In the next few days, Mu Jingchi was busy.

The busiest thing is not the PPT that Professor Tian arranged for him, nor the "Guest" that he writes every day, but the affairs of the scientific research team.

At this time, Mu Jingchi really understood the various situations in scientific research.

There is a saying: "The team is the foundation, and the talent is the key"; In fact, these truths are also related to the construction of scientific research teams.

When reaching the level of Mujingchi, scientific research funding is no longer a problem, and scientific research has risen to the level of "entering the mainstream, establishing the frontier, high level, and seeking breakthroughs".

Without a high-level talent team and an efficient research team, it is almost impossible to achieve such a level. Acting alone, with only a few SCI articles per year, at most, it is to apply for several funds every year.

For individuals, it may not be a problem to complete tasks and funds, but it can only be a state of small prosperity. If you want to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars on scientific research every year, or win national science and technology awards for scientific research achievements, it is basically a utopia.

Therefore, talent is key.

However, the human mind is very complicated.

The person you want, that is to say, the person who has the ability, he is not willing to be controlled by you, he is definitely not willing to come, he wants to do it himself, or he wants to hug a big tree, "the pool is too small to accommodate big fish." ”

Some people want to come, but you don't want it, if the people who want to come just want to make up the number of people, or have a year-end assessment to rely on, it is a waste of resources.

Also, as the person in charge of the project, Mu Jingchi also has a heavy task, and this position is also difficult.

Pressure is one thing, and there are basic research funding tasks to be completed every year. Basic task division: Professor: 300W, Associate Professor: 200W, Lecturer: 100W. Of course, he doesn't have this task yet, but he also has teaching assistant affairs!

In addition, the training task of graduate students, these graduate students follow Mu Jingchi's team, so Mu Jingchi will also be responsible for their training tasks, which cannot be shaken off.

If the tasks are unevenly distributed and the treatment is unevenly distributed, it will offend people, and even the people below will 'rebel', and the team that has just been formed may directly disintegrate because of the uneven distribution of resources.

These things have already troubled Mu Jingchi, but this is only part of it.

In addition, the control of various raw materials, the use of equipment, and the communication with other teams all require the person in charge of Mu Jingchi's research group to greet other leaders.

Otherwise, the raw materials may be wrong, the equipment may be used in an overlapping time, and so on.

If it was the introverted Mu Jingchi before, he would definitely be completely confused when he encountered so many things. But although Mu Jingchi, who crossed over, also maintained a cold personality, he was more sleek in terms of interpersonal communication.

After all, he had experienced social beatings in his previous life.

Troublesome things followed, and Mu Jingchi tried his best to finally build the project team at the beginning of the school year.

···

"Seeing that you are busy before and after, you have encountered a lot of difficulties, right?"

Before school starts.

Mu Jingchi finally took a time to send the PPT of "Fundamentals of Materials Science" that he had made at home to Professor Tian. There are two copies of this PPT, one copy of the electronic file, and one copy of the paper file.

What is given to Professor Tian now is a paper file.

Professor Tian got up from his desk chair, walked to Mu Jingchi, and took the document, but did not say anything about the teaching assistant of 'Fundamentals of Materials Science', but asked about Mu Jingchi's topic.

"Yes," Mu Jingchi couldn't help but sweat for himself when he thought of the things he had encountered in the past few days and how cumbersome the things he had solved, "Thanks to the mediation of Teacher Wang and Professor Yang." ”

He is busy with many things, but he can't do it on his own, and he must rely on Mr. Wang Binbin and Professor Yang Wenwu.

Professor Tian pointed to the sofa and asked Mu Jingchi to sit.

He took a glass of water from a disposable cup and handed it to Mu Jingchi, who was sitting on the sofa, and Professor Tian sat beside him and spoke in an aria reminiscence tone.

"You're nothing, and now the conditions are good. ”

Professor Tian fell into the memory, "When we used to do scientific research, we didn't understand anything at that time, and we didn't have anything. They all said that we crossed the river by feeling the stones, and at that time we didn't even know what the 'stones' looked like. ”

Mu Jingchi listened to Professor Tian's emotion, and his thoughts were also drawn into the last century.

At that time, we all knew the importance of materials, but the gap between them and foreign countries was too big.

It's really just a little bit of trial and error.

Not to mention the reverse imitation, even if foreign countries put the theory in front of them, they may not be able to understand it; even if the production method is announced, Huaxia does not have the process to produce it.

It can be said that it is difficult in all directions.

"Lao Yang has come to me many times, and every time he comes over, he inevitably mentions you and Zhang Chuyang, saying that you two are the best material seedlings he has ever met. Zhang Chuyang's theoretical analysis is good, but you are even higher than him, and your eyebrows flutter when you talk about it, and you can't hide your joy. ”

Instead of dwelling on the memories of a bygone era, Professor Tian pulled the topic back in the next moment.

"The award of the National Outstanding Youth was brought over by Lao Yang for his favor. Although your previous Z325 alloy series is good enough to deserve this award, some people are still against it. I feel that you are too young and may not be stable enough, or you may get carried away when you are suddenly complimented, and advocate pressing on you. ”

Professor Tian's expression gradually became serious as he spoke.

"I don't say this to make you grateful to Lao Yang, or to repay him. I hope you can take it seriously, continue to walk in the material industry in a down-to-earth manner, and you will be able to achieve something with your talent, and don't live up to Lao Yang's expectations. ”

"As long as you don't waste your talent, it is the best reward for Lao Yang. ”

After the seriousness, Professor Tian's expression relaxed again, and he smiled on his face.

"Also, the most taboo in scientific research is to be constrained and doubt yourself, choose a direction, and just do it directly. Professor Tian's voice raised a little, and his loud voice stirred up in the office, "With me and Lao Yang behind you, don't be too restrained, just go forward." ”

After listening to Mu Jingchi's previous academic report, I knew that his theoretical knowledge was solid, rich and profound, and he really made such achievements as Z325 series aluminum alloys, which was worthy of Professor Tian and Professor Yang Wenwu to support Mu Jingchi in the back.

"From now on, it will be the world of you young people. ”

Professor Tian patted Mu Jingchi on the shoulder, "Now the chief designers of domestic aircraft carriers are all post-80s, and you, the post-95s who aim for military materials, can't be left behind!"

"Well, I will!"

Although Mu Jingchi's answer was brief, it was generous and powerful.
