Funding is the big issue.
Shuimu University was able to establish a Mathematics Science Center because it is already one of the top universities in the country.
Being top-notch means it’s attractive, and it also means "having a lot of money," so the university could put in some funds, then apply for some subsidies for scientific research institutions from higher levels, and that would be enough.
Yanhua University is not a "rich" university. Due to the size of the school, the annual funding ranks around the 30th position among domestic universities. It is mainly supported by the School of Life Sciences, and the School of Sciences alone has no appeal.
On the other hand, there is the issue of talent.
Shuimu University and Capital University boast the nation’s top young elites, especially at the undergraduate level, with the brightest minds recruited from all over the country.
Undergraduates support the master’s programs, and master’s programs support the doctoral programs.
Shuimu University and Capital University will always have a steady stream of talent, and within their campuses, there are enough people to support the education and research of many branches of mathematics.
Yanhua University’s student sources are definitely a tier below, and since the enrollment scale is much smaller, it is not realistic to expect to support the education and research of numerous branches of mathematics. The key to the development of a theoretical research center is the continuous influx of talent, and it is not practical to rely solely on external recruitment due to costs and research considerations.
So, Du Defa could only shake his head.
Zhou Zhengbin thought that what Du Defa said made sense and suddenly became worried.
If Zhao Yi really believes that the particle mathematics research center is not large enough, he might consider leaving Yanhua University and going to a larger, more influential university where he could apply to establish a "large-scale mathematics research center," which would certainly receive support.
Zhou Li seemed completely unconcerned and shook his head, saying, "Director Du, you might be overthinking it."
"What do you mean?" Du Defa and Zhou Zhengbin looked at Zhou Li together.
Zhou Li said, "You don’t know Zhao Yi well enough. He is not the kind of person who cares about power and status." He added, "If he were concerned about power and position, he wouldn’t have been able to focus on academics and achieve what he has today."
Zhao Yi’s focus on academics was recognized, and Du Defa and Zhou Zhengbin both nodded in agreement.
Zhou Li continued, "It’s actually really simple. Zhao Yi just wants his life to be a little easier. Think about it, he’s working on his research and has work at the medical research institute, keeping him really busy. At his age, many young people are still studying and partying. It’s not fair to expect him to be fully devoted to his job. He just feels that the pressure of work is too big and doesn’t want to add to it." freёweɓnovel.com
"That makes sense!" Du Defa nodded.
"So that’s why." Zhou Zhengbin suddenly realized, frowning, "But what about the particle mathematics center?"
"It’s simple!"
Zhou Li said carelessly with a smile, "He still has work at the School of Sciences, right? He can just take a normal position as a professor at the Particle Mathematics Center. It’s the same thing within the university."
"But how do we explain it to others?" Du Defa worried about this point, "If Academician Zhao isn’t in charge of the Particle Mathematics Center, nobody else can be."
Zhou Zhengbin immediately reacted, "Isn’t Zhao Yi the first professor of the center? It doesn’t seem to matter whether he’s in charge of the administrative work or not, as long as he’s working at the research center."
"That’s true."
Du Defa felt that something wasn’t quite right, but he couldn’t figure out what the problem was.
After discussing it, they reached an agreement.
Du Defa and his assistant left the university together, still mulling over the issue on their way back. After analyzing it with his assistant, they found the root of the problem.
First of all, the group in charge of the science and technology department hadn’t decided to build a particle mathematics center for Yanhua University. They were just consulting Zhao Yi, and they still had to make an assessment when they returned.
Additionally, having someone other than Zhao Yi in charge of the Particle Mathematics Center is important for administrative reasons, which directly affect personnel and education, among other things.
They had agreed that Zhao Yi would only serve as the "first professor" of the center, but the position is just a regular professorship, with no involvement in other matters besides working in the research office.
The purpose of the science and technology department funding Yanhua University to establish a Particle Mathematics Center is to express their support for the development of theoretical research and to hope that the center can genuinely develop.
Without Zhao Yi in charge, can others do a good job?
No matter how Du Defa thought about it, it felt strange. After carefully recalling the attitudes of Zhou Zhengbin, Zhou Li, and Zhao Yi in the university, he felt a sense of being "played."
In the end, Du Defa could only smile bitterly and decided to report the situation as usual.
At the very least, Zhao Yi confirmed that the Boundary Theory of particles has great research potential and is recognized by the international mathematical physics community. As for the specifics of how the final decision would be made, he couldn’t control everything.
...
Zhao Yi didn’t take the matter of the "Particle Mathematics Research Center" to heart. He never thought about establishing a Mathematical Center and taking charge of large-scale administrative and educational work.
That would be too troublesome.
It’s good that others recognize the Boundary Theory of particles and engage in research, on the condition that he doesn’t have to do anything. To expect him to develop an academic center and instruct a group of researchers?
Don’t be joking!
Spending the same time and energy on research might yield many results!
After settling down, Zhao Yi continued to focus on the research of the "Mass-Energy Structure Theory." Introducing mass into the Boundary Theory of particles and shaping a more perfect mass-energy structure was a huge improvement to the theory.
Now, it was necessary to demonstrate the effects of introducing mass, including its impact on particle energy arrangement and the very important concept of "gravity."
Why does gravity occur?
The "Mass-Energy Structure Theory" offers a simple explanation: the compression and repulsion of space cause the emergence of "gravity." The larger the occupied space and the greater the mass, the stronger the gravity.
Next, they had to demonstrate the properties of mass.
There were gains from their video communication with Edward Witten, who had demonstrated the properties of mass in a multi-dimensional space. Zhao Yi, on the other hand, demonstrated the properties of mass in a three-dimensional space and the universe. His mathematical framework indicated that mass may complement the "stability" of particle energy arrangement.
When particles form energy arrangements within a certain range, they may fall into an unstable state. Some particles will either dissipate directly or acquire mass supplementation. The appearance of mass and its resulting effects will make the energy arrangement stable again.
At the same time, the emergence of mass also brings other effects, including giving particles mass itself, allowing for gravity between masses, and other various properties.
For example, electron charging.
When demonstrating electromagnetic force, this logic will definitely be used.
Zhao Yi recorded his thoughts.
These ideas were not baseless fantasies but rather supported by a certain mathematical framework. Most of the framework is still conceptual, but the mathematical calculations can incorporate these ideas into the overall theoretical system.
Other ideas, such as the notion that mass is composed of energy in a peculiar form, prove infeasible from a mathematical perspective. Even the process of demonstrating this argument could overturn the Boundary Theory of particles.
...
While continuously studying particle mathematics, Zhao Yi also kept an eye on the research and development of the 2CV-Bing Hydrogen Molecule drug at the medical institute.
One day.
Zhang Wei called Zhao Yi to report a small anomaly: "There’s a resistance to antibodies targeting E. Coli in one of the experimental tanks."
"What do you mean by resistance to antibodies targeting E. Coli?" Zhao Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Zhang Wei explained, "Director Han Hui and Ai Lixin’s research found a staining detection method that can detect E. Coli marked by antibodies. We tested several experimental tanks and found that the proportion of E. Coli marked by antibodies in one tank was significantly lower."
"Professor Li Ming and I analyzed it and believed that it might be the fourth-generation bacteria that underwent some mutation, making them resistant to antibody marking."
Zhao Yi immediately said, "Wait, I’ll come and take a look."
