Chapter 103 What does ‘it’s normal not to understand data?’(1/3)
Xihai City.
A sturdy middle-aged man with a heavy back and a heavy back was walking along the street. Looking from the front, he looked quite majestic with stern eyebrows. He was Peng Hui, the chief researcher of the Metal Laboratory of Xijing Jiaotong University.
Peng Hui answered the phone with a high-pitched voice, "I remember this is here."
"You Xiazhuangzhou, are you still worried that I can't find the way?"
"Don't worry about it. I know your family and will be there soon. Just prepare the food."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone neatly, took another careful look at the street, and then asked a little doubtfully, "Xiaofang, look carefully, is this Huasheng Street? I was here more than ten years ago.
, the changes have been too great.”
Xiaofang, whose name is Shi Guifang, is in her early thirties, has braids, and looks smart.
Shi Guifang came with Peng Hui. She looked around helplessly, looking for street signs carefully, and couldn't help complaining, "Professor Peng, how nice would you ask Professor Xia to post the location? You can also post the name of the community."
.What era is it now? More than ten years have passed, and everything has changed a lot."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Peng Hui was a little embarrassed and interrupted impatiently, "You can just look at it if you want, and you can talk so much."
Shi Guifang suddenly stopped talking.
The two continued walking about a hundred meters and finally found a sign at an intersection, which showed Huasheng Road, so they hurriedly walked in the direction indicated.
Peng Hui continued to walk forward, and finally felt familiar. He took the lead and walked forward with great momentum, "Follow me, I know you this time."
Because they had a clear destination, they felt much more relaxed while walking.
Shi Guifang talked about the purpose of the meeting, "Professor Peng, can this person recommended by Professor Xia really do it? With so much data, he is doing pure mathematics research, and you have seen the news, right? He has done this project,
He was dismissed from Donggang University because of data problems. Although Donggang University has restarted the investigation, the specific results have not yet come out."
"He must have been pushed out as a scapegoat!"
Peng Hui concluded, "When I first read the news, I knew it had nothing to do with him. I don't know what specific work he is responsible for, but I know Chen Jianlin very well."
"Chen Jianlin, how does he do projects? He is the kind of person who does everything by himself. If he works on a project seriously, how could he make such a low-level mistake?"
"This person only believes in himself, and it's the same when doing projects. Even if he leads a team to do it, he has to check every data one by one."
Shi Guifang opened her mouth in surprise, "Can you do it?"
"You have to do it even if you can't do it! Think about it, if he wasn't serious, would he be able to do it now?"
Peng Hui shook his head and said, "So, there is a data problem with this project, which means that Chen Jianlin must not have done it seriously, and there may not be anything going on in it!"
As he was talking, he saw a corner and looked inside. It was the main entrance of an old community. He immediately said happily, "This is it. It has been more than ten years and it is still the same. There is no change at all."
Peng Hui walked over immediately.
Shi Guifang quickly followed. They found a unit in the second building, walked in and climbed to the fifth floor in one breath.
Peng Hui is really physically strong.
After walking for such a long time, I was only slightly out of breath after climbing the fifth floor.
Shi Guifang was younger, but obviously not in good physical condition. She persisted in climbing to the fifth floor without wanting to talk. She stood aside holding her belly, regretting following Peng Hui.
Fortunately, the door to the next door opened.
Xia Guobin welcomed the two of them in with joy, and said to Peng Hui, "Okay, you can find it even if you haven't been here for more than ten years. I didn't even send you my address."
Peng Hui said with some pride, "Of course, what about my memory? I got off the bus and walked over for ten minutes."
Shi Guifang rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Wang Hao was sitting in the living room. When he saw the two people entering, he came over to say hello.
Xia Guobin immediately introduced him, "Let me introduce to you, this is Professor Wang Hao."
"This is my old classmate, Professor Peng Hui. It's different after being a soldier." He patted Peng Hui on the arm, "Look, he still has such momentum at his age."
Peng Hui quickly shook hands with Wang Hao.
After a few polite exchanges, they sat on the sofa.
Peng Hui praised Wang Hao's youth several times and compared it with Shi Guifang, who came with him. "Xiaofang is also a doctor and an associate professor, but compared with Wang Hao, she is far behind."
I don’t know whether this difference refers to academics or age. Shi Guifang felt the urge to beat someone up. Especially when she looked at Wang Hao’s young face, she took a closer look at herself...
She felt that Peng Hui brought her here just to be a foil and to show off Wang Hao's excellence.
Wang Hao quickly changed the topic.
Next, Peng Hui talked about the research on Artyn's constant and Mersenne prime numbers. After a lot of praise, he said, "I really didn't expect that the most popular genius in the Chinese mathematics community in recent times is actually a mathematician."
Experts in data mining.”
"You are ridiculous."
Faced with the constant compliments from an old professor, Wang Hao felt a little lighthearted. Everyone likes to hear good things, and it feels really good to be complimented continuously.
But Wang Hao still knew the purpose of the meeting, and quickly brought the topic to the metal laboratory's 'super compressive alloy material' project.
Peng Hui suddenly became more serious, "Our project is making good progress, and we have been able to produce a new type of high-strength titanium alloy that has reached international standards."
"Our manufacturing process is brand new, and the titanium alloy we produce is also brand new. Normally, the strength of the alloy produced by this new process can be further improved. But we have conducted three consecutive experiments, and finally ended up with
It ended in failure, and the strength of the alloy produced not only did not increase, but actually decreased."
"Now we just can't find the problem. We don't know which specific process, or which step has the problem, or is there a problem with the alloy ratio? Or what other methods should be used? In short, the purpose is to continue to improve the strength."
"If the intensity could be increased, the project would have achieved results, but now it is stuck..."
Peng Hui introduced with a sigh, and then said, "To be honest, it's not that there is really nothing we can do, and it's impossible for us to ask others for help."
Wang Hao nodded in understanding and asked, "Can you tell me your specific ideas? What kind of method does your new manufacturing process use? What kind of idea?"
This issue is somewhat sensitive and involves confidentiality.
Shi Guifang immediately looked at Peng Hui, as if she wanted to remind him not to talk too much, but Peng Hui said indifferently, "Xiaofang, it doesn't matter if you talk here. Wang Hao is not specialized in material research, so it doesn't conflict with us.
."
Shi Guifang felt a little embarrassed. She was so angry that she simply sat further away.
Peng Hui continued, "There are two main directions. One is the removal of impurities. The other is the improvement of the preparation process and the temperature adjustment in various processes."
"At the beginning, we wanted to alloy, that is, to study a new type of alloy, but then we gave up." Peng Hui shook his head as he said, "Actually, this idea is the best."
"Why?" Wang Hao was a little confused.
Xia Guobin smiled and said, "What else could it be? There must be insufficient funds, right, Lao Peng."
"That's not because the funding is too little." Peng Hui said, "Without a funding base of more than 50 million yuan for this new type of material research, it's unthinkable."
Wang Hao continued to ask, "How do you remove impurities?"
"Ultra-high temperature, repeated melting, and calcination..."
Peng Hui explained it carefully. He just talked about a process and didn't care about confidentiality.
To put it simply, their research uses new methods to create high-strength titanium alloys that reach international standards.
After that, I wanted to continue to increase the intensity, but I did several experiments in a row without making any progress.
Each experiment requires a large amount of money. If you continue without a clue, you can only achieve results by luck, and the chances can be very slim.
In addition, due to limited scientific research funding issues, it is impossible to continue experiments.
Peng Hui finally said, "That's why we want to find a data mining expert to help with experimental data analysis. It would be best if he can help."
Wang Hao nodded thinking.
"As for the remuneration, to be honest, our funds are limited, but I can make the decision to share the honor of the results, and give a special data analyst the title, and the contribution can be at the same level as a researcher." Peng Hui briefly talked about the remuneration, which basically means,
As long as the research can be completed, Wang Hao can enjoy the same 'result honors' as other researchers.
For example, if a paper is published, an award is awarded, or a commendation is received, Wang Hao will serve as an important member of the research team, receive relevant awards, and be named in the successful contribution.
etc.
These are all reputational improvements.
Participating in projects, winning awards, being named in papers, etc. will enrich your personal resume and will definitely be beneficial to your personal development.
However, Wang Hao obviously doesn't care about these, even if he joins the team, completes heavyweight material research and development results with others, or wins awards with others...
To be continued...
