Chapter 482: Dimensional Study
Professor Michael, Su Zhe's mentor when he was a student at the Federal University of Science and Technology, although Su Zhe rejected Professor Michael's offer to keep him working on behalf of the university, but the ease between teachers and students was still very good, and there was no conflict because of this incident.
As an excellent teacher, Professor Michael is very proud of Su Zhe's protΓ©gΓ©, although he failed to stay in the university can not but be said to be a pity, this is also a loss for the Federal University of Science and Technology, from the current achievements of Su Zhe, the decision to refuse to stay in the university was not wrong, compared with the Federal Academy of Sciences, although the Federal University of Science and Technology is famous in the Federal High Court, from the perspective of academic status and scientific research development, the Federal Academy of Sciences is still the best choice for all scientists.
I haven't seen him for many years, and Professor Michael is still the same as he remembers, and if anything, it's just that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are a little more dense. Professor Michael was very happy to see his proud disciple come to visit him.
"Professor, I haven't had a chance to see you all these years, you don't blame me, do you?" Seeing the teacher, Su Zhe was a little restrained at first, but soon the familiar smile and hearty voice made those small barriers in his heart disappear, and after a few cold words, Su Zhe asked embarrassedly.
"Why, aren't you coming to see me now?" Professor Michael laughed and said, "Don't forget that Professor Pang and I are also friends, and you have been in charge of the military's scientific and technological support as an expert of the Federal Academy of Sciences for many years, so of course you don't have time to come to see me, an old man." But it doesn't matter, as a teacher, what could be happier than seeing your students where they are now? β
In Professor Michael's office, Su Zhe and the teacher talked freely, although Professor Michael is more engaged in theoretical work in his profession, which is somewhat different from Su Zhe's current work, and he can be used as a scholar in the same major. Coupled with the relationship between teachers and students, the two sides still had a good chat about their respective research topics. In addition to work, they also talked about many things in life, and when he learned that Su Zhe already had his own girlfriend, and if nothing else, they would get married next year, Professor Michael was even more happy. told Su Zhe to invite him at that time, and if he could, he hoped to be a witness to the marriage of Su Zhe and his wife.
Of course, Su Zhe would not refuse the teacher's request, and agreed to it in one bite. Then they talked about their work, and Professor Michael asked Su Zhe about his current work arrangements at the Federal Academy of Sciences, and when he learned that the Federal Academy of Sciences had approved Su Zhe to establish his own laboratory, Professor Michael was sincerely proud of the students' achievements.
"Good! Well done! Professor Michael sighed: "I didn't expect you to do this over the years. When I was the same age as you, I chose to stay in school, and I didn't have the courage to go to the Federal Academy of Sciences, although over the years, I also got the title of professor, and I am also a well-known scholar at the Federal University of Science and Technology, but we who are engaged in science know that I will not make more progress on the road of scientific research, and you are different. It's a good opportunity and you have to take it. Wait until the time of the future. I hope someone will give me a review, and that is to point at me and say, look! This Professor Michael is the teacher of the famous Mr. Su Zhe, although he is not a scientist at the top of the spire, but he has cultivated a great scientist! β
At this point, Professor Michael burst out laughing, just like the child. There was only the most vivid openness in this laughter. The teacher's generosity and encouragement particularly touched Su Zhe's heart, and Su Zhe felt even more ashamed of his refusal of the teacher's kindness.
"Don't be stupid, there's nothing to be ashamed of, unless you want to be a teacher like me. Going to the Federal Academy of Sciences is the right choice. Moreover, the facts now also prove that your choice back then was correct, and the teacher was only happy in his heart, how could he blame him? Professor Michael smiled with a wave of his hand, and then he gave the disciple a meaningful look.
"Su Zhe, you didn't come this time to ask me as a teacher to help you, right?"
"Teacher, I ......." When he was thinking about how to tell his intentions, Professor Michael asked him directly, which made him very embarrassed for a while.
"Silly boy, what is there to talk about with the teacher? Just say it. But let me say first, I'm just a teacher, and I don't have that much power if it's a troublesome thing. Professor Michael patted Su Zhe's shoulder and said with a smile, in fact, in the conversation with Su Zhe just now, he had vaguely guessed Su Zhe's intention.
Su Zhe immediately told the teacher about his difficulties, as a newly established laboratory, Su Zhe is now a clever woman who has no rice to cook, and without the most important scientific researchers in the laboratory, then the entire laboratory will not be able to operate even if it is established. Now, with the help of Professor Pang, Su Zhe has temporarily transferred two researchers, but the two of them alone simply cannot support the operation of a complete laboratory. No, Su Zhe, who had no choice, had no choice but to hit his alma mater and ask his teacher for help.
Professor Michael listened carefully to Su Zhe's situation, and then asked Su Zhe about his requirements for researchers, including the level of the two researchers who have now been assigned to him. After understanding everything, Professor Michael thought silently for a moment, then shook his head.
"Teacher, I know I'm asking a little too much, but I actually ......."
Seeing Professor Michael shaking his head, Su Zhe's heart suddenly sank, excellent scientific researchers are treasures everywhere, no matter how other laboratories of the Federal Academy of Sciences are the same, the same is true in the Federal University of Science and Technology. It was very humorous for him to come over to ask for help like this, and it was even more difficult for his teacher to say it, just as Su Zhe was about to withdraw his request, but before he could finish speaking, Professor Michael waved his hand at him.
"Don't be foolish, you are my student, how can a student find his own teacher when he has difficulties? Not to mention such an important thing. Professor Michael comforted with a pleasant face, and then said: "I thought about it just now, the level of the two researchers assigned to you by Professor Pang is only average, and judging from their previous work, at most, they can only serve as ordinary staff of the laboratory to do some daily experimental work, and they are not worthy of serving as the backbone of a spire laboratory in terms of quality and ability, what do you think?" β
"It's ......." Su Zhe hesitated and nodded helplessly. What Professor Michael said is not wrong at all, although the two researchers deployed are Professor Pang's kindness, but their ability Su Zhe also knows that in terms of level, it is very ordinary, of course, then again, if they are not not enough. As the head of a large laboratory, Professor Pang's job is mainly to ensure the research results of his laboratory, and it is not easy for him to do so.
"In addition, the idea that you are going to find researchers from the school, that is, the graduating students, cannot be said to be inherently wrong, but you have considered not, according to the examination system of the laboratories of the Federal Academy of Sciences. Once your lab doesn't produce convincing results within the allotted time, then there is a high chance that the lab will be cancelled and at least the budget will be squeezed. In fact, this is the same as our Federal University of Science and Technology. But those students need to be trained from the beginning, which takes a certain amount of time, this time may be a year or two years, three years or even five years and ten years, if your laboratory is already a large laboratory with achievements and competitiveness. It's advisable to bring the old with the new, but can you wait that long now? β
Professor Michael's words hit the nail on the head. hit Su Zhe's soft underbelly, indeed, as he said, Su Zhe couldn't afford to wait so long, and not every graduating student is a genius in science and technology, even Su Zhe worked in Yelena's laboratory for a long time after graduating from his doctorate, and then he slowly grew up.
"But...... This...... Teacher...... I....... β
Su Zhe didn't know how to do it for a while. He was a young man after all, and he had never experienced anything like this. Compared with his father Su Yichen, Su Zhe was lucky to live in the Federation era of cosmic civilization, but he also faced difficulties that Su Yichen had not encountered back then.
An independent laboratory. A laboratory directly under the Federal Academy of Sciences, which every scientist dreams of. But to really do it, now for Su Zhe is just the beginning, just the beginning, and the road in front of him is still tortuous and difficult.
"Has your research project been decided?" Professor Michael asked another important question, which is the focus of the follow-up work of the laboratory, for which Su Zhe has long been prepared, and immediately briefly elaborated on his future main scientific research project plan, when listening to Su Zhe's statement, Professor Michael was surprised, but also surprised at the same time as his own ambition as a student.
He never expected that Su Zhe's definite research project plan was for the study of dimensions, which was a great subject for astrophysics and the entire field of physics, and it was a topic that could hardly reach the top.
Dimension research, as a physicist, the concept of dimension is very clear, and in the entire universe, or the universe where the earth civilization is located, everything composed of the three-dimensional world plus one-dimensional time is around everyone, and the higher dimension represents the direction of cosmic civilization technology. According to the research of physics, when the universe was just formed, the whole universe was not what it is now, the universe actually has eleven or even thirteen dimensions, but this is just a theory, human civilization has not been able to break through the direction of ordinary three dimensions until now, even the more high-tech Blue Star civilization is the same.
Su Zhe's choice of this topic for research is difficult and long-term can be imagined, and Professor Michael can be sure that it is absolutely impossible for this research to produce results in a period of time. Although he was surprised that Su Zhe had chosen such a difficult and difficult research direction, he did not want Su Zhe to change the goal of the project, because he knew very well that as a scientist, it must take great courage to face scientific exploration, and he could not retreat because of difficulties, only in this way would civilization progress and mankind would go further in the universe.
Knowing Su Zhe's research direction, Professor Michael also has a recommendation in mind. However, the candidates he recommended were not students who were about to graduate or PhDs from the school, but three young researchers.
The youngest of the three researchers recommended by Professor Michael is already forty-six years old, and the oldest one is just over 50 this year.
One of the three is a young lecturer at the Federal University of Science and Technology, in fact, this person Su Zhe also knows, but he has never had any dealings. This lecturer named Shao Tai is a weirdo in the school, in fact, according to his academic ability, he could have become an associate professor a long time ago, but Shao Tai's personality is a little remote, plus he is a little stubborn, not good at communicating with people, and usually tinkers with some things that seem inexplicable to others in the school's laboratory.
However, Professor Michael has a high opinion of Shao Tai, in his opinion, Shao Tai is not an excellent teacher, but he is a scientific researcher who is born to endure loneliness and has a resilience that ordinary people do not have. What's more, the research that Shao Tai has been engaged in happens to be the same as the topic chosen by Su Zhe, and it is also in terms of dimensions, so from this point of view, Shao Tai is a very suitable candidate.
As for the other two, they are researchers in a private laboratory, but the laboratory has closed down due to financial reasons, and these two people have lost their jobs for the time being, and are now helping out in the corresponding laboratory of the Federal University of Science and Technology. Professor Michael is more familiar with them, and they know each other better, these are also two excellent scientific researchers, although their research directions are somewhat different, but you must know that the study of dimensions is not only limited to astrophysics, dimensions involve almost everything that people in the whole world have discovered or even not discovered, Professor Michael believes that since Su Zhe has chosen this direction of research, then its staffing must be inclusive, and the scientific research directions from other perspectives can be mutually corroborated in order to achieve the goal.
The three people recommended by Professor Michael for Su Zhe can be used as the backbone of the future laboratory, and with these three people, plus Su Zhe himself, then the team of four people forms the core of the laboratory, and the rest of the staffing does not need to be so important. Although the two people assigned by Professor Pang to Su Zhe are not capable, they can still take on ordinary experimental work, and then Su Zhe recruits some newcomers with good understanding and potential, so the structure of the entire laboratory can be built.
