Chapter 496: A Gathering of Materials

Xu Zhengping sat in the office, correcting his homework one by one, with a serious and serious expression. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] This article was written by www. l·s520。 com debut

Unlike the universities of later generations, the universities that have just resumed the college entrance examination have a strict and warm educational environment.

Each student has to take four or even six classes a day, six or even six days a week, 30 classes, about fifteen classes, and almost all of these fifteen classes have homework assignments.

For students, homework in two or three classes a day naturally has to work hard until late at night, so it is jokingly called "Jiusan Society" that goes to bed at three o'clock in the morning and gets up at nine o'clock in the morning.

Such learning requirements are naturally quite strict.

However, when students have to do their homework, teachers naturally have to correct it, and not only ordinary lecturers and teaching assistants have to correct it, but also associate professors and even professors, and often they will not fake the hands of others.

There are many old professors in their fifties and sixties, and even academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who personally correct the bullshit articles of college students and beginners, which is the warm side of universities in the 80s.

It stands to reason that the homework of college students, who corrects is not corrected, however, China has always had a tradition of master smelting, and there are not a few scholars who are idle at home to teach Mengxue, and there are often outstanding disciples who stand out.

The same was true in the 80s, from which countless university students benefited.

However, someone gets and someone pays.

There are as few as 20 or 30 students in a class, and as many as 180 students, even if you take two classes a week, it is a heavy teaching task.

Even if it's an article for one person, or an article for a hundred people, I almost have the urge to die.

After the expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities, the homework of colleges and universities is almost non-existent.

However, in the 80s, universities still maintained this good practice, and although it is not guaranteed that every student will be able to apply what they have learned, it is still okay to fill the basic knowledge tree.

For example, an associate professor like Xu Zhengping, although there is heavy scientific research work in addition to teaching tasks, although there are four people sitting in a small office, and although he is so busy every day that he even has a tight time to sleep, he still concentrates and is very serious when he corrects his homework.

From time to time, there are students who come to the office to ask questions, Xu Zhengping is in class three days a week, and there are many students who come to ask.

This is also related to his level, because he explained the problem clearly, and some students from other classes also came to ask Xu Zhengping questions, and he did not treat them equally, and he did not feel that it was a waste of time.

Of course, if the question is too level, Xu Zhengping will also use a simple one-sentence answer to make people unable to get off the stage.

Since he has no intention of academics, there is no need to waste precious university places, Xu Zhengping has always thought so, but he rarely says it.

It's just that today, Xu Zhengping is a little absent-minded.

Just yesterday, Yang Rui handed him the prepared project description, clearly saying that he would start a new project in the next few days, and Xu Zhengping was skeptical.

Looking back now, Xu Zhengping somewhat hoped that Yang Rui could really do this.

"Excuse me, who is Professor Xu, Professor Xu Zhengping?" another student knocked on the door.

"I am. Which class are you from?" Xu Zhengping didn't look up, and finished the homework he was approving first.

The student waited obediently, and when Xu Zhengping's work was completed, he said with a smile: "I'm He Quangui, we've met, I'm helping in Professor Tang's laboratory, I'm here to send documents to Yang Rui." ”

It's a bit wordy, but it's clear.

Xu Zhengping asked as if he hadn't heard clearly: "What documents to send?"

"Where do you put the relevant materials for the new project?"

"Just put it on the table. ”

"I'm afraid I can't put it down. He Quangui said and ran out.

After a while, He Quangui and three other classmates entered the door carrying four large boxes.

"Put it here!" He Quangui first put the box on Xu Zhengping's table, and the other three students hurriedly followed.

The box fell on the table and made a "bang" sound, and the four big boys also began to gasp for breath.

"All this information?" Xu Zhengping stood up.

"Not only that, but four boxes, we're going to move. He Quangui said and went out.

Eight large boxes, one table naturally can't fit.

In the end, Xu Zhengping still asked them to pile it up behind his chair.

"It's all information?" Xu Zhengping has seen a lot of information, but he hasn't seen it like Yang Rui yet.

At the very least, others won't waste so much copy and printer paper.

He Quangui had been to Sinovel Lab, knew Yang Rui's style of doing things, and said with a smile: "It's all materials, some are periodicals, some are copied and printed, you will be free for a while, please call Yang Rui, he has an explanation." ”

Xu Zhengping slowly opened the box, and it was full of books, periodicals and copies.

"It's a waste. Another associate professor in the same office came over and picked up a bound copy to see that although it was copied on both sides, the white flower paper was used once, which still did not fit the Chinese way of thinking.

"The call came to Professor Tang's lab?" Xu Zhengping didn't care about reading these materials, and first looked for the extension number on the notebook on his desk.

He Quangui nodded yes and waited beside him.

The phone was connected after a while, and Xu Zhengping heard Yang Rui's voice and asked, "How many days will you give me to read these materials?"

"The information is for your reference, when do you think you are optimistic, when will it start, if the project team is concerned, I can organize it within five days, this project is more troublesome than the last time, and you have to contact the University of Tokyo, you have to worry a lot. Because it was an inside line, Yang Rui's voice was quite clear.

Xu Zhengping looked at the eight large boxes, was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll finish reading them in five days." ”

"Okay, then let's plan to start the project next week, you take it easy, we have other projects. Yang Rui said and laughed.

Xu Zhengping didn't laugh, snorted twice, and said, "If you can plan the next project, I can make it even after boiling oil." ”

The story of working on one project and then another sounds smooth and normal, and only those who are in the bureau know how difficult it is.

To use a familiar example, doing a project is like preparing for an exam, and it's a mode of studying and taking the test. After completing one project, the next project is to do another project, which is equivalent to starting the exam on the first day of class, then taking one exam in a week or a month, and then taking another one after the exam.

It's one thing to constantly overdraw your energy and stamina, it's another thing to study and prepare before exams.

Just like the new project that Yang Rui prepared for Xu Zhengping, before starting, Xu Zhengping, as the actual executor of the project, must first understand the relevant research at home and abroad.

Eight big boxes, millions of words of information, that is the intellectual achievements of hundreds of researchers, if you don't look at other people's research, can you spend your whole life to re-study?

These materials are not as jerky as textbooks, but they are just as new as they are.

Normally, in order to prepare for a project, it is not enough to read materials a month or two in advance.

Xu Zhengping said that it was completed in five days, and it was a blood-vomiting sale, and he was too excited.

Moreover, Yang Rui completed the main work, which was also a stimulus to him.

As the project leader, the reason why Yang Rui occupies the position of corresponding author and can take away a joint first author is because he shoulders the greatest responsibility to find the research direction.

With an outsider's mindset, finding a project seems to be easy. Indeed, there are many tall projects, and landing on Mars is an obvious, valuable and meaningful project, however, such a project has no practical connection with Yang Rui and others.

Normal scientific research is rubbed out little by little.

It is like studying triangles, first studying special equilateral right triangles, then relatively special right triangles, then alternative special regular triangles, and relatively special equilateral triangles...... Whoever wants to prove Morley's theorem is a personal choice, and you can play it for a lifetime, but if you don't even study the equilateral right triangle, the beauty and difficulty of proving Morley's theorem will be impossible.

Of course, it is still happy to know that you want to study triangles and equilateral right triangles, and the most normal scientific research is not even knowing what to study.

There are a lot of things worth and needing to study under the world, but if you don't count landing on Mars, there won't be much left.

A lot of researchers think about this every day, or they have to, and when there is no project, good ideas can pop up like a blowout.

However, whether the imaginary "good" is really good still needs to be verified.

In the 21st century, searching the literature database is relatively simple, and the results are usually relatively simple, and in general, 99% of good ideas have either been done or found to be unworkable.

The reasons why I can't do it are all kinds of weird, for example, there are side arguments that say this idea is rancid, for example, there are side arguments that I fucking did a similar experiment and spent 100,000 yuan, for example, there are side arguments that this set of experiments is difficult to infect dysmenorrhea......

Occasionally, some good ideas turn out to be really good.

For example, the founder of PCR, Mr. Muris, who envisioned the use of polymerase chain reaction, was believed by many colleagues to be unable to achieve results, otherwise his predecessors would definitely have made it.

As a result, it did produce results, and no one had done it before.

As a result, Muris won the coveted Nobel Prize.

It's not for nothing that the unlucky are out of luck. When he was eighteen years old, that is, the year when ordinary Chinese students were in their freshman year, Lagrange, who had abused college students thousands of times, used Newton's binomial theorem to solve the problem of higher-order microquotient of the product of two functions, and wrote a paper in Latin and sent it to Euler.

Soon after, Lagrange received a reply: The research you did was completed by Leibniz half a century ago, so you should be blind without checking the information before writing your thesis.

So, when Lagrange was 18 years old, he had the same thing as the 18-year-old Chinese college students, they both faced the sky and shouted: Fuck your Leibniz!

Xu Zhengping didn't want to scold his mother, so every time he started the project, he had to spend a lot of time and consult a lot of information.

Now, this work has been completed by Yang Rui, and the time saved for Xu Zhengping is not a star.

Although the boss of the laboratory does this work, Xu Zhengping still has some doubts about whether Yang Rui can do it well.

"Just look for the answer from the information. Xu Zhengping looked down at the eight large boxes, and he was also full of energy.
