Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 18: Mathematics Department, cough cough, unusual brain circuits

Zhou Jianbin acted very quickly.

He was afraid that Luo Yongjun would go back on his word, so he immediately asked his administrative secretary Guo Jun to draft a work agreement, and then he went to find Luo Yongjun with Guo Jun.

They first went to the East Three Teaching Building.

After waiting for Luo Yongjun in the office for a long time without seeing him, I simply made a phone call to ask, and only then did I find out that Luo Yongjun was in the No. 2 laboratory building.

Zhou Jianbin entered the laboratory building and found the computer room on the fourth floor.

The door to the computer room was open.

Zhou Jianbin and Guo Jun walked in together, looked around, and saw Luo Yongjun sitting in front of a computer in the corner. He waved and called out, "Professor Luo!"

"exist!"

Luo Yongjun looked up, then stood up and greeted him, "Professor Zhou, this is..."

"Guo Jun, administrative secretary, in charge of personnel matters in the office."

Zhou Jianbin briefly introduced himself, then noticed Zhang Shuo in the corner, walked over and said with a smile, "You are Zhang Shuo, right?"

"Hello."

Zhang Shuo raised his head and replied, his eyes sweeping towards Luo Yongjun.

Luo Yongjun also helped to introduce it.

Zhou Jianbin was obviously interested in Zhang Shuo. He took the initiative to find a topic, "Your report at the Capital Experimental Base was really wonderful!"

"Although I was not at the scene, I heard from people who came back that even Academician Gao Hongli was full of praise for him. He is young and promising! He is really young and promising!"

"When I was your age, I was still studying for a master's degree..."

Zhou Jianbin kept saying nice things, and actually, it was what he thought in his heart. It was not strange to study for a doctorate at the age of 24, but it was also considered young among doctoral students in mathematics.

It is a remarkable thing that the research report you made during your doctoral studies was praised by academicians.

Not to mention, he also relied on research to get the project from the Institute of High Energy Physics.

There are doctoral students who can achieve such achievements, but they usually appear in other professional fields, such as computer science, chemistry, etc.

These are areas that are directly related to applications.

If you have results with extremely high application value, you may be able to get big projects or high sponsorship, and some may even be able to sell high-value patents.

In the field of mathematics, I have never heard of it.

Even for doctoral supervisors and professors in mathematics, most of the projects they handle have funding of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Many doctoral students will delay their graduation because of their dissertations, not to mention getting any projects based on their personal research results.

"Central anchor point connection analysis data simulation bias."

"Looking at the project name, it seems to be related to experimental data analysis, and it is more in the direction of mathematics and computer science. The Institute of Science and Engineering is the right place to do it."

“What a great student!”

"It's a pity to follow Luo Yongjun..."

Zhou Jianbin sighed regretfully, then turned to Luo Yongjun and said, "Professor Luo, the agreement is ready."

Guo Jun handed over the agreement.

Luo Yongjun took it and looked down at it.

Zhou Jianbin introduced, "This is the formal work agreement of the institute. After signing the agreement, you can start working with the new postdocs in three months."

"Of course, Professor Luo, you are a doctoral supervisor at the school, so your treatment is definitely different from that of ordinary postdoctoral fellows. You will be a specially appointed researcher at the beginning, and after half a year or a year, you can be promoted to a full researcher."

"The institute values ​​you very much, especially Vice President Sheng. This is not just lip service."

He threw out the bait of signing the agreement, "Before I came, Vice President Sheng specifically said that he would give you a signing fee."

"Not much, 20,000 yuan!"

"This also represents the sincerity of the institute..."

After saying this, Luo Yongjun hesitated.

He looked through the contract carefully and asked doubtfully, "I haven't started working yet, and it's not marked on the contract. It's not good to take the money, right?"

"It is impossible to include a signing fee in a work agreement."

Guo Jun stepped forward to explain, "The signing fee has been negotiated and will be allocated directly from the finance department as a necessary expense for talent introduction."

"That's it."

Zhou Jianbin nodded and smiled, "Look at those athletes. They can get signing fees when they sign contracts. This shows that the club values ​​the athletes. It's the same for us. The club values ​​you, so they give you a signing fee when you sign the contract."

"All right!"

Luo Yongjun rubbed his hands vigorously, and after confirming again and again that there was no problem, he signed the agreement.

Both sides shook hands and were happy.

Zhou Jianbin left excitedly with Guo Jun.

Luo Yongjun kept pointing his fingers and muttering, "An extra 20,000 yuan in signing fees, what a pleasant surprise, what a pleasant surprise!"

He couldn't hold back the smile on his face, he felt like he had won the lottery.

Zhang Shuo had been standing nearby. He didn't know what he felt. It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had seen such a guy.

He has understood.

Zhou Jianbin was attracted by the name of the project and wanted to recruit Luo Yongjun to the Institute of Science and Engineering. Luo Yongjun pretended not to know and signed the contract with the other party.

The other party also gave a signing fee.

Zhang Shuo took a deep breath and said with complicated eyes, "Teacher Luo, congratulations, you will be able to get two salaries in the future."

Luo Yongjun laughed, "Did you understand? This guy just wants the name of the project and wants to take advantage of us!"

“Three months later, the project was completed!”

"By then, I bet he will definitely terminate the contract with me. I don't have any projects on hand, so wouldn't it be a waste of money if I went in?"

“High, really high!”

Zhang Shuo gave Luo Yongjun a thumbs up, thought carefully and reminded him, "Will there be any problem with the signing fee? It's not in the contract..."

"What is the problem!"

Luo Yongjun walked to a computer in the corner, turned off the camera, and said with a smile, "I have been prepared for this and have recorded it."

"Even if it ends up in school or in court, I'm not afraid!"

Zhang Shuo took a deep breath again and sighed, "You are the one who is so perfect. Teacher Luo, there are so many things I can learn from you!"

……

After Zhou Jianbin's little episode, Zhang Shuo continued with the module splitting work at hand.

Luo Yongjun is responsible for subcontracting and distributing the programs.

The module splitting must be thought through carefully, and no major loopholes should occur. The functions of each program subpackage must also be labeled so that the people who complete the program subpackage can understand the meaning.

This way you don't have to explain them one by one.

Zhang Shuo worked until 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to the dormitory to rest. When he came back the next morning, he found that the computer room was already very busy.

Several people were surrounding Luo Yongjun.

Luo Yongjun introduced the project work status, "The framework of the entire algorithm has been set up, and what needs to be completed is to do these program subcontracts."

"There are functional packages and algorithm packages, some are difficult and some are easy..."

A few people were a little disappointed.

They also think that by joining the project, they can work for a few months or a year and maybe even achieve some results?
Luo Yongjun doesn't think so. If the project takes a long time, the process needs to be strictly controlled, and there are some contents that need to be researched and explored, it is definitely better to find someone to join the project.

Their project was completed in a month, and there was no need to involve other people in depth.

Luo Yongjun would not say it directly. He just explained, "Too many people came to me. There is no other way. This way everyone has work to do."

Several people agreed that it was right.

Everyone can be taken care of and they don't have to fight over anything.

Luo Yongjun gave a brief introduction and then began to talk about the content in detail. He demonstrated three classic program sub-packages. "I said, some are difficult and some are easy."

"The harder ones are 1000, the easier ones are 300, and the normal ones are 500 each."

"Everyone can take a look at the content first to see if it can be done and whether it is worth doing. If you are interested, you can take the task."

Zhang Shuo grinned as he heard this.

罗勇军果然是黄世仁，他的定价是1200、800和400，现在就变成了1000、500和300。

He didn't think Luo Yongjun was making money by reselling it.

All project reimbursements had to be signed by him, and he worked in the computer room, so it was impossible for him to keep it secret.

Maybe they thought the price was high, so they subconsciously pushed it down.

Luo Yongjun indeed thought so. After carefully looking at the difficulty of program subcontracting, he felt that Zhang Shuo’s pricing was too high.

Those difficult program subcontracts can be completed by people with high skills in a few hours.

The project has sufficient funds, but we should save as much as possible.

In the School of Mathematics, many professors receive a fixed salary, and it makes no difference whether they have projects or not. Who would refuse to make extra money?

There is no problem with Luo Yongjun's judgment.

Several professors looked at the difficulty of program subcontracting and without even considering it, they patted their chests and shouted, "This is a good job. Give a few of us a try!"

"I have four PhDs and seven Masters under me. Bring me ten difficult ones!"

“This is also a training opportunity for students!”

"Give me a few more!"

Most of the marked program subcontracts were quickly distributed because Luo Yongjun set a limit of one week to complete them, otherwise there would be nothing left.

There is some left now, but it won’t last long.

Zhang Shuo found that the work pressure was on him, so he quickly turned on his computer and started to split the modules.

……

The project officially started and more people started to come to the computer room.

Some professors received program subcontracts and simply tried to work on them nearby. Some doctoral students also came here to work, and the dozen or so computers were always fully occupied.

In the first two days, the person who had the most leisure was Luo Yongjun. After he subcontracted and dispatched the program, he crossed his legs and drank coffee.

By the third day, Zhang Shuo became the person with the most free time.

He worked overtime to complete the module splitting work.

Then, you can wait.

After all the program subcontracts are completed, he will continue with the finishing work, conduct overall debugging, and then improve the input and output ends.

The input end is relatively simple, you just need to write the corresponding basic code, because it also needs to be connected with the experimental data of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

At that time, we can let the Institute of High Energy Physics do the remaining work.

The output end is relatively complicated because the compared data is very complex, so it is necessary to make partition drawings according to the program debugging results.

Drawing is the most basic output method.

If the Institute of High Energy Physics requires a more intuitive output method, such as comparing animations or building models, they will need to do it themselves.

It’s not that Zhang Shuo can’t do it, it’s that the hardware configuration can’t keep up.

Even with the server provided by the school, it is impossible to simulate the input and output process of the program. An extremely large server is required to barely keep up.

Zhang Shuo was idle the whole day.

When I was about to leave at around nine o'clock in the evening, I discovered that in addition to Luo Yongjun's computer, there was another computer with a light on.

He walked over and took a look, and was a little surprised, "Chen Lanjun...senior sister?"

"Zhang Shuo!"

Chen Lanjun turned around with a smile, "I saw you just now. You were so absorbed in your studies that I didn't bother you."

"Uh~~~"

"I'm watching a movie."

Zhang Shuo glanced at the computer screen and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Are you also making program packages?"

"My mentor took the job."

Chen Lanjun explained, "He said if you are interested, you can make one and get more subsidies. I asked around and came here."

She said with a smile, "It feels pretty good."

"I majored in mathematics and computer science. After graduation, I may become an algorithm engineer. Now I am learning by doing algorithm work."

"Do you want to continue? It's already nine o'clock."

Zhang Shuo indicated that it was already late.

Chen Lanjun checked the time, raised her head and glanced at Zhang Shuo again. Suddenly her face turned red. She hesitated and said, "You wore this coat when you were in the capital, and you still wear this coat now. I guess you don't know how to wash clothes, right?"

"How about this, I'll take it back and wash it for you!"

As she spoke, she was about to help Zhang Shuo take off his coat.

Before Zhang Shuo could react, Chen Lanjun grabbed his arm and pulled his coat off.

She ran out quickly with the clothes in her hand, not forgetting to ask, "Please save the things in the computer for me!"

"Uh~~~"

Zhang Shuo was stunned for a long time, but he still helped Chen Lanjun save it. Then he walked to the window and opened it, and a cool breeze suddenly blew in from outside.

He shuddered on the spot.

"That girl likes you, right?"

Luo Yongjun suddenly appeared behind him, touched his forehead and analyzed, "But it's not surprising that she is so impatient when doing things. A girl who studies mathematics..."

"Cough cough."

"Some of the brain circuits are really unusual!"

"Zhang Shuo, what do you think?"

Zhang Shuo glanced out the window again and said depressedly, "My coat was taken away!"

"that's all?"

"Yeah, what else can I do!" Zhang Shuo sighed, and then said, "Teacher Luo, I'll help you wash your clothes too."

Before Luo Yongjun could react, Zhang Shuo picked up the coat on the table and ran out. When he got to the corridor, he turned back and shouted, "Teacher Luo, I wash clothes very quickly. I'll give it to you tomorrow morning!"

Luo Yongjun stood there in a daze for a long time.

He also walked to the window and stretched out his hand to feel the cool breeze. He took a deep breath and suddenly felt like crying, "It's past nine o'clock, it's very cold outside!"

"You just go back to the dormitory, I want to go home!"
