In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 63: The principal just told me to take bigger steps, but you don’t even give me a little help?

"President, our school has a control science and engineering discipline, and we even recruited graduate students this year. That discipline is related to aerospace."

Xie Wei's mind works very quickly.

Harbin Institute of Technology's control science and engineering discipline is the earliest automatic control discipline in China.

As early as 1955, the school had begun training graduate students in automatic control, gyroscopes, and instrumentation.

This year, the subject has enrolled graduate students.

"Do you think Xie Rou is suitable for taking classes with graduate students and doing experiments with them?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows. "Control Science and Engineering is a discipline that requires the most basic professional knowledge. Xie Rou is less than 14, right?"

"If we're just talking about the theoretical foundations of each subject, Xie Rou has no problem. Her foundation is better than most of the experimental class."

Xie Wei has the most say in Xie Rou's foundation.

Xie Rou is going to join the experimental class, and she will absolutely kill her way through the basic courses of each major in the experimental class.

It will make the whole class suspect that they might be fools.

"What's the problem?"

"interest!"

Xie Wei stared at Li Rui and said through gritted teeth.

He didn't know Li Rui's attitude towards students' interests.

The college entrance examination had just been resumed and the country was in urgent need of people everywhere.

For colleges and universities that recruit students, all students will be arranged for study and assignment by the school. No one cares about their personal wishes and interests.

Xie Wei is well aware that with excellent teachers, students can go further if they have personal interest.

In Xie Wei's era, many people were discussing whether the number one child prodigy would still become a monk if USTC had astronomy at that time.

Xie Rou is about the same age as the first child prodigy and has a very strong learning ability.

"Student Xie Wei, it is rare for young people to be steady. But under the appearance of being steady, being too slick will be detrimental to one's future personal development."

Li Rui looked at Xie Wei and sighed helplessly.

From the moment Xie Wei entered school, the school has always been paying attention to him: he is capable, steady, but also too cautious, and even slippery at times.

The most typical example is that before entering school, Xu Zhihui blocked the letter of introduction and the transfer of relationships, and it was impossible to register on time. In this case, Xie Wei did not take drastic measures, but Xie Jianguo used unspeakable means to solve the problem.

"..."

Xie Wei could understand what Li Rui meant.

He couldn't explain it.

From an era of sound legal system to an era when legal system construction has just started and is not even understood, unless you are really a greenhorn.

Problems can easily arise if you are not careful.

As a person in the field of science and technology, Xie Wei has achieved financial freedom, but he stays at home to accompany his two children to study. Is that what he wants?

"Do you know why there are no majors in the experimental class?"

Seeing that Xie Wei didn't speak, Li Rui didn't force him and continued to ask.

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Xie Wei didn't say them out loud, and simply shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Looking at Xie Wei's reaction, Li Rui sighed again in his heart. This kid is unwilling to open up!
"More than ten years ago, the school had the idea of ​​opening an experimental class. At that time, during the process of developing various technologies, we found that many cutting-edge technologies require developers to have interdisciplinary basic knowledge."

“The experimental class courses are difficult because they are not for training engineers, but for training leaders of scientific research projects!”

"During the basic course stage, while letting everyone make up for their basics, it is also to let everyone understand where their strengths and interests lie. So, do you think that the school pays attention to the interests of gifted students?"

"..."

Li Rui's words made Xie Wei realize: Why did Harbin Institute of Technology develop to that level even though it had only ten majors when the college entrance examination was just resumed, and it did not have the funding like famous universities like Peking University and Tsinghua University, and it did not have the national competition for top scorers in the college entrance examination!

The school leaders more than ten years ago had such foresight, and their successors as principals not only implemented it firmly, but also proposed corresponding improvements based on changes in the environment.

It would be unjust if we don't develop.

"Principal, I understand."

"Got it? You don't understand!"

Li Rui looked at Xie Wei, his face became serious, "Catfish effect, you know?"

How could he not know? But Xie Wei still shook his head, pretending not to know.

"Those who can be admitted to university from 610 million people are all chosen by heaven. Those who enter Harbin Institute of Technology are even better. The experimental class belongs to the tallest of the tall. In the ordinary class, it is like a catfish put into a sardine pond. The catfish is too big, and the sardines can't escape. Even if they don't escape, the catfish can't eat enough. You are the shark in the catfish pond, and you have to chase the catfish..."

"This will dampen their enthusiasm for learning..."

Xie Wei murmured.

"Don't think too badly of your classmates! Even though they are struggling to study, who has fallen behind? Who has given up? You can't even handle this little bit of pressure, and you're still a project leader!"

After Li Rui finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and threw one to Xie Wei.

He took out an old Zippo lighter with mottled paint from his pocket, lit it with a "click", and then threw the lighter to Xie Wei.

"I give you the spoils from the battlefield."

"???"

Give benefits for no reason?
You don’t have to think about which battlefield it is where Zippo can be seized.

This thing is definitely a treasure for the big guys who have been to the battlefield.

Just give it to yourself so easily?
"Principal, I cannot accept something so valuable."

"What's so unacceptable? Back then, the planes, tanks, and cannons of the coalition forces overwhelmed us. Young people, pay more attention and get some advanced planes, tanks, and cannons. Don't spend all your energy on technologies that have nothing to do with the military... Also, tomorrow, you will do the ideological work on Xie Rou. She will be the shark of the 79th experimental class!"

"..."

Xie Wei didn't know how he got out of Li Rui's office.

Li Rui's words made him think more.

At the same time, I am more convinced that the bigwigs of this era are all extremely shrewd, and I have to be more cautious and low-key.

Li Rui’s statement, “Don’t focus all your energy on technologies that have nothing to do with the military,” is even more nonsensical.

How can I make Xie Wei stop thinking about it?
At present, Harbin Institute of Technology is only related to atomic energy and military industry brought back by Shancheng University of Technology which moved back in 74.

Where have you demonstrated your ability to research and develop military technology?
Harbin Institute of Technology has already begun to establish military industry majors?
"Squad leader, what are you thinking about? You look so absorbed! Why don't you go to the radio?"

After Xie Wei returned to the classroom, he had not yet recovered from Li Rui's words.

Mo Lingyu called out twice in succession, but no one heard it.

"Yeah, let's go."

He didn't answer Mo Lingyu's other questions and went directly to the Radio Engineering Department with her.

At this moment, the Radio Engineering Department had only one professional class, which belonged to the Physics Department.

"Using integrated circuits to process signal reception and amplification? It's a good idea. It can also make communication equipment more convenient to carry."

In the Wireless Engineering Laboratory, Associate Professor Han Yong praised Xie Wei's ideas after listening to them.

"Professor Han, please stop praising your idea. How much support can the radio engineering department give?"

Han Yong praised but never mentioned any support.

"Support? There is not enough human support."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Han Yong could only say this.

"..."

Looking at Han Yong, Xie Wei was speechless.

The principal had told me before that I should develop in the direction of military technology.

No support down there?

Liang Hongbin’s words before had prepared Xie Wei mentally, but Han Yong’s attitude was still hard for him to accept.

Just give me something, at least.

"Teacher Han, the students in the experimental class have no basic knowledge at all. Without anyone to guide them, they don't know how to start."

Mo Lingyu became anxious.

"Xie Wei knows. It's not that I don't give it to people. Most of the people involved in the radio engineering project are learning on the job! The people in your experimental class have good learning abilities, right?"

Got it!
Another big shot who is eyeing the talents in the experimental class.

"Professor Han, how much technical guidance and spare parts can the department provide?"
