Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 21 This is the correct way to use research coins!
"Professor Luo, don't be anxious, sit down and rest first."

"You guys completed this project too quickly. It's only been a week since we received the funding? And you've already applied for acceptance?"

"I can't decide, please understand..."

"Director Wang said she'll be here soon!"

Zhou Jianxin continued to comfort Luo Yongjun.

Luo Yongjun had a gloomy face the whole time and didn't say a word. He kept thinking about the way Zhou Jianxin addressed him.

Luo Da Rou?
This is so disrespectful!
Wang Duoju came soon.

She rushed into the office, greeted Luo Yongjun and asked about the situation.

Then she immediately called Zhang Shuo.

Luo Yongjun muttered in dissatisfaction, "Didn't I say it's already completed? The backend has already applied for acceptance. Can't you just approve it?"

Wang Duoju turned her head and said seriously, "This is Zhang Shuo's project."

Now Luo Yongjun was speechless.

Zhang Shuo was in class and did not answer the phone. After class, after seeing Wang Duoju's message, he simply ran to the administration building.

Offices in the administration building.

Luo Yongjun pouted in dissatisfaction.

The others looked at Zhang Shuo with curiosity. Wang Duoju asked directly, "Zhang Shuo, I heard from Professor Luo that your project is completed?"

Zhang Shuo nodded, "Just finished, the report is also written."

Even though they knew Zhang Shuo's answer, people in the office were still surprised.

"Why so fast!"

Zhou Jianxin couldn't help but shout out, "That's a million-dollar project. The funding period is one year, and I think it's too little!"

“This type of project usually takes more than two or three years.”

"If it takes more than two or three years, the Institute of High Energy Physics will not let us do it," Zhang Shuo explained. "What is valuable about this project is the groundbreaking research and brand-new analysis methods, not the software programming or the amount of code."

"I already have the core algorithm for my research, and the project is just about perfecting the content, so of course the speed is very fast."

"The professors at the college also helped a lot. We completed more than 200 program subcontracts within a week..."

Zhou Jianxin and Wang Duoju looked at each other.

They still don't quite understand.

Many research projects in mathematics and computer science are like this, but it still takes a long time, especially projects funded by the National Research Fund, which are difficult and have low funding, and take a long time.

Wang Duoju pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, since you've confirmed it, we'll modify the status and let the Institute of High Energy prepare for acceptance."

"it is good."

After Zhang Shuo finished talking about the project, he left with Luo Yongjun.

Luo Yongjun kept complaining that the administration didn't trust him and scolded Zhou Jianxin for a long time, which made Zhang Shuo feel a little strange.

Zhou Jianxin?
How did that guy offend Teacher Luo?
the other side.

Wang Duoju personally operated the project management background and passed the acceptance application of the 'Central Anchor Point Connection Analysis Experiment Simulation Deviation' project.

She asked Zhou Jianxin to contact the project management of the Institute of High Energy Physics, while she went to the Institute of Scientific and Engineering Computing.

In the director's office, she found Vice President Sheng Zhenhua.

Sheng Zhenhua is in charge of the college's talent introduction work. The theme of the internal meeting held two weeks ago was talent introduction work.

Wang Duoju talked about Zhang Shuo's project as soon as she entered the room. "Their project has been completed. The next step is to have the Institute of High Energy Physics accept it."

“Two weeks, just two weeks, to complete a million-dollar project!”

Her tone was full of shock and exclamation.

Sheng Zhenhua was stunned. He frowned and asked again, "Are you talking about Zhang Shuo? The doctoral student supervised by Luo Yongjun? Has their project been completed?"

"The application has been accepted."

Wang Duoju took a deep breath and continued, "I came here to talk about Zhang Shuo's problem. I think talents like Zhang Shuo must stay in school. He is a doctoral student now, but he will most likely work in other institutions after graduation."

“For example, the Institute of High Energy Physics.”

"He got a project from the Institute of High Energy Physics, which will definitely value him. He may sign a work agreement with them very soon."

The situation Wang Duoju described is very practical.

A doctoral student who gets a big project from a scientific research institution early on will definitely be valued by the relevant scientific research institution, and it will be natural for him to work in the relevant institution after graduation.

Sheng Zhenhua thought about it and said, "You mean, we should keep Zhang Shuo in the School of Mathematics?"

Wang Duoju nodded.

That's what she meant.

The outstanding talents cultivated in the university will either go abroad for further studies or stay in school to teach. It would be a pity for someone like Zhang Shuo to be poached by other research institutions.

Sheng Zhenhua thought about it carefully, "It's a bit early to say this now. The school stipulates that a doctorate must be completed over three years, and a doctorate in mathematics generally takes four years. He's only in his first year..."

"Be prepared early. I just came here to talk."

Wang Duoju also knew that it was a bit early, but talent discovery must be prepared early. What decision Sheng Zhenhua made after knowing the situation had nothing to do with her.

After Wang Duoju left, Sheng Zhenhua sat in meditation for a moment, then he picked up the phone and dialed a number.

He only said one sentence, "Professor Zhou, Zhang Shuo's project has been submitted for acceptance."

Zhou Jianbin was chatting with Deng Qiang in the office.

He was stunned when he heard the content on the phone. After a long while, he stood up suddenly and roared, "So you were waiting for me here!"

"You, Luo Yongjun, Luo Darou, are nothing!"

"How could this be possible..."

He cursed for a long time before angrily explaining to Deng Qiang, "Zhang Shuo's project has been completed and submitted for acceptance."

"Luo Yongjun must know that the project will be completed quickly, so he is waiting to cheat us!" "No, I'll go find him!"

As he was about to leave, Deng Qiang grabbed him.

Deng Qiang was also surprised. He smiled bitterly and advised, "It's useless to talk to him. He didn't even mention the project during the discussion, right?"

"The truth is on their side..."

Zhou Jianbin sat down again angrily.

He also knew that it was useless to go find Luo Yongjun. The other party clearly knew that the institute wanted the project and deliberately cooperated and signed the agreement.

There is no project in the agreement at all.

Sheng Zhenhua walked to the door and said, "Professor Zhou, you have to pay Luo Yongjun's signing fee yourself."

"Also, find some time to negotiate a contract with him. The institute's funding is tight, and there's no room for other researchers."

……

Once the project is completed, it is time for acceptance review.

Zhang Shuo also felt very relaxed.

In his spare time, he continued to stay in the computer room. After the project was completed, the computer room became very quiet.

Luo Yongjun uses this place as his office.

There is also a teacher in his early thirties who comes here frequently. He is Sun Xingli, a young associate professor at the school. He graduated from the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berlehn and joined the school through the talent introduction channel of Soochow University. His main research areas are analytic number theory and representation theory.

While working on the project, Sun Xingli created several difficult algorithm packages and also became acquainted with Zhang Shuo and Luo Yongjun.

Now that the project is completed, he will come and sit at the computer in the corner.

Then, stay there for several hours.

"My office is too noisy," Sun Xingli explained. "It's quiet here, and I can use the computers for free."

"You think this is a free internet cafe, right?"

Zhang Shuo glanced at Sun Xingli's computer screen and found that it was a large online game interface.

Sun Xingli laughed nonchalantly, "If you can't figure out a research question, you might get some inspiration by playing games. When I was doing my doctorate, I got inspiration while playing games, and then I found the research direction and wrote a good paper."

"up to you."

Zhang Shuo shook his head indifferently. He looked at the paper materials in his hand and continued to think about the research problem of "Universal Algorithm for Elliptic Equations".

The progress prompts of system tasks can help researchers find the right direction.

However, if the content is not expected, the research will still be stuck.

In the past week, he only thought about it occasionally and incorporated the "equation transformation method" into his research, and found that the progress was directly improved by "29%".

To a certain extent, the problem of determining the asymptotic solution has been solved.

Now the progress has risen to '36.601%', which is satisfactory. However, since we can't think of the next step, the progress has not risen any further.

“That’s how research works.”

"Even with the help of the system, the problem will still happen..."

Zhang Shuo shook his head depressedly.

Luo Yongjun was sitting leisurely cutting his nails. He turned his head and saw Zhang Shuo's expression. He asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? You look so serious."

"A study."

"That super-difficult universal algorithm?"

Zhang Shuo nodded slightly.

Luo Yongjun immediately became interested. He said, "What problem have you encountered? Tell me and I will help you analyze it. Maybe I can find an idea."

His eyes sparkled with excitement.

Zhang Shuo was his doctoral student, but he hardly ever gave any guidance. Isn't the job of a doctoral supervisor to guide doctoral students?
Now, here's your chance!
No matter how outstanding a doctoral student is, he or she is still a doctoral student and still needs a doctoral supervisor to guide him or her.

Sun Xingli also turned his head and said, "Tell me about it. Let me hear it."

Zhang Shuo explained, "My research is to find a general algorithm for second-order elliptic partial differential equations. The overall idea is to substitute numerical methods, find boundary values, and reduce the area for calculation."

"Now the problem is to find the boundary value. How can we calculate and find the boundary value that is closer to the solution based on the parameters of the equation?"

Luo Yongjun and Sun Xingli looked at each other.

Luo Yongjun looked at Zhang Shuo seriously, pursed his lips and said, "Zhang Shuo, for research problems like this, you still have to figure it out yourself."

"Other people's thoughts are their own, and what you think is your own."

"come on!"

"I suddenly remembered that a student is looking for me... I'm leaving first." He stood up and rushed out quickly.

Sun Xingli glanced at Luo Yongjun who was walking away, thought about it carefully, and gave a similar suggestion to Li Weihua, "You can look at the information on fuzzy mathematics."

Zhang Shuo pursed his lips tightly, but he was not discouraged.

Since the system can establish research tasks and the difficulty rating is only C, it means that it can definitely be completed.

He opened the system interface to check the tasks, and suddenly noticed a sentence he had been ignoring, "The remaining progress requires 64 scientific research coins?"

"It only takes 64 points to complete it..."

"What if it costs 1 point?"

Zhang Shuo's eyes lit up as he was thinking about it. He tried to use a scientific research coin to purchase the task progress. The next moment, he felt that his mind was suddenly opened up.

"Thinking of a parameter evaluation algorithm can solve the boundary value problem to a certain extent and make it closer to human brain thinking..."

"I see!"

"You don't have to buy all the research coins to make progress. When your research is stuck, just invest a research coin to open up new ideas..."

“This is the correct way to use research coins!”
