Super God-Level Top Student

It hasn't even been twenty-four hours, and you already know?

Who the hell talks so fast?

Luo Benyuan suddenly felt that his trip today was worth it.

"That's right, I cast a dissenting vote, but I truly am skeptical about this project, which is also why I came here today," Luo Benyuan said.

"I know," Qiao Ze said these three words again, then fell silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and after a while, he continued, "You think it's difficult, my plan is impractical."

Luo Benyuan nodded in agreement, about to delve deeper into his viewpoint, but Qiao Ze added, "But I don't agree."

"Why?" Luo Benyuan almost blurted out, "Professor Qiao, do you have any experience with on-site engineering research?"

Qiao Ze pondered for a moment before challenging back, "Does helping the Optoelectronics Institute design and manufacture a photolithography machine count?"

"Ah?" Luo Benyuan was stunned, he really didn't know that Qiao Ze also had this connection with the Optoelectronics Institute.

"Although I didn't participate in frontline work, problems were summarized with me; I could grasp where the difficulties lay, in short, there's no scientific method," Qiao Ze added.

"A scientific method? What are you questioning? You decide what counts as scientific?" Luo Benyuan asked with a hint of indignation.

Qiao Ze didn't respond, just quietly looked at him.

This quickly brought Luo Benyuan back to his senses.

Alright, whether he admits it or not, even though this guy seems young enough to be mistaken for a student, his standing in the academic world was clearly higher than his, something he had to acknowledge.

Just as he was thinking of what to say to lighten the mood, Qiao Ze spoke again, "Meaningless debates won't solve problems. Tell me, what's an absolutely difficult research challenge?"

"Alright, let's talk about the most fundamental thing first, materials! According to your idea, unmanned swarms need to navigate and be on standby underwater for long periods of time, which means they must withstand prolonged erosion by seawater.

Unlike submarines, they need to be absolutely sealed to protect the internal chips to function correctly, yet also ensure the communication system works properly. Are there suitable materials available at this stage to support your idea? What makes you think that usable materials will become available in a short period?"

Qiao Ze nodded and said, "Materials science is exactly the discipline I want to improve methods in; current research methods in materials science really are not scientific."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more," Luo Benyuan said with a slightly harsh tone.

"Have you been following papers on materials science?"

Qiao Ze casually asked, but didn't seem to wait for Luo Benyuan to reply, continuing, "Whether it's materials mechanics, materials engineering, or new materials, in fact, the overall research direction in materials science has become a game of trial and error. We don't know the best mix for materials and can only use countless experiments to advance them.

As a result, a huge database has accumulated too much redundant data. Doesn't this seem foolish? What if there was a method that, given the required material parameters, could use a vast database, and a model could automatically find the needed substrate, the appropriate catalysts, and the optimal mixture?"

Luo Benyuan's eyes widened as he looked at Qiao Ze and exclaimed subconsciously, "How is that possible?"

"Why not? Take a look," Qiao Ze said.

Guided by Qiao Ze's gesture, Luo Benyuan moved next to him and looked at the computer screen, which displayed a very complex data frame as well as many intricate formulas that were indecipherable at a glance.

"The NP-complete problems in mathematics seek to reduce complexity, to turn a complex issue into many simple ones. Although I can't prove P=NP yet, when it comes to research in materials science, this model is entirely feasible. Like this..."

As he spoke, Qiao Ze began selecting parameters on the data frame: tensile strength, shear strength, thermal expansion coefficient, elastic parameters, fracture parameters, surface healing...

Luo Benyuan watched as Qiao Ze selected dozens of material parameters, common ones and uncommon ones, then the system began processing in the background...

"These requirements have been uploaded to Dou Dou's backend database and have started operating the model to begin cross-referencing. There are no extreme parameter settings, so it shouldn't be too slow; we should have a result by the time we finish our conversation," Qiao Ze explained.

"You mean this model you developed in the future will only need the requirements input, and then after computation, the model will automatically give out suggestions, the substrate, the catalyst, the optimal mixture?" Luo Benyuan asked.

"Not just these, it will also provide a lab scheme. Heating, pressurizing, annealing, quenching, aging, solution treatment, precipitation strengthening, sintering, chemical vapor deposition, etc.," Qiao Ze said.

After saying this, Qiao Ze thought for a moment and added, "Of course, the model is not omnipotent. If your input parameters are too extreme, it won't be able to provide a solution, or the solution it offers may not be feasible."

In that moment, Luo Benyuan's brain seemed to freeze, losing the ability to think.

After a long pause, he muttered without any conviction, "If this model really works, even if it's only half as useful as you describe, the world owes you a Nobel Prize."

"The Nobel Prize?"

Qiao Ze glanced at Luo Benyuan and said calmly, "That's not necessary, but in fact, the model has already proven to be useful. Dou Dou has used this model to verify the content of several recent top journals in materials science. It also randomly provided suggestions for improvements to the authors' institutions.

These are their responses, and it's proven that following the recommendations from my model, they achieved better laboratory results," Qiao Ze added.
