid foundation in number theory.

The higher-order equations and expansions that need to be used almost never go through the brain. Every time I write, there is no hesitation or thinking at all. I write it right away without any mistakes or omissions.

Is this what an undergraduate can achieve?

How did this guy maintain a low-key ranking of around 30 in his grade for four years of college?

The great master Qiu Shing-tung didn’t participate in the Mathematics Competition?

CMC actually only won the provincial second prize?

Now that the surprise has passed, he is completely numb. There is no doubt that he is a mathematical genius. He even wondered whether Ning Wei slept through it from his freshman year to his junior year...

Did you start working hard only in your senior year?

It’s numb! It’s numb!

But it was hard for him to interrupt the professors' rising enthusiasm, but this time was very awkward...

The special defense was called at short notice. Ning Wei only arrived at 5:20. Everyone had not eaten yet. It was already past 7 pm. If these people were allowed to continue the discussion, they could probably have breakfast directly.

"Ahem..."

Finally, another half hour passed, and while Ningwei had finished explaining a question, Kong Mingde coughed twice.

"Well, Professor Xu, that's almost it! I think, due to time constraints, this is the end of today's defense, right?"

"Wait. Last question." Professor Xu glanced at Kong Mingde, very embarrassed.

"Then...okay." Kong Mingde nodded.

The dean must also respect the outstanding second-level professors in the school who are still strong contenders for the next academician selection.

"Ningwei, I heard that you intend to keep this school as a graduate student? Don't bother, why not just become my direct Ph.D. student? You can choose your research direction." Professor Xu said with an upright face.

"Bah... Lao Xu, please show some face."

"This is a temporary thesis defense, not for you to accept students!"

"Be a human being! What is the occasion today?"

…

Upon hearing this shameless question, several professors immediately started making noises.

If you would rather have only one nature article, in fact, even if everyone is happy about it, it won’t be like this.

But the two-hour defense just now allowed these professors to see Ning Wei's solid mathematical foundation, quick thinking and rare mathematical accomplishment. This is the most important thing.

Relatively speaking, that nature article is no longer the most important. Compared with Ning Wei's performance just now, it is just a cloud.

You already have this ability at the undergraduate level, and the professors here dare not imagine how high it can reach in the future.

If such a child can be admitted to his school, it is really not a matter of publishing a few nature articles. Who doesn’t want one of his students to be an academician of the Academy of Sciences in the future?

When I got old or retired, I met my old colleagues and walked around, and suddenly I said: "Hey, you don't know yet? I have a student who has decided to be an academician. He is not yet 40 years old. Oh. Hehehe, this kid is so lucky. In a few days, he will come to Jiangcheng to treat me to dinner, so come together."

Hey, just thinking about it makes me feel so beautiful!
