Pujiang Jiaotong University, Department of Chemical Engineering. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Hongtai sat in the laboratory, looking at the experimental notebook in front of him, which had only written a few pages, and his face was as gloomy as the sky before the rain.

In the past few months, Wang Hongtai was most afraid of receiving a call from the capital, because he didn't know how to explain to the leaders of the Heavy Equipment Office who trusted him, especially how to face Wu Shican, a senior teacher he respected very much. He is just a small lecturer, but Professor Wu and Director Feng of the Heavy Equipment Office believe in themselves so much that they provide 500,000 yuan of financial support for their research projects, which is the highest amount of funding received by the entire Pujiang Jiaotong University in this bidding.

The moment he walked out of the defense venue, Wang Hongtai had already made up his mind that he would rather live 20 years less than conquer the ruthenium catalyst. Yes, his generation grew up listening to the stories of iron men, and since he was a child, he very much wanted to be the kind of heroic model who made contributions to the country. He was a scholar, powerless, and could not have gone to the vast ice fields to drill for oil like the Iron Men. But he has his way of serving the country, that is, to make scientific research achievements that reach the world's first-class level, so that China's science and technology can reach a higher level.

He has always thought that he has the ability and ambition, but he just lacks the conditions. Now, the Heavy Equipment Office has given him a subsidy of 500,000 yuan, what reason does he have for not being able to produce results?

Full of hope, he returned to Pujiang with the other teachers in the school. The funds allocated by the refurbishment office were very timely, and less than two weeks after Wang Hongtai and his family returned, the first amount of funds had already reached the school's account. This amount of money is as much as 600,000 yuan, which belongs to different topics, of which Wang Hongtai's ruthenium catalyst project is as much as 100,000 yuan. According to the department where the project host is located, the Finance and Economics Office of the University has issued a notice of use of funds, informing each project host that they can start to apply for these funds.

Wang Hongtai received a notice from Dong Hongying, the director of the department, that the funds had been received and asked him to come over to discuss the research plan. He rushed to the conference room of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere was different. In the conference room, there were several main leaders of the department, as well as a few professors. Seeing Wang Hongtai enter the door, all the people threw a kind smile at him, and they smiled one by one to reveal their white or yellow teeth smoked by cigarettes, which made Wang Hongtai have a chilling feeling.

"Xiao Wang, congratulations, you have won glory for our chemical engineering department!"

Gao Xinwei, the head of the department, stood up in person, stepped forward to shake Wang Hongtai's hand, and pulled Wang Hongtai to sit down beside him. In Wang Hongtai's memory, he never seemed to have been treated so highly, he felt that he should express his excitement or other emotions, but a very inappropriate sentence involuntarily came to his mind:

Weasel greets chickens......

After Wang Hongtai sat down, Gao Xinwei announced the opening of the meeting. He cleared his throat and said to the crowd:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are holding an expert meeting, the main topic of which is to discuss the research topic of ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process delivered to our Department of Chemical Engineering by the National Heavy Equipment Office. The application report for this topic was written by Mr. Wang Hongtai with the full cooperation of all teachers in the department. Mr. Wang also lived up to his expectations and accepted the questioning of the experts of the Heavy Equipment Office in Beijing, so that the project was approved. The Heavy Equipment Office provided a grant of 500,000 yuan for this project, which is the highest amount of funding received by the whole school in this project declaration, which is the honor of all the teachers of our Department of Chemical Engineering!"

Belch...... , Wang Hongtai was a little stunned. How did he become a "writer" when he was obviously the proposer of a research plan? The so-called "writer" means that someone else has an idea and is responsible for writing it out. If the statement of writing is debatable, then it seems that this project is not quite right to say that the project was delivered to the entire Department of Chemical Engineering.

The topics in the school have always had to explain the specific host. Although externally it can be said that it is a project undertaken by Pujiang Jiaotong University or a project undertaken by the Department of Chemical Engineering, internally, it is absolutely necessary to say that this is a topic of Professor Zhang or Professor Li.

Wang Hongtai is an unsociable person, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he doesn't know how to deal with it all of a sudden. He had the heart to refute Gao Xinwei's words, but he felt that it was not appropriate to directly confront the head of the department in public. He opened his mouth several times, but no sound came out. At this time, Gao Xinwei had already continued:

"I don't think the importance of the National Equipment Science and Technology Fund needs to be repeated. When the state entrusts us with such an important project, we must concentrate the strength of the whole department, work hard to tackle key problems, forge ahead, complete the research task with the fullest enthusiasm and the most rigorous attitude, and hand over the most perfect answer sheet to the country. ”

"High ...... Director Gao, concentrate the strength of the whole department,...... It's a little unnecessary, isn't it?" Wang Hongtai stumbled. This is a big project, and of course it requires manpower, but the teachers in the department have their own research directions, and many people don't know about this problem at all. For example, Qu Shoulin, he is a big bull, but he doesn't know anything about ruthenium catalysts, so much so that he makes jokes like "nail catalysts". What's the point of bringing these teachers who don't understand this problem into a research group?

Hearing Wang Hongtai's words, Gao Xinwei's face sank suddenly, and he said solemnly: "Xiao Wang, this kind of thinking of yours is very dangerous! How can we take such a big project lightly as the Heavy Equipment Office has entrusted us? Do you think that if the department sends you alone to the capital to defend the defense, it means that you can complete the project alone?"

"No, I never thought I could do a project on my own. Two days ago, I have communicated with several teachers in the department, including Tang Ruihao, Huang Yu, Zhang Qiang, ...... "Wang Hongtai said a few names, they are all teachers in the Department of Chemical Engineering who are engaged in this kind of research, and the relationship with him is not bad on weekdays." "Several of them agreed to participate in the program," he said. In addition, there are several experts from the Pujiang Chemical Industry Bureau, and I have asked them about the ammonia catalyst in the past, and when the project starts, I will invite them to come and participate in it. ”

Gao Xinwei frowned and said, "Tang Ruihao and Huang Yu are all young lecturers, and they are not enough. As for the experts from the Pujiang Chemical Industry Bureau, it's okay to invite them over for a meeting once in a while, but if we expect them to help us complete this project, where will we put our face at Pudong Jiaotong University? It's not that there are no well-known professors in our department, so why should we go to the near and far to find experts from other units?"

"But ......," Wang Hongtai didn't know what to say. These well-known professors in the department are not engaged in this direction, so what is the use of being well-known? But now that these people are sitting opposite him, how can he say this in front of others?

Gao Xinwei didn't care about Wang Hongtai's attitude, he said: "The department attaches great importance to this matter, and we have just had a meeting to discuss it. The opinion of the expert committee of the department is to set up a special research group, with Professor Qu Shousheng as the leader, I as the executive deputy leader, and Professor Wu Ronggen and Professor Cheng Chirong as the second and third deputy leaders of the project. You are familiar with this project, and you are the teacher who went to Beijing to report, so the expert committee decided to appoint you as the fourth deputy leader of the research group. As for the other members of the research group, we will discuss it later. You said that Tang Rui is good, they are interested, and they can also absorb it and do some daily work. ”

"Fourth Deputy Team Leader...... "Wang Hongtai's heart alpaca is running wild, is there any mistake, this is the project I applied for, how did I become the fourth deputy team leader? and Qu Shousheng, actually became the project team leader, is he embarrassed?

Gao Xinwei also felt a little embarrassed at this time, after all, the intellectuals in the 80s were still more embarrassed, and at that time, the professor had not yet evolved into a beast, so he knew something about shame. He coughed hypocritically and said: "Xiao Wang, in fact, the ranking of this position is only false, and Professor Qu and Professor Wu are just names in the research group, mainly to make the superior leaders feel that we attach more importance to it and send a very strong camp. As for myself, I have an executive deputy team leader to serve everyone. When the project is done, it involves the use of the laboratory, the purchase of equipment, the reimbursement of funds, etc., and someone has to run errands, right?"

"That's ...... , uh, okay too. Wang Hongtai compromised. Since Gao Xin didn't say that those big bulls were just names, they must have felt that they were a little embarrassed to stay out of such a big topic, so they came over to rub the heat. Wang Hongtai doesn't care about others grabbing credit from him, and even makes achievements in the future, and Wang Hongtai can accept it if he asks several professors to sign their names or something. Although the fourth deputy leader seems to be ranked relatively low, listening to Gao Xinwei's meaning, this research work will still be presided over by him, as long as he can do things, why should he bother with this kind of false name?

People under the eaves can't help but bow their heads. As Gao Xinwei said, there are many things involved in doing a project, such as the arrangement of the laboratory, the procurement of equipment, the reimbursement of funds, and the use of graduate students in the department, all of which need to be coordinated by the leaders of the department. You don't benefit the leader at all, can the leader provide you with convenience?

"Xiao Wang, do a good job, your future is very ambitious. By the way, when you are evaluated as an associate professor next year, the department will rank you first. The department knows that you have made such a great contribution. ”

Gao Xinwei threw out another carrot, which made Wang Hongtai feel a little more comfortable.
