For the School of Chemistry of Jinling University, this semester seems to be a little different from previous years.

At the first class meeting of the school year, the instructor who usually sees the head and the end of the dragon rarely appeared in the classroom, and without saying a word, he threw a document into the hands of the school committee and motioned for him to send it down.

“…… What are the internship documents of Jinling Institute of Computational Materials? What are we doing with this stuff in our freshman year? ”

"Damn, and salary?"

"Ten hours of work are required per week, which is about a thousand a month based on hourly wages. Yes, my living expenses are only 800. ”

Before the leaflet was distributed, the students of Yinghua Class 1 began to discuss it as if they had exploded.

Han Mengqi is the same, and is surprised by the content on this leaflet.

However, for her, it was just strange.

Sitting next to Han Mengqi, a girl who looked a little tall poked her arm and asked curiously.

"Mengqi Mengqi, are you interested?"

There are only eight girls in the first class, which adds up to just two dormitories. This little girl named Li Fang is both her roommate and her best friend.

"Not interested......"

Han Mengqi shook her head and stuffed the leaflet into a drawer.

First, she is not interested in the internship work of 1,000 yuan a month, and second, she plans to change majors next semester and does not need this scientific research resume.

To be honest, she still couldn't figure it out. The freshman year is basically a general course, not to mention doing chemistry experiments, and it is good to remember how to spell chemical equations. Even if you go to an internship unit, what can it come in handy?

"Okay, everyone be quiet, listen to me," the instructor clapped his hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, cleared his throat, and said in a routine tone, "In order to cultivate research-oriented talents and respond to the national new energy strategic layout, our institute has reached a cooperation agreement with Jinling Institute of Computational Materials. ”

"I'm sure you've probably read the contents of the flyer, so I won't repeat it. To put it simply, you can think of this as an internship in materials research. ”

"The work that requires you to do is probably simple work, with a minimum of 10 hours a week, concentrated on weekends. Students who are interested in research, or who plan to go to graduate school in the future, can consider it. There are not many opportunities to participate in research as an undergraduate, so take advantage of it yourself. ”

At this time, a student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, is this internship reliable?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the instructor was immediately happy, looked at the student and said with a smile: "The director is your senior, do you think it is reliable?" Anyway, I think it's much more reliable than the part-time jobs you find outside. ”

It's a senior?!

Whispers of communication suddenly sounded in the classroom, discussing who this big bull was.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back his curiosity, raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, which senior is so cranky?" ”

Hearing this question, the instructor smiled and said, "Lu Zhoubei, computational materials, who else can we be?" ”

The students in the class gasped suddenly, and then excited expressions appeared on their faces.

Land God!

Although the land god had already ascended to Princeton by the time they arrived, the legend he left behind was passed down by word of mouth among the seniors who looked up to him for his rise.

From Zhou's guess to Goldbach's conjecture, and then from the Cole Prize in Number Theory to the Cafford Prize, as the youngest professor at Princeton University, he has achieved something that countless people cannot achieve in a lifetime before the age of 23.

Unexpectedly, the director of the Institute of Computational Materials Science turned out to be this big guy.

Could it be that this big guy is no longer satisfied with his achievements in mathematics and has begun to enter the field of chemistry?

Compared with those Yinghua group members who were in shock, Han Mengqi was completely stunned after hearing the name, and there was no movement for a long time.

After explaining everything that should be explained, the instructor threw down the sentence "If you are interested, report your name to the class leader", and then stopped talking, leaving time for the students to discuss on their own.

The classroom was lively again, and the students of the first class of Yinghua were excitedly discussing.

"The seniors I know said that it is better to participate in this kind of opportunity, and it will be written on the resume in the future, which can be regarded as a scientific research resume. Moreover, this research institute seems to be one of the research units of national key projects. ”

A buddy couldn't help but say, "Then the competition will be fierce, right?" ”

"It's important to participate," a boy patted the buddy next to him on the shoulder and gave him a "you know" look, "The opportunity must be for the seniors, but you don't have to pay for a name." ”

"You don't have to pay money, but it seems that after you apply, you have to take two more math courses."

"Learn? Anyway, it doesn't count as credits, and it doesn't take exams, so it's not up to you whether you go or not in the end. ”

Lowering her head, Han Mengqi thought for a long time.

She thinks about things differently from her classmates.

Although she has been trying very hard to catch up with her master, even if she has tried her best, she has not been able to change anything. Whether it's the Cole Number Theory Prize or the Crafford Prize, every honor is beyond the reach of mortals.

She is still sitting here, even if she is a top student in the eyes of her classmates, but that's all.

In fact, after failing the college entrance examination, she tried to submit her resume to Princeton University, but did not get a reply from the admissions officer. She didn't tell her sister about it.

She is also somewhat clear that it is impossible to catch up with her master in mathematics.

But outside of mathematics, there may be a glimmer of possibility......

Thinking of this, Han Mengqi's little hand couldn't help but clench gently, and the confusion in her pupils gradually dissipated.

Seeing that her good friend lowered her head and didn't speak, Li Fang looked at her with some worry and asked.

"Mongie? What happened to you? Isn't there something uncomfortable......"

A hint of determination appeared in her eyes, and Han Mengqi suddenly raised her head.

"I'm going to sign up!"

……

Institute of Carbon Nanomaterials, in an office.

Looking at the graduation application in his hand, Professor Li sighed.

"Of all my students, your abilities are the most optimistic to me, and it's a pity not to continue your PhD. To be honest, I was reluctant to let go. ”

Qian Zhongming shook his head and insisted on his own opinion: "The place where I can do research is not only universities, but I am very interested in the emerging discipline of computational materials science, and I hope that professors can complete it." ”

Although he said that he was reluctant to let him go, Professor Li finally sighed and signed the document.

"Remember to write a self-appraisal and prepare for your graduation defense, the process you have to go through."

The Jinling Institute of Computational Materials is not badly paid, and full-time contracts are also offered in addition to internship contracts. According to the public salary standard, the basic salary of master's students is 8,000 yuan with bonuses and other benefits, which is still higher than most of their peers.

Although Li Rongen's original plan was to arrange a research and development position for him in Zhongshan New Materials when he graduated, it seems that now he probably has no such fate.

Looking at his students, Professor Li paused and said solemnly: "Go ahead, Professor Lu is a very high-level person, I believe that you will be able to learn more things by following him." ”

Putting away the stamped document, Qian Zhongming said sincerely.

"Thank you."

Professor Li nodded and did not speak.

At this time, it is superfluous to say anything, everything is not spoken.

Liu Bo, who had been silent beside him, suddenly made a decision and spoke.

"Professor, I want to apply for graduation too."

Looking at his other student, Professor Li smiled.

"Apply for it, and I'll sign it for you."

Liu Bo was very hurt and said, "Professor, don't you want to keep it?" ”

Professor Li joked: "Not graduating? Okay, I'll keep you for another year. ”

Liu Bo suddenly panicked: "This can't be, professor, I got an offer." ”

Professor Li smiled and waved his hand.

"Alright, don't mess around with me here."

"Two people, let's get out together."
