Chapter 894 Seniority and Relationship

"Stupid..." Xiang Shan sighed deeply, "Why do I have such an image? And it's for such a reason."

Jing Hongtu smiled happily on the opposite side of Xiangshan: "On a general level, what Old Liu said is absolutely right."

"No, that's not my scope of work." Xiangshan mixed the sauce and potato products with a fork: "As a result, Mr. Liu said that I should use my presence on such occasions. During the routine report, Regardless of whether the content of the discussion is related to your major or not, you have to feel your presence..."

What Xiang Shan was talking about was what he had discussed with Yawgmoth, Ingrid, and David before, about alien language, society and other messy topics.Both Ingrid and David have written about it in their regular reports since then, and extended it a bit.In addition, the two men also mentioned the names of Xiang Shan and Yawgmoth.

It's not that Xiang Shan doesn't want to mention it in his regular report, but the task he has in hand now is to sort out and study the remains of an alien machine.For a while, he couldn't find a reason to mention this...

"And it really won't be called fishing..." Xiang Shan muttered.

"If you put forward a conjecture that coincides with other people's research results, then no one cares whether you are doing foreign work. If this kind of thing really happens, then you will encounter occasions where you need to show your qualifications in the future , you can say 'I put forward the research result about aliens first'." Jing Hongtu said: "And you can definitely open a small chapter and write 'My thoughts on alien civilization', No one will think that you, as a scholar of engineering, cannot discuss matters of alien civilization. Moreover, this is a large multi-field cooperation project."

Xiang Shan scratched his head: "But this report will have to be screened by the team leader above me. If he thinks my conjecture... Bah, it's not a conjecture, it's just a brain hole! If he thinks my conjecture... The brain hole is interesting enough to enter into a higher-level report."

"This is where the qualifications are interesting. You don't necessarily need this 'raised' conjecture to be uploaded layer by layer in the report, and finally reach the hands of the relevant researchers. As long as it is recorded. This kind of Qualifications are not meant for people in the academic circle to read." Jing Hongtu took a sip of coffee: "Besides, this kind of content will be specially sorted out and compiled into files in the future. Although no one is reading it now, it is hard to guarantee that it will not Scholars of related majors accidentally found it when they were looking for inspiration in the pile of old papers. Then you will make a lot of money.”

"It doesn't really make sense..."

"Who knows? What if? If you don't accumulate a few steps, you can reach a thousand miles. Who would think that this kind of free 'steps' is too much?" Jing Hongtu said: "This is actually the difference in thinking between you and your teacher. Yes. After you know that 'Ogun' lacks direct technical value, especially the technical value that can be put into national defense, you regard the Rama project as an academic activity in your heart. But Professor Liu doesn't see it that way. In his eyes, this is first and foremost a government-backed project, but the location is overseas."

"You think that this kind of thing may not be helpful to your own research work in the future, but he realizes that the qualifications obtained in this kind of project may provide a slight advantage when applying for funding in the future."

Xiang Shan bowed his head: "Ah, this..."

"Of course, if you don't do this, there are advantages to not doing so. Both Granat and Klein behaved like gentlemen. If you appear noble in this regard, it will be easy for you to gain the favor of a scholar like them." Jing Hongtu continued. : "They are the group of scholars with the highest level in the park, and they are also very active in the research of aliens. They will probably choose to stay. If you want to stay and work, you can only maintain a good relationship with them. benefit."

Xiang Shan laughed: "You're always like this, you're the only one who says the right thing and the irony."

"I'm just like this, the world is like this, you can figure it out if you think it over and over again. You have to be optimistic." Jing Hongtu laughed and said, "But, have you really thought about it? In this place, in this uncertain project, bet on yourself for the next ten years?"

Xiang Shan's spirit faltered.

The reason why he came to talk to Jing Hongtu about this matter was because of Lao Liu's advice.

"It's a good thing that Lao Jing can chat with you." That's what Lao Liu said, "If you really want to stay, just say a few more words about this in front of him—tsk, you have to say it yourself .Also, it can’t be a formal occasion. In private, when chatting, find a way to mention this to him! Find an entry point and be natural!”

According to Lao Liu, Jing Hongtu probably has something to say about Xiang Shan's going and staying.Although on the surface, Jing Hongtu's position in the park is only half a rank higher than that of Lao Liu, and he has no other positions, but the affairs in the park are not limited to the small temple "in the park".

Xiang Shan didn't know what background Jing Hongtu had, even Old Liu couldn't tell.But since Old Liu said so...

Xiang Shan also came.He also "resentfully" said what Lao Liu said about himself.

In fact, the core of the whole dialogue is "I want to stay".

"That's an alien!"

"Although you write science fiction, life is not science fiction."

Xiang Shan said: "I think it is very meaningful to understand the machines of aliens."

"Of course it makes sense."

"No, what I mean is...it is very meaningful to my personal ambition." Xiang Shan said: "I still remember when you first met me, I told you about my previous research direction."

"Well, 3D printing, industrial foundation. You spoke very well, and taught me a lesson for an old liberal arts student."

Xiang Shan was a little embarrassed: "I can't talk about whether I will attend classes or not. In short, it is... ah, although the appraisal results have not yet come out, there are many indications that the time when those mechanical wreckages were produced is not consistent, and it is much later than Austrian. The construction time of the tribute shell. Inside the Ogun, the robot may be updated through multiple self-replications."

"In other words, these robots, without the assistance of intelligent creatures, have carried out self-replication and replacement many times with extremely crude means. They must have a kind of almost universal industrial mother machine that can produce a variety of parts. I think this is something that can rewrite the industrial landscape of the planet."

Jing Hongtu nodded and said nothing.

A few weeks later, Lao Liu returned home.And Xiang Shan is no longer a student or an assistant, but a scholar participating in this project about civilization.
