Chapter 186: Academic Seminar
Shen Yiyi, standing on the podium, has a calmness and ability that his peers do not have. Only when you see Shen Yiyi's image with your own eyes can you understand what President Li just said about the so-called big surprise. The image of this beautiful and calm girl in front of him also made it impossible for the experts to connect with the image of the author they imagined when they read those two earth-shattering papers. Isn't such a girl supposed to write some emotional sketches that are sad and sad, instead of writing such logical, profound, and difficult academic papers?
It can be said that the emergence of Shen Yiyi has completely broken the long-standing cognition and understanding of academic young talents in the domestic academic circles. She is a miracle of a new era.
The happiest person among the guests was Mayor Yang. Putting aside any factors related to her own vital interests, purely from her own likes and dislikes, the fact that Shen Yiyi is a girl makes her the happiest the most. She herself became the deputy mayor of a provincial capital city at a young age because of the light talent of an "ignorant girl", but as far as her perception is concerned, she believes that the value of women has been ignored in society for a long time. Although the government has deliberately set aside quotas for female cadres, it is ironic that it is precisely this move that highlights the status of women in society below that of men. Because, only the weak need special care from society.
Mayor Yang is actually a feminist subconsciously. She would love to see women's social achievements and social status on par with men's. It's a pity that this wish of hers has always seemed to be an extravagant hope. But today, when she saw with her own eyes that this classmate Shen Yiyi, who made the presidents and professors of major universities so happy, was actually a woman, she immediately felt that her long-standing wish had finally found an object of sustenance. She also faintly regretted that when she received the task of receiving the "inspection team", she didn't take the time to understand the background of this classmate Shen Yiyi. Or should it be said that the information she pays attention to is mainly what kind of breakthrough Shen Yiyi has made in his studies, and how he is a newcomer with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty, but what she missed is that everyone will fill in each information form. But there's one piece of information that she doesn't pay particular attention to: gender.
If he had known that Shen Yiyi was a girl earlier, then Mayor Yang would have used all the resources and relationships at hand to strengthen Shen Yiyi, and would never let Shen Yiyi have the slightest stage fright or poor performance. is to make it up, and she also wants to make Shen Yiyi a goddess prodigy. It's a pity that she realized a little late. There's really no way to help her cheat now, oh no, it's the assault that has increased.
Mayor Yang, who had both hope and worry about Shen Yiyi's performance, still said to Shen Yiyi very kindly: "Yiyi classmate, don't be nervous, you can just tell us about your understanding of fluid flow, anyway, our experts are just coming to see the popularization of this kind of scientific knowledge in our basic education in Shenyang, and we will not have too high expectations." β
Mayor Yang vaguely knew that the purpose of organizing such a large delegation this time was to understand the two articles that Shen Yiyi had published before. And it seems to be in fluid mechanics.
With a background in engineering, she actually knows that fluid mechanics is one of the nightmares for any college student. Moreover, fluid mechanics is one of the most complex and difficult disciplines in continuum mechanics for many years. Almost every one of the seven systems of equations that are the basis of fluid mechanics is either nonlinear in time, geometrically, or loading, and it is almost impossible to answer with an analytical solution. And if someone can publish a paper that has caused so many big experts in China to go out collectively, then the level of this paper must be better than most people in this era expect. Her attitude towards the fact that Shen Yiyi is indeed the author of such a paper. Now it can actually be summed up in one word, that is, "expectation and fear of being hurt". However, for the sake of Shen Yiyi's face and mental health, Mayor Yang cleverly changed the concept, and simply changed the purpose of the experts' visit to the investigation of the degree of fluid mechanics in Shenyang's basic education on the table. In this way, it has significantly reduced the difficulty of Shen Yiyi's speech later.
When she said this, she immediately caught the attention of the group of experts. And they said to themselves, What is the matter? Isn't it clear to everyone in their hearts? The main purpose of this visit is actually to inspect Shen Yiyi's academic level, and for this reason, each university has its own tricks. Didn't Mayor Yang personally present when the robbery battle was staged outside just now? Why did such a sentence come out now?
I have the heart to argue with Mayor Yang. But Shen Yiyi on the stage had already started to speak at the signal of President Li.
"Xie Lu, Mayor Xie Yang's encouragement. Leaders and experts, first of all, on behalf of Shenyang No. 11 Middle School, please allow me to warmly welcome you to visit our school. According to the tasks assigned by the school, I would like to make a special speech on some of our discoveries in the popular science activities of fluid mechanics. Please be correct, experts. β
After Shen Yiyi spoke, Mayor Yang's heart was a little settled. She found that this little girl did not have the stage fright of ordinary girls at all. On the contrary, the opening line of the scene was well-spoken and polite. Mayor Yang secretly felt that this girl was indeed different from other girls. Perhaps, she can really surprise herself.
Shen Yiyi used the ears that were calloused in later generations, and after searching for a large piece of empty words and clichΓ©s on the Internet for a few minutes, she began to cut to the point, and gave a speech on the topic that the experts present were very concerned about, that is, her two papers.
"First of all, I want to say hello to the experts, if the special lecture is understood in English, that is, lecture, but I don't think I have the qualifications to give a lecture to the experts, so I want to give today's lecture in the form of a seminar, Chinese is an academic seminar. I hope to be able to exchange and discuss academic topics with experts. β
Except for some experts who are somewhat lacking in foreign languages, the experts present are all experts in the academic field. And there is no one in the Chinese academic community who does not follow the results of Western research. Therefore, as soon as Shen Yiyi said the words lecture and seminar, he immediately shocked a large number of experts, including President Weng and Dean Tan.
Academician Weng looked at Dean Tan. Both of them have the experience of studying abroad, so language is no problem for both of them, and even these two words have some special memories for them. Academician Weng said to Dean Tan: "Xiao Tan, it seems that this Shen Yiyi is really interesting." β
Dean Tan nodded. He actually thought to himself that even if Shen Yiyi didn't say this, then this special lecture would definitely become a seminar in the future. Because the experts here will definitely pay special attention to the content of Shen Yiyi's speech, once they find that she has any omissions, the experts here will not be polite to her, and will casually criticize her. Today's lecture can actually be described as Shen Yiyi's graduation thesis defense. Once she passes, then every big bull here is looking forward to being able to take her under her command and become her own disciple.
After Shen Yiyi and everyone present agreed on the format of today's lecture, he started today's speech in a homely way.
"It all started with one of my extracurricular experiments. I've been wondering if there's a way to hand-build an improvised flying machine that you can carry with you at all times, but that will take me into the blue sky when you need it. β
"Perhaps the intuitive reaction of someone is that this is not possible. Because more than a hundred years after the Wright brothers invented the airplane, our airplanes have never had a record of being able to carry them with us. So empiricists will say that this is not the way out. β
"But aren't our scientific discoveries just the ones that happened from what we thought were impossible? A huge mistake made by historical empiricists is that they ignore that what has now been achieved in human materials science is enough to make the impossible possible. β
Shen Yiyi brought some private goods one by one, and first of all, he must shape himself as a talent who has the courage to innovate and knows how to innovate. If she wants to make herself a sought-after item that everyone is competing for, then she has to start packaging herself. Sure enough, many experts have been moved by her remarks. They seem to recall that when they were just starting out, they seemed to be like Shen Yiyi, who was full of enthusiasm for the unknown world, and always took it as their responsibility to explore the unknown and discover new knowledge. It's just that I don't know when it started, maybe it was the setbacks in the work on the road of scientific research that made me lose the sharpness I had at the beginning. Now seeing a young classmate like Shen Yiyi, it just reminds everyone of their own time, and they can't help but feel a little more good about Shen Yiyi.

"Coincidentally, just as I was looking up information for this creative goal of my own, I discovered that paramotor has long been used in the sports world in the West. And this equipment happens to have exactly what I wanted to achieve. So, I decided to study paramotor. β
"The formulas in the two papers that everyone is concerned about were actually born in the process of racking my brains for the design of the paramotor. Just as I was trying to find some calculation tools in order to make my wing have a lower take-off speed and better handling stability, I found that the existing formulas were not accurate enough, and the cost of discretization calculations was too high. Finding a formula that was both accurate enough and at the same time as simple as possible was a natural choice. (To be continued......)
