Two tutors, three students, a total of five people held an academic conference together.

The meeting made the following resolutions:

The paper "A Method for Solving the Optimal System, Exact Solution and Conservation Law of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Universal Significance and Specific Application Environment" has been revised to the most perfect state, and will be sent to the submission system of the internationally renowned physics journal PRL in a short time. This operation is done thanks to Xin.

The review cycle for PRL can be as short as one or two months, as long as six months or even a year. We can't just wait for the paper to be reviewed, and the report to the academic committee of the university needs to be carried out at the same time. Wen Hao is responsible for submitting the report application and following up the report time.

Regarding this report, Cao Zhenggang will be responsible for the overall framework description, and the specific technical details will be completed by Xia Lu.

Everyone performed their own duties and carried out their own work after the meeting.

The school takes this project very seriously, and the academic committee recommended an internal report as soon as possible, which was scheduled for 9 a.m. this Thursday.

In a blink of an eye, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Cao Zhenggang, Yu Feng, Xia Lu, Yu Xin, and Wen Hao came to the lecture hall of the school's academic committee.

The Academic Committee is the highest academic decision-making body of Jiangcheng University, and the members of the committee are all heavyweights in the university.

According to the internal regulations of Jiangcheng University, the application for scientific research projects exceeding 3 million yuan must be reported to the academic committee before the project is approved. The project can only be approved after the academic committee has passed the review.

Cao Zhenggang's project has been approved last year, and the scientific research funds have been put in place.

There were five people sitting on the judging bench in the lecture hall, four of whom were leaders in the field of scientific research and administration, and the other was the backbone of the audit department.

The report meeting was presided over by Du Youkang, chairman of the academic committee and president of Jiangcheng University.

President Du is an academician of the Academy of Sciences and a top expert in theoretical physics.

The principal personally participated in the review meeting, which shows the importance of the school to this project.

Principal Du looked at the five people on the report table one by one and said, "Xiao Cao, let's start." ”

Cao Zhenggang stood up, bowed first, and then said: "Thank you very much to President Du and all the leaders for taking time out of their busy schedules to conduct acceptance and evaluation of our projects. Then I won't be verbose and go straight to the point. ”

"Before the formal presentation, allow me to introduce the members of our team to the leaders. "It's not the first time Cao Zhenggang has made a report to the leadership, and he is very familiar with the reporting process.

"Hmm. Principal Du nodded, and he looked at the three young new faces Xia Lu, Yu Xin, and Wen Hao with interest.

"This is my partner, Professor Yu Feng. Cao Zheng has just started to introduce his team members.

Yu Feng stood up and bowed: "Hello Principal Du, good leaders." ”

Principal Du knew Yu Feng, and he smiled at Yu Feng: "Xiao Yu is very good, the youngest mathematics elite in our school. ”

Cao Zhenggang continued to introduce: "Yu Xin and Wen Hao, they are graduate students brought by me and Yu Feng. ”

Yu Xin and Wen Hao stood up, and the two graduate students followed the example of their mentors and bowed to the leaders humbly: "Hello President Du, good leaders." ”

"Hello two classmates. Principal Du said kindly, "So your team is very young, Xiao Cao and Xiao Yu are only in their early thirties, and the average age of your team is only in their twenties. ”

Finally, Cao Zhenggang introduced Xia Lu: "This classmate is Xia Lu, he is a first-year student in the science experimental class of Hongyi School. ”

"Oh?" Principal Du had already noticed Xia Lu, because Xia Lu looked the youngest.

But Principal Du and other leaders never expected that the young Xia Lu was actually a first-year student?

The number of undergraduates in the science experimental class or the engineering experimental class of Hony Academy is very large.

The best undergraduate students in the experimental class of Hongyi Academy worked with their tutors in their sophomore years.

Xia Lu, he participated in such an important scientific research project in his freshman year. This came as a surprise to President Du and other leaders present.

Xia Lu stood up and bowed: "Hello President Du, good leaders." ”

"Hello Xia Lu. Principal Du remembered the name Xia Lu, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal.

It's not unthinkable for the best first-year students to follow their instructors and make a data chart using off-the-shelf software and formulas.

"So let's move on to the overall progress of the project. Cao Zhenggang took the flip pen, played PPT, and said: "A method for solving the optimal system, exact solution and conservation law of nonlinear partial differential equations that has universal significance and is suitable for specific application environments" has been strongly supported by the ministry and our school, and the scientific research fund allocated by the ministry is 5 million yuan, and the basic theoretical research fund given by the school is 1 million yuan. ”

"The use of 6 million yuan of scientific research funds strictly abides by the scientific research system of the state and the university, and it can be said that every penny has been spent on the knife edge and has achieved the expected results. The details of the use of 6 million scientific research funds are displayed on the big screen, please review them. After the end of this report, the various bills will be presented to colleagues in the finance and audit departments. ”

The screen shows that 4.12 million of the 6 million scientific research funds have been spent.

Among them, the purchase of hardware and software is the largest, spending 2.87 million.

Other expenses incurred include material fees, travel expenses, conference fees, domestic and foreign academic investigation fees, etc.

Xia Lu calmly listened to Mr. Cao's overall review of the topic on the surface, but his heart was surging.

Nearly 3 million yuan of hardware and software, I haven't used it. The method I wrote, the hardware used is my laptop with the original price of 6888 yuan, and the software is LaTex, that's all...... Although Xia Lu wrote the method, he is still in the rookie stage in the overall operation of the scientific research project, and he still needs to continue to learn. The most effective way to learn is, of course, to participate in a research project as a project leader.

From the establishment of the project to the completion, if you have personally led a project, you should be able to figure out the doorway...... Xia Lu has a new goal.

"For important scientific research projects, the money that should be spent must be spent, and everyone who does scientific research knows that scientific research is very expensive. However, money that should not be spent should not be spent. President Du said solemnly, and then said to Cao Zhenggang in a relatively gentle tone: "I am also engaged in theoretical physics, I know your subject well, and there is no big problem with the use of your scientific research funds." ”

"The key is whether you have completed the preset tasks? Xiao Cao, let's go straight to the content of the academic report. I have a meeting at 11 o'clock, and you have to explain clearly to me and my colleagues here within two hours the academic issues that should be discussed. President Du stared at Cao Zhenggang with blazing eyes, his principle is that you can spend money within the budget, but you must complete the scientific research tasks assigned by the above, otherwise......

"Okay, my overall review is complete, and now Xia Lu will report on the specific academic proof calculation process and conclusions. Cao Zhenggang nodded, and handed the page-turning pen to Xia Lu.

"Xia Lu will report on the specific academic content?" Principal Du was really surprised.

"Yes, Xia Lu is the first author of this paper, and he has contributed greatly to this project. The paper has already been submitted to PRL, and we think there is a high probability that it will pass the review. Cao Zhenggang looked at Xia Lu and cast an encouraging look at Xia Lu.

？

!

……

The eyes of Principal Du and other leaders were all focused on Xia Lu.

Some are questioning, some are surprised, and some are speechless.

It is understandable that first-year students are doing chores in the project team. But Cao Zhenggang said that Xia Lu is the first author, and he has made a great contribution to this project, which is a bit exaggerated, right?

Xia Lu operated the flip pen and switched to the proof calculation page in the PPT, and he asked, "Leaders, can I start reporting?"
