Chapter 172: Laboratory Cooperation
Regarding the question of Professor Wyles' itinerary, when Junxin had previously discussed it with other professors at the exchange meeting, he had heard Professor Ry-Beckett, a close friend of Professor Wyles, and also heard Professor Richard Feverman, who invited him to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Professor Wiles came to work at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1982 and did not return to Trinity College, Cambridge until about 2010, 30 years later. In addition, Professor Wiles has been secretly researching the proof of Fermat's theorem for seven years since he spoke with Professor Ry-Beckett about the connection between Taniyama and Shimura conjectures, during which time almost no results have been published. This is Princeton, and in any other place, I am afraid it is impossible to provide him with such preferential treatment.
"Alright, Professor, let's stop talking about that. Let's get down to business! Putting away his messy thoughts, Junxin said with a smile.
"No problem, Jun!" Professor Unger couldn't ask for it. Then he began to talk to Junxin about the various problems he encountered in the experiment.
Jun Xin listened very carefully, interrupting Professor Wenger's speech from time to time, asking more detailed questions about certain issues that he had not articulated clearly. After some conversation, two or three hours passed like this.
The complexity of chemical experiments lies in the fact that the study of chemical problems often requires the assistance of experiments, which in many cases not only stop at the final data, but also include the phenomena that occur during the experiment and some other detailed adjustments. So after the two finished talking, Professor Weng Ge took the initiative to invite Junxin to come to the laboratory again, called a doctoral student who was doing experiments with him, and began to demonstrate his experimental process from beginning to end.
Junxin looked very carefully, paid great attention to every detail, and Professor Weng Ge explained from time to time, and quickly figured out the whole experimental process and the role of various instruments and equipment.
In less than an hour, this experienced doctoral student had completed all the experimental operations, and then handed over the results to Professor Wenge, who had been standing next to him and paying attention to the whole process, and did not leave, but stood behind Professor Wenge very consciously, obviously preparing to listen to the conversation between Junxin and Professor Wenge.
Junxin didn't care, but casually took the pen and paper on the test table and began to calculate.
The data is not complicated, coupled with the data provided by Professor Weng Ge above, Junxin quickly completed the whole process of calculation, and naturally came to the same conclusion as Professor Wenge.
"What do you think is the reason?" Professor Onger asked, rubbing his chin.
Junxin thought about it, and seemed to have seen the description of this problem in an article he had seen before, and then compared it with this result, and soon found the problem. Then, not to be polite, he had a detailed discussion with Professor Wenger about his protocol, and in less than three hours, a new protocol was freshly baked in the presence of the doctoral student named Steve.
"Well, thank you so much for today, Jun! You saved us a lot of time. Professor Wenger said gratefully.
"You're so polite, Professor." Junxin said very self-awarely, "Your experimental protocol is very complete, I just added some ideas of my own to your experimental protocol." ”
"I have to say that your idea will completely change the direction of my experiment, thank you a lot." Professor Wenger said excitedly.
Junxin shook his head and said: "It still depends on the direction of the experiment and the final experimental results, so as to show whether the adjustment results are really effective." Not to mention that, Professor, this model you built is very interesting, how did you come up with it? Junxin was not interested in Professor Wenger's praise, but on the contrary, he was very interested in the model that Professor Wenge used to guide the experiments.
"This is a model that I worked with Claude, but it's a collaboration, and in the end, it's actually a model based on the ideas that Claude provided."
Jun Xin suddenly said: "I said how can there be so many traces of physical chemistry here, it turned out to be Professor Claude's idea, then it's no wonder." ”
"After I worked with Professor Claude on this project, he invited me to visit his lab several times, and I invited him to come a few times. Later, as soon as everyone summed up, many of the research directions of our two laboratories were complementary, and a cooperation mechanism of the laboratories was established. Now I have a cooperative relationship with his laboratory, and this is the first project after the cooperation between our two laboratories, so the requirements are relatively high, the time is relatively tight, and the pressure is relatively high. Although it will take us some time to solve these problems, we still invite you to solve them, and for this reason. ”
Jun suddenly thought of a possibility, but before he could say anything, Professor Unger interrupted him and invited him to dinner.
It had been five or six hours since nine o'clock in the morning, and I didn't feel it when we were discussing, but now that I heard Professor Wenge mention this, Jun Xin felt a little hungry. So he didn't refuse, after all, the professor ate much better than going to the cafeteria to eat, and Junxin naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to refuse. So the two of them followed Professor Unger to the place where he often ate.
Europe and America don't pay attention to the saying that food is silent when eating, so Junxin also took this opportunity to introduce his idea to Professor Wenger.
"You mean you also have a lab that specializes in quasicrystals? Department of Chemistry at Shuimu University in China? And ready for the final assembly? ”
"Yes, Professor!" Junxin said with a smile, "However, there are only two associate professors in charge of the daily work of my laboratory, and it will not be completed until the end of this year, so it will not be officially put into normal operation until the end of this year." Junxin began to introduce his laboratory to Professor Unger.
Professor Weng Ge listened very carefully, and he could vaguely feel what Jun Xin meant, so he was naturally very concerned.
“… What I mean by this is to establish a strategic relationship, where you and Professor Claude are in a laboratory relationship, because you and his lab complement each other and can have a public partnership. However, although my laboratory is also a little different from your laboratory, it is more because our laboratory is different in the study of detailed problems, so it is possible to establish a joint laboratory, what do you think of this? ”
