Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2305 Relying on one's own strength to speak

After listening to Niu Xiaoqiang's request, Professor Simpson was quite surprised: "Niu Xiaoqiang, why are you suddenly interested in scientific research? Also, what technology do you want to develop?"

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and covered up: "Professor, I have always been very interested in scientific research, but because I have been busy with my career, I don't have much time for research. Now that I can finally spare time, I naturally want to devote myself to the research I am interested in." Let's get on with things."

When he said this, he changed the subject: "As for the technology I plan to develop, please forgive me for keeping it secret for the time being, but I can assure you that I will never use public affairs for personal gain. As long as this technology is developed, I will use the physics department Publishing papers in the name of the school, and using this technology as a basis, will bring a lot of sponsorship funds to the school, and the school will gain both fame and fortune by then, and it will definitely not suffer.”

Simpson saw that Niu Xiaoqiang was so mysterious that he didn't even want to tell him the content of the research and development, so he couldn't help but feel more and more curious.

But he didn't ask too much, but nodded slightly: "Okay, I can agree to your request, and please do what you just said, otherwise I won't be able to explain to other students and teachers. .”

The Department of Physics is a large department at MIT, and there is an endless stream of people applying for experiments every day. Even if Simpson tried his best, he couldn't arrange it.

Now Niu Xiaoqiang wants to gain privileges and occupy the right to use various key laboratories in the Department of Physics for a long time. This will inevitably affect other students, Mr. He's experiments. Niu Xiaoqiang don't break his promise, secondly, he wants to urge Niu Xiaoqiang to do experiments faster, so as not to waste too much time for other people.

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately nodded in agreement, and after thanking the professor several times, he came to the laboratory management office with the document signed by the professor himself.

The staff of the management office reviewed the document, and after confirming that it was correct, they went through the relevant procedures for Niu Xiaoqiang.Then Niu Xiaoqiang took the documents and came to the Comprehensive Research Office of the Department of Physics, where he planned to choose two capable experimental assistants for himself.

No matter which country's laboratory, the position of assistant is very sad.When doing experiments, the assistants are usually on the front line, and the leader of the experiments usually just hand over the experimental tasks, and then wait for the assistants to help him finish the experiment.

After the experimental results come out, the results belong to the leader, the paper also belongs to the leader, and all the honors belong to the leader, and have nothing to do with the assistant.Even if a certain result is discovered by you, it is very likely that the result will be snatched away by the leader of the experiment after it comes out, and you have no place to reason.

If you meet a leader with a little conscience, you will also add the name of the assistant at the end of the experiment report or thesis. If you meet those leaders with a darker heart, the assistant will become completely invisible.Even if you do the hardest and most tiring work, you will not have a bright future, and all the honors have nothing to do with you.

Because of this, the post of assistant is nicknamed "research dog" in the scientific research circle. Their nature is similar to those slaves in ancient society, and they have no human rights at all. Still be a slave to others.

The reason is mainly because science is a subject that pays much attention to talent and qualifications.If a person wants to lead an experiment, he must have high talent and qualifications, and must have a strong reputation.

If you can't prepare yourself with dissertations when you are a student, it will be difficult for you to get ahead after graduation.

Because of this, many college students have to work as assistants to famous tutors just to pass the review of graduation thesis.Once they graduate from university, most of them will choose to find a place to work, and only those who are confident in themselves will stay and continue to work as assistants.

Of course, the salary of an assistant in a laboratory in the United States is very good, so even if the work is very hard and there are no human rights to speak of, there are still people who are willing to take up this profession.

When Niu Xiaoqiang entered the research room, the people inside were gathering in small groups to discuss their respective scientific research topics.

The so-called research room is actually an office shared by the assistants. Those famous tutors and professors have their own private offices, and they will not work together with the assistants.

When the assistants are not busy, they will stay in the research room to look up information or sort out experimental ideas, and they can also communicate with each other.Since there are no tutors and professors, it is relatively easy for them to stay here.

Niu Xiaoqiang's arrival did not cause any fluctuations. This is not to say that he lacked attention, but that everyone was very engaged in chatting, and no one noticed Niu Xiaoqiang's arrival.

Niu Xiaoqiang coughed and said with an apologetic smile: "Hello everyone, I am Niu Xiaoqiang. I am here today to select assistants. This is the approval letter from Professor Simpson."

Niu Xiaoqiang first explained his purpose of coming, and showed the documents specially approved by Professor Simpson to prove his legal compliance.

After everyone else focused their attention on him, he continued: "I am going to start a scientific research, and I need two assistants. If anyone is willing to follow me, he can submit an application by himself, or he can be an assistant. To recommend myself to me, I make a promise to everyone, as long as the person who becomes my assistant, I promise not to treat him badly."

He looked at his watch at this point, and then continued: "I am in a hurry, and I will only give you half an hour to think about it from now on. This is the only chance, and those who have not applied for more than half an hour will lose this opportunity." One more chance, well, start counting now."

Although Niu Xiaoqiang was smiling, his attitude seemed a little domineering.This is not to say that he does not respect these experimental assistants, but that American society is like this. In many cases, you cannot get the approval of others with a good attitude, but you have to rely on your own strength to speak.

Speaking of strength, Niu Xiaoqiang is definitely enough. He has become a legendary existence in MIT. You may not know who the president of MIT is, but it is impossible not to know who Niu Xiaoqiang is.

More than 20 assistants all stared blankly at Niu Xiaoqiang, and it took a while for everyone to react. After more than 20 people looked at each other, a middle-aged man spoke first.
