Black technology starts from the steel suit

Chapter 245

This year the entire scientific community was not very peaceful, or mainly the physics and theoretical chemistry circles were not very peaceful.

Although the aspect of applied chemistry, or lithium batteries, has brought about the greatest change in people's lives, it has little connection with scientists, because scientists are relatively nerdy creatures, and their needs are not the same as those of ordinary people. .

Compared with material enjoyment, what they want to see is that they have gone further on the road of understanding the world, and they hope to see a wider world.

Therefore, compared with breakthroughs in the field of lithium batteries, the field of wind power, and the field of power batteries, the electrochemical interface and the theory of decay acceleration are more attractive to them.

The electrochemical interface has uncovered the mystery of the microchemical field, making electrochemical reactions traceable; while the theory of decay acceleration allows people to see the possibility of artificially interfering with nuclear substances.

Prior to this, there was no way to intervene in nuclear reactions other than bombarding or hitting atomic nuclei with neutrons and charged particles. Although the decay is not as violent as fission, this is the real involvement of human beings in nuclear reactions. Among them, the significance here is extremely important.

And not to mention that mankind has opened up the era of using nuclear energy to store energy!

What is contained in it, even they feel amazing.

For example, Academician Zhu and Academician Liu.

"Hey, Lao Zhu, have you read this issue of the Annual Journal of Mathematics?" Academician Liu looked at his lucky friend while drinking the tea Wang Feng brought him, almost overflowing with envy.

"Annual of Mathematics, I am an electrical engineer, I subscribe to a few general mathematical journals, and learn about the development of mathematical tools. As a layman, I read some annuals of mathematics. Isn't this making myself uncomfortable? "Academician Zhu looked at this guy, always coming here to eat and drink, really... I can't say.

"Look at you, you don't care about major events in the scientific world at all, and you can't even eat the freshest melons, what a pity!"

Academician Liu looked at the old man in front of him, and then took another sip of tea: "You probably don't know yet, you give me half of the box of Liu'an melon slices that someone gave you last time, and I'll tell you How about, let you also eat a fresh melon."

"In order not to eat fresh food every time, and have no common language with everyone, it is estimated that no one will ask you to go to the square dance in the future."

"What melon, isn't my student proving the existence of the solution to Mr. Yang's equation? What else is there to say about it?" Academician Zhu said casually.

Although he didn't care about it on the surface, but the mouth was almost split to the back of his head. Academician Liu looked at the old guy who was still pretending to be garlic. Although he didn't say anything, he was probably happy in his heart.

"It's good if you know it. I thought you didn't know it. I didn't expect you to be so calm. You really deserve to be your old Zhu. You picked up this treasure back then!"

Thinking of this, Academician Liu felt aggrieved. If he recruited graduate students later, or if he was a little tired, he would recruit one more. Now he is the one who is embarrassed.

"What baby, he still has a lot to learn."

"Let's not talk about the far away. Although he has been published for him, it has only passed the peer review. Such a major discovery cannot be confirmed simply by a peer review. At the very least, seven or eight winners of General Fields must form a jury to conduct a review before it can be confirmed."

Although Lao Zhu is not a mathematics major, he is familiar with this set of procedures. After all, scientific research is similar.

"Lao Zhu, are you kidding?" Academician Liu's eyes widened: "Do you know what journal your apprentice is published in? If the "Annual Review of Mathematics" can't explain anything, then there probably won't be any convincing journal. ”

The four major journals in mathematics - Annals of Mathematics, Inventiones Mathematicae, Acta Mathematica and Journal Of The American Mathematical Society.

These are recognized as the four top mathematics annual journals. If you publish a paper in these journals, no matter which university you are in, you can't say the title of full professor, but the title of associate professor is still guaranteed.

If you look through the classification of mathematics journals in major universities, you will clearly see that these four types of journals are absolutely unique, and their authority is second to none.However, if you look through the four major journals, you will find that the author's nationality, China, appears less than 50 times.

It can almost be said that if you are lucky enough to have your name appear in these four major journals just as a collaborator, it is guaranteed that you will feel that your life has reached a climax and that your life has reached its peak.

Well, I'm singing, no, what am I talking about.Of course, in recent years, through the continuous efforts of domestic mathematicians, the number of articles published in these journals has continued to increase, but it is still a very proud thing to be able to publish articles in these journals.

However, journals in the field of mathematics, like those in the computer field, have very low impact factors.

Maybe it’s also because of the high-level and low-level. Most of the articles in mathematics are purely theoretical. These articles, let alone people outside the field, are also engaged in mathematics, but scholars in different directions may not be able to understand them, let alone use them. Until these theories have developed very eye-catching applications.

Therefore, in addition to the low impact factor of these mathematics journals, another feature is that the cited half-life of the article is very long, greater than 10 years.This is also because it takes a long time for other fields to digest these results and find their application value.

But the low impact factor does not mean that they are not important. On the contrary, mathematics is the cornerstone of the entire natural science research. The development and progress of many technologies depend on the progress and development of mathematics.

Without the support of mathematics, it is hard to imagine how quickly our scientific buildings will collapse.

Annals of Mathematics, founded in 1874, is the oldest journal among the four major journals. Joel E. Hendricks was originally the founding editor-in-chief.

The purpose of the founding journal is to introduce and analyze problems of social interest or importance in pure and applied mathematics, especially those interesting innovations and discoveries in astronomy, mechanics and engineering.

Ten years after it was founded, it was suspended due to Hendricks' personal health problems, but it continued to be published in March of the following year.Annals of Mathematics, which continued to be published, changed its editor-in-chief, and a few years later the journal was brought to its current location at Princeton.

An important period for the journal was 1928-1958, when Solomon Lefschetz was editor, trying to make it an increasingly famous and respected journal.In turn, the rise of the journal also stimulated American mathematics and greatly promoted the development of American mathematics.

At present, it is jointly published by Princeton University and its Institute for Advanced Study. It publishes a journal every two months, with no more than a hundred articles per year. Since 1998, this journal has published an electronic version for the first time. Fortunately, the electronic version was free at first, but the situation changed shortly after. In 2003, it was transferred to the non-free JSTOR archive, and the article was published 5 years later can be used for free.

This is indeed a pity, but it is not incomprehensible. After all, paying for knowledge is to protect our rights and interests.

Among the four major journals, the "Annual of Mathematics" can almost be re-launched. After all, it is the oldest and most influential mathematics publication. To the monastery in Princeton.

It is unique and has extraordinary influence, so anyone who has read a paper that has been published in this journal is basically equated with "correct". After all, the reviewer must at least be General Fields. Gainers generally rarely make mistakes.

"Why, the editor of "Annals of Mathematics" is no longer a human being, so he won't make mistakes. Old Liu, you have a big problem with your thinking. As a scientist, you don't even have the courage to question it. I'm very sorry. You are worried!" Academician Zhu flipped through the newspaper and said absently.

"That's all right, all right, I won't argue with you, me, I'd better go talk to that kid." Academician Liu felt that the old man was still the same as before: irritating!

"It's probably not easy for you to find it, so let's take a break and wait for him to come to you, or someone from the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study will take a photo."

"Why, if they can find it, I won't look for it. What kind of reason is there at this time?"

"That's not what it means, but he's busy now, can you understand me?" Academician Zhu looked at his old buddy: "Your temperament has not changed, so don't think about it, the original purpose of this equation ?”

"Also, after this equation explains the strong interaction force and electromagnetic force, do you have any guesses about what will happen next?"

"Think about the spent fuel processor, and think about why Director Lu went to find that kid in the first place. If you want to understand these things, you probably won't want to go to him."

"Ahem, ahem, it makes sense to say so!" Academician Liu thought for a while, and if this speculation goes on, this is still quite serious! ——
The two old men guessed right. He is indeed busy now and it is not convenient to receive visitors.

In fact, he not only proved the equation, but also produced his solution, but it is still in the verification stage, so it is not convenient to make it public.

Furthermore, what is contained in it has not been clarified yet, and no one knows what it means, so it is naturally impossible to make it public, at least not for a long time.

"Professor Wang, what do you think our world will be like if we use fourth-generation nuclear technology?" a student asked.

Because of the need for confidentiality, these doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows have become chatterboxes one by one, because these things can only be said to the people here, and they also need to be kept secret.

"Probably it will be wonderful, just like the archdruid freed us from hunger, we don't even know what it feels like to be hungry."

"I believe that in our future, the children will feel the same way. We will never be short of electricity again. No one knows what it feels like not to be able to turn on the air conditioner in the hot summer."

"Most energy-saving concepts will no longer be advocated, such as energy-saving certification marks such as the picture below will lose their usefulness. Not only electricity, water, fuel, paper towels, food, and even houses will lose their savings due to the rapid increase in productivity necessary."

"Great changes will take place in the energy structure of society. Oil, coal, natural gas, shale gas and other forms of energy will evolve into raw material resources and become raw materials for manufacturing rather than fuel (related plastics, chemical fibers, detergents, cosmetics and other products will be reduced in price).”

"Enterprises such as two barrels of oil will be forced to transform, but judging from the national wealth at that time, this will not be a big problem. Anyway, there are resources that can be adjusted. The direction that deserves more attention is the Middle East."

"Natural gas and heating will become decorations, and electricity will be used to provide heat. In the winter in the south, you can finally use more than a dozen sets of electric heaters with tens of thousands of watts to heat the house at the same time. The electricity consumed in a day is equivalent to the current electricity bill. Can easily exceed A daily wage for most people.”

"A more exaggerated approach to heating is to make the whole city warm like spring. Buried electric heating wires under the road surface, there will be no snow on the road after snowfall (some places in Japan use hot water to wash the road, but that uses geothermal springs).

"Places like Northeast China can also raise tropical fish outdoors in mid-winter. People in the north can enjoy the luxury of bathing in the open air like Japanese macaques. Many plants in the south can survive the winter safely in the north under the blowing of warm wind. People in Harbin can finally enjoy the luxury of taking a bath like Japanese macaques. People in Hainan are also worried about whether they will be killed by falling coconuts."

"The demand for superconducting technology has become more critical and urgent than ever. At that time, we will need to expand the size of the existing power grid by at least a hundred times. The size of household wires will jump from the current 4 square meters to 10 square meters or even higher. Replacing the 16A socket has become the mainstream."

"Industrial electricity such as three-phase electricity has also begun to enter ordinary households. It is conceivable that the pressure on power equipment will be huge at that time, and the ultra-high voltage transmission technology that China is proud of may not be able to cope with it. Because the current If it is too large, traditional utility poles using open wires will be limited in urban areas, and the wires may need to pass through underground spaces similar to subway tunnels."

"It was really a beautiful era, and people yearn for it!"

"No, why have you been acting supernaturally lately? Is it because you have been separated from your girlfriend for a long time and have endocrine disorders?" Wang Feng looked at this good seed with some worry: "If it is really impossible."

"No, Professor Wang, we have more important things to do than those things."
