Chapter 113: No, it's not enough
Originally, they were able to accept the hire and come to this project with a salary of only 1,000 per month - yes, since Li Mu hired them, of course they also need to be paid.
Only 1000 a month, mainly because he doesn't often come to the lab with them.
The role of doing experiments for his subject is more of a verification of the results, and the main research method is still on paper, through mathematical and physical methods.
But his approach to research is based on his strong mathematical abilities.
As he once said, mathematics can be used to explain everything.
Whether it's physics or chemistry.
He believed that as long as he found the unknown quantity and determined the current known conditions, the answer he wanted to find would eventually be revealed by mathematical derivation.
It's just that his way of thinking is not something that other people can understand.
These three postdocs were willing to participate in the project for no other reason, just to see how Li Mu, a mathematical genius, suddenly started to study chemistry.
Maybe they can use their experience to guide this mathematical genius.
And now, they just feel like they've fallen into the pit.
It's a subject that they simply don't understand.
Their experience clearly tells them that chemistry is an experimental science, and all results need to be revealed in experiments.
Li Mu's research method is completely heretical!
In ancient times, it was Hippasus, who proposed irrational numbers, to be thrown into the sea.
They wanted to cry for a while.
Wu Mengyuan, who was next to him, saw the expressions of the three postdocs and said that he couldn't help.
Because he didn't know how Li Mu was going to study it.
As for Professor Cao Sheng, the expression on his face has not changed, because he should have been surprised before.
Before he came, Wu Mengyuan introduced him to Li Mu's project.
In this regard, his evaluation is: imaginative.
So, like the three postdocs, he got involved with curiosity.
He looked at Li Mu with interest, wondering what this mathematical genius who was engaged in cross-field research would do next.
And Li Mu didn't have any nonsense.
First of all, I came to the blackboard in front of me.
"The purpose of our experiment today is mainly to verify the similarity between the computational chemistry model I established and the experiment."
Then he started writing on the blackboard.
A model that looks more complex is gradually revealed.
The three postdocs were stunned again.
What?
And even computational chemistry?
Dare to ask Your Excellency where is sacred?
How dare you even touch computational chemistry?
In their graduate studies, they have more or less heard their supervisors complain about computational chemistry, saying that this thing does not help the experiment at all, and the deviation is simply outrageous.
Sometimes, though, this thing can be a little helpful, but ......
Their preconceived impressions make them not believe a little.
And Cao Sheng also raised his eyebrows, and said to Wu Mengyuan next to him: "It's worthy of being a mathematical genius, this is really ...... Courageous. ”
Wu Mengyuan shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.
In this way, Li Mu quickly wrote out this model.
"Okay, let's start the experiment and verify this model first."
At this time, a postdoctoral fellow finally couldn't help but raise his hand and asked: "That, Boss Li, in our chemistry, the credibility of computational chemistry is generally not too high......"
Li Mu smiled: "I know, but you can't deny that there is an application of computational chemistry in the chemistry sub-journals of nature and science, or in many chemistry papers in JACS. ”
The postdoc stopped talking.
But he complained wildly in his heart that the kind of computational chemistry results that can be on the top journal are all made by top computational chemistry experts.
Is this something we can compare?
Although you Li Mu is a big man in mathematics, how long have you only studied chemistry, and how far can you study computational chemistry?
When you come up, you think of the level of the top magazine?
The final result of this project, if it can really be published in the top journal, he will directly eat this experimental table, and by the way, he will dry a glass of all kinds of reagents in the cabinet over there to eliminate his appetite.
Li Mu didn't care what they thought in their hearts, but said, "Let's try it first." ”
Try it, just give it a try.
Three postdocs gave up struggling.
Anyway, they are only here to do the experiment, and it has nothing to do with them whether the project fails or not, after all, the results will not be signed by them.
Subsequently, the three postdocs began to operate at the request of Li Mu.
After several commands, the three postdocs were also surprised.
At least Li Mu is worthy of recognition at the theoretical level and cannot be underestimated.
Even when one of them had a little problem with the operation, Li Mu reminded him in time.
This made them even more confident in being a postdoc in chemistry.
And Cao Sheng also nodded slightly, of course he would not do the experiment himself, but was only responsible for controlling the safety of the entire experimental process.
Li Mu's command also shows that he has a solid basic knowledge.
It's just a pity, it's a little too ...... Bold.
Cao Sheng felt a little pity.
Li Mu didn't care what they thought, just watched the operation of the three postdocs, and at the same time absorbed relevant experience.
In this project, he learned how to operate the experimental equipment, and by the next time, he would be able to conduct the experiment on his own.
And just like that, the experiment went on as normal.
And Wu Mengyuan on the side is not without something to do.
He simulated Li Mu's computational chemistry model on the computer, and later compared the experimental results with the results of the computer simulation to determine the credibility of the computational chemistry model.
The time passed quickly, half an hour later.
The results of the first experiment were calculated, and then they were compared with the simulation results.
Then, the three postdocs were shocked on the spot.
"The similarity between the simulated and experimental results is ...... Fifty percent?! ”
Fifty percent!
The three chemistry postdocs rubbed their eyes, feeling a little incredulous.
Are you sure you're not looking at one more zero?
However, no matter how many times they look at it, it is true, and the similarity is 50 percent!
Can such similarity still be said to be implausible?
They didn't believe it anymore.
Fifty percent similarity is an astonishing result for any computational chemistry model.
And before, they were still questioning Li Mu?
They just want to give themselves a slap in the face.
And Professor Cao Sheng, who has been on the edge of ob, can't hold back at this time.
Fifty percent similarity?
"Old Wu, are you sure you're not lying to me? Do you call this your first study of chemistry? ”
"Damn, how do I know?" Wu Mengyuan shouted grievances.
Why does he keep encountering this kind of thing?
He never knew!
"That's what this kid told me at the beginning, and it's the first time he's studied computational chemistry."
"Can this be called the first study of computational chemistry?"
Cao Sheng hasn't seen anything in any situation?
He really hasn't seen this before.
However, when they all turned their eyes to Li Mu.
Li Mu just frowned, "It's only fifty percent similarity, this can't be done......"
Others: ???
