In the library of Beijing University, Lin Xiao finished typing the last English character on the computer, and then typed a small dot representing a period.
At this point, he has finished sorting out Lin's theory on the bonding mechanism of titanium.
The next step is to send it to "Natural Materials".
Although this theory reveals a mechanism in the bonding process of titanium atoms, there is no need to worry that the emergence of this theory will allow others to develop titanium alloys like TA1000, because it is just a basic theory that exists in the natural world.
, if you want to use it to create TA1000, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Just like the theory of relativity, everyone on the earth knows that the theory of relativity led to the birth of the atomic bomb, but if you put the theory of relativity in front of you, can you know that it can be used to create an atomic bomb?
Another example is that you have an IMO math problem in front of you, and someone else tells you which theorems and formulas you need to use to solve the problem, but can you really solve it using these methods?
Obviously it's not that simple.
In the same way, the same is true for Lin's titanium bonding mechanism, so there is no need to worry about people being able to use this mechanism to create top-notch titanium alloys. It still depends on luck, just like materials research.
In other words, Lin's titanium bonding mechanism only tells people what happens in the process of titanium atoms combining to form chemical bonds, but it does not tell people how to make titanium alloys stronger. One is in the microscopic field, and the other is in the macroscopic field.
Unless, like Lin Xiao, you can point the direction directly through the system.
On the contrary, China now has various data on TA1000, which means that they already have a case of correctly using this new titanium bonding mechanism. Through this case, it can provide guidance for their future research and development.
.
With the guidance of TA1000, in the future, their development of high-temperature titanium alloys will have a good chance of firmly becoming the number one in the world, not to mention surpassing the world.
By then, they will take the lead in any domestic industry that needs to use high-temperature titanium alloys, such as aviation and aerospace engines. By then, they will be able to surpass foreign countries in certain performances.
Lin's titanium bonding mechanism is only a basic theory that reveals the natural world, and is not a so-called theory that can be directly used in applications.
…
Lin Xiao entered the official website of "Natural Materials", then entered the page for submitting manuscripts, submitted the entire paper, and saw that the article had been submitted and was awaiting review by the editor. Lin Xiao leaned on the back of his chair.
More thoughts flashed through my mind.
Now it is just the bonding mechanism of titanium, and the aluminum content in TA1000 is not much at all. Titanium has its own bonding mechanism, what about aluminum?
Aluminum also has a unique bonding mechanism, right?
What about molecules of other elements?
Lin Xiao started to think.
If he can find out the root cause of titanium's bonding mechanism, can it be deduced to all other elements?
This is entirely possible. If some mechanisms of bonding engineering of all elements can be found, the study of their materials will bring about a theoretical weapon like an atomic bomb.
And it is not just a material, it is also an important theoretical weapon in the field of chemistry.
Therefore, this kind of problem also involves chemistry.
Of course, the boundary between materials and chemistry is not so clear-cut. Materials science studies solid materials, as well as the composition, structure, process, properties, etc. of these materials, while chemistry studies a wider range of aspects, such as solids.
Liquids, gases, ions, etc.
However, no matter what form it is, it is inseparable from the three types of chemical bonds: metal bonds, ionic bonds, and covalent bonds. It is these things based on electromagnetic forces that form connections between atoms, and there are various kinds of chemical bonds.
substance.
And the mechanism of their formation will make a great contribution to revealing the mystery of the formation of matter to mankind.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, then went back to his paper and put forward his own hypothesis at the end.
[I believe that other atoms also have the same bonding principles as titanium atoms. They will help us better understand the world. I also hope that friends in the materials and chemistry circles can continue to work more in this direction in the future.
Go deeper.]
Then he withdrew the manuscript he had submitted to "Nature Materials" and sent the manuscript with this sentence added.
This is a complete paper.
Solve problems that have not been solved and ask questions that have not been asked.
This is the reason why from the time of scientific enlightenment until today, relativity, quantum mechanics, M theory and other theories that sound incredible have been born. In other words, this is the inheritance of science.
Until all truths in the world are finally found, this inheritance will never be cut off.
At this time, Lin Xiao couldn't help but wonder, is there really a true 'cosmic truth'?
What exactly is this truth?
A one-line formula that can explain everything in the universe?
Or something else that is incomprehensible?
He shook his head, thinking too much would make him confused.
Afterwards, he started to pack his things and prepare to leave. After sending out the paper, it was time to leave.
However, at this time, a boy next to him glanced at his screen and couldn't help but asked with surprise on his face: "Lin Shen, have you voted for "nature-materials"?"
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."
The boy suddenly felt incredible. He was also a graduate student in materials science. How come he couldn't even apply for the International Division II?
"Lin Shen, how did you learn? Can you tell me your learning secrets?"
Lin Xiao spread his hands and said: "I don't have any secrets. I just need to use my head to calculate and use mathematical knowledge."
After saying that, he closed his laptop and left.
When he heard what Lin Xiao said, the boy couldn't help but be stunned. Use mathematics to calculate the materials?
What a joke!
Materials are the key to experimentation.
Unless, Lin Xiao studies computational materials science?
He couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart, and decided to pay attention to "Natural Materials" in the future. If Lin Xiao's paper was published in the future, he would definitely read it.
He wanted to see how Lin Xiao used mathematics to calculate materials.
…
After Lin Xiao left the library, he went straight to the teaching building of the School of Mathematics and found Professor Xu Ji's office.
"Professor Xu."
Arriving in the office, Lin Xiao shouted with a smile.
"Hey, here we come." After Xu Ji saw Lin Xiao coming, he asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been doing recently?"
"I'm going to do a project with Academician Chen Bao from the Institute of Aeronautical Materials."
Lin Xiao said.
"Aeronautical Materials Research Institute?"
Xu Ji was stunned. As a mathematician, he certainly didn't know about the recent major events in the domestic materials industry, nor did he understand these secrets.
Then he smiled and said: "You have so many interdisciplinary experiences."
Lin Xiao smiled, and then asked: "By the way, your academician status this year should be stable, right?"
This year's selection of additional academicians has already begun, and Xu Ji is also among the candidates, so the probability of being selected is quite high.
Xu Ji smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, you can't talk about this kind of thing. Everything depends on the outcome."
Although he said that, Lin Xiao looked at his expression and felt that he was very stable.
He smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting to eat your celebration banquet."
"Haha, I'll see you in November." Xu Ji said, "Oh, by the way, you're here just in time, and I have to tell you about your graduation."
"graduate?"
"Well, the previous plan was not for you to study for two years as an undergraduate. Looking at it now, it is still a bit long for you, so if you want, we can graduate you at the end of this semester. After that, you will be a graduate student.
You can directly study for a doctorate, a master's degree is a waste of time, just skip it."
"Graduate directly..." Lin Xiao thought for a moment and finally nodded: "If possible, then graduate as soon as possible."
"Well, then you have to hurry up. It's already August, which means you still have five months to write your graduation thesis. However, it shouldn't be a problem for you, just write whatever you want.
"
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "I know."
"Haha, just take your time, it's not that urgent." Xu Ji said with a smile: "By the way, if you want to get a direct PhD, where do you plan to study? Overseas or domestic?"
Hearing this question, Lin Xiao couldn't help but think about it. If it was in China, it would be Beijing University. After all, he was more familiar with it here. If it was abroad, he currently prefers École Normale Supérieure in Paris and Princeton University.
Both universities are at the center of mathematics.
However, after all, Lin Xiao has been to Paris, so he still has a good impression of the atmosphere there. In addition, the French cuisine is also quite good. After eating a few meals there in those few days, he felt that it was quite to his liking, and he still likes it now.
I miss it a bit.
Of course, Lin Xiao himself had not made a decision in his mind as to where to study.
However, with the elder Professor Xu in front of me, it would be a good idea to ask for advice.
So Lin Xiao asked: "Professor Xu, do you think it is better for me to go domestically or abroad?"
Xu Ji smiled and said: "If you want me to recommend, it would be to go to Paris. To tell you the truth, the Paris Normal University also sent an email to our college, asking if you want to go to them for further study in the future. They said yes.
We can give you a place to jointly train doctoral students with our school, and we are quite satisfied with this. At least you can be regarded as a doctor from our Peking University in the future."
Hearing what Xu Ji said, Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.
Paris Normal University actually sent a special email asking?
However, it seems that it would be quite good to jointly train Ph.D.s between Peking University and Paris Normal University, and he would be able to obtain doctoral degree certificates from both schools.
Of course, he didn't pay much attention to getting a doctorate degree, it was just a matter of leisure.
"Well, I'll think about it later and get back to you."
"OK."
Xu Ji nodded and said no more, while Lin Xiao didn't stay longer and left the office directly.
…
Editorial Office of Nature-Materials, Clenan Street, London, UK.
As a sub-journal, "Natural Materials" is not as well-known as the main journal "Nature", but as a top journal in the materials world, they are still very attractive in the materials world, and they receive submissions from all over the world every day
.
Therefore, the editorial department is still very busy today.
"Oh my God, when did materials science require such high mathematics?"
While everyone was busy, their editor-in-chief Vincent Dusas looked at the manuscript in front of him and suddenly wailed and couldn't help but scratch his somewhat bald head.
"What's wrong Vincent?"
Hearing the editor's voice, the deputy editor next to him, Amos Martin, couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"Do you know Lin Xiao?" Vincent asked.
"Well...the mathematical genius who proved Goldbach's conjecture."
"Yeah, now he submitted a manuscript to us, and now he's torturing me with math - Oh my god, Amos, please help me!"
Vincent pointed to the lines of mathematical formulas displayed on the computer screen and said with a look of despair.
There were so many and complicated mathematical formulas. He had been reviewing manuscripts for who knows how many years. This was the first time he encountered such a headache. It was even more troublesome than those nonsense papers.
After hearing what the editor said, Amos couldn't help but go over and take a look. The math genius actually published an article for them in "Natural Materials"?
Can they still give their editor-in-chief such a headache?
After a few glances, he patted Vincent and said, "I'm sorry, this is the only thing I have to say, I can't help you, goodbye."
After that, he sat back in his seat.
Vincent sat down again and once again focused on the paper in front of him.
No matter what, it has been sent to him, and he must read it from beginning to end.
Let’s leave the headaches to the peer reviewers later.
…
