Top Student at Their Peak

The situation unfolded exactly as Zhang Zuolin had analyzed. About ten minutes later, Yu Yanjiang, seated at the head position, quickly finished reading the report and placed the pages on the table.

Then, he looked toward Zhang Zuolin, who was sitting in the subordinate position, and said, "Professor Zhang, is there anything your laboratory needs to add?"

Zhang Zuolin immediately responded, "Chief Engineer Yu, the main person responsible for our lab's project is Liu Hao, so why not let him report the situation to you?"

Liu Hao, who had already taken out the materials, roughly understood the intention behind his boss specifically bringing him along this time.

Blow praises for Qiao Yu to the fullest...

It sounds simple, but this task was indeed best suited for him to do. After all, his boss still needed to maintain face.

Some things were difficult for the boss to say in front of these bigwigs, but he could say them freely. Anyway, once out the door, he wouldn't have the opportunity to directly communicate with these bigwigs for at least ten years, and he could also represent his boss...

Indeed, there is a reason why the boss could get along so well everywhere and attract projects.

Thinking this way, Liu Hao was not fazed at all. Unlike Ma Botao, who would report first and then submit all the lab's reports to Chief Engineer Yu,

he stood up directly and handed over the organized materials first.

"Chief Engineer Yu, these are the various sample data reports from our lab before and after Qiao Yu's guidance."

"Hmm, thank you, young comrade."

"Not at all."

After returning to his seat, Liu Hao formally began to report to the bigwigs.

"Leaders, teachers, before giving a detailed report, I'd like to briefly describe the difficulties we faced in this project, to let the experts understand why we sought new methods.

In the early experiments, we repeatedly tried to adjust the proportion of monomers and crosslinkers in the materials and improve experimental conditions like temperature and time parameters.

Unfortunately, the results showed significant fluctuations in material performance, especially in fracture strength recovery and self-healing efficiency, which consistently failed to break through the 70% barrier.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the lab was very gloomy at that time. We are a relatively young team, and this project was competitive, especially since Professor Ma is already a leader in the related industry.

This added tremendous pressure on us. At that time, we also sought help from many mathematics professors at the school, including Lu Huazhou, hoping to get useful analysis through the data we had accumulated over six months.

However, as Professor Luo and the experts from the computing institute said, the opinions provided by other professors at the school were also lacking in data directionality and couldn't identify a clear pattern. This problem left us very passive for a time."

Saying this, Liu Hao subconsciously looked up at Qiao Yu, who was sitting next to Yu Yanjiang, and raised his voice slightly.

"Really, we were particularly distressed at that time, and then I remembered having interacted with Qiao Yu once before. So I tentatively asked if he could help us.

At that time, we were almost ready to give up. But Qiao Yu, after getting the data, took only about two weeks to provide us with the first analysis report.

Based on that analysis report, we successfully produced a total of six batches with thirty samples, each greatly surpassing the previous results. The specific circumstances are detailed in the report.

Let me illustrate one particular example, so everyone can understand the significance of Qiao Yu's analysis report for the project experiments. In our design, temperature is an important parameter.

Through Qiao Yu's analysis, we discovered a critical point between temperature and crosslinker concentration. When the temperature exceeded this critical point, the efficiency of the crosslinking reaction significantly decreased.

The specific value of this critical point was precisely predicted by Qiao Yu through his method of data analysis. One could say that our lab team was already very familiar with the material research.

But data analysis requires entirely different perspectives and tools. I'm not quite sure what method Qiao Yu used for his analysis, but indeed, when everyone else was at a loss, he helped us solve the unbreachable blind spot of the past..."

At this point, Liu Hao felt like he was getting into the swing of things, and his tone began to become more sentimental.

"...If the laboratory is the heart of this project, Qiao Yu's analysis is the driving force behind that heart. His work showed us the patterns behind the data and gave us direction and confidence.

I personally have great admiration for Qiao Yu's rigorous attitude towards science and innovative spirit. He is not only an outstanding mathematician but also a scientist truly dedicated to solving practical problems..."

Feeling the pressure?

To be honest, Liu Hao did feel a bit of pressure when he first received instructions from Zhang Zuolin.

After all, it was outright flattery, which naturally felt somewhat embarrassing.

However, during the report, when he thought about how Qiao Yu's report finally allowed him to sleep well for a few days, that feeling disappeared.

No matter what, Qiao Yu had indeed helped him solve major problems twice in a row, so praising Qiao Yu felt much more comfortable than praising a bigwig he didn't even know.

The most crucial thing was that as long as he recalled the bitterness of not finding direction in the lab, he could easily overcome various psychological obstacles and express those flattering words sincerely and with emotion without any need for brewing.

In this way, Liu Hao praised for a full ten minutes... until the eyes of the attending bigwigs started to become strange, and even Qiao Yu began to feel embarrassed, he finally finished.
