Those assignnts that contain mathematical logic are also not very aningful, they only serve at most to demonstrate that so students have a higher level of ability.
That’s all there is to it.
On the other hand.
Zhao Yi continued working in his office; his primary focus was still on the work written by undergraduate students. Undergraduates generally have insufficient math skills, making it almost impossible for them to produce assignnts with a solid mathematical foundation, but they are all quite imaginative.
For example, a student nad He Jing also proposed an idea similar to the ’new field’ concept, but what she talked about was not creating a ’new field,’ but rather creating a range that could block other fields.
Within this range, gravitational and electromagnetic forces would be weakened.
Additionally, another student nad Zhu Li proposed a ’section theory,’ suggesting that ion lattices spontaneously generate sections that obstruct the transmission of spatial gravity.
The work Zhao Yi was currently undertaking involved finding ideas with a foundational mathematical frawork that were ’flawless.’ These two ideas did not have discernible issues within their foundational mathematical frawork.
In reality, what Zhao Yi was doing was akin to verifying whether an extrely large natural number was pri; because testing very large natural numbers for primality involves imnse computational effort, and his mathematical frawork could only support very simple verifications.
For instance, verifying the numbers 3, 5, 7.
If an idea could not be faulted with simple verification, then it could be used to attempt to construct a mathematical frawork, which would then allow for subsequent reasoning, and finally, based on the frawork, specific experintal thods could be identified.
After spending more than a day, Zhao Yi finished looking through all the ’assignnts’ and ultimately selected these two ideas that had passed the ’basic verification.
He thought both were worth a try.
Next, he began conducting detailed mathematical proofs and derivations based on the two ideas, constructing the foundational logic for ’superconducting antigravity.’
Then it was ti to prepare for the experint.
When it was truly ti to start the experints, Zhao Yi already had sufficient conditions in place. He used a highly consumptive "Law of Cause and Effect" and imdiately ruled out the idea of ’blocking other forces.’
"Section theory is the most likely," Zhao Yi said to Li Ning, "It’s the last idea left, and I have done the mathematical proof for it and proceeded to conduct a more detailed derivation."
He brought out a stack of around a dozen pages.
Li Ning, looking at the complex mathematical structures, felt a bit of a headache. He realized he hadn’t actually done anything, and in the end, he couldn’t even understand the work Zhao Yi had done, falling into self-doubt, ’Is the gap really that big? We’re both mathematicians, physicists, and yet he can quickly write sothing so complicated, while I...’
’This is my theory!’
In the end, Li Ning could only give a wry smile and said, "Academician Zhao, I’ll heed your advice."
"Hmm, good," Zhao Yi didn’t say much more, but went to the third floor of the School of Sciences’ physics laboratory to inquire about the project application.
As soon as Li Ning arrived at Yanhua University, he applied for a physics experint project titled ’Verification of Superconducting Antigravity Theory,’ under the identity of a School of Sciences professor, requesting a grant of one million yuan.
Most of the grant would be spent on equipnt; Yanhua University College of Science’s physics laboratory was quite modest, equipped with just the basic apparatus, and the superconducting antigravity experint required more sophisticated equipnt. Additionally, a portion of the costs would be needed for material procurent.
A million yuan should be just about enough.
The upper managent’s approval process was also quite swift; upon discovering Zhao Yi was conducting a physical research project and had only requested a million yuan, they approved it without any discount.
At the sa ti, there were also many voices of discussion, mainly about Zhao Yi’s experintal physics project, which sounded incredibly high-end.
"Antigravity?"
"Such a project asks for a million yuan in funding? If it wasn’t Academician Zhao, I’d think it was a scam to swindle funds!"
"Yeah, antigravity!"
"I know about Li Ning’s superconducting antigravity theory. Indeed, verifying this theory doesn’t require too much funding; it’s just a superconductivity experint. However, many physicists abroad believe his theory is incorrect."
"Because it can’t be verified!"
"Ever since the theory was first proposed, many laboratories have been trying to verify it; twenty years have passed and it has still not been confird."
"Can Academician Zhao really do it?"
"..."
No matter what others discussed, Zhao Yi and Li Ning simply waited together for the equipnt to be complete.
Purchasing new equipnt required a significant amount of ti, so their choice was to buy ’second-hand equipnt.’ As it happened, Shuimu University’s physics laboratory was upgrading, so they quickly bought the equipnt from them.
Second-hand, cheap!
The person in charge of Shuimu University’s physics laboratory was Zhang Kai, who felt he had secured a great bargain because selling the equipnt to other laboratories or so corporate research organizations definitely would not have fetched a high price. Selling it to Yanhua University College of Science, he got at least an extra hundred thousand yuan.
"This is equivalent to saving a hundred thousand in funds!" Zhang Kai thought about it and felt like he had made a killing, and he even bragged about it to others with pride.
After hearing this, Qiu Chengwen asked, "Why is your lab updating its equipnt, anyway?"
"For a big project!"
Zhang Kai said as a matter of course, "We’re preparing to conduct several high-end studies. The old equipnt just can’t keep up with the tis, so we need to replace it with new ones. The project has already been approved, and we have received quite a bit of funding."
Qiu Chengwen frowned slightly, "So you sold the old equipnt to Yanhua University College of Science? And for a high price, too?"
"Yes?" Zhang Kai replied, "It seems Academician Zhao wanted to buy it, and I definitely support Academician Zhao. But when it cos to selling equipnt, naturally, the higher the price, the better."
"Do you know what research Academician Zhao is doing?" Qiu Chengwen continued to inquire.
Zhang Kai, not understanding his point, said with confusion, "Superconducting antigravity experint?"
"Exactly!"
Qiu Chengwen said, "You know what a superconducting antigravity experint signifies, right? Now that you’ve sold the equipnt at a high price and are boasting everywhere that your lab is embarking on a major project, just think about it yourself... if Academician Zhao’s experint succeeds."
Zhang Kai’s mouth suddenly fell open.
He was not the kind to be slow on the uptake. Once he gave it so thought, he realized the issue.
Shuimu University’s physics laboratory had obtained a large fund allocation, a sum so vast that they could dispose of old equipnt and bring in a bunch of new equipnt. Then they sold the old equipnt at a high price to the Yanhua University physics laboratory.
If the Yanhua University physics laboratory used this old equipnt to achieve groundbreaking results that shocked the international community, and they, after receiving such a large sum of funding and replacing their equipnt with high-end models, ended up achieving...
No significant outcos?
In comparison, it would be a blow!
What would the higher-ups think? What would the departnt responsible for allocating the funds think? They gave them a large amount of funding, and yet they produced no significant outcos. anwhile, Yanhua University’s laboratory bought a bunch of old equipnt and managed to secure top-tier international results.
Next year... they probably wouldn’t get any funding!
Zhang Kai suddenly ca to his senses and quickly rushed to Yanhua University. Once he arrived at the College of Science, he directly demanded a ’refund,’ "We don’t need the money! All our equipnt is a gift, a gift!"
"The purpose is to support Academician Zhao’s experint!"
"Actually, talking about the price was just a joke, what’s our relationship? Brother schools! Brother labs! Talking about money? That’s going too far!"
Zhang Kai rambled on with a lot of fuss.
Yanhua University College of Science wasn’t having any of it. Zhao Yi, upon hearing this, said nonchalantly, "It doesn’t matter. If you’re in a hurry to buy sothing, you have to pay more. Anyway, the money has already been paid. If you want to donate the equipnt, we can discuss it next ti."
Zhao Yi had no idea what Zhang Kai’s intentions were, but he didn’t care about a few hundred thousand. Besides, their research project had funding from higher-ups. Even if the money wasn’t spent on the project, it wouldn’t end up in his own pocket.
So, it didn’t matter to him at all.
In the end, Zhang Kai had no choice but to return dejectedly. On the way back, he kept muttering to himself, "Don’t succeed, please don’t!"
"Superconducting antigravity? Impossible!"
"Right!"
"I shouldn’t be praying for it to fail, after all, it’s Academician Zhao’s research project. But superconducting antigravity is simply impossible, at least not for decades."
"What’s the use of Li Ning’s theory? It’s definitely false, it won’t succeed!"
Zhang Kai kept reassuring himself, and it did have a significant effect—at least he felt much better emotionally.
