There might even be an unexpected surprise; what if this system actually shows us the way forward?
With the experience of these three researchers, it's highly unlikely that they would make such a mistake.
But Luo Benyuan still came because he wanted to see the expression on his old friend's face when he witnessed the miracle firsthand.
"First, we choose the type of material, the major categories are metals and non-metals, and then under these, there are sub-categories: composites, polymers, ceramics, electronics..."
"Alright, enough, you're really taking this supervisor role to heart, aren't you? Do we really need you to teach us this? Huh, there's even biomaterials?"
"Told you this model is comprehensive."
"So, which material should we verify first? If what Luo said just now is all true, we might as well not bother validating someone else's paper here, Professor Qiao has already done something similar, should we try something new?"
"Isn't that a bit risky? Trying something new requires laboratory validation. The higher-ups are waiting for results, aren't they? We're supposed to verify, not to innovate."
"How about this, we verify what we already have in our database, those that can quickly produce results through laboratory testing. Then we can try something new. Of course, the new stuff also needs to be time-controllable. Once the first batch of test data comes out, can we do some more extreme testing?"
"That sounds good. Coincidentally, I'm dealing with something right now. The super-high temperature lab next door produced some exceptionally good data by chance, but they've been unable to replicate it, and they asked me for help recently to figure out what went wrong. They've given me comprehensive test records, so why don't we use that as our first test?"
"Okay, pull up the various performance indicators."
Although they had been working all day, the three of them felt no exhaustion facing this new toy.
In fact, none of them wanted to admit to feeling tired.
If the model really does perform as powerfully as Qiao Ze described, there likely wouldn't be many opportunities to feel tired in the future.
At most, they may argue over computing power until they're blue in the face.
The entire material science system was about to officially enter the stage where computing power equals productivity.
And it might not just be material science; high-risk chemistry labs could soon be modeled directly.
This kind of model, capable of reproducing material compositions, and even providing references for laboratory preparation processes, would be perfect for simulating high-end chemistry experiments. Those are genuinely dangerous, with risks of explosions, fires, and the release of toxic or corrosive gases...
There are also accidents like the old centrifuges starting without balancing, flinging the rotor several kilometers away.
In short, an inexperienced newbie could come up with a hundred ways to meet the Grim Reaper within minutes.
Soon, with the cooperation of the three experienced researchers, all the data was entered and double-checked, and then they directly hit the upload button on the model.
The user interface started to display a "computing" status, and the four of them had nothing to do for the time being.
"Luo, how long is this going to take?"
"I don't know, according to Professor Qiao, if the database already has Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today! But if it involves complicated calculations, it could take a day or two as well."
"Can we speed it up by increasing the computing power?"
"I didn't ask, but theoretically, it should be possible, right?"
The three fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"If we had three consoles, could we operate them at the same time?"
"Definitely, but Professor Qiao only sent one test code, so we can only log into one interface."
"That's a bit stingy, isn't it? What's the use of just one test code?"
"Pfft... stingy? Did you pay for it?"
"I think it might be a limitation on computing power. After all, we're using the default power allocated by them, and they're probably worried about not having enough to Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today!"
"Can you three talk about something else, like, haven't you considered what you're going to do if this model really turns out to be very useful? You can't really plan to be parameter-tuning scientists for your whole lives, right? Even if you don't think about yourselves, consider your students. They work hard for their master's and doctoral degrees."
Luo Benyuan finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted their idle chatter, trying to get them to face the future.
The result was that he successfully earned three annoyed glances.
