Chapter 340 The Dawn of Victory
Inspiration is elusive.
Just as it comes inadvertently, it often leaves inadvertently.
At this moment, Lu Zhou is not willing to waste a second.
Walking into the nearest library and sitting down, he put the pen and paper bought from the convenience store on the table, and made all the preparations before starting work.
Among the more than two dozen libraries at Columbia University, this library is open 24 hours a day and offers cheap and delicious sandwiches and coffee in the lounge area.
Here, he can stay as long as he wants without worrying about his train of thought being interrupted.
Closing his eyes, Lu Zhou conceived the equations he wrote earlier in his mind.
For the things you have researched, it is not so easy to forget. Even if the data is not at hand, he can deduce it on the spot according to the logic he has used before.
This doesn't take much time.
And by taking this opportunity, Lu Zhou can just incorporate new thinking into it when rebuilding the theory...
"In a system with N electrons, the total wave function can be written as the product of the wave functions of all single electrons..."
Mumbling to himself, Lu Zhou wrote down the first line of calculation on the paper.
【Ψ(r1, r2,..., rn)=∏Ψt(rt). 】
Without stopping there, the tip of the pen quickly moved to the next line following his line of sight.
"Then, introduce the Hartree equation!"
Lu Zhou's voice gradually brought a hint of excitement.
Although it's just the first step.
But at this moment, in front of his eyes, he seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
[{pi/2m+V(ri)+1/4πε0∑∫drf|Ψj(rj)|e/|ri-rj|}Ψi(ri)=EiΨi(ri)】
【…】
When inspiration comes, ideas pour out like a diabetes insipidus, which cannot be stopped.
The tip of the pen is jumping on the paper, faster and faster, more and more urgent.
As the line-by-line calculations leap onto the paper, the gradually formed theoretical model is like a cobweb made of logic.
Under the system constructed by this large network, all the cumbersome and complicated theories are included, all the collisions between particles, the interaction between electrons, and even all the changes at the microscopic level that can be considered are all abstracted into The language of mathematics, using mathematical methods to describe.
"This line of thinking works!"
"We don't need to explain and describe the system wave function of each particle motion, we just need to try to find the space wave function of the particle density with only 3 variables..."
"When all the particles in the system can be calculated, the physical properties of the material can be predicted!"
"Even if it is only a limited range of expectations!"
Whispering to himself, the light flickering in Lu Zhou's pupils became brighter and brighter.
The pen held tightly at the fingertips is like a sharp sword, piercing the darkness that no one is prying into, and dispelling the confusion entangled in the truth.
Immersed in research, Lu Zhou gradually forgot about time, everything about the outside world, and even his own existence.
In this way, I don't know how long it has passed.
When he finally stopped the pen in his hand, the originally pitch-black night sky outside the window also shimmered with the twilight of dawn.
At this time, a ray of morning light stretched over the antique window eaves and bookshelves, sprinkled on the lines of clean and tidy handwriting impartially.
Looking at the draft paper in front of him, Lu Zhou finally stretched out a smile from the bottom of his frown.
Months of hard work finally came to fruition at this moment.
All the questions that could not be answered in the first place had their answers at this moment.
Especially when he used the last line of calculation to seal the dome of the whole building, he felt from the bottom of his heart that he was the happiest person in the world.
The joy that comes from ignorance to knowledge is far better than all the entertainment in the world...
"Perhaps, this is the feeling that death is possible when you hear about Daoxi in the morning."
With a sigh in his heart, Lu Zhou put away the pen in his hand.
Perhaps it was because his expression was too focused, which aroused the curiosity of the red-haired boy sitting next to him.
There are many people who rush out of papers in the library, but few people rush out of their sense of mission.
"Hey buddy, are you working on a paper?"
Lu Zhou didn't answer, he piled up the draft paper and put it away.
Although the theory was already in his mind, these were precious manuscripts.
Maybe someday in the future, he'll donate them to a museum or library.
But now, these things still have to be kept by himself temporarily.
"Theoretical chemistry?" Seeing that Lu Zhou ignored him, the man was not discouraged, especially when he saw the familiar letters on the draft paper, he immediately said with great interest, "What a coincidence, I also study theoretical chemistry Yes, who is your mentor?"
Lu Zhou smiled lightly: "If you're talking about theoretical chemistry, I don't have a mentor."
If possible, he would like to have a mentor to guide him.
But his theories are self-contained, and not many people can understand them, let alone guide him?
The red-haired boy looked at him in disbelief: "You taught yourself? It's unbelievable...someone can teach this stuff by themselves? What's your major?"
Lu Zhou thought for a while: "Probably, it's mathematics."
Regardless of how shocked the red-haired brother was, Lu Zhou didn't stay in the library, but immediately returned to the D.E.Shaw Institute with the draft paper.
Although the sky had turned pale, the institute was still brightly lit.
"Anton" sitting in the center of the room is like a cold goddess. What is expensive is not only her net worth, her appearance fee, and the maintenance after each appearance are also extremely expensive.
At this moment, the engineers of the institute are busy working in front of the case.
No doubt they've been up all night.
Not just the researchers at the D.E. Shaw Institute, but the owner of the institute as well.
David Xiao did not choose to rest as he said, but still sat in that position, frowned and stared at Anton behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, lost in thought.
At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps.
Looking back, I saw Lu Zhou appearing at the door of the laboratory.
Noticing the dark circles on his face, David then glanced at the manuscript paper in his hand, and said, "Have you been up all night? Actually, you should take a good rest. You will still be busy three days later."
Lu Zhou put the manuscript in his hand on the desk, and said in a relaxed tone: "Aren't you the same?"
The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time.
The researchers in the laboratory turned their confused eyes to this side, not understanding what the two big men were laughing at.
However, Lu Zhou didn't explain anything, and their boss didn't ask at all.
Because, there is no need for this at all.
After laughing enough, David stood up from his office chair and said in a joking tone: "I guess we are very close to the finish line."
"Yes," Lu Zhou continued, nodding with a smile, "I can assure you that the dawn is just around the corner."
