"Hello Professor Xu!"

"Hello Professor Xu!"

early morning

On the way back to school, Xu Mang met a lot of students, basically the same as usual, spending time in smiles and nods, so... Xu Mang found that he seemed to have cervical spondylosis recently, and he was very sore in the morning.

Passing by a fruit shop on campus, I suddenly stopped and carefully looked at the current fruit price, or... Buy some cheap fruits and give them to Director Liu Guofang of the Department of Materials, so that he can help him find a relationship and pull into the relationship with the Metamaterials Research Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences.

Wrong!

Director Liu seems... If you can't eat the fruit you bought for him, it will end up in your stomach.

Long

Xu Mang, who was carrying Xue Ding's basket of Xu Guoguo, stood at the door of the office of Director Liu Guorong of the Department of Materials, and tidied up his outfit, after all, he can't seem to be too sloppy when he entrusts people to do things, and politeness must be in place, otherwise people will feel that they are not sincere enough.

Sincerity?

Xu Mang suddenly thought that his behavior was very stupid, what is sincerity? This basket full of high-grade fruits, is it good enough to reflect his sincerity? This sincerity is almost full.

Bang bang bang!

After a please,

Xu Mang pushed the door in and asked with a smile, "Director Liu... It's been a long time since I've come to see you, and today I'm coming to see you with a fruit basket. You started dealing with things early in the morning, no wonder our materials students at Fuzhou University graduated so strongly. ”

"With such a dedicated department head, this student is almost anywhere. Xu Mang smiled and said, "What... The doctor said that eating an apple in the morning is good for the body, is Director Liu interested in coming to wake up in the morning?"

He's coming!

He came with his full sincerity!

Liu Guofang looked at Xu Mang carrying the fruit basket, and knew that something big would happen next, and then asked, "I said Xu Mang... You... Why are you suddenly carrying a fruit basket for something? Is something happening again?"

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

"You're right. Xu Mang smiled and said, "I want you to help me contact the person in charge of the metamaterials research laboratory, I need their help." ”

“...”

"Metamaterials Research Laboratory?" Liu Guofang asked curiously, "Don't say it... An old classmate of mine works there, can I get in touch with you, are you in trouble?"

Xu Mang nodded and said seriously: "I want to repeat the routine of the material database, use this mature mechanism, make a breakthrough in metamaterials, and let artificial intelligence enter this field to complete things that we humans can't do." ”

Hearing Xu Mang's explanation, Liu Guofang frowned and said solemnly: "Xu Mang... It's not that I hit you, metamaterials and ordinary materials are not used, metamaterials are too wide-ranging, electronic engineering, condensed matter physics, microwaves, optoelectronics, classical optics, materials science, semiconductor science... Do you know how much time it takes?"

Obviously,

Liu Guofang thinks that Xu Mang is joking, it is absolutely impossible to realize the database of metamaterials, let alone let artificial intelligence join it to achieve the same function as the material database, which is just a beautiful idea.

First of all

The biggest difference between metamaterials and traditional materials is that metamaterials are composite materials with artificially designed structures and exhibit extraordinary physical properties that natural materials do not have, so the design of metamaterials must be bold.

Through the design of a variety of physical structures to break through the limitations of certain apparent natural laws, so as to obtain extraordinary material functions.

Daring!

Must be bold!

Of course, boldness must be careful at the same time, and must not violate the basic laws of physics, and there are many such laws, after all, metamaterials are an interdisciplinary subject.

So far

Liu Guofang felt that Xu Mang's idea was a little... It's too far ahead of its time, and to put it badly is to be overconfident.

In the face of doubts,

Xu Mang just smiled, when he had just received this revelation, he didn't feel that there was any problem, but with continuous in-depth research, he found that he was too young and thought about a problem too simply, which was not only difficult, but also self-defeating.

If you want to build a metamaterial database, you first need to design the entire framework, and this framework contains almost all physical domains, just this problem... It's enough to make people die.

Not to mention follow-up questions.

"Actually..."

"I'm not very confident in myself either. Xu Mang put down his fruit basket and said helplessly: "But someone must do such a thing, I have taken a look at the international research process on metamaterials." ”

"The United States has long launched a research program on metamaterials, and several of the largest companies in the United States, such as Intel, AMD and IBM, have also set up joint funds to fund research in this area, and the U.S. defense agency has listed metamaterials as one of the six disruptive basic research areas. ”

"In Europe... The European Union has organized nearly 100 top scientists in related fields to jointly study this metamaterial, and has given very high financial support. ”

Xu Mang paused, and then continued: "Although we are a lot behind, so much that we can't see the distance clearly, but we have the world's top quantum computer, as long as we establish a database, through artificial intelligence, with the superior performance of quantum computers, catching up with the United States is not a slogan, but an action." ”

Not to mention,

Director Liu Guofang was impressed by this grand plan, and a blueprint for the future appeared in front of him, which made him breathless.

"I'll put you in touch. Liu Guofang said: "Xu Mang... Is this plan a high success rate?"

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

"It's low... But it's worth a try. Xu Mang said with a smile: "Once successful... Die without regrets!"

Words fall,

Xu Mang lifted his fruit basket, got up and said to Liu Guofang: "Director Liu, I'm leaving... This matter has to trouble you to have a snack, after all, it is a big thing for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Liu Guofang: ???

Alas?

This... That's it?

This took away the fruit basket that was given to me?

"Xu Mang?"

"You... Can you bear to take the fruit basket away?" Liu Guofang said helplessly: "Isn't it for me?"

"Huh?"

Xu Mang was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Director Liu... Do you know that I am already engaged, and the evil lady in my family is very bad to me, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't give me food, I come to sweep the floor and do the laundry, these days... My biggest dream is to eat apples. ”

“...”

"Let's go!"

"Okay!"

Looking at the back of Xu Mang's departure, Liu Guofang sighed, picked up his mobile phone and flipped through the number, and then called with a landline.

It's done!

"Hello?"

"Lao He?"

"What have you been doing lately?" asked Liu Guofang with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Lao Liu?" The other party was quite surprised to receive Liu Guofang's call, but it was an unexpected surprise, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to call me, what have you been doing lately... It's still the same as it was, but lately we've been in big trouble in our lab, and everyone is in pain. ”

Big trouble?

All of them?

Hearing the news, Liu Guofang was stunned and asked curiously, "What's the trouble?"

"Ugh..."

"A structural problem of a material. Lao He smiled bitterly.

Then

Liu Guofang said cautiously: "Lao He... Have you ever looked for someone surnamed Xu? I think China can solve your problem... Only the one surnamed Xu, I don't think your lab has looked for him, right? Otherwise, this problem would have been solved a long time ago. ”

The surname Xu?

Facing Liu Guofang's words, Lao He was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Lao Liu, you said that this surname is Xu, is it Professor Xu Mang of your school?"

"Yes!"

"In the school here, there is a saying that if you have a problem, look for Xu Mang. Liu Guofang said with a smile: "Materials, physics, mathematics, computers, etc., as long as there are unsolvable problems in these fields, they will think of Professor Xu Mang." ”

“...”

"Lao Liu!"

"Don't mythologize a person infinitely. Lao He said seriously: "The field of metamaterials... There are too many aspects involved, I don't think that Professor Xu Mang can solve the problems we encounter, rather than adding to his troubles, it is better for us to carry it ourselves. ”

In fact

Liu Guofang's friend Lao He is also thinking about Xu Mang, he knows Xu Mang, and the whole world knows that it is better to let such a powerful scientist solve problems that cannot be solved, so that he can continue to shine in the field of physics.

"Give it a try!"

"Take a sentence from Professor Xu Mang of our school, how can you know if you don't try?" Liu Guofang smiled: "I'll give you his contact information, you can talk to him yourself, maybe it can be solved in two days, give it a try!"

These two days...

Lao Liu, Lao Liu, really regards Xu Mang as an omnipotent immortal.

But

Lao He still wrote down Xu Mang's contact number.

After hanging up,

Lao He sat in his office, looking at this string of numbers, and was a little confused for a while, should he call this number?

Bang bang bang,

There was a knock at the door,

A middle-aged man walked in and said to Lao He, "Lao He... It's a meeting!"

"Good!"

...

conference room

Lao He sat in the audience, listening to the words of Professor Lu Jianping, the head of the metamaterials laboratory on the stage, which was actually the original content, discussing how to solve the current problems encountered in the laboratory, which was discussed for the fourth time.

The first three times were unsuccessful, and everyone didn't have any ideas at all, but this time... Lao He felt that he would repeat the mistakes of the past.

Half an hour passed,

The result of the discussion is still nothing, after all, this issue has upended everyone's perception.

Then

Lao He took out a string of numbers that he had written down, and suddenly at this moment, Lao He made a decision, maybe he could really let Professor Xu Mang of Fuda try it, in case... What if it succeeds?

"Ahem!"

"Everyone... I have an offer. Lao He suddenly said: "We can find Professor Xu Mang of Fuda and ask him to help us solve this current difficulty." ”
