Coming out of Professor Tian's office, Mu Jingchi rushed to the Materials Research Building.

After giving Mu Jingchi some lessons, Professor Tian did not talk about teaching assistants, saying that he would take the time to read Mu Jingchi's PPT first.

"Fundamentals of Materials Science" will only start in the second week, and there is still time to do it.

When he returned to Mu Jingchi in the Materials Research Building, he immediately instructed Ai Xiaosheng to ask him to convene other graduate students for a meeting in a small conference room.

Mu Jingchi's scientific research team has only six people, which is not much.

In fact, the creativity of the team and the size of the team are inverted U-shaped, that is, too much is not good, too little is not good, and medium is just right.

In fact, it is easy to understand that brainstorming and the sense of cooperation must be the most efficient in a certain size of people. When there is a brainstorming session, there are only two people in total, of course, it can also be stormed, but the effect is still not very good.

On the other hand, if there are 100 people in the meeting, and everyone can talk freely, what will the scene be like and what will be the outcome.

It's like haggling at the wet market!

Therefore, a scientific research team composed of 2 to 8 people is the most efficient.

Of course, large-scale research projects are not included in this category, which require the cooperation of multiple project teams and even research institutes.

Six people were carefully selected by Mu Jingchi, only Ai Xiaosheng and himself were doctoral students, and the others were all master's students. But he is also a good graduate student, Mu Jingchi who is too shallow can't look down on him, and he who is too strong to want to be the next Mu Jingchi.

I don't want to be condescending.

···

The meeting was held as scheduled.

This is a brainstorming session hosted by Mu Jingchi, or a meeting on the design of the experimental protocol.

For the direction of scientific research topics of aluminum alloy, in fact, Mu Jingchi already has a number in his mind. But as a project leader for the first time, and still around the same age as these team members, you can't behave too domineering.

Let's start with a discussion to show the open-mindedness of being in charge.

"Any ideas, everyone?"

Without putting on the posture of a formal meeting, several people sat together, and Mu Jingchi put forward the goals of the project, and his eyes wandered around these graduate students one by one.

They were also not stage frightened, and when they heard Mu Jingchi's speech, they immediately raised their hands to speak.

"I think we should start from the production process, I scanned some papers yesterday, and they proposed... ”

Mu Jingchi listened very carefully, his eyes did not wander, he just put it on the speaker's body, followed the other party's gaze, and sometimes nodded his head to echo the points of view in his mouth, showing his respect for others.

At the same time, Mu Jingchi also wrote down some key points and points in his notebook with a pen in his hand.

This serious look impressed the others, and the atmosphere of the meeting was immediately lively.

For the direction of the production process alone, they had an in-depth discussion for half an hour, and negated, affirmed and uncertain the various plans for the production process.

Some people also propose to start from the theory of material science and use theory to guide production. As long as the theory is more detailed and accurate, the properties of the materials manufactured by the same production process will be very different.

In this general direction of material theory, there are many small directions. For example, the direction of dislocation slip, the direction of material thermodynamics, the direction of calculation and analysis, the direction of recovery kinetics, the kinetics of recrystallization, and so on.

Everyone has their own ideas and directions that they are good at, and if the direction they finally decide on is what they are good at, then the more resources they get.

Therefore, the discussion on the issue of direction is becoming more and more enthusiastic.

In the end, it was Mu Jingchi who interrupted it.

"Well, our funds are already down, so don't be too anxious. Mu Jingchi gave them a reassuring look, "As for the direction, I see that you all have your own pride. In this way, you each design your own experimental plan, and then we will discuss it according to the specific experimental plan, and then decide on the direction of the scientific research project. ”

"The experimental plan does not need to be too formal, just express your ideas, explain your theory, and the content is clear and organized. ”

Mu Jingchi said his plan gently.

Now that the open-mindedness of speaking freely has been demonstrated, it is time for Mu Jingchi to crush and show domineering, which is called saluting first and then soldiering!

···

"Whew, "The Guest" is finally finished. ”

Knocking down the last punctuation mark and saving the document, Mu Jingchi moved his wrist and stood up.

The school is busy, so the time to go home these days is also a little late, so Mu Jingchi's suspense novel "The Guest" has not been finished until now.

"The Guest" is divided into two parts, the first part is the "mechanical" part and the second part is the "murder" part.

Finding Zhang Chuyang and Fang Yihan's mailboxes, Mu Jingchi sent the document over, which had been promised to them a long time ago. Then, Mu Jingchi called Ji Lingling again and asked for Ji Lingling's email address and sent her it too.

As for his father and mother, Mu Jingchi didn't send an email, and was going to print it out directly for the two of them to see. After all, in their situation, it is too troublesome for them to read books on their mobile phones.

···

"It's rare that you, the great god, invited me to dinner!"

Shi Xiangming was very surprised when she received Mu Jingchi's call. Since the last time the two failed on a blind date, they have never been in touch, even if it is a liking in the circle of friends.

This time, the choice of dishes for the meal was not Japanese food, but hot pot. After all, in this kind of weather, people still prefer to eat hot pot. found an old Beijing mutton shabu, ordered a small box, and the two sat opposite each other.

"I'm looking for something to do with you, and I'm sure I'm going to invite you to dinner. ”

Mu Jingchi said as he pushed the drink to Shi Xiangming's side.

Shi Xiangming's chopsticks paused when they heard this, "It shouldn't be a particularly difficult thing, right? A great god like you can't handle it, let alone me." ”

Although Mu Jingchi is not her ideal type, it is still good to eat together and be friends. Who would have too many friends of this type of scholar, and if you don't like it, you can introduce it to your sisters!

With such a thought, Shi Xiangming went to the meeting.

"It's not difficult for you at all. Mu Jingchi's gaze fell on Shi Xiangming through the mist rising from the hot pot, "I wrote a suspense novel, aren't you an online writer, I want you to see what's wrong, I'll proofread it." ”

Looking at your own work is a very mysterious process, and you can't really see it, so you need other people's reference.

"Huh?" Shi Xiangming was also stunned, and put down her chopsticks in the pot, "I'm an online writer, but I write a female frequency article, which is a little wrong with your suspense article!"

Mu Jingchi shook his head, "Although this is not an online novel, it can be regarded as popular literature, regardless of men, women and children, it has reference value." ”

"And as a writer, you should be able to see something from the writer's standpoint. ”
